the splined in touch with the chilly touch your feet to the jury go i would international good to cheese every green no a chill in total. company tree gads president regrettably prime minister present good small jobs up to the time i did well presidential election pledging that that will continue to work for russia. also the existing and bid for statehood is no good he added nations welcomed with the founding of a friend said the journey was somebody killed by the clashes with israeli forces at the border in the west bank. finnish lutheran states expanded his ministry of. sound but the fact is i'm not sure that most. i'm concerned about possible green equals again the need to suggest that the

eurozone was made it has no known history you. know welcome to overseas weekly review and we start off with the biggest news on russia's political spectrum presence meant that it has revealed he won't seek re-election and trying to trial that prime minister putin will step into the race instead an announced his decision while speaking out the ruling united russia party convention on such day mr bush on his part has suggested the president believes his party parliamentary elections and has the government as prime minister should have granted all she's an isa now was of the band likely to have forged the shape of russia's politics for years to come. the wait is over. i believe it would be right for the convention to support the candidate she would like to hear putin increasing election.

this applause means i don't have to explain what kind of experience under thirty and as. usual yes that's all i'm going to say something else because there's been a split within our times and i can see that this is a well thought through decision. putin is running for president. i'd like to express my gratitude to you for supporting my candidacy to run for president it's a great honor to meet you. if you are but it's a minimalist and with the parliamentary elections coming in december i'd like to ask all russian citizens to support the united russia party with dmitri.

and i need you. i'm convinced to become prime minister and we continue to thoroughly modernize our society. the tandem now running on a platform of taking russia through the next decade promising more growth and stability with their party united russia in december parliamentary elections and next year's presidential run both putin and medvedev how their work cut out united russia's popularity has been falling in recent years by making such a move. as you say they've sent a political message to the russians as a role to the best of the world that it. is not our beat it is not absolute this is a way of all construction which can work for years you see it is quite effective and so was the announcement and even the delegates really taken aback

when you know. of course everybody expected it but it must count as one of the best kept secrets really in recent political history the west has all. bready started emphasizing how much the move lacked surprise i'm sure that some of the opposition political commentators have mentioned so you say he's of course the risk of political stagnation and also all these country members very well the era of the seventy's in the eighty's especially one 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 in russian politics for one simple fact. and this is the healthiest year 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 all 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 laws from russia alone russia not only capitals has improved but putin and medvedev want to take it to the next step with the reshuffle in united russia already under way new faces transparency less corruption and more growth are all part of a platform for 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 west russia has a right to its own style democracy and he's now artsy moscow. and

recounted all young political analysts for the voice of russia radio station in washington says putin is a figure that russia needs to lead it through the comic uncertainty. hands full on so you assume is the office of the presidency simply because he's got to start creating jobs just like other presidents other prime ministers have to do across the globe he's got a start the russian economic engine. going again restarted the economy there i don't think he needs to change it so at this point he has been very consistent showing himself as a very strong decisive leader and he certainly has done the same with his protege obviously you know personally but you know me and this is the kind of political intelligence this is the kind of smarts but i think people respect whether the rim 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 that you have a leader who has a vision and a strength that people can see that's the that's the individual they want in office

and that's also your call where asking what you think will happen to president medvedev and prime minister putin jobs so it's all of this probably believe the shuffle was turned over will be a success because it is joyce white popular support she's twenty nine percent saying the swap would anger voters and trends in the opposition and the remaining forces will that change will will have released all the facts are told local targets are to go home and this must be. a moment in history this week at the united nations that president mahmoud abbas believe that 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 the return from new york addressing the bradley campaign to the arab spring that independent palestinian state is inevitable his speech to the u.n. general assembly friday was greeted with jubilant scenes across the palestinian territories but on the border with israel instead of joy there was violence policy

on the street. and historic moment after decades of struggle tens of thousands celebrate across palestine after president mahmoud abbas admits a request to the united nations to recognize a palestinian state that has feared it wasn't all cheers and on side disintegrations violence clashes have erupted across the west bank as fears grow up a third intifada we are here in ramallah where there is a candle 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 heights known as the screen which in mecca and variable sound now the actuation here is very very tame the clashes have spread across the west bank one palestinian has been killed now what we understand happened is that country one hundred israeli take it started burning the trees belonging to palestinians in the village the army was called in 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 a will now use these clashes as an excuse to beef up its only 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 planting 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 saints. have mines on their borders for that reason but locals are outraged now that out of going to work mines. maybe it's not going for for the very. thing that at the heart of the clashes are as we insist and palestinians both main claim to the same piece of land jacob taylor has been farming deep in the head one 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 got a group a document a document that. in commercial go. go go go but not so much 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 he can get to it and it's eating him up watching jacob farm it is a very hard feeling but what can i do nothing or even if a dog resist with force it's an opposite. the army will come immediately and restless this fence cuts through your course farm meaning that right 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 for political activists no order told r.t.

