president obama and mahmoud abbas.e questions, primarily of president obama, about the status of possible future discussions between israelis and the palestinians. the president speaking in very careful, diplomatic terms, talks about the israeli settlements in the west bank. he says the united states doesn't consider continued settlement activity to be constructive or appropriate, but he says he doesn't think it's everything that both sides want to happen has to by perfect before both sides get to negotiating. >> that's absolutely right it will be a hard process, and you used the word difficult several times. no question, this is a starting point. the president making it clear it's not easy. but the president saying that the palestinians deserve a state of their own. they compared the two places to the united states and canada at one point. a bit of a joke, but clearly a lot of difficult work before that is even possible. i want to bring in new york republican congressman peter king. former chair of the house homeland

next speaker. >>> tariq mahmoud followed by peter jacobs. >> mr. mahmoud. >>> good afternoon, directors. so, we go to the town hall meeting. the point of the meeting is to tell the people what mta wants to do and what people tell them what's the best way to do it. but when we go there, we just listen to lines. and if anybody try to go right or left, we have a tendency to scream on that person. would you believe that two, three line we talked about the ramp, just saying the people were on the waiting list, they are getting these medallions. now, the question is these medallions which are coming back, ramp medallions, who is going to hold them? how long they going to hold them? the drivers who are going to drive them, they need to have ramp training, too. why they are going to get ramp training if they are not going to be permanent on that one? nobody ask this question. it's a quite cumbersome issue, but nobody want to discuss in a meeting, town hall meeting, but they don't talk like that. they start 360 degree about over cab, about something else. w

the president is meeting with mahmoud abbas right now, jess.g for in this meeting? >> reporter: nothing that he plans to announce when he comes out, john. the goal today is really for the president to see what it would take for palestinians to go back to the negotiating table and begin the process to talk again about reaching a peace agreement. those peace discussions stalled out back in 2010. there's been stalemate since then. the president deliberately came to the middle east, he said, without some sort of obama accord, if you will, or a specific road map to peace. he said that he came here to listen. he said his mom taught him that's the best way to approach these kinds of situations. he made a joke about that. his mom was an expert in these things, as you recall, an anthropologist. a much better listener when he is traveling overseas, maybe not so much with congress. he is meeting with abbas and -- go ahead. >> i was going to say, republican congressmen might have a different view of his negotiating tactics generally. jess, i should say, yo

president obama left jerusalem this morning to head to the west bank where he met with president mahmoudas. he was greeted by a crowd this morning as only the third sitting u.s. president to visit the palestinian territories. just hours before he headed into the west bank, palestinian militants fired a pair of rockets from hamas-controlled gaza. they landed in southern israel, but no one was injured. president obama rejected that violence and said he was committed to a two-state solution in the future and he was very specific about what the u.s. wants to see. >> we seek an independent, viable and contiguous palestinian state as the homeland of the palestinian people alongside the jewish state of israel, two nations enjoying self determination, security and peace. >> nbc's chuck todd joins me now from ramallah. chuck, hello. >> reporter: well, good morning, chris. let me just tell you the most remarkable thing about this morning's events between the president and abbas is the fact that the president is openly admitting that he is simply trying to get the two sides to sit down and talk rat

thursday the american president will be here in ramallah for talks with the palestinian president mahmoud abbas and the palestinian prime minister salam fayad we don't exactly know what is on the agenda but i can tell you that palestinians are angry firstly obama is visiting israel palestine for three days but he's going to be visiting the palestinian leadership for just a few hours the rest of the time he is in israel he's not giving. any kind of address to the palestinian public which is later today he will be addressing the israeli public and then he will not be visiting the grave of the former p.l.o. leader yasser arafat that you see behind me where as he will be visiting the grave of the former israeli prime minister yitzhak rabin certainly the feeling on the palestinian street is that this is a visit by the american media ship that is a sign of support for the israelis and that it is ignoring palestinian concerns and palestinian issues so certainly a lot of anger here in palestine and obama will have a lot of having to make up if indeed he's going to get the palestinians on his side

wherever you're watching around the world this is our duty to mahmoud's and it's good to have your company with us. an increasing number of children are being recruited by both rebels and pro-government forces in the bloody conflict in syria that's according to un investigators and charity activist as the crisis in syria is approaching its second anniversary this week at the u.n. is again warning the conflict is far from a simple fight between good rebels and evil government forces reporter dilemma was ini has the details from damascus. the conflict is getting more complicated we have seen many many phenomena regarding the children being involved in this crisis we have seen many children like eighteen and. shouldn't and the school ages where their school they were destroyed and they don't have any other thing they've been going through to done some time paid for or paid for they've paid and one of the north important example of this was the video that was on you tube something like a month month two months ago for a child of seven years old by having cutting the head of a military officer

