>> mahmoud abbas insists that the application offers a way out of years of bloodshed. israel sees it as an obstacle to a solution. >> the truth is that we cannot achieve peace through u.n. resolutions but only through negotiations between the parties. the truth is that so far the palestinians have refused to negotiate. the truth is that israel wants peace with that palestinian state the palestinians want a state without peace. >> some palestinians have clashed with israeli security forces. and the worst incident, israeli forces shot dead a palestinian in a confrontation apparently involving jewish settlers. they say that it will hinder, not help, negotiating a settlement. the netted nations has played a big role before. israel's own independence follow this but at the u.n.. -- bthe united nations has played a big role before. in 1957, the u.n. recommended switching palestine to a jewish state and a palestinian state with jerusalem kept under international control. in 1958, israel fought for and won independence. palestinians want a state held on land that they held bef

i think basically mahmoud abbas rolled the dice.e feels this is his obligation at this point in time. >> and what do you think the obama administration should do next? what should president obama do to try to get the israelis and the palestinians back together negotiating? >> i think president obama was really, in my opinion, very -- there was a kind of presumption on history. he came in with this conviction that he's going to succeed where 11 of his predecessors, kounted them from harry truman to barack obama, 11 of his predecessors had given the israeli/palestinian conflict a try and had failed. president obama believed he could troansform this conflict, solve it. he even said to so in his speech to the u.n. >> 11 of his predecessors could not do what he also vowed to do. thank you so much for joining us. obviously we'll be watching very closely what abbas and netanyahu both have to say this afternoon. >>> all the turmoil in the west bank right now comes down to what actually happens today at the u.n. we're going to be hearing fro

palestinian president mahmoud hamas -- mach mod abbas -- mahmoud abbas and benjamin netanyahu each had roughly an hour to stake out their positions. the u.s. has pledged to use its veto. abbas knows the application is doomed to failure and so he reaffirmed his willingness to negotiate. >> on behalf of the palestinian people and the plo, we extend our hands to the israeli government and the people for peacemaking. the truth is that in the middle east at all times, but especially in these turbulent days, peace must be anchored in security. the truth is we cannot achieve peace 3 yuen resolution, but only through direct negotiation the jig peace through un resolutions, but only through direct -- peace through un resolutions, but only through direct negotiations between both parties. >> settlement activities embody the core of a colonial, military occupation of the land of the palestinian people. and all of the brutal aggression and racial discrimination against our people that this policy entails. >> the core of the conflict is not the settlements. the settlements are a result of the confl

mahmoud abbas is facing some powerful opposition to this bid. find out how far along leaders are in this negotiation process -- we spoke to our correspondent in new york and asked him how much room mahmoud abbas has to maneuver. >> that is really hard to say, but at least he has given himself some time. he could have presented the bid officially monday morning when he met with the u.n. general secretary but he did not come up so he left himself time until friday and in between he will meet with a lot of heads of state, head of government, maybe even including the american of president obama although there is no bilateral meeting planned. they will probably meet on the sidelines of one or the other events that is taking place here. there is a lot at stake for the palestinians, including $500 million that the americans disperse annually in aid and many politicians already said they would do everything and their power to stop the aid if the palestinians really go for full statehood here at the u.n. >> that was a vw -- dw correspondent reporting ear

the person that was their champion in iran was mahmoud ahmadinejad. he was trying to win their release. this case prolonged much longer than it should. >> it is a fascinating to watch the last couple of weeks. you have mom -- you have mahmoud ahmadinejad say that they will be released and then the court said that they would not sanction that timetable. it looks almost as though ahmadinejad was undermined by members of his own government. >> i think that is right. the real power in iran belongs to the supreme leader. he has an interesting model of ruling. he likes to wield power without accountability. in order for a supreme leader to wield power without accountability, he needs a president like ahmadinejad. this is a delicate balance which he must strike. on the one hand, he really wanted to be emasculate ahmadinejad on the domestic conflict. i don't think that he would like to render him totally impotent. if he is rendered an impotent lame duck, it is hard for ahmadinejad to assume responsibility. we have to know that these two young men would have n

