attitude towards the qatar based news network. coming to live from moscow a marina joshie president barack obama has personally sworn to veto any resolution recognizing a free and independent palestinian state his comments came during a face to face meeting with the leader of the palestinian autonomy who nevertheless vowed to press ahead with his country's bid tomorrow. it's going off has the latest the sixty six the general assembly of the united nations reasons full swing of course the palestinian issue. with playing to raise the question of becoming an independent state being recognized by the united nations on the floor and there is definitely a lot of uncertainty one comes to this issue since all know when is the u.s.
4:02 am
president barack obama said that he was to see an independent palestine and so there is really authorities actually met with walt. 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 what they see that this can only be done through dialogue through negotiations specifically between him 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. has been threatening that he would veto such a resolution of recognizing that as an independent country meanwhile russia has been persuading washington not to veto these talks but when it comes to obama he's
4:03 am
really in a difficult position on this issue since it was a year ago that. the establishment of an independent palestinian state should happen in two thousand and eleven and at the same time. has been supporting the arab spring with those wanting change and improvement in their lives egypt libya and so on so he can really back off. 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 he allies 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
4:04 am
a decade and they still haven't really led to anything so palestinian authorities have been saying that they can't back down. now as well because that is the 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 this issue will be raised at the united nations here in new york. and the u.s. as like it's more than a single body of the united nations violating the pluralism of the world group and that's the view of the iranian president mahmoud ahmadinejad who spoke to r.t.r. the situation in palestine. this is the continuation of suppressing the rights of the palestinian people and the palestinian nation they are people like 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
4:05 am
truly pluralistic in its makeup then why would they allow our country to see itself and speak of itself as the chief of the united nations a clear realistic representative body and also why can they dictate if the united states is a truly single member of a much larger body than it should have a single vote then why does that vote or that pressure carry so much more weight. and you watch that interview for about twenty minutes from now while a report on why the u.s. is so much against the regime policies are becoming are we sure right before the bell 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 that israeli government recognize palestine as an independent state meanwhile in the west bank reports a bound of deliberate provocation against palestinian going to strangers by israeli settlers to prompt military to intervene and crackdown on the rallies and across europe which has tried to remain neutral activists to chant slogans sway barras for

the palestinian cause parties more amman brings us more from london. is it takes between the israelis and the palestinians has come here to downing street the group has handed it to sit prime minister david cameron saying that he should support the palestinian authority's bid for recognition by the united nations david cameron of course will go that it's words the end of this week to talk about the situation in the middle east the group behind me say that u.n. recognition of the palestinian authority is the only way to then ensure the negotiations then a two state solution and peace in the region i speak to some of the trees to sit down and here's what they. represent the views of the country who overwhelmingly is of the you've got survey citizens of the u.k. supporting palestine's right to existence is self-determination by mrs should it come out on the british government owes it to defy the stimulants that is immoral
4:07 am
and this sort of responsibility for the british government because you were meant to think us full in the in the fourth is you have created this it office said it is about time that you are not to sit up and stand here in this country say that sixty percent around about a few cases believe that. palestine's said he recognizes the stakes in its own right and that they get increases in france and in germany but despite that none of these governments have yet to come out in support of recognizing that this did i think it's their manes to be saying it will happen that you would get that this week i think even where david cameron will take this position to taste and recognize this and put it into full. all ramage reporting there now the u.s. president justifies reader all to mean by saying that while palestinians do deserve a state it can only count through direct talks with israel which have gone on for decades however palestinian journalist tell us on air he says george statins line
4:08 am
stretches far into capitol hill the real problem of the person seen as a be facing with israeli prime minister and you know is dates back to the day when he appeared in the congress and then he delivered his historical speech and the nearly 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. he sure showing him that who is really the boss in washington and it seems that since then has been intoxicated with this kind of victory achieved in the congress and has been beat and has been behaving in a very intense didn't we not listening to the palestinians and not listening to the americans in voice. who have come to the region for so many times of dozens of hours this is one of the reasons why i personally was going to the united nations has been looking for is there in his red book believed to be the noble partner of this moment the problem is the left of corporation of this reason i went on with
4:09 am
the settlement activities not only in the west bank but also in east jerusalem blowing up every chance of reaching an agreement with the palestinians and this is they would put. and iranian president is to address the un general assembly however manning american politicians and some protestors outside the united nations are opposed to mahmoud ahmadinejad even being there are these christine explores why iran is considered public enemy number one they so matter. just about everywhere you look at iran continues to develop nuclear weapons someone whether politician or pundit or controlled by the 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 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
4:10 am
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 a country we support a sanctions program but it's designed to stop the punishment is. aimed at stopping the iranians from doing something you know we know they're not doing think sions 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 around neighbors and o.l.s. curse compares president obama's added two toward iran to bush and cheney's policy toward iraq they want to punish they want to make a case against iraq for politics. so we made a case about nuclear weapons we were talking about mushroom clouds make a case to go to war. and to war america went. many worry it could happen as
4:11 am
well in iran if rhetoric becomes reality iran is that a very perilous position and it's obvious that the crosshairs are on them squarely . if anyone 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. 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's have this is last month g.o.p. presidential debate in iowa only one candidate strayed from the script just think of how many nuclear weapons surrounding iraq did chinese are there the indians or the pakistan is there why wouldn't it be natural that they might want to weapons there'd be internationally that they get more respect but one man given very little respect on u.s.
4:12 am
soil iranian president mahmoud ahmadinejad number one villain for so many this. last year the group united against nuclear iran put 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 thought it may also be good business to temper 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 a matter of preparedness and perkasa or if it is simply propaganda. in washington christine for our team. still to come in the program why would they do well to watch the sky in the coming few days old nasa satellite is on its way back to earth but it's not expected to land in an orderly fashion so stay with us to find out if

