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 hawkers or virtual rampaging through cities with rocket launchers so why did they start a petition for you to blogger called the bad comedian made a detail twenty five minute video depicting all the gross historical inaccuracies and exaggerations throughout the game but he portrays the soviet army as a pack of slave driving before with every soviet officer wanting nothing more than to shoot his own soldiers in the back or send them to the gulag forthwith according to polygon dot com the game exploits rare moments in the words history like some very limited battles are 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 is 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 it on controversial nuclear ambition has cast a cloud over the middle east no one's backing down in terror and but any president who made create a window of opportunity for the long stall is not. the only agency that can shed
2:31 pm
light on what is happening inside iran is the international atomic energy 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 the course with a nuclear iran fuel peace and prosperity for a nation or enmity with its neighbors really a nuclear facilities multiply its 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 though. 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 your baiting me so you
2:32 pm
know that 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 is that with . a very good knowledge of nuclear issues and. looking forward to working with the new government of iran the i need he 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 the low cost structure with that up with the 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. our instincts tell you is this someone president rouhani that could
2:33 pm
move the iranian nuclear negotiations from a debt point they're all over the 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 have. but by having contact with the new government i think. 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 on the obstacle to reach agreement.
2:34 pm
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 the wrong on specific moments and i went to meet a way to meet about them 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 someone who really understands what exactly is the difference because you mind telling us the. truth i cannot tell the details and 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 in. no one most of them were shared with me or with
2:35 pm
the idea yet never this i have been saying that. he needs to be a should be able to take if verification we need to do a job and if. too much then we kind of the job 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 the fictive of creation 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 a now this is. what the making of the international on ideation to verify the
2:36 pm
peaceful nature of these from the. we have been trying. to use. under the safeguards of these activities under the guise of. peaceful us what is that. to produce. is increasing the amount of produced. 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 crap. ability very soon it will have at least one bomb before
2:37 pm
any western intelligence agency or i. will know what that what if what if you missed the. obvious elements but we think that if. we can detect it. in a reasonable amount of time. regarding the amount of. range 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 to or estimate what will be the moment of radium in storage so that he said the reason why i say we cannot speculate out of all the nuclear facilities in iran which one raises your concern most of all. i
2:38 pm
will not say. but 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. these. or this is. the first point second all regarding. this recounting need 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
2:39 pm
that iran has decided to nuclear weapons to develop nuclear weapons or but what we said that iran has the questions to which they have to. and without clarifying 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 up i became the director general and i had this question with mr jellyby you know russia is helping iran fulfill its nuclear ambitions but at the same time it is their main facilitate here in talks and negotiations with the west would you say it's effective it is more of a help of a hill or a hindrance. first of all regarding. the
2:40 pm
p five plus one. countries some members of the united nations security council and germany. having discussion away from all iran and russia is of course. a member of this p five plus one discussion with rome russia has an important role some of. i hope. p. five plus one. will make good progress. 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. of all member of the p five plus one. and p five plus one there will be several we put them on some one to your predecessor mohamed el baradei actually said that notwithstanding what you think of iran's
2:41 pm
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. i deeply respect him most of all. the basic objectives of the i.a.e.a. and with regard to the nonproliferation it was supposed to believe the is the belief that all the material is the us 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

back to sophie and co now what's been looking at it on its nuclear ambition with mando the director general of international atomic energy agency israel is the one state most intensively concerned was see it on its nuclear 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 what stands behind it a dozen nuclear research and development facilities so most into inspections but crucially not all doesn't run harbor secret ambitions 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
2:46 pm
suspicion is. further fueled by missile tests putting delivery power into rand's hands bush last does to round out 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. eighty percent great without the world knowing the problem is the gaps between water rudd says and what iran does human society is. a weapons so twentieth century it is the most brutal weapon that can be used against others. severe international sanctions have sensed the iranian economy down leading to double digit inflation and unemployment western companies show iran leaving its key industries to crumble without much needed investment. but despite
2:47 pm
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 there's a lot 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 the. thing for me. to stay impartial and functional in order to stay in show i have to stick. to respect the rule and. comprehensive safeguard agreement.
2:48 pm
stunned and. if there is any u.n. security council resolutions in this regard that is also rule a what i'm asking to all the countries not only your own but to all countries east to improvement that really want rules by sticking to this. neutral. stunned i can state. neutral of course i believe the. pinnacle of ideation but you mentioned the environment in which we are working is very political and therefore it's important to respect the principle i will say. the organization that is working in the political environment so let's say if it is route or whether israel will strike iran will i in any way feel responsible not
2:49 pm
responsible guilty because they know this is a big possibility i do not 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 at 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 of their own want to do. israel as other countries from which other members of the are you gay of the state to implement under
2:50 pm
comprehensive safeguard that is their own. another relevant obligations if there is any that is the only thing. wrong 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 to assign and beat people now but is the agency making any effort right now in that direction do you think 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 their nuclear weapons free zone east. ready to help them in two thousand and one general conference
2:51 pm
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 a nuclear weapon presumes in two thousand. and eleven. i found then i hosted. some of. our own 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. despite the difference between despite. where you can see it discuss this issue in that constructive way still it was more d.c. it took some yes to simply organized this forum but i just would like to. out there
2:52 pm
you. are making a contribution. to the establishment of the nuclear weapon freeze on middle east. you know israel united states list iran is one of the main threats and israel is going over concerned 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 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
2:53 pm
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. diplomacy. on the way my own limitation he's addressing other countries including the united states is the solution through diplomatic means so. is to encourage. that also between b five plus one. and the wrong you know you saying iran should be more transparent but i read in the press that iran is that during 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 no basis of all. are you
2:54 pm
optimistic about where it's going would. iran from now on. we again speak with eight. of the on the east two state. well known for them. is to go to the grown send these because on the ground collecting the information the precise. information with members face to forcing the 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. is to they can place a temporary time for the. very time he might not to over two years have seen. just sit and rush is some one of the leaders of the nuclear technology
