addressing the u.s. congress the israeli prime minister says he's ready for a quote painful compromises with the palestinians that stands firm in rejecting a peace plan a backed by wash. not just special but essential relations president obama reaffirms close ties with a lot of them had during his visit to the u.k. but behind the smiles and handshakes there are strong differences too over coffee. and a controversial kerber rush on the drive these five year old unconventional battle against drugs as they feel the official war is not bringing the desired results.

eleven pm here in the russian capital you're watching r t thanks for joining us now to our top story israel's prime minister has stated he's ready for quote painful concessions but flatly denied his state would return to the preaching one nine hundred sixty seven borders with the palestinians well during his speech in the u.s. congress benjamin netanyahu raided his country's friendship with washington but failed to give any solutions for the middle east peace process artie's damaged wraps up what's been said in washington today. he was aggressing a cheering fully supportive crowd every second sentence was met with old gratian standing ovation prime minister netanyahu delivered the same old speech he said israel would not negotiate with a government that they labeled as terrorists and israel would god have to go back to the one hundred sixty seven border lies which would mean giving up east jerusalem and the west bank in the meantime israel continues building settlements

on the occupied territories despite international condemnation of those settlements as illegal palestinian leaders who arrived in moscow to seek russia's mediation in the peace process clearly said that as long as israel continues the legal settlement expansion as long as they refuse to even consider sharing jerusalem negotiations are doomed and they really are and any attempts of the international community to help resolve the longstanding conflict are being blocked by the united states the obama administration has blocked the u.n. security council resolution that would have condemned the israeli settlements mention the eagles and the road over a resolution that would have given some kind of a mandate to force these released to stop it president obama also said the u.s. would have poles the uighurs recognition of the state of palestine and we do know that because the unions all want to push for the recognition of their state of the land in september let me add that the whole of the international community supports the idea of the two state solution and the nine hundred sixty seven border lines as

a basis for that solution although president obama said he shares that say you it was nothing but words in what he has said because at the same time he said aid going back to nine hundred sixty seven border lies doesn't actually mean going back to nine hundred sixty seven water lines he was talking about land swaps swaps that palestinians are likely to accept be he said peace cannot be imposed on the parties of the conflict and see the u.s. will block any one of you and attempts to resolve the conflict and today's absolutely nonstop standing ovation in the u.s. congress is a good indication that the u.s. will stand by israel no matter what he was despite the fact that prime minister netanyahu speech to congress. pitted the word peace many many times and it was all supposed to be about peace he did not feel to make some harsh statements regarding your read which world sees its rates right through the wall that tweets all security and he hinted that a military threat could force him to give up its nuclear program in the military

nature of which is rule seems to me to be sure of although there is no proof of that prime minister netanyahu said the only time you read seriously contemplated giving up its nuclear program was in two thousand and three when there was a threat of a military attack from the united states that's according to prime minister netanyahu and here is a question could it be that the u.s. congress is is seriously considering threatening iran with war. in the minutes and yahoo has said his country will not sit down for peace talks while posting infractions fatah and hamas maintaining their deal of foreign affairs expert stephen soon as dictating internal policies of other countries is not a viable premise for peace negotiations. no country has a right to say oh we'll only need to shake you if you were in your coalition government a certain way and especially since you look at the israeli cabinet you look at a coalition government in the us and yahoo you have parties that are as extreme as hamas in the other direction or is it say i'll sign has no right to exist. parties

i want to engage in these cleansing of the palestinian population from the entire territory west of the jordan in the forty's and support these far right wing military is paramilitary groups simply terrorist you have murdered the palestinian civilians so there's a clear double standard here and unfortunately united states you'll be buying into this double standard if i making summer plans that hamas not be part of the government yet seeing no problem with comparable parties being part of the israeli government well the american president is in london for the second day of his four nation european trip well during his first state visit to the united kingdom obama has met with the queen and the prime minister david cameron however a dialogue between the two sides has been tested following disagreements on key issues such as the conflict in libya as well as economic policy he's lore of it is covering events from the british capital. president obama arrived early in the u.k.

