with wall street warning of looming default and president obama scolding republicans for undermining the credit of the u.s. america's government is still showing no signs of ending. fourteen greenpeace activists charged with piracy in russia after trying to storm an oil rig in the arctic sixteen other members of the group still waiting to see if they face the same. and a group of gunmen attacked the russian embassy in tripoli opening fire on the building and attempting to force their way in.

good morning to you from all of us here at moscow it's now just after eight am in the russian capital. with this hour's top world headlines well fears are mounting that america is rapidly moving towards a default this is the u.s. government shutdown drags on with lawmakers still failing to agree on the budget but they have much bigger issues ahead to resolve with washington running out of cash and about a bump up the debt ceiling now experts say at least three hundred million dollars are going down the drain every day of the federal hold and the losses are expected to accelerate as the shutdowns depressing businesses and consumers and wall street chiefs are urging both the president and congress to raise the borrowing limit saying the u.s. is on the verge of its first default in history but lawmakers have still made no progress in ending their squabbles over health care reform which republicans want to be delayed obama then slammed them for undermining quote the full faith in the

credit of america after a ninety minute talks with the representatives and the senate leaders. from the u.s. national libertarian party says that legislators just don't get what people need. american people very much want the federal government to cut its reckless overspending and this is where they're not listening to the american people people want less government lower taxes lower government spending and this will create private sector jobs which is probably the number one issue here to americans and american voters in particular if they're listening really listening they are going to slow down the government more and cut spending more and stop these tricks where they close the tourist destinations and other things that they are making tremendous theater out of rather than getting to the real waste in government that is marbled throughout government spending they can certainly cut military spending they can cut entitlements programs but rather than starting with the people who are

most in need and now dependent on government there's many many areas they can cut that don't affect poor folks or people in need at all for starters government pensions and government perks which are enormous and typically double what people get in the private sector. now those feeling the biggest pinch from the shutdown took to the streets in washington federal workers over so-called nonessential services protested against the leave of absence and more than eight hundred thousand employees are affected as the federal hold continues and shows no signs of ending here's what a rather ruthless max keiser the host of oxys financial program the kaiser report to say to my colleague bill daughter on the budget crisis. america is run by what i call of financial as you hottest who are basically suicide bankers and america from the outside of course looks like they're trying to commit financial suicide to outcomes either anyway the federal reserve bank will increase our monthly buyback

of bonds from eighty five billion a month to one hundred twenty or one hundred thirty billion dollars a month or america defaults on its sovereign debt like it did in one nine hundred seventy one when they close the gold window those are the two outcomes so what we see here is jockeying between these two powerful sources in washington congress in the senate by the way they all own stocks they were insider trading is legal they're all trading on this information they're on their little phones and they're trading stocks up and down and making money at the expense of the american people because they are financial terrorists as well america is the most watched soap opera in the world right now it's a huge hedge fund you've got c n.b.c. covering it like some episode from breaking bad the great way the plot line says how this episode got away and then this particular episode with the federal government shutdown is that going to be resolved soon couldn't drag on for the three weeks what we've seen in the past just briefly. a lot of people will get hurt but the people in washington consider the american public to be expendable they don't need the american public they don't need their taxes they don't need them

working because when they need money they just print it it's like saudi arabia and america or saudi arabia when they need money they just pump more oil they don't need the population that's why they live in destitute that's why there's so much poverty in saudi arabia same thing in america there's a huge amount of poverty because that top princes class in america when they need some cash they just get ben bernanke you to print it. what your government must now shut down until congress funds or you. are as good have you with us or a nazi today fourteen greenpeace activists have been formally charged with piracy by a russian court they are part of a group of thirty arrested after attempting to scale an all oil rig in the arctic last month all in protest over offshore drilling in the region now greenpeace insists their actions were not violent however authorities say they posed a serious threat to the security of the oil platform and they could now face up to fifteen years in prison for their actions my colleague bill dog spoke to patrick

