standing a few words and a man behind the mission are in high spirits a russian american and japanese astronaut will spend half a year on the space station. america's i all i know iran as a roaring acco of what happened over were rocking the view of pulitzer winning writer samer hersh and he's been telling our teether washington's ignoring its own intelligence because it's how bad the fighting nuclear weapons just don't exist. pulitzer prize winner and legendary american investigative journalist seymour hersh is best known for exposing the my lai massacre in vietnam since then his investigations have continued to shake up washington from uncovering torture at abu ghraib to exposing secret u.s. military operations overseas to his latest piece which pokes holes in the commonly held assertion here in washington that iran is developing

a nuclear weapons program mr hurst sits down with r.t. to discuss his latest story in the new yorker magazine were here he says the obama administration allowing fear and not facts dictate a potentially disastrous foreign policy towards a wrong mr hurst thank you so much for sitting down with us based on your investigation is the united states wrong to assume the worst when it comes to iran if the fear is based on the notion that you know that's not our iran has the bomb or is going to get a bomb soon that's ridiculous because every bit of evidence they have it from their own intelligence community. the people the proper bieber go but no there's no weapons there we've known that for years we've been looking for years after years of years we support the stations program that's designed to stop the punishment is . aimed at stopping the iranians from doing something we know we know they're not doing to me and so i wrote the article the analogy between what they're doing obama

is doing with iran is very close to what bush and dick cheney did vice president then did to iraq that is they they wanted to punish they wanted to make a case against iraq they didn't like the politics. and so we made a case about nuclear weapons we were if you remember they were talking about mushroom clouds make a case they go to war i don't i'm not suggesting these guys want to go to war i mean there are elements in america sunni elements in israel that would would love to see us attack iraq but that would be suicidal and. there's no actual evidence of the iranians developing a nuclear weapons program but why why the fear mongering and the rhetoric whether it's the administration or the mainstream media there's no evidence of or weaponization there's no evidence anywhere i went you could you go to london you go to you go to you go to the french you go to the germans they also the same thing we thought we still think they might want to go but we we don't have anything it should be open and shut we should move on but we're not and so what you're seeing is the belmont weighing me and what i wrote and they're ignoring it to

a point that there's always a group that doesn't ignore stuff but the mainstream press basically they have their narrative. and they don't want to change america i've been writing about the secret operations we've had inside iran in new york for about five years because they started and laid off or maybe or five vice president cheney was convinced there was a secret facility somewhere underground in iran and so our special forces units were going in and we went in through herat and in afghanistan we went in through baluchistan. in pakistan we've been going into iran covertly with money and chemicals and support chemicals but i mean by plastic bombing explosive materials we've been dealing with lesion dello we've been dealing with the iranian kurds because you read this in groups inside iran with the goal of trying trying to find. neutralizing their their weapons program and finding their secret program we found nada nothing and now there's been two internal what i wrote about in the

magazine is that in two major internal studies that known as national intelligence estimates sort of the most secular state documents we have in our government in terms of an assessment and they both said nothing there what the obama administration disagrees with your assessment oh yeah i mean big deal i mean you know. i'm doing my job when when when the white house is mad at me i could care less and by the way. from my point of view these guys are no more no more they're no more straight with us than the bush white house was and that's a shocking thing to say with they they're pretty much the same why is the mainstream media not reporting this i get a lot of stuff from colleagues around the world were more open than the american press is through its criticism of america but i asked somebody one of the guys from so boston globe guy and who just said something nice to me i said well why don't you write about it if you don't have the right guy so i would pick up on it and he said well we're not going to give two thousand words to the new yorker. so you do

talk about there is now a sense with with the internet and everybody competing for the fewer and fewer dollars that i'll get there is a sense of. economic competitiveness too but that's only part of what the real issue is the main thing is the white house controls things in a way that they always do and this white house is just as interested in truly things that when somebody like me comes out you just kick me around and so and it's easy to do because everybody's very eager but you don't get now always get perfectly professional stories representing the view of the ministration but their marketing anybody on the inside is telling them what a different story and so we're stuck we're stuck with the major newspapers reporting pretty much what the administration wants and so when somebody like me goes up against them. it's the same story it happens i distort it's happened every story or done since nine eleven really a good one. walked so why didn't you come out with a piece that says iran is not a threat it's made out to be and you're suddenly considered

a heretic it's not about me it's when was the situation as i said they have an area and a narrative is iran is bad they're making bombs even if we can't find it we know it must be there right they're evil people and so what's the consequence for the american public if they're not aware most american public is right there with twenty four hour cable more interested you know the latest stupid thing some congressman did with the with the internet which is chronic and goes all the time has the united states taken the right course in responding to the so-called arab spring you know we have such a we view everything throughout american prison you know we everything is done and it's to learn that we're like ptolemy who believed it when the sun revolved around us and we didn't worry about that anyway. look if you're an iranian or you in the middle east and you know what's going on in bahrain and you see the white house down once. iran. and criticize the rot at the same time everybody

in iran and everybody in the middle east is watching what's going on of bahrain and we think nothing how do you think that impacts going to be a part or see. for us to believe in not my gulf anymore because we should be betrayed the trust and in the streets of egypt when obama finally came in support of them there was there was somebody you know they were done with us they wanted him to board early and so. we've missed the boat on that those movements were probably the best tools we've had certainly better than the use of force that we've been using the night raids and all that stuff and. you know the renditions and yet he's you know we've got that up so it's a it's a true mess this is ministration it's focused on iran as a source of all the evil iran is helping is it's helping the syrian macomber right to do what it does in syria as if the sunni macabre in syria needs any help from

anybody to get tough you know how to do it and president obama was elected because he was supposed to represent change to chart this country down a different course than the bush administration oh come on come on don't get serious i mean come on so the election we're going to be reelected the only hope a lot of us have is that my second term is such a break out in a second term he'll be anybody he'll be called the lincoln we thought he might be but he's got he's got he's got a you know he's got a real action. you could argue that he knows that getting some of the great but he's going to be elected and the price of oil and jobs and when the oil is this high the economy is tanking to become he's thinking right now because we're being repaying for one after i was sort of oil for gasoline a gallon and so what's his big issue his big issue is he's got it could be the saudis to it's going to make nice to look the other way as they relate people around the middle east and spend their money because he wants to meet girls more of a world is well more important than democracy for president obama well we're gone.

