of all we must clarify why it got what is the opposition there's an opposition within the syrian civil society which operates within the called ploys of the law which has also dialogue with the government then there's an insurgency which is so funded and supported by outside forces. this insurgency is largely integrated point is that it's it's a justice movement so like this as well as muslim brotherhood. and consequently this insurgency is there to destabilize to create a pretext all responsibility to protect nato intervention in syria. good to have you this hour general petraeus job as head of cia but what about the word still to be done and if he's an al qaeda get the insider party's message and that's and. it's in russian cosmonauts returned the author

a nailbiting mission with moscow's star city with the details. the u.n. and the world's key financial institutions a palestine strong enough to function as an independent state president of us is due to request full un membership at the general assembly later this week even though the threat of an american veto still hangs in the air his report on iraq spain's position. 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 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 won't 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 and initiative the us 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. 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 think that i hope the palestinian leadership is considered

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 palestinians like the vatican 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 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 at the u.n. is mostly theater and this is just one one particularly for

a freakish example of it this global gathering attracts the security crowds 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 annual u.n.c. a gathering all the. highlights. yet many wonder if this super bowl of diplomatic strategy leads to anything more than the event itself. artsy or. whatever since the arab world erupted there's been a curiosity why do americans support a rebel movements bad from its treatment of palestinians will. eventually israeli lobby on its power to steer washington middle east. his later. it

is ironic this is not a stand to look at that's playing as a way of indication of towards democracy and freedom and human rights and human dignity and yet when it comes to the palestinians will be complex to remove this is very select at this actually because. out occupier is the. but mr sharon and has enormous influence on because he is. the fates of many politicians the us in many ways has changed its policy to accommodate this extreme government can answer not only that but it was trying to put pressure on the quartet to accept this position. and present the gate by saying the students from both of you on the e.u. by asking them to change the longstanding policy of the two state solution and of course that has taken a very clear stance on the basis of international law. rights including but after.

so by adopting the israeli position and then trying to salvage the throat of the quartet the u.s. is distorting legal system as well as political system as well as the human and credit. to being a just peace. that was palestinian politician sharing her views on what statehood recognition would bring to her people with a full interviews here and around twenty minutes time since eighteen for the house . tensions now in northern cos a vote will be discussed this week in brussels as belgrade's top three days later called for calm as you all sighs to seek a diplomatic solution the atmosphere in the region intensified after pushed into but by nato led forces place customs officials in the two disputed border posts previously on the sub control in response serbia located all the roads leading to

the crossings r.t. sarah ferguson all of this highly charged situation. as a stand of course of those thirty's with e.u. and nato forces on one side ethnic serbian protesters on the other for us this is our land territory it's refusing to accept the cause thing government's attempts to take control of t. border crossings here in the north the protesters are standing firm at the barricades that they erect is the game of nerves and night this side willing to back down i don't think anyone in the world can come to these people here in the north and tell them give up. go home and accept that you're leaving them cost even more 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 oh along the roads here in the north you come across these makeshift roadblocks serbian people using gravel rocks bits

of wood 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 it 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 has said that she wanted to trade down in serbia the conflict resulted in the death of the policemen now neither side wants to take action the theory could once again ignite tension or consuming major events or taking place right now considering the console's. population living in. this i would say of removing those barricades from from the streets and from the

main highways it's not for it's not a priority or. defending criticisms. they preach the neutral position with regards to cause you like says that the monitoring of the customs gate 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 in a serious step back in the long road to formalisation or for relationship with regime continues that once you put across them officers then you will put a flag and you will put the cause of arms then you will put your so-called possible laws and then people who live here will be circled by you something that looks like . this you became a construction there's no talk among serbians of building new roads bypass the checkpoints it's because been authorities refused to leave the time being the border crossing remains blocks and there are many obstacles that only to be
