of the psyche that. exists behind his political. way and i thought i could not. minister with this kind of statement is it a statement supported by the majority of israelis i think we israelis yes we. we grew up on. you that. we need to be on alert it's not true anymore most israelis live a life that is quite bad and you can cut it out of the environment here and planted in the us or in europe western europe and you will find the israelis quite. easily integrating into society into requirements in place and so on so it's not. the regimented society of my childhood. all the time it's at any given point in time but it is true that

israelis are not naive and they believe that we can survive here in the middle east. only if we are ready to fight when you resigned to the same time message to all the staff of the foreign ministry explaining the resignation what was the reaction and what is the general mood like among israeli public servants concerning the policies that will have to differ and i have no illusions some of us were frustrated by my letter. because. it is outside of. if you just drop out because you don't like the message the messenger has no view over the message that it is because of conduct and it's quite legitimate to think in that way how many messengers agree with the message and how many don't in the foreign ministry in my view. the large majority don't care they are

professionals and whatever message comes for them to believe that they will do. is. a solid minority ministry that is politically motivated to promote. israel. in it's. a rather. hawkish. position it's just government it is is issuing. i think we do also have the lefties leftovers from the past but i think the minority your last overseas posting was as ambassador to south africa what's your experience in south africa teaching as far as a christian nation is all is concerned. i think that israel is. in

a danger zone to slide. by default. into. many frustrations of apartheid if we don't take it and i'm afraid we don't take it and there's going to contain in the united states as far as israeli policies on iran and palestine does how different is the west between the united states and israel or is it merely another quarrel i'm surprised to realize how deep the americans care for israel is when it comes to the conversation the political conversation in the us. i also can see how. the aftermath of the war in iraq and enough to understand and the american fatigue of the middle east. could work badly for the image israel.

present in the us in the political discourse in the us. in the context of american interests god forbid that the us will be more reluctant. to reach out for israel because our predicament now is like a result of a policy pursued by this kind of government in a way that i think is tragically wrong. that we lean to the american congress a single source of strength in our diplomatic fabric and that is. very dangerous what's gone on for much of playing is all has become increasingly isolated on the international stage what should the countries. to bring it out of self isolation in my view this government. very explicitly. made a statement to the fake that this is

a step. intentionally. of the paradigm of land for peace and of occupation is the key to. a settlement in the middle east . and into a new paradigm. that stipulates ownership of. exclusive ownership. over the entirety of the land of israel which comprises in the eyes of palestinians palestine that part of the time is a dead end i think it is immoral morally and practically it's not sustainable and that is the reason why i left government i thought i could not serve that kind of. message thank you mean the united nations change has caught on it's also end of occupation of palestine mourning today. this will be the ten other israeli

palestinian conflict but if the israeli government is willing to listen israel does on the west bank and the gaza strip whatever it likes. and. things are changing fast on the ground in favor of entrenching israeli presence in palestinian areas i don't think really jerusalem pays much attention too much attention to what the secretary general of the u.n. is saying who can it's all been lie on in the region considering that in the aftermath of the arab spring the middle east has become more radicalized i don't think israel is looking for allies i think israel is looking for. partners. of convenience. one is jordan. whose survivability in the way in the form we know it is a house in my kingdom. so we entertain. a

lot of common interests egypt is consumed by its own revolution and as long as it doesn't pose a threat to us i think israel is taking a very careful distance and turkey. because a straw figure foreign policy towards one of the emerging powers in limited drene you that's why syria goes what is the best outcome for israel and why does the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu wants everything to change in syria if that would mean also i could mean another islamic state on the border i don't think israel came there. have an impact on the outcome of any regime change that is underway anyway. so to ignore the fact that there is a regime change in the making in syria. it would be.

unacceptable but at the same time we need to be very careful not to expedite it is there any way that it will cut the cord and i would take a military invasion of crimea that could tar headquarters for what's expected in beijing mean for israel and for the region i can hardly see the arab world regimented in year round one force that is prepared to walk into syria physically and intervene then i don't see it happening how much of a prayer is an advantage of regional security it is very obvious that iran is pursuing its position as a regional power. to serve interests that go beyond the immediate borders of iran it is primarily defensive primarily it responds to the desire of iran to protect itself that is one level the other is

there the domestic political discourse in israel the right wing always. profited from a nervous public mood on you defense issues and i think a lot about what is a lot of what is said about iran actually serves political aims and i'm very angry about that i think it should be stopped at once the thank you man can we need to attack israel i don't think should israel attacking iran i don't know but common sense say that israel is critically critically dependent on international legitimacy. respond the response of strike on iran will be illegitimate a preemptive strike will not and i think is a voided any. was it a preemptive strike on iraq ambassador

