the greek government said to approve more unpopular taxes as a tries to convince european lenders to hand over another slice of the bailout to avert a looming default. meanwhile the great climate that will be heading the political polls as it would seem that crisis. the u.n. security council are ready to submit the palestinian bid for statehood for recognition despite fears objections from israel and the u.s. which is browser veto the move. as the u.k. struggles to create new jobs amid a stark rise out of a point made it emerges that night out of ten positions are being taken by immigrants. and this is the sound the rock of russian rule extends losses through

to you minimum against the greenback the one in the cd i doubt. it's nine am in moscow i match reza good to have you with us here on r t our top story greek lawmakers are expected to approve an unpopular property taxes they battle to show that they're serious about tackling the country's debt it's part of the austerity measures put together to convince the e.u. and i.m.f. to hand out and eight billion euro bailout loan for more honest we go live to our he's sorry for standing by for us in athens so sara how exactly is the prime minister planning to convince you leaders to hand over the battle of money what austerity measures are we talking about. well we going to see a test for they's a sturdy measures today as. planning to vote on that property tax is pretty

extremely unpopular here in the country among the public coming of course on top of severe austerity measures that have been going on for a long long time now it's the one on top of the other for the people here they've had cause to government spending they've had cuts to their pensions people have lost their jobs unemployment is extremely high here and now this property tax on top of that really coming at a time of great public hanging over the prime minister just happened to be traveling to balance nights holding talks to discuss today crisis is not knowing where the eurozone leaders against the handing over that ten point eight billion dollar cash injection is going to be needed to keep the country afloat that's not yet been decided but if that doesn't happen then you can see the effects of that in this country happening in extremely rapidly now we've seen a little strikeout action happening here recently later on today is thought that the protesters are going to gather outside the parliament building but as we said

to create a common amongst this rapidly as we've been here before it really is a bit of a vicious circle they create these measures we have right up to the point where they need the cash injection greece really has been a country that's been taking to the great with thing that. has been a lot of talk of greece's default is that something that's looking right at this point. well publicly the line still very much in the lead but not planning at least. very far from their minds against the keeping with the usa and even if he falls maybe it's not the way forward but privately what people are saying is that it's very much now looking like it and indeed possibly even elected from the usa altogether knows he can just say to professor the constitutional law here in green he was sort of taking me to the financial joking with this idea of the controls to

fold clothes saying to him that really seems a contradiction in terms of the situation seems anything but in control have a listen to what he said. because i've. got that we can organize. that's what we're going to kind of. bankruptcy you know they were. going to do you is trying to avoid the. so practically. made because of the years of maybe rudd going to be. sacrificed in order to show. that he's trying to force. then disaster is the only possible way out. now that's the key thing though what he was saying about the talmud to.

really anyone could leave in the spectator he'd been pinpointing glee i would tend the site. and stating they need really have a very serious problem indeed. and it. is looking like the control of the full is on the cards at some point very much like the. plan b. remembering of course. they are having to tell it is. very concerned that in the people here it is done in a way to. speak a lot of criticism of the way that we kind of the situation but the people here mostly in the midst of this crisis the thing it's not entirely that. it's a very bad policy decision making at the very top of the load. of the eye of the well really a lot of questions they're going to be able to guide the year i think. all

right our concern for a fight for life for us in athens thanks for that report. stay with us here on our coming your way arming an ally or setting off a time bomb explosives explosive revelations the heavy duty weapons to israel. to start a war. but first u.n. security council has decided to postpone further discussion around the palestinian bid for full membership to wednesday this is washington refuses to back down on a promise to block the move in support of its ally israel very important i reports palestinians could still gain an elevated status. what the palestinians would need would be nine out of fifteen of the security council members to support this application no vetoes but u.s. president barack obama did state last week that he was trusting the general

assembly that the only way there could be an independent palestinian state is through direct negotiations and and peace talks between israelis and palestinians washington said it would cast a veto if it had to put let's remember that u.s. credibility and influence in the middle east is at stake here u.s. president barack obama has been seen supporting the so-called arab spring the tunisians the libyans the egyptians and so for the u.s. to cast a veto now i guess the aspirations of the palestinians would be as some critics have said hypocritical the palestinians to have another option and that would be to take the vote before the general assembly where they do have the majority of support that would only raise palestine's status at the u.n. to observer state a nonmember observer state but they would be able to file lawsuits the international criminal court and participate in many forums but at this point it is

stuck within the security council with washington pressing very hard for the palestinians to back down and not put them in a position to cast a palestinian envoy riad months or address the media following day one of security council consultations here's a bit of what he had to say we all know in the security council this is this is an exercise in which there will be a tremendous pressure but so is the number of countries and members of the security council but we trust that we have many friends in the council and the relationship between us and the old friends is a solid relationship and. the pose of the. and they pulled to justice for the palestinian people palestinian president mahmoud abbas said he would return to negotiations only only if israel halts its settlement

construction and since that has not happened and since this statement made by the quartet did not include that then the president of palestine said that there's no point in talking this can't be business as usual russia as a part of the quartet russia the u.s. us and e.u. now russia is one of the many countries that when that said they would support the palestinian bid for u.n. membership and stay put that statement but at this point. president abbas is saying that there is no point of returning to negotiations that have continued on for nearly two decades have not resulted in anything no peace plan nothing and just resort back to the way everything has been proceeding so while the international community is trying to come together right now to get both sides back to the negotiation table it seems that the palestinians are really driven and determined as the u.s. continues to stand by israel washington is now coming under fire for revelations of

