four hour news live from the center of moscow this is not seen with me reception 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 now but has 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. has more on the emotions and expectations in palestine she reports from the west bank. history in the making that's the media gate here in 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 also across a whole with a bank there are huge stages that are being prepared with big t.v. screens aboard possibly live the speech of the palestinian president mahmoud abbas later today now this is

a moment the palestinians had been preparing for for years when you talk to palestinians here 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 the 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 he do so and in fact the pressure from the united states have 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 good does change the ground rules with many observers here saying that it heralds in a new time in terms of palestinian commitment to nonviolence we expect him 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 wise and that the palestinians are committed to a palestinian state that will co-exist peacefully alongside israel then two of the conflicts of course the issue of land the question of this woman away from a 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 headline 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 have got a book you want a document that this. is the first you know it is the. 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. resist with force and soon after the surpluses was the army will come immediately and arrest us the west bank is full of people like jacob the nasser israelis and palestinians both claim 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 famous cut 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 home

and his wife yell who are now at the center of a major quarter battle it's not between israelis and palestinians it's a battle between israelis and israelis. that will. both work with both unions the. right to. settle of their. 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 is really 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 i believe these are 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 it's 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 is what he feels are part of palestine these clashes will in hindsight be a warning of what was to find a policy on r.t. in the hebron hills. much of the palestinian justification in bringing the plight of the united nations is due to two decades of fruitless peace talks constantly interrupted by the expansion of israeli settlements that's according to palestinian m.p. dr mustafa barghouti he says the only way to end the endless cycle is to talk to israel not as a junior member but as a fully fledged nation. we cannot. use this negotiations for over twenty years have been lost without any progress because it was the only policy and because of was that it was obscene action for peace even president obama himself a year ago in the same united nations said that by two thousand and eleven. become

a full member of the united states we are already in two thousand and eleven and none of that has happened i mean why why you can of course you should is what happening is a very was an accident but it is biased to piece by piece. then there would be nothing left to negotiate about israel has a commuted this if you wish two sides are negotiating over a piece of cheese one side the palestinians are just talking and the israeli side is eating the piece of cheese then the as i said nothing would be left clear we are going to be one clear thing and you don't i mean. because you want to build a wall. to steer to steer clear of the full completion of hundred truckloads of stuff and we will not accept frontal stance and get us as a substitute to you and stick it in reality this is not our fight i want to go the mission of the state of mind it's about whether we have legal authority to speak that can be viable contiguous and part of world peace. and kept in

prison like in peace or a bunch of stones and that is really his money and control. speaking at the u.n. general assembly british prime minister david cameron it defended his country's actions in libya and went too far as to say that it could be a template for further interventions it's a many to wonder why nato and the west freshly invigorated with revolutionary fervor don't throw their lot in with the palestinians british opposition labor m.p. tony lloyd says the fact that they don't is a real problem. this concept that we have different standards in different situations devils international diplomacy and i think 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 postilion people are in charge of policy in peace with its neighbors israel because if we're saying and we are saying rightly so the syrians what's taking place in syria is out

rageous 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 garmsir when we see settlements built on palestinian territory by israeli settlers when we have an government in television which seemingly does not really want so it's a negotiate and israel seems to be able to block any move towards meaningful negotiation so taking this to new york i think is a very important step. we with our people are from moscow and coming up in a program here are american eyes on a sky as the u.s. builds up its squadron of drones critics say its attempts to make the world safer are you driving more people towards. a much desired entrance to the european passport free zone for romania and bulgaria has been blocked by something you members all of that concern of high crime and lax borders. reports

south of the arab spring showing ghana countries are 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 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 would also enter through through the gates offer them to me in bulgaria also illegal immigrants through turkey will come to bulgaria and romania and then have free access to the showing in countries which is not quite organisation in europe has to protect itself and this is 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. 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 into sangin was delayed when its border with turkey was found to be full of holes if you have countries. who are not doing a lot. clear borders against the influence from from illegal immigrants including. maybe even greece and it's not the only reasonable tool to put harder barriers to these countries. if you want them to give them freedom of danish peace for all parties had previously voiced concerns about paul kariya andrew manias entry into schengen they cite corruption and crime

