the u.s. government has officially stopped working for the first time in seventeen years with washington failing to foot the federal bill before the deadline. britain may pull out from the european human rights convention this according to the country's prime minister who pledges to do everything to throw out those posing a security threat to the u.k. . and the settlement talks between the u.s. and iran gain momentum the israeli prime minister rushes to washington to urge the american president not to get too close to tehran.

so just turning noon here in the russian capital it's arts he lives with me rule research welcome to the program and the time has run out for u.s. lawmakers to agree on federal funding ultimately that means the government is now officially shut down the democratic led senate rejected the temporary bills by house republicans that would have delayed obama's health care law as the price to continue funding obama warns the shutdown will have a very real economic impact on real people because oxys liz wahl has been finding out it won't exactly be a disaster. better all air traffic controllers will remain working so will the majority of the department of homeland security everything from the u.s. coast guard to the transportation security agency will keep operating federal prisons will stay open the state department will keep processing passports but there may be delays social security and medicare payments would keep coming food

stamp benefits will be available but many other services under the snap program that help needy mothers and children would be suspended the u.s. postal service would remain in business federal courts are exempt so cored will remain in session at least until mid october but if the government stay shutdown longer than ten days judiciary jobs would be at risk for furlough active duty military is considered essential so men and women in uniform will stay at work but it's likely paychecks will be delayed that's because even though the military is considered critical about half of the department of defense is not on the chopping block nasa most of its employees would be furloughed a few workers would remain on the job to man mission control the food and drug administration would suspend most safety inspections perhaps taking the biggest hit

tourism national parks across the country will close so will museums here in washington d.c. that includes the smithsonian museums and the national zoo the twenty four hour panda cam would go dark alternately it is up to the executive branch to decide who is essential and who is not right now it looks like roughly eight hundred thousand federal workers many of them here in washington temporarily be out of work and the first government shutdown nearly two decades in washington was wall art to. the last minute this. missions on the verge of a shutdown have become fairly common recently in washington let's have a flashback to a couple of the close calls for you in recent years here on see for example it was back in two thousand and eleven the closing of the government was a verted just one hour before the deadline after a rather painful legislative standoff the budget deal that was finally agreed upon

the debt ceiling though another nerve racking issue the summer of twenty eleven sending shock waves across america and much of the rest of the world as well however the sky did not fall it was agreed upon just two days before time was up to talk about the deadlines that's i bring you some facts here on r.t. it has been seventeen years since the last government partially ceased its work but it's actually the eighteenth time in u.s. history it's taking a so-called spending gap back in one nine hundred seventy seven though there was a shutdown on the verge for three times in as many months and gerald cilento you the publisher of the trends journal warns the world perhaps we should be wary of the hype and that of the pantomime it's more theatrical than anything else they keep talking about how it's going to shut down will bring down the economy by one point four percent the g.d.p. how do they know every percentage is ever come up with about anything has always

been wrong so this is more theatrical and it's very important to look at this not only as the shutdown but really it's symptomatic of all of washington. go back to two thousand and eleven for two years yorkers are all we kept hearing about was going over the fiscal cliff going over the fiscal cliff they talked about it so much standard and poor's they downgraded u.s. credit worthiness and then we had sequester and next month we're going to have the debt ceiling again this is more three at tricks it's the it's that the washington drama queens doing what they always do behave in a manner that is unbecoming of professionals and adults so the essential federal services will continue working despite the shutdown and political commentator brian fox he says that washington is actually very well used to playing

games with deadlines. bluff now and i look back and see the same sort of glop or two missing grandstanding every time with different variations and the main variation being who's in power loses to the white house. political number one from the republicans or is a number two from the democrats and look into the variables other than also controls congress so that's the stage. political opportunism. again of the tarot washing d.c. they both have the same. basic platform they're all more for in war they're all on board for endless spending for one for welfare one for social welfare they're all or for surveillance or all or at least a horde for the big things you just about. a crisis deal crisis

