until friday. and then a campaign in the us paid for by the israeli government has angered many jewish americans throughout the country the commercials were designed to encourage israeli jews to return to their roots suggesting that america's jewish culture has weakened but as polis leader now reports the ads seem to have done more harm than good. the beckerman is could be the family featured in an advertisement recently pulled from american t.v. the goal is israeli married to border an american jewish woman but it was saying is that my husband shouldn't have married me but the emotional response was just out. this is one of three ads sponsored by the israeli government and aid across the united states that evoked more than just an outrage from american jews when who is really grandparents ask what festival it is the american granddaughter happily on says christmas instead of the jewish festival of hunger the implied suggestion was

that jewish identity has been diluted in america and that angered many jews who live there. or american support you cannot get loads of points or. missiles and so for them. shows a toddler calling daddy daddy to his napping is really expected father who finally wakes up only when he sons which is to hebrew american jews felt insulted by the suggestion that israeli jewish identity was more pure than american jewish identity i think that that's really what bothers me about the ads is that they came from a place of almost fear mongering you know they were almost kind of trying to scare people who are living here israelis are living here the ads were designed to encourage its radius living in the united states to come home but critics complained they smacked of arrogance ignorance and cultural disrespect for america instead of giving positive reasons for expects to return to israel they fail to address why many had left in the first place i think a lot of american jews look too going on israel what's developing in the parliament

particular in the field is truly alienated from that and they say to themselves this is not the israel that we love where this is not israel that we want to defend american jewry has always been more liberal than israeli society they traditionally voted democrat and often open to a list off the docks practice of judaism then the israeli counterparts. for years a rift has been growing between the two much of it based on the aggressive policies of tel aviv towards gaza and the occupation the israeli palestinian conflict still shows no signs of compromise and consecutive israeli governments have been unable or unwilling to reach agreement with the palestinians even many american jews feeling more and more alienated from israel does some of what's going on in the israeli public sphere troubled some north american jews troubled them very very greatly i have no question but that's the case since the late one nine hundred sixty s. israel has built hundreds of thousands of homes here in the whispering more than

half a million people now live in settlements and just this month tell of a nonstick was issuing tenders for thoughts of war homes to be built across the green line evoking anger and condemnation from the international community. as many as a million israelis live outside the country in the last five years the number of people who choose to leave the holy land has outpaced those wanting to come and live in israel and although the ads are no longer on the air the reasons that they provoke such a backlash in the first place are far from resolved policy r.t. . various have today here on our ticket is next whether his. allies you welcome to the business program here in r.t. the chiefs have not warnings from iran that the decision to impose an embargo will lead to skyrocketing oil prices the organization things that. branch should be

about one hundred dollars david the global director of all that industry research as part said the worry is not so much crude prices will hit one hundred fifty dollars a barrel but that actually all. most of the people we've talked to in the market don't expect oil to get anywhere near hundred fifty anytime soon in fact the concern is really rather that oil will fall below that saudi arabia which of course has the greatest reserve of oil it can bring to market in the event of a disruption has made constant assurances that it's going to be able to fill any gap left by the iranians even if they attempt to close down the strait of hormuz which looks increasingly unlikely as the weeks go by right now there appears to be plenty of supply available in the event of a disruption and of course there's a lot of stock to hand as well a lot of countries have been busily stockpiling crude oil and they've been well aware of potential structure for the better part of a year now so the market is positioning itself to withstand the supply shock so much so it might be oversupply the short term a lot of watchers are concerned that the price of all my fall rather than rise in

may be be a case of being a little bit overprepared here for what might come to pass. ok so that's what's forecast to happen what's happening now let's have a look at those oil prices crude is trading there is love is prize in more than a weight that says demand for fuel is slipping in the u.s. a report by the energy department forecasts to show the higher crude supplies and in person on oil also government statements that consumer confidence is falling and business not to see is killing in the world's biggest clue consumer the u.s. of course positive figures for now and now on to the act is asian stocks are mates with china's growth under the trade a spotlight on reports of factory out to do so different results with official data showing a modest improvement while the private survey by hate just these sea revealed a slight fall so investors are dealing with those two results having to digest what's going on there because right now as you can see we've got gains and losses

and both the nikkei and the hang sang a swinging saying positive and negative results here in moscow the markets are now. i have opened. lower the r.t.s. is dropping point seven percent mana my sex is losing just a notch that. lucky had to be coming at trade day on monday from a clue to says after a strong start to the year caution is the better part of our. new found of how to get ready for russian acting and thinking oh yeah so you know i would be quite cautious bearing that in mind and i would be looking for companies that display a few characteristics that generate free cash flow that i know have generate generate money. that don't have a lot of debt to pay dividends to investors i have lots of equity and quite safe so for me companies like kasparov and if they come from this kind of environment i'll

