just the dr no iranian president mahmoud ahmadinejad's arrival in new york is marred by protests but while some are pulling out all the stops to portray him as the enemy others are questioning the cost of the campaign. and up next we get an inside look of what it's like to work for the most wanted man on earth asama bin laden nomen bin ottoman reveals what was happening behind the scenes and why he's now encouraging extremists to give up violence. i'm in london today saying whether a leopard really can change its spots i'm talking to no human but not smoke and who is a former senior leader of the libyan islamic fighting group he spent several years with bin laden in afghanistan and in siege on in the one nine hundred ninety s. but he now advises on counting extremism for the quilliam foundation in london mr bennett meant thank you very much for talking to r.t.

now you maintain that you strongly discouraged just saw a very large and from going ahead with the september eleventh attacks what do you think has been the net result of those attacks for muslims all over the world i think it's it's a total chaos and disaster the outcomes it's negative for me for you take it from a muslim perspective i don't believe it's helping the muslims which with the other set up users and based on this if you like the strategy he said i would like to break the hold was the more so i believe one very important issue here blood and he said he would like to talk to defeat the enemy of islam and at the time he labeled the us as the head of peace like a coalition against us now but now he's ended up fighting every single muslim country how do you think that's happened yeah i think this is the problem when you can't maintain the difference between strategy and tactics and you start to take over to compile your tactics this is the what's happened and this is one of the explanation why and i felt heavily laden like terrorist activities because defrost

strategy i don't believe whatsoever to have a strategy running up to september the eleventh what was the mood like in the inner circle we used to talk about the escalation of the war itself against the us and the west we are aware of like blood and he's going to escalate the war after the have to be i think the ninety eight. attack against the the two u.s. embassies in east africa so that was the be me. in the main argument about about you need to stop you have to stop this war because it's going to like chaos and disaster and harm muslims to afghanistan specifically but he insists at the time like he has like one operation he cannot cancel now because it's too late and he said he's going to the moral vision he should carry on your person and then he said after that we tried to do his best to stop the war using can stand like the pace for his strategy to attack the world but by then it was too late right bin laden

vastly underestimated the response of the us to september eleventh so they never ever imagined retaliation or the way how the us going to retaliate or to respond to an attack but he was born myself and the people we want him like if you attack the homeland it's going to be really really very very tough . response from the u.s. and i remember i thought i told him and already it's not going to afghanistan the u.s. will try to dominate the whole region but let's go back into history for a moment because you fought with and are proud of having fought with them what you had seen in afghanistan against the soviet union how much do you know about links between the mujahideen and the cia at the time from the muslim perspective the war it's not against russia which the exist country now it was against communism even the soviet union muslims they've been provoked because of communism you know it's

problematic issue even in the. muslim countries in the worst because you know communism used to be labeled like the anti religion and god muslim christian or jew so it's very important like the ideological motivation how muslims they've been participate or being encouraged to go on fire there but i know it was within the context of the cold war between the son. the union and the u.s. so the mujahideen and when they fought there if you take it from the of going perspective you know it's just a country being invaded and as i told you from a muslim perspective it was like by the power of god and to religion it's very this is this is the main if you like argument behind this in the muslim muslim world so then there's the element politics which is like the whole war if you like that all but the western world and the muslim countries the course and they support the war

against the soviet union so when we went there we are fully aware of the political context. not me. but the main issue here does that our agenda or not this is the main issue so if you ask me i didn't go there to hold the u.s. or the cia i went there to help muslims there to help the afghan people against an ideology of believe it's real to islam i know the cia involvement in that war but i would like just to ask you know when if he can give us a single evidence or just one evidence that there at the time there is a communication link between the cia and the i can assure you it's very hard to prove that and even with the afghan mujahideen themselves you know there used to be seven parts. i am aware did they dealing with the pakistani intelligence service the i.s.i. so even themselves didn't do the deal directly at some time and there's

a meeting but but stan used to control every single issue especially like the military stuff emissions fund it's all it has to go to. afghanistan and while we talk about the cia a soldier will be a muslim country and one of the leading muslim countries in the world every participated at the time on the war so here we have a very some public and powerful muslim country involved in the war were you receiving weapons from the us no it's not talk about the arab when we were. we just get the weapons if you ask me of my own experience it's from two main parties you know i am my personal experience here i thought which is that i didn't have any now he's very famous because of what's called a kind of network so our weapons used to be from his like from his commanders and these people here on the frontline and from. as well. we are libyans we used to cooperate with him a lot so it's that if you talk about morality i believe if you ask any single arab

