mind you words want to brush as long as you should leave this finds himself red faced as the phone conversations threaten to damage his relationship with allies we've been paying but. i was content and space to develop nuclear weapons or trying to global concern perhaps the best person to turn to for expert analysis is the former chief of the unit on weekends he was tall going to be with the former head of next. 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. inspection 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 kian young is the next national leader what do we know about him are things going to stay pretty much the same or where general security under threat how vigorously will he have push for nuclear weapons. well we are generally rather ignorant about the architecture of the power building new north korea. but the changes be underway for some time but of course we'll keep you on your. growth and figure is. there's always a risk to the. structure that can be changes. i think it is important that the outside world. does not make them of us

because they will feel themselves in a situation of some weakness and any threats from the outside might have make them provocative for the last few years iran was number one nuclear enemy 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 places are of great importance in the north korean situation first of all we know that within artillery range from 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 their. forces in japan i don't see that now at all but that would be

a risk in the case of iran. on the other hand we see that already they have 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 then in the united states saying that they should bomb iran others say that they don't know where all the nuclear installations are and that it is meaningless. mr gingrich one of the presidential candidates says that he thinks time to do work for a regime change but i don't think he explained whether he would like the a regime change to be the afghan model of model or the iraqi model. but holidays are the only service is very soon 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 a 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 that 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 you give is true that you are merely dad has come out in

the various very bad language about israel wiping israel off the map of the world but i think most people when you think that he is really talking to the arab street he has want to wanted 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. report provides very strong evidence that iran is seeking nuclear weapon. here's the question do you think iran has a nuclear weapon. no i think in 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 is 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 their weapons 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 it or not the every city here in the iran and it's a big country and then it 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 and nor do they need any enrichment capability i'm here senator pearce 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 all originally the idea was to get the israel to do away with this nuclear weapons but i think if this if the 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 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 established threatened 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 to 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 says saudi arabia and egypt might also go for

a response and iran certainly should be nervous that israel is night 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 it us has 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 their us individuals in israel and also by hawks in the united states that it will scare the iranians from their present course however i am somewhat doubtful that one can scare

a country away from going for 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 but i think the israelis are very well aware of the game you're using 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 a very bad if they attacked their civilian nuclear reactors that iran has in bush or but any kind of attack i think the risk is a total flood conflagration in the middle east the iranian mullahs are 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 south 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 and that is a fairly sort of neo colonialist neocolonialist tone there of proud people and many others are and i think that the they they will have to talk to them and i say important partner for important states state that they are and to discuss with

them what would they gain by abandoning enrichment they can gain a lot and i do not see that they have much advantage on the richmond because they can import the fuel they need from russia or from other places. they haven't had to look up our act this this conscious way below where i'm standing now we have ten and we imported. it is cheaper so i don't see iran would loose a very much by doing away with it they may be a lot of pride in this mr blix thank you very much for this interview.

a big spending club but agent he spent not even hasan insists the former russian into coach won't be making a decision about his future until he returns from his holiday in africa in january angie had been manager since the end of september and up also reportedly approached former lokomotiv moscow both john and jane who are owned by billionaires three women cut him off or also be a big name players such as chelsea's floor on the lootera and salomon kalou although the club have not confirmed those reports. well meanwhile barcelona and spain striker babbitt beer is expected to be out for the rest of the season following surgery on his fractured left shin bone the thirty year old suffered the injury in the semifinals of the club world cup last week which were also went on to win don't to say via could recover within five months but he may yet miss euro twenty twelve over the dock to say they've been impressed with me as attitude and the progress. not care less than even if he don't mind of the player who noted he

had his gene boom broken and that very moment has been a very good since the beginning even when he was in the hospital and you're going home in japan with the president in front of him he started to ask questions one after another regarding what he should do when he would start and which one was the best method so he could start playing as soon as possible. camila alves tuesday night while madrid are looking to book their place in the last sixteen of the copper del rey the defending champions take a two goal advantage into their second leg against third tier rapid onset of data and although rail are overwhelming favorite and playing at home as a marine you still think it will be a competitive game. i expect a good atmosphere because we had a very good atmosphere. so i hope we can give them. a big night because they deserve because they were very very nice to us very very very competitive so we can be. this for them two more probably

