exactly none of them were elected by the people of the countries they're making law for we've got a system of law and order in this country has worked for many many years for the seats or the mother why do we need brussels to tell us what we can and cannot do the answer is we don't so therefore british law for british people those who aren't calling for the u.k. to pull out of the european convention on human rights altogether are demanding reforms to stop strides making decisions on what should be sovereign issues the court has to be more focused on fundamental civil and political rights not interfering in the daily lives. and in the ministration of the criminal justice system in the member states of the council of europe without reforms there's a risk of throwing the baby out with the bathwater as nations pull out of the human rights court undermining it leaving those in countries with weak human rights protections entirely vulnerable. r.t. . r.t.

is coming to you live from moscow now the pakistani army has met with nato and afghan forces in an effort to improve coordination along the pakistan afghanistan border the talks come just hours after a u.s. drone attack in northwest pakistan killed ten suspected militants and washington has been criticized for its cia led aerial strikes with some allegedly targeting pakistani civilians and funerals woods a senior reporter at the bureau of investigative journalism thinks it won't be long before the legality of the strikes is tested in court. the cia has been saying for some time now that it hasn't killed a civilian in pakistan since at least may two thousand and ten every news agency in pakistan every credible news organization that's looked at this is finding that that's not the case we know that civilians are being killed in pakistan with these drone strikes and in fact the bureau of investigative journalism has provided the

cia with the names of more than one hundred civilians that have been killed in recent in recent months and the last couple of years so to say that civilians are dying is simply untrue pakistan is clearly very unhappy with the strikes there's an interview in a british newspaper today with the pakistan high commissioner to london describing the drone strikes i see in effect extra do show executions state sanctioned executions does seem to be an indication here that these drone strikes are happening despite what pakistan wants not because of what pakistan wants these are causing huge problems within pakistan united states court has ever looked at the legality of these drone strikes and there's a reason for that every time a case has been brought in the united states that has attempted to look at whether these strikes are legal or not the united states is claiming something called state secrets privilege that that's where they say actually this is a covert operation and we can't discuss it well it's somewhat been blown out of the

water by the president and. self going on google recently and talking live to americans about the existence of this so-called kind of program there really does need to be an accounting here and an examination by the u.s. courts about the legality of these drone strikes and the various additional legal questions that they raise and that time i suspect this is coming quite close given the pressure in the u.s. right now. this is r.t. if you remember we always have more stories and news and comment on our website r t v dot com are standing by for you in store right now for example of a notorious anonymous a group perhaps oakland city officials and publishers their personal data are online this comes in retaliation for the violent crackdown on occupy protests. plus it's reported that the british government is to sanction the use of nerve gas by riot police despite the chemical agents and in warfare.

a sort of plans for. i don't think that. at all in the thing at all so this is a game and there it was military aid to egypt reaches one point three billion dollars annually has been very serious there has been weeks to condemn this car when in the days of mind tanks are over or they condemned mubarak tons of times but at the end of the day the continued on flowing that the poor mother support also continue flowing we. all know washington's so-called support for democracy get in the middle east and washington wants to step in always the situation as much as possible in order to get in to its interests they don't care about democracy meanwhile even those on the streets protesting against car sharing the council's concerns are the engine whose motives the usa has had a hand in tips policy making for years but the whole n.t. and your campaign has become the first serious disagreement between america and the

countries of your story to cairo wanted to send washington and message that it's no longer the silent dog it was under mubarak but an independent state which will last celebrate any outside interference some doubts though they really minute the end to military movement growing have a bigger you can see it over there this is in council of the armed forces or scaf now running egypt is in a very vulnerable position and this nationalistic pronouncement may just be and nationalist show put on to calm the people down and to win back a shred of credibility. cairo while many believe that egypt regime change is also damaged the previously well established ties between cairo and television and just over five minutes here on r t a former top israeli diplomat shares his views on his country's foreign policies i do so for that first so let's head over to k.t. she's next here with the business.

experts here today said that the country has many internal problems which need to be fixed and some believe the government should join forces with the business elite to make the changes required that believe that it's important to convince local businessmen to invest in russia rather than the broad and keep specialists in the country as well as create an atmosphere where on supreme yours are appreciated another one of the main points they will see in the vacation russian state companies have significantly increased investment to ward stands the foreign specialists here say that russia has all the potential to produce the next generation of entrepreneurs and become the next silicon valley but it needs to act fast and start implementing the changes required now. but it's very scattered to the markets now we're going to start with exchange rates the euro is high against both the dollar on the ruble investors are keeping an eye on the talks in greece agreements from athens to impose new spending cuts where. allow it to receive the

