tells you that he will do a pretty close no i'm sure mark thompson. in serbia ladies available in moscow and hyatt regency. tonight on r t the world's finances get a grim for cars from the i.m.f. as europe gets taken from italy's credit downgrade and the u.s. is accused of being too hasty with cars. for just over forty eight hours to go before the palestinians appeal for a seat at the un israel maintains its firm opposition and begins reinforcing its borders fearing a wave of protests. in new york president obama six to post libya's new leadership of the general assembly by pointing out progress in the country but questions over whether nato its actions in libya complied with the u.n. resolution looms large. first been such an amount of bad news recently that the market didn't really we act on the downgrade of italy the russian the european indices enjoyed a rally at the close one thousand business in about twenty minutes. welcomes
1:01 pm
his r.t.s. nine pm right now we are moscow my name's kevin over the top story for you tonight and the international monetary fund's one that europe and the united states risk falling back into recession unless lawmakers act quickly. took a beating from ratings giant standard and poor's which downgraded the country school by one notch or your correspondent daniel bushell reports. investors call it the start of a piece of bad news that triggers bad reactions across the rest of the eurozone so insanely great problems not just the need to be where people are really trying to resist the palm object cuts but the government there is trying to bring through of course reports that greece is planning a referendum on membership of the euro is just more bad signs that we're seeing
1:02 pm
turbulence on the spot markets throughout europe as a result we've had the i.m.f. saying that europe needs to get its act together and deal with its worsening sovereign debt crisis warning of the risk of severe global repercussions of the i.m.f. i did go to europe that war was a slow recovery united states calming the return to normal economic growth but it was particularly concerned by the problems in europe and the religious investors that this will spread not just from countries like greece and italy but spain countries like portugal ireland and even france is now being mentioned as being in the far end zone for having too high levels of this it's really not really much of a growth strategy to get back on the right track. economic analyst michael ross is also the currency crashes on the line from bin laden michael good evening to not only the ratings agencies but the international monetary fund now losing confidence in the u.s. and europe is there no way out of this crisis. it seems like there's going to have
1:03 pm
to also take into account that there is a kind of currency war going on especially with continuous downgrades from the united states from the rating agencies here in europe today italy i mean what does it really matter one notch up or down but logical e it's really very very hard and in terms of currency war you have to see that to want to let fail the euro in order to keep the dollar at the end of the day this equation will not be true at the end goal of currencies will fail in my opinion because europe and united states have more or less the same problem over to the euro zone where it says for example the euro zone is better states all together we are in there with eighty five percent g.d.p. is a one hundred percent sure why is there a problem. what about the i.m.f.
1:04 pm
it provides talk about the doom mongers the. economy is failing isn't that simply making a rod for its own back exist the i.m.f. the end of the day and ultimately a sister future bailout. i mean it's not an orderly no go if the i.m.f. is saying that one country is failing because if you take a closer look at most western countries they are all failing to go all over the getting better if the search says such things so at the end of the day we are all falling for gether the situation at the moment is psychologically very under big pressure so it doesn't hurt any of us if the i.m.f. says such things if its leaders ask for a bailout is that the end of the eurozone or is it going to go. everybody is speculating about the eurozone and if you take the key figures of the several countries of the eurozone ok there are problems. we cannot bail out italy
1:05 pm
it's clear now to ensure that our politicians are working on plan b. plan b. . pretty sure will get them very soon because because the markets are forcing if we don't get them the markets will call it financial markets will go bust to see euro bonds far sooner than everybody might think i mean another question of course is if you can argue politically for this this is a totally new situation for the europeans and as i see it most of the europeans don't like it is racially here in germany because they're well aware of it but they have to pay the bill to do ok not if the euro i mean those bonds i won't wait for i just want to very quickly for one a time talk about greece to focus on that as well as for the says it's only got enough money to last until mid october those eurozone leaders are holding on to the bailout they can see this big brick wall coming one by letting it go in there
1:06 pm
giving it to greece the logistics wasted money now. i mean it's a. psychological play no with. measurements it's very very difficult as greece is in a very difficult situation at the moment so i'm pretty sure they go to the end of the day give the money and. greece but in the meantime it can become. pretty shaky all right michael ross functionalist thank you for your thoughts on the program good to see you tonight taking the developing story israeli settlers and radical rights groups are gathering in the west bank to protest the palestinians drive for sovereignty at the u.n. this coming friday police in the armed forces are on high alert fearing the mass marches might turn violent of settlers and palestinian lands these polish clear on the israeli palestinian border forests now where the people are waiting for the approach of the settlers for it even to paula how likely now it is that the
1:07 pm
situation will result in violence could it turn nasty. the situation gets certainly is tense and if it's enough we're talking about both israelis and palestinians claim is being is now the palestinians have said that later in the week they will hold peaceful demonstrations as the united nations gets under way and discusses the bid for statehood repeat israeli settlers are not waiting until the end of the week and throughout the day today tuesday we saw israeli settlers take me to speak to the various this hundreds across the west bank and not far from the israeli settlement of its march. hundreds of people marched on its islamist to this in point and currently on the israeli palestinian border and mahmoud was microbial in this it was musically played it was a very strong underlying militant mystique when you listen to some of the speeches that people say they were expressing for the fact as the land of israel belongs only to the people of this well to keep national pride urging the government to be
