egypt today, president morse has no interest in seeing the cease-fire in gaza collapse. hamas claimed they had a great achievement. the cease-fire collapses, they lose their achievement. they don't have an interest in it. the egyptians clearly don't want them to have an-- at this point, you have a dialogue between the israelis and egyptians to manage the cause within gaza. maybe you run these two parallel aproaches because it creates an environment where you have a chance to see whether the negotiations between the israelis and the palestinian authority lead somewhere. and maybe that begins to change circumstance but i don't think you can do more than that. >> it does concern me to watch the inaugural address-- as excited i was as a good liberal. i thought it was one of the most liberal inaugural speeches since 1937, the second inaugural of f.d.r., but it was basically a domestic speech. if there's one thing i know about barack obama, having written a biography of him and having some contact with him, the one thing he is cop standpointly asking about when it comes to israeli p

the long divided palestinian groups fatah and hamas are seeking ways to overcome their differences and share power their leaders held talks in cairo wednesday and the latest attempt to bridge the gap between their parties and artie's policy reports it means a lot for palestinian families which have been divided by the political rivalry but it's been five long years since this family was together one thousand eight hundred days since i'm in a muslim last saw his son his crime belonging to a group the gaza government was opposed to except this time it wasn't the israelis who forced him into exile but hamas. i left my family and house in gaza and headed for the west bank but it was only after the negotiations began that seventeen of us were given approval to go back home. it was back in two thousand and seven in a surprise that hamas took control of gaza from weigel faction group fatah one hundred sixty one people were killed and more than seven hundred injured when the dust settled the palestinian people were divided among us was in charge in gaza fatah called the shots in the way spent.

the brotherhood believes. they've been saying this forever. hamasza is merely the palestinian wing of the muslim brotherhood of egypt, like the little brother and the stuff they've been saying about the israelis is blood curdling, it isn't just anti-israel, and it goes on like that. so, this is what they believe. but i don't think the diplomacy is very simple at this point because clearly there is a very large constituency for the brotherhood in egypt. whether it's a permanent majority or not we don't know, we'll find out. i suspect that when they govern, they're going to lose a lot more support than they had when they were in opposition because they will be a failure, but i do think that we have a dilemma. the fact is that mubarak is gone. the brotherhood is in control, but there is the army which is generally more pro western, more pro american, very loathe to reengaging a war with israel and they remember the previous wars all of which they lost at very heavy price and would be a stabilizing element. and that's the reason, sean, why we can't cut

victory after its president mahmoud abbas successfully upgrade a palestinian state has at the united nations as hamas and fatah move closer together the irony is that they getting help from israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu his right wing policies and rhetoric are winning the palestinian support and sympathy on the international stage it was on that one young who's watching that as the recent united nations palestinian statehood but demonstrated european unfailing support for israel has floundered it was also an attorney on his watch that u.s. is revelations reached their lowest ebb and now it's on his watch again that palestinian unity seems plausible for her it's a long term interest of her for us to think of as a cooperate again because otherwise they're they're running the risk that gaza on 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 work with them you know we think that of course. between hamas and the catastrophe it's proof for that doesn't mean peace et

for the last six years there's been a schism between the two main palestinian factions. hamas, which controls gauze up, and fatah, which controls the west bank. -- hamas, which controls gaza. and things had gotten really bad. there's been a realization in recent months between the two back some sort of palestinian reconciliation or unity is needed if there is to be an advancement of palestinian statehood. mahmoud abbas is chairman of the plo. he said recently that 2013 would be the year in which palestine would achieve full statehood. whether that is wishful thinking, to get there, reconciliation between the two factions is needed. that's why we are seeing hundreds of thousands of fatah supporters being allowed to exercise their voices and to protest and to celebrate the anniversary on the streets of gaza. >> thanks very much. venezuelan government says president hugo chavez is in a severe -- battling a severe lung infection in three weeks after his cancer operation in cuba. plenty of speculation about his health, following sunday's announcement of further complications. the o