a. good. experience for them and after that we have to be serious because two zero is not five zero two zero. zero zero means on the start of the traditionally busy christmas football program gets underway in england this tuesday night with rock bottom vault on a traveling to second bottom block burned by the pressure is firmly on the rise as manager steve kean while the wolves who are just a point above the relegation zone take on tonight's place nor each out of the meantime ac milan present at the other galliano is getting set to travel to manchester this week to discuss a possible deal for want to a city striker carlos tevez city manager about a month to me says the argentina star will not be allowed to join the serious side on loan in january because the club wants to sell him although blonds previous offer of twenty three million euros was turned down the two sides will meet on thursday to attempt to sort out

a deal twenty seven year old tevez hasn't played for city since september the twenty seventh for refusing to warm up and their two little champions league defeated by in munich but meanwhile coach mancini is focusing on staying top of the premier league city who stoke on wednesday just two points ahead of rivals manchester united is important to stay on the top. as important as they graze most every week but is important to state in the end you know this isn't because we know that can happen also that we can go in the second position you're in this is going to happen is difficult to stay on the job for thirty six game games. but we drive is possible. the margin is one of seven taking place on wednesday elsewhere fifth place are small data and in the last you can also see he lost only once or so far taken west brom everton face one z. and manchester united go to follow on third bottom wigan while liverpool want

sunderland travel to nil want q.p.r. to produce a valiant showing that defeat for the night is a factor not underestimated by the black cats boss martin o'neill. first of all of a lot of respect for the manager has been. an excellent manager for a long time in the game so you would know what to expect from his teams. and they could consider themselves. i think i was really having a look at that not just united you had a number of chances of course not just you know to have this world seem to me so i don't think the confidence would be good losing my game. let us watch elsie have played down any injury to captain john terry had a first day showdown a top of the thirty one year old son to heart had to be helped off the pitch during an open training session probst says he pinched an achilles tendon but is expected to be fit to go to white hart lane by the fourth place blues could leap frog spurs

into third with a victory. while back here in russia twenty eleven has been quite a year for today's can shake off the twenty four year old locomotive midfielder has been named russian player of the year while also becoming more of a regular in the national scene is richer than coffee with thoughts. well to difference a year makes told months ago denise culture coffee was just one of a number of talented russian midfielders however at the end of two thousand and eleven he's established himself as one of his country's key players in this position. this recall says there's no particular reason for his rapid improvements though he did pay tribute to his new coaching look my team will say caserio. the fact that the college believes in me is vital and when you have this belief it's much easier to play on the field than i remember back in two thousand and eight when i was playing and the coach at that time that i shared that i he didn't believe in me even though i was scoring regularly belief for me is everything's

been a little push or call has been like a my chief of a vast majority of his career two thousand and eleven has been a frustrating campaign for the team has been failed to live up to very potential however two should call has been perhaps a team's key plan and a formal coach anatoly push advance says denise is developing into an excellent midfielder. in the one you have so he's a very versatile player and has everything you would want to find in a modern day footballer defensively he is very sound while he is excellent for getting food and schools a lot of goals especially for midfielder i'm really happy that he managed to break into the national team and i'm sure he can continue to go from strength to strength . bush recalled was like a much each top scorer with eight goals which is an impressive return for midfielder. and that helped a twenty four year old break into the russian national team and he managed to grab his first of a goal for his country against andorra all denise but certain to be selected to

pick up a cut squad of the year in two thousand and twelve finals however he's taking nothing for granted. the deliver the i don't even want to think about trying to break into russia starting eleven at the moment i would just like to make the squad as there is six months till the euros get under way and a lot can happen in this time in the end it's dick of the cost decision and if he decides to call me up then i'll be delighted i got over two thousand and eleven proved to be an incredibly productive year for denise i was. the trend. is to be looking to improve if he continues to reach great he's currently going out he could become a key member to cap the catch russia shy of the euro two thousand and twelve championships which banned. tennis news now and former world number one venus williams is a doubt for the australian open in january because of an ongoing health problem was
