decided according to international. the russian federation as well as the soviet union before it has been regarded as one of the key principal hopes for the palestinian people since the nine hundred seventy s. when the late palestinian president yasser arafat visited moscow our nations have enjoyed good relations it's not only the result of the role that plays in the region but also. there is a great power a member of the united nations security council and a member of the quartet of middle east mediators. relations why we expect russia to play a positive role. the quartet took a number of steps calling from a good. position with russia countries to get an understanding of where palestine stands what it should do and what it shouldn't. we visited the u.k. germany and have now come to russia we hope that the talks with israel currently

underway in jordan will result in a positive outcome but if they fail we would need to have a list of further steps to be taken together we want to listen to the opinions of the countries i mentioned earlier and russia in particular. said that. these meetings revealed a lot of contradictions in oppositions those were talks just for the sake of talking unfortunately but we don't want to miss a single opportunity we've never. with israel even with george mitchell. u.s.

envoy we continued an exchange of opinions at the meetings held within exploratory or indirect talks we have never. be honest we've never broken off negotiations with israel. when. there were no grounds for negotiations because of israel the basis for negotiations is the acceptance of the nine hundred sixty seven borders or any other positions agreed by both parties it's not a unilateral stance it's the position of the international community of course it's closely linked with the issue of security which is a huge problem for us. we don't accept the israeli concept of security it will be forty years of occupation of our legitimate territory this concept name is further occupation. pressure from the u.s. and israel however you have repeatedly. saying that there is no alternative.

there is no alternative to peace talks at the moment we're assessing a testing ground for future talks to comply with the quartet. the negotiations are just a way to gain time. they want to preserve the status quo something we completely reject all illegal settlements all illegal buildings must be torn down and removed from palestinian territories perhaps the israelis have a different vision although in the past they have left their illegal settlements on the sinai peninsula and. and returned back to their borders we have the same

situation in lebanon and believe some of the settlements there even with that they want to preserve the existing situation of the palestinian territories and to convince the international community to accept that they want to make us except this vision we will never accept at. one point. position. despite. the document. in september two thousand and ten the first time in washington on an invitation from president obama and the second time in sharm el sheikh the third time we met was on the twenty fifth of september at his house in jerusalem where we talked for four hours and discussed all the issues the talks ended with no positive results no discontinuation development of

the occupied territories no changes to security policies the israeli way they intend to occupy the west bank for another forty years. this is colonial policy and . this is not the logic of a person interested in constructive talks and peaceful coexistence with his neighbors i don't refuse to make but i need to have a good reason now i get twenty one point proposal and what are these twenty. are they just some headlines list of twenty one issues that need to be addressed by our peoples. today we only need to discuss two issues. why would we want to. did he think it was a secret but. and it's not of any practical and it is not appropriate for a prime minister to submit this way document that. is borders. with no clear indication. what is actually expected of the other party.

you think current events in the arab world could strengthen your position in the. international. still no clear position common to all arab countries yes the revolutionary changes taking place but it will take time to figure out what results they brought about the countries we want to work with in order to strengthen opposition with time to get back on their feet and build their states under the new conditions however the general arabs done some the palestinian issue has not changed and the people who lead these revolutions people who supported the palestinians pursuit of in the end and these people have not changed . attitudes towards their leaders and their governments but that is their internal matter and we don't get involved. on the palestinian issue has remained the same.

mr president. that you wouldn't take any action international. if the talks according to you have. a president a diplomatic pressure on israel to make. the international community. we want to live together to co-exist with israel but at the same time we want to stop its illegal settlements on the land that doesn't belong to it we want to tell the world that israel's policy is unlawful their occupation of and is illegal but we're not saying that israel as a state doesn't have a legal right to exist so the diplomatic campaign that's underway is illegal we have already been recognized by one hundred thirty and i'm sure. in the near future

the list will grow to include one hundred fifty eight hundred sixty countries. to continue this work what is going to happen after germany the twenty sixth at the beginning of february the arab peace initiative follow up committee will hold where we'll present a full report on what has been done and what still needs to be done as well as our vision of the future of the peace process will work out of the final positions based on the committee's decision but we don't want to tie up all of our planet so there needs to be a certain order. to. address to the u.n. general assembly. historic event as it. wasn't enough to convince nine members of the. membership. to continue with the talk if you agree to the status observing.

the united nations security council we received eight votes that we need nine still may not upset every one is pressured to vote against our membership today we refuse the idea of being a nonmember observer state everything is possible i'm not saying that it can't be everything is possible if you ask me about the official position of the palestinian state on this issue i'll give you the answer we seek full membership or we will apply for a second or third time etc until we get our bid approved. in a number of arab countries are now obsessed with the idea of throwing existing regimes. mr president why did they attempt to create a national unity government and in failure. what has been achieved in terms of social and political reforms. first of all our. temps didn't.

