not apply there of course conditions in order to be able to like any other country in the world there are conditions that should apply to anyone who wants to write for their foreign. work for a foreign media establishment and i think. there were problems with the permits so the stations themselves were not the issue they should was the people working for the stations as far as living up to the requirements of the permit conditions is there a fear that iranian influence could destabilize the kingdom no actually you know we don't have the fear that exists. as far as this issue is concerned at all we feel quite confident as to the stability and security of our country we feel that we have of course

a very secure borders because jordan really enjoys good relations with almost all. but we are vigilant of course quite careful about. life rights here and there but we do not feel that we have to be panicky about this there has been some controversy surrounding the alteration revoking of the citizenship of palestinians who settled in the kingdom in the one nine hundred fifty s. how would you respond to such criticism and what factors led to this decision there is no actually the decision of this nature at all we do not. withdraw. nationalities of as you say i'm still. just listing the origin we do not even have the. austrians or. the games or for the origin of jordanian. syrian origin we only have jordanians that's

the only term. in the case of. people who have jordanians who have visited and see in there was a bank. they are given permits by the israelis we would like these people these jordanians to maintain these permits in order to have to keep their right in the west bank if they were all to abandon these permits and go anywhere else in the world they would only contribute to the confiscation of the two confiscation of arab rights and of course this was done in implementation of an arab summit that was held in nineteen eighty eight after the disengage the administrative disengagement agreement that was proposed by the

p.l.o. by the palestinian palestine liberation organization and again accepted by an arab summit so do the israeli implementing what the piero said at that time and we were also aware of the fact that if we just make it easy for people either palestinians or jordanians who have property and there was bank to leave we are only facilitating the process of confiscation confiscating of other plans and arab rights and we do not want to be a party to that the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu recently said that he planned to deport some seventy thousand palestinians from the west bank to jordan what is your response to that is really a very negative development and we completely reject this decision and oppose it you cannot definitely uproot people from their life. and throw them

anywhere else in the world and expect to have peace with them or their representatives this just doesn't happen. we would like all these unit steps to stop immediately because they are very dangerous to the peace at most fear and they will definitely torpedo any efforts to move the peace forward as the un h d r's budget continues to decline aviv plans to allow iraqi refugees in this country greater freedom to work. iraqi guests in jordan are working with all the freedom that is there. first of all we don't differently call them if you g.'s they are our brothers they are. suffering. very difficult situation. they

sold our health in jordan as brothers and in our arab culture move would give you a brother you share with him you have a loaf of bread he split in half and give huff to your brother so out of this tradition out of their long history that binds us with our rocky brothers we decided to host them here temporarily until the situation in their country improves and then they can go back to their country. but while they're here of course jordan as you know. is it. is not which country do that it's not a country and especially this year we are really living through difficult economic situation we have a deficit in the budget. or there is a strain in our own our economy from different angles but nonetheless we have our

iraqi guests are still among us and they're enjoying everything his majesty king abdullah was very gracious in permitting all iraqi children to enjoy education just like their jordanian counterparts to enjoy healthcare for all iraqis enjoy healthcare. just like jordanians and education for all iraqi children is free in jordan so. but there is a limit as to what jordan can give as far as this. issue is concern and we do call upon the international community to continue helping to even boost its assistance to jordan in order to enable it to better serve their iraqi guests what do you believe is the solution to this problem of the iraqi diaspora yes of course the solution to very very problem of their rocky

people who are living in desperado with jordan or syria or europe or anywhere else in the world is to create a situation back home creates a political sense that would encourage iraqis to go back home the question is why aren't these people going back home differently they feel probably that the security situation is not as they desire feel that they are still. issues with the situation with into the situation back home of course this matter is up for the iraqi people to decide but again. and there are definitely encouraging signs in iraq going on the decision of the allied forces to withdraw from iraq next year the political process that's going on in iraq is.

or is going quite well there are setbacks sometimes the electoral the electoral process that happened recently is still. hung as we would say. but we do hope that. iraq is from different backgrounds or would we would come together and decide to put iraq first to do to do whatever they can in order to keep this. ability and prosperity of the country with tension surrounding the establishment of a new iraqi government do you think we could see more people leaving iraq we don't know we have this this will not happen of course still the consultations are going on to form a new government. but the political. parties are

discussing it. and of course again as i said. we don't like to interfere in what is happening. but on the surface very clear hope that all of our kids will come together and choose government that represents them all a government that lives up to their aspirations and definitely when this happens. will resume its role in the arab nation and differently the arabs also have a role to play in supporting iraq as one country not definitively. one party at the expense of the other we were if iraq is not stable the whole can the whole arab nation is not stable the whole region is not stable we have a vested interest. to help iraq resume its role within our broncs because of the

situation in iraq and the palestinian question is it likely that they will be greater influences from outside jordan affecting what people are thinking and doing internally that could ultimately lead to a destabilization of the kingdom we do not think really that there is cause for worry as far as the stability and security of jordan is concerned the third round us of course are known to everybody about we we are confident that people who are living in jordan. without protest you know under fiji's who are forced to live outside their country because of the occupation or iraqi guests who are again forced to live outside their country because of the conditions there they definitely appreciate the security and stability they find here and the fact that they are able to live quite normally and they will be with us in

trying to maintain the security and stability because it's definitely in the interest of all of us living together and this country now to not be alone thank you very much for joining us have an ati you're most welcome my pleasure.

