again the headlines for you now. head to the polls in egypt's presidential elections since hosni mubarak's three decade was ended for thirteen names on the ballots leading islamists number of mubarak. many say they feel the frustration with the choices available. as berlin tells the eurozone members to tighten their belts. on the five on its own targets budget cuts slashed less than half of that eleven billion dollars to. tens of thousands of students marched across the country. one hundredth day of rallies

against whites intuition beat authorities adopted new emergency laws restricting protests recently few demonstrators and. policy looks at whether washington's tough stance on iran is helping resolve the country's nuclear issue a special interview is next. i i. were sitting down with congressman dennis kucinich who co-sponsored the bill that was introduced in congress to end america's no contact policy with iran and engage in direct talks congressman kasich thank you very much for going to be with me as i understand the bill that you co-sponsored this kind of a response to the big sanctions bill that was actually passed by the house of representatives and part of which was to make it illegal for any american diplomat to make any contacts within
12:32 am
a rainy an official that bill received wide support among congressmen so you're up against the majority of your colleagues who favor the ban is that was that some kind of a symbolic move on your part or do you really think it would be able to sway congressional people in that direction of thought to and to lift the no contact policy with it when there's an overwhelming sentiment in the in the congress to get tougher with the rem but what's the basis of it we're being told we should have any contact with them we're being told that we shouldn't be negotiating with them we're being told. to get ready for war all of that is wrong what we need to do is to have direct negotiations we need to be talking with iran and we need to stop this vein glorious notion that somehow
12:33 am
we can settle our differences with iran through war how many people share your views among two or colleagues the long levon ten or eleven that's how many votes where you either are not out of the four hundred thirty five members but the american people are not prepared for this country to get into another war. if mr netanyahu wants to pay for a war once that's up to him i would advise against it because i think israel's security would actually be undermined by an attack on iran but the united states should not cannot and must not be dragged into a war by any other country which calls itself our friends so if you're a friend with someone. your friends don't get you into trouble your friends help you stay out of trouble and unfortunately we have some friends that want to get us into trouble one of the arguments that your opponents make is that why should think
12:34 am
u.s. take the first step and lift the no contact policy lead and do it for or what do you think about that i mean iranians are not sweet talkers either the united states has taken a lead on this so we should take the lead on diplomacy if congress is sending a message to the world but says look we don't have to talk to you. we don't have to negotiate with you. wage war on you if you don't do our do our bidding so it's not how you treat people that's not the way that you solve things that's not the way that you create a safer world we must use diplomacy person because then it's i think he would have great at diplomacy it's about the size making concessions to solve their problems and engaging in direct talks with iran would mean making certain concessions to iran and some of your most hawkish colleagues they hate the thought of it why do
12:35 am
you think that's the case we have to think differently we have to but we have to believe that peace is possible what what we have is a type of thinking coming out of washington that says wars inevitable when you say wars inevitable you actually create of war a self-fulfilling prophecy so you get war we wonder why do we have war because people think in terms of war we have to stop thinking in terms of war i want to go back to the big sanctions bill that was passed by the house of representatives those sanctions are tied to so many things other than iran's nuclear program like human why alleged ties with terrorists and want to analyst told me even if iran makes all the concessions on its nuclear program still the same actions will still be in place a situation that makes diplomacy virtually impossible confrontation more likely and i want to ask you do american policymakers and lawmakers who like being
12:36 am
constantly on the edge of of a confrontation on the edge of war sanctions are another form of warfare or sanctions are just a step away from shooting the mindset which exists here in washington is generally want to brinksmanship. going right to the edge pushing things the problem with that is there's always room for miscalculation especially when. part of that prevailing mentality says you can't even have contact with. the other side i mean imagine for a moment at the height of the cuban missile crisis if nikita khrushchev and john f. kennedy. were not speaking to each other it was the fact that they communicated that caused the crisis of eventually to be resolved do you think it's it's eventually all about the u.s. wanting to overthrow the iranian leadership one way or another the people of iran.
12:37 am