where a lot of details are exchanged. and all of these online team has listed ten ways the government shutdown would impact america on the looming default to that of the closure of museums and while you're at odds he thought coffee can check out many of the stories including you can learn how global stock markets have been reacting to the ongoing budget battle in the u.s. congress that's also on our web site for you right now. for the meantime on the program already on the rise the u.k.'s go it alone sentiment is now being fueled by a fresh plan drawing the island nation ever further from the mainland european state it's off to prime minister david cameron to hinted that he wants to withdraw from the european convention on human rights it's long been the subject of irritation for many brits with such measures as insisting that u.k. prisoners should have the right to vote and allowing foreign criminals to remain in

the country indefinitely taking up the story for us. david cameron has said clearly that he wants to know that he can keep the country safe and that means being able to chuck out as he said anybody that doesn't have the right to be in the u.k. and who threatens the u.k. way of life now we don't have to look very far for examples of where the european convention for human rights has been a real form in the side of the british government there's the very famous case of the radical hate preacher abu qatada now he famously avoided extradition from the u.k. for over a decade because his lawyers argued that it was against his human rights to return to his native georgian where he could face torture there and it's not just abu qatada there's all the criminals who have tried to use the european convention for human rights to basically get greater lenient see towards their punishment so david cameron has said explicitly that his goal is to renegotiate britain's relationship

with europe radically and that his idea of the e.u. being an ever closer union as it sets out in the guiding principles of the blog well that's something that doesn't correspond with what britain wants in fact the polls have been showing increasingly that it's not what voters want and in fact the emergence of the u.k. independence party which supports an immediate british exit from the european union well that shows just how strong anti e.u. sentiment in the u.k. is and so david cameron again he's under pressure to stop losing conservative supporters going over to ukip so he's got to try and balance what the what the anti you both within his party and the anti e.u. sentiment in the public what they want and we're seeing the prime minister therefore paying his rhetoric against the european union brussels has said time and time again that westminster conscious cherry pick the policies that it wants and through to the side the ones that it doesn't want the more vividly the e.u.

membership it's not and many. but again we've got the indication from david cameron that if he is reelected as prime minister he's going to try very hard to make it one party correspondent. with an election less than two years away it seems perhaps that cameron is useful lessons from the success of the united kingdom independence party that's because the idea of abandoning the human rights convention is not a new one it was first floated by ukip but john laughlin from the institute of democracy and cooperation in paris yeah actually feels that human rights a become a means of manipulation in the foreign policy of the u k. but it does exploiting the issue of human rights terribly in its relationships with russia it was an occasion a few months ago where a recommendation was made to limit the abuses committed by journalists. and william

hague the foreign secretary said that these measures should not be introduced in britain because then britain would not be able to castigate russia over its own allegedly of freedom in the media so there's no consistency and it shows how human rights have become a critical mechanism for attacking russia and a hypocritical instrument in foreign policy or i still to come for you this hour here on r.t. leaving the drug disaster behind as nato troops prepare to bid farewell to afghanistan we look at how the drug industry and gulf the country during their stay with afghan made heroin spreading across the world. and refreezing but for israel's prime minister benjamin netanyahu is on a visit to america trying to persuade the u.s. president not to get too friendly with iran that's coming our way after the break with the rest of this hour's top headlines.

sigrid laboratory to mccurry was able to build the world's most sophisticated robot which on fortunately doesn't give a darn about anything tunes mission to teach creation why it should care about humans and world this is why you should care only on the dot com. world. technology innovation all the developments from around russia we've got the future covered. to see. her street. and i would think that your.

orders. well news live from moscow it's artsy and the israeli prime minister is currently in the united states on a mission to persuade obama not to trust iran while the meeting with the president netanyahu urged him well not to lift the crippling sanctions against the country perhaps at least not prematurely his visit is spurred by the foreign relations between washington and tehran and the leaders of both nations made their first steps to long awaited talks on a possible nuclear settlement details here with r.t. correspondent marina portnoy at. he will be the last speaker wrapping up the united nations general assembly debate but israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu will

likely not offer the same harmonious tone heard last week from iraq's president who is expected to argue that israel and the world at large should continue to be on guard against tehran's nuclear program even insisting that the international sanctions which have been crippling iran's economy not be eased now just seven days ago iranian leader hassan rouhani delivered his debut address at the u.n. g.a. proclaiming that his government was ready to resolve any and all concerns about his country's nuclear program even promising more transparency and engagement with the united states during a meeting with u.s. president barack obama at the white house on monday israel's prime minister insisted that tehran offer immediate concessions by suspending sensitive nuclear projects or else face even greater international pressure now obama shorting netanyahu that all options including military options are on the table when it

