the news today violence is once again flared up. these are the images the world has been seeing from the streets of canada. operation that. followed i walk into business would make a typo again this wednesday evening here in moscow i concerns over the euro zone and cyprus is bruce the popularity of a family book currency known as the bit coin banks have no control over the course people just exchange them directly with the child the internet that makes some difficult tax trace or freeze with investors now looking for safer places to park

their cash the bitcoin has reached an all time high well then doubling in the last month to sit around one hundred forty five dollars but what is all the fuss about what exactly is this big corn and is it safe or i asked mike ingram from b g c partners exactly about. there are some serious question marks over it i mean one of the attractions to those who use it is the anonymity attached to it it is in fact the medium of exchange for online black market called silk road. but on the flip side of that because it is totally tragic it is rather susceptible to hacking and we have seen incidents in the past where queens have been stolen or . be created electronically by hackers so you know i think as i said there are some big question marks over the safety of the queen as a project and is

a huge bubble i mean certainly the amount of coverage and i guess is an example of this is probably a example of this certainly a lot of people think that they can make a lot of money by cornering the market on bitcoin and investing in. for speculative purposes as opposed to just using it as a transaction medium so i was watching the price of a queen today and it really was all over the place it went from whatever one dollars to one hundred forty seven dollars and i think it's no surprise that a hundred twenty six i think back in the mid two thousand and ten this was priced at ten cents so yeah it certainly seems to be getting pretty filthy but you know a lot of people are ready to start to hear about this thing so you know maybe it is a go to wall to run yet so the big going has really gained popularity think the banking crises are rattled why is that. one of the attractions of coreen is as

a fully electronic. currency it's not susceptible to capital controls and one of the things that people are most angry about it over the bank crisis is a lot of people have been frozen out of their accounts for days if not weeks and in the meantime the recounts are being raided in order to fund a bail right so this at least would not have been possible. had been in the form of a queen so i can imagine why this having happened all of a sudden. looks like an attractive prospect and mike i just want to say that is that she coing a.t.m. does apparently being set up in cyprus is that a sensible thing right now. i've got it it sounds like back to desperation at this point though i mean given i guess if your back's against the wall then you know you tend to look at possibilities which you wouldn't otherwise considered but i can't imagine that cohen is going to be the salvation for the banking system or

the cypriot colony of a freight. and so good about the situation in cyprus and russian savers who have been packing their money in the safe haven the decades when what we compensated by the russian government if they lose their money in the islands banking crisis that is russians are believed to have billions of euros in cyprus accounts and deposits about one hundred thousand euros in the two biggest banks could be reduced as much as sixty percent so early today we spoke to the head of the tb and he's not predicting major losses. thanks for any awards and so on but go for so be cheap but at the moment there's a lot of sections always to see whether it will sort of losses we have to wait and see what it will be the final decisions we can see that because the banks like beach or. the northeast think that the race because. we are where liquids we will get the words so we can continue over to the forever

we could be like a second largest lender in russia now european stocks to kind actually by the most in five weeks racks reacting mostly to dismal data from the states that we had u.s. manufacturing activity for laying a fosse than estimated and companies in the world largest economy added fewer workers than forecast as well as you are indeed looking at declines. in u.s. stocks and we can see just we had this is us they already falling off to climbing to a record high yesterday that says data on private payrolls and services industry growth trailed economists estimates also bad news for the state which is really ricochet things through the markets including the russian moms here but the russian ruble once again low to the u.s. dollar a common currency in wednesday's trade as for the markets probably not a surprise and that both indices ended the day in the red

a lot of that was because of for lng or prices a negative mood only global stock exchanges we just witnessed ourselves meanwhile energy may just get next to gas and teen k.-b. p. traded much better than the market though that she managed to jump up four percent age that wasn't all bob it's all. now russia's gas major gas from has chosen a dutch partner for the third branch of the north stream which is a surprise considering a german company was thought to become the first european partner for the russian projects according to commerce and daily holland state gas suni will walk with gas from on the pipe which will connect russia germany through the baltic sea washes president vladimir putin is expected to visit in evelyn's next week to sign the contracts. to russian oligarchs i was and a member of the mayport time in are merging their internet assets to create the third largest company in russia's internet united company plans to become

a competitor to russian internet giants yandex group with both companies holding successful i.p.o.'s in the past two years when i was out there i moved to is also the owner of the british book retail chain waterstone's he explained to us why internet is his biggest bet. in russian into the universe we have two giants like it's young dixon and male and there's nobody else to look at for investors and for advertisers we'd like to to make a third company brush languages i've mentioned already is the third largest. language in the world's internet and russian internet market by audience is the largest and you are so why should we try to build the third company in russian internet iow so interested in internet are you betting on its business potential this is this is my biggest bet at the moment what can you but i will excited you

know i believe in it and we have a party and it is we have companies we have experienced we with down investments i think it's normal to reach the peak because. the company is in these markets very strong very powerful very innovative and using the world changing let's see everything for a year with a new device with the new technology of broadcasting of telecommunications of internet and gins of new form and of media consumption so it's a very vibrant market that's why it's so interesting to build something in these in this in this world ebooks and online raising booming how will it affect your british book retail business waterstones will it survive in this environment it is a threat but we'll survive i don't have

