tonight on r t the world's finance is going to grim forecast from the i.m.f. as europe steps taken not from italy's credit downgrade and the u.s. is accused of being too hasty with cuts we've got the latest ahead this hour also just before the palestinians appealed for a seat at the u.n. israeli military forces are against pro palestine supporters probably all the rest is coming from the other side. coming fears of violence as israeli settlers take the law into the own hands and not towards palestinian villages join me in a few moments and i'll bring you more and in new york president obama seeks to post libya's new leadership of the general assembly by pointing out progress in the country but nonetheless questions over whether nato is actions in libya complied

with the u.n. resolution loom large. clasping the such an amount of bad news recent that the market didn't really react on the downgrade of the swing while the russian the european indices enjoyed a rally at the close more analysis in the business program in about twenty minutes . for good evening this is r t it's ten pm right now here in moscow you're watching r.t. international with me kevin and our top story in the international monetary fund's wall that europe and the united states risk falling back into recession unless lawmakers act quickly earlier italy took a beating from ratings giant standard and poor's which downgraded the country school by one notch our europe correspondent daniel bushell's got the latest for you. investors call it the startup or ten piece of bad news that triggers bad reactions across the rest of the eurozone so it's only downgrade problems not just

of it's only where people are really trying to resist the parliament 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 sign that we're seeing turbulence on the stock markets throughout europe as a result we've had the i.m.f. saying that you would need to get its act together and deal with its worsening sovereign debt crisis warning of the risk of severe global repercussions for the army if i did go to europe and the slow recovery united states homing the return to normal the konami growth but it was particularly concerned by the problems in europe and there really is concern 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 there it's really not really much of a growth strategy to get back on the right track so your correspondent daniel

bushell there a bit earlier i spoke to economic analyst michael neuroses author of the book the currency crash he told me he believes the psychological effect of the constant downgrade is now taking its toll on the world economy. we have also to take into account that there is a kind of currency war going on is specially was through is continuous downgrades from the united states from the rating agencies here in europe today italy i mean what does it really matter one hour down the social up psychologically it's really very very hard and in terms of currency war you have to see that or want to fear let's say oh the euro in order to keep the dollar and 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 if you take a closer look at most western countries they are all failing go 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. also on the program from financial analyst michael ross who was talking about the great effect of the i.m.f. downgrade today and we've got more hard hitting news coming your way as well just a bit later in the program including human european rights court has ruled the rusher acted lawfully in its investigation against the collapse all giant view of course but the latter is still seeking a record ninety eight billion dollars in damages find out why in just a few minutes on this channel. and the former afghan president rabbani has been killed in his home spoke with r.t. in his last televised interview about the effects of foreign intervention in his country stay tuned for that exclusive footage i'm kevin owen back with those stories and a whole lot more very shortly. israeli

settlers and radical rights groups have gathered in the west bank to protest the palestinians drive for sovereignty at the u.n. on friday police and the armed forces are on high alert for in the mass marches might turn violent of settlers enter palestinian lands that is paula sleepers on the israeli palestinian border where the people are waiting for the approach of the settlers. the situation there certainly is tense and it's it's not we're talking about both great experiences and palestinians is that is not the kind of students have said that mason in the week they will hold peaceful demonstrations as the united nations gets under way and discusses very broad full statehood for peace ready citizen not wait until the end of the we can throughout the day today tuesday we saw it's way he said it's taking to the streets in various statements across the respect i'm not soft on the israeli settlement of it's a mob return here hundreds of people marched on that statement to the same point

i'm currently on the israeli palestinian border and mahmoud was caught jovial and he simply was music in case it was a very strong underlying minutes and received when you listen to some of the speeches that people will say they were expressing forces such as the land of israel longs only to the people of israel to keep national pride urging the government to be strong and this is the same i see what palestinians are afraid of they were saying that while they plan to hold peaceful demonstrations you have this extremist element that is more change towards palestinian villagers 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 say it is radie say it was a mistake that they wanted to take the initiative that they will more often towards palestinians almost out of anger and fury over this contested piece of land now we are hearing reports that the work classes in southern madness earlier today tuesday at a school two year old palestinian was injured in his back what

a lot of people are pointing fingers at this way beyond here 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 israeli army 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 will say they are worried that these demonstrations will for environment so you have this double standard that on the one. they're trying to prevent palestinian demonstrators from taking place but on the other hand they're allowing 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 had been handing out non-lethal weapons such as to have passed all the settlements they've also been arming and training the body guards who support the system as they do what they say of the red lines around all the settlements and given the green light to soldiers that is palestinian protesters approached beyond a certain distance from this is where many soldiers had suits so all of that is

creating the sense of tension then and not only that we've also been hearing reports of the israeli army is planting landmines along its northern borders secondly along its border with syria there's a growing sense of isolation among israelis for months they simply named it as a temper and massive timber is here and with it the only ease and uncertainty about what to do when palestinians ask the united nations to recognize a 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 city hall minutes and planting new land mines along israel's northern borders but many complain these measures go too far now they are going through mines.

bring them blasting 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 energy danger to those clamoring the mines are not necessarily varied to deal with people who have peaceful intentions but mines are a legitimate form. of the feds many countries 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 crowds are expected to surge forward when palestinians before they case at the united nations the army refused our request for an interview the most they give us with an e-mail response in which they said they were performing ongoing situation assessments and doing everything required in order to ensure that again the routine and security of israel's northern borders was maintained but it wasn't security there towards the

right half of solid 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. it was. because of the. continual the life of the house. 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 feel very very very sad because i know or my own son. just just.