comes to protecting u.s. interests in the middle east or hope is that we can resolve this diplomatically bush as president bush said before i would prefer that we take no options off the table including military options now his visit to the u.n. comes four days after a historic fifteen minute phone call between president obama and rouhani it marked the first time in thirty four years that the nation's leaders had a conversation now last year when the israeli prime minister addressed the u.n. g.a. he presented a cartoon diagram of a bomb claiming that iran would enter the final phase of a weapons production by i made it through twenty thirteen israel has of course bob was off from that assessment since making it but while television has been ringing alarm bells over tehran's. legit nuclear program it is simultaneously even ignoring calls from iran syria and other countries to join the nuclear nonproliferation

treaty that's keeping the middle east free from weapons of mass destruction israel has also not confirmed or denied if it has its own nuclear arsenal reporting from new york. and i was just last week that the leaders of the u.s. and iran spoke directly for the first time in more than three decades however geo political analyst william angle he believes that there are some groups in america that don't want to lose the so-called convenient image of iran as the enemy. i mean iran hasn't made a. hostile war aggressive war on any nation for more than a century and a half and i certainly don't think they're insane enough to try to launch a war on israel which is armed to the teeth with nuclear submarines and other weaponry that would would. really not be to the advantage of iran at all so i think

this is a fabrication by a certain international war lobby in washington perhaps in britain france and certainly around the israeli defense industry and certain circles in israeli intelligence around netanyahu that that would want to have iran as a bogeyman to justify the continued support of washington to israel. and you can always ahead online to see what our web seemingly lining up for you they do it every single one of the latest stories out of the most recent leaks from snowden the n.s.a. has been raking in private data on the web browsing habits of millions of innocent americans all of this without warrants and without justification. and on a lighter note the run up to the sochi two thousand and fourteen winter games now entering the final strait and fall of the flame in the vision page of our website click away you know the score it's called.

first rate. and i think. thanks for joining us here on odds he and the u.s. and its allies are packing their bags ready to head out of afghanistan next year they'll be leaving behind a deadly legacy since the start of the war on terror a twelve years ago the drug industry has simply thrived in this not only for internal use afghan made narcotics are being steadily appearing all over the world and have killed at least a million people this report goes to wattis guy nature can. a war that kills

without weapons silently with harrowing its production has increased forty times in afghanistan since the nato started its war on terror in two thousand and one before that the taliban as brutal as they war heading forced the ban on poppy growing they declared it was against their religion so here in production was very low when the us and allied forces invaded the country they allowed afghans to grow poppies they saw it as a way to win locals hearts and minds the u.s. and allied forces have maintained that opium production provides a livelihood for afghan farmers but it's been destroying their lives the lives of thousands of children around three hundred thousand afghan children are now drug addicts my colleague visited one family in afghanistan three mothers all three addicted to opium heroin and marijuana they blow opium in the face of their children to make them fall asleep so that the grown ups can cater to their own addiction they give marijuana to their very young children they buy drugs before

they buy food here's what their daughter said. it was the move my mother told me let's go to the bazaar i want to buy something for you i said really we went and my mother said to this man do you want to buy these grew he got to give you and give us a hundred f. so we went to buy some dry bread novelty my mom needed money and took my sister we were crying sue notch then she tried to sell me again i begged him not to and she said that if i go to people's houses and beg then to keep me so that's what i do the u.s. and allied forces have been doing little to stop opium production in afghanistan is killing more and more people and not just in the gunston but far beyond its borders of ghana's that produces around ninety percent of the world's opium supply the bulk of the eight hundred and twenty tons of heroin that comes out of afghanistan every year ends up on the streets of russia and europe. the drug money feeds organized

crime all over the globe kossovo drug dealers for example have become a predominant crime group in europe that is because seventy percent of heroin that goes to europe goes through the cost of all channeled in the meantime opium production is growing in afghanistan last year they expended poppy cultivation almost twenty percent compared to the prior year and also what kind of a nation building was that when it's clear with these afghan children it was anything but that in moscow i'm going to check them or to the mideast now to open up the all. the soldiers have opened fire on two palestinians in gaza killing one the shooting began after the pair are said to have approached the border security fence and one of the palestinians died on the spot the other was injured and taken into custody the army claimed they were seen trying to sabotage the fence. and to brazil where the police there have clashed with hundreds of protesting professors

