during our war with iraq saddam's regime used chemical weapons against iran but we did not respond in kind and surrounds policies based on shari'a law which forbids us from producing storing or using nuclear weapons at least the foundation for our constitution of our policies and their views. the west has insisted on establishing control over your in human richmond in iran while iran remains reluctant colon can this situation continue. everybody should realize that iran has reached a point in its nuclear research where it is impossible to stop or go back since the reigning nuclear technology has gone beyond up point nuclear technologies have developed into a domestic industry in iran spreading all across the country and becoming a fact of life for many arrhenius now that we have educated and trained thousands of nuclear scientists how can the west or the entire world stop us from enriching uranium this is become a fight to preallocate us for how the situation is going to develop that is normal

in that discussion dialogue and negotiation we see it as a test for ourselves for our patients and insurance throughout our history we have managed to prove to the world that iran does not give up in the face of suppression and is still a t. no threats new pressure can shake our sovereignty and independence we are ready to pay any price and withstand anything let the west come and see whether iran has backed off in the face of pressure and sanctions or moved further on they will see with their own eyes that iran has moved ahead a great deal that is no point in being enemies with iran which i tell them that the more they threaten and pushes the more determined we become to move on. when is a nuclear power plant in bushehr going to reach capacity that will ship us for a share all works there were over when vapor was supplied to the reactor core and the turbine began operation all these stages are passing well this ill as me to see that the station will begin operation in test mode it will generate electricity and

disputed by national power grids as for the station itself everything is complete and i don't see any problems with regards to its operation iran is using its own experience to develop the reactor which is planning to launch in the next three or four years this reactor can generate forty five megawatts. what decision did you make following russia's proposal to settle the nuclear dossier issue what are the main provisions of this proposal what do you think about . first of all i would like to thank russia for its constructive efforts aimed at finding a settlement to iran's nuclear program as far as we are concerned we consider this proposal to be a step forward for breaking the deadlock that's why we view russia's proposal as a positive step however while iran seeks a new initiative to settle its nuclear problem the west continues claims that iran is producing missiles capable of carrying nuclear warheads this kind of behavior

convinces us that the west does not want a fair solution that it wants to iran to succumb to western influence and obey its orders that iran is ready for negotiation and cooperation with any parties in accordance with a rules based on a new initiative to be put forward. what was moscow's rationale for supporting around on its nuclear question what common interests are there between russia and iran but we need. to see him petting him so you know clearly russia is a very important neighbor of iran and in my opinion iran is a more significant neighbor for russia is a reality that history confirms looking back would realize that the u.s. used all its ways and means in its attempts to dismantle the soviet union but today russia is a strong country in the international arena from political economic and military viewpoints and since the u.s. wants to consolidate its dominance in the world it intends to tie the hands of or

defeat its only military rival russia therefore it has expanded needers suite of influence in order to approach russia's borders why they want to exert pressure in russia because there are no other countries around russia's borders syria iran that would be defiant to the west establishing western rule over iran would solve this problem for them this would allow the neato to encircle russia completely let us try and imagine what would happen over and were to fall back into western influence in this instance and nato would completely surround russia therefore iran is vitally important for russia and they scarcely i would. that russia and iran need each other but russia may be concerned that iran can return under the western influence i want to tell our russian friends this will not happen i am very optimistic about the prospects of russia iran relations and the future will prove me right. does iran believe that moscow support will continue particularly with regard to iran's nuclear profile. we are convinced that russia will keep supporting

iran's position we have no worries about. what can you say regarding the us relations does iran intend to resume. we have stated time and again that iran wants to have good reasonable relations with all countries except for the zionist state as for their relations with washington they will depend upon us actions towards iran if they remain hostile there will be no relations full stop however if washington changes r.t. to toward iran and replace this is still a he with a sense of equality respect for iran's sovereignty and independence than the essence of our relations will chines unfortunately there is no evidence that the u.s. is ready to put an end to his enmity against iran america's actions in its wars against afghanistan and iraq speak for themselves innocent civilians are being killed in most countries certainly what i am seeing does not apply to the american people will respect the people of america and the american public for their enormous

