bank and call for a boycott of goods to be sent. back with a recap of the main news stories for in about fifteen minutes from our exclusive interview with the. bring you a firsthand perspective on foreign policy that's next on r.t. . you know you want to rush to regime change has gripped libya and the arab spring has transformed europe's near where brought the e.u.'s foreign policy faces challenges as perhaps never before to talk more on these challenges we are joined by the high representative for foreign affairs and security policy in the european union catherine ashton hello and thank you very much mr ashley you said the heart of what you're doing maybe it is to resolve conflict why was the e.u. not asked to mediate in libya well i think the u.n.

is playing exactly the role that it should play and. the u.n. special envoy is as you know frequently in tripoli and benghazi is working with the people of libya but also with the national partners role has been very much to support him to work with the african union with the arab league with the organization of islamic conference and with our partners like russia and turkey to think about how we move forward and conflict and some people start to think about the country of the future on a visit to bin guys in may you said that you had much people who would be leading into the future what gives you the ground to say that what i said was that people who clearly had a heart the future of libya people who were thinking about the kind of work that needs to be done reconstruction getting the economy moving again the support they're going to be on board of management reform of the police to be people who will be part of the big dialogue that used to take place what the new government of

libya looks like it's for the people of libya to decide but here are people who despite all of the troubles despite the difficulties are really trying to think through and i pay tribute to them for doing the search and they have been discussions about the possibility that gadhafi could go but it's an if it's a larger. one of the big challenges and questions is how to make sure that for the people of libya the way in which it goes and is sure of departure is a fundamental part of moving forward that's for them to decide in conjunction as i said with the role of the u.n. special envoy at what stage will be you expect nato to cease fire in libya well nato has been in discussion of course about its future role and i was at nato this week to discuss the role of the european union in our humanitarian aid in our support for the people on the ground and in opening the office which i did recently

in bengal. the role of the forces of nato is determined by the security council resolution and the job is to protect civilians so until there is clear determining evidence the civilians are safe they will have to stay there and that's again tied up to what happens with kind of gadhafi and his decision to allow his country to move forward in the way that clear the people want the european council said that the russian presidential medal is a focal point for a political transition there what status does the e.u. court mr maher gallop well what we've been saying to president medvedev and form and love for office is so important that russia is able to play its part in trying to find a solution so the role of the mediator from russia is to work alongside others who are busy trying to find a way through i think the significant element of this is making sure that it's also linked back to the u.n.

so we have confidence in our communications between different people but it's very good to see russia engages very good to see have been d.h. are trying to help to get as you said you consider an aid for to work together as an inappropriate response to the plight of the people there what is an appropriate response in your opinion where very. consistent in saying what needs to happen is that the israelis need to open the borders with guards or the love people and goods to move freely now i recognize the importance of the security situation for israel we've always done that but it seems to me a position that's not tenable you have the inability to get the economy moving and one of the things i've been saying to the israelis for some time is it's in their interest to see economic growth and development today also lots of small businesses you know that could really do well lots of people want your own eighty percent of people in gaza received today so many young people who don't have

a future and part of the answer to that part of making sure that we have security is given a lot future and that means allowing in and out the products the goods were girls that could actually sell and support its own economy but these really settlement building continues in the west bank despite the position of the european union what more can be done well we're concerned about that we've always said that settlements are illegal under international law we've made that clear we do believe that we have to try and get back to talks same points of the courts hatching which russia plays a big part of the hope of a meeting soon to try and lay some of the groundwork that would enable the parties come to come back to talks because in the end that's going to be the solution miss ashton you were in belgrade when roskam luggage was arrested and shortly before that you announced an extra billion euro was available for partners under the neighborhood policy what that a coincidence you were in belgrade when i was arrested yes it was

