two thirty pm in moscow good to have you with us here on our t.v.'s in your headlines former russian tycoon mikhail khodorkovsky awaiting sentence after being convicted of embezzling oil and profits it's the second trial performer ahead of the oil giant yukos who's already in prison for tax evasion and fraud. moscow's freezing rain grounds hundreds of flights leaving thousands stranded frustrated passenger passengers have reportedly been staging protests and even tried to break through passport control at one. and two years after israel's deadly offensive people in gaza are still struggling to cope with life under siege gazan say the

blockade has not eased and many people can't get basic supplies. russia's deputy foreign minister recently visited the middle east up next he tells r.t. that it's time for the world community to fully step up to the plate to get the peace talks between israelis and palestinians back on track. mr sultan of you recently visited syria and lebanon where you met the leaders of these two countries you also met how it must show in damascus where you said that israel settlement policy in the occupied arab lands was the main stumbling point to the resumption of palestinian israeli talks does russia have a clear vision of how to get out of a situation like that. it's true that israel settlement policy in the occupied outer blonds has become an obstacle to the resumption of direct palestinian israeli talks i should say that the present

situation has shown the need for the international community to step up its participation and assistance in the solution of the palestinian problem that it has become obvious that the way this problem used to be solved until recently and the means in the methods that we have turned out to be insufficient that is why russia is calling for a more active international effort or does it all a bad it's about increasing collective contribution to the peace process first and foremost it's necessary to increase the significance and raise the effectiveness of the international quartet of peace brokers that's exactly why we have called for the earliest convocation of a new ministerial meeting of the international court it with the aim of not only discussing the status quo but also for pondering jointly i'm profoundly involved should do to prevent the peace process from entering a critical stage we should see how we can make the quartet are more effectively in

what ways and to what means. so as to overcome the arising obstacles and prevent the settlement from being frustrated i think this meets the interests of all sides of israel and the palestinians in particular in the long run we're talking about the final settlement a settlement that would lead to the creation of an independent palestinian state naturally the security of israel and all the other countries in the region should be provided but time is required in this type of mobilization process if the aspirations of the palestinian people are to come true. ok mr sultan of russia has recently proposed convening a meeting of the international quartet do you think it's really going to take place or are you expecting any problems that he's going to play me. as

we can see from our contacts with special envoys who are members of this quartet really everybody is determined to hold such a meeting and have a serious discussion at the moment our task is to set the date and choose the venue for this gathering. russia seems to be greatly concerned with this problem do you think that the quartet should play a more profound role in the settlement in fact this means that weakening of the us stance after the latter refused to exert pressure on israel and make it stop its policy of building new settlements in the arab territories do you think that the quartet will be able to find a way out of the situation. to go to the whole situation is proving that the sole efforts by the united states are not enough to make progress russia's permanent approach in fact is that it's easier to find a solution to complex international problems through a collective approach who should be unbiased and should take a kind of the interest of all the parties involved in this or that conflict in the

conflict. do you think that the united states of america has exhausted its dawn of potential. no we don't think the united states is exhausted its potential simply speaking i have already said that the us possibilities should be complete with the possibilities of other key players outside the middle east region such as russia the united nations and the european union these should be combined in coordinated steps but we should think how to work the whole thing out and what kind of proposals we should make or. if you can affect it and you have you have been the recent calls of the russian leadership on the international community to unilaterally recognize a palestinian state within the boundaries of nine hundred sixty seven. but as you say would. first of all the main objection of the middle east settlement is to

create an independent palestinian state within the boundaries of one nine hundred sixty seven with possible territorial swaps this is a solution a formula which is accepted by the entire international community the fact that calls for the recognition of such a state have recently become more active is on the one hand indicative that a number of countries are dissatisfied with the current situation. on the other hand it underscores the inevitability of this ultimate goal of achieving peace and resuming the negotiating process. as you know shortly after the palestinians are names the creation of a palestinian state russia recognize the fact of this announcement and the palestinian state itself. the embassy of the state of palestine is located in moscow the russian embassy operates in the palestinian territories this makes it evident that russia and the palestinian side of

a common view of the fact that the palestinian people should have their. own state which should be recognized by the international community. but. israeli prime minister netanyahu issued instructions to all israeli diplomatic missions to exert pressure on all countries that are planning to recognize the palestinian state do you think that this will further aggravate the situation the nation with the. you know every state has a sovereign right to make its own decisions if a country decides to recognize a palestinian state it's a reality that should be reckoned with at the end of this that the pressure that as far as i know president medvedev is planning to visit israel and the palestinian territories in the near future many think it's going to be a historic visit to the palestinian lands will the russian president make any proposals to the middle east region business but if they should visit definitely he will dimitri medvedev is forthcoming visit to palestine israel and jordan is

