thanks for joining us mediators no bombs iran's president mahmoud ahmadinejad voices opposition does a un and nato military operation in libya and describes the west invasion as a big mistake hell so points out that iran will never develop nuclear weapons as they belong to the past the president shared his exclusively with our. present 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 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. at the letter or the entire global community is dissatisfied with the current state in the world there are many class distinctions there are pressures there are conflicts armed conflicts

but a large number of nations in the world are being humiliated constantly today justice and dignity are among 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 nato 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 of 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 there 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 you raney and i know you said all the world long line ran 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 yes. 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 right now a lot of atomic arsenals in belgium in germany and in other european countries we 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 we shall 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 none 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. the president of iran and for now website that's r.t. dot com. the streets of a zero cities have played host to thousands who rallied each weekend since mid july it's a vast protest across the entire country campaigning for social justice cheaper housing better access to education and measures to overcount social inequality are among the key demands protesters in our setting are september deadline for the government to improve the situation is a strategy that seems to have worked as israel's pm benyamin netanyahu has appointed a special committee to address the demands of illustration leaders remain less than satisfied and threaten officials with a million strong march across fifty times in early september but has altered its policy or discovers that the us traitors call for social justice they have neighbors to face an even tougher battle having simply no place to live. 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's 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. at least they have houses we have nothing we haven't even got a 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 are not sleeping here and necessarily. but it's a sign it's that the dance you're ours 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 have evolved in israel mostly from in the treaty 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. it's a charge the africans are all too familiar with this place we're sitting is a british where very often. stream right wing organizes the rallies against jews saw when the road. to 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 of course you can find out previous reports from the tent city on our website also in our facebook page and follow paula clears tweets always wrote on our twitter feet. if. the recent wave of street unrest in the u.k. led to mutual recruitment ational between police and put a protest to the rather as they each seek to lay blame for an inadequate response

to the violence and they are that so that chaos erupted last saturday and i don't know it took a few days for the disturbance just spread across the country the british we have david cameron expressed serious discontent with the police calling their response at the outset of violence timid and an adequate point to international tactics and police numbers police authorities didn't hesitate to strike back and blamed politicians for not offering enough assistance labeling that a return to the sound of occasions as a lame gesture of how courts are overwhelmed with processing hundreds of alleged rioters and extra police units are expected to remain on the streets until at least in the next week they trauma leaves people around the world wondering if the streets of their own home towns will always be safe and though we are focused also known as the president try to find out if new york is good for see their city shaken by violence in the future. is your neighborhood next week let's talk about that it's. inhumane barbaric

and i think 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 unrest here in the states but i could totally see it happening i think because in taiwan most people have very. light your fire 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 low election times people are going crazy but not to the far like the looting is so horrible and the threat is but there were demonstrations in creation but they were peaceful day with the burn the flag you know but they wouldn't break a window 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 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 hundred for example you'll see many of the same comments in the newspapers published in that era or with the stream of history reading 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 u.s. has lost its treasured aaa credit rating after

a downgrade last week by the agency standard and poor's it's a move that stunned markets around the world on a roller coaster ride and now washington is gunning for those behind the dreaded markdown the u.s. securities and exchange commission is now investigating the company of allegations of estimating u.s. dead by some to train and. as and insider trading is believed that news of the downgrade was leaked to certain market power players even before it became official and national analysts denning explains why this may lead to full scale investigation of all the rating agencies. the path that probably doesn't begin or end with an s. and p. my guess is that the investigation is going to find if be if it's not just an arm waving show that there were some extra parties but had nothing to do with s. and p. made a great deal of money on friday there is clearly a political element to those if you know downgrades coming in you short the market prior to that you could make a great deal of money that is
