but you know what you know so toby and so much her toes are going to kill durable she turns under my toes. in serbia booties available in most one hundred we can see they are going to. welcome back here with our team here's a look at the top stories fighting for control of key cities intensifies in libya but the media is being blamed for making it look much worse than it is stoking the conflict just to get striking headlines. as could all these foreign cash goes under a lot in p. experts warn of the legacy of using frozen assets as a long term political tool. and young people at it will you look to inject fresh blood into the country's leadership but some fear it could mean leaning to the nationalistic far right. when i start over nandi is joined by two leading world

affairs academics to ask well the future holds for troubled media and its neighbors and why foreign nations need to keep out. stephen cohen it's really good to have you back. under who also good to see you again so stephen has come out with a new book out it's called the victims return survivors of the cool life. that's coming out in london next week but we'll still need to talk about what's going on in the middle east because some shake news coming out and now it's being seriously discussed u.n. and u.s. could intervene into libya do you think are we seeing a cause over iraq here i think it's very different than iraq i think iraq was

a moment when the united states in the name of democracy to form democracy by bringing democracy at the tip of a bayonet or with bombs and i think we're seeing the ripple effects of iraq in the region. i'm opposed to u.s. intervention i wish the united nations had more capacity to end violence and bloodshed in countries like libya but i think for the u.s. to intervene. would be dangerous because the countries in the region themselves it seems to me as we saw in egypt people in those countries need to take control of their own justinian and i have not followed libyan politics carefully but i think we're at a tipping point in that country with the forces arrayed against gadhafi will oust him in the next sure yeah i do think so you're seeing that so the u.s. would create a backlash in the region that could harm the possibility of future democracy in that very unstable and important region being ordered there was still more and more

united states or agreement or in so many countries and worked. very were only worked out for. katrina makes the point american intervention. discredits the alternative to the tyranny of its throne because it appears the pride was overthrown with the backing of the united states forces in favor of domestic democracy or we've seen. any additions what we're witnessing in egypt and. it's not clear who these are pro-democracy movements share these are and. they're spotting words they want to get rid of the dictator or getting rid of a dictator we don't want any country doesn't mean it's a certain thing to marcos and that's a process and these countries will be very difficult when there's no longer a democratic culture american intervention would make her one of the point. if

intervention is necessary it should be to correct the reaction of the united nations and this might not be a bad word because of the united nations was created in an effort and maintaining peace and to act or fear or acts of war and violence against local populations so you're going to be intervention i think people who care about the future of these countries should insist that this is what i think at the united nations not in the white house and not at russell's or any barrio you know how decisions are made or is there really matter well but part of the problem in the countries we're watching in the middle east now is that the institutions of democracy have been so guarded and attacked over the last decades by the despots and power that it will take generations to build those institutions but in the same way the u.s. relationship with these countries has been so heavily dependent on military and national security relations that it has distorted our relations and so we talk

a good game in the united states of support for democracy but we've really been supporting stability in support of oil or in support of other measures so i think we need a new national security. policy or new thinking to use a term that was popular in this country in order to develop a relationship that would emphasize economic development which is going to be critical because so many of the protests in the region have to do with economic despair and joblessness and i think support for civic governance not the meddling but just actual changing relationship so it's away from military it's a more civil political you look at the situation generally look at lessons very throwing for what's going on right now in the arab world well i think the lesson is that you're witnessing people who've been suppressed and repressed for decades who are disgusted and fed up with the cronyism the corruption the suppression of not necessarily democracy put people's ability to lead their own

lives and in anger about the joblessness but i do think the corruption the sense that these leaders were willing to put in their own sons and his family despotism has led to something we rarely see in this world we saw we saw some of it in one nine hundred eighty nine in this part of the world but it's people rising up and seeking their own destiny it's never as simple as that but i do think that that's what we begin with and from there it will get very complicated i think in america i don't know about your country but there is a sense all you know democracy has no regime change is barely come these dictators have been ousted and what follows will be a measure of international support of non meddling of countries ability to come together and find the resources i come back again to economic development i really think that's going to be critical in this region because you have millions of young people and that's how it started in tunisia it's like new

dominoes the young man who couldn't get a license and who was discussed by the corruption and lived in self up on fire and suddenly you. people witnessing this and then finally you had the ability to communicate the social networks are not to be treated lightly people were able to see if you could get rid of a dictator in one country it could happen part of the problem in the united states where we just come from is that a lot of the lessons being drawn in the media or the wrong course or interests you know there's a long history and innocent and that would be a long journey maybe it's the first step but it's a long journey as for mr second because of the revolution as a historian. react badly to the generalization in egypt for example when the market of the regime is still there the military regime to govern the country that's not a revolution it's regime change at the moment it's a leader change i don't know what's going to happen in there because in tunisia it

