hello and welcome to all seas would play review you national volatile main story they war was between the u.s. and iranian president said the yuan general somebody this week has left much of the rest of the debate in new york in the shade barack obama sharply criticized. for his claims that america was behind the nine eleven terror attacks revulse which led to a walkout by u.s. and western nations but despite their rattle the iranian president says he's ready to resume negotiations over his country's nuclear program also his lord 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. 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 the policy 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 an adult. all of us believe that most people believe that some segments within the u.s. government has traded the attack to reverse the declining u.s. economy and his 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 where you're smiling do you believe or started that the government had to hand out a lot in what seemed like interviews with almost every network and you had a captive audience on the street voted to have joining activists 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. through very early and decided that no that we will struck 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

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 did 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 their what a black truffle sauce and i will show you the truffle staple side and after a week of traffic truffles and talk the press 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 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 r.t. you are. 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. are we living up to our mutual responsibility the voice of america took to the podium 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 the doctor u.s. mainstream media job. 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 publicized arrest in two thousand and eight the mit graduate was tortured beaten 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 is in custody in afghanistan and foster says he is among the countless faces

illegally swept up by a known 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 that this was about the us trying to see if it's the numbers if you should and 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 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 where people are held and under horrendous conditions torture and abuse 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 r.t. . coming up later this hour venezuela's go to the country. as a. was. just a power struggle in washington. the battle in the big apple you people have to say about america's economic situation. a moratorium on settlement construction in the west bank has just expired in jerusalem israeli government

imposed a ten months ago as a move towards peace talks with palestinians but it could derail current peace negotiations palestinian leaders have borne pullout of u.s. talks currently underway this renewed building in the west bank. in the area have plans to celebrate the lifting of the ban by byline for leg rather foundation for new buildings the israeli government has ignored pleas from the international community to take stands the moratorium in the light of the current peace talks. and its habits of palestinian rights activist. and representative from its. first we need to keep freezing freezing we have to get into serious negotiations. find a trivial solution to the church dispute in the middle which only after having sinned kind to states for two nations so motion and if you.

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. 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 misidentified 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 do to have a state here and so therefore the phrase has nothing to do with peace whatsoever and never did. speech. outside. we'll just get this solution rather than try to get us we should do everything we can to stop. making israel a country which to keep on existing 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 it was to me and deserve a country have the will is not just the jewish people like me we believe that we have to keep on freezing. in order to get israel into a real peace. it leads on to terror killing teams run by america's intelligence agency have now taken the u.s. lead will beyond afghanistan those are the claims in a new book called obama's rules by veteran journalist bob woodward and woodward says that a secret army of some three thousand are going to fight as. the taliban have now

infiltrated pakistan their own nation comes in the other books and pentagon officials. destroyed thousands of copies of an army reservist memo about fighting in afghanistan i have a feeling is it revealed the military secrets and washing it from this think tank project for pakistan in the twenty first century since the death squads may become a major source of problems for both of donna stern and pakistan. the united states continues to rely on warlords in afghanistan when when i heard about the mercenary force of three thousand well trained of guns are you still there's one part of the story that is still missing and that is where these three thousand of gone volunteers for this mercenary army came from and i have no doubt about the answer to this question and that is they came and they were recommended by some of the warlords and these warlords are really milking the u.s. government and the u.s.

military they're making a lot of money and of course we all know the story of what happened in tora bora back in november and in december two thousand and one when it was some of bin laden actually escaped from tora bora thanks actually to the very elijah's of the u.s. military be of gone warlords who some of them according to reports took money and let many almost one thousand al qaeda fighters really escape and this confirms actually that we will have problems about these militias and these mercenaries getting out of control at some point in the future. well looking for some politicians to trading in some try to sweet talk the media but also right wing freedom party has penned its hopes on the wanton muslim computer game whatever the cause is shall divert in sunday's racial elections doubled. takes a look at the game that's had a role never in austria and may have helped cost the social democrats in the charts . or are the by by most game is

a simple as its message they came and shoot down as many of you lost as you can as they rise relentlessly above alpine skyline if you're not quick enough the country is islam ised and some of that is something 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 people will be 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. 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 it's in 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 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 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 into whole system because i have to feeling huge story again like what they like to just position themselves as like the the resistance of

