why did the iaea have to take that step. now i ask you, did the iaea take the right step? why do they not print and make public the names of american nuclear scientists. why do they not make the same public for japan, or great britan? >> rose: may i ask a question. >> please. >> rose: do you believe that they made them public in order that someone could assassinate them. >> they made an officl announcement, they made them public in their report >> rose: but you are -- >> they made them public. >>ose: you are sugsting that the iaea did this in order that it would lead to their assassination of these scientists? clearly you're not saying that, clearly are you not making them, the iaea complicity in e assassination of iranian scientist, whoever did it. >> you see, this needs investigation. i will not pass a judgement now whether the iaea was compcity with the zyonist regime and interests. i'm noreaching a conclusion on that. i'm not judging. it needs a pror investigation. >> rose:eah. >> but the iaea went outside the framework of the law. whh resulted in the identities of our

the iaea says they have information on developments.s nuclear program -- >> the nuclear power plant, is entirely peaceful. but the iaea says it has information possibly related to the development of a nuclear weapon. iran says that it is baseless. they want corp. with the agency. a senior inspector visited other facilities, including an underground site. it is here that i ran has machines that will continue and expand its uranium enrichment program. it can be used to dispute nuclear energy or make an atomic bomb. it is, corp., but some sources -- cooperating, but some sources are skeptical. the talks with the council broke down over our brands demand to the right to produce enriched uranium to be recognized. >> and simon henderson is an expert on the persian gulf from the washington institute. he says the iaea does not believe the claims of iran. >> there is too much evidence that iran is working not only to make a nuclear bomb, but also shaping that bomb on top of a missile. we know that iran has many missiles. we know also that they a

in a statement, the iaea condemned the country for threatening the nuclear nonproliferation scheme. the world's population is projected to hit seven billion on october 31 and the u.n. is calling for global efforts to address poverty and inequality. secretary-general ban ki-moon was speaking at a meeting to launch actions at u.n. headquarters in new york on wednesday. >> it's an challenge, an opportunity and a call for action to all of us to confront grinding poverty and inequality. >> the united nations is staging various events around the world in the lead-up to october 31 to raise awareness for the population prom. u.n. figures indicate the world's population is projected to surge past nine billion before 2050 and region 10.1 billion by the end of the century if current fertility rates continue. >> the number of foreign visitors to japan in august fell 32% from last year. the nuclear crisis and strong yen were the key factors behind a sixth consecutive monthly decline. the japan national tourism said there were as estimated 546,800, down 31.9% from the same month last year. the ra

the iaea also adopted an action plan on nuclear safety, containing measures highlighting transparency that aim to reinforce the safe use of nuclear energy around the world in the aftermath of the post- quake nuclear meltdown at japan's fukushima power plant. choi you-sun, arirang news. south korea is reportedly developing its own version of us patriot missiles. these long-range missiles, which are capable of traveling more than double the distance of the original missiles, will be used to intercept north korean ballistic missiles or fighter jets at high altitudes. military sources say the state-run defense agency for technology and quality... will complete preliminary research the on long- range surface-to-air missiles by the end of this year... while the military plans to set up basic outlines for further development until early next year. with just over a month left until the by- elections, the race for seoul mayor is heating up. lawmaker na kyung- won of the ruling grand national party has joined the race. kang seok-ho reports. with about one month left until the october 26th by- e

this week the iaea confirmed. they are slow to confirm these thing so this is a huge warning bell. not so sure that u.n. sanctions can work at this point. i think we may be too late. susan rice, our ambassador at the u.n., she's only passed one resolution on iran, and i think that the slowness of passing that one signals that she's not going to be able to get another one. >> we've got to keep our eyes on iran. and also we have to keep our eyes on al qaeda. there are reports that al qaeda is on the ropes. where does that put the united states in terms of dealing with al qaeda? we know they lost two key people, including osama bin laden and now their number-two man. >> there's no question we've had recent success, and i think that's great. we have to remember that al qaeda is still recruiting. they may be close to -- they may be having trouble operationally and we certainly are removing some of the leadership, but the recruiting is still successful as evidenced by two situations. one, you have al shabab in somalia which killed americans, british nationals, a hot of somalis, a lot of

the iaea, international atomic energy agency, asked for a special inspection of that facility. let me just add, this comes at a very inappropriate time as far as global nuclear power industries are concerned. tomorrow the iaea is set to take up a series of recommendations to increase safety regulations at plants globally. it's recommendations doesn't want to see passed. this accident, even if it's nonnuclear, is going to have an impact and raise concerns of most of the agencies' members. >> joe cirincione. the rumors that you have, it's never a good idea to have an explosion at a nuclear facility. the rumors that you have that tattooed on your back in latin, i can tell everybody that's not true. thank you. >> absolutely. >> thank you. >> thank you for having me on. >> appreciate it. >>> the interview tonight, with former fbi counterterrorism a agent aliff sufan, parent of t of the reason how we find out that al qaeda was behind 9/11. the story why he left the government since then is as amazing as the story of what he did while in government. >>> there was a reason why presiden

the action plan is expected to be implemented after it's approved at the iaea's general conference to be held from monday. >>> safety officials in france say the incident at one of the country's nuclear waste facilities over. an explosion at the marcoule complex killed one person and injured four others. the accident happened inside a building that houses a furnace that's used to melt low level radioactive waste. about four tons of scrap metal extracted from nuclear waste was being melted inside the faurs in at the time of the accident. the cause of the explosion is not known. the facility suffered no major damage and there have been no radiation leaks. local residents are complaining that nuclear authorities didn't release enough information after the explosion. they're skeptical of the facility's safety. >> translator: residents were not informed. we haven't been kept up to date. we've been listening to the radio. people have been exchanging information by telephone and word of mouth. >> there is a high concentration of nuclear facilities in mar cool and the surrounding area. that i

