BBC News - Mid-East talks 'within reach' - US secretary of state

The BBC. piece on the prospects of peace talks does concentrated on what Israel is being asked to do in order for talks to take place, yes it's 'settlements' again; Michael White will be happy.
I found this extract interesting:

' Among other issues, Mr Abbas is said to be pushing Israel to release the longest-serving Palestinian prisoners.'

No BBC interest in what these prisoners were convicted for? Of course not.
