in the afternoon here in moscow you with art see the headlines now and the international community comes to a dead end unable to agree on how to stop syria's bloody crackdown on anti-government protesters the un has condemned the unrest and it's called for an investigation russia warns that censure could lead to more violence. washington support for opposition movements in the middle east and north africa could be back firing on its biggest ally israel faces actually

a radical islamists hamas rockets say instability in those regions has diverted attention away from them allowing them to target israel. with millions of addicts in russia drug tests could become a compulsory in schools counselors and psychologists say it's not a solution they demand the government focus on building more rehabilitation centers which offer better treatment. for syria is just the latest part of the arab world to find itself in a state of historic flux so once he has spoken to a seasoned middle east reporter to get his view on what's happening alan hart thinks the syrian president is a prisoner to the will of his own security forces that discussion is coming your way next right here. i'm talking to alan hots who's a veteran middle east journalist who's been involved with the region for forty years as both a reporter and

a conflicts with alan thanks very much for talking to me now you've been speaking we said a lot about whether mainstream media has a trade the idea of democracy in the middle east in its reporting do you think i have. oh i think it has totally betrayed democracy because there's a political reality to be afraid. no american president. and only an american president matters every american president has the leverage to require israel to be serious about peace. he's never going to use that leverage unless he because of the control of the zionist lobby in congress he's never going to use the leverage even if he wants to until he is pushed to do so by informed public opinion one might say by demonstrations of real democracy in action the problem in america and frankly in europe but most of all in america is that most

citizens are too uninformed and misinformed to do the pushing and that is frankly because the media has been complicit. with zionism in suppressing the truth of history as it relates to the making and sustaining of the conflict so i think it's very simple and what about the present what about these these these demonstrations and conflicts that we're seeing in the middle east at the moment what's your view of how that may just cope with that i think generally speaking the coverage has been ok. but. the whole thing is exciting but also frightening to me because i think the message that all the autocrats of go from mubarak's departure. is it are people take to the streets and start very straight and shoot them. i mean that's what seems to be happening but i think the key frankly is in egypt and i tell you what. i think that they probably will evolve

to elected government because the pressure of the generals may not like it but the pressure is there so let's issues down the road nine months ten months there was an elected government you then had a fascinating problem with a separate peace with. the how the hell does the new government handle that. there is a way in which they could do it very cleverly and maybe change everything in the middle east. if the new government said we'll have a referendum on this treaty if there was a wreck really but my guess is that eighty percent of egyptians say terry we don't want it it hasn't served our interest it hasn't served the arab interest sincerely intrenched is right. now with that kind of reform and you've got to say to america you've heard our people speak you say you like democracy i don't want this treaty but we'll have the treaty who keep it if you use your leverage on israel to

get them out of the occupied territories i want a fascinating scenario that would provide ok let's take it back a bit and then let's talk a bit about syria because that's the current country that is entering into this whole process of amazement and you're from the us have reiterated calls for un sanctions but it's a country that's been under international pressure for a long time over its ties to iran and its support for hezbollah must how serious do you think the stress of sanctions. well maybe it is serious but so what. i don't think young asset is in control. i think our side is probably more or less a prisoner of his generals in the security service since he gave the world the impression. when he came to power ten eleven years ago that he was going to be not like it's probably was the time he was going to be a reformer i suspect that probably was the genuine son of the father but i think right now he's probably as i say

a christian and they're just going to shoot and shoot and shoot and rather like the israelis don't give a damn. about what the world seems i didn't think serious security forces were like that some say this call for sanctions is the first step towards a no fly zone and we all they what happens from that do you think that the west could use the libyans as a sort of excuse for intervening in syria. where the libyan scenario to me. is nonsense i mean what have we got at the moment we've got to stand up so i think most people have made a mistake about gadhafi he was written off in the media in the newspapers and television is mad i think that's a complete misreading of the man i think he's evil but not mad i think he set up his whole security operation sperry cleverly over the years he knows exactly what he's doing so i don't think that sends any kind of message except don't get involved in the way that the french and the british have don't get

