just. 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 leave you have 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 democracy 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 if you ran of course the u.s. history or anything that's against the ukrainian leadership but the situation in some other countries has 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 you know 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 op risings in the region could bring about leaders who will be hostile to the united states and many alice actually 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 the 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 two acts were say the u.s. would so much rather have things as they were could offer he was never their favorite leader that's what for about some seven years ago he reached to open up a levy is all which is to the west and to let them invest in oil production so they kind of left him a little but now with protest spreading like wire wildfires across the region the u.s. seems to have. little control over what's going to happen next as the region becomes

increasingly unstable or the price of oil spikes 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 as the richest proven oil reserves in africa it is the twelve 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 keep flowing 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.

historian mark colvin is confident the monarchy in saudi arabia will be ousted we told me this will have a destructive effect on the global economy for a long time the west would have to see and. if you were there i could. control it in places which americans through her head will. look and see the possible oracularly because you knew what the democrats are going to say when we have to pay if you are to try to wash. cars for us trying to. she's going to cost you your cost the family you know what problems you are already you seem to something worse. major e.u. powers proposing more financial assistance to north african countries amid the wave of revolts in the region but also these financial guru must cause this is the union doesn't have the money to help its own members let alone nations outside the block

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'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 i spoke to is the director of mideast projects at george mason university told me the use of it would save the libyan dictator from being toppled. that mistake he did is he drew experience of what happened in tunisia and in egypt and he thought that they didn't use enough force and he thought if i crack down with more force and kill more people then i have more chance of

succeeding and what we see is the exact opposite he's only making it faster for him to end up leaving power the u.s. has been taken a week sent through the whole process of from tunisia to egypt now to bahrain which it's almost been silent on to libya and it's been taken that we stand because it's afraid that the fall of the regime in libya will create more revolt and other arab countries we've seen because of tunisia few more rebels and because of egypt and many more have been protesting in other arab countries and assumption is if libya falls then in new countries that we haven't been expecting to have protests will also start protesting but they're also looking at the short term of their interest and they look and oil and libya's a very important oil exporter and so this will and will in the short term affect the sale prices of oil in the united states. go into american military strategist in the store in edward look where he says the people may want change the middle east but the foundations for democracy is not yet established. democracy is not

something you come by in a shop it takes centuries of development to go to democracy but this stage of development 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 you have somebody wants to go with the head cover that should be covered if not now in science of the world but they're not there. to look at so summary of the day's top stories now into iranian warships sort of pass through egypt sewers canal on choose day it will be the first time a rainier naval vessels have sailed through those waters since the country's nine hundred seventy nine islamic revolution they had been due to enter the canal on monday but the passage has been delayed the ships are heading to syria for a training mission israel and the u.s. have expressed concern over the move saying it escalates already high tensions in

and in many cases their lives by nazi troops one of the major issues is how the flute on the side of nazi germany a view today so. unfortunately many believe the lothian waffen s.s. who fought against the bolsheviks were liberators 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. lottery and administration is not responsible for the night you 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 procure to solve our social problems and we will like develop education culture maintain our 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 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 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. on our home page or to go home tonight discover why a twenty million dollar fleet of yobs belonging to the russian tycoon got as far as the off screen has been seized in france we got a back story there online tonight want to find. the body of the scar now a former russian agent and a chat with what she doing now you as well since she's turning our attention to the government or plans to add some glamour to come from space industry again when i'm over that one it's called. the dar economic situation in the united states has created a youth unemployment bomb with millions of graduates failing to find jobs to start

skills and agree to any job are now for over three hundred thousand waiters and over eighteen thousand. parking lot attendants working in the us are said to have a college degree moreover the u.s. bureau of labor statistics suggests as many as seventeen million americans with college degrees are forced to work jobs requiring less skills than a bachelor's degree provides raising an entire generation of janitors with ph d.'s as we have an ever higher percentage of kids in college and ever higher percentage of kids graduating at the same time as ever more kompany are hiring fewer people so what better time to question whether education really is the best investment fed with america's traditional promise of a dream life after college what students aren't told however is that the cash and time they are investing is going to come back to bite them. at twenty two charles

