a vote of grading the palestinians u.n. status is expected to go in favor of the autonomy despite staunch resistance from israel and the united states. egypt's top judges join the fight against president mohamed morsi with tens of thousands of egyptians now calling for the islamist leader to step down. and germany's political opposition lashes out of the country's leaders for a lying about the true cost of the greek rescue as the german parliament is set to vote on the latest aid package more of the struggling remember.

they have a moscow you're watching r.t. on marina joshie palestinians are eagerly anticipating thursday's un vote that could lead to the territory being granted statehood the autonomy is hoping to be upgraded from observer status to that of a nonmember observer state and there are and there appears to be international support for the proposal despite strong opposition from israel and the united states activist and filmmaker harry fear isn't a force. the end of the day we have in here in the middle east we have an israeli state and then we have a normal palestinian state or simply palestinian territories the palestinian people do not have rights like israelis do as a result of the state as. national entity and so this is a bid by mahmoud abbas to upgrade the status of palestinian territories. to try and move towards a recognition of the palestinian territories as palestine and here in gaza this has

a lot of significance because the palestinian territories geographically noncontiguous we have the west bank and gaza in the west bank particular associated with the power of mahmoud abbas and here in gaza particular associated with the power of hamas now recently of course we've had the two thousand and twelve gaza war seven eight day war with a state of israel and palestinian resistance groups including the resistance wing of hamas as part of the ultrasound brigades used force against the state of israel in that conflict now that is starkly different in terms of positioning with the state of israel in terms in gauging with the state of israel in comparison to mahmoud abbas who is seen. in the western world as much more moderate in comparison to have mass presenting a more hardline position including armed resistance against the state of israel so what we have here is a palestinian political dynamic as well if the western world and indeed the u.n.

does not support this increased status for the palestinian people then what will almost certainly happen will be that mahmoud abbas is seen as even weaker a palestinian national representative and hamas will be further strengthened to the dismay of israel and the united states. paraphilia reporting there from gaza and washington for its part has been trying to persuade mahmoud abbas to drop his u.n. bit earlier we talked to. president of the minaret of freedom institute who explained why it's so important for the u.s. that the palestinian state remains on recognized. in my view washington is simply reflecting the position of israel washington as far as american interests are going to turn if there's no real american interest per se national interest that is served by denying the recognition to the palestinians however there is a domestic political issue and that is that many of the members of congress believe that in less they stand by israel in its opposition to the recognition of the

palestinian state at this time that they themselves would lose their seats so this is a matter of a demand of domestic politics for the united states rather than a question of foreign policy. while the u.s. support for israel in its disputes with palestine seems unflinching when it comes to other regional matters washington must learn to say no test for a statesman speaking of brezinski. not good. decisions. more of why he thinks america's friendships should be limited just ahead of the program. further escalation of the crisis in egypt the country stop judiciary have gone strong to protest president morsi decree that greatly enlarged his power more says move set off a nationwide wave of violence rallies with tens of thousands of egyptians calling for the islamist leader to stand down journalist bell true has the latest from cairo. we've had to the choir is made to cool the country's major chords the

constitutional court and the appeals court say they are going to strike of course the judges themselves are also still on a partial strike the journalists in the case and their own so who for a strike to seeing really quite a lot of movement that the major sectors within egypt society and which the president is really going to have to do with as things escalate on the street as well fish caches do continue between protesters and the police which started early last week police are firing excessive amounts of tear gas and but shot at dozens of protesters who are still in the streets reporting from the seeing my colleague tom barton has more here in the streets of central cairo the sights the sounds the smells of protest and of civil disorder very loud and very clear tucker a square is just over there and a large crowd of protesters are doing stones at the police who are giving just as much back picking up stones themselves and firing back along with them as vans

firing gas canisters into the crowds the stench of to gas is thick in the air the police a protest as everyone i like is has their eyes and noses we actually formalised tear gas there's more tough cocktails trying through the air as well all the pavements have been ripped up as have some of the branches of the trees it's a real street but these people absolutely determined the crowd to protest is somehow much worse she was changing the way to make that declaration that he did once again self sweeping was last tuesday we will have to leave the mohamed morsi guy making democracy in this country but after within five five months since or since have more since starting to run runs this country has said to use despair or i'm correct all of the poems this country to be on his side a lot of these people here don't want me to. or c as president will say you know

like most of what occurred. just before he picked up this problem before he could have the support of the big ones completely missing that the relation was that they was charice brad was. more as he says his fresh powers will expire with the implementation of a new constitution under pressure from protest and a sampling drafting the charter promise to complete work on thursday but there are fears that islam is dominating the pal will impose their agenda on the document further provoking street violence blogger and journalist while asking ourselves there is a growing feeling that real democracy as a long way off the fact of the matter is that everything is going in the opposite direction of what the revolution is called for the constituent assembly itself is a reflection of how unwilling to share power the muslim brotherhood are and along with morsi. he says that he will give back powers as soon as

