broadcasting live from moscow this is art to you very very bring for me kevin now in top stories tonight. choosing who will lead them after ousting president mubarak a year ago but voters are concerned the elections being scuppered by representative stale candidates and the hardline military rulers. cheerleaders get together in brussels to dine and discuss salvation for the eurozone with money believing it's time to start it came off of a new instead of the shifting towards growth of investment strategies. and breakthrough or breakdown iran's nuclear program is in focus the pressure once again tonight with new negotiations between the ground in the west iran says it

wants sanctions eased for its cooperation while western nations are pushing for disclosure. next an insight from inside washington about america's tough stance on iran right now and it's impacted resolving the country's nuclear issue. we're 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 kucinich 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. that bail we see why it's support among congressmen so your

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 iran 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 vainglorious notion that somehow we can settle our differences with iran through war how many people share your

views among your colleagues the law of levon ten eleven that's how many votes out or out of 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 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 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 or do you

think about that i mean iranians are not sweet talkers either the united states has taken the 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 the honorable how we wage war on you if you don't do our do our bidding section on 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 same actions 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 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 mostly 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 of 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 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 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 is where is he standing in your opinion i think you've characterized it 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. 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 the 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 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 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 britain ghazi 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.
