resigning and greece swearing in and new head of cabinet critics now suspended brussels of pulling the strings of newly appointed and an elected officials. you have atomic watchdog zeroes in on iran's nuclear ambitions by releasing satellite images and letters which allegedly prove the country could be building a bomb by iran says mr dismisses the findings saying the accusations are fabricated and politicized. and police investigate fresh clashes in northern ca so after nato peacekeepers fired tear gas at affleck's serbs at a disputed border crossing the un secretary general says the situation has been caused by cos it was a chance to stand its control over the area. so it was on north stream gas entering you were for the first time we sat down with a man who headed the ambitious project germany's foreign chancellor at a beginning of a million voter tells us why the route is so important for all sides involved.

gerhard schroeder was charles love germany from nineteen ninety eight to two thousand and five he's now chairman of the board at north stream russia's new gas pipeline under the baltic sea europe is to further why should the e.u. increase its dependence on gazprom it's good news i know opinions right or slants and we're not talking about russia's dependence we're talking about cooperation between russia on the one side and the european union on the other in the energy sector stream is viewed as a priority project both by russia and the because it's been part of europe's energy networks since two thousand and six not recognized by the european parliament and the e.u. council of energy instead which wasn't from your patient part i meant in from the energy minister to nordstrom pipelines have already been laid what top of the third

one will be added or what will be its capacity we haven't yet still stand by that we currently have at least two pipelines with a total capacity of fifty five billion cubic any us could beat me a question of whether a third or even like climate living or they should be answered by european silcott as you know we have gazprom in the order and holland's got sunni france's g.d.s. so as a german easy on and the a yes if we're just a lonely life investors decided to build a third and fourth life by the way finally final smiley like i we're not talking about state department as a computer i don't know whether they would make such a decision as it was not part of my one mind of god. i'm just brussels wants all russian energy companies not just gas problem to be allowed to export gas to europe what are the implications of that for gas problem and europe. regulator reification is not the issue. and the rest of your questions need to get asked to sensibly reform that and. russia on the other hand has to sell gas to keep its budget in

world or slow and so there's a. and getting a culture is a good thing rigi how to be happy to see european companies invest into russia and european markets open up for what and company that is a good free market economy that is good for marc rich or what do you think of the reason you raids on gazprom and its partners in europe they think about just your p.r. guy i think europeans need gas to feel less as many years it's a dog with a political uncertainty in north africa also good to have a stable partner that you could rely on for russia is one of this you know better than anyone else for a space that i've written recently switched from export to heal europe needs a gas supply to maintain a stable mix of energy sources and it's climatic conditions would it work them into getting to norway zero outside but also russia's because therefore i think opening the market up didn't companies would be the right amount of water for the name so if we do some e.u. officials oppose russia whatever it does get us is for the best most mind i guess

it is so we have to admit that our very own i hope we will get over it it's understandable and his european union needs russia geopolitically of the reverse is also true it's not a question but with the time has come to start cooperating and stop looking back at an idealogue difference here again that is for the could russia switch supply east to china if brussels keeps up its hostility is unknown as it puts your little minds of wishes in a situation where it could ship gas to china and all of asia and europe i hope russia never has to make a choice of these of the russian government is evidently pro european of europe cannot keep pushing russia away it hurts russians privately and we have to keep in mind that while russia has the alternative of the shipping get asia europe has no such alternative and europe's geopolitical position will only improve if it manages to enter a tiny harbor ship with russia and at the same time grant all u.s.

session to turkey it would not be a sound strategy aimed into the future good enough the rest. yesterday's debate unless under is good but haven't guessed it does decide to go east could that mean the fall for europe why doesn't this need to know whether or not happened russia was an exceptionally reliable supplier during soviet times so no one has to worry about that trying to get i will say again that europe whole market is incredibly important for russia to keep its budget balance about other things like this therefore we're not talking about the kind of here and it was a good progress in shipping liquefied natural gas and then makes europe less dependent on pipelines can that affect this project and us government does it. i mean i think it would have a negative effect on the project as europe's liquefied gas market is quite limited on the move there's no way to sell it in germany or poland has a developing market import is that it's in no way a danger of yours that's not the reason i'm criticizing it indication that there

are alternative sources of the low spot prices and that's their duty and the spot deals can be of no more gain than long term supply agreements in the short run and they do not offer stability firstly preferred play a good record in the wake of the fukushima disaster germany is closing all its nuclear power plants do you support that and how will it change your body's energy mix rather have been good man lloyd and so consider this me and my team are the people who would gradually negotiated that deal with our energy suppliers we had agreed to make a sensible exit out of nuclear strategy site that was followed by a short period when the federal government for our agreement should be overturned out of court they've since gone the other way and started supporting what i had negotiated on this does not mean bridge technologies like nuclear energy cannot be used until energy efficiency is sufficiently developed we need gas as an interim energy source for the sake of energy security that's the reason we need to buy gas from new york from other cultures but primarily from russia and the reason we need