a coincidence i had the privilege of talking with. the president and with the deputy prime minister and those engaged in the action although i never doubted the president thought it was very keen to try and find a lot it should see just as. i think that the expectation they would find on that particular day. i was not was not there it was good to be that it was good to be able to congratulate the storage is and to see how people reacted to that across the world of being a real indication of closure but also of seeing that no matter how long it takes justice will be done and the palm trees soundly i'll be council of europe pasta report finding that the course of an leadership is a mafia involved in or going to harvesting what you propose to ensure that justice is done in kosovo well you know i went from belgrade to persist and i met with prime minister touchy and what we've been clear about is that if allegations are

made they must be answered it's in the interests of everyone to get to the truce and to make sure again that justice is nuts in both directions if allegations are not real they need to be seen to be so so we hope that we will see an investigation very soon that will determine the truth of this and if need be will bring people to justice now as we european foreign policy chief you have shared nuclear talks with iran twice do you believe that iran is building a military nuclear program well the indications from the program that they have that they are building towards that they have three thousand four hundred kilograms of low enriched uranium which doesn't have much purpose so if you're not going to use it in that way they say they're not the proof of it it's very simple if the international atomic energy authority inspectors are allowed to go in and to do their job properly they can tell us the answer but iran does not comply with that

and that of course leads to the suspicions does fear not facts dictate policy towards iran. i think the fear that people have is based on the facts and the fact that iran does not comply promptly with inspectors that there is a lot of evidence of what they. doing. that fear leads to people wanting to make sure that we put the pressure on to resolve it so it's not one of the other it's false the facts lead us to have that genuine concern what do moss do wrong to silence doubts about it sometimes we've made this very clear to them in the days of talks that if what they're saying is true then they can prove it and they can prove it in a way that does nothing other than credit to them if they don't do that then we have to think about the pressure i describe it like this if you sign up to an agreement which they have. and we have many countries then you become the guardians

of the agree and if those who sign up to it fail to abide by it you have a responsibility to act and to act together and that's why the twin track approach of keeping the pressure of taking sanctions being very clear that those sanctions are designed to make the regime realise that the international community believes they have a responsibility and then to link it to the dialogue which we hope will resolve the issues in very practical ways those two those two approaches are essential need to what together and i really do hope that iran will take seriously what we've put on the table at the top of the session thank you for taking time for this interview we very much appreciate pleasure.

say that i have to accept that. very well got. the job. people now in the dallas mavericks have won their first n.b.a. title after a one hundred five points to a ninety five victory over the miami heat two in their best of seven final series four two it was sweet revenge of miami over expounds after seeing the heat win their first title in dallas five years ago this time god jason terry scored twenty seven points and it's me added twenty one for the lab ricks to be named the finals most valuable player the german averaged twenty six points per game in the series always exciting in the final stages and they scored ten of twenty one points in the final quarter snuff anyway i mean hopes of a comeback and fulfill a personal dream. if you're in this league for thirteen years and just battling for the playoffs in the last basically ten years eleven years. and always come along

come up a little short and. that's why this this is extra special you know if if i would have won one early in my career you know maybe i would have never put all the work in that time in that i have all the last thirty years so just this feels amazing. it's one one in the russian basketball player finals up to take up bounce back from there i play in defeat to be kinky sixty five fifty seven on sunday shooting god trajan langdon scored thirteen points in the last game in court for the army men for the series moves to the moscow region for game three on wednesday. wells where russian olympic figure skating champion yevgeny plushenko has been cleared to compete at the next games in his home country in twenty fourteen the international skating union decided to reinstate his amateur status which would allow the twenty eight year old to take part in sochi the i.s.u. had removed this last year after the russian had failed to turn up at the world championships claiming he was injured only to skate in exhibitions shortly

afterwards that the skating union is permission to shrink a. says it will be an honor to go for gold for russia on home ice. however it was a disappointing weekend for russia's olympic pentathlon child can andrei moisey if he finished eighth at the inaugural kremlin cup which was won by czech david spada but there were reasons for the russian team to be happy as reports. russian men have plenty to boast about when it comes to olympic pentathlon events starting with the sydney two thousand games the country is yet to relinquish the summit's of the podium and de maurice if will be hoping for gold number three of the upcoming games in london but the next generation has already breathing down his neck at eighteen years of age sugar of his already making waves for the national team the youngster who made his senior debut at this first ever crammed in cup one the fencing event and followed up with a great performance both in the pool and in the show jumping arena and that

