pm in moscow i match reza good to have you with us here on r t our top story thousands of palestinians are marching across the west bank to support their leaders move to win recognition for their state at the u.n. it's an atmosphere of jubilation as government services and schools were closed to allow people out onto the streets and demonstrate or he's paul's leader has more. it's being high so it's right across the west bank of this major that some twenty thousand people have taken to the space of a mind that people took up work the schools closed early and needed the businesses shut down on standing in on an hour which is really the focal point of the fire and in this area the businesses the shops and the restaurants have been opened so that people can really celebrate with almost a clone of the atmosphere now this doesn't kick start three days of peaceful demonstrations of the palestinians and the sausage there to see folding in the run

up to the palestinian president mahmoud abbas making their bid on friday for statehood at the united nations we've seen some of that such celebrations across the west bank in hebron there were an estimated seventeen thousand people turning out for parties and connell's today and a similar scene unfolding in bethlehem and in nablus they wanted to ask the latest incidents of violence if it did change it will had these had the potential to modern day one in kalandia checkpoint not far from here it was also a little bit of violence in hebron both of those have been able to control and the people i've been talking to say that not only do they have a commitment to holding peaceful demonstrations but certainly to have a commitment to making sure that this historic moment on the world stage is seen and felt by everyone in the international community for the israeli army certainly has been painful violence but what many say is that we must in the corporation it's almost encouraging if one can say that the violence has happened what civil month israeli army has been undergoing an operation called operation on the scene and

this is all this fear that these people demonstrations or the palestinians say they will fold could iraq to understand into violence that their eyes not only on the palestinian israeli army also has their eye on the roughly half a million israelis states as just yesterday there were a number of demonstrations by israeli state says across the west bank in the fifth as themselves are adamant that they will not allow the palestinians to do what they say take over their land now we are hearing initial rumors that some kind of deal has been. struck behind the scenes we do not have confirmation that he did not have the details of the gate but what we do understand is that the kind of scene in president mahmoud abbas might one fine day the philip making his bid for statehood but instead of asking for the vote to happen at the same time he might delay that until potentially sometime next year if indeed this is the case it means that america can and has made pressure on the palestinians has come to basically just certainly stand for the showdown over palestinian statehood said to dominate the

u.n. general assembly where the majority of the international community including russia are ready to support the bid however the u.s. says a palestinian state can only be achieved through talks with israel parties maria portnoy has more from new york. u.s. president barack obama did address the international body and specifically addressed the issue of how to stand state hood the u.s. leaders said that peace will not come through statements or view when resolutions and that the united nations should be encouraging palestine and israel to get back to the negotiation table this is basically a way that he would say that the united nations no resolution no vote upcoming vote on palestinian membership will help the situation in any way the united states has said outright that it will veto the palestinian membership the united nations a campaign that's been going on for quite a while the majority of u.n. member states hundred ninety three of them

a majority of them do support palestine on its u.n. membership and statehood and that includes russia now russian's foreign minister sergei lavrov did address the press say that it's preferred for palestine and israel to get back to the negotiation table first the united states should not use its veto to block the aspirations of the palestinians or any other country and as we know the u.s. said that it will do so as the palestinian leaders are expected to officially submit their request for u.n. membership this friday more heads of state will be addressing the united nations on their vision to bring peace and security to the world but the issue of palestine is one that's going to continue to dominate all the discussions u.s. president barack obama will be meeting one on one with israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu and shortly after he will be meeting one on one with palestinian president mahmoud abbas so he will be talking to both of them what many believe is that the u.s. is trying really hard to prevent the palestinian campaign for u.n.

membership or at least stall it so the u.s. would not be forced to cast a veto. so does that have on this we're joined by journalist and author often written so you live in london bridge for being with us so the french president has proposed a timetable for israeli palestinian peace within a year meanwhile there have been rumors suggesting that president abbas has accepted a compromise to postpone the vote what do you think will happen tomorrow. well president for me in folding very easily we know from the palestine papers how he folded so easily during negotiations but the really disgraceful act here is the united states at least stated would mean that. the state of i could take the israel to the i.c.c. for war for what that's worth so do you think the us support for israel after un makes it a good choice as a mediator in the crease in the peace process i'm guessing you don't but go ahead and a lot right exactly the answers in that question has disgraced himself at the u.n.

