so you're watching r t the headlines now. head to the polls in egypt's first presidential election since hosni mubarak's three decade rule was ended thirteen names on the ballot counting in the midst of a number of what barack. many say they feel frustrated with the choices available. to us but then tells fellow eurozone members to tighten their belts the stairs he capital is under fire for slipping up on its own targets for budget cuts the government slashed less than half of a pound eleven billion euros last year. and tens of thousands of students march

across montreal market hundred day of rallies against hikes in tuition fees for teens adopted new emergency laws restricting protests these are the only field of demonstrators anger. party looks now at whether washington's a tough stance on iran is helping to resolve the country's nuclear issue cost special interview is next. we're saying 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 you 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 a rainy and official and that bill we see why it 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 the thought to and to lift the no contact policy with it when it was an overwhelming sentiment in the in the congress to get tougher with the random 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. 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 we can settle our differences with iran through war how many people share

your views among your colleagues the long eleven ten eleven that's how many votes where you 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 as a consequence 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 the

u.s. take the first step and lift the no contact policy lead and do it first 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 or thirty. it's thirteen but we don't have to negotiate with you the honorable wage war on you if you don't do our do our bidding section 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 comes from because then it's i think he would have great at diplomacy is 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 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 sanctions will still be in place a situation that makes diplomacy works really impossible confrontation more likely and i want to ask you do american policy makers and lawmakers who like being

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 you key to khrushchev and john f. kennedy. were not speaking to each other it was the fact that they communicated that caused the crisis 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.

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 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 is 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 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 are the voices of.

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 don't 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 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 where yes where is he standing in your opinion i think you've characterized accurately. the president and 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 we're not going to another war and we're going to use 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 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 but 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. 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 guys 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 but 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 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 ironclad rule that intervention will get the opposite results that you want thank you very much thank you.

the last minute football's european governing body is in moscow to promote variously ip packages the price is touching two thousand euros but despite criticism that tickets for the tournament are too expensive for believe many russians will go for the high end of the market. russia as it was second best selling market and as you may know maybe the russian market may be more likely to buy last minute than the english or the french are more likely to find their way find the place were to sleep in ukraine because of the all the is trickle connections so that's why we are doing basically a work i would last promotion operation in russia now another football news real madrid coach josie marino has signed a two year contract extension which will keep him at the club until twenty sixteen he forty nine year old took up the reins in twenty ten and last month celebrated steering reality their first domestic title in four years adding naturally to their copper del ray success which he won in his first season in charge we are going to

start christiana rinaldo has praised his coach saying he's up there with manchester united sir alex ferguson who played under before moving to the burton about three seasons ago. almost the same chords as in world. approaches. to. focus it was like a second father are going on when and where i've been much so we saw so many things you know to go on in my in my career. it was amazing i'd come up with more and more from them but for me it was. very nice things to improve myself all the time to keep learning so. it was a solid morning because groote one of marina's first signings that chelsea didier drogba is set to leave the new crowned european champions this summer the thirty thought thirty four year old ivory coast star will become

a free agent when his contract with the blues expires next month in total he scored one hundred fifty seven goals during his eight year spell at the club and netted the equaliser and winning penalty against buying it in the champions league final last weekend. to the n.b.a. now and the miami heat is just a win away from the western conference finals they beat the indiana pacers one hundred fifteen to eighty three to lead the series three to over half the points for all miami coming from james and dwyane wade while the pacers had an off game converting only thirty three percent of their shots their day made worse by an injury disarm and danny granger limped off with a bad ankle in the second half. now with a twenty twelve london game starting in just under nine weeks time four time olympic swimming champion alexander popof will be among the russian representatives taking part in the limpid torch relay which is underway across the u.k. the forty year old is one of eight thousand people from all over the world will

have the honor of running three hundred meters with the torch which has eight thousand dollars in its design to represent each mile and each run on its journey and as well as famous sportsmen and women tall story the great grandson of russian writer lear tolstoy will also be taking part along with a very proud pop or. it's not just for me it's for every torchbearer it's a non it's a privilege and it's a priest each to be part of the it's also to be one of the it's i was a. torch bearers to be part of it but it was really. elsewhere the fastest man on earth the same boat as reiterated his plans to set an unlikely mark of nine point four seconds in the hundred meter is the london olympics the twenty five year old world record holder is currently preparing for the golden spike meeting in the czech city of the that are on friday the jamaican is using this event among other things to a climate ice european weather and he says he's prepared to anything that could

interfere with his title defense in the hundred and two are not victims in the british capital. much much more experience know what it takes to be a. i've been through it all i must say. i do work from and you back to be the best so everything i think for a lot of experience i think i'm ready for anything. sharp controlled me an injury control of me and different things and finally ferrari belief formula one's new pirelli tires will have a big say on the outcome of this weekend's monaco grand prix the tires are being used for the first time this season by all the teams but because they are less durable than the ones in the past teams are having to pit stop more and that is made for more unpredictable races monaco's tight winding circuit means there are fewer places to overtake and ferrari believe pit stops could be the difference between winning and losing. it offers different engineering challenges and you know

if you need to set the car up quite differently from on a car you know in monaco you don't really attack all the corner entries as hard as you would or the normal circuit calls those barriers their own barriers at the exit so when you set the carpet a little bit differently but. i mean it's a challenge again phil trying to get the toss to work and trying to get the right car balance is equally as difficult so i think all circuits often offer a good challenge so that is all the sport for the moment so i'm back with more in. is that so much of. which of course. it is. summit in chicago this military decided many things in principle like ending the occupation of.