but as they say a dog is for life and despite the large cost of the operation alexei was determined to find a solution. i don't like to think about how much it cost me i took extra work and saved my pension for surgery it was worth it you do all day when you're bored we have to stop the inflammation and then remove the islands from the dog severely damaged i the surgery was successful in the dogs now able to see again. in a country with a very quarter of a million blind and visually impaired the number of guide dogs available is way fairly inadequates this training center in the outskirts and more scale is one of only relatively few and the only one that's government funded there up to eighty dogs being chained here in the center at the moment now the training of the dogs typically starts in there between ten months and two years old and many of the puppies are bred in the center itself but the school's in a catch twenty situation it will receive further government funding to increase the

numbers trained until demand is higher but the demand remains low as many simply can't afford the expense of keeping a parent and in a country struggling to adequately provide for the blind guy don't compete in valuable as a lex a well known these producers. like a member of the family which is always in the same room as me i'm one. they say the dog is a man's best friend but of course if you're blind a guide dog is so much more than just companionship it's a chance to mobilize is so to really get your life back and that's why it's so important the more guys like this are trained up. next believe that the u.s. border wars and pressed by emerging powers love to rethink its role in world furrows but norwegian socialist your goal time has gone one step further by predicting the fall of the us empire in the very near future.

archie sitting down with professor johan galtung an internationally recognized founder of peace studies and author of more than one hundred fifty books his most recent book is titled the fall of the u.s. empire and then what. professor galton thank you very much for sitting down arkie

today my pleasure he said and twenty twenty the u.s. empire will come crumbling down that leaves nine years according to your prediction what will happen between now and twenty twenty the really slow release stop making wars. having not been that a success for me there will be a draw there basis but if the english did onesies to a serious hundred fifty of them according to some account they will discover negotiation and twisting and threatening they may discover quit the trade trade for mutual and he could benefit that this is not enough for a good trade agreement that the willing buyer meets willing sellers and sign something to look at the effects down in the pit that made the top of those today mids may also imply. imply quite a lot of americans may be suffering what do you believe will happen that will cause

us leaders to decide to and the ongoing wars in afghanistan and iraq and to put the draw their bases in iraq is not at all turning out their way they hope. to me the same will happen in yemen and somalia a number of other countries where the covert operations somebody will come to the conclusion that enough is enough that conclusion may not be drawn publicly what do you think's going to happen within the next five years or so between israel and iran i think the logic has changed the last two weeks of the tunis. has been running the game according to the prophet chapter two to five inspire you by deterred one through can they. really really make peace between the bedouin tribes and when we have done that they. missed. swords into plowshares and the last part of this quote this is

politics same this except through what they have tried to do by trying to somehow buy up one way or the other to theirs jeems in the neighboring countries right now this is challenged. us president barack obama campaigning two years ago. and when you sign when the presidential election did you think you this can their children american anyway didn't believe him or did you think the system was too strong personally that it was obvious secondly didn't know foreign politics didn't have i.d.'s birdwatcher gross impressed me more was that the major find the answer was goldman sachs. and american jews for obama or some organization in chicago that stood up but the narrative points were expected him to be very appropriate threaten. the moment you go on that line you see you have tied up

a lot of your foreign policy. the tribute to other countries current thinking problems then starting with tunisia you know have six seven eight the coming by the way in the world that you can leave behind disregard the people who voted for you david and he can use and we mean and blacks and hispanics and youth and all kinds of groups seriously as i'm hoping for something new to happen with republicans so three republicans but a single little thing and instead of operating by presidential directive which he could to a much larger extent tried to make a compromise with the republicans who watering down but they would he proposed and in addition having them vote against him do you think president obama will win a second term i don't think you know i think so i don't think so if he won as a black maybe the next one would be able. pale and i don't underestimate is there

anything that americans every day americans could do tween now and twenty twenty to prevent the what you call the upcoming fall of the us empire i don't think that's decided inside the u.s. it's decided to. let me just clarify that but. one simple sentence what is going to happen to afghanistan this not the side of the abortion in my view it's this side of an axis between a stumble and beijing. turkey. russia. china. increasing irrelevance or three. hundred elementis washing into vietnam after they lost the war and pulled out their sea it's the political defeat that this morning poured in from the military one of the year delegates so having said that the faith of the usa but he's decided on the outside
