palestine as palestinians prepare for this historic but for statehood at the united nations tens of thousands of palestinians are expected later today here on the streets of ramallah and elsewhere across a whole waste bank there are huge stages that are being prepared with pay t.v. screens that will bore cost lives the speech of the palestinian president mahmoud abbas later today now this is a moment that's how this thing is has been preparing for yes when you talk to palestinians they say that this is the culmination of decades of struggle at the same time what we expect to happen tonight is that the palestinian president will give a speech at the united nations general assembly so too will be israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu abbas is going to go with his goods to the united nations security council despite pressure from the american president barack obama not to do so and in fact the pressure from the united states has angered and disappointed palestinians many of them saying that they feel that obama's speech on wednesday was overwhelmingly in support of israel most good does change the ground rules with
3:03 am
many observers here as saying that it held in a new time in terms of palestinians commitment to nonviolence and so he was saying that's what the tightest and security forces in collaboration with the israeli army to make sure that the protests today little be peaceful that they will be contained and that they will not detain into any kind of violence it is fitting that those but it happens on a friday because friday is the traditional day that usually optima day plays palestinians take to the streets very often they come they they they clash with israeli soldiers over the whole question of occupation but it certainly is putting that this historic moment is happening on a friday we write about in his speech to talk about the fact that decades of negotiations with the israelis have yielded nothing in fact what many can say it has only resulted in his way he stayed home an extension we also expect him to be a show of both kind of spin and the. national community that the timing is white and that the palestinians are committed to
3:04 am
a palestinian state that will co-exist peacefully alongside israel the pencil of the conflict of course whole issue of land the question of this moment with him martin million his way to live it is very important in trying to understand the context to talk to people on both sides of the border and of what i did. take a 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 there approve a document a document that these national internet you know it nice everett guys go call it the bible 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 in the for dog resistance forces and
3:05 am
after the civil service was sent something the army will come immediately and arrest us the west bank is full of people like jacob nasser israelis and palestinians both laying 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 throwing up problems like your one and his wife yell who are now at the center of a major quarter battle it's not between israelis and palestinians it's
3:06 am
a battle between israelis and israelis would never was a part of the world. both of which. both in your bags and. or. tried to harm. the. eleven years ago the israeli government not only gave you an under slanted 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 standing his way and believes his wife ideology is only part of the story that i believe is a management problem or a small little murphy 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 un rules
3:07 am
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. as palestine defies a bomb and it takes a struggle for recognition to the un security council it's all good guaranteed that they'll be there will be a fall for both sides for i know what the consequences are today might hold and are joined by a bristly room peter lloyd life from manchester is awaiting her much for being here with us in the program or as we know you have been to palestine heading a special parliamentary delegation so how ready are the palestinians to take control of their nation in your opinion. but i think they're already of course like like all things the the frustration for the palestinians is that since the oslo accords in one nine hundred ninety three they've been waiting for the international community to give real impetus to. the negotiations around
3:08 am
a two state solution and they wait the patiently wait and the haitian can wait so. in the sense this this determination of the palestinian authority is not in and for its agenda has got to be understood by the world was both about the frustration of the palestinian dragonfly about the lack of progress frustration about the lack of impetus in washington and with the quartet russia the e.u. the united nations and of course the frustration that is every term and israel seems to be able to block any move towards meaningful negotiations so. taking this to new york i think is a very important. well as we just heard from our correspondent and moments earlier there is the situation there on the ground it's quite complicated with constant still really between jewish settlers and palestinians sometimes
3:09 am
almost on a daily basis so how can the two states really co-exist with each other i mean with a history of conflict such a long history of conflict is there a win win solution and what is it. well i think there is a win win solution in the past that win win solution is getting the the people of israel to realize that it's a win for them if they in the end make peace with their palestinian neighbors because the point you make about this being a complicated situation on the ground is correct it is complicated but he gets daily more complicated as we see settlements been built and published in the in territory by israeli settlers when we have in their government and television which seemingly doesn't really want so since a negotiated. we know from all around the world that in the end conflicts are best handled by negotiated settlements we can look in the situation
3:10 am
in the north of the island for example where after decades of conflict a negotiated peace settlement made real progress we can look at different parts of the world where after conflict negotiating peace makes sense for everybody it's got to be right for the palestinians who themselves have accepted quite a lot of. the things they wouldn't historically have fought regional in moving to negotiation table to ask israel to recognize that it's in their own long term interests it's something that i think has got to be realize him in bosham to and perhaps today in new york and more generally around the world so this. obviously is an important gesture by the palestinians asking for. additional statehood but it goes beyond simply a gesture it's about giving the proper status to palestinians to be a full negotiating partner with the state of israel the recognized state of israel
3:11 am
and the two equal partners can now begin to hammer out the really difficult to sit stations on on settlements on the status of jerusalem on return of refugees all very complicated issues but ones that have got to be done in the end in some sense of good faith and that. today's importance it would be a shame if we're simply to see an american veto hold the spark and if we're not to see as well washington saying to tolliver this is not a victory for israel in this it's really part of the process of making sure that both sides sit down about negotiating. these really difficult issues well certainly as you said mr lloyd this is an important gesture but what's also interesting to look at is the attitudes of different sides in countries to it i mean just yesterday speaking before the un our british prime minister david cameron called for more to be done to help people aspiring for freedom such as what happened for instance in libya so why then does his revolutionary fervor not stretch to
3:12 am
palestine after he said he wouldn't vote in favor. but i'm sorry that that's the position of british government because you're right to point out that this concept that we have different standards in different situations bedevils international diplomacy and the think all countries frankly guilty of those same double standards and you know i feel personally great frustration that the quartet's and that includes obviously britain through the european union the united states russia the united nations have not put a lot more pressure on television to go straight because if we're saying and we are so rightfully so the syrians what's taking place in syria is that outrageous the syrian authorities have lost all moral compass but we ought to be saying as well that the situation where palestinians are being treated so harshly in garner's that when we know for example that only five percent of the the water is now drinkable
3:13 am
because of the pollution of the water systems when people are not able to fish because they've an arbitrary. limit put on the the the waters around gaza and this kind of thing where person is being forced into these. on acceptable conditions we ought to be saying to television first of all those issues be pressure on palestinians general economic pressure but actually most importantly in a world where we want to see the syrian people in charge of syria the libyan people in charge of libya let's make sure that the palestinians are free person in people in charge of palestine in peace with its neighbors in israel all right tony lloyd british labor m.p. thank you very much for your thoughts here on r.t. . and coming up in the program the looming abyss the one major car pledge to get saudi based fears of