the true origin 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 i'd parties in sweden belgium and the netherlands. it appears that no longer can the centrist parties ignore the voices of those alone by islam and immigration or they risk being penalized at the ballot box. party gratz steria. and i have from far right a far left now and parliamentary elections in venezuela will prove a serious test of new charges the ruling united a socialist party the opposition which boycotted the last vote in two thousand and five is attempting to win seats and shift the country's political direction away from the left. half it says in the capital city of caracas to tell us about the situation there. the sun rises to a contentious day here in caracas after months of intense campaigning and p.r.

maneuvers from both sides venezuelans from all over the country hit the polls to vote for their national assembly the obvious signs of election day paint the city. less traffic businesses closed down to accommodate voters the military is on high alert and lines wrap around the polling stations the rumors start to flare on the eve of the election allegations that voting machines were out of order began to circulate on the opposition side. but here at a station that is predominately pro opposition there were no complaints did you having trouble voting just now no no problem no nothing no problems i'm very surprised what has been drilled into their heads is that the opposition will win close to fifty fifty probably. eighteen nineteen. members. in the house you know that in the congress and maybe sixty seventy what the opposition claim all along is the media message that they

hold a majority on the contrary throughout the boats eleven years to the revolutionary process has won every election and these do is going to be a victory for us. towards the inner city however the crowds display more support for the government my point station you can hear people saying vote up to the left read the government's party this school is not only one of the most historic landmarks in the city it's also one of the largest voting districts and the opinions here for the most part are split fifty fifty but there are lots of expectations let's hope the results are what we expect for the sake of everyone at this polling station there were also no problems with voting some were even helping people with how and who to vote for to get out on the streets of caracas it's almost impossible to avoid election time because each of the venezuelan people know this election in many ways is illogical. butte one deeply rooted in the history of latin america this is more than a new york war it's

a world of interests and power the power that the right has always had over latin america more than any of you logical war it's about the right of the people of blood to america to make our own decisions to solve our problems according to a real. decision that will eventually reflect after this election is finally over r t caracas venezuela russia's president dmitry medvedev has arrived in china for his second state visit to the country since he took office in two thousand days and he's now in beijing where he will be meeting because his leader who jintao and top government officials security in the far east entry corp teacher partnership and russian chinese trade will be the main business in hand before arriving in the city at present vet of business of the city of delhi and the former escort also that he made to reset the moral to russia and solve its civilians and soldiers who died in china during both world wars and in the. japanese war.

this week top politicians gathered in the russian capital to discuss the future of the arctic region the conference was aimed at seeing how future explo taishan will devolve energy resources of they also can develop in a spirit of cooperation rather than competition to protect the region's fragile ecosystem. if you stand alone yukon survive in the arctic that's how russian premie have led him or putin explained that no country by itself can deal with the enormous challenges and had at the world he promised that what average treasures lie hidden and to be calais or buys will be no fighting over the top of the world the arctic needs secure sustainable management know if there's anybody who just stuck with it 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 and eagles and the reality is that the arctic is a vibrant place with rich natural resources rich human resources where people live and survive daily at the 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 drills 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 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 come up roach the

arctic should leave from their point of view but let us exploit the resources i think everybody on shark show responsibility not just for show your vitamins on the arctic nations but also to the entire world because if we measure the often of the northern part of the world the consequences will be felt in asia and 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 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 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 important and friendly atmosphere as a big dinner it's been a great show for our t.v. moscow. u.s.

census figures show america's poverty 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 is 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 prising 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 i mean we are fighting two wars and i

think they are 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 and just poverty class and the rich class that would agree to 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 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. those things that we really have and you know we have a lot more than several other countries in the world i'm just going to get complacent that things are going to maybe 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. now let's have a look at some other stories making headlines around the globe seven hundred people in gorilla cities somewhere around seven kilometers along the river sands on sunday for the unusual that's hard to raise awareness over these species which is an extinction number taking the same as task of the tiny population of mountain gorillas believed to remain in the wild around two hundred in