what do you think what's your assessment of the obama administration's handling of the afghanistan war ghastly ghastly d. double minus i mean you know everybody. i'm tell you even the most committed hawk with the exception of general petraeus and other people have to see what they have to say i know nobody who thinks we have any future in afghanistan the faster we get out of there i was talking to somebody be able to be. a very conservative very pro war person and say i just thought of another american life or maybe only we see it in terms of america's not terms of the afghans. and crazy no more it's not worth it not worth one more life and what's going on there is ghastly this ghastly it's it's out of control there's no it's good leadership forward when you have a bunch of boys running around in fear of death you know from a landmine although iraq of course is still unraveling or rough because as we talk

day by day iraq should be probably obama's biggest problem next year and it's going to be a very tough call about whether he stays or goes with the troops and feet if we keep troops there he's got my father thought over in those three more extreme shia going after us and it's going to be bad record on the vietnam war you've reported on conflicts throughout the years throughout the decades what happened to the learning curve a lot. of the need. why there is no learning curve we don't learn from past mistakes we haven't spent your life exposing this but i'm also a realist the fact of the matter is that. that we could go into another country robot which we knew very little with no language and think we could change a society. going into it we think we could do that i mean was there alone it would you know what they'd be like ok we're going to vietnam we went in the good data we could even win that one very well you know that was sort of silly so and. there was

an improvement in the press so i think when ronald reagan went into nicaragua salvadorian there was more criticism so i thought maybe we'd learn something from vietnam but the last ten years or so of the nine eleven. part of it was america want to pay back we're scared but. the reason we you know i would argue that the american press totally failed after nine eleven we became george was bush's cheerleader and his partner instead of looking critically at things and that's happening now to greet mr hurst thank you so much for your time. in one thousand nine hundred two dr ralph brin strip university of pennsylvania said what if i can take the gene responsible for growth in human beings and put it into a mouse. gone all the main risk issues

was at. ninety five percent of all competent scientists in these fields are verkin for the produces side and only five percent are really genuinely independent. there's not a lot of science that says train genic fish is unhealthy for people to consume which is what the food and drug administration looks at there is a lot of concern about the environmental impacts if a transgendered fish escapes what kind of horrible impact will it have on the rest of the fish population don't know what this might do to us or our children or our children's children in our congress here in the united states or our legislatures throughout the world we vote all these different laws tax laws and corporate laws what could be more important than deciding on the eminent genetic future of life on

so a proper celebration was in order but the busy tennis calendar just for. the show was. may have been sort of a thing right now i just. have to i have to enjoy this moment but at the same time i don't have a lot of time because i have to but this winds up by women and so you know but then i just like this i'm a doll has a by the second round of those aegon championships queens the start of the grass court season but we certainly won't be coming up against russia's demitra soon off later in the tournament the former world number twenty crushing at the spain's luciana lopez on day one should have did force a tie break in the first set however was his highlight lopez smashing ace number eighteen proceeding seven six six three. time champion. now arguably the greatest mixed martial artist of all time few dorje million and go

asked to lose some weight before the fight this. ok let's move to cycling were former champion alexander of in a core of the yellow jersey after the opening stage of the critique duffin race a warm up event for the tour de france stage that was won by belgian the other broke his second overall while pass it stands but across came in fourth seven seconds behind but that was enough for the writer to take the early lead russia team had to show writer hakim rodriguez the second fastest on the day ahead of actually and. let's talk more sports were a curse in western russia was the place to be for petrolheads this past weekend the city playing host to the second stage of the domestic touring car championships and it was an action packed house concert seemed to top off reports. the organizers had been implementing new strategy used to make

a serious more popular around russia over the past few years and it seems like they're succeeding as more than ten thousand people flock to the center of course to watch the race condition has already become a tradition and the locals don't seem to be too bothered by the grueling engines well lou drivers enjoying the trek some thought that was fun which is the fact that we're driving here for the fourth consecutive time means we like the venue the track is in the very center of the city and it reminds us of the best in town circuits like monaco all turned turns on main features here they are very challenging and complicated which is unusual for city roads. the domestic championship was established in two thousand and four in future seven races in the season well and poor thirty three or four rushers best driver is huge the streets to compete in four categories and eleven of those cars fail to finish as all eyes were on the top battled in speed deck you are always seeking and it was no surprise

reigning champion mikhail stormed to a. comfortable win in the most prestigious category leaving his opponent beating dust three time rushing champion started from the pool in the first session and didn't let anyone get close while in the second race of began from the sixth place but later i would cost his rivals to clinch me to read. it's been a great race my tactics were right and i managed to fulfil a plan i accelerated in at run a group of cars and later i was just fighting against my opponents one after another. so now tops the overall rankings but soon his crown will be under threat again as the next race will keep call for longer in central russia next month as a mother of our team. values where we have to leave the sport for this hour i'll be back in two hours with more wet weather is coming up then rain is here with all the news.
