top job in the tree again spreads into minute granite and prime minister putin could swap jobs over the twenty twelve presidential election pledging their time there will continue to work for russia. the palestinian bid for statehood is launched with the united nations welcomed with standing ovations at the general assembly new york but violent clash of israeli forces at the border in the west bank. also finished listen pasties suspended from his ministry other he speaks out against a website he says is a mouthpiece for russia's most wanted terrorist. allies concerned about a possible greek default deepens again as leaked reports suggest that some euro

zone planners ministers no longer believe the country's economy can recover. and welcome to aussies weekly review and we start with the biggest news in russia's political spectrum president medvedev has revealed he won't seek re-election in twenty two out and prime minister christian will step into the race instead and oust his decision while speaking at the ruling united russia party convention on saturday mr putin on his part has suggested the president leads his party in parliamentary elections and has the government as prime minister should it when all he is a nice an hour was there was a big event likely to have forced the shape of russia's politics for years to come . the wait is over but i believe it would be right for the convention to support the candidacy of lightning or pretty soon

a new presidential election was. this applause means i don't have to explain what kind of experience under thirty minutes in has. issue in your schedule i'm going to say something else would disappoint for there's been a split within our town and i can see this is a well thought through decision. putin is running for president was good. i like to express my gratitude to you for supporting my candidacy to run for president it's a great honor of the ages. if you're. going about it and with the parliamentary elections coming in december i'd like to ask all russian citizens to support the united russia party with me. now that was.

not the issue here you. know you may be just what i'm convinced to become prime minister continue to thoroughly modernize our society. that's and i'm now running on a platform of taking russia through the next decade promising more growth and stability but their party united russia in december parliamentary elections and next year's presidential run both putin and medvedev have their work cut out united russia's popularity has been falling in recent years by making such a move they do. as you say they send a political message to the russians as well to the best of the wealth that it. is not outdated it is not absolute this is a raw. construction which can work for years you see it you describe effective and so was the announcement even me. really taken aback when

you know we only confirm of course everybody expected it but it must count as one of the best kept secrets really in recent political history the west has already started emphasizing how much lack surprise i'm sure that some of the opposition political commentators i mentioned to you throughout the day is of course the risk of political stagnation and also all these kinds remembers very well the euro of the seventy's in the eighty's especially when the communist party leadership didn't really change there and they all stayed there until the weight of five years old now i would rather disagree with those who predict stagnation even in russian politics for one simple fact. and this is healthy. meaning a so-called western style democracy might not be the way for russia something we are seeing the u.s. especially push for across one of the world's most unstable regions i think it's

really disgusting how the u.s. is use the arab spring to try to use it to put in their new dictators their new friends and their fictitious democracies to be able to control the oil and control these populations. countries like russia just want stability and stability is something russia knows this dynamic duo can deliver at least so far russian g.d.p. has almost doubled the level of life in russia alone russia not only the capitals has improved but we want to take it to the next step with a resettling united russia already under way new faces transparency less corruption and more growth are all part of a platform the intrigue is dead and now the real work begins united russia has to convince the country they are the party. to move past stability towards further development and so the russia has a right to its own style democracy and he's now artsy moscow. recount

a young political analysts said the voice of russia radio station in washington says it is a big hit that russia needs to lead it through the economic uncertainty now gripping. what about putin will have his hands full once you get assumes the office of the presidency simply because he's got to start creating jobs just like other presidents or other prime ministers have to do across the globe when you start a start the russian economic engine. going again reset the economy there i don't think he needs a change of style this point she has been very consistent as showing himself as a very strong decisive leader and he certainly has turned out the same with his protege obviously a person of good years and this is the kind of political intelligence this is the kind of smarts that i think people respect whether they're in russia or the u.s. be shown to be very decisive very strong and has a vision for russia and i think that whether it's the u.s. or russia or any other country when you have a leader who has a vision and a strength that people can see that's that's the individual they want to office.

