eight thirty pm in moscow these iraqi headlines syrian opposition forces refuse to give in to the government's latest imad and provide a written guarantee is their home violence this puts a potential cease fire by the u.n. said deadline in jeopardy as damascus says it won't withdraw its troops on the rebels do the same. the controversy surrounding u.s. gun laws gains momentum with the latest killing of an unarmed teenager triggering accusations of lax legislation has led to the homicide rate soaring in some states

critics say the right to bear arms primarily serves not self defense but the interests of those producing and selling the guns. and reports suggest the deadly plane crash in western siberia a week ago was caused by the cruise decision not to be ice the plane the issue of the shortage of professional pilots in russia rushed into the spot. next to iran through the eyes of israeli security you have to ship p.r. director of the military balance project explores televisa plans to rein in tehran's nuclear ambitions the interview up next. with me i have your stuffs up here the director of the military balance project at the institute for national security studies here in tel aviv thank you very much for joining us here in r.t. over when you sat down together a couple of weeks ago you said it was not in israel's interest to launch a military strike on iran why do you think israel should not strike you when i

don't think that the israeli air force is large enough or strong enough to actually destroy the iranian nuclear weapon project it might cost them some damage but it would not. destroy it so it would not achieve anything do you think that the u.s. would consider carburetors with his role in such a strike but why didn't it first of all those not working in this issue because things were going to come out sooner or later so to begin with. on the one hand i think president obama has not ruled out an american strike yet even though his military is very reluctant to get into another war in the middle east i don't think he would do it during an election year so can't there be a reason for it all to launch a strike now before there's

a new american leadership in place. there is think there is a future in the united states and that is what we are going to do with an israeli attack mode draw the united states into that war probably prematurely and force the united states to get into a war because an iranian counterattack would almost undoubtedly be targeted against the united states as well as against israel so the united states would be drawn this route course i think such an action without an american consent would cause the great damage to israeli israel's relations strategic relations with the united states for an extended period of time do you think that the past sanctions recently declared against iran are enough to satisfy the israeli government not to launch a strike the might satisfy it for for time being i think the general. attitude

in israel is that these sanctions are not enough and they're not going to convince iran even if they would be much for would not convince iran not to continue its nuclear weapon project how do you measure iran's capability to launch a plan to attack iran as a cup ability of launching a missile attack on israel direct attack on israel. with few hundred thousand sites what would be the effectiveness of such an attack and what is the accuracy of these missile i don't know all. gone supposed to be worth all of the in one thousand nine hundred one when we were under iraqi army so the image was cost no one actually got killed but there's no guarantee that that

is not going to want to happen and we had an old arrow which we didn't have then which would be able to intercept least some part of these missiles attacks and the greatest damage would be as in the case of you for a rocket attack the economic damage to israel because under such a pact everything comes to a standstill what about arab support for an israeli strike on iran you mentioned american involvement but surely it's also needs our persistence in the form of landing rights and even feeling assistance many arab countries are very cautious of iran. for example saudi arabia has been urging the united states for attack iran for many years well they are terrified they really are terrified on the other hand assistance to israel is still out of their agenda in the open israel would have took

a fly over arab countries but it has done so before and it can be done without their consent or with. korver consent we could get assistance. from countries like i don't believe saudi arabia would do it but the united arab emirates my to that. just remember that the distance from the united arab emirates to on all the new iran is as far as from israel maybe even longer so. this kind of a landing rights would be helpful in case of attacking targets or in one thousand you run another. covertly aid might be but again it's problematic and maybe given by a. bunch on the north side of the rain and border they have no good relations

with israel trouble is that to get from israel to a bridge and you have to overfly turkey and at the moment i don't see with the current relations between israel and turkey i don't see the turks giving and you again if we look across the border at syria why is serious so important for western nations could it be that it's the last obstacle before any invasion of iran that is tough one way syria is important. is it important i mean to to the west and the state i don't see any western country in the intervening in syria as they did in libya and yet there is so much attention and focus on syria and particularly on the president bashar assad's handling of the situation so how do you explain that where the. that would be expected from the west it's much closer to europe and with traditional relations traditional

relations with countries like france. and when such atrocities take place them and they cannot stay quiet is there a connection between what is happening in syria and what is happening in iran where there is a connection obvious connection because iraq is syria has been. and the us the dream has been iran's closest value for over two decades i mean. this is. the main route of iran include lebannon into into the whole region into influencing israel if passage through june falls apart. iran is standing to lose a very strong rally because any government would take place to take

the government in syria whether it be. western ally and democracy which is not very likely or muslim muslim brothers who are sunis of who are very hostile to shoes she ate in iran. any regime. would be either hostile to iran or far from cooperating with iran as much as the bashar assad regime has been so iran is standing to do those. supply of weapons to the syrian opposition enough to upset the regional arms balance right now no break no what would i hear i think saudi arabia started and started to supplying them with weapons but we are talking about like weapons so this as far as or as long as that is what is happening i don't think

this will change the balance of power in the middle east that they are still very weak it's a possible that they can be simultaneous interventions in syria and iran doesn't seem likely i don't see the european european union or nato going into syria and i don't see the european union or nato. taking part in an attack against iran this could be nato could. who would try to draw the europeans into attacking targets in iran. don't seem very likely you have to accept it thank you very much for joining us you know you're welcome. dear mom i'm sorry that i had to do this i've been in so much pain in the past year

that i can't take it anymore the stomach and chest pains have been getting worse and no doctor has been able to help me please know that i'll finally be at peace with no more pain i wish i could have had a life with it was a bit always pictured her being my wife and mother to my kids i love you all see you all in heaven when your time comes i'm going to meet jesus christ. thousands of u.s. troops in iraq received one of these drugs a drug called lariam and it may have prevented many soldiers from getting sick the question tonight is whether or not soldiers were adequately warned about it's where side effects serious life changing side effects.
