the general conference has voted to adopt the draft resolution and decided to it meet palestine as member of the united. historic day for palestine which is achieved its first full membership to u.n. agencies but you know sco is now lost nearly a quarter of its funding which the us cut in response. to a foreign backed syria's president claims the campaign against his regime is being funded from abroad and warns the west not to mess with his country. clash of the russian tycoons to the world's wealthiest man roman abramovich. take their billion dollars a speech to

a london court and spend no money on the lawsuit. and business russell may help europe with its debt crisis by offering as much as ten billion dollars available for the international monetary fund or bring you the details and. i think that. international news and comment live from moscow this is r.t. with twenty four hours a day and the cultural of united nations as excepted palestine is a fully fledged member it's the first time palestinians have achieved full status as a un body but you know sco will now pay for the decision with a loss of nearly a quarter of its funding which comes from the us what is daniel bushell explains. washington says the vote goes against its laws that it's a good against u.s. jurisdiction to any organization and fund any organization that recognizes

palestine as an independent state israel's foreign minister said israel those opposed. to israel doesn't have much financial leverage on the world stage actions like this one now the united states and israel. and. but if the. decision on. the european union states several states also voted against the palestinian bid for membership is the clearest sign of all that palestine will find opposition from the u.n. security council if it goes to the vote in full full membership there is a meeting of the council next month and the u.s. has signaled that it will oppose that and it will use its veto so if those move towards that it seems that will be the final stumbling block for full palestinian membership of the u.n. israel and the u.s. in fact say that they should be any deal for israel and palestine must come to the

negotiating table and find a conclusion between themselves but palestine says that israel's refusing to negotiate despite efforts from the middle east quartet it's now off to palestine applied for the u.n. membership last month the quartet said israel and palestine should resume talks within a month now the month has now passed there's been no resuming of tools the main story in point is the palestine doesn't want to negotiate with israel as long as it continues building settlements on its land on the west bank which is palestinian territory even by international law israel has this continuing moment to build new settlements televisa says the core of the conflict is the palestinians just one recognize israel. violence has flared up again we can do that with israel and at least eleven people were killed. syria's president has told russian television the

forces fighting his regime are armed and dangerous and putting civilians at risk to charlotte and also said he's ready to work with the opposition parties that have emerged during the months of uprising against his government all these tests reports. strong words coming from syrian president bashar al assad to where the conflict this country's been going on for almost eight months now in that interview to the russian channel he did say that any attempt to destabilize the country will result in what he called an earthquake that will reverberate not just in the region but will have global implications he also stressed that syria is most definitely not it's a different situation altogether and he did a voice out what he at his government think is the real cause of the conflict in his country. today we have hundreds of soldiers police and security forces. i would be killed during peaceful demonstrations because some slogans you know they were short and this means we're dealing with people we don't know. syria from israel or any other state that possesses such weapons but there is evidence. that will put in

place the current with civilians casualties in a number of cases the information of. terrorists. going to syria from neighboring states become pimas funded from abroad and we have a list of those who are responsible for the government has tried to put forth some reforms and the president has said that they're planning problem entry elections in february there are opposition voices such as the national coronation council which shut tries to bring together the different posing forces in syria they're saying that while they're very critical of the reforms they've put forth by the government saying it's not enough they're also wary of calling or door saying a so-called no fly zone because they do see this could just result in more bloodshed they don't want to see that in their country now the arab league of course has had been actively trying to find a solution as well trying to or speak with syrian officials they put forth a plan to president assad he said that he will be a willing to talk to all of the opposition voices including those formed during the

conflict however these are words for now they want to see actual go shushan table and that's not to say that i mean external pressure is increasing that even if there's a lot of hesitation to. any form of foreign intervention our words coming from the western leaders as well as china and russia who as we know had beat that u.n. resolution calling for sanctions or syria all of them are calling for a dialogue for real results to see the violence really stop and that's really the main focus right now of the pressure coming from the outside they just want the violence to stop just as today reporting that let's get some perspective now from an experience was correspondent joining me now in canada the syrian president claims the opposition forces of being funded from abroad is there any way to prove that. there was so little information coming out of syria because so few for reporters being allowed in there which is one of the problems. from the almost from the outset just like in libya these protesters did take up weapons and now