as the main reasons and agree with france and italy that the scheme should be reformed denmark has already reintroduced border controls i think we just need to be friends and realize that the agreement has led to a raise of. transnationally and knowing development 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 through these countries as well although paul garia andrew mania all recognize to have improved border controls saying and members also want them to work on crime prevention inside their own borders before opening them up and that quite apart from the destabilizing effect of yet more mass migration in an unsteady europe maybe in the e.u. one specifically worries 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 they. said enough to make their borders your borders and many wonder if this is wise especially as a time when the rest in the arab countries means thousands of north africa and middle eastern refugees have already found their way to europe nor have it r.t. brussels. stories for you on our website of course. right now available for you want line. internet sensation gone seeing a you tube star famous for making his moves all around the world waltz is now into russia's of some petersburg for a new episode of his troubled series. on the world's watching where e six. live is going to come crashing down as the latest predictions suggest it's holly and soil those unlikely to bat the brunt of the.

so nearly a quarter past the hour now here asian markets have opened with a slump. following an arduous session on wall street it's the second straight day of bad trading after thursday's a global markets had their worst drop in a month that prompted the financial leaders of the g. twenty group of major economies to issue a statement saying that they will take strong action to counter the debt crisis combined with a series of grave warnings from the u.s. federal reserve and of course the international monetary fund that sparked concern of a double dip recession being just around the corner and its arrival is indeed inevitable this according to patrick young he's the executive director of the investment advisory firm advisors. let's look at it in the united states of america growth

these peaceably any match in europe group is very low or it's children but in all of them are economies and also we've got this terrible terrible north sideslip beach issue with the lights and police and if we look at somewhere like china which has been a huge engine of the global economy well they had some pretty good. numbers coming out this morning and that too is leading to a big fear that means 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 overall the world economy is in for a very very difficult year in two thousand and twelve. countries from the brics group of emerging economies may give a two debt ridden european nations joint initiative as planned they have agreed to do what they can. of course one of the escobar says the blocks seizing an

opportunity to gain a political foothold within the international monetary fund. what the brics want is more participation at the i.m.f. so some numbers are essential. europe is still the largest economy in the world around twenty four percent of global g.d.p. in the brics they are twenty one percent in rice but in terms of the i.m.f. thoughts the brics have eleven percent in western europe have spirit supersets so if europe warrants some help from the i.m.f. and if the brics have a more c. and larger calder's the i.m.f. we can see for instance china brazil or india putting more money in the i.m.f. there are more stakeholders at the i.m.f. and india is the i.m.f. distributors this money to european countries but this is not going to happen so more or even next year it will imply of visceral reform of the i.m.f.

which is before but i guess what the europeans or the american. dollar for further analysis of the global economic outlets across over to marina and our business thirst for the latest. hire henri while it's a gloomy day for the markets after a brief spell in positive territory europe has now slowed back inside their eggs when in wall street aides are and of course russia but even though experts are warning there is a lot of pessimism we do have analysts that say that russia is better prepared this time around for another down to an effort of course comes down so i want to tell you why and business. this is r.t. now relations between the u.s. and pakistan have 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 has strongly denied the claims assistant editor of the antiwar dot com movement john

glaser says the u.s. wants to be recognized as the world's policeman but turns a blind eye to the violence that of course is itself. well i mean it's for a long time it's been recognized by sources in government and outside that the pakistani government and 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 in 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 rape murder duction and 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 and one of the stumbling blocks in the u.s. pakistan relations is that american drone attacks on al qaeda operatives on the pakistani territory continually result in civilian deaths so it would the u.s. military considers them so effective that it's building a number of new drone bases in the horn of africa and the arabian peninsula was artie's garniture can reports the spotlessly has called america in

a vicious cycle. 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.v.'s they are 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 al qaeda affiliates in the region drones have become the main weapon of america's undeclared war so it's a new kind of more fair 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 has 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 a 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 who find it outrageous that with a gigantic that problem sluggish economy and with three wars at hand american official still lavish money on military projects which some experts say may well backfire at their own security. or with all its got some international headlines now in a world of thousands of students have clashed. police in the chilean capital santiago

