from the munich agreement on our t.v. . this week's top stories this hour iranian president mahmoud ahmadinejad is center stage at the u.n. general assembly spoken in anger and hate us led walking around with his speech claiming america was behind in nine eleven a time but also saying this country is open to talks on its called about. as all true as far as freedom hosni doubles its budget conventional elections will see once again as a place to play with for those victories one to gratian his elsewhere in europe a major one is an islamic baby. and competition but advanced energy resources would be the coax it brings nations to take to moscow to seek

a compromise and hopefully from public. and welcome to all seas we can a review i mean you know main story the war was between us and they were new presidents at the u.n. general assembly this week has left much of the rest of the debate in new york in the shade barack obama should be criticized for it a mother shot for his claims that america was behind the nine eleven terror attacks remarks which led to a walkout by u.s. and western nations but this part of the rally ready and president says he is ready to resume negotiations over his country's nuclear program also has learned mr reports. 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 faceoff between iranian president mahmoud ahmadinejad and us 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 dinner 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. most people believe that some segments within the u.s. government has traded the attack to reverse the decline in the u.s. economy and his grip on 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 where you're smiling you believe it 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 they have i'm just going activist to protest against his visit almost daily i mean. pomp and circumstance aside ahmadinejad 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 if force is used against iran. i believe this would be the shortest way to the radicals in their own. truly and decide that no 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 spoke of the food that we delivered to the conference concluded with deep concern that the un is falling far short of conquering problems such as world poverty and malnutrition it appeared no country yesterday we. more or less 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 their what a black truffle sauce and i will show you the truffle stable side 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 leaders to share their opinions and ideas if 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

or in leicester are to be. taking the role stream of the un general assembly many participants talks about mutual obligations of democracy and human rights but some critics say the host nation should take a closer look at domestic abuses before preaching to the rest of the world. as world leaders gathered at the united nations today we must. be living up to our mutual responsibility the voice of america took to the podium in the universal declaration of human rights. we recognize the inherent dignity rights of every individual yet three miles south from barack obama's lecture on moral principles one woman languishes in this federal jail behind me stripped many say of all her dignity allegedly at the hands of u.s. officials. pakistani born u.s. educated a neuroscientist mother of three and a doctor u.s.

mainstream media jobbed levy. a so-called terrorist never charged with committing an act of terror i mean i think his story is really just a symbol of a broader problem which has gone largely unnoticed which is that there are you know hundreds and if not thousands of people who have been disappeared at the hands of. you know either the bush administration or we don't know perhaps it continues into the obama administration and have never there is the captors have never been held to account family spokesperson. says before ciggies publicized arrest in two thousand and eight the mit graduate was tortured and secretly detained in the notorious prison she was kidnapped in pakistan with her three children in march of two thousand and three no one knows where they are for

a period of five years until of course the united states government announces that she's in custody in afghanistan and foster says he is among the countless faces illegally swept up by a unknown forces fighting this so-called global war on terror we believe that the u.s. cover. a man had a role in her disappearance and imprisonment for the missing five years. overseas siddiqi has become known as the daughter of pakistan. thousands have stormed the streets. proclaiming her a victim of america's post nine eleven justice system a system creating more enemies than friends this was never about capping it this was about the u.s. trying to see if it's really something that you should you can you just did that but what it did in that in in the process was that it smashed it's one thing that it stood for and that was the power of justice and it has just lost that and that

is in front of the will was amnesty international headquartered in manhattan for decades was staging noisy worldwide campaigns to free people they say are political prisoners often as far as burma or north korea but not in the case of a city who was imprisoned and tried next door in new york city key supporters sara flounders says the so-called pioneers of human rights abroad have blatantly turned away from a horrific problem here at home not to address us on the work people are held in under horrendous conditions tortured abused held in solitary confinement the first obligation always to address the issues and the conduct of your own government thursday morning after he was sentenced to eighty six years in prison her crime attempted assault against a u.s. soldier yet the alleged crimes against her never investigated it's been absolutely

