weapons. as the anti a stair to drive groups the spains importer students mash out more cuts and they've been abandoned by the government but a german minister says greece would be better off leaving the euro zone despite securing a new bailout. now several independent american intelligence agencies don't believe iran is building a nuclear bomb but international pressure over its nuclear program is still mounting when we talk to the former head of the u.n. nuclear watchdog who shares his thoughts on the issue. with the world's eyes focused on iran and nuclear issues both peaceful and norm peaceful making the headlines week after week interest in this subject is at a peak and where did many people go to try and get insight and answers but to hans

blix you're a former weapons inspector diplomat and politician you've been immersed in this world for a long time thank you for joining me. so we'll start off with iran top story at the moment it's very difficult to tell just how serious the crisis is from week to week is it a peak is didn't trough how serious do you think it is the moment or i think it is very serious you have american aircraft carriers in the gulf you have british and french vessels in the gulf you have. moral or general saying that they might close off the strait of hormuz so it is very tense and israel is saying that they have bomb iran bomb uranium nuclear installations and presidential candidates or also or seem to say yes we should be tough with iran implying that it

might lead to bomb iran it is a situation that cries for defusing a lot of prestige and a lot of injured pride and i think the more belligerent the outside world sounds to iran the more the iranian population will support its government very broadly as to what they like or what they think about the government other respects it is a dangerous situation how likely is it that iran is really going to say more we'll play the game we'll talk the talk but really we're getting a bomb and we don't care what anyone else is iran does not need a weapon against iraq today they don't need against pakistan against russia or against turkey so i don't see that. remember this pressure this gives me some hope that it would be possible to persuade them to move out of investment or to and to ensure that there will be no bomb making the question is how you do it and i don't think it has been done with all that cleverness i haven't seen all the

details but that i think it could have been done better i don't think they behaved somebody insulting to the rain as you say iran must behave itself as if it were an unruly seven year old boy sort of a neo colonialist too and this doesn't at all i think that western europeans the u.k. france and germany that were the first to go in with us at that time as a backseat driver they came up with rewards and say that yes this is enrichment is dangerous you should suspend it and we would actually give rewards for that and they came up with some useful things they said that if you would suspend enrichment we are willing to help you to get into the world trade organization that was important we were even they are willing to help you to build up there were civilian nuclear you want to have nuclear power no problem we are not against high technology in iraq we are worried about enrichment and they said we can facilitate investments in iran so there was some good this actually in their own tables and i

think that the bush administration was more dedicated to sticks. to carrots so they begin with some economic sanctions and some sanctions of traveling of urine and so forth. course we want to hear that yes we have to push more for sanctions that we have run the diplomatic path and then the sanctions remain and sound now we're talking about stopping all importing and maybe bombing but i think they're lost that imagination there are still things that can be done on the reward side have there for instance said to the rain is that if we have a settlement u.s. we resume diplomatic relations. have they said that you want to have a pipeline from from iran to india. well it was a settlement you could have it so there are some things that could be put on the table in a discussion the biggest thing i think would be if the israelis were to come up and say that look we are worried about your retirement we think you might use a bomb against us how about

a swap we drop and do away with our military nuclear weapons and you stop all the enrichment and it's saudi arabia egypt turkey all the others they agreed that commitments we will have no regrets but we have no reprocessing that is what you call a nuclear weapon free zone for the middle east and i think that's where the aim should be but if i mention that today they would laugh at me well this is the point i mean i let me just play devil's that with you for a minute that is one view nuclear free zone but as you say at the moment there wouldn't be this crisis if there wasn't the perception that iran is heading towards getting a nuclear weapon so some people have said that well perhaps it might be a good thing if iran had a nuclear weapon perhaps it might be a useful thing. i don't think so i think that any spread and the further spread further spread of nuclear weapons is not a good thing it is dangerous when there are many fingers on the nuclear triggers

and i don't like the israeli finger i don't like the indian pakistani u.s. or any of the things i bring which will reduce them at the same time i don't think that is the world and if iran were actually to come to a nuclear weapon israel says is the existential question for them i think not i think that the terence will act between israel and iran as it acts between india and pakistan. i think the israeli nuclear weapons would be somewhat neutralized in their effect by the existence of a weapon in iraq in iran i can see the risk that iran would peddled its nuclear secrets technology to other groups but that exists already so i don't think i don't think the world comes to an end with a nuclear having said that i think it is highly desirable that iran moves away

suspend the enrichment on the point that is a lot of your career has been spent looking at that very question how do you verify that how do you know where is this technical scientific evidence well they're actually making a bomb is not an easy thing i have not made one. lawyer not not an engineer it's not an easy thing but it's been judged that the most crucial element of the bomb after all is the explosive material and that is either enriched uranium to something like ninety percent or use plutonium and the iranians can enrich to twenty percent we know that they could enrich to ninety percent if they wanted to so the crucial point remains do they enrich to more than twenty percent do they stay at this and it is supervision of that in that respect i think we must say that the rains have been thoroughly good they have allowed inspection of they have not declared all that they should i think they have not lived up to their obligations under the safeguards agreement but they do inspectors are there and i think they

