that is eighty one the russian capital you want your tea with miriam joshie no return to the nine hundred sixty seven borders that's the latest word from the israeli prime minister in reaction to the u.s. president's peace initiative addressing the powerful pro israel lobby in washington benjamin netanyahu repeated his assertion that such a move well on your mind the country's security is declared the nine hundred sixty seven borders indefensible several times after barack obama suggested a peace settlement should be based on these lines after israeli criticism the u.s. president has assured the jewish state of american support and stressed you borders will have to accommodate their reality on the ground by human rights lawyer who says washington's change of rhetoric doesn't bring a peace deal any closer. when he spoke on thursday his

speech basically said that he wants to negotiate from the pre from the one nine hundred sixty seven borders with lance wops which already assumes that there would be a recognition of the settlements that existed that the settlements would go anywhere this by their equal status under international law but notice that it is apec address he doesn't say anything different he says it will not be the one nine hundred sixty seven borders because of land swaps so where as he tried to appear more appealing on thursday morning on sunday he became very honest that the land swaps means no return to sixty seven borders but in the surrounding settlements that are illegal around jerusalem will become facts on the ground as israel has once it is tried to make reality with the creation of an annexation wall when in fact the basic premise in international law firm the one nine hundred forty nine armistice line as the line along which a palestinian state should legal that said i think that it becomes really

irrelevant anyway to discuss this because basically what is at the table with the u.s. is offering to the palestinians is not sovereignty for statehood what they're of or an offering is a state where they have some sort of autonomy and two stands very similar to black townships in south africa or reservations here in the united states and able to make a breakthrough with peace talks in the middle east morocco bombings continue his european tour the president's in london on his first visit to the u.k. were you will attend meetings with both the prime minister and the queen to try to put pressure on david cameron on matters such as the european missile defense shield and afghanistan in turn cam'ron is hoping the president will do or conversely spending cuts are reports now from the british capital. president obama will be staying here at buckingham palace as a guest of the queen while he and prime minister david cameron plan to establish closer security ties between britain and the u.s. the idea is to create a joint national security strategy for it is

a unique arrangement in which the u.s. will open up its highly secretive national security council to u.k. officials and it comes at a time when both countries admit they want prepared for the uprisings in the middle east and north africa it might not be easy for us though is this a britain cutting defense spending could tom its cooperation with the u.s. and the two sides have been divided over libya with the u.s. more reticent about its involvement than britain my suv likes also be talking about afghanistan and the u.s. will be trying to persuade the british army north to pull troops out later this year both countries see two thousand and fifteen as the target date for withdrawing troops terrorism will also be on the agenda with the us asking the u.k. to support its tough line on pakistan on hold during terrorists' hands of all that will be asking cameron to do more to combat british muslim extremism the u.s. will also britain to reassure russia about this icing of the missile defense shield

in poland all in all the so-called special relationship between the us that you say is far from over whatever that means for the rest of the world's lawrence reporting now the libyan capital has awoken to the heaviest new year shelling since the beginning of the international campaign tripoli reports three people were killed and dozens injured during twenty minutes strikes means hard appears to be compound near aircraft have been firing on tripoli almost every night and it's him student store the military arsenal of libyan leader the latest attack comes as france and you can you now see their decision to deploy our coffers to ask them what their strike power. coming up. here on r.t. drug dealers in the russian capital are left seeing red. this is how some activists of trying to stop the madness in the country with waterproof dye the moths do as they say will have to hide from the public for the

least three weeks. i now live to lansing these are taking these drastic measures and whether it's even legal. sounds of protesters have been rallying for several days now in georgia with a goal to overthrow president. the opposition has vowed to take radical action by wednesday saying that the current regime must go by them russia has condemned the dispersal of demonstrations with tear gas and rubber bullets saying it violates fundamental human rights opposition parties claim early elections are needed to stop what they are calling a criminal regime leading the country to disaster it's absolutely quote absolutely ruled out any early poll nevertheless the main opposition leader and you know burjanadze told r.t. that people will continue to protest even if the government uses force. we have like it is good it will make everything dangerous like him include being

grumpy silly just these who they got to be we don't want to leave a little bit of the country i know that they have been made easy to use any kind of worship and if they will get a share they need to feel it was a deal it was them to sit by. him at the same time i know they do it you people live again very seriously case by it which is coming from the state that it may be every day every media receiving it at nations because the workers have a duty even if it is nevertheless given any of this job or even people. it would. if you give a shit. nation really can't be that the game action figure. according to political aspirants. policies are not popular in georgia and he's already losing support among his allies the supporters of saakashvili has

