a half years wondering in liberia before reaching the promised land when bellamy arrived here in one thousand nine hundred sixty nine just under half of those who had left america with him had managed to finish the journey this was to become their home here in the negev desert but successive israeli governments made their lives difficult because ironically while the country is founded on the so-called law of return these were tourney's are not seen as jewish although many feel the issue runs deeper than that when you go into it the worst you have a problem with color just a matter of color. and so these people of color are often dismissed by mainstream israeli society for years their children could not attend the local schools they had no health care they were marked for deportation but despite the obstacles and the ongoing struggle for recognition they take pride in a tradition is we understand the dynamics that was taking place there polygamists strict make sure everyone follows an exercise program and are big supporters of preventative health care we are an integral part of the state of israel this was

deteriorating situation in the region the visit comes after the government highlighted in murders and kidnapping cases reportedly carried out by armed groups in the country the observers touched down in syria ten days ago to monitor the cease fire brokered by international envoy kofi annan they're also preparing for the arrival of about three hundred of their colleagues. for many years government has collapsed following a vote of no confidence just two months after taking office tough. sturdy policies led to the second government fall in three months the country's president has nominated the left wing opposition leader as the new prime minister those subject to parliamentary approval in recent months thousands protested all across romania following two years of harsh. and we get another european government falling due to austerity measures some are questioning if the global implications are even more serious than we all thought our new york resident laurie half honest has been

trying to work it out. are we living through the second great depression and just don't know it this week let's talk about that do you think it's the second great depression we're in. a hard question i hope it's not maybe some places like easily or agrees hopefully not very easily either but i wouldn't say that these only is a great depression do you think it's worse in some places and better than others. it's the worst thing since the great depression probably the second great depression it'll be known in the future as the second depression yes why are we calling that that now i don't know do they call the great depression the great depression well was happening exactly yes i don't want to use the word the big deal word depression because a by the phrase that once depression can hold their money and we've been taught so strictly to spend spend spend spend so we stop spending because depression then
8:23 am
thing and get worse so they don't want that to happen so they'll wait for the history books to call this officially depression and yes if we admit that we're doing things wrong which we should do everybody else you know everything else will take two so they want to be getting out of it as soon as we admit it. we just need to admit there's a problem it's always the first step. whether or not we're living through the second great depression the bottom line is probably no one's going to have the nerve to call it bad until it's over. it's good to have you with us here on r.t. today have you forgotten to call a distant cousin you talk to only once a year to wish them a happy birthday well imagine the plight of one extended. over has been to meet they have more than one hundred birthdays to remember with quite a few even occurring on the same day. they did read that. if you miss trying

hard to prove he knows all of his one hundred and eleven siblings and cousins my heart out of which only fourteen brothers and sisters are his own and to that all of the onsen uncles and that's one family a bit difficult to keep track of. putting names to face is not a problem the most difficult thing really is remembering everyone's birthdays every other day we sometimes even have three or. under a says that parents had only thirteen children but each of his siblings and it up with many kids of their own so the reality of having children for the chaparral family is taken to a completely different level. i don't really get anyone having one child that doesn't really count having two that's guessing the three now that counts as having a child. this is the largest family in the clan has fifteen children.