moore who's a former greenpeace leader and environmental expert he believes the activists who should have found a better way to express that message. you can't expect to have people allow you to continue to storm their oil rigs oil rigs are a very serious operation with really big safety issues and you start scaling the rig and then people have to come and try to get you off it puts them in danger and so i can certainly understand why they were apprehended and finally towed away from the site the other thing that's quite ironic is greenpeace is using a diesel powered ship to. occupy a loyal rig and so they use they needed oil to get there if they had sailed there or rode there in a boat maybe it would make more sense i do tend to agree with president. putin that they are not pirates it's that it's pretty obvious i think their intentions were not to loot the rig or anything like that but they're still putting people in

danger and it is a serious situation but let's just quickly talk about the oil rig itself it is static as opposed to floating offshore platform is it true to say that this is actually a much safer way of extracting oil for the environment it's my understanding that this is the first oil platform that is done zines specifically to withstand ice the intention is to make it a safer way of extracting oil but you know when it comes to oil this is this this is the problem with the greenpeace situation their tactics i know they're not trying to hurt anybody but their policy is ridiculous they live in this dream world we're now they are against fossil fuels they're against hydroelectric energy they are against nuclear energy which between the three of them supply about ninety eight percent of the world's energy and they seem to think that civilization can operate on wind and solar alone these technologies disappear for five days at

a time when there's no wind and no sun how do you run factories and schools and hospitals and businesses and homes with this kind of energy so i think it's their policy that should be rejected but all their concerns justified when it comes to the arctic it is a pristine the last remaining wilderness it is in danger is it and also of suffering environmentally by this exploitation the arctic environment is no more fragile than the tropical environment or the temperate environment or the environment of england or the environment of anywhere else in the world it's just you know mostly ice as most people know which is not alive they talk about how the glaciers are dying and all of this is if these things were alive they're not alive and the world might actually be a better place if there wasn't so much ice or now all of these are you going to press going to far joins us live to bring us the latest. on this story here you go to certainly the members of greenpeace they are quite good at grabbing the headlines in the spotlight on pay absolutely this story definitely has all the

elements to be able to storm into international headlines like the arctic russia all armed men in masks and sort of besides the action and the drama it's also full of controversy for instance the same exact oil rig was all read targeted by another group of greenpeace activists in august two thousand and twelve back then they didn't manage to climb onto it and didn't get arrested but later greenpeace itself criticized russia for failing to provide the proper security saying that will rig could become a potential target for terrorists now a second gas bronze platform is clearly not in operation unlike those used by other energy companies working in the arctic like norwegian oil also this particular. static which means standing on the bottom of the sea this technology is widely considered to be much safer than that used in floating offshore platforms so many are raising the question why is all this attention focused on this particular one

now finally in two thousand and six the same ship which was involved in the latest incident in the arctic sunrise tried running a japanese fishing boat in protest against whaling the same your police detain sixteen greenpeace activists in brazil after the invaded and amazon river port owned by a us marine producer sit ins when we activists block entrances to divert and governmental buildings across the world are also part of their tactic were breaching the premises of the nuclear facility so frankly greenpeace is not new to controversial project all right are you going to is going to thank you. or is what we are closely following the story will bring bringing us the latest on it throughout the day here on r.t. for the meantime though just head to our web site for reaction from greenpeace got all the latest details for you what i see dot com. why still to come here on the program on naughty cash for complements. students.

agents as part of a so-called digital diplomacy program full story just ahead for you here on alt. the interview.

