a comma sets out what's in store for the future i'm not holding it back right now to bring you the full story in business there on twenty minutes to. one pm in the russian capital you're watching r.t.m. arena joshua welcome to the program no returns or 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 benjamin netanyahu repeated his assertion that peace settlement based on such lines will undermine the country's security a few days ago barack obama called on israel to accept a proposal backed by the un and russia but such a suggestion from the jewish state's closest ally was met with have a criticism going back to the nine hundred sixty seven borders will force israel to give up illegal settlements inside. do you land something tell of the was not ready

to surrender human rights lawyer a new card says washington's calls for peace. action. when he spoke on thursday his top speech basically said that he wants to negotiate from the pre nine hundred sixty seven borders with lance wops which already assumes that there would be a recognition of the settlements that existed at the settlements would go anywhere this by their equal status under international law but notice that it is a package as he doesn't say anything different he says that it will not be the one nine hundred sixty seven borders because of like slops lancelot's means nor return to sixty seven borders but your islam and the surrounding settlements that are illegal around jerusalem will become facts on the ground as israel has once it is try to meet reality with the creation of an addict nation wall when in fact the basic premise of international law firm the one nine hundred forty nine armistice line as the line along which a palestinian state should be gone that said i think that it becomes really

irrelevant anyway to discuss this because basically what is at the table with the us is offering to the palestinians is not sovereignty or statehood what there are very offering is this where they have some sort of autonomy in bulk to stand very similar to black townships in south africa or reservations here in the united states while barack obama may be struggling to win peace in the middle east palestinians are taking the initiative into their own hands here in moscow hamas officials are seeking russia's help to resolve the arab israeli conflict let's cross live now to our correspondent peter all of this got more for us so peter just white house of the delegation been saying. delegation from both sides are being in moscow to talk with foreign minister sergei lavrov than later on tuesday they hold a news conference this will tell journalists exactly what is called out of that meeting know what all of us really put behind them what is. a history of of

division sometimes this is division on the fourth of may they signed an agreement in cairo to say that they will work together to try and create a state of palestine. they said that they will try and form a united government that you know ideally state a new state of palestine and they said they'll be looking to put this to the u.n. in september to try and get backing from them they're both fatah under must it say there's talk of the nine hundred sixty seven borders to be brought up between president obama and the israeli pm benjamin netanyahu that was it was a good sign but it was a little bit too little too late and it wasn't anything that was particularly turning their heads. but they did however say one must have said that they will not recognize israel and fatah of preferred to israel as the the main stumbling block in a peace process in the middle east one of the most interesting things to come out of the press conference out of the press conference by

a massive fossil was they said that it's well i must say that russia would give their full backing to us to a palestinian state now this is something we're yet to clarify from mr love rose office the foreign ministry having give us anything or not just yet that's only coming from hamas but according to them russia would block a palestinian state. right here thanks so much indeed for bringing us the latest on the talks. and other news now barack obama is continuing his european tour the president's in london eyes first state visit to the u.k. where he will attend meetings with both the prime minister and the queen and try to put pressure on david cameron on matters such as a european missile the fans shield and again a stand in turn cameron is hoping the presidents will endorse he's controversial spending cuts are lower and it 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 greece 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 weren't prepared for the uprisings in the middle east and north africa it might not be easy though u.s. sources are saying britain cutting defense spending could harm 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 might have liked but also be talking about afghanistan and the u.s. will be trying to persuade the british army nourse 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 harboring terrorists and to bomb it will be

asking cameron to do more to combat british muslim extremism the u.s. will also ask britain to reassure russia about the sizing of the missile defense shield in poland all in all the so-called special relationship between the u.s. that u.k. is far from over whatever that means to the rest of the world's more image reporting there while coming out drug dealers in the russian capital are last seen round. this is house of moscow activists of trying to stop the menace threat in the country with waterproofed i. find out why vigilantes are going to such lengths and whether it's even in line with. thousands of protesters have been rallying for several days now in georgia with a goal to overthrow president saakashvili. 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 was tear gas and rubber bullets saying a violates fundamental human rights opposition parties claim early elections are needed to stop what they're calling a criminal regime using the funds and disaster the main opposition leader you know gordon oncet told r.t. that people will continue to protest even if the government uses force. we have played it out this yeah i think for. everybody to like him including from the film he just these look a lot of me we go into an early age the issue of the country i know that that means easy to use any kind of work that they will be sure that if you believe us to believe it was them to sit why. it is a shame i know they do it with people who it is a very seriously case like that you can't which is coming from the state that may be every bit every meeting we have receiving from asian workers haiti that they

