-iranian relationship. as fred had noted, i think this is in particularly important, and i think is one of the most valuable result of this first report, and i anticipate of our task force final report. is the emphasis on wives and comprehensive focus by the united states and its allies on this issue of iran. when i say comprehensive, i refer to not only addressing the iranian nuclear issue, but all the other dimensions of this relationship. that would include of courseware for just talking about, who is iran, who is in charge of iran? we know those who occasion will take some time to study a little history and culture, that iran is part of a great product of the middle east, that is, the persian heritage, and the history that that heritage has brought forth. that is not to be minimized, diminished, or dismissed as any of these historical factors are what we're trying to analyze, policy and how we approach countries and people. and i see people in particular, because governments don't always represent peopl

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 nuclear rights under such pressure because that would be humiliation so in stead of having a positive effect the only thing that it does is that it makes iranians more suspicious of the five plus one and especially the united states and less willing to compromise but at the end of the day if the par five plus one changes it added to it and it's highly unlikely that this will happen because it's all we can already hear noises coming from washington that seem to show that they are the that they intend to make it fail but if the five plus one does change just added to it then there are ways to move forward with iran giving up its nuclear rights that there are always two sides of the story all saying the five plus one there's all the countries you change our attitude they're saying of course

iranian relationship. as fred know today and i think this is a particularly important and i think it is one of the most valuable results of this report and i anticipate of the task force final report is the emphasis on wires and comprehensive focus by the united states and its allies on this issue of iran. when i see comprehensive, i refer to not only addressing the iranian nuclear issue but all the other dimensions of this relationship that would include, of course, what fred just talked about -- who is iran? who is in charge of iran? we know of those who occasionally will take time to study a lot of history and culture that iran is part of a great product of the middle east, and that is the persian heritage and history that heritage has brought forth. that is not to be minimized, the domenici or dismissed as any of these historical factors are when we are trying to analyze a policy and how we approach countries and people, and i see people in particular because governments don't always represent the peop

i take my cue from iranians. particularly members of the green movement to say that the one thing that could destroy the chances for democracy in that country for another generation would be a u.s. attack in iran. i think perhaps ambassador eisenstaedt and senator hagel will be able to respond better as to why you have to say that option remains on the table. >> do either of you want to comment? >> i would say that if you really don't mean it and they know you don't mean, it is not significant. from my standpoint, while hired with everything that has been said and emphasized that we need to give sanctions a chance to work and we need to give the increasing isolation that iran is facing a chance to change their policies, we need to avoid driving the opposition into the hands of the more radical elements -- we also have to send a very clear message, in my opinion, that what is most unacceptable is iran having a nuclear bomb. if they don't understand that we think that is in deep unacceptable -- indeed on acceptable

in 1983 following the iranian government's crackdown on all opposition parties, mr. asadi was arrested and sent to the infamous prison in tehran where he was kept in solitary confinement for almost two ke years. and was severely tortured until he falsely confessed tol operating as a spy for the british and russian intelligence agencies. he was sentenced to death by w hanging but was freed after serving six years of his sentence. mr. asadi joins us this evening to discuss his book about his experiences, "letters to my torturer: love, revolution and d imprisonment in iran." michael henderson, author of "no enemy to conquer: forgiveness in an unforgiving world," has called the book a scathing indictment of torture and a testament to survival against all o odds. so won't you please join me in welcoming houshang asadi.omin [applause] >> good evening and thanks a lot for coming. i am so happy just this moment, one of iranian directer came out of here, and he was in prison too. and have a bad experience liken me. my name is houshang asadi, and i now live in exile in paris.

but iranians, many iranians, i think houshang being one of them, he thinks it's a mistake to think the nuclear issue is the most important issues in the negotiations between the united states and iran. that human rights should have a much higher priority in those discussions. >> one more question. >> do you think your life is in more danger from publishing? [translator speaking] [speaking native tongue] >> translator: for the last 100 years, the lives of many iranian intellectuals and writers have been in danger. even in there room, there's another gentleman here who is a highly accomplished film director who's life is also equally at risk. this is the nature of being iranian, i think. >> will you sign books? >> of course. >> thank you so much.

