now here in moscow a recap of the stories that shaped the week the bushes street riots that led to thousands of arrests turned into a backlash at a meeting say the how they handled the fallout and some of these things but also some of the tunning their anger on the government or something help from a veteran american institute. in the u.s. gets a downgrade of his own no credit statements from a major racing's agency which will say gave the country a negative economic outlook the you sent the grain street global markets which is

going to cheer at the top this week a good sense. of. self is that sailboats three years this week since georgia's deadly miniature fences to these attempts to regain control of the territory results in a five day war came hundreds of innocent lives. up next it's all seasons with iran's president mahmoud ahmadinejad's. president mahmoud ahmadinejad thank you so much for taking the time out of your busy show jewel to be on r.t. and to answer a number of questions that like to put to get your latest thoughts on domestic issues and international issues i'll start if i may with the story that made all of the news headlines for the past six months that's unfolded in north africa and the middle east that's been 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 breath of to bring democracy or you think it's something maybe that's been orchestrated from abroad over to you. so we've seen very important developments in our region and in north africa it's not only about the people in the region today justice and dignity are among the requirements of all human beings africa has the same aspirations and i think our region has the ability to run our own countries and they have the ability to reach their goals and objectives it's important to take note of the interference of nato in the region nato to interfere in 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 for the security council hastily issued a resolution and it has complicated the situation that has led to the killings and

the massacre of people and destruction of infrastructure in a country. 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 well. i think the entire world needs more freedom more than everybody else in the world the europeans the new americans need freedom in europe is there freedom really is there real freedom in the united states they are beating people in the streets do you think the dissenting voices in your country of which there are some are listening to you do you give any heed to what they have to say to you. i think we have more freedom in iran than other countries and the voices are heard more than in other countries i am among the people and i am in close contact with the people we have the mass media we have preferred the press and they criticize the government but if you think i'm going to say we have an ideal situation where in the world can you find a fully ideal country iran is among the best countries in the world in this respect

we've never said we are perfect should be a comparison let's look now at your neighbors new relationship with so your nearest neighbors when you bar a. yemen lebanon iraq. some of those countries have been complaining meddling in their internal affairs do they have a point. have we done a bad thing that we said that people should not be killed in bahrain what bad thing did we do do you call it interference who is using military force in bahrain are we doing that who is interfering in the internal affairs of the region show me one place or one location in the world where iranian military forces are present there is no such place but british forces american forces nato forces there around us everywhere there surrounding iran and those same forces say iran is interfering in the internal affairs of the region what can we say to that. only recently iran announced that you've stepped up production of new centrifuges faster better

centrifuges to make that a higher quality. a question mark is why i know you said all the long line round does not want nuclear weapons ran is 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 that some countries have nuclear weapons if we're going to be against nuclear weapons we must rise in opposition to current nuclear arsenals their own oil many clear arsenals in belgium and germany and other european countries. to just get this straight by you saying that at some point in the future you may want to acquire a nuclear deterrent a nuclear weapon. never never we do not want nuclear weapons we do not seek nuclear weapons this is only human weapon our religion says it is prohibited and we are

religious people 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 the international equations are not determined by nuclear arsenals today in american seven uclear bombs or nuclear weapons and could they win in iraq and afghanistan could their nuclear weapons help the israelis to gain victory in lebanon and gaza could nuclear weapons help the former soviet union from collapse. nuclear weapons or other weapons of the previous century our goal in the country and the goal of our people is peace for all nuclear energy for all and nuclear weapons for none all nuclear activities in iran are monitored by the. arab you know documents against iran from the agency it's just a claim by the us that we are after nuclear weapons. ever considered possible that the in. states israel could make a strike against you could launch military action against your country does it

worry you. they want to do it but they know up they know that we will give them a very decisive response i'm sorry to ask you again this when you say a decisive response what do you mean by what you're talking about that. we would give them a crushing response that's a normal reaction we have a saying if someone throws a small stone you reply with a bigger one we will defend ourselves to our full capability but i hope there will never come there's no reason for war why should they attack us. this regards israel as well then yes there's no reason ever to go to war with them there's no reason to make a first strike a preemptive strike against them would you ever think that's the. case of the zionist regime is different it was created for the purpose of threats and aggression it was created to secure the interests of the west if the zionist regime didn't terrorize occupy or threaten it wouldn't exist they've been created solely

for that purpose and if the person is they've always done the same thing they've always behaved the same way but anyway they can look at the world map they can see a rug there and our history and our geo politics. nuclear power plant which has been in development for a long time obviously is a country must be very much looking forward to that coming on stream to give you nuclear power you know when the launch date will be know the operational date when it feeds the grid. it will be operational they say before the end of the year there is no problem of course it's part of the relationship between us and russia but of course that can be seen whether world community and the entire international community watches how the russians are building our nuclear power plant. what folks on china are fast developing country actively promoting itself here in iran at the moment how do you see iranian development both ways do you think you'll be selling more of your energy to china in the future. we have a two way relationship iran and china are two important and large countries and

