the rest of the country. with russia and from around the world this is r.t. here in moscow twenty four hours a day good to have you with us this hour. dmitri medvedev has reiterated russia's commitment to back a palestinian state with a capital in east jerusalem during his middle east tour the initial plan for the top was to hold talks with israel as well but this was spoiled when its officials went on strike leading to the visits cancellation. has more now from jericho. the palestinian officials have already described it as historic first and foremost because it allows russia to make a political statement to make sure me that it has not the first russian leader to visit india policy in territories pushing the us here back in two thousand and five

but even if it is the first ever russian leader to come to the west bank bypassing israel and he read to rated stress this fact during his news conference rich received a very very loud of applause from the palestinian officials and journalists to present here now medvedev also said that the russian position on the palestinian cause hasn't changed the soviet union was one of the first countries in the world to recognize the state of palestine in the within the nine hundred sixty seven borders with a capital in is jerusalem and with it is said that russia is still committed to making everything possible to bring these scenarios about here's exactly what he said on the issue. russia's position stays the same we made a choice at the end of the 1980's we've been back and we will be back in the rights of palestinians to create their own state independent united sustainable with the

capital east. ever since these really palestinian talks broke down back in fall of two thousand and eight abbas has been working behind the scenes to drum up international support for the recognition of the palestinian statehood and most recently he secured support from several latin american countries including brazil and argentina and it is expected that the palestinian authority will bring up this issue for a vote at all i did the u.n. general assembly all of the u.n. security council later on this year or so how the president medvedev the president of russia reach holds power in the security council making such statements in the palestinian territories is extremely important and extremely supportive for the palestinian cause most recent. ever since i would say the early ninety's ninety's mosco was trying to play it both ways and was trying to maintain workable relations with both israel and the palestinian authority and initially these middle eastern

truth was. expected to bring president medvedev both to israel and to policy issues but he's a palestinian church officials say but he's israeli chief was canceled at the very last moment because of the strike at the israeli foreign ministry and it needs to be sad that both countries tried to. play any harm that may have been caused by these consolation in fact the israeli minister and israeli president shimon peres said the president will be expected in the welcomed in israel at any time once the strike is over and he also agreed to meet and hold negotiations with president medvedev later on this year the international economic forum in davos so both both countries try to downplay any harm that may have been caused and present a bit of again said that he is looking forward to making this trip to israel

sometime later. the secretary general of the palestinian national initiative paula he says there's no excuse for israel's cancellation of the russian president's visit. the issue of the strike of the foreign ministry is not a justification by any means the prime minister of israel could have arranged a visit. the security apparatus is so big and is that this would not be a problem today surely it is that about. a feeling of superiority in israel a feeling of guns and impunity to international law that makes israel behave in such a manner with the leader of one of the most important countries in the world and i think that is the reason here which is a political one way or the israeli government knows that its policy is counterproductive devalue needed many european countries that are leading from most countries of the world devalue need to an american countries. need to many people

even inside the united states so that also applies but i share which is seeking to have a more active role in. the quartet and israel wants to block that russia is the only country in the court that has that equal denies the palestinian state back in one thousand eighty eight so there is no reason why russia through the accept to be paralyzed and put on the shelf for more than two years is that within the park it's because the united states is monopolizing in the process and the united states' policy is totally subjected to the israeli manipulation and i think things have reached a point where there isn't any policies even here to the american strategic and that's why mr obama tried to make some connection when he spoke about settlements and so on but he failed. in the next hour we speak to a palestinian negotiator who says after america's failure russia could help reach a breakthrough in the middle east peace talks. but to try to convince netanyahu to stop further occupation through building new settlements at the gaza blockade to

stop the measures they're taking in jerusalem and the americans failed to do this they admitted and now put more pressure on our strong to bring us back to the negotiating table that in you know who uses the current government as an excuse saying he cannot make a decision under this government russia recognize the independent palestinian state in one hundred eighty eight with a nine hundred sixty seven borders with its capital in jerusalem and never denied that decision in other words many things show that russia is serious about its intentions it keeps reminding the world about the decisions that have been made before but enough forgotten a. potent internal ministry says russian air traffic controllers were involved in the plane crash that killed president kaczynski the full report of the tragedy is due to be presented in february and now he has more now on the latest developments. these are the first steps and statements from polish officials in their investigation into

the plane crash that killed president lech kaczynski it's just a week it has to be said after the interstate aviation committee presented their final report which found that an inexperienced polish crew bad weather and also pressure from high ranking officials on board ultimately led to the tragedy poland found this on except a boat that's despite it internationally being deemed as accurate and thorough now it looks like the polish side is going to try to prove that russian air traffic controllers were to blame that's going to be a difficult task for them because according to international aviation law first of all any decision on a final landing lies with the pilot and his crew but also air traffic controllers can only advise they can't deny all minding flocked of that. we have not found any evidence that the air traffic controllers were pressured the supervisor of the landing zone gave information about the plane's location as it was indicated on the radar monitor they were allowed to go down to the heights of one hundred meters

