arms manufacturers that make the live the life of israeli citizen any better certainly not but it does make the life of israeli prime minister and yelping because you know that the one weapon bill has by which you can find the boat that it already hoping to protest with is war if they're going to be another war in the middle east if there's going to be violent clash with any of the or or with the. lebanon and then it all with iran then in the name of a state of emergency you can recruit and the young people and don't no longer be in the street in the. plaza demonstrating that it will be uniform and fighting a war and that will be the end of the protest i asked my twitter account last kaiser at twitter to ask you some questions and one of those questions referred to war and i get that a second but before i do continue on these protests so you're saying that the needs
7:53 am
of the warfare state in israel is primarily a warfare state cannot go along paris with the welfare state so the protesters are they how are they going to square that circle is there any way to transform the israeli economy which is currently now almost entirely contingent upon the war how are they going to transform the israeli economy what can they do to make israel something less of a pariah and more of a functioning economy that's interested in the betterment of itself and those around it and these many column is not really contingent or immediate on or. military part of the economy's growth twelve percent that's a lot that's more than any other country in the world probably but it's at least eighty eight percent which is not military related and these eighty percent or more most of the people that's where and people where you find the doctors the teachers . it is social workers people who are who are barely making ends meet without
7:54 am
addressing the deep roots of injustice in the israeli palestinian society in the fact that there are millions of others there were a few g.'s who have every right to return but they're not allowed to do it without addressing the issue and the fact that israel to close it defiance of the jewish state so that palestinians cannot be equal citizens in israel without these issues and of course the occupation of the west bank in the gaza strip where about a third of the population are not citizens their subjects without any rights that are addressing i'd written these three issues there is not going to be a real change in the way that these are society works but we were talking before about about violence and should the demonstrators use mine and i would say it's very clearly divided the protesters should not turn violent they don't need to anything to to change israeli society the need to do exactly the opposite they need
7:55 am
to refuse to take up arms and any israeli young israeli who refuses to become a soldier for yet another imperialist war in the middle east yet another kind of distraction by the israeli government to distract from from the social issues they're going to bring the real change they're going to allow the most important issues to come to the fore issues of justice well said salvia do you believe the tipping point of a nasa louvin toward refusing to serve an israeli defense. is upon us for the first time there is a clear understanding of most of the protests there is that it's likely that the government is going to try to use war to silence the demonstrations and that the security and excuse is really nothing nothing more than an excuse and that's that's something very that is never been the case before cried maestro what role was the increase in food prices played in regards to the recent. mass protests i said that
7:56 am
it could lead to more food related riots the food prices were the trigger for the right the first thing that protesters a organized the first kind of protest was overcrowded she writes and they did this by use of facebook and twitter and they organized method consumer boycott within israel and they were excited by the success of this campaign and i think that was one of the reasons that it felt more confident to move on to other issues because prodigies is important but it's not the most important thing the things that people and need much much more effectively in the cheese but yeah prices in israel actually very expensive more expensive than they are in countries where the income per capita is double and the reason for that of course is the massive burden of security the cost of the army the docking age all right second class and it comes from random u.k. humans on twitter what is the probability of israel attacking are blowing up iran's
7:57 am
list of the big the big question this is a very big question and i'm not a prophet i wouldn't be able to answer this but there is a there is a real risk and unfortunately the world community is not doing enough to try to prevent this kind of war which could be catastrophic iran is doing at the moment nothing to provoke israel into its asking and by germany for example actually telling israeli it israel that could be used to launch such an attack. i think one of the beacons of hope at least for me is that a worsening relations between israel and turkey mean that it's much more difficult for israel suspended over two to bomb iran without it called gratian with turkey so maybe there is also silver lining to do that. thanks so much of the qatari for it thank you max that's going to do it for this all because a reporter with me max kaiser and stacey herbert's our thank my guests here however you want to send me an e-mail police powers report of r t t v dot are you going to

8:06 am
coming from the n.h.l. over in america as well as the shell it is it's come from the great and the good it's come from the highest and lowest it's come from fans from everywhere this is really seen a coming together of everybody within the ice hockey community i mean particularly players they reacted to this very strongly as well their friends and colleagues and i think now we can hear from alexei yashin who used to play for locke and is now going to play for. well my friends going to the. club years ago because. just want to give my condolences to the. sweet stuff for which. i'm speechless. when we heard them from so he doesn't actually play for
8:07 am
a lot of senators so again the idea of the reaction coming from a global community or what about the future of the club this is an entire generation of one whole team garden what about the future is going to be rebuilt everything about that what we've been hearing from we've been hearing from the legends of the sport who've been saying they've taken very much on board the idea that the hockey must carry on and the idea that's come true before is commentators have to broach the idea of the tactical team that was a football team that was originally from the soviet union that was in a terrible irony also on a plane going to deploy it in a moment and they were involved in midair collision one hundred fifty people died seventeen members of the team itself and the team officials they died and what happened with the football league was that they all the league then each of the individual teams then volunteered a player to come through and to form a new team the idea that the team must carry on in the leagues carry on as it is going to on the twelfth of september and we can now hear how the greater good from

no one came to me on my success or. thousands of calls was a picture of the. five calls that i was a player which i do the wall full of promise you it will be selected by your friend porch and there nobody out there was a decided by the sale of so also as a manager so on those of the clubs and even look at causes there it really good best players or the local were different or there's a history here for you know so i would hear what you'd say will not stop. on his or heading for mike on the measure that if he had as a k h l saying that people don't even need to be on speaking of volunteering to come through and and play and also to coach and manage the club so the idea that pretty much everybody is you could tell by the grace and good that we're all in shock but the idea that they all want to come together and go for the rebuilding is already happening yeah sensually all right thanks very much ok for the perspective from the sporting industry there thank you well let me see medvedev has visited

