russians to secure their political right. well when asked about the possibility of a military strike on iran a u.s. and israeli officials continue to say that all options are on the table in the midst of sky high tensions between the west and tehran we asked the former chief of israeli intelligence service for his take on the ongoing confrontation that interview is up next. when you have mistaken for and i gave before we hade israeli intelligence agency the most side mr halevi thank you very much for joining us here on our team a nuclear iran war with iran is there with the option yes there is a third option the third option is a non-nuclear iran with. an agreement an understanding with the iranians that they will not become nuclear. and that they will be reintroduced into the family of

nations from which they have been virtually expelled in recent months. under terms which will also take into account some of their interests and some of the. how possible is this option i think is very possible because i think the international pressure which is being building up in recent months is beginning to have serious effects inside iran on the economic side on the moral side. and i think that the basic interest of the people in charge in iran. is to maintain the position to maintain power do you think iran poses an existential threat to israel or any other state in the region. i am on record as repeatedly saying that i don't think there is such a thing as the existential threat to israel because i think israel is strong enough to protect it so to take care of itself and i think that ultimately it's not in the

power of iran to destroy the state of israel so what it does these way the leadership insist on presenting iran as this danger i believe that the leadership believes that in order to arouse international public opinion in order to mount pressure upon the iranians it's necessary to impress upon the world at large public opinion the national public opinion is. this is a serious international threat and i believe that in this context probably the leadership here believes that using the word existence will rings a bell which also brings you back to days gone by in the twentieth century. a rise of nazi germany the world war two and of course the holocaust and. these apparitions these. pictures these experiences recalled in order to impress upon the world that maximum pressure should be mounted on iran

does israel have a nuclear weapon. i don't know and if i knew i don't think this would be the opportunity for me to say something positive and definitive on that but i think that there is in the world an assumption there is in the world a feeling that israel has something up its sleeve and i think that this is something which is important in the present situation because it is part of the name of the game now is deterrence and i think it's very important to deter iran and if you run believes that israel has certain capabilities where it has it or not i think this is a. positive card in the hands of israel what would be if israel and the vatican both had nuclear weapons with me if i had. i've been asked that question before and i think it's a theoretical question. what you're alluding to is in the end is that has the time for israel to. change its policy of what we call the opaque.

methods of presenting what we have or not and i don't think that this time has arrived for the reason i've given before as far as the most scientists concerned would you define if coming to a mission as preventing war or weakening iran in the case that does happen i think that. it is the mission of the mossad to do everything in. its capability is true. make a. threat which has been posed to israel dormant what capabilities does the mossad have when it comes to iran where here again i don't think that it would be useful for me to hold lists of capabilities leaders of the capabilities which every intelligence organization has i think it's important to say that we have been involved in what we call a clandestine war for quite some time with iran and what's interesting about this war is of course that both sides have more or less preferred that the details of

this war the details of various events be not exposed to the public when you talk about can this time of war be killing everybody and scientists accidents in the ring implants computer viruses is this what you're referring to i'm referring to a whole range of activities i will not confirm anything which you have just now mentioned but i was being that there is a long range of activities that have been carried being carried on for a very very long time over a very long period of time and i think that the activities of registered on the other side very very significantly and i will not say anything more than that if the war was to break out on who side with turkey on the one hand it is a nato member but it's also at odds with israel turkey would not like a nuclear iran on its borders and i don't think that turkey in the end would lend

its capabilities or preventing capabilities to either side my guess is that in a situation like this. turkey would take a neutral position what if your mission is when you a hint of them aside was to promote ties between israel and less friendly states so how would you counter policy of what many say is israel's self isolation particularly with regard to its former allies egypt and turkey. look upon this in a different light than you have just. mentioned if i would look at the situation israel is in today compared to what it was in before the peace process began in one nine hundred seventy seven seventy eight when egypt launched its initiatives towards israel i think the two situations are not comparable we lived for thirty years from forty eight to seventy seven seventy eight in the situation of isolation we're not isolated today in the region we have our differences we have more than

just differences we have bones of contention with some of the countries like with turkey we have gone through a very difficult time and this was egypt is concerned egypt is also going through a very difficult time and i don't think that it's in the interest of egypt to abrogate the israeli egyptian peace treaty egypt does not need a war now on its northern borders since you retired from the side you have. interest among sunny weigh ins and some israelis to promote peace i have many iranians in international fora not had private relations or private contacts with the rain ians there are many iranians the way i see it who would like the present confrontation between israel and iran to gradually end and create a new situation the likes of which we had in from forty eight to seventy eight because iran and israel basically do not have bones of contention we know they have