contribution to global industrial and technological development therefore i address my words the u.s. government and i believe that its policies and reasonable and based on the logic of force this is absolutely unacceptable to iran mother let's take a look at what's going on in syria how is the situation in syria different from that in you around. i mean it that. as far as syria's concerned we should carry out an accurate and reasonable analysis of what has been happening in that country iran supports any mass revolutionary action as long as the pursue legitimate demands as was the case in tunisia egypt yemen or any other country but only on condition the such protest activity should be free of foreign interference iran does not tolerate meddling in other countries internal affairs with regard to its own foreign policies and we maintain the same approach of these of the other players if there are mass protests in syria and

their demands are legitimate we will stand by them but when we see the deliberate misrepresentation of the syrian people's demands they external forces that is unacceptable and iran and flatly condemn such action but we see here is a clear picture of foreign involvement serving colonialist interests the present government of serbia and particularly president assad had pledged to ensure the citizens' rights and they have delivered on a lot of their promises syria is currently in the middle of crucial political and economic reforms that are yet to be evaluated i believe that with wise leadership from bashar al assad syria will eventually come out of this trial even stronger and will regain its stability and prosperity syria plays a very important role in the region it has significant influence in the middle east being at the forefront of resistance against the zionist state and the pressure currently exerted on syria is directly related to this country's role in such resistance you can be sure that if syria were to manifestly give up this rule the

pressure and the sanctions against it would cease immediately but i am sure that syria will make it through this difficult period and preserve its position in the region washington has accused iran of sending a special squad to help suppress the process in syria what is your response to such a claim washington how about how. washington blames iran and islamic general for every. thing that is happening in the world the u.s. behaves as an aggressive and build engine power and it seeks to condemn any nation that opposes it believing all the current crises and tribulations and such nations there for iran peace on the attention to the accusations coming from washington. the palestinians are currently intending to persuade the international community to recognize the postilion state in its nine hundred sixty seven borders is iran's attitude towards this issue do you support the palestinians and their policies.

we are convinced that the whole of the palestinian land belongs to all palestinians and we will not accept anything that would involve a mere part of palestine we will only accept a single and and divided palestine in iran's opinion palestine belongs to the palestinians regardless of whether they are muslims christians or jews did therefore we welcome and support any measures aimed at bringing about a palestine for all palestinians. what is a current progress in restoring relations between turkey and cairo. we have had successful negotiations with a number of egyptian politicians egypt confirmed that they are willing to restore relations with us tehran considers these statements to be a testimony of good will and we want the same i expect our relations with egypt to return to normal soon by way of exchanging embassadors and reestablishing diplomatic missions in our respective capitals.

tonight on our team belgium the breakup blues reconcilable differences between the country's two hobs see the south strive to become a region of france raising concern that separation could spread and shatter the e.u. . fresh violence erupts in the land that's already separated the disputed border area between serbia and kosovo the un security council is holding an emergency closed meeting about that right now. and spy plans the u.s. says it won't stop its reconnaissance flights near china despite beijing's outrage over the violation of chinese sovereignty.

welcome this is r.t. international it's eleven pm thursday night here in moscow my name is kevin owen and first belgium may be an international by word for unity with its nato do you had quarters but it faces a messy breakup of its own right now with an irreparable north south divide and as daniel bushell explains the split that's tearing the country into could echo throughout europe. some weight to their divorce before planning their next marriage but not well known near the southern region of belgium the country's been with belts effective government for a record fourteen months free speech in the self's and flemish speaking flanders in the north disagree on pretty much everything many analysts think the most likely

outcome will see the country break into as soon as it splits with flanders is complete the world will look to hook up with france for richer or poorer but mainly for richer going it alone when your small region is clearly not appealing they say political clout is important the main appeal is money. as part of france in everything but name that we have the same language we watch french t.v. no belgian but above all our economy is controlled by french firms. poll suggests that whole foods and sixty percent of the french want to become one presidential front runner marine le pen last week said she would wear the southern half of belgium with france president sarkozy's ruling party and the opposition are already in talks to tie the knot we have contacts with other parties with you m.p. and we have contacted the socialist it has been confirmed to us that's in.
