face to face with the news makers. culture is that so much as i was about to feel in those eyes you were given a real pleasure in full force fields or was he a great man who made history or was he merely a product of his time opinions differ widely don't know when. live from moscow this is r.t. top stories at this hour the toxic ripples from the fukushima nuclear facility reach beyond the no go zone with radiation levels some eighty kilometers away from the plant exceeding legal limits in all sea and groundwater in the area been found to be contaminated. going to gadhafi pledges that he'll never leave libya as he faces off against a chess grandmaster in the devastated capital of tripoli nato steps up its offensive and declares its expanding operations against libyan government forces.

and sentiment spreads across europe as activists along the government stop ignoring the israeli occupation of the west bank and call for a boycott of goods from illegal settlements. for the moment next it's our exclusive interview for you bringing a firsthand perspective on the new foreign policy. you know you want to rush to regime change has gripped libya and the arab spring has transformed europe's near abroad 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 i don't thank you very much miss ashley you said the core of what you're doing media is to resolve conflict why was the north 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 for the international partners our role has been very much to support him and 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 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 the border managed reform of the police the bone 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 and here are people who despite all of the troubles describe the difficulties the 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. and one of the big challenges and questions is how to make sure that the people of libya the way in which it goes on the assuredness of that departure is a fundamental part of moving forward and that's for them to decide in conjunction as i said with the role of the un special and at what stage will be e.u. expect nato to cease fire in libya well not so 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. the role of the forces of nature is determined by the security council resolution and the job is to protect civilians so until there is clear determining ivans of civilians i say they will have to stay there and once again tied up with kind of gadhafi and his decision to allow his country to move forward in the way that clear people want the european council certainly the russian presidential meditator to leave is a focal point for a political transition there what status does the e.u. court mr martin went well what we've been saying to president medvedev and form and so 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 for 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'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 engage it's very good to see that in the age of trying to help to get as you said you consider an aid for to live together as an inappropriate response to the plight of the people there what is and appropriate response in your opinion. consistent in saying what needs to happen is that the israelis need to open the borders with gulzar and the love people and goods to the feeling 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 dollars so lots of small businesses you know that could really do well and lots of people who want you all and eighty percent of people in gaza and seafood and 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 where girls are could actually sell and support its own economy but the israeli settlement building continues in the west bank despite the position of the european union what more can be done well we're concerned about 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 parts talks importance of the course hatching which russia plays a big part of the hope of a meeting soon to try and lay some of the ground work that would enable the parties to come back to talks because in the end that's going to be the solution mr ashton you were in belgrade when iraq was arrested and shortly before that he announced an abstract billion euro was available for partners under the neighborhood called the see what that a coincidence you were in belgrade when it 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 was very keen to try and find a lot it should see just as. i think that the expectation they were finding on that particular day. it was not it was not there it was good to be that it was good to be able to congratulate the service origins and to see how people reacted to that across the world of being a real indication of closure but also saying that no matter how long it takes justice will be done and the palm mantra soundly of the council of europe pasta reports finding that the course of own leadership is a mafia involved in we're going to harvesting what you propose to ensure that justice is done in kosovo well you know i went from belgrade to pristina 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 the troops and to make sure again that justice is not so in both directions if allegations are not real they need to be seen 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 arms they have three thousand four hundred kilograms of low enriched uranium which doesn't have much purpose if you're not going to use it in that way they say they're not the proof of it is 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 probably with inspectors that there is a lot of evidence of what the. doing. that fear leads to people. to make sure that we put the pressure on to resolve it so it's not one of the other it's the facts lead to genuine concern what moss do wrong to silence doubts about it sometimes since 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 use ops then we have to think about the pressure i describe it like this if you sign up to an agreement which they have. i'm sure we have many countries hard then you become the

guardians of the trickery and if those who sign up to it. you have a responsibility to act and to act together and that's why the twin track approach all of keeping the pressure out of taking sanctions being very clear 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 these issues in very practical way those two those two approaches sorry essential need to what together and i really do hope that iran will take seriously what we've put on the table and come out to the talks session thank you for taking time for this interview we very much appreciate pleasure.
