secure and prosperous and democratic. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy confrontation let it be an arms race. spearing dramatic developments only. i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical. to sit down and talk. welcome back to worlds apart but say barack and secretary general of the palestine

liberation organization mr erakat there are some efforts on the part of the former u.s. administration the obama administration to try to convince its european allies to centrally hold on for a few years until trump is voted out of office you know they say idea that one day no mallets you will have returned i wonder if that is the perspective that you take as well that this current american predisposition which is clearly harmful and unfair to your cause that it is only temporary well look we we had meetings with the trauma administration and two thousand and seventeen thirty five times going in for some months between our president and president. and i held personally thirty one other meetings with them as negotiations we give them a possible chance with their decision in declaring as a relative israel to disqualify themselves from any role in the peace process we will not sit with them they're not partners they're not only biased the adopting

the israeli bush and of dictation and that negotiations and you know once franklin d. roosevelt said the officer that i thought is an officer of international morality and officers international morality needs john statesman nothing else that agents this administration cannot be a partner and of course we our only option is to stay on this land and to be in this land today between that of a jordan and limited in and we are the majority as palestinian arabs but austin and christian and muslim arabs we're fifty point nine percent jews are forty nine point one percent what are they going to do with us other than creating extremism and then you know when violence is spread and people are being killed and what sides then israel would say oh these people have it in their d.n.a. they are terrorists and so on i have devoted plenty five years of my life in negotiations with israel to save lives raise ample us any and to live and let live

we have a good night there's a right to exist we have accepted a policy and step with the recent of skeletal to live side by side in peace and security with the state of it around the ninety six seven lines. what it is a good return more settlements more dictations more killing more murders more siege more closures more collective punishment on demolish and all these all these actions are being done in two thousand and eighteen by a member of the u.n. and they call it the only democracy in the world this is its fascism and it never in the history of south africa darkest hours of apartheid where blacks prevented to use roads what we're using to there are in the west bank and east jerusalem roads we cannot use us palestinians and such diseases as bigotry and racism once in inflict only underneath our skins of any kind of any risk for any religion we had it in this is a justify it sometimes we give sociological psychological economic sexual explanations and now israel is using the pretext security to justify its apartheid

system being created and those bank is tourism and the gaza strip and this must stop and this we will stand up we will not depart this is our land and we will defend ourselves mr erekat let me ask you one more question i know that the you believe the trance announcement and his decision to move the american embassy to jerusalem was essentially the end of the two state solution that's at least what you said on record and i also heard you say that trans decision will force the palestinians to strive for quote unquote historic palestine from the jordan river to the mediterranean sea which is another way of saying that you too not only reject the two state solution but you actually don't recognize israel's right to exist on those territories i understand the emotions behind that statement i understand that but do you think it can bring your people any good in practical terms look what i said i said i said our only option our option is

a two state solution our option is to live and let live our option is for the state of israel which will be nice on the ninety six seven lines to live side by side in peace and security of the state of palestine that's what we said now israel. the nutter who as a person instead refused to stop settlements and so on so we're left with two options if israel is destroying the two state solution and benjamin netanyahu personally is in office for the last nine years destroying that was state solution and now to camp to hold them in order to be a two state solution will it was two options one is needed now is option one step two systems up or fight this will not be accepted to us the second option is one state equal rights for jews muslims and christians to live together that's a very civilized solution but the israelis will never accept it. so it was a distress a two state solution and of the option of a third is not doable for the palestinians and of the option of one state it was not the will for the israelis what will this leave palestinians and israelis with i think the this narrative of historic palestine is definitely becoming more popular

among the palestinian officials just the other day mahmoud abbas said that palestine is for the palestinians it is not as the jews claim the land of their ancestors so he does seem to be questioning israel's right to exist on those lands and i wonder if that does not make it easier for israel to paint you as anti semitic rejectionists president mahmoud abbas went to the security council in february twentieth two thousand and eighteen and his speech last week of the palestine national council reiterated our commitment to the two state solution where the state of palestine with these duracell limits its capital will live side by side in peace and security with the state of israel and he called for an international conference and he was willing to come to moscow and then with asian president porton to meet with it with prime minister netanyahu and prime minister netanyahu refused then with asian present put in place not once or twice and accepted we are with

a two state solution with organized israel and israel did not recognize us since one thousand eight hundred we have accepted resolutions two for two and three is rare and who has israel and since one thousand eight hundred israel has done nothing but to dictate settlements on the land that's obviously a palestinian state that's the reality that's a reality we never abandon that was their solution that's a two state solution as our line is our vision is to live and let live because we know that we realists this is the only way for palestinians and israelis is to have two states to live side by side in peace and security next to each other. now who's destroying the two state solution who's building settlements in the supposed to be a palestinian state on the hour every hour who's the stating that it was a limb other than from bennett and you know who is doing the collective punishment and military means can you solve the political problem with military means you can't you can't so all these things our position is that we have to win as israel and the stance israel refuses the two state solution present never mention two

