asking for his own estimation of thinks achieved. eight years in power instead i'm up for a rainy i'm president mahmoud ahmadinejad's but has he done it will he be proudly remember it was his ambition realized and was it worth the sacrifice is his country made for the status of a nuclear state and his own voice in the face of powerful players was ahmadinejad's truly the choice and the voice of his people or a pop it in the hands of the clerics have his wishes come true as he reached the destination he says out for iran is how it's going president mahmoud ahmadinejad's . talks to. mr president is coming to an end after eight years of your rule iran finds itself in great economic difficulty it is also isolated geopolitically what would you say are your presidents as main

achievements. divorce is facing economic recession. and to care and economic crisis is an international ones and it has adversely affect the over countries also iran let's not forget that iran has been under a unilateral one sided unfair sanctions. on president it so soon. despite a dose of two problems i just told you we have made a lot of economic advancements nothing short of a miracle of course we have problems just like everywhere else in the works. but scientifically iran was ranked thirty second and now we want his rank fourteenth. in terms of scientific progress. also speed in the pace of scientific growth is eleven times more than the average in the words. this means

that we are moving forward very fast in the last eight years iran became one to the space iran law and iran. manufacture a satellite and launched into orbit iran became a nuclear power in nanotechnology in biotechnology a lot of advancements significant once it's been in and in many fields related to technology we are among the top ten in the world and these are all huge significant advancements which have occurred in the country and under my presidency in the last eight years regarding iran's geo political position. why do you say that iran is isolated are we isolated isolated from what. the western governments from the beginning of the victory of the revolution have

opposed this each day never. ever wanted to have interactions and cooperation with us they're doing the same thing after thirty four years we had a great victory because before the revolution they were dominating our minds are all but now. they cannot do this there is no domination by that therefore they are angry with us but now we have solved the strongest ties with the rest of the world that we are we are now the worst seventeenth largest economy. but before that before my presidency we were twenty seconds this is the twenty second largest economy of divorce and in the next three years we will be fifteen second to me of the work more important than everything. is that. iran has become more influential on the international arena. if we are isolated.

why is there. there is all this propaganda against this if you're in significance. why are they going into a lot of trouble. because they're doing this because we are influential because you're affecting odgers. that is why they are putting pressure on us iran is like a culture. persian persian it's like a contrary dating back seven thousand years iran is is a popular name around the world amongst the nations yes there are several countries that are against us they don't they don't want to recognize the rights of the iranian nation yes of course. mr rouhani is the newly elected president you know him personally what do you think of him. he is the president elect of iran is his respected by everyone and everybody will help him. so that he

will be successful in managing the first of the country if the candidate you were supporting wasn't disqualified from the presidential race do you think the outcome of the elections would be different. that's definitely. why didn't you contest like you said you were it is disqualification. you know i hadn't said it before that i'm going to contest it or to objects to it yes there is a law and i just obey the law. i remember when you came to power you really came by the help of the masses you were the first president who didn't come by the help of the ruling elite and you positioned your presidency as independent from the clerics eight years later how do you see the clerics now. that you see these are some historical religious social matters and issues in iran

very complicated ones. iran is the iran. people of iran are cultured people. dating back seven thousand years their civilization runs deep in history yes and because of that iran is very complicated socially and politically. my team will continue to be at the service of the people in the country and if we we are going to maintain our restoring ties with the masses of the people. this is a thaw this is my father this is going to continue. to clear extend iran. martin us like one classification one distinct classification of the society or just like other people. to have different views different inclined nations i mean. it's not like this that's the clerics a lot was a distinct classification of people one party in iran. many clerics.

