expect from russia at this stage. decided according to international. the russian federation as well as the soviet union before it has been regarded as one of the key principle hopes for the palestinian people since the nine hundred seventy s. when the late palestinian president yasser arafat visited our nations have enjoyed good relations it's not only the result of the role that russia plays in the region but also russia is a great power a member of the united nations security council and a member of the quartet of middle east mediators this is why we focus. on our relations and why we expect russia to play a positive role recently the quartet took a number of steps calling for negotiation without doubt we position with russia or 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 putting together the action list we want to listen to the opinions of the countries i mentioned earlier and russia in particular. time ago you 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 negotiated with israel even with george mitchell

as the 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. 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 steps 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 was forty years of occupation of our legitimate territory this concept name is further occupation. saying there's no point in continuing the twenty year. pressure from the u.s.

and israel however you have repeatedly. saying that there is. while. there is no alternative to peace talks at the moment we are assessing and testing the ground for future talks to comply with the quartet's demands. the negotiations are just a way to. bring about solutions. 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 law. if there were legal

settlements on the sinai peninsula. 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 accept 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 and 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 people. today we only need to discuss. why would we want to the edge and i. think it was sort of a secret but it's known and it's not of any practical and it is not appropriate for a prime minister to submit this way.

with no clear indication of what is actually expected of the other party. you think current events in the arab world could strengthen. 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 arab stance on the palestinian issue has not changed and the people who lead these revolutions people who supported the. 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 you promised that you wouldn't take any action at international level until january the twenty sixth but if the top according to you have to mount unprecedented diplomatic pressure on israel to make it completely isolated rather like south africa when 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 or their occupation of our land 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 and we have already been recognized by

a hundred thirty and i'm sure that 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 generally the twenty sixth at the beginning of february the arab peace initiative follow up committee will hold a meeting where we'll present a full report on what has been done and what should be done now 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 plans so there needs to be a certain order. to. address to the u.n. general assembly was very emotional. but as it. wasn't enough to convince nine members of the. u.n. membership possible to continue with the talk if you agreed to the status observer

. nation security council we received eight votes. but we need nine still more not upset everyone is pressured to gain still 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 palestinians. i'll give you the answer we seek full membership we will apply for a second time etc until we get our bid approval. number of arab countries. and in failure. what has been achieved in terms of social and political reforms.

but first of all our attempts didn't. we don't wish to create a national unity government but my personal suggestion was to create a neutral transitional technocratic government nonaligned to vicksburg 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 sense some significant political improvement during the talks in cairo went with an agreement there was an abyss between us earlier but now they've agreed to switch to a nonviolent. more bloodshed they agreed with the requirement of establishing the nine hundred sixty seven. to running the election in may. that means we can talk about progress here our committees are working hard to implement these plans as soon as possible reforms are underway and the government will be a transitional. very much for.

every possible. today violence is once again flared up. these are the images the world has been seeing from the streets of canada asked shank operations are all slept. the least.

her. the so. lucky. mum. mum. says. it's.

physically one hundred percent so it's like you know. there can't be so angry and so even though i'm very happy you know that i can play a hundred times go over do this whole target. elsewhere second seed petra create a verse survived a second set fight back by former world number one and the advantage of serbia was that wimbledon champion held on to win six two seven six at least emulate last year's round the last eight stage and waiting to be developed in the next round is italian surprised by can sorry irani steamrollered the last chinese standing genki ronnie moving into her maiden quarterfinal at a major event. for me while defending men champion novak djokovic overcame former finest lleyton hewitt in four sets the australian playing in his sixteenth home grand slam was two sets and the breakdown in the search for reeling off six straight games to become the first man to take a set off the top seed however the world number one fought back to take fourth six

