fingers crossed and grave held as part of the new way for this historic bid for statehood to be handed in to the united nations. the u.n. meeting has also witnessed a dramatic walkout after a new president mahmoud ahmadinejad launched a scathing it's half against western nations with remarks on holocaust nine eleven and nato. bulgaria and romania are denied european visa free travel describing these promises as some member states say the two countries need to sort out corruption and crime issues. and as america puts more of its deadly drones in the skies over africa critics say its attempt to make the world safer is only driving more people towards terror.

fortunately coming to a line from moscow i'm marina joshie now history is being made today in new york as palestine prepares to hand in its formal request for u.n. recognition in just a few hours and it's left the world divided with many throwing their support behind palestine while an isolated u.s. threatens to veto the bit on the grounds that israel hasn't approved the move us now cross-like to a corresponding policy here in the west bank as motions they are built to peak possible what's the mood over there are now that we are so close to the statehood submission. well it's still early here in palestine but this simply is a need of excitement anticipation and jubilance ahead of today's historic palestinian application for statehood at the united nations there are here in
1:02 am
ramallah thousands of people who are expected to take to the streets throughout the course of the day we're expecting celebrations carnivals and demonstrations throughout palestine but the focal point between the sea evening when the palestinian president mahmoud abbas gives his historic address to the united nations you really get a sense when you hear on the ground of history in the making it's hard not to get caught up in the importance of this moment now i'm standing here at the kalandia checkpoint the famous checkpoint between jerusalem and ramallah and for years this has been the focus point of demonstrations between palestinians and israeli army soldiers we are keeping an eye on events here because earlier this week there were clashes here but the palestinians have committed themselves to peaceful demonstrations where the focus is not so much on the palestinian side but on the extremists ypres who have written that they will be holding rallies throughout the course of today they say that they are disputing this united nations good as been much of the week actually talking to centers and to palestinians and trying to get
1:03 am
to the heart of what really is a conflict over land i want to explore the israeli government's policies of trying to put as many people as possible in these contested settlements let's have a look. taylor has been farming land deep in the hebron hills for more than twenty years he says this land is his and he has the papers to prove it we are the only people in the world that they're good approved document a document that is in there. in the measure no it peace effort does. it not so russia makes the same claim he insists the land has been in his family for some eight hundred years but now this is the closest he can get to it and it's eating him up watching jay. farmers. it's a very hard feeling but what can i do nothing in the resistance forces or not but the surplus is missing something the army will come immediately and arrest us. the
1:04 am
west bank is full of people like jacob and nasser israelis and palestinians both playing claim to the same piece of land. almost weekly angry scenes like this dominate the landscape and especially now as palestinians head off to the united nations the clashes are becoming more violent it's one thing to declare a state and another to determine where its borders will be this fence cuts through your calls farm meaning that right now i am standing inside palestine and as i walk through here. i'm now in israel and for as long as the borders remain disputed israel's taking advantage and sending its citizens to settle the west bank so it has a stronger argument not to give it up but it's storing up problems like your one and his wife e.-l. who are now at the center of a major court battle it's not between israelis and palestinians it's a battle between israelis and israelis never was. all over the people of
1:05 am
both of. both unions. or both. cried. the settlers who. eleven years ago the israeli government not only gave you an undersea land to farm that helped him as much as it could he was the only israeli in the area at the time but now the same government that wanted him here has given half his farm to a new state as it's sending his way and believes his wife ideology is only part of the story i believe is a management problem worse than a little more fear you can almost say that for them it's about money and making money and greed in real estate development etc whatever the reasons israel says it won't recognize a palestinian state declared at the united nations which means even if the u.n. rules that these rocky hills are part of palestine these clashes will in hindsight
1:06 am
be a warning of what was to follow policy r.t. in the hebron hills. and across the world in new york atlanta may be less obvious but its last powerful right is more important as more and what's expected today. well the back door diplomatic talks that have taken place all week come center stage today front and center as the president of palestine in the prime minister of israel both will address the international body palestinian president mahmoud abbas will ask the international community to examine how the sign as a member of the united nations and to legitimacy legitimize its statehood abbas is expected to present and fresh an official letter of request which would go to the security council now the u.s. has said repeatedly that it would veto palestinian membership to the united nations
1:07 am
because u.s. president barack obama believes that any kind of membership. or seat of power should be done only hours after israel and palestine get back at some of the negotiation table israel of course is also not in support of this move and we will expect to hear of enjoyment as in yahoo address this issue when he speaks to the general assembly as a matter of fact the majority of u.n. member u.n. members support palestinian membership to the u.n. and support palestinian statehood and one of the many countries to support palestine's ambition is iran and the iranian leader must move on minister did address the general assembly causing some thirty countries to get out and the walk out in the middle of his speech the first delegation was that of the united states which got up and walked out after president ahmadinejad said that the mysterious of

