or the p5 +1 and iran. at the same time the u.s. is updating this offer, i think it would be wise to update a very comprehensive offer that was made in 2008. this was presented to the iranians in geneva in the summer of 2008, and it looked at possible areas of economic cooperation, easing of sanctions and so on. this offer needs to be looked at again, i think it needs to be refreshed particularly in light of what's happened o -- to iran's oil sector over the last couple of years. the u.s. shouldn't publicize it or present it, but if iranians do show up and look serious, this is something the u.s. and its allies should have ready. at the same time, the u.s. needs to intensify its outreach to the iranian people, senator hagel mentioned this. this is very important. just because we have a fight with the iranian government doesn't mean we should not be promoting educational exchanges, trying to get as many iranian students as possible to study in the united states and offering help to iran in be areas such as ea

declaration which as you recall the brazilian and turkish president came to iran the brazilian president had a letter from obama saying that if you come to an agreement with iran we will support it and as soon as the brazilians and the turks came to that agreement with iran obama. went for further sanctions and effectively slapped the turks and the brazilians in the face and spit on the master word so for the iranians obama has you know he doesn't he's not trusted now and i think that the iranians while they're willing to talk they need to feel that the other side is this. you talked about slapping on those sanctions those further sanctions clearly work then haven't they because iran is now talking about going back to the negotiating table and that is because of the sanctions and. no the iranians bay said that they are willing to go to the to speak and talk that's that's been true in the past as well the sanctions really have no effect in fact they have an adverse effect because they're putting iran in a position where they feel that they have to dig in they can't give up their

the u.s. is looking at iran, but also how iran is looking at the u.s. and how iran is looking at itself and looking at its role in the region. very often we get caught up in our own conversation here we are not putting ourselves enough in the shoes of others. as we've been asking through the task force are the u.s. sanctions against iran working, are there any other negotiating options left for the united states? if a reform regime were in power in iran would actually make any difference to the u.s.-iran relationship, and more importantly i suppose is how does iran foresee itself in the world and who is iran? is it ahmadinejad, khomeini, the revolutionary guards, so marked and susan have done a good job pulling together experts and bringing them together to have frank discussions in this room on the current situation and the way forward. and so the issue brief that's released today to you all and prepared by our friend, barbara slavin, one of the great experts on iran in this town is a culmination of all those meetings. i hope you'll think it is a good r

some have called you, your family the kennedies of iran. tell us about the family first, before we have this serious conversation about issues. >>> yes, i'm coming from-- i'm a member of a famous family i should say, this is the one thing, instance of the family members, family members are emerging as different political and social positions rather than to be put in that position from the orders from above. if stems from my father who was a famous islamic scholar. well-known in iran and even in iraq and other countries. >> rose: his name was. >> his name was ayatollah amoli. and perhaps while as the older son i was the first to step into political life after coming back to iran after revolution. so i started political life within the foreign ministry adjacent with cabinet life and then moved to the parliament,, to the national security council. well after that my brother followed suit. >> rose: which brother. >> ari which is right now the speaker of the parliament. and he was minister for some times. i was the chief negotiator on the resolut

iran. so for any common purpose that talks to the normalization of relation with iran, the basic question iswhat is the expectation of the united states? what they want? why they are so much hostile toward iran. i think it's up to them. iran is not going to be a country to be ordered, like some other countries, for the relation. >> the united states made an overture to have comprehensive negotiations on all issues with you, would iran accept? >> iran will very much welcome such a comprehensive discussion, which the reason for that is, we are interested to bring the tension down in the region. it is in our basic national interest as well. >> could you imagine normalization of relations with the u.s.? >> why not? why not? i mean, hatred and hostility is not authentic. we think we should have good relation with all countries in the world. so why not united states? there is nothing intrinsically bad in here. it is a policy. and the continued policy. and unfortunately, persistent policy of the united states in hostility toward iran. this is the main blockade. >> and you will get rid of the death

