other stories in our business bulletin accomplishing that. this is our tease ten pm monday evening here in moscow will more come from me kevin i mean here at our team tonight our top story political unity among all palestinians is needed to achieve peace with israel and created a dependent state russia's foreign minister a voice that very view on the conflict as the two main palestinian parties came closer together at a meeting here in moscow coming palestinian municipal elections were also on the agenda our correspondent to go person off of the talks. since hamas and fatah were able just sat there are differences aside after years of animosity they've now decided to form a joint government given same hope for russia support and over the weekend their

representatives have been meeting with russian compliments and now be met with the foreign minister himself and so you know i've often said that russia has an active member of both the poor and security council and the middle east quartet which also includes the united states to deal with the union and the e.u. way it supports the idea of all palestinian political forces to be forged in this election another issue on the table or was the discussion for the preconditions for the future independence palestinian state should be although it's also commented on that freezing the fact that the two years four more years are rivals if i'm from us we're able to finally reach common ground and said that only as a food fight nation can palestinians negotiate you see she would as well because this is a. choose the creation of an independent palestinian state through resolving the israeli palestinian conflict and of course the palestinian leadership to enjoy the

support of the palestinians during negotiations unity is important for any nation and it's even more important for the palestinian people who are working towards a fair solution to create their own state borders with decisions of the un the middle east quartet and the arab peace initiative. and hamas are planning to take this matter to the one in september and their representative so i've already said that russia has promised its support this whole dispute has been going on for many decades and you know it became pretty clear that the international community including the middle east quartet to be supporting the idea of a two state solution you got israel and palestine should you choose separate independent turn. just recently u.s. president barack obama said that the borders of these future independent states should be based on those nine hundred sixty seven which basically means that they would go through jerusalem this idea is supported by the international community

including moscow far as he was in new jersey by the israeli prime minister who said that such a scenario would make israel the first was at a meeting with israel's biggest lobby in the united states garg obama softening his stance saying that the borders don't really have to be exactly as they were in one nine hundred sixty seven mil many analysts are saying that the u.s. is trying to sit on two chairs at the same time trying to please both israel and the international community and that is actually creating even more tension and for more on that here's this report by my colleague. president obama's calls for peace and a two state solution fell on deaf ears both with israelis for many from the mere mentioning of going back to preen nine hundred sixty seven border lines is unacceptable. to do so. because he is going to retrench and with the palestinians who believe there is

nothing but words in what the u.s. president to say is not a harsh pressure on the prime minister of israel or at israel's our it's like crass it's like things like it's very hopeless like we hear the right things kind of. addressing the powerful pro israel lobby in washington president obama is make sure to be really firm that no pressure would be put on israel to advance the process and he's proposed solution was just a friends advice least cannot be imposed on the parties to the conflict. no vote at the united nations will ever create an independent palestinian state and the united states will stand up against efforts to single israel out at the united nations or in any international forum israel's legitimacy is not a matter for debate analysts say the contradiction of words and deeds has been a constant source of global frustration about the us foreign policy in the middle

east one example the obama administration has called these really settlement expansion illegitimate when it came to actually voting at the un security council to condemn the settlement expansion is illegal the u.s. veto the resolution the failure of the united states to deal effectively with your israel palestine issue. the double standards that we have actually apply the president made a very strong case but we should not tolerate civilians being bludgeoned. by their rulers but we do nothing when the major rallies do all these things for the palestinians the cost of all the pretty high in terms of our credibility and persecution internationally and that's not an important survey suggests president obama's ratings in the muslim world are as low as ever experts say the inconsistency with which the u.s. reacted to different episodes of the arab uprising is to blame president obama's speech on thursday was seen as a way to reach out to the arab world and say the u.s.