temper eleventh attacks he was referring to nine eleven and then mass exodus came all the members of the european union the delegations four of them got up and walked out i'm going to john and also. accuse western powers of imposing and supporting totalitarian regimes in asia in africa and latin american nations he threw some criticism against nato now minutes after the iranian leader left the general assembly hall british prime minister david david cameron came to the podium and addressed the international body launching somewhat of an attack about his ng the iranian government of violently preventing demonstrators and detaining and torturing those who argue for a better future mr cameron urged the un to be more prepared to take action i guess oppressive regimes and he made his claim for our strong inter vention is

1:10 am
second zone is a european dream come true a continent without borders freedom to travel live and work across twenty five countries but attempts by bold garia and rumania to join have been a wake up call some now convinced it's time to shut up shop organized crime will also enter through to the gates offer them to me here in bulgaria also illegal immigrants to turkey will come to bulgaria and romania and then have free access to the showing in countries which is of course organization in europe has to protect itself and to cease more important than people from all mean you're travelling with a visa and having border control it's a question that's more relevant now than ever france and italy fell out earlier this year when hard pressed italy issued more than twenty thousand refugees from the arab spring with six month residency permits giving them permission to travel

anywhere in the e.u. both countries now want internal border controls strengthened and those are just the legal migrants but there's also the question of illegal immigration bulk areas access to shannon was delayed when its border with turkey was found to be full of holes if you have countries. who are not doing a lot. of clear their borders against the influx from from illegal immigrants think of forming a bulgarian maybe even greece and it's not unreasonable to put horror barriers to these contrition if you want them to give. freedom of danish enemy peace for all parties had previously voiced concerns about bulk area andrew manias entry into shine and they cite corruption and crime as the main reasons and agree with france and italy that the scheme should be reforms denmark has already

introduced border controls i think we just need to be fragged and realize that. it has. rays of. french nationality and knowing that of element in romania and bulgaria you have to be very naive not to see that this race will be even higher if the if the border control was abolished true these countries as well paul garia andrew mainly are recognized to have improved border controls showing and members also want them to work on crime prevention inside their own borders before opening the mark and not quite apart from the destabilizing effect of yet more mass migration in an unsteady europe maybe in the e.u. one specifically worried about remaining and bulk area trying to join the european passport free zone but if the widening of the agreement as a whole in essence it means trusting the israelis. to make their borders your

here in moscow absolutely it really seems that time doesn't that there is going to be no limit to the reach of this usa debt crisis if the three years since we saw the collapse of the wall street journal and the western banking crisis mean that emerging economies were really hit very hard those reliant on foreign funds i really felt the pinch that is once again emerging that we don't see the western downturn having is good to know what we've seen is that the russian legals pulling against the euro and the dollar since all this hit its lowest levels against the dollar this week and analysts to say that this is really being driven by that global uncertainty what we're seeing is that rating being downgraded recently a greece a country on the brink of all of this having an impact on emerging economies such as russia as we said the leaders struggle really to get a grip on this year as a debt crisis if it's about spreading and emerging economies thirdly now also
1:15 am
feeling the pressure. all right erin thanks very much indeed for this of a tariff earth there. on a new wave of global recession is an average of all says patrick young who is the exact of director of the investment advisory firm dva advisors. but let's look at it in the united states of america growth is basically any match in europe grooved is very low or it's going backwards and all of them are economies and also we've got this terrible terrible northside slippage issue with the lights increase and if we look at somewhere like china which has been a huge engine of the global economy well they've had some pretty bad. numbers come out this morning and that too is leading to a big fear that maybe china is finally heading the buffers at least for the time being it's had a huge credit expansion in the last two years that looks really rather like europe
1:16 am
and the us looked in sort of two thousand and five two thousand and six two thousand and seven and i really fear that i mean if we see that happening in china then ultimately all the for all the world economy is in for a very very difficult year in two thousand and twelve. well for analysis of the global economic outlook our business bulletin will be here with the latest in just a few minutes and time are you know all markets of course knows star of the half of the u.s. federal reserve paints a grim picture all of the economy both the arts yes and the my six fell about about eight percent yesterday blogs the markets have an open today that will do so in about an hour and we'll bring you up to that and all the latest on that but even though investors are panicking experts say that russia is in a much better position to handle and not a financial crisis and we'll tell you why later in our business program we are looking forward to that maria thanks very much indeed for this more in the business both and later. and here in our city we've got more stories for you on our web site

