he talks to a leading political analyst from the carnegie endowment about the lasting consequences of the current turbulence in the arab world that interview coming up next. tosk on the heels of the regime change in tunisia came popular protest movements throughout the region for more on this and other events making headlines joining me is deputy director of the russia and eurasia center of the carnegie endowment matthew and john skate hello thank you very much for joining us there at john scheme so how do you view these powers shaped great and 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 all along whether another strongman comes into power to replace mubarak

in egypt for example or if you're in libya we can't really say at this point it looks like a civil war in libya and that's very difficult to predict what will happen so i think a power shift maybe is not necessarily in the works definitely great changes and it's very difficult i think to predict well some speculate that the arab middle east awakening was all constrained by washington itself what are your thoughts about that i certainly am not a believer in conspiracy theories but i think it's right 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 as 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 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 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 flat food supplies about. it's a good question i think. i think there are a lot of people in washington i mean i know a lot of people in washington who have been saying this is going to happen for a long time and we need to be prepared for it. i don't think anybody expected it on the scale that it has happened it it's almost interesting how after each one you know after tunisia after egypt after libya everybody seems to say well this is it

it stops here you know the monarchs are safe maybe the dictators will go but the canes will stay and as i said before i don't think anyone can predict this i think this is a very fluid situation that was it's going to keep changing but everything is said and done when the dust settles who is the biggest the real pala broke when the region. translation does this help iran for example does this help you know turkey i think the answer is probably yes this 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 a transition period it is a very big it is economically significant it is a historical leader 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 walk within the middle east a sort of new or even station of you know more popular democracies are just more

popular you know government so i could see that happening but what will this leave us something to ease about progress in the region well you know israel has played a very careful hand certainly and with the events in egypt they're very concerned about the their ability of the peace treaty which is really essential to israel's security so that they don't have to fight on you know multiple fronts at once and the united states of course is fully supportive of that 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 a peace process never succeeds when it is driven by urgency from the outside but he's process only succeeds when the parties. inside i have that feeling of urgency that they need to make progress which is why it succeeded in the late one nine hundred eighty s. and early one nine hundred ninety s. and then it didn't succeed in the past decade because the parties were in some

sense satisfied with where the situation was so i think for example if at this point you know the israelis feel safer just sort of barricaded themselves in 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 and now there are popular uprisings in the streets and it's time for you know if the islamic fundamentalist movement to take advantage of that so why on earth would they allow their palestinian authority colleagues who of course are not part of hamas but why would they allow them to negotiate they will do things to torpedo those negotiations do you think also does the right thing to engage hamas 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 talk to the question is of course what he stated and i think that's where you know russia and united states and israel in particular actually i would say russia and israel i mean this is a time when you have

a million plus russian speakers in israel including are bigger lieberman foreign 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 more effectively to deliver you know 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 very useful mr johnson you've written extensively on the so-called values gap in u.s. russia relations what do you mean here well this is a term i'm not the first person to invent this term it's the idea that basically we see eye to eye with the united states and russia on many many issues economic issues issues security. 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

a sort of reale politique chess game in the world where there are spheres of influence the united states controls some things russia controls some things trying to control something you know the united states has a very different ideological approach to the very same questions of you politics which is very much about well you know our country is 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 and you know they fear 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 but these are all things that americans react extremely badly to not because there

isn't some of 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 oh you're saying that the u.s. and russia are at all it's over domestic policies but in the lives of the nine thousand civilians killed in afghanistan since two thousand and one just recently nine was under the age of twelve killed by u.s. helicopter gun fire in afghanistan and millions of russians who cannot get a high rate 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

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 act and 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 as far as i know for the first time we saw a joint us russian operation boots on the ground special narcotics officers and special forces attacked a nap packed border reeking heroin lab and seized you know tons of illegal drugs that would have ended up in russia in europe you know harming people just the difference in interpretation and style to me so i'll defer scott along 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 independent and if that happens it may be too late to have it going 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 established a 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 based 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 and 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 between our two security. difference goes way where mr jones can hillary clinton rescind came made a strong statement that the u.s. is losing the information war it's international media outlets naming are

a team there when does this mean that the u.s. is officially engaged in a media war with the rest of the well. 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 i was in a while or 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 if 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 but mostly i think what citizens want to listen to and 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 as basically

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 have kind of in the shadows and don't have access to information and went from inside a prospect. instructive thank you very much mr charles key for insight. into. the events and the radio. signal numbers for the better because he's afraid that our. moves the germans. radiation that they exist in the nature. of a car the growth in the vicinity of known differentiated so produce is so not the

especially for us. the resort that will stage the alpine ski events of the twenty fourteen winter olympics is becoming a brand name that resonates around the world however these guys don't need prepare tracks they just need in the abundance of fresh snow and good weather. so meet the world's top free riders on the slopes of their you reach it was a there's been some freeskiing freewriting scheme for twenty years in the region people from all over the world came because there are some steep interesting mountains with snow that grips to the mountain and gives you very good lines. plus the hospitality. the russian people is something very special. twelve years ago righted krasnaya polyana could only wish to talk of the mountain by helicopter but now anyone can get there by ski lift never the last free ride

contests are more natural it's all about enjoying even to rein in iconic mountain resort which inspired the athletes to test their most creative skills on a windy truth. you know it's the best way to be close to the mountains in winter it's like an incredible feeling riding i think is the best. sochi became the fourth stop on the world show for flying skiers and snowboarders this year as the tournament increased from four to six events pre-writing is contradictory in their it's not strictly speaking competition but some reuters still want to be on the very top of their sport which judges are needed writers do not adjust to a judge insisting the system of their. heart stopping beckley cleve jones three cornices and jaw dropping tour and that's what the judges witness. every time the sec is just two days ahead all season long way. if it