well the speech of the palestinian leader mahmoud abbas to the u.n. has been received with a standing ovation he just finished in fact of his report i listened she joins us now with some comment on that from new york hi there i mean emotional scenes witnessed of the u.s. how was the speech received. well kevin it was emotional as you say you said he received a standing ovation at the end in the beginning he received applause and a standing ovation for it that lasted about a minute the entire general assembly hall was clapping as the palestinian president mahmoud abbas walked in it is reported that the israeli foreign minister avigdor lieberman walked out when the palestinian president walked in in what was about a forty minute speech he talked about the fact that the arab spring reaffirmed the quest for democracy among the arab world and the time has now come for the poly palestinian spring for independence for palestine he said that he had a mission we submitted an application for the admission of palestine on the basis of the june fourth one thousan

it came up during an interview of the iranian leader mahmoud ahmadinejad by our own ann curry who pressed him on the subject. ann is here in the studio for the end of this chapter. ann? >> that's right, brian. good evening. it was a very emotional day for two young americans and their families, a day for everyone to breathe a sigh of relief. finally, long awaited joy as the jet landed in oman. shane bauer and josh fattal ran down the steps to a crush of waiting families and news cameras. free men after 781 days in an iranian prison. >> we are so happy we are free and so relieved we are free. >> two years in prison is too long. >> reporter: convicted last month of crossing the border illegally and spying and sentenced to eight more years. earlier today they were rushed from iran's capital with the help of the swiss ambassador to iran. >> they are leaving right now and i am very, very grateful for this. it has been a long time for them. we have done a lot of work. >> reporter: the families of shane and josh released a statement. today can only be described as the best day of our lives. we n

there were actually two mahmoud walkouts in 2010. a few months before that one you just saw there was ahmadinejad starting another speech at the u.n., this time wearing glasses. and then look at that, yep, there they go. there go all the diplomats. this is sort of the diplomatic equivalent of a one finger, middle finger salute. everybody sort of pensivelypack packs up their briefcases and then they try to plan their means of walking out of the room so that it is as ostentatious as possible. never walk away from the podium, for example, when you can walk toward it before breaking to one side to leave the room. of course, nothing will ever top the mahmoud walkout day from 2009. this was also at the u.n. but it was in geneva. i don't know if it's just that room or whatever, but mahmoud walkout in geneva 2009 was perfect. >> for the dire consequences. [ cheers and applause ] >> that was definitely the best walkout ever. the guy stopping and taking a picture of him from like three feet away from him at the end of the aisle, oh, i love the

now reporting there as mahmoud abbas presented his case of the un enormous crowds a lot of the streets of ramallah and across the palestinian territories to worsen his policy reports what began as joy celebration was soon marred by clashes. well because you know overwhelming support among palestinians for this is started good for statehood at the united nations they have been said abrasions for the last few hours here in ramallah as well as in the all the major palestinian cities in hebron nablus bethink him to carmen what those palestinians that i've been talking to by and large say is that they feel that years and decades of struggle have finally borne fruit and this is good at the united nations is that food really for palestinians it's a done deal but certainly changes all running high on both sides of the borders both the israelis and palestinians are concerned that what we saw today is just the beginning of what will come in the next days and months and what we saw was one palestinian killed in clashes between palestinians and say this there are reports of israelis who have been

think mahmoud ahmadinejad is in total control.nd what your interviews shows is there is push-pull with the judiciary and he does not have complete control, clearly he wants to deliver the big gift but i'm not sure he'll be able to do it. and the story that changes, i don't think it is because they are strategically trying to play games, there is a power struggle back in iran. >> eric: and you you have been an observer and served at the u.n. ambassadors for years and what does mahmoud ahmadinejad get out of the visit? he'll be here all week, he'll have another speech in front of the general assembly again, why is it meaningful for him to come here and use this as his pulpit for the world? >> he gets a lot of free press. he gets all of the western media are fawning over him, trying to get interviews and he goes to columbia and really has a platform. you cannot blame him for trying to do a complete spin job at the u.n. it is a friendly territory at the u.n. for him. he's treated like a real president with rational thought and that is

saying a moment ago the issue of postponing the vote here we now hear from the palestinian leader mahmoud abbas not going to push for the instant vote which could mean it could be delayed for months how do you read that is that a case of downplaying the issue or is it just the way of actually stopping washington from vetoing a vote which hasn't voted on. i think it would be a step backwards where the application to be registered and then not approved i think the palestinian delegation have clearly we adopt the best way forward for themselves and for the people they want world approval they have majority support i'm sure from countries around the world but of course israel and the usa don't sign up to the deal then it really could end up not just being meaningless it could provoke a violent reaction which would not suit anybody's purposes because the whole peace process is to try and avoid for the violence i hope that the palestinians being able to demonstrate how much and so on are still support they have will bring pressure to bear on president obama and he will return to his commitment
