welcome back you're watching are to live from moscow here's a reminder of the top stories hopes fade of finding any more survivors from russia's oil rig disaster with dozens still missing two days after the drilling platform sank in icy waters that says the last of the fourteen crewmembers found a why and have just arrived back on land. signs of fracture within the syrian opposition while some welcomed the government's decision to let observers into the country others slammed the deal with the arab league they are instead calling for an air of military intervention to protect civilians while the syrian authorities persist they are fighting extremists armed groups. three months since the start

of anti-corporate protests in the u.s. the occupy movement is still gaining momentum that's despite police heavy handedness and some critics claiming the rallies would never a last into the winter. and north koreans are paying their last respects to their late longstanding leader kim jong il that's as the neighbors of the reclusive nuclear states stay on high alert fearing his death will spark instability in the region. well next we'll speak to the former chief of the u.n. nuclear watchdog to discuss that security situation in and around north korea. well i'm joined by mr hans blix from stockholm mr blix chair to international

atomic agency for energy agency for sixteen years and was the head of the u.n. inspections team in iraq prior to the second iraqi war mr blix it's great to have you with us sir now i'd like to start with i say latest news came young male who during who seventeen year old rule north korea has emerged as a nuclear state has died of a heart failure now his son is the next national leader what do we know about him are things going to stay pretty much the same morris' regional security under threat how vigorously will he have push for nuclear weapons. well we are generally rather dinner and about the architecture of the power building in north korea. but the change has been underway for some time but of course we'll keep you on your. growth and figure is. there

is always a risk to in such a structure that can be changes so i think it is important that the outside world. does not make them for us because they will feel themselves in a situation of weakness and then the threats from the outside lied to them provocative for the last few years iran was number one nuclear and before the united states do you expect maybe a shift of interest from iran to north korea or does a country need to have oil as well to justify that much attention from the west. no i think both cases are of great importance in the north korean situation first of all we know that within artillery range for all of north korea so even without nuclear weapons the situation there would be a risky one and if north korea were provoked at here there could be

a risk also of encouraging their. forces in japan. i don't see that now. but that would be a risk in the case of iran. on the other hand we see that already in. their work in iran to develop a capacity. has increased threat enormously and there is a great arms race going on. and we hear who works in israel and in the united states saying that they should bomb iran others say that they are all the nuclear installations are and that it is meaningless. to the presidential candidates that he thinks to work for a regime change but i don't think he explained whether he would like the a regime change to be the afghan. or the iraqi model but also

the service is very similar similar to what happened in iraq. could we be seeing the new iraqi scenario unfolding here as far as iran goes well there are some similarities in the. escalation of the language and the threats. that we had in the case of iraq and now having case of iran on the other hand we must remember that in case of iraq they talked about. weapons that in fact did not exists. today they are talking about iranian intentions of nato and they may not exist. but the difference is that iran certainly has a lot of nuclear installations iraq did not have that but in your own opinion is iran of any imminent threat to any nation at this point i

don't think so really and. it is good true that you are merely god has come out in the very a very bad language about israel wiping israel off the map of the world but i think most people with me think that he is really talking to the arab street he has one wanting to destabilize arab states that have supported the united states. iraq iran does not have a track record of aggression in fact there was iraq that attacked iran so i don't see an immediate threat from iran but i can understand that israelis are nervous but the u.s. and israel maintain the latest i ate a report provides very strong evidence that iran seeking any nuclear weapon. here's the question do you think iran has a nuclear weapon no i think

a nobody really thinks they have a nuclear weapon and i think one must read that report rather carefully what they say is that they see some evidence that could it could be explained if they were dealing with a weapon or a mere weapon and that there seems on the other evidence that it's very hard to explain unless they were working towards a weapon. but they have not said that they established that iraq or actually intends to do it they might stop short of a weapon well judging from your experience how shit this intelligence be treated and how far can actually i a go in checking the credibility of such intelligence well they do are not the average sit here in the iran and it's a big country and many places can be hidden so i think there are limits to what

they can find out but that doesn't really affect what the outside world should do in my view they must continue to talk to iran and to persuade iran that they will not need any nuclear weapon nor do they need any enrichment capability. if some european says the u.k. and france and germany started such talks and they have been expanded to also russia and china and the united states are participants in it and i think that is the wise road to go they have offered iran some good things and i think they could offer more things there is also on the way a big conference about a nuclear weapon free zone in the middle east which will take place in helsinki next year and or originally the idea was to get the israel to do away with this nuclear weapons but i think if this conference were to try to do

