not a sign he could not dissolve parliament and he could not meet the constitution not some question marks which point mr david cameron wants for me to establish a no fly zone over libya has been rejected by many an international community among its once they say it gives them selves to determine their fate and the future is now we have in london was to go ahead and close this messiah so it would be stage missiles to shoot down its oft that's over now there are coming to the british troops deployed in the us and they are all being with the humanitarian situation and they're going to be used to take over that chemical weapon stockpiles in the city just one state it is fearful that he doesn't see stockpiles against his own people will secure consummation of both egypt and america that to you is still true this is going on in the minutes maybe it's not far from libya so there are concerns of a civil american intervention in addition to

a possible my colleague in london or in it looks at what some intervention would mean for libya and we do not in any way rule out the use of military assets we must not tolerate this regime using military force against its own people is this history repeating itself the british government getting the guns on standby as a country crumbles to impose a no fly zone in this case libya in two thousand and three it was iraq it's looking very dangerous those looking quite possible that they will launch such an attack with or without u.n. approval so we're looking at almost a repeat of what happened in iraq and indeed the results spectrally largely the same but not every country's getting that treatment and libya is not the only african nation in turmoil somalia's drawn out conflict is being called a slow genocide but there. little sign of u.s.

or european military inputs and it's a similar story on the other side of the continent there are events unfolding right now in ivory coast where there is also a conflict an armed conflict between rebels and the government but nobody seems to be thinking of that it's only because fashionable attention is focused on libya but also for the political implications of the middle east as a whole as we all know the west including my own country britain has got its hands very dirty with the libyan leadership over recent years. with black gold and libya has the largest proven oil reserves in africa more than three percent of the global toso and there could be a lot more undiscovered the only reason they're interested in. your oil here anybody screaming and yelling about all those people last week there were killed in the ivory coast. i guess cocoa wasn't that you know much of a national priority but in somalia there was precious little help while the body

count rose over the years except for one brief but disastrous intervention involving u.s. soldiers immortalized in the movie black hawk down american forces failed at great cost to stabilize the country they know quickly and haven't returned and the lessons were learned when it came to iraq which remains of the staple even now with only feeble sheets of that much vaunted democracy allied troops are equally bogged down in afghanistan with no convincing timeline for withdrawal and an ever rising death toll should be clear to an idiot but the mess that's been made in afghanistan the terrible disaster that was caused in iraq really shouldn't be visited on any more countries in the middle east it's a model today's troubled african nations won't want to impose their puppet government which is still ruling by virtue of american military occupation of iraq really that is not the current of help. revolution is through the middle east need

and american and european government shouldn't look for backing or whom either up to a million marched in london for the invasion of iraq in two thousand and three and times have changed this is now austerity britain where starting another war wasn't factored into the budget british troops are already fighting an unpopular war in afghanistan it's highly unlikely the public has the appetite for again getting involved in someone else's struggle battling as they are at home in the face of deep cuts and rising unemployment and it's unlikely to be popular in sight this building the ministry of defense has to slash spending by more than seven and a half billion dollars in the next four years it's an intervention britain would find hard to afford on many levels your and its artsy. political expert money during a snow similar told me the foreign powers of already launched a military component libya mirroring events leading to the two thousand and three

iraq invasion. foreign intervention can only exasperate the problem in libya it cannot help in any way and as a matter of fact foreign intervention has already begun the french the united states and the british have already sent so-called humanitarian aid to benghazi but they've also sent military advisors and special forces this means that your operations have already begun we are seeing a similar scenario of what happened to iraq we're seeing talks about sanctions false reports that have been used to justify the no fly zones about aerial strikes on protesters and civilians this is the deed zakk same scenario as iraq in fact they're starting to talk about chemical weapons in libya it was in two thousand and three that the united states and britain want to fight gadhafi as someone who gave up his weapons of mass destruction now they're doing an about face in claiming that colonel gadhafi has chemical weapons no this is another book the man they're

creating to justify their foreign policy in regards to libya in fact it's very ironic that the united states called on protesters in egypt and the regime to talk things out but in libya we have a whole different story because of oil interest or black gold as some may call it. but he knows them royal they are political experts talking to us from ottawa a bit earlier on now still to come in the program america's foreign policy goes under the microscope. any future's defense secretary who advises the president to again send a big american land army into asia. or into the middle east or africa. should have his head examined find out what else sue is congressman had to say about the country's actions and why some accuse the government of double standard.

new delhi befalling a meeting near the indian parliament. the changes sweep through the middle east and north africa u.s. secretary of state hillary clinton has called for changes in u.s. foreign policy desperate to influence the emerging political map the future of american involvement abroad is now at the top of the government's agenda christine takes a look at the changing face of washington's priorities. first. afghanistan iraq egypt. libya. when it comes to u.s. foreign policy this country's hands are not just for their often tied secretary of state hillary clinton charged with the task of laying out the plan for the future generations of americans including my own have grown up successful and safe because we chose to lead the world in tackling the greatest challenges but now clear signs that the challenges and the times are changing but

a lot of people in this country have come to the conclusion that our policy overhaul has been inconsistent that sometimes we support the bad guys and the bad guys become our enemy. twenty eleven has been a major year with major shifts in prominence and power in northern africa and the middle east. and signs that us will influence may be waning just days before the regime of egyptian president hosni mubarak fell both secretary clinton and cia director leon panetta called it stable until it was. both occurring there are also in consistencies on the war in afghanistan in afghanistan integrated military and civilian surges have helped set the stage for our diplomatic surge to support afghan led reconciliation that could end the conflict and put al qaeda on the run but robert want kansas senior u.n.

