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 tell of attempts to halt president abbas's ambition to win you when recognition u.s. also opposes the bid and there's been intense diplomacy to avert a crisis over the move or he's honest i see a chair in a report on a counter efforts russia is 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 leaderships 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 fever and they have been calling for the holts of 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 feet recognized within these rivers in the international community it's 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.

thank you. care and center stage drama would be their story every year for about ten days the united nations becomes a mecca for world leaders who are confrontational to the surprising to be outright wacky pilgrimage never fails to impress what happens right here becomes a mirror image of what an engaging game politics can be over a hundred and 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 yet nobody is coming but a kid. 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 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 here again so it's becomes memorable becomes it's a collective i don't know his long speech of tearing up tearing up the u.n. charter and falling asleep so we're just regular course you're army corps. you are

trying to describe the transitional council the record holder for speech length and indeed and voice in the fifty's and 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 u.n. is really owned it's owned by its member states so it's not really anyone's role to you know the kanye west and i'm to 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 u.s. yes with them ok. you. raise here and it's necessary for students today and from the u.s. the greatest obstacle to this future is that your rulers have chosen to deny you liberty and the media obsessed with creating let us out of this because for me whether it's people who have from cheaply clad carla bruni becoming

a headliner for the simple act of showing our society leader nikita who short run illegibly guy new shoe against the. grape or colonial slavery which should be very deep with the better half a century leader the story is really to give people more on tourism visiting the land some people need or someone says the episode is a legend as the shoe banging is never captured on video. over the media and few will be given. how. you can believe in me. to showcase work as d.d. officials pull out so-called facts accusations backed up by. the need to invade iraq nonexistent weapons of mass destruction we're giving you our faction conclusions based on solid intelligence the key players come and go.

it was you who of the firm programs. and good just to support your team and opens it with a fierceness clearly not for into this international political stage drama year after year is the number one guest to r.s.v.p. and keep me. in the west bank israeli settlers police and defense forces are gearing up to bear the consequences of the palestinian aspirations for sovereignty as they expect mass marches in support of the more land lies or even being planted alongside a border or his policy or has more. there's a growing sense of isolation and money israelis for months they simply named it supply and else the timber is here and with it the ease and uncertainty about what to do when palestinians are asked 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 fodder the israeli army has been preparing for months even up security on six women's and planting new land mines along israel's northern borders but many complain even asia is going to fall now we are going to work mines. morgan for. the last thing to live if 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 added danger to those clamoring with the mines are not necessarily very to deal with people who have peaceful intentions but mines are a legitimate form of the state's 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 clowns are expected to surge forward when palestinians put forward their case at the united nations and the army refused our requests 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 toward the right half of celebrants 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 with you and sometimes. it was. because. of how we can continue with the life of the half.

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 i know warren or. maybe just just died from. flowers or good life for the people 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 the fears in the region are growing that what happens in new york will set the stage for the next middle east crisis policia r t israel. decades of unproductive peace talks with israel are the reason

why palestinians are skeptical of a new route of negotiations could produce change that's the opinion of mahmoud abbas's advisor the real shot. if you will somebody takes your house and. occupies all of it but says that the only thing i learned is the garden and the basement what did that mean why i. told you whom you forced him to do so. let's negotiate so you negotiate and none of the things you agree he ever implements and that's what the israelis are doing we've been negotiating for pretty years after madrid for eighteen years after signing those two agreement which require them to withdraw from every inch of palestine would be acceptable to them and settlements in three years which they didn't do so it is utterly decus come to the to do what.

more opinion from nabil all shot on the actions of palestinians in new york and our plans for peace with israel coming up after our headlines out of the half hour. stay with us though here on our t.v. still to come obama's new tax plan greeted with a lukewarm reception by some see the government's only out to protect itself instead of making sure the people don't suffer. fighters about to finish off get off these remaining supporters in libya as the west anticipates crushing cashing in on new business opportunities in the country. but first the financial rating agency standard and poor's has downgraded italy's credit status by one notch deepening the euro zone's debt woes or economic woes gave a negative outlook also on the country's ratings s.n.p. said the move was prompted by italy's weak economic growth and fears the government will fail to deal with its huge debt despite parliament recently passing an austerity budget downgrade now means it could be more expensive for italy to borrow

money to pay creditors meanwhile past greece has been given an ultimatum by you and i.m.f. officials to enforce deeper budget cuts if it hopes to avoid going bankrupt early that next month this after euro zone leaders chose to wait until october before ruling on whether to release the next eight billion euro bailout installment but experts say more austerity measures now only make matters worse. the reason it hasn't he gave for the actual downgrade from what from a b. plus to a minus was political situation is unstable well when has it never been unstable would be a way i think as and b.'s taking on italy now. and you notice no other agencies have downgraded i'm. sure they're there to their political situation is it 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 stare at me at a time like b.

if 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 the stereo for everyone yes it can get much worse. in the u.s. president obama's laid out a plan to test the deficit and revive the economy with the wealthiest americans expect to pay more he said big earners and corporations must pay higher taxes adding that everyone should pay a fair share of 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 the approach as class warfare and libertarian economist lou rockwell thinks 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 or away from the ruling class i think that's what we have to concentrate on not let the guys at the top which you you know who a bomber is working for against soros but in 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 got rich wall street the military industrial complex big pharma and 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 and issues faced by some three million turks living in germany today not he culturalism debate comes at a time when the country is marking fifty years since it invited a wave of turkish workers to help boost efforts to build the berlin wall or are

families for this not to have as much children as we need increasingly wealthy germans seem raising children whilst holding down jobs as a waste of time and money the only parts of the population that are growing immigrant communities the changes in the culture in the city a leaving some germans feeling threatened but the islamic leaders forty years law make model of society it is very different from it in a classic german money we find that islam prevents people from properly integrating into germany for instance if we see ten year old girls being sent to school with a head scarves we can already predict that if a girl at midnight. too late say immigrant communities arguing about immigration now is outdated and may even border on racism here we're still have a discussion about his that you know we are like. death taxes and with

a serious labor shortage looming experts say germany needs all the workers it can get. so you. for demographic problems they need other people and they all need. islamic people these teenagers from poor immigrant backgrounds are being welcomed into a new educational program called start which helps them with money and support towards their final school exams believe. is we were poorer than others my family was discriminated against it was a very difficult time for me now without wanting so much of my money i can focus on my studies and graduate from school. the demographic future of germany's difficult to predict but if programs like this one that they can help germany accept these students as part of its multi-ethnic feature the changes in germany's population on
