living costs low earth all go. hello this is r.t. you're watching the weekly it's all random for the top news stories from the past seven days tonight with me kevin and it's now one am moscow time and on friday the financial world was shaken when the u.s. was stripped of its top tier triple a credit rating by standard and poor's for the first time since one thousand nine hundred seventeen its rating was downgraded to double a plus with a negative outlook white house officials have been on the defensive about that same as a two trillion dollar calculation mistake as simply admitted that but it's sticking with the decision on the last saying the huge budget deficit is still a cause for major concern all this despite the last minute deal that narrowly rescued. the country from to fold so it's

a very good trembly from the university of montreal told me the u.s. government's hands a tight now over the economy. it shows a lack of confidence in the u.s. government we are in an economy stormy you know way and it seems that the as s. and p. and other economists are saying the u.s. government it's a bit like a ship without a captain in a storm this is not very nice and pretty good and it doesn't look very good for the next three years because the election is only in two thousand and twelve and then i think the u.s. government is deadlock and cannot do any very serious policy decisions to counteract the economy don't turn and that the danger is that the u.s. economy can turn into a economy good pressure and that's. probably titian's american politicians should be trying to avoid hard try to quote an economy depression where china is

a bit of prisoner of the united states you know the main credit to the united states with more than a trillion and a half. dollars the u.s. dollar is the old. old and there was the fear when china fears that the fed the american central bank primo money would buy the most favorite bonds and that was. the u.s. dollar that went depreciated investment in the u.s. and they would be. paid back with monkey money that's why they are afraid down the road and they may try to draw from investing in the u.s. and buy gold for example the reason why well it is going up so fast because countries like china and india i think would instead of buying u.s. dollars. the long lasting political bickering over the u.s. debt ceiling followed by that last minute deal is also widely seen as another factor undermining trust in the american economy is where to put my explains. well

help us avoid the thought that ceiling nation default and this crisis time's running out the entire world is watching it's been a public spectacle filled with the bickering grandstanding and lack of compromise i just ice it could be over raising the u.s. debt ceiling created an unprecedented climate of uncertainty over america's so-called sound economy the damage has been done and i want to open everybody really thinks the united states isn't so secure it isn't so safe even if the craziness subsides it seems to have got real close and who knows whether next month next year this won't blow up again since the underlying causes economic problems are getting worse in this country club point five trillion dollars of america's borrowing is owed by foreign countries experts say washington's mismanagement may cause investors to abandon the devalued dollar and end their partnership with

america it's like being married to someone. you're the richer you well know what or why do how much can i put up with this relationship the u.s. will be for a long time the only game in. the unity is making noises chinese making noises we're going to we're alone now in our ability to be a repository for financing in the world the result could spark a replay of the two thousand and eight economic meltdown except this time washington not wall street would be responsible it's like the batteries worn out the spark plugs don't work the tires are flat all of this and so what we're trying to do is say we've got a little bit of money in the bank but say that down but we're not doing anything to fix the economy and so we're putting ourselves in a bigger and bigger hole not just because of the dad but really because we're not creating any way to get around it that instead of us president repeatedly asked

americans over the past week to join the campaign to borrow and spend more make a phone call sent an e-mail tweet keep the pressure on washington. and we can get festus while the eyes of the world have been following the heated saga playing out between u.s. politicians the main problem not going away is america's debt and the growing realisation that elected officials may never be capable of agreeing on how to solve it. r.t. new york. and those european markets also braced for monday morning after they took a hammering late last week the new central bank officials are holding emergency talks on whether to buy talian and spanish government bonds to try to carbon markets that's after the german government reportedly admitted that the e.u. rescue fund won't be able to save if they leave the euro zone's third biggest economy if it doesn't need help this week europe and america's debt difficulties triggered panic on the markets that saw the worst plan since two thousand and eight

you know a journalist patrick young told me the new things to change its crisis approach the the early dating let's try and understand both sides of the numbers here the italian government oh one point it trillion euros now that means nothing to anybody but that is bigger than the total government debt of our land for chicle and greece put together before the end of this year it will lead needs to sell bourne's debt which is equivalent to the whole of the greek government bond market in other words all of the greek debt but we've been talking about for weeks and weeks and weeks as being racist italy is huge and it is just too big to manage who in any way be rescued in the way that all their economies have so far been bailed out by the e.u. what the euro zone needs to do is completely rethink the approach that they