a simple answer to this because this is just a complex of tiny rather complicated measures and little steps and little adjustments. like improving or. footprint improving our space improving loyal. of customers you know it's it's it's a technology it's not that simple but i'm very confident in current benefit what the stores are what jim talent is doing what distance will be will find his place in. the universe will will find his place in him in digital but there are core businesses selling books. as will the business for now i'll be back in less than two hours time with another edition but up next is our interview our we talk exclusively exclusively i should say to my one by katie a member of the palestinian parliament former minister of information president

obama's recent visit to israel on the question of occupied lands are the main topic . dangerous experiments on prisoners they want to make money and they have to use healthy guinea pigs in the regular society they're not able to use prisoners i mean more they wish they could. drug tests on human guinea pigs. paid to deadly pills he didn't pass away killed. he didn't pass away they let him down. is pharmacy really about helping people.

more news today violence is once again fled the film these are the images the world has been seeing from the streets of canada. giant corporations are the day. the news a secret laboratory to mccurry was able to build a new most sophisticated robot which fortunately doesn't give a darn about anything tunes mission to teach music creation why it should care about humans and world this is why you should care only.

international at the very heart of moscow. with me i have dr mustafa barghouti the leader of the palestinian national initiative a member of the palestinian parliament and also a former minister of information dr thank you very much for joining us have an r.t. my pleasure often obama gave his famous cairo speech four years ago you said that this is the best speech ever made by an american president particularly regarding palestinian issues four years on would you agree with the sentiments you expressed

then. it was the best speech or would still say so but he didn't fall on it on the contrary he retreated from what he said was very disappointing and very unfortunate instead of pushing the list to stop settlements as he promised he stopped talking about the matter why do you think i think he penned down to israeli pressure from one side but also to the american establishment i think what. will he had an opportunity after the second elections to proceed to make american history especially after receiving the nobel peace prize and for making peace but i fortunately none of that has happened. if this continues then. this passivity of the american position and this passive aggressiveness of the american president of this continues specially at this time this would mean allowing the israelis to kill the very last opportunity of two state solution are we just talking about past

seventy or we're talking about specific regions because when obama was here we did see demonstrations on the palestinian street what are the issues that the street is angry about that the street is angry about many things first of all they see that the united states is totally biased to israel and it's not hiding it's even declaring it constantly second they see the americans are. using peace process leadership yet they are not being an honest broker in this process by monopolizing that they are not doing their job at the same time they're not allowing any other party to do that to do this job but third there were many negative gestures even during the visit of president obama one of just said was that he refused to meet a child who of one of the presidents and bill in israeli presence here refused to listen and to hear the palestinian grievances and pain another negative

matter was that he visited an israeli music. which contained a stall in material from occupied territories this in our opinion should not be done by an american president because it would be you know we're legalizing an act of theft from palestinian side. the third thing he visited that i've been. grave which is good but he refused to visit mr arafat's tone you could agree or disagree with president arafat but he was a symbol for the palestinians and. and both of both of these people who were assassinated by the enemies of peace so there is this lack of equality lack of even handedness that makes palestinians to be specially that they realize that the united states is the biggest supporter of israel why doesn't a bomb have the well is it because he has so much pressure on him or do you put the blame on his shoulders well i he is of course to be blamed not just the pressure

because he's definitely the most knowledgeable american president of the palestinian issue given his background but more importantly he's a man that comes from a certain background of people who suffered from segregation. if it wasn't for the civil rights movement in the united states that fought against and in america he would have never become the president of the united states he himself would be most sensitive to the issue of segregation that is being built today in palestine what about the fact that he met israeli leaders in west jerusalem and the palestinian leaders in ramallah would have not been a more symbolic gesture to have met the palestinian leaders in east jerusalem or have left to slip out of the the whole equation and perhaps make israeli leaders in tel aviv absolutely visiting israeli leaders in west jerusalem is one way of using something that the united states of usually does not recognize which is that it was

a limb is not is a capital and you think that's what they're trying to tell us why isn't the message i don't know i know that he should have met the people in the studios of them as well he met a number of young people who are tours in for him but these are not that young people who are in the streets or who are. in the nonviolent resistance and palestine or who have making the palestinians putting in only this elective it. is unacceptable this lack of equality this lack of even handedness mixed palestinians very angry and makes them disappointed. they didn't have much hopes anyhow from the visit but. mr obama did not surprise anybody what about the fact that he gave an address to the israeli public but he didn't address the palestinian public what do you make of this again it's another another indication that he is making a visit to israel and on the way he's meeting some palestinians. i'm not talking

