thanks for joining our t.v. this thursday i am karen taraji with a look at what's making headlines to be viewed the video of outlines the ups and downs of his political reforms gives his view on the protests in russia the fate of the arab spring and the jailed tycoon called of course still the outgoing president was speaking to the media for the last time before leaving the kremlin. a month before egypt's presidential vote confusion and disappointment over the election campaign grow the recent reinstatement of mubarak's former prime minister as they counted it has cast a shadow over the results of the revolution which toppled the previous regime. british lie detector experts clear a russian and any involvement in the killing of former security officer objects on

the incl in london six years ago on the day will go boy is the u.k.'s prime suspect in the murder but the case a main stumbling block in russian protests relations some. contradictory statements from the israeli leadership on the iranian nuclear issue has showcased how the tension around the issue has soared next year on our team we discussed the situation with retired u.s. colonel douglas macgregor statement. we're sitting down with douglas macgregor every tired army colonel who fought in the gulf war and was referred to by some officials as the best fighter the us army has got mr macgregor thank you very much for joining me good to be here president obama has put forward an ultimatum for iran either make progress with negotiators or face consequences consequences meaning war some say

a strike may happen within the next few months in your opinion how realistic is that should we expect the war in summer topical question right now in washington d.c. i think the answer right at the moment is no president obama is not remotely interested in waging war against iran so let's be clear about that no one at the top of the united states military establishment is interested in waging war against iran and the intelligence community has made it abundantly clear that iran is nowhere near the development of a nuclear warhead or the capacity to deliver one so we had those things up it's very very obvious that at least in the places that count the white house the department of defense there is no interest in waging a war on iran and let me say something that's of great there's a great push from israeli influence groups not president obama to just back a potential strike and as you said they had ministration says the iranians haven't

even decided to build a bomb so all this war talk is based on what it's based really on i think the american israeli public affairs committee and it's a subordinate elements are affiliated elements they represent enormous quantities of money that over many years have cultivated enormous influence and power in congress and you simply are talking is just to appease the lobbyists well i think you've got a lot of people on the hill who fall into two categories one category that is interested in money and wants to be reelected and they don't want to run the risk of the various lobbies that are that are pushing. military action against iran to contribute money to their opponents colonel macgregor some say these trade leadership sees this summer as that window of opportunity that they don't want to miss for two reasons one iran has very few friends in the wage and syria its closest ally is

a mess right now and second presidential elections coming up in the u.s. some say israel is going to use their leverage over president obama and it's going to be very hard for him to say you know what do you think about that window of opportunity for israel well if you were to launch a strike in the summer this would cause a dramatic downturn in the economy just consider that we had a rumor that supposedly iranian commandos had destroyed a pipeline in saudi arabia other fanciful nonsense and eventually it was denied by remco the saudi arabian oil corporations. but in that short period of time or oil skyrocketed on the market up beyond one hundred fifteen dollars a barrel but the point is just the rumor of action was enough to send the oil through the roof so we had a foretaste there of the dramatic economic consequences for the world if we move ahead and support israel in its desire to strike iran that's why i don't think president obama is remotely interested so they don't think that the israeli

leadership sees this summer as a window of opportunity though they may but look don't count out the israeli population let's not assume that everyone in israel is anxious to see iran destroyed i think that's misleading there's more division of opinion in israel than we think so again how long can mr netanyahu and mr barak play this game of the century trying to bully president obama and push him into an action that he would otherwise choose not to take did ministration is basically saying all they need is evidence that iran has acquired a nuclear weapons capability and here's what i want to ask you about this capability issue because it's very vague i mean it means being capable of doing something but not necessarily doing it yes how do you see it was deliberately vague it's deliberately ambiguous so the various people can define it as they like what is a capability to do something in terms of weapons nuclear weapons development well how

much in rich geranium are we talking about is it just in rich in uranium does it involve packaging the enriched uranium does it involve a test of some type no one has been very specific and i think that's purposeful because you could if you're sitting in the white house right now and you're sitting at the cia n.s.a. or in the pentagon you can always say well we said capability we don't see it yet so is the purpose of that to to keep the u.s. way at least in this in vagueness well president obama is preeminent concern is to get reelected. and that's a very dangerous proposition right now for him depending upon what the israelis do if they launch a strike but a say on their own without consulting us independent of us entirely and they do it say late october shortly before the election obama then can say well you know we're obligated we have to help our israeli friends and he looks good if they do it

