a u.s. default is looming that's the warning from president obama who scolded republicans for and demanding the credibility of the this is america's government shutdown shows no signs of ending. seventeen greenpeace activists are charged with piracy in russia after trying to storm an oil rig and the arctic talks to a former leader told the environmental group feels that protest oversteps they are . under group of gunmen are trying to the russian embassy in tripoli outputting file in the building and attempting to force their way and.

you so russia and around the while this is all see with me. thanks for joining us. barack obama has warned america may be moving towards a default they say as the u.s. government shutdown drags on was little make is failing to agree on the budget the president slammed the republicans for undermining the full faith and credit of the u.s. he said the country's in real trouble when one function is willing to default on the government's obligations and he won't wall street that it should be getting seriously worried this time congress also has a much bigger issue than the federal budget still ahead to resolve with washington running out of cash and therefore needing to bump up the debt ceiling meanwhile experts say at least three hundred million dollars are going down the train every day of the federal seizure and the losses are expected to accelerate with the shutdown depressing businesses and consumers and rocky anderson

a presidential candidate for the justice possibilities the congress and i'm not capable of fixing the problem. we do not have a functioning democracy we have a bunch of yahoos. congress who are acting only for their own self-interest to please a very narrow so out of people to keep them in office on the motion who people continue to buy their way and office and it's all contrary of course to the interests of americans throughout the country what we need is a mass movement in this country we we can't depend on our elected officials to do the right thing any more we know that their bought and paid for by the moneyed interests we know the role of corrupting money in our political system we the people regardless of political affiliation need to join together and draw our line and make it clear we will never ever support these people again. those

feeling the biggest pinch from the shutdown to the streets of washington petro workers of so-called known essential services protests against the leave of absence eight hundred thousand employees are affected by the federal home and he has a lot of recess excuse me max kinds of a host of. the kinds of report had to say on the big bunch of crises. 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 or maybe five billion a month two 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 closed 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 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 well 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 can print it. meanwhile the n.s.a. and the u.s. military are complaining the shutdown isn't demining that what with intelligence chief cloning front load employees every critic and dreamland for foreign spines

learn more about this when i see how. much more government must now shut down until congress funds it again. three more greenpeace activists have been formally charged with piracy by a russian quote fourteen members of the group were hunted the same challenges a day early part of arrested after attempting to scale and neuer rake in the oxic last month in protest over offshore drilling in the region greenpeace and says i'm not trans we're not violent however if the russians say they posed a serious threat to the security of the oil platform they could now face up to fifteen years in prison for that actions and as my colleague bill don't trick more recent form of greenpeace and he believes that nixon is 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 told 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 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 designed 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 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 that concerns justified when it comes to the elop take 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 are alive they're not alive and the world might actually be a better place if there wasn't so much ice and it's not exactly unusual for greenpeace to be grabbing the global headlines about it stunts and going off explain three main points of contention over that time takes. this story has all the elements to be able to storm into international headlines like the arctic greenpeace russia and armed men in masks but besides the action and the drama it's also full of controversy for instance the same exact oil rig was already targeted

by another group of greenpeace activists in august two thousand and twelve back then they did manage to climb onto it and didn't get arrested but later greenpeace itself criticized russia for failing to provide the proper security saying the route could become a potential target for terrorists second gas bombs platform is currently not in operation unlike those used by other energy companies working in the arctic like norwegian stat oil and also this particular all rig is static which means it's 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 recent the question why is all the attention focused on this particular one. and coming up later in the program cash flow compliments israel offers its students a funny job of them to come again this as part of the so-called digital diplomacy program the full story is just ahead.

in which the us some basset was killed and political activist john rees believes the ongoing instability in the country is a direct consequence of the nato led intervention of twenty and that. the truth of the matter is that 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 nato air bombardment you aren't necessarily going to have the popular legitimacy that is necessary to be able to found a stable them on the just ministration and that's the that is no the legacy which the west into the intervention is because he used the libyan people leave because the state which doesn't have a popular legitimacy which is challenged on all sides by militias which is breaking apart which is the market rather which many of the jails are actually not by effective state control at all. and you can add on line for the best stories from

and to some it isn't on the web but ironically the father of the digital diplomacy program has come under fire for posting racial comments the very thing he was meant to be called boxing policy or takes up a 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 to the legitimize our right to defend ourselves and even our rights relieve. in our historical and so 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 or a few people there 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 and liking or hash tag there was a p.r. blunder the guy tapped to head the social media advocacy has a way to be 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
