bringing you the latest in science comes. from. the future. international news now live from moscow this is r.t. with twenty four hours a day top stories this international divisions over syria as nations try to end the bloody crackdown on anti-government protesters the un has condemned the armrest and has called for an investigation but russia warns censure could lead to more violence. washington support for opposition movements in the middle east and north africa could be backfiring on its biggest ally israel visits actually boosting radical islamist that's right instability in those regions has diverted attention

allowing them to target israeli. civilians about exe and russia could soon face legal action for their habits with the government planning to hold them criminally accountable other than includes making drug tests compulsory in schools. while now syria is just the latest part of the arab world to find itself in a state of historic flux he has been speaking to a seasoned middle east reported to get his view on what's happening there i don't think that the syrian president is a prisoner so that one of his own security forces and not interview is coming up next here on r.t. . i'm talking to allan hawks who's a veteran middle east journalist who's been involved with the region for forty years as both a reporter and a conflicts resolved alan thanks very much for talking to you now you've been

speaking with a lot about whether mainstream media has trades the idea of democracy in the middle east in its reporting do you think it has. oh i think it has totally betrayed democracy because there's a political reality to be face. no american president. and the only an american president masses 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 that leverage even if he wants to until he is pushed to do so by informed public opinion well might say by demonstrations a real democracy in action the problem in america and frankly in europe could most of all of 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 you 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 the media that i think generally speaking the coverage is 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 if our people take to the streets and start demonstrating 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 an elected government because the pressure of the generals may not like

it but the pressure is there so you need to shoot down the road nine months ten months there is no right to go then have 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 and if there was a referendum my guess is that eighty percent of egyptians and say. we don't want it it hasn't served our interest it hasn't served the arab interests it's only trenches you. know with that kind of reform and you've got to say to america you've heard our people speak you say you like democracy you don't want this treaty but we'll have the treaty whoopie it if you use your leverage on israel to get them out of the occupied territories but what 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's that's entering into this whole process of amazement and europe and the us if we rated schools 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 has a large mass how serious do you think the stress of sanctions. well maybe it is serious so what. i don't think young i said is in control. i think our side is probably more or less the prisoner of his generals in the security services he gave the world the impression. when you came to work ten eleven years ago the risk free not like this fall there was a 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 prisoner and they're just going to shoot and shoot and shoot and rather not use

radios don't give a damn. about what the world seems i didn't see the serious security forces were like that some say this call this action is the first step towards a no fly zone and we all day what happens from that do you think that the west could use the libyans as a sort of excuse for intervening in syria. while the libyan scenario to me. is you know i mean what if we go to 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 you know 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 hog frankly would

be targeting and killing him. so i don't see what lessons that debian holds for dealing with syria of course we sort of lesson about the naysayer allies i think popular opinion suggests that nato it is defies its nature and its goal of protecting the civilians in libya is really seen any more is nato in any case capable of leading another 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 we we must deal with these tyrants who is really put sanctions on them this to follow up with military action boots on the ground it wouldn't get through the security council china would be to it i'm sure russia would be to it she 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 then this you can actually have a total consensus working through the un actually becomes impossible syria has a good relationship with iran. to ask assistance to portray know if this would you expect terror if nato it's got involved i think tehran will be very worried about what's going on. because as i am 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 put the ties between the regime in damascus and the regime in tehran yes a 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

his brother officer as a terrorist group i think shake their struggle and his brother's leader is head and shoulders above all other arab leaders in the region i think he's a real leader and i think hezbollah has evolved 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 well 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 actually cooperated with israel. it was actually a time and israeli puppet in the sixty seven war i told 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 to survive in this region it's much too early to write off the regime there. and what about the regime in iran saying that the entire point of this entire goal the stores the west is to isolate iran and that by force the regime change do you agree with that no i do and 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 we did get the story that he ran 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 look we must develop them for forty terence but the nonsense of it comes down to this supposing iran did

a few nuclear weapons do you think you would launch a first strike on israel of course it wouldn't because iran 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 in continue to expand its settlements and israel must be actually its leaders must be very happy 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 you know almost almost how possible to think it is that. in the wake of all these revolutions in the middle east islamists will come to our region. with this it's terrifying thing if we stand back and look how it through 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 backgrounds.

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 in 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 that. 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 one of the greats is . another and father of all lies as it relates to the israeli palestine conflict is that israel's been in danger of annihilation i detail in the three volumes of my book it is a complete lie israel's existence has never been danger from any

combination of arab military force and that is unlikely to change in any foreseeable future. this time it's silent for decades. twenty five years ago the entire fifty thousand population over ukrainian down pretty hard wasn't like away to within three hours. because now it wants to be recently some people started receiving post notices telling them to build up letters at this post office employee i'm sure. the stories of the world long gone it would. just have to be told to.

me to the diaries of the ghost of archie it up to.

the. the forces are an arty international divisions over syria as nations try to end the bloody crackdown on anti-government protesters the un has condemned the unrest and has called for an investigation but russia warns censure could lead to more violence. washington support for opposition movements in the middle east and north africa could be backfiring on its biggest ally israel fears is actually boosting radical islamist fighters instability in those regions has diverted attention allowing them to target israel. and millions of addicts in russia could soon face legal action for their habits with the government claiming to hold them criminally

accountable another part of the plan includes making drug tests compulsory in schools. i've got more news more developments for in less than fifteen minutes and i mean tom ridge is next with the latest sports. well morgan sources say it's great to have you with us to talk about arts. kaplan conquest of race from the all miss cc's barcelona secure its first leg leading israel underage finals of the champions league. skulls the limits to coach mills three states he's the coming when you coach super rich and that is both swan. and is it a bird is a plane no it's a russian nationals going to live in team we can shuffle around in junkies world cup goal this summer. his first love for barcelona and their champions league
