eight thirty am in moscow the zero if you have lived as colonel qaddafi is remaining troops hold out against government forces and nato air strikes in libya the french president faces a legal battle at home over his country's intervention in the conflict lawyers claim nicolas sarkozy should be held to account for crimes against humanity committed during the bombing of libya. international efforts being stepped up to calm border tensions in kosovo where neither locals nor serbs are willing to back down after recent bloodshed one person was killed when kosovo seized two serbian border posts in july. it's a state of showdown at the un as the general assembly prepares to vote on the

status of palestine with deep divisions preparing to crack the surface the u.s. and israel remain in vehemently opposed to giving the palestinians a seat out the world body. head of that vote in new york art he sat down with palestinian politician one on a trial we she believes that getting full members status will i finally allow israel to be held accountable for crimes against the palestinian people and what she says is the occupation of their liking. archies sitting down with award winning scholar and internationally recognized politician executive committee member of the palestine liberation organization dr hanan ashrawi thank you so much for joining us today thank you and it's my pleasure dr shah let's start with one of the most highlighted issues this year's united nations general assembly gathering of course palestine's bid for recognized statehood we know that palestine is already recognized by over one hundred twenty

countries why does this u.n. vote matter it's very important because this is a turning point in sort of palestinian history and in the history of peacemaking in the region we do have as you said bilateral recognitions from different countries we have by now one hundred twenty seven but at the same time we are we have been engaged in a peace process that has taken on over two decades of prolongation and stalling with israel creating facts on the ground building settlements in the latterly acting from a position of power as an occupier and undermining the chances of peace and the objectives of the two state solution and so on so we are trying now to say that this is a new phase a new either let's say we are going to go international community to say that the palestinian question and the palestinian people have the right to become a nation and should be placed within this international context as the essence of multilateralism as the source of international global legislation and the

palestinian question must be resolved in accordance with international law now the united states has made it more than clear that a veto is really it's only possible reaction to a resolution of the security council so are there really there are plans reported that palestine may consider going through channels through the general assembly is that really in the works well we have many different options under clothes and we studied all of them and we're keeping all our options open frankly. speaking with because if we go through the security council directly that means we one percent objectives and we certainly don't want to have a confrontation with the u.s. but they're the ones who are choosing a confrontation over something that is actually part of their own policies and their own declared suppose we could also go to the journalist family and ask for upgrading of our status or created recognition and then ask for support to go to the security council so what we're saying is we can go straight to the security

council and deal with the consequences and if the u.s. wants to isolate itself. on the wrong side of the law it could be it's choice or we could go into directly to the security council and also fortified my. solution and that's an assembly and then again the present out but as i said that many many options and we're keeping them all up and like going through the security council going through the general assembly would mean a nonmember state status for palestine why would that be important that's very important because although we are now we have observer status as the p.l.o. and we want to have. a nonmember state status which means there would be a recognition of statehood but it's our membership that is an observer membership but that opens the doors for us to become a member of all you and organizations institutions agencies and so on it would

empower the palestinians it would also declare the territory occupied territory not disputed territory and therefore up for grabs it would declare its true saloon as occupied not as the eternally unified capital of visit for ever and ever and it would lay the foundations of any this illusion based on international law so it's very important and we can also hold israel accountable which is something. that is the having is the us absolutely insane when talking about accountability because they don't want any kind of accountability part isn't whether through you and human rights organizations like the u.n. or council on human rights or international criminal court or international court of justice they just want to ensure that israel continues to act outside an above the law you have mentioned access you want to situations if we look for example at the international criminal court access to that what kind of really impact will

that have for palestine that would have a tremendous impact because that means that the international criminal court can act in accordance with their own convention and their own statute describes settlement activities as they walk around because when you violate the fourth geneva convention when you move populations of your own into occupied territory and you take other people's lands this is a war crime and collective crime i guess the palestinian people start to matic lee we can start a suit and law cases against not just the government but i guess all settlers and the settler will be seen as being part of this war crime and that's why quite worried about the palestinians becoming a state or getting access to the instruments of accountability particularly the international criminal court well in an interview with archie we had aired previously a palestinian politician of your shot said she was that is released must be changed to be taken to paradise simply meant. a way to peace who is strong enough do you

think to forge a chain like but look i think. it's a modern power more than anything else. seems to me that if you can use your powers of persuasion and humanity for the israelis to understand that a land grab their greed for land for control or subjugating and other people is really a strategic liability for instance it's. russian political legal human decision you have to think about the consequences of your sins but you cannot for ever claim to be above the law and claim to be exempt from any accountability and claim real impunity and preferential treatment that that is the time in which all these things will and then you will be held accountable like any other country and you can continue a slab and slaving people whatever and getting away with it so it's a question of persuasion and looking nearly at reality and understanding that given

