sweden accusations of hypocrisy how the u.k. how it was those facing a far more serious charges. plus it's a race for the hearts and minds of all the lympics fans as russians are set to choose the mascot for the two thousand and fourteen winter games in. my colleague bill bought a beer and half an hour's time coming up there it's the president of russia's institute of the middle east he'll be helping to shed some light on the turmoil in that region and north africa and effectively it have on the rest of the world spotlight is next.

hello again and welcome to spotlight the interview show an r.c. i'll bring up and today we're talking about the iranian turmoil after a relatively peaceful change of power into a nation popular unrest started spreading over the arab world the long standing the regime in egypt fell after weeks of bloodshed the regime of gadhafi is fighting violently to keep power in libya what's behind these riots and what may the changing regimes mean for the rest of the world let's start here here in the south the last time the president of the institute of the middle east. after forty years in power libyan dictator colonel gadhafi is very close to defeat the military machine launched against his own people has left hundreds dead yet the demonstrators are standing firm the libyan revolt is part of the unrest which rippled through north africa and the middle east in russia the leadership is

worried the chaos in the arab world could become per tile ground for terrorists prime minister putin says that if islamists get more of a foothold in the region they will easily be able to reach the caucasus in russia's south. home is the circle of skin the welcome to the show thank you for being with this first question is what do you think are the fundamental reasons this properly because it's not as easy as al qaida started it or washington less reminded her well there are different answer or something question somebody think that maybe this all was commissioned of united states or maybe he's real somebody say year. through radical islamists i'm going to see a brother a muslim a movement somebody something or another are the real answer every boarding

and doing something against their reboarding this world sometimes the situation is so bad. of the it's the summarizing of or this for us events such stable regimes us in tunisia egypt or some super us there were as we can so before but may be not soup in libya are united states and europeans democratize their regions different from one person known to draw. all this was a system which try find jobs for people. reason for the nation after collapse of the soviet union that's what all the world against georgia and russia and china and india and the muslim regimes in this calm its

place in this concrete its agree that the revolutions or than the brothers mausam whole dicking it's a work and work and work really hard against the women regimes in egypt for example if you give me a couple of more specific questions libya is there for history or does he have me to to to cling to power. i have no chance no trials well i'm not sure that anybody in libya will forget this situation when libyans were killed by people from africa or people from tunisia is somebody who when you start bormann your own capital and some other settlers you're not malodorous the mistake was not the mistake for code birth was the principle ideal of these men which means it's not the leader of revolution he's a dictator amount for all the leader who can have his own people but he still he still is there what's his support base who supports him. he's still the year

because. he have some small resources but even his truck not top was for the conductor there are some a leaders for his clan her evenings or he is not supported by any board even iran's school not ruin his regime like they try build this against siege of the touch credit. card and the brothers muslim check out of the we think of production must be killed because of all this blood on the streets of libyan cities what's it for regime have some resource any regime would be saddam hussein regime of cheney's regime will remember to turn on main. square. or iranian regime if we say by the ahmadinejad and the green revolution which also

lost president but it was very religious what happened in iran. years ago we remember it yes but it's had a very very strong religious for the what's happening in the middle middle east carol despite the muslim brotherhood it's not religious at all or maybe i'm mistaken you're mistaken in both cases because in iran we have no situation when the first and second generation there told us and their children were pushed the generals saw the military service looted by our initial and how many support their slake nine hundred thirty seven the greek or or in our own country in stalin time also well they are tours and also it's my third prowlers absolute the same in libya the situation is not so clear because up to my view step by step. two years later five years later ten years later maybe twenty five the brothers

moves we'll take power in their hands you sure and maps a little bit about the restoration of one rocky because the the royal family of living here they live in london and they say they're ready to come back to you. know is what with all the years for some period maybe although there was such a discussion about the afghanistan but we remember what was in the air with the taliban movement and was postell about also some religious and literatures groups in college and was army maybe incarnation was local tribal leaders maybe in college and was more maybe but step by step they'll move to islam is the action of all this and then we'll have the situation what will happen over the last week several hundred russian being taken home from the turbulence situation in libya spotlights in the media has more in. the uprising in libya his caring to google ideas to build the arab several hundred. billion. and over four

