the. ground many obstacles over to the seasons hotel. return. this week so the top story fever pitch attention is at the u.n. general assembly the spin is radian president riles the u.s. to the sets of rhetoric once again. balls the winding down for the us is beneath you all to. competition they reach a point in countries to seek a compromise and the option capital. to go far i fear is that not some of them is almost the only useful during a string of successes on t. integration political policies here.

a very warm welcome to you this is our see live from moscow with me. this week global issues discussed at the un general assembly have been overshadowed by a provocative speech by the iranian president. lauren mr explains why some delegates was so offended they stood out of town. with the fanfare on the streets of new york this week. no one could miss the spectacle of more than one hundred ninety world leaders descending upon the united nations for the annual general assembly. but stealing the spotlight on the world stage a face off between iranian president mahmoud ahmadinejad and u.s. president barack obama obama defended u.n. sanctions the u.s. has spearheaded over iran's nuclear program though he called for dialogue on the

door remains open to diplomacy should iran choose to walk through the dialogue awkward in a job responded with drove the u.s. and european union delegations out of the assembly hall all together he claimed nine eleven was an inside job by america as a middle voice of us with the most people believe that some segments within the u.s. government has traded the attack to reverse the decline in the us economy and its grip in the middle east in order to save the zionist regime. may have lost some of his audience inside the halls but he continued the conversation in public when you're smiling you believe or started that the government had a head about eleven and what seemed like interviews with almost every network and you had a captive audience on the street all of it to have going activist to protest against his visit almost daily how do. you pomp and circumstance aside offered

in a job said he may return to the negotiating table if the security council plays nice . iran has always be ready for a dialing based on respect and justice and the international community warned of where an escalation in the conflict could lead and the forces used against iran i believe this would be the shortest way to the radicals in their own. truly and deciding that now that we will strike we must have nuclear weapons and talk of m d g's or millennium development goals of fighting hunger and poverty amidst a global recession countries were more measured in making pledges for too long we've measured our efforts by the dollars we spent on the food and medicines that we delivered. the conference concluded with deep concern that the u.n. is falling far short of conquering problems such as world poverty and malnutrition it appeared no country yesterday we did see morris they're. still short of

conquering their hunger with the finest cuisine new york has to offer but this time of the year you have the fresh french fry truffles that will do all make up out of there were black truffle sauce and i will show you the truffle staple site and after a week of traffic truffles and talk the price is already packing up despite debates continuing next week as global problems persist the u.n.g.a. remains a convenient place for world leaders to share their opinions and ideas its people hope that they care even if nothing changes after this week as to whether any of the rhetoric becomes reality or that we're just going to have to wait and see next year for a lister artes. and coming your way next hour. should the host nation of the u.n. general assembly take a close look at domestic abuses before the rest of whoa. three miles from barack obama's lecture on moral principles one woman languishing in this federal

jail behind me stripped many say of all her dignity allegedly at the hands of u.s. officials. as nations gathered in new york for the u.n. general assembly russia announced its ban on the supply of advanced sound. systems to iran the russian foreign minister is that it falls on the recent u.n. sanctions against iran and stressed the decision is not. of course there is. russia simply documented in the presidential decree what is required from russia and all the other states in relation to iran after the adoption of the un security council's new resolution russia refused to deliver the as three hundred surface to air missile systems to iran in support of this resolution and russia remains opposed to any unilateral sanctions against iran relations adopted by the un security council are binding but they need to be turned into national laws because

they are not direct application documents within countries legislation austria's right wing freedom party is happening in anti muslim computer take a well help it when votes in sunday's provincial election with a successful us will be yet another success for europe's far right out of general elections that are out there take a look at what's feared to be the rise of islamophobia in europe. was the by by most game is a simple as its message they came and shoot down as many of you must as you can as they rise relentlessly above austria's alpine skyline if you're not quick enough the country is islam wised up that is something i hope we are defending our rights our traditions our culture we don't want to be dissolved into islam nor do we want there to be parallel islamic societies in our country you're going to be released

by the rightwing freedom party as part of its bid for election and the regional government in styria austria second largest province the game has hit the wrong nerve within twenty four hours that received more than two hundred thousand web hits within a week it was banned the computer game may have been just a small part of a political campaign but the reaction has been nothing but a firestorm of outrage there around five hundred thousand muslims in austria together with the greens their community leaders sued the freedom party emotions in the game and islam is a reality then if we want to build mosques we will build them anyway if i have a vision of the future where every town or city in austria has a mosque with a minaret that people can see from the outside can that in which they just dish or authorities up held the complaint and ruled it again went beyond the perceptible discussion forcing the freedom party to take it down from its website it's in that all the numbers who played the game show that islam is

