french explorer minister roland jamal says he's ready to defend gadhafi in the international criminal court which is issued a warrant for his arrest but nato will have to first libya's deposed leader is in hiding for good reason. if they find him they'll kill him like bill maher some states are now claiming the right to kill they're going against all international law. images like these are moving frige lawyers to turn against big government because sarkozy faces lawsuits over the birth of ordinary people in libya lawyers here in france accuse the presence of committing crimes against humanity his lawyer calls the libyan war renew vietnam where the u.s. sprayed tens of millions of liters of toxins old crops in the sixty's and seventy's causing brain disorders miscarriages and birth defects to this day. so

they're using missiles with depleted uranium which causes cancer in tripoli i saw people crippled by nato attacks office workers who have nothing to do with the fighting that's why we're seeing president sarkozy for crimes against humanity. first denied this residence where thirteen civilians including four children died then called the place a military command center this journalist went to see what it really housed. videos by the bad guys and cultural moves and everything is nothing nothing military in another attack these wife or child or grandchildren were reportedly killed in their home was accused of deliberately campaign of terror. warnings targeted libya's electricity water and food supply after five months of deadly nato bombs and thousands of deaths. people will stop supporting the regime because they

political analyst michel chossudovsky thinks the russian delegation will have their hands full in syria. any kind of military intervention in syria immediately leads to a scenario of escalation and this is something which hopefully will be addressed by the russian delegation it's the scotians with the syrian authorities but first of all you must clarify well what is the opposite issue there's an opposition within syrian civil society which operates within the confines of the law which has also done a lot with them but then there's an insurgency which is funded and supported by outside forces. this is largely integrated its limits. this as well as muslim brotherhood. and consequently this see is there to be stabilized and create a pretext all responsibility to protect nato intervention in syria.

stay with us here on our t.v. lots more headed your way this hour including our military analyst questioning the cia director's views on the decade long war with al qaeda plus. don't want to miss this one a chat show becomes a brawl when two russian billionaires fail to find common ground on the subject of the global financial crisis and stay with us. for. the. beasts in which bryson. from the still.

stands on t.v. don't come. wealthy british style it's not on. the . market. find out what's really happening to the global economy for a no holds barred look at the global financial headlines to cause a report. for staying with us here on r t key international financial institutions have confirmed that palestine may now be economically strong enough to stand alone as an independent state is as president abbas prepares to bid for full u.n. membership at the general assembly later this week that moves been opposed by israel and the u.s. who claim it would undermine chances to return to peace talks are very important i has more from you. if global politics were sport. the united

nations would be the grand arena. and september would be opening season nearly two hundred of the world's most powerful and not so powerful players descend on new york city gathering in one room for a week's worth of speeches and a chance to grandstand on the international stage nearly ten thousand delegates and two thousand journalists are in town for the general assembly debate but in reality five countries are the ones who really matters russia china france the us and britain the permanent security council members with veto power the real power in united nations resides in the security council and it requires a consensus among the five permanent members and as long as the want one or one or more of the permanent members will go along with something the un's ability to act is limited and no resolutions can succeed if opposed by any of the big five case in

point the current palestinian campaigns for u.n. membership and speak to us and initiative the u.s. publicly supported last year when we come back here next year we can have an agreement that will lead to a new member of the united nations an independent sovereign state of palestine living in peace with israel but this year it's the opposite with washington saying it will veto the palestinian un membership bid warning of additional collateral damage one of the things that i that i hope the palestinian leadership is consider considering is the day after what will happen when after whatever. show we have in the united nations is done. what will change in the real world for the palestinian people. the answer is nothing that sadly ironically the majority of the general assembly supports palestinian un membership the assembly alone with two thirds majority can award nonmember observer status to the power. that it enjoys

and doesn't need security council approval to do so so no one can veto this decision some believe however the un is the wrong forum for resolving need your international disputes it's a very dysfunctional situation and actually the un really isn't the one isn't really the venue even for this the un only gets the sort of hype it's aspects of these fights and deals with them pretty badly to the israeli palestinian problem at the un is mostly theater and this is just one one particularly for a freakish example of it this global gathering attracts the security clouds of madness of a sports championship when it comes to practical outcomes scoring more than a symbolic victory could be unlikely even if there is a permanent member or two or three who believe that the. cost should not be a member of the us. they want it on record but the best majority of the people the

world do believe that it's not the i want you in here gathering all the. i like. wonder if this diplomatic strategy leads to anything more than the event itself. r.t. new york. some experts argue the thrust of u.s. policy in the middle east towards palestine derives entirely from domestic politics and is especially influenced by the israeli lobby in washington a palestinian politician hung on a shroud we use one of them and she accuses the us of a park or city. it is ironic this not withstanding that they look at that ups playing as a way of vindication. democracy and freedom and human rights and human dignity and yet when it comes to the palestinians we are decontextualized. this is very selective this actually because i think out occupiers and. as a domestic issue in the us and has enormous influence on their careers. the

fates of many politicians is not treated like any other country is that has constantly been examined also because of the part of the holocaust on that history and western guilt over what to do so in a sense this has saved a certain bubble and which was given. to man that sense of exceptionalism and community and of course it has acted with impunity so the palestinians were deprived of the protection of the law was given this exceptional but because it has a powerful lobby also and. broken on the basis of that. you can go to full interview with on a shroud. in the next hours program here on r.t. . this week he will discuss serbian back proposals to break

a deadlock in northern kosovo where pristina recently seized two disputed border crossings a move that sparked outrage among local serbs friday nato led forces helicopter any un kosovo customs officials to the previously served controlled frontier in response service of blocking all the roads leading to the crossings belgrade's top negotiator called for calm seeking all sides urging all sides to seek a diplomatic solution has more. as a stand of course of her thirty's with the e.u. and nato forces on one side ethnic serbian protesters on the other before us this is our land territory it's refusing to accept the cause think government's attempts to take control of two border crossings here in the north the protesters are standing fearne at the barricades that they erect is the game of nerves and night the sides willing to back down i don't think anyone in the world can from these

wants to take action for fear it could once again ignite tension. taking place. considering the concerns. i would say of removing those barricades from from the streets and from the main highways it's not for. the funding criticisms that they preach. then each will position with regards to cause you look since said that the monitoring at the customs gate pretty much needed lauren all day that the north pristina acted with in terms of an equipment a plane that belgrade strongly. and this is a serious incident in a serious step back in a long road to full normalization or for our relationship with krishna the second thing is that once you put the custom officers then you will put a flag and you will put the court of arms then you will push the so-called possible
