relationships with. the former chief. 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 iraq 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 his push for nuclear weapons. well we are generally rather it dinner and about the architecture of the power building in north korea. but the changes be underway for some time but of course with kim jung un. group figure is. there's always a risk in such a structure that there can be changes so i think it is important to the outside world. does not make them over 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 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 places 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. they're

working in iran to develop it 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 work 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 all of 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 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 the various 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 want to want to destabilize arab states that have supported the united states. iraq iran does not have a track record of their 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 explain could be explained if

they were dealing with a weapon or a mere other 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 are actually intends to do it so they might stop short of the weapon well judging from your experience how shit 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 average see 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 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 those 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 there might be a more hopeful future you know many believe that iran actually may be willing to

get to a point stable to produce a nuclear weapon but doesn't actually do it unless its security establishment is that a likely strategy. it is possible though 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 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 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 too long iran well it's hard to judge i mean 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 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 than them that they can gain quite a lot by staying away from weapons and from enrichment. 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. in the middle east the. sitting in to twiddle their thumbs they will have a counterattack of course 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 has 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 of crowd 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 them 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 because they. 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 so i don't see iran would loose a very much by doing away with it maybe a lot of pride in this mr blix thank you very much for the center of you.

of us at the ministry and we've already started from the eleven of them with me on the way to do what you do once and surely all the federations reports on their board at the end of each season and publish their reports on budgets on their websites. anyone can access the information on the internet so we. will end with our russia's visually impaired footballers are keeping alive their dreams of playing at the paralympics despite missing out on next summer's games due to the toss of a coin from one cause or as has more. 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 food

they make up two different events at the modern paralympic games for russia fail 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 was because 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 cooling off at our withdrawal with to if you instead of a penalty shoot out which is not for a sportsman like so it's abusing them. these guys know that they are strong enough to compete with the best however the luck of the draw at the european championship in therapy 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 the things the bluster the sometimes we have to be seen for uniforms and even some of the trips to competitions like the latest presidents cup for example when we had

our last 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 goes to liberia devoid still doesn't have an official status within the sport of stories but over the last seventy years his team became a five time champions of russia and the base of the national squad. a month off to my team defeated road 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 toyota 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 with spends all of her free time with it seeing all three of those typical injuries for the visually impaired usually happen when they collide against each other and get bumps and bruises muscle or a broken limb are unfortunately also a regular occurrence i didn't come across a player who mistakenly kicked they've gone and had instead of the ball 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 us. abolition powerhouses of blind football with success still largely dependent on individual enthusiasm and rare acts of support among calls for a party moscow. for now more in just under two hours face job.