government's coverup. reporting there the palestinians have started a campaign for statehood ahead of the september twentieth vote in the united nations they carried a letter to the local u.n. mission in ramallah saying their peaceful demonstrations will continue until palestine becomes a member state largest policy or has more other developments in the region paula hi there so what exactly are the palestinians calling for. well the palestinian authority officially launched its campaign for statehood today thursday and in a formal research to the u.n. secretary chief banky ruin it urged the international body to recognize palestinians just demands and what we understand is that the campaign will involve a series of events in the run up to the opening session of the un general assembly on september the plaintive it has been dubbed national campaign for palestine state one hundred and ninety four and to launch its one hundred palestinian high ranking
8:14 am
officials and activists gathered today thursday at u.n. headquarters in ramallah for a short syrian we now have both the israeli government as well as the obama administration is against the stipulation and the u.s. has into a formal request to the palestinian president mahmoud abbas asking him not to go ahead with it but a bus has rejected as we are hearing some rumblings behind the scenes that israelis and palestinians have been meeting informally and in secret to discuss the possibility of possibly because phoning this declaration that we have no confirmation of this however there's a lot of talk sort of leading up to the u.n. vote at these well as well as bracing itself for the vote is about. well it certainly is what we've witnessed here particularly in the last two months is a build up of anger and frustration just contained within the israeli public particularly leveled at the netanyahu government these have been the largest protests in this
8:15 am
country's history and just yesterday protesters. here in tel aviv with police a number of the race will hold people accused the police of treating them loosely and all of this was because the government has started removing teens from the streets of several cities despite the fact that earlier it's it would give protesters until the end of the month to clean up their act and to meet the government and see the ways and influence for discussions while they're going on the streets and what protesters are saying here is that they really cannot trust the government and there's also the concern that as the government turns its turns its attention to what is happening externally these of september the twentieth it will no longer even listen to the concerns being addressed here within the israeli society all right thanks very much for that report artes of policy your reporting there from a ton of. other tragic jet crash in got a softball has overshadowed a major political event taking place in the city and change plans including those of president medvedev speaking out the second and final day of the global policy
8:16 am
for he touched upon the major challenges russia is facing now is there for us at the moment hi there and so what exactly did the president have to say. almost certainly a lot of debate and discussion took place after a forum just by the tragedy nevertheless the president felt it was the right thing to do to begin his keynote speech with a moment of silence. but you gershwin you're also doing this work you and the citizens of seven other countries were race who killed in the crash and i asked to observe a moment of silence to their memory. the president went on to give his speech it focused on multiculturalism of course that's the theme of this year's forum here and he spoke about the ethnic divides in
8:17 am
russia and also about income divides and about how he thought that is very much one of the country needs to push on further with its i could no make diversity in order to help society grow in the country growth in its steady path towards modernization of course a very i think we could say main platform of president made he also spoke about the situation in north africa and in the mideast saying that countries shouldn't. push forward and try to teach other countries really in one board or another how to build a democracy it's something that has to come from within and of course he was talking about the situation in libya and syria and that's something that has really been a big topic at this issue before him again multiculturalism in its failure to really report from plenty of critics over the past couple of months that it's just not working in europe we've seen violence on the streets of western europe and so this is something that experts analysts leaders have been discussing at this today
8:18 am
for. michael thank you very much for that in the some reporting there from the global policy forum. now a russian a pilot who was convicted of drug smuggling earlier this year has been sentenced to twenty years in prison by a u.s. court also did he have a shared goal was arrested in liberia in two thousand and ten and transported to the u.s. but moscow says his arrest of rendition or illegal to see it sure cannot explains. this case builds a major precedent this is the first time when a russian citizen is sentenced to an american prison for an intent to participate in a crime in a case that was built by special agents posing as drug dealers arrested in a third country in this case liberia now you're a shuttle will be edge eligible for parole in as much as thirteen years we know that his defense team has thirty dale's days to file an appeal but u.s. officials frantic as much as two years to consider this appeal now the man has
8:19 am
repeatedly pled not guilty in this case hopeful until the last minute himself and his family his mother and wife who are here to support him broke out in tears in the courtroom today as the sentence was announced i mean. we have nothing to hope for believing and the judge would be reasonable. and he just sounded what do you think is cruel but a sentencing to twenty years behind bonds do you really think it is in this case it was a family man with no criminal background he has never stood trial anywhere in the world including russia and the united states moreover he has never even stepped foot on u.s. soil up until he was snatched up by u.s. special agents and idea realize year and brought here to stand trial now his family as well as russian officials were not informed as to his whereabouts affectively considering him missing russian officials cited a breach of diplomatic conduct a breach of international law because they did not know where this citizen was and

8:21 am
have spawned even more extremism torture and if which one if they were going to which were thank you if i thought occurred oh. and that significantly since back in the world and i try to be careful i'm following nine eleven america did not just go after the perpetrators it unleashed a campaign on a nation that had nothing to do with the attack hundreds of thousands of iraqi civilians have died since the u.s. invasion in two thousand and three america's decade long campaign on terror has created a new phenomena more without borders and as many say without rules torture rape and murder that took place at the u.s. run prison in abu ghraib iraq as well as other u.s. prisons overseas brought global condemnation but the key decision makers in the bush administration say what they did was in the best interest of their country and they would do the same again paper call it torture you think it should still be a tool.
