eight am in moscow i match reza good to have you with us here on r.t. our top story israel has offered to hold direct talks with the palestinians in new york as the jewish state is attempting to halt president abbas's ambition to win u.n. recognition the u.s. also opposes the bid and there has been intense diplomacy to avert a crisis over the move or he's honest i see it you're going to reports on counter efforts russia's taking to see the palestinian plan go through. russian foreign minister sergei lavrov held an urgent meeting with the u.s. secretary of state hillary clinton now members of the delegation are telling us that even though this is a closed door meeting the assumption is that lavrov and clinton were negotiating the future of talks on the israeli palestinian relationships the palestinian bid for statehood at the united nations security council is really stealing the show this year we know that palestinian leader mahmoud abbas is expected to present palestine's bid for recognize statehood to the u.n.

secretary general ban ki moon in the next days to come and this is something that we know israel in the united states are really not favoring they have been calling for the whole to negotiations between israel and palestine to kick start again on a bilateral level this is something that palestine is already seems to be tired so it is taking these specific actions to try to get its state recognized within the within the international community so an extremely busy week lies ahead at the united nations of course often the highlights of the week become speeches of world leaders addressing the general assembly hall and this year is promising to be no exception for a look back at some of the more historic moments that have taken place throughout the last years let's now go to our report if only these walls could talk. a pumped up wow factor and center stage drama would be their story every year for about ten days the united nations becomes

a mecca for world leaders from the confrontational to the surprising to the outright wacky the u.n.g.a. pilgrimage never fails to impress what happens right here becomes a mirror image of what i mean gauging game politics can be over a hundred in one thousand members make up the general assembly to get attention leaders have to get creative if you want a lot of the tension you could try to like streak the united nations nobody nobody has come in but naked. with a goat on their back i mean so far none of this has happened but i wouldn't rule it out in the future that's one a few tricks that have not been performed here yet i think the one that i remember the most i mean there was a kid i think with who i guess will never be back here again so it's becomes memorable becomes it's a collector's item now his long speech and tearing up tearing up the u.n. charter and falling asleep so we have just taken your course you're out of corn. you are. should not be required to support the constitution. and some of the record

holder for speech length and indian envoy in the fifty's nobody remembers what he said but they remember that he went on for eight and a half hours exhausted the diplomat collapsed at the podium only to return and carry on the un is really owned it's owned by its member states so it's not really anyone's role to you know be kanye west and grabs you know you've got to when they're up there they can go as long as they want they can also see whatever they want and accusations often go flying towards the us yes then i came here. to read your work and it's made as a sapphire still today and from the us the greatest obstacle to this future is that your rulers have chosen to deny you liberty and the media obsessed with creating legends out of these performances from szekely clad carla bruni becoming a headliner for the simple act of showing up to solve youth leader nikita khrushchev allegedly banging his shoe against the podium

a grave for colonial slavery it should be buried deep the better half a century later the story is rumored to be a favorite among tourists visiting the u.n. the soviet leader so on says the episode is a legend as the shoe banging was never captured on video shoot the over the media over the. whole. that you can believe in many thing that never to showcase word as deed officials pull out so-called facts sparring accusations backed up by wooden seal. the need to invade iraq by nonexistent weapons of mass destruction we're giving you our faction conclusions based on solid intelligence the key players come and go like. it was you have the firm from one side the other side and they just

happen the voice case scenario is violence there's even talk of a food into fodder these really armies been preparing for months beefing up security on settlements and planting new land mines along israel's northern borders but many complain these missions go too far now they're out of trying to build mines. maybe it's more come for. mines. stripping them. the last thing tel aviv once is a repeat of the chaos at its borders three months ago when hundreds of demonstrators stormed the israeli syrian border in a show of sympathy for the palestinians twenty protesters were killed by israeli fire the area is littered with mines and add a danger to those clamoring the mines are necessarily very to do with people who have peaceful intentions but mines are a legitimate form of the fence many countries have mines on their borders for that reason in one of its internal magazines the israeli army said it was planting new mines in the area as

a deterrent against any future demonstrations that might take place cards are expected to surge forward when palestinians put forward their case at the united nations the army refused of request for an interview the most they gave us was an e-mail response in which they said they were performing ongoing situation assessments and doing everything required in order to ensure that the daily routine and security on israel's northern borders was maintained but it wasn't security there towards the right half of salad bars body he lost a leg and an eye when he picked up a mine when he was thirteen years old it was a moment that changed his life forever. or so what happened to the you and sometimes. it was. because if you. continue to live he.

he got a little sympathy from the israeli government that blamed him for being in an area infamous for mines but instead of hate and anger sally wants his misfortune to be a warning to others and is now dreading what will happen if thousands of people surged towards the borders later this week feel very very very sad because you know or. just. just to. give flowers or a good life for the people it's nine months since the arab spring began and has palestinians lobby the united nations the last of the region's old certainties are being swept away but fears in the region are growing that what happens in new york the stage for the next middle east crisis. israel. stay with us here on r t lots more coming your way this hour including this obama's new tax plan greeted with mixed reaction as some say the government's only out to protect itself

whether to release the next eight billion euro bailout installment for greece but experts say more austerity measures may only make matters worse. the reason that s. and p. gave for the actual downgrade from what from a plus to a minus was the bloody cool situation is unstable well when has it never been unstable in italy i think as and b.'s banking on italy now. and you notice no other agencies have downgraded i'm. sure they're there to their political situation is it in flux size of poe's it'll put a fire under them to resolve their political differences stary is not the way to go the europeans are being run by unfortunately the german banks and the german banks are crying austerity you don't need austerity at a time like this so you have to inflate the economy you have to create more money you cannot cut back. and so unless the europeans specifically the germans

stop insisting on a stereo for everyone yes it can get much worse. in the us president obama's laid out a plan to cut the deficit and revive the economy with the wealthiest americans expected to pay more he said big earners and corporations must pay higher taxes adding that everyone should pay a fair share of lining roughly three trillion dollars in savings obama explicitly promised to veto any debt reduction legislation that cuts in benefits while failing to include higher taxes on the wealthy but republicans have described obama's approach as class warfare and economists lou rockwell believes the president's plan could backfire. those with more of our maloney i mean first of all lisa call the so-called cuts where the one side last month the ones he's proposing are not cuts at all for the rather that are alleged cuts in the rate of increase there aimed at the young entrepreneur as in fact taxes are wealth the structure so anybody proposes more taxes seeks to make those poorer as a group however the elites will make
