a much younger life. and more than twenty years of intelligence service in profits of the soviet union. buildings choice on forty. talk about the headlines for you down here don t britain and america's leaders get together to discuss a getting out of afghanistan. called first london hospital of washington's on line of it but mr cameron says it will not want an end game. we use new rules against overspenders takes effect of hungary getting its funding slashed some equations given to spain but the regions from it say that it wants full force of visitors and it takes. under on russia's offer claims by the u.n.

nuclear watchdog and it's trying to raise evidence of explosives testing as a key military site of israel's threats of attack still stand down to criticism from its own citizens. the next we hear why sanctions and threats of military action don't work when it comes to solving the reigning you can to speed. i'm joined by john baron a british member of parliament and the only member of the conservative party to vote against taking military action in libya john thanks for speaking to r.t. and i recently put forward a motion to the house of parliament urging the government to rule out military action in iran you say that move will be counterproductive why is that but i think it would it's not only naive but it's illogical it's naive because the policy of force has clearly failed policy of saber rattling and sanctions has not worked they

are yesterday's promises iran is not going to be deterred from pursuing its nuclear program but it's also in logical because we're keeping an option on the table which clearly influenced the situation people know that it's would be a disaster if we pursued that option of force it's not working the reunions have turned their mind against it but at the same time it's an option that actually as i say it inflames the situation and makes peaceful outcome less likely your motion though was almost unanimously rejected as clearly people feel that iran may strike first in the region why should we believe that well i don't know whether they think iran could strike first bert they feel that they're not should be kept on the table because that you you know it is i suppose in their view sensible that all options are left on the table there are your options when it comes to negotiations i take

a different view i think by taking the option off the table we in the short term reduce tensions which is what we want there's already talk of you know perhaps over the next few months the israelis considering a military strike it reduces the option short charts and short of a potential accident inflaming a conflict like for example the shooting down of a river on air six five four. i but longer by taking out option off the table it i think increases the charts of a peaceful outcome and perhaps gives us time to reflect on what is desperately needed here which is a fresh approach but isn't britain justified in keeping this option on the table and given iran's defiance and aggressive rhetoric well to forget there's been if you like defiance by both sides i mean both sides in this and i'm talking about the international community here generally both sides have missed opportunities to better relations between the two one can think of for example immediately after

nine eleven iran was one of the first to actually show solidarity with the us in contrast to many in the middle east st also in the early stages of the afghan war iran made approaches what was their reward to be classed as part of the axis of evil by president bush and that led very directly to the removal of the reformist moderate president hatami so i think it's fair to say there's been a put you just missed both sides and that is why no one is calling for a more balanced approach to this because of the movement of iran or simply being painted as a sort of illegitimate. difficult country to deal with when as i say there's been other changes missed on both sides is an element of truth in that although they have been quite the military and they've had the chance to come to the negotiating table and they haven't yet so i would agree with that i think they were wrong for example to. turn their back on president obama's initial overtures if you like

and i don't deny that i think you know let's be absolutely clear about this i'm not an apologist for iran's human rights record for their sponsoring or for our state terrorism overseas or for many other aspects of the regime the point i'm making is that we've got to view and judge this in a balanced way and there have been opportunities as i say it's by both sides. what has happened and was developed as this. game of brinkmanship threats and counter threats so if and the west does take this option military action after taper would that not be giving iran the upper hand here well let's let's look at the facts the policy of saber rattling and sanctions have clearly failed i mean if you want one example of that iran is now toying with or it is actually bringing forward the all in bako that was imposed by the e.u. certainly bring it forward when it comes to france and the u.k. and i think we've got to be we've got to look back and realize that. the nuclear program has been a stated objective of the rain is fake for quite

a while we're going back decades that they see it as a means of expressing their power within the region state this is important in the region we underestimate the importance of status in the region the reason saddam hussein for example is to not deny the existence of w m d is because it was in his in his interest not to do so so i think you have to be realistic the present policy is a failed and present policy is a heightening tensions what we want is now to pull back from any chance of military conflict and take a fresh look at the situation and adopt a fresh approach which i think should include an implicit recognition or at least the offer of an oppressive condition of iran status as a regional superpower iran's preemption all that oil embargo and sanctions does that mean they've backfired somewhat on britain and france i'm not sure that backfired you don't impose sanctions unless you know that you can see it through i think what they do show there is is that iran is absolutely intent on her nuclear

