in the un's cultural agency is considering whether to admit palestine as a member during its general assembly ongoing in paris if you know says yes it's a budget will be cut by twenty two percent as the u.s. withdraws funding let's cross over now to live pictures here in the u.s. it says it cannot find any organization that except palestine as a member is really strong against the move comes ahead of a u.n. security council vote next month on the palestine's membership palestinian president mahmoud abbas addressed the u.n. in september but the u.s. says it will vote veto his attempts rather for state recognition it is worth mentioning right here just like the u.n. general assembly in new york the question of palestinian membership has been put on his agenda as i was saying but well as a permanent u.n. security council member the u.s. has a veto that it says it will exercise at the u.n. general assembly but there is nobody that has a veto you know asco and they're all it takes is

a two thirds majority of its one hundred ninety three people voting and it would get passed live pictures there or not see the. picture but are staying in the middle east and israeli court has jailed a former soldier for four and a half years for leaking classified military files to the press some of the documents suggest army officials approved the killing of palestinians in the west bank however those claims are not being investigated that according to legal experts sorry but she undermines is really low. in this case a whistle blower blew a loud and disturbing whistle the military is violating international law and the directors of the israeli supreme court in carrying out assassinations in situations in which they are required to try to make an arrest and so the state attorney's office prosecuted the soldier but failed to seriously investigate the conduct revealed in those documents conduct with raises serious questions about rule of law in the democratic system that pattern of behavior violating orders by the supreme
8:11 am
court because of the supreme court said that if they take you must try to arrest is part of a pattern of practice within the israeli system and it's something that's very disturbing because when the army does not obey orders by the supreme court the supreme court is actually more reluctant to issue those orders because no court wants to issue orders that are going to be ignored and then of course you have a serious threat to the rule of law because in a democratic system the army is of course supposed to listen to what usual system tells them to do. minutes past the hour here in moscow let's check out some other international news and grief for you this hour a suicide bombing in the southern afghan city of kandahar has claimed at least four lives a truck laden with explosives was detonated near you when an aid agency checkpoint several people were also wounded in the blast following a gunfight between insurgents and the afghan security forces the taliban has so far claimed responsibility. nato is set to wrap up its mission of libya

8:15 am
for the hysteria to cuts it goes well beyond the classroom and strikes at some of portugese societies fundamental principles like access to justice. a government isn't keen lawyers who provide free public legal services so there are some who've been doing it for years for free the courts cannot be reduced to canonical entities to solve problems of large corporations they must play the role of providing legal services for citizens and promoting social places. and this is cutting corners in education and the legal system is not enough the government spends years are hitting the portuguese where it hurts the most in their health care the government what is your capacity then do we say for me it will be thousands every year that go the most you know as to my go to yes there will be a lot of people. more because. at the same time.