larigiani family have been called the kennedys of iran. mohammed came to the thun week to defend his nation's human rights record at the u.n. he'll talk to bus that and much more. is iran ready to come to the table with the u.s.? >>> then what in the world? a government plan that worked. part two. >>> next, the u.s. and nato say combat operations in afghanistan should end in 2014. should it happen? can it happen? we'll ask a terrific panel. let's get started. -- captions by vitac -- www.vitac.com >>> mohammed larijanis comes from one of the most powerful family in iran. they head two of the three branches of iran's government called by the larijanis. their father was a very influential grandayatollah. mohammad is a math ma trigs, former parliamentitarian, former foreign minister now among other things the head of the country's human rights commission. that brought him to new york thork to defend his country's human rights record at the u.n. larijani is a smart man from an influential family often at odds with president mahmoud ahmadinejad.

the u.s. is looking at around but also how iran is looking at the u.s. and how iran is looking at itself. and looking at its role in the region. we get caught up in our own conversation here that we are not putting ourselves enough in the shoes of others. we have been asking for this task force -- are the u.s. sanctions working? are there any other negotiating options left for the united states? if the reformist regime were in power in iran, would it make any difference to the u.s.-iran relationship? more importantly, how does iran see itself in this world? who is iran? is it, all -- is mahmoud ahmadinejad on? ? we want to bring people together to have frank discussions in this room to have on the current situations. the issue brief that is released today to you all and prepared by our friend barbara slavin, one of the great experts on iran is a combination of all those meetings. it will be the first of several briefs that we will ride on these subjects looking into this brief and more detail on other parts. we want to thank the plowshares fun for making this possible through their support

the wrong. ok we'll read. no that iran has just tested its own prototype of the s three hundred missile system it previously planned to buy from russia now does this mean that terror on is looking at alternatives to military help from moscow. well i think that actually. out russia only is a standstill for the situation well. iran could be in position to move for the remaining question which. the international community facing now with the iraq russian federation actually. once again great to write that it's a great desire to develop relations with the islamic republic of iran in the future in all fields ok president i'm a democrat said iran is ready to return to international talks of ricin nuclear program how do you think that's a result of international pressure. ah well our i think that of course we get on the. witness the international pressure which is actually it is being done on the rock but at the same time if you're a man by the statement by lady ashton the floor is a high commission of european union. with a mass

what do you think will happen in the next ten or twenty years?ira in iran? >> [speaking in native tongue] >> [speaking in native tongue] >> translator: i'm a journalist, not a prophet, but i am positive about the future of iran, and in view of the role taken by woment and the youth in the recent uprising, i feel very positives that good things will come out.e but to estimate a time scale would be veryma difficult. >> were there ever doctors orr medical personnel at your torture? this i mean, was this medicallyl assisted, or was it just done by soldiers or your prisoners? >> [speaking in native tongue] >> [speaking in native tongue] >> translator: there was one guard that he explains there wai one revolutionary guard who hadh received basic medical training s and when they were with --ison whipping the prisoners' feet, soles of their feet, after a while they would lose all sensation because they would bed so injured. so this guy would come and putc something to row store some -- restore feeling back to the feet so they could continuea theu beating, and i think

probably monitored we must remember that the us is involved the covert plan to destabilize iran as well. as called commentators have been predicting and it is amazing the bush era get off the ground despite the viral computer virus attacks as well so that's certainly not mandated by any u.n. security council resolution nevertheless you seem to say that iran is being rebuffed in all of this but surely what about the iranians themselves what about the international standing the international image of iran at the moment surely it's suffering as a result of all of this what's the next step how can that image be improved well again i mean i go back to the nonaligned movement conference members but around the world when you say international you mean latin america do you mean that venezuela a little bit here or chile or the pink tried across latin america is against iran do you think that many african countries are against iran do you think the global south you know i think a lot of people in the global south see iran as a leader against us in germany in its defiance of. washington's desire t

