so. this is breaking news this hour protests a story in the u.s. embassy in yemen with heavy gunfire. fired at the crowds. while on to american projects also continue to rage in egypt over you are filmed that money is blom riot police have been deployed in cairo to disperse demonstrators who threw molotov cocktails at the american embassy and we are bringing you live pictures from cairo of clashes between hundreds of protesters and security forces that. french president francois hollande has urged

to choose a diplomatic path to a result that conflict with iran up next to her with some insight on the story all she talks with not so hey jan drizzy a political scientist at the university of tehran. not that hard in jazz the 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 if 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 word not to do so what message exactly is iran sending out there. you are basically attempted to say

that we are slated the way the west has a time to. the principle of a message for you on. was. one missing the international community and 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 how hundred twenty countries coming to you regardless america 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 or some no not. all that could mean studies royally a would attack iraq because that would not serve their interests that would not help them back she their objectives. would

be. basically costly for them to they can begin this drug they can begin the ball but they're not you know on would respond when iran is going. to respond paul iran is going to respond i mean these are the important question which is this cannot predict. and in fact no one can predict call your own 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 parts of the oil is going to. jump at least for a while and that would. basically economy problems now. that would be a very helpful incentive for the global economy this was 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 begin appreciative 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 reading to take risk 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 convinced 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. great lines which is no enrichment or zero enrichment on iraq because they feel that i mean right there is a best time to pressure america for accepted that red line if america accept that red line which they have not accepted that right now their backs 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 few places. which that too would not. see are on. basically not to

pursue its nuclear program effectively put it that way that can that can bring the radical of iran radicals in terms of. nuclear program those who are all doing for nuclear weapons in other words that would be the best. case scenario for them that the israeli attack. can basically. to me. strengthen the hands of the radicals who ones that are. what the absolute majority of iranian pundits and the elites should pay the once the weapons to me what they want is a capability all doing that since two thousand two thousand and three that iran doesn't want the weapons iran wants the capability but what is your personal take on ahmadinejad saying that he wants to wipe off israel of the face of 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 very 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 see that particular you can see a few countries few countries that really call the shots let's let's say like that exactly yes i fully agree on that. yes. not convinced that when you make up a. space where. they may decide to

. wage a war on iraq what can we do in preventing that war is. to convince the international community. programs on this piece to national community. called you on what we can. also. bringing influential figures. of the war to your own. presenting our case to convincing them that is no reason. for you all probably weapons a number of important it's a national relation they were to shoot or do. basically we. conceded in that situation iran should have nuclear weapons. but i will argue. that fourteen reason why iran is not pursuing those not one to

have. nuclear weapons. the reason is that is not going to enhance security. in the region and internationally that would be very stupid of the wrong. 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 set anywhere in time so he hasn't really effected anything but they have these sanctions have eaten into iranian economy really haven't they course or no dog the sanctions are said in court that impact and they will what if you say that. to convince the rein 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 that why the americans are all going against israel is that we can achieve our objectives in the pushing. and that's a very. excellent plan for the americans they have cornered it on with a lot of pressure and all sorts of pressure on the board. but what about from the iranian side to me that's not 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. so that's why. a lot of americans are pressuring israelis don't take any don't take any action which would change. strategic plan to 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 due 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 the next. decades. is not going to be the same soon they're going to be so much engaged with the much as it did to iran or for iraq especially assad goes and he will probably go sooner or later depends who. iran to me the best case scenario would be to preserve the regime. to preserve at least this state. but the. coming actively being involved. with the turkey but the saudis particularly to come up with this illusion. that some. sort of national unity government can be formed. with this state but they're. going 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. and when they are influenced yemen cannot be. from the situation suited cannot be your problem situation you don't and tortie cannot be immune from the situation but rather the whole region jordan or they're all going to be impacted if if the conflict is not contained within the series professor had in jazz thank you very much for this interview pleasure to be with you. enjoyed. wealthy british soil the sun holds a spot on the front of the. market

