don't come. for the. we've got. the biggest issues good voice face to face with the news makers. it's help. this is on t.v. a town in eastern ukraine has been a state of fear after a double explosion and identified terrorists that threaten to start over more bombs or less a multi-million dollar pounds that is paid. cash apology from wiki leaks reveal the russians gone position often turns out spare help but frequently gets the cold shoulder from washington among the request for money and stepping up in the school pressure on the president. as chinese out american leaders agree that sue

superpower is still differ on the sensitive issues beijing's growing influence in the u.s. is making people look east. and is all is in the middle of the joke there's a list of how one of the world's largest spying basically caged in israel went on notice and for decades nothing till an investigative journalist will sit on a front lines have it. now the inquiry into why the u.k. went to war in iraq will not draw on the private correspondence between former prime minister tony blair and former american president george w. bush the letters will be able to shed light on exactly why the u.k. got involved with the invasion one of the politicians in the party was in power at the time now gives his insides an interview with our city. today i'm in london with jeremy corbin he's

a member of parliament with the labor party and also an antiwar campaigner we are here as tony blair appears before the chilcote inquiry for the second time jeremy cope interacts very much for talking to r.t. now this as i've said is not the first time that blair is appearing before the iraq inquiry can you just remind us what happened last time will he was very nervous to begin with came into the room and was asked some questions of a moderately robust way about the evidence leading up to his decision to recommend to parliament but we know very few to rock and then the latter part of the he turned into a sort of tony blair lecture in defense of his policies on what he calls humanitarian intervention and then went on to warn the whole world about what he perceived to be the danger from iran and i thought the whole thing was a travesty because this is meant to be an inquiry looking into the absolute

details of the decision to go to war with iraq and it turned into a totally of course and i'm quite pleased that he's been recalled to the inquiry and i hope this time the inquiry shows its mettle and goes through again with tony blair. the legal advice he was given why he sought a second u.n. resolution if he thought the first one was to authorize an invasion and why he then recommended to parliament that there was an overwhelming case of danger of weapons of mass destruction and why we should go to war and i think he's got a great deal to answer what are we expecting this time around to do the questioning is going to be more robust i hope so and i think so because the chilcot inquiry feel quite nervous about public perceptions of the role and their effectiveness in . so i think this time around it probably will be quite tough and blair is really their key witness he must be he's absolutely essential to the whole process because

he's the only one that was involved in every single one of the decisions and every single one of the meetings he's the one saw the attorney general's apparently informal advice he's the one who decided what from the attorney general would be put in front of the cabinet he's the one who discussed with jack straw and with jeremy greenstock what went before the un security council and he's the one that decided what he was going to say to parliament and what he didn't say to parliament so yes he's absolutely central to it but this is in a sense the last chance saloon for british public inquiries because we have the foreign office. committee inquiry we have the parliamentary processes and then gordon brown agreed that this inquiry would be set up and indeed it has been set up . if we're to have any reasonable standing as an effective democracy then this inquiry has got to go into some fairly serious detail about it and recommendations

about what's going to happen next no it's not a judicial inquiry which many of us wanted but i get the feeling that a legal process could emanate as a result of the evidence that's going to come out and how impressed are you with the inquiry say far even do you think its depth and usefulness has been what you hoped it would be i have mixed feelings about it. i don't. denigrate it i think they have tried quite hard in many ways they have spoken to families they have taken a great deal of evidence families of soldiers who tragically lost their lives in iraq and they're now taking evidence would turn in coming back but i remain slightly skeptical that it isn't going to just say there has to be improvements in the processes of government and there has to be better recording of meetings and all that sort of thing probably yes. maybe that's not the issue the issue is this country involved itself in what i believe to be an illegal invasion of another

country we've lost a considerable number of british soldiers a much larger number of american soldiers and others have died and tens of thousands of iraqis probably half a million iraqis have died as a result of this and is the world a safer place no is the threat of terrorism there is no is this a good way forward for world international law no you mention that a legal process might result from the chill cos inquiry. do you think that if tony blair was prosecuted for war crimes as many people want that would result in the world in fact being a safer place i think if a european politician former head of government in the case of tony blair was actually brought before the. international court in the hague and investigated the rest the world would have far more respect for the international process because the moment the most prominent people who have come before it have been. the

