over the time but also say this country's open to talks on his controversial nuclear program. the environment here in caracas venezuela was fairly calm this morning as voting started but of course the intensity is kicking in venezuela waits for the upcoming election results. and competition for the vast energy resources beneath the ark say brings nations with a polar state to moscow to seek compromise and cooperation for the future. hello and welcome to our weekly review i'm using tom a story now of the war was between the u.s. and iranian 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 sharply criticized mother shot 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 rile the reagan president says he is ready to resume negotiations over his country's nuclear program oh 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. 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 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 vol two of us thought that most people believe that some segments within the u.s. government has traded the attack to reverse the decline in the us 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 when you're smiling you believe or started that the government had to have about eleven and what seemed like interviews with almost every network and he had a captive audience on the street they have joining activists to protest against his visit almost daily i did. hear 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 the forces used against iran i believe this would be the shortest way to the radicals in the room prevailing and deciding that now 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 spend on the food that we deliver. 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 more or less they. fell 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 bark truffles that will do all make up out of their what a black truffle sauce and i will show you the truffles legal 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 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 or in leicester artie's new york. that is the island's have been voting in a poll of entry election that will turn the popularity of president hugo chavez on his ruling united socialist policy. and caracas has been watching the pool with counting is underway well we can't give a definitive answer as of this moment what has been reported is that three tables were audited manually so the process here is an automated process so what you do is you have a receipt but you also vote through a machine and because of these three tables being counted manually the election

results are yet to come in this situation is an auditing process at the moment so we can't we can't say whether or not it's been a straightforward process but for the for the moment what we did see today at the polling stations was that most people said it was a very easy process there were no problems despite a lot of allegations from different sections here and but as well as that there were going to be a lot of problems on the actual voting day what we saw today were no issues whatsoever but these three tables seem to be circulating on the independent media here in venezuela as a problem for the most part now another issue plaguing this election of course is the two sides that seem to be polarizing the different views here in venice well of for example the opposition a lot of different chavez supporters insist that they're being funded by u.s. forces and while that cannot be confirmed there are leads here in the country that we've been following that the i.r.i. the end of the international republican institute has been here for the past three weeks and according to their two thousand and nine annual report they were giving

six hundred thousand dollars but the national endowment of democracy which is a us partner for projects here in venice well and where that money is going we cannot say that that is another is that is an issue that has come into this election however we are waiting for the results right now for the most part media outlets cannot report predictions but that's not what's happening on the ground a lot of people are circulating speculation that the opposition is going to win three states here and of course these are three strongholds for them but there's also the key. t.-t. which is independent party that broke off from the government party and apparently we don't have the results yet but this is just speculation they are going to win a lot of the independent voters are the voters that are undecided but we were at the polling stations this morning and we took a look at what was happening let's take a look at how it has swung to the polls today and what they had to say about their electoral process. 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 the 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 program no nothing no problem i'm very surprised what has been drilled into their heads is that the opposition will win close to fifty fifty. six eighteen nineteen. members. in the house you know they in the congress and maybe sixty seventy what the opposition claim all along used to be

a message that they hold a majority on the contrary throughout the bow to live in years to the revolutionary process reelection 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 our one 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 you know because each of the venezuelan people know this election in many ways is an illogical dispute one deeply rooted in the history of latin america into what this is more than and the older jackal war

it's a work 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 in about the america to make our own decisions to solve our problems according to our real needs to decisions that will eventually reflect after this election is finally over r t caracas venezuela. later in the program we'll look at elections on the other side of the atlantic europe. has also respond right freedom pass it doubles its burden provincial elections will see what games are played to win and for those victories to concerts elsewhere in europe rising islamic. a moratorium on settlement construction in the west bank has just expired in jerusalem the israeli government imposed a ten months ago as a move towards peace talks with palestinians but its lifting could derail current peace negotiations but a senior leaders have warned the pullout of u.s.

talks and the way there's renewed building in the west bank for settlers and their plans to celebrate the mixing of the balance by laying foundations for a new building the israeli government has ignored pleas from the international community takes turns the moratorium in the light of the current peace talks and i just haven't. seen a rights activist. the jewish settlers or representative even are interested. first of where we need to keep on freezing after keeping freezing we have to get into serious negotiations in order to find a true true solution to the dispute in the middle east and after having some kind of two state for two nations so notion in the land of israel and then we'll 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 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 i 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. good. speech. outside we will just get this solution take it from us we should do everything we can to stop. making israel a country which able 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

