several countries to deploy the army and set up emergency shelters the highest death toll was in ukraine where thirty people died after temperatures hit minus thirty three weather forecasters say the subzero conditions are expected to last until friday. and that campaign in the u.s. paid for by the israeli government has angered many jewish americans throughout the country but commercials were designed to encourage israeli jews to return to their roots suggesting that america's jewish culture has weakened by this policy or in their 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 board an american jewish woman but it was saying is that my husband shouldn't have married me but the emotional response was just. this is one of three ads sponsored by the israeli government and aid across the united states that evoked more than just an ouch from american jews when who is really

grandparents ask what festival it is the american granddaughter happily answers 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 cannot lots of points or two. 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 bothered 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 who 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 to going on israel was developing in the parliament particular in the field strongly alienated from that and they say to themselves this is not the israel that we fell in love with 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 these really 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 tell of a nonstop was issuing tenders for thoughts and war homes to be built across the green line evoking anger and condemnation from the international community. as many as a million twenty eight 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. television and now it's time to work with tapping the world of business katie is here with her studio. allay their welcome to the program quizes two point zero and the beginning of the

end of the financial world as we know it this is how a new report by saxo bank sees the future the sun has a. reputation for having some of the industry's top marina cars ever takes a look at what's in store for the financial world in twenty twelve. since the sovereign debt crisis is one of solve and seem not liquidity and the leaders have failed to address that we can expect to see a systemic collapse and this will involve a liquidity freeze across the board and the sudden drop of at least twenty five percent on europe's i could in markets. the growth outlook for europe is obviously negative so let's move on to a huge or more disappointment there as china is expected to face challenges in rebalancing its economy but better news for us where economic growth is expected to be better than anywhere else. interest rates will go up m.

budgets will come down the public sector will have to face the harsh reality of wage cuts and shrinking overnights. all of the above could be good news for the save haven currencies the us dollar the japanese again the norwegian krohn but a bad year for the euro the swiss franc and the chinese yuan the experts outside the bank believe it's only a matter of time before the perfect financial storm hits and they do offer a one consolation that it may force the authorities in to take in the right action for a long term solution. let's move on that city exchange rates our way the year is retreating just a notch against the dollar and by the european and the us currencies are against the russian ruble to sink some losses in previous sessions the european markets are now open for business and as you can see it's looking good the footsie is all part of the cent and the doctor is over a quarter of

a percent although greece is still struggling to come to an agreement with its creditors will be monitoring that all throughout the day for you see how those figures change asia now that stocks they had a mixed day largely because investors were dealing with two conflicting reports official data showed a modest. proven in china as manufacturing while the private survey by hey just be safe if we build a slight fall so this result is in a while for the nikkei it was up slightly and they had a sign was nearly half a percent down so as of all the next day that territory in moscow the market opens in the rise that's when i remain yes to right now is three quarter percent in the red while the my so is a fun to. just take a look of what's going on in the my sex right now financials among the biggest retreat is the south bank losing almost all one has some point eight percent probably is trading in the red but it's american losses and it's net profit rose

over forty one percent in the first nine months of last year was the most out of all pipeline all three trials there is gaining the company plans to invest thirteen billion dollars into its into structure by twenty twenty looking ahead to the coming trading sessions on monday from davis says also a strong start to the year caution is the better part of valor. we've had a very good rally from russian attitudes so since the beginning so you know i would be. quite cautious bearing that in mind and i would be looking for companies that if you characteristics that generate free cash flow that i never have generate generate money. that don't have a lot of debt to pay dividends to investors i have lots of liquidity quite safe safe for me because companies like yours probably look for a company as part of environment be looking at quite safe stocks like my part of the promise of america. displays all those defensive characteristics and that's the

sort of stop replying in this. but let's look at the oil prices now crude is trading near its lowest price in more than a week that has demand for fuel is slipping in the u.s. a report by the energy department forecasts to show high out crude supply adding pressure on also government statements that consumer confidence is falling and business activity is killing in the mouth biggest crude consumer the u.s. of course. that she said i had have not back warnings from iran that the decision to impose and bulk of well the to skyrocketing oil prices the organization thinks a fair price for a brand should be about one hundred dollars david the global threat of oil that injury industry research is plant says the worry is not so much crude prices will hit one hundred fifty dollars about but actually fall most of the people we talk 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 reserves 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 tensions ruptured 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 may be a case of being a little bit overprepared here for what might come to pass. but it was far as today's can sell mobley monitoring those oil prices all day and also the equity market small business fifty five minutes joined me them.

so let's substitute. a touch like the world trade. ruins. for thailand where time stands still. becomes a scene of nothing. the mysterious sons of russia.

welcome back here with our 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 a gremlins warning against using the world body to impose outside interest on the syrian people. we hear leaks founder julian assange has to appeal to britain supreme court against his extradition to sweden assange is wanted for questioning over alleged sex offenses which he denies claiming the allegations against him are politically motivated. an israeli ad campaign in the u.s.

backed by you know virtually insulting many jewish families across america causing the commercials to be pulled off air ads have been criticized for trying to scare israeli jews into returning home. he talks to the indian ambassador to the united nations who outlines what he thinks the international community needs to do to resolve the crisis in syria and other arab nations. parties sitting down with mr hardeep 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 that 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 because 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 but to permanent members of the security guards of course sponsored the resolution two others vetoed it russia china russia and china and the fifty member in the light of some aggressive public speaking in the open chamber 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 the 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 want to tell you 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 overpower. 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 quite 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 bit aside as i normally you know i think the russian resolution is still around it's not been 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 or to states that in the case of countries where the institutions of the state either nonexistent or whether they're under strain and 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 pillar three which. when it was adopted

it was clearly in the minds of some 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 go and occupy it 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 court 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 a no fly zone that resolution one hundred seventy three also speaks of cease fire and when we tried 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 like 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 will we 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 which are 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 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 stick you end up producing a more radicalized response to it i think i've got a stand as

a case in point iraq is a case in point and i'm not a suit but i'm a student of history and international relations i would be surprised if the libyan experience does not result in a more radicalized response from within libya has 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 are now 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. it was shot four times in total. war as it would. sort of the bullets are still in my body. and people should be allowed to defend themselves where would they own guns in the hands of law abiding decent people are not a problem national rifle association with a group of basically retired military police love to shoot holes in i'm sorry if you know that the bullet comes out here and this makes it go bang and

what's in front of here is going to die and that's all the training you really really need raise your hand if you know something's been. ok place to live what i want to philadelphia only the streets. which i live without a gun hopefully we will never have to use the weapons for self defense but we should be prepared the full class including the teacher i think was. seventeen students. and one of seven or still. a soulless substance. in a time like a well trained army. villages in ruins. for thailand where time stands still.

all becomes a scene of nothing. the mysterious sons of russia. are teaching. 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. leaks founder julian assange has to appeal to britain supreme court against his extradition to sweden just want to for questioning over alleged sex which he denies claiming the allegations against him are politically motivated. and it is really ad campaign in the u.s. that fires by inadvertently insulting many jewish families across america many have criticized the commercial saying they use scare tactics to encourage israeli jews to return to their roots. more on this story in about fifteen minutes time
