hello bly from moscow this is r.t. international i'm kevin owen it's now eleven pm moscow time and our top story for you the international monetary fund has warned that europe and the united states risk falling back into recession unless lawmakers act quickly italy took a beating from the 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 start of a tender piece of bad news that triggers bad reactions across the rest of the eurozone so it's only downgrade more problems not just the need to be where people are really trying to resist the parliament budget cuts that the government there is trying to bring through of course reportedly greece is planning a referendum on membership of the euro is just more bad signs that we're seeing
3:02 pm
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 now the only if i did both europe and the slow recovery united states of forming the return to normal the konami growth but it was really concerned by the problems in europe and there really is concerned 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 debts are really not really much of a growth strategy to get back on the right track so europe correspondent daniel bushell there were earlier i spoke to economic analyst michael ross he's author of the book the currency crash and he told me he believes the psychological effect of the constant downgrade is taking its toll on the world's economy. they have also to take into account that there is
3:03 pm
a kind of currency war going on especially with the continuous downgrade 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 such a lot psychologically it's really very very hard and in terms of currency war you have to see though to want to feel that fail the euro in order to keep the dollar at the end of the day this equation will not be true at the end 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 they are all over the edge and getting better is the set of 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.

palestinian port there with the people waiting for the approach of the settlers. the situation there certainly is tense and it's heating up we're talking about land that both israeli sixes and palestinians claim is that is not the palestinians have say that mesa in the week they will hold peaceful demonstrations as the united nations gets under way and discusses they bid for statehood but israeli settlers are not bracing until the end of the week and throughout the day today true state we saw it's way he said this taking to the streets to various statements across the respect i'm not soft for me is lady system and it's a mob with her near hundreds of people marched on the assessment to the same point i'm currently on the israeli palestinian border and one of the sponsors will and this is it was music and play it was a very strong underlying minutes and received when you listen to some of the speeches that people were saying they were expressing support such as the land of israel belongs only to the people of israel to keep national pride urging the
3:06 pm
government to be strong and this is precisely what kind of skins are afraid of they're all saying that they plan to hold peaceful demonstrations you have this big stream this one element that is marching towards palestinian villages towards palestinians homes and that is going to evoke violence now we are hearing reports that the work matches in seven nablus earlier today tuesday at a food ten year old palestinian was injured in his back but a lot of people up pointing fingers at the israeli army and israeli government and accusing them of double standards they're saying that on the one hand they are preventing palestinians from posting demonstrations on the other hand they're now in stitches to reach the border points which evokes very real fears of violence taking place the israeli operation have been handing out money people with such as tear gas to all the settlements they've also been arming and training the body gone to secure the system and they deem off way to rid lines around all the settlements and given the green light to soldiers that if palestinian protesters approached beyond

3:08 pm
a repeat of the chaos at its borders three months ago but 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 a very to do with people who have peaceful intentions but mines are a legitimate form of the sense. of 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 plans are expected to surge forward when palestinians put forward a case at the united nations the army refused requests 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 they gaily routine and security on israel's northern borders was maintained but it

wasn't security their top of the right half of solid body. the leg the hand and an eye when he picked up a mine when he was thirteen years old. or so what happened from the view and sometimes. maybe it was. because. we continue with 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 greeting what will happen if thousands of people surged towards the borders later this week but i feel very very very sad because i know him or my own son bombs around. just to just. give flowers or good life for the people it's nine months since the

3:11 pm
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 the palestinian membership to the united nations if house 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 because the rich people in the middle east quartet and will not meet in the near future the region beating with the u.s. secretary of state hillary clinton who showed that big u.s. would not like to see the palestinian question raised at the u.n. we think that it would be preferable to sort of the negotiating table first both sides are not ready for it because there's no agreement between them we think that will muslims deprive the coalition you know ministration of their rights to ask the u.n. security council to speak out on each string to a good u.s.

3:13 pm
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 question 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 look at 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. a correspondent in new york reported. turkey will wait on