away with the israeli nuclear weapons and uranium enrichment capability and get the other states in the middle east to come along then that might be a more hopeful future you know many believe that iran actually may be willing to get to a point when it's able to produce a nuclear weapon but doesn't actually do it unless its security establishment is that a likely strategy. it is possible we know from the case of israel that they do not admit that they have nuclear weapons they say that they will not be the first three introduce nuclear weapons in the middle east maybe one day the iranians will say that we also will not be the first to introduce nuclear weapons in the middle east and maintain the situation ambiguity but i think it would be better if all the parties came to the conclusion that they should have neither nuclear weapons nor

a richmond capability and israelis would be in were secure they would be alluring now that say saudi arabia and egypt might also go for richmond's and iran certainly should be nervous that is aliased might bomb them just as israel did iraq in the 1980's and syria in two thousand and seven what is the likelihood actually that israel may be at this point now that it has isolated itself from turkey also from egypt it has disappointed sarkozy it has disappointed obama very strong rhetoric going on back and forth between iran and israel what is the likelihood that it has become more dangerous and maybe it will actually show for the first time that in the us hast it does have nuclear arsenal and use it probably to bomb iran well it's hard to judge some in some people think that this kind of language and threats by the various individuals in israel and also by hawks in the

night to say that it was the arabians from their present course. however i am somewhat doubtful that one can scare a country away from. nuclear weapons i think that carrots are better person aiding them that they can gain quite a lot by staying away from weapons and from enrichment. saying there will be a point where i will be convincing israel not to use its nuclear nuclear arsenal i think the israelis are very well aware of their game its weapons and even when they talk about bombing iran there is nothing to suggest that they will use nuclear weapons for it and i very much that if anything came to a war that no nuclear weapons would be used and it would also be a very bad if they attack the civilian nuclear reactors that iran has in bush or

but any kind of attack i think is. in the middle east. not sitting in. their sons they will have a counterattack of course. in the united states in the war so it's a terrible fire that they are playing with. and one last question why do you think iran is so reluctant to accept all the incentives offered to them by the international community is it just not simply enough well it may be a question of pride also i think that the western states that have talked to them some sometimes sounded rather high handed they have said that if you will suspend your to richmond we may be willing to sit down with you. told they are a proud people and many others are and i think that the. they

will have to talk to them say important partner for important states state that they are and to discuss with them what would they gain by abandoning your richmond they can gain a lot and i do not see that they have much advantage on their richmond because they can import the fuel they need from russia or from other places they have owned it to nuclear power reactors this country sweden where i'm standing now we have ten and we imported route cheering that says. it is cheaper so i don't see iran would loose very much by doing away with it there may be a lot of pride in this mr blix thank you very much for this interview.

the issues really are going to take three months for chargers free. richmond free. three stooges free. old freeboard just loaded video for your media projects a free medio dog our teeth dog tom. soon which brightened

a few new songs from phones to pressure. these from stunts on t.v. don't come. how the fate of finding any more survivors from russia's oil rig disaster with dozens still missing two days after the drilling platform sank in icy waters bads as the last of the fourteen crewmembers found alive and chose to ride back on one. sign of the fracture within the syrian opposition while some welcomed the government's decision to let observers into the country other slammed the deal with the arab league there instead calling for an arab military intervention to protect civilians while the syrian authorities persist her fighting extremist armed groups. north koreans are paying their last respects to their longstanding. that's how the neighbors of the reclusive nuclear states stay on high alert during his death will

spark instability in the region. and three months since the start of the anti-corporate protests in the u.s. movement is still gaining momentum that's despite police having out of this and some critics claiming the rallies will never alas into the winter. that's what top stories here in our team let's see what's happening in sports here. hello there you're watching the sport and here's a taste of what is coming up. hitting stage and deny the dutchman is about to sign is the new coach of russian super rich side angie. clarke former israeli football captain cristiano dhoni is among seventeen arrested as italian police investigate a match fixing i'm betting scam. and spain in barcelona strike it down the day is

been arrested along with sixteen other people as part of an ongoing investigation into match fixing the inquiry is focusing on several matches in city over the past two seasons and three of the games involved former clubs. he was arrested on suspicion of destroying evidence although he denies any wrongdoing tony was banned for three and a half years earlier this year following an investigation. by the italian football federation that also resulted in atlanta being just being promoted to city at receiving a six point penalty under this latest probe three city am batches from last season are also under investigation but if he is home games against. and that leads me to the sampdoria the latest incident could be offered two hundred thousand euros to affect the outcome of a cup game which just in november prosecutors say those arrested have links with criminal gangs in singapore and instant europe. meanwhile