can and they have the means of seeing how much are they are reaching to what level they are rich so so long as the inspectors are there then the world will be assured that no they are not accumulating but here but of course they could they could throw out the inspectors one day or they could i don't think they can cheat very much many critics of inspection process is under diplomatic efforts would say that well this is really just a two zero. of nato of the u.s. and they're just there to get reasons to get excuses either for intervention or for sanctions what do you think about no i'm a strong believer in inspections international civil service. international an objective or. non political civil service that seeks or be active is something we need. and we don't need we don't want to have

a civil service that applies to the american audience when we were in new york i think we were given credit for trying to get to the truth and i think we deserve that we were absolutely trying to get to the facts you cannot be a hundred per cent but when you compare to what the u.s. and u.k. were saying about the situation in iraq and what we were saying we were much much closer to the truth the reality is you know if a doctor cannot have a good therapy unless he has a good diagnosis and if governments make the wrong diagnosis about is about iraq where about iran well how can you have the good therapy you as a civil service however you'd like. to call it give a diagnosis and as far as you're concerned the powers that be can do what they want with that but as you said perhaps those diagnosis have been misused. what do you

think maybe what you think is going wrong that there's a new element also in the i.a.e.a. inspections that is that came off to ninety ninety one because in ninety ninety one we realized that iraq just had been cheating we went to declared installations but not to other places and they were building things elsewhere so we said if intelligence knew about this if the cia knew about these things they should tell the yeah i can then ask the iraq and say that look we have heard this we would like to go there and then if you say there's nothing in them lift letters in so we then encouraged us and others to come with intelligence to the eye and they have done that he would great deal with iran now the i.a.e.a. for the i.a.e.a. this should be a one way traffic it should not be the prolonged arm of the cia because then it loses the confidence of the country as they go to but they can't receive it they can critically examine it and of course the cia intelligence can always try to fool

everybody off of information maybe to. maybe this information and therefore they have to examine it critically if we in new york during the iraq crisis had accepted the intelligence yeah well they say and so it must be so then of course we would have failed the i think has been very cautious with about the information they received about iraq so the combination of the two recent national states and the inspectors who are there legally on the site is a very very useful well the world doesn't seem to be getting any simpler but we thank you for helping to make it a little bit more sense of it so mr blix trying much like. we have a local war lords will give him a note so we have

a will to do the only groups the clothes and sluices all our views in the whole movie right enough to my mind it was like many of them out h. that wasn't forced marriage it's the smadi when i was fifteen years old you can liberate other women and you certainly can't do it through the barrel of a gun only effective social changes can be the afghans themselves afghan men and women we believe i'm going to stun them not to have a cross product without the participation of its chemical commission and that a construction company stop people in the obama administration talking about how much they care about the women of afghanistan it's not true they don't care about the women of afghanistan.

the news today violence is once again flared up. these are the images the world has been seeing from the streets of canada. giant corporations rule the day.

syria is awaiting results of sunday's referendum on a new draft constitution to end one party rule with a government already heading it as a success the opposition boycott of the ballot amid escalating violence and. no libya style interference in syria russian premier and presidential candidate luton outlines his foreign policy plans ahead of this sunday's poll also said interference into other countries domestic affairs could encourage states to acquire nuclear weapons. and as the ante a sturdy drive grips the euro zone spain's impoverished students lash out at more cuts saying they've been abandoned by their government the german minister says

greece will be better off leaving the eurozone despite securing a new bailout. for the sport is next with full. hello welcome along to the world of sport here is what's coming up. gossip all teach us exclusively to the newly appointed. head of the restart of the russian premier league season next week a. liverpool championship side cardiff on penalties at wembley to win the league cup their first trophy since winning the f.a. cup back in two thousand and six. hundred and gather a remarkable where he stopped short of reaching the world number one ranking as hunter made how to collect his second career matchplay crown. but to start angie

have won their final friendly and of the resumption of the russian premier league season next weekend they beat arsenal kiev three nil in turkey and artie's which is very important is spoken exclusively to new manager guus hiddink and he started that shout by asking about the club's most recent signing defendant christopher summer from black but. what i heard from from the president through get to my couch and go there it was in the latest hours in the ladies' minutes before the deadline of friday night yesterday and also a couple of us coming in so we have two two people coming in extra it was a latests latest call of course he is an experienced player is playing really quite a lot of games in the premier league and this is one of the or maybe the best league in the world so you've got a lot of experience i think he brings also a lot of of dynamic and personality and character to the team as well because we

are of course looking for the balance. here let's say the mental power tactical power and he's experienced i mean with under shot and you make an attempt to try and sign him function well but on the way we have frequent contact and well. he can he was welcome in but we have to see what will happen with him in the future was going to act as a need for the remainder of this season was a good move for him well he says it's his home and he did very well in the first part of his staying in london i met him several times also over there it was good to see him and he gave also good name to the russian football in general brought yeah it was always good to see good players in russia and once he's come back on it's a level yeah then he can be very useful for us in the who what when wrong and you think over the last year or so with underachieving i don't know if a lot of things went wrong but he started very well in premier league and it's too