few minutes vising his conviction cyclists alberto contador considers appealing against his two year ban after calling it a terrible injustice. plus russian olympic medal hopes are not only shared faces a frantic legal battle in her bid to compete at the london games. the party goes on super bowl champions the new york giants lap up more glory during a spectacular victory parade in manhattan. but first disc raced cyclist alberto contador says he hasn't ruled out a painting against his two year ban for failing a drug test the spaniard was stripped of his twenty ten tour de france title after testing positive for the performance enhancing drug clenbuterol he held a news conference at his home town of pinto just outside madrid and told reporters he had no intention of quitting cycling while also reiterating he failed a drug test as a result of eating contaminated meat an explanation rejected by the court of arbitration for sport. though i try hard i cannot understand the ban

imposed during the past months i have been trying to do my best to prove my innocence even dandelion five hours answering questions like you can plead criminal i also want to know and everybody knows i will continue cycling i will continue practicing in a green way and i've done it all my entire life though i don't feel my best i think in the future this will make me tougher. well his cycling team saxo bank are standing by him contador is able to compete again in august after his two year ban was backdated although that still means he will miss this year's year at italia tour de france and. lympics. as a team is the support of better. because we want to do the thing that is correct that's why we have supported him in this case all the way until now and we still do

when we look at the ruling today we see no reason not to support him to do a long time but of course. we have to sit down together. and talk about the future as. if he. wished that he wants to continue we could see i can only say. my intentions will be the same. while in contrast contador has little sympathy from the world anti-doping agency its president john has branded contador a cheat and says the court ruling was a clear warning to cyclists. the simple fact is that anyone who has a preview of the substance in this system. is h. it. it's as simple as that the argument then comes as to what was the method what was the nature of how that prohibited substance got into the system. cheat effectively the moment you got that substance in there and that analysis disclosed

and tested this was very comprehensively bike. while another major legal battle in sport is looming this time to help medal hopeful to not have him shape represent russia at this summer's london olympics the pentathlete was born in lithuania but is obtained a russian passport a life the native country has now banned him from can pay more. just a week off to turn in twenty four and with multiple world cup wins under her belt do not are you shy to should be a shoo in for the fast approaching london games or so you would think because for these modern pentathlon her second olympics are now a huge doubt in beijing in two thousand and eight she competed for leaf urania but has since married a russian and was granted a russian passport and though do not has been cleared to fly the russian flag at other major events she needed the formality of permission from the league here and an olympic committee to go to london but her request was denied. but i think the

sports officials and some patriots are against me but a lot of ordinary people still support me he could say we feel a new split in two over this a lot of people have been leaving the country to earn money elsewhere and some may think they've come to russia to roll in cash which is not the case donata went on to say she was on the verge of tears and her mother cried twice at last month's meeting elite yanira the sports summit has threatened her entire career and she described it as a circus while the reporter at the time culture a traitor she knows the chances are slim that she'll be given the go ahead to compete in london but she's focusing on other tournament's and if lead should first of all think of quality training and preparing for events if i don't make the olympics after all i'll have other important events to get ready for the european and world championships are no small matters. so potentially

a massive blow for russia who counted on the room shouted to deliver in the british capital they plan to appeal at both the court of arbitration for sport and the international olympic committee but no one is under any illusions have a medal hopes to remain. not that is our leader and will compete in other events this year but her mission won't undermine the russian squad because measures have been taken to regroup it's not a happy situation. but we still hope for podium places in london. is already setting his sights on the real games in twenty sixteen well russia also have a strong message contingent including athens and beijing champion and dreamy save to cheer on in london. of r t but let's switch to football where it is semi finals day at the africa cup of nations ivory coast star studded squad take on mali in the gabba nice capital bit of feel the elephants have big name plays including

chelsea's didier drogba the city's ya tall right that's made them the favorites for the trophy and every case produced an impressive three nil win over co-host equitorial guinea in the last eight but despite their obvious talent they coach is always wary of the opposition. as we go forward with what i would say is a lot of cohesiveness because we know that everything we've achieved is fragile and that in a game or a certain situation it could all crumble so we're being very prudent to deserve our country we're trying to be wise. in the other game tonight garner will be seeking to reach the final for the second time in a row they take on zambia in bar in the batter stadium in equitorial guinea but their build up hasn't been ideal ghana workforce to cancel their monday training session after their flight from gabon was delayed however they remain the favorites for this one although zambia are the surprise package of the tournament after their three nil win over sudan in the last eight. when they were in spain athletic bilbao