to avoid disruption by volcanic ash which is again hits flights in the u.k. he's staying at buckingham palace as a guest of the queen while he and prime minister david cameron meet here at ten downing street to establish closer security ties between britain and the u.s. the idea is to create a joint security strategy board which will bring together leading figures from washington and london to deal jointly with security and foreign policy challenges it's a unique arrangements 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 a struggle cameron and obama links to the cold war in she states pressed it might not be easy to us still say that britain cutting defense spending could harm is cooperation with the us and although cameron and the barmah have on to state pledge

to keep our pressure on libya's colonel gadhafi to comply with u.n. resolutions the two sides are being divided so you can libya with the u.s. more reticent about its involvement than britain likes it likes the will to talk about afghanistan with the u.s. trying to persuade the british army not just to pull out troops they say this year both countries see two thousand and fifteen as the target date for withdrawing troops but it's still unclear what the terms of that would be terrorism bills they will be adjusted with the u.s. also big new cases to cool to its tough line on pakistan harboring terrorists and requesting the cameron tells more to come back to british muslim extremism the u.s. will also ask person to reassure russia about the sighting of a missile defense shield in poland all in all the so-called special relationship between the u.s. and the u.k. is alive and kicking and looks set to deep. but of course. that was already met

reporting from the british capital and now for more on obama's visit to the u.k. we're joined by a phil recent expert on terrorism and political violence thank you very much for joining us now are obama and cameron are planning to establish closer security ties by creating a special joint security venture but what does this move mean for the future of the two nations foreign policies i don't think it will change foreign policy in any dramatic way but i think what's happened is that both countries were people wrong footed by events in the middle east and you've got seismic changes now taking place in the world and i think that they want to make sure that they're on the same page now remember that britain already shares a huge amount of intelligence with the united states its armed forces work closely together and in fact britain's nuclear deterrent which it claims is independent from my understanding it's not actually because it requires navigational information from us to censor quite so we can actually launch

a nuclear missile on its own so in fact what is happening today is largely symbolic and i think what a problem it is trying to do is recreate what bush he called it because of the willing so he's trying to get his traditional allies together to confront the really dramatic changes that are occurring in the middle east or are you saying that they i least are trying to make sure that they are on the same page regard to issues but in fact the u.k. and the u.s. don't actually see eye to eye on separate approaches to for example i'm gonna start it now libya well is this so-called special relationship showing the strain. well you can certainly argue that there have been some strains certainly libya was strained in terms of initially want to do and i think that it's still a problem because what britain and france does require is the united states backing it's the shows the weakness of any other military power now i think that this is largely symbolic i don't think there are fundamental strains but perhaps this will

provide a forum for dialogue to prevent those strains emerging publicly in the way they did prior to the attack on libya ok well during the visit there were muslim protests against obama's visit to the u.k. blaming obama basically for u.s. nationals in iraq afghanistan and libya now why is the u.k. involved in boris clearly unpopular with the british public the special relationship phrase was so deeply contested one when blair was in power and his relationship with bush was seen in britain to be much more one of approval rather than a profit so i think it's an attempt to day to to actually with the royalty bring it in buckingham palace the newly married couple and all of this sort of stuff to build up the image of the special relationship and yes in a sense it will disguise unpopular and most of these rules remember are unpopular

with a majority of british people ok now i really a pointed out leader. has landed with terrorist attacks in revenge for osama bin laden step i was in your case continued involvement in such wars in essence supporting america placing the british public in danger. the man who was responsible for the seven seventh's bombings that is july seventh bombings two thousand and five mohammad sidique khan he said explicitly that those bombs were planted because of the war going on in iraq and britain's involvement there now the british political establishment denied this repeatedly but obviously the foreign policy that involves aggression in muslim lands is the root cause of what we call terrorism and the attacks on the west so i think it's a shame if this focus is attention between britain and united states not on diplomatic solutions not on fair solutions in the middle east but on military solutions and i think that would be

a very negative thing that might come out of today's agreement thank you very much for insight fills me some expert on terrorism and political violence from down. nato planes have launched their heaviest air attacks on libya's capital of tripoli since the start of the coalition's campaign libyan officials say three people were killed and dozens injured but the main target reported to be colonel gadhafi compound the bargeman comes as france analysis its decision to deploy helicopters to escalate their strike power moscow says the alliance acting in libya has so far failed to act in accordance with the un resolution the russian foreign minister met the rebel representatives in moscow as part of an attempt at peace negotiation i'm talking about nato has ramped up aerial campaign and there via vested in journalist simon a soft says the coalition has other interests in the region other than gadhafi. the way it's going i think for nato is that you begin to feel that they're preparing

the ground for more ground troops right you know already offices of offices and so on inside of eastern libya and you just feel that they're beginning to prepare the way i think with ground troops but was originally specifically defending civilian targets civilians and city and so on and now has become much more offensive so the question is the targeting of gadhafi compound couple weeks ago the killing of assad and his grandchildren often were exactly is the story i think there's a question that has to be asked and i think you get the feeling that this is beyond yourself this is much more about strategically placing your forces inside a situ inside a region which is undergoing massive term war. well for more on the libyan stalemate and be abreast of the arab world log on to our web site that's our dot com here's a taste of what else we've lived out for you the e.u. issues of greece a fresh ultimatum saying albums needs to stop off economic reforms as it's failing to meet obligations. and officials are leaving