next installment of rescue funds and the ruble has advanced its highest level in five months against the dollar that's on the back of strong oil prices we're going to get over to europe now as i was saying greece is in the spotlight the footsie is flat they're not too confident that the dax is faring better over half a percent. here in moscow the markets will be closing for a shortly in days right now banking and energy stocks are lifting up those prices. taking part in just under a percent the is the flat to positive. let's have a look at some individual on the my sex most blue chips are gaining this hour is up almost two percent that is also higher supported by those stronger crude prices bucking the trend though is food retailers seven continents the company made an offer to buy back shares at a discount to the market price i'm going to have those closing figures in the next

but a ten in fifty five minutes to join me then and also the figures for the u.s. . the closer has been to the bar of screeching for the country's middle starts its way across the ocean. now our t.v. goes to the area. looking to a different character to represent itself. for local businesses are striving to

build the aviation capital of russia. that's where the four by fours are made mention be tested to the limit. welcome to the screech of. russia close up. if you're just joining us a very warm welcome to you this is our. headlines russia insists that only by urging both the syrian government and opposition to lay down their arms can an end to the bloody conflict be found the west and gulf countries keep up that regime change rhetoric and recall there are passages from damascus. few re in the u.k. as a notorious terrorist suspect the spiritual leader in europe and allowed to roam the

streets of london but softer as deportation to jordan where he sentenced to life in prison has been forbidden by the european court of human rights. questions over legality of u.s. drone attacks on pakistani soil resurfaced within a fresh strike just days after a report revealed evidence that dozens of civilians were killed by the continued unmanned aircraft attacks. and a growing tensions between egypt and the u.s. triggered by cairo's crackdown on western n.g.o.s lead to an egyptian military delegation cutting short a visit to washington nineteen americans are among the activists banned from leaving egypt and accused of illegally using foreign cash to fuel unrest. in r.t. we need a former senior israeli diplomat to discuss in depth his country's foreign policy and where things will.

where have his radio. who recently resigned from the government on grounds of principle he said he could no longer serve in a government whose policies he did not agree with ambassador thank you very much for joining us here in our team you resigned after more than fifteen years of service what was the final score when. and why. to greet the stuff of the foreign minister ministry of foreign and the banner for him was who. desires peace needs to prepare for war. and i thought that was very telling. of the psyche that. exists behind his political. weight and i thought i could not. minister with this kind of statement is

a statement supported by the majority of israelis i think we israelis we. we grew up. with you that. we need to be on alert. any more most israelis live a life that is quite bad and you can of the environment here and planted in the u.s. 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 regiment it's society of my childhood. all the time at any given point in time but it is true that. you. believe that we can. survive here in the middle east. only if we are ready precisely

when you resigned we sent a message to all the staff of the foreign ministry explaining the resignation what will save the action and what is the general mood like among israeli public servants concerning the policies that i have to the friends i have no illusions some of us were frustrated by my letter. because it is outside of the code of conduct that you just drop out because you don't like the message the messenger has no view over the message that is the code of conduct and it's quite legitimate to think in that way how many missions does 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 deliver that they will do. there is. a solid minority ministry

that is politically motivated to promote. israel. in its. rather. hawkish. position it's just government it is is pursuing. i think we do also have the lefties leftovers from the past but i think there are minorities your last overseas posting was as ambassador to south africa what is 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 tight is the west between the united states and israel or is it merely a lovers' 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 in afghanistan. and the american city of the middle east. could work badly for the image is present in the u.s. in the political discourse in the u.s. . in the context of american interests god forbid that the

u.s. will be more reluctant. to reach out for israel because our predicament now is as 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 following on too much of playing is all has become increasingly isolated on the international stage what should the country's first steps to bring it out of isolation in my view this government. very explicitly. made a statement to the fake that. is a step. intentionally. of that. paradigm of land for peace and occupation is the key to. a settlement in the middle east.

and into a new paradigm. that stipulates the ownership of. exclusive ownership of. over the entirety of the land of israel which comprises in the in the eyes of palestinians palestine that paradigm 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 that kind of off message thank you moon the united nations chain has caught on is often end of occupation of palestine morning that is warmly to another israeli palestinian conflict but if the israeli government is willing to let israel does it 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 to the secretary-general of the un is saying who can is all the lion 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. who's 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. to cut a straw figure foreign policy towards one of the emerging powers in limited three new as far as syria goes what is the best outcome for israel and why did 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 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 break the military invasion of

crimea qatar headquarters and what would such an invasion mean for israel and for the region i can hardly see the arab world rigid minting around one force that is prepared to walk into syria physically and intervene then i don't see it happening how much of a place is a ranch and 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 defense is primarily it responds to the desire of iran to protect itself that is one level the other is the domestic political discourse in israel is the right wing always. profited from. public move on you defense issues and i think.

a lot of what is wrong actually serves political ends and i'm. very angry about this i think it should be stopped. at once do you think you need attack as well i don't think you could israel attack iran i don't know but common sense. is critically dependent on international legitimacy. respond responsive dry on iran would be legitimate. and i think. any course. a preemptive strike on iraq and. thank you very much for joining us here are not seen.
