hungry for the full story we've got it's. the biggest issues get the human voice ceased to face with the news makers. four thirty pm in moscow these are yards you have lives opposition reportedly offers colonel moammar gadhafi a way out of libya and made rulers of foreign military intervention any u.s. defense secretary joked that colonies close. artie's correspondent in tripoli find some massive support for gadhafi in the libyan capital contradicting international headlines that he's isolated in a post in defeat. several u.k. universities are under fire for engaging with the khadafi regime through receiving controversial cash donations. about next hour he talks with
8:31 am
a leading political analyst from the current carnegie endowment about the last eight consequences of the current turbulence in the arab world that interview coming up next. fox on the heels of the regime change in tunisia came popular protest movements throughout the region but more on the offense other events making headlines joining me that need to direct all the russia and eurasia center of the carnegie endowment and that we would john skate hello and thank you very much for joining us but it just seemed so how do you view these polish greats and the least well i think it remains to be seen how much power actually shifts what we know is that some of the longstanding authoritarian regimes in the middle east are probably going to change in some way but whether they are replaced by the very same military that has been supporting them all along whether another strongman comes into power to replace
8:32 am
mubarak in egypt for example or a good topic in libya we can't really say this point it looks like a civil war in libya and that's very difficult to predict what will happen so i think the power shift maybe is not necessarily in the works definitely in great changes and it's very difficult to predict what some speculate that the arab middle east awakening was orchestrated by washington itself what do you thoughts about that i certainly i'm not a believer in conspiracy theories i think it's fine when you listen to people who believe in these theories it makes the united states sound like the most effective global actor in history and i just frankly don't believe that that's possible what i will say is i think it is probably the case has in many changes of power throughout history that the united states and others have helped to create an environment in which you know those who are coming out on the streets in libya and egypt in tunisia you know feel that they have some international support to be
8:33 am
totally honest if you look at the slogans that those people are using they're not exactly pro western pro-american slogans there's a lot of kind of you know which are anti-americanism anti israel feeling i don't think they generally view themselves as being aligned with the american camp. they're mostly aligned with their own interests but it is probably true that the united states by talking about values like freedom and you know getting rid of authoritarianism and so on is probably helped to create an atmosphere in which they feel like at least they're not alone in the world to what extent was the u.s. courts let's buy develop. it's a good question and i think. i think there are a lot of people in washington i know a lot of people in washington who have been saying this is going to happen for a long time and that we need to be prepared for what. i don't think anybody expected it on the scale that it has happened it's almost interesting how accurate each one you know i'm going to need after egypt after libya everybody seems to say well this is it stops here you know the monarchs are safe maybe the dictators will
8:34 am
go but the canes will stay and as i said before i don't think anyone can predict this and i think this is a very fluid situation that was it's going to keep changing one other thing is said and done when the dust settles who is the biggest the we will probably o'quinn the region. translation does this help iran for example does this help you know turkey i think the answer is probably yes this is helpful to you know any regime which has managed to stay in power despite this kind of disorder in the streets. at the same time it is possible you can you can imagine a scenario where egypt for example despite having endured the transition period it is a very big paydays economically significant it is historical we're in the arab world you could imagine it coming out of this scenario actually strengthened in some ways maybe being a leader of a new block within the middle east a sort of new orientation of you know more popular democracies or just more popular
8:35 am
you know government that i could see happening could well be seen us is well poised in the region well you know israel has played a very careful and certainly it with the events in egypt they're very concerned about the durability of the peace treaty which is really essential to israel's security so that they don't have to fight on multiple fronts at once i think the united states of course is fully supportive of the back perspective there have been those who call for now being the time to reinvigorate the peace process the israeli palestinian peace process and the broader israeli arab peace process i think the unfortunate reality is that the peace process never succeeds when it is driven by urgency from the outside the peace process only succeeds when the parties. inside had that feeling of urgency that they need to make progress which is why it succeeded in the late one nine eighty s and early ninety's and then it didn't succeed in the past decade because the parties were in some sense satisfied with
8:36 am
where the situation was so i think for example if at this point you know the israelis feel safer just sort of barricaded themselves and protecting themselves it's not a time when they're going to be willing to make big sacrifices for peace and on the palestinian side you know hamas for example may feel like it's time has come now there are popular uprisings in the streets and it's time for you know if i'm a clown a man of this movement to take advantage of that so why on earth would they allow their their palestinian authority colleagues who of course are not part of my mosque but why would they allow them to negotiate they will do things to torpedo those negotiations do you think the school does the right thing to engage in talks . look i mean i can't tell the russian government what the right thing to do or not for russia would be i mean i would say from the overall perspective of the middle east situation it's useful to have somebody who is able to stop the question is of course what he stated and i think that's where you know russia and united states and israel and in particular actually i would say russia and is what i mean this is a time when you have a million plus russian speakers in israel including our bigger lieberman foreign
8:37 am
