to the un security council according to reports the palestinian president mahmoud abbas has asked the president of the security council to process the application without any delay shortly before this bid was handed over in the request was officially made according to interfax news agency that israel foreign minister avigdor lieberman said that no negotiations will take place if the palestinians turn to the u.n. security council for recognition now we do know that the palestinian leader will be addressing the international community shortly he will be speaking on behalf of his aspirations and aspirations of the palestinians to get full u.n. membership we do know that the united states has promised to use its veto power within the security council to block this bid and french president nicolas sarkozy earlier this week did encourage the palestinians to possibly submit the bid to the

generals where the palestinians do have the majority of support but that would not give them full membership they would become a nonmember observer states u.s. president barack obama when he was addressing the general assembly said no statements or resolutions can bring an independent palestine to fruition that house to come for negotiations between the israelis and the palestinians the palestinians believe after nearly two decades of failed negotiations they are taking their own initiative and they do have the majority of support of the united nations but that veto that could be real proud of the u.s. could block it all from happening another veto wielding member of russia has said that the u.s. should not block the aspirations of the palestinians. or any other country as as well as president abbas addressing the general assembly israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu will be speaking probably half hour or hour after him we need to

know the israelis are very opposed to this move so clearly all of the diplomatic you know talks that were taking place along to avoid any kind of train wreck we don't know if that is how the situation at all but we do know it's playing out at this moment and of course we're following the story will keep our viewers updated as the story develops. really as what you know so far from new york because there's speed follows the eruption of clashes that one of the checkpoints on the palestinian israeli border that we witnessed today covering the story for your cameras the reporters there paula slayer she's at the scene of the rest. but tensions are running high here on the kalandia checkpoint between them and ramallah the police behind me are firing at the palestinian youths that have moved further down the road the situation here is really tense as a photographer just in front of me that's been carried away because he's been shot in the leg my eyes are blinking funny tear gas in the air and certainly this is not

the scenes that anybody wants to see in from around the world that you can see into 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 radionic will use this as an excuse to lock down the west bank and to increase their security presence there at the same time the palestinians will worry that these raids are 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 a written submission for statehood at the united nations the sea evening the palestinian president will argue the case that a decades of negotiations with the israelis have achieved nothing and so moving forward on a unilateral declaration of statehood is the only way to go policy r.t.

at the kalandia checkpoint between jerusalem and ramallah. all right that's what certainly were paula as they say look at these pictures now live pictures latest coming through to us of the our new center from ramallah where a palestinians are holding a rally ahead of the key speech to be given by mahmoud abbas any minute now and the general assembly as we've been mentioning from the top of the hour is already submitted that application for u.n. recognition of a palestinian state you can see how that news is being greeted a little bit later on tonight the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu is due to speak later as well to be interesting to hear what he's got to say about all this is expected of course to denounce the move now if you want to keep up to date with the latest pictures we're streaming it on our web site out there in front of the latest live transmissions from our cameras the latest from the west bank of the u.n. general assembly for you will of course continue our coverage two of palestine's bid for independence holding stay with us for updates marty's pool the sleazier on the palestinian israeli border as well as latest from the u.n.

general assembly in new york. take a look at some other news now clashes between pro and anti-government forces in yemen have an intensified with the death toll now from five days of violence reaching one hundred that's as the country's president returns to the capital three months after surviving an assassination attempt. to lay on the wet medical treatment in saudi arabia has called for a cease fire on his return he says dialogue is the only way to end the budget a country in front of chaos since february when protesters manning edsel is thirty three year old rule book to buy them from the european think tank of global action free it says it's unlikely that you haven't will see a repeat of either the libyan oil scenario or a syrian scenarios thanks to the countries and eyes in the arab world. but we've seen in the recent past some countries a lot of western countries of course but also some arabic countries who 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 the 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 said 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 the so it is have a word 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 united states but sea is also and contrary to which interests the saudi arabia is it that just in this context we can

see that with the ongoing serious situation in syria we've 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 once of build a pressure a further pressure on the syrian regime well if you're following the story you might want to know that yemen is also the subject of the latest edition of cross talk on this channel we got the full program coming your way a little bit later but here's a quick look at what you can expect. but there is a school in contrast libya and yemen yes we would like to see and not flies on but we don't want any aircraft to be actually in the hitting people or you know some spots in the ground simply wrong and it is. a 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 if it's one hundred first airborne or u.s. a.f.