put it into a bit winning if not the result speaking to me by gary as his side prepare for the english premier league season which starts in just a week's time. preparing for that is full of his new manager mark hughes the former manchester city boss has been brought in to replace roy hodgson he moved to live a poll forty six year old first game in charge will be home on august the seventh in a friendly against the bremen while their domestic season kicks off week later at bolton which is hughes is pirated the next campaign. also year last year is running in europe was magnificent. it's a standout season in the history of form of she would be difficult to replicate in terms of domestic competition but that's something not willing to do obviously i think last year given the focus on europe obviously good premier league form wasn't . as good as it could be a muslim to stumble so without the destruction of europe it was

a very nice destruction we can construct fully on the premier league and make sure that we have been twelve this year. well let's get away from football because the men's basketball world championships get under way at the end of the month into thinking russia's coach david brat has unveiled his political ring squad for the event although he still looking for a front man that has the story. down fast on red square in russia's camp is one of excitement at least young and ambitious team is ready to surprise the wall beyond. again they'll travel to torque is beyond the dogs but this is the usual position for david plotz side we are realistic and know what the strengths and weaknesses of our team or i know what things we have to do in order to overachieve and we will have to overachieve. but i'm confident that with the effort level and the commitment dedication on the part of the players that we can do those the coach will have to make do without his team leader sunday to get into

and j.r. holden both were crucial to the sides will be a success to date gold and the european championships in two thousand and seven but this time they had to withdrawal for personal reasons pressure will have to look for a new front man before the country strong hope will be mikey must go down to a four year old signed every yeah deal with the new york knicks last month and will be drawing miss attention and they are coming championships. but of course this contract is a great boost for him but the national team is a completely different story i still have to do a lot to establish myself as a key player. david blood says getting for the group stage is the mean task for now and it shouldn't be an easy one for sale for use horse storage fee as well as groups in groups however b.c. has already proven their ability to ween despite all the odds against them by the midst of. his

team win medals at the sochi olympics in four years time constantine part of yes has a job on his hands there was the team picked up just two podium finishes at the vancouver games in february his review. rushes in the middle of a heat wave at least has been some respond to the country speed skaters provided much retraining in much cooler confines some of us plenty of work to be done even with the start of a new season month so why and especially for new head coach constantine part of yes has got the job of trying to make russia a force again into sports. in my view the problems with russian speed skating have been purely psychological we've lost that winning mentality during the soviet union and even at the turn of the millennium we were always winning but unfortunately this isn't happening anymore and i think it has a lot to do with the psychological state of our sportsman he will tell you it certainly has some pretty great behind him he's worked with the dutch team one of

the world's best and couldn't picture ambiens like spain crema needed in who is turning his attention to russia and the country's top speed skater certainly didn't mind to do his appointments. years ago should get experience he has experience in the best country in the world for peacekeeping i mean the good ones so who are upset if they spend. young boys. and now what we need to change our minds and to work the new program with international because you don't have a very strong girls play before you need to go to bed. up at six in the morning. you must be professionals. and i think he must teach us how to be professionals strong but it is a prime example of how low the level of speedskating is reached in russian twenty seven year old who won silver bronze in vancouver trained in italy with four million big champion enrica fabrice and run up to the games as he's offered him a much higher level of coaching however scottish saying is he's going to come back

to russia to train full import davia disappointments. will follow a russian team i will follow cause they promise it to my president any president russia is getting in the next two years just so so. i'll try to follow and they will try to help myself to state foster of course the russian coach him before the russian stuff for russian guys who works in national team comes to temple to me actually once competed for the us sun has a tough job on his hands he says there's plenty of potential but now it's all about working to try and turn back ten children into gold medals come to sochi olympics in four years time which mum boldly don't see moscow. and find they all say setting himself a massive challenge is the three time tour de france champion alberto contador he's left or right the saxo bank and says he wants to achieve something now with a cyclist has ever done before the spaniard wants to win the tour de france here in italian and spanish in one season no one has won all three major tours in

succession like that therefore would make him one of the greatest champions ever and hope to do it while it saxo bank just signed a two year contract of course i think science is new team manager rates. is where it is that's for sure i mean a lot of the ambitions i mean one of these a business to win over fifty to one yeah that's a that's a great one and i like that jones and that's all the small family got more a few a bit rough. hungry for the full story we've got it first hand the biggest issues get a human voice face to face with the news makers.

are just coming up to around the height but suddenly out of nowhere they lead up to well over two meters and that's the sort of challenge these firefighters the facing as they put out one part then another pause brings up very very quickly we did actually have to move the position we were broadcasting from because we were very close to the woods in the fire we were off the road and the fire creeping over to us and so we were in very dangerous position because the fire could sweep towards us in a matter of seconds and caught us off as you can see the small clear and the smoke is very very thick the a's very very heavy and you can take the smoke here if you're outside for more than just a few minutes in fact it is quite know what's eating in fact that taste of smoke and there's a great blanket over the sky you can't really see the sun. you can tell there's no clouds you can just make out the sun but it's the smoke so thick it's not managing to cost any shadows and moscow region is one of twelve regions worst hit in the whole of russia and this morning satellite imagery suggested there were around eight.