have never let a foreign power determine. through invasion determine what the outcome is going to be now they do have experience with the united states having overthrown most of deck and installed the shah. that set the stage for a very troubled period in dealing with iran the people of iran are very concerned when their nuclear scientists are sas unaided. how does that happen who's doing it is this a decision that's being made in high ranks of government. so we should forget about trying to conquer other countries that's an old model that's old thinking from hundreds of years ago. we tried that in iraq it did
12:38 am
not work we tried it in afghanistan it did not work we keep trying it we tried it in libya it does not work there people want us to try it in syria it will not work and it's not going to work in iran and the sooner that we understand that the better it is because then we look at what are our options what's interesting according to polls the majority of americans seven out of ten americans said yes to diplomacy with iran to the lawmakers hear their voices every member of congress has improved hearing when we get close to an election. so. if we're far away from an election it sometimes becomes more difficult to hear. and there are other voices. the voices of other interest groups or the voices of.
12:39 am
arms merchants of war contractors people who just make money off a war they don't care where the war is or who it hurts i just want to make money and if they can push the u.s. and spawning another war they'll do it and members of congress have to be wise as to when they're being played by interest groups who may want them to vote in one way but it would be a way that would be adverse to the interests of the american people and what do you think about president obama's handling of the situation he seems to be catering to warmongers and advocates of diplomacy at the same time i mean it's kind of hard to to figure out well where is what is he standing in your opinion i think you've characterized it accurately. the president's been sent out mixed messages now that might be a strategy. but i would prefer to see the president of united states. take a leadership and say that we're not going to another war and we're going to use
12:40 am
diplomacy i would i would hope that our president would take that tack instead of occasionally throwing a nod to the hawks who are looking for any hint of . or inflection that could start to stir up the forces of war i wanted to ask you about words political solution i was watching one of the news channels and the anchor was discussing with the reporter statement made by the white house press secretary who said there needs to be a political solution you know ghana sent a political solution with that with the taliban and all that and they were astonished by the words political solution they were like political solution what and i want to ask you why are the words political solutions so unpopular in america anyone who's ever tried to learn a new language knows that when you're trying to learn a new language it sometimes takes
12:41 am
a while to get familiar with the with the resonance of it with the structures of thought that go behind it so when we talk about a political solution is that a new language that's a new language absolutely when we talk about. coming to a conclusion based on diplomacy that's in the language you're a lawmaker could you tell me how just how trigger happy people in congress are when it comes to war what you know i've seen this phenomenon. where most members of congress are relatively placid peace loving people but something happens when we're on the threshold of conflict and i saw this happen when the u.s. government made a decision to bomb serbia. the people who are placid reasonable suddenly war fever moves. and war fever has

a way of. infecting people thinking like a virus let's talk a little bit about syria what's the general mood in congress to syria is it poorly intervention is it anti well i think it's mixed there are members of congress particularly the senate who have been calling for intervention going intervention on whose behalf the more you look at it there are so many different groups that are playing in syria right now the u.s. intervention could bring about a triumph for islamic fundamentalism to listen to the latest reports just like you saw the ok to flag flying over bengazi when. the government. of libya had fallen so just because you intervene doesn't mean you're going to get the results that you want actually there's almost a rule that intervention will get the opposite results that you want thank you very

used for the first time this season by all the teams but because they are less jura ball than in the past teams are having to pit stop more and that is made for a far more unpredictable racing monaco's tight winding circuit means there are a few places to overtake and ferrari believe pit stops could be the difference between winning and losing. it offers different engineering challenges and you need to set the car up quite differently for monaco you know in monaco you don't really attack all the corner entries as hard as you would have a normal circuit course those barriers barriers at the exit so when you set the carpet a little bit differently but. i mean it's a new challenge again trying to get the tires to work and trying to get the right car balance is korea's difficult so i think all circuits often offer a good challenge and that brings to the end of the sport for the moment got the weather coming up next.
