the video game company of heroes two is facing a lot of heat from gamers inside the former soviet union in fact fourteen thousand people thus far have taken the time to sign a changed org petition to get the game removed from former communist shelves across the land why are people so mad this looks like some sort of world war two game i mean in this type of game there's going to be a murdering of virtual rampaging through cities with rocket launchers so why did they start a petition for you to blogger called the bad comedian made a detailed twenty five minute video depicting all the gross historical inaccuracies and exaggerations throughout the game but he prefers the soviet army as a pack of slave driving before with every soviet officer wanting nothing more than to shoot his old soldiers in the back or send them to the gulag forthwith according to polygon dot com the game exploits rare moments in the wars history like some very limited battles or soviet soldiers went in unarmed and made it look as if sitting rifle is infantry directly into machine gun fire was part of the soviet

army manual maybe it's a bit oversensitive to flip out over a dumb video game but lies repeated often enough will become true in the minds of millions of people who play the game and that's why you can't back down when it comes to historical falsification but that's just my opinion. hello welcome to sophie and co i'm selfish ever not saying you know it's controversial nuclear ambition has cast a cloud over the middle east no one's backing down in terre haute a new president may create a window of opportunity for the long stalls nuclear talks the only agency that can shed light on what is happening inside. iran is the international atomic energy
10:31 am
agency says they can actually step into that country's nuclear facility as well at least into some of them. with more oil that is can sell or consume points 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 cut off 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 yukiya amano head of the. he's here am i know they had of the international atomic energy agency it's really great to have you on our show today thank you very much for you breaking me so you know that nearly elected to iranian president hassan rouhani
10:32 am
personally because he used to be a nuclear negotiator what do you think of him what kind of person is he he is that person with. a very good knowledge of nuclear issues and. looking forward to working with the new government of iran the i need is committed to resolve for the iran nuclear issues through. diplomatic means who will continue. would you say he's easy to talk to we don't know yet and the role of the agency. is not to speculate but we will continue on the. course for the without a with a to find to other concrete solution just because above 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 over in
10:33 am
a month 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 get korea iraq for now i don't have. but by having contact with the new government i think we will 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 are differences. to reach agreement. on discussing with iran with. how do you that in mind we have the differences but
10:34 am
it is not impossible. that gap will continue that under discussion. we are not yet. into discussion with the wrong on specific moments and i went to meet a way to meet them by the differently we'll have. discussions with them could you telling us what the main difference is i must because we hear a lot of the press. talks are going in circles we have differences as no one really understands what exactly is the difference you mind telling us. the truth i cannot tell the details and the reason is that i'm illustrating with the wrong. practice of diplomacy we do not disclose on the details of going. if i do that i lose confidence and no one most of them was shared with me or with the i.a.e.a. never the. i mean saying that. he needs to be
10:35 am
a should be able to take if very 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 so how to organize. 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 you surely have your own thoughts we are not making the know this is. what the making of the international on the addition to verify the peaceful nature of octave these from the other we have been trying.
10:36 am
to use. under the safeguards of these. safeguards. peaceful us what is that iran's capacity to produce. is increasing the amount of fuel produced. is also increasing on the other hand we do not. understand perfectly. this and this is the problem you know why am i 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 is very close and will reach the critical cap ability very soon it will have at least one bomb before any.
10:37 am
western intelligence agency or i. well know that what if what if you missed the bomb. obvious elements but we think. we can detect it. in a reasonable amount of time. regarding the amount of. rain of development it depends on various ailments how many centrifuges they use with iran. the conversion from. to another form so there are various elements or estimate what will be the moment of radium in storage so that he said the reason why i say we cannot speak. out of all the nuclear facilities in iran which one raises your concern most of all. i will not say. but again i would like to say that.