thousand injured in the first week of violence and one more could guffey permits trooper's of life for those trying to work through his regime he reportedly ordered the army to use this strikes against the demonstrators something we did nice though several european countries including russia have sent special planes to the troubled north african country to bring this citizens back home most three are there shooting here but it's dangerous to go out after five pm in some places they have even been bombings. it was a risk getting to the airport because after it's already curfew i was lucky that a friend of mine one of the locals agreed to take me to be airport to go to the beach when it all began you know the city thing really scared you i don't know where it is a civil war some clans playing is it when you sit at home and he machine guns shoot you that's really scary but who most all of the people who they did had to leave

their jobs behind and so they were hoping for a peaceful solution to the conflict and an opportunity to go back we'd be has been open to russian investment since two thousand and eight when prime minister putin visited the country where the delegation of businessman and several deals were struck. to russian all giants have been working in a country like nafta and grasp room the russian real ways company you are the big project in libya for building a high speed drill we're doing there was due to be finished in two thousand and twelve taken a promotes birth has built more than six hundred kilometers of electricity transmission facilities in the country now the future of the russian projects in libya is under question. well this actually was a good question give guinea do you think russia and officer western countries will they keep the rate of contracts that they got under the regime really you will see . we have so many conflicts in iraq before the iranian revolution i have so many

contacts with europeans before the russian revolution and then as i understand well more sensually i would normalize our relations with europe. i'm not sure that all believe as long arm three major center great yesterday because some people went when a part of the country is at the revolutionary control the other product entry is still under his control it may if we are fall apart you think it's possible everything is possible in this world look at iraq look at afghanistan are no more countries. there are territories where the farm only one got a look at sudan which has been officially formally not one state and that's not the end look at africa troubles me is also the african country and the african borders will change dramatically so so you think we live in a period of disintegration we live in interesting times like cheney's see god help

you not lead an interesting time we live in times of change and we say if. you give me some kind of scheme is the spotlight today and just a reminder that we're talking about the situation in the middle east again supply is the president of the institute for middle east based here in los spotlight will be back after we take a short break we'll continue this interview in the studio in less than a minute so stay with their. place. well into the. period in

a blizzard of winter blues get to slow sin try out some ten snowshoes got a little caliber excitement in its southern melting. trainers to keep you in top form and watch you walk on the goal line carving the trail to sochi twenty four to one technology update here on our we've got the future covered. close up to us dangerfield protean republish. center of russian defense production . now was he heads to central russia. country crops of become an industry. the harsh winter makes pollution even more enjoyable. and west everyone can train to be a stomach. if the other small fish. russia close up on the hot seat.

would be soon which rises if you knew about sums from funniest impressionists. least from the stunts on t.v. don't come. visit. welcome back to spotlight our hour of in just a reminder that my guest in the studio today is eve guinea's sutton asking president of the institute for the middle east and we are talking about the situation in northern africa in libya where the revolution is there now and also in other countries that have been

a places after popular unrest of trim of old maid become such places in the near future but first i want to ask you if guinea what may be the consequences of the a libyan revolution for the world markets for the gas market because kentucky says he'll be he'll be switching artillery shelling down the pipelines europe is also all reacting already by a rise unprecedented rise in prices will this continue. there's hope and god help us it's not here to nigeria. which maybe is possible in this case the european market will rule well and guess from the northern africa is so important for france for for spain. most dangerous to tell and balance off a common around twenty percent of oil italy have from

a little bit more than that's not only can i look at. things in the nearest future hundreds of thousands of people can come from tunisia and libya to the territory of european countries what will europeans doing with this well let's hear what prime minister putin had to say about the rising oil prices. we're all nothing good will come out of it so we're very serious because we're not interested in. energy prices growing without limit everything is interrelated and unlike other in producing countries are economies more diversified and we're actually emphasizing in the v. to be destroyed is how can we deal with those but we hope that this will not happen but we like to see that all our projects i mean infrastructure

projects to deliver our hydrocarbons see to europe should the european market even the north stream south stream are especially important. just situation would not be as recent for europe category had these two projects already working. well the prime minister of russia speaking in brussels seemed concerned about the situation well he many would think he should have been glad because russia is a big oil and gas producing country well. it is still despite the concerns of mr putin is it still good news for russia in the short run can russia exploit the situation to confer its reputation as their as a reliable partner. those. of us who give us some possibilities sometimes every word of crisis in every possibility of we have.

