the recent conflict with israel despite the heavy cost after his claiming victory after president mahmoud abbas successfully upgraded palestinian status at the united nations as her musson fattah move closer together the irony is that they getting help from israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu in his right wing policies and rhetoric are winning the palestinian support and sympathy on the international stage it was on that on yahoo's watch that as the recent united nations palestinian statehood bid demonstrated european unfailing support for israel has floundered it was also an attorney a whose watch that u.s. is revelations reached their lowest ebb and now it's on his watch again that palestinian unity seems plausible for. for her it's a long term interest of her for us to think of as a cooperate again because otherwise they're running the risk that the west bank will be and probably part of the same political structure which defacto right now is the case leaders from both sides have a new day calls for reconciliation if you think that of course. between hamas and fatah is a catastro

need in these are the steps that will work you were a former advisor to the palestinian president mahmoud abbas did you quit because you lost faith in the goetia asians absolutely absolutely it was a. i went through a very deep crisis of faith when i began to see that the only strategy that was being adopted was one of negotiations in the face of countless countless. announcements of settlement expansion in the face of israel's construction of the wall. and the only position that the palestinian authority continued to adopt was to go back to more and more negotiations without any visions without without any sort of idea of what would happen if those negotiations failed i couldn't be part of that process any longer what the terms for peace be different now than they were when you were negotiating back in two thousand two thousand and five no they're precisely the same and one of the problems that we faced during the negotiations was that israel was unwilling to recognize the pluck ability of international law meaning that all of the territory that it occupied in one nine hundred sixty seve

president mahmoud abbas has officially changed the name of the palestinian ministration to the state of palestine move follows a successful initiative at the u.n. that has given palestine nonmember observer state status but despite this the nation is still a long way from unity as artie's fall asleep reports thousands of families are torn in two by barriers put up by israel. this is the erez crossing one of five land crossings between israel and gaza getting through here is tough you need the right permission and papers but this crossing does not just separate israel from gaza it also divides families who are trapped on either side of the border these are the tears of a boy who hasn't seen his father in three years mohammed live to gaza in search of a bit of a life for his family but what he found on the other side of the border was loneliness and despair and what he left behind destress and fear. i miss my father a lot and i want to see him i'm afraid i'm not my father must come back here we must go and live with him but he can't come and we can't go. all they have now to remind him

still working at fifty seven i'm sure i'll be much different of this no more than i am today what mahmoud to me i mean you know you just told me you've seen it all i mean you the trying to get the quality then the quantity i mean what's. the exciting thing is i can go out regularly. go experience i just feel like a great tool for me an experience wilderness and nature. and it's purest form. the bottom line is it makes me feel really good at the end of the day and i bring that energy back to my house back to my town and it's you know i want to get the most out of this life and so far the snowboarding provided a great. great moments for me is it possible to to make what you do a real i mean a real competitor. did you think this is possible or you should stay as it is i mean it's so i think a hiking thing well there is a free ride world tour there was an event one or two years in. in sochi. it's a great tour from a personal level. not. that doesn't drive me i'm not trying to beat the next guy down the mountain or what have you so. my wildest dreams i can imagine to be an olympic sport but wh

to input saeed as well as the situation in egypt really descends into a bit of a crisis president mahmoud morsi counseled his travel plans yesterday and met with his national defense council to discuss the deepening crisis across the country one of the upshot of this meeting was that they may consider an emergency status we don't know the details of what that would actually mean but of course here in egypt they lived under state of emergency for thirty years in a bar which led to protests being banned and censorship being legalized something people would really be very angry with and want to avoid to get to see if this situation continues on the streets of cairo and put saeed and we see further deaths and they may resort to emergency status but here we don't actually know what's going on quite yet of course a lot of i'm going towards the president this started just at the end of last year when he pushed through what was very seen as an unpopular constitution drafted by an islamist dominated constituent assembly people also say that he has not made any of the changes that were called for d

continue to hold to its position that there is no partner on the palestinian side that the leadership of mahmoud abbas is not a leadership which wants peace in the eyes of the israeli government and therefore the israeli government will attempt to keep the status quo in place which has been rather comfortable for israel we have had no real terrorism there's no uprising taking place in the palestinian territories the separation of the west bank and gaza has played into israel's interest and i think that the government of israel will seek to preserve the status quo for as long as possible the question is how long is it possible for that to continue. i want to talk a little bit more about jewish helmets one of the parties that is being predicted to win relatively big during an election like you said it's still early but it's an ultra right pro settler party how large is the support for settlements among israelis in general. well this party is expected in the polls this morning to get about fifteen seats out of the hundred twenty so together with supporters from the likud we probably have twenty fiv

iran chooses a new president in june mahmoud ahmadinejad has served his maximum two terms and there is little clue as to who will replace him to tackle the almost inexorable tension with the west over tehran's nuclear program with journalist actually returned see who's often shared his insights on iran with r.t. doesn't expect the new leader to bend to foreign will i think whoever we people of iran elect policy foreign policy terms things are going to be much the same people are already talking about the mayor of tehran at the moment i was in a job himself president ahmadinejad was the mayor of tehran the new mayor of tehran ghalibaf and people are talking about him. perhaps winning in june because it's too early and is notoriously difficult to predict iranian elections as to whether they will be as hardline and again the terms of the terminology of western corporate media on this or bizarre image of the islamic extremist in all sorts of different morning because the point is iran is there to stay in terms of forging a very different type of developing nation economy because it has all
