welcome back here watching our t.v. here's the stories that shape the week here on our network a lot of me are put and confirmed as russia's president elect our first securing a comfortable way in the poll but now i believe the top challenges for the new leader why. the election draws thousands to russia's streets wehling for and against the outcome with the opposition movement facing a test for support and accusations of failed to take. the arab league season

i took on i was rochelle on how serious crisis you be out of the middle growing calls for foreign intervention of fears it could lead to further bloodshed. and greece receives a cold shower from praise agencies after it finally seems a debt deal with private investors with moody's declaring the country in the fall. now with tensions between iran and israel intensifying we talk to iran's deputy foreign minister on whether israel's threats will turn into action and what could be the implications of it. headed to the gate where we can seem increased tension between us and he's really gassed around us your assessment of the recent statements by president obama and he's really prime minister netanyahu all of us israeli threats against iran a not new it's a repeating scenario involving the us and the zionist country what's important is

that we understand the terms and conditions to which the us president is in an election cycle these threats are for domestic consumption and are intended to influence election results some of these threats relate to changes taking place in the middle east and north africa as well as the arab revolutions which were led rather peacefully and quietly by the muslim peoples and we are currently witnessing political and security changes which have come as a response to popular demands that weaken the america's presence in the region and empowered resistance against zionism and against repressive regimes television is in a very bad situation and netanyahu is incapable of taking decisions or seriously thinking of attacking iran should listen likely attack ever happen israel would face dire consequences they know this well and netanyahu statements reflect his fears because they are very weak now iran is much stronger than them even in the current circumstances. what are the consequences of

a possible attack by israel on iran. we have different retaliate a real options however we're not convinced that israel has the capability to launch a military attack on iran as we see it is unrealistic any move against us would be strongly responded to and they would regret it. now there is another body how do you perceive the situation in syria you are accused of sending weapons and elements from the rain army and their revolutionary guard to syria is this true that. we have strategic relations with syria which we see as an important state in the resistance axis historical ties with the people and government of syria it was a good insight into the nature of the syrian people who because of their resistance to us israeli domination possess a deep sense of national unity contrary to what some parties say we do not need to send weapons to syria we are simply articulating our support for the syrian people

and the reforms of president bashar al assad we have also said clearly that we recognize and understand the objectives of the u.s. and scientists in this vitally important middle east country and we would not allow america to use an rest in their country to install new power structures that would upset the balance of power in the region certainly not without the demand and will of the syrian people since america cares only for its own interests on the contrary we've received accurate intelligence from our allies the tens of us israeli backed trucks loaded with weapons have crossed syria's borders bringing more danger to syria fortunately syria and the syrian people have been able to face off foreign intervention over the past few months the result was the public referendum on the syrian constitution which was held peacefully we deny charges of sending weapons to syria which does not need our weapons in our opinion what syria needs above

everything else is political support in facing a one sided american sanctions and it also needs the reforms executed there to be taken into consideration these are called points in iran's policy towards syria. that. i was not of how do you think the situation in syria will hand and worst. heading up i don't know what a think it over the past three months we believe syria has gone through three basic phases first did manage to overcome the security chaos phase into which america the zionist regime western states and unfortunately some arab states invested their knowledge intelligence and mass media in an attempt to pursue their interest but syria managed to overcome this almost two months ago in the second phase before the constitutional referendum syria managed to solve its security problems to the syrian people and government succeeded is evidenced by the constitutional poll that

the third phase marks the completion of ourselves reforms we should soon witness parliamentary elections for syria heads towards stability and peace which we're seeing across the country the other parties played all their cards but could make it work better goal centered on creating chaos in syria what i say is confirmed by the results of the conference held by the so-called friends of syria in tunis boy they came out with nothing we are optimistic and confident that the syrian people and president bashar al assad will succeed and will continue reforms while facing down foreign interventions and terrorism if for these reasons the national dialogue process should look forward with confidence. again when the foreign troops get into syria would you be willing to defend it what about hezbollah's feat. that it. has the internationally orchestrated crisis began in syria some spoke of foreign intervention but once they saw the reality on the ground they ceased such

rhetoric we strongly reject any foreign intervention in syria and we do believe that syria is capable of defending itself against any such intervention given the constructive and positive steps taken by the regime and the support it receives from the syrian people in. the case of a decision to militarily intervene in syria the region would face a serious crisis of different parties would enter the conflict serving any the syria's nor the syrian people's purposes nor the stability and security of the region and the world had been one member with difficult how how different are the situations in syria and in bahrain and you clearly your support for the syrian president and that for same time called on the king of bahrain to start reforms seen the demands of the bahraini people or luke didn't does this mean the syrian people's demands are illegitimate the gabble have a band of about it we take into consideration the different circumstances of each

country yemen bahrain and syria we follow the same policy with all in all three countries we believe that the demands of the people should be taken into consideration and we also believe that political reforms should also take place. at the same time we denounce any foreign intervention in these three states it's also our belief that national dialogue is the only solution for these countries and that the government should implement reforms necessary for national dialogue the difference between syria and bahrain is the part of the events in syria a real such as people's demands and their need for reforms. like all other out of states syria needs reforms and democracy that a greater part of the so-called events in syria is artificial initiated by foreign intervention by flooding the country with weapons manipulating regional change to weaken an important resistant state of close examination of recent events in syria

clearly distinguish it from the middle east and north africa for instance the capital cities of the states where the center for the people's protests and demands while in syria we see the damascus was largely the scene of rallies supporting the regime even during the referendum the highest turnout it was in the capital moreover protests in syria began three and a half months after the protests in other countries and only along the borders they started as armed movements aimed at creating civil war and the anti regime groups will soon be supplied with weapons so the protests could take their current form for these reasons we believe that the events in syria differ from those in yemen bahrain or egypt above all killing the syrian people is a red line for us and we denounce murderous operations conducted by both parties as we do confirm the necessity of meeting the demands of the people or not of the rule i had called him we witnessed the rise of islamic parties to power in egypt tunisia

in libya. how will this affect the reach or not out of the thing there for you we believe that great changes are taking place in light of the islamic and arab awakenings which will eventually lead to a dismantling of pro-american regimes in the region the west itself sees it like that new players will come to the fore from youths different classes and elites at the same time the islamists are winning elections that new regional security arrangements in the region are emerging besieging american and zionist interests in the region forcing them to step back and eventually they will lose their dominant position as a result the us and zionist alliance concentrates on syria in an attempt to wipe out good regional resistance access we believe the arab and islamic awakening in the middle east will eventually lead to greater democracy security and stability creating prosperity in a region that will enjoy tranquility and constructive relations with the international community with no place for us sign is dominance from with us and the

hard part of the problem and the reigning elections marked not a victory by the conservatives does this mean nothing will change iran's amassed equal foreign policy. that was theirs and what got me in on that iranian foreign policy is wise stemming from the dignity and interest of the islamic republic of iran that it works within the parameters of peace and stability in the persian gulf and plays an active role in changes enveloping the region and the world elections have shown once again the solidarity and disposition of the iranian people reformists have always had an active political role to play the expressed opinion of the electorate reflects their support for brainy and foreign policy currently the iranian government's objectives lie in achieving prosperity for our people security for our country and for the region we're working to achieve these objectives more than we have done before.