that despite the likelihood the u.s. will veto the statehood bid at the security council but it's seen it still regard pursuing its at the u.n. as a major breakthrough. as palestinians we have a very high concerns of national pride at this moment 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 once after those very disappointing years of the so-called peace process the political leadership and the popular public opinion are in line very new and 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 clearly committing to international law clearly committing to its obligations

according to international law and relevant un resolutions then it's purely pointless. liftin officials have accused the u.s. of pushing pressure on members of the un security council to prevent them from voting for an independent state for public time that washington is going to be spared embarrassment of having to veto the bit which should be disastrous for its credibility as a middle east peace maker. as well. it was a weeklong gathering of the world's most politically powerful people sort 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 u.n. general assembly open yet at the heart of almost all diplomatic dialogue. demonstrations and media attention was the palestinian pursuit of official u.n. membership. at

a time when the arab peoples affirm their quest for democracy in the arab spring which aim is now for the palestinians the time for independence. supported by the majority of u.n. member states president mahmoud abbas submitted an application for statehood historical bit the us a staunch ally of israel how to block with a security council veto these will not come through statements and resolutions at the united nations if it were that easy it would have been accomplished but up as diplomats worked around the clock to bring israel and the palestinians back together at the negotiating table. delegations for thirty countries abandon the iranian president during his speech to the general assembly. if some european countries still use the whole of constant after sixty caves as the excuse to pay a fine a ransom to the zionists should it not be an obligation upon the slave masters or colonial powers to pay reparations to be affected nations mahmoud ahmadinejad's

annual attack against the west and israel was a reminder that peace is hard but we know that it is possible the possibility for the palestinians and israelis to resume negotiations was put forth by the middle east quartet friday russia the us the european union and the un presented both sides with a twelve month timetable to solve this sixty plus years dispute within three months of the negotiation beginning to present comprehensive opposes on borders and security that is the only way in the end we do. with the difficult issues around the table in the negotiation at the u.n. general assembly was this week's biggest political shock a spectacular display of pride for the palestinians quote theater of the absurd for the israeli prime minister the security council needs monday to discuss the palestinian bid for you when membership as the quest for peace goes on divisions

over how to achieve it remain firmly in place bring up or not r.t. new york this is not syria and coming up next who will be the first charges a times against humanity and battled colonel gadhafi or president sarkozy faces possible legal action over the military intervention in libya. and a booming drug industry destroys other lives and fuels terrorism what little was done to stop it with reports from kabul. a finnish lutheran pastor has been suspended by his church for speaking out against one of the world's most wanted terrorists doc who are of the treasure and is being sought for a series of deadly terrorist of tides on russian soil over the last decade past you heart model regionals the center website which he believes and acts as a mouthpiece for you maro that issue and rights activist. authorities are sheltering militants but protecting the website is up to the team. actually you are

more it's only repeating what is said about the activities of all of this terrorist organization by united nations by the usa by russia by the international media so actually you are morally cannot repeat the same information in finland which is said in the international media about these terrorist organizations the person who is responsible of the website. he has organized the mass migration all of the militants from finland are now he's facing charges he's crossed a cubit in finland over the same time he has a very strong support on the highest level of the finnish. fishel duma and also the finnish government for example the minister of development of finland had hoped always very close partner. so the situation is really strange film of the east actually protecting these militants and they are all going to i think their

activities on the territory of finland. and you can find a lot more on this story on our website artie dot com and they can read more of these log on the controversial web site and they've actually seen the planes that they can send to has a ready to drink to find a tree and insulting articles about find out more. speculation of greece is on the way to inevitable default gathered pace this week it follows reports suggesting some of the eurozone finance ministers have already given up on the possibility the country's economy can recover the i.m.f. is preparing to raise the. e.u. countries to build up a financial firewall within six leagues to be able to withstand a shock wave of the greek default this week also turns out the worst of the world's nark if this to validate the adding to the is james in that way because they should think tank in london said the crisis of the disintegration is the way. the cat is

out of the bag and to be quite honest the statement is quite close a simple statement of the facts greece cannot repay its debt under under current circumstances the growth isn't there the debt is far too big and the simply no earthly way is going to be repaying this or on any possible time scale certainly not by twenty twelve which was the original call of hope to the other european nations to the divisions that are in place right the way across europe now with countries completely unable really to agree on any kind of way forward out of this mess other than the essentially troi been tested and tried and failed methods they passed last year which essentially is give a bit of a bailout to certain countries and then impose austerity measures we are certainly i think in the early stages of disintegration of the euro the deep rooted structural problems inside the euro system the imbalances that are built up for the last ten years so i'd be surprised to see the euro continuing in its present form