official just said quote it is fair to say that security in the country is at its lowest point since the departure of the taliban even secretary of defense robert gates said this just last week to a group of cadets at west point but in my opinion any future's defense secretary who advises the president to again send a big american land army into asia. or into the middle east or africa. should have his head examined as general macarthur so delicately put it there is also the matter of money u.s. own economy weak and losing leverage to other powers like china and brazil another frustration voiced by lawmakers doesn't make any sense at all for us to be borrowing money from china and give it to other countries especially giving it back to china. now when it comes to iran there is a clear position given by the state department the denial of human dignity in iran

is an outrage that deserves the condemnation of all who speak out for freedom and justice but in many other regions like behind rain albania and most prominently iraq where many many more people are killed at the hands of u.s. allied governments the silence is deafening. and as the landscape changes daily in libya cracks in the foundation here grow deeper we must maintain firm ties with our allies and enemies must be clearly identified it is a constantly changing position on good versus evil and increasingly diminishing power to influence what's next in washington christine for is now r.t. . the last leader of the us. britain his eightieth birthday and he's been awarded with russia's highest honor by president dmitri medvedev of the order of st andrew medal for his work as the soviet leader for many people his name synonymous with

the end of the cold war the reunification of germany of germany and liberalism but with his economic and political reforms he paved the way for democracy in russia his best known policy to revamp the country without destroying the basis of socialism is initiatives also led to the constellation of state censorship and the creation of free speech which often did receive the nobel peace prize in one nine hundred ninety year later vo a costar of the chain of events which led to the. of the soviet union and departure its critics say he plunged the country into a destructive and chaotic reform the effects of which are still being felt today the former leader still says russia was in desperate need of change. but look what he said we realized from experience that it was dangerous to wait much longer that we had to take a risk but we couldn't postpone it we needed changes i don't agree when people say that perestroika failed it didn't fail it was disrupted railed stopped but still

perestroika achieved a lot inside russia we had democracy free elections freedom of conscience private property freedom to travel abroad everything. there was so much openness the entire country was affected people realized they had finally got some freedom an opportunity to act in foreign affairs we put an end to the cold war we normalized our relationship with the u.s. we reunited germany we didn't send our tanks our troops there all our units in eastern europe stayed where they were you know wasn't always easy many things did not work out the way we planned at the beginning when we made our first mistakes we didn't really explain to people what was going on and didn't get them involved in all those processes we were self-confident lord but in public politics i don't think we have ever lost a major battle nuclear arsenals were significantly reduced thanks to our efforts during perestroika today when the world is so divided we need to find things that

bring us together for instance the g. twenty is a step which brings us closer it's an instrument a mechanism for handling the hardest and most challenging issues but we need more than that it's a matter of learning to live in a global world. and just a reminder you can see the full interview with mikhail gorbachev in about ten minutes time here on our team don't miss our debate show cross-talk next hour either their house painted. discuss gorbachev's legacy what to. say. now doctors in russia are developing a pioneering alternative treatment to heart transplants and with a shortage of organ donations in the country the techniques giving hope to thousands of people waiting surgery on lists i was on a boy has got the story it's a smile that comes straight from the heart that asher almost died from heart failure two decades ago but these are visits a cardiology ward for regular check out. look at her she's just

a picture of health by now she's been living with a new heart longer than with her own. doctor and the miscarriages operate on natasha twenty one years ago when a donor organ was here only hope for a live one of the best known cardiac surgeons in russia he performed hundreds of lifesaving transplants but still thinks of the thousands he couldn't do because of the shortage of donor organs now these he's pioneering any technique that gives some patients on the analyst waiting list a more definite hold on. a heart transplant is not a panacea firstly the supply of donor organs is so short that you can only help a smattering of patients secondly it brings with it a number of complications starting with ethical dilemmas to biological functions that's why finding an alternative treatment that will allow to preserve a host organ is so crucial. the treatment brockport remodeling consists of seven

surgeries that together reverse the damage to a broken heart russian doctor started performing it two years ago and its long term effectiveness is still being tested yet for some like these patients not to it already proved a real life changer few when i was first diagnosed doctors told me i had a year to leave now and i have all the reasons to hope that i'll see my little daughter grow up i was told that i may still need a heart transplant in the future but the surgery was that day four years of. there's just eighteen serious risk carried out this procedure is far from being routine yet this successful recovery of all the patients has already given to many on the transplant waiting list a change of heart reconstructive surgery has many advantages that were heart transplant patients don't have to change or an agonizing and probably garrincha we don't know the chances of successful recovery higher but like heart transplants

this procedure has been one major setback the gap between those who need it and those who get it is to disheartening the huge. arts and most call. that are. going to clicks right now well calling for a new free world russia pushing for other nuclear nations to start their own arms reduction programs to the story of interest check out our. moscow disneyland as well as nice headline the capitals famous goalkeeper getting a bit of a facelift billions of dollars apparently with. a project . to sort out.