a similar one hold talks of manchester city on thursday about the possible transfer of carlos tevez madame president adly on again the army will travel to manchester to discuss a deal it's thought the english premier league leaders will let the argentine go on loan in january if the italians commit to buying him in the summer or their manager previous offer of twenty three million euros was turned down travis hasn't played the city since september after refusing to warm up in a champions league game with by munich. elsewhere spain and barcelona forward has had surgery on his fractured chin bag but is expected to be out for five months he suffered the injury during last week's club world cup which basso went on to win doctors saying good cases a player can recover from such an operation within five months but that would still mean don't miss the rest of the season with barcelona and could possibly miss out on the european championships this next summer the doctors say they've been impressed with the is there any progress and that she. will see the list of the

their place in the last sixteen of the copper del ray tonight the defending champions take on take a two goal advantage into their second leg with their division fit. and although reality overwhelming favorites and are playing at home. in reno expects a competitive. expect a good atmosphere. because we have a very good atmosphere. so i hope we can give them a big night because they deserve it because they were very very nice to us very very very competitive so i hope we can be. this for them to more probably not. good for your good experience for them and after that we have to play serious because two zero is not five zero zero or so with football and turned

to have disabled place in russia are keeping alive their dreams of playing at the paralympics despite missing out on next summer's games from costa red as the story . this is not your regular soccer ball it's much heavier and has special features for the visually impaired now the key to this game is to actually hear the direction of the ball and when a player kicks at all throws it it makes a sound like this. this is gold ball and along with foods they make up two different events at the modern paralympic games in russia failed to qualify for the london games from the latest european championship in turkey where a coin toss decided their fate after the match against the hosts thirty ended in a goal this draw. which we all knew that it would be hard to qualify for the london paralympics who knows what would have happened if we reached the semifinals but

they decided to throw a coin after our withdrawal with turkey instead of a penalty shoot out which is not very sportsmanlike so it's a pity. these guys know that they are strong enough to compete with the best however the luck of the draw at the european championship in syria is not the only factor hampering russia's efforts lack of support and little to no funding from football authorities and respect to government sports apartments adds to the already obstacle filled lives of these courageous athletes use the classroom sometimes we have to beijing for uniforms and even some of the trips to competitions like the latest presidents cup for example we had a loss training camp in sochi and had to play for our own way there as well as well hopefully the teams financial woes will soon be over but it's apparent that money or lack of it will never become a barrier for the guys who are not used to giving up that goes there are a good boy still doesn't have an official status within the sport of stories but

over the last seven years his team became five time champions of russia and the base of the national squad. a month off to my team defeated world runners up spain at the domestic international tournament and continued on beating the likes of england and germany and even greece financing was suddenly cut and the team was inactive from turn over until may so apparent in picture eames futile from the beginning the passion of blind football is evidence the first time delay arrives on one of the training sessions which sometimes can be more dramatic than any other olympic sport the medical wellbeing of injured players is in the hands of just one doctor was that all of her free time with that scene. is typical injuries for the visually impaired usually happen when they collide against each other and get bumps and bruises pulled muscle or a broken limb are unfortunately also a regular occurrence i didn't come across a player who mistakenly kicked the phone and had instead of the. visually impaired

football in russia is far from the level enjoyed by some other countries but this hasn't stopped the national side from getting the better of a stir. blish powerhouses of blind football success still largely depended on individual enthusiasm and rear axle to work on cost artie moscow. good luck to the man in the n.f.l. the san francisco forty nine ers the fence again showed their strength they sack the pittsburgh steelers quarterback ben roethlisberger three times in twenty points to three when i think i was delayed for twenty minutes after a transformer exploded and cut the power of the appropriately named candlestick park in california but when it got going again it was the forty nine is the fence the shine brightest four minutes in roughness berga tried to pass the carlos rogers but was intercepted and that happened three times the quarterback in the sky after the intermission the forty nine ers got a touchdown alex smith connected with vernon davis had not put san francisco thirty

three up and that offense maintain the pressure off this sank in the fourth quarter by running alvin smith. the forty nine is made the most of the turnover driving right down the field and finishing with a touchdown from running back frank gore twenty two points to the san francisco the final school. and in tennis venus williams is is a danke for the striker you know you've been in january because of health problems the former number one has pulled out of a s.p. classic in new zealand which is being held in the run up to the first grand slam of the year she is suffering from sort of grins disease which affects the system has to one hundred three in the world and have received the ball card to destroy the knife in which begins on january the ninth saying. that is all we've got time for for the moment more into as time stay with us so the weather is next.

here in bygone days sleds were vital to get around. but today they're more leisure than life line. one drives people to quit their modern lives and settle in remote woods. one finds them up to survive in the freezing cold. a new beginning in russia's nose discover the arctic circle on r.t. . to.