and then answer your call where asking what you think will happen in its present will develop and prime minister putin to switch jobs so it's all the stuff that you believe be reshuffled tons of will be a success because it enjoys why popular support you say twenty nine percent think they saw the anger of voters and strengthen the opposition and the remaining korto feel the change will have little or no perhaps at all so go on to our web site as you go home to tell us what if there. were no in our a moment in history this week at the united nations as president mahmoud abbas delivered the palestinian bid for statehood receiving a standing ovation addressing the general assembly thousands of cheering people gathered in ramallah to give him a hero's welcome home as to return from new york addressing the rally compared his campaign to the arab spring saying that independent palestinian state is inevitable and his speech to the u.n. general assembly on friday was greeted with jubilant scenes across the palestinian

territories but on the border with israel instead of joy there was violence policy has to stop. and historic movements after decades of struggle tens of thousands celebrated past palestine after president mahmoud abbas submitted the quest to the united nations to recognize a palestinian state but as feared it wasn't all true is alongside the celebrations violence clashes have erupted across the west bank because he is grow up a third intifada we are here in ramallah where there is a standoff between the israeli army and palestinian protesters just a short distance down the road there are tires burning everywhere the army is also using a new round of high tone at the screen which in my unbearable sound now beat the two asian hair is very very tame be great across the west bank one kind of thing and has been killed how lucky and it can happen if that country one hundred israelis take it started burning the trees along to palestinians in the village the

army was courted and the result was one palestinian shot and killed in the nick. months the israeli army has been preparing for these exact scenes and palestinians what we tell of it will not use these clashes as an excuse to beef up its army presence in the west bank and possibly even punish palestinians by withholding tax money it collects on their behalf for weeks the army has been counting land mines on israel's northern borders to prevent the columbia checkpoint scenes from unfolding here the mines are not necessarily there to deal with people who have peaceful intentions but mines are a legitimate form of the fence many countries have mines on their borders for that reason but locals are outraged now they are going through with mines. at the heart of the clashes are israeli citizens and palestinians both main claim to the same piece of land jacob taylor has been farming deep in the hebron 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 they have got a document a document that. in their measure it advertised. the bible but not so large and makes the same claim he insists the land has been in his family for some eight hundred years but now this is the closest you can get to it and it's eating him up watching jacob farm it it's a very hard feeling what can i do nothing in the resistance forces and after the services with the army will come immediately and arrest us this fence cuts through your calls farm meaning that why for now i am standing inside palestine and as i walk through here. i'm now in israel it's one thing to declare a state and another to determine where its borders will be policy r.t.

ramallah. and procrustean after it's no order told r.t. that despite the likelihood be us will veto the statehood bid at the security council but it's ten years to regard pursuing it at the u.n. as a major breakthrough. as palestinians we have a very heightened sense of national pride at this moment that even though we know the veto is most likely coming very next week or the other really makes no difference but there is a very high sense of national achievement at this point because for oneself through those very disappointing years of the so-called peace process the political leadership and the popular popular public opinion are in line they're in an on one side of the political debate if you will going back to negotiations is not something palestinians oppose on principle but if we go back to negotiations with our occupiers and that's what israel is without any terms of reference without

israel's leader early committing to international law clearly committing to its obligations according to international law and relevant u.n. resolutions then it's purely pointless. palestinian officials have accused the u.s. of pushing pressure on members of the u.n. security council to prevent them from voting for an independent state focused on that washington is keen to be the embarrassment of having to veto that which should be disastrous for its credibility as a middle east peace maker. knew. it was a weeklong gathering of the world's most polluted powerful people part of the united nations. the pursuit of peace in the imperfect world america's nobel prize winning president said in an ideal tone as the sixty sixth session of the un general assembly opened yet at the heart of almost all diplomatic dialogue. ministrations and media attention was that palestinian pursuit of official u.n.