who are gathered in the streets of rio de janeiro the teachers have been demanding improved pay and conditions some held signs proclaiming less football more education they're angry at the money being lavished on the country's hosting of the world cup or social services or neglected other similar sentiment saw a nationwide million strong protests just this past summer. and to haiti's capital where thousands of antigovernment protesters marked twenty years since ex-president john bertrand aristide ousting they demanded the current leader michel martelly resigns amid corruption allegations and is failure to conduct elections as he promised two years ago the demonstration was mostly peaceful though we got reports of some clashes between police and demonstrators. and out of venezuela those were the words of the country's president nicolas my daughter i see expelled three top u.s.

diplomats he accused the trio of plotting to sabotage the country's economy and paying bribes to venezuelan companies at the u.s. embassy denied the allegations and said no official notification of the order he's been received it was just last week that canceled his speech at the u.n. general assembly claiming his life would be in danger in new york fair to say that america and venezuela have a rather long history of difficulties of actually being without passages in each other's capitals and twenty. now neo nazi sentiments been gaining strength across the e.u. the european commission expressing quote great concern over the rise of anti semitic incidents across the bloc. reports from hungary where the far right neo nazi party is currently enjoying a shoot of support. emotions in tackles flew high in what was meant to be a friendly full game and budapest between hungary and israel but in the stands

emotions were even more fierce local fans booed israel's anthem. and chanted fascist leader's name good luck to the dogs. at another football game several months later the leader of hungary's anti-racist movement was attacked by hooligans. heard a bunch of found chanting the nazi slogan. i asked them to stop but they ignored then after the game they attacked me one of them hit me in the face and broke my nose i was at the jewish community here says this was just one link in a long chain of anti-semitic and interethnic tensions in the country i thought he cost and we keep hearing and a semitic slogans and sentiments from inside our parliament and in some of our press which if you remember nazi germany everything also started with rhetoric then came concentration camps and gas chambers and in hungary sometimes this vocal racism turns into real violence like six gypsies who were killed by

a gang of nationalists a few years ago what is especially shocking to hungary's jews is that these things are happening in a country which has a very tragic history in the 1940's hungary had one of the largest jewish communities in the whole of europe but the nazi invasion changed all that and more than half a million people perished in the holocaust and this wall in budapest has all the names of all the identified victims. in may the world jewish congress even decided to hold its annual event in budapest to highlight what they believe is escalating anti-semitism in the central european state the far right your big party third largest in the country brought thousands onto the streets their leader the governor of illinois says it had nothing to do with racism but was draw attention to what they claim to be the aggressive policy of israel mean to the most shops or is really president press once that the only other way to prevail without military

action it was by economic means later he said israel will invest a lot of money into hungary who have been witnessing a huge influx of capital from israel into our country since then and tried to find out what's behind it but the jewish community called us nazis and refused to speak to us that's why we protested the your big party made headlines after make it into hungary spar lymington twenty ten when the country's economy was ailing and judging by opinion polls they're looking to strengthen their position after next year's vote with far right parties now represented in parliament so a few grey norway finland lot via and several more countries across the continent your vehicle will go into the election safe in the knowledge they're not alone in europe. r.t. reporting from hungary and the next on the program here on many in india may be relegated by caste mandates and poverty however new affordable medicines there are saving more lives than can be counted it's good to have you with us here at r.t.

today. we are not talking about language at all but i will only react to situations i have read the reports for. no i will leave that to the state department to comment on your point the monkey say it's ok if. no more weasel words. when you made a direct question prepared for a chase when you run should be ready for a. pretty speech and down to freedom to cost.

me. to me. and. to continue. to get.

i. i think. the majority of india's population does not even have access to primary health care it's. many cancer patients came access to the treatment through an ngo. the cancer patients hate association. case we seem to be supporting the city for the sheets or to keep it in one key pieces of news they could give it in the generic for st peters or vignette if we have to put cheese the beat that and provided to us it would be in the green maybe even back to support sun. to this event which one.