be looking at quite safe stocks like my pa to come sit on the victim's house just raise all those defensive characteristics and that's the sort of stock probably buying this time. and moving on to other news mining giant rio tinto has teamed up with the russia's e.s.d. group to explore the country's resources group is owned by a billionaire alexander says who also owns a major shareholder employee metal russia's top silver make up the new jello school exploration venture rio tinto yesterday has already bought a license for possible deposits in the far east the winds of change is coming to the global economy a new report by saxo bank says the crisis will reach a peak this year and provoke major changes in the structure of the financial system in the opinion of the bank to further state intervention only finds diminishing returns with europe unable to solve the debt crisis such as a bank predicts european stock markets will dive twenty five percent the eurozone

will show zero growth this year with the global g.d.p. to increase just three percent people thought other bulls jacobsen explains western part cast in the current situation. in my opinion my personally i have fifty percent in cash twenty percent in gold and then i have thirty percent in corporate bonds and that is said divided into two currency parts one with fifty percent in dollars and one fifty percent in scandinavia and in terms of whether as a cause i like i like bonds because bond in itself is a put on the it could be a mortgage where you see the stock market goes down the bond goes up the one place in the market where is the biggest capital dislocations in the corporate bond market so in a corporate bond more you can buy yields of ten fifteen percent in currencies like swedish kronor and that's why i think the real gains would be this year you should be both be taking care of the currencies but you're also certainly be investing because in terms of crisis you have the greatest overture and it's ok that's all for now i'm going to be up day saying these markets think as not be back at fifty

five minutes to the mall i mean that. substance. in a time like a well trained. religious ruins. for thailand where time stands still.

all becomes a sea of nothing. in this. syria's sons of russia. pull back north in our view live from moscow these are the top stories diplomatic deadlock russia says no to regime change in syria as moscow slams a proposed u.n. resolution calling on president assad to step down the kremlin's warning against using the world body to impose outside interest on the syrian people. we do leaks founder julian assange just to appeal to britain superimportant ganske his extradition to sweden a son who is wanted for questioning over alleged sex offenses which he denies claiming the allegations against him are politically motivated. and it is really ad

campaign in the u.s. backfires vine and virtually insulting managers families across america causing the commercials to be pulled off the air the ads have been criticized for trying to scare it's really jews into returning home. up next hour he talks to india ambassador to the united nations to outlines what you things the international community needs to do to resolve the crisis in syria and other arab nations. parties sitting down with mr her deep think poori the indian ambassador to the united nations ambassador pouri thank you very much for sitting down with r.t. i'd like to begin with syria because that seems to be a great point of contention within the u.n. security council not the last and the only time the council reached any type of consensus on the conflict in syria was nearly six months ago it was under your presidency of the security council

a presidential statement was issued in august why has it been so hard since then for fifteen members to agree on does some kind of solution i wouldn't use the word solution but i would use the word approach but you know you're absolutely right the only occasion on which the security council was entirely on the same page insofar as developments in syria are concerned was on third august two thousand and eleven under the indian presidency when the council accepted adopted. that statement is a fairly strong statement it cause on the government in damascus to walk back from the use of force against its own civilians equally sends a message to the opposition to stop the armed insurrection and to enter into dialogue with the government and extends both sides to you know negotiate and go

down the path of reform after the unanimous passage of this b.r.s. deal on third august another attempt was made this time exactly two months later the council was faced with the situation where two permanent members of the security guards of course sponsored the resolution two others vetoed it russia and china russia and china and the fifth a member in the light of some aggressive public speaking in the open gym but the. right it states walked out now the reason the council has not been on the same page is because i think as long as the council is in a position to address a recommendation to both sides in a conflict i think you would get agreement but if the council wants to address its recommendation to one side that is the government and is not willing to encourage the opposition to come to the negotiating table then you've got a council recommendation which clearly is not acceptable to some members what we

need to do on syria clearly is to realize that the situation there is spiraling out of control that syria is a sweden in this case that unraveling of the situation in syria will have very serious consequences for the other countries in the region. unlike libya. the consequences will be far higher i'm not suggesting that what happened in libya is not serious enough but talking of libya i was still one of the difficulties that we are having insofar as the situation in syria is concerned is that the security council's expedience in respect of resolutions nine hundred seventy and seventy three on libya are now vitiate think the atmosphere in terms of the approach to words how to deal with the situation in syria it is reported that in the coming days the security council will be possibly voting on a resolution drafted by western countries on syria calling in part for the for the

assad government to surrender its powers given the dynamic of the security council right now the positions being taken by the numbers do you think this resolution will be adopted let me answer your question without reference to a particular. resolution if the proposition were to be advanced that somebody should have a power. in other words a. regime change proposition i think some members of the council including my own delegation would have a lot of difficulty with that therefore i'd like to see how that is coached if for instance the call is for political dialogue between the government and the opposition that's something we could support if the demand is for. you know a joining violence reform negotiation that we can support that if as a result of those negotiations there's