far away to give a proper judgment about that but obviously in a team he was in and out then maybe it didn't work out as well as it should be and the last month. didn't mean to head coach when i make it easier to bring in top name players specifically world class training like this was hitting at the helm term that will help their tracks. might help it might help but at the end the players must be convinced that it's a serious and i'm a serious person but the clip also is a serious club and now i think that's that that helps of course we have a lot of contacts worldwide but i just don't want to have just on bringing foreign a foreigner foreigners for me for russia and for now and for the future the world cup is coming up and more progress in football we have to empathise also on the youth education and so i'm not focusing with my name worldwide on big players of

course but also in saying slipstream also young promising russian players. now elsewhere in football liverpool have won their first trophy in six years after lifting the league cup at wembley they say after a dramatic penalty shoot out save a championship side cardiff city nothing separated the sides in normal time or extra time reigning spoke explorer decisive it was the world cup we took a surprisingly in the first half when john mason passed on to a pending through. the seven times winners were level midway through the second period however through an unlikely stuff and martin sky two reacting quickest to make it one. extra time. then thought he wanted to come into our wishes man. before i dramatic in cries from ben turner made it

and meant penalties and not a day of mixed emotions for the gerrard family and today missed his penalty for cardiff which meant little one free to cousin stephen cotton if the car. before was. way way through probably. to do. in the middle. of the next. thing we. were also on sunday manchester united closed the gap on leaders manchester city back to two points in the premier league of the willing to one in origin ryan giggs celebrated his nine hundred the period for the club with the winning goal another veteran paul scholes opened the scoring for salix ferguson's men in the late game of the day started piece ones eight to melt and came from to know their own against holland in

a quite remarkable north london dobby at the emirates five two it finished in favor of the gun as it moved back into the champions league places they now trailed by spurs by seven points. but have them firmly in their sights according to process and then go. impossible if you keep on going yes of course not but. you know as much as before the game it was impossible even before the game if it's possible could be don't do consistency because everybody in the premier league know. the. point so it is since the start of the season. but if you continue to play like that why not now in gulf rory mcilroy was unable to climb to the top of the world rankings as he lost in the world match match play championship final to hunter mehan the twenty two year old missing the chance to become a world number one as the american took his second career matchplay crown my hand

was able to turn this excellent he shot on the set into a run of four birdies in the next five whole years. the twenty nine year old would go for up after almost falling another approach for the tenth my hands northern irish opponent the seemingly clear path to the top after knocking out another top one contender and arch rival lee westwood in the semifinal. raising his game another notch with an eagle on the eleventh hour battle with westwood admittedly took a lot out of michael moore though i'm a hand secured a two one victory at the seventeenth to california adding this w c title to the two thousand and ten bridgestone invitational trophy now has four titles to his name. now in tennis austrian you're going meltzer has overcome a broken toe to claim his fourth career title he be canadian minister and seven five seven six two in the regions morgan keegan championships in memphis the thirty

year old hasn't won a title since winning in his own hometown of yellow in two thousand and ten and back injuries he says he slipped to thirty eight in the world rankings over the last twelve months in contrast. in a row in straight sets with meltzer took a single break in the first set and served it out with an ace for winning the second set tiebreaker seven five seven six the final score and afterwards well it's a joke you might break it's time for every tournament he says he's delighted to get his hands on the trophy. i am delighted to have played a really good match today against a big serving guy and i kept myself together i knew it i'm not going to get a lot of chances and i had to break points i think i converted them both. i'm really pleased with the way i played pressure coming back in the second break it was high quality i'm really happy now to the ice where it's playoff time in the kontinental hockey league the line up for the last sixteen is known and there's one

fixture tracking attracting the most attention you i've passed the defending champions will go face to face with the two time to go and cup winners in the first round of the play. and the others are sixteen fixtures regular season with instructor. for western conference champions scarse and it is. moscow the first game to take place on wednesday. staying with winter sports where martin because of latvia is kind of gold at the world championships skeleton competition in lake placid the reigning world champion dominated the competition throughout all four hates he entered the final attempt with more than a second and a half advantage over the chasing pack only a crush would have prevented you from winning the trophy but it was a seamless run as the lovely and completed heat for in fifty four point six seconds . romel took silver in two seconds to the winner. he's even completed the podium.

and finally i'm torn through tour of canada as one last began competition of the twenty two of snowboard world cup by claiming his first career international victory on home so the twenty one year old schooled the most number of points with some spectacular displays of skill in both attempts defending champion poland of finland finished in second while another canadian school was. where you're bang up to date with the world of school would have more for you in just under two hours time join us then. culture is that so much i mean i am an american which of course his wife might accomplish here at any price of food meaning stubbornly high and consumers feel the pinch the wire energy prices so high because of the lack of supply and security. wealthy british style. that's not on the tightly. guarded.
