Iran\\\'s president-elect Hassan Rohani says he will seek \\\"constructive interaction\\\" with the world through a moderate policy after he takes the oath of office in early August. Rohani, who was speaking in his first press conference on Monday, said his administration of \\\"Prudence and Hope\\\" will follow a \\\"moderate\\\" policy line in serving national objectives.
Rohani, a former chief nuclear negotiator, said Iran will manage to have the sanctions eased by showing \\\"more transparency\\\" and trying to \\\"build confidence\\\" with the world. He added that the era of sanctions is over and emphasized that Iran\\\'s nuclear energy activities have been legal and in line with international regulations.
Rohani said the Iranian people created a new opportunity for interaction with the world through their active participation and mass turnout in the election. Rohani added that in its foreign policy his administration would give priority to \\\"amicable and close\\\" relations with all neighboring countries based on good neighborliness, and mutual respect and interests. The president-elect said any negotiation with the US must be based on \\\"mutual respect and interests\\\" and meet certain conditions.

The G8 summit of world leaders ended with the usual positive statements about so-called progress on the main agenda items such as the conflict in Syria and a US/EU trade deal.
But Russia blocked a joint G8 statement which would have called for President Assad to step down.
President Putin also made it clear that a political solution is the only way to stop the conflict and that the Western plan to arm the rebels would only pour fuel on the fire.
The G8 summit received a mixed reception in northern Ireland itself. Some viewed it as a positive sign of progress in a part of the world which has been blighted by sectarian violence.
Others felt that the G8 leaders were war criminals and an international financial mafia governing on behalf of the rich and powerful.
Like northern Ireland itself, views were sharply polarized.
The conflict in Syria is very unlikely to be solved by this summit. Despite a joint statement on Syria it\'s clear that the major world powers have major disagreements on this issue. And we also must remember that the G8 has a reputation of fine words that later do not translate into reality.

A United Nations human rights body has criticized the Tel Aviv regime for torturing Palestinian children, saying the Israeli military frequently uses them as human shields in its operations.
The UN Committee on the Rights of the Child said on Thursday Palestinian children in the occupied West Bank and blockaded Gaza Strip are normally not allowed to have their birth registered, and are denied access to health care, decent schooling as well as safe drinking water. The UN report also stated that an estimated 7,000 Palestinian children aged 12 to 17, but some as young as nine, have been arrested, interrogated and detained over the past ten years.
Press TV has conducted an interview with Paul Larudee, from the Free Palestine Movement, about this issue.
