to russia and iran have agreed to develop the largest think and let deposit take a hit in the islamic republic well not in about twenty minutes time. nine am in moscow i match reza good to have you with us here on r t israel has offered to hold direct talks with the palestinians in new york as tell of it comes to a halt president abbas is ambition to win u.n. recognition the u.s. also opposes the bid in there's been intense diplomacy and of reading a crisis over the move or he's going to ask you churkin to reports on the counter efforts russia is taking to see the plan go through. russian foreign minister sergei lavrov fills an urgent meeting with 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 recognized 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 fever and they have been calling for the full 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 of so it is taking these specific actions to try to get its state recognized within the within the international community so we 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. thank you 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 out white wacky you and she will damage and never fails to impress what happens right here becomes a mirror image of what in good you can gain politics over a hundred and ninety 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 is coming but good. with the gold 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 of the few tricks that have not been performed here yet i think the one that i remember the most i mean

there was could i think with who i guess will never be back again so this becomes memorable because it's a collector's item now his long speech and tearing up tearing up the u.n. charter and falling asleep so we're just record your point you're right could you corner. you on my card to disprove the constitution. the record holder for speech length and indeed and void in the fifty's nobody remembers what he said but they remember that he went on for eight and a half hours exhausted a diplomat collapsed at the podium only to return and carry on the un is really only it's owned by its member states so it's not really anyone's role to you know becoming a westerner and grabs you know you've got to when they're up there they can go as long as they want to can also see whatever they want and accusations often go flying towards the us yes even then ok. now you. read here and it's necessary for 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 people who have from szekely clad carla bruni becoming a headliner for the simple act of showing up to sob leader nikita khrushchev and the allegedly banging his shoe against the podium a grave for colonial slavery that should be buried and people 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 ship banging is never captured on video. over the. media over the t.v. . howl. you can believe in me. to showcase work as deeds officials pull out so-called facts boring accusations backed up by wouldn't feel. the need to invade iraq by

nonexistent weapons of mass destruction but we're giving you our faction conclusions based on solid intelligence they key players come and go. because you have the firm for once. and they just support your team and opens a deal with the fierceness clearly not for into this international political stage drama year after year is the number one guests are asleep. and there's a party. in the west bank israeli settlers police and defense forces are getting ready to bear the consequences of a palestinian aspirations for sovereignty as they expect massive marjorie's in support of the move in a land lines are being quiet alongside the border are his pulse clear as more. there is a growing sense of isolation and money israelis for months they simply named it and

else the timber is here and with it the ease and uncertainty about what to do when palestinians ask the united nations to recognize the state i think the responsible thing to do from the idea of point of view is to prepare for any eventuality prepare for the worst case scenario and hope it doesn't happen the worst case scenario is violence is even talk of a food into farter 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 for now they are throwing. it maybe it's more can for. the very last thing to live if once is a repeat of the chaos at its borders three months. 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 not necessarily very to do with people who have peaceful intentions of mines or 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 crowds are expected to surge forward and palestinians put forward a case at the united nations and the army refused our request for an interview the most they give 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 tore off 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.

and sometimes. it was. because. continue to live. how. he got 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. because. just just by. flower of the. or fall of a billboard it's nine months since the arab spring began and as 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 at this stage before the next middle east crisis policia r.t. is wrong. stay with us here on our t. lots more coming your way including this obama's new tax playing greeted with mixed reaction as some say the government's only have to protect itself instead of making sure the people don't suffer plus the fighters about it finish operate off he's remaining supporters in libya as the west anticipates cashing in on new business opportunities for. wealthy british style. sometimes. market why not. come the. why not what's really happening to the global economy

a recently passing an austerity budget downgrade now means it could be more expensive for italy to borrow money to pay creditors meanwhile stratton greece has been given an ultimatum. and i.m.f. officials to enforce deeper budget cuts if it hopes to avoid going bankrupt early next month this after euro zone there's chose to wait it out till october before ruling on whether to release the next eight billion euro bailout installment experts say more austerity measures they only make matters worse. the reason as and he gave for the actual downgrade from what from a plus to a minus was a political situation is unstable well when has it never been unstable or near the way i think besant be speaking on italy now. and you notice no other agencies have downgraded i'm. sure they're there to their political situation is is it in flux i suppose it will put a fire under them to resolve their political differences but austerity 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 a stereo at a time like the a so you have to inflate the economy you have to create more money you cannot cut back. and so unless the europeans civically the germans stop insisting on a stereo for everyone yes it can get much worse in the u.s. president obama has 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 outlining roughly three trillion dollars in savings or obama explicitly promised to veto any debt reduction legislation that cuts the benefits of failing to include higher taxes on the rich but republicans have described obama's approach as class warfare and libertarian economist lou rockwell believes the president's plan targets the wrong people. we're getting poorer and it's

absolutely true the government connected rich are getting richer so what do we do about that do we punish businessmen who are creating jobs and creating wealth and making things better or do we take some of the stolen goods away from the people of washington away from the oligarchy away from the ruling class i think that's what we have to concentrate on not where the guys at the car which we have borrowed bob was working for and against soros and profit and these guys would not let them try to focus our attention on hating the guts of a guy who wants a bunch of a subway sandwich shops he's not the problem is the solution it's the bankers and all the people who got rich wall street of military industrial complex big pharma it's these kinds of arms of the corporate state but are getting rich far too rich and you know they need to be cut back cutting back cut back government that's what we need to do. the turkish president is in berlin discussing e.u. membership and issues faced by some three million turks who live in germany today
