killed while another scandal flares up over u.s. presence in the country. israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu is planning to bury a recent controversial report on west bank settlements according to israeli media syrian rebels say that they are. with me i have to tell you a son and knows how to turn me and also the author of the two thousand and five israeli government sponsored report that documented the legality of the building of outposts on the settlements thank you very much for joining us here on auty there has just recently been another report also a government sponsored the levi report that found exactly the opposite that these outposts in fact. in the country of know how is it possible to have these contradictions my or poor. is lying on the supreme court of justice

for israel decisions for decades for forty five years old was it that that international law applies in the west there and all the clues range and recommendations are based on this fact in my report but the levy. committee decided that international law doesn't apply in the west bank and all their recommendations based on the. to my opinion you current founded in this were pretty important would you agree that the west bank today in somalia is not israeli soil and if so what legal grounds does israel have for legislating laws regarding land that is not under its jurisdiction while to my opinion and to the opinion that was written by the supreme court of justice or for israel for ever and ever is that israel has no surrender in the

west bank the occupation is a temporary one until a peace agreement will be achieved between. the two people the palestinian people they have paid the israelis and authority you asked me after these readies to legislate laws in the west bank are coming from the international law from fear hagel nations and their fourth geneva convention that they give their authority to the queue for manner of the idea of who. occupied the area to legislate laws to protect the palestinians and the security of the area the ministry of housing allocates millions to these outposts each year thereby giving them a lifeline as long as the government's policy of funding these outposts exists how

can the matter be resolved well i may some difference in my report between settlement outposts because. to the opinion of the government of israel of the settlements enterprise. i'm not sure that the international community or international law thinks the same on this topic but there's no question that. there is no question according to my report and to this supreme court of justice decisions that the outposts which are a beginning of settlements in the west bank are legal according to their internal law that applies here also to the. government of israel in the united states in response to the level of port said that it opposed

settlement building now washington has made similar statements in the past but what action has the united states taken in order to force israel to stop breaking international law when i was commissioned to do this to do this to poor i think it was on behalf of the prime minister of israel to show their americans the years trying to for all the law and he is trying to implement the law in the area. where we're talking about they've been anything out of the america in the round the to freeze the settlements for ten months. as much as i know this is what the americans did maybe they could do more. maybe they could i don't know isn't an attorney now who's continued support of the settlements and outposts a threat to the definition of israel as a democracy definitely yes i believe that the interest after the staple foods row

is to remove large part of the west bank and bring about one hundred twenty thousand turtle or specter to the state of israel. all the supplements that are east into the barrier maybe some more by achieving a peace agreement with the palestinians by making swap based on sixty seven borders we have corrections of the border. i believe that this is a highly interest of the state of israel because the continuation of the appropriation in the west bank in danger of this data feeds veil of the jewish people and a democratic state its role is in grave breach of international law especially on the issue of our posts in your opinion why has the united nations not yet sanctioned israel i can't give you an answer for your question i don't know

why and what going to happen by the united nations but i believe that this issue needs to be solved by an agreement between the two people i don't i don't believe that sanctions will. will solve the problem. thurso need for the state of israel prime minister for israel government of israel and the palestinians. to get to the table and start discussing without any terms and conditions the act by water so many israeli protester who set himself on fire and later died from his wounds during the recent social protests is an act that until now has largely been associated with non-democratic countries is small and act not an indicator that the

social protest in israel are more than just social this is an interesting question i believe in these really democracy after all i think we are still a democracy and we have to defend our democracy democracy is not something you know that is written in a paper and that if you have all voice to fight for a. specific to the case of this very sad issue that you asked me about i don't believe that you chose death to israel or the social protest are being quite extinct i don't think so. the demonstrations last three or you know a huge number of people they took part in. less than a million but many people there weren't any violence of the at all and you could

