the u.s. and israel fallout over palestine as prime minister benjamin netanyahu rejects a vomits path to peace in the middle east. illegal bowman's the white house sidelines the us constitution by skipping the deadline to keep its forces in action of libya without approval from congress. taking to the hospital fragile from terror untaught ago but environment is bearing the brunt of climate change.

are you watching r t we're live from moscow welcome to the program israel has rejected the u.s. code for it to retreat behind the pre nine hundred sixty seven war borders and with joy from the occupied palestinian territories prime minister benjamin netanyahu who is in washington for talks says it's a concession he will not make for the meeting president of imus said his condition must be fulfilled in order to create any future palestinian state but as i mentioned sharon has more. that was a very cordial meeting but the talks between friends as they kept calling each other has reached a dead end obama mentioned his thursday speech and his suggestion for israel to go back to the screen nine hundred sixty seven borders prime minister netanyahu said realities on the ground have changed the need is unrealistic to build up going back to one thousand nine hundred seven would mean giving up the west bank east jerusalem and the gaza strip that's something that many israelis find unacceptable

but according to president obama that's a solution that could be the starting point to then negotiate land swaps with with the palestinians to create new borders all the other members of the quartet of middle east peace negotiators are supporting the idea that the european union the u.n. and russia russia has long been putting forward that solution as he put the peace process in the middle east but despite our because negotiations have so far reached reached a dead end just because this meeting today at the white house which came down to this president obama reiterated his suggestion and these three leaders said no thank you having called for israel to make bold moves to in order to advance the peace process obama was nonetheless very very careful to say that the u.s. is soli slowly an advisor here that it is not going to force any decision on israel because it is up to these three weeks of palestinians to decide so on and so forth and so he basically cleared washington of any responsibility to act because it looks like he's willing to push very hard i think part of the problem certainly is

that the republicans for he jumped on this from the who's the republican candidate for president in two thousand and twelve said that obama had strong israel under a bus. he drew their conclusion is true. nevertheless i think the republicans are going to pound him and the democrats will probably run scared on this issue so i see. unfortunately just be a statement i say washington's policy of this not intervention in the middle east at least when it comes to the. looks even more inconsistent considering america's willingness to intervene in other places in the region making demands for their leaders pushing them to fulfill those demands and bombing those who don't. former american back in the middle east chas freeman jr says while washington is quick to wax and protect civilians in libya there's been no action to stop israeli atrocities against its neighbors well the president made

a very strong case that we should not tolerate civilians being. by their rulers he made a strong case earlier that we needed from oakland zone over libya but we do nothing more than really israelis do all these things to the palestinians in gaza. just a few days ago. we were. number three. i think crossed the border with a pretty hard proof of our credibility kristie. well to libya now where the bombing campaign against colonel gadhafi rumbles on two months after it began the u.s. which led the operation is still engaged without official consent from congress according to the constitution american military action over their plan is not illegal but as nazis learned this to reports the few on capitol hill seem concerns

. fifty eight. fifty nine. sixty i said at the outset that this was going to be a matter of days and weeks. the days had turned to months and in libya the battle rages on but in washington time has run out. and this rhetoric is running up against a real growth block thing gary you said you don't think the more power things as a war powers act war powers act a resolution that says sixty days marks the deadline for an american president pull u.s. forces from hostilities or get congress's approval for a formal declaration of war yet neither appear to be happening and according to the president publicly time seems to be the enemy only for someone else is working against gadhafi. he does not have control over his comfort but it's unclear who or

what has control over this one the law or the will of the president the president did not seek in a war begin with. nor really has there been much discussion of the war powers act nor does it seem there will be when pressed by the majority of congress not with leaders of the senate foreign relations committee saying there are no plans for action and top lawmakers like john mccain saying quote he's never recognized the constitutionality of the war powers act nor has any president which is only sort of true according to legal and political experts every president has expressed some concerns about its constitutionality but interestingly not a single president has questioned the sixty day rule hathaway says if obama does this would set a new precedent for combat by a president who campaigned on ending u.s. wars and abiding by constitutional law. still when it comes to war powers there's

enough blame to go around congress doesn't take it seriously and presidents haven't taken it seriously and u.s. media don't take it seriously meanwhile u.s. drones fly over libya dropping bombs and the laws governing this type of mission seem to have flown out the window to it makes a joke of the whole idea of how the laws that you can still go out and give you the full speeches as the president seems to be doing talk about peace and justice and principles. as the clock strikes the basic feet in the libyan intervention and the bill hits a reported three quarters of a billion dollars in the u.s. this third war with no congressional oversight or end in sight time is working against the rhetoric and the rule of law in theory in reality in a nation's capital though no alarm appears to be going on lauren lyster arcane

