and in japan and radiation bronzes in the sea near fukushima despite efforts to bring the plant under control following the earthquake tragedy over ten thousand are now listed as dead many more homeless or missing. next we discuss the rise of islamophobia in the us with award winning journalist ian buruma who says it's a reaction to fear. r.t. sitting down with award winning writer and journalist ian buruma named one of the top one hundred global thinkers by foreign policy magazine mr bruma is a professor of democracy human rights and journalism at bard college in new york sir thank you so much for joining us today thank you know your latest book is teaming the gods of religion and democracy on three continents so i want to start

our discussion by asking you about the role of islam in the modern world how significant is it and do you see a certain level of. in the united states nowadays do you think it's justified there is certainly a level of islamophobia just all over the western world it's difficult to talk about a lot of the role of islam because it's not one thing to millions and millions of people it's a faith but inside the world of islam there's also a violent revolutionary movement which is a minority of muslims who take part in it or we can sympathize with it but it's there and that causes problems and to the extent that people are worried about violence coming from those groups that worried that worry is justified is that is a long war with no that would be a very mistaken and dangerous notion are you seeing

a certain level of phobia when it comes to islam. well yes you do occasionally people begin to depend on it. i think it's one of the last forms of bigotry that is more or less respectable or mean you can't be ninety seven nights and be respectable but you can say that you can't stand muslims and you can still get invited to dinner is that an acceptable double standard no not in my view but it's part of the modern world from some of the things that have been coming out of the media really seems like that is a sentiment they're trying to fuel i don't think. i wouldn't blame the mainstream media for that at all. i think would it really is that because of globalization. because of financial insecurity. fast moving developments in the modern world in which some people feel that they're being left behind and so on there's a lot of anxiety and it's always useful in times of anxiety when people have an

enemy to focus on immigrants in general but muslims in particular are singled out as an object to fear. but. to come back to your question i don't think that the mainstream media been. the worst culprits in this who have been the worst culprits i think some of them in europe some of the populist politicians who have used this . in the united states. on radio and cable t.v. and so on who. use this issue to stir up. or to exploit resentment now in one of your articles about china there is a place where you see nationalism is often fed by a sense of impotence and i wanted to ask you about this do you think that is a saying that could also be relevant to modern day united states yes but it. comes back to that same issue that people who feel they're not represented they don't

have a voice that not listened to they don't have a grip on public affairs. very vulnerable. leaders who promise. where if you feel you're a lonely individual who has no influence on anybody and nobody cares about it feels good to be in a crowd shouting usa usa or. in the case of america because be in china it could be anywhere in china what i meant by. chinese nationalism being a form often the expression of a form of impotence i didn't mean that in the sense of the chinese government but where people have no political voice china's after all not a democracy. there nationalism can play the same role that religion plays in other parts of the world it becomes a kind of. substitute for political. participation the united

states is a democracy do you think people have a political voice here certainly more than in china. but the huge role played by money for example has destroy. the process somewhat i mean it is a democracy but like all democracies it has great flaws and one of the flaws i think in this country is that you have two parties and people who get elected only can can only get elected if there are huge amounts of money involved and that leaves a lot of the population sort of out of the equation who do you think is the real power in the united states who really leads the country at this point is it corporations you know still wall street is it really washington d.c. or is it the tea party is the media its course not one thing and the fact that it's not a dictatorship means that there is no center of power but if you do corporations for

example do you think they have a bit more control than they should in making some i think they probably have more control than they should but that's not to say that corporations run america be too simple they certainly have a huge influence as does wall street as does the pentagon as does. congress as do. various voices in the media i mean they all have an influence some . of these groups institutions have perhaps more influence than they alter and that's because of the enormous role played by money i want to talk to you about china i know. we've talked a little bit about some of the fear mongering in the media do you think china is really a threat to the united states why is it seen as a threat by so many people and. is there a basis to that i don't think it's a direct threat to the united states certainly not a military threat but they're competing and they have

a comparative advantage of having a huge population that can make things much more cheaply than people can the united states i don't think it's a huge threat it's perceived as such again because the rise of china. as a serious power. you can omit clout is has been recent and has been very fast people are fearful for many different reasons and it's helps them to be able to focus on something in the united states it's usually an external enemy why is it so often external and it could be part of a lack of knowledge what is it one of the i think it's something that's probably the history of the u.s. it's sort of refuge from the dangerous outside world one way to make people feel that they have something in common with each other that creates a kind of cohesiveness of society because of course this idea that here we are in the united states and we will have to defend ourselves against this dangerous world