general troubles on the security with the middle east problems on all of them caucus and muslim terrorists that's very dangerous for russia not only the structures we have hundreds and hundreds of radicals who can back from us harvard university or maybe in future from the london mosque was from pakistan and all tried estable are severe in our own church we have for all these gaps in our barger where the real we i mean is the electricity and things and sounds and sights and so on the mood to belong contracts will be ruling libya in other countries maybe and there's a good new we have some possibility for our greed on the world market prices for oil and gas this is the balance of use there is nothing good and bad there is something we should we maybe can use for a barge above the limit of negative. is so. well. you already said you give me that you think that we are witnessing

a time of. this integration and islam is asian of the arab world in north africa worked in there for the time being what kind of regimes will replace the following dictatorships in these countries what would you say to them washington brass all things that will disarm less than style democratical regimes. and so on but to my mind it will be a type of all the regimes was agreed in the level of political islam islam was upgraded in serious. all of trucking you autumn and are of the with of google and there of the gun and the round based not on the ideas of islamic revolution but on the ideas of what she passing in part of the new nationalist empire like we look lebannon in syria in my return air.

long distance from the iranian borders for the decay of the whole arab world and maybe the whole united nation for posts only on the israel a police training room and these are all arab. that is the minimum million more room on for the whole region this is practically nothing for who can be millions and millions of refugees we have now on sudan and afghanistan and for iraq it's million refugees was nobody give the status of wreckage so it's not our if the arab world itself and the world community not understand what's in the region and will not work with the normalization situation insult and this will be only the beginning and libya will be not the last of this long or wheat in list of the revolutionary situations what regina's could be next to for the train yemen

maybe saudi arabia maybe even jordan we're simply ration is a very very unstable saudi arabia. is on the list and if that will be so the small markets of the gulf oil leak in huge danger are look at old jr civil war the war all government bio the efforts of president put a fleet but there is a creator of margaret there are some other countries there is experience of people into an easy leave the ship are that's a very dangerous situation and if it will be something on something serious on the libyan level and assure that can america will be such stable as that now practically the whole world from america to up to start from somewhere we wish just now is destroyed to be a russian border is under attack of the revolutionary deals it's like it was in europe after one thousand nine hundred seventeen we're there of new monarchies and

new republics on the whole europe which was stable for troubled you give me russia gave the world an example that. the revolution was in very traditional societies don't necessarily lead to modernization of the society any social modernization well the. do you think that what we're witnessing in the arab world which is a very traditional society will it really lead to modernization to what americans call democracy u.i. for new attitudes or will it would be just a change of elite you know will be a change of really in the middle east the democratization mean the rules of the group or destroy the small groups that's not the rules of minorities democracy that's not the rules of the process of democracy a look at iraq this is the example of what i mean by good position in the traditional arab world even in the more them and secular state works letting all

the there with all these serious democratic centralism. radicalism of all types islamism of all types the corruption of all clubs new once again for same but on small sub one percent on his play is this the blues ition big block millions of refugees first of all religion minorities and intellectuals that is the result of such type revolutions you're remarkable men you you you agreed to talk about the future so i'll be continuing asking you questions about the future what do you think will be further prove the revealing ideology after the for the dictatorship ordered this plan maybe late in the cherokee liberalism nation or is socialism welcoming mansion the center will be slung over the type of socialism there are worlds french the type of nationalism the

secular. the next generations will have no success but it'll be islam more than a liberal political radical revolutionary terrorist style break while some barbarian type of salamis and all i can tell. movement. margaret hall knows different corners will have different possibilities i'm not sure there will be some qualified local programmers. different countries different nations bots it will trouble tannen trouble place for the do you think al qaeda will will be able to capitalize on these events are going on one hundred percent then the question is the whole karl rove's brand of let's corporation which is dead central lines it's not one tired political movement in different countries and different areas in margaret mushnick

there are different leaders and of course this know so are islamic radicals who will take everything they can from their city will as we see even kill their thievin a strong like a lefty is not able to to. stay in power in case of such wild rattle and rest so the only thing as it seems to me is for the oil rich the city's in their world to try to surveil roof or of themselves how they capable of reforming themselves where they are doomed hundred percent it's possible it is then a question of time in our conference and in here time they have planned what the only thing we have in this planet is time. three generations i meet him around seventy five eighty years and the reason will be more a less normal all better than not thank you thank you very much for being with us and just a reminder that my guest on the show today was give gainey set i now see the

president of the institute of the middle east and that's it for now from all of us here if you want to have your sales spotlight just drop the lock who will be back with more first time comments on the what's going on in and outside of russia until then they are artsy and taking place of. her. sat. down with the official anti allocation johnny phone the i pod touch from the i.q. jumps to. life on the good. video on demand on cheese minefield comes. an r.s.s. feed now in the palm of your. on the