still be a change we misuse the word revolution when we talk about it yes but so there is a lot of misperception and in the other thing that's the warm question in the united states i think is that the united states should do something were to shepherd you know the support of shepherd like a former guide says flock of sheep or is cattle the idea of a good night and straight as to shepherd mix countries is of course russia very always ends badly these countries will make it over or they won't make it at all the united states doesn't understand the situation but there is a danger of a political involvement here and god which would be which i mean there are two things that have arisen in the united states in the last few days one is of course the renewal of democracy promotion this idea that america has the right or the wisdom to impose democracy in other countries and you see a lot of this in the commentary president obama should bring democracy to egypt to bring democracy to tunisia that's not our role we need to get our own act together

inside our country but also of course there's a concern that there will be more terrorist threats and danger in the. reachin the feeling yes that the instability will fuel terrorist threats well you could argue the opposite that the repression of the possibility of democracy in these countries has given fuel. terrorists who have been mean have been angry and enraged over these last decades by the u.s. occupation and presence in these countries it's a very tricky time i'm not even talking about the role of israel in the region in the united states there's a president lives israel and iran also well iran i think is in an interesting position because there's iran has become again as it was because of the failed iraq war more powerful in the region and i think or oil and other factors may make it even more powerful with israel in the united states you have a strong support for israel and

a concern that it will lose allies the fact that you had the board because its main israel's main ally has caused many supporters of israel concerned i think you will see a region which is not going to be empty israeli will not be as willing to support agreements that have been so inconsistent with the human rights of palestinians and so inconsistent with the rights of other countries arab countries and in the region but there is great concern among those who feel israel be threatened by the changes two years ago obama sought to reset relations with russia but humans are there to talk about so far world your achievements are going you can see there's nothing we speak in a more quiet voice to mature or from countries there is more cooperation in afghanistan there was in the view the. operational one of the right and i think it was an allusion achievement of course is the start treaty and agreement to reduce nuclear

weapons or i've just written a long manuscript about this and i think we should we should use not only the cream we would want it's very unstable because of the. underlying disagreements are created really a new cold war. on rumi there's no fundamental agreement on the really being issues for example why was the reset even necessary why wasn't there a strategic partnership after the storm or the strategic partnership to grab a child for your grandfather created with reagan and bush that was lost after one hundred ninety one. the united states blames putin but that's not a fairer explanation there is no agreement on the part certainly nato expansion is clearly a big thing is the biggest something foreign between america and russia it's even bigger than people understand and i will tell you why our president may be out of it's russia as a tiger from a sphere of privileged interests in the former soviet republics security or as he

was in the political or we say no we do united states not we say no because no countries are allowed to have a sphere of influence anymore it's an evil what is the expansion of nato it's an expansion of the american sphere of influence abashed expansion into the territory that used to be the sphere of influence of soviet russia so moscow says to washington why don't you get this for us and in our backyard and we get none this is the big geo political conflict of our time and there will be no reset who are now there is a solution but nobody is prepared to put it forward in the united states but it's still this progress so are. there going to be no partnership and nobody said look you know steve space is a scholar of russia in the soviet union but he doesn't speak about the enormous opposition even this modest reset has confronted in the united states you had again a republican party which for decades has supported bipartisan arms control treaties

and how many republicans did you finally get seven i think at the most so the reset is modest i agree with steve's analysis of the ongoing problems but the fact that it's. under fire in america is a failure of both the c.e.o. of this hall it takes a leadership this is one area where presidents on both side an enormous power and foreign policy with gorbachev and reagan were opposed by their own parties but they overcame it and made yet it is being attacked in moscow from the reset obama there but this is where leadership is required but don't forget these guys inherited this problem of nato expansion obama didn't expand nato he did not he inherited this problem it has to be resolved and he grew the worse by the day remember the united states is still saying that georgia should become a member of nato and saakashvili is saying yes we want to and the united states is even saying that ukraine crane should become a member of nato even though ukraine says it's not interested now these are

fundamental conflicts and we already had one more or less in georgia and there could be another country and if i know who all stephen cohen thank you very much for this interview. in the czech republic she's available in the hotel this morning central otoh prim a very nice and most of the stuff i used to which i am a taste in bosnia and herzegovina cheese available in. the children of each who told you because you know what you know so told peter so much photos you have enough. votes no ties. in serbia multis available in the hyatt regency they are going to.