which is r t v dot com right now available for you online internet sensation dancing mad a you tube star famous for making these moves all around the world waltzes into russia that is for a new office so he's travel series. and the world's watching worry sixty on nasa satellite is going to come crashing down as the latest predictions suggest it's italian soil that's likely to suffer the impact. relations between the u.s. and pakistan to fit a new law after a top american military chief accused pakistan's intelligence service of supporting a group behind last week's attack on the american embassy in kabul islamabad strongly denying claims pakistani journalist says the u.s.
1:18 am
wants to be recognized as the world's policeman but turns a blind eye to the violence causes itself. well i mean it's for a long time it's been recognized by sources in government and outside that the pakistani government in this specifically the i.s.i. has some ties to various militant groups in pakistan the problem is that the u.s. has dealt with it for about a decade until now and the reason is that they're getting all riled about it now is because they're losing in afghanistan the u.s. government is being a little too aggressive i mean they're upset with pakistan for what they call a proxy war through the network into afghanistan but the u.s. is running their own brutal war in afghanistan the afghan national police. have been which is the group that is funded in trained by the united states government they have been terrorizing the local communities and villages throughout
1:19 am
afghanistan for years human rights watch just came out with a report condemning them for killings detentions of rape murder abductions so on and so forth and so that's a proxy war what's strange is that when the pakistanis do it it's the u.s. calls it terrorism and when the u.s. does it it's called counterterrorism so the relationship is inherently contradictory and they're both playing the same sort of bad game. the only question is how many more civilians have to die for these two to sort of level their power play. now one of the stumbling blocks in u.s. pakistan relations is that american drone attacks on al qaeda operatives on pakistani territory continually resulted in civilian deaths however the u.s. military considers them so effective that it is building a number of new drone bases in the horn of africa and the arabian peninsula but as our count reports this policy has caught america
1:20 am
a vicious circle. the u.s. is aggressively expanding its drone war by setting up more and more bases for those unmanned aerial vehicles or the u.a.e. they're armed with laser guided bombs and air to ground missiles and network of those drone bases is unfolding in east africa ethiopia is hosting the fleet of hunter killers as they call them in the military a similar installation has opened in the seychelles a new base is under construction somewhere in the arabian peninsula to enable more flights over yemen and all this as u.s. officials say is being done to target it. in the region drones have become the main weapon of america's undeclared war so it's a new kind of warfare one that the u.s. is waging without sacrificing the lives of their soldiers in a number of countries like pakistan yemen and libya for that matter in pakistan for example u.s. drone strikes have killed thousands of civilians and have netted only
1:21 am
a handful of actual terrorists many of the victims' loved ones seek revenge often by joining radical groups so it's like a vicious circle when the u.s. seems to be fighting terror and provoking care at the same time and the question whether or not but policies make america safer is very arguable but on top of the human cost and the boomerang effect of those often indiscriminate strikes there's also the price tag of such rapid drone expansion we're talking about billions of dollars of u.s. taxpayers money at a time when the country's on the verge of another recession when fourteen million people are jobless and one in six americans lives on food stamps and many here do find it outrages that with a gigantic get problems sluggish economy and with three wars at hand american officials still lavish money on military projects which some experts say may well backfire at their own security. and their yemeni president ali abdullah saleh has