horrifying to see that obama who ran for president as the anti bush and who was so adamantly opposed to the perversion of the united states constitution to see. now the continuation of all of these policies that he has adopted from the bush administration has been absolutely outrageous thank you very much. marina portnoy party. coming up later this last call the venezuelan because it is a voting in a highly contested national election which has been billed about some of the rich versus the. i think it's just a power struggle in washington. and the balance in the big apple with hearing what people have to say about america's job it's. a moratorium on

settlement construction in the west bank has just expired in jerusalem israeli government imposed ten months ago as a move towards peace talks with palestinians but it's lifting could derail current peace negotiations. the pullout of u.s. . currently underway if there's renewed building in the west bank or settlements in the area of plans to celebrate the lifting of the ban by foundation for new buildings and israeli government has ignored from the international community to extend the moratorium in the light of the current peace. this habit of palestinian rights activist. and the jewish settlers representative in jerusalem. first we need to keep the freezing for keeping freezing we have to get into serious negotiations. find a true solution to the dispute in the middle east and after having some kind of two

state for two nations so notion and if israel will be able to say that we really have. i put the question to you do you think that an end to this moratorium will help the peace process be the end of it. i don't think that freezing jewish building into d.n.c. mary 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 jews to have a state here and so therefore the phrase has nothing to do with peace whatsoever and never did. dispute. with the outside. we'll just get this solution and try to get us we should do everything we can to. make israel

a country which. existed on earth 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 they're all we have to do is say what we think is right and everything will fall into place is just absurd and what we're doing most israelis is actually listening to what the arabs have to say and giving respect to what they say. of the country have the will as much as the jewish people like me we believe that we have to keep on freezing. in order to get israel into a real peace. when making for some politicians go to trade unions some try to sweet talk the media but also true as a writer when freedom party has pinned its hopes on an answer muslim computer games

whatever the causes shall divide in sunday's regional elections doubles. takes a look at the game that they will know the north church and may have helped cause their ruling social democrats in the jars. watch the bye-bye mosque game as simple as its message they came and shoot down as many new mosques as you can as they rise relentlessly above austria's alpine skyline if you're not quick enough the country is islam ised some of that is 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 we released by the right wing freedom party as part of its bid for election and the regional government in styria austria second largest province the game has hit the raw nerve within twenty four hours it received more than two hundred thousand web hits within

a week it was bam 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. is a reality if we want to build mosques we will build them anyway i have a vision in the future where every town and city in austria has a mosque with a minaret that people can see from the outside in. the judicial authorities up hold the complaint and ruled it again went beyond acceptable discussion forcing the freedom party to take it down from its website box and that all the numbers who played the game show that islam is a very important issue thanks to us it was talked about in the first place but the judicial system is meddling in politics and stopping a free discussion base of many say that ban has had the reverse effect because 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 sleep at the last election now it's expected to put a dent in the ruling coalition of two centrist party to have a little here change india india whole system because i have to feeling you are ready to get back to what they like to just position themselves as like. the resistance of the true people which is kind of being 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 immigration or there is being penalized at the ballot box. party gratz steria. right a far left now and venezuelans are voting in a critical parliamentary election which will test the popularity of president

chavez has united socialist party after both causing the previous poll into thousand and five the opposition is trying to win back seats to change the country's political course away from the let around two hundred fifty thousand police were deployed across the country ahead of voting with a seventy percent electro turnout predicted and. half its reports the result could hinge on who emerges victorious from the showdown between the country's rich and 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 eight it happened in almost every election and this one is no exception to. eat it is what has politically mobilized both sides of the class divides leading to scenes as distinct as day.

this is. and that is. what the people of venezuela are calling one of the most important election of the year what they care is that building the national assembly whoever gave the majority of the national assembly will have the authority to pass the laws in this country and so the boards build into the chetry both for and against the chavez system a 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 kind of thought if we could go to the neighborhood today we have free education we have preferred before chavez came to power and the poor were marginalized in venezuela according to statistics from the venezuelan national statistics office poverty in this country has dropped by seventy percent and only fourteen years that's a bit us are 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 it's the worst means of 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 system the money is going directly to opposition forces united states make whatever they want not around the world and nobody said nothing so they are angry because we are saying something about that. however the opposition refuses to acknowledge there is a link between dollars pouring into this country and their campaigns these 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 doesn't. helped us it was 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 and they discriminate good like they were there the whites of the year the indians over there i am white powerful you know no no no from day to night growth signs are behind two different messages. one calling for a balance in a parliament dominated by the governments 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 our t. could arcus venezuela. will have a lot more coming up in the program including. apple apple

