welcome back you're watching our q live from moscow these are the top stories doing the duma elections as russian's past polling booth to determine who makes it to parliament. the war of words between iran and the west turns into an inferno asked washington and the e.u. infuriated by their rons on phase reaction to threats bad by choking off oil revenues. human rights commissioner call for military intervention in syria sanctions continue to pile on damascus

a worker alleged civilian abuses by forces loyal to president bashar lost that. as long as parties claim to win it gets first posed revolution election and frustration in the streets as many believe their boys are not heard. next twenty four soldiers were killed and thirteen injured in pakistan as nato aircraft attacked the tribal region bordering afghanistan last month the incident sparked angry reactions from islam about artie's tariq well who talks to the country's former head of intelligence tommy go about the consequences the incident may have for the future of u.s. pakistani relations. i don't let them with the nato forces attacks residential districts of pakistan's tribal areas servicemen were killed others wounded how will this incident impact the pakistan u.s. relations and how will pakistan respond to it. retired pakistani army general who

served as the director general of the interest services intelligence is talking to us about the aftermath of the incident in your opinion what are the consequences of this incident can we say that pakistan has already responded in full or should we expect further actions from it while there are very bad at the moment and i think that is the public. this is only going to get. to the right wing with america they're trying to manipulate in bugs found that the political direction in the future after the draw should be more to the left and more toward the liberal kind of dispensation but i think inevitably it is going to drift more to that i make giving status off for most favored nation to india had already created a situation where the right wingers were very annoyed and. we are going to have a very big. december and we will see how the nation

respond what i am getting i think it is going to be very good that's one earthquake that americans want to withdraw they have already declared thirty thousand troops out this year thirty first of december and more to go out and. on. will be they are now trying to. prove one thing to stumble content in the morning is an extension of well off with bumble there from a hole in the ocean. winstrol as a pocket proxy power of mine is fun now that is not going to be acceptable it is not going to work and at this juncture if they have come and struck pakistan that means they do not wish to somebody in america doesn't wish the president of america to announce withdrawal it means that it's actually a fallout of the conflict which is going on between the white house and the

pentagon on one side and neo-cons and. and the indian lobbyist israeli lobbyist all of them are aligned with what the pentagon so obviously it's as much an attack on pakistan as it is on obama's policies because i was expecting that immediately after the born after they've been giving for given some kind of face saving obama would come up with his announcement much expected because american public opinion is now are firmly against this war and eighty six percent voters of the democrats it is obama's party they want quickly draw that means if obama is to get some political benefit out of it he must get bulk of the troops out of understand before he goes to polls in november next year so that is how the calculation is being done and sixty seven percent voters of the republicans

which is a position they also want a quick withdrawal but somebody there does not want quick withdrawal there's a real don't want israelis don't want because israeli want around the weakest tie in pakistan's nuclear program and nuclear efforts to broaden the watchful eyes of the western countries to whoever. so there is a big tussle which is going on but add to this the other forces which do not want the withdrawal to take place and they are these security contractors. one hundred thousand plus security context and of understand narcotic trade is going on at every huge volume ninety two percent of the world's requirement of her opium is being catered to by the by the of one production and then there is the military establishment which you know that as soon as of our pulled out troops is going to

cut the military budget so there are multiple complex fact the bitter fact in the american policy this is really it is a confusion as a result of a confusion which exists because in my opinion as a professional soldier because. war is nothing can go off line of the plate if the line of supplies are not in your control or if they are not passing through friendly areas then you are doomed that simple lesson we learned from the annals of military history. so americans have shot themselves in the foot they are lying when they say there we can create an alternative route from. the pond all because pan and down to understand. and i would not recommend that these countries would get into this fray because if they do then the followed will be on them and you know this in the war that it can travel across the borders so it

would be best for them not to get involved in all this the arab world is up in arms and the issue is not said to various other libya is not yet fully we have still to see which way the winds blow in libya we have in the syrian issue we have many of that issue so i don't think it's really realistic to think that they are they can open another front against pakistan pakistan is not an ordinary country it's not iraq it's part of understand why it is done can resist and then whole region will be turned into an inferno it will light a fire which they will not be able to control so i don't think it is possible for them to to think of that pakistan pakistan has now announced it is cutting off supply routes and demanding that the us vacate the shamsi airbase and the international forces continue its operation to twenty fourteen do you believe the americans will attack pakistan's tribal areas again in the future about wily

pakistan hold of a pan pakistan has told them go away from something with that with pakistan and virtually told them that whatever understanding secretly existed between us that is now out and if pakistan does not cooperate. drone attacks cannot go on there maybe just one or two but the scale at which they are taking place now it is not possible to maintain that scale so pakistan has now all the advantages pakistan has not to put conditions number on india will not be in a stroller the proxy power because that will create and i am warning this for the russians and for the regional countries if india gets a place larger than life in afghanistan you will have another state of israel there and it will create problems for the whole region probably iran for. translation countries for pakistan and particularly for china so this is going to