a major political event. it will have great importance both for the region and for producing a positive impact on the current extremely complex situation in the middle east and certainly it will be important for our relations with palestine israel and jordan but the key one of the visits main goals is undoubtedly to contribute to the creation of favorable conditions for the resumption of movement towards peace comprehensive peace in the middle east and an atmosphere that would make this peace process irreversible the second vital aspect of this visit will naturally consist in strengthening our bilateral relations. russia has formed and developed friendly relations with the palestinians the israelis and the jordanians. cooperation in various fears is developing and we hope that the visit will give new impetus to this project. but going back to the quote search role i would like

to ask you about tony blair's role in the quartet the latest wiki leaks publications and avoid him do you think he should be replaced. i think that as the quartet special envoy he's carrying out a very important mission which primarily concerns assistance in finding a solution to the economic and social aspects of the situation in the palestinian territories well i think we should assess the effectiveness of his mission by the final result and is it to vicki's and therefore said directions the assessment should be made by all the parties in the quartet that either take part in it or have a direct interest in the quartet's work. but some of the sort of the united states and the european union have recently adopted a new pact of sanctions against iran do you think that iran is in fact taking steps to bring the position closer to the u.s.

special envoy george mitchell has recently made a trip to the region the members of the quartet and russia in particular i don't form the americans about the latest progress in the region george mitchell managed to achieve anything during his trip. unfortunately we still don't know anything about the results of mitchell's last trip but we hope that our american colleagues will brief us in greater detail on the trip and its outcome. and of my last question to you is anything going to change in the middle east in russia's view. well good out and i just i'm going to as the saying goes hope dies last we should have an objective view of the situation we shouldn't fall into despair but we shouldn't be too optimistic the most important thing is to take a scrutinizing book of the problems encountered by the peace process and work together to put our including the parties concerned i.e. israel and the tips towards the solution of these problems with an aim of achieving

our common goal which is i repeat a comprehensive palestinian israeli settlement would lead us to. kind of thank you very much for your insight you. wealthy british. markets why not. find out what's really happening to the global economy. for no holds barred look at the global financial headlines kaiser report.

and thank you for joining me for the sports news and here are the headlines. these on the fire chelsea suffered their first english premier league defeat against also for two years as the gunners go second for the three one win at the emirates. while the shootout defeats to them i must go on beaten by top better for the second time this season and missed the chance to go second in the k h l standings. russia's star cruiserweight denis lebedeff suffers a stunning first career defeat after a split decision against marco. let's start with football and also have ended their poor run against chelsea and boosted their own title credentials after winning three wanted home to the blues to go second in the english premier league just two points behind leaders manchester united. alex song five began as ahead on the

stroke of half time and after fifty one minutes the overall cost to access fabregas to make it to milk falling a mistake by michael essien and alice just two minutes later it was three male floral believe it was courting possession and fabregas said i will call it but it's not evanovich quickly headed in a d.d.a. drugs or free kick to give chelsea hope but also held on for an impressive win on call and i'm sure a lot of side now picks up just six points for the last eight games and stay for six points off the top spot. meanwhile here in russia a lot of moscow have started their pre-season early with new coach. saying reinforcements are needed for the next premier league campaign the forty seven year old has replaced to the showman who was sent to be end of last season after going in the wrong way meant to fifth spot around the europa league place to expound to sixth place in the last campaign has been costing his eyes over his new squad. most of the foreign stars including first choice strike at the eighty six for ups and

that has made it clear he wants to bring in some new faces. without question the team needs some reinforcements so they can come from the outside as well as from the inside and the internal so actually is the main thing we're focused on right now as well as getting players physically ready for the training camp. moving to the ice and i was going to have failed to go second in the kontinental hockey league after losing three two in a shootout that run vesting was home saw get the winning shot for the host the muscovite side had also just one no two thoughts in the previous games another not just luck on the t.v. had no problems in their picture at seven thousand they peaked in five goals to one in the moscow region dobby a double in size. to defeat the test came ice three nil. to american football now where the green bay packers have stayed on track for the n.f.l. playoffs after thrashing the struggling new york giants forty five seventeen at

home let's go straight to the second full term where the giants tied the game at fourteen old after manning through an eighty five yard touchdown pass to mario manningham thoughts all turned around in the next two quarters aaron rodgers back from a concussion and one yard touchdown pass to don't only extend the packers leach to thirty one seventy five minutes left in the third period and what just sealed the win the five yard t.v. pass junk you take away through the fourth to make it thirty eight seventeen to the high side green bay eventually went on to try forty five seventeen to meet a giants clinging to fading by all folks. there was a now about some game in chicago between the bears and then new york jets with the home side themselves in contention for a playoff by eventually winning and end to end game thirty eight points to thirty four chicago lead to ten mil at the end of the first quarter but squandered their

