father fled the country made logging on last continues to spread further through the pretend with protest in yemen bahrain rocko regional expert adrian that that global dominance her time home while. they might be getting rid of of thirty forty or fifty euro regime but many of these countries certainly in egypt certainly in libya certainly in tunisia and back ring that might be getting themselves into just as bad or even worse trouble if they don't really understand the social proof so this is going on and we our full interests that may be driving them from outside of the middle east because i think this ties into a more global pattern where we have to understand the major geopolitical long term planning emanating from such organizations as the council on foreign relations the trilateral commission and the bluebird group who afford to take the cake it's been fighting the arab world and have been fighting the sovereign nation state as an

institution on a global basis so in a way if they can get rid of these strong mad men whether it be hosni mubarak in egypt or colonel gadhafi in libya and try to transition has always seen before to a more rural chaotic and more controllable western style democracy that would serve in a privilege to serve i think we have to be very careful about the various readings that we make of this is very important that both the pro protesters on the one side and the government. in egypt whether it be in libya whether it be in a back rain or in tunisia should understand powerful social forces they are up against the psychological warfare tactics that are being used and they should not allow themselves either side to be used by interested objectives which are completely outside the interest of libya because all the egyptians or we are tunisians or the iraqis or just about any country that is having such turmoil in the middle east the president. in other news from the middle east two iranian

warships were delayed entry into suez canal this comes after israel and the uighurs expressed strong concerns over the dispatch of first terror brandes navy earlier egyptian officials check the cargo about. to pass the class which was attacked by israeli minister he called for the world to act against iran reoccurring provocation. following developments in a television. there's many prime minister benjamin netanyahu says that he views with most gravity the posturing of these two iranian warships through the suez canal to the mediterranean sea he says that it's really an attempt to take advantage of the current situation to exploited and to extend its regional influence we also heard today from the israeli foreign minister avigdor lieberman and he says that this is nothing short of provocation israel and iran have not had diplomatic relations for the past thirty years and israel is concerned that iran is

sending weapons to its neighbors that will ultimately be used against the jewish state is really soon relations are strained as well convinced an israeli official saying as much over the past few years that iran is supplying weapons to syria that ultimately land up in the hands of his but. not the united states is adding fuel to the whole situation the u.s. state department recently set up a twitter account and it is using their twitter account to post tweets in flossy that supports anti iranian government demonstrators out on the streets of tehran we haven't seen the u.s. state department do anything like that supporting or even expressing any kind of opinion on the same kind of demonstrations that are happening in yemen since nine hundred seventy nine since the iranian revolution they have been no iranian warships that have actually passed through the suez canal this is the first major diplomatic headache for the egyptian interim government for the ruling military council as you well know. president mubarak had

a close relationship with the united states he was an ally of the u.s. and at the same time relations between him and the rand was strained for the past thirty years it is not clear exactly why they gave permission we haven't had any insight on that but what we have been told reported is that it took in officials have checked the cargo they are confident that there was nothing suspicious on board and as a result they have allowed this gate on the supply ship to go through. but coming up next hour and cross talk peter the valen his gas discussed why countries in the middle east spend so much money on the military and how the u.s. justifies its big business in the region saudi and the g.c.c. states to me in part are somewhat comparable to what singapore switzerland they're small populations they want people to know they have weapons system basically want to be left alone saudi arabia does have some incursions into yemen and he's using it charnock it purchased from the u.s. and other states so i don't want to about that but not a missile or one could of course discuss the problem or but to say that they're not

using it at all i think it would be a question. if you. watched the is divided over claims that the countries do should be compensated for the property that the second world war many including the government say the contre was fighting against also that occupation at any cost necessary but jews claim that was just a pretext to steal from their families peter all over discover. thousands of law being jews were robbed of their property money and in many cases their lives by nazi treats one of the major issues is how much in which on the side of nazi germany of today so really. unfortunately many believe the lothian waffen s.s. who fought against the bolsheviks were liberators after

a while but they in fact were bandits and robbers they have seen documents listing real estate that belong to jews killed in ghettos i think that property should be returned the amount of reparations claimed by latvian jews is around sixty five million dollars the country's government says that they will continue to hold talks with religious leaders in order to come up with a solution however those in power draw their support from nationalist groups who are far less diplomatic when it comes to the issue. lottery and administration is not responsible for the night you're doing on the holocaust began our country was under occupation by definition lightly and i thought at least cannot be responsible for actions of occupants local jewish leaders say that they only want what was stolen to be returned however they realize that this may be difficult with current attitudes in latvia while they wish as we need to broker to solve our social problems and they would like developed education culture if it meant say no synagogues and cemeteries of course it's hard to find hours when you need to take

back certain property but i hope people will understand and justice will be done a short distance from the capital is the forest where thousands of jews were executed it serves as a poignant memorial to those who lost their lives but in central riga there are equally chilling monuments to the holocaust like this synagogue which was burned to the ground with worshippers still inside over sixty five years after the end of the second world war the burnt out shell of this synagogue serves as a reminder to the tensions that still bubble between the local jewish community and those latvians that consider the s.s. troops to have been heroes while while the government continues to draw most of its support from nationalist organizations a resolution to this conflict seems a long way off peter oliver r.t. riga latvia. still much more ahead for you this hour including the having price for
