he said the framework of mideast peace talks could collapse. u.s. secretary of state hillary clinton is focusing on the future. >> regardless of what happens tomorrow in the united nations, we remain focused on the day after. we will leave, know, no effort or stone unturned in our commitment to the achieving that. >> the u.s. is continuing its efforts to dissuade the palestinians from applying for u.n. membership. >>> people around the world are keeping their eyes on the sky in the coming hours. pieces of a u.s. satellite are expected to fall to earth sometime on friday. and just as old space hardware is returning to this planet, some new equipment is going up. the japanese government successfully launched and information gathering satellite on friday using the company's mainstay h2a rocket it took off in southwestern japan. the satellite is equipped with a high resolution camera that can detect objects on earth as small as 60 centimeters in size. its main purpose, gathering information related to national security. japan now has three information g

emerging crisis in the mideast with israel. their embassy was stormed over the weekend in cairo. their ambassador was thrown out of turkey because of the fire they are having over that raid on that turkish ship headed for gaza. the problems with other countries with israel. they are our good friends, but things are heating up. anything you would be -- let me add one thing, palestinians are going to seek statehood from the u.n. next week. what would you do if you were president about israel now? is it as serious as i think it is? >> >> it is extraordinarily serious of the turkish government has begun moving towards a more radical position. the turkish government is angry because even the united nations found their flotilla to gaza was wrong and they were violating the rules. their pride has been affronted. they are taking it on israel. threatening to use turkish warships to escort a flotilla to gaza that would be extraordinarily dangerous. the leader saying he would go to gaza himself that would be a dangerous precedent in egypt you have crowd control and very dangerous circumstan

along with the eu and the mideast quartet are trying to persuade the palestinians not to apply for full membership. saying only negotiations with israel can securities. >> some of the fiercest opposition in israel for palestinian statehood is coming from israeli settlers. both ultra-orthodox and secular. they live in settlements scattered across the west bank and east jerusalem. most opposition is driven by fundamentalist religious views. israelis on the west bank are not ruling out that one day their home might be standing on sovereign palestinian territory. >> benny is a settler. he does not consider himself a fundamentalist, but he says a palestinian state would be a nightmare for him. >> no one would want to live in a palestinian state. >> he moved to the west bank and not for religious or ideological reasons, but because he can build a swimming pool there. it can cost 10 times as much. today, he regrets the move. >> the house isn't worth anything anymore. why? because the world will not allow israel to hang onto this land forever. >> those pulling the political strings are the fund

nuclear weapons have surely marked a strong revolution in both military and security affairs in the mideast that before their creation there had always been a shortage of firepower in relation to the wishes of strategic. nuclear weapons provided firepower greater than any political purpose rationally prosecutable. therefore nuclear weapons specially during the cold war would be known war weapons . what is happening now adays is the normality there is no order a great change with a continuous redefinition of the international order that can lead to unexpected results she has a redefinition of new roles and a change where we ignore what is useful what is useless and what is harmful to new subjects are emerging almost every day and it is unknown if these subjects will be good or evil. actually you just have to think about the international finance and so yesterday we thought that that would have been the universal solution to all the problems you are as now it has become one of the enemies to fight against. changed in the war. changed in the fault. is what has changed. since the peace of westp

tracking their names have been difficult because of the very common names in the mideast. however, authorities are using tools that include flight manifests and flight logs to try to track down more information about exactly who these people are. you will remember that this plot was only uncovered by u.s. authorities 72 hours ago, wednesday of this week. and they learned about it after intercepting a communication from an al qaeda operative operating in pakistan. and intelligence agencies tell us that this is someone who has been credible in the past. the two targets are said to be new york and washington possibly involving a car bomb, a truck bomb, or some other means. but remember, this is still an unconfirmed threat. fredericka? >> all right, susan. and tomorrow, significant ceremonies to be underway. give us an idea of how security has impacted people getting from point "a" to point "b," whether it be today or potentially tomorrow. >> reporter: it's been tough all around for both new yorkers, especially, and also tourists because they continue to have very, very tough

we will talk to a former state department advisory on mideast affairs.he has a foundation close to the u.s. administration on issues of national security. why is president obama so eager to move any discussion about a palestinian state away from the un? >> having a vote at the un would put the u.s. in a difficult diplomatic position. essentially, if there is a vote, the wells -- the u.s. will veto it and isolate itself from international communities. but the administration is trying to do is delay a vote. if the palestinians go forward in offering their petition for statehood for an observer's seat, that would be good. >> why is america adamant it would veto about? why is it so against doing this to the united nations? with the theory is that the two parties should be able to negotiate a peace agreement between themselves. they have not shown the capacity to do so. president obama has heavily engaged in diplomacy to try to get the parties together. that said, there is a dismay from most palestinians about the future for negotiations. the arab spring is c

down and not put them in a position to cast a veto russia is trying to help as much as part of the mideast peace quartet it's called is not only israel on the promise to the negotiating table to. but what happens. well that's a good question. it happened palestinian president mahmoud abbas said he would return to negotiations only only if israel halt settlement construction and since that has not happened and since this 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 you mentioned russia as a part of the quartet russia the u.s. u.n. and e.u. russia as one of the many countries at the u.n. that said they would support the palestinian bid for un membership and stay put at statehood 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

