u.s. and israel pulled out of palestine and prime minister benjamin netanyahu rejects president obama's part of peace and at least. illegal bombs the white house sidelines the us constitution by skipping the deadline to keep its forces an accident without approval from congress. so it will take to the house but fragile from terrorism antarctica but environment is bearing the brunt of climate change.

casting around the world and around the clock says r.t. . israel has rejected the u.s. call for it to retreat behind the pre nine hundred sixty seven borders and withdraw from the occupied palestinian territories prime minister benjamin netanyahu who's in washington for talks says it's a concession he will not make before the meeting president obama said the conditions must be fulfilled in order to create any future palestinian state but his account as well. there was a very cordial meeting but the talks between friends as they kept calling each other has reached the dead end of on a 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 stuff 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 that despite all the calls negotiations have so far reached reached a dead end just this meeting today at the white house which came down to this president obama reiterated his suggestion and the israeli leader said no thank you having called for israel to make bold moves to in order to advance the peace process or one of those nonetheless is very very careful to say that the u.s. is slowly 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 doesn't look like he's really to push very hard i think part of the problem certainly is

the republicans forty jumped on this wrong the who's the republican candidate for president in two thousand and twelve said that obama had strong israel under a bush. he drew their conclusion that. nevertheless i think the republicans are going to pound him and the democrats will probably run scared on this issue so i see this will unfortunately just be a statement for say washington's policy of this not intervention in the middle east at least when it comes to the rather weak a 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 occasionally bombing those who don't. well for america bastien at least charles freeman jr says while washington is quick to act to protect civilians in libya there's been no action to stop his various chances against its neighbors well the president made

a very strong case that we should not tolerate three billions being bludgeoned. by their rulers he made a strong case earlier that we needed no fly zone over libya but we do nothing with really israelis do all these things to the palestinians. just a few days ago. we were on our. program a number of them. so i think blue cross the world through pretty hard terms of our credibility. now to libya now where the nato led bombing campaign against colonel gadhafi rumbles on ten months off again the u.s. which led the operation is still engaged without official consent from congress according to the constitution american military action over there is now illegal or desire to learn this to 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. the 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 pro clock thing here you said you don't think the more power things as a war powers act 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 his conference 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 a 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. wars and abiding by constitutional law but still when it comes to war powers there

is enough blame to go around absolutely congress doesn't take it seriously and president seven say that it seriously and u.s. media outlets 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 too makes a joke at the idea of having laws but you can still go out and give you the full speeches as the president seems to do and talk about peace and justice and principles. as the clock strike days six 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 rhetoric and the rule of law in theory in reality in the nation's capital though no alarm happy. be going on lauren lyster our t. washington d.c.

. political analyst ivan even told that congress is shying away from the decision on to make obama the skate gate possible fadia 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 you're sort of haitian the. congressional war making power people want to take credit if it goes well the praised 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 let the president take responsibility and we'll you know will be kibitzers 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 went. there watching r.t. we have a lot more stories lined up for you this hour including living in the southernmost tip of the earth our team meets the animals of sloane watching avatar disappear. for several wondered how to wash your hair in space he has been speaking to a nasa astronaut to find out. in a speech on the latest events in the arab world president obama pledged support for democracy and opposition to violence against protesters but he mentioned the countdowns of demonstrations and rain to keep us alive which a contributor thinks that this selective approach things above is failing to reach the hearts and minds of muslims are bomb

a latest address to the muslim world was just peel remake of his famous can you were a speech two years ago in fact it was a disappointment to everybody except one to whom intimate concern i'm talking about saudi arabia and then me in spirit or of both osama bin ladin and he's associates and with their brutal revolt of bashir i my jury in a united states president barack obama did his best to avoid it any pain any mentioning all of the main six pound gorilla in the room and he excelled at accomplishing his objective he tried to do the muslim world at large but so far he has yet to reach out and touch the heart and soul of

both the muslim community and the arab world. well some other world news for you this hour tens of thousands of strike protests defied the government ban on nationwide demonstrations imposed ahead of regional and local elections people camped out overnight in madrid central square cheery and chanting anti government statements the protests began six days ago when the spanish youth walked out on the streets are straight a body with five percent unemployment for recent graduates a crowd is granted some twenty five thousand mcalpin spread to cities across the country. and later altera has exploded in northwest pakistan killing at least sixteen people the truck transporting fuel through pakistan to nato forces in afghanistan was hit by a small bomb some locals gathering to collect spoof you were burnt to death in the carriage well many others were injured. the syrian human rights group says

middle east and north africa it will be said of attention but artie's harvest also known as the residents are sixteen from the streets of new york what else they think world 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 i mean just saving the planet and also humanity politics and more people and more communication and more troops do you think they'll do that no not one hundred years do you think that they'll be looking out for the global best interests or just their countries don't interest me i suspect most countries come to the table with their own best interests in mind are you hopeful. that those as at least enough to come to some compromise i'm

