chief to bind nations together to form a formidable anti-crisis force with the region's central bank policing everyone's finances but critics say it's a plan to seize political power and not a cure. while the netherlands all just stick to the euro road house conservatives scoop the majority vote they may form a coalition with the labor party with similar economic views but the pro europe parties are still set to renegotiate some austerity measures. french president francois hollande has urged israel to choose a diplomatic path to resolve its conflict with iran next for some inside all the story r. t. talks with. a political scientist at the university of tel. not

said harvey and jesse professor of political science at the university of tehran it's great to have you with us sir today it's a pleasure to be here so even this just hosted a huge international event all the nonaligned movement summit with hundred twenty countries present at this event regardless to us in israel the warnings not to do so what message exactly is iran sending out there. you are basically attempted to say that we are so late that the way the west has a time to. the principle of message for you on. was. convincing the international community particularly the west that iran is not isolated let's resolve our issues. on the basis of negotiation rather than sanctions rather than diplomatic pressure rather than

political isolation well one could call it probably diplomatic power you have hundred twenty countries coming to you regardless emerick is saying don't go this play of such diplomatic power does this immunize you maybe from a possible strike that everyone has been talking about course and. not. all that means that these royally a would attack you don't because that would not serve their interests that would not help them to achieve their objectives. it would be. basically costly for them to they can begin this drug they can begin the ball but they're not you on would respond when iran is going. to respond is going to respond i mean these are the important question which is this cannot predict. and in fact no one can predict all iran is going to respond but do you have like a guess how much could

a war with iran cost the global economy but no doubt i mean as soon as there is the first planes or the first missiles are flying all the wrong i mean the price of oil is going through. at least for a while and that would. basically economy problems now. that would be a very helpful incentive for the global economy will says what started talking about this possible strike. the united states is have different views on whether this strike should take place or not what will happen in your opinion after the u.s. presidential election i guess if president obama is reelected he would have time to. work out a plan that would be been appreciated for both america and iran up to this point

the american. basically can see that the pressure. in the presidential election the kind of dismissed the pressure from business. i guess president obama would be more willing to take greece for diplomatic efforts well you just mentioned that you don't actually think that israel would go ahead with the strike but if it were to start something does it actually have the capitalists to fight a war with. up to this moment almost. not totally convinced that is. doing that basically for putting pressure on international community and particularly in america in a presidential election they want to get more they want to. make america accept lines which is no enrichment or disease in richmond on iraq because they feel that i mean right there is a best time to pressure america for accepting that red line if america accept that

red line which they have not accept that they are not there that they redline is iran having basically the actual weapons but in case they decide to attack to me they will not achieve their objectives they're not they don't have the capability to attack iran at most they can attack by missiles and planes to places. which that too would not. mean see iran. basically not to pursue its nuclear program in fact let me put it that way. that can bring the radical of iran radicals in terms of. nuclear program those who are all going for nuclear weapons in other words dad would be the best. case scenario for them that the israeli attack. can basically. to me. strengthen the hands of the radicals ones that are. what the absolute majority of

the iranian pundits and the leads. they don't want the weapons to me what they want is a capability. it seems to tell the two thousand and three that iran doesn't want the weapons iran wants the capability but what is your personal take on ahmadinejad's saying that he wants to wipe israel off the face of our course this is to me mostly a rather a rather than a plan but it's something that a president the country comes out and says to the world media to me that's very unfortunate. that the president of the country would say that but i'm not at all convinced or rather convinced opposite that there is no plan. well walking is. from the map of the earth but ok with very strong rhetoric like you've said i mean president of your country saying he wants israel gone from the map from the world map with the rest of the world still not convinced that you guys don't want to make

a nuclear bomb what other cards iran have to prevent a war. to the rest of the world you can say that particular you can say a few countries countries that really call the shots let's let's say it like that exactly yes i fully agree on that. yes. not convinced that iranian. space will. they may decide to. wage a war on iraq but what can we do in preventing the war. to convince the international community that our programs on this peace. national community. called to on what we can. also do. bringing influential figures. of the war to iran. presenting our case to convincing them base no

reason. why the weapons a number of important it's a national relation they were to shoot or do. basic we. can see that in this situation iran should have nuclear weapons. but i will argue. that fourteen reason why iran is not pursuing and does not one to have. nuclear weapons. and the reason is that is not going to enhance security. in the region and internationally that would be very stupid of the wrong. one it's broken when talk a little bit about the sanctions iran's oil revenues have declined since the western sanctions won in place and i know that the government has come out and sat anywhere in times that it hasn't really affected anything but they have these

sanctions have eaten into iranian economy really haven't they school or no dog the sanctions are the important impact in the wrong but if you say that. to convince the rain in. richmond no they are not in the long term sanctions are going to have to you know very much and that's why all doing all along. in fact. situation is with the current situation is very good for the americans why they should change the course so that's why to me why it is why the americans are all going against israel is that we can achieve our objectives in the bushes. and that's a very. excellent plan for the americans they have cornered you don't put a lot of pressure all sorts of pressure on the board.

but what about from the iranian side to me that's that's not that's not. a very good situation. changed the element of the calculus. that the strategic calculus so that the americans. feel that ok it's not going to remain the same. introduction of another element the military option. would change the. strategic landscape. a lot of americans pressuring israelis don't take any don't take any action which would change. you know another topic that the united states and iran actually disagree on is syria and whether stay or leave how long should iran help the current government in syria to hold on and if. it would that make the iranian

government feel a little vulnerable now unfortunately to particularly saudi arabia and qatar is to a lesser extent the talking. serious situation is in a very dire situation many people are being killed. and i doubt that. things are going to be resolved their c.e.o. for. decades. is not going to be the same they're going to be so much engaged with them what does it do to run for iraq especially assad goes and he will probably go sooner or later it depends who. iran to me the best case scenario would be to preserve the regime. to preserve at least this state.