apple made a paper ballot in late brother one of the go by david out of ten the pen come from me for the walk not running crowd russia but even an avid runner. this week x. was on top politicians gathering in the russian capital to discuss the future of the arctic region the conference was a seeing how a future exploitation of the vast energy resources of the altar can develop in a spirit of cooperation rather than competition and to protect the region's fragile ecosystem. if you stand alone you can survive in the arctic that's how russian premie have led him or putin explained but 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 peak layer of ice there will be no fighting over the top of the world the arctic needs secure sustainable management and there's anybody who

has to stop with that we have to 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 that no one lives here no one survives here is 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 got to 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 warheads may have gone but all and gas trails i 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 often your call drugs in the arctic it's all shoulder that we approach those in our responsible way i don't think anybody can come up roll to the arctic simply from the point of view of lettuce exploit the resources i think everybody from. the responsibility not your store shelves or your viral load 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 an awful lot of the rest of europe in the united states and elsewhere apart from anna jan territorial claims concerns were again raised that pumping for 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 resource is altered states have become increasingly anxious just take 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 the army and friendly atmosphere has a big dinner it's in the direction of our t.v. moscow. u.s. census figures show america's ports to level is at its highest for one hundred years wars in iraq and afghanistan along with the turmoil of the financial crisis blamed for the grim statistic and also his resident asks people on the streets of new york how bad they think the situation really is. the u.s. census bureau released a report indicating that about forty four million americans or one in seven live below the poverty level that's the highest it's been in over half of that jury what or who's to blame for this this week let's talk about that is that the private. not

consider in obama's policy you know the pinkies the blame for where we're at right now well he's partially to blame he's put the whole country and. so how are we going to get out of it. get rid of obama but i mean we are fighting two wars and i think they're costing a lot of money so obviously that's having a significant effect on the economy and obama inherited these wars so i don't think we can blame him i've lost faith in the government i think it's just a power struggle in washington now that's what i think it's kind of like everyone saying what they're supposed to be saying for their party but no one's concerned about doing anything that's one way of putting it i suppose i would say the mortgage mortgage dilemma. loaning money that we don't have to people that can afford it to begin with and i think that was the beginning of it do you think that's going to turn around any time soon are we going to just see more. i hope i hope it turns around i think it's i think it's on the upswing there would be no middle class just poverty class and the rich class that would have it with it so you think that the middle class is kind of disappearing in this country i think

it's definitely it's definitely. not so much disappearing but it's definitely not as big as it as it used to be i mean you know growing up my parents always said that the middle class was a lot bigger and times were a lot easier like a lot of people tend to react and take a lot of things for granted. well those things that we really haven't you know we have a lot more than several other countries in this world i'm just gonna get complacent that things are going to debate we should focus on what we do have instead of what we don't have a now. the bottom line is that no matter who or what if to blame for this high level of poverty let's just hope. someone or something can do something about it. brace about and so taking place all across russia on sunday as part of the country's national running day and most schools are no exception participants range from celebrities to top runners had to complete

a five kilometer runaround the capital's historic landmarks and also put on a train is and to call the treatment. runners who are the streets of russian capital had been at the made a pen pal bin laden brother run motto by a pavement how to tell the kids come from the i prefer to walk not run proud russians go mad bodied and average runners. for the all at once is. tying here i decide i want to check myself. can ride by here in surrey not one racer came from manchester england to raise money and awareness for russian orphanage it's a race for me because so far from it's a good distance just to race it's two hundred forty kilometers in space so for three weeks for three continents to raise money for north beach just northeast of

moscow the marathon is meant to inspire healthy living it's also meant to inspire those of us who reserve. hailing down but to think of it not for the trauma of this event is that races are able to take an historic site of the city at night and do it in the party atmosphere and speaking of party once the event is over that's when the celebration began with their free concert at home and. those were our main stories the sod off the back with a recap of the headlines in just a few minutes. i'm

not. going to. pull out a rally will sell lots of beer will. they will wear uniforms and will.