a very important issue again thanks to us it was talked about in the first place scene but the judicial system is meddling in politics and stopping a free discussion in place of many say that ban has had the reverse effect there's not even a single minute in styria and less than two percent of the population of muslim. the freedom party failed to get a single seat a below last election now it's expected to triple its vote and put a dent in the ruling coalition of two centrist party to have a little here change endangered whole system because i have to feeling it just so already against these two factors. the resistance of the true people which is kind of been suppressed by the status quo if the freedom party performs well it will follow the footsteps of recent successes by far right parties in sweden belgium and the netherlands. it appears that no longer can the centrist parties ignore the voices of those alone by. or they risk being penalized at the

ballot box. party gratz steria. or professor from the department of political science at the central european university path says the far right party immigration is down but also. it's a kind of fashion i mean one success of such a path to promote success is. this and for instance of a successful say. dutch right between party impact. of course it is a negative impact because those parties are not only against migration or against especially islamic migration they are also empty european all these parties. deepening of european integration and this is a challenge to european consensus consensus that europe is an unfinished business

and a european union should go forward towards a deeper federation of european states. and coming up later this hour last calls for venezuela because he's voting in a highly contested national election which has been billed as a battle of the rich versus the poor. this week the on temperatures of the arctic dominated talks at an international forum in moscow the objective was to ensure the competition for the billions of tons of oil and gas wouldn't overheat. if you stand alone you can survive in the arctic that's how russian premier have led him or putin explained that no country by itself can deal with the enormous challenges i had at the north pole he promised that what average treasures lie hidden under the creek layer of ice will be no

fighting over the top of the world the arctic needs secure sustainable management and anybody who has to stop with that we often hear some futuristic forecasts predicting a battle for the arctic are responsible analysis shows the majority of the frightening scenarios on the future of the arctic have no grounds whatsoever their goal is to provoke clashes among the arctic states and so that those who make the predictions can fish for something in the murky waters but i am absolutely sure that all the existing problems including the ones over the continental shelf can be resolved in a manner of partnership and according to the law the five know the neighbors who fish in these dark cold waters are russia canada the us norway and denmark at stake now are massive amounts of untapped oil and gas estimated to be over twenty percent of what the planet has to offer but many fear that a territorial crisis over the arctic which for millenia has been a vast quiet block of ice could suddenly start to boil and for the people who call

this tranquil place home an invasion of industrialization is on the horizon for many years people thought the arctic was this frozen wasteland. no one lives here no one survives here it's a place for polar bears enablers and the reality is that the arctic is a vibrant place with rich natural resources rich human resources where people live and survive daily and who love it choose to live here but some of the history's saddest chapters were written on the white pages of these glass years during the. cold war it was one of the world's most militarized regions with nuclear missiles placed there the war has may have gone but oil and gas drills are likely to replace them environmentalist question just how safe big struction technology will be in this stuff to retain especially with the gulf of mexico disaster and its lingering

legacy so fresh in people's minds it's not just a question of all for new york all drugs in the arctic it's all show that we approach those in our responsible way i don't think anybody could come up cross the arctic simply from the point of view of lettuce exploit the resources for i think everybody from charlotte show responsibility not your store shelves or your vitamin d. on the arctic nations but also to the entire world because if we measure the arctic of the northern part of the world the consequences will be felt in asia africa latin america the rest of europe in the united states and elsewhere apart from anna chan territorial claims concerns were again raised that pumping for a fuel in the world's refrigerator as it's sometimes known could speed up global warming a quarter of the world's untapped an idjit resources altered states have become increasingly anxious to sink their claims on to the look pretty piece of pie but

russia says they'll be no fighting over the arctic fortunes and any territorial dispute what will result in just as informal and friendly atmosphere as a business dinner it's been a great show for our t.v. moscow. now israel's moratorium on that woman's construction in the west bank is set to expire within just hours from now it was set up ten months ago by the israeli government is a move towards peace talks with palestinian officials well meanwhile palestinian government officials warn several times that any new construction words in the west bank would mean the mean. the hope of ongoing negotiations some and jewish settlers to celebrate the event by laying the foundation stones of new buildings in the area the international community has repeatedly called on israel to extend the moratorium all its or else live now from jerusalem to the gulf because the two ation of the from the pro palestinian organization at peace and now many thanks for

joining us and back i think do you think that an end to the moratorium will help the peace process. to mine first of where we think that it is it is. very important to emphasize that peace now is not proposed. but a movement with his trying to get the middle east peace situation. including true believe that. country of the will is not just dead jewish people like me well you know the iranian people. we believe that are freezing to death this and you know we have to keep on freezing. in order to get israel into a real peace within a few years we have until israel maybe maybe losing.

