of the engine by. close to its stated showdown at the un as the general assembly prepares to vote on the status of palestine who deep divisions preparing to break the surface the u.s. and its rival made vehemently opposed to giving the palestinians a seat at the world body. when the head of the vote in new york sat down with a palestinian politician honey. she believes that getting full member stations will finally allow israel to be held accountable for crimes against the palestinian people and the occupation of that. 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 let's start with one of the most highlighted issues at 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 right now one hundred twenty seven but at the same time we are we have been engaged in the peace process that has taken on over two decades of grow longer and sprawling with 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 and new era and that's why we are going to the international community to say that the palestinian question and the palestinian people have the right to serve become a nation and should be placed within this international context as the essence of

multi-lateralism as the source of international global legislation and the palestinian question must be resolved in accordance with international law 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 we consider going through just through the general assembly is that really in the works well we have many different options and on those and we studied all of them and we're keeping all our options open frankly. speaking recurs if we go through the security council process that actually that means we want different objectives and we certainly don't want to have a confrontation with the us but they're the ones who are choosing a confrontation over something that is actually part of their own policies and that on the clegg principle is we could also go to the journalist humbly and ask for upgrading of our status for greater recognition and then ask for support for our

bid 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 us wants to isolate itself on the wrong side of the law it could be it's joyce or we could go in directly to the security council and also fortified by a positive resolution and that's an assembly and then again the present out of it but as i said there are many many options and we're keeping them all up open like going through the security council going through the general assembly would mean a nonmember state status for palestine. would be important that's very important because 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 declared i'll tell you tory as occupied territory not disputed territory and therefore up for grabs it would declare it is true slim as occupied not as the eternally unified capital of israel 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 driving israel and the us absolutely insane when talking about accountability because they don't want any kind of accountability for israel whether through you and human rights organizations like the un council on human rights or whether the international criminal court the international court of justice they just want to ensure that israel continues to act outside the number of the law you mentioned access you want to situations if we look for example at the

international criminal court access to that what kind of really impact would 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 a worker 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 a collective crime against the palestinian people so aftermath equally we can start a suit and law cases against not just the government right there gets even on settlers and the settlers 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 to us that it's released must be changed

to be taken to paradise superman. on their way to peace who is strong enough do you think to forge a chain letter but look i think. it's a modern power more than anything it's. seems to me that if you can use your powers of persuasion and humanity for the israelis to understand that the land grab their greed for the land control for subjugating and other people is the strategic liability for israel it's. russian political legal human decision you have to think about the consequences of your actions that 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 but there is a time in which all these things will end then you will be held accountable like any other country and you cannot continue in slab enslaving people whatever and

getting away with it so it's a question of persuasion and looking clearly 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 ventures policies of of control and oppression. of land and so on and then the lathe 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 slowed down and then disappointment because he theys the

expectations and every right of ways starting with ending all settlement activities to acting decisively in peacemaking to basing all peacemaking on international law and multilateralism and to building the palestinian state on the sixty seven boundaries so having the negative on most all these things that he has created a sense of let down among the palestinians the arabs even there were people of good conscience who expected obama to live up to his promises and whose 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 weakest part because we do not have any kind of power or weapons around and so he'll be seen as sort of not just pulling the palestinians

but he'll be seen as weighing in on the side of an illegal situation and he'll be undermining the standing and credibility and the u.s. in the region and throughout the world other brokers russia the european union united nations they have really in place in. place what they're trying to do is very dangerous because the u.s. in many ways has changed its policy to accommodate this extreme government not only that but it was trying to put pressure on the quartet accept this position. you enter something again by saying the students in particular on the e.u. by asking them to change the longstanding policy on the two state solution and so on and jerusalem and 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 of a nation so by adopting the israeli position and then trying to solve the root of

the quartet the u.s. is is leaving destroyed and rebuilt the system as well as a political system and run as a human and credit of thieving and just what do you think americans and some european countries have been willing to welcome the arab spring and yet palestine self determination is seen as something pretty much an acceptable by the united states in particular it is ironic this notwithstanding that look at the arab spring as a way of vindication. i have towards democracy and freedom and human rights and human dignity and yet when it comes to the palestinians we are decontextualized we are ignorant this is very selective this is actually because i think out occupied israel. is a domestic issue and. has enormous influence on. the fates of many politicians through elections access to the media. campaign finance