biggest drop in a month combined with a series of grave warnings from the us federal reserve and the international monetary fund has sparked concern of a double dip recession just around the corner and its arrival is inevitable says patrick young who is the executive director of the investment advisory firm dva advisors. let's look at it in the united states of america growth is basically anemic in europe 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 lights and profits and if we look at somewhere like china which has been a huge engine of the global economy well they had some pretty bad manufacturing numbers come alive this morning and that too is leading to a big theory 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
3:19 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. russian markets responded to global fears with a sharp drop sarah firth has more on how it may reflect on a country as a whole. as the euro is a quite this rages on with thing and merging markets pulling worldwide the russian ruble slumped against the euro and the dollars since all this we saw the ruble hitting its lowest levels against the dollar in nearly two years this week and as this plays out on the markets people within the emerging economies now really wondering exactly what's going to happen so that there are a lot of concerns they can see what's happening countries like italy where we've seen that be downgraded this week agreed in an extremely perilous situation in the social unrest has arisen from people losing their jobs in the hundreds or thousands

italian soil that's likely to suffer the impact. without drawing too much attention the u.s. has been stepping up its military presence in africa as the number of drone bases has vastly increased in recent years manned aerial vehicles are used for targeting al qaida operatives in countries that forbid the u.s. from putting forces on the ground but hazards he's going to report this policy has caught america in 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. 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 a fleet of hunting killers as they call them in the military a similar installation has opened in the seychelles a. base is under construction. it is slow to enable more flights over

yemen and all this is u.s. officials say is being done to target of al qaeda affiliates in the region drones have become the main weapon of america's undeclared wars 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 leave it for that matter in pakistan for example u.s. drone strikes have killed thousands of civilians and have netted only 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 terror at the same time and the question where whether or not the 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