currently half which i'd actually a completely new approach some time by september october or maybe november we are in severe danger that the euro zone is going to collapse. coming up in the program as well tonight a new political upheaval grips ukraine as police around the tent city instead of by supporters of detained former promise of timashev the threat of security forces lurking in the background all the time as we report and also the a look at l.s.s. marches commemorating the dead bringing nazi ideas. back to life in modern day stoning. almost sixty people have reportedly been killed across syria as the government continues its military crackdown on protesters over forty of those fatalities are said to be in the city of the twelve homes province this is just the latest of many violent responses to the unrest which began in march early this week government forces stormed the city of hama killing twenty full human

rights activists say that overall more than one and a half thousand people died just before the latest wave of violence the country's foreign minister promised a free and fair general election at the end of the year history lecturer from oxford professor mark coleman says it's there's a lot going on backstage in syria right now. who turned to see if there's a peaceful demonstrations against. this or weapons have also been some of iraq. in the early years or are they are friends are girl parks are. there markets are persons of crime drama so we have also or. intrigue going on behind the rhetoric from both sides. who represents the. real danger is perhaps we could see you know a very large scale civil war in syria. president the recent event of says if syrian leader bashar al assad fails to stop the violence and carry out reforms his fate

could be a grim one. ne unfortunately the situation in syria has taken a dramatic turn we real politicians should follow developments in africa a violent orders to destroy the opposition the syrian president gave no such orders unfortunately a lot of people are dying in syria this is our biggest concern in my private conversation with the president of syria and in the private letters i sent him i discussed the same ideals resilience and need to be carried out but frankly should establish peace with your position establish peace in the country and create a morgan state if he fails to do that i'm going to sound future awaits all of you and at the end of the day we'll have to make a decision we are watching the situation it is changing because there are guidelines out there with them in the field or looking out there is this part of an extensive interview to be timid relative gave to us at r.t. as well as the radio station and georgian t.v. channel pick if you'd like to see the extended version of that interview coming up

next hour here on out. the revolutions over with few in egypt say their lives are any easier these days even considering the former president's finally on trial charged with killing and corruption only barrett denied those charges indeed against him at the opening of his hearing in two accusations of ordering the killing of protesters if he's convicted mubarak could face the death penalty the eighty three year old was in a hospital bed when he appeared alongside his two sons and top aides who were also accused of corruption and mass killing over six months after mubarak was toppled the post-revolutionary chaos makes many egyptians yearn for what went before his marriage for national reports. this quaint cairo is now one of the most famous in the world and many around the globe even those with little knowledge of arabic know its name promptly it means liberation well the revolution of january put this part of the globe on the map but apart from that what else did it reach the people of

egypt. this man has been running his own business for thirty five years it used to bring him enough money to send his son to study to canada and take his large family bloodline see between the economics of a station caused by and rastan political uncertainty hametz into price has been badly affected now he can barely afford to feed his children he says the wind of change may have brought freedom to the jeeps and is drawn to survival strong in its wake. oh. you know i like the revolution when it happened i welcomed it that looked at the time like a light at the end of the tunnel we see it's not getting better we have nothing to eat just don't tell me about the market for hungry people it just doesn't matter. the plight of poverty fuel the revolution your growth has dropped from five to just one percent some thirteen million people live below the breadline unemployment as

he twelve percent. egypt's revolution was regarded as the most successful arab spring chapter eighteen days to end one of the world's longest dictatorships and one months on there is little satisfaction and dictator free egypt is far from the best place to live and one of the people getting ready. and. ready. for the people now. know much better than the day. to day about it and this impact and they're very sad that is our people are indeed tired even those who back the changers. this young man is from the revolution's youth caliche and he tries to remain optimistic and he says sounds much like south conviction that he was like we've been living under mubarak for many many years too many i'd say but it's great what we did but we do need to be more patient and this

is difficult we have a lot of programs greatly to be duty to wait for a little longer. recently need to mistreat sions impishly square shoes at this time he says he's been pushed to the limit and it's straight to space is patience and the battle to save egypt from crumbling through the grief an optional r t kyra. and life really get worse for the egyptian people because they fell prey to a political game says f we mandela has written extensively about egypt's uprising and there has been no revolution in egypt i said so and in our t.v. interview in late january i believe exactly that would be the outcome because this was incited from the outside it was designed to get rid of mubarak who was a thorn in the side of the obama middle east policy and put the same people in there with it with a different face at the top a lot has changed and it's largely unfortunately changed for the worse the economy

