very warm welcome in syria this is r.t. live from moscow with me research and you hope dawning in palestine as its president prepares to hand in its formal request for u.n. recognition in just a few hours time but the move has left the world divided as many throwing their support behind palestine while an isolated us threatens to veto the bid on the grounds that israel hasn't approved the move. has more from the west bank on the emotions and expectations history in the making that's the case here in palestine as palestinians pay paul batista for statehood at the united nations tens of thousands of palestinians are expected later today here on the speak of ramallah and also a. bank there are huge stages that are being prepared with big t.v. three part live each 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 palestinians here they say that it's 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 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 israel and that's good jazz changed the ground rules with many observers you 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 be assured 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 whole issue of land the question of this woman away from a heart 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 good approved document a document that this. is the measure you know it is. 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 good can i do nothing or deliberate resistance force it's enough of a surplus is masoud something the army will come with it like and arrest us the west bank is full of people like jacob and 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 but 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

hundred and his wife yell 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 would never vote for the evil eye but both that of both. the. far. right to harm you know. the. eleven years ago the israeli government not only gave you her number 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 state as it's sending his way and believes his wife ideology is only part of the story i believe these are many small problem worse than a little mafia you can almost say that feeling 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 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 headline hills. much of the palestinian justification in bringing the plight of united nations as two decades of fruitless peace talks calls on interrupted by the expansion of israeli settlements that's according to palestinian 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 stay here with that and sort of the useless negotiations for over twenty years have been lost without any progress because of israeli policy and because of was there is the action for peace even president obama himself a year ago in the same united nations said that by two thousand and eleven a list

clients would become a full member of the united states we had ordered in two thousand and eleven and none of that has happened i mean why why you and of course your shoes were happening in israel was an accident and keep it could be used to post piece by piece. then that would be nothing left to negotiate about israel has commuted the something we like to sides are negotiating over a piece of cheese one side the palestinians are just talking about and their israeli side is eating a piece of cheese then do the as i said nothing would be left to do we are going to be one clear thing and you don't i mean. because you want to build a wall but we cannot accept to steer to steer clear of the full completion of under apartheid system and we will not accept understands and giggles as a substitute to you and stick with you this is not a fight about a good condition or the stupid or not it's about why don't we have a real sort of street that can be viable contiguous and part of the world peace or

we would be. kept in prison like it is or understands under israeli here's your money and. speaking at the u.n. general assembly british prime minister david cameron it defended his country's actions in libya even going as far to say could be a template for further interventions it's led many to wonder why nato and the west freshly invigorated with a 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 think it's a real problem. this concept that we have different standards in different situations bedevils international diplomacy in a 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 person in people in charge of probably 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 public simians are being treated so harshly in garmsir when we see settlements been built on palestinian territory by israeli settlers when we haven't gotten to live the seemingly does not really want saying it's a negotiate 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 step but i think minutes past the hour here in moscow you're with artsy i thought to come for you in the program american eyes on the skies as the u.s. builds up at squadron of drone critics say its attempts to make the world safer are really driving more people towards. a much desired entrance to be european a passport free zone for mania and bulgaria has been blocked by some. conservative

high crime and lax borders and it's argues that laurette reports after the arab spring showing 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 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 of the meaning in bulgaria also illegal immigrants through turkey will come to who carry in rumania and then have free access to the showing in countries which is not put organization 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 shannon was delayed when its border with turkey was found to be full of holes if you have countries or who are not doing a lot. to basically protect their borders against the influx from from the illegal immigrants think of the area maybe even greece and this is not unreasonable to to put horror. to these countries if if you want to give freedom of danish any peace for all parties had previously voiced concerns about bulgaria and romania as entry into second base like corruption and cry as the

main reasons and agree with france and italy that the scheme should be reforms denmark. already we introduced border controls i think we just need to be friends and realize that green has. to raise productivity nationally and knowing their development in romania and bulgaria here 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 garia rumania are recognized to have improved border controls and members also want them to work on crime prevention inside their own borders opening them up and that's quite apart from the destabilizing effects of yet more mass migration in an unsteady europe maybe in the e.u. one specifically worries about remaining area trying to join the european passport

free zone but if the widening of the agreement as a whole in essence it means trusting from the. north to make their borders your borders and many wonder if this is why is especially as a time when rest in the arab countries means thousands of north africa and middle eastern refugees have already found their way to europe you were and it's hard to see brussels. time now for you to get involved here at r.t. on our website r.t. dot com we're asking you know what you think about the. look at the starts right now so i thought thirty nine percent of those who have responded believe it's growth is inevitable integrates seventeen percent think the zone should be frozen until the economy recovers fourteen percent of you believe the system is a security threat and must be abolished i was just about thirty percent believe it will die along with the idea of a good night with your every chance right now cast your vote for our team talk. to

of trading after thursday's global markets had their worst drop in a month has prompted the financial leaders of the g. twenty group of major economies to issue a statement saying they will take strong action to counter the debt crisis combined with a series of grave warnings from the us federal reserve and the international monetary fund despite concern of a double dip recession being just around the corner and its arrival is indeed inevitable as according to patrick young who's the executive director of the investment advisory firm advices. let's look at it in the united states of america growth is basically any match in europe group is very low or it's going backwards in all of them if your economies and also we've got this terrible terrible north sideslip beach issue with the lights and creates unfair 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 coming out 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 that looks really rather like europe and us looked in sort of two thousand and five two thousand sixty thousand seven and i really fear that i mean because you 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. countries from the brics a group of emerging economies and may give aid to debt ridden european nations that have a joint initiative has been planned they have agreed to do what they can educate as correspondent pepe escobar says but 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. . 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 really want percent in rice but in terms of the i.m.f. thoughts two greeks have eleven percent in western europe have thirty two percent so if europe wants some help from the i.m.f. and if the brics have to work more see the logic alters the i.m.f. you can see for instance china and brazil or india police more money be i.m.f. the other more holders are the i.m.f. and then there's the i.m.f. distributors just money to european countries but this is not going to happen tomorrow or even next year even though the imply of visceral reform of the i.m.f. which is before but i guess what the europeans and the americans part of your father analysis of the analysis rather of the global economic out of what's across of the marina the business that's for them and i know you've got your eyes on the numbers there what the latest that you see for us now higher of all in the