adding to the tension was chavez's long list of dubious friends who's who of american enemies from mahmoud ahmadinejad in iran moammar gadhafi in libya and iraq's saddam hussein the price of his socialist agenda chavez himself term limits were abolished even his critics admit he could have gone on winning elections indefinitely his biggest failure may be his unilateral success a legacy of one before his death critics said chavez was leaving venezuela in the control of narco traffickers and this morning u.s. officials are wondering how his passing well impact relations with the oil giant yes of course the big question what's going to happen to the oil can't think it any more obvious look i'm not going to sit here and glorify venezuela or chavez or socialism for that matter and in fact there are many legitimate criticisms to be had take for example the heightened rates of violence and censorship and prosecution of political dissidents but you hear the less appealing aspects of chavez i ad nauseum from the corporate press so my job is to tell you what they won't lift the veil on the most egre

in the west bank you have mahmoud abbas and his fata movement. president said maybe they are not doing everything he would like but are making important political and economic steps. then he said there is a huge divide politically and economically when you look at gaza. from our visit on that point you'd have to say the president is dead right. to visit gaza is to step back in time. and to wonder if hate will ever give way to peace. celebrations of the hamas military wing that lobs rockets into israel. and tributes to men hamas calls martyrs but by most any other definition would be called murderers and terrorists. poverty, run down housing, mules and horses alongside beat up cars. here, though, proof gaza doesn't have to be so bleak. this man says those with jobs are less likely to choose hate and violence. 600 workers here at the plant's hay day. just 300 now. most of them part-time. >> we've got actually five lines and we used to have three shifts a day. now we have only one shift for three days a week. >> reporter: it is the price gaza pays f

off today's talks between russian leader vladimir putin and his palestinian counterpart in moscow mahmoud abbas is on his first official visit to russia since becoming president of the palestinian state in the wake of the un vote now you know going to following the meeting a way that irina is that actually any chance of achieving progress in the long stalled middle east process. well it's curious to note that this is the first visit by mahmoud abbas to moscow in his fresh new capacity last november the united united nations general assembly has voted to upgrade the status of palestine to that of a nonmember observer state this move was essentially a part was this move was essentially an indication palestine could be recognized as a as this movie socially indicated that palestine could is well it's way to be recognized as a state and it was also regarded as part of the basis for a peaceful solution and of course this is going to be one of the major issues to be discussed between the leaders between between the palestinian and russian leader but it's curious to know that this is coming ahea

well the president of the palestinian authority mahmoud abbas also appears to have little hope of tangible results from the bomber's visit as mentioned before the two presidents meet later on thursday in the exclusive interview with r.t. arabic channel of us says there are plenty of words but little action when it comes to israeli settlement expansion full interview is coming up a bit later on but here's a quick taste. in his statements president obama has repeatedly voiced his opposition to illegal land exist propagation and we think his right now all that remains sees to translate words into action but i have always asked americans and europeans to tell me if there has been a single miscalculation on my part in domestic or foreign policies over eight years well the israel makes mistakes every day so why don't you let them know. big talks over a tiny country moscow has become the focal point in efforts to solve cypresses economic crisis with issues arrived in the russian capital on thursday joining the cypriot finance minister who is already in town yelling euro zone state is running out

when you look at who chavez was lumped in with the likes of fidel castro marmar gadhafi mahmoud othman dennis rodman saddam hussein they share a commonality they all opposed the u.s. corporate imperialist takeover of the planet going forward keep this in mind when a leader is vilified and demonized and usually signifies their threat to the status quo so regardless of what you've heard what your personal thoughts are about chavez he simply cannot be dismissed as a tyrant because his voice of opposition and others like him serve a necessary divide to prevent the global corporate enslavement and tyranny. given the news of the president hugo chavez there are many questions over the future of the country the bull varian movement and the relationship and history will have with both the u.s. and the rest of latin america moving forward to talk about what might happen next in the country the good the bad and perhaps the ugly legacy of hugo chavez i'm joined now by jim mueller brown global strategist with your global thank you so much for coming on and you for having me so you just wrote a real

next to the palestinian leader mahmoud abbas has been hosting talks with u.s. president barack obama on his first ever visit to the west bank palestinians were left in the world by the meeting saying a bomber avoided the most grave obstacles in the peace to the region about his trips been overshadowed by reports of a garden rocket attack on israel to the cave office meeting there on wednesday with from mr benjamin netanyahu party's policy is got the latest on the story. well it's not such a large crowd of anti obama protesters here in ramallah but the sentiments being expressed here already reflected of the general mood on the palestinian street and what people here have been chanting is a bomb that if you're not black they've also been chanting that the occupation is like a snake and america is the head of the snake they're also saying that this is a nation that cannot be defeated not been talking to several people and what they've been telling me is that first and foremost through this visit a bomb has made it quite clear that america's support is for israel