those were our top stories this hour and right now paul brings us the latest. well i won't come along it to the world of sports is what's coming up. sorry the british prime minister david cameron says he's profoundly sorry for the double injustice of the hillsborough football disaster which back in ninety six liverpool fans back in one thousand nine hundred ninety. stars on the show the russian boxing federation celebrates its twentieth anniversary with a star studded awards evening here in moscow. on the top on how the u.s. congress on his form of golf on a par with one of the highest awards for an american citizen a congressional gold medal. but first you know 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 ninety ninety six liverpool fans died after a crash in sheffield wednesday's ground in an f.a. cup semifinal between the reds and nottingham forest following an independent report into previously unseen documents mr cameron told the house of commons the crowd safety had been compromised at every level police had failed to do enough and it also tried to blame liverpool fans for the disaster while our analysis of post-mortems revealed a swift response from emergency services could have saved up to forty one lives the report also found the one hundred sixteen out of one hundred sixty four police statements were and i quote amended to remove all to comment unfavorable 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 that these families have. suffered a double justice the injustice of the appalling 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 strike udev advance is back in action after being sidelined for eight months with a broken leg however the thirty year old is 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 at sparta moscow in next tuesday's champions league tie. and that i haven't watched more school you know emery's a coach who i have affection for he helped me very much like the others that i worked with of course i wish him luck in his new project i will be very happy to see him again but obviously after the match we would like to have the three points

it will be difficult for sure he's a great coach and he loves the profession and works hard for sure he's doing a great job and the match will not be easy. now to boxing where the trash talking continues ahead of this weekend's a middleweight title unification about. his junior takes on surgery martinez in las vegas on saturday the mexican is unbeaten his forty six pro fights and puts his w.b.c. title on the line where he's threatening to end the career result in time rival. i have really prepared myself for this one i trained in dancing for a long time because i don't need much more than dancing to beat him up junior says i'm a ballerina this is good enough to break his face a thousand times i will punish him a lot before knocking him out he will suffer a lot if the problem was not well you know my worry that well it's time to fight he's always running and running and he doesn't fight with the people he doesn't fight for the sport this saturday he's going to have me in front of him and all

over him and he's never tasted that you'll see i'm not only going to beat you i'm going to retire this saturday i'm going to retire you from box in. now staying with pugilism in the russian professional boxing federation celebrated their twenty year anniversary this week with a lavish award ceremony here in moscow little of value as the host of the star studded event with legendary american around the holyfield making a guest star parents like child reports. it was a big occasion for russia's book tours as past and present gathered at the police and we had the sports complex took on a book says trains and promoting have all helped books in russia to have the six says it has today while the biggest treated for night was the special appearance of the time world heavyweight champion evander holyfield. he's made his first trip to moscow to join the celebration but i'm honored to be here and because. a lot of

great fighters came out of russia and you know it you know at one point in time they wasn't like they wasn't playing professional now they playing professional and you can see that kind of make work to make the world box bigger. but over the past two decades the federation has produced eighteen champions city maine and five women with the first come in just three months off the edge of the organization up and coming cruiserweight daily c.a.b.g. was among those present while the evening's host teuton w b a heavyweight champion volley and be totally failed to great britain as david haye is now thirty nine and retired from 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 just thought of this is more than just an anniversary for me professional boxing in russia as well as many other

institutions emerged 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 printers and boxers weren't known to the general public but were to those who were into boxing 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 corseted soon the first undisputed world champion the country has produced who was given the award for best folks or similar owners were given so the best training promoter and referee knowledge in the federations gratitude for cool very hard work and marking a milestone in the short but productive history of russian professional boxing nikolai jones. well elsewhere mike tyson has a reigning 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 the tally defended his w.b.c. count with a technical knockout blow against les and i replied that manuel however the forty one year old was booed after what turned out to be a sure full round fight something former champion tyson thinks needs to be a thing of the past. stated bachmann is not bad just ahead with division and not really exciting as it should be but. we have them we have people individuals who want excitement we don't look at the art of those clips very good guy. good friday but we want to feel. brewer are and then that the particular have a professor that the particular you know proclamations freida you know. elsewhere arnold palmer has become only the second golfer ever to receive a congregational gold medal one of the highest honors that can be restyled on a u.s.

citizen was awarded for his contributions to gulf 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 honor as the other two big national sports award and the presidential medal of freedom parma is currently fit for the all time p.g.a. tour wins list with sixty two including seven major titles as well as his sporting success palmer was also acknowledged for his charitable work including the march of dimes nature conservation cancer prevention and women's and children's health but it's his sporting legacy 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 at the start of this season's n.h.l. campaign is in real jeopardy there's still no agreement between the league and the 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 than a couple of things around the edges the 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 too it is too early to say. whether or not this is going to represent any meaningful progress. and we finish with some sad news for my european

greco-roman wrestling champion to win has died of a heart attack and the age of just thirty five in two thousand and five he won gold for russia at the european championships but cheering a lot of years of his career out to him that competed for better or worse from a sporting family he was the elder brother of former russia international ice hockey player you have gagne out to him his death apparently came off to a recreational game of hockey. and that is all from the world of sport for now but you know we have with plenty more in just under two hours time here on r.t. to join in that.
