the future of talks on the israeli palestinian relationships a 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 and the united states are really not fever and 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 of so it is taking these specific actions to try to get its state recognized within the within the international community so when it's truly 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. pumped out 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 of the confrontational sort of surprising to be outright wacky the un she will go image never fails to impress what happens right here becomes a mirror image of what an engaging 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 extract the united nations nobody stunned that yet nobody has come in but naked 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 becomes memorable because it's a collector's item now it's

a long speech and tearing up tearing up the u.n. charter and falling asleep so we're just right could you corner you're to me or. you are my car is to destroy the constitution. the record holder for speech link an 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 its own by its member states it's not really anyone's role to you know becoming a western 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 u.s. yes even then ok. you. raise here and it's made as a sense 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 one. out of these performances from sheikh replied carla bruni becoming a headliner for the simple act of showing up to serve you leader nikita who sure write legibly banging his shoe against the quality of a claim for colonial slavery it should be buried deeper 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 is never captured on video was shrewd the power of the media a few over the t.v. . all. molder but a good number that you couldn't believe in. to showcase word as deed officials pull out so-called facts spying i can see backed up by we can see you. 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. from one side. and they're just so poor you have chemo and. even with the fierceness clearly not for into this international political stage drama year after year is the number one guest to r.s.v.p. and r.t. new york and 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 move where lives are even said to be being planted alongside the border artie's parsley or has more. fiza growing sense of isolation among israelis for months they simply named it september and nelson kimber is here and with it the ease and uncertainty about what to do when palestinians ask the

united nations to recognize they state i think are the responsible thing to do from the i.d.f. 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 there's even talk with the lead into fodder israeli army has been preparing for months beefing up security on sit on mints and planting new land mines along israel's northern borders but many complain these measures go too far no get out of there and pull would. be it's not going for. 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 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. have mines on their borders for that reason in one of its internal magazines 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 before the case of the united nations and the army refused our request for an interview the most they give us was an e-mail was sponsored in which they said they were performing ongoing situation assessments and doing everything required in order to ensure that the gaily with team and security at israel's northern borders was maintained but it wasn't security the top of the right half of salad bars body he lost a leg a hand 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 you. will be it was

a good. day because. we continue to live for he. he got a little sympathy from the israeli government there claimed him for being in an area infamous for mines but instead of hating the 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 i feel very very very sad because i know . my own son. just. being just just. give flowers or a good life for the people it's nine months since the arab spring began and his 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 sit the streets for the next middle east crisis policy r t israel decades

of unproductive peace talks with israel are the reason why palestinians are skeptical a new round of negotiations could produce any change that's the opinion of one of mahmoud abbas's advisors. 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 of the meanwhile i occupy all your home before 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 who put the years after the grid for eighteen years after signing. it was the agreement which required them to withdrawal from every inch of the exceptional juice and simply the use which they didn't do so it is up to the dickens company to do what.

more from not be all shots opinion on the actions of palestinians in new york and plans for peace with israel coming your way later here on r.t. well stay with us this hour stay tuned for a lukewarm reception greeting the old obama tax play some say the government is only out to protect itself instead of making sure the people don't suffer plots. fighters about a finish opted out of these remaining supporters in libya as the west anticipates cashing in on new business opportunities in the country. but first italy's credit score has taken a knock financial ratings from standard and poor's has downgraded the country by one notch and you can in the euro zone's economic woes the agency also gave a gloomy forecast for the country's ability to get itself out of trouble s. and p. said it was prompted by italy's weak economic growth and fears the government won't

be able to pay all of its huge debt despite recently agreeing to unpopular austerity package the downgrade now means it could be more expensive for italy to borrow money to pay its creditors while in greece athens has been given an ultimatum by e.u. and i.m.f. officials to enforce a deeper budget cuts if it wants to avoid bankruptcy the week's that's after eurozone leaders chose to wait till october before considering releasing the next eight billion euro bailout for more on this now i'm joined by francesco seif he's live for us in rome thank you very much for joining us so does this from debt leaders downgrade come as a surprise to you and you think there's any more countries that are set to follow. but no personally i'm not surprised because that actually i think the biggest a liability for retail e. political situation which has not changed they have. there have been maneuvers attempts to fix the situation but these maneuvers and are