we're seeing an increase in the actual violence between defected soldiers that are taking. on the syrian soldiers so it is now at that stage where it is now an armed rebellion people can no longer refer to them as an armed protesters and. no country would allow an armed rebellion on its trees with some sort of action to curtail that you mention libya what sort of comparisons can be made with what's happening in syria now and what happened in libya. well it's almost playing out the same way in every every case here we've got demonstrations on the streets showing that they're pro us i mean it that they're supporting the regime as we saw up until now almost the very end in tripoli with massive demonstrations people program trying to show the world they still got support against the rebels in many ways but the only difference here being that the international community is not rushing into it with the case of libya the minute they got the result was aleutian un resolution the aircraft in the air and they were already targeting. leadership targets inside

tripoli and elsewhere so they were quick to respond here we've got a lot of reluctance on the part of nato allies to make the same mistake if you will to get involved in this and of course they don't have the u.n. security council on side yet say mistake well we're just hearing today that anders fogh rasmussen has made a statement in libya drawing that campaign a nato campaign to a close there in libya saying it's a success so. if it was a success that could it be a success in syria. well again what yardstick he's using i'm not sure because again it's almost eight months of nato airpower an intervention arms in training for the for the libyan rebels to actually force and to to talk all the gadhafi regime in there to capture and kill him so i mean if you look at the odds stacked against him obviously there was support for the gadhafi. regime to the end and we have yet to see what's going to happen inside libya as these various factions the libyan factions that we're only unified in terms of common purpose by their hatred for

gadhafi you've got some pretty widespread different ideologies and different religious factions that are at play here libya's is poised to become a giant disaster so for them to claim victory right now maybe a little premature and hoping that their senior people inside nato that look at this saying look before we can count this one as a victory we better look twice of syria before we get involved but you can say that nato has lifted the lid on these tensions in libya if that's the case and you're saying that this really could lead to a very very unstable situation that doesn't that give nato an obligation to continue with this mission that bearing in mind of course its original aim was to protect civilians. well a noble aim that it was yes but of course that involved in the end bombing other civilians but in case of syria i mean it is as a side point sort of made a little bit of difference in terms of geographic fault lines and where he's positioned it would have potential to reverberate throughout the entire region which is very unstable right now iraq is not stable americans are due to pull out

within two months they're looking at relocating forces into kuwait and they can still maintain some sort of. clout in the area. in turkey as last incursions into northern iraq they've got the kurdish factions there's a kurdish minority inside syria as well i mean israel's on the border of you've got all kinds of things there now which would be very difficult to think if you go in there and turn that into a less than volatile situation because syria is a vital geo political point there isn't it in all those countries you mentioned if that country lost its ability if assad was to go and that would have major implications on the region would it not. well at ease not using the same sort of bombast that we saw from the former iraqi president saddam hussein was going to take on the world and you know the mother of all battles he's saying he's going to turn it into another afghanistan in other words no one's got any second thoughts about whether nato could force their way in but if you do fight your way in you're going to find are going to be fighting an insurgency for some time to come very interesting here we have to say thanks very much indeed scott taylor joining us

live there from canada will correspondent thank you for your thoughts. a look at my wall street movement shows no signs of slowing in the u.s. as it enters its seventh week scores of activists have been arrested across america for refusing to pack up their cans and russia has voiced concerns of the crackdown on the treatment of protesters by the u.s. authorities. ordinates the way the occupy wall street protest is handled is an ample illustration of double standards quite a number of our counterparts from western countries are pursuing we will never put up with a situation when our western partners who have the right to ask us questions refused to discuss their own problems which there are plenty of which keeps growing. the statement comes in response to building criticism from some western countries as russia moves towards its presidential election forces in the us have tried to force various curfews over the weekend to prevent demonstrations from escalating further more than seventy protest is calling for political and economic changes

