activity trampled on palestinian rights. but he also said that israel had a right to security guarantees. >> it's up to you to make peace we can only encourage you and support you and tell you what are for us the princ principles. two states for two people living side by side in peace and security. with both states secure and recognized borders based on those of 1967 but with the possibility of land swawps and a international mechanism for compensation. >> the lingering belief is the negotiation process is on the sideline of the visit on his return to israel the french president will shift his focus on to the question of iran. >> and indeed in his address the french president again uttered the word that israel wanted to

heating. if they become over heated the highly radioactive substances can be released into the atmosphere. >> the removal process will continue until the end of next year and the entire decommissioning process is to last three decade but that is provided that everything goes as plan, with no accidents or other problems along the way. since the disaster they have made a series of mistakes. contaminated water has leaked from the plant and into the ocean. the company has been criticized for a lack of transpashsy. tran. before the start of this operation there have been fuel rods that have been damaged long before the disas at the. disas -- disaster. >> there are many fuel rods with pin hole cracks and many that are bent. >> it's not a view shared by other nuclear experts.

are on line, and it's not - it's not just twitter, what has happened through social media and the anonymity of the net is that you see websites, hate-filled websites targetting all sorts of groups, popping up. there has been a huge number of those that exist as well. consider this: the news of the day plus so much more. >> we begin with the government shutdown. >> answers to the questions no one else will ask. >> it seems like they can't agree to anything in washington no matter what. >> antonio mora, award winning and hard hitting. >> we've heard you talk about the history of suicide in your family. >> there's no status quo, just the bottom line. >> but, what about buying shares in a professional athlete?

lake ba basins and indicating te presence of water. >> the planet has temperatures of negative 64° fahrenheit does not support water and has a thin atmosphere. the goal is to learn what may have caused a drastic climate change. how do they lose their water or atmosphere. >> mars is a complicated system. we have gonebeyond the ability to look at one part of the planet and learn everything there is to know about the planet. >> on board are eight science instruments to measure the atmosphere. if all goes well they will begin their orbiting research next september. and to give you some sort of idea of the size of the ma maven once it's up there on mars doing
