and so both go with the most scary bill says oh a t.v. a toy a media plays them on the merchant of death maybe they get the nine eleven ten times it comes as new challenges moore's against the alleged russian arms due to an investigation. behind the deadly mostly metric loss of links to international terrorists that's according to russian security service the evidence was found off the mughal by valley back up all this killed in a special operation last week. the online whistleblower wiki leaks promises to release a secret cia document told wednesday the announcement comes at just the most optimistic in the middle soundless u.s. military files regarding at the town. of since the fall of the idea in ancient greece democracy has undergone a many changes in definition but is still essential the politics of peace well
2:33 pm
that's according to historian and theorists he spake to nor i met in london. democracy originally meant that it's the people who hold the power and exercise you say that sometimes you see that something false could you elaborate on that well it's not what we have today because very obviously i didn't rule the united kingdom and you don't rule the united kingdom and. so you could argue about how many people do it but certainly you know very many people through this when they very definitely on most things isn't enough hints the systems weren't a very large proportion of the population but they did take all the major public decisions and there went very many people who were trying to exercise special absurdity and move to the military leaders elected
2:34 pm
and that was seen as a rather undemocratic practice because the spirit necessary because in a war you want to be quite sure that you were led by the people who are most likely to lead you to victory do you think that democracy as it exists today has changed for better or who us first what democracy is is a greek word for naming that particular set of brake arrangements a long time ago and there's arrangements essentially disappear. thousand years ago roughly a little bit less. and they didn't really they haven't ever really reappeared except on a very small scale and they don't have much to do with the way in which any modern state is gulf states much bigger. and they are there gotten through complicated public iraq recess. governing body relatively small numbers of innocence professional politicians. and that's something that is
2:35 pm
a very different structure and it's ridiculous to describe that as rude by the people. in today's question what democracy has become the only acceptable for government how. well it's essentially happened because the. two principal competitors to us and western history. and aristocracy collapsed in the course of the nineteenth and twentieth century and what we now call democracy is what was left instead which involves all the citizens almost all citizens. at least a notional form in the way the power is actually held which involves them very very sporadically and pretty feebly i think one could say do you think democracy can be used to cover our. school system when i think it always is i mean that is in a way the main point i want to make i mean this is the walker see is both the name
2:36 pm
of a form of government not very clearly defined form of government and a political pretension or party political claim which is that a form of government is actually authorized by the people of the very very great majority of states and. governments which claim to be authorised by the people at large but if you ask how the people actually do their authorizing the answer is they have a very very small bit paul revere they intervene in some countries barely at all and in any countries only every few years and very briefly and in a way which gives the mix stream little control over the outcome. anything to us had a profound effect on democracy could you describe that roughly speaking since the end of the second world war the united states has definitely been the opinion that
2:37 pm
the rest of the world should be governed in much the same way as it was government has been much the most part. all state in the world over that period of time and it's insisted with a very vehement very coercive inus on the merits of its way of its approach to governing to other peoples and obviously. for a long period of time between shortly after the end of the second world war and the collapse of the soviet union it was a century in a global power struggle with a completely different way of organizing and both of which i mean called themselves democracy a base of which had some grounds for call themselves democracy and neither of which are on their time offering have very strong grounds for calling themselves democracy because that isn't what democracy meant. to us democracy it's station. in the islamic world in the same health class america is sponsoring
2:38 pm
insurgency. twenty first century democracy the united states has no particular insight into most of the rest of the world and it's had a long time a very considerable set up with power over any other potential competitor and it has. a very considerable overconfidence about its capacity to judge what's good and bad for other countries and all the state under the. george w. bush presidency it interferes a lot in other parts of the world on the basis of that judgment in a very indiscreet way and yet that seems how democracy see isn't it nowadays in this sort of evangelical way for george w. bush to sell said democracy was the best weapon in fighting terrorism what did you think when he said well i thought he was a fool. but i thought he was a fool and the people behind him were knaves if you see what i mean i mean that
2:39 pm
claim was made in defense of very a. forward military and political policy on the united states of the united states in various parts of the world and that policy has not proved wise and it was inherently objectionable in some respects. no decent motives behind the tool but there were a lot of not very decent motives behind it and it was a very stupid policy what has the. regimes in basic iraq and afghanistan force us about the process of democratization the process of democratization you could say is progress towards a very good outcome which hasn't actually come out anywhere in the world so if you have an ambitious can of democratization what those two experiences taken together of torturous is that it's absolutely hopeless to try to move fast in the direction of that and by bombing countries pieces and