and so on. and of course this is the trickle and for people. it would like any other country. discuss the example also because of the power of the holocaust not on the history of western again over what they do so in a sense. shaped by certain bubble in which was given demanded what i described earlier as a sense of exceptionalism and then type unity and of course it has acted with impunity so the palestinians were deprived of the protection of the law and very was given this exceptional treatment particularly because it has a powerful lobby also in the us there is a growing movement of solidarity with the palestinians and i hope that that would hold that own. countries accountable or systems of government and this is part

of the arab spring where the arab spring has moved. into the social media and these global principles through the other world both understand. like the humanity as a whole and therefore the exemption of the palestinians from these values exemption from accountability for violating these values will no longer be tolerated. the americans may succeed in having their own into. come on back. up and suppose but not for long because breakthrough would be held accountable by that on torture and on the show we thank you for your time with us today thank you very much once that's nice to me to.

sleep. let's just say. look it's. wealthy british soil in some places but i'm tired of the political. hype. markets.

so i know what's really happening to the global economy for no holds barred look at the global financial headline news to the reports. a scandal has outpaced remaining troops against government forces and nation as fights in libya the french president faces a legal battle over my face coming into best of little boys playing a class i personally prefer alex will come on to get schematics and commits if you in that moment you can look young. and sasan efforts are being stepped up to combine with his hands to survey we need the locals know suggs a winning it's a back down offer to do some projects between these mall and places and the deadlock spawned by the modern seizure of seaboard of homes by cost winston's and. lots of the states and showdown of the un is the general assembly prepares to vote

on the stage of the palestine the deep divisions compared to the great stuff that's the u.s. and israel may be in the opposed to giving the palestinians a see how the world order. for us. thank you alice how long will this for something you're not seen and iraq the top stories this hour russian prime illegal dates allay doubled lifetime e-books and the tempers of the table while boardwalk only the says down moscow slid down to the . real madrid go down to meet table evolving on sunday while sponsors on the score eight against the sooner in the people but we can section. england sound little versus claims for a european so with he wants the picture and the russian challenge cup and also more

gulf news coming up shortly. but first a bit of basketball as russia clinched the brawns of the european championships that wrapped up in lithuania on sunday they did lot school beating macedonia seventy two sixty eight to get on the roads even though the final meanwhile the main decided example of the band their title against france juan carlos navarro named the final and we believe the top scoring everyone with twenty seven points. let's move on to russian for below and a late brace from donny how does indeed go top of the premier league the reigning champions coming from two girls down to edge out rubin the hosts want to head off the five minutes thanks terry taken pounds and five infrastructure. that midway through the needs and us international goalkeeper dislikable i think rolling in playing the splash is the biggest that seize the moment to blast home rubin second goal from long range with no i think of substance use is after was however within five minutes i'm sure a lot of launched in that column back of the midfielder finishing off a done for

a kick that set up the gap and within eighteen seconds help minutes danis struck twice to snatch a late swim for the visitors an example of how long in the build up for the match winning goal john was. well it is man take it three two and move alone at the top of the premier league standings line two points ahead of do not more still. and that's partly because says scum is their chance to take a three point lead over the needs in the day and ask about it's had to fly back for a one all joy lowly us told me pretty cool gloss pull that has to had after just five minutes the ladies lose the steam did finally manage to love all and that will make the league's top scorer saved blume big capitalized and some defending to save his side's blushes one always finish the result insurance's costly. so it's not as i've said his it's seconds after twenty four weeks following a three nil home victory over car ukraine international strike on the water on me and grab it open after just and then as following came in crying he's back you

cross it in short maybe two zero fifteen minutes after the names of all the people possible new cry chick complained to the jobbing with a had a four minutes from time so for a male did not know in this one. and it's not the most go side spartak trousers really as i get left with the same school line in the farewell much of their former talismanic campton and they seek on the netherlands midvale the day me does their school days first go for the red wise after three minutes now still in the opening half ireland star aiden mcgeady also now is best but only since returning from injury and the retiring to one of those they have a provider there before going off the pitch to a standing ovation after the first stuff them with ten minutes to go summer signing and i am unique here act of the comprehensive scoring with his second goal in his many matches korea offering almost no resistance to concede this one free meal for how it sounded. elsewhere on sunday denise wishart school five home to first off

balance is to live with my season over to dick and could wind be expanding on dream one nil. and over in england wayne rooney's. his ninth goal of the season is much the one to be chelsea three one of the old trafford going two points clear of the talk afterwards to buy your struck a second hard brace helping spurs their big win over nine men liverpool also on the busy day full of scored twice in the second half is now back trying to down against the seams and sunderland heat all the goals within the first hour of play as they thrashed stoke four zero. in spain real madrid have been knocked out by your point is the last wrong and one of sunday fixed as sole goal coming in the sixty eighth minute labonte converting one of their few strikes on go and managed to hold on to that one merely handing the dri a first loss of the primera liga season frustration for coach josep more you.

