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 called close up a lot of which has also dialogue with the government then there's an insurgency which is so funded and first supported by outside forces. this insurgency is largely integrated like islamists it's a job rather small but some luckless as well as muslim brotherhood. and consequently this insurgency is there to destabilize create a pretext for responsibility to protect nato intervention in syria. still ahead this hour the road blog deadlock in costs approach general petraeus now has to come clean on his instead of the cia but what about the mass back behind

two thousand journalists are in town for the general assembly to debate 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 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 no resolutions can succeed if opposed by any of the big five case in point the current palestinian campaign for un membership and statehood an 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 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 concerned 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 palestinian. it's like the vatican injuries 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 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 deals with them pretty badly to the israeli palestinian problem of the un is mostly theater and this is just one one particularly for a freakish example of it this global gathering attracts the security crowds 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 to go on record but the vast majority of the people the world do believe that it's time the un you're n.g.a. gathering all the headlines i like. many wonder if this super bowl of diplomatic strategy leads to anything more than the event itself. r.t. new york. ever since the arab world around there's been curiosity why the american

supported rebel movements there differ from its treatment of palestinians to some sound with implementing the israeli lobby and its power to steer washington's news on middle east and the case it is. is ironic this that was time to look at the arab spring as a way of vindication towards democracy and freedom and human rights and human dignity and yet when it comes to the palestinians we are decontextualized. this is very select at this actually because they pick out occupied israel and. there's a domestic issue and. has enormous influence on because. many politicians in many ways has changed its policy to accommodate this extreme government minister not only that but it was thing to put pressure on the quartet accept this position. again by saying well it's different from both of you and the

e.u. by asking for a change of longstanding policy on the two state solution and of course the person taken every clear stance on the basis of international law and palestinian diets including that. so by adopting the israeli position and then trying to salvage the throat of the court press the u.s. is really the starting legal system as well as political system as well as the human and credit of achieving a just. kind of theme in politician one hundred. one was stated recognition would bring people and authorities here in around twenty minutes time. tensions in northern quarter of zero will be this in brussels this belgrade top negotiator called for calm all sides to seek a diplomatic solution the atmosphere in the regions intensified after

a push by nato led forces place customs officials on the two disputed border posts previously on this control in response serbia advocated all the roads leading to the crossings. is more on this highly charged situation. as a stand of kosovo thirties with 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 firm at the barricades they erected this is the game of nerves and night the sides are willing to back down i don't think anyone in the world can come to these people here in the north and call them give up. go home and accept that you are leaving them cos they will not do it for the time being the protesters seem calm you don't have to look hard to see signs of the underlying tensions here while

on 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 the blocks will remain in place until a dialogue begins about who man the border posts and what will happen with the revenue collected from the customs tax control we're not going to move until the solutions reached through 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 closer than prime minister had that she wanted to trade down and serbia the conflict resulted in the death of the policeman now neither side wants to take action the fear it could once again ignite tension consuming the. place right now considering the console's. population living in. this i would

say of removing from the streets and from the main home it's not for the small. course or the funding criticisms that they reach the need. position with regards to cause you look says that the monitoring of the customs gate bring much needed law and order that the north pristina acted with in terms of an agreement a claim that belgrade strongly. and this is a serious incidents in a serious step back in a long road to formalisation or for our relationship with regime to continue is that once you put across them officers then you will put a flag and you will put the court of arms then you will push the so-called course walls and then people who live here will be circled by you something do looks like course you will state this you became accepted there's no talk among serbians of building new roads bypass the checkpoints it's because then authorities refused to

leave so the time being the border crossing remains bloke's and there are many obstacles only to be overcome on the roads to finding a resolution so our first course of. well you can always find more heartening stories on our web site r.t. dot com here's a peek i was online right now for you roughly a b.h. experts who use virtual and live simulations to uncover the cause of the yak forty page crash which killed forty four people and it's a. new jersey residents are picking up a hefty four hundred and twenty thousand dollars have for an m.t.v. show in event they weren't even invited see sea world says local taxpayers browse our home along like you to come. if.