weight will you and harold you to meet say do exist that was a beggar we know that your organization is planning a rally after the moratorium what are you protesting against first of all you are protesting for protesting for a better me list for a better israel and for a better power stein right now we are protesting against keep on building into settlements because we simply believe that keep keep on building in a settlement as just faces of. yes get to the garbage. negotiation we have started. now you know some some people have criticized the palestinians for having wasted they set a ten month moratorium in that they haven't really focused enough attention on the

skull thing. cease in the building and that they they have wasted petang do you think that they could have done more in terms of reaching as a shared solution cheering this period obviously it. has issues of his own we don't think that there weren't enough to peace and get done in the definitely not doing enough. to get disputes into the world however it is not reason to israel to just forgive that this we just don't have any other option israel don't have any understanding solution than peace and now and finally what do you think should be the next step in order to bring peace to the region you say that your organization is all about making a better middle east how would you suggest that that happens first

of all we need to keep on three using operative unfreezing we have to get into serious negotiations in order to find a true trivial solution to the church disputing the list for having some kind of two state for two nations solution in the land of israel under then we will be able to say that it would really have bring to peace. many thanks for speaking to us from the organization peace and now as i understand we now are also joined by another guest to speak to us on this topic a spokesperson for the council. i hear you can hear me. so i put the question to you do you think that an end to this moratorium will help the peace process will be the end of it. i don't think that freezing

jewish building into d.n.c. america has anything to do with peace whatsoever we have missed identified what the cause of of not having peace here is and the cons is the arab world at large and the palestinians in particular not accepting the right for the truth to have a state here and so therefore the phrase has nothing to do with peace whatsoever and never did and so stopping it or continuing it will make absolutely no difference did not come to the table until just last week and it's clear that he still can't choke out the words jewish state and that really is the ultimate problem that we have here not where the jews build. your organization what we know that many organizations are actually planning our rally after the moratorium why do you think this why do you think they're doing that what do you think that message is. well the last ten months have been very

difficult we can't haven't been able to live normal lives you can't just suddenly ask people to stop building their home just to not have a kindergarten to send their child to to free his life it's an impossible situation that anybody in any civilized nation around the world would be able to understand and so we're just very grateful to get back to some kind of normal life we were very quiet in the last ten months and everyone of course in israel including us is hoping that one day we will be able to really have peace to have a son in the army. and i have seven children all together so no one can tell me that i don't believe in peace however we have really as i said before misidentified why there isn't peace here and and that's why we're just very glad to be able to get back to normal lives ok well let's across. from the organization speaking to what you make is that we have from this memory that israelis just want to get back to a sense of peace that their loved ones have been disrupted over the poles ten months and then now just seeing a realisation of normality back into the region. it was rather.

that there is no other option to ease real tree trivial solution to the dispute in the land of israel with the outside days rarely berger's we'll just get this solution rather than the. flood to try to get from us we should do everything we can to stop. israel country future a country with. a country which is able to keep this thing on earth what do you make of. it do you care. what i can tell you that the camp that mr berger represents has almost disappeared from the israeli political scene at their representatives in knesset are almost completely gone in the parliament because israelis have woken up and they realize

that this messianic idea of the far left that all we have to do is say what we think is right and everything will fall into place is just absurd and what we are doing most israelis is actually listening to what the arabs have to say and giving respect to what they say and when we read in their textbooks that they call occupied is an occupied palestinian city for example in a crossword puzzle in the answer is tell of the or when they name streets after terror. and when they over and over and over again educate their children from every pulpit whatsoever that one day palestine will replace israel well the israelis are not suicidal and israelis realize that we are doing just fine and we are existing just fine and nobel prize winners and all kinds of wonderful things are coming out of this country without the setting borders we would like to set borders but we also realize that the people to whom we would give real estate to are hell bent on destroying the country and that's something that most israelis with good reason are not going to countenance and i feel very sorry for mr berger