supports men and women of the street as opposed to suppressive looks but it seems he's words resulted in more confusion about u.s. policies particularly when it came to this really palestinian conflict. said what he said in the last speech for the world. most of the palestinians feel frustrated. and also i was reading in. the media that they are also. so i don't know who is not the i don't know. president obama is facing pressure from both the international community that has long been suggesting that was a solution at the nine hundred sixty seven border life is part of that solution and its ally israel which find that proposal unrealistic president obama's attempts to please both the international community and this will seem to have resulted in yet another nonstarter in the mean east peace process i'm going to check our reporting

from washington r.t. . next as nato bombs continue to fall across libya still no sign of an end to the bloodshed in deadlock russia has called for a cease fire between the libyan government of the opposition in order to stop the violence there self of foreign minister sergei lavrov met with rebel representatives here in the russian capital to try to help resolve the conflict over the rebel opposition while refusing to hold talks with gadhafi did pledge its commitment to future dialogue with russia during a visit to moscow by the libyan government envoys last week russia declared its support for u.n. and african union mediating efforts they could after representative said that they are ready to withdraw from conflict areas then but only when the rebels drop their weapons and nato stops bombing moscow says the alliance carrying out his campaign in libya has so far failed to act in accordance with un resolutions. or i'd like now to our other top story israel and palestinian relations let's

talk a bit more about this now with investigative journalist allison weird she's joining us from washington d.c. hi allison thanks for being on the program tonight when barack obama met with the israeli prime minister last week he firmly stressed the peace of the middle east should be based on those pre-one nine hundred sixty seven borders but then after criticism from israeli leader appeared to soften his stance a bit of me is washington putting israel's foreign policy before its own. always sadly that's been the case for many years and even though some people had hoped that barack obama would be the candidate of change as he portrayed himself there we're seeing no change it is again putting israel's interests ahead of america so you're not surprised at all by this. apparent softening of line over what just forty eight hours no i'm not we're very aware of the israel lobby its quite powerful it was played a major role in getting mr obama elected and he was speaking at a path that was

a clear indication of still going to help out in that lobby so it was not a surprise despite the parma said it is a fast moving world things need to change when israel's position appears to be cut a trap in washington between trying to accommodate its main middle east on one hand in the arab world on the other but i mean president obama's no less still stressing his commitment to the jewish state do you think washington's patience will wear out one day soon though well i think netanyahu is pandering to the right wing and i think that they are expecting that it will be a more conservative president next time either. a different democrat will get the nod or it will be a republican or obama will be forced into a more an asterisk so i think right now it's netanyahu is who is calling the shots not president obama looking at the palestinian side of that they're planning to unilaterally appeal to the u.n. later this year to recognize their independence it is speech late last week bomb

a very mentally oppose that what is in washington will do if the u.n. actually does back a separate state for the palestinians. well i'm sure that they're probably already doing all of a lot of pressuring behind the scenes so i suspect that there are. bribes and press about financial aid so will these seized by countries or not received becoming on how they vote that they're so i suspect that kind of prick pressure will continue and will grow greater for the really does go against what washington is saying is that and again it's not washington i would like to emphasize that a growing number of american citizens are appalled at what our government is doing here it's very much at the top that this is going on but i think it will continue to go on and i think still pressure the u.n. and it's ironic because of course the united states read again our existence by a declaration of independence we did that unilaterally we didn't negotiate with the

british to give it to us so obama's asking the palestinians to just do something very different. than our own national history good point. for those who say with israel's position so rigid in how likely is it that the peace process will actually move forward any time soon. i think it's unlikely and the sad thing is even want to does move forward it's usually a charade it's not a true peace process because again the power israel holds so much of the power that a negotiation or to negotiation just cannot go forward in that kind of power unbalance i think with a growing awareness in the us especially on campuses i think that could start changing the game but it's early yet so it won't have a result yet but i think that was something i was leading from all screw things being all the programs appreciates it. thank you. opposition in georgia

to overthrow president because saakashvili by wednesday housed strong protests against what the instructors call a criminal regime have the police you know vice like grip for a third day in a row now please try to disperse the demonstrations the tear gas and rubber bullets russia is. saying it's a direct violation of human rights on monday the crowd marched the headquarters of georgia state television demanding that the rally be broadcast live president suffers from insults in hungary time and seems to be in no hurry to interrupt his visit a position need a new bridge nancy told me that despite everything precious people remain hopeful. and. he would not anticipate they. will. just take one and we will say that we have here i am absolutely sure we have played. fighting for. everything angel i can