the eu also expressed concern over north korea's decision to ban iaea inspectors from entering its nuclear plant in 2009. the agency now relies on information on north korea's nuclear activities from other sources. north korea abandoned the six- party talks aimed at scrapping its nuclear arsenal in april 2009 and conducted its second nuclear test just one month later. however, last month, russia announced that north korean leader kim jong-il had expressed his will to unconditionally re- engage with the five other parties during a summit with russian president dmitry medvedev. but the us says that pyeongyang's readiness to declare a moratorium on its missiles and nuclear weapons program is insufficient adding that washington is not interested in talks for talks sake. lee ji-yoon, arirang news. 61 years ago on this day, us general douglass macarthur led american and south korean troops in the incheon landing, the battle that helped drive the north koreans out of the south and turned the tide of the korean war. our kim han-ul reports from a commemoration ceremony onboard the r-o-k-s dokdo. on

there are iaea inspectors who have been to it, russian technicians are on ground.t is really a separate issue from iran's alleged bomb program and in fact it is so separate, it is really not even subject to the sanctions that you alluded to before when you mentioned ambassador rice's comments. >> so we hear so much about the concern about enriching uranium. are you saying that at no point could this plant actually be used to do so? >> you know, if they had no plant whatsoever, if iran had no nuclear power plants but had centrifuges, they could make a bomb. if they had a power plant but no centrifuges, they wouldn't be able to make a bomb. it is really a separate thing. now some folks like to argue that if you have a big civilian nuclear program that can sort of provide cover, it gives you an excuse to have a lot of nuclear scientists so it makes detection of an illicit program more difficult. but it's been u.s. policy since the late bush administration. late bush, now into obama, it is fine for iran to have a civilian nuclear program. they can have the bashir react

it could easily iaea lech president obama. so i think they fully understand that.ised if it happened but this is not your typical political organization. they don't respond to two or three leaders. i think each one of them regards themselves as a leader in their community, in this movement. so it's going to be difficult to get them all on the same page. jenna: you say the tea party fully understands, maybe, the its actions as far as how it could affect 2012. do you think the republican establishment fully understands the strength of the tea party and understands how to bring the tea party in to help move together rather than move apart? >> jenna, they're trying to understand. i think ater 2010, those elections, they understand a lot better. look, they admire them and appreciate the energy and the effort that they bring to republican politics. they also fear them. it is always a good thing to be feared in politics. machiavelli said that many years ago in the press. they are feared and for that reason, republicans tend to tiptoe around them. jenna: how do you think w

. >> eric: and talking about the potential implication and iaea, the u.n. so-called nuclear watchdog now apparently predicts they could have a nuclear bomb within 6 months. do you agree and concur? >> yes. independent calculations show they could enrich the low enriched uranium they have into a weapons-grade amount within about two months and the weaponization process which has been continuing despite purported intelligence estimates to the contrary, are putting them very close. their delivery system remains in question and i don't know if they have the ballistic missile capability yet but the big fear here has always been they could take a nuclear device and give it to a terrorist group and put it in a box car and on a transsteamer and sail it into a major harbor like new york and don't need ballistic missiles, necessarily to deliver the weapon. >> eric: and are enriching uranium in defiance of the u.n. security council resolution to an amount, they say, greater than is needed for electricity, ambassador john bolton, thanks for your words of caution, as al

apparently the international atomic energy agency, the iaea, was aware of these sites.s interesting is that it was thought that these sites were secured. and clearly they're not. when we arrived there, there were four or five teenage boixs maybe men in their early 20s guarding the site. but certainly that is not adequate, given the gravity of the materiel there. right next to it was another huge warehouse full of old surface to air missiles. we're told the fuses on those missiles have deteriorated and are very delicate. if anybody knocks them with a bar or something, they can explode and they're right next to the site full of what appears to be yellowcake. >> incredibly volatile situation. thanks so much. >>> up next in this country, does a fictional television show go too far when using a 9/11 theme in its story line? or does it, like the actor says, honor those lost that day? when an investment lacks discipline, it's never this obvious. introducing investment discipline etfs from russell. visit russelletfs.com r a prospectus, containing the investment objectives, risk

on the question of iran, i will just be interested after the announcement by the iaea last week that they encreased their enrichment activities. what further actions do you think might be necessary or taken by the administration to strengthen other sanctions and what do you think we in the senate might be doing to continue to enforce a multilateral approach towards prevepting the iranians from achieving what i think are their aims and which as you put it are a great threat to our security, to israel's security and to the world? >> thank you, senator. i share your concern about iran. i think as i've been getting briefings at the state department to prepare for this hearing and hopefully to prepare for the job, i've been struck by the progress we actually have made. if you had asked me just a couple of years ago whether the european union would have put on unilateral sanctions to the extent that it did i would say might not be an easy thing to get done because they had so many of their companies, particularly their energy companies that were in iran. now, most of those energy companies

next year japan will co-host an international conference with the iaea to share the results of the overall assessment of the accident in comprehensive detail and contribute to the various measures taken to raise the standards for nuclear safety although some countries regrettably are still imposing undue restrictions on imports from japan, our government will continue to provide prompt and accurate information on this matter with transparency. i request that all countries make sound judgments based upon the scientific evidence. mr. president, global threats continue to proliferate. it is essential to solve the root conference of these threats what taking steps to address them. japan will continue to respond to those challenges in order to ensure a brighter and more peaceful future. with regard to the issue of piracy off the coast of somalia, japan will remain actively engaged with combating the problem with two destroyers and patrol aircraft. japan intends to make an effort toward the eradication of terrorism as well as its causes. despite the passage of a decade since the 911 attacks, our