we don't wish to create a national unity government but my personal suggestion was created a neutral transitional technocratic government a non aligned government or comprised of experts that would work until the election that's not a national unity government and its creation is already underway we have achieved agreement on many issues and i sensed some significant political improvement during the talks in cairo when hamas delivered an agreement there was an abyss between us earlier but now they've agreed to switch to a nonviolent standoff mode with no more bloodshed they agreed with the requirement of establishing the nine hundred sixty seven border line to running the election in may this year that means we can talk about progress here our committees are working hard to implement these plans as soon as possible and reforms are underway and the government will be a transitional. ascribed to the land this year that i thank you very much for being with us to the wish you every possible success in the implementation of political

reforms and creation of a sovereign state. to . discover is abusing. the live. with the wyoming. test yourself and become free. see what nature can give you. legal.

a lot of history. to be number one player. but that never gives me the question. why it was a grueling match finishing corey and him next play well rested on the memory the twice beat and find his booking his place in the next round after kazakh mcculloch a couche can retire the two set stone four seed murray spent less than fifteen minutes on the sizzling hot rod laver arena and said he was over to walk over for him. there's nothing there's nothing happening on the go. you know would have been most to come off and been played on believable and you stop you know to do nothing. or. you know he wasn't running is making mistakes of the ball the road. goes a complete contrast with water there. to the n.f.l. now where lawrence tynes kicked a last minute field goal against san francisco to sense the new york giants into

the super bowl where they'll meet the new indian patriots edge that baltimore well first of the n.f.c. championship game in candlestick park where the defense is dominated how about in the final period eli manning produced his second touchdown pass connecting with marion manning from seventy yards to put the giants ahead yet a late twenty five yard field goal by the forty dollars david acas level discourse seventeen all said the game into overtime costs and era piracy that. led to the giants seizing possession and they ran three times to six times up for his winning kick the giants will now look to emulate their two thousand and eight success and they deny the patriots a perfect season to lift the vince lombardi trophy well meanwhile in the a.f.c. baltimore believe how did it missed a field goal with just eleven seconds remaining as the new england patriots booked their superbowl place by edging the ravens twenty three twenty tom brady scored what proved to be the winning touchdown in the fourth quarter and this one the aunt died in the patriots from behind but though the ravens had the chance to force

overtime come to his pick to the left of the post so the patriots have the chance to avenge their two thousand and eight defeat as they again faced the giants on february the fifth. meanwhile over in england substitute mario balotelli dramatically netted the injury time penalty to ensure manchester city remain three points clear at the top of the premier league after a thrilling three two win at home to title rivals top the city took a quick two goal lead early in the second top thanks to strikes and sammy and as written joleon lescott but all within nine minutes spurs were level three poacher jermain defoe and they've got a failed fund about volatility came on it was quickly votes while avoiding a second gallow for an apparent spam phone spot pahlka for stepping up to that woman you spoke to and launched united states three points behind after danny welbeck scored the light went out at the red devils one to want to ask the answer. about n c i had a first op injury time for the prolific robin van persie leveled in the seventy

second minutes and a quick look at the table confirms thirty three point lead i.v. now it saves time stay surge but not eight points off the top spot and the feat for also means they travel chelsea by five points in the battle for the final champions league spot. debacle now and in the n.b.a. the struggling new jersey nets beat michael jordan's bobcats ninety seven eighty seven on home court to inflict a sixty eight defeat on shell as don williams signed this long shot early in the first quarter with the nets thirteen eleven up on routes to finishing the game with nineteen points nine rebounds and ten assists and later in the second williams again stole the ball before giving it to kris humphries he finished with a nice and dunk take the school to forty nine thirty eight however in the middle of the surgeon general henderson cut the deficit to seven points after this spectacular show and out it was not enough really started provided again in the fourth set working marshawn brooks didn't hesitate ninety seven to eighty seven

again the final score the nets winning only their fifth match out of seventeen so far this season. finally twice hockey and with just a dozen games to go in the regular season latvian past and i'm a regular on going to reach their full straight playoffs and we lost that captain the most prolific latvian in n.h.l. history sunday's as a lynch what needs to be done to achieve that goal and perhaps capture the coveted chocolate. that may consistency consistency in our game from from day to day. from that world if we were able to turn that around and have that consistency told and this is a no matter who we are playing games they're opposing is that it's or below us and have the mental toughness and then think. about the good running by the. every team depends how much you follow her something is there you can there's

always room and only you have everything right when you have won the championship so that everything was good i mean there's but always until you do that others of us always something to improve and that's what we would want to do to succeed myself and say should improve every year every season and get better. we know the other team strengths and weaknesses that where we're at that is and and not so we try to see it through to you is an hour is by an inch what the what we can find out what their weaker spots are and seen what we can do and if it's settled then we have a very good chance of winning games and i'm pretty sure the other team i know they look at as they they do a very close analysis of all game and our players and they're trying to do the same thing to us so afraid now we do respect a lot of i mean. there's every single team you have to respect them but afraid no you don't want to be afraid for the games or. definitely

no question and say that for dianora go for a national team that most of the tires some know they don't get tired at at all i mean they they they're they're from the first minute till the last minute of the game no matter what the score is and they're with us in a tough times and good times and so on and and for sure we were very fortunate to play at home which is with such a big super fan base over the sport of the whole country. that's all the sports news this bulletin that we mourn just on the two hours feels to me again so.
