stuporous in the song. starts on t.v. dot com. it's our past our must say this is our team gadhafi loyalists are keeping up the fight in libya but the country's interim leaders are struggling to former players meanwhile the french president could face a legal battle at home obey his country's actions in the end. the calling for calm over the ethnic tension that erupted when the supposed these two checkpoints on its northern border with some of it lead to serve the caving the approach roads meanwhile belgrade's top make you see it is all sides see as the most it solution. on the palestinians are set to take center stage in new york this week to try and

secure state recognition of all the wide support getting to clash with a veto wielding directs the world's key financial institutions an independent palestine will be strong enough to keep. our head of the un vote we've been hearing from those making that call me a politician explains one full member stages will finally hold israel to account for its actions and organizations. archie 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 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 and 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 a peace process that has taken on over two decades of grow longer than and stalling with israel creating facts on the ground building settlements in a latterly acting from a position of power as an occupier and undermining the chances of peace and the objectives of the two state solution so we have to say that this is a new day it's a new era and that's why we are going to the international community to say that the palestinian question and the palestinian people that i preserve the terminations and should be placed within this international context as the essence of multilateralism as the source of international global legislation and the

palestinian question must be resolved in accordance with international law now the united states has made it more than clear that if you know it's really it's only possible reaction to a resolution of the security council so are there really there are plans reported so that palestine may consider going through just through the general assembly is that really in the works when we have many different factions and on current terms and we started all of them and we're keeping all options open exactly. king repros if we go through the security council passed directly that means we want the 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 lead in suppose we could go also go to the family and ask for upgrading of us status scored greater recognition and then ask for support for our bit 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 u.s. wants to isolate itself on the wrong side of the law it could be its stores or we could go indirectly through the security council also fortified by posit the resolution and that's on the simply. then again the present 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 why would that be important that's very important because although 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 and it would

empower the palestinians and it would also declare our territory as occupied territory not disputed purgatory and therefore up for grabs it would declare its truthfulness occupied not as the eternally unified capital of israel forever and ever and it will lay the foundations of any new solution 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 the international criminal court or international court of justice they just want to ensure that israel continues to act outside the number of the law you have mentioned access to one institutions if we look for example at the international criminal court access to that what kind of really impact will that have for palestine belive that the 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 they walk around 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 automatically we can start a suit and law cases against not just the government but i guess even on settlers and they will be seen as being part of this 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 post palestinian politician a bill shot said to us that it's released must be changed to be taken to paradise and superman. on their way to peace who is strong enough do you think to forge

a chain like that look i think it's a modern power more than anything and it's. seems to me that if you can use your powers of persuasion and humanity for the israelis to understand that. their greed for the land of control for subjugating and other people is really a strategic liability for its. rational political legal human decision you have to think about the consequences of your sins but you cannot for ever claim to be above the law and claim to be exempt from any accountability and claim legal impunity and preferential treatment that there is a paradigm 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 the 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 adventurous policies out of control and oppression left of land and so on and then they lay the problem which is going to be further confrontations violence on 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 real disappointment because he theys the expectations and what i took place starting with ending all settlement activities

to acting decisively in peacemaking to basing all of peacemaking on international law and multilateralism and to building the palestinian state on the sixty seven mongers so having it in length on lost all these things that he has created a sense of letdown among the palestinians the arabs even there won't people of good conscience who expected obama to live up to his promises and whose values and principles. other than through 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 . thing so he'll be seen as sort of not just pulling the palestinians but he will be seen as weighing in on the side of an illegal situation and he'll be undermining

the standing and credibility and risks of the u.s. in the region and throughout the world other brokers russia the european union united nations have really in place. what they're trying to do is very dangerous because the u.s. in many ways has changed its policy accommodate this extreme government and 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 are in their view on the e.u. by asking to change a longstanding policy on the two state solution and so on and jerusalem and the legality of settlement and of course that has taken a very clear stance on the basis of international law and palestinian rights including terminix and so by adopting the israeli position and then trying to show that the throat of the quartet the u.s. is is really destroyed the system as well as

a political system run every human and predator of achieving access 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 very much an acceptable by the united states in particular it is ironic that will stand. look at the arab spring as a way of of indication. 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 actually because. our occupied israel. is that but mr sharon. has enormous influence on because he is. the fates of many politicians through elections access to the media through the campaign funds and so on. and of course there's a strategic alliance for people. like any other country. discuss the

