anticipation turns to anger the mood in the west bank as the palestinian bid for statehood at the u.n. looks like falling short speculation of deals already being struck between the palestinian and u.s. leaders. also we talk exclusively to mark would ask about what's preventing palestinians from being recognized as an independent state and other global issues that's all ahead of the iranian leader's address to the u.n. . and an old nasa satellite is plunging towards earth with a number of fragments expected to come crashing down but still u.s. artists have no idea where the dead.
11:01 am
and global stocks have plummeted after the u.s. federal reserve indicated that the u.s. economic slump could last for years or in business in twenty minutes. it is i just after seven pm here in moscow this is our team with. president barack obama has that personally sworn to veto any u.n. resolution recognizing a free and independent palestinian state his comments came in during a face to face meeting with the leader of the palestinian autonomy who nevertheless about to press ahead with this country is built on friday and while official israel's me officials of israel say that it's concerned about possible violence on the borders. attended a rally in tel aviv where israelis are backing palestinian statehood gathered
11:02 am
together. it's raining. prices and several members of parliament are gathering here in one street in tel aviv now it's got some chronic way the government is taking place in front of the museum of independence we. israel declared its independence back in one nine hundred forty eight and what people here are saying is that it is time that israelis recognize palestinian independence may put together a manifesto with some eighty five high profile israelis signing so again we're seeing a surge of support here in israel for the recognition of palestine they say that these two states should co-exist alongside each other that the palestinian state should be within sixty seven borders and they calling on all israelis to support this move now the latest news we have coming out of new york is that the palestinian president mahmoud abbas tomorrow friday will make his application for statehood but that the vote will be delayed and we've been told that this could be delayed for several months possibly until next june before it could be any kind of
11:03 am
movement on the vote issue but other than that here down in watch child street where for several months earlier this year protesters gathered to lobby against an attorney who government the vibe here is very much in support of a palestinian state as it is indeed across the west bank and the whole of palestine what we now have the director of the one voice movement in israel tell harris who organized this why do you think it's important for this way to succumb to the street and show the support for the establishment of palestine i think that we have been failing at creativity all of the all of all of the parties to the conflict and we have come to this point when the conflict is being internationalized when the conflict is being put on the un not with a smile on our face we all would have proof including of. all the parties to the conflict would have appreciated and it goes a good solution but at this juncture we believe that if israel takes the active part and initiates and thinks outside of the box
11:04 am
a bit and recognizes palestine the first country to recognize palestine could be israel and what a change that would be but still this is a minority here in israel and the israeli army the israeli police and the is the israeli security operators remain on high alert. out of concern that as tomorrow friday found their way and the united nations discusses that bed it could be violence here that is part of the reporting right now to discuss this further with dr live from london by the opposite of the labor m.p. jim fitzpatrick good to see you sir so barack obama is pledging to veto any palestinian bid but how do you think that corresponds with his attempts to forge a reputation as a president who is sympathetic to the arab world take for example the past several months of u.s. support of the arab spring. i think it goes highlights something of a contradiction in president obama's line on the middle east and north africa i think is to support in saying that he's folks at nursery say that he reduces the
11:05 am
saw i think the reaction of the palestinian delegation that they will still lodge there are but the they will be prepared to delay pressing a vote for some time is one of great statesmanship and maturity and i would hope that the americans could persuade israel to make sure that we can recognize palestine in line with previous un resolutions as you were saying a moment ago the issue of postponing the vote here we now hear from the palestinian leader mahmoud abbas not going to push for the instant vote which could mean it could be delayed for months how do you read that is that a case of downplaying the issue or is it just the way of actually stopping washington from vetoing a vote which hasn't voted on. i think it would be a step backwards where the application to be registered and then not approved i think the palestinian delegation have clearly we adopt the best way forward for themselves and for the people they want world approval they have majority support