situation of the markets is really bad to worse european bourses had a brief spell in positive territory but they have since left and right and russian markets were already down when they are dropped they nosedive and we're now seeing losses of about a six percent. all right i'm going to get some more details from you in about five minutes time see that. 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 john glaser says the u.s. wants to be recognized as the world's policeman 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 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 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 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 out their power play and one of the stumbling blocks in the u.s. pakistan relations is that american drone attacks on al qaeda operatives in pakistan on pakistani territory continually result in civilian deaths however 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 but it's not easy gun and chicken 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 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 al qaeda affiliates 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 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 friend know the 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 gigantic debt problems sluggish economy and with three wars at hand american officials say a lavish money on military projects which some experts say may well backfire at their own security. putting right there you with. the he world up and out here some international headlines from around the world and or you thousands of students have clashed with police in the chilean capital santiago this demanding education reforms forces fired tear gas after coming under a hail of stones at least one officer was injured the move comes after

a government go she ations with the students broke down country has been seen demonstrations for months now. thousands of mourners have gathered in the afghan capital for the funeral of the former president and sort of a new dinner up on the ceremony was held a bit tight security following fears it could become a terror target was assassinated on tuesday by a suicide bomber claimed to be in a taliban envoy in the device reportedly in his turban. yemen's president ali abdullah saleh has returned to the country three months after surviving an assassination attempt comes as the death toll from five days of clashes between pro and anti-government forces has now reached one hundred first a fighting raged with heavy explosions and gunfire all across the capital sanaa and the situation there will be up for debate today and cross talk as people are velazquez his panel of guests if foreign intervention could solve the crisis. the

yemenis do have the power to settle accounts with a solid dictatorship and the key principle here is the people who do the fighting get to do the running of the country out of the woods we've seen it going again if it's one hundred first airborne or u.s. a.f. all the aria the french air force they get the control country afterwards if the yemenis themselves like the egyptians like the tunisians whatever the political differences amongst them they are the people who get through the liberating and they're the people who get to run their country afterwards. if you stay with us across the uk you're an r.t. in about ten minutes time but for now though it's the business with america. hello and welcome to business here on our global economic uncertainty has pushed the russian markets to levels of two thousand and ten but this may not be the end of the slump last and that's why waiting for a clearer policy response in the us and in europe correspondent either that or

defend an r.t.s. in central moscow for us hello to either wall can you tell us what's the latest on the russian markets. well more bad news there r t s m i six as of now have gone down by more than five percent a day together with the decreases yesterday with the trends of between seven and they got the sense this is surely likely to be the worst week of trading on the russian markets this year to date right now the calls are considered to be instability in the european markets they're reading the signals from the european markets unfolding here but overall this is the response to the latest policies which have been suggested by ben bernanke by the u.s. which have not convince investors which of cause them to rush back to away from the emerging markets and do more secure markets but at home the ruble as well as of another twelve topic tonight against the dollar it's now at thirty two perhaps not as big a fall of what we witnessed in recent days but the trend is still clear the ruble

is getting cheaper against the dollar so no good news from here at the moment. all right we're going to thank you very much for that of the rush to reprice and there but thank you so much those are it's easy going to go and never poured in from the party here. let's take a look at the latest figures now and we'll start with oil which was recovering some of its losses after slumping so six week low in the previous session but it has now gone back down and that's after the group of twenty plugged in to address rising rest of the global economy let's take a look at what's happening in europe markets there have. in the deep end soon negative territory after seen modest gains earlier in the session london's footsie is losing one point four percent while the german dax is over two and a half percent in the red and that's the spike no promises by major economies to put an end to the latest financial problems in europe. and of course

a similar picture here in moscow the my sex has now dropped more than five and a half percent of the arts he has struck over five or less at the local at the end next movers on the my six zero zero majors are words that alan rolls in after is losing over six percent look oil is shedding over three and a half percent and russia's biggest lenders for a bank is not far behind it's losing over five and a half percent this hour after a long most ten percent plunge on thursday. as the masters are going in the chances of a double dip recession good news to come you know believes russia is no better prepared for a meltdown than sue thousand and they. oh index have shown that in russia the mystical driven instability of the financial system was on the rise we before the crisis three four five months before the crisis actually wrapped starting from april 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 fail the stable situation as a composite index of course we said we have seen what we've seen in the markets on the in the currency. market in particular but on the other hand that's not all of the financial system moral but i want to say here is that comparing to the station three years ago the russian economy and russian financial market is much better prepared in a sense that we see much more flexibility in the chrysler rate we see much more flexibility in central bank oil so we see a more flexibility in government response so the hope is that even given the rising global pressures russia and the russian economy is better prepared to sustain this precious than it was three years ago and that's what i will indexers. and that's a business like the sound of the thing is that santa will have the next update for you in about fifteen minutes and the meantime states into the headlines of the very .