involved unless you're prepared to go the whole hog and the whole frankly it would be targeting and killing him. so i don't see what lessons that holds for dealing with syria. of course we sort of lost in about the nato allies so i think popular opinion suggests that nato is is to fight it and its goal of protecting the civilians in libya is really nowhere to be seen anymore is nato in any case capable of leading action no i don't think it is i mean everybody is terrified of what happened in iraq because most people know that was illegal. but the problem is even if nato. put its act together and say wrote we must deal with these tyrants who has really put sanctions on them are necessary to follow up with military action boots on the ground it wouldn't get to the security council china would be to it i'm sure russia would be to see what people don't understand about the united

nations it's not a self standing institution it is the sum total of the hypocrisy of the member states. and unless you can actually have a total consensus working through the un actually becomes impossible syria has a good relationship with iraq. could give to ask a strong supporter in all of this would you expect terrence react if one thousand nine hundred. i think tehran would be very worried about what's going on. because as i understand situation in tehran the present regime probably only has the support of thirty percent or so of the people so i think it's it's it's got to think very deeply about how it responds to this but the ties between the regime in damascus and the regime in tehran yes are very strong but i also think. has

a vested interest in what's going on here i mean i'm not one of those who writes has bought her off as a as a terrorist i think shake the struggle has put as leader is head and shoulders above all other arab leaders in the region i think he's a real leader and i think. as you grow into a truly democratic party so i don't think he will want any boats rocked. but if syria were to fall you i think you're really asking me what what would happen but i don't think syria will fall to the extent that i can't see a scenario in which syrian security doesn't remain in control. and what the world doesn't know about syria is that. for many years under this present president's father. it's actually cooperated with israel. it was actually times and israeli pop it in the sixty seven war i tell the full story of

this in my book there was a secret understanding between syria and israel before the sixty seven war so syria plays its cards very very surprised in this region it's much too early to rise with the regime. what about the regime in iran some are saying that the entire point of this entire goal the stars the western powers are concerned is to isolate iran and that by force the regime change do you agree with their i do the more the outside pressure comes on iran the more i think it is going to unite the people of iran you see there is this ridiculous story that you run wants to develop nuclear weapons there is absolutely no evidence whatsoever that the regime wants to develop nuclear weapons i mean they categorically say they don't know i can see that the revolutionary guards maybe same to the ayatollah as look we must develop them for forty terence the nonsense of it comes down to this supposing iran did have

a few nuclear weapons do you think it would launch a first strike on israel of course he wouldn't because he ran would be obliterated this is just a bluff and it serves israel's purpose because it takes the world's attention away from what israel is doing which is talking peace and continue to expand settlements in israel must be actually its leaders must be very pleased with what's going on in the arab world actually because again it's taken all the focus away from israel and it gets on the building more and more settlements like they're almost almost how possible to think it is that. in the wake of all these revolutions in the middle east islamists will come to power in the region. with this it's a terrifying thing if we stand back and look how it's a pro through tunis here through egypt. the what we might call the extremists or

the fundamentalist muslims they weren't in the game it was basically very ordinary people of all classes and all back. you know if the suppression goes on and on what that will do is eventually open the door to the extremists so in my view the west should now be solidly behind the street as it were to bring about the reforms of the changes they want because that is the way to guarantee that the fundamentalists won't have the oxygen if you like to come into the business it's a huge issue. and was about israel in all of this will it be less safe place in the future if you think israel has never been an unsafe place and one of the greats is . the mother and father of all lies as it relates to the israeli palestinian conflict is that israel has been in danger of annihilation i detail in the three

volumes of my book is a complete lie israel's existence is never ever be in danger from any combination of military force and that he's unlikely to change in any foreseeable future. hungry for the full story we've got it first hand the biggest issues get a human voice face to face with the news makers on r.t. .
