thanks for being with us and how the error here's a quick recap of your headlines stalemate at the u.n. russia and china rebuffed the western backed draft resolution on syria with moscow saying it's vague the wording leaves the door open for foreign military intervention. rocked by a return to unrest a dozen dead and thousands wounded in egypt as protesters there attempt to loosen the military's iron grip on power. in russia hundreds of thousands gathered for rival rallies ahead of next month's presidential vote with massive pro and

anti-government marches. plus u.s. police clamp down on the occupy movement tent city and central washington is the latest to be evicted after a camping ban was brought and. iran is bracing itself against fresh western imposed sanctions in our interview up next to her as interior minister looks at the potential fallout from the ongoing economic attacks from the u.s. and its allies. the possibility of war between the united states and iran is being debated there around the world but what it is like inside the country to discuss that the endowed joined by iran's interior minister was the thought maha lot larger. thank you for your time. 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 move home to europe none to ron. 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. in. these speculations aren't new to our country and our government or the power of the people all around ruling bodies or in power as a result of popular voting and 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the very start of the revolution therefore as i've said there's nothing new about these talks which are actually quite outdated and irrelevant nonetheless they keep speculating on this matter of trying to stir up psychological warfare inside our country or in the countries of the region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 illnesses

and our european accounts don't have that much money. so you are stuck with this 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 thus decreasing the revenues from the oil iran sow's is the while 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 and this is quite difficult for the markets which going by previous experience is used to consuming certain kinds of oil and energy 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 in the decisions taken today by the west unilaterally will result in the escalation of their own economic problems. iran ians navaids 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 though 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 might 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 of follows the path of searched. infineon 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 it demonstrates that the us and israel have disgraced themselves in this matter they speak of human rights but 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 and drug reps 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 that 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 that it would cause harm to them physical annihilation of people in full daylight as a sign of the adversaries 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 am 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 their delegates to parliament to serve the purposes of development and prosperity for our country that's the last you know that 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 messner is in syria and libya who could see with our own eyes that some people were apparently not libyans but ford 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 what are the ways.

it's been about ts since the arab spring began at first even the iranian leadership hailed the movements in egypt and 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 driven by their own democratic ideas do you see hunt of other countries in the events of the arab spring has. support any popular movement. 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 a while countries of the region however it is stipulated by their willingness to defend their rights which is a legitimate demand from iran's viewpoint. can one say that the instability in the region has considerably increased they're not partake drugs trafficking well. 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 fold 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 the main drug trafficking route where at the beginning of it because the drugs first penetrate our country then followed to turkey and then to europe and on the other hand russia was 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. he was in when was in one of. the pairing for this interview several colleagues approached me at all t. asking if there was going to be a war between iran and the usa i was with you on phone. let me say this again all those fabrications are not new to us the islamic 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. which

key contributors skyrocket into new territory the patriots tom brady is one of the n.f.l.'s biggest game three times and the quarterback could join greats terry bradshaw and his own idol joe montana as the only signal callers with four titles while bill belichick could become only the second head coach ever to win as many rings signed a legendary steeler chuck noll new england mastermind understands the significance of each moment full well having been to the big dance many times as an assistant coach. special. your team together and training camp and all the meetings. but it's you know it's a long haul able to get here. it's a great experience. they're all special bellatrix counterpart tom coffee said

a great redemption story the little brothers world wide in the making as for sunday's game plans the giants will likely bet on their defensive line to wreak havoc and force brady to rushes through the make poor decisions that front for attack through the winning strategy four years ago and was also effective when the giants beat their upcoming opponents in the regular season the patriots do feature one of the league's best often though and battles in the trenches could be the match ups to watch new york receivers a key mix mario manningham and victor cruz also figure to give the patriots shaky pass defense a major fits the top story out of the patriots camp is the status of one of their top play makers rob gronkowski the record setting tight end has been nursing an ankle injury and a less than fully fit grown koski would mean enormous relief for the giants linebackers and defensive backs so a grudge rematch for the ages with several legacies

a world center for wrestling with athletes from all over russia coming into practice with some of the best sparring partners in the world in the last three olympics are wrestlers of one six gold medals and we have potential for more around thirty thousand children actively practicing freestyle wrestling held by more than eight hundred coaches. wrestling has become a noted export from dagestan just like brazil with its exceptional football players two thousand and eight olympic champion and shaheen is a native of dagestan but ended up representing thirty and happens to be just one of many locals who went looking for a shot of glory in countries other than russia. first i did not even think of performing for another country but everything changed after my jaw was broken and i lost my place on the russian team a short while later i struck a deal with a turkish club and began to compete there after i defeated all of my turkish opponents in the sixty six k. class they decided that i could perform for the turkish national team. sheen's

uncle is stuck here by hano is the coach of the turkish national team who are also in dagestan training alongside other countries for the upcoming summer games in london. and. for an athlete skin immense experience here every year they come from korea mongolia and even cuba dagestan has a great school of wrestling also only have the olympic training center but in any wrestling center here even the americans would come here they'd videotape everything and then leave. with the london games just around of course the great things finest are right here in russia's republic of dagestan the local school is considered to be one of the best in the world with four national teams currently gearing up for the london olympics this summer. a lot of the world's top wrestlers know each other's strengths and weaknesses very well and that's in large part thanks to

a combined preparation program offered here in dagestan the fact that athletes know the condition of their opponents before the actual competition is by no means a disadvantage for the russians as the country's olympic heroes try to pass on their fine wrestling traditions around the world. we should not lose what ancestors have left for us freestyle wrestling means a family where you can always find understanding and assistance if you lose those elements of our culture than our own people will not forgive us preserving those to dish and is our main goal over the last twenty years or so the number of the limbic medals won by a russian freestyle wrestlers has been on the up and the republic of dagestan was instrumental in that success remonde call sort of artsy. russia's republic of dagestan. that is all the sport for this hour and that's right leave you paul scott will be here in two hours time with more weather is next.
