presence in the country. israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu is planning to bury a recent controversial report on west bank settlements according to the israeli media now this document was sanctioned by his own government and states the country's presence in the west bank is not occupation something that doesn't want to discuss in order to avoid international scrutiny so r.t. spoke them to an author of a previous report on the issue which produced very different findings. with me i have tellus assign a noted attorney and also the author of the two thousand and five israeli government sponsored report that documented the illegality of the building of outposts on the settlements thank you very much for joining us here on r.t. there has just recently been another report also government sponsored the levi report they found exactly the opposite that these outposts in fact are legal in the

country of nor how is it possible to have these contradictions my report. is lying on the supreme court of justice of israel decisions for decades for forty five years old morse that the international law applies in the west there and all the clues range and recommendations are based on these 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 opinion into the opinion that was written by the supreme court of justice off 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 people the palestinian people they haven't paid the israelis and authority or 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 the beneath him yell the american 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 because i don't know

isn't an attorney now who's continued support of the settlements and that pose a threat to the definition of his role as a democracy definitely yes i believe that the interest after this state approved rio 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 settlements that are east into the barrier maybe some more. peace agreement with the palestinians by making swap based on sixty seven borders we have corrections off the border. i believe that this is a highly interest of the state of israel because the continuation of the accumulation in the west bank in danger of the staple food fail if there are many of the jewish people in a democratic state its will 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. personally 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 in the act by water solomon the 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 foreman's 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 them ocracy 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 it's 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 has been used to fund illegal settlements hope was all decision of course. i agree with you one hundred percent. israel should. waste it's money in the west bank anyhow even me for every person every soul in the israel had a house without any real connection to the seashore but of course when we have such a big problem of housing. thing for poor people then we could make use

of this money to make it easier and better if the life of these insidious 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 say konami problems in israel severe economic problems in the israel but when the government is talking about the west bank their progress they cannot make progress burnished because if they want to remove thirty people in the open now. which is the mind somewhere else because the supreme court of justice will freeze were 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 groan tell us a sign thank you very much for joining us here on r.t.

edged russia to claim victory in a tournament marking the fortieth anniversary of the famed summit series the under twenty stars adding another chapter to the nation's rivalry as one man closer of explains. russia vs canada is one of the greatest ice hockey rivalries that the world has ever seen and the year two thousand and twelve is that there is special for the fans from both continents and that's because it all began exactly forty years ago with the u.s.s.r. canada summer 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 birds really unattainable and that's uniting two nations through ellerey these men are still idolized by fans in both countries after all it's also their effort and dedication that continue to raise global popularity of ice hockey

. the summit series of nine hundred seventy two was one of the brightest and top of vents of the twentieth century if i remember correctly phil esposito and alexander yaku she have scored the most points in that standoff 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 you impressed millions of people in the usa canada europe and the u.s.s.r. has. the russia canada challenge is one contest that fans can no longer live without with the ultimate competition spreading over to youth and junior teams as well and this brings us to this year's four game encounter that began with two matches in jaroslava before concluding with another two in the canadian city of halifax right now canada knows russia is the number one country in the world. and. 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 wipes out the entire local kontinental hockey league team local one seed it was quite obvious that the locals have really missed their high level game as both matches in euro slalom have been sold out the fans players and staff honor the team members who perished with a moment of silence. this is i've been a fan since the age of six but after the trying to do with the committee i couldn't even 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. well canada claimed the three two win in the series opener before russia returned the favor with a six three victory in game two but the international experience for both teams certainly

added value to the result the twenty thirteen junior ice hockey world championship will be held in the russian city open to fall so it's not long before we see these youngsters faceoff in order to once again stake a claim to the title of the greatest ice hockey nation. you're a slob well the series is now over in canada with the home side securing the bragging rights russia went into the decisive game for leading to want to throw but after the match ended all square the canadiens did the business in sudden death wrapping up the game fourteen and winning the series. that is all from the water sport for now just got time to tell you that it is still one one between russia and the ivory coast in fabio capello's first game in charge of the national side it looks like he's going to be a draw in that one that's all the sport for now but more in just under two hours time here and i'll say they join me that.