there's a nine story building i noticed that standing on its roof was a man in civilian clothes holding a sniper rifle. to say something that offends so they use blank or wooden shells the building was but. to restore it. resulted for yeltsin in the referendum his deputies of the supreme soviet didn't appeal to us not all we have to support yeltsin otherwise it would

have been civil war. it's a busy day for news here. in moscow a group of militants have tried to force their way into the russian embassy in libya's capital tripoli i mean attackers opened fire on the diplomatic building and tore down the. the flag this food is coming to you right now is from the scene exclusively provided by artie's video agency ruptly a parked car will start a blaze by the men who were reportedly armed with grenades and rocket launchers russian officials say no one was injured among the staff and the situation is now under control the motive for the attack still unknown at the raid on the russian

embassy comes a year after four people died in an assault on the american consulate in benghazi in which the ambassador was killed a political activist john reese he believes the ongoing instability in the country is a direct consequence of the nato led intervention back in twenty or. the truth of the matter is that the western intervention in libya destroyed any process or organic transfer of power from the gadhafi regime to the to the opposition if you come to power. under the ag sort of nato air bombardment you aren't necessarily going to have the popular legitimacy that is necessary to be able to found a stable never mind a just ministration and that's the and that is now the legacy which the west intervene intervention is because he used the libyan people they bequeath it to the state which doesn't have popular legitimacy which is challenged all on all sides by

militias which is breaking apart which is an arm supermarket and in which many of the jails are actually not run by effective state control at all. cash strapped israelis students have found a new way to relieve their financial plight they can get easy money by simply posting positive tweets and clicking the like button in all the right places it's after authorities came up with the idea of offering youngsters salaries and even scholarships for the protection of the government's interests and find anti semitism on the web but ironically the father of the digital diplomacy program has come under fire for posting racist comments that the very thing he was meant to be preventing pulis lia she takes up this story. public opinion against israel is at an all time low the recent wars with gaza and the seemingly never ending occupation have left the country waging a p.r. war this is a very massive wave of these false propaganda and attempts to do the legitimize

our right to defend ourselves and even our rights relieved. you know as sort of the we have to do everything to tell the truth for sixty five years israeli diplomats have struggled in their posts in the modern world they need all the help they can gate into the undergrads the idea is to pay students to tweet pro israeli propaganda leadoff of it has been doing it for a while but as a volunteer it's another way to a student to give back to society even in israel you have a bunch of people a few people their foreign affairs minister office. who do social media for their living so it's ok for people to getting salary on this kind of work the new student sales force will share a p.r. commission part of nearly a million dollars and in universities across the country they'll eventually even receive scholarships for waging israel's digital diplomacy but before these new

recruits could even start tweeting or hash tag ing it was a p.r. blunder the guy tapped to head the social media advocacy has a way to been put to pasture take a look at his facebook page daniel seaman is known for being abrasive to the foreign media but that's not all seamen called palestinian stupid and an expletive laden rant critics pounced taking the opportunity to question the basic ethics of the new approach. so you're basically turning a human being into human commercial we are going on as a second job philosophy student who says he won't be signing up he's angry with his government trying to tell him what to think stead of trying to make. a good democracy for instance giving out scholarships for people that will try to make this place a better place gives out scholarships for people to say that it's a good place i mean if this was such

a good place then these people would tell it anyways those in opposition say they will be some major white washing and using students to tweet israeli propaganda is part of that i think the prime minister's office is trying to cover up the human rights violations that are happening by paying young folks to be involved i think you'd be better off investing the funds. in education infrastructure and community development that he hasn't done in decades israelis are no stranger to war but at the online front line it's an enviable battle to turn public perception of israel from zero to site christ policy r t tel aviv you can always ahead on line for the best stories from our web seem including for this hour opposition unrest as ukraine's riot police lashed out at thousands of activists trying to take over the city council building in kiev all the graphic detail just log on to the in vision section at r.t.

