the roll call is going to be featured. on his reaction towards the popular uprising . given all the big interests at stake in the region there is no more democracy chanting going on in washington there have been a few statements from u.s. officials calling for leaders of libya bahrain and others in turmoil to show restraint in hadley handling the protests and that's about it no more of that epic coverage of that mock democracy in making the kind of thing something that we saw a little more than a week ago when obama delivered all these passionate speeches on people of egypt making their voice heard and embracing democracy there is no more of that now with the exception of iran of course the u.s. has to or anything that's against the iranian leadership but the situation in some other countries seems to have spiraled out of control with egypt analysts say it was easier and safer for the u.s. to root for democracy and support the people because there is the army there which is very powerful and is largely financed by the united states and is now in control of egypt but in other countries in libya for example the u.s.

doesn't have that same leverage so they are much more cautious calling for democracy in those countries i spoke to some experts here they say washington's biggest fear is that those uprisings in the region could bring about leaders who will be hostile to the united states and many analysts and only say for the u.s. it's not really about supporting democracy in those countries it's about securing their interests just two months ago secretary of state hillary clinton pronounced herself very impressed by the progress that bahrain is making on all fronts she said that's quote there seems to be a strong. broadly held commitment to democracy. that was that was before pro-democracy demonstrators filled the streets and the government responded with deadly force it leave you to experts say the u.s. would so much rather have things as they were off he was never their favorite leader that's what for about some seven years ago he reached to open up a leave us all which is to the west and to let them invest in oil production so they kind of left him a little but now. protests spreading like while wildfires across the region the

u.s. seems to to have little control over what's going to happen next year as the region becomes increasingly unstable or the price of oil spiked on global markets it is now at its highest level since before the two thousand and eight financial crisis libya where protests are much more violent than they were in egypt or anywhere else now has the richest proven oil reserves in africa it is the twelfth largest oil exporter in the world and it's reckless to disrupt supplies i mean all these protests not only that but there are questions as to who will control the suez canal a major oil shipping lane americans have their fleet in bahrain to patrol the canal and keep an eye on iran but bahrain is now in deep crisis and nobody knows what's going to happen so the u.s. might be losing control there experts say if the unrest continues and the crude oil prices continue throwing as they are now the u.s. is going to be hit really badly especially now that it's struggling to climb out of recession there are there are reports that a number of western oil corporations might temporarily gain from this spike in oil

prices but the political unrest in the region makes it all too unpredictable what is going to can reporting for us there from washington d.c. historian marco says he's confident of morna key in saudi arabia will be ousted and he told me this will have a destructive effect on the global economy for a long time of the west. and she. promised that she were i would if the troll in places which americans don't really have a handle on from should we look to see the possible spark of. their new democratic bill to say when we have to pay to tar you turned a blind eye why should you produce for us trying to put our roads back on the beach which is going to cost you the regular costs the economic problems you must know has already you simply something of the worst recession. major you pose a proposing more financial assistance to north african countries

a bit the wave of results of revolts in the region but his financial guru of most causes says the union doesn't have the money to help its own members alone nations outside the blow they can print more money but as they print money it drives the cost of food on the futures market precious metals higher other just exacerbating the problem because they have no actual physical cash they just print fear out debt which makes the price of food go higher so the first thing the e.u. could do is shut up and not do a thing because they're just making the situation worse they they they're completely corrupt they have absolutely no ability to assist whatsoever because they have no money and they keep printing fake money which is driving the price of food higher which is causing more revolution. to laughlin from the institute of democracy and cooperation in paris says the u.s. is not going to surrender its position in the middle east. in the case of egypt and as in the case of the other countries the interest of the united states is to

preserve is to present the appearance of change while maintaining political control that is what the americans are about revolution serves to legitimize a continuation of of the status quo effectively the american double standards in the middle east are so breathtaking that. one doesn't really know what to say i mean let's start with the most obvious example saudi arabia the biggest strongest richest ally of the united states in the middle east except for israel it's saudi arabia now saudi arabia doesn't even profess democracy it doesn't have a single ounce of democracy in its constitution or in its political practice and yet that country is always cited as the as you know as the americans great solo which of course that is the american simply turned a blind eye blind eye to the nature of the regime there but there is another aspect to these double standards which is important to mention and that is the flirtation

with the forces of islam it's important to understand as we discuss the relationship between authoritarian regimes often military backed in the middle east on the one hand and the forces of political islam on the other it's important to understand that the americans are capable of playing both sides of that game. american military strategist into story never look back says the people may want change in the middle east but the foundations for democracy is not yet said democracy is not something you can buy in a shop it takes centuries of development to go to democracy but this stage of your religion is much more meaning for democracy and to have democracy have to have real respect for human rights. and personal individual rights. you have to say if somebody wants to go where they had coverage should be covered now not and sunset

or but. they're not there. and there's more common to the debate show cross-talk two bit later in the day to day host people guess why the countries of the middle east spend so much on the military and how the us justifies its big business in the region. states to me in part are somewhat comparable to a singapore of switzerland their small populations they want people to know they have weapons system they basically want to be left alone saudi arabia does have some incursions into yemen and is using it charnock it purchased from the us in other states so i don't want to sure about that but nine or so where one can all of course discuss the problem there but to say that they're not using it at all i think it would be a question. if . it were the top news stories of the day to radio was ships that pass through egypt soon as

canal on tuesday it will be the first time a rainy naval vessels have sailed those waters since the country's nine hundred seventy nine islamic revolution they have been judah went to the canal on monday but the passages been delayed the ships are heading to syria for a training mission of israel and the u.s. have expressed strong concern over the move so you know escalates already high tensions in the region artie's policy is following developments for us in television and. there's many prime minister benjamin netanyahu says that he views with at most gravity the passing of these two even you know warships through the suez canal to the mediterranean sea he says that it's really an attempt by tel rand to take advantage of the current situation to exploited and to extend its regional influence we also heard 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 has released. relations are strained israel convinced an israeli official saying as much over the past few years that iran is supplying weapons to syria that ultimately land in the hands of his beloved in lebanon now 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 farsi 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 one thousand nine hundred seventy nine since the iranian revolution there 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 were 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 is nothing suspicious on board and as a result they have allowed there for gate on the supply ship to go through. the program here are still heard. say that dog is a man's best friend but of course if you're blind guide dog is so much more than just companionship here we've got a story of a man who wants to take care of his purchase to shubin taking care of my story coming. jewish communities devoted compensation from the government for property stolen by the masses during the second world war but many believe the case is likely to be rejected in a country where s.s. forces as he was liberated from soviet occupation of his people all of

a report from the baltic states. 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 on the side of nazi germany of view today so really. unfortunately many believe the lothian waffen s.s. who fought against the bolsheviks were liberators there for 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 their 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 of the lottery and administration is not responsible for democracy of doing the holocaust began our country was under our education 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 attitude in latvia while they wish as we need to be broken to solve social problems like develop education culture etc as maintainer synagogues and cemeteries of course it's hard to find ours when you need to take back certain property but i hope people will understand that 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 worshipers 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 the government continues to draw most of its support from nationalist organizations a resolution for this conflict seems a long way off peter oliver r.t. riga latvia. let's take a minute and i will see what's online for you to night first of all about discover why a twenty million dollar figure low in the self russian tycoon boris berezovsky has been seized in france got back story this feud r t dot com. and the spy in the sky former russian agent and a child when what she doing now want to tell you she's turning your attention to the war with plans to add some glamour to the country space industry quite that how that will turn out i don't know you can find out more dot com.
