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 and the united states are really not fever and they have been calling for the halted 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 two years let's now go to our report if only these walls could talk.

charter and falling asleep so we have just taken your course you're out of corn. should not be discarded 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. thank you. to be more regular and it's necessary for students 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

responsible thing to do from the idea of sport interview is to prepare for any eventuality prepare for the worst case scenario and hope it doesn't happen the worst case scenario is violence there's even talk of a food into fodder these really armies been preparing for months beefing up security on sixty minutes and planting new land mines along israel's northern borders but many complain these missions go too far now they are trying to woo mines that. maybe it's more comfort for the. very last thing to live if one says a repeat of the chaos had its borders three months or. go 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 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 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 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 new and sometimes. it was. because if you. continue the life he have.

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 very very very very sad because you know or. just just. flowers. would lie for the board 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 will set the stage for the next middle east crisis. r.t. israel. stay with us here on r t lots more coming your way including this obama's

officials to enforce deeper budget cuts if it hopes to avoid going bankrupt early next month this after euro zone leaders 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 it hasn't be gave for the actual downgrade from what from a plus to a minus was the blue equal situation is unstable well when has it never been unstable in italy i think as indeed speaking on italy now. and you notice no other agencies are downgraded i'm. sure they're there to their political situation is it is it in flux size of pose it will 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 the a 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 late of 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 obama explicitly promised to veto any debt reduction legislation that cuts benefits while 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 that 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 in washington

away from the oligarchy away from the ruling class i think that's what we have to concentrate on not let the guys at the top which you know but who obama is working for against soros and then buffett and these kinds of guys not let them try to focus our attention on hating the guts of a guy who owns a bunch of the subway sandwich shops he's not the problem he's the solution it's the bankers and all the people who've gotten rich wall street the military industrial complex big pharma it's these kinds of arms of the corporate state that are getting rich far too rich and you know they need to be cut back come back cut back government that's what we need to do. the turkish president is in berlin discussing e.u. membership any issues faced by some three million turks who live in germany today culturalism debate comes at a time when the country is marking fifty years since inviting a wave of turkish workers to help boost efforts to build the berlin wall r.t. as tom barton looks at the changing demographics of one of the world's most