states he mentioned in the context that if both parties agree the giver of it or tenet and you know they did the administration's of united states in sixty seven considered is jerusalem as a territory now they said will who knows jerusalem as defined by the government of israel that means they have abandoned their line that is there was a massacre but that it what do you do in such guess i think i think this region is being thrown to the hands of extremists i think moderates are being destroyed and i think this is their intention their strategy so they can say israel can say oh we're only democracy we had we don't we don't we want peace but we'll have a partner for peace and nobody will ask them but you had a partner for peace would have ignited you since non-kinetic there and they negotiated with you for twenty five years and you did not move one inch to announce that you accept that was their solution or you want to who knows the palestinian state or stop settlements or stop the collective punishment mr erekat we've talked

about israel and the united states but i think it's also evident that one of your former strong backers in the arab world saudi arabia is also. well is no longer there for you if i may put it that way i'm sure you've heard about this leaked conversation of the crown prince saudi crown prince reportedly suggesting that this the palestinians should take what's on offer or shut up what's your reaction to that. this is absolutely baseless it's not true last night i was with the president when he when he received a phone call from his majesty king so members of judges of saudi arabia he called for an emergency session to more of what a lot of foreign minister to be a push to fully support us they denounced and condemned the thumb decision and that's this is false accusation they're trying to show up to tell palestinians that you are wrong that's a lie we have a common arab position i've made if i would it with each other over syria where are over libya over yemen but when it comes to palestine. united the last summit held

and riyadh. so man of saudi arabia said it's the summer of jerusalem and condemnation of the times a decision that is the truth that's the truth there is no other country that doesn't support us fully supporting us and that's the truth so all these lies being spread by myth and you know that are trying to to say that the way they see their geopolitics of the region that iran is a threat and that we join with saudi arabia and we join with the emirates with this with that that's totally got the lights netanyahu as occupation is this it stabilizing all countries well mr arafat may have to leave it there really really appreciate your taking time to talk fast today and i also invite our viewers to keep this conversation going in our social media pages i hope to see here again same place same time here and also part. of. our.

the united states can always had a tool to use in its tax on other countries. economic sanctions or are often just the beginning another thing you like to do is place some military pressure on the countries a talking about. and there has to be an effort to demonize that country and the leader of that country. we have a responsibility for the head. and we need to make rules for the rest.

because without us there will be. seventy four design submissions. seventy thousand pilings. to join judges. and eight hundred sixty nonstop days of work. a russian w.b. a champion of it. and a russian pulp stuff. show you how. long the crimean bridge was built. witnessed the construction living you need to transport. that will help dogs of crimea. most of those you know won't go for more snow you get

a bit but it's going to. i. i. i like. europe is prepared to use its most powerful tool to protect the e.u. companies from u.s. sanctions. imposed on anyone doing business with iran. and your approach to russia and supporting the euro over among the plans confirmed to our

table one of the parties poised to fall next coalition government. and german media reports now suggesting how long possessed the sample of the nerve agent as the salzburg boys think this is despite the u.k. previously claiming russia was the only country that possessed it. this is r.t. and. the e.u. has announced it to use its own economic weapon to block the u.s. from sanctioning european firms doing business with iran the us has threatened to sanction any european company that deals with you commission president jiang said that brussels could for the first ever time impose the so-called blocking statute

that bans any e.u. firm from complying with foreign sanctions. of our put of work as the european commission we have the duty to protect european companies so we now need to act and this is why we're launching the process of activating the blocking statute from one thousand nine hundred six we will do that tomorrow morning at ten thirty start off with just what is the blocking statute well it's the strongest weapon in the e.u.'s legislative arsenal when it comes to tackling sanctions placed upon businesses and entities from the european union the law itself goes back to one thousand nine hundred six it's never been acted put the closest it ever came into operation was back in ninety six when the u.s. was considering placing sanctions on european businesses importing things and doing trade with cuba what we are going to see is that on ten thirty on friday morning a really written version of this law specifically for the current situation

regarding the threat of sanctions against businesses who will continue to trade with iran what may have been but final straw and pushing the european commission towards implementing the blocking started may well have been these words from french petrochemicals giant to tell saying they weren't sure whether they were willing to risk sanctions by the u.s. will not be in a position to continue the project and will have to on wind all related operations before for november twenty eighth seen unlist total is granted a specific project by the u.s. authorities with the support of the french and european authorities are speaking at a summit of e.u. leaders in saffir the french president emmanuel mccann vowed to protect european business for the defense attorney general we will work to maintain the framework of the twenty fifteen deal in spite of the american decision and we will do so in a concrete manner by maintaining our political engagements by ensuring that our