given the situation we're in at the moment. big greek debt crisis how about it may turn out doesn't like it's effect russia's economy if you're russian finance minister alexei kudrin and you can watch an exclusive interview several minutes but here's a quick preview. if the debt crisis does spread it's not affecting these directly because our banks do not hold any. french and german banks on your will suffer greatly because they were not on their hands and would not be cleared for us will cause problems with him these banks problems with these banks credit some overall problems on these markets because banks are after all the leading players. libya's transitional government forces have reported the end of his hometown of sirte supported by nato they've also intensified their assault on the city of bani walid and while human rights activists questions the legality of western intervention in the country are taking legal action that is daniel bush looks

things in a record with some images you might find disturbing. projects foreign minister jamal says he's ready to defend gadhafi in the international criminal court which is issued a warrant for his arrest but later will have to find the colonel first libya's deposed leader is it hiding for good reason. if they find him they'll kill him like the model some states are now claiming the right to kill the against all international law. images like these are moving frige lawyers to turn against the government because he faces lawsuits over the birth of ordinary people in libya lawyers here in france accuse the presence of committing crimes against humanity this lawyer calls the libyan war renew vietnam where the u.s. sprayed tens of millions of liters of toxins on crops in the sixty's and seventy's causing brain disorders miscarriages and birth defects to this day are.

they using missiles with depleted uranium which causes cancer in tripoli i saw people crippled by nato attacks office workers who have nothing to do with the fighting that's why we're seeing president sarkozy for crimes against humanity. first denied bombing this residence where thirteen civilians including four children died it then called the place a military command center this journalist went to see what it really housed. videos. had toys and cultural moves and everything is nothing nothing military in another attack. is wife or child the grandchildren were reportedly killed in their home nato is accused of deliberately wage a campaign of terror. warnings targeted libya's electricity water and food supply after five months of deadly needle was and thousands of deaths people will stop

supporting the regime because they simply cannot take it anymore. western leaders a poised for their first big legal challenge of libya if they stop the cases coming to court all together as chicle the it will prove once and for all that western justice really is run by politicians not the rule of law shorty paris. another high profile collection of afghanistan this week the country's ex-president the head of dana revenue was assassinated less than a year after leading peace talks with the time robin he was killed at his home in kabul what it says side bomber gaining entry by claiming to bear taliban envoy its scale so many took place at the presidential palace friday with thousands of mourners gathering in they are going to capitol to pay respects the bombing followed a string of hypothesis hundred killings including the murder of parent president karzai as her brother in july and as they taliban continues its attack in afghanistan one of the main sources of income is and for those that are his ego has

been off the ports around the country the drugs trade is still rampant despite billions of dollars spent every get a clue that. the penalty for drinking beer in kabul is sixty which on the back publicly it is a very traditional muslim society or is it there are dozens of people if not more for doing what's right there while it is bridging the center of the seat with all this coming and staring at them all these insane conditions we used in rubbish bins in wait here where we're standing right now this is just an incredible secret heroin. it's all kicked mixed injected or small to write a more on these piles of rubbish and not one policeman anywhere near. but that not all we were told these people don't just come here to do drugs and many of them call the score is done and you can hear and we don't have any job we don't have any

editing to do if you can it's a part of war by that had a bunch of. a study commissioned by the us state department shores each family has at least one drug user all kids are they are found in breast milk and all kids even knew was that morphine. there's no doubt the theory of plantation song with narcotic crops has increased since military hostilities started afghanistan i believe the war was the root cause that forced afghan people to turn to poppy growing their own ninety percent of all the opiates in the world are produced in afghanistan interval cleans the markets global trade has long surpassed the five hundred billion dollar mark or russia is one of the worst affected state with around eighty tons of heroin thought to a newly settle in the country. it's tragic that despite the enormous resources nato has put into afghanistan including military force drug production is just

phenomenal moreover the head of nato military committee personally told me fighting drug production is not their goal there was no such directive. i mean the experts find this a bit strange given the fact that a large part of the revenues from drug money is used to sponsor the taliban needles key enemy in the region meanwhile the international community and spends billions of dollars to fight drug traffic but since nato has no legal way to coordinate the funds are spent with very little by their results while official say that multi-billion dollar going road network has the whole world and is a group of or t. kabul afghanistan. and right now but if you look at some other news from around the world a plane carrying coal to you mt everest has crashed in one thousand people on board one person has survived later died in hospital because hastert theocrat as the pilot failed to land at coventry airport in dense fog eye witnesses claim their
