very warm welcome to you this is r.t. live from moscow with me reception palestinians are cheering on their leaders attempts to win a membership to the u.n. general assembly with massive rallies all across the west bank looking at live pictures right here on our see these are from ramallah just a day before president abbas presents the plan before the international body. back a bit saying palestinians deserve rights of put their case forward but the u.s. tries to halt that presentation claiming it will veto the move unless palestinians and israelis launch. has details on this for us from new york. the issue that remains at center stage for those attending the united nations general assembly is the issue of the palestinian campaign for u.n. membership and state why it is something that a majority of the general assembly does support but it is something that the united
6:02 am
states has been speaking out against that the u.s. has threatened to 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. that the new play in the middle east will 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 really the palestinian administrator of the rights to the u.n. security council to speak statehood was just this time last year that u.s.
6:03 am
president barack obama addressed the international body saying that when he comes 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 pedaling 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 policy and bid for u.n. membership but if this meeting does take place well knows maybe this story will shift into a much different. the reporting process from new york now while the u.s. might be defending israel's interest in the u.n. critics accuse washington of the exact opposite during the recent arab spring
6:04 am
america has been outspoken in its support of the liberation of muslim states but once that came into force in egypt israel was the first to pay the price of the regime change he said he said now explains how the u.s. has pushed you 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 did for us the us. doing during your time there was a bit of security but now there's this as it was on the streets israel has also been. slow road to stability in neighboring egypt makes the massively unpopular israeli foreign policy makes a dangerous cocktail that pays for change towards those us beautician was very
6:05 am
things though so you had a lot of frustration on one side and then you had a lot of anger that. exacerbated after the killing of the five if you can soldiers on egyptian territory by israeli gunfire. shaking up the situation even further the recent attack on the israeli embassy in cairo protesters threw stones and strummed the building as military police stood by and watch from our words three demonstrators were killed and over a thousand injured people in the math of this so that's why 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. for the protester who took down the israeli flag at the embassy was held as egypt's. new superhero fuck man i was then built to protect the embassy but completely destroyed by protesters. this is what remains.
6:06 am
behind all repercussions a movement is now doing and forced to and he just suffocating it's already served freedom and in the region the us is strongest. facing security threats as this new democracy is stuck in a spiral of uncertainty instability and sometimes chaos binyamin netanyahu called the incident a near disaster being the furred it might have a lot more work to do to avoid catastrophe in the future israel should worry about look at what's happening in to give egypt two very important states in the area which used to have peace but friendship with israel. obs with israel and its number one friend seems to be having trouble keeping up balance when it comes to promoting arab democracy and protecting israel security it must occur to him and you and others at this point but certainly be americans are holding the gates isn't
6:07 am
have all they have the cards up their sleeve so so i think that's something that must weigh heavily on on israel because when it comes down to it the u.s. tends to protect something in the end the basic problem you know i think with the americans and with the west and so i think all the way the thing is that it's become too much about the interests not not really about humanity or about anything else 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 nice in our way archie carter. across one of those in ramallah where the palestinians are taking part in a mass demonstration of what is a. high to you are these protests looking they appear peaceful or something impressive show of support where you are what are they hoping to achieve.
6:08 am
well there's a real saturday since here in the west bank city of ramallah there's a hell of a noise which is why it's difficult to get a question but it still is because only this morning wayne state government institutions have struck down and there are literally thousands upon thousands of people here on the streets you really get a sense of history in the making and those people that are being told to say that they feel proud and honored that finally decades of struggle have accommodated in a declaration of a palestinian state now there's a constant on the go there are people walking around holding flags there are pictures every way of all of the format palestinian leader yasser arafat as well as the current president mahmoud abbas there are people holding out slogans saying welcome palestine it's almost a foregone conclusion here that the united nations will recognize the state of palestine now they were reports of some clashes not too far away from here at the
6:09 am
kalandia checkpoint which is the checkpoint between israel and the my left those were clashes between palestinians and i.d.f. soldiers we understand that the situation at the moment is under control but that certainly highlights the warrior on the israeli side that demonstrations quite common a few some kind of violence but certainly here within the kind of stimulus cities you don't get a sense of that at all the palestinian state the demonstrations and protests would be peaceful and so to speak at the moment they are there's a real sense of conical atmosphere on the go now we have been hearing some kind of rumors that there is a deal that has been brokered that he kind of thing and president mahmoud abbas has agreed to some kind of compromise that would see him on friday handing over the kind of stand with the statehood that agreed to delay the vote on that until sometime next year nice indeed this is true it means that american and israeli patience has. adolph what they've been pushing for is for some kind of negotiation
6:10 am
some kind of peace talks to restart and for a key skill to the on the table before the palestinians declare a state these ladies and the americans have been putting a lot of pressure on the palestinian president mahmoud abbas called months now not to go ahead with this but at the united nations the israelis has been conducting an international diplomatic campaign to try and build up support against the palestinian bird the israeli army for months has been in training it's been arming state says it's been providing supplies to stay at home and the americans called a side have stopped funding and started putting pressure on those at the steve donor's family americans those organizations that provide money to the kindest thing is so much happening on the international front but certainly here in palestine itself one gets a sense of history in the making. as you were saying as you were saying the u.s. and israel basically opposed to a palestinian bid for un stated but as we know apparently one hundred forty states
6:11 am
have pledged their support for palestine as you said moments ago it could indeed be a case of history in the making policy of life or not i thank you. but on the way here nancy a life of a drunk is the reality in afghanistan find out why the nato coalition is ignoring the afghan drug industry which is claiming lives and actually helping to fund it but taliban. international team of spector's has decided it will return to greece and next week to check on the country's progress in reaching its budget goals athens hopes this will help to win the release of the latest emergency loans. want to convince the debt inspectors they could meet strict budget targets as the country desperately needs the next eight billion euro bailout package without the money the country could default within weeks however no decision it will be made in till october the i.m.f. is one that europe and the united states of the risk of falling back into recession

