government and raise the debt limit without preconditions republicans meanwhile are insisting on deficit reduction talks as a condition for raising the federal debt by october seventeenth members of the party have demanded also that obama's health care be delayed or defunded in return for approving funds to end the government shutdown now president obama warned the public that an economic shutdown the first in history would be dramatically worse than the current reckless government shutdown and while washington's temper tantrum remains on full display economist max wolf says the world is watching with all and growing less impressed with the economic and political experiment otherwise known as the united states i do think we will see the debt ceiling get resolved however with each day where the dysfunction is more obvious more out of control and larger it becomes harder to have faith tomorrow it becomes harder for the markets it becomes harder for americans it becomes harder for the population of the world to have faith in brand america government america and people begin to unfortunate and

unpleasant and unflattering questions about america's future now china which owns a reported one point three trillion dollars of the u.s. government debt recently reminded washington that the clock is ticking and urged us lawmakers not to repeat the mistake of two thousand and eleven that's when the debate over raising the u.s. debt ceiling led to america's credit rating being downgraded and japan's finance minister also recently said a failure by the u.s. to quickly resolve its political deadlock over government finances could damage the global economy in the meantime the u.s. government shutdown has reportedly delayed trade talks between washington and brussels it has also forced president obama to skip asia pacific economic cooperation meeting this week ceding valuable ground to china reporting from new york r.t. america's budget crisis a sending shock waves across the globe was manic calling. irrational and even

surreal the federal hold has no end in sight with both democrats and republicans refusing to back down a let's see how works in other democracies when lawmakers can't agree on a budget strictly and had a shutdown of ones in nineteen seventy five after all the budgetary squabbles the queen of england got to fire everybody they had new elections and no problems on that ever since and when congress failed to pass a budget in brazil about seven years ago it was no big deal at all with just some limits to salaries and current expenses in israel if they don't get a budget by the thirty first of december deadline they automatically revert to the one from the previous year however it appears in the us a mocker see there is no such mechanism to resolve the deadlock we're now on american intellectual noam chomsky explains how it evolved. or woman democracy. there have been

significant economic changes in the past generation with the economy struck no time to do it but one of the effects of these changes space sickly the neo liberal programs that are having the same kind of this if they were as a. direct wealth to a very narrow sectors the increasing inequality it has an immediate effect on politics and parliamentary democracy as power begets more concentrated political conflict as well so by now elections are almost bought it's simply talk of democracy both political parties have drifted to the right where he was just one part of the state the business party speaks to some of it while hundreds of thousands of people are on unpaid leave due to the government shutdown

but officials have made an exception for some federal workers learn more in abby martin is breaking the set later today but here's a sneak peek for you. eight hundred thousand federal employees have been lingering without a national parks monuments in the store graveyards all closed what do you handfuls drum circles ordered and kindergartners plainly both looking for there is one group of federal employees deemed is so vital to this country that they have been ordered back to work now you probably think i'm talking about food and safety inspectors considering how ninety one percent of imported seafood isn't being checked and the fact that three miners have already died since the shutdown because of lack of oversight on the job but no i'm talking about the industry that this government favors the most defense secretary of defense chuck hagel recently ordered most of its three hundred fifty thousand civilian defense contractors back to work citing that they are so critical to protecting national security they have got to keep the

military industrial complex move and keep them happy after all war is what's funny in this economy and i write. the book. all our online team is closely following developments in the u.s. budget crisis so had to r.t. dot com for our regular updates. right see. first rate. and i think that your. on our reporters. in. the.

a surprising alliance is forming in the middle east between israel and saudi arabia as the reports say the countries aren't goshi adding a union against iran despite sharing common rivals there is no official diplomatic relations between the states and the two clash when it comes to saudi arabia supportive of the palestinians supposedly or has the details. there's an unexpected union forming right now in the region between israel and saudi arabia unexpected because on the one hand while the two shape common rivals in egypt and syria saudi arabia particularly recently has been pouring millions of dollars of aid into palestinian projects both in gaza and in the west bank the potential impact of such an unlikely union cannot be overestimated israel brings to the party excellent propaganda skills saudi arabia on the other hand is able to tap into vast reservoir of petro dollars israel too has unparalleled influence over american foreign policy

and the result of these two countries working together is shaping international responses no doubt about it rumors reports about. corporation secret meetings started following the second lebanon war two thousand and six. when it became clear that iran is to become a major player here in our immediate region but also. in the gulf but this cooperation between israel and saudi arabia is problematic because saudi arabia gives so much support to the palestinians just recently it gave some ten million dollars to enrich the united nations relief and works agency for palestinian refugees this is in addition to an extra two hundred million dollars that was donated to palestinian infrastructure projects one such project is in russia in gaza where homes are being rebuilt for palestinians whose lives were destroyed

