4:01 am
is actually coming to you live from moscow with the rena joshie 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 but it's left the world divided was many throwing their support behind palestine while an isolated us threatens to veto the bid on the grounds israel hasn't approved the move. has more on emotions and expectations in palestine from the west bank. history in the making that the media gave here in palestine and palestinians prepare for that historic good for statehood at the united nations tens of thousands of palestinians are expected later today here on the streets of ramallah and also across the whole bank there are huge stages that are being prepared with big t.v. screens that will forecast live the speech of the palestinian president mahmoud abbas later today now this is a moment the palestinians have been preparing for for years when you talk to
4:02 am
palestinians here they say that this is the economy simply of decades of struggle at the think on 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 good 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 his role in this very it does change the ground rules with many observers they are saying that it held in a new time in terms of palestinians commitment to nonviolence we expected back in his speech to talk about the fact that decades of negotiations with the israelis have yielded nothing in fact what many here say it has only resulted in israeli settlement expansion we also expect him to reassure both palestinians and the international community that the timing is wide and that the palestinians are
4:03 am
committed to a palestinian state that will co-exist peacefully alongside israel the center of the conflict of course the whole issue of land the question of this woman raise some half a million israelis live it is very important in trying to understand this conflict to talk to people on both sides of the border and this is what i did. taylor has been farming land deep in the hebron hills 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 at don't you want a document that this. is the most you know it's. going. but not so what 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 life
4:04 am
a dog resistance force it's enough of a surplus says mr something the army will come immediately and arrest us the west bank is full of people like jacob and nasser israelis and palestinians both main 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 not 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 is also taking advantage and senior citizens to settle the whispering so it has a stronger argument not to give it up but it's storing up problems like your one and his wife yell who now at the center of
4:05 am
a major quarter bentyl it's not between israelis and palestinians it's a battle between israelis and israelis i would never have was in the world i was in both of them. both there and good. or. right through. the. eleven years ago the israeli government not only gave you one on this land to farm but help 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 state has it's standing his way and believes his wife ideology is only part of the story i believe these are many different problem or 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
4:06 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 head one hills. coming up in the program here in r.t. american eyes on average in sky is america builds up its flock of drones in africa critics say its attempt to make the world safer is only driving working towards terra. a much desired entrance to the european passports zone for rumania and bulgaria has been blocked by some e.u. members amid concerns of high crime and lax borders as r.t. is laura and reports after the arab spring shang in countries have been reconsidering their own frontiers. the second zone is a european dream come true a continent without borders freedom to travel live and work across twenty five
4:07 am
countries but attempts by belgariad 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 into through to the gates or for him to remain in 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 of course organisation in europe and has to protect itself in christmas more important than people from bulgaria or 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. those 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
4:08 am
access into 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. recently to protect their borders against the influx from from illegal immigrants think of it will be very uneven greece and it's not unreasonable to. put horror forest to these 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 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 the. already reintroduced border controls i think we just need to be friends and realize that it really has led to a race of criminal activity nationally knowing that have element in
4:09 am
romania and bulgaria you have to be very naive not to see that this race will be even higher if if the border control was abolished true these countries as well garia andrew mania are recognized to have improved border controls shanghai and members also want them to work on crime prevention inside their own borders before opening them up and that's quite apart from the destabilizing effects of yet more wal-mart's migration in an unsteady europe maybe in the e.u. one specifically worried about roumania 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 that it's on the edge of the say. to make their borders your borders and many wonder if this is wise especially as a time when undressed in arab countries means thousands of north africa and middle
4:10 am