or muslim you know he's not a gun and he participate in the jihad he will give you the name of a local commander so you never directly met any cia representative in afghanistan i've never ever seen anyone there. for a minute i've seen either don't know this or once it have been like the you after the horst battle which is very flames when i was there but you know like people from the u.s. they are from different countries the been there and they entered the city to start to give help to the locals i'm like yes but i've never ever seen any like or even pakistani i've never ever seen any books thing official there but this i know but it was like very supportive to the ideas of i think it's a myth to see even the level of forbearance you know if you like to go down very deep but this is usually all the witness it was a soviet made you know it's like the eastern bloc you're still very proud of the time you spent in afghanistan now the u.s.

is the invading force that what's the difference between those two conflicts in most of the muslim scholars in the world. they have a different point of view now from the war what's going on the most of them delivered as if it's a civil war you know muslim be killing each other despite the presence of american and nato there so we don't have like a significant real support from muslims around the war you know like skulls and talk about the religious happens and it was the case where you talk about the first war against the soviet union communism you haven't renounced jihads entirely you still support something that's called defensive jihad that seems like rather a gray area particularly when it concerns countries like iraq and afghanistan no it's it's like this. when we talk of our jihad as a religious duty or concept it's something be mentioned in the koran at least forty times ok we believe koran it's something been revealed by god to prophet muhammad peace be upon him it's not like someone just come up with the idea jihad it's not

just religious duty and then we said this is exactly what kind of doing so it's a religious duty period that means just don't kill yourself i think jihad should be and should be understood within the physical coalitions because it's at the end of the day war what we see now was a kind of call jihad or other jihadi groups they don't have the support from the muslim countries themselves and they don't have the support from the cause which is pretty reported issue the religious taboos in every single war you know don't support the jihad people there are sponsible war everywhere in the world against many nations and countries and societies do not have the difference between soldiers and combat troops and civilians and they have to act jihad first of all then behave itself as a religion i think we should really start to talk about jihad not within the muslim perspective it's too late now so we need to accept that other people from different

nations in the war they have the right to start to talk with us about jihad and how we should control it how to. what's the meaning of but you yourself have launched jihad against the libyan government what would you say is the relationship between what you are saying now and your fair of any repercussions from this possibility in government regarding libya yeah i think it was wrong from the beginning you know to start like a totally and. a conflict and using violence against against the government and the regime because it's like you cannot fight against the government by its own society itself will be forced to involved in this conflict sometimes you have a legitimate claim you need something to to do you need to achieve something yeah i can tell you now i'm one hundred percent sure using violence from the muslim groups it's been proved by history we have it now it's more than thirty years now it's

strong with the outcomes it's a total failure and not the first time saying this and i have derived it and one of the few people have the right to say this because i said this in the year two thousand and nobody at the time listening or aware of this and i'm saying this with people all of them they're still alive and they can talk they were there when i said it's a portal for the outcomes of the jihad movement it's a total failure that means we need to change their strategy that's the end of the period so i think now the main solution is all the islamic groups they should give up their arms struggle and give it back to the governments whether with the will like them or not it's not love and hate it's politics so you need to give it back to the government of the selves and you should so involved in political struggle if you have still have a political issue and use your twenty's twenty five years as a bank round as someone being proud of himself you've been in danger if you put your life on the line i use that as if you like

a background if i may say you know we create yourself as a politician. use that could be a good model be a role model because now i think it's very dangerous to go from one conflict to another one conflict and i think a war region especially in the middle east can't stand this process anymore no member not meant thank you very much thank you. nineteen thirty eight england and france try to reason with hitler germany demands are going to land and gets its way they all thought they had created a safety net for themselves nineteen thirty nine the whole of europe isn't dumped in war efforts to establish a system of collective security in one hundred thirty eight failed and it's still on the agenda that. the lessons to be learned from the munich agreement on our t.v.

