see what you are going to live from moscow these are the top stories of the week as well as the latest news international pressure and girl gadhafi to stop the great doubt of these people mounted when the u.n. imposing sanctions on the confrontation between and to and fro regime forces plunges the country deeper into bloodshed and chaos. also in this week's top stories your fear is turmoil in the arab world will lead to a surge in uncontrolled immigration from the region with italy's the first to feel the effects of an influx of refugees. plus as the u.k. for those enjoying the sunshine must be extradited to sweden over sex crime

allegations the week of the spouter says it's a step towards his prosecution in the u.s. . and three of a kind a trio of characters are chosen as mascots for the sochi twenty fourteen winter olympics after the results allied to the vote across russia. now with spiraling middle east on rest to draining wars in afghanistan and iraq and ongoing financial slung american policy makers are facing a glut of pressing problems are they spoke to a grand scowcroft former u.s. national security advisor about the challenges ahead for the country. mr scowcroft thank you very much for joining i'll see you belong to the school of foreign policy realists that's what they say for they say and you're republican with a korean stretching across five american express ministrations so we'd like to discuss

several foreign policy issues with you and your view what are the consequences for the u.s. middle east policy after the toppling of the barak in egypt and ben ali in tunisia you know one is always caught off guard by revolutions. because there are a surprise if there were a surprise to president ben ali and to president mubarak it's hardly unusual it would be a surprise to the united states. the instabilities in the region are of course obvious and have been for a long time the question is can they be handled can it be dealt with in any thoughtful sensible way or does it have to involve. unrest and violence. i think. we have to wait and see so far the egyptian crisis has been managed traffic quite route through trade army. very

well lever repressing the demonstrations nor. its changes coming to the region but that was that was inevitable as the old leaders passed from the seeds so i think we need to be careful but i'm not committing fundamentally fundamentally our policy should change in our policy is the development of open societies cooperatives nurse and progression of development for all the countries of the region and i thought was pretty tough. iraq president obama has started withdrawing troops from iraq once all the forces including security personnel leave the country in your view is there a danger of iraq slipping back into the civil war i think iraq is in or is in or prepare precarious state there are still in fact forming

a government months after an election to do so there are sharp divisions inside the country. and it's hard to say exactly how they develop i would be more comfortable. with a somewhat longer american presence so that they would be more inclined to solve their problems by discourse rather than strength but we'll have to wait and see but you don't think that. the danger is there oh i think the danger is there i think there are still still many forces tending to pull the country aside indeed one of the reasons for the strength of the dictatorship was to hold the country together but i am hopeful that the people will see the benefits of compromising their differences rather than insist

upon them and and destroying the state do you think that the nato mission in afghanistan is doomed just like the british failed in the nineteenth century in the soviet union just twenty years ago no i don't think so because i think we are the united states is. for a different reason which is not to control afghanistan but to make sure that there are other terrorist bad don't use afghanistan as a base from which to attack us you anybody else so yeah our our goal is much more limited and i think they're for. one can have more optimism and one did in a previous occupants of afghanistan you yourself i think have been saying that the term war on terror. was dies down

a compromise it has indeed been compromised how does that marry with the you know with the terrorism threat that is not going anywhere on. terrorism threat is one thing a war is another and terrorism is a technique of combat it is not you can't make war on a technique so. i think war on carer's was designed to motivate people for a maximum effort terrorist something that we all have to deal with and are going to have to for a long period of time it's in part a product of the modern age like television like radio people are now politicized by issues that they didn't care much for because they didn't know about and so i think it's a long term struggle against extremists who want to destroy

a civilization that they can't cope with it seems that there is no progress in stopping the iranian nuclear program in your view what are the chances that the united states may resort to the military option i think there is still the possibility to avoid a confrontation. i think iran is a case that relative related to the reason that i'm here and that is cooperation between the united states and russia on the whole nuclear fuel cycle. iran has every right. to have nuclear power that does not have the right to build nuclear weapons and i think. the extent to which we can cooperate to induce iran to take the

opportunities that are available and that is nuclear fuel for russia return the nuclear fuel not insist on enriching its own. or doing things like that and i wouldn't rule out that. that we would be successful how much is you know is this the opinion shared in the united states i don't think i'm alone i'm not sure but i don't think there's any eagerness. to deal with iran by force and i think the extent the increasing degree of cooperation between the united states or russia on this issue will have a big impact. on iran and what it just rushed to do but there is also quite strong mood within the government of israel and sort of you know they support an attack on iran well israel has what it considers an

existential problem with iran but i think if we can deal with the nuclear problem. then israel will be reassured by that what is your assessment has the recent withdraw and asked by the obama administration two years ago brought any serious results if not what could be the reasons i was a little disappointed for a year or so i am now encouraged i think now that we're beginning on a much more positive course. both sides have ratified the new start treaty and that is its mission a major step forward in terms of renewing a quantity of sense the. nuclear cooperation agreement the long twenty three agreement recall is now in force and i think the the the warmth between the two and the progress we've made together with respect to iran

for example and i think even on afghanistan there is a sense that we pull the we have a common problem a common of the export of. part of her one so all of those things. are leading and i feel good about the reset now why were you disappointed then did you feel that those two little happening yes yes i thought that i thought the language of reset was good but but there didn't seem to be much follow through for a time and now it just took time to catch more but now i feel very good about since you've already mentioned starts what is its political impact on the u.s. russia relations i think what it really does is that is continue the framework that we've built up really over fifty years of how to talk and how to deal. with the very nuclear issues that if it

continues that process and now we can look at ways we still possess over ninety percent of the world's nuclear weapons so we need to work together to ensure that those weapons are never never need be you. and that is to increase the stability of the nuclear bomb so whatever the problem between the store is no incentive. to use and then i think now the way it's clear for us to sit down and have that kind of scares there's still there's so many nuclear weapons out there but it's not just a matter of numbers it's doing the kinds of things that ensure those weapons are never going to be used and that take that'll take a lot more discussion lugosi ation thoughtfulness on both sides. but i'm sure we can make progress now that we've laid the groundwork mr scowcroft thank you very much for this interview you're very welcome.