a parliament is is elected but he's not allowing the gyptian to share in writing the constitution so this to me seems like a false promise about giving back power because the one thing he can do is allowed to just write their own constitution and share power and he's not doing that the judiciary have been a tool for the mubarak regime but if we come to think of it when people protested mubarak they were protesting police brutality and we see that more she's giving promises to the police that they will act with impunity and does not want to bring anyone to justice for the crimes they've done. and we're asking what well the anger over morse is power grab ultimately linked to head to r.t. dot com and have your say right now. the latest greek rescue deal has been hanging on as a breakthrough in brussels but now it's time for the agreement to pass through national parliaments in germany there is a growing chorus of frustration among lawmakers about the deal which is estimated

to cost berlin hundreds of millions of euros artist peter all over reports the opposition members of the social democrat party. center right coalition this is not really a rubber stamping service and if they want to push through this latest package they're going to have to prove to m.p.'s it's in the best interest of germany what this latest package contains is a bone buyback scheme which would lower outstanding bones in private hands to thirty five percent of the euro though it would also see lower interest rates on the dates that greece has as well as the hunting over of profit from. what they see going to truly means though is that for twenty thirteen germany is set to lose around seven hundred and thirty million euros due to implementing these latest measures all of that of course not making great reading for chancellor merkel she

said time and time again that the german taxpayer would not be hit financially by germany giving help to greece now they have to admit that that is going to happen and it's still happening on the basis that greece can pay some of it back by twenty sixteen where it should be back on its feet almost considering the current state of the greek economy that's a mistake statement to make the opposition i mentioned the social democrats they're saying that they need to on restructuring for. greece will have to wait until after the general election takes place here so with the shadow of the election starting to come into view. a century being politically embarrassed by having to go back on a promise she's made it's all stone to be a very interesting debate when german politicians discuss the latest financial aid package for greece. later today my skies are in sting's in her birth exposed bank

looters damaging economies all the way from africa to. the rebel surrounds central banking goma they're looting the bank a u.n. source said later another u.n. source denied that there had been money in the bags insisting they were full of being a lot of the central banks are collateralized by beans that's similar to the bank of england mark carney is going to be arriving to the bank of england in a few short months and you'll find that in the vaults bags of beans and some of boris johnson's wigs but other than that there's nothing to collateralize his bank so yes of course you've got incredible similarities central banks are being looted the rebels whether they're in africa or in england. the motive is the same.

welcome back here with our team now the syrian opposition based within the countries accusing turkey of allowing foreign mercenaries access through its territory into syria to cause more violence the group also warned western arab states against meddling in syrian affairs by backing certain rebel factions turkey france britain and persian gulf monarchies have given their full endorsement for a foreign based opposition coalition pledging that more support from abroad and in their fight against the government as an international community remains divided as to how to and the syrian crisis a key regional player iran is looking to play

a greater role in resolving the conflict are just recent reports from tehran. that . the conflict in syria sees no end but iran a key regional power and indicated syria is continuing and intensifying its efforts for a peaceful resolution to undermine the diplomatic mission to find violent and a civil war on its doorstep seven offered to host a representative from all sides of the fighting in syria at a closed door today gathering dubbed no to violence yes democracy took his request for nato to missiles to be deployed on its border with syria drew the scorn of iran's foreign ministry who said all that would do is aggravate tensions across the whole region then violence has actually already intensified following the latest interventions from western and some arab diplomats when the syrian opposition formed the syrian national coalition as and see it's good to receive through the mission as. well just him and most of the people from the likes of britain and

france which even back its conviction by confirming it would send one to help million dollars to get the new organization up and running the dividing lines inside syria have been played out and told the wider by the international community and its divided approach with no call to nation the ordinary syrians caught up in the crossfire don't know where these ten apart from a hail of shells and bullets are if national t.v. reporting from iran. while to rot is pursuing peace in syria still facing the threat of war on home soil over its nuclear program israel has long been threatening a military strike which analysts say could come as early as january but in this case israel shouldn't count on u.s. support that's the view of one of america's most renowned statesman zbigniew brzezinski who was speaking at a conference co-hosted by the national iranian american council and i don't think there is any implicit obligation of the united states. to follow you know stupid.

do you decide to start a war simply in the assumption that will magically be drawn into it i think it is the obligation of friendship to say well you're not going to be making decisions for us. policy director for the national reigning american council told us the u.s. may find itself drawn into of war with iran even against its wishes. whether the u.s. blindly backs israel or follows bibi netanyahu into military conflict with iran i think that remains to be seen but i would say that the same policies that we've seen the pressure policies some of the lack of flexibility in being able to negotiate has been driven by the influence of hawkish pro israel lobbies in congress and here in washington and that. you know for the u.s.

and frankly for israel if that is not a policy that is is beneficial to their interests at the end of the day we're faced with either a diplomatic resolution to this standoff or we see the escalating pressure the escalating antagonism that cannot survive indefinitely that eventually is going to reach a tipping point and whether it's deliberate or it's accidental we're going to end up in a war online at r.t. dot com find out why there is one less witness in a high profile multi-million dollar laundering case here and writes it after the mysterious death of one russian exiled businessman who was expected to deliver the evidence to the investigation. plus a mystery man a billion dollar gas deal between ukraine and a spanish contract is up in the air with a key if clueless as to who have actually done business with. that a fan's dream for u.s.