have played it nevertheless it will not have any illicit drugs or people. would have. predicted a chance of a stand. there and they should really be able to fit the game which is into it. according to political expert or a conference because saakashvili is policies are not popular in georgia and he is already losing support among his allies. this support of saakashvili has diminished drastically for several reasons. he cannot execute in the country 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 a 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 of the opposition is growing. so have various our here in our team back on terra firma. three crew from the international space station have landed safely in present star join us for all the details of mission control in the. 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 ends justify the means if it helps save lives and 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 named wieman and youngsters every day in russia alone some are fighting their own controversial battle against the threat cases customers they arranged to meet alleged drug dealers and the one thing is that is fine is suspect is a drug pusher they serve them a black mark and leave them red faced. people have to know their enemies or they were quite people will be afraid to go out next time because the next time police may be 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'd used handcuffs to force them to kick their habit they've also marks drug dealers houses to shame them in the community but it is our uprising against the drug dealers do you think it is 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 the mob justice occurs when people become disillusioned by official efforts that the public take in the law into its own hands is an unwelcome trend work thing for the 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 morden russia past amounts of money has been blown on reducing drug demand and treating addicts as statistics are just getting more and more gloomy. this is how the moscow activists apply. to stop the madness threaten the country with warts approved by the mob do as they say will have to hide from the public for at least three weeks some a skeptical about their methods others even accuse them of who could he's put the

end to drug vigilantes argue their form of justice is worth it if it helps save at least one life. t. mosco. and most of the heroin used by addicts in russia comes from ghana stan and pakistan r.t. caught up with us on a dance anti-drug chief to find out what's being done to stand in our current strait and watch that full interview in just over an hour's time here in our. now the libyan capital has awoken to the heaviest nato shelling there since the beginning of the international campaign tripoli reports three people were killed and dozens injured during twenty minutes of strikes i mean target appears to be water conducts nato aircraft have been fiery on tripoli almost every night in attempts to destroy the military arsenal of the libyan leader the latest attack comes as france and u.k. announce their decision to deploy helicopters to escalate their strike power.

environment of space and also many technical experiments and receiving space vehicles up there they've also seen in some rather interesting anniversaries the spent the new year up there they saw that multiple times because of the time differences here on earth and they also saw in fifty years since year ago daryn was the first man in space and they called it a special video message to thank all of those involved and to mark that very special anniversary and they received the last ever u.s. endeavor space shuttle on its mission up there it brought some equipment up to the assess and then they waved goodbye to that for the last time they've been up there for six months they're now back down safe on earth and all the people down there who have just received them in this step in kazakhstan will be trying to make sure that they receive a proper welcome back on earth. some bargain there iran has announced it's planning to impose sanctions against twenty six u.s. officials for violating human rights the iranian parliament has accused them of

escalating terrorism and drug trafficking to find out more or less cause live now to professor size of the hundreds of morandi who is into iran for us this morning thank you for being here with us in the program so testing sounds like. groundless tit for tat accusations by the iranian government. but i think the view really in tehran is that the united states and its allies including members of the you are basically the countries that are violating human rights more than any other country in the world are constantly waging wars in afghanistan iraq and now and libya. killing and murdering hundreds of thousands of people and you also have according to afghanis. american military is deeply involved in the drug trade in afghanistan and so on many members of the nato forces and as you know. opium

production in the production of drugs in afghanistan since the fall of the taliban has increased almost thirty four old according to some statistics and some officials in addition to that for example the siege on gaza which is illegal and barbaric and where ordinary women and children are made to suffer it is being done with the support of the united states and the you so basically what the iranians want to do is they want to break this culture where the americans and the europeans constantly as if they are the center of the world as if they are more civilized than others whereas in reality the harm that they've been causing to the world the president of i guess running what sanctions are likely to be taken against the u.s. officials. well i'm not familiar with the parliament and visitors but i think what is important for them is not the actual sanctions themselves it is breaking this this year zero centric model that has been imposed

upon the west and the rest of the world where basically europeans and americans or . right males. decide who is allies and who is humane and human and who is not whereas as i said before the wars that we now see are all caused by these very same powers and the regimes of all who were brought into power by these governments for example saddam hussein was supported in bath by the un the united states the taleban without the power by the united states and its allies and of course the most despotic regimes in the middle east are supported by the u.n. the united states now the issue of minority rights for example muslim rights in europe where women many women can no longer wear head scarves and so on places and places of work and in the united states where muslims are put in jail for giving funding to palestinian groups who are helping orphans in the gaza strip.

