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 as wall that europe and the united states risk falling back into recession unless lawmakers act quickly here italy took a beating from ratings giant standard and poor's which downgraded the country school by one notch our europe correspondent daniel bushel has got the latest for you investors call it the starter for ten a piece of bad news that triggers bad reactions across the rest of the eurozone so it's a nice downgrade has brought problems not just to italy 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 signs now we're seeing turbulence on the stock 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 now the i.m.f. added both europe's debt woes and the slow recovery united states of forming the return to a normal economic 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 on to spain countries like portugal ireland and even france is now being mentioned as being in the firing zone for having too high levels of debts or 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 moore aussie'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 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 social up psychologically it's really very very hard and in terms of currency war you have to see that they are want to fear 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 problem if you take a closer look to most western countries they are all failing they are all over do it and 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 help any of us if the i.m.f. says such things that was michael ross list about the grave effect of the i.m.f. downgrade a bit earlier speaking to me and we've got more hard hitting news coming your way

in the program this half hour including european human rights court ruling the brushfire acted lawfully in its investigation against the collapsed all join you caught but the latter still seeking a record ninety eight billion dollars in damages find out why in just a few minutes. and the former president rabbani has been killed in his home he spoke with our channel r.t. in his last televised interview about the effects of foreign intervention is country going to see poor that exclusive footage it's coming up a little bit later i'm back with those stories and more in just a second. israeli settlers and radical rights groups gathering in the west bank to protest the palestinians drive for sovereignty at the un on friday police and the armed forces are on high alert fearing the mass marches might turn violent if settlers enter palestinian lands artie's paula slee is on the israeli palestinian border with the people waiting for the approach of the settlers. the situation here certainly is tense and it's heating up we're talking about a land that both the israeli state says and palestinians claim is there is not be

planted students have said that mason in the week they will hold the school 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 in various systems across the way spend i'm not soft on the israeli settlement it's a mob. hundreds of people marched on that statement to this same point in time and i'm currently on the israeli palestinian border and while the mood was quite jovial and the city was musically played it was a very strong underlying minutes and received when you listen to some of the speeches that people were saying they were expressing thoughts such as the land of israel belongs only to the people of israel to keep the national side urging the government to be strong and this is precisely what the palestinians are afraid of they are saying that they plan to hold peaceful demonstrations that have this extremist element that is marching towards palestinian villages towards

palestinians pones and that is going to evoke vitamins now we are hearing reports that they work masses inside the madness earlier today tuesday at a food ten year old palestinian was injured in his back when a lot of people a 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 but on the other hand and now in six has to reach the border points which evokes very real fears of violence taking place because many operations have been handing out money for with them such as tear gas to all the settlements they've also been arming and training the body guards who secure the settlements they do all the way to live lines around all the settlements and given the green light to soldiers that is palestinian protesters approached beyond a certain distance soldiers had suits we've also been hearing reports of these raids. the army is planting landmines along its northern borders particularly along its border with syria visit growing sense of isolation among israelis for months

they simply named it supply and now september is here and with it the ease and uncertainty about what to do when palestinians are united nations to recognize the state i think the responsible thing to do from our dave's point of view 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 third intifada 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 trying 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 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 and 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 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 heal up. the negs 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 better if he did because it's how we can continue the life he like i have him and 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 but i feel very very very sad because i know in or mines bombs and dangerous material. make just just by. 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 will set the stage for the next middle east crisis policia r.t. israel well as we've seen at the u.n. general assembly has been dominated by the show there of a palestinian statehood but also in new york president obama six to boost libya's new leadership in the general assembly by pointing out the progress that's been made in the country with that sort of the story today report myers at the u.n. for us. palestinian campaign for a un membership and statehood is per speech percy thing 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 un 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 do because the u.s. believes that palestine 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 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 that one must deprive the kind of study and 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 in a very successful position now that moammar gadhafi 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 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 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. to do new york you know put. turkey will wait on a move on a deal signed last week to host a nato radar system rejecting washington's demands for