the reign of space debris is in the weather outlook. and we talked to one of the. supporters of troy davis death row inmate executed overnight of us despite flimsy evidence and massive public protests which 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 both bombs are believed to have been planted underneath parked cars near regional police have quarters our correspondent sara for of has more. the safe old one please help the sick of that at least sixty people injured in the twin car bombs that happened last night now the first explosion happening at about half past midnight most a time when the second blast following just minutes late that is the possibly a first cause could be
4:14 am
a truck to check the some of the police but that's the area of the second most powerful blast that injuring even pulled out of a church here they said you will see full well that is that the police bust up at some civilians to run a second separate incident last night the head of the reasonable police was traveling it is when they came under fire and that she was all students at the two of his security offices but it still is yet whether these two instances of that thirst is really struggling to bring stability to that region which is the set by violence many many is linked 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 his rivals talking to bring stability to that region attacks on police on the government continue throughout that region that says the especially in that we see a number of these incidents that happened. you see that again last night and you can always visit our website arky dot com for more stories but here's some of

what's online right now. the amazing dini cats beloved pad that was both caged and vanishes in mid-flight and now the distraught owners threatening to sue the airline. and under the iron bridge see the pictures as r.t.l. as an al gang drug addict stan the country is now suffering greatly from its home grown product that already kills dozens of thousands of users worldwide every year . and all of nasa satellite is out of control and plunging back towards earth but u.s. scientists are only left guessing where it all land with an almighty bomb which could be anywhere on the planet are these people all over turned to the advice of russian cosmonauts to ponder whether we should be watching our hats. it weighs almost six thousand kilograms has been monitoring the make up of our atmosphere for nearly two decades and the best estimates suggest that on friday it's set to return home with

a pump nothing is upper atmosphere research satellite or you a.r.s. was decommissioned in two thousand and five and is now headed for reentry and most of the satellite which is the site of a bus will burn up in the darkness appear 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 nasa will have announced a potential strike zone covering most of the globe so where it will come down it's really anyone's guess what is known as that it won't fall in one place there bri is expected to be spread over eight hundred kilometers of fairly worrying stuff but how much of the space junk is there up there ready to come back down there are now over twenty thousand sizeable objects being tracked in its orbit a problem is the judicial process called the kessler effect that number is growing exponentially with each collision shatters an object into smaller pieces and those
4:17 am
pieces hit other objects it keeps hitting us at the same rate two hundred years from now we won't be able to get anything into an earth orbit as there just won't be any room. for looking up at the sky from earth it can 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 green space is an important one not just for the future but for those currently in space on the international space station over six hundred times a year the i.a.s. this has to take a vsam action to get out of the debris but if that isn't possible there's only one course of action left if you're close the crew take shelter. in the most conservative area of the ship the safest place is the capsule in the so use module so that's where the entire crew hides when the station is considered to be in
4:18 am
danger. with no viable way of giving space a spring clean we have to rely on the atmosphere it's the most falling debris however in large cases like that some of the. experts get a little concerned and we're going to 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 stuff in your backyard however should happen not so all warning against taking pieces as a souvenir not because it's toxic it's u.s. government property and they want it back you a.r.s cost seven hundred fourteen million dollars and if you fancy making some of for yourself on my bookies have been taking bets on whether it'll hit the pacific or the atlantic oceans peter oliver r.t. . now take a look at some other stories from around the world u.s.g.s.

