automatic here with our t.v. here is a look at the top stories of the week live report and confirmed as russia's president elect after securing a comfortable win in the poll but man i believe tough challenges for the new leader lie ahead. the election draws down to russia's streets rallying for and against the outcome was the opposition movement facing a task for support and accusations of failed expectations. in the arab league season was russia on how serious crisis should be ended and the growing calls for foreign intervention and fears it could lead to further bloodshed. and greece

receives a cold shower from ratings agencies after it finally c. was a dead deal with private investors with moody's declaring the country and the fault . with tensions between iran and israel intensifying we talked iran's deputy foreign minister and whether israel's threats will turn into action and what could be the implications of it. headed to get where we can seen increased tension between the us and he's really gassed to 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're currently witnessing political and security changes which have come as a response to popular demands to look weak and america's presence in the region and empowered resistance against zionism and against repressive regimes till of eve is in a very bad situation and netanyahu is incapable of taking decisions or seriously thinking of attacking iran should this unlikely 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 we see it as unrealistic any move against us would be strongly responded to and they would regret it. now there is a market but what 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 well that we have strategic relations with syria which we see as an important state in the resistance axis our historical ties with the people and government of syria give us 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 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 under-estimate 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 packed 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 of 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 june consideration these are called points in iran's policy towards

syria. or they have a lot of work how do you think the situation in syria will and in worst. syria heading up what other 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. a third phase marks the completion of ourselves reforms we should soon witness parliamentary elections as syria heads toward stability and peace which we're seeing across the country the other parties play all their cards

but couldn't make it work their 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 and 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 for these reasons the national dialogue process should look forward with confidence. again going to be foreign troops getting to syria would you be willing to defend it what about hezbollah's fate. 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 of the world yet have been augmented with differently how how different are the situations in syria and in bahrain you clearly your support for the syrian president and the same time called on the king or by. arrange to start reforms seeing the demands of the bahraini people are legitimate because this means the syrian people's demands are huge admitted havilland 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 arab 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 with the center for the people's protests and demands

while in syria we see that 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 were soon supplied with weapons so for 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 the rule i had when we witnessed the rise of islamic parties to power in egypt tunisia in libya. how will this affect the reach will not on earth in dow thirty we believe that great changes are taking place in light of the islamic and arab awakening which

will eventually lead to a dismantling of pro-american regimes in the region that 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 new regional security arrangements in the region are emerging to sieging 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 is zionist alliance concentrates on syria in an attempt to wipe out the regional resistance access we believe the arab an islamic awakening and a 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 sinus dominance and fun with us and talk about the problem and be reigning elections marked not a victory by the conservatives does this mean nothing will change iran's the mastic

or foreign policy. 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 but the expressed opinion of the electorate reflects their support for a rainy 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.

to a substantial degree and one form or another socialism has spread the shadow of the regimentation over most of the nations that they are and the shadow is a protein upon all of them to. leave early twenty first century military bases a network of military bases all around the forms of the movement empire that the united states is trying to build that'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 so all around them. we don't have foreign bases of america 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 our bases of iraq they are the noises our north is a muslim bomb the us