minister. they should have a much more substantial dialogue on peace process on security issues so that russia can use the influence that it has and more effectively to deliver real results that are going to benefit everyone i'm not sure we're at a point like that right now but that said you know i don't i don't see any great benefit to russia kind of closing the door on its connections in the arab world i think they're potentially released from this so we can skew written extensively on the so-called value gap in the u.s. russia relations what do you mean here well this is a term i'm not the first person to invent this time it's the idea that basically we see eye to eye with the united states and russia on many many issues economic issues sick. thirty issues i mean the list goes on nuclear security but there's often this kind of underlying problem which is we come to the same conclusions for very different reasons so russian leaders tend to for example think about
8:38 am
a sort of reality politique chess game in the world where there are spheres of influence the united states controls some things russia controls something to try to control some things you know the united states has a very different ideological approach to the very same questions of politics which is very much about well you know our country's moving towards greater freedom our countries you know prospering economically do people have freedom to participate in the market and so on and that's really a fundamentally different approach to at the end of the day very important questions for both sides and then there's also the domestic side of it which is that americans react very badly to the media coverage that they see of russia where you know people who want to protest are not given the right to protest you know there's not an effective political opposition you know they hear about restrictions on freedom of speech and you know lack of access to effective legal process easier to protect private property and so on and then of course corruption like these are all things that americans react extremely badly to not because there isn't some of
8:39 am
this sometimes in the united states and that there isn't some of this in many other countries around the world it's just it makes it very hard for us to behave like full partners when we don't see eye to eye on these kind of basic domestic issues as well you're saying that the u.s. and russia are at once over domestic policy in the lives of the nine thousand civilians killed in afghanistan since two thousand and one just recently nine boys under the age of twelve killed by u.s. helicopter gun fire in afghanistan and millions of russians who do not get how great can you appreciate that such a tone can prove counterproductive in russia. i think actually afghanistan is a good example of where the united states and russia have almost completely shared interests in the following sense i think russia. has a clear interest in stopping the flow of heroin out of afghanistan and stopping the spread of islamic fundamentalism into other central asian countries which as we know we saw in kyrgyzstan those are not stable government so they're very
8:40 am
vulnerable and i think united states clearly has an interest in succeeding in our counterinsurgency operation to prevent future nine eleven attacks and that's basically what the afghan invasion was about i don't think those two interests are inconsistent i think they're one hundred percent consistent and the best example of that was this fall i spars i know that a first time we saw a joint us russian operation boots on the ground special narcotics officers and special forces i tracked a and i panicked border region heroin labs and seized you know tons of illegal drugs that would have ended up in russia in europe you know harming people there's a difference in interpretation and style to me sergeant. scott a lot of this work. i don't think it's going to torpedo everything i think it's it's possible that the parties will not move quickly enough or will not be flexible enough that they come to an agreement on missile defense before the threat is so real that both sides move forward into time and if that happens it may be too late
8:41 am
to have a joint i don't think that will be the end of the world but there's no question that it will make it harder to have establish the level of trust that will be necessary to do other things like for example have an agreement on tactical nuclear weapons these are the short range battlefield nuclear weapons that both the russian side and the nato side still have deployed in europe you know twenty years after the end of the cold war something we probably ought to deal with dealing with the frozen conflicts all of these things they're sort of they require the sides to move together in lockstep and that requires trust you know who's going to move first because each side can sit and wait say well you take care of your side of this and then we'll do our side but it requires trust and i think missile defense is clearly the first step if we can get that right then i think the level of trust and. two security establishments goes away but there. were clear recently made a strong statement she's sat the u.s. is losing the information war it's an international media outlets meaning or
8:42 am
a team of other women does this mean that the u.s. is officially engaged in and media war with the rest of the wall. i certainly hope not i mean my my sense of it is you know it's true that the kind of traditional state media worldwide are actually enduring a big challenge from the likes of twitter and facebook you know people have ways of sharing information now that do not require going through any kind of official channels that's the biggest challenge you know whether there's an information war at the level of kind of state supported media between the voice of america and russia today you know whatever you know media services trying to has you know i think this is almost beside the point because the reality is your average citizen knows where the information is coming from so they want to listen to a russian perspective they can listen to what they want to listen to an american perspective they can listen to it but mostly i think what citizens want to listen to so they want to listen to each other and that's why they're using these sort of social networking tools and i don't view that as a threat i view that is basically
8:43 am
a positive thing but of course you want to make sure that in the long run everybody has kind of equal access to it because you don't want to have a class of people that has access to information and a class of people who live in the shadows and don't have access to information and we from all side of problems. are instructive thank you very much mr giles king for insight. download the official ante up location join a phone i pod touch from the on choose ops to. watch on t.v. like on the go. video on demand oxys minefield
