hello welcome to sophie and co i'm sophie shevardnadze if you don't controversial nuclear ambition has cast a cloud over the middle east no one's backing down into ron but a new president made create a window of opportunity for the long stalled nuclear talks the only agency that can shed light on what is happening inside iran is the international atomic energy agency says they can actually step into that country's nuclear facilities well at least into some of them. with more world is concerned consume once

with a nuclear iran fuel peace and prosperity for a nation or enmity with its neighbors iranian nuclear facilities multiply and capabilities grow while sanctions economic lifelines after changing its president will be more open to allowing inspection of its nuclear backyard to prove its plans are pure and sensible and that's while fighting for the right for the peaceful outcome iran doesn't get. we gauge the reaction of. he's here man of the head of the international atomic energy agency it's really great to have your show today thank you very much for you writing me so you know the nearly elected to iranian president hassan rouhani personally because he used to be a nuclear negotiator what do you think of him what kind of person. he. he is that

with a very good knowledge of nuclear issues and. looking forward to working with the new government of iran the ninety eight is committed to resolve for the iran nuclear issues through. diplomatic means who will continue dialogue would you say he's easy to talk to we don't know yet and the role of the agency. is not to speak great but we will continue on that. course for the without a with to find the concrete solution just because of all you're a very experienced diplomat and now you've become the new had of the i.a.e.a. what is your instincts tell you is this someone president rouhani that could move the iranian nuclear negotiations from a debt point they're all been a mentor on this issue we have a long history and this is some very complicated issue. and the best thing for now

not to speculate but. then with them and then things get clear out of one now i don't help. but by having contact with the new government i think we'll have prospect for the future. what about for right now can you clarify for us where you at iran and the agency what is your main stumbling point there on a couple of issues and. said in the past that yes we have differences but these differences on the obstacle to reach agreement. on discussing with iran with. how do you that in mind we have the differences but it is not impossible. that gap will continue that under discussion.

we are not yet. into discussion with you on on specific moments like when to meet a where to meet but differently we'll how. discussions with them could you find telling us what the main difference is i must like because we hear a lot of the press. talks aren't going in circles we have differences as someone who really understands what exactly is the difference you mind telling us. the details the reason is that. with the wrong. practice of phone diplomacy we do not disclose on the details of. if i do that i lose confidence and no one most of them were shared with me or with the idea of this i have been saying that. they need to be. should be able to take if if belief creation we need to do

a job and if. too much then we kind of hope and if we cannot do the job it is not the benefit of the wrong nor the agency nor the international community. how to organize effective is the crucial point. you know benjamin netanyahu says that iran is very close to getting a bomb the red line is almost there obama has somewhat a different assessment of this issue what is your assessment i mean i know you cannot speculate but surely have your own thoughts we are not making the know this is. what the making of the international when they dish and verify the peaceful nature of these from the. we have been trying. to use. the safeguards of these.

safeguards. what is that iran's capacity to produce. the radium is increasing the amount of fuel produced radium is also increasing on the other hand we do not. understand perfectly. this and this is the problem you know what i'm asking about assessment and speculations because i was reading a lot of articles beforehand and two of the very well respected independent analysts they predict that most probably iran is and will is very close and will reach the critical cap ability very soon and will have at least one bomb before any western intelligence agency or i. will know that what if what if we missed a bomb there are obvious elements but we think if there is

a big change we can. in a reasonable amount of time. regarding the amount of food or enrich to range of future development it depends on various elements how many centrifuges they use with iran. the conversion from or to radium to another form so there are various elements or estimate what will be the amount of radium in storage so that is of the reason why i say we cannot speak of a term out of all the nuclear facilities in iran which one raises your concern most of all. i will not say. again i would like to say that. a certain number of these under safeguards i do not feel good no they should of all of whom at this.

