4:02 am
really coming at a time of great public anger that the prime minister george happen to be holding talks to discuss the crisis is not knowing whether you're also need is it going to be 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. planning. very far from my eyes against the usa and that even if he calls maybe not the way forward but privately what people are saying is that actually it's very much looking likely and indeed possibly even an exit from the usa altogether nose beating yesterday professor constitutional law here in green he was sort of taking me through the financial calculus this idea of the controls to fold have listen to what he said i would. have to.
4:03 am
organize. bankruptcy you know they were. trying to avoid. me for years wrong maybe. then it was really only. now that the key thing that what he was saying about the. very. anyone could leave in the spectator he'd been pinpointing we would then tend the site. and stated then you really have a very serious problem indeed. and it. is looking like that control of the full is
4:04 am
on the cards at some point that's very much like the media's plan b. remembering of course that there. has been a lot of criticism of the way that we handled the situation but the people here mostly in the midst of this quite the thing it's not entirely that loaded this time it's a very bad policy decision making at the very top there's a lot of. the eye of the well really a lot of questions to. be able to fight the year i think three despite what the grease is going to. stay with us here on r.t. still to come are harming an ally or setting off a time bomb explosive revelations in the us heavy duty weapons to israel to start a new war in the middle east. but first the u.n. security council decided to postpone further discussions around the palestinian bid
4:05 am
for full membership until wednesday this is washington refuses to back down on a promise to move in support of its ally israel but argues a marine important i reports the palestinians could still gain an elevated status at 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 the us 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 the israelis and the palestinians washington said it would cast a veto if it had to but 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 to metion zz 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
4:06 am
have said hypocritical the palestinians to 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 raise 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 that i'll bet at this point it is stuck within the security council with washington pressing very hard for the palestinians to back down and not with him in a position to cast a 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 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
4:07 am
between us and the old friends is a solid relationship and they admired the goals of the. and they support the justice for the palestinian people housing in president mahmoud abbas said he would return to negotiations only only if israel holds 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 u.s. us and e.u. russia as 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
4:08 am
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 and as the u.s. continues to stand by israel washington is coming under new fire for its revelations of dealings with the country its claim of the white house supply dozens of bunker buster bombs to tel aviv weapons that may be best suited for destroying underground nuclear facilities in iran a deal to buy the bonds during the bush administration from thousand five hundred over concerns israel could pass the technology on to china but claims of a merger of 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. obama is putting himself in the position of whether he wants it or
4:09 am
not he very well made a flight of the israeli f. sixteen over raqi air space and a phone call from benjamin netanyahu saying it's gone what are you going to do he's not going to do anything about it or obama has given them everything they need to get us into a war with iran a war that would be a disaster for american soldiers in iraq and afghanistan in bahrain for example or a navy in the persian gulf and for the entire global economy and who knows what kind of repercussions certainly israel will have a whole new fight on their hands with hamas and has the law on their borders etc you know if israel was run by secret agent traitors that had taken over the country they couldn't do worse than they were doing with benjamin netanyahu in power over there and the same thing for netanyahu here in the united states of america they are hell bent on isolating both of us from everyone else in the world on this issue and everything else and if it comes to a war with iran which it very well could with benjamin netanyahu and prime minister

a good lessons so he guarding 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 the ground so i don't know what you define as military and the ransom but if you have an armed mutiny that is being financed and supported from abroad i don't think you can called out a peaceful uprising. later this hour 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 get to
