[0:03] Israeli government to make hard choices
[0:05] in peace talks with the Palestinians.
[0:08] I'm Russ Mitchell. Also tonight, Los
[0:10] Angeles police arrest a suspect in the

[1:25] before.
[1:25] >> We believe the borders of Israel and
[1:27] Palestine should be based on the 1967
[1:30] lines with mutually agreed swaps.
[1:33] >> Those border lines, which are a key
