3:02 am
the question of becoming an independent state being recognized by the united nations on a friday and there is definitely a lot of uncertainty when it comes to this issue since. the u.s. president barack obama said that he wants to see an independent palestine and so who is really authorities by actually met with both the is really leadership and palestinian authorities as well and it seems that the u.s. and israel are on the same page when it comes to seeing an independent palestine in the future of what they say that this can only be done through dialogue through negotiations specifically between palestine and israel while it is planning to take this issue to the united nations and president obama said that the u.s. is not a place where this independent palestinian state could be born and so the u.s.
3:03 am
has been threatening that it would veto such a resolution or recognizing that as an independent country meanwhile russia has been persuading washington not to veto these talks but when it comes to barak obama he is really in a difficult position on this issue since it was a year ago that he said the establishment of an independent palestinian state should happen in two thousand and eleven and at the same time and barack obama has been supporting the arab spring with those wanting change and improvement in their lives in egypt. and so on so he can't really backoff with power right now because this may cause quite a negative effect on the. image of these. so-called liberated countries in the middle east but at the same time with israel being one of washington's key allies
3:04 am
in the region it can't washington can't back off as well the palestinians have been saying that these negotiations with israel have been going on for over a decade and they still haven't really led to anything so. have been saying that they can't back down. now as well because that is a main idea of the palestinian people to gain independence from israel so we will be watching how the story continues to develop and of course waiting for friday on this issue will be raised at the united nations here in new york. europe is going after important there and the us acts like it's more than a single body of the united nations violating their pluralism are the world group and that's the view of the iranian president mahmoud ahmadinejad who spoke to r.t. on the situation in palestine. and this is the continuation of suppressing the rights of the palestinian people and the palestinian nation they are people like
3:05 am
all the other nations they must have the right to determine their own destiny they must have the right to choose their destiny on the other hand if the united nations is truly pluralistic in its makeup then why would they allow a country to see itself and speak of itself as the chief of the united nations a pluralistic representative body and also why can they dictate to the united states the true single member of a much larger body and it should have a single vote then why does that vote all that pressure carry so much more weight. and you can watch that interview in full next hour here in our team while a report on why the u.s. is so much against iranian policies is coming your way shortly before the pro palestinian sentiment was even felt at the very doorstep of the u.n. when hundreds of orthodox jews took to the streets of new york demanding the israeli government recognize palestine as an independent state here while in the west bank reports about
3:06 am
a deliberate provocation against palestinian demonstrators by israeli settlers to cross the military to intervene and crack down on the rallies and across europe which has tried to remain neutral activists to chant slogans and wave bearers for the past. parties or am and brings us more from one. visit base between the israelis and the palestinians has come here to downing street as a group of pets handed a petition to prime minister david cameron saying that he should support the palestinian authorities because the recognition by the united nations david cameron of course will go that would see the end of this week to talk about the situation of the middle. please the group behind me say that un recognition for the palestinian authority is the only way to then ensure further negotiations then a two state solution and peace in the region i speak to some of the secretaries that petition at downing street kids what they. represent the views of the country
3:07 am
who overwhelmingly is the you've got surveyed citizens of the u.k. supporting palestine's right to existence and self-determination my message should david cameron the british government owes it to defy the stimulants that is a modern and this product responsibility for the british government because you would think us foot in the in the fourth is you have created this it office said it is about time that you have to stay here in this country say that sixty percent rounds of house a few cases believe that palestine should be recognised as the states in its own right and that they get increases in france and in germany but despite that none of these governments have yet come out in support of recognizing that the studio states it remains to be seen what will happen at the un towards the end of this week i think deed whether david cameron will take this position it's a sin recognize this and put it into full. or amateur reporting there the us
3:08 am
president justified his veto ultimatum by saying that while palestinians do deserve a state it could only come through direct talks with israel which got on for decades however a palestinian journalist l yes and here he says george states in front stretches far into capitol hill. the real problem of the person the person is a be facing with israeli prime minister and you know is that dates back to the day when he appeared in the congress and then he delivered his historical speech and then every three or four minutes the members of the congress would just stand up and applaud what he said and there was a message from the penny out on a t. shirt showing him that who is really the boss in washington and it seems that nothing else since then has been intoxicated with this kind of victory achieved in the congress and has been he has been behaving in a very intense into a not listening to the palestinians not listening even to the american envoys who have reached who have come to the reason for so many times of dozens of hours this is one of the reasons why a person has come to the united nations has been looking for his partner in israel
