as the science fails to agree on intellectual property rights. that's it for me more news in an hour's time.

wealthy british soil it's time to retire the money. markets why not. find out what's really happening to the global economy is a report on our. welcome back you're with our team here's a look at the top stories a tidal wave of illegal immigration promises to drown your of as uprising is in

north africa and the middle east thousands flood italian shores anybody has also threatened to lead refugees pouring into the continent. western nations are debating a multi-billion dollar aid package for the region hit by revolts to promote democratic and economic transformation but manny argued quit playing cards in europe and the u.s. means the money is desperately needed elsewhere. and in other news ukraine's positive patients accuse the health ministry of banking on their illness as hundreds of thousands are forced to fight for their lives they blame high level corruption and mismanagement for the lack of vital drugs. let's get more insight into the continuing unrest across the arab world in his recent article published in the wall street journal edward luttwak a writer and u.s. military strategist said that the removal of egypt's hosni mubarak would lead to either autarky or islamists coming to power r.t.

spoke to him to get more insight that's in our interview that's coming up next. what thank you very much for being with us today who do you think pulled the rug from under mubarak and who is pulling the strings right now well it's pulling the strings and nobody's putting in the streets because this is a crowd action the crowd this is the popular insurrection it's not the revolution it's not the coup it's not some clever criminal who takes three tanks and takes two piles this is a real popular insurrection which is people are living under a government for one year and ten years and twenty years and thirty years and they all get it because of an incident something happened in this case of as you know it

didn't happen in egypt it happened to me when one person was pushed around burnt themselves there was a crowd and they overthrew to me so this is the true popular uprising quite a special event there was some very interesting to observe how the united states turned their back on what barack and i couldn't quite quickly because they were allied absolute yes i know but the american government is always in a state of embarrassment when it's free it's not democracy so the united states. has always to manage the contradictions on the one hand we are normal american people we'd like friends that we don't like and on the other we also. want democracy we talk to michael see so when you become a for the united states and you're not the market you're in the difficult question

because in. because there was talk of the iraq regime so it's always been about clothing in the americas of course on the one hand mubarak is a friend. on the other he's implicate so once the people get up the rule is this if you open fire. there was so long as you don't shoot the americans can be had from you once you tell the police to shoot. the iranians shoot the syrians should but if america is your patron you can go ok well earlier this month you wrote in wall street journal if mubarak leaves now there is all this likely to be in an article or islamist egypt or some of both until another dictatorship emerges you still seeking to see action yes i do i do in the region is that democracy is not something you come by in a show it takes centuries of development to get to by christian for example the

last stage well into iraq remove saddam hussein. and what happened is not that the iraqis became the region or sweets they remain do they are so therefore it took enormous difficulty to form a. religious by our democracy. half working ok. and you cannot create you cannot jump ahead i believe that the conditions of democracy are in places like that on the other hand you the states cannot be supplying weapons to a dictator who shoots his own people you cannot do it politically is not possible because as a us president you cannot go to congress with the money but well also if you look

at what's going on right now starting from tunis it's a chain reaction. social at ground zero he said popular popular uprisings right and if they do not dictatorship they do not want to know what they want to yet they do not have a leader who to follow no you don't need that leader to have a democracy what you do need is to have respect for political rights. instead of democratization in our schools quite possible this legislation i mean if i look at these numbers they should integrate treated in iraq because they have islamic government if you go to today half the people in the drinking whiskey not because they like to speak just to give it to their god. so islamisation is increasing in egypt the way this preacher base fanatics. went to cairo one million people came to this because at this stage of development religion is

much more meaningful than democracy and to have democracy have to have a real respect for human rights and personal individual. but let me tell you the middle east lost its appeal already with the cold war and it's even less important today it generates a lot of headlines but the real politics now is here possibly headed. to china that's where world politics is it's not the middle east is just pictures television pictures of people shouting but this is what this is what's going on there is nothing there's nothing good. these you don't buy a country that don't really produce a. dog if they don't develop something. then not import some of them have or that's. the center of world politics is completely different to that do i understand correctly that you believe the hero is

most likely to suffer the most out of this. and wait for frank arrest already already started last week my prediction in the wall street journal is they paid the price if you look at the article the first boats arriving from tunisia people who just want to entry to. the boats you know arrive in these islands they have what can produce a. little islands first in the article the refugees because of disorder upheaval tourism industries debts so right away nobody so they made immigration. and this is a big problem for illegal immigration. and of course from a business point of view with egypt much more business with europe than the states investigates was providing strategic support money to egypt but the business with europeans go on holiday. and you know if there's an islamist government there you

can forget about going to the beach so europe is much more close to tunisia and egypt the united states certainly are quite hawkish on iran to put it mildly you believe me down once a month no i don't care if they wanted well. it's not important first of all iran is not exactly a great center of technology i'm not worried because of the technology. they make wonderful don't use samples but as for the rockets they're not good for us in the nuclear program has been going on for each. year and nothing happens now the problem with the red is different because the fact that the iranian regime is in a constant state of instability they're always in the stability and they resolve the problem by external aggression so they are every. criticize.

apparently subvert the propaganda one too they are paying everyday hamas. the rockets to have them. and hamas is sending the rockets on the heads of my jewish relatives or you know i don't think that they are funding thirty million dollars. every week to hizbullah in lebanon a med be they say maybe fifty or so years by is a in effect a terrorist kind of organization as well as a political organization of course and they're actively doing terrorists. there are state supporting terrorists therefore they are disturbing element in the middle east and therefore i believe that even if their government was popular they will be . as it happens the government is unpopular but iran is still

a sore point what do you suggest could be done because what sanctions could only know people not the government sanctions are symbolic measure. but there are so few things that could be useful for example. there are measures europeans very cheap with that would really create a problem for you ram for every day rather here he's flying to italy to front for the room and with these flights bringing some refugees inside but usually government officials who are doing government based. close it goes for its would put real pressure. and make it clear so there will be leadership sanction sprog like for example we will not give a visa to anybody that there is a government official that said. you work for the government you have an. so these

would be cheap is amazing to me but i don't believe that it really works and what will work is time. will solve them because they are creating a post islamic society in. iran is the only muslim country. which is becoming less was every day every day there's a regular who says that's it i'm finished with the only thing that bothers great pride getting will be too strong the word is that we have a serious financial backing strategically this is not a threat if. we don't is this is not the cold war so this is the time for the united states to focus on domestic financial probably five years not the economy because he has to solve itself but probably find. at this moment forty three cents of every dollar spent by the u.s.

government is borrowed half of it from abroad from germany japan and china so that's not really a sustainable supply. that's big stuff now. or this middle east northeast all that comes out of the middle east is no. nothing important happens all right and look like thank you very much for this interview thank you bill. well turn to the. period in a blizzard of winter blues should get to slopes in try out some new text brushes
