what had been. a speech on a journey. where did it take down. the u.s. and israel fallout over palestine as prime minister benjamin netanyahu rejects president obama's path to peace in the middle east. the legal problems the white house sidelines the u.s. constitution by skipping the deadline to keep its forces that are actually in libya without approval from congress. plus we'll take you through the harsh but terror antarctica the environment and sparing the grounds of climate change.
1:01 am
costing live from the heart of the russian capital you're watching out. israel has rejected the u.s. call for it to retreat behind the pre-one nine hundred sixty seven borders and withdraw from the occupied palestinian territories prime minister and netanyahu who's in washington for talks says it's a concession he will not make before the meeting president obama said this condition must be fulfilled in order to create any future palestinian state. is not . there 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 its pretty nine hundred sixty seven borders prime minister netanyahu said realities on the ground have changed the need is unrealistic to do so 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
1:02 am
according to president obama that's a solution that could be the starting point to then negotiate land swap 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 land and russia russia has long been putting forward that solution is key to the peace process in the middle east that 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 the three leaders said no thing 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 the israelis and palestinians to decide so on and so forth and so he basically cleared washington of any responsibility to act look like he's really pushed very hard i think part of the problem certainly is the republicans
1:03 am
forty jumped on this mitch romney who's the republican candidate for president in two thousand and twelve said that obama had strode israel under a bus. he drew their conclusions. nevertheless i think the republicans are going to pound shit and the democrats will probably run spirit on this issue so i see that this will unfortunately just be a statement experts 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 we can making demands for the leaders pushing them to fulfill those demands and cation only bombing those who don't. are former american ambassador in the middle east charles freeman jr says while washington is quick to accept protect civilians in libya there's been no action to stop israeli atrocities against its neighbors but the president made
1:04 am
a very strong. but we should not try liberate civilians. by the rulers strong case earlier that we did perform. but we do nothing with the movie injuries to all these things for the palestinians. just a few days ago. number of them. i think crossed the ball through pretty dark rooms of our credibility. part of libya now where that nato that bombing campaign against colonel gadhafi rumbles on two months off it began the u.s. which led the operation is still engaged without official consent from congress according to the constitution american military action is now illegal but as i
1:05 am
learned this the reports few on capitol hill seem concerned. fifty eight. fifty nine. sixty eight i said at the outset that this was going to be a matter of days and weeks. and days have 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 rogue lock thing gary you said you don't think your power exactly is a war powers are the 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 now time is working against gadhafi. he does not have control over is called for but it's
1:06 am
unclear who or what has control over this one the law or the will of the president the president did not seek or decoration of 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.
1:07 am
wars and abiding by constitutional law. still when it comes to work hours there's enough blame to go around absolutely congress doesn't take it seriously and president seven taken it seriously and u.s. media still 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 idea of having laws that you can still go out into speeches as interesting seems to do and talk about peace in just the same principles. as the clock strike they succeed in the libyan intervention and the billions the 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 rhetoric and the rule of law in theory in reality in the nation's capitol though no alarm appears to be going on lauren lyster arcane washington d.c.
1:08 am
. well that's a lot of this i haven't even told you that congress is shying away from a decision on that to make a bomb of 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 e. executive years or patient in the. congressional war making power people want to take credit if it goes well the praise the president or if it goes well badly they can criticize him but if you have a vote on a declaration of war and he threw 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 like the president take responsibility and we'll you know will be kibitzers on the side and say you did
1:09 am
a great job or you didn't do a good job george bush brought 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 went. but two months since intervention in libya i think u.k. government has still kind of its on its involvements and it sees political contributor thinks events elsewhere there's a tension and done things criticism. this past has been easy was that a scandalous peaceful scandals and what an exciting week for them. at non-church they're gives child and divorce the british and the david florists and his two of expenses scandal there is also energy and climate change second to increase hugh with his dodgy speeding tickets and most important of all the i.m.f. chief accused of sex offenses. meanwhile the situation in libya is becoming more
1:10 am
and more complicated the british defense secretary leon forks was forced to declare that there would be no time limit on the nato operation in libya. with the u.k.'s commitment of one billion pounds to this mission the scandals have been very timely to draw the attention of british people away from the real problem. but why has the u.k. forgotten how to fight wars. some commentators believe it's because of the rock of effective leadership. experiment is that trying to be aware and current line started oxford's most of them missed the important must read but future political world war and by its two hundred years ago. he declared that no one in their clear mind should start a war without being absolutely sure what they want to achieve and how they want to
1:11 am

1:16 am