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 of being swept away but fears in the region are growing that what happens in new york city the stage for the next middle east crisis policy r.t. israel. well policy supporters are going to be watching closely what happens over the next forty eight hours or so but activist polarity says that even if the palestinians do get their statehood bid little is going to change washington has especially purchased some friends in the middle east who sit at the top of some governments 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. they want to possibly have negotiations only after statehood and the states would vote takes place they're quite ambivalent about this and have very little illusions that this will either already track from there 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 over palestinian statehood and also new york president obama is seeking to push libya's new leadership in the general assembly by pointing out progress in the country coming out story today artie's miniport was 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 you 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 i asked you 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. to play the middle east quartet will not meet in the near future the recent meeting with the u.s. 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 to the negotiating table first but both sides are not ready for it because there's no agreement between them we think good

will missions to provide some kind of ministration 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. 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 in our 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 says that a host 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 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 sixty eight 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 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. there are a correspondent in new york the human rights court has ruled that russia should lawfully we're launching a tax fraud investigation against the collapse will join you cause judges also said the kremlin's 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 you cause to prepare its new friends the freezing of assets left unable to function properly eventually falls or going into bankruptcy you know you course also see billion dollars in damages that's the largest claim because if do you history will judge you so they're not really. further evidence. a lot more background story on our website the whole story about you course if you want to furnish yourself with more details also there online to modern our website we hear how not all countries are wary of authority in flux as long as that thing cash

balances broke and that china is ready with the money but there are terms and conditions attached as well we explain more about that online tonight at our team dot com. also a little wise for fans of the red hot chili peppers internet piracy doesn't pay why well about in the u.s. has been hit with a sixty eight thousand dollars fine for illegal file sharing but this player could just be the tip of the iceberg about what details on but if that story interests you tonight check it all web site r.t. dot com. former afghan president rabbani has been killed in a suspected suicide bombing at his home in kabul he led afghanistan during the one nine hundred ninety s. and most recently ran the country's peace council attempting to negotiate a political solution between the government of the taliban was speaking to r.t. in his last t.v. interview rabbani blamed foreign intervention for bringing initial instability to his country and him ownership 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 the continuing armed clashes we have to tolerate a foreign military presence i have already emphasized to deal with has 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. where they had cell phones of all it's always a political analyst and a former afghan m.p. spoke to him he says 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 the politics of the country and mr karzai and others will miss that president with the problems that we're facing are monumental problems so three years is not very much time for the problems that are get us was facing and i don't

think. figures like that and the absence of those kinds of figures do not render themselves more stability and do not help stability the radicals are winning this time. for will do stories in brief and explosions rocked the turkish capital it's killed three and injured at least fifty official say a bomb was planted in a vehicle in downtown ankara while live witnesses claim to have seen a burning canister thrown at parked cars from a nearby building and the cause of the blast remains unclear turkey 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 and. the third day of violence in the yemeni couple's ruptured after pro-government forces shot dead nine more people but the violence has come down in the last few hours after a cease fire came into effect that was brokered by the vice president and western ambassadors the total number of victims now since sunday's recent sixty including

citizens in the e.u. and turkey's plans to join the organization is a worry for germany right now the two nations held top level talks in berlin as germany hopes to block turkey becoming a full member which would allow the free flow of immigrants and as an artist tom barton found out it's a demographic die lever for one of europe's most ethnically diverse countries to. it's the end of school for thirteen year old malik to carly in frankfurt germany his grandparents escaped from morocco in the one nine hundred seventy s. joining a largely white german society is not for niger grew up here and she's seen things change but we had a time when everything was perfect we don't direct that we have any let down there i'd like them for my friend was. after five years then i feel like things happen in the politics not just problems are at least partly down to a massive demographic change statistics show that the overall population of young

people in germany has fallen by two million in the past decade if so you cannot make a situation also a population will increase. so families from. mark to 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 in the city leaving some germans feeling threatened the islamic leaders. the islamic model of society is very different from it in a classic german one we find that islam prevents people from properly integrating into germany for instance if we see ten year old girls being sent to school wearing headscarves we can already particular developments that are too late say immigrant

communities arguing about immigration now is outdated and may even border on racism here where still they have a discussion about the his that is now we are like the middle eight end of the earth cache and there were serious labor shortage looming experts say germany needs all the workers it can get to a solution for demographic problem and they need other people see all the. islamic people these teenagers from poor immigrant backgrounds are being welcomed into a new education program called start which helps them with money and support towards their final school exams but if programs like this work they could help germany accept these students as part of its multi ethnic feature the changes in germany's population and the debate surrounding them will take many years to play out but life goes on and by the time these teenagers have children of their own it seems

likely the face of society here could look rather different tom watson r.t. writes germany. looking ahead this hour you get used in a sport where twenty five minutes time clothing used in either another tough voting for russia's rugby team in the world cup. let's catch up with the latest business now from moscow when you hear. that's right time to delve into the world of business and the russian ruble continues to retreat against the main currencies it's reached the lowest level against the u.s. dollar in ten months although analysts believe capital outflows are the main cause restless of all the door to banks as the money will return in the near future. you tend to see these two factors being realigned in some way current account and the financial account and capital flows are being real wire and the overall

direction of the current account so if we continue to see high world prices i do expect. flows through then sure we react to this the world's to slow down and possibly careful inflows to start to set in because there is cheap and it is cheap given the fundamentals that are out there and accordingly i think even speculators with time. may find good profitable to take a second look at the ruble and start investing back again. time to check up on the markets all prices bounce back from the losses in previous sessions how well the escalating fears of the eurozone debt crisis which continue to start concerns over to mt blights which is currently trading at under eighty seven dollars buyout branches that one hundred ten dollars hundred stocks are high of raising a drop earlier this session and speculation that that will do move to stimulate