hopeful that my retirement savings is worth something when i retire would it be better if they just chose one to work on and fix that first i think the multi ability is able to talk about a few issues they're able to talk about i don't have 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 trying to fix. the problem so why do they have the stomach. well. 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'd be much better off so maybe this summit should be more like a retreat where they talk about how they can get along and less about the economy well the economy's important but better than the economy would follow if they got everything else straightened out i think remember what you want the world leaders

to solve the bottom line and let's just hope they can set aside their differences so they can work collectively for change. now we continue our special series of reports from antarctica with tougher weather conditions and subzero temperatures all year round and think that nothing could inhabit this cold land but in fact antarctica is home to a range of hardy animals there's all to show thomas reports many have become endangered because their habitat is slowly melting away. 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 he really unique position and he's related for for a very long time from as

a continent it seems that follow now that we have here starting from tiny creatures up to seals and then with his unique native i mean you can never find it anywhere else only. but extreme temperatures and start 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 breed and the only trust your life is limited to the vegetation and maybe some converts time records that's about it and if you want to experience some of this exotic wildlife the antarctic peninsula is a good place to start well as everything here in this part we've got a tremendous range of seals and it's true different type of seals you can expect to see six if you're lucky the penguins two and there's three of the brushtail playing with you it's great to see in the peninsula but to most trips we're lucky to see up to six different species including a lot of life in antarctica is both you and randall one of the main areas of study

down here on this continent is state of the environment to 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 in 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 central short period of time the concern is. what you do in the future to prevent such a rapid change in the environment there's a very big message i mean there's no way on the planet changing for us to answer. is one of three sites which has done the fastest growing increase in average weather to get winter temperatures days western siberia alaska i mean start to pillage which is warming five times for us living on the planet leaving many to

wonder what is to become of the animals that call this place home in antarctica sean thomas r t. but it got more thrills and chills and our teams are talking expedition throughout the week so accurate. more than a month. one of the most extreme environments on the planet this is antarctica and people have to be aware that they're far away from civilization sean thomas discovers flight makes sense arctic is so special that it's russia for many life in antarctica. and the fragile. expedition to the bottom of the earth. but it's going to be a tough saturday according to one religious group in the u.s. how the calculations of family radio today is judgment day at the end of the world . for the follow them on their mission to spread the dims they prophesy. have you

heard the awesome news watch watch watch one 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 that away and my wife agreed that this was the best way to. do what we were 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 then now that it's time we decided. much as possible jefferson abbey aren't alone theirs is just one of four caravans roaming the country preaching the apocalypse they believe the world is ending may twenty first and that if their duty to warn the people here are 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 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 that everybody all nations will get this message for a great story first world and everything in between including gary will most 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 patient of the california plate actually sinking into the ocean this is actually a depiction 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 and the international dateline and travel. around the world killing millions but before that happens all the true believers will be called to do it right and they want to hear it what's going to happen here not. sorrow suffering meanwhile those who know it will 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 and listeners of family radio it's the 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. . or they will take a look at the worst oil spill in american history also he visits the coastline was most affected find out how the suffering of nature is getting in the clouds just as hard. didn't start all of a sudden. it's a long story of the stronger living under hama charge. there are constant

feeling something leaks out here when they get done with it it's just that if you took every fisherman out of the water and you do something about that water and. protecting the habitat the fisheries. it's going to collapse nature's steps making way for the ciancia culture. museum in the city the solar. lobby you must be well off income. road systems theory number that's true. and you have billions of dollars against the state. real baby drill. plus some selling lumber to consider potential areas for development in south atlantic the gulf of mexico.

they can watch the full version of us special report next day care to take. watching the space shuttles on rockets blasting off their orbits has become almost commonplace but actually making it into space is still something reserved for a lucky few oxys tom boston that's an american astronauts the head of his mission to the international space station next week find out what it's really like. we're here in the countryside part of star city the cosmonaut 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 of training before going off to baikonur to be fired up into space to the international space station and i'm lucky enough to be here with mike fossum he's been on the 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 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 in space 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 brain you can wash your hair completely close you could get a little soapy water on your hair and then scrub it out and the water didn't fall down on your clothing it just sticks to your head when you must gently massage it with a lot of energy then you have droplets of water in a big 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 when you start picking it apart can you take out all the little screws well you can't just throw them on the 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 where to look because it's right around your feet someplace up there it can go in any direction on my first space shuttle mission i lost my fork we are eating can't i lost my fork on the second day of the mission. i don't have my fork and so i ate with the spoon in a knife for the rest of the flight as we were packing up to come home two weeks later and i came floating out from some corner and what about the food is not a challenge food is a lot like camping food most of the us food is freeze dried so if you add water and let it sit for a bit and it rehydrate and become something you'd recognise like vegetables or mashed potatoes 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 to go into the air and so they're in your nose so in your eyes there in the air conditioning filters it so we don't use regular bread much we use tortillas. well you can follow the preparations on r.t. dot com and it gets a check out some other stories there as well including conflicts from a female perspective even interview with the final adeel at least from the front for the duration of how to start. and not like cats and dogs into feline mummy who answered the cry of wolf to see the car back to health and siberians. not exactly a recap of our top stories shortly yes thirty. play
