stories and following on from one of those that next we talked to one of the palestinian president mahmoud abbas's a visors who participated in drafting the u.n. bed and he explains the solid goals behind this symbolic move. let me i have talked in a bill south a member of the palestinian legislative council dr thank you very much for joining us here on r.t. some israeli officials admit that they are losing the battle at the united nations are you confident of a positive vote we are absolutely certain and the judge there is somebody that's where the votes count in the security council of course you need just one of the five permanent members to say no which is precisely the united states and that will be a veto that will stop the decision of the security council is for a white a non member status in the general assembly is only symbolic what do you need it for. well there's

a lot of symbols in this world that people die for. the. respect of so many symbols the dignity as many symbols that. human beings think are important so it's not to minimize or to marginalize symbols of dignity freedom and independence but it's not all about symbols because when we become full members of all of these international organizations that gives us more clout in facing israel's attempt to deepen our occupation more settlements give us more say in determining the kind of terms that are used in if we and when we go back to negotiations i don't think i think we will have to go eventually back to negotiations do you plan to act on the veto of the u.s. in the u.n. security council the question of sequence we might go to the general assembly first and equip ourselves with whatever ammunition the general assembly can give us but

then we would keep talking about door open when the rock obama became president of the united states there was high hopes that he would play a positive role in resolving the israeli palestinian conflict but now he's up a. listen to the vote do you see this as a stab in the back it's really abject surrender to the israelis with he meant to be a stab in the back or not i mean he's had rendered to mr netanyahu has rules and he does so not because the united states it's subservient to israel. now it's because the united states government and president when he faces such a huge domestic pressures a domestic problems and then he comes close to a reelection time. he has very small margin of maneuver on other issues such as the relationship with israel. so maybe if mr obama is reelected he

might be more capable of really pushing for the program he suggested two and three years ago that all settlements or to stop including these jerusalem so that it would allow a more reasonable climate for negotiations are you concerned it's going to be financed for several months now the israeli army has been preparing for violence but there are those who are saying that it's almost as if it's creating the violence in a speculation for it. yes that i think that's our. hypothesis that if there is any violence it would be really created by the israelis but we'll do our best not to respond. i mean look all the area around us. with the exception of libya the nato and all of that but syria egypt and tunisia you really have people who took as much violence as their governments were able to get to fight to use against them and the people are still numb by all of they succeeded in tunisia and egypt

and i think it's the nonviolence is not surrender and violence is not a passive point passive reaction to the patient or the oppression for that matter but violence is people's determination to get what they want without violence this way to say let's negotiate first let's sort out all the outstanding issues and then no recognize a palestinian state you know somebody takes your house and. occupies all of it but says that the only thing i want is the garden and the basement but in the meanwhile i occupy all your home to force you to do so. let's negotiate so you negotiate and none of the things you agree he ever implements that's what the israelis are doing we've been negotiating for twenty years after madrid for

eighteen years after signing those two agreement which required them to withdraw from every inch of palestine with the exception of in jerusalem and settlements in three years which they didn't do so it is utterly ridiculous come to go she has to do what just how difficult would it be now to go back to peace negotiations you know it's not really it's not hard to draw tomorrow israel accepts the the last quartet decision which was issued in moscow which we approve of completely and totally which includes stopping the settlement activities and accepting the solution two for two we'll go to more good will go yes. data negotiations are negotiations still necessary absolutely necessary but the garage ations need always two very important international conditions one you stick to the reference you don't keep changing the terms of rules and do what you agree you implement if you don't follow these two rules negotiations are few tight is useless

what are the details of the new plan and how will the two states co-exist one of the two the stool states will definitely co-exist in peace because that where there is a a full withdrawal of this radius from our state and we signed a peace agreement we will. definitely commit ourselves to all the steps of neighborliness security and peace we want to add documentation. we want to be a free and independent neighbor in peace not an occupied oppressed. country that the occupier still considers our land to be disputed not occupied but what if israelis as isn't dissipated don't withdraw from the disputed territories we will continue to put all the none violent pressure that we have to get them out and i think this step will help us gain more ammunition

peaceful a beautician nonviolent ammunition that would put pressure on the way with the future palestinian capital being here in ramallah not on future capital would be is jerusalem. is jerusalem is free ramallah is an administrative temporary capital of the west bank and gaza capable of functioning as a single state well they would be much more capable of doing so when the israeli occupation and the siege of gaza evidence and i think that's what the directing the situation in gaza the israeli siege by land by sea and by air and when that is over yes of course i think that the worst buy. the. there were one people we have really no ethnic differences. very very minor religious differences if he succeed on the independence that we can use to access to the international criminal court course i mean if we become a even