today by saying that the un the peace doesn't come through things at the un through resolutions of the un probably not for america usually it's war that comes through resolutions of united states proposes at the u.n. when he when george mitchell his piece on voice resigned and he sent susan rice to veto a resolution on israeli settlements we know where obama's money comes from it comes from the girl is of a pack and is proved itself for the united states and. it will be hated right across the arab world and i do hope the american government realizes quite what the consequences for the united states personnel united states people all around will be for what they're doing right now regardless of whether about folds will well if the vote does happen what do you think will be. well back in the forty's the soviet union used to veto. things and the united states made

a unilateral decision to say we will not veto applications to join the united nations so they will be broken that rule already some say of course. it satisfy the montevideo accords of water is that this peace process peace process we know is you know wants and we know what the united states wants out of it it wants well it's government it's congressman they want to get paid by zionist zionist organization but as i said because it once is dreadful for u.s. interests as for the european union i mean they don't even have a good solution at least a gay lobby in russia seems to be saying that the u.s. should not use its veto what president sarkozy said the talks were doomed to failure side said preconditions for each other what do you think about that i think president sarkozy's position on these matters again very much on that side and it doesn't bode very well for all his attempts to join in the arab spring whether it's

for his petrol companies to elfin french companies we don't know but it is interesting that the arab spring all those people the pro-democracy protesters protesting the dictatorship backed by the west the united states will be watching all of this very closely the average person in the street in the west bank or in gaza or in ramallah will be watching obama's speech about peace not coming from the u.n. very carefully and you see a return to peace talks between israelis and palestinians at some point as obama ends arcos he is or are urging. i think one would hope that a more unified palestinian position will emerge out of this with hamas and the palestinian authority coming together as they have been they've been having talks and let's not forget the egyptian government now no it's just a complete patsy of the united states as the power rules change now in any peace talks that happen israel is seeing itself more and more and more isolated right

colonel is an author option response the thanks for a perspective. the u.s. is a big supporter of israel at the u.n. but it's backing for the arab spring threatens to leave its main middle east ally in isolation and u.s. got behind the most of the movement for democracy but a new regime in egypt has left israel picking up the pieces of broken relations and us and our way has more from cairo. democracy has a price 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 for what they did it because it's a good thing as you know i think during the earlier times there was a bit of security but now there's less as you can see 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 had a lot of frustration on one side and then you had a lot of anger that. exacerbated after the killing of the five protection soldiers all egyptian territory by israeli gunfire. taking out 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. michel that's it 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 in august was hailed as egypt's new super hero flagman. has been built to protect the

embassy but completely destroyed by protesters. this is what remains i doubt that but bethlehem behind all repercussion emergency was now being enforced here in egypt suffocating it's already sued for freedom and in the region the u.s. is strongest ally in facing security threats as this new democracy is stuck in a spiral of uncertainty instability and sometimes chaos. then. it's in your hand called the incident a near disaster being averted 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 would choose to have not only peace but friendship with israel. obs 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 netanyahu and others at this point that certainly be americans are holding the being says they have all year because it's 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 one thing in the end the basic problem here i think with americans and with the western civilization can in general the way they're handling things is that it's become too much about 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 live with and he's now r.t. cairo. stay with us here on r t plenty more coming your way including the tough life of an afghan junkie a look at our most every family living in the world's biggest producer of opiates is dealing with the scourge of narcotics. but first the international monetary fund

i think what governments are most worried about because if the banks are seem to fail and not prepared to learn from each other then we have another we have a repeat of the credit crunch where if banks don't lend to each other they also can't lend to businesses and that is what then leads to recession or possibly even the pression it's very difficult to trace who actually holds that definition if you can trace that there other than insurance companies that in a sense have insured the banks against the fall with of a could actually afford to pay out is another question again again. don't some unknowns of investors in the minds of certainly your bond holders as to whether it's worth going on holding. commentary for a financial writer peterbilt and his assessment of the euro. zone's debt crisis. hundreds have gathered in kabal to mourn the assassination of former afghan president of bernadine rabbani and key figure in current peace talks with the taliban was killed at his home by
