the goal is really marry to bora 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 on says christmas instead of the jewish festival of hunker the implied suggestion was that jewish identity has been diluted in america and that angered many jews who live there. american support cannot the loads of this point to. this us and so for them. shows a toddler calling daddy daddy to his napping is really expected father who finally wakes up only when he son switches to hebrew american jews felt insulted by the suggestion that israeli jewish identity was more pure than american jewish identity

but 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 israelis 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 failed to address why many had left in the first place i think a lot of american jews look to going on in israel what's developing in the parliament particular in the field strongly alienated from that and they say to themselves this is not the israel that we are 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 west bank more than half a million people now live in settlements television announced it was issuing tenders for thousands more homes to be built across the green line evoking anger and condemnation from the international community. as many as a million one in 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 or r t tel aviv.

the business. thanks rory and a further effort to crack down on corruption president very of has ratified the o.e.c.d. convention against bribing foreign officials in business transactions this is also a key step in russia's access to the paris based organization for economic cooperation and development now to give the details of this move i'm joined in the studio by a business editor nick poole very good to see you so what are we talking about is it going to make a difference this move well what it means is the russian companies will be subject to prosecution in russia if they give bribes abroad. this when we much difference to businesses operating in europe in the us is basically there's not that much corruption but companies operating in africa of course quite a different problem or other regions with holly levels of of corruption and they

won't be able to give bribes in order to gain contracts and some entrepreneurs complaining that they will be excluded from certain regions if they abide by the rules and this is of course a common practice for the united states for example but i mean why join the o.e.c.d. if it means further restrictions well the o.e.c.d. basically is a talking shop it comes up with the best trade policy if you will and then sort of if you then in a ploy those regulations and recommendations it leads to increased transparency more predictable rule of law and this is all good for the investment climate which is a key mission of the government and the current kremlin ministration all right well that looks like a move in the right direction and the poor business out as a thank you so much. move over to the markets some we start with stocks we start with europe where the foot sea and actually if we can take a look of course of those figures on the rise that's on reports the european

central bank could help reduce greece's debt by returning gains on greek government bonds originally purchased at a discount the footsies up one point four percent the dax more than two here's a picture in moscow also looking positive second day in a row the r.t.s. up point nine percent my six even more than that one point three percent despite the how that's actually all based on the weakening of the rules take a look at the main movers on the my second financials are in the lead with d.t.b. up one point seven percent gas monopoly gazprom is also higher his net profit rose over forty one percent the first nine months of last year and preferred shares of oil pipeline operator trance now also doing well more than one percent the company plans to invest thirteen billion dollars into its infrastructure by twenty twenty. two commodities now fruit is again on the rise is still hovering at the same levels we've been seeing at the past three of four sessions around one hundred dollars per

course he had a market research not capital says this one looks overvalued. this is a valuation probably based on future cash flow where us we're now more inclined to talk about the present because for definitely facebook is not delivering this much money at all right now so. my be a self-delusion or might my be deliberate exaggeration off of market while you're both so facebook is definitely worth much much less than that amount all right business as he will be back in fifty five minutes time i'll be here when up they do join me if you can't.

your head. stops short of calling. the. face of wiki leaks julian.

top secret u.s. . program. u.s. intelligence officials. accused of leading a campaign of terror. to the united nations about what he thinks the international community needs to do to resolve the crisis in syria you're watching. 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 that 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 now 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 it be honesty 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 is faced with the situation but to permanent members of the security guards of course one side the resolution two others vetoed it russia and 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 sweetener 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 vitiated and 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 scotched 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 we do 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 wired 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 side as i normally would 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 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 it 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 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 cord word 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 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 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 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 in of course in fairness there was no security comes a lot of isolation 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 or on the context of the immediate crisis that is the approach that could 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 what happens when military operations you end up producing more radicalized response to it i think i'm gonna stand is a case in point is a case in point and i'm not a 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 cash of arms they don't surrender it to a central authority it strengthens that 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 crossed to ensure that you know the final situation months down does not look. worse than what what what we had investor pretty thank you very very much thank you thank you. it was shot four times and all. three of the boys are still in my body. should be allowed to. run for the. people are not.