see violence of their many democratic states in the world so i don't think that this issue could teach you that israel is non-democratic state and one of the issues of the social protests is public housing couldn't the money that is been used to fund illegal settlements hope resolve the situation of course. i agree with you one hundred percent. israel shouldn't. waste money in the west bank anyhow even me for every person every soul in the israel had a house without any. connection to the seashore but of course when we have such a big problem of housing of public thing for poor people then we could make use of this money to make easier and better of the life of the israelis in say this or what impact will israel's uncertain economic problems have on financing the

outposts i really don't know but what i'm seeing is that we're talking about problems they konami problems in israel severe economic problems in the israel but when the government is talking about the west bank their program they cannot have problems vanished because if they want to remove thirty people in the open now. which is a mind to somewhere else because the supreme court of justice or for israel ordered and then the government has a lot of money to bring them there or to build new houses or to build a new. settlement instead of me grown tell us a son thank you very much for joining us here on r.t. most welcome.

thank you very much karyn welcome along to the sports headlines here is what's coming up countdown to kick off fabio capello takes charge of russia for the very first time as the ivory coast provide the opposition in wednesday's friendly. net loss maria kirilenko has made a warm up tournament ahead of the u.s. open and it's premature following defeat to wildcard entry venus williams. the decider canada when the summit series with russia. is off to one of the most famous pocky rivalries began. on wednesday fabio capello is running as a russian manager gets underway the national team taking on the ivory coast in a match that will hopefully mark the dawn of a new era following a disappointing euro two thousand and twelve campaign michael moore. the new

manager a new era that's mainly how fabulous appointment has gone down in russia and he's wasted no time in ringing in the changes axing several senior players like readings pavel pogrebnyak and sporting lisbon is the my look in the process. at dornoch everything i've chosen players based on their current form but also with an eye on the future taking into account their age because for those who are not picked i will continue to keep tabs on them and although i admire them i have to make a final decision. about. one of the main complaints by fans and critics alike was how quickly the level of commitment faded during the euros but capello has already drafted in from new young players in order to begin rebuilding the passion he so demands from his players. it's always been a privilege to play for my country regardless of whether it was for the youth team or the under twenty one's i love my country and i'm always ready to play for something. things don't go your way but i've always been one to wade through to the

mocks. the team may have failed but most of the flak was directed at none other than rush's caption andrea shaaban but rather than seek out somebody new capello has decided to put faith in the past and london forward. i believe everyone deserves a second chance to become the best again. it will be a great opportunity to prove himself once more in this important role because criticism serves to help improve and then we develop further and to acknowledge our mistakes our sharon has of course shown much remorse since his infamous pull out with fans after the team's euro two thousand and twelve exit at the hands of greece putting the past behind him he seems to have embraced his role as captain with new vigor they're just about the tools i want to see as many supporters come to our games as possible and i want him to support us not only for the game on wednesday but throughout the entire qualification cycle because it's been a while since we last made it to the world cup and this time i really want to qualify. booking a trip to rio de janeiro in twenty four teams is the ultimate goal and no one is in

doubt that capello is the man who can get them there but it will be the players who ultimately have to win back the hearts of the nation so the era of capello's reign in russia begins in earnest today with a training session behind me in preparation for the first friendly match to be played against the ivory coast on wednesday evening of course this means that there's plenty of opportunities for new and unexperienced young players to take advantage of this new restart for russian football but it also begs to see how far they can get when they take on the runners up of the african cup of nations. moscow region takes off from around ten minutes time elsewhere on wednesday spain afresh from successfully defending their european crown take on puerto rico maintaining euro two thousand and twelve finest to me take on the side they knocked out in the quarterfinals that's england brazil face sweden the netherlands travel across the border to. belgium well germany and italian all nations argentina didier deschamps