issues territorial issues between ourselves we don't have other kinds of issues between ourselves we have ideological issues between ourselves and i think it would be wrong for iran to enable ideology to be the main driver of its policies and the calls of serious drawbacks which has been suffering as a result of putting ideological ideology on. front burner what are some of the discussions and some of the questions that all raised at these informal meetings you have the radios who say look israel has no right to exist israel should disappear israel is not a natural entity in the middle east and then you have the same irradiance coming the saying we believe that israel has a nuclear capability israel should sign the n.p.t. the emperor of ration treaty just as we have and should reveal what it has. called into the role of nations only nations and countries can be members of the n.p.t.

so you kind of on the one hand demand that israel should sign the n.p.t. on the other hand deny israel's right to exist and i've said to them that i believe that this is something which is unacceptable a second point has been israel has been sr done it's been recognized as a jewish state. and they have said to me look we didn't say that france in its title doesn't say the christian state of props or the christian state of britain or the catholic state of germany and so forth and i've said to them that why do you say the islamic republic of iran if you raise the word islamic we will raise the word jewish and they say no that's different why is it different this is the kind of. discussion we have had to put it that way sometimes very very. heated discussion in your opinion would it be good or bad for israel if assad regime forces. let me first say that israel has no way of influencing the results

of the present. events in syria i believe that assad is going to fall. and i think that ultimately assad will fall in a way which will cause a lot of bloodshed. and i think that this bloodshed will have enormous effects on the history of syria and maybe of neighboring countries as well. is very likely to have a new tune how will this play into israeli palestinian reconciliation efforts. first of all i'm not sure how much will have a new leader. secondly i don't think the show has been the most extreme of the leaders of the hamas he's also on record as saying that he's a temporarily to accept a palestinian state in temporary borders which is something which moves in its significance to a first step in recognizing the fact that the state of israel is here to stay my

view is and i know this is not the view which is shared by the government of israel at the moment but ultimately we will have to deal with the actors the way they are and i think there are those potential of finding ways and means of dealing with them in a way which will not insure the basic interests of israel i find highly of me thank you very much for joining us here on r t thank you.

a faster out of the blocks lucas oil stadium this time around manning combining with victor cruz for a nine eleven however new england responded and had their noses in front at half time thanks to a field goal and a touchdown after tom brady fed danny woodhead here. when the momentum stayed with the patriots after the. intermission stretching their lead to seventy nine when brady fod the ball to aaron hernandez for another touchdown but there is still time for a five and a pair of field go through the giants to within two points and they then took the lead with the late dr firstly marion manning in here catching a thirty eight yard pass from manning and that led to the decisive moment the patriots allowing out my broad short to school so they could get the ball back before the clock ran out but gamble though didn't pay off one last pass from brady file to find the man the ball going behind it drop the entire skate game i would then a twenty one seventeen triumph for the giants. this isn't about one person this is

about a whole team coming together with so i'm just proud of our guys proud of the proud the team the way we fought all year. never got the scourge kept their faith kept their competence in this spot to the area but i think everybody was just disappointed it's. you know this is not a. you know you win is a team you lose a bitch and you lose as a team and certainly wasn't one plays a reason why we lost today so everybody feels like we can go for. our set after the game. keep coming to this game and keep trying to rather come this game and lose and not get here so hopefully we're going to be back at some point we had a great year we just to make enough plays today. russian athletes are showing good form ahead of next month's world indoor championships and then because champion sealed off record at the biggest leap of the year at the russian winter meeting in moscow he cleared to meet isn't thirty six centimeters is the highest anyone has jumped this season before filing up what would have seen

a new russian record of two meet him forty one compared treat alexander shoots of came second seal of saying he takes a lot of confidence from his performance in front of the home crowd and will keep trying to break records. if i had not set the bar if i had stopped to thirty six then surely. i would not have any more tradition to keep trying maybe two thirty four would have been enough for me that i could have stopped there but i went on i will keep trying to jump to forty one. meanwhile another reigning olympic champion very bored chain finish just one second shy of a world record for the men's five thousand meter walk he took gold in beijing for the twenty kilometer event in which he's also the world champion but he tried his luck at the shorter discipline and excelled also looking good his triple jump. she's up to second in the world indoor rankings after a leap of six meters an eighty six centimeters after coming first at the under