point second all on regarding. activities we continue to. staying in. but the capacity is increasing for the enrichment of uranium in addition the construction of a heavy water reactor is making progress these are the facts. is it fair to say that at this particular point your agency doesn't have a proof that iran wants to make a bomb right we have never said that iran has nuclear weapons we have never said that. has decided to nuclear weapons to develop nuclear weapons or but what we say that. iran has the questions to which they have to. and without

these questions we cannot give them clean bill of health this is where we stand now have you personally been to iran have you. yes i visited the wrong before i became. i went to. i became the director general and i had this question with mr jelly. you know russia is helping iran fulfill its nuclear ambitions but at the same time it is the main facilitator in talks and negotiations with the west would you say it's effective it is more of a help of a hit or a hindrance. oh first of all regarding their wishes. the p five plus one five countries going to members of the united nations security council and germany. having discussion away from all

iran russia is of course. a member of this p five plus one on this question with rome russia has an important role of. i hope. p. five plus one. will make the. so it's ok with you that russia is helping iran to fulfill its nuclear ambitions. for the i.a.e.a. russia is a very for the member of the i.a.e.a. russia. and a member of the p five plus one. and p five plus one that will be separate we put them on some one of your predecessor mohamed el baradei actually said that notwithstanding what you think of iran's position you need to address their sense of insecurity which means that it is surrounded by country it was nuclear capacity is capabilities and they have a presence of american troops in their region so they feel like they need to

somehow answer to that what do you say to that to that. this is. a. i deeply respect him myself i am caucusing on the basic. and with regard to the nonproliferation it was possibly the use of belief that all the material. was of course we import them the objectives are likely to. go corp. but with respect to iran you gracious providing information impartial information to member states to foresee the date there just isn't the most important thing for me. the director general of. the day coming up next. how real is it and what good are sanctions to what it's to

people who are hurt the most states. this journey is not about seeing the world. it's a mission that i could to myself the project will succeed if i stay in the same place all the time. i've been travelling around the world for twenty days so far in all the time i haven't spent any money at all the main idea of the project because of the artist paints people's portraits and the time for some kids. we have to get used to each other i think he is

a little disappointed about the boss because we're still spending a lot of money i mean if i spend it he shouldn't worry about that right now i don't think so goes a great artist but i don't think it's a coma if you don't like the painting you just don't give anything. what is the future of democracy in the arab middle east in the wake of the coup d'etat in egypt because this region condemned to a vicious cycle uprisings and brutal suppression what about the claim islam and democracy are incompatible and does the west really have an interest in seeing the people of the middle east free to decide their own destinies. i'm not used to the tundra to freedom i am my dear.

in second grade i ran away from the boarding school with to my friends will be around to the tundra. the tundra is just a nifty doze i don't know how people can live there there are no t.v.'s in the tenth how could i send my child to boarding school. i won't be able to sleep at night after that. they enter life without knowledge of how to do basic thing though they don't get that in school. i would rather i asked questions for people in positions of power instead of speak on their behalf and that's why you can find my show larry king now right here on r.g.p.

question more. some of these traditional chili lines they've been bred and developed and passed down from generation to. this is a total struction of the culture of new mexico by telling them i mean this this is not going to impact a swelling in mexico whatever happens here it's about the overall now we're eating out about school in the in the know in the case in all the awarding of snow or spread genetically engineered crops why do you think this country is full of obese and sick people because we have a crappy food system. emissions free accreditation free in-store charges free. range month free

right now. nuclear iran what stands behind it a dozen nuclear research and development facilities silma open to inspections but crucially not all doesn't run harbor secret time fissions facilities the world has yet to see some claim iran does. the implants are presented as peaceful but without access to iran's nuclear backyard how can the world be sure global nuclear suspicion is further fueled by missile tests putting delivery power into round's hands bush last does to. how close is it to the bomb in two thousand and ten the u.n. nuclear watchdog declared for the first time there was evidence of iran's drive towards nuclear weapons iran's enrichment is already up to twenty percent enough for a peaceful journey to seek eighty percent great without the world knowing the problem

