2:03 pm
and a lot of the film is the destiny of human beings in this great ground for the next year this month the month of passion around kindness and i hope in this month our human beings. cry and leave behavior to each other and they will enjoy the royal blessings if you ask a very important questions we have seen very important developments in our region in north africa there are a few important things we must pay attention to and it's not only about other peoples in the region the entire wall is not satisfied with the current status in the world there are class distinctions there are rationals there are conflicts arms conflicts and a large number of nations in the world are the. all the time today justice
2:04 pm
dignity but among the requirements of all human beings are all the nations who are seeking to gain justice and dignity and nations in our region and in north africa africa have the same aspirations and i think the nations in north africa in our region have the ability to run their own countries and they have the ability to reach their goals and objectives that is important to be taken out of the interference of nato in the region and nato has interfered in the affairs of libya the security council has made a mistake instead of sending arms and trains to libya they should have sent mediation groups in order to prepare for
2:05 pm
a free elections with the pieces of the united nations and whoever won the elections would be acceptable to the people but the security council hastily issued a resolution and it has a complicated situation that has left the lens and massacre of cipro and destruction of the in frasse to us shows in the country can you highlight for me why you've had slightly different approaches to for instance the unrest in syria what's going on in egypt at the time just before you go. quoting it urged people to continue their protests to free themselves and choose their own leaders in their own form of government but can't that happen in syria as well what's the difference . it's not only about us it's not only iran that has a different view there are many countries that have a different values for example the united states and europe have different
2:06 pm
attitudes towards the decision. what has been going on in libya in bahrain and syria there there are different positions and this is because of what a lot of been of the region all equal way sions and the kind of bad if you were taken by the outside powers next subject like to talk about. the nuclear subject you're always having to answer about it i don't like to ask you again if i may only recently iran announced that you've stepped up production of new centrifuges faster better since if you choose to make better higher quality. the question mark is why i know you said all the world on the line of iran does not want nuclear weapons run as a peaceful country but of course a lot of people in the west don't believe that they do feel that there's not enough transparency do you think this country you should be doing more to make it more transparent. we don't like either other countries or you
2:07 pm
have a lot of your sweat for the for every one of your syllabi are going who are you against the nuclear weapons we must rise in opposition to the current. arsenals. there are a lot of. family costs and roles in belgium in germany and in other european countries let me just get this straight are you saying that at some point in the future you may want to acquire a nuclear deterrent a nuclear weapon. that was never never. no clue your weapon is normal capable of doing something because we do not want a nuclear weapons reason i see you no clear weapons this is an inhuman weapon by the way because of our belief we are against. our religion says it is prohibited. we are religious because. the second because you
2:08 pm
know clear weapon is as no. capability to the. police if any country through ice to move build a nuclear bomb. they have. wasted their money and resources and second they have created big danger for themselves more than i think john but for examples of the international equalizations are now are not to turn him into the by nuclear arsenals. it's about the wave of human beings. because neither the americans have nuclear bombs and nuclear weapons. or because. they win in iraq war in afghanistan. well you. should look as if you can't the nuclear weapons could the nuclear weapons help the
2:09 pm
israelis to gain the zionist regime to gain a victory in lebanon and in gaza has. he been pushing could the nuclear weapons help the former soviet union from being collapse. the nuclear weapons is the issue of the for the previous century. this century is the century of knowledge and ten think it is the century of human beings. this is the century of culture and logic. as you know clearly the weapon is not going to be determinative perforce in the world it is about the power of people not nuclear weapons. i mean why i should say that our goal in the country and the goal of our people our slogan is peaceful.