1:08 pm
strong and this is precisely what the hell is going. it's all afraid of they all saying that while they plan to hold peaceful demonstrations you have this big stream of right wing elements that is marching towards palestinian villages towards palestinians pones and that is going to evoke violence and i did speak to a number of protesters and this is exactly what they said israeli sickness admitting that they wanted to take the initiative and that they were marching towards palestinians almost out of anger and fury over this consistent piece of land now we are hearing reports that they work masses inside the madness earlier today tuesday at a fourteen year old palestinian was injured in his back we also know that there was a small demonstration held outside the embassy of the united states in tel aviv people brit calling on the united states not to veto the palestinian population for statehood so certainly the mood on the ground is one all of tension and it
1:09 pm
certainly will increase as we come folds israel's beat on high alert ever since the policy was declared the intention to go to the u.n. what's being done on the israeli side of it. well a lot of people are pointing fingers at the israeli army or the israeli government accusing them of double standards they're saying that on the one hand they are preventing palestinians from holding demonstrations because i think this thing is greatly army over the last few weeks and months increased its state of alert they are very worried that the palestinian demonstrations will take place and if you listen to what the israeli army are saying they are worried that these demonstrations will turn violent so you have this double standard that on the one hand they're trying to convince the palestinian demonstrations on taking place on the other guy bellowing surface to reach the border points which evokes very real fears of violence taking place the israeli operation is called operation on the seas they have been handing out non-lethal weapons such as tear gas to all the settlements they've also been arming and training the body guards who support the settlements they demarcated red lines around all the settlements and given the
1:10 pm
green light to soldiers that is palestinian protesters approached beyond a certain distance from as this woman soldiers can suit so all of that is creating the sense of tension and then and not only that we've also been hearing reports of the israeli army is planting landmines along its northern borders took in many a long as you know that syria let's take a look. there's a growing sense of isolation and money is really for months they simply name to supply and also the timber is here and with the ease and uncertainty about what you do when palestinians ask the united nations to recognize the state. the responsible thing to do from the i.d.f. for 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 even up security on
1:11 pm
social mins and planting new land mines along israel's northern borders but many complain these missions for. throwing mines. maybe it's more come 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 palestinians twenty protesters were killed by israeli fire the area is littered with mines and add a danger to those clamoring with the mines are not necessarily very to deal with people who have peaceful intentions of mines or a legitimate form of the fence. 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 a case that the united nations the army refused our request for an interview the
1:12 pm
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 their daily routine and security on israel's northern borders was maintained but it wasn't security there toward 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 we continue to live he how. he got little sympathy from the israeli government there 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
1:13 pm
towards the borders later this week. because i know you know or. just just in from in new followers or a good life for the people it's nine months since the arab spring began and is palestinians not of the united nations the last of the region's old certainties are being swept away and fears in the region are growing that what happens in new york . for the next middle east crisis policia r.t. israel. palestinian supporters will be watching closely what happens over the next forty eight hours or so but add to this poll already spoke to me says even if the palestinians do get their statehood bid it was likely the change. washington has especially purchased some friends in the middle east to sit but talk about some governments people who disagree with their alliance with the united states the
1:14 pm
popular level almost all the people in the arab world are united against the policies of the united states in that region everyone from the palestinian side has so they may want to possibly have negotiations only after statehood the statehood vote takes place they are quite ambivalent about this and have very little illusions that this will let you know there are already tracks from their cause the statehood would be if it if it comes about would be almost entirely symbolic and it won't change anything on the ground because his role is not going to change its policies on israel controls what is left of palestine. the u.n. general assembly has been dominated by the showdown over palestinian statehood and also in new york president obama seeks to boost libya's new leadership for the general assembly by pointing out progress in the country with that story today i
1:15 pm
think one important issues that the u.s. . palestinian campaign for a u.n. membership and statehood is purse percy ting and this is despite the massive amount of pressure the us has reportedly been putting on the palestinians to stop this bid now the majority of the un members do support palestinian u.n. membership and statehood but it's approximately one hundred thirty three countries if not more but it is because of the u.s. that that measure may not go through the u.s. as we've been reporting has threatened to officially veto a palestinian membership to the united nations if haass do because the u.s. believes that should go back to the negotiating tables with israel but russian foreign minister sergei lavrov spoke to the media and said that no country should stand in the way of palestine's ambitions. were given to the middle east which it will not meet in the near future the recent meeting with the u.s.
