market why not. find out what's really happening to the global economy with mike's cancer or a no holds barred look at the global financial headlines tune into kaiser report on our tea. party live here in moscow parliamentary elections in russia draw to a close with voting over in most of the country the focus is on whether the ruling united russia party receives the same overwhelming popular support it did four years ago we're bringing you special coverage here in r.t. over the next few hours. iran's military forces say they have shot down an unmanned u.s. drone in the east of the country according to a state news agency incident follows this week's tensions over students storming the british embassy in tehran in response to fresh sanctions and the u.k.

expelling iranian diplomats in retaliation. and the u.n. human rights commission of calls for international intervention in syria to protect civilians from the government's forces but russia and china voted against the resolution condemning the violation saying foreign meddling will only cause more bloodshed. as were the headlines and of course we will continue our special coverage of the parliamentary elections here in russia at the top of the less than thirty minutes from now but next as u.s. pakistani relations fall deeper into crisis following a deadly nato air raid on a pakistani border post altie talks to the country's former head of intelligence will stay with us for that special interview. 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 go. to the right wing. or the america they're trying to manipulate in biogas found that the political direction in the future after the draw should be more to the left and more toward the liberal kind of for dispensation but i think inevitably it is going to drift more to that eight giving status off or more where we're nation to india had already created a situation where the right wingers were very annoyed and. we are going to have

a very big rally in. 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 the other americans want to withdraw they have already declared thirty thousand out this year thirty first of december and more to go out and finally on when. they're now trying to. prove one gone through this tumble conference in the morning is an extension of well with them will that somehow india should. when stored as a pocket proxy power in afghanistan 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 fall out of the conflict which is going on between the white house and the pentagon on one side and new york on. and the indian lobbyist israeli lobbyist all of them are aligned with 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 turned against this war and eighty six percent was of the democrats which is the most part they want quick withdrawal. if we're bomber is to get some political benefit out of it he must get bulk of his

troops out of understand before he goes to the polls in november of 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 israel you want iran to which is tied in pakistan's nuclear program and nuclear efforts to broaden the watchful eyes of the western countries to whoever so there is a big 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 understand narcotic trade is going on at every huge volume ninety two percent of the world's requirement of our opium is being catered to by the by the of one production and then there is the military

establishment which know that as soon as obama pulled out troops he's going to cut the military budget so there are multiple complex factors which are affecting the american policy basically it is a confusion as a result of the confusion which exist because of in my opinion as a professional soldier because. war is nothing much. line of late if the line of supplies are not in work 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. for americans have shot themselves in the book they are lying when they say there we can create an alternative from illegal through rashard to call 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 is the irregular war that it can travel across the borders so it would be best for them not to get involved into 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 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 pakistan 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 do think of that pakistan has now announced it is cutting off supply routes and demanding that the us vacates the shamsi air base with the international forces continue its operation to twenty full team do you believe the americans will attack

pakistan's tribal areas again passion in the future about wali pakistan hold of a pan pakistan has told them go away from something with that with pakistan is what you 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 in pakistan has now all the advantages not to put conditions number one india will not be installed as a proxy power the called that will create and i'm warning this for the russians and for the regional countries if india gets a place larger than life in afghanistan you have another state of israel in 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 skaters nuclear status as india it will lead to more demand because that says for 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 is 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 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 wartime embassy within our you're fighting war against and you have maintained your troops inside your embassy you have built 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 our part we must say that as quickly as possible you should go we will help you we will open the works for you but on certain conditions conditions so we have are in a new eminently good position today there would be

a lot of people i was just having another walk. that will be isolated this is this is diabolical non-sense. nobody can be isolated because if it is the it is nato which is isolated in afghanistan today it is not pakistan we do like i don't know what they're talking about so we should not be afraid of isolation has come up with a very good friendly gesture that they are prepared to give us five billion million dollars of the five hundred million dollars for. america has never done any such thing for us america never to get one of the things that back it will outback in fact they block our with so now all of that we have identification friend in for it is jayanagar shah competition with other countries of the arctic region. leaving india out on lesser india want to come on board if they want to come in well and good but they have to settle cost 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 on to read them instead for fifteen days they will come begging to you and they will say that please we are prepared to give concession maybe all concession they don't get but many of these concessions we can expect from them today. watches you every single. thing and waiting for you. i saw a man with a video camera so i moved over and he found me some of them we realized

they were following everyone from early in the morning. the only chance to get rid of him. is to reveal him. me devil operation on our cheek.

give them the aggregate victory ahead of the us germany completed the podium in the ski resort of eagles while russia's second team were fourth fastest on the day. and finally with the n.b.a. lockout almost either russia's top team basketball stars andre keta lanka and sting famous golf away in the future to briefly play back in the native country and the monk also at the polls. europe's arguably best number five player he is 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 twenty ten but was then traded to the denver nuggets where he still under contract must go over third to keep 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 through group i'm 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'll know right away that it's wrong to compare to twenty thing else. at twenty five years old to know 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. a.s.a.p. mas 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 him an impressive performance to ensure his side maintains a one hundred percent record in this season's united bt believe it was a need of the team so he's a better chance with it but if i can do a little bit there for itself is just of the moment the maybe. small kids where they tell the whole small kid but you know if i think it's with perspective in the future just because it's most and this is the last of it hala just so here because this is what i told these at the. team of famous golf took part in his seven

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 scoring club we could possibly see the sensor in different colors when his contract expires we're going to talk about him a bit. and have. the free agent i'm absolutely sure that the obit a lot of the weasel was human and i have an issue that needs no one to receive him back because he did a good job and needs some of you the fans of nice was a bit of a loner now the form a thing 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 must go but knows what to do in order to

approach the six to six and be a season in top shape. you have a reverse osmosis start training a soon as i arrive in denver it's very important to get a time of toast quickly especially in turn over 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 miles golf will not be all alone in denver as his wife is taking the transatlantic trip with him because 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 end the a russian star center team a famous goal is making his way back to the north american league the twenty five year old will certainly be the master 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
