politicians say it's iran's a refusal to comply with previous u.n. security council resolutions to allow full inspection of your atomic sites this was a reason that convinced for example russia and china to back up the sanctions so when will iran be ready to to to fully open its sites with suppression i one hundred percent of the due respect disagree with you because you have to. make a distinction again between the spec sharon and our obligation and that of the n.p.t. and those requests under deplete takes of united for security council the are fully cooperating with the i.a.e.a. under the n.p.t. and by now four thousand man day special has been made in iran which is unprecedented in the history of i.a.e.a. what you were really ferrying however was there the question of security council resolution to suspend to a stop these activities of a rich man or heavy water reactor a construction which is in not a legally binding in fact without no legal basis and this we cannot of course do that because this enrichment is one hundred percent under control and

this is a principle of iran and quote that's right. a few days ago after you said that your president ahmadinejad's said i quote again how can an agreement be reached as long as there are sanctions and quote will the lifting of sanctions is iran's own precondition so are you are you against preconditions or not wait a minute you have to distinguish the fact that we have over a say isn't a policy of cateau tennis the sanction and negotiation in principle is wrong and nobody can accept that it has been it has been on this globe for for for for centuries if we we have this is how things are this is an uncivilized no colonialism mentality and we have to confront this mentality isn't it the way we bring up her kids i mean the carrot and stick no no no no no no no no we shouldn't do that because i was not really isn't there that we don't know if we are doing we are sinners because one of the heroes you sit down for me will confront this kind of mentality and that is why if you are. remember years back they were say they were saying that iran

iran, iran and iran. as we take a look at the rest of the world trying to deal with iran through discussions and negotiations, does anyone think they have stopped for a minute totheir accelerated attempt achieve nuclear weapon capability? does anyone doubt, given the that they have ignored with great impunity, u.n. resolution after u.n. resolution? does anyone decide that we are not being effective and we have not been able to influence policy. they look at the multilateral organization with great impunity. one of the great ironies is that every year mahmoud ahmadinejad appears before the u.n. he comes to the united states. he is able to express whatever he feels like in a the animus or rhetorical way. that same opportunity -- in a venemous or rhetorical way. there is someone who would love to come to the united states.

is not about human rights in iran the whole thing is about iran's position in the world iran is a powerful country has a great deal of oil it has a great deal of military it also has a great sense of its position the persian empire the derivatives of it they also have a sense of grievance against the west for the coup in one nine hundred fifty two for the exploitation of the oil for the imposition of the shar and also the behavior towards the islamic republic and so i think we have to have a dialogue with iran they don't have nuclear weapons at the moment they are signatories to nuclear nonproliferation treaty they have withdrawn from the voluntary supplementary protocol i think we should be up to gauge with iran rather than the sanctions policy and the isolation of iran engagement is likely to bring about improvements in human rights engagement is likely to bring about the prosper . to iran working with the rest of the world and engage would actually strengthen the hands of civil society in iran as well. thank you very much you very welcome thank you. to you the latest in science and tech

we cannot stop iran. we might be able to persuade them. >> the war in terror is very much focused on afghanistan. a drawdown supposedly next year. symbolic for real? >> i do not think it will be a real drawdown. the talks should have started earlier. we had the experience in northern ireland with the ira. it took a long time with a group like this. we should start now but not expect a major outcome. the fighting will carry on at the same time. >> america will be, of course, publicly, at its head. you have to have channels. do you agree with that analysis? >> sure, and there is going to have to be a settlement about these things. we saw iraq. it will not be formally sitting down at a peace conference table, but there will be local conversations with taliban and other insurgent, and the goal will be to bring them up of the insurgency, to give up their arms, and focus on those elements that are irreconcilable. that is the process by which all of these insurgency's ultimately in. >> is going to take a lot of