washington d.c. . i think he then told r.t. that congress is sawing away from the decision of that to make obama the scapegoat for any possible failure yes it's illegal and unconstitutional and it's not the first president to do to have done it but it's clearly a move in the direction of more executive power and more executive your soup ation of the. you know congressional war making power people want to take credit if it goes well both praise the president or if it goes well badly they can criticize him but if you have a goat on a declaration of war or anything sort of authorization for that they have to go on record as either opposing it or supporting it and therefore you know they can get blamed by their constituents one way or the other so just let the president take responsibility and we'll you know we'll be kidded serves on the side and say he did

a great job or he didn't do a good job george bush for all his failings he did get congressional authorization for afghanistan and iraq and he was the champion of executive power but obama has really gone further in this case than bush ever won. you know watching on t.v. we have a lot more stories lined up for you this hour including living in the southern tip of the earth. the animalism talks and. moves disappear. several wondered how to head in space isn't speaking to nasa astronauts to find out .

more news today violence is once again flared up. and these are the images the world has been seeing from the streets of canada. think operation to rule the day. libya albeit one of the key topics that's a g eight meeting in france next week i'll see that lori haas minister also known as the residents also people on the streets of new york what else they think well leaders should be talking about.

as world leaders gather at the g eight summit what do you think they should be focusing on solving collectively this week let's talk about that i think they should be focusing on. greening the i mean just saving the planet and also humanity less politics and more people and more communication and more truth do you think they'll do that no not in a hundred years do you think that they'll be looking out for the global best interest or just their country's own interest i suspect most countries come to the table with their own best interests in mind are you hopeful that they can set those aside or at least enough to come to some common i'm hopeful that my retirement savings is worse something when i retire would it be better if they just chose one to work on and fix that first i think multi ability is able to talk about

a few issues they're able to talk about i don't know if the able to solve them all in one time or the problems will never go away i don't believe the world leaders can fix them seem to be drawing to fix. the problem so why do they have the stomach . well. the problem. lord i just wish people would get along a little bit better together just all the nationalities all the different religions and i think we much better off maybe this time it should be more like a retreat where they talk about how they can get along and that the economy. the economy is important but the economy all over everything else. you go to what you want the world leaders to solve the bottom line and let's just hope. they can work .

a key u.s. ally he's a victory contributor thinks that selective approach means about as failing to reach the hearts and minds of muslims. album a latest address to the muslim world was just a pale remake of his famous cave or a speech two years ago that in fact it was a disappointment to everybody except one to whom it may concern i'm talking about saudi arabia and the main instigator rater of both osama bin laden and he's associates and their brutal revolt over my jury eighty three the united states president barack obama did his best to avoid it any pain any mentioning over the main six pound gorilla in the room downed excelled at accomplishing he's objective he tried to do of the muslim

world at large but so far he has yet to reach out and touch the heart in so both both the muslim community and the arab world. now we continue our special series of reports from antarctica with tough weather conditions in subzero temperatures in the air around and think nothing could inhabit this cold that. is home to a range of hardy animals there was also these sorts of us reports many have become endangered because their habitats and snow melting away. john at the bottom of the earth there is a land of ice and a volcanic rock so different from the civilized world that it is hard to imagine that life can be found here. but in fact a closer look reveals it is one of the most interesting ecosystems on the planet

and he too a really unique position on turkey and he's a lated for for a long time from as a contact between that and others we have here starting from tiny creatures up to seals and penguins is uniquely to it and you can never find it anywhere else only here. but extreme temperatures and starts conditions mean that you won't find any polar bears down here so we don't have any trust real animals like polar bears or nothing like that occurs down here we only have marine mammals and marine birds that come ashore to breed and the only trust your life is limited to the vegetation and maybe some impervious time birds that's about it and if you want to experience some of this exotic wildlife the enter take peninsula is a good place to start well as everything here in this part we've got a tremendous range of seals it is true a different type to see if you can expect to see six if you're lucky and the pain was to have this three of the brush coping with you'd expect to see in the

peninsula but a most trips we're lucky to see up to sixty of a species including life in antarctica is both you and randall one of the main areas of study down here on this continent is studying the environment make sure that they can learn how. we are seeing into the adelie penguins which are the most abundant penguin species in the antarctic and a true ice loving species they are declining in the antarctic peninsula seriously and may disappear from the peninsula in the next fifty years because of the warming and the loss of sea ice which is just part of their habitat with scientists witnessing such dramatic changes in such a short period of time. the concern is what to do in the future to prevent such a rapid change in the environment there is a very big message. on the climate change it for us to talk about it is one of three sites which are the fastest growing increases in average weather take the

winter temperatures and western siberia my last article which is will be five times faster than the plane leaving many to wonder what is to become of the animals that call this place home in antarctica sean thomas r.t. . thrills and chills from. throughout the week. one of the most extreme environments on the planet. and people have to be far away from civilization. special and attractive from. the front. of the earth. now it's going to be a tough saturday according to one religious group in the u.s.

