everything you thought you knew. i'm sorry welcome to the big picture. around the world this is our teeth thank you for being with us tonight these are our top stories tonight of cheers but also a few. presidential victory sinks in with tens of thousands on the streets and some went too far forcing the police to step in two hundred fifty overzealous protesters were detained although they've since been really. leading u.s. senator john mccain is calling for a strike to force syrian president assad out he's the first american politician to make such a call while thousands of syrians have been forced to flee from lebanon because of

the fierce clashes between government forces and opposition fighters. and iran is to allow the inspectors into a secret military facility with suspected of public weapons research has been carried out earlier president obama vowed to use any power necessary to stop iran getting a nuclear bomb including standing by israel despite its threats to the islamic republic. next r t here's how there is much more peaceful way to ensure there's develop a nuclear weapon coming right up. we're sitting down with thomas pickering the service ambassador to many countries including russia as well india he also served as the u.s. ambassador to the united nations from one thousand nine hundred ninety two ninety nine to pickering thank you very much for joining me if you're having me you co-wrote an article titled being visioning with iran going through

a vital that in order to avoid a confrontation with a rank you're almost racial should open plan mattick channels with tehran or learn in iran and try to make some kind of a deal what kind of a deal we envisage a deal that might involve have in fact two parts to start with to begin with the idea that the iranians advanced two years two months ago that they would stop enriching uranium to twenty percent if we on our side maybe the p five plus one russia china the united states britain and france and germany would provide the fuel elements those pieces of the reactor that they use to make medical isotopes for their population they now have run out of that fuel and the proposals that we make would be to say let's give iran what it says it wants which is a civil nuclear program but let's do our best to create the maximum amount of

effective inspection so that's a fire was a rolling roadblock a break between their civil program and a military nuclear program how realistic is achieved such a deal today i mean how big is the resistance among u.s. policymakers if you talk to me a year ago i would've said pretty high but since then several things have happened just two or three months ago secretary clinton made a speech in which there was certainly a clear hint that the old. u.s. policy of no enrichment in iran might well be modified if a deal could be struck so that the us would become satisfied that iran was proceeding in an open way in a transparent way and that would give some confidence that the u.s. side might then agree to a continuing civil program one of the problems about a civil program is that iran only has one reactor and that i think thankfully

because it was provided by russia is bound up in agreement where they don't need to get fuel russia provides the fuel and more importantly russia to expect the used fuel which afterwards used makes plutonium and plutonium and directly usable in nuclear weapons so that's very well safeguarded why they were so then come under so i want to pack for assisting their civil nuclear with the nuclear program because at the time it became increasingly clear that their civil program was at least in part being used as a springboard for investigating items and things which go beyond the civil program in the direction only of a military weapon there is so one interesting thing about u.s. official rhetoric towards iran on the one side you have on the one hand you have the pentagon and u.s. intelligence community saying that they don't believe iran has even decided to build a nuclear weapon and on the other hand you have ministration pursuing policies which

as if they come from the standpoint that iran has decided to build a nuclear weapon it already is sure about it and they want to stop it do you think that that kind of approach might actually push it ran closer to the idea of getting a bomb even if it hasn't decided no i think that very little that we could do short of an israeli or u.s. military attack on iran would push iran any closer to a decision to make a nuclear weapon and i agree with your statement however you ought to know that iran. is also bound by the nonproliferation treaty and then on proliferation treaty says you have a civil program which meets civil needs only and doesn't do things that could be used only for military purposes you have the u.s. military saying israeli attack on iraq would be a bad idea and the word was premature no you test the u.s. military i think all elements of the united states and the attack on iraq on iran

not only would be premature but crazy top u.s. intel or the right fish oils are saying iran is unlikely to initiate or intentionally provoke a conflict you served as the u.s. ambassador to israel at one time but obviously the u.s. and its role there are very close allies does israel really listen to washington i think it does but sometimes when it feels itself in extreme danger it takes its own advice and really interesting thing about these really situation is as far as i can see and people have been very clear in saying this that the heads of the three israeli intelligence service don't seem to be recommending a military attack they seem to be against it for good reasons it involves many too many risks some complications and it is unlikely to achieve in any serious and continuing way the objective of stopping the iranian program in fact i believe if you were to attack iran militarily under the current six situation one result would

be they would have a perfectly legitimate reason for saying we had no interest in a bomb but now that we've been attacked we have really have to make a part so it is counterproductive in the article what i found very interesting argue that the hostility of the iranian dollars towards the u.s. is rooted in their conviction that washington wants to overthrow them one way or another how do you least i leave that to be true i haven't talked to iranian leaders but i have talked to people talked to iranians. here's who at least represent neutral fumes on the question and iran has sat down and catalog all the things that it sees negative about the united states overthrow not attack support of bashar support of iraq during the eight year war the shoot down of the airplane by the by the cruiser of incense sanctions and all of these things hemming iraq iran around what did they conclude they must want to change our government but they