who are trolls my governments there are supporters of my government. would you say you were able to do everything you wanted in this year in this year's theme you pushed your policy and you didn't have any obstacles from the clergy. and you cannot find anybody who can't do whatever he wishes to because we have to act within a framework in russia can mr putin do anything he likes a mentor is this constitution or is this parliament or difference of political groups is this public culture a social system in place yes maybe somebody has some wishes and he cannot fulfill them in eight years. yes we have great expectations that everybody has a good great wishes but can we hope that they can all be fulfilled and they can all

come true of course not. because some material word or some obstacles you the conditions should be provided yes i do believe that. i have achieved greatness great success and it's in achieving my wishes and my dream yes has been some opposition because this is a free society people express their views and their mind. yes the way i do things has been different from others yes naturally i have been a post mr president why do you think iran never had direct dialogue with the united states in eight years because there were attempts from the from the u.s. side. you know the principle of dialogue it's good in principle to be talking having dialogue is the best way to resolve differences. and

nobody can be opposed to dialogue yes we said from the get go that we are supposed to but under what circumstances. if somebody. comes to you and holds a hammer over your head and tells you forces you to have a daughter a large then that that is not right we have dialogue is to have to gain understanding is to resolve differences and it is not should not be used as a method to impose on others it should be it should happen under fair and just circumstances yes there are times are ready to have a dialogue with the u.s. . but other side was not ready only there are times when there were claiming that they were going to have a child with us because but to contend this is very not. right for us it was

unilateral so we didn't accept it but all in all i think dialogue is a good thing and ultimately we have not a choice but to have a dialogue you know the latest and assailing edward snowden reveal actually that iran was under the heaviest of the electronic controls by the united states did you know about that. last night show this is the world of communications when you get connected to internet adventure is the sad to lie. to communication networks yes there are going to be. problems like that but i don't think it is it was as heavy as they claim it was. here and i was speaking to each other right from him i do think that we are being blocked this place is being barked maybe it is. so you maybe. it is not difficult to do to take any contra measures defensive measures. yes naturally. there is this i would call it soft war going on into virtual work

yes. these are doing this if it is necessary we have we have been attacked our electronic income occasions networks have been attacked no clear and that's why it was attacked but they defused it they could counterattack to our banking system has been under attack. we defended ourselves. vital networks electricity water networks have been attacked yes it has become second nature to us which is something for us is that yes. the disadvantages of technology coming cations sometimes cyber attacks we're going to take a short break coming up next serious thinking it's around.

welcome back to sophie and co the revolutions that swept the arab world seemed so implausible but the fact that those leaders like well barack ben ali qaddafi where were thrown how safe do the ruling elite in iran feel we'll talk to the outgoing president obiang mahmoud ahmadinejad from the beginning of this movie leave that to the people of those countries egypt with our life just. like the rest of the people in the work they want to have a better lives they want to have a better. life conditions they're after freedom justice they want to well for you happiness they want they were looking for an opportunity to change their situation it would be sort of atmosphere do we know but it was like it i mean it happens so fast and our country should i think. yeah i think that this was

not really that natural i think there was a kind it was. there was a kind of manage with it these are illusions or managed to just that is something i don't want to get into this issue with you just because neither of these countries have achieved yet achieved a stability in peace we hope that they were ultimately but you said that what about in iraq says no ruler should feel safe nor nover in the world not just in illinois but she has shifted. the human society and this community special are moving forward they want to achieve perfection when you share it with their issue with the mass have not been fulfilled as it were can you show me a city any wish to keep all our average one hundred satisfied us or is it that they say something like we are just the life that we are living is ideal we don't want

this we just think you know i think he has humanity as it has a long way to go through the can't can you can't give an example of a place where justice is that esther fully know couldn't do it when the left will call that character governments say that it has with. their plan of justice in this society can go can any government say that it has to stay true to all the rights of the people in this so no ruler should feel safe i get it. on less it will not go on the. he chairs about this really respects the rights of the people i'm not saying that mistakes are not. yes made there might be some rebellions on just want to serve everybody should be careful it. should try to listen to the people to to stay true to justice on the hood this is something that this is something universal which guess is this that nobody is an example for

this. i want to ask you about syria i know you don't like the word isolated geopolitically but many believe that one of the main reasons why the west is so off to assad is because the ultimate target is you and iran to isolate you because he is your ally in the region. this. issue of syria is very complicated. and you see it in the facilities you see i mean when we say syria and israel comes to our mind immediately dispatched to are so into related. i mean you have to look into syria in a historical context of course you have said it before that it is a right of every nation to enjoy freedom to see justice. limited to advocate for everybody should have the right to free choice they should be able to share. in lex's routers themselves this is that you look at the most basic