a speedy implementation now it's thought the final decisions going to be taken after the turkish pm meets the u.s. in the radiant presidents of the u.n. general assembly let's get some more thoughts on this one from journalist use of can these joining us live now from turkey was to cali thanks for being an r.t. international good to see you tonight why does the turkish prime minister have to meet the iranian and u.s. leaders before making this decision another doubts to think over the promises that the u.s. has given to turkey in order to guarantee its support in field. it's good to be on the. program years well of course the prime minister is a bird pleased all and everything involved basket from cyprus to relations to israel. is suspect and don't expect just presume because. there are two problems are targeting israel and two is the countries displeased everett in one basket and there is no body gaining with the american

president and. as i made the charge big deficit so it's not particularly a case of having second thoughts that i also think i mean how will turkey balance its loyalties towards the u.s. and its neighbor iran has got a tough balancing act isn't it it. did to the current turkish government then there were tremendous understanding has been trying to expand its cultural influence over the biggest joke of the which used to be the former autobahn. did those are do there isn't there a word to parse the several months the cultural explosion. apparently started to be posed to the explosion as well because turkey is started forging closer and closer lesions lifting result of clairvoyance. in a way it's stoppage of some sort of

a. tentative customs union we did. reduce their countries. as a alternative to the vested oh let's focus back on the shield what are people in turkey think about i mean russia said time and time and time again it feels that the system could threaten its own security but nato and the us a claim of that shield is purely a defensive measure designed to counter possible attacks maranda north korea now all these perceived threats do you think real or could. there be another reason behind the project what are the people in turkey think in turkey most people think that this is a measure against probable iranian attack or of israel you know many people think that this is a product of the israeli security observation against iran. is that it is. a sugar turkey because on the one hand you don't believe that our relations to secure. israel while on the other hand cause

a very seriously indeed side to understanding. deploy the riggers just doubled the system to protect israel on our territories the vertical because the jaish well or so it pans out over the next few weeks for now jennifer use of can lay on the line from antalya there in turkey thanks spain on the program. the european human rights courts ruled that russia acted lawfully when launching a tax fraud investigation against the collapsed all john you cos judges also said the kremlin's moves were not politically motivated but the verdict also states that between the year two thousand and two thousand and one the russian government didn't give enough time for you cause to prepare is to feds added with freezing the firm's assets left of them able to function properly ever eventually forcing into bankruptcy you course is also seeking ninety eight billion dollars in damages it's the largest claim in the court fifty year history but judges say they're not ready

to rule on that yet without further evidence i thought acquaint yourself with more on this long running stories more analysis and background the whole you cause case at r.t. dot com our web site of course always putting more stories there as well for to get teeth into like the russia gives nato the cold shoulder over suggestions the new arms race is heating up in the oil great arctic now the development want to find out more about that me in the know from our website our team go home. and if your journal. if we want to meet the israeli prime minister then it seems removing your underwear could help you secure a scoop why what how find out of r.t. dot com. the former afghan president burhanuddin rabbani has been killed in a suspected suicide bombing at his home in kabul the lead afghanistan during the one nine hundred ninety s. and most recently ran the country's peace council attempting to go see it a political solution when the government of the taliban was speaking to our channel

in his last t.v. interview rabbani blamed for 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. that would sultanzoy as a political analyst and former afghan i am paid told me talk of a stable country now sounds as unrealistic as ever. it was a very moderating figure he was very important influence in bringing moderation and . stability and the politics of the country and mr karzai and others will miss that

president with the problems that we are facing are monumental problems so three years is not very much time for the problems of afghanistan is 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. making stories around the world right now fuel explosion has rocked the turkish capital killed three and injured at least fifty official say a bomb was planted in a vehicle in downtown ankara while i witnesses claim to see the burning canister thrown at parked cars were a nearby building but 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. the day of violence in the yemeni capital erupted after pro-government forces shot dead nine

their expectations with regard to the ruble the ruble fundamentally is becoming more volatile the scale of volatility within one day of trading is going to increase significantly and this is something that is yet to be stomach 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 have a look at the markets oil prices bounced back from losses in previous sessions with escalating fears of the eurozone debt crisis which continue to concern service markets lights which is currently trading at around eighty seven dollars a barrel while grant is that one hundred and eleven dollars. stocks are high erasing a drop of the session and speculation that that will do more to stimulate growth
