believe that this is really just the conflict between the palestinians and israel when in fact this is a geo political conflict where the us and israel are together reshaping the facts on the ground in order to create a new status quo where palestinians live under subjugation permanently we should not make the mistake of pointing to the trumpet ministration as being the final death now the us administration has played this role for over fifty years and we should hold the obama administration bush administration the clinton administration the president should ministration and so on and so forth accountable for these present day circumstances this should compel us to not just oppose what the us is doing to not just impose sanctions upon israel for practicing apartheid but to internationalize the question of palestine once and for all and to take it out of the backwaters of bilateral negotiations where it facilitates where it facilitates the entrenchment of the status quo and making the subjugation of palestinians a permanent condition we're going to leave it on that excellent point of course the story is far from over so we

whom women come out of the us and israel only follow their own interests and goals to achieve they use the cover of chemical weapons i think it is very shims the us and israel skew world public opinion the same time without stopping them we found out that the nerves were destroyed and the vein was cut off abbott's heart stopped beating twice the doctor came out asking for us to let brothers in but asked me to stay outside because the door and took my sons aside to talk to them then they came out crying and weeping i told them that i knew he was that it was an explosive bullet i could see from his injuries that he would not survive. the type of ammunition we heard about that explodes on impact with the body is designed to cause severe damage and even death meanwhile the boy's sister and witnesses say he meant no harm. then the leg he always went to the demonstrations and he kept asking him not to go he was just a child what did he do in. the dark i made to can stand for the dignity and freedom that was taken away from him he delivered his message peacefully and all the videos show that

means you've got russia china germany on one side of the geopolitical game board you've got the us israel saudi arabia on another side britain is left out now because there are exiting the global commerce market they're going to disappear in a few years and that'll such a sacred place for centuries and i think that with china leading the way toward trying to build their way toward friendship versus the u.s. model of bombing the u.s. really has to start tap dancing to a different tune if they want to participate or be left out. of barcelona now where you can't run separatists have been an out and force and the spanish region people took to the streets tomorrow council audience national day almost a year on from the independence referendum and they can't run parliament you know rush declaration of independence according to some ask the main zone list a million cattle and. attended to at least celebration the decision of back in october twenty seven thousand propel the country into a constitutional crisis and was declared in the go. i am. happy. to those in charge in the council on governmen

tonight here in moscow thanks for joining us this is r.t. internet. israel is to blame for the downing of a russian military plane off the coast of syria that's according to the russian defense ministry is claiming that the israeli air force used the i o. twenty as cover from syrian air defenses missiles from which hit the russian plying fifteen crew members died as a result for israeli fighter jets have been targeting syrian facilities in the taqiyya province at the time. so now suppose it would help on the seventeenth of september at around ten pm for israeli fighter jets launched guided bombs on syrian military facilities in the city over the taqiyya the bombing occurred in the immediate vicinity of where the russian aisle twenty was coming in to land the israeli jets deliberately created a dangerous situation the israeli pilots used the russian plane as cover against the syrian air defense systems as a result the russian oil twenty was brought down by a syrian air defense missile there's no way the israeli pilots could not have seen the russian plane. is

used chemical weapons. some claim that saudi arabia, and i think it's been pretty well acknowledged that israel used white phosphorus. who exactly would prosecute any of these governments if they did these things? on a completely unrelated question. if we do want national sovereignty, why is the united states still in as a member of the united nations? >> well, with respect to the second question, you know, jean kirkpatrick was once asked, why weren't they not a member? because it's not worth the trouble. only jean could come up with an answer like that. i have to say -- look, i don't think in significant respects most of the u.n. system posed a sovereignty problem to the united states. i think there are aspects of the u.n. system that do pose sovereignty problems such as the u.n. human rights council and the high commissioner for human rights, which is one of the reasons why he u.s. withdrew the human rights council and will defund he high commissioner's office. >> as long as we have the veto in the security council and the veto can be taken away by an amendment by to the u.n. charter which requires the consent of

