coming up right here on the. chaos of the israeli palestinian border with stones and bullets flying it's just a short time before palestine officially submits its bid for statehood to the united nations. the yemeni president to return it to his country months after surviving an assassination attempt on the fears of more violence as five days of fighting between pro and anti regime forces leave doesn't. also fears of a double global recession intensify in the wake of thursday's huge markets plunge the nobody all the way from asia to debt the euro. and as the u.s.
11:01 am
expands its network of drone bases in east africa to target al qaeda critics highlight the civilian cost of the unmanned planes have had on pakistan. twenty four hour news live from moscow this is our with me. building among palestinians ahead of a formal request for you when recognition expected to be submitted shortly here by just being accompanied by trouble with clashes erupting at one of the checkpoints of the palestinian israeli border. at the scene of the rest. tensions are running high here on the kalandia checkpoint between jerusalem and ramallah the police behind me are firing at the palestinian youths that have moved further down the road the situation here is really changed is a photographer just in front of me that's been carried away because he's been shot
11:02 am
in the leg my eyes are blinking on the chair get in the air and certainly this is not the scene that anybody wants to see informed around the world that you can be injured people being taken away so what is happening right now is that the palestinians further down are worried about scenes like this because they do not want the wrong message to reach the international community and that is the message that the palestinians are not ready for statehood so many palestinians are worried that these wady army will use this as an excuse to lock down the west bank and increase the security prison there at the same time the palestinians will worry that these raids were used as an excuse to argue that palestine is not ready for statehood this comes just hours before the palestinian president mahmoud abbas is due to hand in eight written submission for statehood at the united nations the seedling the palestinian president will argue the case that decades of negotiations with the israelis have achieved nothing and so moving forward on
11:03 am
a unilateral declaration of statehood is the only way to go polity r.t. at the columbia checkpoint between jerusalem and ramallah and reporters following the situation of the palestinian israeli border something updates on our twitter feed or check in on one of our latest news right now here on arceo she says the clashes are erupting all around the west bank there are fears of more violence people are afraid this could be the start of the intifada followers that are to underscore. best's. the israeli foreign minister has said that if the palestinians carry on with the u.n. at statehood bid this would mean the end of any future peace talks this comes as a showdown is expected shortly at the u.n. general assembly let's get the latest our bodies were informed i wouldn't cross we're live now in new york so israel is about that peace talks going in the balance as the palestinian bid approaches you or there in new york or the u.n. or what can we expect to happen next. both clearly this situation is
11:04 am
becoming even more tense with these new statements being made by the israeli foreign minister according to interfax news agency lieberman did say that no negotiations will take place if the palestinians turn to the security council for recognition and those comments were made during an interview with russian journalists now of course we're getting this information just as the palestinian president is expected to be addressing the general assembly within an hour or so of fishley submitting his paperwork to the secretary general ban ki moon asking for statehood u.n. membership now or courting her also what's being recorded of most of us is asking for the security council president to process the application without delay in the security council that process could take anywhere to up to thirty five days but as we know the u.s. a staunch ally of israel has promised to veto any any bid for statehood
11:05 am
on behalf of the palestinians u.s. president barack obama addressed the general assembly few days ago saying that no statements or resolutions can solve the middle east conflict the only way statehood could come to palestine is if there are negotiations between the palestinians and the israelis negotiations that have been stalled for years now french president nicolas sarkozy when he addressed the general assembly he proposed for the palestinians to submit a vote to the general assembly that would elevate their status to a nonmember observer state and give them certain rights and allow them to join certain international organizations they would win that they would get the vote because to do that at least two thirds of the majority of the general assembly will support the palestinians for u.n. membership and for statehood but this is something that the israelis have. rejected
11:06 am
