two o'clock in the morning here in moscow this is our take let's take a look at your top headlines the international monetary fund is painting a gloomy outlook for the world economy saying that western nations risk falling back into recession unless they can curb their spending earlier italy took a blow from standard and poor's which dropped its credit rating archies daniel bushell reports from brussels investors call it the fault of attend a piece of bad news that triggers bad reactions across the rest of the eurozone so it's only downgrade problems not just the way it's everywhere people are really trying to resist the palmach budget cuts that the government is trying to bring through of course report with greece is planning a referendum on membership of the euro is just more bad signs that we're seeing turbulence and 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. i did both europe that was the slow recovery united states calming the return to a normal the economy growth but it was really concerned by the problems in europe and there really is 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 firings own for having too high levels of debts are really not really much of a growth strategy to get back on the right track. daniel bushell reporting veron sticking with the story financial analyst michael morris believes that the constant downgrades are putting pressure on the world economy. but you'd have also to take into account that there is a kind of currency war going on especially with these continuous downgrades from the united states from the rating agencies here in europe i mean what does it really matter one notch up or down psychologically it's really very very hard and

in terms of currency war you have to see that there was to fail that failed 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 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. and that was financial analyst michael moore talking about the grave effect of the i.m.f. downgraded and of course we have more hard hitting news coming your way including. the european human rights court has ruled russia acted the law fully in its investigation into collapsed oil giant yukos but the now defunct company is still

seeking a record ninety eight billion dollars in damages to find out why in just a few minutes. former afghan president rabbani has a been killed at his home in kabul in his last televised interview with r t he spoke about the effects of the foreign intervention in his country stay tuned for that. on to israel now where crowds of settlers and radical groups have gathered in the west bank to protest the palestinians a move for statehood recognition at the un police and the armed forces are on high alert fearing the mass marches might turn violent if settlers enter palestinian territories artie's policy or brings us the details from the israeli palestinian border. 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 that is not be punished students have said that may soon the week they will hold the school demonstrations as the united nations gets under way and discusses they bid for

statehood but this way the searches 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 here various systems across the way spend i'm not soft on the israeli settlement up it's a mob. hundreds of people marched from that statement to this end point and i'm currently on the israeli palestinian border and while the mood was quite jovial and the surface was music to 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 for 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're all saying that they plan to hold peaceful demonstrations you 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 in southern 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 the students from holding demonstrations but on the other hand and now incentives to reach the border points which evokes very real fears of violence taking place because many operations have been handing out money for within such as through a glass to all the settlements they have also been arming and training bodyguards to secure the system and they said with lines around all the settlements and given the green light to soldiers that if 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 there's a 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 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 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 that tore off the right heart of salad bars body he love. meg and hand 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. 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 i feel very very very sad because i know i know or my bombs and material. make 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 will sit the stage for the next middle east crisis

policy r.t. israel with palestine statehood bid overshadowing most proceedings at the u.n. general assembly president obama is seeking to boost the libya's new leadership by pointing out progress in the country or he's going to brings us more from this from new york. 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 vento the palestinian membership to the united nations if it house too 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 good one must deprive the kind of studio 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 in our 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 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 un security council resolution one thousand and 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 in 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 which is more important reporting for us there from new york and while the palestinians are campaigning for statehood at the u.n. some think washington is using its economic influence to stop them getting recognition. there's no question that the obama administration and the democratic and republican party operating through congress is exerting pressure on the

palestinian authority to make make clear that the palestinian authority will be cut off will be deprived of the funds necessary to pay a palestinian authority employees as has already happened much of that money was already cut in july this is pressure mounting on the palestinians to make them pull back from their right to go forward in the general assembly and ask for recognition of a palestinian state it's a lot of pressure on the palestinians but the palestinians are likewise pressured by their own people who have seen no remedy to the suffering that they suffered both in the west bank and gaza and the growing international support that makes the palestinians see a new possibility at the u.n. for recognition of palestinian statehood. the european human rights court has ruled russia acted lawfully when launching attacks fraud investigation against the collapse oil giant yukos judges also said the kremlin's motives were not

politically motivated but the verdict also states that between two thousand and two thousand and one the russian government did not give enough time for yukos to prepare its defense adding that freezing the firm's assets left it unable to function properly eventually forcing it into bankruptcy yukos is also seeking ninety eight billion dollars in damages the largest claim in the court's a fifty year history the judges say that they are not ready to rule on that without further evidence. more analysis and background information on the yukos case that are to dot com that's not the only story available online. shut wall street down found out we'll find out why this protest chant is sparking fears of an arab spring like revolution in america. and if you're a journalist not sure it would work for me but if you want to meet to be israeli prime minister. then removing your underwear could help you secure the school find out why check out our t.