principle and that's the real him in syria the same thing should happen. to are two things the two methods which are now change or soon one is militarism or the method of war for. someone to come to power militarily i think that is wrong we have reached i think that is wrong but jang the good anybody who comes to power should be militarily jangle good enough that he approves of. of the world of armed conflicts especially in. countries english there are different ethnic groups or different clans. there is another method that is national. reconciliation and everybody should all there should be free election people who choose their destiny and everybody who say that

it was started by everyone i think it is a second method works and it's the right one for every especially for syria. even for yes i do agree we just said somehow the west is don't want the syrian issue to come to an end. of the food there are developed person to object to first the continuation of this crisis is in their favor it is in the favor of the zionist regime has provided the zionist with the historical opportunity. yes if it continues for twenty years that they are. going to have peace for twenty years but before that they felt that they are under pressure so they see that in egypt and libya in syria there are conflicts in all the region centuries so nobody is paying attention to them so they can rest in

peace which is the second thing is that under the pretext of the syrian question they want the crisis to spread out to the neighboring countries to iraq to lebannon to turkey will do because they want to affect the whole region after a new middle east they want to do this through. this crisis so i don't think that they want the syrian problem to come to an end swiftly they want it to continue to questions in a while because we're running out of time. do you believe the israeli rhetoric is just rhetoric or they're going to actually hit the iranian nuclear facilities and also do you believe they have a proof that israel has nuclear weapons because netanyahu is certainly things that iran will have two hundred soon. lagers iran is going to have two hundred warheads that's what he says yes. this is something that i've said

many times before it's not of any use to us to have nukes to how can we use it i mean nuclear weapons they're useless to anybody can you do you think anybody can use it to us has most of the nukes in the word can if used this really can use its. job it was a man has to go in each a human society. at large well over at this one that doesn't have to look so twentieth century even the people of the us are going to allow the government to make use of that it is the most inhuman weapon that can be used against others. iran throughout history has always been a defender. and has always used conventional. it has never used chemicals watch this iran is still defending itself if it is

mostly a political cultural defense we don't need any nuclear weapons. iran is not a country that has. fabricated or has created a system which on the map no it was not like this and there were some people who had rulers and there has they went to the map and they put some lines on it as i said this is iran. it cannot be said about design it's regime you know nobody wants russia. it was on russia thousands of years for we are rooted in these territories we don't need such recognition there are some others that fabricates. favor to occupy some other territories and they just change the names. and the people there. feel secure because they don't belong here they have come from other places yes to me. nuclear weapons not i remember that i was

having this conversation with him mr putin in china in order to dismantle all the nuclear weapons in the world to eliminate russia does not want to have such weapons i know that. it's national why should it. but because others have some might want to have yes defense in defending ourselves against the zionist we don't need such weapons which we're going to. i think. are enough that the wise rational people in the us who would not allow the zionist regime to do such a stupid think. she really has nuclear facilities are not going to go away with bombardments that is if they are in the heads of our scientists we have to. have

a localized that. iran is the one million two hundred thirty three thousand that there is a square kilometer states the vastness so are they going to bomb every variant yes . this is psychological work of course we are ready to defend ourselves. if. this was the wrong mahmoud ahmadinejad who is presidential term ends on august fifth thank you for being with us and i will see you in the next edition of sophia . real damage and complexity of this oil spill was not something you can grasp just

by looking at dirty birds we have between four to five million people in this directly affected area of the coast and it's pretty clear why it's not being reported because b.p. can't afford to have a reported all along the gulf coast are clean they are safe and they're open for business if b.p. is the single largest oil contributor to the pentagon the us war machine is heavily reliant upon b.p. and their oil this is a huge step backwards for the marker c. it's a step forward. carex it is toxic is a look a lot like spraying and. it was it was not a picture that either the government or b.p. really wanted to have out there i don't want dispersants to be the agent on. this.

one the great spade blind to what is happening in their country. the american dream is disappearing. the houses with gardens are laid out the poor are left hopeless the streets are full of angry crowns that are fighting against. heis who stole the american dream. this is not a surprise to me that we've got problems in guantanamo during a time of budget cuts we spend on. hundred and fifty million dollars each year. around the world for an america that the rule of law.

in american nations. refuse the. president and. edward snowden. the situation has united america. as the. president. is still.