fighting for control of key cities intensifies in libya but the media is being blamed for making it look much worse than it is stoking the conflict just to get striking headlines. as could obvious foreign cash goes under a whopping he asked for it's one of the legacy of using frozen assets as a long term political tool. and young people in italy look to inject fresh blood into the country's leadership put some fear it could mean leaning to the nationalistic far right. although the latest sports news well then he joins us now in the studio. as the same old story russian cobol set of waiting again near the new season starts next weekend at the defending the champions are looking good

right. now point skiing lindsey vonn had quite a time to remember in italy the american skier winning her third title and has many days with picture in the world cup c.p.g. the twenty six year old already secured a super combined and downhill crown but the hunger to win carried over into the final day she called just over one minute and twenty one seconds to compare it to the man in second best friend and she probably arrived to grab the final spot on the podium to make it to the two american so three titles in as many days to get down olympic gold medalist lindsey. maria matt meanwhile once again proved he's a force to be reckoned with in the men's slowly off being better but it could be as he got the full two full cup victory of his career and a highly charged match of great days young but he's plunged suffering a gate and getting disqualified from the event as he tried to get the better of the cost of the correlation though also committing the same mistake as his french fry

will leaving the door open for a match in the thirty one year old took full advantage of the british during last front axle. a note in casper tied for second place followed by andrea my. irish is athletes finished off the european championships in style in paris three more goals for them on the final day as they finish top of the medals table up and coming directly she claimed the long jump title deeds and portugal's not gold most played just one centimeter game is no longer a triumph on the track when eight hundred meters and that was followed by victory in this week's four by four hundred meter reader so in total there were six goals russia we claimed fifteen medals home nation france came in second all germany managed to with a total of ten is going. to tennis now russia's davis cup campaign came to an abrupt end following their shock the feet away to sweden this weekend but there

hundred however fisher was the faster of the blocks taking the first set six to charlie level matters when the second on a tie break and he went on to wrap it up. next up to france to germany to a became croatia village patients beaten to evade politics in the deciding fifth rather play next by the usa the americans with easy win is against chile argentina face fast rising has a standstill in the czech republic great result for their boss we can beat russia a really intriguing tie we're told in serbia. pascall kevin durant was far from a shooting best but the oklahoma city thunder still edged the phoenix suns in overtime for their third win on the trot it was a back can for faction oklahoma vince carter time again for this is with nine seconds to go to make it one hundred nine all durant's with a chance to reach the win but oklahoma city but he missed the buzzer beaten sure it looks regret the granting record of the season i asked him to be faulty and it was

even worse because a top speed of the suns mislaid a couple of all important free throws in overtime well steve nash also missed a last last three points in the hopes one hundred ninety to one hundred sixty. now also in the states let's catch up with the latest winner on the p.g.a. tour south africa's rory sabbatini holding on to win the honda classic in florida i say holding on because he was chased hard by south korean why a young seventeen with five shots ahead of the field at the start of the day began singing with a bat that was just a shot behind come the sixteenth after that magnificent tee shot and still within a shot by the last the sweet effort here setting up birdie however seventeen did manage to keep his nerve to putting on the last state law provides for a week. in other news that the cricket world cup england will be without passing

kevin pietersen for the rest of the tournament he needs a new operation after his side's thrilling victory over south africa england winning by just six runs in the end but that they didn't start well for them but in first captain andrew strauss laughed with the ball and kevin pietersen followed just three balls later. impel also went on the rubble and decided to bring recruits with just three runs sixty will probably go into everything from a study to see for all of the standard ninety nine but the one where all that one hundred seventy one in south africa must've fancy their chances however broad took four wickets but this this thing runs thing as you now live there in a forty two in the finale for south africa takes twelve runs in the last twenty two because i'm a big boy so i went with victory. was a huge huge game for us you know after the ireland game we really need to come out and show some character and we definitely need to do that. as much of the

bat as you like but firstly guys that are very deep in the field in the light of the bowlers are playing on the pump to them to come out and share what they can do . you know george well the research on him and if we can get both the batting and bowling right in one go then going to be outside to be. and in the other game on sunday india got a five week when the new fresh saying with a great round performance playing five wickets and hitting a half century as india finished on two hundred ten for five the forty six i was in reply to ireland after two hundred seventy four lads. and i'm a bit of motor sport as the seven time defending ronnie champion sebastian love his balance back from his slow start to the world rally season the frenchman winning in mexico for the fifth straight time loads citron teammate sebastian all get top time sheets going into the final day but he crashed out on the first of the three