example also because of the part of the holocaust but it's a. western girl of about the truth or in a sense. shaped a certain bubble in which was given. what i described earlier as a sense of exceptionalism and then fighting moment and unity and of course as i did with impunity the palestinians were deprived of the protection of the law and was given the exception and it went particularly because that's a powerful lobby or. 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 the arab spring has moved and elation to use the social media and these global principles they don't exist for the arab world of palestine. like

the humanity as a whole and therefore the exemption of the palestinians from these values and the exemption from accountability for violating these values will no longer be tolerated. the americans may succeed in having their own medicine. but on the ground it was. principles but not for long because they would be held accountable by the. we thank you for your time thank you very much from the state it's nice to me. please. please.

her. posts. just say. thanks. six. years today violence is once again flared up saying these are the images the world has been seeing from the streets of canada asked. for

a chatroom to see. you know it's the keeping up the price in libya but the country's interim leaders are struggling to pull my cabinet meanwhile the french president could face a legal battle it home over his country's actions in the. palestinians are set to take center stage in new york this week to try and secure statehood recognition although the wide support they gas in compliance with the saying we'll be the last the world's key financial institutions say at independent palestine will be strong enough to. leave the car maybe the ethnic tension the rocks when something seems to checkpoints on the on border with serbia and lead to serbs blockading the approach roads being involved belgrade to talk again seasons if you will finds to

see its informatics in the. field is it out of the balls for us to get to see the second of all the cities of finally on top of the russian footballing charts exactly right for months and months to moscow having the team no longer team from c.p.s. they are making all the running at the moment we've got the story of the weekend plus the rest of the sport all this in just a second. thanks for joining us this is sports and we have got plenty ahead feud sit back relax and it's all coming up right. tipping controls any claim so ownership of the russian premier league summit after long time leader sask our record third straight game with ice and when. seconds are russia for much number two at the rugby world cup it's only the team who lie in wait for the birds

and choose their. living at large and even some little boosts his claims for a european tour card to the north of the crease of the russian challenge cup. but first let's get a basketball update where russia have wrapped up their european championship campaign with a bronze medal finish david plotz men beating macedonia seventy two sixty eight to reach the lowest room on the podium their victors in the semifinals france had to settle for silver in the grand final later tonight spain the side successfully defending their crown courtesy of a thirteen point win. brings us on to football where system not schools months long reign at the top of the russian premier league is over is the need to know the team to catch though their rise to the summit over the weekend was four from straightforward fellow title challengers rubin taking the lead in their clash five minutes into the good us jews penalty the hosts then doubled their lead

a quarter of an hour later sergei histrionic taking full advantage of the russian international call keeper fear have left sprawling on the turf after a collision to no however within five minutes from. launch there's a neat comeback the midfielder launching onto it and kill lots of its free kick to cut the deficit and then within eighteen second half minutes portuguese danger man danny had sealed the deal typical direct running from the midfielder leading to two goals from him on the three two scoreline the way it would finish by letting his charges bust secure their third win in four games it's. system also helping top for months heading into the weekend for the draw start seeing them slide to joint second alongside near neighbors. to me tree crews love putting the home side ahead for just five minutes with the unit's team not able to conjure up an

equaliser until an hour later the league's top scorer seafood dombey s even his side's blushes one one hundred finished up in sight west which. brings us nicely on to. russia are gearing up for only their second ever world cup game the birds take on its lee and choose their thawing defeat to the u.s. in their opening pool stage march on as richard van porte fleet reports the russians are going to have their work cut out for them if they want to become the first team making their made an appearance in the competition to win again. chooses much of it really remains russia's best hope of winning a game is tournament following their opening day defeat to the united states however this is going to be a tall order as the italians are one of world rugby's more established nations the bears opponents have made wholesale changes for the match but russia's coach nicholai needle still expects a very tough encounter because they don't want to admit that it's every three

minutes or an immense have thirty players at their disposal and i don't think outearning some of them will change anything significantly in fact if we use a few players from the bench it might well be beneficial for us as replacements want to prove that they deserve a place in the starting line up. of the italian strength is definitely their pack i'm a scrum is one area where russia particularly weak and a lot of them burns will be winning his first full capital bears and he's this is the main area where russia will have to watch out. carefully their scrum moves plus. the top few of the world so. it's going to be a point of. we're going to have to try and get some sort of parity or at least go. between scrum and also a lot of very strong point for them and they said bruce rushes back plays definitely best strength how of a tale to create many attacking opportunities against us this man the senior team