to build a gas power station has done more. with this crisis mr sarkozy says no euro no europe surely you're worth avoid without the euro so that there's i know i know from reading this is a quote my successor in office likes to go of course europe's going to have problem exactly europe has problems but there's one thing you can be sure of and if the euro is going to survive as a common currency then even it theoretically things turn out differently which i find very important you think we will still have a united europe it is vital and or probable you would childs a lot when greece cooked its books to join the euro should you have stopped pathans from joining the single currency company. on those it was your own via i do not think that was our situation of the european commission its employees that had to conduct inspections they had letters know that we could take the responsibility for greece's e.u. a session ourselves and it was a purely preparatory mission conducted by the european commission the national

governments if we had made the decision to take greece in we could not claim without having a firm proof that the information we got then was a diplomatically speaking not entirely correct various people might keep in mind that the european parliament voted in favor of greece's membership almost unanimously including the conservatives who are now trying to distance themselves from that decision sometimes in politics you don't want to believe things that he wants condoned or actually happening to have wasn't there about. either the commission was wrong or the handling of greece has been wrong since they tended which which is it is not their keynesian who are going to shift to the uk we love it's pointless to talk about how things were in the past we're talking of ever think we can don't i hope we manage to keep greece in the euro zone so that'll happen as the new greek government would have to be nonpartizan uninfluenced by debates provoked by right we don't cover that on front and i hope a package of aid agreements that european leaders have got real is implement tech

and forms if that's the case then i think we can start taking care of stabilizing the market. with a great deal of help from greece here for or there is one point i would like to my country should not be broken down and not only does greece need a budget discipline which is of course trigger should what greece needs new york city or investments that invest in would be good to see wealthy greek citizens who are currently vesting abroad to pay taxes in their own country i go instead of looking for investment opportunities or strong was a good idea what would i bring is there a red line beyond which germany they we're not going to bail out southern europe anymore or the germany have a historic bit that europe has from it and they're getting about i'm not against discussing a red line the problem is that if you start to talk about a red line then you'd eventually have to correctly germany's interested both politically and economically in a functioning europe dortch that economic interest is easily explainable to that forty percent of our xcode goes to the european union and beyond that is if those

countries are hit by a crisis then slow is germany your secondly or the lesson we learned in the past and our prospects for the future dictates that germany is not strong enough geopolitical to play a significant role in a game where the u.s. is one superpower and an asian leader and one of the gleick in this case china is the other new european state it's in the i'm only one thousand you are can take on a role like that if that's why germany is interested in a night of us that is not just because of the pastors for the sake of our citizens future conference a lot of the small question many germans many people many friends are angry at having to pay. of a role that's enough for it something i can understand that but i have to explain it very consistently to the current generation of political leaders clearly it's within our own interests to maintain stability in other countries as germany's a nation that relies hugely on actually here if markets around us from both but it harms us we have to explain to our people the new generation the prospects for long

lasting. peace allies in europe. when you serve the german chancellor there was no question of receiving financial aid from china or russia directly or indirectly through the i.m.f. do you regret that's happening potentially and what would be the implication i think it doesn't have a dollar you don't think we should feel bad about other nations getting stronger be they russians chinese brazilians south africans or indians are american should not concern us because these countries offer us more opportunities to export our products as they develop a big. but that's only the case if we stay debt and stay more innovative when we fulfill our agenda of twenty canada and sort out our social policies and germany is the only country that understood back in two thousand and three different aging country to maintain prosperity it must provide for change i think about i wonder if the rest of the e.u. states i mean understood this a decade later i'll manage to take the action needed to maintain prosperity i on

the other hand we have an understanding that an aging society with a decreasing number of people who are to floyd has problems over the some years will be a movie that we started taking care of our problems in time the rest will regret it we can be forced to take on harder mission as goes for everyone not just the sound of all posts this but if they don't you can or didn't hear ghostwrote a sample of the board for the north korean guest pipeline i think it has become a doctor. from los angeles to chicago to birmingham twenty trauma centers have closed since two thousand saddam is not enough in patient beds not enough urgency department beds and not enough nurses commandos that's to take care of all the people who are here the only real health care system that we have in the city of los angeles is

the los angeles fire department in fact when i started my venture is a firefighter i didn't want to hear ask i started out i want to just do firefighting it's about eighty two percent of what we do the fire department is medical but that rescue couple weeks away for hours for a bit i waited sometimes three hours and i would just say i say frances and we went for four hours and fifty minutes staring at a wall of patients and we have a federal law that mandates that you can't turn no one away six care in an emergency room. we have the most expensive health care system in the world and it's probably valued the least. for your fish. called touch from the. old chief. of the.

