this is our moscow time. divisions within syria. welcome the government's decision to let observers into the country. outside of military intervention. fading hope of finding more survivors from. russia's far east the search goes on seven who were pulled alive from freezing water. one of russia's opposition leaders finds himself red faced. his relationships with

the labeled as. we speak to the former chief of the un's nuclear watchdog to discuss the current security situation in and around north korea you watching. well i'm joined by mr hans blix from stockholm mr blix chaired the 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 iraq war mr blix it's great to have you with us 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 or is 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 changes be underway for some time but of course we'll keep you on your. growth and figure is growing. and there's always a risk too in such a structure that there can be changes so i think it is important to do outside the 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 make

them provocative for the last few years iran was number one nuclear energy for 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 him there could be a risk also of encouraging. 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 we enrich uranium has increased threat tensions 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 for a regime change but i don't think he explained whether he would like the a regime change to be the half. or the iraq. but also the service is very similar similar to what happened in iraq. could we be seeing an 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 the case of iraq they talked about. weapons that in fact did not exists. today they are talking about iranian intentions of may or may or 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 true that your argument in a dog has come out in that area very bad language about israel and 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 wanted to destabilize arab states that have supported the united states. iraq iran does not have a track record of aggression in fact it 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 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 there have not said that they established that iraq or actually intends to do it so they might stop short of the weapon well judging from your experience how should this intelligence be treated and how far can actually i.a.e.a. go in checking the credibility of such intelligence well they do are not the every seat here in the iran. 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 an a 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 to 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 those to do away with the israeli nuclear weapons and the uranium enrichment capability and get the other states in the middle east to come along then there 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 are likely a 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 more secure. there would be a warning now that say saudi arabia and egypt might also go for richmond's and iran certainly should be nervous that is their list might bomb them just as israel

did iraq in the 1980's 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 it us has it does have nuclear arsenal and use it probably too long iran well it's hard to judge some and some people think that this kind of language and threats by the various individuals in israel and also by hawks in the nie the say that it was the iranians 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 the 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 do hope very much that if anything came to a war that no nuclear weapons would be used and it would also be very bad if they attacked the civilian nuclear reactors that iran has. but any kind of attack i think is a total conflagration in the middle east. not sitting in to twiddle their thumbs they will have a counterattack of course and maybe they will drag 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 have 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 part for important states state that they are. discussed with and what they gain by abandoning your richmond they can gain a lot and i do not see that they have much advantage on the rich man because they

can import. from russia or from other places they have to look up. this conscious weevil i am standing now we have ten and we import. it is cheap so i don't see iran would loose a very much by doing away with maybe a lot of pride in this mr blix thank you very much for this interview.

headlines on the divisions of syria's fragmented opposition after damascus decided to allow observers into the troubled country some have welcomed at the move. outside the military intervention that's me. despite fading hope of finding more survivors from a capsized in russia's far east the search goes on seven who were pulled alive from freezing water now arriving last. minute your words one of russia's opposition leaders finds himself a red faced sleek phone conversations threaten to dominate his relationship with be labelled as cowardly penguins. those are the headlines here and joins us next with

this is not your regular soccer ball it's much heavier and has a 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 food they make up two different events at the modern paralympic games 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 the 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 two if you 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 thirty is not the only factor hampering russia's efforts lack of support and little to no funding from football authorities and respective governments sports apartments adds to the already obstacle filled lives of these courageous athletes use the classroom sometimes we have to appreciate it for uniforms and even some of the trips to competitions like the latest presidents cup for example we had a loss training camp and so much it had to play for our own way there as well as well hopefully the team's 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 goshen the caliber of the voice still doesn't have an official status within the sport authority but over the last seventy years his team became a five time champions of russia and the days of the national squad. a month off to my team defeated world runners up spain at

enthusiasm and rare acts of support among koester of r.t. moscow. that's when i was sporting just on the terrace.