be a lot of problem ok now that is one what pakistan must sit by assad must say that there will be an even handed policy between us secondly pakistan must not insist pakistan must open of course goldenbridge must be left open if they want to withdraw it is good for pakistan the sooner they go the better for pakistan and for everybody else also in the region except india and except israel now if they agree that we should be given the same skater's nuclear status as india it will lead to more demand because that says sword always hanging on pakistan's nuclear. and we should say we have we had a declared deal killer power you have to accept our position put us in the nuclear club along with you and other countries this is another condition third condition that we should put to them that please tell india that if they want a most favored nation state of whatever it is they must certainly kashmir issue

according to the will of the people it's human rights issue it is the right of a nation and they are simply ignoring it because america is not interested in settlement of kashmir issue. and finally we should say that your embassy here is not it's a war time embassy within are your fighting. and you have maintained your troops inside your embassy you have built the barracks of the police now cut it down to only diplomatic level like any other country like for instance russia now the future problem with our problems are because of american presence and of others so we must say that as quickly as possible you should go we will help you we will open the routes for you but on certain conditions conditions so we have to be are in a new eminently good position and today there will be a lot of people i was just having another walk. that will be isolated this is this

is diabolical nonsense. nobody can be isolated because if it is the it is nato which is isolated in afghanistan today it is not partisan with the right where i don't know what they're talking about so we should not be afraid of isolation russia has come up with a very good friendly gesture that they are prepared to give us five billion million dollars of aid to five hundred million dollars for our steel mill america has never done any such thing for us america never to get one of the things that package will or package in fact they block our with so not all of that we have identification friend in for it is china are a shock combination with other countries of the region. leaving india out unless india wants to come on board if they want to come in well and good but they have to settle me first and then only they can come in so i think we have a very good position at the moment i think it i look at it very positively and americans will have two years because they have only supplies of fifteen days at

the most in afghanistan today and if we can hold our breath. for fifteen the they will come begging to you and they will say that please we are prepared to give concession maybe all concession they don't give but many of these concessions we can expect from them today. magine assets that the damn phone watches show every single mom. and waiting for you to stumble. i saw a man with a video camera so i moved over and he phoned me. you know we realized there were following everyone from early in the morning.

of his home team hinkey after united league match on saturday as he prepares to return to demba from cos the ref has more. europe's arguably best number five player hume kids center team of famous golf he's only the seventh russian to play in the national basketball association he signed a three year deal with the new york knicks in twentieth's and but was then traded to the denver nuggets where he still under contract must go over thirty huge kids hearing the lockout in the n.b.a. but he always knew that as soon as the standoff was over he would be on the one of the first planes back to the united states your roof i've shown here in russia what i've learnt in america or tournament on the n.b.a. are two different leagues if you get to see at least one n.b.a. match then you know right away that it's wrong to compare it to anything else. at twenty five years old team if a had already become a living legend in russia and the moscow region in particular despite knowing that

his services are required in the n.b.a. asap most golf didn't hold back in his final match for him keep picking up sixteen points four rebounds four assists and two blocked shots it's earned in an impressive performance to ensure his side maintains a one hundred percent record in this season's united d.t.b. league give us a little so. with but for can do a little with it so this is just of them all of them will be. small kids or they'll tell the whole small kid. he is with us by phone in the future just because it's most useful loss of college and so he puzzles told us that the. team of famous golf took part in his level matches for denver this year but has still not had a chance to display his full potential on the court as he has not been in the starting line up yet however he has been more prominent during his time with the

new york knicks averaging thirteen point five minutes per game in his thirty four appearances so if all goes well with his current club we could possibly see the censored. in different colors when his contract expires we're going to talk about him a bit. and have you know whether you'll be a free agent i'm absolutely sure that the obit a lot of the ways you love him and i mean issue that needs no one to. receive him back because he did a good job and needs some of you the fans of nice as he said no no no no no the four making can number twenty five is dedicated to his new club the n.b.a.'s denver nuggets same in-close so much during the lockout his mind is now probably already in colorado where it's hoped he'll reach new heights and make his family friends and country proud and knows what to do in order to approach the sixty six n.b.a. season in top shape you know where you start training

a soon as i arrive in denver it's pretty important to get a climatized quickly especially in ten for because it's the highest city in american basketball and it's harder to breathe if you're not used to such altitude so the first week will be tough that's for everything else well i'm returning to my old home and hopefully my old life to timothy will not be all alone in denver as his wife is taking the transatlantic trip with him now from our friends in denver are already waiting for us where settled there so when we arrive i'll probably be resting for a few days and getting used to the time difference after spending five months here in russia do you still look out in the n.b.a. russian star center to see what they must go he's making his way back to the north american league the twenty five year old will certainly be the missed here at home but it's highly unlikely that anyone will hold a grudge against him for representing russia in the world's top basketball league remonde coffer of artsy moscow region. not is also the end of the sport we've got
