tonight we're told you're very cool very pretty trying to undermine. in serbia let's use it really good and hard we can see they are going to. russia urges the palestinian bid for statehood to be given for time at the un security council as washington threatens to use its veto power against you know the u.n. world move. the u.s. is accused of encouraging the arab spring to achieve its own interest even though its sacrifice the position of its closest ally israel leaving it isolated. the international team of dead inspectors sees progress in talks with greece while the i.m.f. warns the global economy is in a perilous state. plus in business russia's two main bourses are a step closer to foreign allies in their multibillion dollar merger and we'll have more on that in business in twenty minutes.

watching are you live from moscow ninety and here on marina joshie welcome to the program palestinians deserve a ride to prison and their case for recognition in front of the u.n. security council despite u.s. threats to veto the move that's moscow stand on to statehood bid president abbas is preparing to introduce on friday or he's worried a fortnight has more from new york. issue that remains at center stage for those attending the united nations general assembly is the issue of the palestinian campaign for a u.n. membership and statehood is something that the majority of the general assembly does support but it is something that the united states has been speaking out against that the u.s. has the right and use its veto in the security council because no sides palestine or israel are ready to return to the negotiating table but foreign minister lavrov

did say that it is within palestinians right to ask for u.n. membership and the united states should not get in the way of aspirations for any country. in the middle east which it will not meet in the near future but 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 sort of the negotiating table first would both sides are not ready for it because there's no agreement between them we think that when muslims deprive the palestinian ministration of the rights to ask the u.n. security council to speak statehood when it was just this time last year that u.s. president barack obama addressed the international body saying that when he comes back to the united nations in two thousand and eleven he hopes that palestine will be of member of the united nations and now told by slater the u.s.

is backpedaling and threatening to veto the aspirations of palestine also reports coming out that u.s. president barack obama will be meeting with palestinian president mahmoud abbas this was a meeting that was not scheduled up to this point of course that the u.s. so against the policy and bid for u.n. membership but if this meeting does take place who knows maybe the story will shift into a much different. reimport now reporting in from new york and while the palestinians are campaigning for statehood and u.n. some that we've washington is using its economic influence to hold such efforts from going through there's no question that the obama administration and the democratic and republican party are proving through congress is exerting immense pressure on the palestinian authority make make clear that the palestinian authority will be cut off will be deprived of the funds necessary to pay

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 polls that he is with 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 polls that you can see a new possibility at the u.n. for recognition of palestinian statehood and while the u.s. is at the forefront of lobbying against the palestinians separations in support of israeli stand it's also the one that encouraged the arab spring that led to tel aviv's further isolation critics say in determining foreign policy it's the america's own interests that cord not friendship he's a nice now explains. democracy has

a price the people of egypt have spoken. their voices have been heard and egypt will never be the same and the new egypt embraced as a positive example of change in the arab world by the west is not the only one paying what for us to think. you know. doing good your time there was a bit of security but now there's this security on the streets israel has also been left hanging a slow road to stability in neighboring egypt mixed with a massively unpopular israeli foreign policy makes a dangerous cocktail the case for change towards those this prediction was very slow so you have a lot of frustration on one side and then you have a lot of anger that. exacerbated after the killing of the five if you can soldiers on egyptian territory by israeli gunfire. taking up the situation even further the

recent attack on the israeli embassy in cairo protesters threw stones and stormed the building as military police stood by and watched for hours three demonstrators were killed and over a thousand injured in the map of this as the flu this situation can get worse for israel not for us who are just starting to get stronger this is no negative thing for us but a plus. the protester who took down the israeli flag at the embassy in august was held as egypt's new superhero flagman a wall was then built to protect the embassy but completely destroyed by protesters . that's what remained on that wall but everyone behind the repercussions of the movie was now within force to egypt suffocating it's already freedom and in the region the u.s. is strongest ally facing security threats as this new mom. this thing is stuck in

a spiral of uncertainty instability and sometimes chaos binyamin netanyahu called the incident a near disaster being diverted and might have a lot more work to do to avoid catastrophe in the future is really shouldn't worry about look at what's happening in. two very important states i would choose to have not only peace but friendship with israel are at odds with israel and its number one friend seems to be having trouble keeping a balance when it comes to promoting arab democracy and protecting israel security it must occur to others at this point but certainly be americans are being says and have all the cards up their sleeve so so i think that's something that must weigh heavily on israel it is because when it comes down to it the us tends to protect one thing in the end the basic problem you know i think with americans and with the

