mahmoud ahmadinejad's voice is a position to the u.n. and nato military operation in libya describes the western invasion as a big mistake and he also points out that iran will never develop nuclear weapons as they belong to the past the president shared his views exclusively with us he's covering. the president not going to thank you so much for taking the time out of your busy show jewel to be on r.t. international tonight i'll start if i may with the story that made all the news headlines for the past six months that's unfolded in north africa in the middle east that's been dubbed the arab spring what are your views on the arab spring and we've spoken about it before but i just want to hear your latest thoughts do you think it's a popular uprising for the better to bring democracy or you think it's something maybe there's been orchestrated from abroad over to use or. do a lot of the entire global community is dissatisfied with the current state of the world there are many class distinctions there are pressures there are conflicts armed conflicts and a large number of nations in the world are being humiliated constantly today

justice and dignity around the requirements of all human beings north africa has the same aspirations and i think in our region we have the ability to run our own countries and to reach their goals and objectives it's important to take note of the interference by neato in the region nato has interfered in the affairs of libya the security council has made a mistake instead of sending bombs and planes to libya they should have sent mediation groups in order to prepare for free elections under the auspices of the un and whoever won the elections would be acceptable for the people but the security council he still issued a resolution and it has complicated the situation that has led to the killings and the massacre of people and destruction of the infrastructure in the country do you think around needs to liberalize do you think you should introduce more political reforms to maybe head off something similar happening in this country as well at some point in the future does it worry you at all when i think the entire world needs more freedom and more than everybody else in the world europeans and americans need. freedom in europe is there really freedom is there real freedom in

the united states they're beating people in the streets only recently iran announced that you've stepped up production of new centrifuges faster better centrifuges to make better higher quality raney and i know you said all the world long line of rand does not want nuclear weapons ran is a peaceful country but of course a lot of people in the west 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 that some countries have nuclear weapons if we're going to be against nuclear weapons we must rise in opposition to current nuclear arsenals there are now a lot of atomic arsenals in belgium in germany and in other european countries let me just get this straight are you saying that in some point in the future you may want to acquire a nuclear deterrent a nuclear weapon. and never never we don't want nuclear weapons we don't seek

nuclear weapons this is an inhuman weapon nuclear weapons have no capability today if any country tries to build a nuclear bomb in fact they waste their money and resources and they create great danger for themselves international equations are not determined by nuclear arsenals today the americans have nuclear bombs and nuclear weapons and could they win in iraq and afghanistan could nuclear weapons help the israelis gain victory in lebanon and gaza could nuclear weapons keep the former soviet union from collapse nuclear weapons are the weapons of the last century this is the century of knowledge and thinking the century of human beings the century of culture and logic nuclear weapons are not going to be a determining force in the world it's about the power of people not nuclear weapons our goal in the country and the goal of our people is peace for all nuclear energy for all and nuclear weapons for non nuclear activities in iran are monitored by the i.a.e.a. there have been no documents against iran in the agency it's just

a claim by the us that we are after nuclear weapons. and you can see that exclusive interview with mahmoud ahmadinejad the president of iran and for now website. well we are now for the fourth weekend in a row turns of thousands of israelis have taken to the streets demonstrating for social justice across eighteen citizen ation why they're demanding cheaper housing more access to education and for social inequality to be addressed and according to the new york times ten of the biggest family owned business groups in the country control some thirty percent of the economy in less than a month the movement of calling on the government to improve the situation has grown from a few terrorists in tel aviv to a nationwide phenomenon and prime minister netanyahu has appointed a special committee to address the people's demands and attempts to quell the situation protest leader have so far rejected all proposals and called for a million strong march in fifty cities on the third of september but as artie's policy of reports there are some of the jewish state her left out of the movement

as they fight and much tougher battle. the protest might be next door to a film on lives but it's going to make little difference to his life he's a refugee from eritrea 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 group favorite heads let alone an expensive one but it's not only cheaper howells's that these protesters want they're demanding a new government wonderful charge less taxes provide free education and cancel privatization of state owned companies changes that the poorest neighborhoods of tel aviv need the most but i want to please people here are not demonstrating while thousands of israelis might be able to pitch up here in protest many immigrants

can't even afford to buy a tent to live in people. not sleeping here and necessarily every night but it's a sign bill it's that the tents here are signed up for for the difficulty to pay rent for the economic situation. and like you say next to us 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 haven't lived 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 with spoken to say that they don't feel a part of this demonstration and accuse it of being a protest of the privileged danny parrot's is really he's a builder divorced and jobless he's here because he blames the government for the fact that he can't pay his bills but he also points

a finger at the african migrants or. if i want to find something ok it's a charge the africans are all too familiar with this place we're searching is a place where very often. stream right wing organizes the rallies against jews saw. the see what people are sitting. there 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 right for the rights of the refugee here in israel. but for now the rights of the refugees are the last thing on these protesters minds

they just want a better life for themselves poorly c r t tel aviv. and you can find out previous reports from the tent city on our website and also now to his facebook page and follow policy as tweets from israel on our twitter feed. they recent where west street unrest in the u.k. led to mutual recrimination between police and politicians as they each seek to lay blame for inadequate response to the violence on the other the chaos erupted last

saturday and it only took a few days for the disturbance to spread across the country the british guiana david cameron expressed serious discontent with the police calling their response at the outset of violence timid and inadequate pointing to initial tactics and police numbers police authorities didn't hesitate to try and find and blamed politicians for not offering enough assistance labeling their return from summer vacations as a lame gesture of help of course are overwhelmed with processing hundreds of alleged rioters and extra police units are expected to remain on the streets until at least next week the drama leads people around the world wondering if the streets of their own home town as well always be safe lori hottest also known as the resident try to find out if new york is good for see their city shaken by violence in the future. is your neighborhood next this week let's talk about bad it's. inhumane barbaric

and i think unfortunately around the country we have situations where people are disappear. entered with leadership in various parts of the world and they are 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 unrest here in the states but i could totally see it happening i think because in taiwan most people have very. fine life so they don't want to have this kind of thing happen but if they were angry enough about what was going on do you think that would push them to the limit. yes yes sometimes like a lot election times people are going crazy but not to the far like the looting is so horrible and the tries but there were demonstrations in creation but they were peaceful day with the burn the flag you know but they wouldn't break even though and steal from the store you know so why are these british people doing that right

now. it's always you know some people started for political reason then that leaves around that break and still you know that's that's what happens and 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 had hard luck they said i've got hard luck whereas now everybody expects everything behind them on the plate you know so if you go back in history and look at the eight hundred for example you'll see many of the same comments and there is papers published in that era now 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 looting can happen in your city and the bottom line is the rise of social media and the growing disparity between social classes could be a recipe for violence anywhere. the us has lost his treasure aaa credit rating ultra done great last week by the agency