earlier then the consequences could be very profound for him because it would certainly tank our economy we would be in severe difficulty here in the united states if select we have a very narrow will so only an interventionist elite inside washington that operates independently of the american people that thinks of itself as being morally superior and justified in taking action anywhere against anyone that it deems appropriate that's the problem and the iranians are justifiably concerned about that but they have not reached the point where they can weaponize anything they don't have that capability and we do have the ability to detect that know it and respond to it they know those things what we need to do is move beyond this ridiculous confrontational setting that both of us are trapped in and that's very hard to do in an election year when everyone is pandering to various elements of

the electorate for money and votes colonel let's say world powers p five plus one negotiate something but the results don't satisfy as well and the west and they do go to war in summer as some predict what kind of immediate backlash should they expect iran struck a chord is subversion. the ability to subvert so the retaliation would be in the form of terrorism it would be in the form of what i would call asymmetric attacks in other words high payoff low investment in other words use what you can beyond your borders in populations friendly to you to attack the other person's interests now we shouldn't underestimate how much damage that could involve and remember we know the difference since hizbollah as well as other as iranian elements are here in the united states so we know that we would sustain losses here at home there would be damage here in the united states how many bombs would you have to explode in public malls to do enough damage to awaken everybody to what's going on my point

is you know those are the kinds of things that i would expect but a direct military confrontation would be a losing proposition for them they might be able to inflict damage on our forces and our naval forces but not on the scale that would make any difference to the outcome they they would sustain enormous damage and enormous losses what about long term the fact some say even if you were and haven't decided to build a bomb they sure will if attacked well i was something more important that we talk about what they will do if they are attacked i think we should look at the rest of the world what will the rest of the world do if israel attacks iran remember this is an unprovoked assault. the israelis can claim otherwise and insist otherwise and paint this picture of enormous danger represented to israel but the truth is no one buys that my view has always been that if you do this if israel does this that iran will very definitely have nuclear weapons they won't have to build them they'll get

them people will provide those to them they will have more help than they know what to do with any iran will grow more hostile and more bitter and more angry and more dangerous than it has ever been i want to ask you about syria and ministration it's kind of ruled out a military intervention saying it's too complicated what in your opinion. keeps the u.s. from attacking syria there are several things first of all there is a quiet recognition behind closed doors that if assad is removed however much people do not like hoffa's or assad that the government that succeeds in will be a radical islamist sunni muslim government hostile to israel hostile to the west hostile to shia islam in other words. not a good development from the standpoint of the united states or europe. so i think that's understood secondly there's an understanding that syria actually has despite

the fact it's much smaller than iran what twenty to twenty three million people i think very good armed forces it does have an integrated air defense structure that would take some time to dismantle but its ground forces are actually very good and it's of the arab forces i would describe the syrians is probably being among the best if not the best best disciplined best officer what would be the main argument that you would suggest for the u.s. not to attack iran right now we see iran through one lens in one way we see this as a unchanging theocracy that is very of the american anti western incurable if you will know their words it's fatally stricken with this theocratic disease of religious fanaticism i don't i think it will change and i think if we can back away from this iran will evolve differently over the next ten years and we don't have to have this hostile relationship work on from taishan that

would be i mean are you that's one of my organs see another was don't look at if they wanted to change for the better look at the future look at what is driving iran what is what is iran's principle interest internal modernization economic development what do its people want israel to focus of everyone's hatred in iran absolutely no most iranians could care less about it in fact most iranians are not very friendly towards arabs so the bottom line is why are we doing what we're doing we're looking at things as though they will not change my point is that nixon had the foresight to understand china was at the beginning of a long period of change my point is that we're going to discover in the next few years that iran too is at the beginning of a long period of change thank you very much thank you.