have been arrested in the state of texas oregon and california and police in denver used pepper spray to disperse the crowds but the protest is the same they are ready to withstand the pressure off and more next let's talk to james baldwin he's a founder of the americans to preserve the american dream and democracy website thanks for being with us live there in the states while the protests are entering the seventh week now yet the government and big business have so far failed to address their demands so they don't really care do they. it's like they're just not getting the message the american people have basically shown the result of and this has been in the making for some time i predicted verse fifteen years ago that the american people can only handle so much a verse class if you say income inequality in america we're the land of the

american dream and the middle class standard of living but we're under these situations we're seeing that this wonderful country has turned into a plutocracy of the rich for the rich by the rich but there are plans to organize a general strike later this week fairly and bush's plans you think that really is likely to happen does the movement really have that sort of national support. i hope that we've gotten enough attention amongst the general population of america the strike would be feasible attempt to further gain traction and get this message out but the masses are trying to send to your power of america a general strike surely would make the economic situation even worse something that you're campaigning against. definitely i am campaigning against

that but we do have to send a message and sometimes you have to do. a maneuver that may not be considered in a burst of interest but just enough to get the attention it's needed to bring the proper addressing of the split acquisition of america on the income inequality that's now before the middle class and the birth of the middle class in america certainly getting a lot of attention not necessarily because of the message but the way that the protestors have been handled by the police reports of alleged brutality from the police towards protesters what sort of message is that sending the way that the protest has been dealt with by the authorities. it's basically sending a message that. we aren't as free of a population and as free of a society as we thought we were basically a police presence can be used against the mass majority of the ninety nine

percenters and that's something we do not like to see in the american society and it will have to be dealt with are just on a level of the population how are going to deal with the police. blocking of our ideology of the american dream as it was founded in the constitution by our founding fathers and there has been some criticism that the movement is lacking some sort of cohesion one single message many people campaigning at various issues that are affecting their lives but down to the economic situation obviously based on financial issues but still at varied amounts of messages does that not perhaps possibly undermine the longevity of the cause that people might actually start to go a little weary of all of this and the message could lose its momentum. there's always a possibility of any movement but i think the fact that we've got basically occupied

groups across the country and across the world this is not going to be just a passing trend in world society this is probably more for the long haul it's just it takes a lot of doing to you know to address these type of things and not to come across as just trendy and ideology so i hope we are not going to see this just basically dry up and fired by the wayside we cannot allow that and the world cannot allow that for the sake of the mark recently and the american dream in america. jaipal going president of americans to preserve the american dream of democracy talking to us live from miami thanks very much indeed for your time. the russian billionaire owner of chelsea football club remember the movie which is appearing before

a london court in connection with a five hundred million dollar lawsuit being pursued by russian business went but as aussie itself. he claims his former associate illegally force him to hand over the money and now he wants it back he started bennett reports on one of the most expensive disputes in history. it was actually the first time that mr i don't know it was actually given evidence and spoken in this hearing despite it already going on for four weeks that's just to give you an idea of how long winded this whole process is and today was no different however it was fascinating. to hear him speak and to see this going on because he's a man as one of the richest in the world with an estimated fourteen personal fortune of over ten billion pounds if he were very rarely speak to the media if at all and get today all of that intrigue and mystery suddenly evaporated as he was put on the spot and reduced to being just an ordinary member of the public basically he was visibly nervous he was shy shaking a little bit saw in his words and there's a lot at stake here he's being sued by mr berezovsky for three point five billion

pounds and further his personal wealth mr berezovsky in him with a co-founder of the all companies see there now mr berezovsky alleges that he was blackmailed into selling his shares in that company for a fraction of their true value now in this cross-examination today that's just started because lawyers were focusing on details to really discredit mr have a move which think we heard allegations that he was involved in the arms business also allegations that he lied about his education so nasty details might not be key to the actual case it's an attempt by the results of his lawyers to discredit mr bush both of them concealed behind this curtain of money and and mystery and this hearing has really been a peek behind that both men turned out to court in very shiny cars mr berezovsky or mr b. is the bodyguards call him turning up in my bar mr a mr i promote it in a sadie's they're all both flanked by bodyguards translators lawyers that he's got a team of about fifteen now is that he's claiming what's central to his claim is