11:06 am
i'm sure from countries around the world but of course israel and the usa don't sign up to the deal then it really could end up not just being meaningless it could provoke a violent reaction which would not suit anybody's purposes because the whole peace process is to try and avoid for the violence i hope that the palestinians being able to demonstrate how much and so on are still support they have will bring pressure to bear on president obama and he will return to his commitment to the allegations of the world and press israel to accept the two state solution by to recognize palestine even before the conclusion of all the peace negotiations as you are saying that there is massive global support for the palestinian bid for statehood at the u.n. but at the end of the day if that's what a fall through if israel in washington managed to veto and managed to block this bit you mention there might be a violent reaction purp up along the west bank area if indeed there was
11:07 am
a violent reaction with actions just justify israel stance israeli official saying well there you have it you see we can't co-exist peacefully. no i don't think it justifies israel's stance or told or think anything can justify israel's stance the united nations has consistently supported a two state solution the british government and the present british government under previous labor and ministration of which i was a member support to stage two state solution this seems to be a logical step along the road to that it's what nobody wants to see is any for the violence but if i was in the palestinian territories and i saw that there was a possibility of progress and then that was frustrated that would cause be great despair not could understand why that frustration could lead to temples being lost and the temperature being raised so normally once for the violence i don't think israel's position is justified because they're saying it might provoke for the
11:08 am
violence we've got violence in the middle east that palestinians have been suffering violence for far far too long we want to see progress being made in the peace accords we want to see israel making concessions we want to see both sides saying no to violence or want to see president obama pushing this along the world agenda at the united nations out the earliest possible opportunity where as you say you want to see some progression in him both sides between the palestinians and the israelis are but you know over the past twenty four hours we've seen a sense of jubilation in the west bank a sense then is this threaded through a sense of disappointment as president barack obama has said that he will veto any palestinian bid for statehood but as we've been seeing and as you were mentioning the end game here i mean how do you see negotiations between israelis and palestinians developing once the un session has ended as you mentioned moments ago it's history it's a decade old history of violence between both sides. cade's in the.
11:09 am
hall and woods hole but the demonstration of international supports for the palestinian request for recognition at the united nations would demonstrate to as real the level of support across the world that the palestinians have i hope it would bring pressure to bear on washington i hope it would concentrate minds and that that momentum which has been gained would bring people back through proper r. and serious negotiations and a load progress to be made well clearly there hasn't been as much as all of us would like to say let's cover another issue now that i've been covered at the u.n. our british prime minister david cameron due to address the un within hours it's thought that among other things that he's going to give our military action and sanctions against syria how do you think that will be received you thought was actually talking to a nato countries audience if this is the united nations. but i think the united nations is the world government body which is in its will to express
11:10 am
opinion on abuses of human rights and violence against citizens because prime minister cameron clearly feels it's appropriate for him to be expressing the views of the british government. where would be more appropriate to express views put up by the united nations the united nations is going to grow in its authority to be more than just a talking shop it has to be a place for serious discussions take place and it has to be where our negotiations and decisions are made to make sure that we're people are being brutalized where people are being killed then it is not just where there are resolutions passed it's one of the sons of meat so it's a protect those people right away jim it's not like another many thanks indeed you're welcome. i don't know about psychopathy dot com we are asking you what will happen if the past billion bid for statehood is vetoed by the u.s.