but i am positive about the future of iran. and in view of the role taken by woman and the youth in the recent uprising, i feel very positive that good things will come out. but to estimate a time scale would be very difficult. >> where there ever doctors or medical personnel at your torture? was this medically assisted? or was it just soldiers or prisoners? [translator speaking] [speaking native tongue] >> translator: there was one guard that he experienced, there was one revolutionary guard who had to sit basic medical training. and when they were with him, the prisoners feet, sole of their feet, after a while, they would lose all sensation because it would be so injured they couldn't feel anything. this guy would come and put something to restore some feeling back to the feet so that they would continue the beating. i think there were other examples in the book. >> two or three more questions. raise your hands. >> after everything that you've been through how do you find the strength to go on? >> how do you find the strength?

and the iranian president actually gave the answer that iran is ready to negotiate within the group of six so i think that probably in the future this international pressure if iran would sincerely continue the negotiations including the controversial united nuclear program. would be eased. president obama has addressed a bipartisan meeting at the white house where he's urged republicans to approve a key on three duction deal with moscow before the end of the year following gains in midterm elections republicans have so far been stalling the ratification of the new start treaty now the deal aims to cut the number of russian and u.s. nukes by a third well let's get more from our correspondent guy and it is in washington so good and what is the president obama saying to the senators. well it has as you said president obama sat down with senators both democrat and republican to once again explain why the twenty needs to be ratified and why it needs to be ratified now as this senate's time in office is running out start treaty tensions reached their peak ea

about russian assistance and dealings with the iran. more recently of course russia has been more supportive of the us position on iran but i think there are a number of people who hope that russia would do more than it's done these of iran and for many republicans i think you'll find that these two issues iran and the governance issues i guess if i can describe it that way our particular concerns another particular concern would be russia's conduct towards its neighbors and certainly the war in georgia obviously there are different perspectives inside russia about why that took place but i think you'd find that many people in washington including in the congress were quite concerned about that. russia's role in that conflict well you know you mentioned it well i mean you mentioned ileana mentioning yeah but i mean according to to a majority probably too should russia. russia has been giving up its positions can send you out to the states we've been as now you still washington as we could be all of the rainy days nuclear issues sanctions

to attack the iran nuclear facilities before it is quote too late. ahmadinejad dismissed the lead saying iran and regional states are friends. iran insists the nuclear programs are purely for energy production. the explosions are the latest in a string of targeted attacks. and five doctors and professors have been killed in tehran. an israeli government spokesman would not comment on monday's bombings. washington has strongly denied any link to the previous killing. iran's nuclear chief warned the west and the allies not to play with fire. saying it could not stop tehran from developing the atomic program. charlie d'agata, cbs news. >>> the oregon state student accused of plotting a terror attack in oregon will appear in federal court. 19-year-old mohamed osman mohamud allegedly planned to blow up a van full of explosives at a crowded christmas tree lighting ceremony friday. the fbi secretly worked with the somali-born suspect for 18 months. and arrested him as he tried to detonate the fake bomb. the mosque in oregon where muhammad went to pray was se

iran is the 18th lanchest country -- largest country in the world. it's bordered by nine countries including russia, pakistan, and turkey. iran is home to one of the world's oldest civilizations. beginning in 2800 b.c.. famous for its philosophy and shift and math mat ticks. it also has a rich literary heritage. world famous poets. the poem written by the great yin poet in the 19th century today is on display at the united nations. depiction improve, road to human rights charter over 2500 years ago. in defense of basic human dignity. people are curious about prison, especially in the public of iran with rulers who do everything in the name of god and their religion. in 1988 as the political prisoner was underway of the direct orders, i was on the verge of being executeed. i lied in the courts, and saved myself. perhaps so that many years later one day i could describe the tragic holocaust of islamic fear. the importance of what i have been through is not simply to recall the past. today, as i speak with you, my torture who now attained in iran, have s