western civilization in general that we think is that it's become too much about interests not not really about humanity or about anything go it's really become about interests and when interest is the main driver of things become messy and egypt could become a mess that israel will have to clean up these in our way are cheap cars. on the way here on our team john his dream is their reality in of get a steer find out why the nato coalition is ignoring the booming afghan drug industry which is claiming lives and actually helping fund the taliban. and international team of data inspectors has decided it will return to greece next week to check on the country's progress in reaching its budget goals avon's hopes this will help win the release of the latest emergency loans greek authorities want to convince the devon specters they could need strong. the target as

a country desperately needs their next eight billion euro bailout package without the money the country could default within weeks however no decision will be made until after war in europe and the united states risk falling back into recession unless lawmakers quickly also underscoring the region's difficult piece was a credit rating downgrade of ailey standard and poor's by actual analyst michael ross believes the constant downgrades are only putting pressure on the world economy. has also to take into account that there is a kind of currency war going on. from the rating agencies here in europe i mean what does it really matter. psychologically it's really very very hard and in terms of currency you have to see to. feel the euro in order to keep the dollar at the end of this equation will

not be true rove. will fail in my opinion because europe. if you take a closer look at most western countries they are all failing go all over the situation at the moment is. under big pressure so it doesn't have any of us if the i.m.f. says such things economists michael pangle says that you crisis will have far reaching consequences for the global economy. personally i mean a plus day i mean is anybody really believe that italy deserves an a rating their debt to g.d.p. is one hundred twenty percent and rising a significant number of european banks are insolvent the e.c.b. has to buy all of that sovereign debt and take it off their balance sheet that is the final answer greece will the fall and that means somebody has to take the pain

and it's going to be either the banks or it's going to be this central bank creating inflation and then everybody suffers get ready for a protracted and significant increase in inflation both in europe and japan in the united states. now let's take a look at some other stories from around the world first in yemen were among the longed for cease fire has come into effect in the capital after three days of violence which killed sixty two people more than one hundred were taken to hospitals with wounds from gunfire and shelling the crackdown by reports the country's vice president could sign an initiative arranging the transfer of power to something protesters have been calling for for months. to leave an interim prime minister says the country's new governments will be announced within seven to ten days you use changer in a press conference hosted by g eight foreign ministers and followed the welcome of

witnesses have also since changed their testimony more than one million people worldwide have signed petitions for amnesty international said georgia's discredited the justice system and will execute an innocent man davis is due to face stiff. lethal injection on wednesday. to mexico now where gunmen have dumped the bodies of thirty five people on the roadway during rush hour in the gulf state of veracruz the victims were found in two trucks left near a shopping mall in the city of the real police identified seven of them and all have criminal backgrounds including stuart and tell his side and drug trafficking but that of rio has become a frequent side of clashes between armed groups as drug related violence grows. so that on this hour here in our team no more rush hour would travel to one place on earth for air pollution is a thing of the past and daily commute is

a delight. yet it stands mourning the death of its former president who was a key negotiator with the taliban but i haven't seen her rabani was killed by a suicide bomber at his home in the capital kabul on tuesday it's believed the explosives were hidden in the attackers turban rabbani had low peace talks with insurgents over the last year and was considered one of the most influential figures in the country the killings but latest in a string of high profile says nations have gathered stan and second taliban attack in kabul in a week r t was the last channel to interview mr rabbani before it is fair to blame a nato occupation of his country for the ongoing civil war which has claimed thousands of lives. for the people of afghanistan do not want foreign troops history we don't want a nation security to depend on foreign military presence it's simply unacceptable however considering the critical security situation in our country the lack of

stability and the continuing armed clashes were forced to tolerate the presence of nato but there would never have been a civil war in afghanistan and no problems with the taliban if we hadn't been invaded by foreign forces the people of afghanistan had managed to live for centuries without she's lying. well you watch that full interview with the late mr rabbani on our website our t.v. dot com. and there were there are less taliban stepping up its attacks across a gas stand why they are main sources of income is in full bloom the country's infamous drug trade kills thousands of users worldwide here helping insurgents combat the nail occupation but critics say the alliance has made little effort to rout out the deadly business during its ten year along campaign artie's igor piskun our reports from kabul. the penalty for drinking beer in kabul is sixty whips on the back publicly it is a very traditional muslim society or is it there are dozens of people if not more

was key enemy in the region meanwhile the international community and spends billions of dollars to fight drug traffic but since nato has no legal way to coordinate the funds are spent with very little positive results while officials say the multi-billion dollar afghan drug network has the whole world and it's a group. of fourteen kabul afghanistan. and all of our stories news and latest videos are available on our website r.t.d. our current twenty four hours a day here's what we have in line for you today. it's oriel drug cartels that operates out of the u.s. border have been organizing parties for american officials and hire. a masterpiece by the famous painting of marc chagall well go under a hammer during at sotheby's auction amid speculation in a break all records are a website for more.