as well so clearly this is this is a showdown that's developing right now here in new york we will see the palestinian president and what i dress the general assembly and then probably within an hour afterwards israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu will take to the podium and deliver his speech and many countries even a veto wielding countries such as russia have said that nobody no one country should get involved or get in the way or block the aspirations of the palestinians the palestinians have said that following nearly two decades of negotiations are lot there of they are turning to the u.n. out of desperation state believe that they deserve their own independence and deserve a state but the majority of u.n. members do support that but it is the u.s. veto that could block this all from happening so this story is developing throughout the day and of course we are keeping our viewers posted as any more information does become available i'm certainly going to and as we understand it
11:07 am
here about the public's need to mahmoud abbas should be giving off presenting that bid for palestinian statehood sometime in the next thirty five or fifty five minutes so we'll be checking in with you in new york but as this all progresses on to session we're going to live in america thank you. so let's get some more details and more insight on this when i joined my daughters on this earth is waiting for us in tel aviv good to see you so the israeli foreign minister has reportedly said that the palestinian bid would mean an end to peace negotiations now twenty four hours ago the american president said that he would vote a promise to be for statehood but without forward he would he said that peace negotiations had to continue so these comments now from the israeli foreign minister what is the what is israel's of motivation here. well i just thought it was reminding the audience that exactly a year ago foreign minister lieberman was standing in the same podium and said that peace two state solution is not realistic and it will take
11:08 am
a generation if not more before we can we the final settlement between israel and the palestinians and today he's hugging president obama and saying that he would sign his address the u.n. address of president obama with two hands not only was one so i find it very difficult to offer you a very clear answer the israeli government is having to i'm afraid that they're having in mind right now is not the future of the next generation in israel my children and grandchildren but the future of the government. the stability of the coalition and how to survive the next day and score some more points the media frontier or as we say moments ago with our correspondent in new york at the
11:09 am
bridge without ask a palestinian state it will be added into the u.n. some time inside this hour we're hearing though that the vote at this point already be dead laid out how the issue is being downplayed by last you think always is the result of u.s. and israeli pressure to delay the handing it up as it. i believe that the decision to submit the request for. what we do we do apologize here and i see we just lost our signal there our connection with kiefer eldar a journalist from tel aviv offering insight into this very fluid situation as the palestinian leader mahmoud abbas is now going to be handing in his bid for a palestinian state of the united nations and we can now cross over to live
11:10 am
pictures here in r.t. or from columbia checkpoint on the palestinian israeli border we have heard reports of security forces clashing with stone throwing protesters also reports that a separate incident a man has been shot dead in the village of kuta it happened as settlers there reportedly burned and trees and israeli security forces used tear gas to disperse them again these are live pictures here in r.t. we spoke moments ago to marty's paulus leah she's in the area as well she was reporting that it's very difficult to see people the tear gas being dispersed in the area and that stones and bullets were all flying over head if you want to see more of the live pictures or just log on to our web site that is r r t dot com you can find a live transmissions right there of the latest from the west bank and the u.n. general assembly of course we will continue our coverage of palestine independent to stay with us for updates again from policy on the border there between palestine
11:11 am
and israel as well as the latest from the report at the u.n. general assembly in new york. the clashes between pro and anti government forces in yemen have intensified with the death toll from five days of violence reaching at least one hundred times the country's president returns to the capital three months. after surviving an assassination attempt. who underwent medical treatment in saudi arabia has called for a cease fire upon his return he says dialogue is the only way to end the bloodshed the country has been plunged into chaos since february when protests demanding an end to sally's thirty three year old rule erupted i thought of bharat mikhail from the european think tank for global action frida says it's unlikely yemen will see a repeat of either the libyan or syrian scenarios thanks to the country's allies in the arab world. but we've seen in the recent past that some countries
11:12 am
a lot of western countries of course but also some arabic countries wanted to build on what they called the success of the military operations in libya and in this case i would say that they had to try to find the kind of weakest elements of the regional scene on which they could try to build or to come with some further pressures and in this case i mean obviously we have a very very violent situation in yemen we could also talk about but i mean for example which is also submitted to search such a configuration or such a situation but in the same time both countries seem to be protected by one of their regional ally which is so dear a go when it came to the american strategy in the middle east in particular well this is so it is had they were to say i mean they were taken into consideration so considering that saudi arabia doesn't want anybody to intervene in the yemeni internal affairs considering also that rain is an important ally to the to the
