6:01 am
limits. you're watching r t two pm here in moscow thanks for joining us now delegations from the libyan opposition and palestinian officials are in moscow seeking help to resolve their regional problems well the power struggle in libya and the arab israeli peace settlements are expected to top the agenda of their separate meetings with russia's foreign minister r.t.c. go to scott has more. last week it was a delegation from tripoli and now it's a delegation from being gassed you get a rebel stronghold and moscow stresses that it does not want to be a mediator in this conflict saying that this is an internal issue for libya but it does want to help both sides to find ways to start moving to
6:02 am
a closer towards some sort of a cease fire and last week tripoli said that they are ready to go by all the u.n. resolutions and they are ready to consider a ceasefire but only if the rebels put their weapons down and nato stops this shelling by to one of the biggest stumbling points and probably the biggest challenge for moscow at this meeting is that the rebels say they will not put their weapons down until gaddafi goes so we're not expecting any breakthroughs here but foreign minister silvio off has been saying that it's absolutely vital to at least start working on some sort of a timeline for negotiations on a cease fire palestinian authorities are also meeting with the a russian foreign minister these are delegations from fatah and hamas the two most powerful political movements in gaza and the west bank just earlier this month they decided to put their differences of course after years of animosity and are now playing to form
6:03 am
a joint government and earlier they said they hope for russia's support in this matter and they're also set to discuss the preconditions for creating an independent palestinian state and they want to take this matter up to the united nations in september and also said we are counting on russia's support obviously this conflict has been going on for me decades but over the years it became pretty clear that the international community including the middle east quartet which is made out of russia the united states the european union and the the. united nations peace see that there's only one solution and that is a true state solution just recently us president barak obama met with the israeli prime minister and supported to sadia he said these waters off the future independent palestinian state should be based on those in the eighty's sixty seven which would make them go through jerusalem well this was rejected by the israeli
6:04 am
prime minister was said it would make israel defenseless against palestine so a leader at another meeting with israel's biggest to lobby in the united states barack obama softened his stance saying that the borders health of the future independent palestine they don't really have to be exactly as the boring one nine hundred sixty seven so no media analysts say that the u.s. is trying to please both israel and the international community sort of is trying to sit on two chairs at the same time and goods is actually creating even more tension and for more on this here's my colleagues. when addressing the powerful pro israel lobby here in washington president obama has made sure we have firm be on wavering support of the united states he also made sure his thursday speech did not leave anyone confortable in that speech and suggest that the israel go back to pre nine hundred sixty seven borders with mutually agreed land swaps
6:05 am
a nice way least found the near idea of going back to nine hundred sixty seven unacceptable these really prime ministers that it was unrealistic so there was some tension there and given how important the support of the jewish lobby is in the u.s. presidential elections president obama had to do some explaining i know that stating these principles i mean issues of territory and security generated some controversy over the past few days. i wasn't surprised i know very rome that the easy thing to do. particularly for a president preparing for reelection is to avoid any controversy so let me reaffirm what nine hundred sixty seven lines with mutually means by definition it means that the parties themselves israelis and palestinians will negotiate
6:06 am
a border that is different than the one that existed on june fourth one nine hundred sixty seven. so what president obama basically said at the apec conference was here's the solution that the united states suggested washington will in no way put any pressure on israel to advance the process it's not the first time washington talks about the two state solution obama is the first u.s. president to express it explicitly in a speech but they were similar suggestions before but never any action to really push for it one example of the policy of words but not actions are the settlements u.s. administration has called peace really settlement expansion illegitimate but when it came to actually voting at the un security council to condemn the settlement expansion as illegal the u.s. vetoed the solution as were going back to nine hundred sixty seven borders as a basis for negotiations the solution is not new all the other members of the quartet of middle east peace negotiators have long been supporting it president obama was popularity in the arab world is now as low as ever is facing pressure from both the international community and its all time ally israel for whom obama's
6:07 am
mentioning of nine hundred sixty seven alone sounded unacceptable so president obama's attempts to please both the international community and its will seem to have resulted in yet another nonstarter in the middle east peace process political analysts john mearsheimer says if he's real doesn't soften its approach towards a peace deal to live eve could soon find itself totally isolated in the middle east . there's no question that the united states is well beyond losing patience with netanyahu and with israel more generally behind closed doors the united states is furious with israel because israel is pursuing a policy that is not we american national interest this is disastrous for us and that's why obama wants a two state solution to the problem the obama faces like all american presidents face is that you can't put any pressure on israel because the lobby in this country
