occupied east jerusalem and since this area is illegally occupied by israel illegally annexed velvia is actually doing something illegal by providing israel with this service now because of all the pressure by the international community owned. to stop dealing with israel they've lost several contracts around the world in the most important of which is to build the building of the tramway in stockholm and that was a project worth three billion euros so after israel lost such a huge contract they've decided actually they want to sell their stocks in israel and they want to pull out of the project but right now nobody is willing to buy their stocks for the tramway in jerusalem putting them in a very difficult position i think the result of companies like valium getting into this difficult position where they committed the illegal act then the face international boycott is that other companies would think twice and maybe thrice before getting into an involvement with the israeli government now when i first heard about the boycott it reminded me of the boy that was put on barclay's bank

you can't get farther from jerusalem than we are now. it is a place where all the world is coming. >> 32-year-old natalie nelson, a california native felt the call to plant this church in wanaka. >> i traveled all around the world and spent months and months with a backpack on my back. i see them coming through that feeling, wish someone had taken me in or learning to meet people so quickly. >> scott says people are searching for something deeper in their lives and new zealand special beauty often opens their hearts to receive it. >> something about being immersed in the creation of causing this sensof worship. people call it all different things, connection with a greater being or mother earth. but the point is, it is a spiritual connection. and my joy is introducin people to the create or of the creation they are experiencing >> scott's ministry gives out special bibles for backckers. for some it is a seed being planted, for others it is the truth they have literally been searching the world to find. >> truthfuy these are the change ag

those include the political status of jerusalem. both sides want a capital there. the borders of a future palestinian state will have to be agreed. that will mean jewish settlements being removed from land that goes to the palestinians. and they'll have to be a just solution for palestinians who lost their homes in what became israel after 1948. there's plenty more besides all of that, including security guarantees. it will be a huge challenge. since the first historic handshakes between israeli and palestinian leaders at the white house in 1993, every attempt at negotiation has failed. the failures made matters worse. you can see why neither side now is jumping for joy. >> we know these talks will be complex. we know there are difficulties ahead. but a deal is possible, and every effort has to be made to make that happen. >> we hope that the israeli government will refrain from settlement activities, closures and any productive acts like munition of arms, deporting people from jerusalem in order to give this peace process a chance. >> this is gaza beach, swelterin

. >> bartholomew: this is the continuation of jerusalem. and for us, it is equally a holy and sacred land. we prefer to stay here, even crucified sometimes. because in the gospel, it is written that it is given to us not only to believe in christ, but also to suffer for christ. >> simon: he said even to be crucified sometimes? >> bartholomew: yes. because we believe in the resurrection. after the crucifixion, resurrection comes. >> simon: do you feel personally, your holiness, that you are being crucified sometimes? >> bartholomew: yes, i do. >> simon: that comment on being crucified was extremely controversial in turkey and touched off a national debate on its treatment of the church. official reaction to our report was negative. a letter from turkey's washington embassy called it "biased and one sided" and pointed out that turkey's prime minister has met the patriarch to discuss his concerns. but according to the church, so far, "there has been no tangible improvement on any of the problems." beer and wine and cupcakes. i was doing the co

and yet he's chosen the settlements surrounding jerusalem the suburbs to be one of the flashpoints that he's chosen is so true flashpoint in the debate but he's made it one he's picked a lot of fights with the israelis they didn't need to he's done it because he thinks he seems to think it is people seem to think that will lead to the arabs coming to the table but that is not actually how the arab world works and that's actually reduce the trust they have in the president as someone who can be a real negotiator why do you. reduce the trust of the jewish population or the arrow or the airport road does that reduce the trust of the arab world because israel u.s. and israel have had such a great relationship for so long if you know american president can come in and and beat up on their friend so much why should they believe that we can have a better relationship but i'm confused as to exactly how he has been beating up on his friend you know i mean first of all they just arranged for the new peace talks to become or to be in a month the last time that we're going to tell you who was here

well first of all the muslim armies of hitler were in the mufti of jerusalem raised muslim armies inbosnia and that's whose hit was muslims on this war and the fact that mind comp is the number one selling book in many muslim countries including moderates muslim turkey i think is very telling if you don't have a problem with muslims how come you posted a video on june twenty fifth on your blog you later took it down that suggested muslims have sex with goats and engage in beef deallocating. i never posted that i'm going to post that i didn't say that and that's not my position my position is i am against the violent ideology that inspires jihad in islam and there have been fifteen thousand eight hundred two islamic attacks since nine eleven all every single one with the imprimatur of a muslim cleric what is being done to expunge islam of it the violence teachings that are inspiring jihad as in somalia in ethiopia in levanon in gaza in france in england in russia the chen chen rebels in the wee hours in china i mean this is a world wide problem and i don't see where it's being address

and the political status of jerusalem. she said she hoped for an agreement within a year. israel and the palestinians began u.s.-brokered indirect talks in may. the talks were the first following massive israeli military operations in gaza. palestinian opposition to israeli construction of settlements in occupied territories has prevented them from meeting face-to-face. the middle east peace process is one of president obama's foreign policy priorities. the agreement to hold direct talks is a diplomatic achievement for obama ahead of u.s. midterm elections in november. but the talks may break down if israel goes ahead with plans to restart its settlement construction late next month. >>> japan's main ruling party has a leadership election coming up on september 14th, and back room maneuvering is already under way. the leader of the democratic party will also be prime minister. current party leader naoto kan wants to hang on to both job, but a senior figure in the party says he'll soon ask ichiro ozawa to run against him. kenji yamaoka is a close associate of ozawa. he said
