why no one's really happening to the global economy much stronger or a no holds barred look at the global financial headlines tune in to cause reports. the greek government said to approve more unpopular taxes and tries to convince european lenders to end over another piece of the bailout to avert a looming default. meanwhile the greek prime minister will be heading to the lead to hold told as the country's debt crisis spirals out of. the u.n. security council prepares to submit the palestinian statehood paid for recognition despite fierce objections from israel and the u.s. which is about to veto the move. and as the u.k. struggles to create new jobs amid a stark rise in unemployment it emerges that nine out of ten positions are being taken by immigrants. business russian markets climb in morning session that's

despite the shots of a finance minister on exactly how monday pokiak he tells the principal it's. eleven am in the russian capital i'm not treasurer good to have you with us here on r t our top story greek lawmakers are expected to approve an unpopular property taxes they will to show that they're serious about tackling the country's debt crisis as part of the austerity measures put together to convince the e.u. and i.m.f. to hand over an eight billion euro bailout loan or t. sara for a thousand more from athens. we're going to see a test for the. day as the week and planning to vote on that property tax it's pretty extremely unpopular here in the country among the public coming of course on top of their austerity measures that have been going on for

a long long time now is 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 they can go that the prime minister george patton jay will be traveling to balance night holding talks to discuss the crisis is not knowing whether the eurozone leaders against the handing over that ten point eight billion dollars cash injection is going to be needed to keep the country afloat publicly the line still very much in the lead is that they're not planning. very far from them eyes are going to be keeping great in the usa and even if he calls maybe not the way forward but privately what people there say is that i actually thought it's very much now looking like me and indeed possibly even an exit from the usa altogether now speaking yesterday to professor constitutional law here in green he was sort of

taking me to the financial jargon of this idea of the controls to fold how to listen to what he said i would. have to. organize. who were going to kind of. bankruptcy you know they were. trying to avoid. a passion. made. me. fight for. then the. only possible. now that's the key thing that what he was saying about the tell me to say to you see this is really very concise. really anyone could leave in the spectator is he being pinpointing great i would

then tend this site to countries such as its lead and spain they need really have a very serious post maybe not be the end it. is looking like that control is on the cards at some point that's very much like the need is plan b. and remembering a cool sit there with this is began with that there was. a lot of criticism of the way that we handled the situation but the people here struggling in the midst of this crisis this thing it's not entirely that pulls a lot of this comes it's a very bad policy decision making at the very top there's a lot of anger directed at the i.m.f. and the this is well really a lot of questions whether they're going to be able to kite the years thanks really this crisis and whether greece is going to be able to survive. stay with us here on our. ally or setting off. explosive revelations that the u.s.

has sold weapons to israel to start a new war. but first the u.n. security council decided to postpone further discussions around the palestinian bid for full membership to wednesday this is washington refuses to back down on a promise to block a move in support of its ally israel. and i reports that palestinians could still get an elevated status out the world body. 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 when he was addressing 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 the palestinians washington said it would cost to be 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 so ordering the so-called arab spring that's a nation's the libyans the egyptians and so for the u.s. to cast a veto now against the aspirations of the palestinians would be as some critics have said hypocritical the palestinians do have another option and that would be to take a vote before the general assembly where they do have the majority of support that would only palestine's status at the u.n. to observer state a nonmember observer state but they would be able to file lawsuits at 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 veto palestinian envoy riad monsoor addressed 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 a certain number of countries on members of the security council but we trust that we have many friends in the council and the relationship between us and our friends is a sort of the relationship and. the opposing. palestine and they support the justice for the palestinian people in alice name 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 the 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 us us and e.u. now russia is one of the many countries at the u.n. that said they would support the palestinian bid for a 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's now coming under fire for a new revelations of its dealings with the country is claimed the white house supplied dozens of bunker buster bombs to 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 israel could pass their knowledge young to china the claims of now emerged that the weapons were secretly released shortly after obama took

office in two thousand and nine 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 it is that the tail wags the dog in this respect israel is a tiny nation the size of new jersey and it has no oil wealth it has barely a strategic position and yet it's telling you sole the world's sole remaining superpower what to do and it has the design on the bunker busters a five thousand pound bomb that is only used in order to penetrate deep deep fortified positions iran does keep its keys is said to keep its nuclear research was still to use deep underground and the only way to really access them would be using exactly that sort of weapon so. it's not speculation to ask where they're going ron would be interested in we would 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 unrest in the country this comes as the international pressure on syria is growing with us urging more u.n. sanctions russia's approach rivals the u.s. backed draft urging the warring sides toward dialogue and what now says more than twenty seven hundred people have been killed by security forces in the government crackdown this year dr ybor he will lose from jordan university thinks the conflict is being fueled from abroad with foreign countries i know and saying the opposition . but i think the mosque has already proven that it is very serious about instigating reform passes initiated a series of sound a good lessons regarding the media and 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 courteous question and other groups working on the ground so i don't know what to define as monitor and to run some 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. a little more than an hour former nato chief george robertson tells r t that foreign military intervention in syria should only be considered if it's fails as a preview. because you can't intervene everywhere doesn't mean that you should intervene where you can you know the wall is weak resolution there was a un security council resolution either of these things apply at the moment to what's happening in syria but then so we should be at the table staying just as it

is and it won't if we take some time to walk over there of. economic political diplomatic let's the period for the next prize. for the women of last resort is the military pay for the economic diplomatic use political influence cheve these 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 new positions or he's either better or ports. jaymes amongst the growing ranks of unemployment he's been trying to find a job in social housing since many competitions fee is that for the six i just he's

now looking for each job so you just find that you know looks like is about for you they will get short listed of it as look at salaries slightly less you know might be going to go to college and maybe there isn't parts on unemployment snow it eight percent the highest for fifteen years but no matter how hard jamie tries the old system 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. nine times out of ten reversing that trend was a key election pledge of a new government promising to slash immigration but a year on its only increased migration was nearly a quarter of a million last year up to twenty percent on two thousand and nine and britain second biggest annual total ever way off the government's five figure target i think they're probably over promising given the restrictions that they face it

didn't make sense to promise to bring the number down to an arbitrary level we initially been having a more honest debate about the limits on what they could do the government claims its target can be met by capping not on e.u. immigration but that ignores how most are coming from within the e.u. the 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 measures are now. argot might come close. as i'm likely to meet it so we refer to measures are necessary for others the problem lies at home pretty patel's an m.p. in from an immigrant family herself she knows what it takes to succeed here but says most don't i go back to thirty forty years ago and you've seen immigrants come to this country what they wanted to is they want to work hard and get on in life

they really do that all families think about except except sure you don't you days gone past we used to have a tremendous british work ethic in this country we really did i think people need to be lost some of it was easy to see that at the job center where most i'm it will migrant workers the problem is that a lot of the good haiti when they got used to not there in the minimum wage jobs and the low paid work so they need to be forced into taking these jobs the government claims it's now doing just that it says we are reforming the world system to ensure. but we end the benefit dependency which is trying so many people and finally ensure would taste good once 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 the government simply can't keep going to bed its. london stay with us here on r.t. still to come a walk in the wilderness for the people with its program hello we are i know why