eastern refugees have already found their way to europe your average artsy brussels . more stories for you on our website or t.v. dot com let's take a look at what's available there for you right now. down scene out there you have star famous for making his moves all around the world waltzes into russia's st petersburg for a new episode of his travels units. and world watching wary six down nasa satellite is going to come crashing down as the latest predictions suggest it's italian soil that's likely to suffer the impact. asian markets have opens with a slump on friday following in hardy's session on wall street it's the second straight day of bad trading after thursday's global markets had their worst drop animal. that prompted by actual years of the g. twenty group of major economies to issue a statement saying they will take strong action to counter their prices combined
4:11 am
with a series of grave warnings from the us federal reserve and the international monetary fund this spark concern of a double dip recession being just around the corner as a rival is inevitable says patrick young who is the executive director of the investment by zarif firm devi advisors inc and let's look at it in the united states of america growth is basically only in europe groups it's very low or it's going backwards in all of them and your economies and also we've got this terrible terrible northside slippage issue with the likes of greece and if we look at somewhere like china which has been a huge engine of the global economy well they've had some pretty new factoring numbers come on the small and that too is leading to a big fear that maybe china is finally heading the ball 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 the us look 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
4:12 am
ultimately all overall the world economy is in for a very very difficult year in talking to twelve. countries from their breaks a group of emerging economies may give or aid to debt ridden european nations although they were joint initiative as planned they have agreed to do what they can every times correspondent have escobar says the blocks seizing an opportunity to gain a political for hold within the international monetary fund what the brics want is more participation at the i.m.f. . some numbers are essential. europe is still the largest economy in the world around twenty four percent of global g.d.p. and the brics they are at twenty one percent in rice but in terms of the i.m.f. goals two greeks have eleven percent and western europe have two percent so if europe once help from the i.m.f.
4:13 am
and if the brics have more see the larger holders of the i.m.f. you will we can see for instance china brazil or india putting more money where they are more stakeholders at the i.m.f. and then does the i.m.f. distribute this to somalia to european countries this is not going to happen to him or even next year he would imply visceral reform of the i.m.f. which is being fought but i guess what the europeans and the americans. are you watching are to live from moscow now as we go to our top story now it's time for paris to hand in its press for u.n. recognition in just a few hours well to talk about this we are joined live now by. dr mustafa barghouti live from ramallah mr of are good i think you are much for being here with us in the program well first there's been a lot of anger among palestinians worldwide to works mahmoud abbas for choosing to
4:14 am
delay the actual vote until later and avoid an immediate outright veto from the u.s. so what's abbas's game plan here. i think what's happening is that the palestinians are but i. could go on. and use this negotiations for over twenty years i've been lost without any progress because of israeli policy and because of that it was all corruption to peace with the very last chance of. the solution could vanish unless something has gone and that's why we are going to the united nations to change the part of the. world we were promised even president obama i'm sorry of a year ago and the same united nations said by paul thousand eleven dollars fine for become a full member of the united states now mr obama is making a very poor against not only us but the majority of the population of the war
4:15 am
against himself against his own problems well certainly it's a change of position there as you just said about a year ago he expressed hope that there will be freedom independence for palestinians there but how's of bottomless veto threat effect the palestinian trust in the u.s. in the long term you think how much weight will his voice carry in any future talks . new to the questions. i just wanted to make on what you said earlier about obama's change in position regarding palestinian statehood and what he said last year about it so how will that affect palestinian trust in the u.s. and one of bombing has to say to them in the future. i think mr obama has made a very bad move that will affect the image of the united states not only among palestinians got in the whole region and the whole middle east and the arabs and the muslims. anybody who seeks freedom in the world. and in fact
4:16 am
actually the american move to go president obama completely the israeli narrative in his speech. is the victim in this conflict and. is the one that was. ninety percent of the wars and disputed by adopting the israeli narrative in my opinion has harmed the. united states going to be immediate response of the peace process or even an active participant by picking a biased was dismissed it was very he has undermined the possibility of the united states to believe that all of a mediator. well you know there are a lot of issues dad both sides have to sort out and the issue of occupied territories is certainly one of the major stumbling blocks between israelis and palestinians which many in israel are saying they simply won't accept any
4:17 am