attempts at arresting the president of sudan the current trial that's going on charles taylor from liberia and the past process on milosevic and the situation in yugoslavia but the perpetrators of this war. iraq war are in the united states and in in europe and i think it would do an awful lot for the standing of this because there is a bit of a feeling around that ok you go off to big guys in small countries you won't go after big guys in big countries what do you think blair's legacy is and how do you think it will impact the position of the u.k. in terms of the rest of the world well in politics it's quite possible to go from hero to zero and back again. blair became leader of the labor party in the one nine hundred ninety s. change the whole structure of the labor party and had

a very easy innings with the labor party because. we were desperate with an item of an election his government really had sort of three strange directions to it and they were actually sort of rather different he was always and remains a market politician he believes in a market economy he's not a socialist in the sense of any kind of economic transformation. yet his government at the same time did introduce quite important social legislation national minimum wage sure start children's centers and the human rights activists and quite good things on that and quite libertarian in the sense of age of consent and issues like that then in foreign policy starting out from an ethical foreign policy and the robin cook we rapidly descended into being a total poodle of the bush administration in the usa and blair's legacy what ever else he says or does in his life is always going to be iraq was labelled bush's

spoilt puppy by the british media do you think that the u.k.'s relationship with the us has changed at all since he left power blair associate himself totally with bush and the strange thing was after nine eleven which was a dreadful event. absolute condemn what happened on nine eleven everybody else condemned it but blair when. firstly with a very strange speech about we have to pay the blood price for the relationship with the usa it's going to war with afghanistan he associate himself with bush more than anybody else and i do remember at one parliamentary labor party meeting i asked him said well where's the benefits of our special relationship with the usa how much employees do you really have over bush and his reply was of i told you that the implements would form which. of us is going to cause a lot of other people blair is a politician who has very high regard for his own ability has very limited respect for international law hence he would not have promulgated this idea

of humanitarian intervention instead he would have worked through the un and international law i think that's his legacy and the other thing is his behavior since he ceased to be prime minister is obsessive touring around the world collecting very large fees for speaking gate and it's reported in the press last week that he's made twelve million pounds since he ceased to be prime minister some full time only. made it clear that he wouldn't allow iran to develop nuclear weapons do you think if he was still in charge we'd already be at war with iraq he seemed to me to be building up a case for action against iraq from very early on. i think we have to recognise there's a terrible danger in all of this absolutely condemn human rights abuses anywhere in the world are condemned under saddam hussein i condemn them what's going on in the present time the purpose of intervention in iran is not about human rights in iran

the whole thing is about iran's position in the world iran is a powerful country has a great deal of oil it has a great deal of military it also has a great sense of its position the persian empire the derivatives of it they also have a sense of grievance against the west for the coup in one nine hundred fifty two for the. protection of the oil for the imposition of the shah and also the behavior towards the islamic republic and so i think we have to have a dialogue with iran they don't have nuclear weapons at the moment they are signatories to nuclear nonproliferation treaty they have withdrawn from the fall don't carry supplementary protocol i think we should be upping in gauge with iran rather than the sanctions policy on the isolation of iraq engagement is likely to bring about improvements in human rights engagement is light bring about the prospects of iran working with the rest of the world and the gauge would actually strengthen the hands of civil society in iran as well. thank you very much you're

desert look at how one of the world's largest buying bases located in israel went on though to speak to. an investigative journalists on the frontlines of it. now back to the top of the hour with more world news on next they got a sports round up for us. hello death thanks for watching the sporting these headlines good day for russia if you're striking an open his main hopes of a movie over and usually advance and grand. larceny heavy truck driver valery cherokee and he returns to russia after winning number seven at the dakar rally. and rude awakening can put it in chechnya we cast our eye over the lake is for a manager to take

a chance in russia. but start with the tennis they were still flying the flag for his country he's the only russian left in the men's draw but made it through to the third round after a grueling five set of the ten seed was pushed all the way past living is a blast cabbage usually producing some magic to put himself through this one can change coming from two sets down to the level of my usually two side a six one set of round meeting with me last brian. rafael nadal showed why he's a top seed once again he thought the american ryan sweeting wrapping up a straight sets win in just over an hour and a half to set up a meeting with bernard tomic in the next round. i think so with a few mistakes with the back and. the serve i serve myself at the lot since. the first day i was suddenly well to all the. to the right of who it.