a political formula which is that which results in power sharing or this thing that's an entirely different matter but this is something for the people of syria to determine i mean as a matter of principle i have a lot of difficulty with people advocating the reordering of this. it is as my prime minister put it in his statement to the general assembly in september the reordering of societies from outside using military force now that's something i have serious objection to russia has proposed a draft resolution on syria when i was worried we were quite comfortable with the russian draft resolution we thought it was a good basis for seeking consensus in the council but i think some of our friends from the western countries had some difficulties with it because it did not contain the course of our punitive measures that they were seeking so that's why you think the west bank i think that's a nice side as i normally and i think the russian resolution is still around it's not being put on that it's not been put in blue but it's still very much on the

table i want to ask you about libya because that was the first time the u.n. security council used the responsibility to protect doctrine it was invoked how come the security council does not feel that the united nations has a responsibility to protect those in syria is it because of what transpired in libya first let's discuss responsibility to protect you know the r two p. has three pillars below which says that it is the responsibility of every state to prevent its citizens from being subjected to mass crimes bill or two states that in the case of countries where the institutions of the state either nonexistent or whether they're under strain the state does not have the capacity to carry out below one functions then the international community has the responsibility to help with technical assistance the problem comes in. which when it was adopted

was clearly in the minds of some a new car to blanche or a doctrine for humanitarian intervention in other words if you find in a country x. things are not working you can put together a military force and going to. pyatt now that i think is absurd insofar as the implementation of nine hundred seventy three is concerned it uses words all means necessary now all means necessary is a cord for military action so we sat there in that room as consenting adults and we realized that what we and we consciously authorized. military actions would have to take place on that there is no doubt but what kind of military action yes you need to use to get involved they would have to take measures in order to enforce the no fly zone resolution one hundred seventy three also speaks of cease fire and when we try to invoke the cease fire provisions some of the countries which were annoyed in

the military operation said that they did not want to consider the possibility of a cease fire in that a g.m. had been. dislodged so then it became a mission for regime change well that's an interpretation you could put on that and that's what some people are saying now i'm not saying that it was done for it but i'm saying but that's what it amounts to in the end but there's a more even more serious issue. resolution one hundred seventy three specifically referred to an arms embargo but that resolution was interpreted as some people said well it means you can carry out military operations against gadhafi but arms embargo does not prevent you from arming the rebels now i find that situation unacceptable so let's be very careful before we can walk concepts and doctrine to be yes the libyan experience will continue to guide people now whether that should or should not be that is depends on what kind of resolution the council is faced

with we'll see an afghanistan or iraq like scenario possibly unfold in libya with the benefit of hindsight one can begin to have those concerns you're absolutely right i mean the situation in iraq now is extremely. i would say it's untenable the number of deaths which are occurring on which information which is in the public domain and one begins to wonder as to what we what the international community has got and of course in fairness there was no security council authorization for that action but in the case of libya where there was ostensibly a security council action i don't think with the passage of time when historians get to write on and there's going to be agreement on whether resolutions nine hundred seventy and seventy three were interpreted or implemented in the manner that they had been intended to i think the jury's out on that and i personally have a lot of difficulty i'm speaking on my in my personal behalf i have very great

difficulty. being confronted with a situation where the security council cannot act on its own a resolution which calls for a cease fire i have very often taken the lead in the council to say that words have meanings and therefore when we agreed to a form of words or a set of words we should be cleared amongst ourselves as to what it is that we are agreeing to. and you know the imposition of the will of those who have. you know military clout etc you know it appears that in the context of the moment on the context of the immediate crisis that is the approach that would be adopted in the long run these things don't work i mean let's look at the issue of radicalization i mean we all know all what happens when military operations take you end up producing more radicalized response to it

i think afghanistan is a case in point iraq is a case in point and i'm not a suit said but i'm a student of history and international relations and i would be surprised if the libyan experience does not result in a more radicalized response from within libya as it is used to. recruit from libya and there are all kinds of studies in which the intelligence community which the you know strategic community and the think tanks and i'm putting together you know what's happening the militias when they come across a cache of arms they don't surrender it to a central authority it strengthens our now we realize that there isn't into them set up there we realize that they need time so we will support that but you need to keep your fingers and toes all crossed to ensure that you know the final situation

months down does not look. worse than what what what we had earlier and that's are pretty thank you very very much thank you you thank. old means of protection can be used. when global supremacy. between two thousand and five and two thousand and nine us has spent fifteen billion dollars in the price paid for the entire program that we are dealing with right now here in two thousand and eleven is another hundred fifty billion dollars that's larger than many country's entire military budgets twenty offerings becomes the best form of france.
