question. a euro currency on the block as explains the value. called no euro that's what bankers a whispering off the police charge the now ex i.m.f. course with the attempted rape of a hotel maid very differently the possibility that some countries could decide to leave the euro pushed out of the euro and then when you got to understand that. belief that the euro could and should be saved in the face of north the resistance from richer states stroll scorned led this week's bailout of portugal germany and france insist on oil and raises its low corporation tax t.s.k. as he's known as the man all doing it's what is saving the irish economy i think these allegations are going to be. for the of the i.m.f. as an institution. is definitely going to be missed i think.

stroh's call and even persuaded greece's leader to stick with strict spending cuts disappoint roy it's on the streets but he has a good card so some of the heads of state governments are. different he has good contacts for example to the greek prime minister on thursday greece for more loans on better terms but no heavyweights europhile d s k has few back and not the bailouts were arguing that we should leave the euro zone that has put under strain the euro joiner is one of the imus top backers contributing tens of billions of euros he ruled it wants is an asian chief he's not likely to be friendly because he has been very personally very important in getting the i.m.f. involved and assisting in designing the bailout packages but also coaxing and encouraged. politicians to do the reforms necessary now you may not get the

equivalent of the same kind of convictions coming from the emerging markets when one of the world's biggest investment banks fell three years ago it triggered a global recession with still reeling from today but it's still the driving bureau chief stiction will only make matters worse the consequences probably would be higher and not sure that was for instance that the bankruptcy of lehman in two thousand and eight with a you economy that dates to all this it seems the top billing the world's leading banker comes at the worst possible time this is not just the end of a career domenic source code was instrumental in risk during the euro zone's most troubled state is a risk does seem to threaten the end of the euro itself i know bush will see paris . all the angles tracking developments in france and you can follow what he finds r r t's twitter stream where he says the majority of french people believe the former

i.m.f. chief arrest was a set up and that's according to a poll also on top of the story by following us back up to underscore coffee. it's good to get. how the strain is definitely showing in the us israeli relations after president obama called for a palestinian state with an at nineteen sixty seven borders and his middle east policy speech above call that has angered israel's prime minister who said it would make it impossible for his country to. protect itself well that's

a september the issue of will be subtle most of the disputed territories stalled peace talks with the palestinians and later on friday have been made netanyahu will president obama at the white house will artie's going to turkey joins us live from our washington bureau there what we heard some harsh rhetoric ahead of their meeting what are we expecting well you're right this thursday obama said something that many israelis would find unacceptable is suggested israel go back to its pretty nine hundred sixty seven borders and according to president obama that could be the starting point to negotiate land swap with the palestinians to create a new borders going back to nine hundred sixty seven would mean giving up the west jerusalem excuse me the west bank is crucial when they gather three israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu who will be meeting president obama later this afternoon sharply disagreed with the u.s. president said he wanted to see washington's commitment to decisions by congress

and president bush in two thousand and four that israel would not have to give up the occupied territory after the speech after you know the speech that obama gave yesterday it could be hard for him to feel such commitment at least publicly by the way he's the first u.s. president who was explicitly supported the idea of going back to the nine hundred sixty seven borders as the key to the peace process in the middle east. ok well it is obvious that obama is trying to revive the peace process that stalled last september but realistically what are the chances that he will actually succeed. well having said all this obama was nonetheless very very careful to say that the u.s. is slowly an advisor here that it is not going to force any decisions on israel because it is up to these really some palestinians to decide and so on and so forth so you basically cleared washington of any responsibility to act experts say washington's policy of nonintervention in the middle east peace process looks even more

inconsistent considering america's willingness to intervene in other places in the region making demands to be leaders pushing them to feel those demands and occasionally bombing those who don't but when it comes to israelis and palestinians there have been words before many words but never any action to really put the two state solution that president obama was talking about the fact that israel is the protectorate of the united states and that the israeli lobby is a very powerful here a base that even harder to expect a balanced approach from washington one example of words but not actions are the settlements the united states earlier this year vetoed a united nations security council resolution condemning continued israeli settlement expansion illegal that happened shortly after secretary say that secretary of state hillary clinton explicitly called those settlements illegitimate but when it came to actually teaming up with the international community to condemn

it the u.s. blocked the resolution the security council vote was fourteen countries in favor and one country against them that was the united states all right thank you very much for that to go to the reporting from the u.s. capital. now in his speech obama also said it colonel gadhafi has no control over libya and hours later nato hits eight legged warships i created a number of the country's ports will be alliance as the vessels were trying to prevent the delivery of aid into libya and posed a threat to allied forces will liberate officials denounced iraq obama's claims saying it's. the libyan people who should decide gadhafi spates obama also delivered an ultimatum to syria's president assad telling him to allow a power transition or get out brian becker from the antiwar answer coalition says it looks like the american is pushing for change in syria there may be a debate within the obama administration between those who want to overthrow the

syrian government and those who are afraid that whatever comes next after the assad government were to fall would be the stabilized syria or perhaps an even more hostile syria so there's a debate within the administration but i think the logical position is the united states would personally sanction. no new government but president and his closest advisors and offered him the option of either leaving the transition to democracy or being swept aside while it appears to be an alternative i think the organic tendency within the obama administration now is they carry out regime change in syria and i think those who favor regime change have gotten the upper hand within the administration. oh r t a dot com is where to go for reports and videos of the world's biggest stories and here is what's there for you right now muslims and christians of egypt joined together to try and put

a lid on the religious violence that's where about the breakup the country is revolution a lot of details are at party dot com. t.v. . now president dmitri medvedev has restated his concerns about american and nato led plans for a missile defense system on russia's borders well at a forum in st petersburg he called on the west to consider russia's interests to avoid a return to cold war style relations. lots of them go in twenty twenty new missile defense system will appear in europe there's agreement now on what it should be like in this case in twenty twenty we will have a modern europe well adjusted line. but if we do not agree what we will get will be

the europe of your early ninety's. i don't want to live in such europe i hope that neither do you russia has already said it intends to take action if the u.s. and nato plow ahead with their plan without taking moscow's views on board or the u.s. is moving ahead with plans to build a missile base in romania washington and the alliance say the shield will protect europe from missiles from countries like iran or north korea but russia sees it as a security threat and is insisting on an equal say in the project. i've honestly factions and hamas are coming to moscow for talks following their historic reconciliation well russia is hosting discussions between palestinian political forces as they prepare to bid for un of recognition later this year r.t. sara for a thousand details of her moscow. the representatives of the x. rivals hamas and fatah along with a number of palestinian factions represented

a rising in most gave teaching tinney be into palestinian now after four years as the hostilities between fatah and hamas the two organizations signed a reconciliation agreement saying carre at the beginning of the month and the plan now is for them to establish an interim government to try and hold elections and to a pill to the un for recognition of an independent palestinian state now there are still a number of very serious hurdles at the full that could happen the situation does remain complicated but when the reconciliation agreement was signed most cases that's nice welcome that wealth and it was noted that russia along with egypt in particular had been instrumental in their efforts to bring about the signing of that agreement and so it's felt that most gave it is comfortable in fireman's at these objectives and very important tools to be held. and coming up in