because the people with me is a very rapidly dwindling number and it's time to face reality and deal with facts not with wishes again as are many thanks for the unfortunate i can see you're somebody shaking his head but i'm afraid we're out of time my friend i'm going to have to say my thanks to you we had that from. a spokesperson for the council on your from the organization peace very conflicting views on a very sensitive issue many thanks. but as whalen's are voting in a crucial parliamentary election which is being seen as a test for the ruling party of president chavez after boycotting the previous poll in two thousand and five like the opposition will try to win back seats to change the country's political course. her office reports from the capital caracas. the sun rises here in caracas venezuela where very confrontational day tensions here are very high you can even feel it in the air really there have been a number of preparations under way to ensure that the instability that is played

this country does not show up in these elections now there are seventeen million voters registered to vote in this a lot of some of that number it's predicted that seventy percent will come to the polls today and thirty percent will stay home now depending on how which way this election's wings it could so there could be signs out and instability tomorrow monday the day following the election it's predicted that the government party could win a majority of those seats but if the opposition sees the election that stolen even with the international observers here to ensure transparency there could be some kind of the margin tomorrow between both sides i say both sides i mean the opposition forces and the pro-government forces and now let's take a look at what's at stake here it is an if you want to call poll that could represent it works versus the poor it's an outstanding view from the top of one of the finest hotels in caracas venezuela. but on the ground there is a different reality a class war between the wealthy and the poor

a battle that has been playing out here in venezuela since president chavez came to power in one thousand nine hundred eighty eight it happened in almost every election and this one is no exception if you keep. it is what has politically mobilized both sides of the class divine it's leading to scenes as distinct as day. and night. what the people have been a swale are calling one of the most important election this year what at stake here is that building the national assembly whoever gave the majority of the national assembly will have the authority to pass the laws and build the country. and so the goods build into the shade trees both for and against the chavez system it's. system we have right now but it's not common if at all it's working for poor people that's why people love chavez because we can study we can go to the neighborhood

today we have great education we have preferred before chavez came to power the poor were marginalized in venezuela according to statistics from the venezuelan national statistics office poverty in this country has dropped by seventy percent in only fourteen years that a bit us or not before chavez it was like a long night the poor were excluded from the country's wealth this represents our aspirations for freedom and emancipation because chavez sees people as human beings he fights for us but the opposition has different views also look at how it truly is not just destroyed venezuela has destroyed latin america has destroyed our values as citizens he has brought out the worst of us so if the worst means foreign money to help their cause it's not sitting well with most of the venezuelan people and government newspapers articles exposing hefty figures from u.s. government funded n.g.o.s are causing venezuelans to cry foul in this election and sustain the money is going directly to opposition forces to states make whatever

they want not around the world and nobody said nothing but they are angry because we are saying something about that. however the opposition refuses to acknowledge there is a link between the dollars pouring into this country and their campaigns are going to get rid of chavez through votes in the market that's why we're going to vote on september twenty sixth against chavez a socialist communist project twenty first century socialism hasn't helped us it is her favorite pro chavez elements also insist the opposition is composed of the wealthy elite with a prejudice towards majority poor. i hate discrimination and that is what the opposition does that's why people don't trust it and they discriminate good like they were there the whites over here the indians over there i am white powerful you know no no no from day to night both sides are behind two different messages. one calling for a balance in a parliament dominated by the government's parties and a more capitalist system. the other praising the political structure currently in

place one with a socialist agenda because depending on which way the pendulum swings in this election the governing system of venezuela will ultimately follow john huff is r t could arcus venezuela. were also the capital hosted an international race event on sunday as part of the country's rolling day participants in moscow how to finish a five kilometer run around the city said his historic. supervenes put on my trainers and took on the challenge. runner's world the streets of russian capital have an athame to pay pal bin laden brother one month ago by david how to test the pen come from the for the walk not run proud russian roulette many runners. place the all at once and. here. i once was.

one racer came from manchester england to raise money and awareness for russian orphanage in small ways because so far it's a good distance just two hundred forty. three weeks. three continents to raise money for north just north east all the marathon is meant to inspire a healthy living it's also meant to inspire those of us who reserve. down but. not part of the trauma of this event is that races are able to take an historic site of the city at night and do it in a party atmosphere and speaking a party once the event is over that's when the celebration began with their free concert at home and. i'll be back with that in just a few minutes don't go away.