3:09 am
but they are believed to be the no partner partner up of this moment the problem is the lack of corporation of the israeli so i went on with the settlement activities not only in the west bank but also in east jerusalem blowing up every chance of reaching an agreement with the patterson is and this is the what could. an iranian president is to address the un general assembly however many american politicians and some protestors outside the united nations are opposed to mom would have made it into even being their artist christine explores why it is considered public enemy number one to so many. just about everywhere you look at iran it continues to develop nuclear weapons someone whether politician or pundit are controlled by a fanatical regime is beating the drums of war how close are we to the point of no return well i think we may be past the point of no return in the sense that iran
3:10 am
does have inside the country everything it needs to produce a nuclear weapon that point of no return often exaggerated according to journalist seymour hersh whose in-depth articles recently this one in the new yorker have illustrated time and time again the lack of evidence of a nuclear threat from iran the rhetoric though has resulted in widespread support for harsh actions against the country we support a station's program that's the scientists the punishment is. aimed at stopping the iranians from doing something we know we know they're not doing things is called for repeatedly by the obama administration so let me be clear iran's nuclear and ballistic missile actively poses a real threat not just to the united states but to ron's neighbors and our allies hers compares president obama's attitude toward iran to bush and cheney's policy toward iraq they want to punish they want to make a case against iraq they didn't want their politics. so we made
3:11 am
a case about nuclear weapons we refused number they were talking about mushroom clouds make a case to go to war. and to war america went. many worry it could happen as well in iran if rhetoric becomes reality he ran is in a very perilous position it's obvious that the crosshairs are on them squarely in the. one wants to know how it would begin to look no further than those hoping to have their finger on the button here's john mccain four years ago the old beach boys song bomb iran. and history does in fact repeat itself with the greatest threat to the security the world is a nuclear iran and iran is a country that has killed more american men and women in uniform in iraq in afghanistan than the iraqis and the afghanistan share this is last month's g.o.p. presidential debate in iowa only one candidate strayed from the script just think of how many nuclear weapons surround iran the chinese are there the iranians are
3:12 am
the pakistan is there why wouldn't it be natural that they might want to weapons there'd be internationally they'd be given more respect but one man given very little respect on u.s. soil iranian president mahmoud ahmadinejad number one villain for so many in this. last year a group united against nuclear iran with these posters up all over new york city perpetuating the idea of a hostile iran below the rest of the economy is sinking in the military industrial complex grows and grows and grows in other words war is good business not it may also be good business to take a closer look at the way the narrative unfolds this time around to ask when you hear the drums of war being beaten yet again if it is in fact and not are of preparedness and process or if it is simply propaganda. in washington christine for sound our team. still is on in the program why we may do well to watch the sky
3:13 am
and the coming few days. and all the assets satellite is on its way back to earth but it's not expected to land in an orderly fashion so you with us to find out if space debris is weather outlook. and we talked to one of the support. troy davis said death row inmate executed overnight in the u.s. despite flimsy evidence and massive public protests who says the capital punishment system is just not balanced. a powerful double blast has hit the capital of the russian republic of dagestan injuring at least sixty people many of whom were passers by those bombs are believed to have been planted underneath parked cars near a regional police headquarters our correspondent sara for us has more. the safe zero one police officer confirmed that at least sixty people injured in the twin car bombs that happened in dagestan last night now the first explosion happening at
3:14 am
about half past midnight musky time when the second blast just minutes later. told the possibly first bus could be a truck to the truck to some of the police but that's the area the second most powerful bus that injuring even pulled out the majority of those aged forty full well then this is the police bust up with some civilians to run a second separate incident last night the head of the reason who police was traveling at is when they came under fire and that she was all students at the two of his security offices but it's not as yet they know whether those two instances of that this is the third he's really been struggling to bring stability to that region has been beset by violence many many links to islamic insurgent movement now although you may just fighting in that region has to some extent being controlled as he said they felt towards the cyberstalking to bring stability to that region and attack so please i'm the government and i continue throughout that region
3:15 am
that's the especially if it's that we see a number of these instances happening if you see that again last night. turf earth reporting there well you know always visit our web site r.t. dot com for more on any of the stories that we covered for you here but here's some of what's online today the amazing houdini cat a beloved pet that was both caged and stated banishes in mid-flight and now distraught owners threatening to sue the airline. under the iron bridge see the pictures as r.t. and her as the afghan drug addicts dan the country's now suffering greatly from its home grown product that already kills dozens of thousands of users worldwide every year. and decommissioned nasa satellite is on its way back to earth after decades of service but scientists will only have an idea of its potential drop zone just a couple of hours before impact here oliver ponders as to whether we should be