security council resolution passed last week it has a rather ambitious deadline to scrap syria's capacity to produce chemical weapons by the first of november later in artie's worlds apart program on a boy who discusses the toxic details with the un high representative for disarmament of us was a brief look there were so many victims who were still alive that there was really no need to to exuma bodies and basically take tissue from them because there were so many victims who were alive but we had also a complete case history meaning that the victims were able to tell how they were affected what they felt what the symptoms were which is much more powerful than taking tissue from from me from the body usually believed to be. you know pretty persuasive evidence where you're told that all the bodies have already been buried at that point of time that we did not ask for bodies to be assumed that they had been. that they had been buried simply because that's a muslim tradition to bury people very quickly and are just

a quick preview there of our exclusive interview with the u.n. high representative for disarmament affairs and you can watch the full version in the next hour and worlds apart. well let's get into the aussie world update now starting with iraq where at least nine hundred people have been killed in a way. at the crew of an army helicopter died when it was shot down over the desert while a car bombing near a government building cook left two dead and fifteen injured in the spike of violence across the country this year brings the death toll to more than fifty seven hundred. riot police in mexico city scuffled with an angry crowd of protesters who describe themselves as. at the mosque wearing rioters through fire bombs and rocks at police twenty officers injured twenty other people detained the

clashes broke out during a demonstration commemorating the forty fifth anniversary of a student massacre and it was claimed anything from a dozen to several hundred students were killed by government forces in the city square head of the summer olympic games an order of those that died yesterday teachers and students have been blocking one of the main roads into the city. in egypt clashes between the backers of ousted president mohamed morsi and those against have turned deadly after a high school student was killed in a fight in the city of suez on the same day a muslim brotherhood supporters held a rally in cairo's tahrir square for the first time in over two months of the brotherhood accuses the army of escalating a crackdown on their activities or the military says it wants to hand back power to a new government and the group was recently banned by the courts following a military coup that overthrew the country's is the most. now while the

e.u. is struggling to cope with its money troubles its powerhouse germany seems to be doing pretty well it's looking to boost its international economic ties by reaching out to a promising emerging markets like china and with beijing eyeing to grant special access to its markets which are denied to other states and the rest of europe's in danger of being left behind all of the reports. when china wants to speak to the e.u. berlin is the first number beijing calls not brussels germany has the most pivotal role right now to kind of defining and shaping how europe will interact with china coming years at the moment that role is more lone trailblazer than economic shepard's close to fifty percent of e.u. exports to china come from germany trade between the two was worth almost one hundred forty five billion euros last year leading to talk of a special relationship i mean it's very difficult for any country to ignore china

at this point it's in europe's interest to make sure that no one gets left behind but some of germany's easy partners have been left behind as they're being battered by billion backed cuts austerity is never a solution to a crisis like this it just made the matters worse and in that context. the german export industry started targeting china as it was a growing market it's not all plain sailing between germany and china questions have been raised over which side berlin is on in a trade dispute over low cost chinese solar panels flooding the european markets and concerns germany is ignoring china's human rights issues in favor of the sting trade jimmy's car giants have grasped the trade with china with both hands into sports car manufacturer a porsche it's regarded as one of the top three targets for the last seven years we have a ten fold in increase in cars sold in china and right now we have forty extension

from fifty six horses centers to about one hundred times over the next three years we are very happy to have a very broad relationship and customer base in china not only for us i think it's true for all german car industry which is the leverage for having also local production and for the best producers the car industry is the driving force behind the german economy twenty eleven figures show those were. over three hundred and fifty billion euro worldwide twenty percent of total german output a good piece of that coming from trade with china and it's not just that bae is in beijing a queuing up the german luxury items like this chinese companies are already establishing more than just a foothold inside european markets. we already sell a lot of parts to europe there is no reason why we shouldn't see more and more chinese made vehicles on the roads of france in germany. despite the lack of buying power of some of the member states germany remains firmly mowery to the e.u.

however the continues to send more than just blue tissues glances towards its trading partner in the east as part of their special relationship feature all of a germany. door locked and loaded my skies are such a blast the u.s. financial system because report it's just around the corner. just like. everybody else did you know the price is the only industry specifically mention in the constitution and. that's because a free and open press is critical to our democracy albus. in
