paul asli is live for us at one of the search for interesting the this afternoon addressing and seeing what's happening men of color what is the situation on the borders as the u.n. showdown unfolds. well the situation here on the israeli palestinian border is as tense as ever as you can see night has fallen that we've seen and no letup in the violence that has been going on since the early hours of today and i was dangerously a game of cat and mouse has evolved what does means is that these weighty soldiers who are here position where i am forward the palestinian protesters then retreat into ramallah they throw stones at israeli soldiers then the tree to the position where they are at at the moment and this has been ongoing consistently now the israeli soldiers have been using tear gas there have been tires that have been burnt there are because of the date and also trying out a new round of ice known as the screen and the theme of the letting found throughout the course of the day there have been numerous ambulances picking up injured people i was standing just a short distance from

a soldier who was wounded quite severely and they hit by a stone and it hit but incident i was standing next to photographer who was badly injured by stones that were thrown into his leg and i too had a few stones thrown at me and i continue but they are very small when they hit you now that's exactly the scene there both israelis and palestinians were trying to avoid israeli army and the palestinian authority have been working closely together to try and prevent such clashes from happening but not only are they happening here in ramallah they've been happening across the way to a bank in the city of nablus in a village nearby an elderly man was shot did when a group of stitches some two hundred fifty is we're being told started approaching and causing problems among the palestinians living there the palestinians responded by throwing stones the army was called in and the result was that one palestinian was shot and killed in his nick now in a fifth but incident in east hebron a fourteen year old boy was killed according to eye. witnesses when an israeli

number plate a car drove over him the army had denied there's now all of this happening as the taliban and president mahmoud abbas makes that historic upgrade to the united nations so that when you are mullah thirty there are tens of thousands of people who have taken to the street they have been watching adequate live on big screens they are cheering they are very jubilant but indeed those scenes are a far cry from what we are witnessing here on the border and certainly tensions are high and concern is growing with some people saying that a third into thought it could very well be on the cards or oddities of policy a lot of those checkpoints there on the palestinian israeli border thank you. well the speech of the palestinian leader mahmoud abbas to the u.n. has been received with a standing ovation he just finished in fact of his report i listened she joins us now with some comment on that from new york hi there i mean emotional scenes witnessed of the u.s. how was the speech received. well kevin it was emotional as you say you said he

received a standing ovation at the end in the beginning he received applause and a standing ovation for it that lasted about a minute the entire general assembly hall was clapping as the palestinian president mahmoud abbas walked in it is reported that the israeli foreign minister avigdor lieberman walked out when the palestinian president walked in in what was about a forty minute speech he talked about the fact that the arab spring reaffirmed the quest for democracy among the arab world and the time has now come for the poly palestinian spring for independence for palestine he said that he had a mission we submitted an application for the admission of palestine on the basis of the june fourth one thousand nine hundred sixty seven borders as a full member of the united nations he held a copy of that application in his hand and was waving it excuse me and that's why he received a standing ovation he says that this application process is bringing the kids to

the international protocol at that confirms the palestinian reliance on the political and diplomatic options that are available he said the time is calling for the world to our clearly that policy by me several concessions was compromised over the course of eighteen years and now three of those sheets and negotiations continue breaking down he's relying on the international community to excuse me it made palestine as a full member to the united nations he said that he wants his application to be processed as quickly as possible within the security council hold upon all security council members to support this application and of course we know the united states has said that if it has to will use its veto to block this bid on that policy and is moving forward. at least of the general assembly are supporting

palestine in this application process and application for un membership and statehood but that doesn't matter because if one veto wielding member of the security council uses that veto itself the process we should mention to you within the next hour of israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu will be addressing the general assembly and we can expect to hear clearly remarks concerning the palestinian bid for statehood membership and they do help very much across this so it is not important but the latest live from new york thank you very much ok well to discuss this story further snow talks to talk college studies and professor of philosophy joining us from tel aviv university tonight thanks very much for being on our teams and i felt the israeli foreign minister walked out of that session as soon as mark would have passed out of the speech i guess that's a small taste of things to probably you know. well the government is obviously very unhappy about this thing a bit of

a struggle to do everything to prevent it's. in terms of you know lieberman's behavior that's. unfortunately go. through and i have for years i think in terms of the speech it's. certainly worried a lot of israelis. connecting the final status agreement also with the settlement of the refugee issue because you see in israel you actually have a rather large liberality of citizens who believe that the state solution is the right way to go worry about those of israelis that is. the two state solution as we often say here is only being the two state solution in other words that the. the recognition. of

a palestinian state within the nine hundred sixty seven borders is not the fault of the conflict will not give israel the security of the peace that if it's going to be expecting from israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu will take heed although a lot of passes had to say i mean will israel be considerate settlement policy. look. as i have written the number of times i'm afraid is not really a believer in the term state solution he has written many many times in the ninety's that he believes that the contiguous palestinian state along the nine hundred sixty seven borders is acceptable security risk for israel as you may certainly know this is not the position of old israelis primarily i should mention . who is the head of israel's largest party. will be israel's