companies can stay in iran and also by getting all parties to pursue negotiations were a larger. indispensable but despite the words from politicians in the action of implementing the blocking statute that still hasn't stopped other companies from already saying it they weren't going to do any more trade in iran we've seen ali answer the german ensuring giant say they were going to pull out they also alongside the danish shipping company maersk the pull out by donald trump from the iran deal that unilateral decision to take the u.s. out of the iran nuclear deal that really has soured relations between some of europe's leading leaders if you will and got merkel said just this week that europe was at a crossroads when it came to its relationship with the u.s. it certainly seems if it continues down this route it's a route that doesn't bring washington or brussels closer together donald trump is testing the patience of the european union and the u.s.

needs to understand another part of the international community and they call just throw their weight around as they've been doing and expects everybody to fall into line donald trump has as damaged relations is no doubt about that bought. clear that the e.u. are prepared to stand up to him now a new obviously have to or is advisors will have to reflect on where they go now hopefully it will be a wake up call for the whole trump and you know he will start to see sense but if he doesn't there is a real danger the so i was still further. italy's five star movement has confirmed to r.t. it's preparing a draft resolution alongside its euro skeptic ally the league party to form a coalition government quitting the euro and lifting sanctions against russia appear to be among the major issues proposed after the document was linked to the media to show the dubious he has more details. many people see these two parties who are from the left and the right side of the political spectrum as being quite

radical parties they're anti establishment they're anti e.u. and already that leaked document and its details have caused some jitters on the stock market with many investors selling off their italian assets when those leaks were put online so what's in the document what's causing this vexation they want to leave the single currency that would mean quitting the euro they also want the european central bank to write off some of italy's debt with two hundred and fifty billion euros they also talk about russia and relations with the country between russia and the e.u. saying that they want to scrap the sanctions that are currently in place against russia and want to see russia as being a trading partner and not a threat and also quite crucially they want to revise the e.u. migration rules that currently exist which means that migrants have to apply for

permission to stay in the first country that they set foot on well we have had confirmation from the five star movement that this document is authentic but we've been told that it isn't all document and there have been revisions since that was dated on may fourteenth however we are aware they've told r.t. that there is a final agreement that's already been put in the new agreement on russia but we don't know the routing of that yet but one certainly to watch out for given the tensions between the european union and russia so why is there anxiety about these two parties coming together is seen as being anti establishment and some fear that the suggestion that these two parties could form a governing coalition in in italy could actually threaten and destabilize the euro zone if you think about it italy is one of the three. crucial members of the euro seen including france and germany and if you think of it as being

a three legged stool if you take one of those legs away then it could just completely collapse all around and that's what many people fear will happen with these two parties if they come together but let's be clear they haven't yet released a final document they're still working on that they want to form this governing coalition so that italy doesn't face fresh elections that there still seems to be some sticking points before that government can be formed the asco is a lecturer at the school of political science at the university of belonging that thinks if the deal is actually implemented it could influence the policies of other e.u. countries i think the key thing to here will be what the actual action of the government will be if a government is in place with this platform so rather than the words written in the agreement i think we'll have to see whether this government. actually starts starts governing starts running the country and which policies it actually tries to put

into action so this could have an impact on other countries both in terms of the rhetoric towards europe and in terms of specific actions. there's been a possible game changer in the script poisoning case a new report by german media suggests that burley not navi chocked decades ago and that it shared it with its allies the nerve agent was used in the incident involving the former spy service cripple u.k. blames russia for that attack claiming it was the only country that possessed the substance. has more on those revelations. well the headline grabbing revelation in this german media report is that the german intelligence agency the b n d has handed a sample of the novacek nerve agent since the early one nine hundred ninety s. it was apparently brought over by a former soviet scientist moreover according to these reports the sample was analyzed in sweden and then it was passed on to germany's nato partners including

the u.s. and the u.k. the german media investigation also says that this goes to show that russia has been producing novacek which is something that moscow categorically denies but coming back to the formula itself it appears to have been a pretty badly kept secret earlier this month the czech president milan stehman said that the czech republic had produced and stored albeit a slightly different strain of the nerve agent to the one used in souls brave but nevertheless that country shouldn't be hypocritical about this. small amounts of money trump were produced in the czech republic we know well and we know where it will be hypocritical to pretend such a thing never. however politically moscow has been cast very much as the unequivocal perpetrator of the soul's bre attack to reason may said that it was

highly likely that russia was behind the attack on the script take a lesson where all the cold food is about the identity of the culprit no other country has a combination of the capability the intent and the motive to carry out such an act cool civil alternative explanation yet but. this is. close even keel just to give. a shit.
