we're talking several days after the e.u. introduced oil sanctions against iran and i know the iranian leadership has responded by saying the sanctions would do more harm to your advantage to run. still since iran gets seventy percent of its revenues from oil do you have any fears about negative social reactions including strikes as people may lose their jobs do you take this somehow into account in your work. that these speculations are new to our country and our government or the power of the people all iran's ruling bodies are in power as a result of popular voting therefore our government and are all for it is a completely popular and our people have participated in all areas and spheres of our life from the very start of the revolution therefore as i've said there's nothing new about these talks which are actually quite outdated and irrelevant nonetheless they keep speculating on this matter trying to stir up psychological warfare inside our country or in the countries of the region or probably among

people of their own countries that have enough of their own problems attempting to find someone else to blame for them we don't sell that much oil to europe and our european accounts don't have that much money. the u.s. and the west as a how do not conceal that one of the main tasks of these sanctions is to get the oil prices for the iranian oil lower that's decreasing their revenues from the oil iran saudi is the well at two we used to manipulate the political situation. i believe they've made a big mistake as this action results in turbulence for the oil and energy markets this very factor can result in oil price growth in these conditions the west should expect the drop in the euro rate and the euro market this new decision will result in further economic problems which as we can see have affected them already. and so

far they've been unable to find solutions oil and energy markets will experience instability and turmoil and this factor can boost prices for oil and energy products and jeopardize the market security but this is quite difficult for the markets which going by previous experience is used to consuming certain kinds of oil and energy and this also brings up technical and economic issues at the same time we're not worried for around at all we've ensured our efficient planning in advance and with god's help we will continue moving forward that the decisions taken today by the west unilaterally will result in the escalation of their own economic problems. iran ians nav as the rankins with the aggressive and military rhetoric being built up by the west that they aren't as i've said these words aren't new these speculations have been going on for thirty years and there's no news in it to the iranian people the people of iran are in charge and they always participate in everything we don't sense any problems inside the country. if i may

i would like to ask you about the recent killing of a nuclear scientist there have been other similar cases and as far as we understand the investigation into it has not made great progress so far why have there been no substantial results and who may be behind the killing. of this is clear is day and they admitted mossad and the cia as well as some european security services don't like to see nations progress they would like to have control and a monopoly over everything the great a rainy a nation and follows the path of searching for new technologies it wants to stand firmly on its feet by means of its own strengths and produce its own knowledge they disapprove of this progress and they don't want to see other nations develop themselves the fact that they come over to such people's homes or attempt to murder an educated and broad minded university professor highlights the grave nature of their situation. demonstrates that the us and israel have disgraced themselves in

this matter they speak of human rights and at the same time they officially perform terrorist attacks and promote state terrorism expansion. in their slogans we see their idle talk on fighting terrorism their deeds however do not match their words they brought their troops to afghanistan under the pretext of defending human rights and fighting terrorism and drug trafficking but drug crops have increased forty fold since the americans got there the number of casualties among innocent men women and children has increased significantly and so has the level of instability in the region we actually witness terrorism development in the region with drug mafia and drug related revenues have grown as well we see contradiction between their words and deeds. the scientists assassination will only make the iranian people stronger and more focused on their goal. people understand that they've chosen the right path the one of scientific progress the adversary doesn't

want to see this happen as it would cause harm to them physical annihilation of people in full daylight as a sign of the adversary is complete powerlessness and despair. i now that iran is having parliamentary elections in a month in many countries not only arab ones election may be used as a way to create provocations there are always some people unhappy with election results and this discontent made snowball i are concerned by this that a similar scenario man followed in iran. no thank god we've had twenty nine elections to date and this election campaign will be our thirtieth election and it will take place an absolute peace and security like all the previous ones because our dear fellow citizens in all the regions all the cities and villages will willingly come to polling stations and cast their votes to designate a bed delegates to parliament to serve the purposes of development and prosperity for our country. that's the last. as you noted r.t.