i think it's a sign that the iranian government is going full force regard to its. nuclear program. apparently don't have any effect. this issue iran is basically continuing the process that asserted many years ago that would surround get from russia's participation in this project. you know russian companies have around to build this plant and know the plant. they know that iran is not going to military use regard to this plant or for that matter it's nuclear program altogether and that is a sign that. iran is basically following a peaceful nuclear program and russia is physically on the ground to see that and to prove that so that helps you runs international standing showing that it doesn't have any. reason to go nuclear and it's going now you talk about a lot of things helping to improve iran's international standing by let's talk about the broader nuclear program here in particular part of it the dull schools concerned the wider international community but we do know that iran has finally agreed to participate in the six party talks over its atomic campeche and that's the first

but certainly iranians and the north koreans have had a long missile relationship. we don't know if they have a nuclear relationship as well. >> iran is part of this cable dump that i've spent the most time reading over the last 24 hours. i've read about i guess 35 or so cables. and i think this is the case where journalists like david and "newsweek" where you used to work and a lot of other publications that follow american foreign policy everyday deserve a lot of credit. the basic contours of american policy towards iran, the fact that many arab states are extremely concerned about it, the fact that nobody has a great solution but sanctions are toughening up. all of these basic facts we've learned about through good journalism over the last several years including, as david brought us to the final question. and i think you see in the cables the diplomats saying what the american people are going to be saying very soon which is which is worse? an iran with a nuclear weapon capability of some kind or the consequences of using military force against iran? this is the

they can be more frank with them and the iranians will listen and i think. from what was diplomatically said at the meeting they had a pretty frank discussion about the iranian nuclear program and that sort of thing at least that's what the president of russia mentioned. and that's now have a look at some other news from around the world americas north korea cheaply flying urgent talks with pyongyang his neighbors neighbors following its announcement of a new highly sophisticated uranium enrichment facility stephen bosworth will visit south korea japan and china to discuss the reclusive state's nuclear capability plane's pilot satellite images showing new construction at the country's atomic complex experts say the facility could be a ploy for concessions in nuclear negotiations all for domestic political consumption in north korea. roman catholics gathered in western poland on sunday for the consecration of what local officials say is the largest statue of christ in the world the massive monument took over four years to build with local businesses hoping it

>> well, the iranians aren't helping the brazilians develop nuclear technology. if the iranians are cooperating on nuclear technology with venezuela, it's documented. the agreement was signed in november of 2008 or 2009, and that's against u.n. resolutions. >> quick question for--mark. quick question for everybody. we're gonna go around the table. what do you think--do you think that chavez will be re-elected in 2012? >> it depends how he moves from now to 2012. he will begin to change all the rules again, because anytime that he loses an election, he changes the rule again. >> ok, but yes or no? >> i hope no. i hope that opposition is gonna begin improving, and i hope that it's gonna be a major movement of people against chavez in the next election. >> roger? >> if the process is more fair, if the opposition is able to change the rules of the game to where there's a more level playing field in terms of access to the media, et cetera, and if they're unified, i think they can give him a real contest. >> do you think chavez will be re-elected in 2012? >> i think pr

. >>> iranian energy officials say iran's first power plant is now loaded with fuel and operating. officials say it will take another month or two before the light water reactor begins pumping electricity to iranian cities. the plant is not part of the nuclear program that is the source of concern to the u.s. and other countries. iran began building the plant in 1975, with the help of germany, but germany ended that partnership. russia agreed to help finish it in the 1990s and delivered the nuclear fuel, beginning in 2007. iranian officials say the nuclear plant is strictly for power and not for military purposes. >>> some of south korea's military members protested on the streets of the nation's capital on saturday, saying they were angry their country's government did not do enough to respond to recent shelling by north korea. on tuesday, north korea shelled the island of i don't -- war games amid heightened tensions with the north. and with fears of more clashes between the two koreas, china sent a pair of envoys to seoul. china and south korea discussed tuesday's attacks, as we

administration with respect to the iranian threat? >> how is the arab lobby lobbying the government on the iranian threat? as i said, the principal concern of saudi arabia is the survival of the monarchy. the saudis and the other gulf states are petrified of the iranians much more than the israelis because they are a lot closer and the israeli -- iranians make no pretense about their designs on parts of the gulf. they occupy one of the islands owned by bahrain, they're constantly having border disputes so the saudis are scared to death of the iranians but the saudis are very scared of how they are dealt with. that if they don't think the united states will take action against the year iranians, they will do one of two things and have already done both leaders bill that is to try to buy off the iranians. they have gone and had meetings with iran in the past to try to appease them and at the same time they are finding a nuclear cooperation agreement and there are likely to pursue a nuclear weapon. one of the biggest dangers about the ir

they can be more frank with them and the iranians will listen and i think. from what was diplomatically said at the meeting they had a pretty frank discussion about the iranian nuclear program and that sort of thing at least that's what the president of russia mentioned. eight men have been arrested in connection with the horrific massacre of three families in. region they killed eight adults and four children but corrupt also being blamed. the governor has several high ranking offices linking them to other crimes. grieving relatives and commemorated candles got this quiet rural neighborhood it is hard to believe that this peaceful place in southern russia was the scene of considerable brutality a dozen people including children were stabbed to death in this village of. four out of twelve victims are buried here at the small symmetry everyone who knew these people is in deep shock victor used to work for their metal family they were farmers he says real hard workers. this is the head of the family sergei and his wife elin are in daughter in law elaina and he