elevated him to fourth overall before the combined running and shooting events where he encountered some difficulty with a newly introduced laser gun finishing in one lot of analysis i like it here with the seniors and loved everything today except for the shooting i just can't get it right but i won the fencing tournament today and that's great. since i'm going to take champion and de maurice a finished in eighth place that poor result could be attributed to a recent rule change that so air pistols are replaced with laser guns plus running and shooting events have been combined into one making it look more like a summer biathlon adjusting could take some time for the champ but the twenty ten world championship runner up alexandre list soon looks set to dominate in the near future the russian taking second place and the silver in the kremlin cup. despite this second place i'm very happy with my performance because david svoboda is the real star of the combined event i have to admit that we weren't prepared as

well as the other half lives because our main completion of the european championship was to a head. so let's recap czech david swoboda the winner of the first ever coming cup rushes alexandre listen in second with third and fourth place is going the way of the hungaroring athletes the london olympics are just a year away and that mean. nations wanting to qualify will have to work hard right now some will be able to get the coveted licenses for that's what it's called games at the upcoming european championship remark koester of r.c. moscow to football now in russia captain and there are seven says his national team must improve their performances if they want to qualify for euro twenty twelve they also midfielder was speaking at a charity event in siberia following last week's friendly in austria where russia drew nil nil with cameroon. everyone wants to qualify for europe twenty twelve first all the players do and of course our fans because ukraine and poland

a close to russia and we work hard to achieve this but let's wait until september and october frankly we're not playing at our best at the moment but we're still among the leaders of the group tough questions with mr dorney island and slow where gary head and the fate of a blaze at the european finals will be decided in these matches. well saying in russian and after signing brazil legend roberto carlos russian premier league side energy have not brought in hungary win yet but i sure jack twenty four year old left sided midfielder joins with a dutch giants p.s.v. eindhoven and a four year deal for an undisclosed sum thought to be around ten million euros i currently second in the league checks forty four times in one hundred fourteen appearances for p.s.p. and this was a rare miss. welfare former england manager steve mcclaren is heading back home the fifty year old is taking up the reins at second to nothing in forest after a successful time but so twenty in the netherlands and

a less than successful about hospital journey the three year forest deal was confirmed just a day after the championship club dismissed coach billy davis apparently famously sacked as england boss four years ago after his side failed to qualify for euro two thousand and eight. for we are now adults aren't jenson button came from last place to put red bull sebastian vettel on the final lap to win his first race. the season at a dramatic rain affected grand prix in montreal downpours had left water all over the track but rode his luck on lap eight he clashed with teammate lewis hamilton who was forced to retire and then after a drive through penalty button was near the back of the field went to wrench rain fell in love twenty five and that stopped the race for over two hours and when he resumed button was involved in another collision this time one pick in two and under long as i use for our response and then on the final lap sebastian vettel started on pole lost control of his call for just a moment button pass to win the first time this season bettles red bull team mate

mark webber completing the podium. eventually on the last lap was chasing down serve he run a little bit wide on to the work part of the circuit and i was able to take the opportunity in and say go for me you're a fantastic growth from i think even if i hadn't won today i would have enjoyed this race immensely book amazing win and possibly my best. golf now and american harrison fraser has won his maiden p.g.a. tour title at the st jude classic after beating robert calls in a dramatic playoff in memphis sweet karlsson did start the day with a one shot lead but it was nip and tuck between him and fraser and calls and had to save par on the last hole to make sure it went to a play off after that they needed three extra holes to settle it is that tapped into paul and that meant carlsen just think he's gonna get to send it to another hole but he missed handing fraser his first title in three hundred fifty five