they were not given permission to land. now in response to this news from poland the interstate aviation committee announced that they would make public the cockpit recordings in full obviously they believe that there's proof there that the air traffic controllers aren't to blame and the family of the late polish president first of all denied the findings of the interstate aviation committee ah but also pretty much blatantly blames russia for the death of president kaczynski in fact his son in law it said that the plane crash was a planned assassination in revenge against the chintz and to russian rhetoric and also to prevent him from being reelected but we've been speaking to international experts and analysts some who say that anyone in poland that supports these kind of accusations but hasn't been able to break with past stereotypes. in the political. life there is a notion to who are they also people. you cannot leave without having an enemy in

the polish going towards one with germany and one with russia and it is very difficult some people go out to a new situation where you actually try to change it to aggression into cooperation and this is what this company the polish side has to present its final report by time yuri so it could be quite a while before this case really does come to any kind of close. reporting there and still to come in the program some useful fortunetelling tips as russian celebrate the twelfth night of christmas. looking into the future if you want to find out what awaits you in two thousand and eleven join us for a traditional russian fortune telling. first public fury is growing in the u.k. where the biggest banks there are planning to pay out billions of dollars in bonuses to some stuff the cash bonanza comes after many banks were bailed out by taxpayers' money and. public sector cuts across the crisis hit economy and it has

more. this is. the homeless and needy queue up for food handouts from charities all over london and the u.k. but just a few miles away it's a different world with different rules prime minister david cameron has shied away from regulating bankers' bonuses they might have to be a bit more open about them but pay because there will be no windfall tax there was more. i think needs to be and bankers have taken that to heart u.k. banks including some of those bailed out by taxpayers last year will be paying out eleven billion dollars to their staff. here on the street where the needy live literally from hand to mouth down badly.

and he's not the only one complaining last year saw thousands of students out on the streets demonstrating against austerity cuts about by global crisis triggered by reckless bankers now the right to work campaign is calling for a fresh wave of protests against what they're dubbing the government surrender to the bankers and their huge paychecks are basically i think that they're mad about his bonus and seem especially when they're people struggling to even pay their rent to even feed and clothe their children when people are getting three pounds three million pounds bonus is quite frankly excessive just to disgusting amount of money taxpayer lobby groups say they don't care what privately owned banks do but the ones that have been bailed out with taxpayer money have to show some restraint can't possibly be expected to stomach at a time when the government's making spending cuts to stomach these enormous bonus payouts and to watch all this go on when these banks seem to forget that it was the

public's money that saved them but not everyone. sees it that way. financial services says banks are still vital in supporting economic recovery and they hate the best bankers will move elsewhere it's crucial that the banking sectors around the world. economies are getting healthier. but house on the street depend on charity to put food in. difficult to stomach. backtrack. from the financial crisis just a few miles away. and looks set to be able to go on. but this time they're doing it with taxpayer money which could have been used to help. euro zone governments. of the e.u.

bailout fund which was set up last year the discussion on whether to boost the facility took place at a two day summit in brussels the european commission and european central bank want to widen the if struggling euro zone. finance minister wants the one point five trillion euros. the biggest. increase. of the european parliament and leader of the independence party says the whole idea of the euro zone was wrong from the very beginning. i think what they're doing here is they're reinforcing failure at the end of the day like greece and portugal. should never of joined the euro in the first place trapped inside the economic. policies that. build up in the morning. and this really is a tragedy because these people. we have.

actually killed on the streets. if they hold the eurozone together. those countries are going to get worse and what it really needs is a frank assessment which is there is an argument. with germany holland and a few countries possibly france as well but there is an optimal. but can work together for the north and south of europe to be stuck inside a monetary union is never ever going to work but nobody inside these institutions wants to face up to with the e.c.b. buying up its debt and now with this with this agreement in brussels that the stability of doing the same thing you know you begin to ask. down the track will the european central bank itself actually be. a liquid functioning. all we are doing here we're reinforcing failure decision is quite extraordinary i

mean it's rather like boarding the titanic after it hit the iceberg it is the most incredible. look what you've got here behind this whole european project when we talk about the unit itself although we talk about the current say we have a political class who want this you know even countries like switzerland who very sensibly have stayed outside the union who have. free trade agreements with it even in those countries a majority of politicians would sign them up for all of this stuff so that's the great battle that is going on in europe it's a battle between the political leaders and public opinion which increasingly is saying we don't want this there in the end public opinion is going to win because you can't build a state and that's what we're doing here without having the consent of the peoples and that has never been asked for. and as the e.u. gets to grips with its financial chaos china is offering to lend the troubled euro

bloc a helping current in his latest program max keiser looks at just why beijing is doing it because the report is coming your way later today you're naughty. let me make this following projection china is buying european bonds. why are they doing this i think it's because at some point they will demand payment in the form of gold you know in the european zone there are about eleven thousand tons of gold which would be the highest concentration of gold in the world higher than even the u.s. is eight thousand tons of gold china moving into europe buying those bonds of course europeans will never be able to pay off those bonds because their economies are in freefall and then china will turn around and say ok you can pay us back in euros but we'll take the payment and gold. and now for a brief look at some other major headlines from around the world the prime minister and the interim is one day old unity government but both resigned from the former