concerns and talking about the concerns. iran has been sort of willing to talk about these issues from the very beginning as far as we can tell from here. and that is basically continuing so what iran is saying is that we are going to continue with our peaceful nuclear program and we're willing to sit down and talk to a party of concern about that and as you know international atomic energy agency came out with a report a few days ago basically saying that they have not found any diversion to military use based on the reports that inspectors have had so i think iran is what iran is doing is saying that look you can come and inspect our facilities and see for yourself that we are not using this for nuclear military purposes but despite your protestations they say it's all for peaceful purposes and this is also what we've heard before coming out of turn around the west still still point the finger asked around saying the all not transparent enough about what's going on what is it on ready to do you to repeat international fears tha

iran. fifteen years at the wrong can we see. this on themselves so far is this just a political message to iran who we choose can choose this way but. actually the wrong decision all right thank you very much for your time that was kero call to share his thoughts on the casket summit and its highlights. now the latest business news is heading your way in just a few moments hungry for the full story we've got. the biggest issues get a human voice face to face with the news makers. in some petersburg ots available in hotels a story of a little ambassador in a sense politico tell triplets hotel the true story hotel golden. skin. and see if. you visit. hello and welcome to the business but it's in russia is aiming to spend twenty billion dollars on its roads in two thousand and eleven almost nine percent more than this year but the government recognizes it's still not enough and wants additional help from the private sector big pool has the details. russia manages to combine a number of the worst problems in transport just getting fr

the middle east is going to be. but there are fundamental issues with iran. one is the nuclear program but another is the nature of that regime. the unhappiness many people in iran are showing. >> do you think the sanctions are helping a lot? >> there may be comments from people here, but i have been surprised and pleased with how well the administration did getting the people around the table to impose sanctions. they did better than i expected they would and i expect a lot of other folks. i need to talk to people to get a better feel for it, but the theory of sanctions is you are putting a lot of pressure on business class is that middle- class is to in turn put pressure on their regime. the iranian president and a date regime is putting pressure on the middle-class. that's the center of the opposition and i wonder if we don't have a perverse alliance between our sanctions activity and a regime policy, everybody squeezing the middle-class. so i worry about that. sanctions are right and i worry they are not going to be enough. i think you need to marry sancti

right now what if they're paving the way for an attack down the road some are seeing the iran talk pressure as an echo of how we came to invade iraq now earlier i caught up with mathew das national security adviser at the center for american progress and i first asked him if he agreed with me though lately we've really seen the bomb iran crowd picking up some major steam and making their battle cries louder than ever. yeah it's definitely true it has especially with the elections last week with a number of republicans coming in to take over key committees i think and with senator lindsey graham especially this past weekend up in canada making the point that containment is off the table i thought it was pretty notable that senator lindsey graham he is still a senator he's not president was kind of taking it upon himself to dictate u.s. foreign policy toward canada exactly what it was a new era exactly let's look at maybe later on when so yeah i mean this has been building it's been it goes back a number of years even after the iraq invasion there were a number of new conservati

the. president. discuss iran's nuclear ambitions on the sidelines of a. five nation state of the caspian sea. making a stark presses for the key arms reduction deal with russia to be given the go ahead from congress but republicans threaten to storm it. president obama is trying to push his arguably major foreign policy achievement for the senate. taking the field back with more and with a few moments. questions raised over america's justice system as russian businessman victim says he was pressured to confess to crimes he insists he did not commit. moscow says it will continue providing all necessary support to victor boot but does not proclaim whether the russian citizen is innocent or guilty . with twenty four hour news from russia and from around the world this is in moscow . for the first time since backing u.n. sanctions against iran over its nuclear program russia's president has met iranian leader mahmoud ahmadinejad and it was those suspected atomic can bishan which were the focus of the talks held in azerbaijan that you were meeting at a summit

