for exploiting soviet nostalgia with pensioners a discontented industrial working class no not broad for its red flag. and the communist party of the russian federation election two thousand eleven on r.t. . hello again this is the headline. russia awaits the verdict of its people with their ruling united russia party appearing to be clear winners in the country's parliamentary elections as counting continues but so far falling short of an overall majority after a big drop in its chair and of course the latest results and analysis as the country decides. also 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. the week's top stories the one human rights commission of

calls for international intervention in syria but russia and china about against the resolution saying foreign meddling with only cause more bloodshed. and up next as u.s. pakistani relations fall deeper into crisis following a deadly nato air raid on a pakistani border post talks to the country's former head of intelligence hundred . 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 hate giving state of 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 one earthquake the other day 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 finally on when. they're now trying to. prove one gone through this tumble conference in the morning is an extension of with them will that somehow india should. winstrol as a pop 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 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'd been giving for a 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 which could go on . 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 the polls in november next year so that is how the calculation is being done and the sixty seven percent vote 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 iran to which is tied in pakistan's nuclear program and nuclear assets 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 the 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 knows that as soon as obama pulled out troops he is 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

a 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 your control or if they're 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 because it is planned all because plan 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 a large 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 and 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 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 again pakistan has now all the advantages not to put conditions number on india will not be in the stroller the proxy power of the calls 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 problems ok now that is one what pakistan must said 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 fold 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 settle the 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. 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 our part for we must say that as quickly as possible you should go we will help you we will open the doors for you but on certain conditions on condition so we have are in a new eminently good position today there will 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 butter sandwiches i don't know

what they're talking about so we should not be afraid of isolation russia has not come up with a very good friendly gesture that they are prepared to give us five billion million dollars of aid or five hundred million dollars for our steel mill america has never done any such thing for us america never given us any such package without backing in fact the block out of it is so now that we have identification friend in for it is china are a shock combination with other countries of the arctic 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 kashmir first and then only they can come in so i think we have an 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 supply of fifteen days at the most of our standard it and if we can hold our breath remain steadfast for fifteen

days they will come begging to you and they will say that we are prepared to give consent to maybe all confession they don't get but many of these concession we can expect from them today.

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 thirty keep kids during 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've shown here in russia what i've learned 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 i at twenty five years old to my fate 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 to pick it up sixteen points for rebounds four assists and to block shots it's earned in an impressive performance to ensure his side maintains

a one hundred percent record in this season's united the team league he was in need of and. so he's a better chance with it but for can do a little with their feet so this is just of the moment maybe a small kids what they're telling old small kids but you know if i think it's with us that's what's in the future just because it's most understand this loss of it's holidays so here because this is what i told these at the. they must 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 sensor in different colors when his contract expires we can talk about him a bit one year and have you know when you have the free agent i'm absolutely sure

that there will be it a lot of them so we should love him and i'm going to show that needs no one to. receive him back because you're doing a good job and need some of you the fans of nice as you said there are a lot of now the former if you 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 knows what to do in order to approach the sixty six and be a season in top shape you have the cream of the swells and i will start training a soon as i arrive in denver it's very important to get a climatized quickly especially in ten ver 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 because 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 n.b.a. a russian star center team a famous golf is 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. i think. sure is that some of the i can tell you is a good model there's the taliban bad guy going for the exit after ten years of an