advantage to travel twenty one ten by the close of the second however the bears four back and going front thirty eight search won at the end of the third period and they held on to edge their opponents in the seventh grade in eight games despite the loss the jets did to conserve their playoff place to jacksonville north to washington. i would about see now where dennis negatives recent loss to reigning champion hockey still causing shock waves after russia's biggest hope in the cruiserweight division suffered his first ever defeat decision rabbits that the man reports. the last moments of the brown belt w b o cruiserweight belt at stake and then jump in marco hawk versus russia's big open division in east liberty not stepping back limited he's sure the title isn't he sounds not to want to force the issue but how do you know but the judge just sleep next to the controversial decision the general feeling was. clearly i.

suppose but i think of w b o experts will consider the video of the whole battle with the wood and early in the new year they will make a decision concerning a possible rematch between libby devon hug plus they will look to get explanations from the supervisor and have all three judges of the badges in written form vision but it's. a major disappointment his professional record is now twenty one wins and one loss however the thirty one year old is full so off we go what doesn't kill you makes you stronger. frankly speaking we overestimated hug right up to the end i expected him to push forward in iraq and that's why i just held myself back trying to save energy that's why i didn't hang on the ropes after the end of the fight i was still fit i wasn't exhausted at all. i was knocking at the door and the door open but i didn't come in it's just not this fight was all about herman i

could have finished it several times but i didn't go for it it was my mistake so i'm far from blaming anybody it's all up to me i was thinking over this about a lot i hope it made me stronger and more experienced i've learned much from this fight and i will do my best to become tougher it will different be. next time. got better than. the fact is that according to the world boxing rankings after winning this battle marco hawk who had been number one became number two while denis lebedev who lost still moved upwards in the rankings due to dennis is going to be true popularity since the fight we've already received one hundred seventy six letters just from germans who were totally bewildered at the judges' decision and wonder when they will see levodopa fight again today. according to lebanese manager but you have been north east may soon take part in a so-called super six tournament the competition between the top boxers of the cruiserweight division including market hard and there or anywhere else in

a rematch between these two is a matter of time. worth more than your r t. now the dakar rally the most prestigious and probably toughest driving insurance race in the world will start on january the first in what is aries and russia's six time we're now ready made check in now as the czar of dakar is one of the favorites consulting but that reports. well everybody will be recovering in new years the best cross-country drivers will be starting a sixteen day journey from boy in a circus however the commerce muster team is facing some problems before they have even started due to extreme weather conditions they're playing question while landing in moscow they had a footprint race press conference. he worked near did some earlier while landing at a moscow airport the plane had hardly touched the runway but it was so slippery that we slid into a field theaters thankfully no one was injured and everyone was very happy when we

finally reached the ground much international. however this incident hasn't affected the team's determination to win the dakar rally for the tenth time this is the thirty third edition of the legendary all for old willie and the third successive time it has been held in self america with a number of participants increasing dramatically over the past three years. and in their way of course he can better speak tried to seize the role of way way to washington d.c. how the route has been changed in the big wind desert summer how to calm a desert country living on a par with the famous epic in the desert where that used to take place. before only the two i come with a team has now added one more could this so-called team work for missing twenty six year old driver did what he got behind the wheel. go at it and i just played it is march first of all i need not break the truck then go the distance and get to the finish line safe and sound i have a lot to learn so i'll be keeping my eyes wide open it's my first trial. the first

from my mechanic as well as is going to be extremely hard at the same time basheer interesting to look at a new generation of two i was busily touré troll in the corner and herring in junior team is a new step for the good that has me in participating in the rally for eighteen years cheerfully. frankly we've never had any competition within our own team we have one aim for the team we must perform well with as many trucks to gain as many medals and muscle if we fight each other we could allow other teams to win our tactic is to win as a team and we help each other to achieve this which is a tactic we've been using through the years and we'll keep on doing it as we did in twenty tears the commerce team won the prestigious race for the ninth time in the top dog and his colleagues are determined to make it a tail between this here and same but out of. one finally there's some good news for russia. around professional after sports mr the telling what an ounce that

around one point four billion u.s. dollars was spent on sport across the country. the trick is that on the audience that would have had a state budget for twenty eleven forty three billion rubles will be spent on sport in general of course the bulk of it will be on a profession. sports so it was almost a third of that money will be spent to lambert's a sport for that right now we have around twenty five million people who do support on a regular basis is always and main goal is to increase this figure to twenty eight million. and that's all a sports news but this one isn't.
