hundred nominees for the nobel peace prize his nomination was put forward by the parliamentary group of the movement of the icelandic parliament and we're joined now from reykjavik by one of its members bridget a young star. so thanks for joining us here out of all possible contenders why do you think bradley manning deserves this prize how do you think its actions contribute to achieving world peace well i mean my part of the whole who is you nominate and we want to be that bradley manning this honor because through all he lacks least we don't know if it's that are responsible who are not but at least this person has been sitting in jail for needed two years where as he you know he's been women who are long whistle on war crimes and it's our opinion that it is not. a criminal have to blow the whistle work arounds or to blow the whistle on any crimes we feel better. now by these leaks for

example the radio club owner. the wall. and in particular the p. people that have. put their name to the war in afghanistan and iraq through the government need to know what is going to go in on them and by knowing what is going on there and we see this and can apply more pressure on our governments to be accountable for the crimes that have been conducted in our name and an hour talking to us to raise awareness of creation with private bradley manning rules only way too few people know. and the fact that you feel now for marshals it was only thought of as this week and. makes it even more important to people who follow his priorities which we feel that it's not going to be a fair trial and we feel about spies fall saying. for example the information

isn't good it was privately manning that leak that that is the cable guy. many people have got to see it all over the world to see and writing what i knew but if you look at verify it and i think it is extremely important at this stage and i love it we honor door to blow it up our world or not we do know. about the bradley manning case b. because of his in just treatment in the course of silencing all the people the courageous people that want to do their civic duty by reporting all crimes the corporate the state or military giuliana sargeant herself was nominated for the peace prize a year ago he didn't get it do you think manning has a chance or you're just trying to make a political message raise awareness of the issue. on primarily making

a political message but i didn't think of all the different nominees bradley manning has the as much chance as anybody of the many they could nominate obama. without him having actually done anything then i'm sure that they can. and you have the prize and then i'm sure that they of course will consider this minute carefully like any other nominee what determines that and who gets the nobel peace prize right now do you think it's the real merit in the work of promoting peace or do you think it's more politics. i think it's always been a mix of both. and of course many people have forgotten. the nominees or the people that got it this year or last year where it's really really amazing women and i think. you look at many of the people that are off their warped life you know and kissinger who. if you study his history you are possible by why

a person like you would get the nobel peace prize but you also see people really deserve it so i guess it's always. a hard decision to make i guess that the people behind the nobel peace prize will make the will also think you know what sort of impact can this prize have all of those that are fighting for peace because that's an ongoing struggle. you hasn't been able to achieve. what these people want to achieve even though it's there to back. into back without being persecuted and gradually. gradually destroying their culture and like and very serious situation there right now and so it's an ongoing process for anybody that wants to contribute to peace in the world . and i guess it's almost want to be qualified to some degree false peace just like

eight thirty pm in moscow these here are the headlines the e.u. seeking to impose tougher economic sanctions on syria's government after failing to boost pressure on president assad through a u.n. draft resolution that was blocked by russia and china. russia's foreign minister calls western reaction to the veto indecent and hysterical ahead of a trip to damascus aimed at finding a political solution to the ongoing crisis. plus ensuring greater political involvement for the people through the internet prime minister putin laying out his

plans to upgrade russian democracy a day after massive pro and anti-government rallies sweep the country. and pressure on all fronts of the greek coalition government in deadlock over adopting new austerity measures to a second to secure a second bailout while the e.u. says time for a deal is running out for the. next in the midst of sky high tensions between the way the west and iran over to iran's controversial nuclear ambitions we speak with a former chief of the israeli intelligence service for his take on the ongoing confrontation stay with us. when you have mistaken for him heavy before we hade our israeli intelligence agency the more said mr halevi thank you very much for joining us here on r.t. a nuclear. 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 and understanding with the iranians that they

will not become your career. 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. this 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 economics 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 you run poses an existential threat to israel. in the region. i am on record. repeatedly saying that i don't think there is such

a thing as an existential threat to israel because i think israel is strong enough to protect it 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 when it does these waited leadership insist on presenting iran as this danger i believe that the leadership believes that in order to arouse international public opinion and in order to mount pressure upon the iranians it's necessary to impress upon the world at large and public opinion the national public opinion 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 the run 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 a very important to deter iran and if iran believes the. 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 better if israel and demanded both had nuclear weapons only from your head. 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 old. method of presenting what we have or not and i don't think that this time is a road to the reason i've been before as far as the mossad is concerned we could define it's coming to mission me as preventing war or weakening a rag in the case that does happen i think that it is the mission of the mossad to do everything in. its capability to 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 list of capabilities i think needs the capabilities which every intelligence organization 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 kind of war be killing everybody and scientists accidents out of the ring implants computer viruses is this what you're referring to i'm referring to all range of activity is i will not confirm anything which you have just now i mentioned but i was serving that there is a long range of activities that have been carried being carried on for a very very long. over a very long period of time and i think that the activity is registered on the other side very very significantly and i would not say anything more than that if the war was to break out on whose side were to keep 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.

capabilities or preventing capabilities to either so my guess is that in a situation like this. turkey would take a neutral position what if your mission is when you a head of them aside wants to promote ties between israel and less friendly states so how would you see the current 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've 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 disconcerting 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 been meeting with the radiance is there a genuine interest among some leeway indians and some israelis to promote. i have many rainier's in international fora not had private relations or private contacts with the rainy and 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 which we know 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 it has been suffering as a result of putting ideological ideology on the front burner while some of the discussions in some of the questions that always 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 these same irradiance coming the saying we believe israel has a nuclear capability israel should sign the n.p.t. the improve 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 cannot 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 don't say that france in its title doesn't say the christian state or from us 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 force. let me first say that israel has no way of influencing the results of 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 the mass is very likely to have a duty to soon how will this play into israeli palestinian reconciliation efforts if at all personally i'm not sure how most will have a new leader. certainly i don't think the national has been the most extreme of the leaders of the hamas he's also on record as saying that he's willing 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 the moment that ultimately we will have to deal with the actors the way they are and i think the 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 our team thank you. but i'm. frightened for you. only i don't. know who we thank you so you get to mine. if you want to have sex go and have sex.

well with the. science technology innovation all the latest developments around russia we've. covered from los angeles to chicago to birmingham twenty trauma centers have closed since two thousand severe problem is not enough inpatient beds not on the third emergency department beds and not enough nurses this time than those that take care of all the people who are the only real health care system that we have in the city of los angeles is the los angeles fire department in fact when i started my venture as a firefighter i didn't want to be

a mass and i started out going to just do firefighting it's about eighty two percent of what we do the far the problem is medical but they had a rescue couple weeks ago waited four hours for a bit i've waited sometimes three hours but i wouldn't say same francis in lynnwood for four hours and fifty minutes standing against a wall of patients and we have a federal law that mandates that you can't turn no one away who seeks care in an emergency room. we have the most expensive health care system in the world and it's probably valued the least. wealthy british style it's time to. go. to