they enjoy centuries old civilizations and consciousness we've always maintained friendly ties and today we have identical views on international development for the common denominator in our relationship is based on justice and security for all . relationship with russia has always been very good but it was a little shaky when for the first time russia decided to go with sanctions imposed here you said that was inadmissible last year and acceptable what i relations with russia now. iran and russia are two neighbors geographically we should always remain laborers we cannot change that reality because we cannot move our land we must be friends and we must remain friends we must be in a position to make use of these resources and common views earlier i had very good talks with mr putin and also very useful discussions with president medvedev i hope will be able to expand our bilateral relations especially with regard to the

present global economic and political changes iran and russia can offer common solutions to the current international troubles and the two sides must develop their ties and contacts and hopefully we'll be able to increase the level of those bilateral relations twenty thirty you'll be coming to the end of your a second and final presidential term you've been extremely busy for the last eight years what are you going to do then what does a president then become what are you looking forward to doing and what would you miss about the job we have free elections in our country whoever is elected by the people will be the right one and this is the right of our nation they have the right to freely elect anybody they wish and i will help them i mean university professor preserve his job and profession and they'll continue to serve the nation anywhere and at the university they'll be no problem. ask you know what you will most miss about the job would you most enjoyed about the job. myself. ok. president i'm going to get out of the run thank you so much for taking the time to

be with altie international and your time's precious and it's very much appreciated . this is a cable from the u.s. embassy in colombo this talk back here at a parent june seventh incident of extrajudicial executions the military order to express that on that day that killed nine guerrillas in combat the desecration by construct your own kind of you know and they're going to react strongly suggest however that the nine were executed by the army and then dressed in military fatigues. let. me explain how you know this kind of phenomenon where bodies are dressed up as guerrillas and presented as killed in action and this and just the idea that you need to produce products actually encouraged paramilitary collaboration is the cia document central intelligence agency they knew about these

activities they knew they were happening they knew about links a paramilitary groups and yet. usaid continued to flow. it can hit doctors minds policemen sometimes ministers why i just prayed that if you didn't find me if i could slip through the night that i would get my kids out of here because i knew that was going to happen was that he was going to kill me many victims don't understand that domestic violence includes verbal abuse psychologically piece physical abuse and sexual acts at least four million women are affected by abuse every year those are my only two options that i thought that either i'm going to kill him only in jail or he's going to kill it.

the territory resulted in a five day war will take hundreds of innocent lives. time now but i suppose with good to see you got some news day on the start of the english premier league fallout continues this morning after asil had a man sent off against newcastle that was goalless but plenty of buses to enjoy in the russian premier league you'll be pleased to know i've the action stuff that. hello there thanks for watching the sporting this is what is coming up six of the best in our i thrashed eric six two while russian premier league latest grab a late equaliser against rubin. little known american steel and dufner lead the way p.g.a. championship. and serene again for number one through williams reaches the

rogers cup final. not just the last coach when it's loose he has praised his team spirit after they grabbed a last minute equaliser against rubin the army men are the league leaders at the moment but have only claimed two points from the last three games and fell behind to be just before half time the ref giving a penalty and davis nacho scoring from the spot that mobile fast forward to the second half is the worst similar scenes to scar strike about the love was pushed in the six yard box the ref says penalty again this time signature which glossed over from the spot so one mail other business is good tardif they got their reward right that i am disappointed with the allies this is how it finished three points about second place and think it's great. that. the goals weren't in short supply when the

anonymous one terry gross we met up at the arena him take this is from chechnya grabbing believe daily on air with the creeping in of the pack pipes there but that was just because it would get tara the nomic got an equaliser through on going for an hour a half an hour and then six minutes later they typically from kevin could run you. on each strike this. and she will go either side of the break would my job even. shah rukh cross doesn't matter as you see paul claims now mr wolf sixty who had a one sided clash. moved to a point of second city. and spot on now she can have climbed off the boston following a single when away to sea to home the visitors taking nearly fifty time alexander chants and finding the next week if we only get ten the list of the season. that

also includes she calls. and it's far easier to just go but the strike would make amends right at that getting high with the top sides and once again only see the school. six. she won on the right beginning defenders scoring the first because than they could but at the montebello right as well the equalizer. needed only six minutes to put in front again crossed off from the taint in the tight. here's goldstraw was and he can join them at the top of the league today with victory i am caught elsewhere of all the welcome look i might see start at moscow and i get head to head not present bottom side previous to get. on the first day of the new english premier league season so if you've sent off on his day before you know they're going to destroying their mail with newcastle at st james's

