back draft which targets damascus and urges president assad to step down. michel chossudovsky says the russian delegation will have his hands full with syria. any kind of military intervention in syria immediately leads to a scenario of escalation this is something which hopefully will be addressed by the russian delegation in its discussions with the syrian authorities well first of all we must clarify what is the opposition there's an opposition within the syrian civil society which operates within the cold poise of the law which has also dialogue with the kill them and then there's an insurgency which is so one bit and supported point both sides force of. this insurgency is largely integrated quite islam is just it's a joke others for but some like this as well as muslim brotherhood. and consequently this insurgency is there to destabilize to create

a pretext for responsibility to protect nato intervention in syria. while they're still much admi this hour including r.t. heading down this question the cia director david petraeus has been on the decade long war with al qaeda. to challenge a turns into a brawl when c. russian psyche was failed to find common ground on the subject of global financial crisis. key international financial institutions have confirmed palestine is now economically strong enough to stand alone as an independent state that this president prepares to bid for full u.n. membership in the general assembly later this week and we've been strongly opposed by israel and the you asking me a bit on the mind chances of a return to please tell me why not expand. if global politics were

a 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 to meet but in reality five countries are the ones who really matter russia china france the us and britain the permanent security council members with veto power the real power in the 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 won't 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 campaign for u.n.

membership and statehood an initiative the u.s. publicly supported last year 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 did warning of additional collateral damage one of the things that i that i hope the palestinian leadership is considering is the day after and 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 palestinian. it's like the vatican injuries and does it 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 major 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 aspects of these fights and and deals with them pretty badly to the israeli palestinian problem at the u.n. it is mostly theater and this is just one one particularly for a freakish example of it this global gathering attracts the security clouds and media madness of a sports championship but 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. palestine should not be a member of the un. they want it on record but the vast majority of the people the world do believe that it's time the i want you i'm here gathering all the. like.

wonder if this simple diplomatic strategy leads to anything more than the event itself. r.t. new york. the thrust of u.s. policy in the middle east region tools palestine derives. from domestic politics and was especially influenced by the powerful israeli lobby in washington. politician who. uses the us policy. it is ironic this is not a stand to look at that ups plane as a way of vindication towards democracy and freedom and human guides and human dignity and yet when it comes to the palestinians we contextualized we have removed this is very selective this actually because i think. as a domestic issue in the us and has enormous influence on their careers. the

fates of many politicians so it's not like any other country is a has constantly been exempt also because of the part of the holocaust on the history of western guilt over what they would do so in a sense this has shaped by certain bubble in which was given and demanded some some exceptionalism and then community and of course it has acted with impunity so the palestinians were deprived of the protection of the law was given this exceptional particularly because it has a powerful lobby and the u.s. carriers are broken on the basis of. what's the feeling with palestinians. politician hunter in our next hour as program . here this week you will be back proposals to break

a deadlock in northern kossovo. two disputed border crossings the response outrage among locals on friday nato forces helicopters in your own class and customs officials to the previously controlled funk here in response all roads leading to the crossings top negotiated can all sides to seek a diplomatic solution r.t. sara for planes. as stand of course of the thirties with e.u. and nato forces on one side ethnic serbian protesters on the other before us this is our land our territory it's refusing to accept the cause thing government's attempts to take control of two border crossings here in the north the protesters are standing firm at the barricades they erected this is the game of nerves. willing to back down i don't think anyone in the world can come to these people

here in the north and you've got. to go home and accept that you're living in the ground and they will not do it the time being the protesters. you don't have to look hard to see signs of the underlying tensions here all along the roads here in the north you come across these makeshift roadblocks serbian people using gravel rocks bits of words whatever they can get their hands on really to disrupt the flow of traffic in this area protesters about that blocks will remain in place until a dialogue begins about the man the border posts and what will happen with the revenue collected from the customs tax. not going to move until a solution is reached for both sides the situation right now is unacceptable back in july violence erupted when the authorities tried to take control of the border posts. after cosden prime minister that she wanted to trade down and serbia the conflict resulted in the death of the policemen now neither side wants to take

action for fear it could once again ignite tension consuming major events were taking place right now considering concerns. population living. removing those barricades from the streets and from the main highways it's not for the small it's not a priority of. course all the funding criticisms that they breached then each will position with regards to cause you look says that the monitoring it because of them skate bring much needed law and order to the north pristina acted within terms of an agreement a claim that belgrade strongly. this is a serious incident and the serious step back along the road to formalisation or for relationship with regime to continue is that once you put the cross them officers then you will put a flag and you will put the court of arms then you will put. more laws and then

people who live here will be circled by something that looks like. this you became a fixer there's now talk among serbians of building new roads bypass the checkpoints because then authorities refused to leave so the time being the border crossing remains bloke's and there are many obstacles that only to be overcome on the road to finding a resolution so. we have more. cars on our website you r.t. dot com here's a little of what you want mine right now i don't mind tree standing where forest once grew has become a symbol of hope and our country was ravaged by now disasters we're all about. amity video of an era displayed. tend to tragedy in the u.s. when a vintage plane crash into the crowd and write a letter to be found all the time.