only about the amount of time that is a look at it but about the nature of the events i wish you would have visited for instance he brought in to see by his own eyes graphically the system of segregation that israel has created what i wish he would have gone to a palestinian university and met with palestinian students that are not selected specifically to meet with him and yet maybe being too critical on president obama i mean he did come to an ally he did meet with the palestinian leadership and prior to his visit the white house didn't present the trip as if he was going to make any big announcements the expectation was you know perhaps we're being too critical on him i don't think so the question is would he have visited them a lot if he was not visiting israel. and we're not saying that it's bad that he visited the model it's good that he's the president of one of the most powerful countries in the world and it's good that he's visiting the question is what is coming out of this visit and the bigger question is why the continuation of this

passive american approach this specifically passiveness at a time when the whole. the whole possibility of two state solution is being killed by the bulldozers of settlements. is unacceptable it's responsible and acceptable and this means that. those who are silent about this destruction and who are not even daring to criticize it but actively participate in something that will end the very last opportunity of peace based on two state solution and that is not something good for the palestinians what israel is in the final equation what was the significance of his trip that's the problem there is no significance he came when israel has just elected the most racist and most extreme government in its history a government that because they are constantly before. they have no intention of allowing the palestinians. or for the palestinians

a self-governing status within upon to stand system of apartheid in the program of the new government there is no mentioning of the palestinian statehood and the leaders of this government one of them minister of housing who is a settler himself has just declared that there will be no place between that over and the sea for more than one state which is israel and palestinians have to accept that so basically he came to a government that is most racist most. are going to stick to the possibility of peace. and he didn't say a word about it as you say these are the prime minister binyamin netanyahu government has moved from being a right wing government to extreme right wing government exactly but even if netanyahu wanted to make peace with the palestinians his hands are not tied by the israeli government well of course because he created the settlement movement or he contributed to the system of movement he made the settlers so strong now they are inside the government three of them are ministers another one is the head of the

financial committee and police it is so it's a monster that netanyahu himself created and participated in creating and now he cannot complain that he cannot do much because of this monster. he is part of the problem. and not a part of the solution there are many who say that it's in america's interest to continue the occupation it's good business if nothing else do you agree with us i know that there is a strategic alliance between the united states and israel i think continuation of occupation and a system of apartheid is going to addictive to the same values that the americans speak about all the time day and night the same values of democracy and the respect of humor it's a threat of terror so there is a big contradiction here second i think. these settlements and this apartheid system contradicts even the american interest in having stability in the middle east those who think that the situation in the middle east will remain as it is

short sighted sooner than later with the prevalence of democracy you will see more and more people in the middle east siding by the palestinians and demanding that out of the palestinians the continuation of a system of apartheid is the most disturbing in fact in the middle east do you think though that now with his second term in office president obama might in the future pressure on israel that perhaps this trip was just the beginning of maybe hearing both sides and it could develop into something else we'll believe it when we see it up till now we've seen none of that and we're not going to sleep with illusions we're going to look at the facts and the realities. meanwhile we have to make our own reality and we've made up our mind we will create our own reality by insisting on changing the balance of power by through our nonviolent resistance by trying to unify all palestinians together and by demanding a stronger international solidarity campaign including boycott divestment sanctions against the israeli apartheid system like was done with south africa in other words

we are not dependent and we will not be dependent on whether america will change or not we will take our the matter in our hands that's the meaning of the new nonviolent movement in palestine taking the initiative in our hands and putting our facts on the ground and in countering the israeli facts on the ground with palestinian facts on the ground if then i've seen this change this position then that would be ok that would be positive but we are not going to it prime minister netanyahu said at the united nations that the deadline for iran's nuclear program is this coming spring do you think that that might have been the real issue on the table during president obama's recent visit well look legally in this visit and in what was stated the issue of iran was with the head of the palestinian issue that's clear to everybody but and i think that's wrong and that's a mistake and always israel had an excuse for not or not dealing with the palestinian issue and not achieving peace first it was the soviet union and that by

the stimulus i don't know loans for soviet union than it was easier than it was syria than iraq now it's iran maybe tomorrow it's as it will be as a vision i don't know so they always have an excuse but the iranian issue is not an issue that should prevent dealing with the palestinian issue the palestinian issue is much older and much more serious and much more. and has much more impact than that only an issue in my opinion president obama has spent more one on one with this hangout who then he has with any other leader who do you think is calling the shots i don't. but i don't know who's calling the shots nor one thing the chemistry between them regardless of how long how many hours they've spent together the chemistry has not been good. i don't know how it is today but i know one thing that president obama had much better positions before he had all these hours with netanyahu than he has now what did the palestinian authority or what

does the palestinian authority get from this recent visit from president obama the most important thing is that he is the first american president that visits palestinians after the state was declared in the one and in a way that is important of course but beyond that i don't see any of that effect does it weaken the p.a. in the sense that there's so much anger on the palestinian street and they welcoming president obama on obama's terms i don't know if it weakens the period you know what it what will weaken it very much if the idea to go back to negotiations without a complete settlement freeze and without clear terms of reference if they do so and if they're bent under pressure from the american side or israeli side then will they will definitively lose a lot of their popularity and lose a lot of the of their credibility dr mustafa barghouti thank you very much for joining us here and i thank you you thank