was that was very difficult for moment but. myself worked. so hard for the. top ten c. drive in so doing any mary and roger fair also advancing into the next round with easy three sets when. you say david today that i'm sorry on the women's side. the two seed videos of the new yorker is safely through to the next round after beating a boy an edge of an off skate she did have to come from a set down but the russian says this sort of match will make a sharper for her next match against czech lucie safarova. definitely get in better in that's what i want in this kind of match you know where maybe you're not in perfect drug the whole match and maybe a little bit inconsistent he had but you still get him through this kind of match and i really think that it will really help me to improve for the next one and i'm very positive about it you know and. maybe you know maybe not as sharp yet

as i want to be but different this kind of measure will help me to be better next year and also progressing is by rushing out into traver who beat a leecher mollica muscovite reaching the quarter finals at melbourne last year but was made to work in the first set winning six for the second was easy though she took it six one and that set up a meeting a third round meeting of fellow russian catherine occurred over. the cat over. there from the ukraine also a good victory on a former two time or straight open junior champion and it's to see if the chunk of . but three russians did lose elise a clear ban over the and kirilenko are all on their way home. meanwhile came close to us who destroyed in our saffron a six love six love in round one was again in dominant form this time against

carlos watters navarro the third seed didn't manage another double bagel but still beat the spaniard six one six three next for the belgian who's never won the australian open title says france is for me. i went out there with the intention to to stay very aggressive and to you know not let my opponent kind of play a game and that is you know trying to really mix it up and. play with a lot of spin and. know she can only do that when she has a lot of time i think it was really up to me to try and kind of limit that from. really be aggressive when i was out there and i did. the big shock in melbourne seven cd leaning yankovic's going out to the n.c.b. chair and paying for the chinese wedding when to set up after winning a tie breaker and then stroll through the next six three afterwards paying said his secret was keeping calm while yankee bitch was honest enough to me she wasn't good enough on the day. you just tell myself about the tragedy ross

missed myself in and just look at the ball and chain at every point yes i think it's a matter of just you know i have a better selection of shots at the wrong times i make a. cool fall to me. is that only a. crucial part of the management. top. in the. past two will sometimes accept those things because if i'm really. tired of those who really believe i can do the then why am i doing but then it's the poor who just have to pause to. keep working hard and hope we can go now away from the australian open because brutal it will be arriving in russia on saturday to take over as manager of russian premier league side terry gross need the club's president could do it off is targeting

a top five finish for the dutchman's first season in charge and wants the club to win the champions league in future but what are the chances of that happening russian for war item art bennett says while it will be up against it at the chechen club. i think you have a lot of problems in chechnya because. basically he doesn't speak russian and i don't know i feel a massive culture shock when it comes to that although terrible promising they're going to attract world class players in the side i think that any amount of money will be very difficult toward players even to russia let them chechnya which has been the site of the brutal fighting there in the recent recent years there in tears my we more just on the publish the side the p.r. side of things around actual football inside because russian the russian foreign minister really do very well for the exception of fifteen cannot because i think he said he wants them next year to get in the top there and get in europa league place which means top five which would be a major achievement if it can get him to the i think the saying that he wants him to win the champions and it's going to put

a little bit too much pressure on the guy who is inside the job i'm not able to miracle if they win it but anything is possible of course. he will be interesting now the former manchester united star it can snow has joined new york cosmos as that director of football as a side note tries to become major league soccer's twentieth saying the cosmos recently bought the name of the old north american softly to which the likes of pele playing for their side can see not the rest of the club's management hoping to quickly build a strong academy which will be useful for the u.s. national team as well. last. week. you know just. the work of the because they improve it was towed. when the community woke up six or seven players. come from me of course. it could be great for everybody. and when the food food food. champions again with the tenth