missed actually following saturday's goal fest that they know how it's barcelona humiliated us assume the firing home eight times without supply five of those goals just two man david facing a brace while neil massacred in a hat trick fabregas and harvey also on the school should get loans big victory and one of those goals was a no one by us assume the player rivera. arsenal on a back to winning ways after a couple of jewels and eight mil results is a record tying school teams to get loans beat la grone is with the same margin back in one nine hundred ninety six while also assume the previously lost eight mil to real madrid over half a century ago. now russia's second game of the rugby world cup will begin stupidly on tuesday several changes have been made to the school that's had its first day off since arriving in new zealand and fortnight ago and archie's reach is going to flow to the chance to join some of the players on a 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 picturesque region of no growth which lies at the top of a so file and. a number of the players took up the opportunity to go a fishing trip and for props to get the pull of excelled against the united states last time outs it was just a relief to get out of a hotel environment. well it's already annoying maybe because team hotel along the routes you feel like you did cargo you look on live t.v. there is no entertainment in the hotel and it's nice confusion and to come nerves out and burns rushes a lot because it's a plate of a bed for his grandmother who was russian was more successful than most unlike his colleague in the pax he could have been happier being out in the great outdoors but

i was like you got her it's called a merry chase never seen one before or see a new zealand fish. but. you didn't like her we're in for lunch now in the buggy so we'll see what the qualities are of this. so your question of are you doing rather being extra i am. it's a question that we've. we share and be of 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 of the squad members even got to eat some of the things straight courts held up numbers could have quite a promising career as a fisherman if he ever decides to give up rugby when he retires the local crew were on hand to teach both players who were less from comfortable with a rod in my hands oh of of he. he needed no introduction just because the guy like

a fish do not often get a good chance in russia for a time there was to be one last treat to the clay is it the thrill of catching their own good or was not enough the mob resounds is home to a large pot of gold pins and seem to take great interest in the russian boats much to the players to lloyd's while they're going varying degrees assess songster players and those are many things should they have managed to catch for most important thing it's been a wonderful relaxation break for players as they swear mines of rugby world cup one of the scenic parts of new zealand but not all less attention will now turn it so chooses march you can see italy where the team will start training in earnest monday troublefree picked in new zealand. now a goal of justin rose as one to be a championship with an even qualifying round of seventy one rose found himself five shots ahead of closest challenger johnson not just seven hills and even a bogey on the fifteenth or did preventing him from clinching a fair p.g.a.

tour victory and also collect a cool one point forty four million dollars in the biggest prize money out of his career in the meantime a number of players have locked their spots on the presidents cup teams with the captaincy to announce the last few picks up that this week's to a championship tiger woods will likely be given carte blanche by fred couples on the lewis roster as one of those late picks. the same with golf where the russian state of the european challenge still finished on sunday can stand up and has the details. some little head made a big move up a little board on the third day of the russian challenge cup as the englishman coined sixteen places to take a share of the lead with a 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 all important top twenty and

a card to return to the european tour and a londoner and mixed five birdies and two bodies on the four inclined to extend his lead meanwhile lils compared to a down to johnston who was fourth before the final round dared to good some pressure on the leader with an eagle on the fifteenth in the lawn burry brought on the eighteenth challenge to johnston was trailing to lille wait just a stroke. and little head to make at least ply on the last hole to secure three but he made no mistake and with two words finished the closing round with a sixty eight to collected check for forty thousand euros extremely happy played very well this week in war. i really enjoy some fantastic venue and. come back again her. main european tour of and it's a fantastic place and delighted to win and played well. for under

a days not bad in a shot four under so i first played. well despite a poor performance on the final day tom if we were still managed 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 european tour compound out of. and the thousands this hour kind of shot out of this is the weather stay with us. the bring you the latest in science conflict and from the ground. we've got the future of coverage.