1:16 pm
secretary of state hillary clinton has shown that the u.s. would not like to see the palestinian question raised at the u.n. we think that it would be preferable to sit at the negotiating table first major not ready for it because there's no agreement between them we think that one must approve the palestinian ministration of the rights to ask the u.n. security council to speak out on each state who did the u.s. president barack obama took advantage of the opportunity to get some attention off of palestine and move it over to libya because a high level meeting was held at the united nations in which dozens of countries were in attendance and libya's national transitional council was there outlining how the plans will be set up for sabotaging a new government the u.s. president to address those in attendance saying that libya now is very successful position now that moammar qaddafi has been removed from power and the u.s. leader how did this success. for libya and for the international community he
1:17 pm
says that a host could offer libya is much more free and much more democratic but not everybody at the united nations sees this situation the same way russia for example believes that the u.n. security council resolution one nine hundred seventy three that was established back in march that put a no fly zone over libya and led to the nato military intervention was succeed it was exceeded russia and many other countries believe that nato members took advantage of an opportunity to protect civilians and in turn exacerbated a military conflict which led to as we know tens of thousands of people being killed and or wounded and now this is a country that needs to be rebuilt but not everybody believes that libya is essentially a success story many many countries do believe that certain certain western
1:18 pm
european countries took advantage of an opportunity and struck harder that needed to be struck in a very sensitive country that was in the midst of a terrible conflict so at this point discussions about libya libya will proceed but it's clear that the u.s. sees the circumstance in libya one way while other countries see it a much different way. as a correspondent in new york the european human rights courts ruled russia acted lawfully when launching a tax fraud investigation against the collapsed all giant you cost judges also said the kremlin's moves were not politically motivated but the village also states that between two thousand and two thousand and one the russian government didn't give enough time for you cause to prepare its defense adding the freezing of firms assets left it on able to function properly eventually forcing it into bankruptcy because it's also seeking ninety eight billion dollars in damages the largest claim in the court fifty year history but judges say they're not ready to rule on that
1:19 pm

1:20 pm
in his last television interview rabbani blamed foreign intervention for bringing initial instability to his country. certainly the people of afghanistan do not want foreign troops to remain in own country and we don't want our nation's security to depend upon a foreign military presence however considering the critical situation in our country the lack of stability and they continue an armed clashes have to tolerate a foreign military presence i have already emphasized the deal would have been no civil war in afghanistan and no problems with the taliban if not for the invasions by foreign countries after all the people of afghanistan had managed to leave for centuries without such in-fighting then. political analyst and the former afghan m.p. told me talk of a stable country no sounds as unrealistic as ever he was a very moderate figure and he was. very important influence in bringing moderation . and stability in there in the politics of the country and then mr karzai and
1:21 pm
others were the best that with the problems that we are facing are monumental problems so three years is not very much time for the problems of afghanistan as facing but i don't think. figures like that and the absence of those kinds of figures do not render themselves for stability and do not help stability the radicals are winning this. more top stories in brief now tonight and explosions rocked the turkish capital killed three and injured at least fifty official say a bomb was planted in a vehicle in downtown and while i witness his claim to have seen a burning canister from a parked cars for a nearby building where the cause of the blast remains unclear stage of the threat of terrorism kurdish separatists have recently intensified their attacks on the country killing over forty turks in the past few months. the third day of violence in the yemeni capital erupted after pro-government forces shot dead nine more people but the violence has come down in the past few hours after