program and her bringing the sanction of the deadlines forward i think is a clear example of that you know i think i think we've got to be very clear. sanctions saber rattling failed i think we all know that a military strike with israel or anybody else would be a disaster for the region if we can meet iran and fury it would not. even the u.s. defense secretary of state it may delay matters for a year may you know if iran has her heart set on a nuclear program she will not be deterred she hasn't been a military strike will encourage her to do so for all those reasons it would be a disaster therefore let's be realistic as to the option off the table try to foster better relations better engage with iran and do what nixon did to the chinese basically in six years and so there is an a not deny the reality of iran's power washing all except the argument that if iran is allowed to continue with its

nuclear program and touch to uninhibited then it will promote some kind of nuclear arms race in that region i think we've got to first of all look at the evidence the latest i.a.e.a. report there is not even you know do some you can go on there is new clear substantial evidence of a nuclear weapons program or a decision to pursue one so after iraq i think we've got to be very very careful circumstantial evidence i'm afraid is not good enough and we went to war in iraq on a false premise as it turned out before we even think about came down this road we want to see substantial evidence. and secondly even if you accept that they're developing a nuclear weapons program i for one do not buy the argument that it's going to lead to some sort of nuclear arms race in the region there is no evidence to suggest that iran is any more irrational than any other member of the existing nuclear club

the fear about the rhetoric and the loss of both sides have rhetoric president bush's axis of evil for example is rhetoric russia has come out with rhetoric many other countries have come out with rhetoric what is important is actions not words . and you know there is no evidence suggesting the theory of nuclear terrorism should not be in there to this region as it does to other parts of the world after all india impact. been a war should you create restraint i'm afraid there's only one country in the world has actually used nuclear weapons and israel's recent rhetoric around the option of military action has been at least if not more aggressive than iran and so why are they allowed to do it if iran is not well you know i happen to believe and i and i don't believe in the you know we should balance in the region but i do believe you know you do you can understand the iranian for you that there is sort of double standards to a certain extent israel have developed nuclear weapons so we are so we understand

it is not a signature of the n.p.t. iran is a signature of the n.p.t. and yet is going through this very very intense scrutiny with implied threats as well and i think there's a we've got to be very careful to show a balance in our approach which comes back to the original discussion about having about the need for that balance when discussion discussing the issue in general is it really balance though to allow iran to arm itself with nuclear weapons well as i said we come back to the evidence business and let's examine the evidence so you point to me the substantive evidence of that i have failed to see it our former directors and director generals of the i have said they cannot see this understand of evidence so i think we have to be very very careful here we did not want to make the same mistake we made in iraq where on the basis of secret intelligence and circumstantial evidence we basically went to war in a false premise or could we see a rerun of that i think there is a danger of war you know the rhetoric is building up i mean there is you know the

annual condemn nation of iran is is you get used to ever after a while but this time around we certainly seem to be ratcheting up the rhetoric and that where it's very. you know we're now talking about the human rights records of iran and the sponsoring of state terrorism overseas i mean this is this is very bad over. if it is not a reason for we cannot justify war it cannot justify military intervention so we've got to make sure we keep a check on the server given what happened in iraq and how it was shown to be founded on a false premise and why are british m.p.'s so keen to keep this option of military action with iran on the table i think the vast majority of m.p.'s here don't want to make the same mistake twice but. i personally think that they are wrong from the view that you keep an option on the table which in my view only heightens the tensions and is having no effect whatsoever and i think convert what should

happen because we need to look for the news no good just taking an option on the table i think that's the solution i think what we need to do is what. the u.s. did in the sixty's and seventy's with china in the one nine hundred sixty s. u.s. influence in asia was on the wane trying was beginning to flex the muscles president nixon did not deny the reality of chinese power he engaged the visit took everybody by surprise because it was the right decision at the time it was a defining moment and what the u.s. must do it was put behind it it's and in his them towards iran which sort of. defines this crisis. try to better engage and realize and offer implicit recognition of iran status as a regional super power and the reason why the u.s. is the elephant in the room here in my view is that israel will not strike us and which of washington. agrees. for

a whole host of reasons including the fact that there is a question mark over the military capability of israel to finish the job if it started john barron thank you. the limits. it's. just so. just so.