10:38 am
a certain number of these under safeguards i do not feel good no they should of all of. this. or this is. a first point second all regarding. this we continue to verify that they. 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 grab it plans to develop nuclear weapons or but what
10:39 am
we say that is that iran has the questions to which they have to. and without clarifying these questions we cannot give the 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 in negotiations with the west would you say that secretary it is more of a help of a hit or a hindrance. first of all regarding their wishes. the p five plus one. countries going to members of the united nations security
10:40 am
council and germany. having discussion away from all in rome rochelle is of course. a member of this p five plus one discussion with rome russia has an important role from all. i hope. will make it grow. so it's ok with you that russia is helping iran to fulfill its nuclear ambitions. for the. russians are very bold a member of the i.a.e.a. russia. all of the member of the p five plus one. and p. five plus one devil music here we put them on someone to 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 he is surrounded by
10:41 am
a country that 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 they're going to leak. i'm going to this is. i deeply respect him myself i am focusing on the basic objectives of the i.a.e.a. and with regard to the nonproliferation it was possibly the use of belief or the material. of course we how important the objectives i like good. can go corp. but with respect to iran you gratian was providing information. information to member states to foresee the date there just isn't the most important thing for me it can monitor what the director general of. our guests
10:42 am
today coming up next. how real is it and what good are sections so that it's to people who are hurt the most states. most of these boys has been couples a lot for violence or theft. but we drove the window climbed in and tried started the dump we pushed it a little way and here we were drunk. and soon who you're an alcoholic nearly all of them are homeless orphans with no money or relatives. why are you afraid to live
10:43 am
without me. for a moment but there it felt like i was back in those streets who it is you're going to beat me up at any moment. you know that i turned my back i couldn't help wondering about my safety. isn't a warden he's there the father you could say that slava raises us he makes normal people out of ugly duckling. well the british. market. find out what's really happening to the global economy with much stronger no holds barred look at the global financial headlines comes
10:44 am
10:45 am
welcome back to sophie and co now what's been looking at iran's nuclear ambition with so if you can model the director general of the international atomic energy agency israel is the one state most intensively concerned was see it on its nuclear were shipments saying the bomb weighs already what they need on its reach but in reality does iran want to bomb and how close to a bomb does it stand let's gauge how concerned it's to international community. right now. nuclear iran stands behind it a dozen nuclear research and development facilities some 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 known plants are presented as peaceful but without access to iran's nuclear backyard how can the world be sure global
10:46 am
nuclear suspicion is further fueled by missile tests putting delivery power into rounds hands bush last does to round out how close is it to the bomb in two thousand and ten the new 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. seat eighty percent great without the world knowing the problem is the gap between watch iran says and iran does human society over nuclear weapons so twentieth century it is the most brutal one that can be used against others. severe international sanctions have sensed the iranian economy down leading to double digit inflation and unemployment western companies shunned iran leaving its key industries to crumble without much needed investment. but despite
10:47 am
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 your state's l a times that you know you're only one of focus on the technical part but the fortunate like you are on the limelight because whatever you say sort of. in political dissent discussions or decisions for example there are some like israel who are out there have direct confrontation with iran how do you protect your agency from bomb iran will be. important thing for me. to stay impartial and factual in order to stay in boston and from a show i have to stick around to the police will then what the principle of lation that is to respect the rule and number inflation comprehensive safeguard agreement
10:48 am
. stunned and. if there is any u.n. security council resolutions in this regard that is also rule of what i'm asking to all the countries not only your own but to all countries east to implement that really want rules by sticking to this. neutral felt stunned i can state. neutral of course. i believe that the. picnic alone and ideation but 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. is a organization that is working in a very political environment so let's say if it is route or when it is route will
10:49 am
strike iran will i anyway feel responsible not responsible and guilty because they know this is a big possibility i do not speak late for now what i am doing is to the issue by diplomatic means. it's not good for me to make comments on the hypothetical question. which is stockholm international peace research institute estimates that israel now maybe have or. 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 or the. other countries from which other members of the are you gay out of state to implement under
10:50 am
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 mission 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 secure as well the idea. and myself has been supporting the nuclear weapon free zone in east. we all ready to help them. then. general conference the. decision
10:51 am
to ask the director general to host a forum. on nuclear weapon free zone in middle east in the objective is to learn from experience from a nuclear weapon presumes in two thousand or eleven. i found then i hosted. all. states as well as. participated this is a very difficult issue and the position of countries are different still or we could have a very constructive for all discussions of these shows the despite their differences because despite. where you can see it discuss this issue in that constructive way still it was more d.c. it took us to simply organized this forum but i just would like to tell you
10:52 am
that the making a contribution. to the establishment of on the nuclear weapon freeze on middle east. you know israel and united states list iran 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 all. build on the confidence restore the international confidence is very important and because of the luck of confidence it is very difficult to make on the steps forward in order to or. confidence transparency is most needed so it's really up
10:53 am
to give more transparency not obama's job but you would tell him to what wait don't rush to things and maybe everything could be dealt with diplomacy. diplomacy. is some. way out of my own. addressing and other countries including the united states is the solution for. a diplomatic means so. for now is to encourage. that also between p. five plus one. and iran 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 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 own no basis
10:54 am
at all. are you optimistic about where it's going with iraq from now on. we again do not speak with a. gun and the strength of the on the east to stay. we are not. the only made well known for them. future prospects. 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 temporary time for the. very time the man up to over two years have passed on since. accident russia is some one of the lead us of
10:55 am
nuclear technology some of. the also from the minister. ending this meeting so this is a very good opportunity to the future of nuclear power and i think very good results will be achieved i mean good standing by member states will be. through this conference. our guess was you can manage the director general of i ate a year with sophie and co i will see you next time thanks for watching.
10:56 am
exactly what happened that day i don't know but a woman killed. piers later is when i got arrested for. for a crime i did not do. we have numerous cases where police officers lie about polygraph results. and people to consider the police officers don't beat people anymore i mean it just doesn't happen really. in the course of interrogation why because there's been this is like meant no because the psychological techniques are more effective in obtaining confessions than physical abuse and they were they could do what they wanted they can say what they wanted and there was no evidence of what they did or what they said. do we speak your language or not advanced. news programs and documentaries and
10:57 am
