looming. people likening it to square and so many other things but my personal feeling is that in all those uprisings there was not one single leader around home people could rally but over here they have in the shape of a llama little cadre but there have been actually two or three different theories about the background of this man some say that because of his canadian nationality and because of a long stay in the west he may have been one of them motivated as well as funded by the west there is another theory that he may be a stooge of the military the fact is that whoever has launched this particular person has done his homework because if the man has captured the spirit and imagination of a people who had the feeling that they were down drugged and they were neglected and they were driven against of all because of bad governance because of the peril of situation because of lack of energy lack of food and lack of jobs people are

we should get president obama credit or in united states. i think we would have seen the united states coming out of our economic system where he should regardless of what president obama. is everts stimulus and b. so that in some ways efforts by the obama administration actually slowed down the american with respect to foreign policy there are are you hopeful signs all the nomination hate all of my but given the extent to which the obama administration still seems to be whether to have a program of using drones. our has the various laws specifically the issue of being able to target and assassinate people sensibly around the world including what we are as americans i'm not sick or sanguine about

a left wing person driving the bus. as far as being i mean. even though i am opposed to it. i would say most members of the likud obviously women that is for it the irony is that while the world sees netanyahu as a right wing leader at home he's losing face among supporters for not being enough this is part of the right wing campaign he's up against there are some things we all know will never happen the sopranos will never return for another season. marker on our pro and a peace agreement with the palestinians will not happen promises like this have been a jewish home party in food position it's poised to take more than twelve percent of parliamentary seats analysts say netanyahu while still expected to serve another term is running scared he's up his rhetoric i say in the most clear of terms the

western wall is not occupied territory i don't care what the un says we will build in jerusalem because it's our right netanyahu is we could list has grown even more right wing with radicals like this woman high up in the pecking order. but the league would be to no party is a party with values the state of israel is a state of the jews whose eternal capital. but what will be the implications of such rhetoric after the elections many israelis are asking themselves about the day after will netanyahu become more rightwing and risk drawing israel into conflicts with its neighbors or will he back down and risk losing face among his supporters. is hoping for the latter that netanyahu will listen to world opinion and reach a compromise with the palestinians he knows all too well what the current cycle of violence can bring speakers daughter was killed in a suicide bombing seventeen years ago. we don't have unfortunately in the center

and the left. a leader who is significantly charismatic to lead this country and give its people hope the left is also divided but i do think netanyahu will find a way to compromise because of world pressure but that compromise won't come easy enough to the bennett solution to the israeli palestinian conflict is to annex most of the west bank while allowing palestinians limited self rule in the wrist and while that might not seem a possible idea to most of the international community it's exactly what his constituency wants to hear a fact and it on yahoo is acutely aware of the r.t. television. and of course will be keeping a close eye on events as the election unfolds with their in-depth up to minute coverage. how will tension with to run develop will settlement expansion isolate can there be peace with gaza what's next in relations with america will netanyahu survive his snap election on january twenty second. israel decides on arts and.

beijing has criticised washington for its latest comments on china's territorial brawl with japan and south china sea saying the u.s. should be more careful with its words and stay away from the region's matters when it comes after statements made by u.s. secretary of state clinton was short tokyo of american support warning china against any unilateral action in the dispute both beijing and tokyo they claim to a string of uninhabited islands that are said to be rich in natural resources well george coup the founder of international strategic alliances believes the u.s. is stoking the conflict between the two often powers. how to do is create this mess and i think the u.s. is continuing to prolong the problem between between japan and china u.s. is again playing the. ambiguity game by on the one hand saying

we're neutral about this and we're not taking sides between china and japan but on the other hand they're saying badly we recognize that japan has a mystery of control and therefore we will be opposed to any. action but how did your pain get the control the u.s. . from the beginning to the year the u.s. was really responsible for this. mess as always morphew on our website r.t. dot com including seek and find we tell you about one lucky australian gold hunter is relentless efforts finally paid off the nugget of the million plus. additions have long been looking for a solution to global poverty says a new study claims of him takes hundreds of people people off the breadline worldwide and you can find out how by clicking onto r.t.

dot com. now this week our u.k. prime minister david cameron again postponed a crucial address on the vexed issue of britain's future within the european union and extracts from his speech will release to the public may give a little away other than that he. must address changes immediately and the issue of whether to stay in or to leave the union has dogged his party years. of the british conservative party says david cameron can no longer be a voice in a clearer pen. and other economy needs to set a clear course of what he's going to be doing regarding the european union have a clear distinctive workable policy to fail to do that just keeps the speculation going and keeps the infighting in the conservative party continuing so really he needs to get a grip on this policy as soon as possible and perhaps not try and ally having a referendum until some time after the next general election that's even if he's

prime minister but hold it before that would be the best way to end the uncertainty and so we know exactly where we are going britain pays billions each year to the european union we have enormous costs put on the british economy as a result of excessive e.u. regulation and e.u. policies they just don't work for this country it's more of a hindrance than it is a help to the british economy and of course it undermines our own democracy and the option is quite simply to either stay in the european union as it is which doesn't work for many different people or of course leave the european union and negotiate a. basis of a relationship that's purely built around trade and the sooner david cameron delivers the wishes of the british people but turns power or exits the european union the better. for more news making headlines around the world volunteers have broken out in the egyptian city of alexandria protesters were demanding justice in the trial of former security officers accused of killing jews during the twenty

a weapon so unusual that history great villains wouldn't even touch it that weapon was almost sexuality the georgian prosecutor's office claims a network of gay spies was set up to seduce certain politicians in order to surveil them and blackmail them the gay spies would tempt men in the government into going back to their apartments which were filled with hidden cameras and microphones to record information and create a not safe for work video to be used to put pressure on these officials this is truly one of the most unique and kind of gross weapons of political intrigue i've ever heard of i mean how many men in georgia politics could possibly fall into the spy trap you know if he actually did implement this scheme and it actually worked than machiavelli and von bismarck could have a thing or two to learn from president saakashvili but that's just my opinion.