opposition and who was actually very deeply involved in negotiations with. us until early two thousand and nine when the olmert government was replaced so there are actually many israelis from do believe that the two state solution is the right way to go and that's on the i don't expect much except you know as usual affirmation to the palestinians are the refuseniks of peace and he will talk about the jewish connection to israel for the last four thousand years in this respect i think both should forget that part of. the speech was also here it's two words its own constituency obviously emphasizing the sacrifice that the thing in its have made by accepting a state that only comprises one or two percent of historical palestine in terms of

the speeches don't end the we're not surprised about this i don't expect any. talks there's the politics goes round in circles yet again we've already seen violence again today flaring up one has been killed in clashes we hear that a boy may have been one of really all these events took place in full pilot palestine submitted its need for recognition whichever way it goes are we going to see even more bloodshed. look i think the palestinian authority of the palestinian security forces are firmly intends to try to prevent an escalation of violence and i know for sure that the israeli army has been instructed to do everything to avoid casualties to the extent possible and i also think that most palestinians do not want this to spill

over into bloodshed i don't think that most of the palestinians want a third intifada the big problem as usual in the middle east and in the israel palestine problem is that the extremists often. lead the way and as you reported before some of the violence was instigated by settlers and i suppose that also on the palestinian side there are those who actually don't want this to end peacefully i bury my contradict you know nobody can predict which way it's going to go i can only hope that the firm intention on both sides to keep this peaceful when they get sixty three figure just talk about the way the u.s. is handling this it's a cause of the palestinian bid barack obama said that peace will not come through statements and resolutions at the u.n. but i know when it comes to libya the u.s. and nato using exactly those resolutions when they try to enforce based double standards is neat. well i think

comparing libya to the sort of the thing conflict is a case of the. roads misrepresentation. you see i have a lot of sympathy for the palestinian cause and i've been a proponent of the two state solution for years and years very actively what the what about forgot to say is that we're reading brought this the peace process through to its end was the second intifada in the in the year two thousand it's it's not israelis were much more willing to take risks strictly it's from ninety three to two thousand and the problem is that most israelis feel truly traumatized by the second. i can tell you with all. my very clear stands for the two state solution i lived here during the second intifada it was incredibly traumatic. i

don't think that it's either fair or realistic or accurate to put the whole office . of the stalled peace process on his road this being said i think but that the government it's very unproductive and it's certainly not helping any but i think we should still keep the comparisons a little bit more precise than a little bit more correct because otherwise the discussion if your rates are you you know for old pro israel all the time or just bashing israel which i was never really good to take you inside the progress of most interesting dr carlos strong a professor of philosophy television university thanks ever so much. the palestinian m.p. dr mustafa barghouti told us about saying that years of fruitless peace talks have always stated expansion of israeli settlements on all key pide land and said it was time for a different approach. we cannot stay within that and sort of use this negotiations for whatever twenty years have been lost without any progress because of israeli

policy and because of israel's opposite action for peace even president obama himself a year ago in the same united nations said that by two thousand and eleven. times will 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 negotiations what happened in israel was an accident put it that is just a piece by piece by the end there would be nothing left to negotiate about israel has created a situation like two sides are negotiating over a piece of cheese one side the palestinians are just talking and there is going to decide is eating the piece of truth then do the as i said nothing would be left or clear we are going to be on and creating a new dynamic and you put a guy in because we want to build a world that we cannot accept to steer to steer clear of the for completion of an apartheid system and that we will not accept frontal strands and get out of as

a substitute really and stick it in reality this is not a fight about the good condition of the state or not it's about whether we have a real sovereign state that can be viable contiguous and part of world peace or do we would be. kept in prison like this. and that israeli here's your money and control. talk to mr for a boost because pretty early on i will of course that provide you more coverage of palestine's bid for independence stay with us for update smarties paula sleep on the palestinian israeli border throughout the evening as well as the latest from the u.n. general assembly in new york where of course from mr netanyahu is due to speak a little bit later on we'll bring you the latest on all the developments of course analysis as well also online and r.t. dot com. in other news today clashes between pro and anti-government forces in yemen have intensified with the death toll from five days of violence now reaching one hundred bucks as the country's president returns to the capital three months

after surviving an assassination attempt against the. medical treatment in saudi arabia is called now for a ceasefire after his return he says dialogue is the way to end the bloodshed the country's been plunged into chaos since february when protesters landing an end to sell is thirty three year rule erupted talked about it mikhail is from the european think tank for global action free day he says it's unlikely given we'll see a repeat of either the syrian all libyan scenarios thanks to countries our allies in the arab world right now. but we've seen in the recent past some countries 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 that when for example which is also submitted to. 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 is that with these had they were to say i mean they were taken into consideration so considering that so do doesn't want anybody to intervene in the yemeni internal affairs considering also that rain is an important ally to the united states but see is also and contrary to which interests the saudi arabia is at that stage in this context we can see that with the ongoing serious situation in syria we've also the violence is that are going on in syria it seems that some countries i would include the united states because of france and the u.k. and so on want to build

a pressure further pressure on the syrian regime and if you've been following this story closely know that yemen is also the subject of late edition across tall on this channel in a couple of hours time the full program coming your way shortly is a quick taster. let me just come in contrast libya and yemen yes i would like to see and not flows on but we don't want any aircraft to be actually in the hitting people or heating up you know some sports in the ground but simply wrong that it was. 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 if 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 if the yemenis themselves like the egyptians like the tunisians whatever the political differences amongst them they're the people who get them to the liberating and they're the people who get to run their country afterwards.