diminished drastically for several reasons firstly the war was not that much for your ear in spite of the fact that well georgian population i'm not speaking even about georgian elite is not pro russian but the result of the war or not satisfactory for the for georgia secondly. this economic situation in the country is not is not good because in the beginning of his presidency of the support of the west of the european union and the united states was rather big you know 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 supported in the west so we may for see that. the group of 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 position is growing. russian authorities are stepping up the war on drugs in the country but for some the speed of progress just isn't fast enough now activists are taking the fight into their own hands but it's landing some of them in trouble with the law however the vigilantes say the answer justify the means if it helps save lives or reports. it said all is fair in love and war and perhaps even more say in the war on drugs drugs that killed two point five million people every year across the globe and almost two hundred fifty men women and youngsters every day in russia alone some are fighting their own control virtual battle against the threat posed as customers they arranged to meet alleged drug dealers and once they use it is find this suspect is a drug pusher they serve them

a black mark and leave them red faced. people have to know their enemies would be like people will be free to go out there because next time police need you there. these guys are not alone in rushing there and conventional methods of fighting against drugs their colleagues from the drug free city movement have been accused of torturing addicts after they used handcuffs to force them to kick their habit they've also marked drug dealers houses to shame them in the community. it is our uprising against the drug dealers do you think it's better to sit at home and watch how the drug dealers will be killing you we managed to unite our forces and declare war to the drug dealers. sociologists a mob just as occurs when people become disillusioned by official efforts but the public taking the law into its own hands is an unwelcome trend growth in our border there are a lot of enthusiastic who are striving to eradicate this horrible evil by any means

possible but when their actions don't comply with the law the law is against them for sure we can eradicate this evil but only by legal methods there are over five million drug users in more than russia this number has almost doubled in the last decade alone vast amounts of money has been blown on reducing drug demand and treating addicts a statistic said is getting more and more gloomy. this is how some moscow activists are trying to stop the menace threaten the country with warts approved by the mobs do as they say will have to hide from the public for at least three weeks some us skeptical about their methods others even accuse them of hooliganism put the end to drugs and entities all view their form of justice is more that if it helps save at least one lot. the most go. most of the

meanwhile the u.s. is also impose sanctions on the syrian president calling on him to leave the transition to democracy however middle east expert parsi believes it won't go was for. ours is when resolutions similar to that imposed on. syria is a much more complicated case because there are some other more important political actors in the region involved so i think a un resolution is much further down the line if at all obviously i mean we have first israel we have lebanon we have you ron involved it's also a question of who the people that might take over there is the internal dynamics of having a religious minority in a sense being in control of the state in this case the other whites president bush . and what will happen to them if there is a sudden swing in any other direction basically the you can see that there is a certain inherent logic to sanctioning countries and that is that actually starts to improve in a way to reward would be to remove sanctions or you would basically continue trying

to buy a ratcheting up of pressure and in the case of iran we are just continuing to play no part of this of what's happening in syria the latest sanctions but if you're the ones that deal with iran's economy that is cutting it off from the financial system if you will of the world is having an effect on the ringgit society and the economy at large but they were put in place primarily in order to affect iran's ability to acquire nuclear capability that might end up with a nuclear weapon and on that particular aspect i think they haven't had much of an effect yet. gotten i see coming to you live from moscow let's now take a look at what else is happening in the world the ash cloud from the erupting icelandic volcano is causing further disruption to air travel some flights remain grounded in scotland while a threat hangs over services in ireland and in one. direction of iceland's most active volcano the largest in one hundred years the ash in the atmosphere facts

law of the proportion of e-commerce and what prevents the comments from developing is actually not the internet itself but actually the physical problem so the problem with the economies of the people don't trust their payments so the payment systems become pretty was credit cards so in the way that russia still has work to go and work russian used to go up as the infrastructure of purely political infrastructure but also physical infrastructure. let's take a look at the markets now while futures paid some of their previous losses helped by china's energy demand data though again in the u.s. dollar is limiting the rebound the asian markets of open source tuesday with concerns continuing that europe's debt crisis may spread to larger economies that combined with sharp losses on wall street monday have led to the nikkei being flat and the hang saying just point one percent up this hour. here in moscow the markets

the world is producing right now a big. issue. iraq is a member of opec there will be a nation within opec how they will regulate the world and. ever try to predict what the. he will need for the supply outstrips dumont. of the oil price will be greater later than the core of the oil price if you look at the. paper audience and real barrels of oil that are traded that's probably the differences over ninety percent as plain as a real one so what this paper with the product of the price of oil. is guess. russia could cut its budget deficit by more than half the c that's according to finance minister alexei kudrin and this is record oil prices will also help boost

investment and pay off debts incurred during the crisis. if you mean we're using actual revenues to cut the budget deficit that's why this year we're planning to decrease the deficit from three point six percent don't have one one point four percent this is possible it all is treating over one hundred five dollars per barrel plus extra oil revenue will also be used for investment. that's all the business for now we'll have more for you in just under an hour's time stay with us now.
