absolutely unbearable probably in germany above all there is already a lot of doubt as to whether one should go on boring money. from greece unless the banks are helped by their own governments what is called recapitalize another would have given new money will lend you money in order to beef up their capital base and of course there would be serious doubts about the credit worthiness of the banks and that is really i think what governments are most worried about because if the banks are seen to fail us and not prepared to lend to each other then we have another we have a repeat of the credit crunch wave banks don't lend to each other they also can't lend to businesses and that is what then leads to recession or possibly even the pression it's very difficult to trace who actually holds that debt and even if you can trace that there are any insurance companies that in a sense have insured the banks against the fourth with of

a could actually afford to pay out is another question again again. doubts in the minds of investors in the minds of certainly of bondholders as to whether it's worth going on holding. across the atlantic president bowman's outlined a plan to revive america's economy with the limits of the science of almost raising of places on businesses the richest americans here are expected to pay more tax hikes the candidates bring in about. three trillion dollars which needs to be saved over the next ten years how it's basically promised if any debt reduction education the cut welfare benefits if you didn't also include tax hikes for but is right republicans describe the president's approach as clause will fare if you look create jobs libertarian economist iraq will be the problem as 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 where the guys at the top which is who obama is working for against. profit in these kinds of neither of 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 a problem he's the solution it's the bankers and all the people who got rich wall street 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 cutting back cut back government that's what we need to do. honestly rockwell there are learning the shortcomings as he sees them to be in the president obama's deficit cutting plan. the middle east now israeli settlers and rather cool

rights groups a gathering in the west bank to protest the palestinians trying to soften t. at the u.n. on friday police and the armed forces are on high alert clearing the mass marches might turn violent settlers and palestinian lands. is there for us now let's cross over to paula what's the mood among the people what have you been hearing. here in the west bank things happen very fast had i come to you five minutes ago you would have seen it masses of people gathering here on the street in the west bank settlement of its m r but just a short time ago they started marching down the road their main making a wait to the palestinian city of nablus and we'll catch up with him in a short time just to let you know that the mood here is very tense the purpose of this march which is one of several that is happening right now in several israeli settlements across the west bank the goal is they say to show palestinians and the international community that this is the land of israel and that it doesn't matter what they say what happens in the united nations in terms of the palestinian bid

for statehood these settlers will not be going anywhere and we're talking here of roughly half a million people so the scene really is being sued for some kind of violence and we're hearing reports coming from nablus which is the ultimate goal of this demonstration that palestinian police there are preparing for the eventuality of the possibility that the protesters might be able to come quite close to that city but it's not clear at the moment if indeed this will happen the israeli army is out the israeli army of course wants to try and prevent any kind of clashes any kind of violence that would not would certainly not be an interest of israel to see that happening right now so the mood here not only in it tomorrow but across the west bank is one of uncertainty and many people concerned that the situation will spiral out of control and this is been building for a while and all israel's been on high alert ever since the palestinians declared. their intention to gauge the u.n. so what's been done. well certainly this is not unexpected the israeli army has conducted an operation accords operation summer seeds and this has been on the

go for several months just in the last few days the army was putting the finishing touches in place it spent more than thirty five million dollars on mobilizing the army of the police and also settlers themselves in numerous settlements there has been training given as well as non lethal weaponry such as tear gas to body guards to look after the settlements will ensure who comes in and who comes out there to be treated when we arrived here today it was quite intensive security and they checked our passports they take their identity papers so that they could kind of program to control what is happening in the the west bank settlements so the israeli army is very much concerned just in the last few days there were a number of incidents which said there's had been confrontations with palestinians with state is cutting down the olive trees in various other fields that belong to palestinians and what some people saying is that this is a show of double standards what we're seeing on the israeli side is that they are against the palestinians marching they have been planting mines on the northern

borders of israel particularly along the israeli syrian border while they themselves go out in there and straight let's have a look at this in more detail. there's a growing sense of isolation and for months they simply named it and nasa timber is here and with it the ease and solution teach about what to do when palestinians ask the united nations to recognise the state. of the 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 bush case scenario is violence is even talk of food into fodder these really armies been preparing for months eating up security on six womans and planting new land mines along israel's northern borders but many complain. these missions go to from. going to would. be it's more can for. the last thing to live it once is

a repeat of the chaos at its borders or 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 the mines are not this is a really very to deal with people who have peaceful intentions but minds are a legitimate form of defense 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 our request for an interview the most they give us was the 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 tof 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. or so. and sometimes. it was. because. of how continue the life for he hath. he got a little sympathy from the israeli government there planed 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 surge towards the borders later this week. because you know or. just just. flowers or would live for the people it's nine months since the

arab spring began and as callous syrians 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 policy r t israel well the u.n. general assembly is being dominated by the showdown over palestinian statehood let's get more of what's going on right now from the port he's in new york for us we really are there's no doubt that much talking on the sidelines is taking place where are we right now on this. right now as it stands palestinian president mahmoud abbas is set to address the general assembly on friday and officially submitted a letter of request asking for palestinian un membership and statehood but you can bet that between now and then u.s.

officials will be working hard to divert that plan washington has said that it does not support palestine campaign for u.n. membership and statehood and even use its veto within the security council if the security council recognizes or passes a resolution in support of how the city and statehood russian foreign minister sergei lavrov says that he believes it is wrong for the united states to block palestinian aspiration for u.n. membership and let's remember it was just one year ago when u.s. president barack obama suit up before the international body addressed the general assembly and said he hopes that when he returns in twenty palace would be a member of the united nations so clearly there is a lot of backpedaling right now a lot of backtracking u.s. officials do not want this to take place on a multilateral level they believe that palestine should be charged with israel but

at this point the majority of u.n. members do support the palestinian campaign for u.n. membership and if they win that support within the general assembly they will be called a non member they will see when and nonmember observer status and historic symbolic victory so between now and then a lot of talking will continue about this about. on friday right now the libby is in the limelight isn't it with president obama meeting the country's interim leadership what's happening on that school. that's right there was a high level meeting at the u.n. taking place on libya and u.s. president barack obama did address those in attendance dozens of countries were there including the libyan transitional council and president obama took the opportunity to sort of talk about what he calls the successes of the

international coalition in libya he said that. the international community basically made libya a better place by removing moammar gadhafi from power and that the world will stand with a post could offie libya but not all see not all of those in attendance and not all members of the united nations see this situation the same way russia for example believes that nato might have circumvented certain laws that were written within the resolution that allowed for a no fly zone over libya resolution adopted by the security council and russia along with many other countries believe that the u.s. and some western european countries exceeded their authority took advantage of a situation and exacerbated an already sensitive conflict tens of thousands of people have lost their lives in libya since february and when the bombings in the military conflict increased with nato getting involved the casualties the

fatalities also increased so at this point while the u.s. tell it's. a success many others think that it is a problem that might have just been exacerbated with no exact solution in sight. at the u.n. all of these were to put neither for us in new york. the european human rights schools ruled that russia acted within the would. it's fraud probe against the no funk cause we're going to state there are no indications the case was politically motivated barb's judges also found that between two thousand and two thousand and one the law school rushed the proceedings leaving the company with little time to prepare its defense the freezing of its assets left you cause with no ability to operate causing its eventual collapse you cos which was once headed by jail tycoon