11:11 am
so check out the stats right here on r.t. so far most who have taken part in the poll think the u.n. will lose all credibility if it blocks the move thirty five percent believe the veto might spark of violent uprising in palestinian communities ten percent say it will encourage peace talks to resume and about the same amount of people think the palestinians will be satisfied with an upgraded observer status make sure in the current time being on the r.t. dot com cast your vote. meanwhile the un is gathering and is moving ahead with more developments and looming surrounding the palestinian bid parties we're in a fortnight now has the latest from new york. palestinian bid for u.n. membership and statehood is dominating a lot of the conversation taking place inside and outside the united nations but there are other subjects that interstates are focusing on in particular counter-terrorism there is a meeting that is taking place of the global counterterrorism forum this is
11:12 am
a project that russia and the united states have worked on together to create in addition to that taking place there will also be this speech always controversial speech by iranian president mahmoud ahmadinejad he will be addressing the international body today and as our viewers might know the iranian leader is someone who has been calling for an independence of palestine in the year after year since coming to new york dating back to two thousand and five so maybe he will press on maybe he will say good was right he's been right from the very beginning but he is always someone who doesn't mince his words speaks from the podium usually the u.s. delegation stands up and walks out in the middle of his speech and then of course there will be many other bilateral meetings taking place throughout the day mostly we can imagine that the u.s. will be trying to discuss some kind of backdoor deals to prevent this palestinian
11:13 am
bid for u.n. membership to go through on friday but there will be many developments there the date of course we will work here our viewers. i'm going to put i also spoke to the iranian president mahmoud ahmadinejad just ahead of his speech and you can use the u.s. of abusing the pluralism of united nations. when this is the continuation of suppressing the rights of the palestinian people and the palestinian nation they are people like all the other nations he must have the right to determine their own destiny he must have the right to choose their destiny on the other hand if the united nations is truly pluralistic units make up then why would be allow a country to see itself and speak of itself as the. chief of the united nations a poor realistic representative body and also why can they dictate if the united states a truly single member of a much larger body than it should have a single vote then why does that vote all that pressure carry so much more weight. u.s. session continues in new york stay with us here about the for the latest developments
11:14 am
from the united states and of course incoming reaction from the middle east. the al-jazeera news network has a new boss at the helm following the resignation of his longtime head the change coincided with wiki leaks revelations suggesting that the now former dictator general had links to the cia and the news coverage was influenced by washington well america the channels audience both will be waiting to see what direction moves under new management and he said i doubt takes up the story right now al jazeera english is seen as two million american households al-jazeera or the island is not in isolation anymore which channels in your face coverage of the violent turmoil of the middle east and libya's emerging civil war has cost the prime time slot with the u.s. and recent leaks claim al-jazeera has now resigned director general had ties to the

11:16 am
turning point for alex is zero zero once vilified anti-american channel labeled extremists is 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 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. what is truly is vicious inaccurate and inexcusable now al-jazeera is getting why the shout outs on local us not works that soon might be coming to your cable box right here in our area this is a situation where the media has become a combat zone in 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 with al-jazeera i think

a key demand from the demonstrators. a french quarter to suit the first fines for the wearing of a full face veil in public it's following the introduction of a new law banning it country two women were fined eighty and one hundred twenty euros for wearing the niqab and one of the women said that she will appeal the ruling and is prepared to take the case to the european court of human rights a big mission that nasa satellite is out of control and plunging back towards earth but still you are scientists have been left guessing as to where it will land as it could be anywhere on the planet and what that could mean for us so here's a pretty rough. most satellites that will collide with the earth's atmosphere will burn up there and then cause us no problems due to the size of the usa r.s. this current satellite that we're seeing come about to enter the earth parts of it around twenty six parts it's believed will make it through the earth's atmosphere and collide with the earth now seventy percent of the player is water so it's more
11:22 am
than likely it will hit water and cause no problems whatsoever however some russian experts suggesting that the fuel that was used on board this satellite may be dangerous to humans but holders of experts call this type of satellite an orbital truly bows you need a lot of energy to keep such a satellite operational and americans have used radioactive plutonium for this metal and other parts of the satellite will burn in the atmosphere. won't and it will end up on earth and it's a deadly danger to humans for instance exposure to plutonium leads to cancer. well quite worrying stuff there but it does lead us to another question just how much stuff have we sent up into space they could have ventured comeback down there are now over twenty thousand sizeable objects being tracked in its orbit the problem is the jugement process called the kessler effect that number is growing exponentially
11:23 am
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 we just won't be any room just 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 cons 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 board the international space station over six hundred times. the year the i.a.s. sense has to take evasive action to get out of where you've debris but if that isn't possible there's only one course of action left. for the crew take shelter in the most protected 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