if hardly had a touch of a ball in that opening encounter and he like the rest of it seen we praying for the rain to stay away unlike in new plymouth and the bears coaching staff believe attack could be the best. form of defense against the italians so moved. because unfortunately we failed to demonstrate that in our opening game against the united states the more you control the ball the more you're attacking the less you have to defend it would succeed with those tactics it's morrow's game should be thrilling. to show that no one is expecting russia's win unlike big game against the usa but the bears had a decent chance of getting a victory and kept him by his live caution of police the lack of pressure could play into bad hands. or wouldn't truth i think that now would be less pressure on us from the outside and from the media and that should give the team the opportunity to play in a more relaxed manner. where i was still very high in the russian camp of the

players firmly believing they have a chance of pulling off a picture ie richard managed to do so window to be the shock of the world cup so far a lot of the disappointments of their opening day defeats of us say the russians are going to be hoping for a much more positive result against italy this time our lives will spike entirely ins who are going to be filling out what is essentially going to be a second string fifteen they're still going to be hope favorites and russia are going to have to play out of their skins and hope for a little slice of luck as well and they're going to have any chance of winning richard. nelson new zealand let's get together that was the message following a joint meeting of russia and ukraine's olympic officials today at the grandly named memorandum of cooperations aim is to quote share and succeed russian olympic committee president aleksander to craft ukrainian. booka the man doing the necessary in moscow by law for all competitions technical and scientific collaboration you can quote exchanges just some of the ideas to kick into action

over the next three years the rest of the season celebrated their best ever world athletics results after years of a little bit under. let me stateside where with two of the n.f.l.'s. season saw some of the early favorites stretch their wings including the hawks who won the battle of the big birds against philadelphia the game notable four star quarterback michael vick returned to atlanta with his new eagles team on the thirty one year old didn't wait around to make his mark throwing his first of two touchdown passes midway through the opening quarter to tie the game seven seven zero in the third quarter vick would have to leave the game this knock ending his participation with his philadelphia taking the lead while he was being treated on the sideline but that advantage was until last vick's opposite number mike ryan laying the ball off for his fourth t.d. pass here michael turner the man really in full can stick it thirty five twenty.

over old favorites for super bowl success this year new england to me to cheer wins from two this season with victory over sunday a go tom brady very much all that much in massachusetts with the three time n.f.l. champion for a week for three touchdowns on a moment four hundred twenty three yards in total though his team's defense run close in the honor stakes turning chargers ball over three times leading to seventeen. points the pots eventually taking the contest thirty five thirty twenty . hitting the greens our justin rose has come march on talk about the big money b.m.w. championship winning by two strokes in chicago rose finding himself five shots ahead of the challenger john senden after the seven holes on the final day and even in the fifty percent to thirty one you will find ensure his third p.g.a. tour victory karting thirteen overall the briton also not showing the biggest

payday of his career almost one point five million dollars a number of players also lost their spots on the presidents cup to use where one of her cakewalk against world select tiger woods really didn't play with the weekend but the californian could yet be one of us company for a couple picks from. let's they would call finally where the biggest event on the russian calendar teed off this past weekend sir a correspondent constantly but kept track of all the goings on in the region including this final day. some little had made a big move up the little boards on the third day of the russian challenge cup as the englishman climbed sixteen places to take his share of the lead with a swede bel-air barrett 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 on paul and top twenty and a car to return to the european tour and

a londoner in next five birdies in two bodies on the form nine to extend his leave meanwhile lils can go to a down to johnston who was fourth before the final round there to put some pressure on the leader with an eagle on the fifteenth in the long birdie point on the eighteenth challenge to a real key johnston was trailing to a little bit just a stroke. and little had to make at least quiet on the last hole to secure a victory but he made no mistake and with two words finished recording round with a sixty eight to collect a check for forty thousand euros extremely happy i played really well this weekend . i really enjoyed myself so fantastic when you. come back again and. maybe a main european tour of and it's a fantastic place and a lot of the way it's played well. for under but today is not where the nation for

on the first place. well despite a poor performance on the final day if only it would still manage 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 container above r t. yeah great weekend off all right and there that is all the sports like whether it's next season. me it seems to. me to be. able to. see.