or the arias or 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 to do the liberating and then the people get to run their country afterwards. more from people with whom little bit later on tonight an arche fears arising over a second wave of worldwide economic recession asian and european markets have ended their worst week since two thousand and eight and the u.s. is heading in the same direction let's talk about that about how close we may be than to a repeat of the financial crisis we saw in two thousand and eight and talk to james mead ways a senior economist at the economic they should joining us tonight from london james obviously on the program tonight thank you the markets of course depend so much on confidence so there yet it seems there's a growing chorus every day we read we hear about of doom and gloom i mean today the legendary investor george soros said the u.s. is already facing a double dip recession do you agree with that. i think he's almost certainly right

what you've got to factor in is that this is an economy in the euro it's barely recovered from from the last financial crisis to. the highest really since the second world war it's been a very very weak recovery if it's been a recovery at all so anything that now happens is already taking very very straight and stances we've got to some problems come through studio tonight that's pretty good so we're trying to interview anyway james so to speak completely finance ministers from the world's leading economies agreed that they will do whatever. it's necessary to calm the markets not that statement appears there are little effect though looking at what's going on today is it at all possible at this stage to store a burst of trust. investors aren't stupid or market traders aren't stupid. fine words from various world leaders doesn't really add up to any kind of concrete plan of action for how we're going to get out of this next having said i think rapidly moving beyond the point where restoring confidence in markets is a plausible pain i think we're into is

a period of really we're looking at kind of financial pressure to climb down and try to prevent panic spreading prevent contagion spreading. countries that can do this successfully can insulate themselves from. financial crisis. of the second the second bailout for greece is going to be awful troubled by the by the middle of next month but this other portion has been delayed now the german finance minister said it might need to be revised do you think he could leave greece without help at this point. when what's happening go with the bailouts i think is a process of the attempting really for the last year since since the first let's not. trying to delay the inevitable greece will have to default at some point its debt is unpayable so if the e.u. is gradually coming to realize it's you know maybe it is a coin. is being lent very surprised if there's any real patients undergo over greater and greater sums of money for something. different the reason really any

way around this one is really left. it is is how the i attempt to manage the process as we go forward judge that lawyer in the sun before it hasn't improved for a while will question hopefully will stay with us ok let's look at the rest of the world the knock on effect there the asian economies long been considered a safe haven a big global on the day asian markets finished their worst week since two thousand and eight how worried should they be and should we be about them. i think we should all be very can. and about this if you take the previous recession in the financial crisis in two thousand it was the asian markets although they took a hit and actually motored on through the thing with really not the kind of damage there we saw across the rest of the world if the early indicators and there are some good places like china are starting to creep towards recession then then we're staring across the precipice here we really are starting to hear into the abyss if the asian markets go down or really is something like a similar to his global

recession that we could be in the early stages of or i.j. would be great senior economist in the new economic foundation thanks ever so much for the sort of the technical things. ok well that was the. economist at the new economics foundation if you want to find out all we've got more on the current financial turmoil and its impact on the russian markets are business bulletins coming up here very shortly all the latest in the business first with dmitri. the r.t.s. over the week lost sixteen and a half percent more than twelve percent so this is the worst week since november two thousand they will have more details on that in around that time. ok bring in live event now. i believe we're going to go to the u.n. we had earlier on. the palace and if. there is we can now see him and he went to straight to the u.n. with a request a letter for direct access to these latest pictures coming from now he's now addressing the u.n.

members there is telling him why he thinks this should happen he's putting his best case forward of course a little bit later on tonight will be hearing the counterview about all of that the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu is to speak soon afterwards he's expected of course to denounce the move and i was also we've been reporting the u.s. is going to want to oppose this as well it says a palestinian state could only be a tree through talks with israel so it's live news event going on that's the big story tonight we'll bring you the latest pictures as we get them palestinian leader there. just to recap now talking to the u.n. general assembly they're going to go when think about it he submitted his bid asking for recognition of a palestinian state of course israel saying tonight now after what he's done will be no more negotiation no more room for talks to be very very interesting to see where this one plays out over the coming days been over the coming weeks because we're not expected although president of past has asked for this to go through quickly to be decided quickly that was his request

a blank you move the general consensus is it's going to take a week at a number of weeks before this really gets hammered one way or the other. it's the youngest members of the european union romania and bulgaria have been denied entry to the border free schengen zone e.u. interior ministers failed to vote on the issue because of harsh opposition from the netherlands and finland disputes already turning bitter with romania blocking the import of dutch flowers in a move describes old school blackmail by the netherlands now it is laura looks into why the e.u. is now reconsidering its core principle of borderless travel. the schengen 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 into through the gates of the 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 of course organisation in europe has to protect itself and this is more important than people from little garia 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 that threaten to 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. to. protect their borders against the influx from from illegal immigrants think off from you know will be area maybe even greece and it's not unreasonable to. put horror. to these countries if 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 saying and they cite corruption and 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 the green has. rays of criminal activity perhaps nationally 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 bulk area andrew mainly are recognized to have improved border controls second members also want them to work on crime prevention inside their own borders 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. one specifically worries about remaining spoke area trying to join the european passport free zone but if the widening of the equipment as a whole instance it means trusting the. us to make their borders your poor and many wonder if this is why is especially it's a time when rest in arab countries means thousands of. middle eastern refugees have already found their way to europe you were at this artsy brussels. we're very good

to hear what you think about the future of a passport free show surprised by what's happening dot com you can cast your vote there let us know what you think about it let's take a look at how opinion is being divided so far this is playing out on the grass almost half of their forty seven percent convinced the very idea of a free travels over will die along with the notion of united europe little more than a quarter of you tonight think of the border will grow which you will continue to integrate sixteen percent of you believe in god an open within the e.u. is a threat to security and must therefore be abolished was never taken it just bit less than ten percent so a new country should not be admitted to the show until the european economy recovers that's obviously what of course is news you think of world without rule there is no what you think r.t. dot com. the u.s. is deploying new drone bases in east africa to intensify attacks on al qaeda operatives but while the policy in saving american lives it's already resulted in thousands of civilian deaths in pakistan are things going to change you can report