to violence on the west bank border culminating in clashes between police and palestinians artie's mideast correspondent paula slayer picks up the story. and historic moment after decades of struggle tens of thousands celebrate across palestine after pleasant mahmoud abbas submitted requests to the united nations to recognize a palestinian state but as feared it wasn't all cheers alongside the celebrations violence clashes have erupted across the west bank as fears grow of a third intifada we're here in ramallah where there is a standoff between the israeli army and palestinian protesters just a short distance down the road there are tie is burning everywhere the army is also using a new found device known as the scream which unbearable sound now b. situation here is very very tense be clashes have. right across the west bank one palestinian has been killed now what we understand happened is that country one hundred israeli settlers started burning the trees belonging to palestinians in the village the army was called in and the result was one palestinian shot and killed in the mix. for mo

and it's been helping ten thousand seven hundred died from a crackdown began mideast peace and i can tell so you can he says. stuff from the rulers of foreign countries financing the opposition. well i think the mosque has already proven that that is very serious about instigating reform has initiated a series of regulations regarding 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 kirk especially and other groups working on their ground so i don't know what to define as the military and the runs them 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. some more world news now this hour a powerful typhoon nesat has struck the philippines bringing monsoon rains and strong winds to the flooded parts of the capital at least twelve people including children have

the last of the law has been corrupted by the banks as well as we got corrupt no laws all over the mideast who are a micro financing things you're totally in violation of shariah law is that what's going on we do have the moms who issue. who issued who declared indeed some forms of usury is acceptable according to our interpretation of islamic law which of course the one raises your eyebrows when this is happening but i have roused way up well i mean i mean i think jamie guy may interpret it in the qur'an in this way but the emotions are supposed to be you know stick it to the to the plan here and like any industry which has their annual conference in many cases in las vegas you have similar kinds of gatherings of international companies as well as local companies our english is potential managers who will help manage and reassert and redirect financial wealth through the hands of the needy people of yemen has turned out to be like very much a trojan horse as you suggest and i suggest that a lot of the violence that's happening now in yemen is not has nothing to do with tribal alliances or

but although america and israel seem absolutely determined to block at every step of the way the mideast quartet has called for peace talks to resume within a month and and reach an agreement by the end of next year but now the beauty is in i will palestinians agree to go back to the negotiating table it hasn't on the much good in the past. well let me tell you something as far as the national campaign for palestine state one nine four is concerned and the public opinion really and we heard it again reiterated by the palestinian president going back to negotiations is not something palestinians oppose on principle but if we go back to negotiations with our occupiers and that's what israel is without any terms of reference without israel clearly committing to international law clearly committing to its obligations according to international law and relevant u.n. resolutions then it's purely pointless the quartet has fallen short of that they have really not met their obligations towards the keeping international peace and security in the region they have not defined the terms of reference

say main platform of president made he also spoke about the situation in north africa and in the mideast saying that countries shouldn't. push forward and try to teach other countries really in one word or another how to build a democracy it's something that has to come from within and of course he was talking about the situation in libya and syria and that's something that has really been a big topic today for him again multiculturalism in its failure really we've heard from plenty of critics over the past couple of months that it's just not working you know europe we've seen violence on the streets of western europe this is something that experts analysts and leaders have been discussing. for. right well thank you very much for that to me some reporting there from the global policy forum. now a russian a pilot who was convicted of drug smuggling earlier this year has been sentenced to twenty years in prison by a us court. was arrested in liberia in two thousand and ten and transported to the u.s. moscow says his arrest and rendition or illegal. explains. this case builds a major preced

council wouldn't vote on it right away this would allow a little leverage it would allow time for the mideast quartet which is the european union russia the u.s. and the u.n. to try to convince israel and palestine to get back to the negotiation table and this way it doesn't put anybody in a bad position because if there's a vote in the general assembly israel will likely be isolated if the u.s. casts a veto it will face heavy criticism on among the arab world but if the president of palestine backs away from this campaign he could face heavy criticism from all the palestinians and all of the states around the world that are supporting his campaign for u.n. membership so right now there are talks about how everyone can get out of this saving face but as of now a lot of people are working around the clock to see how the story will develop while palestinian leaders are battling for u.n. recognition at the u.n. thousands of palestinians have poured onto the streets across the west bank in support schools businesses and government offices all shut down during the day marked by this fear of celebr

. >> reporter: president obama has put a lot on the line pursuing mideast peace, pushing both sides, perhaps most publicly israel, to make concessions. so far, all for naught. abbas now feels he has to do something. but white house officials say granting palestinian statehood now will complicate prospects for peace, immediately turning israel into a country occupying a sovereign nation. so the u.s. has vowed to veto the palestinian effort to statehood, a move that officials in the u.s. and abroad fear could end up in bloodshed. >> translator: who could doubt that a veto in the security council would not risk engendering a cycle of violence in the middle east? who could doubt that? >> reporter: palestinians say they're not trying to join the mafia. they're not trying to join al qaeda. they're trying to join the united nations. so, diane, they will plan and plod along and they want this resolution in the united nations security council. >> vote by? >> reporter: at the very earliest, friday. >> friday the results will be in. thank you, jake. and i know you saw our footnote tonight. one
