welcome back you all watching at the weekly with me rumors of the headlines cracks appear between politicians and police about how the riots in the u.k. . prime minister david cameron it turns and then to us experience for health and well fed up local communities in terms of vigilantes. three years on members of the victims of a short but bloody conflict in georgia launched an offensive to reclaim its territories hundreds died in the ensuing five day war and the public is still

trying to recover. u.s. regulators declare war on the ratings agencies after america's a long treasured that school can still send the world markets into a state of chaos. next year when i'll see our exclusive interview with iran's president mahmoud ahmadinejad you stay with us. the president not going to as you have think you so much for taking the time out of your busy show if you will to be on r.t. and to answer a number of questions that i'd like to put to you and get your latest thoughts on domestic issues and international issues 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 wanted 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 that's been orchestrated from abroad over to you so. so i mean we've seen very important development 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 on the interference of nato in the region nato to interfere in the affairs of libya and 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 or 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 the country. do you

think around needs to liberalize do you think you should introduce more political reforms that maybe head off something similar happening in this country as well at some point in the future does it worry you at all. i think the entire world needs more freedom more than everybody else in the world the europeans and the americans need freedom in europe is there freedom really is there real freedom in the united states they're beating people in the streets do you think the dissenting voices in your country of which there are some are listening to you to 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 media we have property press and they criticize the government but if you think they are 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 bahrain. yemen lebanon iraq. some of those countries have been complaining you're 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 things that 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 the 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 better higher quality. the 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 there are no many nuclear arsenals in belgium and germany and other european countries. so let me 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. will never never we do not want nuclear weapons we do not seek nuclear weapons this is only a human weapon and 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 the americans have nuclear bombs and nuclear weapons and could they win in iraq and afghanistan could the nuclear weapons help the israelis to gain victory in lebanon and gaza could nuclear weapons help the former soviet union from collapse. you clear weapons or weapons of the previous century our goal in a country and the goal of our people is peace for all nuclear energy for all nuclear weapons for none all nuclear activities in iran are monitored by the i.a.e.a. there will be no documents against iran from the agency it's just a claim by the us that we are after nuclear weapons. do you ever consider it possible that the in. ited states israel could make air strike against you could more from italy actually comes to your country does it worry you. they want to do

it but they know up they know that we would give them a very decisive response i'm sorry to ask you again this is when you say a decisive response what you mean is that what you're talking about there. we would give them a crushing response that's our 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. the same regards israel as well then yes there's no reason ever to go to war then there's no reason to make a first strike a preemptive strike against 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 in the past sixty years 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 iran there and our history and our geopolitics. nuclear power plant which has been in development for a long time obviously as a country was very much looking forward to the coming on stream to give you nuclear power you know when the launch date will we 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 by the world community and the entire international community watches how russians are building our nuclear power plant. let's focus on china 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. which we have a two way relationship with 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 but 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 but i relations with russia now. iran and russia are two neighbors geographically we should always remain neighbors 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 thirteen you'll be coming to the end of your a second and final presidential term you can explain the 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 i'll continue to serve the nation anywhere and at the university will be no problem can i ask you know what you will most miss about the job what you most enjoyed about the job. myself. ok. president bush going to the run thank you so much for taking the time to be with all of the international and your homes preciousness very much appreciate it.

this is a cable from the u.s. embassy in colombo to talk about if you're a parent june seventh incident of extrajudicial executions the military reported to the press that on that they've killed nine guerrillas and just to get from brighton strikes on could you know and there's going to be strongly suggest however that the nine were executed by the army and then dressed in military fatigues. explain how you know this kind of phenomenon where bodies are dressed up as guerrillas and presented as killed in action and this and this idea that you need to produce bodies actually encouraged paramilitary collaboration this is a cia document central intelligence agency they knew about these activities they

knew they were happening they knew about links to paramilitary groups and yet it's us they continue to. take fifteen to twenty million years for the planet to recover from a major extinction event for the planet as time we don't. scream going on for months twenty twenty five years and since there's been a culture was before there was even islamic fundamentalist terrorist in this country ninety nine eleven the bush administration could not find any terrorists because the feds couldn't find any real terrorists they decided to take these young people who are accused of property sabotage and label him as terrorists someone he'll destroy property. with absolutely zero intention of harming a single human being i in my mind it's not fair and real people who are green in

this country are the housewives who recycle. and the children who play trees on the weekend with her cub scout troops that's the. sound. of. your thoughts toward the. streets to keep some secrets of the

times and reveal visions of the soviet files on oxy. issues three couldn't take three days for churches free. three. three. two three. three branches closing video projects and free media. in india. the grand central church and the. president. beatriz a. photo . of. the. shirt.

collection. made. cuts. in the headlines this week the cracks appear between politicians. u.s. experience to help. these. three years on the. victims of a short. story hundreds died in the ensuing. still trying to recover. u.s. regulators declare war on the ratings agencies.

