three. three. three stooges three. three blown in video for your media project free media john darche dot com. main news stories we're covering for you this hour serious turmoil has been laid bare in our t.v. screens more than a year but it's claims some networks are twisting events at the time was a culture syria t.v. channel is accused of staging shots to shape the paintings there of. britain america's leaders get together to discuss getting out of afghanistan but the basketball court first london has been washington's main ally in the conflict mr david cameron says people don't want an end game. and iran brushes off claims by

the u.n. nuclear watchdog that it's trying to raise evidence of explosives testing that's not even a true site of israel's threats of attack that still stand in spite of loud 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 iranian nuclear dispute. 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. now you 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 illogical because we're keeping an option on the table which clearly inflames the situation people know that it's could be a disaster if we pursue that option a force it's not working. of turn their mind against it but at the same time it's an option that actually as they say in flames the situation and makes peaceful outcome less likely your motion though was almost unanimously rejected clearly people feel that iran may strike first in a region why shouldn't we believe that well i don't know whether they think iran could strike first but they feel that they're not should should be kept on the table because that you and you know it is i suppose in their view sensible that at the options are left on the table and 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 that israel is considering a military strike it reduces the option short arm chance and short of a potential accident inflaming a conflict like for example the shooting down of them over iran air six five four. but longer term but taking that option off the table 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 given iran's defiance and aggressive rhetoric well don't forget there's been if you like defiance by both sides i mean both sides on 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 they rob was one of the first to actually show solidarity with the us in contrast to many in the middle east street 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 to very directly to the removal of the reformist and 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 you know 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 opportunities missed on both sides is there not an element of truth in that though they have been quite the polluter 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 over for 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 this by both sides. what has happened and was developed is this. almost game of brinkmanship threats and camp threats so if britain and the west does take this option of military action off the table would that not be giving iran the upper hand it 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 broad 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 escape for quite a while and we're going back decades they see it as a means of expressing their power within the region status is important in the region we underestimate the importance of status in the region the reason saddam hussein for example as they did not deny the existence of the 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 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 implicit recognition of iran's status as a regional superpower iran's preemption of that oil embargo in the sanctions does that mean they have 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 is that iran is absolutely intent on her nuclear program and her bringing these sanctions and all the deadlines forward i think is a clear example of that you know i think we've got to be very clear. sanctions saber rattling affair i think we all know that a military strike has applied to israel or anybody else would be a disaster for the region if we can light 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 him 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 is basically in the sixty's and seventy's and not deny the reality of

iran's power and i do not accept the argument that if iran is allowed to continue with its nuclear program and touched on inhibits it then it will promote some kind of next year on for us and that rachel i think we've got to first of all look at the evidence the latest i say a report there is in my view new you can go on there is new clear substantial evidence all three nuclear weapons program peter solution 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 going 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 there to this region as it does to other parts of the world after all india and past. start of the war show restraint i'm afraid there's only one country in the world is 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 why are they allowed to do it if iran's not you know i happen to believe and i and i. believe in the you know we should balance in the region but i do believe you know you have you can understand the iranian if you knew that there is a sort of double standards to a certain extent that israel could develop a nuclear weapon 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 are 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 post question of reading about the need for that balance when discussion discussing the issue of germany is it really balance though to allow iran to arm itself with nuclear weapons well as i said that we come back to the evidence business let's examine the evidence so you point to me with 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 substantial evidence so i think we have to be very very careful here we do 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 on a false premise could we see a rerun of the i think there is

a danger of war you know the rhetoric is building up i mean there is you know the annual condemnation of iraq is is you get used to it after a while but this time around we certainly seem to be ratcheting up the rhetoric and that waris me and you know we're now talking about the human rights records of iran and sponsoring a state to state terrorism overseas i mean this is this is very bad over. it is not a reason for it 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 our british m.p.'s so keen to keep this option of military action with iran on the table i think that the vast majority of m.p.'s here going to 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 there now because we need to look for the news no good just taking an option on the table to 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 way in trying it was beginning to flex its muscles president nixon did not deny the reality of chinese power he engaged a visit took everybody by surprise but it was the right decision at the time it was a defining moment and what the u.s. must do was put behind it it's and it is them towards the rock on which sort of. put 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 we us is the elephant in the room here and i fear is that israel will not strike us and bush of washington. agree.

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 of it started john baron thank you. this respectable british gentleman's choice was. to leave jackets and old whiskey. a much younger wife. and more than twenty years of intelligence service in profit of the self if you. feel these choices on forty.