is the gap between want to run says and what iran does human society is a will over nuclear weapons they are so twentieth century it is the most brutal weapon that can be used against others. severe international sanctions have since the. radiate economy down leading to double digit inflation and unemployment western companies showed iran leaving its key industries to crumble without much needed investment. but despite this iran's government seems determined to follow the atomic power regardless of the price people are paying the hardships they suffer what can the global nuclear watchdog do to dispel the rumors and clear the air. you know you've stated so many times that you know you only want to focus on the technical part but they are fortunate like you are under the limelight because whatever you say sort of the result in political discussions or decisions for

example there are some like israel who would rather have direct confrontation with iran how do you protect your agency from bomb iran lobby. the important thing for me. to stay impartial and factual in order to stay in show i have to stick to the principle that what the principle of lation that is to respect the rule and number inflation comprehensive safeguard agreement. stunned and also if there is any un security council resolutions in this regard that is also. what i am asking to all the countries not only won but to all countries east to fully implement that relevant rules by sticking to this. neutral fell stunned i can stay. neutral of course

i believe that the. technical and ideation but you mentioned the environment in which we are working is very political. and therefore it's important to respect that principle i will say i.a.e.a. . organization that is working in a very political environment so let's say if it is route or when israel will strike iran will i anyway feel responsible not responsible and guilty because they know this is a big possibility i do not own speak late for now what i am doing. to the issue by diplomatic means. it's not good for me to make comments on. that they go there's a separate which is stockholm international peace research institute estimates that israel now maybe have around eighty nuclear bombs which is pretty intimidating. i

know you don't speculate but you know this hinders your negotiation process with with iran maybe that's why they're still reluctant you know to talk and to negotiate and to make progress because they're thinking israel has a nuclear bombs for them. to do. other countries from which other members of the are you gay. they used to implement the comprehensive safeguard that is the only thing. relevant obligations if there is any that is the only thing. you won't do you think israel should sign up for n.p.t. . that is some of the question you need to ask. but. it is clear they don't have the ability to assign and beat people now but is the agency making any effort right now in that direction do you think do you see do you

think we can ever see nuclear transparent israel because they're also very intimidated considering the countries that they are surrounded with they feel isolated and insecure as well the idea he and myself has been supporting the nuclear weapon free zone in east. we are ready to help them in. then. general conference the. decision to ask the director general to host a forum. on nuclear weapon free zone in middle east and the objective is to learn from experience from other nuclear weapon priests omes in two thousand of eleven. i then i hosted. some of. our other states as well as. participated

this is a very difficult issue and the position of countries are different still we could have a very constructive for all discussions. despite their differences because the despite the. background where you can see it discuss this issue in that constructive way still it was more d.c. it took us to a simply more than this forum but i just would like to tell you that. is making a contribution. to the establishment of on the nuclear weapon freeze on middle east. you know israel and united states alister on is one of the main threats and israel is going over concerns because you know so much more than anyone else about what's going on inside iran what would you advise president obama what your advice to president obama would be how should he proceed. i think the most important thing

for now is to all. build on the computer. restore the international confidence is very important and because of the luck of. it is very difficult. to make on the steps forward in order to. confidence transparency is most needed so it's really up to give more transparency not obama's job but you would tell him to what weight gone to rush to things and maybe everything could be dealt with diplomacy. and diplomacy. is some. way out of my own way to. addressing and. countries including the united states is seeking the solution through diplomatic means so. for now is to

encourage. that also between p. five plus one. and the wrong what you know you saying iran should be more transparent but i read in the press that iran is that kissing your agency to actually actually siding with the americans or israel and giving them some information that only your agency would have access to what do you say to that accusation no bull no or no basis at all. are you optimistic about where it's going with iran from now on. again speak with a. gun and the strength of the on the these two state. we are not. the only made the well known for them. is to go to the grown does on the ground collect the information share the precise

show the information with member states to facilitate their decision making and finally you're here in russia for a conference what do you expect from this conference what you think could there be any tangible results. this conference is today can place a very timely. you know very time. over two years have seen. russia. one of the leaders of nuclear technology. minister. ending this meeting so. very good opportunity to. nuclear and i think. good results would be achieved i mean. by member states will be.

our guest was the director general i. will see you next time thanks for watching.
