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 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 recognized within the international community some 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 d's walls could talk. to 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 be outright

wacky the u.n. g. 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 attention you could try to like streak the united nations nobody met yet nobody's come in but make it. 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 of few tricks that have not been performed here yet i think the one that i remember the most i mean there was cut off the witch who i guess will never be back here again so it 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. should not be discarded the constitution comes from 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 u.n. 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 it was yesterday even then i came here. you. read here 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 performing people who have firm she could clad carla bruni becoming a headliner for the simple act of showing off to sauvie leader nikita khrushchev's from the allegedly bang you shoot him against the podium here at the grave for

colonial slavery that should be buried deep the better half a century leader the story is were to be very long tourists visiting the land the soviet leader so on says the episode is a legend as the shoe banging is never captured on video to the. media if you will with the. whole. that you can believe in many things that never to showcase words as deed officials pull out so-called facts boring accusations backed up by would you feel. the need to invade iraq by nonexistent weapons of mass destruction we're giving you are facts and conclusions based on solid intelligence the key players come and go who. it was you have the firm from one side the mother side and just two so who are do you would team in the open as a team 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 stacie churkin a hearty meal. in the west bank israeli settlers police and defense forces are gearing up to bear the consequences of the palestinian aspirations for sovereignty as a expect mass marches in support of the move landmines or even being planted alongside the border or his policy or has more. physical owing sense of isolation among israelis for months they simply named it and now september 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 most 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're out of trying to mines. maybe it's more common for. ripping them 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 the mines are not necessarily very to deal 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 crowds 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 their tour of 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 with you and sometimes. it was. because. continue the life he like. 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. very very very sad because i know in or. around. make just. give 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 but fears in the region are growing that what happens in new york state the stage for the next middle east crisis. 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 as advisor. you know somebody takes your house and.

occupies all of it but says that the only thing i want is the garden and the basement but in the meanwhile i could buy all your home to force you to do so. let's negotiate so you negotiate and none of the things you agree he ever implements that's what the israelis are doing we've been negotiating for twenty years after madrid for eighteen years after signing those two agreement which required them to withdraw from every inch of palestine with the exception of jerusalem and settlements in three years which they didn't do so it is utterly ridiculous come to to do what. more opinion from not be all shot on the actions of palestinians in new york and their plans for peace with israel coming up after our headlines out of the half hour. stay with us though here on our t.v.