2:40 pm
invading them. without bothering to inform yourself about what was. the views beliefs and practices of most of their inhabitants. under saddam hussein very whole. new afghanistan which isn't really under any one ever. promising candidates for rapid democratization and it isn't possible to democratize anyway by bombing it in invading it do you think that democracy is in essence compatible with. me. yes i do i think it's quite likely that in the longer run. any islamic country which is really successful economically. will. flourish culturally and will insist on something much more light what we call democracy as
2:41 pm
its government system. they won't be able to do so rapidly and there's a lot of stuff in the way i don't think it's true for example that you're wrong couldn't be what we call a democracy it was the resilience majority of them who are moving in that direction will be assisted to do so by being molested from the outside you hope that introducing democracy into open democratic societies ultimately has next to facts playing out where it depends on how you do the introducing a bit i mean you could say in a way that in the very long run britain introduce democracy into india. but it did so jolly slowly. and the absolutely crucial point is that at the point that it introduced democracy it withdrew briskly. the indians. got on with this in their way. the results of the sparks the
2:42 pm
biggest democracy in the world are now our understanding of. all that it has pretty characteristics in many ways it's been a triumphant success and you can see clearly pessimistic about the ability of democracy to bring peace to the middle east well i do think that the middle east is not the sort of place where democracy is going to assist peace falls. i mean it is a very important fact that the. the mayster peace of this group amongst the palestinians won the elections in gaza run they won the elections in gaza because more of the population of gaza agreed there. was going on but it and the with that of their opponents and i think that. i mean israel will anyway. within the jewish population i mean there has been
2:43 pm
a democracy since it became a state but it hasn't become much more specific as a result of being a democracy and it's. started off in a very bad place and. it's not a to me it can get back from that position but it is clear to me that democracy is irrelevant that's a general thank you very much. closer is the same i think is all it needed to see if a real treat this the world needs to turn a robin should the rich be taxed more for the benefit of everyone else and what kind of.
2:44 pm
something. going on. this is street still keeps its secrets but now it's time to move feel. the soviet songs and. disarming saddam hussein. charge of iraqi citizens. disappeared for. as further assurance at the torture chambers and the secret police are gone forever.
2:45 pm
flag flies again over our embassy in kabul. generous to once occupied afghanistan. now occupy sales at guantanamo bay. in a manner. that is appropriate today in accordance as but just we came in with feet to be able to. face lab studies class if you can should do nothing so that it shocks them especially if it gets slower but you don't actually break any bones. interrogation techniques that we use in day to phone tom are approved but the senior leadership of our government. we have nothing to. transfer so.

i'll stay with the bill when it says got through to the group stages of the europa league after outperforming the north this is six one over all at one course if watch them move up in the ranks in lot of the cup. this is expected says one of the great sage all the europa league army men defeated the north this is from a six one on aggregate and second action ciphers turned out to be how much tougher a pair for the russians as started to great chances right from the get go the separate team created at least six opportunities in the first half while the russian defense clearly outclassed on earth the seeds so no mail after the first half security heat certainly affected the speed of the game successfully managed to keep the ball in the midfield for the most part of the game but there was no sign of giving up for a north of days as the team continued to create opportunities for city striker scimitar coffer managed to capitalise on one of those opportunities as he opened the score for the cypriots in the seventy fifth minute however managed to equalise
2:54 pm
through their new comer say do and should in international markets this puts a scots who want to just a minute before the end of the match so says clearly the stronger team in the sky and head coach on our faces admits that as well into what to see him but it was the toughest side we have played against as i said in moscow this is a team that deserves to be in the champions league however and of those who didn't allow it to display their full potential today as we try to control the ball throughout the match and try to always play in the attack. as much as we want to focus on the game and here and play with a serious added to i think the score in the first leg affected the quality of our play the players energy increased only after we conceded a goal which. will know their group stage opponents on friday when the draw will be held in switzerland but for now the team is leading cyprus to prepare for their next premier league match against a law called for an artsy cyprus moving away from.

any wrongdoing though. i spoke to the prosecutor and i think it's playing into everything i said over there questioners i have nothing else to say and gulf news phil mickelson is a step away from becoming the world's top ranking golfer and can do just that at the barclays this week but despite the recent struggles of number one tiger woods make us and sounds he expects nothing but the best from his longtime rival. i expect him to play well every week so it's more surprising to me when he has a week that isn't up to his usual expectations but. regardless of what what what's gone on recently i just expect him to play well just because he's he is who he is. and finally the man's basketball world championships kick off on saturday with two thousand and seven the euro champions russia considered clear underdogs this time around let's say mr voc has a premium. that. david is clearly happy russia's paper asians for