union workers has forced a petroleum company to hold production in colombia protesters have been starting fires in the streets and hurling stones demanding increased pay better health care riot police were sent to deal with demonstrators while the colombian vice president urged workers to avoid violence the country's oil industry is staffed by around twelve thousand people. but i wasn't all that long ago the al jazeera news network was considered by washington as quote evil but the white house has certainly changed its tune recently praising its groundbreaking coverage that's a little surprise say critics after we could weeks revelations expose the director general of the qatar based network of having links to the cia and promoting him to hurriedly quit and he's now takes up the story. right now al jazeera english is seen through million american households al-jazeera or the island is not in
4:21 am
isolation anymore the channels in your face coverage of the violent turmoil of the middle east and libya's emerging civil war has grounded cousy prime time slot with the u.s. and recent week you leaks claim al-jazeera has now resigned director general had ties to the cia when they detail is if the u.s. government and monitoring. well they want. and they can tell will. be. inappropriate. or they didn't like and then they were. stepping into the open seat a member of the royal family fueling fears joe months voice will get him out or the arabic service was really criticized for being part and seeming to reflect the

qatari policy. of new angles came much earlier this year when arab regimes started to crumble that first square has become a pivotal landmark in the arab world a symbol of the spring uprising but the events here in top gear also signaled the turning point for al-jazeera wants to look anti-american channel labeled extremist it's now called real media by the state department their coverage is just in line with u.s. support of a series of regime changes in. the middle east. from the beginning. into an international. network and that they did the channel used to send messages from osama to obama and recalled al qaeda t.v. belgian. is truly is vicious inaccurate in excuse now al-jazeera
4:23 am
is getting wife shout out from local us not works it soon might be coming to your cable box right here in our area this is a situation where the media has become a mystery combat zone in themselves 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 with i'll just share i think the us will try to influence even more and perhaps praise more al-jazeera has been the leader and there are literally changing people's minds an attitude of dizzying essentially the news agenda or is it and use in our way our t.v. kyra. well it brings us up to date here on r.t. and business news is next with marina. hello and welcome to businesses here on art see the federal reserve is taken and another saw its active aravind the u.s. economy the central bank admits significant downside risk remains and you know
4:24 am
that's a further suppressed long term interest rates it plans to switch four hundred billion dollars of sorts of bonds and some longer maturities so what will work well let's find out will be talking see violence or cut off from renaissance capital it's always us now thank you very much for joining us now to discuss all this new move by the fred accomplish anything especially since interest rates are already was. i think to certain extent yes because the key idea that the federal reserve is having at the moment is to increase the maturity structure of its portfolio so basically what the federal reserve is trying to achieve is to decrease long term rates at the expense of short term rates i think what the federal reserve is trying to accomplish with that is to make it more attractive for businesses to invest number one and also for for consumers to invest in mortgages so to some extent we do expect some positive results from this move but we have already stimulus packages and low ensign straits and of course
4:25 am
a lot of other measures in monetary terms is there anything last night in two thousand. of course of course i think that the federal reserve still has some firepower left i think what the federal reserve's can really do is a real q three because you should remember what the federal reserve is did yesterday is it actually did not. give it did not do a q e three it did not increase the size of its balance sheet but that shifted some of its investment from short term to long term assets which means that again the overall balance sheet was not changed which means that if the situation were to deteriorate further globally i think we could still expect from the federal reserve to actually start buying even more securities which in that sense do qualify as a community so the answer to your question is yes they still have some firepower and i think that given where the global economy is going it should not be surprising if the federal reserve some later. a little bit later in the game actually goes to that last thing that they can do. not so mistake me there but that
4:26 am
sense in europe how likely is about greece who are to stall that. well certainly i'll be much more much less optimistic here i think it's quite clear to everybody and certainly this is priced into the financial markets the greek greece will default i think it's again i think it's a done deal i think the more important question here is whether these default the police will actually be matched with greece going out of the eurozone or not and my personal view is that yes we'll have a default but police use to be to be read in the euro zone and they will not leave the euro area so will the small the end of the euro. law i don't think so the only once again to the extent of course disappoints ability but i think this could transpire only if greece were to leave the european union but again my view is that default will transpire because of the very high indebtedness of the greek economy
4:27 am
and because of the very difficult or so. austerity measures that the government is pushing which obviously are very unpopular from a political perspective but i think that greece will remain in the euro area and i think that euro will continue to be the currency the greece. using but again you still have very negative implications for growth. through its play devil's advocate here and say you're a will start to unravel what sort of a facts could we expect in the last. well actually i don't think that russia will be impacted that much i think there are a number of important that relate the russian economy to the european economy number one these are trade links and i think that the relationship between russia and greece in terms of trade linkages is quite minimal the second relationship is the banking sector how much greek assets. the banks in russia the banking sector is a whole in russia's holding these are also very minimal so from that perspective
4:28 am
i'm a little bit more optimistic rare you eventually might see a bigger danger for russia is the ability of the russian corporates and banks to go off of the european union in the future so you could expand look you have agrees default i think we'll be a very stressful scenario in the banking sector driving the the european banks will be much more choosy in terms of giving giving loans to the world and i think to the extent that russia is still a high better country i just might jeopardize the future availability of finances to the russian federation. but eventually kind of from renaissance capital thank you so much for your view and lots of optimism there in trying to very much. oh and that's all we have time for and this is the business the headlines are next.