3:16 am
watching our heads. it weighs almost six thousand kilograms has been monitoring the make up of our atmosphere for nearly two decades and the best estimate suggests that on friday it said to return home with a bump nothing is upper atmosphere research satellite or you a.r.s. was decommissioned in two thousand and five and is now headed for reentry most of the satellite which is the site of a bus will burn up in the earth's atmosphere however as many as twenty six chunks of the stricken research vehicle will strike the earth seventy percent of our planet is covered with water so the danger to us is fairly limited nothing will have an ounce of potential strike zone covering most of the globe so where it will come down is really anyone's guess what is known is that it won't fall in one place deborah is expected to be spread over eight hundred kilometers what fairly worrying stuff but how much of this space junk is there up there ready to come back down
3:17 am
there are now over twenty thousand sizeable objects being tracked in its orbit the problem is the due to a process called the kessler effect that number is growing exponentially with us each collision shatters an object into smaller pieces and those pieces hit other objects if it keeps continuing at the same rate two hundred years from now we won't be able to get anything into an earth orbit as they just won't be any room just looking up at the sky from earth it could be hard to imagine the problems posed by space debris but when we look through powerful telescopes like this one the true situation comes into focus the job of monitoring all of the debris in space is an important one not just for the future but for those currently in space on all the international space station over six hundred times a year the idea since has to take a vase of action to get out of the way of carry but if that isn't possible there's
3:18 am
only one course of action left. the crew take shelter. in the most protected area of the ship the safest place is the capsule in the so use more jewel so that's where the entire crew hides when the station is considered to be in danger. with no viable way of giving space a spring clean we have to rely on the atmosphere to burn up most falling debris however in large cases like that of the u. s. the experts get a little concerned and. will use rocket enters the atmosphere people can calculate when and where it's going to fall but it's impossible to predict where the pieces of a satellite that has broken apart are going to end up it shouldn't be too worried about a chunk of satellite landing in your backyard however should that happen not so our warning against taking pieces as a souvenir not because it's toxic it's u.s. government property and want it back you a.r.s cost seven hundred fourteen million

dollars and if you fancy making some of that cash for yourself on my bookies have been taking bets on whether it'll hit the pacific or the atlantic oceans peter oliver r.t. . i was tickled at some other stories from around the world security forces have fired mortars and government protesters in the yemeni capital sanaa killing at least three people and wounding sixteen the fighting broke a cease fire on tuesday following three days of bloodshed more than eighty people have been killed since sunday want to crack down on and the regime protest was renewed all of this despite reports the vice president is considering a transfer of power something that's been a key demand from demonstrators. a strike by union workers has forced a petroleum company to halt production in colombia protesters have been starting fires in the streets and hurling stones demanding increased pay and better health care riot police were sands to deal with the demonstrators while the colombian vice

3:22 am
point for al-jazeera wants to look like anti-american channel labeled extremists it's now called real media by the state department their coverage is just in line with u.s. support of the series of regime changes in north and the middle east. from the beginning. into an international. network and that they did but the channel used to send messages from osama to obama and were called out kind of t.v. l.g. . is truly is vicious inaccurate and in excuse now al jazeera is getting wife sound out some local u.s. networks but soon might be coming to your cable box right here in our area this is a situation where the media has become of us the combat zone itself and who controls the media we see it with fox news we see it with other channels around the

world now we're seeing it without zero i think the u.s. will try to influence even more and perhaps praise more al-jazeera has been a leader in that are literally changing people's minds an attitude all dizzy and it's setting the news agenda or is it and he says no way r t cairo. a u.s. death row inmate has been executed by lethal injection in the state of georgia for the one nine hundred eighty nine shooting of an off duty police man prosecutors maintained they were sure if he was guilty however the weapon was never discovered and the d.n.a. tests failed to link him to the killing davis the supporters say capital punishment just isn't dealt there only and the u.s. . obviously the supreme court realizes that the world is watching and the world is very upset in judging america on the hypocrisy that it shows in the application of the death penalty and all of the statistics indicate that it is applied in
3:24 am
a discriminatory manner and that persons that are black or of color are almost more likely to receive the death penalty and that sentence then those are not black or that those that are right so there's the is a great disparity in the application of the death penalty it's an inherent problem it's in this much of an inherent problem as racism still is in american society so much subjectivity involved in whether the case could turn one way or another depending on who is on the bench or who is deciding the case is so much of a human factor the universal support that choice be able to say as we see from our court is from all races from what the pope jimmy carter to me that i better not be unspoken about talking about grassroots activists that have been pressing his case and fighting his case for years now. i'll bring this up today here on r t let's see