situation at the moment it is psychologically very under big pressure so it doesn't hurt any of us if the i.m.f. says such things. meantime economist michael paper says the e.u. crisis will have far reaching consequences for the entire global economy. i mean a plus to a i mean is anybody really believe that italy deserves an eight 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 default and that means somebody has to take the pain and eternity either the very. poor 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 in japan in the

6:17 am
been the governor of russia's northern capital if your popularity sank over the past few years because of your unpopular support of several construction projects and the way in useful services operated in the city but their qualities as a manager as a leader are very hard to underestimate if we look for example at the city budget of some because of two thousand and three when she only took up the job it stood at some two billion dollars and today that she leaves her position her post as the governor of some pittsburgh the city budget is over ten billion dollars. i think the current approach of reporting from. afghanistan's mourning the death of its former president he was a key to go share it with the taliban. was killed by a suicide bomber his home in the capital kabul. it's believed the explosives were actually hidden in the attackers turban rabbani had talks with the insurgents over the last year and was considered one of the most influential figures in the country
6:18 am
. latest in a string of high profile assassinations in afghanistan the second taliban attack on kabul in just a week we were the last channel to interview mr rabbani just before his death. of his country for the ongoing civil war which has claimed thousands of lives. the people of afghanistan do not want foreign troops to stay here we don't want our nation security to depend on a foreign military presence it's simply unacceptable however considering the critical security situation in our country the lack of stability in 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 ghana stan had managed to live for centuries without searching fighting and then you can watch the rest of it and you are with the late mr rabbani on our website. www dot. their relentless taliban stepping up attacks all across one of the main sources of income is in full

a russia is one of the worst affected street with around eighty tons of heroin thought to a new resettle in the country like those it's tragic that despite the enormous resources nato has put into afghanistan including military force drug production is just phenomenal moreover the head of nato military committee personally told me fighting drug production is not their goal there was no such directive. i mean the experts find this a bit strange given the fact that a large part of revenues from drug money is used to sponsor the taliban needles key enemy in the region meanwhile the international community and spends billions of dollars to fight afghanistan's drug traffic but since nato has no legal way to coordinate the funds are spent with very little by their results while official see the multi-billion dollar drug network as the whole world in its group you've got us going off or keep kabul afghanistan and there's more on the problems of drugs in