dot com. former president. excuse me bull run rabani has been killed in a suspected suicide bombing at his home in kabul most recently mr rabbani round of the country's peace council attempting to negotiate a political solution between the government and the taliban and that led the main political opposition in the country in his last t.v. interview with r.t. he blamed foreign intervention for bringing 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 no country the lack of stability and they continue unarmed clashes we have to tolerate a foreign military presence i have already emphasized that there 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. that would solve them zoya political analyst and a former afghan m.p. says his death is a huge blow to the country. he was a very moderate figure and he was. very important influence in bringing moderation and. stability and the politics of the country and then mr karzai and others will miss that sort of 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 now a quick look at some other international news for you. an explosion has rocked the turkish capital killing three and injuring at least fifteen people officials there say a bomb was planted in

a vehicle in downtown and while i witnessed his claim to have seen a burning canister thrown at parked cars from a nearby building though 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. a third day of unrest in the yemeni capital of update after pro-government forces shot dead nine more people the violence abated after a ceasefire came into effect brokered by vice president and western embassadors the total number of victims since sunday has now risen to over sixty including four children the crackdown in sanaa follows reports that a power transfer could be signed something protesters have been calling for for months. a passenger train has derailed in eastern germany injuring nearly fifty people police said the incident occurred after the train crashed into a car which had been hit by another vehicle and pushed onto the tracks the driver

but we have talked in a bill south a member of the palestinian legislative council dr thank you very much for joining us here on r.t. some israeli officials admit that they are losing the battle at the united nations are you confident of a positive vote we are absolutely certain in the job there is something that's where the votes count and the security council of course you need just one of the five permanent members to say no which is precisely the united states and that

would be a veto that would stop the decision of the security council this for a while but a normal member status in the general assembly is only symbolic what do you need it for. well there's a lot of symbolism this world that people die for. respect of so many symbols the committee has many symbols that. human beings think are important so. minimize or to marginalize symbols of dignity freedom and independence but it's not all about symbols because when we become full members of all of these are directional. that gives us more clout in facing israel's attempt to deepen our occupation or settlements give us more say in determining the kind of terms that are used if we and when we go back to negotiations. i think we will have to go all the bridges are back to negotiations when barack obama became president

of the united states there was high hopes that he would play a positive role in resolving the israeli palestinian conflict but now his opposition to the vote do you see this as a stab in the back. it's really abject surrender to the israelis with it he meant it to be a stab in the back or i mean these have ended two mr netanyahu rules and it does so look because the united states it's subservient to israel. now it's because the united states government president when he faces such. huge domestic pressures and the rest of problems and then he comes close to a reelection time. he has very small margin of maneuver on other issues such as the relationship with israel. so maybe if mr obama is reelected he might be more capable of really pushing for the program he suggested two and

three years ago that all settlements ought to stop including these jerusalem so that it would allow more reasonable climate for negotiations all you can say that's going to be financed for several months now the israeli army has been preparing for violence but there are those who are saying that it's almost as if it's creating the violence in a speculation for it. yes that i think that's our. hypothesis that if there is any violence it would be really created by this radius but we'll do our best not to respond and then violence is not a passive. passive reaction to racial or oppression for that matter but violence is people's determination to get what they want without violence this way to say let's negotiate let's sort out all the outstanding issues and then no recognize a palestinian state you know somebody takes your house and. occupies

all of it but says that the only thing i want is the garden and the basement but in the meanwhile i occupy all your home to force you to do so. let's negotiate so you negotiate another of the things you agree he ever implements that's what the israelis are doing we've been negotiating for twenty years after madrid for eighteen years after signing those two agreement which required them to withdraw from every inch of palestine with the exception of jerusalem and settlements in three years which they didn't do so it is utterly ridiculous come to us to do what our negotiations are still necessary absolutely necessary but the goshi ations need always two very important international conditions one you stick to the reference you don't keep changing the terms of rules and do what you agree you implement if

you don't follow these two rules negotiations are a few tight is useless what are the details of the new plan and how will the two states co-exist know the two the stool states will definitely coexist in peace because that where there is a a full withdrawal of this radius from our state we signed a peace agreement we will. definitely commit ourselves to all the steps of neighborliness security and peace but what if israelis as isn't as a pated don't withdraw from the disputed territories we will continue to put all the one violent pressure that we have to get them out and i think this step will help us gain more ammunition peaceful a violation if they succeed on the independence vote which is unusual access to the international criminal court if we become a member of the international criminal court and i hope we world that would be really our best defense against any further israeli crimes several people asked me

like what i said like going into gaza and killing fourteen hundred people with phosphorus bombs and napalm how important in the biggest struggle of the palestinian people in. this independence but it's a step it's not the end of the game it's a step it's a step that we should give us a little bit more ability to defend our case and go to proper goshi ations produce results. it's no more than that though we have been for a century trying to have it depends for. its you could win the armed struggle would you go she asians we were in the political struggle. we are decided now not to go back to by elizabeth for this is a non violent step in the right direction dr bell south thank you very much for joining us here on alt.