now the calculations of family right here today is judgment day and the world is he's ok for one thing on that mission to tell people the bad news. have you heard the awesome news watch watch what the world is sending death destruction that's all you can see. nine months ago eddie and jessica ramos hit the road to tell people just back away from green that this was the best way to. do what we're supposed to do according to what the bible this time just to warn the people their three daughters travel with them i homeschooled when they were in school for a little bit and now it's time to see and we decided to support our much as possible catholic in abbey aren't alone there is just one of four caravans roaming the country preaching the apocalypse they believe the world is ending may twenty first and that it's their duty to warn the people here old camping the eighty nine year old founder of family radio used

a series of biblical calculations to arrive at me twenty first two thousand and eleven camping did predict the end once before in september one thousand nine hundred four campaigns prediction has since been branded on buses billboards t. shirts this is the greatest and the biggest advertising campaign in the world. there's never been anything like this before says god prove this world. the bible promised everybody all nations will use this message for great for the first world and everything in between including gary warmers s.u.v. she drives every day to his job at the department of homeland security this is a vehicle i had read it was about two years ago i actually got the work done on it and it's pronounced in the lord's work of judgment day we actually have a depiction here this is actually the picture of california plate actually sinking into the ocean this. it's actually a depiction of fire it's talking about how the lord is going to bring down fire and

brimstone upon the earth and the day of destruction according to camping the day of destruction will begin with a giant rolling earthquake at the international date line and travel around the world killing millions but before that happens all the true believers will be called off the field of christ and they want to spiritual from having your five months. of sorrow suffering and pain meanwhile those who know they'll be left behind like these atheists are already making plans of their own offering to buy on craigslist raptured people's possessions and dogs for those called up to heaven the listeners of family radio see it's impossible the world won't end but for now we'll have to see what tomorrow brings you in for an artsy washington d.c. . they will take a look at the worst oil spread in american history because it's the coastline that was worst affected so find out how the suffering of nature and sense of the calls just as hot. didn't start all of

a sudden. it's a long story destroying the living under. there are. some leaks out here when they get like that it's just if you took every fisherman out of the water and tell you something about that water and. protecting the habitat the fisheries it's going to collapse nature steps by making way for the talks. to look around the city of the solar. city of humans well you come and speak road systems to great number that's true. and yet billions of. oil and gas state. real baby drill. two problems. one might be considered potential areas for development in south atlantic the gulf

of mexico. where you can watch the full version of our special report and now it's time to. space shuttles and rockets blasting off for orbit has become almost commonplace but actually making it into space is still something reserved for the lucky few t's time brought in veteran american astronauts head of his mission to the international space station next week to find out what it's really like. we're here in the countryside part of star city because little training center north of moscow and we've managed to catch a rare moment where the cosmonauts and astronauts gets relax after all their exams of training before going off to apply can all be fired up into space to the

international space station and i lucky enough to be here with mike fossum he's been on shuttle missions twice and this is his first rocket mission to the i assess and we'll be talking a bit about some of the every day life up on a space shuttle so every day life in an extraordinary setting everything in space is typically harder than it is on earth things as simple as going to the bathroom where on earth gravity helps things go where you want them to go and they're flushed away with water it's place the gravity doesn't work we don't have a shower on board the space station because the water wouldn't know how to find the grain you can wash your hair completely close could get a little soapy water on your hair and then scrub it up the water didn't pour then on your clothing it just sticks to your head in the massage it gently if you've massaged it with a lot of energy then you have droplets of water in a pig pattern spraying around your head but what happens is some of those things break how do you cope with that when you're working on equipment we start taking it

apart and you take out all the little screws well you can't just set them on the on the workbench the photo way so you have to hold them down in some way and that ends up being probably the most frustrating thing it's easy to lose to unearth when you're working on something and you drop it a little you know what to look over because it's right around your feet someplace up there it can go in any direction my first space shuttle mission i lost my fork we each have our eating i lost my fork or the secretary of mission. i don't know my fork so i ate with a spoon and a knife for the rest of the price as we were packing up to come home. weeks later when i came floating out from some corner i'm not about the food is that the challenge of food it's a lot like camping food most of the u.s. food is pretty dry so if you add water and let it sit for a bit it rehydrate and become something you'd recognise like vegetables are

actually tears or shrimp cocktail regular bread has crumbs you finish eating a sandwich on earth and on your plate you have these crumbs in space they don't go to the plate they go into the air and so they're there in your nose in your eyes in the air conditioning filters it so we don't use regular bread much we use tortillas . and they can follow the preparations in r.t. dot com i'm going to check out some other stories including conflicts with the female perspective reading t.v. with the iron lady of the middle east from the front for the liberation of palestine. and not like cats and dogs and feline plants and the crying wolf but that's a little of a come back to something. coming