are demanding education reforms forces fired tear gas after coming under a hail of star and least one officer injured the move comes after a government to go she ations with the students broke down the country has been seeing demonstrations for months. thousands of mourners have gathered in the afghan capital for the funeral of former president burhanuddin rabbani ceremony was held a bit tight security following fears it could become a target target provided was assassinated on choose day by a suicide bomber who had claimed to have been a taliban envoy he had reportedly hit on the device inside his turban. yemen's president ali abdullah saleh has returned to the country three months after surviving an assassination attempt it comes as the death toll from five days of clashes between pro and anti-government forces has reached at least one hundred on thursday fighting raged with heavy explosions and gunfire all across the capital

sanaa and the situation it will be there for debate in cross talk at twelve noon g.m.t. a live ellen is a panel of guests checking to see if a foreign intervention could solve the crisis there the yemenis do have the power to settle accounts with the ship and the key principle here is the people who do the fighting get through the running of the country afterwards we've seen it again and again it's one hundred first airborne or u.s. a.f. or the aria or the french air force they get to control the country afterwards it's the yemenis themselves like the egyptians like the tunisians whatever the political differences amongst them they're the people who get through the liberating and then people who get to run their country afterwards. but if you stay with us here on the way to moscow now team take you to the city of a border kids in russia's north western area it's a medieval town still very much alive in the twenty first century and the journey to this alternative reality begins shortly that's right after the business with

a very. business here on r.t. global economic uncertainty has pushed the russian markets to levels of two thousand and ten but this may not be the end of the song as investors are waiting for a clearer policy response in the u.s. and europe correspondent. p.r.c.'s in central moscow hello igor it's the very middle of the trading day now is the word of the investors as gloomy as the weather or has a change perhaps. well as the weather but perhaps not as gloomy as yesterday yesterday we saw record falls falls the work outs of it as those in two thousand and nine as the markets fell between seven and eight percent today the downward trend does continue the r.t.s. is down by two point nine percent the mice it's done by two point six six we are

seeing investors rushing away from the emerging markets and going back to the safe securities experts are saying this is not necessarily a reflection of the fundamental state of the russian economy but rather a response to the u.s. measures which are proposed which of course haven't convinced traders anywhere in the world this is a worldwide trend of course also talking about the ruble the ruble is once again suffering a consecutive day of fall it's. gone up by a publix began three dollars and here experts are saying that it might shoot up to even thirty five roubles by a dollar by the end of the year also others are saying that the russians i'm told by is likely to intervene and strengthen the ruble so we'll just have to wait and i . thank you very much for that. and the latest figures and the numbers oil is trying to recover some of its losses after a six week low in the previous session this sentiment is supported by the group of twenty five rising to the global economy. trading at around

indeed. dollars and fifty five cents while the broad blend is approaching one hundred six dollars and a second look at what's happening in europe north kids have slipped into negative territory after seen modest gains earlier and especially london's footsie is their own buy point at three percent of all the german dax it is approaching one percent in the red and thus the spike in real progress is made by major economies to put an end to the latest financial problems in europe. plus if you look at the latest figures here in russia the my sex is the instant soup point six percent of the sour the arts yes is approaching the three percent of the opposite of about in the words on the my sites right now while majors are down a loss and that is losing more than three percent lukoil is shedding one point five m. russia's biggest lenders burbank is not far behind after seen an almost ten percent plunge on thursday. as unless there's a way in the trances of

a double dip recession blather it's a community i believe that russia is now better prepared for a meltdown than ensues thousand and eight. when the except shown that in the rush the mystical driven instability of the financial system was on the rise we before the crisis three four five months before the crisis actually were often starting from april not march of two thousand and eight in the current setup a way that shows that yes we've seen some spike of instability back in june but july august we see. the stable situation as a composite index of course we have seen what we've seen in the markets on the in the currency. market in particular about on the other hand that's not all of the financial system moral what i want to see here is that comparing to the station three years ago the russian economy and russian financial market is much better prepared in the sense that we see much more flexibility in the crisis rates we see

much more flexibility in central bank or the so we see a more flexibility in government's response so the hope is that even given the rising global pressures russia and the russian economy is prepared to sustain this pressure that was three years ago and that's what i'll indexers. and that's why i've found that it's all scots technology is a spine a stake in china so the largest in commerce group the a c. is part of a consortium that's a great so vast one point six billion dollars and in return for five percent of the company. and that's a business looks the sour from our sourcing always had small websites r.t. dot com slash business and the meantime states in for the headlines have already.
