i'm out here with r t here's a look at the top stories of the week while fighting continues around libya reports of heavy gunfire in the capital are dismissed by the government as simply program celebration. first in the oil rich arab world sans shock waves through the u.s. economy as a protest see fuel prices soaring. hillary clinton throws down the gauntlet to the u.s. media took up its game against other countries international media outlets including our team. many britons prepares

a boycott of the approaching nationwide census outsourced to tata versal us for all over fears all your personal info might end up overseas. well as events continue to unfold in the arab world r t so he spoke to middle east expert and head of russia's foreign affairs committee helmer gelf a lawmaker says it's a crucial time for the air war old as it searches for a new identity. called regular thank you very much for being with us today live now from the latest news would you describe the events in libya as a revolution or has it turned into a civil war already well my feeling is that it's more and more. look like it's like

a civil war. any revolution can turn into an civil war if it does not solve all the problems of the regime change overnight it happened in russia after one thousand nine hundred seventeen revolution it was happening in several countries so there is nothing strange how likely is the un us intervention in libya will i suspect that today when america is involved in two very difficult wars in islamic world against him and iraq. the decision to get into another war in spite of either it is short or long will be serious damage for the image of president obama i don't think for him for domestic consumption so to speak it will be a wise decision but we do hear hillary clinton coming out and saying that they need assistance that's help if people ask for assistance that means that the

international community should consider that that request but when the leader of the in syrian government former minister minister of interior where he is says that people of libya are really can solve the problems which they face in libya themselves. well i think that. well even if no one asks for assistance or why should be given assistance i think that for a libyan government it's very important to show that it is able to deliver and of course there is a lot of bloodshed in libya but it seems like people who are against gadhafi regime are ready to forsake reforms but somebody that is obviously a political living corpse who is more likely to replace and and with that personally to have the u.s. presence. well i think that first of all. with what is happening now in the

arab world. in tunisia in egypt in libya and other countries we can probably predict who's going to be the leaders. neither the united states nor russia neither european union nor league of arab states were ready to. predict that such chain of revolutions may happen in the arab world and we do not know much about the opposition leaders because many of them are not traditional political leaders so many of them just emerged right commuters on the streets during the fights and i think that in libya we shall soon anything from groups have to be. the end of the buffer you're a little some tribal leaders we face an elite leaders from the north which will see some people who are in exile of war and that there will be a very strange cocktail of interests and spheres of influence so to speak and those

who will be coming back from the u.s. will be bringing with them some american only is those who will be coming from the desert will come with nomadic. civilization and heritage and so on so i think that we cannot say who's going to be the new leader who's going to be the new president the u.s. was quick to action when it came to inserting what barack but when you think about it this foreign governments are the ones who crop this regime's why do they give up on them so easily well my feeling is that in case of mubarak the kind of. feeling are. so to speak i will say that. very politically correct way now legere are ver infusing as well barack ice i thought at first in summer when i was in cairo. when mubarak refused to say that he

is not going to be the candidate for the forthcoming presidential elections and his son gamal will take the lead it did not happen and for many western ambassadors and kiran in cairo it has become very clear that mubarak is becoming a kind of a leading duck so i have a feeling that a losing confidence in mubarak and the west started and some a last year up like you said through senate unprecedented wave of social uprisings across the arab world where do this countries go from now can they handle the situation on their own well i think that first of all we see. that the new generation the new generation in the arab world which is tired of ruling regimes which they did not elect. people who are in power in most of our country's political interest but not in twenty years and for those who is about

twenty or thirty it's very difficult to say why do they have the right to have those rulers. so their philosophy their way of thinking of their understanding and of their search of identity is something which emerges within the arab societies and you could hardly impose any ideology on them you can hardly impose democracy or western standards you can hardly impose the sheer rule of the iranian standard or even the turkish mode or i think that. the discussion within the arab world with the future of the arab world is only startlingly and i think that as a as a former historian i can say that something say something similar was happening in the air world in the nineteenth century when the massive uprising against the ottoman empire were shaking the arab arab world now we are we will see another great arab revolution but many fear that the u.s.

will try to impose their model of democracy or their understanding of democracy on those countries and when that defeat the whole purpose of this social uprisings really take away the chance of ever establishing a real democracy well you know we had several cases several examples or so to speak w d p words of mistreatment practice of imposing democracy as an arab world by france and the european union for example in the eighty's in algeria when free and fair elections led to the victory are ready kl islamists and army had to take power we all saw the results are free and fair transparent elections in palestine with hamas. none and everybody was very unhappy in the west so if you just come with the with the motor with the modal with the cliche air to an undeveloped archaic society r vers the arab world today you will not see the results which you want to sing so i think that of course there will be

a lot of advisors there will be many consultants who will be trying to educate. and you are leaders about western modals but i think that the arab world will produce its own knowledge of democracy very soon what you've said here about america are far more concerned about oil and gas supplies in northern africa and in the middle east and there with human rights and democracy can you back up that claim well it's in its usual. clannish between values and interests of course there are values of human rights rule of law and democracy which are universal for the whole europe including russia for the united states of america but there are interests and no one has forgotten the concept of our war s b r we're bad guys so to speak and if the leader can provide american security

interests and if the so that leader can provide a russian or a west european economic interests his support what kind of impact with a seventy region where does this for example leave israel well israel is. in in any kind of permanent astonishment so to speak and i was on the phone later well earlier this morning with the israeli ambassador in them there in moscow and i asked her what's going on. and she said they got of a joke she said well we are always to blame of course israel is not to blame israel is not behind all those revolutions and it's impossible even you know to imagine. in such a situation but for israel what is happening in the air world is a very serious challenge for its security and because more or less they had a stable relations with president mubarak with the king of jordan with some are the other arab nations like love like you and qatar for example but the day israel has

to monitor the situation very intensively well you said obviously israel is not behind it or allusions t.v. that anyone else is behind them inside inside it from the outside world i do not believe in the in the global plots against russia nor against the arab world are all these changes of the emerge within the societies and even if the reason. someone very clever i would say the arab world who wants to predict the situation he will not be able to do that and what would this mean for iran right now. for iran to my mind it's very important time after the over throw of the regime of saddam hussein iran has become of the strongest nation in the greater middle east and islamic world after that this position was challenged by changing views of got to be demanded that it wants to be the strongest nation at least in

the sun or in the greater middle east as well and now iran is seeing that some arab countries after the change of the regimes after the morning they see in this country is going to say no we are arab leaders we are leaders of his nomic world and they think that there will be a very serious dispute in islamic world as a whole lotta will including iran to the arab states but also including pakistan malaysia indonesia and india which is which has the biggest muslim population in asia and your opinion when the dust settles what power shift look like where you sit down in it for sentimental rest. well there will be elections i don't think that is nomic radicals will again majority during these elections in none of those countries we shall see coalition governments and we shall see the.

search of identity and massive search of a density in is in islamic world as we see it in their big but i mean that so you don't think forest over concentrate in one country and no not at all not at all it's a patchwork how miraculous thank you very much for this thank you so much in the. that's become normal names and logo is to me oh creation of the globe the food system the global food system is not created to feed the people of the world is created to maximize the profits. sure not trading the actual physical grain or trading promises for grain to be delivered a month or six months or twelve months or eighteen months in the future. for