. 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 hunter killers as they call them in the military a similar installation has opened in the seychelles a new base is under construction. to look 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 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 where whether or not the thought of these 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 do find it outrages that with a gigantic get problems 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. functions you can vote for top story. of

bias addresses the u.n. general assembly is doing. clashes are also continuing on the palestinian israeli border of his policy has more from one of those checkpoints clashes have erupted across the west bank as fears grow of a third intifada we're here in ramallah where there's a standoff between these waiting army and palestinian protesters just a short distance down the road now for al was the protesters have been throwing stones at the soldiers they've been responding with tear gas they are tie is burning everywhere the army is also using a new found device known as the screamer which even an bearable sound now be in here is very very tense i've been hit several times by stones and rocks and youngsters are going on the ceiling it's not quite clear how the situation is going to unfold but to me this is my life that is not being felt only here in ramallah the clashes have spread across the west bank one palestinian has been killed in a village not far from the west bank city of nablus now what we understand happened is that country one hundred israeli think it started burning the trees belonging to

palestinians in the village they in turn started throwing stones the army was called in and the result was one palestinian shot and killed in the nick in a incident in heath's hebron a youngster of fourteen years old a palestinian youngster was seriously injured when he was driven over by any vehicle within his radio numberplate and that is according to eyewitnesses although these weighty arnica nice that now both these weighty and palestinian security are on high alert out the way thank these are exactly the scenes they were very afraid of happening and they are expectations now that the violence will only disband and eventually hold the risk of spiraling out of control police here r t. well from paula later singles live pictures on your screen there the u.n. general assembly president. addressing your sober giving his case for palestine they will be bringing you more a matter of course wrote the evening alone as well as state or kong. exports going

up a bit later this hour it has good news of one with the way in his first cut for russia in the next year oh twenty twelve qualifies and they look out for but a busy business day as we've been reporting the news is not good let's get straight answer it being this here. that's right kevin russia's markets did see a second consecutive session of the steep losses on friday heightened fears of a new global recession and waiting on the oil price and this was weighing on domestic acreage it's not correspond to get a good enough wrapped up today. it's been another dismal day at the for the russian markets there is no question about this today the my sex has declined by four point five percent by five point two zero but that's not just today it's of course the trend for the entire week over the whole week the audience lost a stunning sixteen percent under my 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 and eight two thousand and nine everybody has been saying that because of this inside russia that this is a response to the latest policy suggestions which have been produced in the u.s. by ben bernanke you by the federal reserve open but at the same time russia has been affected worse than the other markets did follow the trends in europe but that has seemed particularly vulnerable over the next few weeks we'll see whether this is a blip and a correction is soon to follow or what the this is the predictor of a deeper crisis. so you look at the markets now first with commodities. is was recovering some of its losses at the beginning of the session after slumping to six week lows in the previous session but it's down again light sweet declining fifty seven cents brant at exactly one hundred five dollars per barrel. stocks in the u.s. have recovered slightly after a very steep losses but investors are still on alert for indications that

policymakers would take additional steps to bolster the global economy that germs are just not almost two percent there. and this is the closing picture for europe the situation as changed after this positive trade in the united states the first c. is up half a percent of the close of jack's point six percent that says both indices with losing more than two for the session. and now the closing picture for the russian markets and it was a second day of very steep losses the r.t.s. news in flight. point two percent my sixty four and a half percent overall losses were much harder of course my six losing twelve percent the artist sixteen percent over the week if we look at the main movers on friday's session then we'll majors were some of the biggest losers will snap them lukoil declining five and three point six percent respectively as her bank the most liquid stock on the russian market declining another five percent after dropping

ten percent on for. my business r.t. will be back around fifteen minutes time with plenty more. and. the. very first verses of the bible that all human beings are created but sentimental

came in god's image and it doesn't say just jews or not just. sixty to seventy percent of what i did as a combat soldier in the occupied territories was it with the turds doing what we call making our presence felt we go out should some bozo they hear a knock on some doors run to the other corner invade another house religion and nationalism not just judaism have been a part of the problem they've been part of what leads to. bloodshed if you want to bomb guys out and kill i thousand four hundred people in a month and you want to expect that this will have no effect and to feed you have to be either extremely naive or it's to me stupid community not to hear a few religious jew calling another joe a not not the way they really needed money or anything.