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'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 catch israel into a real peace. when looking for votes some politicians go to trading in some try to sweet talks the media but also austria's right wing freedom party has pinned its hopes on a nineteen muslim computer game whatever the cause it's sure diverting sunday's regional elections doubled. there on your takes a look at the game that's what i will never know also chairman may have helped cause they were going socialist democrats and the chart. are the by by most game is

a simple as its message they came and shoot down as many new mosques as you can as they rise relentlessly above asters alpine skyline if you're not quick enough what the country is islam ised some of that is your birth 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 wrong nerve within twenty four hours it received more than two hundred thousand web hits within a week it was bad 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 of 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 uphold the complaint and ruled it again went beyond except the whole discussion forcing the freedom party to take it down from its website it's in 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 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 a below last election now it's expected to put a dent in the ruling coalition of two centrist party to have a little here change and doing the whole system because i have to feeling huge sure of the law against these two factors but 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 they risk being penalized at the ballot box. party grafts steria. to early to hand and violence in iraq the current size of a pullout of u.s. combat forces in the country downturn anal whether medical sources being trained by fifty thousand american troops staying behind iraq to the job of maintaining security. around for better law down the indians face threats of violence and even death from marrying outside of their constant. 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 he is now in by during where he'll be meeting the country's leader who jintao and top government officials security in the far east and she called the racial strategic partnership and the russian chinese trade over the main business in hand before arriving in the city presently development of the city of dallas and formally learned us port arthur that he later released said they memorial to russian so that civilians and soldiers who died in china during games and in the nineteen other two who said just a nice little. this week experts and top politicians gathered in the russian tapazole to discuss. they are greater they call for us as a saying have heater exploration or the vos energy resources of the polar region can develop in a spirit of cooperation rather than competition and to present 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 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 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 and 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 often your call drudge in the arctic it's all shoulder that we approach there's another responsible way i don't think anybody can approach the arctic simply from their point of view but let us exploit the resources for i think everybody from charlotte show responsibility but your store shelves vironment on the arctic nations but also to the entire world because if we measure the arctic the 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 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 informal and friendly atmosphere as a big dinner it's in the direction of our t.v. moscow. after was joining combat forces from iraq the u.s. still has left behind fifty thousand troops their role is to train local police to cope with the militants threats but as l.t. is pulis near discovered their homes are more than full while the level of violence in the country still rises. dark and dangerous and body armor that does little to protect against the fact that they're not welcome here they're doing it

this way out of control through one of the iraqi neighborhoods trying to prevent counterattack fire this is a bomb his team he stayed behind the mission providing training support and backup to the iraqi police when they get to our level we go over our operations order and planning for the actual missions we're going to do then we do a pretty brief then we actually go and execute these type missions that we're on now but the u.s. invasion to have a fully functioning iraqi security force did not protect safire ismail's husband four years ago he disappeared without a trace and it's. called me and said he was coming to beat me i said the situation is really bad don't come but he said now i have to come. so far as certain husbands did as all the families of tens of thousands of iraqis who've also disappeared since two thousand and three human rights organizations put some of the blame with the local security forces trainees are not always the white candidates for the job

a lot of them they have come from illiterate you know bugger all or some of them they are just the from the tribes and clans some of them just because they are part of the political parties militias and so on and the problem is compounded by the limited training they've given you can apply for the kinds of these. people being the effect that this needs to be some of the few months of training that appears to be so they're full of car bombs missing with installing an id card and it's a far cry from what is needed. they are not untrained but the training they receive is not enough the americans only thought to create an iraqi army in two thousand and four by then it was too late because the terrorists had already infiltrated. but with the increase of violence in iraq in recent weeks. the need for a competent domestic security force has never been greater but whether or not the u.s. and iraq can mice to the challenge is too good to be seen. on t.v.

baghdad. marriage without family permission can lead to danger for young people and from prosecution by relatives to even all the killings but a group called the love commanders is offering protection and refuge to couples whose relationships are not approved of his parents saying reports. your life's in danger your girlfriend's been kept captive welcome to the love commandos a newly formed hope taking calls from distraught couples who have dared to marry against their family's wishes because. whenever we get a call that a couple is being threatened we contact our commandos and tell them to go there immediately to help them if they face any problem we inform the police our team of lawyers also reach there so that the couple is not attacked threatened or mistreated. the love commandos include lawyers and social activists

some point they were also attracted to people and trying to fall in love even if not all were successful of course you see what i think really take their frustration out on today's youngsters. who want beauty anonymous means a priority for the volunteers who have been targeted by angry relatives and the village councils the help lane operates from five secret locations in the capital and visitors carefully screened. the work we do we have to do it quietly if anyone asks us our address we don't just give it to us we first ask them to reach a public spot and hear our center but we check to see whether he's a trouble maker who only wants to assure that he needs help then we take him we. love can sometimes be a dangerous thing in india especially in rural communities but with the love commandos just a phone call away there's at last a glimmer of hope for the many couples endangered by their feelings for each other
