2:02 am
focal point being receiving when the palestinian president mahmoud abbas gives his historic address to the united nations you really get a sense when you're here 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 are the focus is not so much on the palestinian side but on the extremists it is who have written that they will be holding rallies throughout the course of today they say that they are disputing this united nations but i spent much of the week actually talking to senators and palestinians and trying to get to the heart of what really is a conflict over land and also explore the israeli government's policies of trying to put as many people as possible in these countries to settlements let's have
2:03 am
a look. taylor has been farming land deep in the headline hills for more than twenty years he says this land is his and he has the papers to prove it really are the only people in the world that their good approved document a document that is in. the measure of know every. but 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 jacob farm it. it's a very hard feeling but what can i do nothing or even if we resist with force it's an author of the service or as we said something the army will come immediately and arrest us the west bank is full of people like jacob and nasser israelis and palestinians both laying claim to the same piece of land.
2:04 am
almost weekly angry scenes like this government a calander scape 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 throwing up problems like your one and his wife yell who are now at the center of a major quarter bentyl it's not between israelis and palestinians it's a battle between israelis and israelis. are the people in both the with both unions in. a.
2:05 am
crowd. you know that love food. eleven years ago the israeli government not only gave you an undersea land to farm but 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 new settlers it's sending his way and believes his wife ideology is only part of the story that i believe is a management problem worse in the middle murphy you can almost say that for them it's about money making money and greed and real estate development etc whatever the reasons israel says it won't recognize a palestinian state declared in the united nations which means even if the un rules that these rocky hills are part of palestine these clashes will in hindsight be a warning of what was to follow policy r.t. in the hebron hills. and across the world in a your attention maybe a last r.t.s.
2:06 am
but it's no less strong r.t. is very important i was more on what's expected today. well the back to work diplomatic talks that have taken place all week come center stage today front and center as the president of palestine and the prime minister of israel both will address the international body palestinian president mahmoud abbas will ask the international community to exempt how assigned as a member of the united nations and to legitimacy legitimize its statehood abbas is expected to present and a fresh 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 because u.s. president barack obama believes that any kind of membership. of
2:07 am
palestine should be done only only after israel and palestine get back to some of the negotiation table israel of course is also not in support of this move and we will expect to hear a bunch of it as and yahoo address this issue when he speaks to the general assembly as a matter of fact the majority of the 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 mahmoud ahmadinejad did address the general assembly causing some thirty countries to get out and that was 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 september eleventh attacks he was referring to nine eleven then a mass exodus came all the members of the european union the delegations for them

countries but attempts by bold garia and rumania to join have been a wake up call some are now convinced it's time to shut up shop organized crime will also enter through the gates are for him to me and bulgaria also illegal immigrants to turkey will come to who carry in rumania and then have free access to the showing in countries which is both good organization in europe has to protect itself and could see some more importance than people from all romania 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
2:11 am
the legal migrants but there's also the question of illegal immigration. polk 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. protect their borders against the influx of the from from illegal immigrants think of. maybe even greece and it's not only reasonable to want to put horror. contrition if you want them to give freedom of danish any peace for all parties who previously voiced concerns about bulk area andrew manias entry into shame 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 reintroduced border controls i think we just need to be friends and realize that the agreement has led to
2:12 am
a raise of criminal activity nationally and knowing that of elements in romania and bulgaria you have to be very naive not just see that this raise would be even higher if if the border control was abolished through these countries as well garia andrew mania all recognize to have improved border controls and members also want them to work on crime prevention inside their own borders before opening them up and not quite apart from the destabilizing effects of yet more mass migration in an unsteady europe maybe in the e.u. one specifically worries about remain 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. us to make their borders your borders and many wonder if this is wise especially as a time when on rest in the arab countries means thousands of. middle east. refugees
2:13 am
have already found their way and see. the rabbits brussels. financial leaders of the g. twenty group of major economies issued a statement late on thursday saying they will take strong action to counter the european debt crisis as was the slumping economic growth in the united states it comes as an attempt to calm fears after world financial markets had their biggest drop in a month combined with a series of grave warnings from the us federal reserve and the international monetary fund this sparked concern of a double dip recession being just around the corner and its arrival is inevitable says patrick young who is the executive director of the investment advisory firm d. the advisors let's look at it in the united states of america growth is basically a new match in europe a group of these very low or it's going backwards and all of them are economies and also we've got this terrible terrible north sideslip binge issue with the light.
2:14 am
and if we look at summer like china which has been a huge engine of the global economy well they had some pretty bad manufacturing numbers coming out of the small bank and that too is leading to a big fear that maybe china is finally hitting 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 and 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 over all the world economy is in for a very very difficult year in two thousand and twelve. party sarah first joins us now with news on how russian markets are reacting to global strong so sara how are the global fear is hitting home here in moscow well as the year crisis rages on what we're seeing is markets fooling worldwide here in russia we've seen the regal
2:15 am
slump against the dollar in the year since the beginning of august it hit its lowest level against the dollar this week in nearly two years and really as we're seeing this playing out in the markets people in these countries are really starting to panic a little bit less seeing what's happening in italy with that just being downgraded a greece in an extremely perilous situation and the social unrest that's a reason for people losing their jobs in the hundreds or thousands not just the children but their homes as well you know this really has an impact in these countries and then we still very well all of what happened three years ago when the western banking crisis also hit these emerging economies other heavy criticism from a lot of people analysts saying that a really bizarre comes down to policy dysfunction in both europe and the u.s. and then you see much more decisive action up from the political leaders to do this and avoid a double dip recession happening a bit as we're watching e.u. leaders struggle really to get all not us
2:16 am
a debt crisis people living in the emerging economies are going to be nervously watching now to see when their countries are going to be able to ride out but you are still. all right sarah thanks very much indeed for the zombie tariff there. on for analysis of the global economic outlook our business bulletin has the latest . markets just opened and they are heading south once again both the r.t.s. and the my sex on the over it's two percent and they're right but even though investors are panicking i'm going to say that russia is a better prepared to handle and other financial crisis if it gets about i will tell you more about that and business shortly. and of course we've got more stories for you on our web site that's r t v dot com right now here's what's available for you there. dancing mat a you tube star famous for and making his moves all around the world waltzes into russia saying it is for

a new episode his travels series. and the world watch a wherry six ton nasa satellite is going to conquer actually down as the latest predictions suggest it's italian soil that's likely to suffer the impact. well relations between the u.s. and pakistan if hit a new low 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 is strongly denied the claims and systematic her of antiwar dot com john glaser says the u.s. wants to be recognized as the world's policeman but turns a blind eye to the violence it causes itself. well i mean it's for
2:18 am
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 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 in villages throughout afghanistan for years human rights watch just came out with a report condemning them for killings illegal detentions of rape and murder
2:19 am
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 out nine 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 horn of africa and the rabbit insula that's not he's not if you can reports this policy as scott american in a vicious circle. the u.s. is aggressively expanding its drone war by setting up more and more basis for those unmanned aerial vehicles or the u.a.e.
2:20 am
vs 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. 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 of al qaeda affiliates in the region roads 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 a handful of factual 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
2:21 am
where whether or not their 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 debt problem sluggish economy and with three wars that han't american officials still lavish money on military projects which some experts say may well backfire at their own security. so take a look at some of the stories from around the world of students now clashed with police in the chilean capital santiago demanding education reforms forces fired tear gas after coming under stones at least one officer was injured