there's a rising of a second wave of worldwide economic recession the asian and european markets have ended their worst week since two thousand and eight and the u.s. is heading the same direction our financial kaiser host the show the kaiser report says the banks are the globe for the current financial turmoil. it's not a recession in the classic sense of labor and products and manufacturing that's not the case that our this is a balance sheet recession in other words that 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 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 there needs to be a global concerted effort to balance everyone's books to write off all the bad debt that will never be paid to recalibrate currencies and to restart the global economy

because there's no political will for that however because the bankers would lose and the bankers control the agenda of the politicians the point is that without banking reform without locking up the corrupt bankers there will be no forward progress and there's an enormous debt berdmore continue to cause wide scale poverty and economic chaos throughout the world 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 are these local countries death it's a huge debt ponzi scheme with a huge debt pyramid scheme nobody has the equity to cover the debt. he's a man who's totally in the know he's a former trader of so much cause of the latest thoughts from him and somebody else of the know will have more on the current financial turmoil also is in part from the russian markets from dmitri medvedev will be here with a late edition of business desk in about five six minutes time for you. the all

tears over the week last sixteen and a half percent to my six more than twelve percent so this is the worst week since november two thousand they will have more details on that and around the time. we certainly will now the u.s. is deploying new drone graces in east africa to intensify attacks on al qaeda operatives for while the policy saving american lives it's already resulted in fact thousands of civilian deaths in pakistan art is going to teach you can't because of the story. 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 a fleet of hunting 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 is u.s. officials say is being done to parget feel it 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 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 care at the same time and the question where whether or not pathologies 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 is 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 debt problem sluggish economy and with three wars at hand american officials still lavish money on military projects which some experts say may well backfire at their own security. what is going to count or exciting or top stories is going to draw should we were general assembly clashes would be continuing. on the palestinian israeli border at his paulus lee a sense of fresh report from one of those checkpoints but the mood here is showing no signs of letting up it's nightfall but still the change and are running high now the israeli soldiers have been surging forward and backwards almost a game of cat and mouse with elevations that are taking place alongside the palestinian president mahmoud abbas is addressing the united nations are much further down inside melissa he we have no way of getting there at the moment i can tell you that the mood is incredibly kinsley's the call radek firing constantly

there are stones coming out are action protesters down the road and the front line is eighty keep shipping forwards backwards forwards backwards you get a sense of the soldiers actually don't know what to do and they huddle together they talk in a surge forward and then they come backwards this really is the worst case annoyer neither the israelis nor the palestinians want to see does happen and this kind of violence and holding on the middle east the landscape and it's not happening only here in ramallah we are hearing about clashes across the west bank so certainly the stage is being stated as something a good into farda policy r.t. in ramallah. where we really are more coverage on this developing news story throughout the night course the other big story i was about remark it's been a very volatile week completely closed the trees got the latest for a career for. things

russia's markets saw a second consecutive session of steep losses on friday. of a new global recession raising the oil price and that's weighing on domestic equities. on the. 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 yes 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 to already has 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 the bears are not inside russia this is a response to the latest policy suggestions which have been produced in the us by ben bernanke about a federal reserve fund but at the same time russia has been affected worse than the other markets it 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 i'm a correction or seem to follow or whether this is the predictor of a deeper crisis prosecutor and what's happening on the markets right now we start with commodities and well as the somewhat recovery losses we have seen throughout this session they actually started off with gains after a six week low was reached on thursday but right now light sweet is dropping seventy eight cents brant more than one dollar and of course up a barrel. in the united states since looking much rosier than it looked to on the first day of course over the dow jones is correcting point two percent still has that point six percent not much of a movement what's nice a good sign that this huge downfall has stuff that we've seen on first day. because the picture here in europe after positive opening in the united states would see is as close half a percent in positive territory the next point six percent european officials

pledged to increase the place felicity of the region's play luvin and to maximize its impact and prevent contagion. and here's the closing picture for russia. well the r.t.s. lost more than five percent of my six four and the overall as well course but to mention the obvious a decline sixteen percent for out the week of my sex twelve percent look at the main movers of friday's trade oil majors were some of the biggest losers with rosneft down almost five percent lukewarm three and a half and the most liquid blue chips burbank was down another five percent off dropping almost one first day. this is our team will be back in fifteen minutes when the.

world. bringing you the latest in science and technology from the ground floor. we've got the future of coverage of. the.