also the context of the arab spring given the context of regional and even global changes and transformations has a unique chance to make peace quickly with the palestinians and to be accepted in the region rather than continue with its unilateral dangerous. policies of of control and oppression. of land and so on and then delay the inevitable which is going to be further confrontations violence and extremism now if we look a little bit at united states involvement in all of this we know that last year barack obama spoke at the general assembly saying that hopefully by this year two thousand and eleven palestine will be recognized as a member within the united nations now his administration is clearly opposed to this do you see this is a stab in the back i see this as a source of commander sled down real disappointment because he theys the expectations and have right of ways starting with ending all settlement activities

to acting this i sadly in peacemaking to basing all peacemaking on international law and multilateralism and to building a palestinian state on the sixty seven mondays so having it in length on almost all these things that he has created a sense of let down among the palestinians the arabs even the world people of good conscience who expect. obama to live up to his promises and to his values and principle. other than to narrow self-interest. right now. if he's seen as doing israel's bidding and trying to justify the occupation and trying to justify israeli policies and actually putting pressure on everybody starting with the palestinians who are of course the rekers party because we do not have i mean kind of. thing so he'll be seen as sort of not just bullying the palestinians but he'll be seen as weighing in on the side of an illegal and unjust situation and he'll be undermining

the standing and credibility and interests of the u.s. in the region and throughout the world other brokers russia the european union and the united nations judy have really a place as a place where they're trying to do is very dangerous because the u.s. in many ways has changed its policy to accommodate this extreme government and not only that but it was trying to put pressure on the quartet accept this position on the self negate by saying palestinians shouldn't go to rio and on the e.u. by asking them to change their longstanding policy on the two state solution and so on and jerusalem under the legality of settlements and of course that has taken a very clear stance on the basis of international law and palestinian rights including that at the terminus so by about thing the israeli position and then trying to shove it in the throat of the quartet the u.s. is really distorting the legal system as well as

a political system as well as the human and credit of achieving a just peace what do you think americans and some european countries have been willing to welcome the arab spring and yet palestine's self determination is seen as something pretty much an acceptable for the united states in particular it is ironic this that will stand to look at that ups plane as a way of of vindication. dr towards democracy and freedom and human rights and human dignity and yet when it comes to the palestinians we are decontextualized removed this is very selective precisely because i think our occupier is right and as is the mystic issue in the us and has enormous influence on their careers and the fates of many politicians through elections access to the media through the campaign funds and so on. and of course there's

a strategic alliance that we talk about so it's not treated like any other country is a has constantly been exam also because of the part of the holocaust on that history and western guilt over what they couldn't do so in a sense this has shaped a certain way and which was given demanded what i described earlier as a sense of exceptionalism and tighten moment on immunity and of course it has acted with impunity sort of palestinians were deprived of the protection of the law and israel was given this exceptional treatment particularly because it has a powerful lobby also in the us that is a growing movement of solidarity with the palestinians and i hope that that would hold their own. countries accountable and systems of government and this is part as we said of the arab spring where the arab spring has moved and elation to the social media and these global principles and i just think that world of palestine

or the west the apply to humanity as a whole and therefore the exemption of the palestinians from these values and the exaction of israel from accountability for violating these values will no longer be tolerated and. the americans may succeed and having that all not herself and. just found that on the back it was. principle it was but not for long because they would be held accountable by their own people . we thank you for your time thank you very much instead it's nice to me.

feel. the urge. to just say. it's just so. feel. to see. for. the. price and if you. come from phones to try and shoot these.

stunts on t.v. don't come. as broke it off is remaining troops hold out against government forces and nato airstrikes in libya the french president faces a legal battle at home over his country's intervention in the war boyer's claim nicolas sarkozy should be held to account for crimes against humanity committed during the bombing of libya. international efforts stepped up to calm border tension in kosovo or not or locals in or serbs are willing to back down after recent bloodshed he was mulling a proposal to end the deadlock sparked by the violent seizure of two border post by close of business in july. and a statehood showdown at the un as the general assembly gets ready to vote on the status of policy with deep divisions preparing to crack the surface of the u.s. in israel remaining vehemently opposed to giving palestinians a seat at the world body. sports is next stay with us here on r.t.