2:10 pm
nuclear energy. and nuclear weapons for. this is our goal and. our activities are managed war why the. players and all activities nuclear activities in iran are being france was not involved by the agencies cameras there hasn't been any document against iran in the agency because they just claim it is a claim by the united states. and you can watch the exclusive interview with the president of iran mahmoud ahmadinejad's in full a web site that's r.t. dot com. other news now leaders of social protests in israel are calling for people to bolster demonstrations across the country over the last month up to three hundred thousand people in tel aviv have been demanding cheaper housing and social justice resorted paullus the reports there are old siders in the jewish state
2:11 pm
fighting a much tougher battle. the protest might be next door to a film our lives but it's going to make little difference to his life he's a refugee from every tree or one of thousands who has found his way to israel but the solace he was hoping for has instead been replaced by anger and frustration at a government he believes is doing too little to help him. israelis here demand cheaper housing is good for them at least they have houses but we have nothing we haven't even got a roof over our heads let alone an expensive one but it's not only cheaper houses that these protesters want they're demanding a new government one that will charge less taxes provide free education and cancel privatization of state owned companies changes that the poorest neighborhoods of tel aviv needed most but ironically people here are not tim and straighten the thousands of israelis might be able to pitch up here in protest many immigrants
2:12 pm
can't even afford to buy a tent to live in people are not sleeping here and this is every night at this time it's a bit tense here hours for afraid that if you've got the. economic that situation. like you say next people are sleeping there not because they choose to put their tent outside it is just because they don't have any other place to go in the last few years tens of thousands of refugees and asylum seekers have revived in israel mostly from in the tree and sudan the government simply doesn't know what to do with him most spend their days struggling to make ends meet while trying not to be picked up by the deportation police many of the refugees don't want to appear on camera but those spoken to say that they don't feel a part of this demonstration and accuse it of being a protest of the privileged danny parents is really is a builder divorced and jobless he's here because he blames the government for the
2:13 pm
fact that he can't pay his bills but he also points a finger at the african migrants. if i want to find something i guess it's a charge the africans are all too familiar with this place which fitting is a place where very often. extreme right wing organizes the rallies against the right food is soul when. it is a see white people are sitting. in they they they feel that they don't belong to that place which means that a protest for social justice has essentially become a protest for only a few. if you really want to come out for better rights you have to come out for the basic rights for the rights of the refugee here in israel right here.
2:14 pm
but for now the rights of the refugees are the last thing on these protestors minds they just want a better life for themselves policy r t tel aviv and israel is expecting more demonstrations this saturday night and will be covering those events for you here in r.t. you can find our previous reports from the tent city on our website also on artie's facebook page and you can follow paula's tweets from israel on our twitter feed. in the. recent street violence in the u.k. has police and politicians divided over the way the unrest was handled they can
2:15 pm
started last saturday in london and spread across the country over the following four days so far just over a third of the sixteen hundred people arrested have been charged prime minister david cameron was critical over the initial tactics police used to quell the rampant rioting and looting and senior officers hit back saying politicians were no help against the disorder and that that return from summer holidays made no difference courts are working overnight to deal with alleged offenders and hundreds of extra police are expected to remain on the streets until at least next week cameron has now turned to a former prominent us police chief for advice on handling gang violence jeremy corbin from the u.k. labor party says there's a whole list of measures currently on the table which will only make a bad situation worse. there is an increasing impoverishment of poor young people particularly the pigs cities of this country and it's a very uncomfortable lest know a lot of politicians but something's got to be done and fast to bring these people these young people back into the mainstream of society there's
2:16 pm
a very unpleasant agenda surrounding this which david cameron in part is promoting while is that could have social media such as twitter and facebook the other is eviction of whole families from homes because one member of the family has been charged convicted of an offense to do with the events of the past week and then you suggest the brazilian water can only suggest the previous army on the street all kinds of pre-columbian measures and we have to listen and try and understand not the principles of those people the stealing simply for themselves but the danger to all of us of the very large number of young people who don't feel any any problem with getting involved because they don't feel they have any stake in society as a whole and that is a very dangerous thing that we've got to learn lessons from repression won't solve it repression will make it worse censorship won't solve it will make it worse. well the blame game is in full swing between those responsible for dealing with the
2:17 pm
unrest people all around the world wondering if the same could happen in their country and here are some of the opinions nori hoffman is otherwise known as the president on the streets of the big apple. is your neighborhood next to speak let's talk about that it's. inhumane and barbaric and i think that unfortunately around the country we have situations where people are disappointed with leadership in various parts of the world and they're rising up and trying to do something about it whether you're in the middle east in europe you know fortunately we haven't had that type of the unrest here in the states but i could totally see it happening i think because in taiwan most people have very. light you find life they don't want to have this kind of thing happen but if they were angry enough that what was going on do you think that would push them to the limit. thanks yes yes sometimes like in the election times he was going
2:18 pm
crazy but not to their far like the looting is so horrible. but they were going on stations in creation but they have a peaceful day with the burn the flag you know but they wouldn't the break of indolence feel from the story so why are these british people doing that right now i think it's always you know some people started for political reason then that peace around the break and still you know that's that's what happens you know in the old days people when they came on hard times just worked a bit harder try to be harder and you know sort of if they're harder to sort of got hard look whereas now everybody expects several hundred of them on the plate you know so if you go back in history and look at the hundred for example you'll see many of the same comments in newspapers published in that era with the stream of history running the same course. so what can we do to change it if anything. not a damn thing whether or not you think the drinking happening yesterday at the bottom