a better rested andy murray the twice beating finally spoken his place in the next round after kazakh mccall could push can retire the two sets down four seed murray spent less than fifteen minutes on the system in the hot rod laver arena and said it was always a walkover for him. there's a boring way there's nothing there's nothing happening on the core. you know would have been nice to come off and being played on believable and you stop you know after doing nothing or sit in a ball in the corner and. you know he wasn't running he's making mistakes or first second ball the rally and. it was a complete contrast with a lot of the other. the n.f.l. now wet lawrence tynes kicked a late field goal against san francisco to send the new york giants into the super bowl where they'll meet the new england patriots at that baltimore well first of the n.f.c. championship game a candlestick park where the defense is dominated however in the final period

céline manning produced his second touchdown constant mario manningham seventy nine yards the giants had such nets and like twenty five yard field goal by the fall to the level of the score at seventeen zero zero to send a guy into overtime bucks an arrow by receive a call williams led to the giants seizing possession and they run three times to set time's up for his winning kick the giants will have a twenty that's the two thousand and eight success when they denied the patriots a perfect season but then somebody tried. i threw him out of school you know it was logical but it also for world deserved you know this this been a long journey for us you know no one day was a shock you know have a job always been over david's also the sot that's who we were you know both by good players older were never born to go to chile all we did was go to work you do better but i also you know the cold is work this hard work with the weak well meanwhile in the a.f.c. baltimore is the come to missed a field goal with just eleven seconds remaining as the new england patriots book

their super bowl placed by edging the ravens twenty three twenty tom brady scored what proved to be the winning touchdown in the fourth quarter up with this one young guy with patriots from behind but though the ravens have a chance to force overtime to come to cook his kicks to the left of the posts so the patriots have a chance to avenge their two thousand and eight defeat as they again face the giants on february the fifth. they're all friends played well our defense i thought played extremely well offensively i was shooting on a little bit better in the red area. certainly you know not through interceptions but that we won that we're moving on and. you know we won ten straight through to make an eleven. football of the soccer variety now and over in england substitute mario balotelli dramatically netted the injury time penalty to ensure a match to city remain three points clear at the top of the premier league after a string three two win at home to title rivals taught them well since he took a quick two goal lead early in the second half thanks to strikes and some in another and joleon lescott but all within nine minutes spurs were level through

poacher jermain defoe and gareth bale thunderbolt tehran it was quickly booked while avoiding a second yellow for an apparent stamp on scott parker before stepping up to net the winning spot kick and manchester united states three points behind after danny welbeck scored a late winner as the red devils one to want to toss no antonio valencia had opened in the first injury time for the political revenge percy levelled in the seventy second minute. and a quick look at the table confirms the city's twenty four it lead over united tottenham stay third but now eight points of top spot and defeat for arsenal means they trailed chelsea by five points in the battle for the final champions league place but in the meantime remonde public agent has finally confirmed that the russian striker has signed a one year extension with top them the thirty year old will remain at white hart lane and till the summer of next year despite having been recently linked to the move to hoff a dozen clubs both in england and russia has fallen down manager harry redknapp pecking order since arriving from spartak moscow four years ago but has scored

forty one goals in a hundred ninety appearances so far for spurs. and finally to ice hockey and with just a dozen games to go in the k h l regular season latvian powerhouse dinar rigo are gunning to reach their fourth straight playoffs and we asked that captain the most prolific viewing in n.h.l. history sundays as a lynch what needs to be done to achieve that goal and perhaps capture the coveted k h l crown. that's my consistency consistency around game from mouth from day to day and i think that will if we were able to turn that around and have that consistency till the end of the season no matter who we are playing teams that are always in a standing his or below us night and have that mental toughness going on down i think we'll have a good good run and biopsy. every team depends how much you follow her something is there you can there's always room and only you have

everything right for you i want to championships and then everything was good i mean there's but i always said until you do that others of us would always something to improve and that's what we would want to do as a team myself and say should improve every year every season and get better. we know the other team strengths and weaknesses and where we're going to raise and and not so we try to see it through to you as an artist by an inch what the what we can find out what their week or 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 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 we don't want to be afraid for games for. different

no question you see that for dianora go for a national team there 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 so 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 and for sure we were very fortunate to play at home which so with such a big huge fan base over the sport of the whole country. that's all the sport for now i'll be back in just in the two hours with another update please join me in the. world the. science technology innovation all the list of elements from
