welcome says r t it's nine pm right now here moscow my name's kevin over the top story for you tonight and the international monetary fund's want to europe and the united states risk falling back into recession unless lawmakers act quickly italy took a beating from ratings giant standard and poor's which downgraded the country school by one notch our europe correspondent daniel bushell reports investors call it the starter for ten a piece of news that triggers bad reactions across the rest of the eurozone so it's a leave downgrade problem not just definitively where people are really trying to resist the palmach budget cuts that 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 turbulence in the stock market 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 both europe that worries and the slow recovery united states of calming the return to a normal that can only growth but it was particularly concerned by the problems in europe and the reduced investors that this will spread not just from countries like greece and italy but to spain countries like portugal ireland and even france is now being mentioned as being in the fairings zone for having too high levels of debt are 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 berlin now michael good evening 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 this but you have also to 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 psychologically it's really very very hard and in terms of currency war you have to see that they are want to let fail the euro in order to keep the dollar and at the end of the day this equation will not be true at the end both currencies will fail in my opinion because europe and united states have more or less the same problems over do and when you take the euro zone for example the euro zone is better it's all together we are in there it's with eighty five percent g.d.p. it is over one hundred percent. why is there a problem. with the i.m.f. it provides talk about the doom mongers the i.m.f. brands an economy is failing isn't that simply making a rod for its own back legs is the i.m.f. of the day and ultimately a sister future bailout i mean it's not

a lot lino go if the i.m.f. is saying that one country is failing because if you take a closer look to most western countries they are all failing they are all over the getting better if the search says such things so at the end of the day we are all falling together and 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 but if italy does ask for a bailout is that the end of the eurozone where is it going to go. everybody is speculating about the eurozone and if you take the key figures of the several countries that eurozone ok there are problems. we cannot bail out italy that's clear but i am sure that our politicians are working on plan b. plan b. . will be euro bonds. pretty sure will get them very soon

because it's because the markets are forcing if we don't get them the markets will call ups financial markets will go bust to see euro bonds far sooner than everybody might think i mean another question of course is if you. argument politically for this you want this is a totally new situation for the europeans and as i see it most of the europeans don't like it is specially here in germany because they're well aware of it but they have to pay the bill at the end of the day ok not if the euro i mean those bonds by the way for i just want to very quickly before we run a time talk about greece a lot of focus on that as well after the says it's only got enough money to last until mid october and those eurozone leaders are holding on to that bailout cash they can see this big brick wall coming one by letting it go why are they giving it to greece of they just think it's wasted money now. i mean it's a. psychological play no with greece they have to make. measurements it's

very very difficult greece is in a very difficult situation at the moment so i'm pretty sure they're going to 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 thank you and 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 of the armed forces are on high alert fearing the mass marches might turn violent of settlers and palestinian lands. on the israeli palestinian border forests now where the people are waiting for the approach of the settlers very good evening to you paula how likely is it that the situation will result in violence could it turn nasty. well the situation here certainly is tense

and it's eating up we're talking about both israelis and palestinians claim is now the palestinians have said that later in the week they will hold he spoke demonstrations as the united nations gets underway and discusses the bid for statehood but the israeli settlers are not waiting until the end of the week and throughout the day today tuesday we saw it's way he said it's taking to the streets through various systems across the west bank i'm not far from the israeli settlement it's a mark. hundreds of people marched on that system and to this end point i'm currently on the israeli palestinian border and while the mood was quite jovial and the city was musical played it was a very strong underlying militant receipts when you listen to some of the speech that people were saying they were expressing for the sanchez the land of israel belongs only to the people of israel to keep national pride urging the government to be strong and this is precisely what this king. all afraid of mail saying that while they plan to hold peaceful demonstrations you have this extremist right wing

element that is more trained towards palestinian villages towards palestinians pones and that is going to evoke vitamins and i did speak to a number of protestors and this is exactly what they say it is rabies said this admitting that they wanted to take the initiative and that they were marching towards palestinians almost out of anger and fury over this point tasted piece of land now we are hearing reports that there were clashes inside the madness earlier today tuesday that 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 did calling on the united states not to veto the palestinian application for statehood so certainly the mood on the ground is one of tension and it certainly will increase as we told israel's. policies declared the intention to go to the u.n. well what's being done on the israeli side of it. what

a lot of people are pointing fingers at the israeli army of the israeli government and accusing them of double standards they're saying that on the one hand they are preventing palestinians from holding demonstrations because certainly we've seen these grated on me over the last few weeks and months increase its state of alert they'll very worried that 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 trying to prevent palestinian demonstrations from taking place but on the on the combat allowing searches to reach the border points which evokes very real fears of violence taking place the israeli operation is called operation some the seeds 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 to secure the settlements they demarcated ridge lines around all the settlements and given the green light to soldiers that is palestinian protests. this approach beyond a certain distance from as this woman saw the hand suit so all of that is creating

the sense of tense and then and not only that we've also been hearing reports of the israeli army is planting landmines along its northern borders particularly along its border with syria let's take a look. there's a growing sense of isolation among 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 ask the united nations to recognize the state i think 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 worst case scenario is violence there's even talk of a food into fodder the israeli army has been preparing for months beefing up security on settlements and planting new land mines along israel's northern borders but many complain these measures go too far now they are going to mines it.