11:13 am
united states but the ease also and contrary to which interests the saudi arabia is it that in this context you can see that with the ongoing serious situation in syria we also the violence is there are going on in syria it seems that some countries i would include the united states but also france and the u.k. and so on want to build a pressure further pressure on the syrian regime. and yemen is also the subject of the latest edition of crosstalk program coming your way that later this hour but for now here's a quick preview of what to expect. just compare and contrast libya and yemen yes would like to see and not fly zone that you don't want any aircraft to be actually . hitting in or people are heating up you know some sports in the ground that's simply wrong. the key principle here is the people who do the fighting get to do the running of the country afterwards we've seen it again
11:14 am
and again if it's one hundred first airborne or u.s. a.f. all the arias of the french air force they get to control the country afterwards if 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 the people who get to run their country afterwards. i just turn a quarter past the hour here and moscow fears are rising over a second wave of worldwide economic recession rating agency moody's is now downgraded eight greek banks due to the deteriorating economic situation and the debt ridden country now u.s. stocks are also heading for their worst weekly losses since two thousand and eight well financial pundit max keiser host of the show the kaiser report says it's the banks that are to blame for the current financial turmoil. there's very little anyone can do to solve the global debt crisis that hit the wall back in two
11:15 am
thousand and eight and it's still on a winding it's not a recession in the classic sense of labor and products and manufacturing that's not the case at all this is a balance sheet recession in other words the banks principally their balance sheets are collapsing and it's causing the overall economy to collapse because over the past ten to fifteen years the real economy is now dominated by the banking industry which controls more than fifty percent of the u.s. u.k. and global economy depending on how you account for their activities so when the banks' balance sheets collapse or they're doing now it collapses the global balance sheet and a continuation of the global depression anyone asking for a bailout is asking let's say the i.m.f. for a bailout and the i.m.f. is bankrupt the world bank is bankrupt and all they do is float more debt to pay off these local countries debt it's a huge debt ponzi scheme it's a huge debt pyramid scheme nobody has the equity to cover the debt the point is
11:16 am
that without banking reform without locking up the corrupt bankers there will be no forward progress and this enormous debt burden will continue to cause a wide scale poverty and economic chaos throughout the world i think mexico has a right there we have a more of the current financial trouble from our business desk with every tree. well the author has over the week lost sixteen and a half percent to my sex more than twelve percent so this is the worst week since november two thousand we have more details on that and around the time. the two youngest members of the european union in romania and bulgaria have been denied entry to the border free shindand zine e.u. interior ministers failed to vote on the issue due to harsh opposition from the netherlands and finland the dispute is already turning bitter to remain yet blocking the import of dutch flowers in a move described as quote old school blackmail by the netherlands law and it looks
11:17 am
into why now the e.u. is reconsidering its core principle of borderless travel. pushing in 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 through the gates or for him to remain 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 of course organisation in europe has to protect itself and this is more important than people from regalia or romania traveling 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
11:18 am
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. who are not doing a lot. to basically protect their borders against the influx from from the illegal immigrants think all of it will be very uneven greece and it's not unreasonable to to put harder barriers to these contrition if you want them to give freedom of danish any peace for all parties had previously voiced concerns about bulk area andrew manias entry into schengen they cite corruption and
11:19 am
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 framed and realize that it has led to a race of criminal activity nationally and knowing that of element in romania and bulgaria you have to be very naive to see that this race will be even higher if the if the border control was abolished through these countries as well although bulk area andrew mainly are recognized to have improved border controls and members also want them to work on crime prevention inside their own borders before we're opening them up and that's quite support for the destabilizing effects of yet more mass migration in an unsteady europe maybe in the e.u. once worried about roumania and bulk area trying to join the european passport free