some of the week's headlines. the sports. well i love this cold and this action type song destroys the headline. in the song it's neat song isn't really going to run cars are going to start to top the boxing playing. a lot into the champions manchester united kickstarts a title defense of west brom chelsea join stoke in the premier league. on goal cases so he can't use his sixteen win of the season in the czech republic tighten his grip on the major g.p. standings. because the football and snakes have the chance to join taste at the top of the russian primarily this sunday of course the league win in a row this time. would be enough to put the defending champions level on points

with the only bad however this is quite some things in a fairly struggling as they always want downs as costly and sun back in the mid seventy's left in time and space to finish off. the place in the first well elsewhere the sunday night new boys. the table salt still scoreless just minutes to go place wrong spot i'm just losing she did you really should cost davies for the visitors as a result of the incidents and. so every team is still chasing this guy who salvaged a last gasp equaliser in a one one draw on saturday when somebody pulled ahead just before half time because now phil school sponsored referee relief. however the tide looked to have turned in the second. entirely the central were being her second because the fans have said get a shave it's blasted why bother being keeper significant is over the moon when it

seemed he would be once again off to the con always so but in the dying seconds of stoppage time i am so grave sprang american from just outside the box just where it was all. what i mean tackle the match. oh the place now must go up with a vengeance following last week's promise we will defeat the combined. washington that it was a six to one time tough business from chechnya grant and lee to every turn but it was a memorable for that first equaliser so they got on right now. then six minutes later they took the lead. and two more goals either side of the great make threats drop even further cuts across it's the tomato soup or something demands full. force and show off by the grace. mix and that's a better drive in the last rail injury time go make it six to two dinner. while

meanwhile spots now to find off the bottom floor in a two no one is that seats home and business finally took at least fifteen minutes for each time he said that he'd seen fine let beautifully on the turn however a contender for miss of the season would swiftly follow the ship all firing over much easier to school that's what he said as he would make amends in stoppage time hitting home with the top slice defense once again or let's see if you will find the story in siberia. plan elsewhere combine our six thought everything last talk to one on the road to brazilian defenders yell out sports the first because i'm after twenty three minutes in and set these. poor their way back into the match early in the second half with a header of their own signing expo but the one place for his second goal in as many games but mark ne needed only six minutes the good guy in front again and protest is meant to this is only possible selves into the top half of the table. coming one

off the pitch in seville and cameron strike at some your ex who says he might not now sign for russian bungee off through the thirty year old says they go. on going with the club but that he could stay it into or play for a side in england and we are reported to have offered him a pay packets of more than twenty million dollars a year. we are not the only club making high profile acquisitions as twice former champions retain have signed paragraph striker. twenty seven. which i thank you dear brothers was instrumental in paraguayans run to the quarter finals at last year's world cup. the safe in one is up to a year ago i last month's america. he won everything goes there was no winning start of the season for new manager and. chelsea so i drew milner at stoke the mandatory started up front instead of video drugs and the former champions with forty one dogs defensive display by the home side and remain

unbeaten in flying visits to the britannia stadium real nailed on we won in around ten minutes defending champions manchester united will begin the defense of their title and start their search for the top flight crew and the twenty a west bromwich albion trikes ferguson is only four as times on the road last year must come with the obvious knights played any points off united at old trafford that's on the roosting their side with new signings actually undervalued the high and phil jones rebels remain favorites to retain their side. for me while for the first time in english premier league history there wasn't a single homegrown only opening day of the season on saturday to promote his side queens park rangers were thrashed four nil it's time to bolt and become league leaders for the by wolves who want gangland strikers juvie know we sent off late on in his arsenal xavi is the gunners dream real nearly newcastle elsewhere sunderland balance bank to say the point at liverpool your each true wigan full of stability shared the spoils and so on and against everton was postponed because of the lights in england the new week. notice course now in case the star now has extended his

lead over reigning motor g.p. champion. after the australian triumph in the check. six when the season start is repsol from the team it started but as a started from paul it crashed out early in the race and stoner never looked back after the months to finish just over six and a half seconds and another tsunami of it is ios a fast improving walk us through in chile taking his maiden podium place second for the back runs i had to settle for fourth trials lead a study by thirty two points in the overall standings. and finally all the sports has caught up with the russian ice hockey star who has lit up the n.h.l. for almost two decades so the seven year old also has some of his defense once again cho is a stanley cup winner and five time all star and he told us all about his favorite players training regimes and his future in the game.

not skating out of the summer time pretty much and there were no dollars so far we're going to start getting next week. then you know work hard wires i just try to use my you know what he weighed more weight so just different i don't think down there is really something special about you know what your body needs and you know how much i mean to get ready so it's very much the problem that he was kind of. a girl tweaker here. a lot to play i mean. it's awful cerebral winter olympics in russia i'm sure i mean some sort of. country government you know the doing everything to make sure they're all everything's going to be first class and i'm working really looking forward to it so i hope i'll play very well that i'm not going to play on the feeling that i

was against. it was a cause of mine for i think a year. before he went to north america and i had a chance to work with him during the wall cop. so i know him i know him i'm in an old style of his fortune so i think wait he's one of those guys who. you know wants to win on every level that he's working. with. i don't think that there is anybody close to be here on the x. ray scanner mark in our culture seems like those guys some of everybody else and beyond they have so much talent. since i get to remember we see you good players but i don't think there are spirit as well can a rich culture. seems

like all the league is progressing over the years last couple years a game so they're getting more competitive and i think quality of hockey getting better so and i was three i still talking to people my friends were going through and they're saying the same thing so they show i think moving in the right direction i'm just not as easy to surface correction on building you know we seems like moving right things and then moving forward. which. i thought put fewer some players look around my play for you for the phrase old cause they want to championship larry last year it was a captain for the team and then i called for him i talked to andrea once in a while i'm not sure we are going to probably call him next few days how do you. keep in touch with those guys and they telling me what's going on.

with. as long as i fill. in on there is no need injuries so i'd like to continue flying have still a car i mean i still want to play i had a surgery a couple years of war on my shoulder and i most missing for almost a year i'm afraid was great to spend time with your family because for my career i've been traveling a lot from going on son a lot of time away from the family but you know on the same time i felt like there is still i still want to where i am you know all still continue flying somewhere. so the schools are this close on the two. so.

all. modern. history. dynamic. plans but he'll. go. in india all g.'s availability and move go.