its dealings with the country and its claim the white house sold dozens of bunker buster bombs in tel aviv weapons that could be used for destroying underground nuclear facilities in iran a deal to buy the bonds during the bush administration in two thousand and five foundered over concerns that israel could pass the technology on to china but claims are now emerged that the weapons were secretly released shortly after obama took office in two thousand and nine some observers fear the move could lead to a new war. it seems that there is very few limits that the united states is willing to cross in order to support israel at any cost you have to almost wonder how does the tail wag the dog in this respect israel is a trainee nation the size of new jersey and it has the new oil wealth it has nearly a strategic position and yet it's only the sole the world's sole remaining superpower what to do and it just goes on and on the bunker busters a five thousand pound bomb that is only used in order to penetrate deep deep

fortified positions to iran does keep its is instead to keep its nuclear research facilities deep underground and the only way to really access them would be using exactly the sort of weapon so. it's not speculation to ask whether iran would be interested in we care about this transaction this is very much an escalation of the conflict between israel and iran the syrian foreign minister has accused foreign governments of fueling the arrest in his country this kind of international pressure on syria is growing with u.s. urging more u.n. sanctions russia's approach rivals the u.s. backdraft urging the warring sides toward dialogue the u.n. now says more than twenty seven hundred people have been killed by security forces and the government crackdown this year i think you were him aloof from jordan university thinks the conflict is being fueled from abroad with foreign countries financing the opposition. well i think that moscow's has already proven that it is

very serious a lot instigating reform has initiated a series of regulations regarding the media a multi-party system but the opposition unfortunately has been refusing to sit down and dialogue with the regime so the problem here is not the syrian leadership but the opposition which is being encouraged by interference from abroad whether by the gulf cooperation council or the nato kirky especially and other groups working on their ground so i don't know what you define as military intervention but if you have an armed mutiny that is being financed and supported from abroad i don't think you can call that a peaceful uprising little more than a half hour's time former nato chief george robertson tells r.t. that foreign military intervention in syria should only be considered if all else

fails. because you can't intervene everywhere doesn't mean that you should intervene with you can you know the boys are not of the resolution there was a un security council resolution i did a piece things apply at the woman to what's happening in syria but i said we should let the people stay just as it is in iran some time to what i don't know under means by which to be economic political diplomatic rights for the next surprise all of the period for the women of last resort is the military they fooled by economic diplomatic. political influence chief he says of trying to take. the u.k. has been trying hard to reduce its debt but the spending cuts are forcing growing numbers of people out of work now it's emerged that what few job vacancies there

are are going almost exclusively to immigrants who are taking nine out of ten of all new positions or he's i've heard bennett reports. jaymes amongst the growing ranks of unemployed he's been trying to find a job in social housing since may competitions fears that fall as it's agencies now working for each job so you just find it looks like it's about they will get shortlisted a better look at salaries slightly less maybe you can actually go out to college and parts on unemployment now it's eight percent the highest fifty years but no matter how hard jamie tries the odds are stacked against him job centers like this one helped fill one hundred eighty thousand new vacancies in the last twelve months but only eight percent of those once a british workers with foreign nationals more successful in the job market nine times out of ten reversing that trend was a key election pledge of the new government promising to slash immigration but

a year on it's only increased net migration was nearly a quarter of a million last year up to twenty percent on two thousand and nine and britain the second biggest annual total ever way off the government's five bigger target probably over promising given restrictions that they face it didn't make sense to number down to an arbitrary level relation having a more honest debate about the limits on what they could do the government claims its target can be met by capping nor e.u. immigration but that ignores how most it coming from within the e.u. where restrictions don't apply entry numbers for eastern europeans rose by eight times in the last year alone as they continue to cash in on the open borders it's unlikely that a touch of a measure is a better announced target and i can close it and i'm likely to meet it further

measures are necessary for others the problem lies at home pretty patel's an m.p. and from an immigrant family herself she knows what it takes to succeed. but says most don't i go back to thirty forty years ago and you've seen immigrants come to this country what they want to do is they want to work hard and guess hone in on if they really do that family think about it such exception you know days come pass through you stop a tremendous work ethic in this country we really did i think we did pay to be lost some of it it was easy to see that at the job center where most i meet will migrant workers the problem is that a lot british people remember the basic but they got used to not doing the minimum wage jobs and the low paid work so they need to be forced to take in these jobs the government claims it's now doing just that it says we are reforming the welfare system to ensure that we end the benefit dependency which is track so many people and finally ensure work pays for the loss the long term unemployed can be forced to

look for jobs there's no guarantee they'll get them coming back to the immigration problem is the government simply can't keep i think bill it's. london. stay with us here on our team still ahead a walk in the wilderness for the people of his garden archipelago in the arctic find out why poor bears have become a much loved symbol of a valuable source of income but also the purpose. of the first hour rush is looking for a new finance minister after the surprise dismissal of alexei kruger and on monday is become the first fallout of the plan to reshuffle at the top of the country's politics right here putin has announced he's running for president in two thousand and twelve and hopes current president dmitry medvedev will become like mr krueger in reacted to the news by saying he would not serve in a new government headed by the better but many veteran said anyone who questions as policies should resign from all of the possible successors occurring in our business it's coming your way in