11:20 am
zone but if the whitening of the equipment as a whole in essence it means trusting the. us to make their borders your borders and many wonder if this is why is especially it's a time when rest in arab countries means thousands of north africa and middle eastern refugees have already found their way to europe no rabbits r.t. brussels. for an hour time for you to get involved with us here on r.t. we want to know what you think about the future of the passport free zone good r.t. dot com and to cast your vote we're going to look at the starts right now see how your opinion is quite divided this point almost half of you are convinced that the very idea of free travel zones will die along with the notion of a united europe a little more than a quarter think of the borderless zone the world grow was europe continues to integrate eighteen percent believe an openness a zone within the e.u. is a threat to security and must be abolished and less than ten percent say new countries
11:21 am
should not be admitted to the shaking zone until the european economy recovers and out of cast your vote let us know what you see. think about it artie dot com. right just moments away from the business news here on r t but for now the u.s. is deploying new drone at bases in east africa to intensify attacks on al qaeda operatives but while the policy is saving american lives it has already resulted in thousands of civilian deaths in pakistan as he's gone each account reports. 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'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 now some very near arabian peninsula to enable
11:22 am
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 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 want to 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 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
11:23 am
people are jobless and one in six americans leaves on food stamps and many here do find it outrages that with a gigantic debt 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 he's going to report it right there from washington d.c. york in time for the world of other international news now those are a series. explosions in baghdad has left at least five people dead iraqi police say five bombs were planted early on friday around houses in a residential area in the west of the capital twelve people including three children were born to bombings and other attacks occur daily all across iraq as u.s. troops prepare to leave by the end of the. thousands of students have clashed with police in the chilean capital santiago demanding education reforms forces fired tear gas off the coming under a hail of stones at least one officer injured
11:24 am
a move comes after a government ago she asians with the students broke down demonstrations in the country have been going on for months now. talking to business with dmitri. welcome to the program russia's markets did see another bad day heightened fears of a new global recession we're hearing on oil prices and this was weighing on domestic audience for more now let's cross over to our correspondent you can i get order food has been standing at the russian stock exchange the r.t.s. and central mall in central moscow all day how would you all round up the day on the russian market so you go. it's been another dismal day for the russian markets there is no question about this today the my six has declined by four point five percent by five point two but it's not just today it's of course the trend for the week over the whole week the audience has lost
11:25 am
a stunning sixteen percent i mean by six twelve point five so this is perhaps one of the worst weeks that we've had since the peak of the financial crisis in two thousand eighty thousand and nine and stephanie the worst week we've had it and two thousand and ten everybody has been saying that the cause of this inside russia that this is a response late this is a policy suggestions which have been produced in the us by ben bernanke you by the federal reserve but at the same time russia has been affected worse than the other markets it did follow the trends in europe but this has seemed particularly vulnerable over the next few weeks we'll see whether this is a blip i'm a correction is soon to follow this is the predictor of a deeper crisis all right so you are going to have no thank you so much for round. oh let's take a look at how the markets looking out where they're still trading for example commodities markets in the u.s. oil has been recovering early in the session they went deep down around two and

a half dollars now it's down by just a notch nothis by a group of twenty pledging to address rising risks to the global economy stocks in the u.s. are trading positives. now after massive drops in the first day session this is of course because of their twisted policy the dow jones is now up point two percent nasdaq up point nine percent although this is a very minor correction compared to the losses that we did see on the markets situation in europe has also changed some watch the foot sea and the dax were declining more than two percent each now they're just a down by not sure for the dax down by just point two percent and that still despite more promises being made by major economies to put an end to the latest financial problems in europe. one of the closing figures for the russian markets the r.t.s. declined by the end of the day five point two percent my sixty four and a half percent as you heard from our correspondent overall weekly losses were the
11:27 am