the amounts of money that's been stolen and has cut down the term for both of them by one year nonetheless they're still being accused of embezzling money laundering . of tens of billions of us dollars worth of oil however and we've heard that opposed he does not agree with this through in the form of how the whole what used to be one of russia's biggest oil companies and he says he's now going to appeal to the european court but was a thought in all because of our reporting from outside the court where the hearing took place earlier today. russian authorities are stepping up the war on drugs in the country but first some of the speed of progress just isn't fast enough now vigilante activists are taking the fight into their own hands but their actions are falling foul of the law artie's of many if emotional reports. gates 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 cross the globe and almost two hundred fifty maimed we men and youngsters every day in russia and some of their own controversial battle against the threat cases 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 their enemies or they look like people will be afraid to go out because next time police will be there. these guys aren't alone in 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 keep their habit they've also mocks 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. sociologist say not just as occurs when people become disillusioned by official efforts but the public taking the law into its own hands is an unwelcome trend hurting the border there are a lot of enthusiastic always striving to eradicate this horrible evil by any means possible of the women 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 vast 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 threatening the country with waterproof dye they must do as they say will have to

hide to the public for at least three weeks some are skeptical about their methods others even accuse them of who gets put the end to drug vigilantes all view their form of justice is worth it if it helps save at least one lot of. grief and often r r t. l most of the hair when he used by addicts and rushes traffic from afghanistan and pakistan largely caught up with islamabad's anti drug chief to find out what's being done to stem the flow of narcotics and the deadly lengths dealers will go to. getting the data in. and in france. and then it was then they were killed and it was just into the stomach and credit for this whole operation from the point of abduction killing all the inference and getting was going to four dollars because after going to the border which started the case and that is how he was treating the people

when we are getting the first recall to go to devastating tsunami it was of course a tragedy for japan but i think your thirty's your ability to given the information about what else was located in this territory because it is a big today and everyone's watching the radioactive exhibited which would have been to the disposal of the city's petrie's and plumes if you will stories to tell the world about it so that we could assess the damage because it was almost into the ocean steamer the tsunami submerged and in the waters receded. and after the tsunami the assuming the aftershocks which were suitable for them no one can remember anything like that before. if the area he was in so densely populated consequences would have been so. disastrous roasted realism from the tsunami in thailand in two thousand and twenty variables would build a tsunami warning system in all far east also there's a ban on building potentially dangerous so it is in its nami area the main lesson

will should learn from these catastrophes that we need to wait all the risks and decide which structures can be built in a potentially dangerous area and which cannot experience good for longer sure time now again to have a look at the latest business news with here we are. that's right time to get the latest on the world of business one of the most highly anticipated i.p.o.'s of this year is off and running shares and russia's most popular search engine source forty percent on their nasdaq debut well the google of russia's many call it priced its stock initially at twenty five dollars a share seventeen times oversubscribed the company's stock phrase one point three billion dollars that's. next and the biggest internet i.p.o. since google back in two thousand all of the timing could hardly be better as there's growing interest into stocks as demonstrated by successful show votes by

natural prices supporting minus bootsy is was around twenty four percent in the flight going to tag saw the same gains outpost how will investor sentiment remain for a dry one persistent concerns about big euro zone soaring. that process. here in moscow the markets have closed in the client with the r.t.s. up nearly two percent denies a close up of one and a half percent and if you majors were among the main gains as you can see supported by stronger commodity prices the castrol was not around three percent from brosnan in front two and a half percent banking stocks were also on the rise as bear panther on two percent and the black. role of nash from girl a capital says it's too early to celebrate the spice today. you know i've given up all the games so far this year and i think that now we can really start going back to the games that the russian market should be able to have with the would be oil price range or price is still about one hundred bucks however it really doesn't

really depend on russia or depends on what's happening in europe and i'm afraid they're they've got a lot of structural issues to deal with and i don't think i've dealt with them so far so i'm afraid we can see the downside. and in other news brush and still production crew six point six percent year on year this past quarter to almost twenty three million tons a report from crossing on suggests production should sell past pre-crisis levels this year boosted by the manufacturing and energy sectors michael virgil outlines the weaknesses and strengths of the russian still make us if you pick up the raw material self-sustained you know i've got all the material you call being an important element in the production of steel also self-sufficient i think on the flip side and probably the disadvantage would be a lot of the plants also could be some investment needs to go into that and also the remote sort of occasion so you know not all the infrastructure to make as

efficient competitive compared to other countries get a game saving of today's labor later still relatively cheap compared to some of the other regions in the world. ok not so i suppose for now we'll have more for you tomorrow. little.