half botched in a way they are not very successful plus the political situation has not changed i think italy needs some kind of new political settlement a government of national unity to call with these extraordinary situation we are only in or normal times in extraordinary situation but still the taliban government is not up to the challenge and free things of your full of scone your government members need to do in order to make things better for italy well i personally think they should call on all other parties to form a coalition of national unity and then to start a program for. privatization about sets these would be a first step to reassure the markets the markets need reassurance ensconce. their

major steps will be taken and then of course a major overhaul of the italian system is needed but this will take time the first thing is to address the problem of confidence and this is can be done in my humble opinion only by calling on a government of national unity and starting a major program. privatization would provide catch and drop the interest to end all saw. the whole world that italian. well let's move to greece for a second even when i am a fish olds are sitting on the second ballot for the country that's not going to help athens much is it or what do you think what steps should be taken there. but i'm not thinking i think we should we even tree care because there is a deep sea strops says if he hears and he greet government

get he's prob. so there we have had all kinds of leaks about right figures or wrong figures the provided by the government is the biggest problem. we don't know what is the real situation there so although we don't know how much money is necessary and of course this is started a process step process people are dragging their feet i mean should we move anything should be we not and we named by doing these i mean germany france and other european countries are of course expanding program sort of a thing here the problem is twofold it would be necessary for the e.u. trusts us exactly the reality of the greek debt and once assessed act very very strongly on each one way or another because

greek greek the greek back to the greek crisis can. garth ace the whole of europe and end up whole or the whole world of partners francesco c.c. thank you very much for joining us thank you. in the u.s. president obama has laid out a plan to cut the deficit and the economy and with the wealthiest americans expected to pay more he said earners and corporations must pay higher taxes adding that everyone should play should pay a fair share writing roughly three trillion dollars in savings explicitly promised to veto any debt reduction legislation that cuts benefits while failing to a plute higher taxes on the rich but republicans have described obama's approach as class warfare as a libertarian economist who 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 know but who are god is working for or against soros and buffet 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 is the solution it's the bankers and all the people who got rich wall street the military industrial complex big pharma and 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 turkeys president is in berlin discussing e.u. membership and issues faced by some three million terrorists living in germany today and multiculturalism today 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 and he's

not have as much children as we need increasingly wealthy germans see 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 culture and ethnicity a leaving some germans feeling threatened islamism leaders forty years law make model of society that is very different from the democratic chairman 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. we can already predict if you go 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 the middle age. and with

a serious labor shortage looming experts say germany needs all the workers it can get. so you. for the problems we need other people see all new people. make. these teenagers from backgrounds being broken into the new education program great stuff which helps them with money and supports towards the final school exams but we believe. is right there now that's my family was discriminated against it was a very difficult time for me now without learning so much about money i can focus on my studies and graduate from school. the demographic future of germany's difficult predict these programs like this one he could help germany accept these students as part of it's a multi-ethnic teaching the changes in germany's population and the debate

council has made it clear that it wants to reward the countries who took the lead role in backing of the rebellion but we also have seen resistance from these movements who have called for the members of the national transitional council to resign and who are making it abundantly clear that they are determined not to lead the west plunder the country's. turning now to some other stories making headlines across the globe activists in yemen see security forces have killed more than fifty people in over two days during clashes with anti-government protesters across the country in the capital sanaa snipers opened fire from rooftops shooting among others pedestrians and people filming the violence the crackdown reports the country's vice president could sign an initiative arranging a transfer of power something protesters have been calling on for months. a policy that banned open one of such a wealthy among servicemen in the u.s.