out there is it the united states powerful enough to just stop worrying about an outside rationally you would have thought so but these things are not always rational and if there isn't an external enemy people often invent the domestic one that's not just in america it's all over the place you mentioned japan having been seen as a threat to western economies decades ago where does it stand now but i don't think anybody sees the plan as a threat anymore very soon after people were making a tremendous fuss about japan buying up the world there was a big recession and japan is now seen as a more or less normal capitalist country with it it is a lot. japanese to be fearful and they're very anxious about trying to want to ask you about bric bloc that is made up of brazil russia india and china some experts are saying that this block is going to really become a leader in. the world economic arena do you think that's the case or is china way

ahead of everyone else china is certainly bigger than most other places and all these countries have a long way to grow and very dynamic for that. reason because they come from a lower. basis so the tend to be industrious and ambitious and sold in a way that perhaps is less true in. a continent like your which has been prosperous for an awful long time do you think they could become stronger than the united states in europe in terms of their. combined possibly but what a stronger me in today's economies when. corporations very very often they have will have their headquarters in one country but most of the factories in other countries and consumers all over the place and. it's become such an international economy that it's difficult it's very difficult to talk in

terms of national strength the chinese talk in that way and it's a it's a nineteenth century. rather german way of looking. thinking about an economy. the american system of course is different if you are an american corporation is not to make the united states into a stronger nation state your name is to make a lot of money and make sure that the shareholders are happy how do you measure power and north korea economically is it a complete backwater it's a little slum out there that nobody would pay any attention to for the fact that they have nuclear weapons and that makes it into a power that has to be taken into account in the room i think it's a much it's a pleasure.

let's kick off with. their latest hero it's one to twelve qualifier watching that match in here he vonn was our. i reached the halfway point in their quest to try and qualify for euro two thousand and twelve finals in poland and ukraine and that task is now become a lot harder following their failure to beat armenia or take up a cab overseas a big setback for him but he was my grandmother said enough to pay tribute to way armenia played today. in the game because. we had four away games we winning three one goal in prison. is good but seeing this game we played against a very aggressive team. still we had the opportunity to do to win. so i think the organizational world was excellent from the team but i was the final finishing touch you need a little bit luck or russia would dominate possession for long periods in the game but i broke out with a point to match in the second half of the first half when really russia had many

chances to score but unfortunately they were unable to find the net and who was the stand i player really for the russians annoyed he said here it was crucial the key point of the match is that we didn't score but we scored we would have gone. from the team dominating controlling creating chances as a coach. but shooting in the goal they have. won fortunately andrey arshavin was once again not at his best form the russian national side as they are small midfielder really was on the periphery of everything the russians tried to create and certainly didn't show the same sorts of energy of the likes of carrick or found it showed in his form side is a worry for advocates of a moment it's been a long time since he's put in a decent performance and also russia now gone afraid i have matches without change managing to find the back of the net. i think the whole team works very hard and you have always she. brings his best form we also have seen that some players did

not bring their best form but in the organisation they did their job one of the last visit fantastic point didn't create much going forward but they managed to restrict russia's attacks by playing a very good defensive game and their studies. in contention for us please the euro two thousand and twelve finals in poland ukraine i think that not many. considered . you know fighting for fighting for its fight for qualification you know what i think that we have a very good team and i think that you know many people many teams should really. be serious when they're all russia's next year in two thousand and twelve being around for a month's time and again play the armenians and they've got the consummate time has plenty to think about most notably about how to try and get his team scoring again . in the back of a very want to break those euro two thousand and twelve finals. and there have been some more interesting results and. this one the one minutes that

slovakia want to gain. well on the key. is to be the well twenty two minutes helping the republic of ireland to a two one win over macedonia. so as the table currently stands in group b. it's very close with russia ireland and slovakia all in ten points while armenia are just too behind in fourth. elsewhere england have gone top of group g. fabio capello's mandating home nation rivals wales to nail to leapfrog montenegro on goal difference was the worst of stars for gary speed's young whale steve in front of a capacity crowd at the in the stadium james collins was guilty of crimes in a bringing down ashley young inside the box and frank lampard stepped up to clinical a smack home the spot kick putting the visitors in control just seven minutes and and they didn't wait long for their second go jostling launching a long range pass young with a low cross there and aston villa team made their own bounce smash the ball home
