the drone leader who told me kind of an issue marco is also still sort of the so tiago. with results mcconnell's beverly plaza hotel mccurry riviera hotel because cintra hotel macaron. come us under fatah hailed russia's help in paving the path for a palestinian state and as moscow hosts the two recently reconciled parties for talks on the middle east peace process. not just special but essential relations president obama reaffirms close ties with london during his visit to the u.k. but behind all the smiles and all the handshakes there are strong differences to overcome. plus an international trio of space a voyages later. steps bringing with them rather some unusual guests mutated flights from the international space station.

global news live in the center of moscow this is a hot seat now to palestinian factions in south korea recently forged ties as both fatah and hamas are in moscow seeking russia's backing for the creation of an independent palestinian state they met with the foreign minister sergei lavrov and map out that path towards the resolution of the arab israeli conflict he's drawn up by his following the visit. of delegation consisted of members of hamas and fatah those two organizations decided they were going to work together on the fourth of may they signed an agreement in cairo putting behind them a sometimes turbulent history between the two groups they said they've now put that behind them completely and a willing to work together in order to achieve a palestinian state and said that they will work together. a government of
10:02 am
a palestinian state now they're going to put forward these plans to the u.n. general assembly in september they met with their foreign minister sergey lavrov to tell him all of this and following that meeting me telling patients seemed happy for what they heard from mr lavrov that russia was ready to give the palestinian state a palestinian state their full backing. we're not planning to proclaim independence unilaterally next september we're going to call on the u.n. to recognize a state and foreign minister sergei lavrov has reaffirmed russia's support for this process we have to hear. from the foreign ministry though to confirm what was said in that meeting israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu really slammed down proposals for a return to nine hundred sixty seven borders now the palestinian delegation that's been in moscow at the side of it said that they will never recognize the state of israel the delegates that have been here said that they still view israel as the
10:03 am
main stumbling block on the road to peace however both sides as it made up this delegation said that they were happy about mr obama putting forward. a plan that would see a return to nine hundred sixty seven borders however that didn't go far enough for them. it's not the first time the u.s. has made statements on the need to recognize palestine in its nine hundred sixty seven borders in any case this is a positive sign but unfortunately it's not enough because the initiative says nothing about jerusalem. which has been an indispensable part of the palestinian lands occupied in one thousand nine hundred so the usa being a key player in the middle east for just observing that be all resolutions made by international institutions and above all by the un what the latest us attempts to rekindle the peace process in the middle east seeming to be days in the water palestinian delegates from hamas and fatah here in moscow to put forward their
10:04 am
ideas to bring peace to the region. reporting right there one of the israeli prime minister has flatly denied that his state would return to the pre nine hundred sixty seven borders with the palestinians that was the solution that barack obama had been calling for twenty minutes netanyahu reaffirmed his position in front of the u.s. pro israeli lobby because ahead of his address to congress he said returning to pre nine hundred sixty seven borders would leave his country indefensible and he blamed the palestinians unwillingness to recognize the jewish state for the deadlock in a conflict a few days ago barack obama called on israel to accept the proposal backed by the u.n. e.u. and russia and israel met with the suggestion with heavy criticism as the deal would mean withdrawing from occupied palestinian territories right now let's get some more details on this on the middle east peace process and the role that washington is playing in it we'll talk to journalist and human rights activist our gideon spiro so we've seen tension develop between the u.s. and israel on the issue of borders between israelis and palestinians and that's
10:05 am
a bit unusual to see them going head to head using the obama administration is saying the president will keep pressing his vision upon netanyahu. where do you go. with a big disappointment. for . him you would draw the north. with long. united states. money with weapons and diplomacy. will not be over a thing it did i don't know did the side of the united states in order to push israel back from go to place an order to establish a palestinian state a viable state bulldozer sixty seven while you talk about washington and
10:06 am
financially funding israel given the military hardware but let's talk about this because when barack obama had made his call for the palestinian state he basically had to back pedal eye when he addressed the israeli lobby conference he really just backpedaled and try to save face there are some might say you think this is a chance that washington will one day get fed up pandering to the needs of israel. from what i can see from here washington is really almost totally and there are no. satisfied to these achievements and no pressure on this really. from here at least i was listening to the speech of obama. because food phrases and words not one word of criticism very disappointing. all right journalist and human rights
10:07 am

10:08 am
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 u.s. sources to say britain cutting defense spending could harm its cooperation with the u.s. on the two sides have been divided over libya with the u.s. more reticent about its impose more than britain might have liked they'll 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 tacoma will be asking cameron to do more to combat british muslim extremism the u.s. will also rest in to reassure russia about the sizing of the missile defense shield

verdict in the european court of human rights. ron has announced it's planning to impose sanctions against twenty six u.s. officials for violating human rights as comes as washington prepares to hit several foreign firms to be sanctioned for doing business with iran with the e.u. well with the e.u. rather already lining restrictive measures on tyrone over its nuclear program site and one hundred marandi it says iran wants to put an end to what it calls us a lot of sinners in the region 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 they're constantly waging wars in afghanistan iraq and now in libya. killing and murdering hundreds of thousands of people in addition to that for example do you see john garza which is the illegal and barbaric where ordinary women and children
10:11 am
are made to suffer it is being done with the support of the united states in 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 the more civilized than others whereas in reality the harm that they've been causing to the world is unprecedented i think that what is important not the actual sanctions themselves it is breaking this euro centric model that has been imposed upon the west and the rest of the world. with r.t. live from moscow now that her plans have launched their heaviest air attacks on libya's capital tripoli since the start of the coalition's campaign libyan officials say that three people were killed dozens were injured with the main target reported to be his compound. comes as france announced his decision to deploy helicopters to escalate their strike power moscow says the alliance acting

10:25 am
can see today the markets all on the rise well it's been mostly down in the past month so what is the general sentiment in the markets it's nice to have the balance that we've seen today it's been a pretty awful last couple of weeks and so we've given up all of the gains that we've had so far this year and the markets. you know the markets of been looking for any kind of positive news what's happening in europe is really speaking i think everybody in the russian market will. right and how the markets reach the lowest level we can see them going any lower way in the near future but it's going to be based i really hope that we've we've reached the bottom. you know haven't given up again so far this year and i think that now we can really start going back to the gains that the russian market should be able to have with the with the oil price of oil prices still above one hundred bucks however it really doesn't really depend on russia depend on what's happening in europe and i'm afraid they've got
10:26 am