based on their close relationship form a close relationship on speaking terms now he says they were very close friends he was his mentor and they were they were business partners yet today i misdoubt rose released a statement denying that. part of the problem with actually establishing what exactly the deals were between these men is because none of it was actually written down now this is a pact with doesn't seem to prize will shock these men they take it as fact obviously and they say well that's just the way it was because this was after all ninety's russia i have been reporting there let's check some other international news in brief this hour in our world update a suicide bombing in the southern afghan city of kandahar has claimed at least four lives a truck laden with explosives was detonated near a u.n. aid agency checkpoint several people wounded in the blast and suing gunfight between insurgents and the afghan security forces the taliban has claimed responsibility. nato is set to wrap up its mission over libya by midnight on monday

marking the official into its military intervention responsibility for national security will be handed to the country's interim government will face is the difficult task of collecting helpless weapons and far arms from civilians weapons use became widespread during the eight months of civil war that ended with the violent death of libya's former leader moammar gadhafi. to yemen now a huge loss of rotten air base outside the capital sanaa prompting authorities to shut the city's international airport officials say that exposes devices were planted inside twelve fighter jets it clear how insurgents managed to get access to the heavily guarded area women's capital has seen months of anti-government rallies with protesters demanding an end to decades of prison sunny's with. a new york trial of it to boot the russian business woman accused of international arms trafficking and supplying weapons to terrorists is close to a conclusion she was arrested in thailand in two thousand and eight after a sting operation by the u.s. and flown to new york to face trial where correspondent and stars of chicken is

following developments in new york. he was arrested in a sting operation conducted by the united states drug enforcement agency where special agents were posing as members of his group and trying to lure him into a business deal with them so that they could promptly arrest him now the prosecution says that piece from twenty five years to a life sentence behind bars whereas his lawyers see that the only thing i was doing was trying to sell two old cargo planes to these people and according to routes lawyer was perfectly aware that he was not exactly dealing with members of the fart group and we're expected to hear the verdict in the hours to come and this is something that could potentially make a great picture googe we have to remember that earlier in september in a similar case or another russian businessman was sentenced to twenty years behind bars basically the hunt for victor boot has been going on for roughly

a decade before his arrest in thailand in two thousand and eight we know that u.s. agents have spent tens of millions of dollars in attempts to build this operation to arrest victor boot while he was peacefully living in moscow actually and then catching him in thailand and bringing him over to the united states in what really seems like a hollywood movie they snatched him away in the middle of the night from thailand where technically his legal documents still remain we have to remember that tie courts found not guilty twice but still he was taken to the united states where he has been facing a trial for the last three weeks and the controversy started really a long time ago because this man was dubbed the merchant of death in the united states way before he was even taken here with even a hollywood film made about this man and the judge was even forced to make the jury sign a pledge that they would not look this man up on the internet because unfortunately for boots in the court of public opinion in the united states he's most likely

already lost this case. coming up to twenty three minutes past the hour here in the russian capital i'll update you on today's headlines very shortly in the meantime cohen is next with the latest business needs. care about the top business office our thanks for joining me the russian government is putting some numbers to help it might offer the eurozone presidential they are crying for college says this could mean up to ten billion dollars for the debt fund this could be done through the i.m.f. and by bilateral agreements with individual countries michael cheika has. russia helping the result makes both political and financial sense europe is russia's largest trading partner so ensuring its recovery could only be positive for those countries will be will be no winners should the e.u. be hit to the world's but it's not all financial all truism russia will be seeking some sort of reassurances as to the structural reforms in europe's most indebted nations also buying european bonds offers russia the prospect of diversifying its

reserve holdings which are now dominated by u.s. treasuries on the downside money that does go for the aid is not available to be spent at home although economists suggest it is not enough to make a real dent in russia's plans i also say you know we're talking about ten billion dollars which can be important amount for maybe specific kountry in a in the european union zone but for russia to take into account the central bank reserves say about five hundred billion dollars we are really talking about you know rolled lamar in a financial decisions politically there is also more of this to be meet russia wants closer relations with western europe to coming to its rescue in its hour of need can only be to its credit something which may come in handy when discussions focus on matters closer to russia's heart such as energy relations. looking at the markets now all the clients bearing the biggest nothing gain in more than two years futures slow as much as one point two percent so after japan we can begin against