a mexican soil the game of the famous azteca stadium is opportunity for the usa to prepare for the resumption of their two thousand and fourteen world cup qualifying campaign next month when yogi klinsmann's men take on jamaica twice in four days. while elsewhere fabrice muamba has retired from all forms of professional football the twenty four year old bolton midfielder saying he has much to be thankful for after surviving a cardiac arrest on the pitch in march bolton were playing an english f.a. cup tie with tottenham when the incident happened the former england under twenty one international was technically dead for seventy eight minutes as he received treatment on the pitch he was given fifteen defibrillator shocks before reaching hospital the subsequent recovery was described as miraculous by doctors the professional medical advice was that he should now quit all forms of the game he was he describes as devastating. meanwhile russia's olympians are enjoying a hard earned break after the games the country's female artistic gymnastics team

though taking the time to criticize some of the judging in london to spy the squad bring home a gold two silver and three bronze medals. she is the official of russia hasn't won much tonight used to do mystic since two thousand in this very hard to get back to the top actually session on drought as the judges do you see it isn't country dominate one could possibly even grade them higher than they actually perform and it was not in however had a completely perfect out you know an even larger and she wouldn't have won gold. discussions the now to tennis where maria kirilenko has become the fourth seeded player to crash out in the opening round in cincinnati the russian putting up a valiant effort against venus williams but eventually came up short in the three said battle the olympic doubles gold medalist williams ease into the first set against the russian six three the killer lanka showed great resolve in the second fighting back from five floors down to take it seventy six williams by the more

consistent in the for however wrapping things up swiftly six three six seven six two to advance into the second round. finally to ice hockey canada have edged russia to claim victory in the tournament marking the fortieth anniversary of the famed summit series the under twenty stars adding another chapter to the nation's rivalry as romana kozyrev explains. well russia versus canada is one of the greatest i soccer rivalries that the world has ever seen and the year two thousand and twelve is very special for the fans from both continents and that's because it all began exactly forty years ago with a deal with the star can adopt some series back then it was more than about sports with the country's leaders and media looking at the series as a clash of political systems and ideologies though politicians still don't see eye to eye on many vital issues the heroes of nine hundred seventy to know that they

manage something birch really unattainable and that's uniting two nations through royal araik these men are still idolized by fans involved countries after all it's also their effort and dedication that continued to raise global popularity of ice hockey. the summit series of nine hundred seventy two was one of the brightest and top of the answer to twentieth century if i remember correctly phil esposito and alexander yaku she have scored the most points not stand dogs but it's not about points but about you who are the stars that still shine not only on the hockey horizon but sports in general as well or that you impressed millions of people in the usa canada europe and the u.s.s.r. because. their washing canada challenge is one contest that fans can no longer live without with the ultimate competition spreading all over t.v. and junior teams as well and this brings us to this year's four game encounter that began about two matches in euro slavic before concluding with another two in the

canadian c.c. of the facts right now canada knows that russia is the number one country in the world. i jus nursed two years ago. last year silver medal world model so we want to get back to being able to compete with russia following last year's air disaster that white sound the entire local kontinental hockey league team local would see it was quite obvious that the locals were going to miss it by level game as both matches and u.s. law would have been sold out the fans players and stamps honored the team members who perished with a moment of silence. it's good. to see that i've been a fan of his nature of six after the tragedy with working with you i couldn't watch hockey without crying but i'm glad i'm here today to witness such a great match and i'm very proud of every single player on the ice. while canada

claimed a three two win in the series opener before russia returned the favor with a six three victory in the so but the international experience for both teams certainly added value to the result the twenty thirteen junior ice hockey world championships will be held in the russian city of new fall so it's not long before we see these youngsters face so in order to once again stake a claim to the side of the greatest always working nation. remark cos were already there a slump well the series is now in vain counted out with the home side securing the bragging rights so russia went into the decisive game four leading to one i roll but after the match ended all square the canadiens did the business in sudden death wrapping up the game a forward saying on the us when in the series. and that is all from the world of sport but all without fans who are just under two hours time here not a.