outside of iran. ending u.s. policy, i mean citizens. i think it's important that we embrace this movement for freedom. secondly, with the mek, yeah, i think it makes sense to take them off the terrorism list. you know, north korea was taken up the list. i don't know if you know this some time ago. and this is something that i'm not going to say. this is bureaucracies. you know, bureaucracies move slow. to those families got to do some kind of gigantic leaps. i'm not making any excuses, but this is something we need to reassess right away. and it seems that this is a nation, an important movement and we should take steps to make it happen. the third is the camp ashraf situation. obviously we've got to find ways to protect those iranians that are there. i think it's inexcusable that we're not doing it. talk about how they leverage with the government of iraq. we do have it. and so we should find ways to make that happen. not the same time, i think it's important to recognize why iran is important to am

who are highly critical of any engagement with the international community that both things iran can to solve comfort them and it wants to negotiate are important but they're also be yet another hidden agenda here where some with the western diplomats are saying that iran is actually trying to create a rift in the six party talks members by inviting some in fact only two out of the six were invited and then clearly snubbing the others would you agree that that could be an agenda. well that's an agenda that's all the time ongoing day do so from ever there has been a start in negotiations or talks or whatever and it never worked out it never worked out so certainly there may be some people in iran who thought that they could create a fish or already if perhaps the are lucky but i think the remits dems are quite realistic now they never managed to really break out. five plus one formula. the behavior of russia and china just shows once again that it doesn't work and i think there is much realism on the arena side but you're right they try to use you saying earlier they're trying to prov

round of iran's nuclear program the international powers who carried out the two day talks with iran say they're disappointed with the outcome in istanbul where you go to pick an office there and tell us live now at your core there was a lot pinned on these talks wasn't there the world powers there must be feeling quite deflated really. unfortunate we see this long running dispute us field to move from the current deadlock and the two sides have you fields to agree on the mix of negotiations on iran's nuclear program according to the representatives of the six nations which include russia the united states germany france great britain and china. they were hoping to hold. open dialogue with. positive dialogue with north korea conditions prepared an updated version of the international atomic energy use energy agency's offer to enrich iran's uranium abroad and supply it with nuclear fuel for peaceful nuclear reactors thus providing international control over the process while iran has so far failed to officially reply to this offer and also according to the representatives of the six n

it's a bit to extend between your i think jim if i can stay with you you're also an expert on iran what do you think of that ratcheting up more pressure another round of sanctions. the use of force is still on the table as it were i mean this could be a big year with there's a lot of inflation in iran there's a lot of the sanctions are taking in effect and we see. again the issue of refined petroleum goods not getting into it on i mean this could you see this is a year critical year for around as well and its troubled relationship with the west . yes i mean this is sort of a slow moving crisis here it will probably deepen unfortunately i'm a hard wired up to most but i don't have a lot of optimism about the iranian situation we will get new a new sanctions resolution there will be increasing pressure on president obama to use military force that will increase not decrease over time the real question for me peter is what's going to happen inside of iran one of the i think one of the main obstacles to progress here has been the internal political divisions within the conservative camp wit

that's the reason why i am not surprised by the fact that iran lived amid satellite and space iran is a country of development of technologies and that's the food of obtaining nuclear technologies a country is entering the nuclear field will have high tech industry and its universities will be at the higher level too the country will become the leading one some countries do not want to iran to be among the leaders and be strong in a sphere of technology so they know that we do not want to have nuclear weapons but they do not want us to. become strong in the spheres of technology. if i thought i was a future of the iranian nuclear program do you see what's around to do and the end . you know we hope that the countries which committed a historic mistake them involved the year one and that will admit to this fact we demanded they should stop talks in the north as soon as possible so there will be able to be no corporation with the height of the topic they're discussing there is a fiction about a laptop a line to be the west we hope that our friends including about shock will assist freez