twenty three european championships last year. while there was a surprise win for alexander in the women's four hundred meters the russians or the russian moved up to the distance from the two hundred meters and caught fifty one forty six the third fastest time in the world to share. tennis russia have their place in the semifinals of the fed cup after a three one victory over spain will play serbia in the last four after taking it in the lead on saturday eighteen russia were able to complete the job on sunday spain did have the deficit when world number thirty three ninety a patrol about lost in straight sets to carla suarez and six love six three but. finished by an off with a three sets win over sylvia so let's spinoza and that sets up a home semifinal tie in april against belgium three two also this uncertainty one small and whether she rap over will be available to play.

drivable sharapova is not her desire to play but the fact that she's participating in a lot of tournaments held in the states and if she has to fly back to europe for a fed cup match sure have trouble acclimating three to five days i wish the fed cup would be scheduled a week before a grand slam tournament and not one week afterwards when coups that saw the loss of momentum in today's match in the second set i also believe there was due to the physical strain she said to go through due to scheduling. well the czechs are the defending champions and beat germany for one to reach the other semifinal after leading two nil from saturday patrick of eight of a still the victory after coming down coming from a set down to beat sabine lisicki the czechs will now play italy next after they won against ukraine. an english football match united have failed to move level on points with league leaders manchester city so after

quite a remarkable three three draw with chelsea at stamford bridge they came from three goals down to earn a point jonny evans' own goal put chelsea one at the break but all the drama came in the second period goal from one matter and david louise mensch chelsea with three goals to be good but to wayne rooney penalties and how he and his header completed an astonishing comeback the draw leaves united trailing city by two points chelsea and i are only a point ahead of newcastle to a fifth after a two one win over aston villa blues boss on disappointed by the referee. if you want. to sleep and there's nothing to say about it the second one is very very dubious. or does that is the correct angle to make a decision maybe the linesman give it i'm not sure. but it's. very very unlucky for him to give a penalty like that. not sure if he's going to do for any of the universe but that

is the there is a wrong decision. now tonight's game sees luis suarez make his return for liverpool he's back for the game against tottenham are unfilled after serving an eight game ban for racially abusing man united patrice evra the spurs would take them to within two points of manchester united meanwhile semifinal on up has been decided at the africa cup of nations mali will face the ivory coast after beating a ban on a penalty shootout after the game had finished one one after extra time while garnett defeated tunisia two one to set up a tie with although after the summer g.m. thought his team was fortunate to get through. to tunisia more aggressive you know if you go first off. for one while the big game and i think we were. lucky to. be luck also counts when you see. him it happens in football.

a nice chip out of the rough here. and they managed to keep his cool on the greens to break to shot victory the lighted then changing for chines in the space of seven days. you know that's dog drink you don't serve the bear we're going to be ups and downs and you just can't it's too hard to. understand profits so much from support from so many people people who i don't even know going to really help me kind of put it behind me and move on and. you know it's going. meanwhile scotland's paul lawrie celebrating after winning macassar masters for the second time in his career jason de impellor hansen kept the pressure on lawrie de showing great skill with this long part of birdie the third the australian. would finish for back in a tie for second with pants and while laurie put in a masterful performance finishing on fifteen under for the tournament and that puts him back in the world's top fifty for the first time since two thousand and three.

it's a confidence boost there's a going up and playing nicely for a while you are sort of stuck in that ryssdal by the end of the year to start the season but to talk to and so you come here and you just keep going you know it's somewhat of just great and there's. action after the n.b.a. well bron james and dwyane wade led miami to a ninety five eighty nine when over the toronto raptors they scored fifty five points between them as the heat grabbed their tenth win in twelve games while waiting twenty five points on the night this effort putting them in front thirty seven thirty five while in the third quarter wade finished off chris bosh's pass to increase the lead to the sixty one fifty four bron james is also scoring for fun thirty points for him and all dropping the ball into the net here after norris coles pass and the raptors managed to run to cut the lead to three points in the fourth but it was not enough to stop the hate miami moving to within one game of chicago for the best record in the eastern conference. and that's all we've got