hello and welcome to business here are largely russia's two major bore says my socks any r.t.s. are finally putting the finishing touches to their five billion dollar merger the new brand of a combined stock exchange will be presented early next year and the new and something will be sold to the public for an i p l which is so far planned for twenty thirteen righties lore and it has all the details for us. there are no new legal obstacles to the merger between the r.t.s. and the my statics exchanges the mergers been approved by the federal monopoly service and it's now on to the technical details which are not you when you're talking about joining together an index the trades mostly in equities and currencies and another index that trades mostly into riveted on the different technical platforms nineteen person has already been appointed from the banking community and from the brokerage community and now from here until the end of december it's that the legal merger between the two indexes will be completed and

also the merger of some of the markets during that time they'll be testing the systems they'll be synchronizing the indices in terms of and also they hope to create a single technological point to both indices they'll also have to make sure of course that the service they offer is interrupted that there is no loss of quality and also to integrate all those technological details. to have a full set of instruments a full package of operations to be one of the exchanges and in the next couple of years to be in the top ten in terms of revenue first priority integration second priority to i.p.o. roundabout two thousand and thirteen obviously the overall goal of this is to make her into a global financial center and the c.e.o.'s of the r.t.s. and my sex who were here in london on tuesday say this is not the only thing that needs to be done to create a global financial center in moscow but it's certainly a big step in the right direction. the russian ruble continue searching against the

main currencies it's reached the lowest level against the u.s. dollar in ten months in a service of all look at deutsche bank doesn't believe the ruble is any riskier than other currencies are the moment but he does advise to diversify if possible. well prices are still be economy is still very strong. so the doesn't seem to be. urgent need to drastically shift from one currency and for the other clearly we're living in the very unstable period and films of the roman from markets so what makes sense is. what makes the. rubles hold some dollars and in europe and if you have their ways of diversifying your savings only for the better. would be the simple approach the best approach i think . in order to be difference of the. markets currently i

personally think there is no fundamental reason to avoid the ruble morse. other currencies. have the markets that will start with oil prices are mixed this hour after seeing some gains on tuesday in fears over the euro zone that prices are still keeping concerns over demand light sweet is currently trading close to eighty seven dollars per barrel while the prime plan this out one hundred ten dollars and sixty three cents per barrel let's move on to asia markets there are also mixed with investors waiting for the conclusion of it to their u.s. federal reserve policy meeting sovereign debt woes are weighing on sentiment there as well exporters are one of the main gainers in japan was the point six percent company said it plans to double its first have dividends and the banking stocks are under pressure in hong kong with h.s.b.c.

down a third of a percent. here in russia markets also are trading a last in one hour they closed in the black on tuesday tracking gains overseas the r.t.s. rose zero point six percent more than my sights were now by almost two percent. or so from what i've seen metropole says investors are waiting for news from the fed meeting in the us which will be later in the day and anything from the euro zone. the one is waiting for the new measures from their non cure but still we understand there is a lack of tools bernanke you can use for supporting our situation in the us see the same thing happens. when standard recent threw in some people it is not the last negative in humans from europe and looks like mostly investors are sitting in the cash. and that's all there is for now for more so as you can always head to our website our kids can slash business but in the meantime thank them for the

headlines and buy from there. this was a city. of about one hundred ninety thousand people and we had eighty thousand

people working for general motors. or a job that depended on general motors. general motors is if it's not relations you it might be your neighbor or somebody you knew it was kind of a family run business you know myself i'm third generation my father was working there and you have a lot of two three and four generation families there their first let's understand that. this is a dozen here. then he said. it is gone rewarding me into work. i think for a long time this notion in america that bigger was better was simply an undisputed fact in the twenty first century smarter it's going to be better general motors simply became too large for their own good and so many brands that they couldn't even keep up.