and it's the final day of nuclear talks for global political heavyweights but iran is standing firm refusing to justify its of time for. you know you're watching r.t. world news are much more welcome to the program the man nicknamed the merchant of death in the west will have to wait at least another six months to find out his fate for us a judge has ruled that a russian businessman big to boot will stand trial in the new york federal court in september he's facing charges of conspiring to kill americans and supplying weapons to terrorists and it's a situation that has more. it was definitely an interesting and interesting hearing we saw a picture of good he seems to have lost quite a lot of weight his hair has grown longer his wife his daughter and his mother were also present in the courtroom because this was the first time he got to see a glimpse of him in a very very long time and essentially what was going on inside the courtroom or several technical questions were being decided such as setting a trial date and also of course importantly the defense team presented to the judge that they

what is the word iran mean? the word iran means that are the true, the name was changed from persia in 1935 to invoke the ancient name of iran as a salute to a massive not see dominated iranian infrastructure. after the british took over, the oil wells, secure them, that they had from decades, in iraq for years, not decades, they then moved into iran, expelled of the shock, brought in the mandate you know as the shah of iran, and kicked out 2000 not g8 agitators and military men and advance units that were creating railroad systems, trains, all sorts of infrastructure, events to cut iran off from the west, to cut the oil off from the west, and to give the oil simply to nazi germany. after that, the arabs said okay, we're going to switch. they recruited not one muslim fighter, not 100, not 1000, but tens of thousands. three divisions. they were to me in yugoslavia. anyone here from yugoslavia? ought not. >> okay. let me tell you what happened in yugoslavia. i want you to come again, except my apology in advance.

came in they have been you know involved in incidents where american citizens died in iran clearly i mean they meet the definition i think it's very much worth looking into what has been their record over the past few years but in the past yes they've been linked to among other things the taking of u.s. hostages in iran after the revolution they have carried out various terrorist terrorist acts they were aligned with saddam they said they attacked iran from iraq they were given refuge by saddam in iraq they aided him in his crackdown on shiites and kurds in the early one nine hundred ninety s. so it's just it's just deeply ironic that these conservatives would go and support this group that was aligned with saddam hussein well there has to be some reason right why are they doing it now why are they deciding to shield their eyes like all . they're wrong doings never happened i mean it's all in order to be that iran war drum we've talked about this before you essentially predicted that this is what was going to happen right i mean glad you brought that up because i think the last time

i think iran's terrorist threat is now even more obvious as well. the press this week, of course, is filled with reports about the overthrow of the government in tunisia, the challenges of the government in egypt and yemen, but let us not forget that at the same time iran is doing its best, and i'm afraid with considerable success, to subvert pro-democracy progress in other countries. in iraq, i am very concerned that is by the end of this year in fact american oaks forces are withdrawn, that we will see iranian influence growing, and the government or a successor will basically repress the opposition in iraq, and undo a lot of the good that has been done there. even more dramatically, right now, as we need, the hezbollah terrorist organization has succeeded in imposing a new government in lebanon, dependent on the has the law block in parliament, that i think very much puts at risk the progress of the cedar revolution in has -- in lebanon. has the law has three offices in london on in the hands of people essentially subservient to them, meaning sub

nations representative and the russian envoy said that they support a peaceful nuclear program any iran but once again we have to be sure and it's peaceful intentions meanwhile the latest a fourth set of u.n. sanctions is still in place there are severe limitations on the sale of arms to iran and there are travel bans and asset freezes for some of the members of the revolutionary guard planes and ships coming and leaving iran are checked for prohibited cargo and also countries are banned from accepting investment from iran into a very nuclear programs and there are nuclear facilities that can offer importing from istanbul. the new flavor of support for afghanistan could be leaving a bitter taste in american right now india may not be contributing as much cash to the war torn country as the u.s. but afghans believe the nearby nations role is having a bigger impact on his paula slayer of course. it's no secret money can't buy you love but it's a lesson still to be learnt in afghanistan at least by the americans they've invested some fifty billion dollars in the country india just over a b