recognition in palestine. you know what is that we out of the situation what can be done to break this vicious circle. a vicious cycle exists since twenty years i remind you that it's been years ago the palestinians and israelis signed on our court called all sort of human according to which all the final status issues from have been negotiated negotiated finalized by me to ninety nine we had already in two thousand and eleven and none of that has happened i mean why why any push issues were happening when israel was an accident because the piece by piece by the end that would be nothing left to negotiate about israel has a clear that was something we put sides are negotiating over a piece of cheese one side the palestinians are just talking and the israeli side is anything but a piece of cheese at the end of the day as i said nothing would be left to deal we
4:18 am
are going to be on and creating a new dynamic and you put a dime because we want to build a wall but we cannot accept to steer to steer clear of the full completion of apartheid system and that we will not accept understands and vehicles as a substitute for you and stick to the reality this is not a fight about the good condition of the state of not it's about love that we have a real sovereign state that can be a viable contiguous part of the world peace or we would be. kept in prison like that is sort of bundle stones under israeli regime money and control that we would not accept if they're killed that was the it's all true we would have one last option left which is the struggle for one states with motion for the democratic rights but the responsibility of killing or peace based on two state solution would be israeli one and those who are complicit with mr. well most of the surface certainly a very complex situation there but what is
4:19 am
a win win solution there briefly if you can tell us in your opinion. so i didn't go because from here you can sort of for sure absolutely well under the circumstances and given the complexity of the situation there in the region what is their win win solution if there is any in the forseeable future i mean. i think the solution is not complex and it's going to be very simple what we need is a new balance of power what we need is to clear a new part of what we need is to create sawfish. for the course before keep if you will be larger than it's been for us this very moment is there has been a fifteen foot i would not call for skits ninety percent of palestinian all of it is part of escaping most of our land which of course billions of dollars it is beautiful thing from exploding palestinians economy plea controlling already economy this needs to be changed and it can be changed from
4:20 am
a peaceful nonviolent resistance but also through the mobilization of information it's only that if you put each that point early on we're good cause the whole conversion would be bigger than it's been if it's this would be ideal freedom for the palestinians but even because there is a very is themselves cannot be fully as long as we are hostages to this system or for as long as palestinians are not free. to yourself understand what is the meaning of a preposition you know what how much people suffer from occupation and time has come for palestinians to be for the time has come to end this occupation that has become the longest in modern history and that has transformed into the system of apartheid segregation and i'll put him in modern history all right mr barghouti well all eyes are on the u.n. general assembly today but for now thank you very much for your thoughts myself everybody member of the palestinian parliament. relations between
4:21 am
the u.s. and pakistan have hit a new low after a top american military chief accuse pakistan's intelligence service are supporting a group behind last week's a tap on the american embassy in kabul some of our and strongly denied the claims assistant editor of antiwar dot com john glaser says the u.s. wants to be recognized as the world's policeman turns a blind eye to the violence it 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 a specifically. 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.
4:22 am
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 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 murder. so on and so forth and so that's a proxy war what's strange is that when the pakistanis do it if 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 and for these two to sort of level out their power play. one of the stumbling blocks in the us pakistan relations is that american drone attacks on al qaeda operatives of pakistani territory continually
4:23 am
resulted in civilian deaths however the us military considers them so effectively that so effective rather that it is building a number of new drone bases in the horn of africa and the arabian peninsula but as our account reports 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 ruined bases is unfolding in east africa ethiopia is hosting a fleet of country killers as they call them in the military a similar installation has opened in the seychelles a. base is under construction. to enable more flights over yemen and all this is u.s. officials say it's being done to target al qaeda affiliates in the region drones have become the main weapon of america's undeclared war so it's
4:24 am
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 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 of 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 people are jobless and one in six americans leaves on food stamps and many here who find it outrageous that with
4:25 am
a gigantic debt problem 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 they're well let's now take a look at what's happening in business maria's year with an update. unwelcome supposin this here on artsy global economic uncertainty has pushed the russian markets to levels of two thousand and sun but this may not be the end of the slump as investors are waiting for a clue in the policy response in the us and europe and of course from about ten of all the guys at the arts yes and central moscow hello to that sound it's now been so in a half hour since markets opened is the mood of the investors are as gloomy as the weather today. well maria you're absolutely right it's really a bad radio weather here in moscow just as it is on the stock market both the