maybe it's more come 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 add a 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 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 of request for an interview the most they gave us was an e-mail response in which they said they were performing on go. 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 that tore off the right heart 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 what happened with you and sometimes. maybe it was. because. how we can continue the life he like. 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 i feel very very very sad because i know i know or my. material. just

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 palestinian supporters will be watching closely what happens over the next forty eight hours or so but activist paul already spoke to me he says even if the palestinians do get their statehood brayed little change. washington has essentially purchased some friends in the in the middle east to sit at the top of some government of people who disagree with their alliance with the united states the 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 said that they may want to possibly have negotiations only after statehood the statehood vote takes place they're quite ambivalent about this and have very little illusions that this will either advance or detract from their cause the statehood would if it if it comes about would be almost entirely symbolic and it won't change anything on the ground because israel 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 of the palestinian statehood and also in new york president obama seeks to boost libya's new leadership in the general assembly by pointing out progress in the country with that story today of these men important she's at the u.n. . palestinian campaign for a u.n. membership and statehood is purse percy thing and this is despite the massive

amount of pressure the u.s. has reportedly been putting on the palestinians to stop this bid now the majority of the u.n. members do support palestinian u.n. membership and statehood that'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 it house too because the u.s. believes that palestine should go back to 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 because they're going to get the new people in the middle east quartet will not meet in the near future the recent meeting with the u.s. secretary of state hillary clinton has showed 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 to the negotiating table first but both

sides are not ready for it because there's no agreement between them we think good one must deprive the kind of standing an administration of the right to ask the u.n. security council to speak out on it statehood bid us 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 establishing a new government the u.s. president addressed those in attendance saying that libya now is very successful position now that moammar gadhafi has been removed from power and the u.s. leader how did this as a success. for libya and for the international community he says that a host khadafi of 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 un 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 european countries took advantage of an opportunity and struck harder that needed to be strong 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 also a correspondent in new york the european human rights courts ruled russia lawfully when launching a touch fraud investigation against the stalled you cost jews also said the moves were not politically motivated but the verdict also states that between two thousand and two thousand and one the russian government didn't give enough time for yukos to prepare its defense adding that freezing the firm's assets lifted on able to function properly eventually falls or get into bankruptcy because he's also seeking ninety eight billion dollars in damages the largest claim in the cool fifty year history but judges say they're not ready to rule without further evidence. because you got more background analysis that for a long running case at r.t. dot com if you want to find more about you cost i also while you're online as well

the stories tonight we hear not all countries are wary of a foreign influx of long as it cash but there are says brogue right now in china is ready with the money but the returns of conditions attached to it as we explain online. a little bit of advice for fans of the red hot chili peppers internet piracy doesn't pay about in the u.s. has been hit with a sixty eight thousand dollar fine for illegal file sharing this pay it could just print tip of the iceberg apparently if you want to know more about one vote on our web site r t v dot com we've got in the background story. the former afghan president rabbani has been killed in a suspected suicide bombing at his home in kabul afghanistan during the one nine hundred ninety s. and most recently around the country's peace council attempting to negotiate a political solution between the government and taliban speaking to r.t. 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 our 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 unarmed clashes we have to tolerate a foreign military presence i have already emphasized a 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 live for centuries without such in-fighting. died sultanzoy as 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 he was a very important influence in bringing moderation and. stability in the politics of the country and mr karzai and others will miss that president but the problems that we're facing are monumental problems saw three years is not very much time for the

problems of afghanistan as facing and 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 time. more top stories in brief 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 the parked cars from a nearby building the cause of the blast remains unclear is no stranger to the threat of terrorism kurdish separatists have recently intensified their attacks on the country killing over forty turks in the past few months. the violence in the yemeni capital of iraq today after pro-government forces shot dead nine more people but the violence has come down in the past few hours after a cease fire came into effect brokered by the vice president and western ambassadors the total number of victims since sunday is now risen to over sixty

months it has lost lists of all it could do it a bank believes the russian currency is in for a bumpy ride with trouble want short term fluctuations. vironment. now that the central bank is stepping aside from how the interventions into the forest market i think market participants will need to readjust their perceptions their expectations with regard to the ruble the ruble fundamentally is becoming more volatile the scale of volatility intra day within one day of trading is going to increase significantly and this is something that is yet to be stomached by the foreign national markets and also by the households. more broadly even though that probably the latter part of the russians getting used to this greater volatility may take some time still. that's a look at the markets now world prices bounce back from losses in previous sessions