and you know, of course, the un general assembly voted, i think it was 120—8, to condemn israel for its usein the clashes we have seen in recent months. we've had the international criminal court saying that it wants a preliminary examination of what israel has been doing. we've had widespread condemnation from european leaders, many of whom regard themselves as close friends and partners of israel. what would you say, given all of that condemnation, what would you say that israel has achieved in those five months, in which 170 palestinians have been killed ? well, you can speak about achievements. we had no intentions to see the escalation of this. we said that very clearly. we seek peace, period. we protected our border. we had no intention to kill anyone, and you should ask the hamas what they achieved by sending innocent people — some of them were innocent, but most of them were members of hamas, and they claimed it themselves, that they sent them to the border. what did they achieve? and by the way, let's not forget the context, stephen. it all happened after the us administration deci

tribute to all freedom loving countries and peoples and marchers and i would like to israell palestinians, considers us as criminals. why? in israel there are thousands who used to assault everybody and they are considered heroes. why is that who killed rabin is a euro while our people are criminals. i pay tribute to our hero marchers. alluld like to tell you that soon freedom and independence will shine and occupation will go into the darkness of history. and peace be upon you. >> the chinese foreign minister discovers the annual address talking by china's relationship with the united states. this is 20 minutes. president every september global attention focused on the united nations on the state assembly hall. people watch mostly what is happening hoping that the you and would deliver to the world peace, development, harmony and prosperi

your craft has moved the embassy following in the footsteps of the us israel's high court has approved the demolition of the palestinian village of qana lama in the occupied west bank israel says the village was built illegally the un the e.u. and rights groups of oppose the move saying it enables israeli settlement expansion which would cut the occupied west bank into at least twenty people have been killed and sixty others injured in twin explosions in afghanistan's capital kabul a suicide bomber blew himself up inside a sports hall in a neighborhood which has a large shia population a car packed with explosives was detonated shortly after the taliban has denied carrying out the attack yemen's u.n. sponsored peace talks have been delayed until friday after hoofy rebels say they were prevented from flying to geneva going to the who thiis the u.n. was meant to evacuate injured civilians to amman for medical treatment for the saudi led coalition did not authorize a larger plane there's a top stories the stream is up next to stay with us i'll be back with more new

as we've said on many occasions a guarantee to us publicly that israel's going to. preserve the conflicting channel with us just as the one we have with the u.s. which will make sure that those and this is what we believe is the basically demands from the u.s. at the moment of the year but when israel expressed. you said that. given the go on there are iranian troops near the golan heights and borders that we've reached an agreement because by the time this our them discolorations on was freed from terrorists the iranian troops were removed by about one hundred kilometers more than one hundred kilometers from that point by that time and. and the syrian troops were the ones. controlling those territories near the golan heights they're. probably. your fish holes and un observers came there and so everything that's been said by israel in terms of the way it's worry it's about it's security near the golan heights is has been eliminated by us we've done what we've promised to do that and unfortunately your american american colleagues and i already spoke about.

israel. you can reach me on twitter — i'm @nkem|fejika. well, the weekend's upon us the country over the next couple of days. some warmth, summerlike warmth. in fact, temperatures could get up into the mid—20s. the nights are drawing in, the days are getting shorter and any warmth that we do get, we really should make the most of it. so let's see what's happening then into the weekend, high pressure's very close to the uk, so that means settled weather conditions, but there are weather fronts very close to our neighbourhood. they will be nudging in later in the weekend, possibly bringing some rain to north—western areas. but before that happens, we've got that warmth being drawn in from the south, from spain, portugal, france as well and, as i say, temperatures will be well into the twenties. this is what it looks like through the rest of the night into the early hours of saturday morning, clear skies across many eastern and central areas so here there will be a nip in the air very early in the morning. temperatures dipping down to single figures. not as cold as last