including film you just these links i mean i know the seventies easy to use any kind of like that they will be share it east east was the deal it was them to say why. it is. a choice and evil very very seriously he's like that you can't which is coming from the state that immediately gave every media the receiving end i mean isn't that how it works and even if it is nevertheless real destroyed our people and. each of our resignation after. it have been a should really be. actions into a you know burjanadze world the georgian opposition claims president suckers for these actions for setting the quote revolt in motion and according to political experts the leaders know roughly losing support among his allies. this support of saakashvili has diminished drastically for several reasons well firstly the

war was not that much more in spite of the fact that while georgian population i'm not speaking even a georgian elite is not pro russian but the result of the war or not satisfactory for the for georgia secondly. this economic situation the country is not is not good because in the beginning of his presidency the support of the west of the european union and the united states was rather big now it has diminished for several reasons again well there was crisis but also the policy of circus really is not wise and it is not that much the quartet in the west so we may for see that through the group he is supporters will diminish and it will diminish drastically in the next few days it may be just part of the lead just the power of the opposition is growing that's the mystery that could bring

scott there given the unfolding situation in georgia. greece next is facing fresh also make some news for me remember the big criticism is failing to meet its payload obligations needs to step up its economic reforms to help reduce its huge national deficit as artie's country knows are reports now tensions between the country and its creditors a fast approaching boiling point. as famous greek businessman aristotle onassis once said to be successful keep looking tanned 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 borrowed big but it hasn't helped its success a modern country built in a glorious ancient civilization is on the brink of national financial disaster and some e.u. members which helped bail it out are no longer happy with the anti-crisis measures

taken by. we can't just choose solitary and then say that these countries can't continue as before we can't have a common currency but some get lots of occasion time and others very less so that won't work in the long. to the people of greece already suffering from severe job and wage cuts this statement was a slap in the face the. greeks are those guys lying in the sun and don't work well the reality is not that greeks work at least as much as other europeans i think that 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 a very uneven relationship inside the us supposedly. a union though 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 it shouldn't be the problem for the wealthy european countries our research has shown up about greek could leave the euro area without any 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 the despair is evident in the shuttered stores all across athens 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 what's the true of some shop owners bori open after a few days on the beach for many these windows of opportunity are permanently closed . ironically it seems at this time it's the greeks who should have been aware of

those bearing gifts the. bailout of one hundred billion euros has mired the country in crippling debt and caustic a delicate political challenge between athens and its european partners over what happens next the rising tension between the two is causing thought which some say now threaten the entire unity i'll keep european union itself catherine as are about r.t. athens greece. if you're a web site r.t. dot com you can read it greece is far from being the only troubled european economy splaying may follow suit the soaring unemployment harshest arithmetics trick of mass protests all over the country come over the online tonight also on a lighter note if you're a car file you love this classic american paul vegas and soviet era volga have been cruising the streets of moscow in a drive a nice whether it's to find out where these antique automobiles are heading what it was all about. putin's office says the

allegations of the former chief of the international monetary fund against russia's prime minister are ridiculous but only strauss karmas reportedly accused putin of being part of a plot to have him fired from his post the british daily mail newspaper explained that before his arrest of sexual abuse charges strokes can voiced concern the city could victim to a conspiracy in an interview with a french t.v. channel a colleague of strauss carnes said the chief told him that russia and france were trying to stop him running for the presidency it's alleged that strauss card was worried that if he wasn't allowed a clean exit from the i.m.f. he wouldn't be able to announce his candidacy so scans currently your calling trials for putin's press attire shows shows that the accusations are entirely baseless. very interesting because you're from minister gordon for the last three years and i've never heard such a weird states. put such a crazy average that it simply does not have. in any sense and in big

and i don't see any sense from and i know that a t.v. company and that's to m.p. i think fran's. was the first mention was this weird average. but it wasn't so why don't. print squares french press so in now i think one british paper be too dark. but i don't think that you will have any continuation because it is simply something victor non-peak cannot be a member of it is not nothing to do with to. even with sense of humor will do use a brief severe weather conditions continue to batter the southern states of america bringing quote total devastation as has been reported to widespread damage at least eighty nine people killed in the city of joplin alone for a massive tornado blasting his way across the southwestern state officials fear the