so that's the big one. bomb iran or iran with the bomb. and it's still out there. >> meacham: are we a better country? are we a better-informed country today and therefore a better democracy than we were a week ago? david? >> i'm not sure that i would say that the wikileaks dump hire with all of the ethical concerns one has about how these were initially taken from government computer systems, how they were passed around, makes any of us feel particularly good. but to your broader point, what the founders had in mind was for a press to be actively questioning and illuminating things that the government often found uncomfortable. you know, i think that's a good deal of what the best journalism in america and around the world does each and everyday. but it didn't take wikileaks for the "new york times" and other publications to report as aggressively as we have over the past few years about the tensions between the pakistani military and the united states and the question of whether or not pakistani leaders have sort of been fighting both si

his self-proclaimed socialist revolution alienates the capitalist world and embraces rogue states like iran and north korea. he has championed domestic programs for the poor, but his policies have resulted in a 30% annual inflation rate. polls show that almost half of the venezuelan people oppose him, and in the september 2010 elections, opposition candidates captured more than a third of the national assembly. carlos, what does this election mean? a third of the national assembly captured by the opposition. >> the opposition is getting better and better. they have been improving from an opposition that took for granted that chavez was somebody who they can control, when he won almost 11 years ago, to try nationalist strike, try a coup d'etat, try feelers, even try not to participate in the last ele--in the past election for the congress. so now the opposition has gained more and more coherent kind of approach. i believe that it's failures of chavez in terms of the government and also winnings in terms of the opposition becoming more and more democratic for it. and this means that all the g

well a meeting between the presidents of russia and iran is surely one of the biggest highlights of the summit since it's the first time that they've met since russia back to the latest set off during sanctions on iran and also cancel the shipment of the ass three hundred air defense systems a move which was strongly criticized by iran and caused a significant a significant chilling in relations between the two countries after the meeting with her that this was a positive meeting and that both presidents were not afraid to talk about complicated and even unpleasant issues and of course iran's controversial nuclear program was discussed and moscow says that it's keen to get a clearer picture of iran's of views on the situation and also explain its position in order to try to move the dispute from the deadlock it's currently in russia and iran are neighbors in the caspian region and to moscow says that it's also keen to continue cooperation with iran in many other spheres like peaceful nuclear energy just remind you russia built the bush era nuclear power plants for iran and also even a m

the. proliferation of it all. in good mental for iran in talks about peaceful uses of nuclear energy and transparency around the house signified also its readiness to return to the stalled international. they all scheduled for the summer but just how much progress can we really expect to be achieved. no great expectations. it will be. there will be very small they're a little steps but i do think that the real. to work through the diplomatic means. a year ago. very useful initiative which was one of the sports as i think many in moscow were dissatisfied about one of the russian reactions was strengthening the toughening of russia's position on the security council another russian reaction was canceling of the contract to supply iran with three hundred. but still there is no military solution for iran there is no proof of that. nuclear bomb problem is non-transparency the problem is not the willingness of iranians to cooperate. but i think of the. talks you just mentioned maybe with participation of countries like turkey and brazil we can

to get china which depends heavily on iran for oil to go along with sanctions, the u.s. apparently persuaded saudi arabia's king to guarantee china it would make up any oil it lost from iran. after president obama cancelled plans to put missile defenses in poland which russia believed were directed against it and place them on ships in the mediterranean instead, russia indicated its willingness to move to the pressure tract, support sanctions. >> some of the trades are embarrassing, some reveal deep interests that countries have and reveal things that were never intended to be public. >> reporter: but the cables also make clear iran still finds ways to beat the sanctions. u.s. intelligence warned iran was getting advanced missiles from north korea that could strike european capitals. these documents detail the nitty-gritty diplomacy of trying to head off the iranian nuclear program and they are bound to make for interesting reading in tehran. >> mitchell: they are also revelations that some american diplomats engaged in behavior we normally don't associate with the word d
