eleven am in the russian capital you're watching our joshua welcome to the program palestinians deserve the right to present their case for recognition in front of the u.n. security council despite u.s. threats to veto the move that's moscow's stand on the statehood bid president abbas is preparing to introduce on friday he's a marine aboard now 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 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 asking ration support any country because the truth is that the people in the middle east quartet which will not meet in the near future the region beating 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 marriage and not ready for it because there's no agreement between them we think will muslims deprive the palestinian administrator of the rights to ask the u.n. security council to speak statehood bid and 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 a member of the united nations and now twelve months later the u.s.

of course is back peddling 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 with the u.s. so against the palestinian bid for u.n. membership but if this meeting does take place one knows maybe this story will shift into a much different. it was more important reporting from new york and brian becker a prominent advocate of rallies against the war on terror told r.t. diplomatic pressure is just one of the means the u.s. is using to hold palestinian aspirations. but there's no question that the obama administration and the democratic and republican party are running through congress is exerting a men's pressure on the palestinian authority make me clear that the palestinian authority will be cut off will be deprived of the funds necessary to pay the

palestinian authority employees as has already happened much of that money was already cut in july 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 in the growing international support that makes the postilion see a new possibility at the un for recognition of palestinian statehood while the us might be defending israel's interests in the un critics accuse washington of the exact opposite during the recent arab spring america's been outspoken in its support of the liberation of muslim states but once that came into force an agent israel was the first to pay the price of the regime change parties a nice now explains how the us has pushed tel aviv into isolation. 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 the arab world by the west is not the only one paying what they do to them for those of the us you know. doing good your time there was a bit of security but now there's this as you can see on the streets israel has also been left hanging slow approach stability in neighboring egypt the massively unpopular israeli foreign policy makes a dangerous cocktail the pace for change towards those us beautician was very slow so you had a lot of frustration on one side and then you had a lot of anger. exacerbated after the killing of the five insurance world. it's always your integrity 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 a map of this road the for this situation can get worse for israel not for us who are just starting to get stronger this is not a 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 super hero flagman a wall was then built to protect the embassy but completely destroyed by protesters . this is what remains i was out but i woke up behind the repercussions of a movie a law is now being a force to egypt suffocating it's already sued for freedom and in the region the us is broken down by basic security threats as this new democracy is stuck in a spiral of certainty instability and sometimes chaos benyamin netanyahu called the

incident a near disaster being averted and might have a lot more work to do to avoid catastrophe in the future is really should worry about look at what's happening in the two very important states in the area which you have no new breeze but friendship with israel. 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 him and you and others at this point that certainly be americans are holding me to be a citizen have always had the cards up their sleeve so so i think that is something that must weigh heavily on israel of this because when it comes down. to you last chance to protect something in the end the basic problem you know i think with americans and with the western civilization change in general that we think is that it's become too much about interests not not really about humanity or about

anything though it's really become about interests and. when interest is the main drive group things become messy and egypt could become a mass that israel will have to clean up the snow way archie. here on r t a junkie's dream is a reality and again stand find out why the nato coalition is ignoring the booming afghan drug industry which is claiming lives and actually helping fund the taliban . an international team of bad inspectors has decided it will return to greece next week to carry on the country's progress in reaching its budget goals athens hopes this will help win the release of the latest emergency loans greek authorities want to convince the dance that there is they could need strict budget targets as a country desperately needs the next eight billion euro bailout package without the money the country could default within weeks however no decision will be made until

october the i.m.f. war in europe and the united states risk falling back into recession unless lawmakers act quickly also underscoring the region's difficulties was a credit rating downgrade of italy by standard and poor's financial analyst michael ross believes the constant downgrades are only putting pressure on the world economy. also to take into account that there is a kind of currency war going on especially with continuous downgrades from united states from the rating agencies here in europe i mean what does it really matter one notch or don't be such a lot psychologically it's really very very hard and in terms of currency war you have to see that their want to let fail the euro in order to keep the dollar at the end of the day this equation will not be true drove currencies will fail

in my opinion because europe and united states have more or less the same problem if you take a closer look most western countries there are all failing go all over the situation at the moment is psychologically very under a big pressure so it doesn't have any of us if the i.m.f. says such things economists michael kantaras says the e.u. crisis will have far reaching consequences for the global economy personally i mean eight plus they i mean is anybody really believe that italy deserves an eight rating their debt to g.d.p. the hundred 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 default and that means somebody has to take the pain and it's going to be either the banks for it's going to be this social bank