now the new k h l season is still only a couple of weeks old but one team desperate to be champions this time around a metal magnitude course they've never won the garden cup despite winning just about every other owner. takes a close look at the team and town built from steel. strike world are in this heart that's what this team has consistently done to be gone one of the giants of russian and european ice hockey three time domestic jam bands two done yearly winners from when you the worst one of russia's largest industrial in mining cities are more open than not labeled as favorites in every tournament they put a spade in meanwhile the continental hockey league and its major trophy the bigger in cup women's losing. dollars if you will that from season to season we have the

same aim planes are potential and get to the finals just a simple as that the kids shell has become a much stronger competition recently so this season must be even tougher bigger nevertheless mccoll can get significant doing foresman with a challenge you can't and you can't coach a killer little committee to the good going to finals in two thousand and nine and really it was named the league's best go down and pull these two to the foot of the ural mountains of course here is like a lot of experience in this game has been reading i guess you see all the plaques up in the roof so the stimulus dollars how do we know there's lots of experienced players so. of course we have a lot like a new coaching staff and we have new system some new players and it's always take a while you know everybody to get used to their systems and. and i think like like

every other way. there's no point looking too forward i mean plans and predictions you should just work hard every day and see what happens my only aim is to help you telework leaf the garden club which saw them going. the steel makers have another ac their pack losses in little rock signed one of the greatest russian players ever three time in the chill stanley cup winner so give the order of the four year old superstar fully worth that this move to me give the board was about much more than goals and assists. i talked a few people on the management. constantly talking to some coaches team. give me some of the response and. ask me a lot of interesting. questions i've been very careful i don't say too much or too low or i just want to. let them know what i feel or what i think and sort of

decide what to do next now it's time to find me a little bit more about the man that mountain city which is the english form of the course it's definitely best known for its steel and iron works the serious role during world war two going to be overestimated as it's a blood much of the steel for the soviet army at the same time it's location near the ural mountains made it really we see from nothing raiders by the way most of the worst is one of those places where different parts of the world collide i mean asia if you step forward. i'm in europe. but every european trends are certainly more evident here. especially when it comes to ice hockey in a welcome addition discount from west to east. are in the works it's like a sightseeing the city can be proud of but is this the filmmaker's where the very first russian hockey club to be supported by their own cheerleaders.

if. there is one other very important element pounds meat middle biggest them. the most but i never miss a single home work if the work can use you in hockey give up the work that's my motto now actually i'm already retired so there's nothing to stop me from supporting my favorite teams. are. enjoyed his time and make me the course there now in tennis russia have been joined against sweden in the first round of next year's davis cup while newcomers kazakstan will pay the czech republic in there right now because it's making the top tier of men's tennis for the first time following victory over switzerland last weekend in a small thanks to their adopted russian pair. paul think caught up with. under the goal of roof was a standalone player from kazakhstan's recent davis cup tie was switzerland so good

was his play it seems only a matter of time before the twenty three year old makes the world's top twenty one coach eric von harp and has been helping out goal a bit and he says the world number thirty nine has the potential to mix it with the world's best i was just talking with him. comparing him a little bit. so the only thing is that he plays only with his upper body. get the same i think he's a. little bit strings or is fast serve and strong forehand which a number of top twenty players have found out to prepare all over the last few months however he says there's still plenty of work to be done i think. physical. is important and to to continue to continue games are not playing a while we. do have a consistent. career started to move the right direction when he decided to switch

allegiances from russia to police because like stan in two thousand and eight a decision he says took him only a couple of days to think through he has no regrets about not playing for a country of his birth while his game is improve massively during the last two years in part due to a massive increase in funding from the kazakh tennis federation first science simply because i become a couple air that's very important it's a wanted and the time and doesn't. seem so let's. change and then always. have a good deal with the guys from ten years ago so it's nice but father biggest moment in goal of short career was his victory hamburg to his first ever a.t.p. title this is seen as ranking rise to a high of thirty six in one. world but more importantly it's giving him a massive confidence boost i knew that they can beat the guys in the can we need

some tournaments but one thing you know i you know but. there is a trade by myself at the us was a really really got me go a bit who's been living in training in italy for the last eight years so he wants to move further up the rankings next season for someone who's so young he's incredibly level headed and if he can keep his feet on the ground it won't be long before he's making a name for himself on tennis his biggest stage richmond pull for a doxie kazakhstan. to be interesting it has extended drawn against russia that is always sport for the moment later.

bluefin would be so much brighter if you knew about some.