plunged since the events of january the tourism is not going to be back on the back anytime soon but even still there was a rather healthy growth curve in the last several years even while no brock was still in power and that that has dramatically changed for the worse this never was about democracy in the first place a lot of youth were brought onto the streets under the illusion that it was and now you have the muslim brotherhood positioned to become the leading political party in the in the elections when they're held. that doesn't bode well at all for the just so i don't think young people have more democracy i think perhaps even less. and in neighboring israel more than a quarter of a million people took the streets on saturday night to vent their anger at the high cost of living in an affordable housing prices the israeli prime minister binyamin netanyahu has responded by bringing in financial team for sponsible for examining the reduction of taxes and improving access to social services the move hasn't stopped the calls for an egyptian style revolution mo with one area tell of live

over the corner and there's obviously a report for our team next protest is a concern that is still not getting the message across. tens of thousands on the streets of israel angry about and protesting for change but is anyone listening when it comes to throw a lot of the foreign media want to see more of an action movie and this hasn't been a very violent it's been very had been both a lot of very positive. well into week three the largest demonstration in israel in over a decade and how did a.b.c. c.b.s. and n.b.c. cover that they didn't a young woman set up a tent while the editors of france twenty four b.b.c. and sky coughed up just a few meager seconds perhaps not even that interesting to. look back in the studios ok there's a protest well what exactly is the protest the social protests for the revolution

it's not the same kind of story that they used and it's not as big and dramatic some of the bigger revolutions happening around the middle east and i mean this isn't surprised by the worldwide lack of media interest he's worked in the israeli press for decades but porting from media both foreign and local there is a box that the international media has put israel in and israeli palestinian conflict also israeli lebanese and syrian conflict and anything that doesn't kind of fit into that. type of of news item which is unfortunate. that just makes hundred reyes and others angry for knowing j.j. she's been camping here furious that she can't make ends meet as a university student it makes little sense that when egypt decided to stand up and say we've had enough and eleven and they decided to stay we've had enough the media was all over there i haven't seen anyone from c.n.n.

or fox news or any other big news channel here and it's really sad we also deserve a chance to be heard out on the streets has been dubbed tough your corner by some of the people here and optimism perhaps the paint suit can bring down the government in the way the neighbors in time his square. bust was the plan was they were willing nonstop here they push the absence of course the hot seat. for of course if you're a regular viewer you'll know we've been keeping a very close eye on developments on israel dot com and our web site and also on the t.v. here now talking about the website the other ways to follow what's going on you can follow our twitter feed to get the news straight from our worldwide correspondents all about the latest news updates and of him school punk also facebook to search for our team news that you can find a lot of top stories right here waiting for you can also join in very important we love to know what you think the discussion about the program. and one quick mention too of a rapidly expanding an extensive channel on you tube has had five hundred million

you throwing people out of there are bad locals we talked to say that we never expected such a sudden attack examples of why not it's very difficult to answer this question because in any case we're always present closes down our suffering and pain so over . here it can't just be any words reasoning can bring back our lives with. her and i think we should realize that such must hate should not be repeated maximum effort to avoid the suffering of children human life is very precious and conoco being irresponsible when it comes to that you can kill people over territory or borders or any other regime you could all governments choose to use. with. the georgian aggression and the tough policy of sex really it would make the first resent and i think we should all live in peace and try to find ways of communicating other. countries have a common answer like travels and pray for those who died three years ago in the

breeze but the conflicts mania are listening to the read him out the elements and they're looking at pictures there were taken if you ring the conflict and are being shown on why screens that are placed across the central square the atmosphere here is a force of very size male wearing black and some women even have a picture of their dad relatives on their chests memorial services will continue in different parts of the says he's a monday the war lasted for five days but hundreds were killed and many injuries and also the face of the said she has changed to with those three years with a new residential areas in new roads and hearts being open still locals say they are trying to restore their lives and memories of what happened here are still alive in their hearts. letter of the from mark c.s.s. units of stoli are gathered to commemorate a battle with the soffit red army this week it's the kind of meeting band across

most of europe as a glorification of naziism but in a stone year it was a rival anti fascist rally that was prevented in the southeast of firth reports now on how pronounced the sentiment is feeding a new ultra right wing movement. well here in the estonian town the cinema in one thousand nine hundred forty four was the scene of fierce fighting between status soldiers yes this is where here by the monuments commemorate save its soldiers that died in that fight less than a mile away and this town's all say the scene of the gathering of veterans day in year one that sort of a widespread criticism. of. a former soldier. but. it's something like a moment you don't think about. people. for