during the last israeli war the result is that on the one hand you can see them. cooperate prizzi's and when it comes to iran on the other hand they had close contacts with hamas on the one hand they initiated there are a peace initiative. on dohar in the world to support him directly and. this is the ambiguity you can find in the. saudi policy many are asking the question whether israel isn't shooting itself in the foot by forming an alliance with a country that supports its enemies. east jerusalem a closer look now at what brings israel and saudi arabia together at will syria is a major issue as both countries agree that the government should go and the other reason for cooperation in their mutual animosity towards iran the two states also share support or the military backed government in egypt investigative journalist

robert perry says this alliance could prove to be problematic for us and once in the region. it had this building up of mutual interest between these two very significant powers in the middle east so it raises the question of whether this very significant although unlikely or a sort of fairly unusual odd couple relationship between saudi arabia and israel might present might create a new superpower in the in the middle east if saudi arabia and israel could figure out a way to work together you would have you could have israel providing it's very tremendous sophisticated political operations involving both the israel lobby back in the united states it's like supposed to get a propaganda techniques with what the saudis have which is vast amounts of money united states would might find this problematic in that while while both saudi

arabia and israel are american allies if the two of them were to collaborate more formally on some of these issues like syria for instance or ran or egypt that could put the united states in a position of not being able to work its will with quite the freedom that it's had in the past. a watchtower watch out for the birds because they are watching you do drone camouflage as you go hits the market boasting capability to fly on hundred meters above the target without detection examine it in just a few minutes. and london is planning another kind of double decker this time six food under as british burial space becomes scarce authorities have come up with the idea to reuse plots to make some multi-layer the full story is just have.

a response moscow says such an invasive an increase here and responses on acceptable and that the dutch authorities violated not just the diplomats rights but simply human rights because according to the russian foreign ministry the dutch police broke into the apartment counselor of the russian embassy in the hague they hit him with a baton they ignored his diplomatic status and took him to the police station where they held him for hours without explaining anything later admitted but i'd seen was released in midst of what i'd seen says they broke into his apartment on the pretext that the neighbors call the police because of some reports of abuse which he says are absolutely not true and that's just the words have not said anything about this and like i said we're still waiting to hear that that explanation of the incident but we do have to we action of the russian president on the incident take a listen. it's a good you should or should you consider this is a flagrant violation of the vienna convention we are we clarification an apology

and punishment of those responsible for our reaction depends on how the dutch side will behave. the relations between russia and the netherlands have been tense lately the netherlands are taking legal action against war with the greenpeace ship the arctic sunrise which sailed under the dutch flag russia has blasted the netherlands for having systematically nord russia's request to make the arctic sunrise stop illegal look to pretty near the work for the oil platform in the arctic now according to russia it's been going on since august of last year russia says all its warnings were ignored by the dutch and three weeks ago we know what happened we peace activists tried to climb aboard the working world and they were detained together with everyone onboard the arctic sunrise the russian foreign ministry says the day before the incident on september eighteenth greenpeace

activists made their first attempt to climb aboard. platform but they were prevented from doing it and the same day moscow summoned the bastard to issue yet another wording with regard to the arctic sunrise effective it is russia says that warning was ignored yet again the activists and those who were on board the green plants are now facing piracy charges because russia argues technically it was an attempt to seize the plant for many russian foreign policy experts believe that the incident with the russian diplomat in the hague could be related to the tension between the two countries with regard to the greenpeace activists. the dismantling of chemical weapons is not enough to put an end to the bloodshed in syria that's according to russia's foreign minister sergei lavrov he says peace is impossible while extremists continue fighting in the country he spoke exclusively to our web page for that full interview. and also online for you an opposition to

a recount almost hall said burial space in their areas would run out in the next twenty years and a quarter said they only had ten years left and it's no surprise them confined to london cemeteries like this one and several rural councils already say they're full meaning people will have to go elsewhere for that final resting place and all that despite the fact that already seventy four percent of people. symmetries in the sustainable when the food local authority has some difficult decisions to mike does it build another symmetry. capital cost and then of course it's gone another symmetry to mine tying increased my costs so there's a pressure to increase fees and be a solution would be to open more cemeteries but the limited amount of space means that's just a holding tactic you could force people to be cremated also not workable with any

leaves a very emotive option reusing graves by digging up any remains and then taking deeper to make space for more burials and the disturbance of human remains without lawful authority at the moment is an offense in the ministry of justice won't give a loss and it's to create a new barrier spice although they'll give a lawson's to clear a churchyard perhaps build a supermarket or a car park which seems a little bit old. at the moment reusing grace is only allowed in london cemeteries and although it's an issue that affects literally everyone. it's not exactly a vote when i say typically governments just avoids talking about it but experts say those in power must come up with a workable plan on burials rather than just burying their own heads in the sand. i'll be back was the news about thirty minutes time coming up parties james brown takes part in military training with russia's toughest army regiment that's in just