. hello welcome to the sports news and here are the top stories. chapmans go to danny's late grace help sleep go talk to some pizza specs i come from two goals down to try to treat it with being in the russian premier league. that is slightly feels australian born out of the sexist honest but injured clubs that gave up golf misses out is rushing back in their squad to choose a small cup game against italy. big day for little england some little beast his claims for a european tour card with a one stroke victory at the russian challenge cup. but first of all and in the russian premier league a late brace from danny helps the top of the st petersburg side came from two goals

down to try to straighten out rubin the home side went ahead after five minutes thanks to a retaking. that's not choke in this realm we feel that making no fuss about the second spot then raced through the first half is a nice and rational goalkeeper catastrophic but if there's nothing wrong in playing off the trash it's a gator's that sees the reference to the last time or being second from long range on the face of his latest odds to chooses but within five minutes the man should often launched the senate's comeback the midfielder finishing off a tank the last of which free kick and within eighteen seconds half minutes than the stuff tries to snatch the ring from his knees and gives him a two point buffer at the start right in the persian gulf out to long build up to the match winning goal thirty some chance for that is met. how about the earlier tapes got missed the chance to take they speak what they think is in the long run how to fight back taking one one for i know your stuff from gloucester puts the

every new zealand world cup debut dons russia have announced their squad for their second game against italy in nelson on cheers day and a better starting lineup interludes australia and the coaching staff have made for changes to the team that lost thirty six to the united states in their open up on the first day or so impressed after coming on as a substitute in that game start at number eight which means the thirty eight year old wratislaw got show off the oldest player in the tournament moves to blindside find out what interesting of last ounce of a top off but it's got to the bench one rave reviews for his performance against the americans like a chapter or another she explains why the least i practice until the next starting fifteen. washable world is going to minor injuries so we've decided. to have two big games to be able to meet a match that's one of the object to keep him out of this one which means even be on the bench. on a roll with under eszterhas still out australian born adam burns will win his first

full count for the russians as the court has been hampered by injury since. and the cell block could play a part in those remaining two games and burns who is not a has from russia was delighted to start for his not to mention. play international game playing in a world cup this screening of long dream. last week often feel that we're coming off of being. the star. would like to help russia as much like him and play to my potential so with russia's next call match thing off against italy on choose to oppose we go for the first day off since arriving in new zealand two weeks ago and return for feats took the chance to join some of the squad on the fishing trip. it's been a hard slog for russia's players so far at the rugby world cup training session followed by training session coach ride followed by coach ride however the squad was given a rare treat a day off to enjoy some of the wonderful sights but the picture is region of mold

row which lies part of the south island. a number of the players took up the opportunity to go on a fishing trip and the props a gaping hole of it sailed against the united states last time outs it was just a relief to get out of the hotel environment. well it's already annoying having to team hotel along the route if you like that cargo you look only a bit to be there is knowing to demons in the hotel and it's nice to fish and calm nerves i don't burns russia's lot of qualified to play for the bears for his grandmother who was russian was more successful than most unlike his colleague in the back surrogate he could have been happier being out in the great outdoors but i was like you don't have her it's called a merry chase never seen one before obviously you see on fish. got out of your design all apparently we're having for lunch now in the buggy so we'll see what the qualities are of its. place. so you.

you gotta love it being strong. it's a passion that we have. we share and. love being on the water and generally fishing is one thing that comes naturally to me. the food was a welcome change for the players who've been used to the same diet for the last three months but it's called members even got to eat some of the fish because it's done burns could have quite a promising career as a fisherman if he ever decides to give up rugby when he retires local crew were on hand to teach those players who are less uncomfortable with a rod in their hands oh of of he needed no introduction. to feature i see i do not often give the chance in russia when i have free time there was to be one last treat for the players and afraid of catching their own dinner was not enough to mob resounds is home to

a large part of dolphins you seem to take great interest in the russian boats much to players delights would have been varying degrees of success among some players in terms of how many fish there manage to catch but most important thing it's been a wonderful relaxation great for players as takes their minds off for a world cup one of their senior parts of new zealand but never less attention will now turn to choose his match against italy or the team will start training in earnest on monday richard wolffe lead r.t. picked in new zealand. and finally to golf where the russian state of the european challenge to playing to an end with englishman little racking up instead to victory after a tight battle. some little had made a big move up the leaderboard on the third day of the russian challenge cup as the englishman climbed sixteen places to take his share all believe with sweep bel-air and austria's florian pregnant the thirty six year old was in search of a third challenge to a win on the final day which would secure him

a place in the on board and top twenty in the car to return to the european tour and a londoner in next five birdie is in two bodies on the front nine to extend his lean mean while lils compared to a down to johnston who was fourth before the final round there to put some pressure on the leader with a needle only fifteen in the long buried part on the eighteenth challenge to a real key johnston was trailing to a little bit just a stroke. and little had to make at least point on the last hole to secure a victory but he made no mistake and with two words finished closing round with a sixty eight to collect a check for forty thousand you rooms are extremely happy are played very well this weekend. i really enjoy myself so when you. look for to contact again and. main european tour event it's a fantastic place and i'm delighted when sam plays well. for under so there is not

bad in a shot for anderson fair play so. well despite a poor performance on the final day tom if we would still manage to increase his overall lead at the top of the rankings with five and still to go and top twenty finishes still up for grabs for those old boring cards on the europe into your campaign but out of archie. and out of the sports news i think.