giving you a card with forty minutes to get off the raising and on to newcastle. to manage your ass in bangor set up with it shouldn't just be a booking elsewhere liverpool still the first goal of the season luis suarez got it for sunderland bands back in the second half that it's a good point for a newly promoted side queens park rangers with thrashed cornell into bolton faults in our thoughts along with the pain from the high. to be blunt knowledge got a point away too we're going to follow an aston villa she had just spoiled and spurs again says it's the most despised because of the rise in england in the way he put the sunday defending champions manchester united are in action they are way out west brom and chelsea begin that stuff. now in other news too little known americans are leading the way goals final major of the year brandon steele and jason duff in our shot ahead of keegan bradley at the p.g.a. championship in georgia still has only finished in the top ten one so far this

season and that was when he won the texas open so his sudden form here where he shot a sixty six on saturday has taken many parts of prize steals. seven. along with an unexpected nine here jason dufner keeping up his great full birdies back to back on the fifteenth and sixteenth hole was giving him a share of the lead on another american p.g.a. tour bradley's just a shot but giving the u.s. out of their first win at in six majors short of the day although we're not sure he meant it so i went to northern ireland's rory mcilroy fund the wall nicely to loft his ball back onto the green away from the water he had to smile even though he's fourteen shots off the lead to stephen bradley we're still trying to stay focused. my expectations are just to go play a solid around tomorrow and if it's good enough than great and if it's not then you know it'll be my this is my first major so hopefully first of many you know

probably be a little anxious for me i don't think i get i guess you could probably call it nerves but for me it's just anxious to get out there and get the competition go in and see you know how i can stack up against this field against this golf course i think that's what all the guys are out here they're all trying to win tournaments and it is just want to see how they stack up i think cheney faces but i have three million a is taking control again in tennis former world number one stringer williams is reached the final of the rogers calkins around eighteen in the world after a long layoff through injury but he's coming back to a best sweeping past week troy as a rank pain straight sex was just too much to set up with ronald but the strain he is. i. was made to work harder with agnes going to advance the pole leveling the match at a set all but stows of them responded in the decider they take that sixty round the match and she finishes off nicely and takes.

i. know the men's going world number one of a job given she's in the fire and with the rogers cup in montreal after taking the first set again shoulder three to tsonga the frenchman retired three games to love and in the second that is the fifty third win from fifty four matches this year for jockey beach and he will play mardy fish in the finals fish also a man in full he got passed since he began q-tips out of the six three six four for his eleventh when he's not quite up to djokovic yet but fish was dominating the match and felt good about the manner of his victory. i. would agree to do it very slowly from start to finish one minor hiccup in the second one bad game and. you know the momentum i started excluding early break in the first and early broken the second so. pro-grade over

to now another new spain's dani pedrosa has pole position for today's czech republic moto g.p. not deterred by having this stays by chris retract the twenty five year old who was quickest in qualifying reigning champion enzo starts second on the grid with casey stoner in third. finally we've another big name in russian to catch up with from he's n.h.l. better insert a gun charge is a stanley cup winner and a five time all star and told us about his favorite players training regimes and of course is a future in the gap. i'm not skating i do summertime very much until i'm in our barber so for we're going to start getting next week. and then you know workout wise i just try to use my you know why do you eat more weights or it is just different i don't think you know

there is really something special about it you know what your body needs and mean you know how much time you need to get ready so it's very much the program that's who you are kind of. figure out for your career which. i would love to play i mean. it's posts that have our winter olympics in russia i'm sure and in some cycle. country government you know the doing everything to make sure there are everything's going to be for us plus and i'm working really looking forward to it so all hope well play there but if i'm not going to play on the point now where is the games. because. he was a cause for mine for i think a year. before he went to north america and i had a chance to work with him during the world cup. so all i know him i know him coming

on old style he's a fortune so or i think wait he's one of those guys who. you know wants to win and i'm really level that he's working. with because. i don't think that there is anybody close to be there on next generation our mark you know culture since then grows very symbolic everybody else in him beyond we have so much talent from since i get to remember so you are good players but i don't think there are spirit as a multiracial enough. culture. seems like a league is progressing over the years last couple years the games are getting more competitive and i think quality of hockey getting better so and i was sort of still talking to feel my friends were going theorems be saying the same thing sort of

a show i think moving in the right direction just for my leg easy to surface where i shall build a new league i'm simply giving great things are moving forward. because . i talk with fewer some players and look around them i play for you to cover a place full far they want to championship larry last year or the captain put it to me come in talk to him i talked on the once in a while i'm sure we are going to probably call him next few days. and go. to keep in touch with those guys from they telling me what's going on. as long as i feel how it's going on there is no need injuries so i'd like to continue flying i told a car i mean i still want to play i had a surgery a couple years ago on my shoulder and i'm asking this for almost

a year as late as the greatest prime time of your family because for my career i've been trouble with no rod from you know on a lot of time away from the family but you know in the same time i felt like very sterile i still want to play and you know i'll still hunting or playing somewhere or. you can share in a small scale before he heads back to north america for the stuff he and i jail ses and that is all the support for them i'm more into stuff. hungry for the full sleep we've all seen from the time the biggest issues get the human voice face to face with the news makers.