all that slows hamiltons acclaim a record equalling fourteenth pole position this season for the albums of the grand prix. raising the bar russian men dominate the one hundred five k. division at the world weightlifting championships in paris taking the medal tally to four gold silver and bronze. and the euro while russia head coach of the car speaks to order to see after his side were healthy one war one friend to drop by greece in athens. first to formula one and red bulls sebastian betts all has once again denied mclaren's lose hamilton pole position by producing a stunning final lap in qualifying for the albert dhabi grand prix and had some unaided every practice session at ya some arena but like so many times this season that's all found some extra pace when it counted to claim his twenty ninth career paul he also equalled nigel mansell all time record of fourteen pole positions in

the season said back in one thousand nine hundred two microns jenson button will start third on the grid ahead of a red bull's mark webber and curries are not the alonso rushes it's out of control for isn't. i was not so happy with my first run in q three but the second run much happier especially the first two sectors and with that and i was by myself a little bit of a cushion in the last six which was a bit trickier towards the end of the evening so i thought all in all enough just enough to you know to jump ahead of lewis. the and russia have claimed their second straight on three new coaches and it allowed for the four one victory over sweden in finland after winning their opening match in the car you lock up in a shootout against a reigning world champion stillings russia secured a more than called simple victory over the swedes a brace of powerplay goals by alexander rhodes all up in the first period gave the russians a confident lead and vulture

a car pulled one back in the second alexander and sergei added their names to the scoreboard in the third to seal the final score meanwhile whole skinless be the czech republic for nail. tennis now and world number four is that federer has reached the final of the paris masters for the first time in his career after a comprehensive win over much burdick the thirty year old wraps up an impressive six four six three victory in just eighty one minutes without facing a single break points it's the first time the sixteen signed grand slam winner has gone through to the final of a masters append since shanghai last october all friday federer became only the seventh man in history to surpass the eight hundred career with mark by beating one monaco in the paris quarterfinals. those very pleased that we're playing today. well it was pretty good match i think we did actually well through something with me because it is more chances to maybe even extend the lead from the start that was

able to take control and they were really able to get away so it was a it was. the second semifinal saw the two thousand and eight paris champion joel fred sun-god clear out his place in the final after a tough three set win over american john eyes are they on seeded eyes or won the first set six three but some got charged up by the home crowd managed to get back into can sanction and won the following two sets seven six seven six having saved three match points in the final set so the local players from god will now face that are in the final thing counter being their six career meeting this year with a swiss player coming on three times and the frenchman twice. well let's stay in france where russian weightlifters one individual gold and silver medals and the hundred five kilogram category at the world championships which are being held at the french disneyland's in paris this year's european champion kaji i cry lifted

a combined souls of four hundred thirty kilograms in this snatch and clean and jerk for top place on the podium while his team mate the beijing olympic silver medalist the ecological was just too close behind with four hundred twenty eight for third place finisher from ukraine was a full eighteen programs behind so the convincing one to finish for the russians in the hundred five k. division could establish communication at the london olympics. moving on to football where russia were held so one one draw by greece in a friendly in athens on friday night because of a cuts meant continue their preparations for next summer's european championships and the head coach spoke with our it sees richard one portly after the national press i think is a really good test for us today i mean you probably learn a lot from series mileage very comfortable very reasonable you know a lot of said if you take the weak points out of the team and we can play to depart

you they will be good they will be showed a very physical. looks very good for the future i mean how impressed we i mean had a few divisions i mean. personally. they were a part of the team and as always supporting they were not alone there no way to get good results i was pleased with have seen the first game is always difficult i mean i am also i mean you've said you've got three games the head of the european championships in two thousand and twelve has a team progressing you did look very good tonight. from the beginning it is a real team and does the reason i have also some problems to change because. chances are. four chances for you to go two or three goals if. you have chords. as a coach do you have a sample score because i mean very few coaches run europe can call on such

a few group of players would you have done the last few years because your basic is based your school yeah definitely. the majority of the players knows that i want a see the big in the games. that's important and we can only do better still and examine why i mean obviously the likes of the sharp end of a change of air can get figureheads if your team i mean how disappointing is it to use a head coach that they're not getting a lot of game time in this region they don't look like today ninety minutes. but i didn't want to take a risk was wrong with respect because this is important to fit as. well we're still timing of. loves you can i get along great until next year when you play the second number friendlies i mean which seems you're looking to play in my time or do you not assign decided there's a possibility. if. i don't know what color have a day off the result. of

a loss for a no tonight against gracious i probably won't be a rendition of you and mr keating. we will see if we can do that. gulf now and halfway leader tiger woods has dropped to joints eighth place after a disappointing three over par round of seventy five straight open while local man john senden fired and nine on the par sixty three to equal the course record and say a one shot lead going into the final day woods leaderboard answered two rounds and it seemed like the former world number one hand down his swing but the thirty five year old american made a poor start with three straight bogeys intentionally ending his round with a seventy five to light side for eight while the highest ranked australian jason day celebrated his twenty fourth birthday with a round of sixty eight playing a number of impressive iron shots to put himself into contention finishing the day

on eleven under for second spot while watching this shot where local hopeful john senden who won this tournament in two thousand and six finished his round under after a magnificent sixty three to take a gun shot lead into the final say but while it was joy for sens and it had been a frustrating day for woods it struggled on the par five holes after two consistent days. on all just starting out the three if i look at the first time holes here is we're way way firmer than what they were the first two days and then you know instinctively i was playing more brake and let the greens more working and i left early on the high side so i'm excited effort to take more low lines on the back and i'm starting low so. just frustrating. meanwhile tributes can sing it's a role in full former world heavyweight boxing champion joe frazier died and she's