richest and the most turbulent shocks. to russian cosmonauts of back in moscow officer and eventful journey and albeit on a difficult landing in kazakstan their return was spoken by more than a week and its safety concerns following the recent failure of a cargo resupply ship that fell back to earth in late august. as the space arms are. the two russian cosmonauts that returned back to worth on friday have been talking about their experiences while on board the i.s.a.'s but they were up there the nearly six months so as you can imagine with only four days to get used to way back on earth it has taken some getting used to. i was afraid my first moves on earth would be clumsy and difficult but it turned out to be not the bird controlling my body was challenging i wanted to turn around but i could only walk straight despite my intentions it's much more stressful to land on earth and to leave it was a very eventful six months that they were in for the international space station

this three key incidents that occurred while they were up there they were they were course there for the progress module that crashed that was heading up to supply the i s s with water with oxygen and they talked about how that affected them on board we spoke at great length about it from here on the earth but they were saying is terms of food water and supplies too much however it did affect them in terms of their experiments that they were doing that was equipment was being carried on the progress module it was intended to help contour those experiments that were going on up in space to make our lives here on earth all that better a lot of that equipment can get those experiments now they were also up there for the final talking all the nasa space shuttle and station lantis talked on the eighth of july and left on the joy a big part of the last time for it now the cosmonauts are saying that this was a very very sad experience it was quite similar in their eyes to when the media space station finally fell out of commission a real end to

a chapter in space exploration history you know the main celebration of their time when the on board the international space station was of course you reason night the twelfth of april fifty years since you could go and set off to become the first man in space that was of course hugely celebrated on board the space station the internet. space station containing people from japan people from america of course russians as well during that celebration so they were it was a real international affairs this is what it was the cause not to say. it's especially nice to know that countries other than russia respect to this holiday we received lots of warm wishes and greetings were true russians we took private duty to go in with our countrymen our ship was called to go and so the flight was filled with a holiday spirit while alexander some a could have been under polishing to get used to life but here. they recognize the the celebration it was your garbage first like

fifty years ago the star city be sure but r.t. . to deal with the financial crisis of course many just around the world but russian billionaires have taken the debates to whole new level teach our kids came to blows at a recording of a talk show for one of their main it's how this is a property developer. and media mogul i was on the level of. british newspapers but this is not i have been arguing throughout the program that the situation really got out of control are wrong. because i wanted to quantify in the face words that clearly planted an idea and eleven as mine said here's what happened next. i work to the upper. class not what we're expected to see i do think ok on the way crosstalk examines whether recognising an independent palestine will make any material difference countries will refuse to accept it now they will bring

all their. thanks allison a warm welcome to business r.t. the inks barely dry on the deal puts the seal in the south stream gas pipeline and already russian companies are rubbing their hands with glee expecting an avalanche of construction contracts at russian pipe producer t.m. kay says it's going to be a boom time for the company. look out of the group here it is delivered you could resign so it's difficult to give any details because of course we were engaged in the projects under getting prepared for it. as we were going to two three years. of. the signing of the st pipeline deal spells bad news for ukraine when completed russian gas supplies to europe will bypass ukraine and reduce its ability to leverage discounts and with the possibility of no gas to transfer to europe kiev

says it might have to close part of its network ukrainian engine minister unit boyko says the fair price that the ukraine is paying for russian gas should be around two hundred dollars per thousand cubic meters and thirdly ukraine is paying almost double that. it's moved to the markets now while is close to a one week low on speculation that fuel demand will falter amid signs of weakness and only growth and europe and the us in the us and digesting a four percent drop in fuel used in the world's largest consumer of trade down seventy four cents brant just under one hundred twelve dollars for barrels of crude is coming back up european stocks tumbling with financials seeing the biggest drop by stalling five and a half percent in paris the sector lost ground after e.u. talks over us collating debt crisis in greece ended with little progress on saturday. to russia now stocks in russia are indeed also fall include ships are

dipping around one percent at the opening of monday's trading session in moscow russia france is also losing ground slipping more than one percent versus the win since the first minutes of trading reaching the lowest level since the beginning of the year and therefore the difference between the drops here on the r.c.s. and myself if you look at the main movers and energy majors suffering was now down half a percent as russia's log. just world company v.d.c. be on the contrary you compared to swerve and is actually at one point three percent as the company begins consolidating the assets of bank of moscow and eon russia is also in the red that's after the company's first profit rose fifty eight percent to two hundred thirty million. now as the uncertainty persists in the global economy russian investors prefer to buy into the companies which rely mostly on the domestic market but their performance will like their names to the company's

dead drive much of their earnings domestically because we are seeing strong domestic demand if we're not seeing a slowdown in that even against the backdrop of this volatility the sectors that mostly exposed to domestic demand and investors can play our financials our consumers developers transport just give a few names is burbank differently particular bank said last week it is going crazy dividend payout ratio from percent to fifteen percent x. five basis the largest russian retailer along with might need expire we think is unjustly priced at a big discount ramadhan need we think a strong growth opportunities in the business of the company and also in the in the store so we're like x. five losses insurance market is seeing its biggest deal since the crisis number three in the market right there was buying a twenty five percent locking stake in a small it will be escape but it was expected to be worth around two hundred fifty