6:08 am
is so powerful that it wouldn't do great damage to obama's political future when president obama was saying very clearly is that israel is being isolated around the world and the palestinians are gaining the upper hand in terms of growth paying it and what's going to happen here is that it's going to be his real and the united states against the rest of the world and this is just a esther's for the united states and its disastrous for israel and that's the message that obama is sending to netanyahu but unfortunately the message is not getting through. and still ahead this hour handling the economic crisis the greek way. sometimes she greeks staying out for a meal drinking coffee and see the world is this country's crisis it's the only thing that's left to find out why greece's attitude to its debt crisis is putting a new strain on its relationship with the internet. to the republic of georgia
6:09 am

6:11 am
public is increasingly dissatisfied with saakashvili if he is away with breaking down on any kind of a position contra freedom in georgia was very contrary to all for once i've actually came into power during the years your position there was freedom of speech and the political part is that different views calls for internal and external policies of the contrary. has been doing for the last seventy years is critical in your position and actually has managed to lead in age not only all the political parties but most of the pollution in the culture and coming up shortly in the program in the sense that i'm asked dolphinarium by the best stuff for children with disabilities is forced to move out. as the euro zone economic crisis deepens greece is being criticized for not doing enough or the country is facing fresh ultimatums from e.u.
6:12 am
members as its debt continues to spiral out of control and needs to step up its economic reforms to help reduce its huge national deficit but the greek prime minister has admitted there are likely to meet their obligations and hit back at the e.u. for its impatience the government protests have been commonplace and there are growing rumors that the euro altogether as a way out of the crisis others are out of our reports tensions between the e.u. and greece are fast approaching. as famous greek businessman aristotle onassis once said to be successful keep looking chair and live in an elegant building even if you're in the cellar be seen in smart restaurants even if you only nursed one drink and if you borrow borrow big. greece certainly grow big but it hasn't helped its success a modern country built on a glorious ancient civilization is on the brink of national financial disaster and
6:13 am
some e.u. members which helped bail it out are no longer happy with the anti-crisis measures taken by athens. we can't just show you solidarity and then say that these countries can't continue as before we can't have a common currency but some get lots of education time and others very less so that won't work in the long term. to the people of greece already suffering from severe job and wage cuts this statement was a slap in the face of the ideologies that greeks are those guys who lie in the sun and don't work well the reality is not that greeks and you have statistics. very serious that this looks produced by the european union which proves that greeks work at least as much as other europeans at the same time i thing would be ideal for the german government is that we should sell everything to them because we owe it to them to see the kind of situation but in the end produces
6:14 am
a very uneven relationship inside this supposedly. a union of states that were meant to you know in a way. form. some kind of solidarity so even the slightest rumors that greece might leave the euro have already been flatly denied by athens and brussels some experts believe this would be best for the e.u. even claiming it could be less painful then being warned experts from abroad they try to make us clear. no country that has that should escape the euro area because they would lose money but this shouldn't be our problem it shouldn't be the problem for the wealthier european countries our research has shown up greek could leave the euro area without any
6:15 am
big problems but the greek people are facing big. problems the total out of work is expected to hit around eight hundred thousand this year with an unemployment rate of forty percent among the young it seems people strolling through the city's markets are just putting on block or a fish. sometimes. you know drinking coffee is this country's grasses it's the only thing that's left. just outside and you know avoid being always you know. the despair is evident in the shuttered stores all across our friends despite the fact that it's the tourist high season business and the birthplace of civilization looks pretty dead certain even members have accused the greeks of simply being too lazy and while it's true that some shop owners will reopen after a few days on the beach for many these windows of opportunity are permanently
6:16 am
closed. ironically it seems that this time it's the greeks who should have been aware of those bearing gifts the e.u. bailout of one hundred billion euros has mired the country in crippling debt and cost the developing political chosen between athens and its european partners over what's going to happen next the rising tension between the two is causing fault lines which some say now threaten the entire unity of the european union itself catherine is or about r t athens greece. russia's top search engine young decks is about to be listed on the nasdaq in new york some experts believe the company's i.p.o. will outperform last year's debut of another russia the web giant melgar argue for more let's cross live the you're at the business desk hi there you are so what's the address for sentiment ahead of the upcoming i.p.o. well tested to put it mildly investor sentiment is fairly upbeat ahead of tonight's