coming actively being involved. with the turkey by the saudis particularly to come up with this is. some. sort of national unity government can be formed. but they're. going up from the power that will be the best case or the most probable case otherwise it is going to be. chaos for. four years to call. it is not going to be contained within syria quickly lebanon and iraq is going to be influenced and when they are influenced yemen cannot be. from the situation so he cannot be immune from the situation you don't talk you cannot be immune from the situation and rather the whole region your the the all the all going to be impacted if if the conflict is not contained within the sea the professor had in jazz the

the u.s. congress on his former golfer on palma one of the highest awards for an american citizen a congregational gold medal. but first british prime minister david cameron says he's profoundly sorry for what he calls the double injustice of the hillsborough football disaster in one thousand nine hundred eighty nine ninety six liverpool fans died after a crush at sheffield wednesday ground in an f.a. cup semifinal between the reds and nottingham forest following an independent report into a previously unseen documents mr cameron told the house of call this the crowd safe there had been compromised in every level police had failed to do enough and also try to blame livable fines for the disaster valerie analysis of post-mortems revealed a swift response from the emergency services could have saved up to forty one lives the report also found out that one hundred sixteen out of one hundred sixty four police statements were and i quote amended to remove all to comment on favorable to

south yorkshire police. with the weight of the new evidence in this report it is right for me today as prime minister to make a proper apology to the families of the ninety six they have suffered over the past twenty three years indeed the new evidence that we're presented with today makes clear in my view. these families have suffered a double injustice the injustice of the appalling of events the failure of the state to protect their loved ones and the indefensible wait to get to the truth and then the injustice of the denigration of the deceased that they were somehow at fault for their own deaths elsewhere spain and barcelona striker david vader is back in action after being sidelined for eight months with a broken leg however the thirty year old has yet to start again for the catalans this season as he struggles to regain his place in the starting line up but spain's all time leading scorer could be set for his first start of the season and spartak moscow in next tuesday's champions league tie look at this and that i haven't

it has today well the biggest treated for night was the special appearance of time world heavyweight champion evander holyfield. he's made his fish chips and most going to join the celebration i'm honored to be here and to realize a lot of great fighters came out of russia and you know it you know it was quite a tad they wasn't like they wasn't buying professional now they playing professional and you can see that kind of make what the make the world box bigger. but over the past two decades the federation has produced eighteen champions city maine and five women of the first come in just three months to the edge of the organization up and coming cruiserweight daily was among those present while the evening's host to john w b a heavyweight champion volley can be totally failed to

great big things david payne is now thirty nine and retired from the books in three years ago to take up politics but he still holds dean in a sport that has developed at a record pace over the past two decades bush jumped out of the worst of this is more than just an anniversary for me professional boxing in russia as well as many other institutions emerge with the collapse of the soviet union but still it was a new sport and probably not everybody realized what it really was the names of promoters and boxers weren't known to the general public but were to those who are into boxing more knowing they are widely known and from those modest beginnings the past twenty years has seen the emergence of some of the world's most famous boxers such as coasted soon the first undisputed world champion the country has produced who was given the ball who would fall based folks are similar or those were given for the best training grammar and referee acknowledging the federations gratitude

for cool their hard work and marking a milestone in the short but productive history of russian professional boxing nikolai jones. well meanwhile mike tyson has a right wing heavyweight champions the klitschko brothers to be more entertaining in the ring the ukrainian siblings hold all five world titles between them and last week here in moscow elder brother vitali defended his w.b.c. belt with a technical knockout against less than an opinion man welsh however the forty one year old was booed after what turned out to be a short all round fight something former champion tyson thinks needs to be a thing of the past. instead of bachman is not bad just ahead we didn't really exciting as it should be but. in a we have to we have people individuals who want excitement we don't look at the art of play with those clips very good guys. good friday but we want to feel. brewer are and then that the particular have

a professor about the particular you know population is friday you know. elsewhere arnold palmer has become only the second to go for ever to receive a congressional gold medal one of the highest honors that can be bestowed on a u.s. citizen was awarded for his contributions to golf and his civic contributions to the nation the eighty three year old becomes the first sports person in history to receive all three of the united states highest civilian on is the other two being the national sports award on the presidential medal of freedom is currently fix from new time p.g.a. tour wins list with sixty two including seven major championships as well as his sporting success parma was also acknowledged for his charitable work including the march of dimes nature conservation cancer prevention gentleman and women's and children's health but it's his sporting legacy that will be remembered best according to long time rival jack nicklaus. together

arnold and i won just over ten million dollars in our career today players make that new year we couldn't be happier for them. but they all should thank arnold palmer. they need to understand appreciate what arnold did to grow the game popularizer in the foundation he created a now the start of this season's n.h.l. campaign is in real jeopardy this still no agreement between the league and players union over how to divide up the sports revenue the current deal expires this weekend meaning a lockout is a real possibility and an agreement still seems some way off. the players' union came in and made a proposal. the proposal was really not much different other than a couple of things around the edges the more last proposal that they had made in which we had indicated was clearly not acceptable and they made a response

a for opposing. it obviously has to be studied we hope they're going to be studying our proposal further to it is too early for say. whether or not this is going to represent any meaningful progress. in the case there's been a rude awakening for champions to moscow as they saw the start of the season to an abrupt end following the two defeats in metal i need to go back and open for the hard side in the first period before canadian justin hodgman added enough to drop out much of that first win of the season but then i'm a stay top for at least another day. and that is all from the world of sport and i will be back with plenty more and just under two hours time here and then the wild weather is next.