has been comprehensively covering the situation in the arab countries as we have covered the wars in libya and syria we often heard complaints from the leadership that the intelligence services of other countries have stepped up their operations on the territories of the countries concerned in the past year the way many are ledged mercenaries in syria and libya who could see with our own eyes that some people were apparently not libyans but fought on the side of the rebels can you see any increase in the operations of intelligence services from other countries or any attempts to penetrate your territory at least in recent years since the latest events in the arab countries began. you see foreign powers and other enemies are at work everywhere they might also be present in our country but we do not feel we should worry about this of course we should look out for superpowers and our enemies are attempting to interfere in the home affairs of arabic countries especially in syria and in all countries where the people are in charge of running

their nations they must keep track of such attempts. at always. it's been about a year since the arab spring began at first even the iranian leadership hailed the movement in egypt in libya as expressing democratic sentiments now that one year is passed the attitude towards the events around your country has changed do you still believe those are people are driven by their own democratic ideas or do you see hunt of other countries in the events of the arab spring has. support any popular movement as long as people's demands are legitimate the imperialistic regime of world supremacies is obviously trying to lead people away from the right path and neutralize the popular movement or transform it in favor of their own interests and the pure straightforward and righteous path that people have been following in all countries of the region however is stipulated by their willingness to defend their rights which is a. gypsum

a demand from iran's viewpoint. can one say that the instability in the region has considerably increased in our particular jobs trafficking. yes afghanistan is certainly the focus of narcotic plantations now the americans and europeans are there and since they came narcotic drugs production has increased forty four world and it's a financial source for most terrorists who infringe the security of central asian states the states of the region and russia itself it's a threat not only for iran but for the region at large and russia if russia fails to keep an eye on what's going on next to its borders and around the country this threat will most probably become a serious problem for russia itself it's a fact that both iran and russia host the main drug trafficking route where at the beginning of it because the drugs first penetrate our country then follow to turkey and then to europe on the other hand russia is also on the route that its northern end because the drugs penetrate russia through central asia and then go to europe

we suffer serious losses on this route more than three thousand seven hundred lives have been lost in the attempt to resolve this issue. given we as humans are convinced we have to go on with this ruthless battle so as to save our people and despite the fact that the world community does not lend us necessary assistance in this cause we're alone to bear most financial costs and human losses in order to continue the struggle shut down the borders and blockade the territory inside the country in order to prevent the trafficking so it seems iran and russia will have to take responsibility for the problem themselves. with. the pairing for this interview several colleagues approached me at r.t. asking if there was going to be a war between iran and the usa which as you know on film. let me say this again all those fabrications are not new to us the islam. republic

of iran is a strong power capable of defending its regional security fully and the iranian people being a great and powerful nation are not afraid of those futile threats. thank . you. i think. you know sometimes you see a story and it seems so you think you understand it and then you glimpse something

a strategy and triumph over rafael nadal is the best win of his career he outlasted the spaniard over five sets in just under six hours and what turned out to be the longest grand slam final in history the serbian came from a set down to clinch the next two and looked in control in the fourth set. but thrilling comeback by nidal saw the spaniard force a tight decider and lead for two. however djokovic hit back and eventually converted his first match point to win it seven five and seal the marathon match in five hours and fifty three minutes the final score then five seven six four six two six seven seven five the titanic tussle is the longest grand slam final and the longest ever match it is truly an open djokovic is only the fifth man to win three major titles in a row the twenty four year old also been in all six of their matches last year all

of them finals but djokovic rates this win as his best yet and i doubt says at the moment untouchable. next to this one because it's just. the tournament that i always dreamed of winning. but this one i think. comes out on the top because just the fact that we played almost six hours is incredible incredible the year was the longest finals. here and the fact is. making me cry really. now he's the best of the world. that's how. so the history is. the study says. he has a patent on the history today winning for winning. one of the world will see were for heroes as well just before that russia. lost the mixed doubles finals she and

a playoff with snedeker where on the second extra hole stanley just missed his part . to hand snedeker that title and the million dollars in prize money. really you're walking out there to refocus to really get back in the new turn it doesn't matter if this was you know you're going to back my way into the playoffs i need to make sure already deployed i did hit some great shots made some good parts and just very very fortunate to be where i know for sure. robert's rock was a surprise when at the abu dhabi championship he shared the overnight lead with him for words going into the final day and the two were neck and neck early on with both thirty two of the opening three holes but good staying crumbled with two straight bogeys while thirty four year old rock who is ranked outside the top one hundred proceeded with confidence although he did have some bogeys also hit some birdies and finished on thirteen under par over a one stroke player mcelroy their u.s. open champion birdie to his last hole while woods ended up in