a one state member of the united nations we can be full member in the international criminal court international court of justice and in these organizations which are highly illegal you do not go and harass people by politics you have to have solid cases to go with i mean we if we become a member of the international criminal court and i hope we will that would be really our best defense against any further israeli crimes several people asked me like what i said like going into gaza and killing fourteen hundred people with phosphorus bombs and napalm we will go to the international criminal court the israel that has to worry about using that kind of force against civilians. israel continue to take our land and create settlements on them we will go to russia criminal court about the violations of the fourth geneva conventions about not changing demographics of any have occupied states so it's really the

problem not our problem they have to stop committing international crimes israel has reason to feel isolated almost cornered for various reasons is there a growing feeling of insecurity in the region. if i were in israel's shoes. i would say yes there is going to be growing insecurity of they continue to follow that position i mean there's their policy is what isolated them and i want to remind you of the four risks that mr obama. told is raid is about at his speech in washington one he said the growing palestinian demography in palestine and israel the growing numbers of palestinians and quality ability of these palestinians that has israel has to take into consideration do the arab spring and its way it's going to change the balance of power in the area three changing

technology which makes the claim for so called secure borders totally ridiculous and secure from what from guns and pistols or from rockets coming from five hundred or five thousand kilometers away and fourthly the growing impatience of the international community as to the israeli pace in the peace process and all of these are real though so israel should worry about look at what's happening in turkey and egypt two very important states in the area which used to have not only peace but friendship with israel today be at odds with israel how important in the biggest struggle of the palestinian people is this independence but it's a step it's not the end of the game it's a step it's a step that we should give us a little bit more ability to defend our case and to go to proper negotiations that

produce results. it's no more than that we have been for a century trying to have independence for our country and it's difficult we went into armed struggle we would do negotiations we were in the political struggle. we are decided now to go back to violence and therefore this is a non violent step in the right direction dr bell south thank you very much for joining us here on r.t. . least so. this. is.

very glibly one of the world rugby is more established nations while they're ranked in the world's top ten while in contrast the russians were not even in the world's top twenty and to make matters worse it seemed that most of nelson had turned out to cheer on the. russian coaching stars biggest concern coming into the encounter was a scrum and those fears proved to be well founded for a while but much. of this graeme is in elements which involves a lot of technique and teamwork musicals generally have to meet the detail. that is announced tonight because we know how important the pack is and we always try to improve it but the russians were shell shocked for most of the first half as elementary mistakes cost them dearly as battalions run in trying off to try but with half time approaching alexander young was run over to become the first russian ever to score a try rugby world cup and they'd run into two further tries in the second half as they were awarded for their attacking enterprise. coach

we need to keep the ball from ball and hands display and i think. some post things we did well the russians can take a lot of credit from their performance especially very display in the second half but for some very silly mistakes house was cool i could have been a lot closer richard dancy nelson new zealand one of the most sought after players in world football has said he's staying put for at least another year brazilian playmaker neymar deciding not to leave a son toss despite a whole host of european clubs racing for his signature the nineteen year old stating on monday help be in this domestic league leaving the likes of the reale madrid and chelsea frustrated teenager did admit however he'd like to play in europe at some stage neymar is expected to line up for brazil at next year's london olympic games. moving on to the ice for own the moscow bragging rights in the

specialists argue the sporting for the ration should rated as a war the over olympic recognition get wanted here i'm sure there are many places all over the globe that could host cliff diving event while there are a lot of standards to be met in a limping diving cliff diving need almost nothing in terms of infrastructure all you need is water a cliff and a platform on the cliff it's as simple as that. however cleaved diving can be seen from another angle russian daredevil violator also off he's one of the world's most famous base jumpers who's made headlines all over the world deforming in mazing freefall stance in a specially designed weeks you'd. think it's for things that i wouldn't call it a sport in the true sense of the word the cliff diving community is currently a bit too small there aren't many people involved in it so far is definitely

a kind of extreme activity that has its specific risks and i like you very much. although russia would gain a lot from cleve dubbing as an olympic sport the country star before more. has just finished second at this year's world series and managed to produce the completions best ever overall score in the final stage of the season in ukraine. meanwhile some cleaved already have olympic experience englishman blake aldrich took part in the two thousand and eight games in beijing where he was eighth in synchronized diving i would love it to become an pickett's but. i just don't think that many divers sonny not that i know of that would want to come and jump from this. from a a six train it's fun it's crazy it's dangerous it's everything that makes me happy

and to be able to go to limping and now come here and do this it escapes my diving career go in and that's why i enjoy the rule cleve during series stage hell do not share in france and the end of june was was my record breaking crowd of always seventy thousand spectators gopi learn to help students sure the sport becomes known because then cleve dubbing suddenly has a big advantage robert jordan r.t. . truly amazing pictures there that's all your sports world weather is coming up in just a tech and i'll see you. wealthy