these are all violations of human rights and according to people in this part of the world and it should be addressed well the u.s. and its allies have repeatedly impose sanctions on tehran but how are these sanctions likely to affect the country's nuclear program. they're not going to have any effect at all and furthermore are saying impose the last trade iran will do with europe and north america and indeed iran has already found alternatives for most of its trade so in the long run what it effectively does is it decreases their influence over iran and iran has been able to because of this that the sanctions find new partners both in latin america in the far east in the indian subcontinent and in the long run the country is that hurt the most are those countries who wish

to have some sort of influence over iran and which are losing them because they are no longer have much trade with a country or a decreasing trade. iranian president ahmadinejad earlier last stars of rock obama for his comments on spreading the tide of revolution in the middle east but does that reveal that i didn't die is running something scared it will happen in this country too. well again i think people here see it the other way around though the speech by obama was pretty hypocritical the way in which he dealt with different countries like bahrain where he effectively considered the majority of bahrain equivalent to a minority in egypt if you look at the text and you know there is a there are a lot of inconsistency in his text but i think those who've read this speech or watched this speech feel that it is the united states that is deeply concerned that it is losing hold over the middle east the iranians on the other hand why aren't more and i think they want more and more revolutions because the more countries

that revolt against the current germany and this feyerick regimes which are backed by the west. as we are know western countries are deeply involved in trying to bring about regime change for example in countries like iran but the more independent countries around and more and the more revolutions the more western countries are going to be forced to diversify their assets to try to bring about some sort of control over the region and that i think will limit their influence over the region as a whole because the more they're spread out the less the fact of their actions are and of course that if the people come to power iran is a very popular in the middle east according to polls taken by american centers and they will improve relations between iran and these countries so basically the iranians believe that it is the americans who are running scared as you call it and

the iranians and the people of the region at large are the winners in our this. was perhaps their side mohammad marandi from the university of tehran thanks very much for sharing your views with this very clear around. and that brings us out today here in our t.v. business news is next with katrina. hello and welcome to business with r.t. in around five hours janek stocks will kick off trading in new york russia's web search market maker has raised one point three billion dollars in its i.p.o. it's the biggest float by an internet company since google went public in two thousand and four oversubscribed by fifteen times the epic start was priced at five the expected range all eyes are now on how trading will start the needle and half past six moscow time once things get underway we'll be talking to the c.e.o. of yandex live from their stake in the internet economy in russia could more than

double in the next four years boston consulting group says it will grow from the current gunpoint six percent to three point seven percent of g.d.p. but the groups that ladislav the tangos says there are still a number of factors limiting development the good news is one point six percent if you can reduce that for the oil and gas pump one of which is a very substantial russia if you please for good is to become two percent two percent of more or less with an equally reasons green have to be it would go prevent this number from the hiring of the law a proportion of the e-commerce and what prevents e-commerce from developing is actually not the internet's great self but i truly the physical part of the problem will be economists with people don't trust agreements so the payment systems become people through growth so in a way rushes through his work to go. and use the yorkers big infrastructure of a purely political infrastructure but also physical infrastructure. let's have

a look at the markets now oil futures are still fluctuating but had some of the previous losses helped by china's energy demands out there that again the u.s. dollar is limiting the rebound asian markets the nikkei closed in the black with the hang saying lead to positive as concerns continue that europe's debt crisis may spread to larger economies however sony corp is up two point take the same despite of preventing statement on the fiscal net loss of two hundred sixty billion yen the two thousand and ten european shares drifted higher in early trade with german metals prices supporting miners although investor sentiment remained fragile on persistent concerns about the eurozone sovereign debt crisis and here in moscow the markets are continuing their gains after monday's major losses with the us he is getting around one point two percent this hour. now let's have a look at some individual share moves on the my six energy majors are among the

a hybrid version thereof on the timing and this is still unclear but our view is that this is going to be announced with the next couple of weeks and it will be a positive catalyst for the russian oil stocks and russia could cut its budget deficit by more than half this year finance minister alexy could bring says record oil prices will also help boost investment and pay off debts incurred during the crisis. if can lead were 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 down to one one point four percent this is possible that all is treating over one hundred five dollars per barrel plus extra oil revenue will also be used for investment. and that's the latest business for now we'll have more for you in just under an hour's time stay with us the news headlines next.
