a war torn serious serious partnership with iran has long been irritating washington yet another reason say some to go after are silent relying on iran as your best friend. only strategic ally is not a viable way or critics say the u.s. takes on the role of world policeman not being used on its inherent altruism because they're out of self interest and the bigger question is are those interests have made the world safer or have destabilized stick more i'm going to shift our reporting from washington r.t. . to lead this hour about the life of the russian province and. been failing to hold an evening because some change could be around the corner find out more in a few minutes here on aussie. now russia has a clear is they invited to the ice hockey championship between do you think its main rivals denmark and ukraine possibly park without

a fight if you go to cannot force the announcement ceremony in slovakia. after the very last moment all three bidding countries were stayed in this race but right just several minutes before the winning bid was announced then mark and the other contestant ukraine of course they said that they're just not ready to for such a massive sporting event so russia won this big fair and square moscow and st petersburg are going to hold the world hockey championship in two thousand and sixteen to two capitals the russians are going to become the capitals of hockey if you wish for that year the good ceremony and the presentation was held here in berlin just like russia's prime minister vladimir putin personally came here to watch it and here's what he had to say on this russia deserves the course through these championships not just the. glorious the cubans and

not just because we have not been good at all or indicates but because of our great desire who's the great and from all the ideals of sportsmanship let's let these them where live in fact to be meet in you thirteen to revive this beautiful kid and i took time to to learn to ski. and i must admit it was not easy not even for a person who had been practicing sports with the kids and even harder time learning to play ice work but now i have first hand experience of these truly great. still some time to go and a lot of preparation is needed for more on this i'm now joined by the president of

the continental hockey league alexander beautiful he's going to thank you very much for drawing i. were indeed. that's a moment when the you said that we still have a lot to do russia still has a lot to do to prepare for this but there's already a bee sting you told us more about yes she was ready because the boss was going. to cost plus our study those good bye plays an ice pick that's the. championship is not just our city itself. it's a it's a fan zone and i believe we should take a lot of lessons from the previous champions used to be in first class events that was going serbia was. in some petersburg and moscow. respectively in two thousand and ten two thousand and seven but i didn't get all the lessons. you got. that all the fans will enjoy this is a definitely agree event for russian hockey and for just all the sport lovers out

there in the country but it's also part of the whole cino very successful bid sochi two thousand and fourteen and we've got the football world championship in two thousand and eighteen what does all this mean for russia i believe it. goes that all of russia in the world because you can get this for granted. with a very serious complaint that us boils down not going to play. all the youngs around the first class so fucking the asians but they decided that was their all because it you know lies that oh you was just wrong that. you got this going all the talking to the president of the club's awful hockey league on its own advantage in these capital washington says the u.s. will continue its campaign in libya is kind of that attacks his own that people meanwhile the libyan government says eleven muslim clerics have been killed by an ace who asked why can he save the country but

a top libyan opposition official is in washington for talks with the u.s. administration on more support threats now calls. the school was johnston he's in paris for us but also many thanks for joining us this evening now the u.s. defense secretary robert gates has admitted in what washington is still where we as to understanding exactly who are the libyan rebels make up exactly so what do you make of this. really is the last three months of the coalition's campaign in the country. well they are to know some of those rebel leaders pretty well since they've been in contact with them for a long time and one of them is the. colonel have. was years. very close to the borders. i don't think that these leaders. are named as head of the transitional council are

really strangers to washington i think when they go there they can be a little bit coming home. ok well of course we have had our seven front gates there they are wary as to saying exactly who the makeup is and also nato does say that it's providing financial aid to the rebels in order to help protect civilians song do you argue that this could spiral the country intern even more complicated situation what you make of that. well it already has i mean this this course but what's happening is that this is the scenario is playing out slowly because france and britain and the united states who started this saw that they would fall very quickly and they could have their victory influence and thinking a little longer it becomes a little more obvious what the whole thing was about from the start which is a resume change and so of course it's totally illegal although the united states

will pass a law for the sake of full legal for themselves to take the money they say could duffy's money in fact this is libyan government well you probably and handed over to a group of rogue rebels with this again says we don't know exactly who they are they know them well enough to give them a huge amount of money so what do you suggest should be done with those present assets about money i think it's to be said where blogs i mean if we believe in any idea of property it should be shifted from one to another and i think that the international community should take the suggestion that was made at the very start by letting americans and africans and oh i think russia and have a ceasefire and negotiations should have been done at the start ok now the rebels are claiming that the country's leader is a legitimate target saying that he is attacking his own people but again this has

led some call to suggest that the coalition's humanitarian intervention is something of a cover for a campaign to just get rid of color khadafi what you read about. well of course it is i mean frankly i think most of the world sees it that way what bothers me is that here in the world in france and other countries they are so taken by the media live in last proof that there was massacres of his own people if they say that was simply asserted by rebels who are interested in bringing aid to their cause there's been no really independent investigation of these charges and it's being assumed the musical not because they want to get rid of him and that is perfectly obvious to most of the world i talk to people in america they all see it that way and i think it's terribly dangerous because we're getting a slew the world in perception that the west very arrogant and very violent

is seeing what world and the rest of the planet you see a rather different and i think this is a really dangerous and i think that the. there are many spirited lack of respect for the common decency of mankind on the part of the worst is moving us to total. a very strong opinions that janet johnson has gone right many thanks very source from power. ok well the influx of refugees fleeing the uprisings in the arab world is driving something of a wedge between e.u. states some are calling it see reinstates temporary or even pummel its border controls within the union unseen since the shang an agreement came into force sixteen years ago and desire to use on a bushel reports europe might have opened the floodgates for trouble. the dream of european integration goes off the rails in a pizza feud between two of the e.u.'s founders france blocked all train services

don't want them here. protested to the french embassy for quotes voile ation of european principles france counts as it's already takes five times more immigrants than italy and please hear of the european parliament say they need to control immigration but with each member state putting its interests first and blaming each other for the problem migrants are just getting calls from one state to another e.u. security chiefs this week held crisis talks admitted the system's roit for abuse one and the same applicants for asylum can have like seventy seventy five percent chance of being granted asylum in one country of the european union and less than one percent with the same reasons in another country states and they'll taking the law into their own hands on wednesday reintroduced border controls for people coming from of the e.u. states build your home of the e.u. headquarters is now calling for the same. legal immigrants to.