farmer. thanks for watching the sports and these are the headlines heroes come home k h l champions did now my touchdown in moscow with a good garden cup an amazing comeback against. wild swine i get kicks by and into the champions league final after a dramatic penalty shootout win over rionda dritte. proving the way russian cash and european expertise have become a new force on the high sea. current cup winners dinar moscow have enjoyed a jubilant homecoming after claiming the title hundreds of fans turned to greet them after their triumph over god in siberia their plane touched down in the new airport just hours after they won the title decider one nil to claim the best of seven contests against

a three is the first time in the competitions for your history to have been crowned champions an improbable victory to which saw them come back in three one down in the series to number four during the banker who scored once in the final pass was thrown in the air by the fans he also revealed a picture draw my younger daughter had helped inspire the team to victory. and a lot of friends gave us great support but the most important game from my girls my princess was when we were losing that series one of them drew me these pictures it was with me for the rest of the series i showed it to my teammates and told them the most important thing is not our families believe in us and tara think it's possible. obviously a lucky charm or just hours before the team had lined up in arms a winner takes all clash guard fans packed their team's arena but despite numbering the blue and white support is very little could separate the sides and it wasn't

until seven minutes before the final buzzer that an army. grabbed the wind just to clip this goalkeeper to get imo god did do that best to find an equalizer i'm a place that people with an extra forward in the final fry of the dice but they couldn't find a way through and the nama would cry and champions. are getting caught up with somebody you know feeling. a little bit serious up to describe it but they also used the past. thirty years to mobile go you're the most important thing go for it there's not that much monaco but gave me a really good passable there was no first show it wasn't good but i don't really want to know you know what. they did up in that. time football by i mean it beat reality dritte on penalties at the been a back to set up a champions league final with chelsea the german side had held a two one advantage from the first leg but that was overturned in the first fifteen

minutes in madrid christiana are now scoring from the sport early on before buying another to put reality in the driving seat up a half time the time i was square again when i am robin scored a penalty himself to make it three three and i took it and that is how it stateside penalties when they did. last. sebastian's weinstock it converted to put by in the final which will be played at that allianz arena against chelsea. behind white while coach jason marino hopes the german side will lose. money. the drama today was at the highest levels but that's what makes football interesting there are wonderful players goals tension to the very end extra time penalty shoot outs and you know throughout my career i've seen many games but when i think about the fact that we can play a final in our own stadium this is something to go absolutely crazy about it's such a great objective that we have achieved and this will be something unique. good

friend. of course i want the blues to win but with a lot of respect for the roads. i just want to. see was there were. some people who. are the muscles of the game. chills who can say more. two years ago but didn't. know how to spot leading chelsea to the final blow spotted him a tayo won't know if he's got the manager's job full time until the end of the season since taking taking over as interim coach from he's won ten games from fifteen and lost only once however chelsea chief executive wrong gourlay has ruled out an early appointment. while the europa league takes center stage tonight and there will be at least one spanish side who will make it to the final half let it go madrid travel to face their league outfit and have

a healthy forty advantage from the first leg it makes athletico the favorites but away goal from jonas and ricardo costa have given valencia some hope. obviously we need to win and by two goals but we have to take into account the potential that classical madrid have we need to take into account the abilities of both the team as a whole and the individuals. well for there to be all spanish final athletic bilbao will have to overturn a two one deficit from their first leg of sporting lisbon the portuguese side welcome back my ties fernandez after a two game ban but will be missing fabien would do and alberto rodriguez three when dream although at this stage sporting are the favorites to make the final in bucharest. let's switch to tennis where world number two maria sharapova is into the quarter finals of the start got open the russian won the first set six three against clay court specialist elise cornet who then suffered

a shoulder injury at the start of the second set and hour after treatment the french qualifier could only manage one more game before having to retire to rap over will play either julio corkers or sam stosur the next. there was a similar story for you in a yankees this pulling out of her match with six seed caroline wozniacki after falling a set behind the dane will face the n.c. the german angele next i love a good day for city and because an advantage auto crashed out losing in straight sets to local wildcard bath or seven five seven six the score there. but the upset for fourth seed agnes could advance easily sort of hunger in veteran good after winning in straight sets prevent scare staying on course for her third title of the year. meanwhile russia's best martial artists have been honored at an awards ceremony in moscow the men's best athlete of the year award was given to the twenty year old world super bantamweight and featherweight kickboxing sensation you
