life on the good. video on demand. feeds now in the palm of your. mission. is not see here in our studios in central moscow top stories now the opposition reportedly offers colonel gadhafi a way out of libya amid rumors of foreign military intervention and the u.s. defense secretary joked that filming is close. corresponding tripoli finds massive support for the gadhafi for gadhafi in the libyan capital contradicting international headlines that he's isolated and close to defeat. the new links between the u.k. and libya's government revealed several british universities are under fire for in

gauging with the gadhafi regime the truth receiving controversial cash donations. i've got another update from fifteen minutes from now meantime we talked to a leading political analysts from carnegie envelopment about the last in consequences of the current turbulence in the arab world and that interview is next on. fox on the heels of the regime change in tunisia came popular protest movements throughout the region but more updates and other events making headlines joining me is deputy director of the russia and eurasia center at the carnegie endowment matthew and john skip along thank you very much for joining us but just so how do you view these polish even greater middle east 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 mubarak in egypt for example or a good doctor and they be we can't really say it was 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 that predict well some speculate that the arab middle east awakening was orchestrated by washington itself what are your thoughts about that i certainly am not a believer in conspiracy theories i think it's only when you listen to people who believe in the theory it makes the united states sound like the most effective global actor in history and i just frankly don't believe with the 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 what you're anti-american is an 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 so what extent was the u.s. court flat footed by developments. it's a good question i think. i think there are a lot of people in washington and 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 has happened it's almost interesting how after each one you know opportunity to ask of egypt after leave here everybody seems to say well this is it stops here you know the monarchs are safe maybe the dictators will go but they came this 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 one other thing is said and done when the dust settles who is the biggest there we'll 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 it is economically significant it is the story for a leader in the arab world you could imagine it coming out of this scenario

actually strengthened in some ways maybe being a leader of the new block with in the middle east a sort of new orientation of you know more popular democracies or just more popular you know government i can see that happening well buildings leave us he's well progress in the regions well you know israel has played a very careful hand certainly it with the events in egypt they're very concerned about their ability of the peace treaty which is really essential to the israeli security so that they don't have to fight on multiple fronts at once make 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 be israeli palestinian peace process in 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 party. instead i have that feeling of urgency that they need to make progress which is why it's

needed in the late one nine hundred eighty s. and early ninety's and 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 barricading themselves and protecting themselves that'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 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 i'm not but why would they allow them to negotiate they will do things to to torpedo those negotiations using the code does the right thing to engage her not some talks. 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. the question is of course

what he stated and i think that's where you know russia and the united states and israel and in particular actually i would say russia is are 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 each 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 it's actually would be stuck with the junk you 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 of 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 reality politique chess game in the world where there are spears of influence the united states controls some things russia controls some things trying to control some things you know the united states has a very different ideological approach to very same questions of politics which is very much about well you know our country is moving towards greater freedom our countries you know prospering anomic we 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 effective political opposition you know they hear about restrictions on freedom of speech and you know lack of access to effective legal process using that

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 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 odds over domestic policies but in the light 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 don't have get irate 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 governments 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 and a half panicked border region heroin lab and seized you know tons of illegal drugs that would have ended up in russia in europe you know harming people was the difference in interpretation and started me so i'll just. got a little bit 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 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 at these of 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 it 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 is to. because way where mr jones recently made

a strong statement that the u.s. is losing the information war it's international media outlets meaning our team there when does this mean that the u.s. is officially engaged in a 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 those in power 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

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 live in the shadows and don't have access to information from inside a problem that the u.s. secretary of state. instructs if thank you very much mr jones keep your insight. today once again flared up. these are the images the world.