do have like resist when we question the dad just as we have reasons to believe that they have heads or monica ambitions that they have no interest in working with the united states that they want to develop a nuclear weapon so these are the difficult problem to protect them from being of course wrong these are course these are the difficult problems one has to move to have to tell you how to side countries don't do very well overthrowing governments as both the soviet union and the united states of felt that we don't necessarily get to choose who will be the permanent successors it's not a good idea i've been around diplomacy for a long time let's talk about the u.s. push for regime change in syria very important thing that that they bring up is that. the fate of the syrian leadership they're not people sided from the outside it should be decided by the syrian people the course of the said negotiation they said they'd like to see president are said step aside and his vice president

whoever it is take over but this is preparation obviously for a negotiated solution has to be a negotiated solution well what backup political solution involves the opposition talking to the going operation why why does the opposition refuse to talk to the governors and refuse to total it has no it hasn't refused to talk to present it as a present yes to the government exactly there was also a fear that that kind of one sided resolution could invite. any intervention another train intervention. many and a look at you did but after reading your theory and i understand russia's concerns if they actually believed that the original resolution in libya was not going to invite some kind of intervention the resolution was to protect civilians from you need. not to kill qaddafi but that's what he tried to get like tone through that's what my view was of what the root of the resolution in effect if you looked at political rallies proposed tical realities would require but anyway this is not

what the resolution said it was a lawyer and that played out played of on of course it was that it was really it wasn't a lawyer it was a lawyer the way it militarily developed that way russia for reasons i don't understand and felt that the risk of lucian was used in ways that were not in its interest so then it said we're not going to vote for anything like that with respect to syria and not just its interests but also it's not in the interests of the syrian people i know in the interests of how russia view the interests of the syrian but it's not the same as yours not america's russia as you know sure russia is not the american here the interest of the syrian over russia is that if a syrian people in either the americans exactly neither will you or if you look you have to go talk to the people who represent the syrian people exactly exactly thank you.

there's you know soon as you know i'm down i know. this is not cold those are not patriotic but i like the american flag but this song tells it otherwise. the words through the song as it is we will stand forever as a nation under the flag. meaning the red white and blue stripes. is a salute to the trying to be the clips on the outside. but their heart is on anger. the heart. of all kinds of struggles and they allow they choose. to allow these things to stay there i choose alcohol of the jews drown. this is that people by will stand here and they. they open it and they fill it with

water over there from that stick it and then and i think they drink it because it has to because it has alcohol in it and so that is they drink it it is actually hairspray. could lose their lives now you want. nobody could not. know my family. not. cobol assume try nobody could stay. good to me i'll be warned. to a substantial degree and one form or another socialism has spread the shadow of human regimentation over most of the nations of new york and the shadow is an approaching of the first. to leave early twenty first century

military bases a network of military bases all around the world for misleading empire that the united states is trying to build it's astonishing most americans have no idea there are more than a quarter of a million a more than two hundred fifty thousand u.s. troops stationed on these bases all around them. we don't have power bases american we don't have any british base we don't have any korean bases we don't have any french bases or you know we just all american bases in bases are fine there are the noises i would northeastern doesn't bother us at all because they're all bases but for other people it's almost like a cancer here for them speed. since the end of world war two the spaces i've been. working here to provide a safe and secure environment for everybody. the

questions the appeals to get everything you needed.

face to round of the russian probably richard concorde fleet spoke to the dutchman following monday's game. i think the team really deserves a compliment because in his very limited time of preparation in the past eight nine ten days it was it was difficult. and not just for four for them but that having such a limited short time preparation is difficult but first of all they were very committed it was test which i saw in the first day but there was no balance in the in the commitment and let's say the tactical way i like them to play but in the in the last let's say three four days i think it was a big improvement and happily it will show tonight it was a pretty nice rooms just understanding each other better i'm patient i'm training pitch is what i said there was no balance they were very committed and they worked hard in hearts but the hard work you must do with not just where your heart which i

like very much but also with your head and i think the balance between heart and head was what's coming the last ace i'm going to use carlos community in the real madrid before he's going to talk about it here and on a phillips of course he's going to cook for six months how much of use during which places you know well for course i but i knew also other players like you will often there you see a call fair somewhere. at the place i knew i knew already there of course a very usual beto and i have been very close to me in training c. love to train but also i give good information about states of the club that have uses a dream start school when it is a good fit for anything better to help because i don't want used as an excuse the time of preparation was very limited and that's why i thought maybe we need some more time to get the team more established it was more this was a compliment for the team that they took it against the denominated still which is an experience the sport and the yeah that's why i'm happy for for the boys. now the