john at the bottom of the earth there is a land of ice and 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. a really unique position on terror to play these related for for a long time prong as a confidence between that fall now that we have here starting from tiny creatures up to seal time. is unique and you can never find it anywhere else only here. but extreme temperatures and start conditions mean that you won't find any polar bears down here so we don't have any trust or all 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 converts tiny crickets that's about it and if you want to experience

fragile. expedition to the bottom of the earth. it's going to be a tough saturday according to one with a description of us now the calculations of family radio today is judgment day and the world. for all of them on a mission to tell people the back. have you heard the awesome news watch watch watch one the world is ending death destruction that's all you can see. nine months ago and he and jessica ramos hit the road to tell people just that but we mean the way forward that this was the best way. to do what we're supposed to do according to what the bible was telling us to warn the people their three daughters travel with them i homeschooled they were in school for a little bit and now that it's towards the end we decided to support our kids much
1:20 am
as possible yes we can abby aren't alone there is just one of four caravans roaming the country preaching the apocalypse they believe the world of the 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 may twenty first two thousand and eleven camping did predict the end once before and september one thousand nine hundred four campaigns prediction has since been branded on buses billboards t. shirts this is the greatest the biggest advertising campaign in the world. there's never been anything like this. since god proved this world. the bible promised that everybody all nations will get this message before before the first world and everything in between including gary bomber's s.u.v. which he 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 had the work done on it
1:21 am
and it's pronounced in the lord's work of judgement day we actually have a depiction here this is actually the picture of california plate actually sinking into the ocean this is actually deficient of fire and it's talking about how the lord is going to bring down a 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 trap. around the world killing millions but before that happens all the true believers will be called off to be with christ and they want to spiritual and i have been here for five months. of sorrow suffering and 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 that for those called up to have been the listeners of family radio it's the it's impossible the world won't end but for now we'll have to see which morrow brings you in florida artsy washington d.c.
1:22 am
. but later i will take a look at the worst oil spill in american history or to visit the coastline that was most affected to find out how the suffering of nature is in the locals just as . didn't start all of a sudden. it's a long story of destroying the living under homage shots. there are constantly feels something down here when they get done like that it's just that if you took every fisherman out of the water and you don't do something about living and. protecting the can protect the fisheries means it's going to collapse nature the steps making way for the function does or if you look around louisiana you see the solar. obviously everybody you're most well off in comes the road systems theory
1:23 am
number is true. and you have billions of dollars oil and gas state. real baby drill. one needs. to cause some selling longer. consider potential areas for development in south atlantic and the gulf of mexico. and you can watch the full version of os special report within it's time they're not. now watching that space shuttles and rockets blasting off for all that has become almost commonplace but actually making it into space is still something reserved for a few parties its own boss and that's an american astronauts ahead of his mission to the international space station next week to find out what it's really like.
1:24 am
we're here in the countryside part of star city because of all training center north of moscow and we've managed to catch a rare moment where the cosmonauts and astronauts get to relax after all their exams and training before going off to baikonur to be fired up into space to the international space station and i lucky enough to be here with mike fossum he's been on a shuttle missions twice and this is his first rocket mission up to the i assess what we're talking a bit about some of the every day life up on a stage 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 in there flushed away with water in space the gravity doesn't work we don't have a shower on board the space station because the water would you know how to find the drain you can wash your hair completely clothed and get
1:25 am
a little soapy water on you here and then scrub it up in the water didn't powerband on your clothing you just sticks to your head when you must gently if you've massage it with a lot of energy then you have droplets of water in a pig pattern spring around your head and what happens if some of those things break how do you cope with that when you're working on equipment we start taking apart and you take out all the little screws well you can't just set him on the workbench to float away so you have to hold them down in some way and that ends up being probably the most frustrating thing easy to lose to on earth when you're working on something and you drop it. you know what i look good it's right around your feet someplace up there it can go in any direction on my first space shuttle mission i lost my four we check our eating kit i lost my fork on the second day of the mission. i don't have my fork and so i ate with a spoon and a knife for the rest of the flight as we were packing up to come home two weeks
1:26 am
later. came floating out from some corner and what about the food is not a challenge food is not like camping food most of the u.s. food is pretty dry so if you add water and let it sit for a bit and it rehydrate and become something you'd recognise like vegetables or rice potatoes or shrimp cocktail or a regular bread has problems you finish eating a sandwich on earth and on your plate you have these problems quickly and space they don't go to the plate to go into the air and so they're in your nose and your eyes are in the air conditioning filters it so we don't use regular bread much we use tortillas. for the preparations on ask dot com and get to check out some other stories while you're very including conflicts of female perspective in t.v. and in the eighty's you can least from the front the racial stuff. and not like cats and dogs eat the feline month of the cry of this little house.
