dunaway joins us to discuss recent developments the situation in the middle east and answer the question whether the region is going through the arab spring with some experts say or a period of decline just about done before you became deputy foreign minister russia's ambassador to egypt and for a number of years and witnessed the tragic events that shook the country the life of the best majority of egyptians remained part of the heart i was constantly deteriorating what do you think there's a possibility that egypt will experience another way of mass protests this time inspired by economic demands and what are the prospects for egyptian state considering other and going to the regions that yes we can or will it is true i was russian ambassador to egypt for over six years and i saw the social economic and political situation unfold in the world's largest out of country we are deeply concerned about egypt's future but we are also aware that any crucial decisions taken should only be taken by the people employing a democratic procedure be it

a referendum plebiscite or nationwide election did you know that there has been an action plan for reform drafted in egypt which includes reforming the electoral system for both parliamentary and presidential elections introducing amendments to the constitution adjusting existing legislation and adoption important new laws that will affect the social economic and political aspects of life for the out of community we hope our gyptian friends achieve progress and success on their possible reforms we have seen political struggle flared up among various social and political forces including islamist movements and we are following all these events very closely we think that the best way to resolve any program is to start an inclusive nationwide dialogue. that's what are your words. turn to syria now which is one of the most difficult problems in the region the west responded negatively to the state and afghan the actions of the syrian government they use tightening sanctions against syria a un resolution has been used to probe the situation for the possibility of

military intervention how high are the chances that western countries will and you don't wish a military campaign against syria. or we realize that city is going through a very difficult stage of development similar to a few other countries in the region and internal civil conflict between the government and part of society political social and economic problems and arguably to both in terms of numbers and complexity we think the best way to deal with these problems as a nation wide dialogue combined with crucial political social and economic reforms we support all efforts aimed at launching and promoting a substandard of dialogue between the government and the opposition we adhere to the notion that both parties should abstain from violence and engage in constructive dialogue and not this field of cooperation we wish them progress he said as he said the syrian government and president assad have delivered a number of statements on their reform plan for instance the president's speech damascus university where he presented the action plan for reform during our negotiations with the city and we insisted that it should be implemented step by

step in a consistent manner promptly and efficiently we also call in the sitting government to keep their promises and live up to the hopes and aspirations of the people there were adequately expressed during the mass rallies of a log of an old work that russia has refused to even discuss the draft resolution on syria proposed by france what is the reason behind such a tough stance especially with regard to the fact that moscow did not stonewall the un security council resolution on libya are there any other ways of resolving the syrian crisis when there are international help on the log and we believe that the city and should address their problems as part of their domestic agenda this is an internal civil conflict and it should not be internationalized as for the situation in libya of course. every country is unique in terms of its particular situation the background of this conflict the form and the scale of public protests on the other hand we should learn our lessons history first the un resolution on libya you've mentioned we are all witness to it and we still see at night that

a number of international players tend to digress from the stick observation of both the instructions and the spirit of these resolutions therefore we are not really concerned such a loose interpretations could only result in making some of the opposition circles tighten their position and opt for a tougher approach which is by no means opposed of achievement in terms of finding a mutually acceptable solution. a lot of as far as the opposition is concerned international observers point out that the demands of the syrian opposition are quite in sync with the demands quote for the west look at this be considered as evidence of some coordinated process and we had them and under such circumstances what meaning that the syrian delegations visit to moscow have. the way i see it the syrian opposition is not homogenous that is internal opposition there is external opposition and there are forces that indeed translate to a certain degree the opinion of some part of the public different things that we cannot talk of or position as a uniform force some of it is leftist some stick to socialist or communist views it

is a liberal opposition and islamic opposition represented by the muslim brotherhood and other islamic forces there for i think this matters a lot and makes a great difference in terms of our contacts with various parties i must say that we maintain contact with practically all of syria's social and political forces. europe is becoming increasingly wary and disappointed with leaders military campaign in libya the conflict shows no sign of ending the plight of the civilian population is the tearing radically what measures would you consider necessary for the conflict in parties and the international community and take in order to bring about a solution political and humanitarian terms but it isn't so much you know from the very start we have urged the parties in the conflict to cease all military action declared a truce and work at a sustainable solution for peace in libya in order to kick start the process of political reconciliation in this regard we have highly appreciated the contribution

of the african union which did get a rude march for reconciliation in libya the u.n. secretary general's envoy for libya is also contributing a lot to this process having come up with a number of additional settlement proposals addressing both military and political aspects we are currently in college and promoting these constructive ideas put forth by the african union and the united nations as you know there have been several meetings and most are with representatives from both tripoli on benghazi a russian presidential special envoy travel to tripoli on benghazi and we'll some in thousand contacts for the various third parties as for the humanitarian situation in libya you are right to know that it is a matter of serious concern for the entire international community in recent days we have provided additional. aid shipping food medicines and other humanitarian items to both tripoli and benghazi. as we discuss events in this region we can't avoid touching upon its key problem i mean the palestinian issue new generations of israelis and palestinians separate short since the middle east peace

process was once we still haven't seen any feasible progress in negotiations would you say this is a deadlock or is there a way to get the peace process on track and what would it require. because like you said the palestinian issue is a key issue for the entire region i believe that regardless of the arab spring and the developments in particular countries in the region the palestinian issue will remain pivotal for the entire arab world and for the region in general i also think that it will remain pivotal for our israeli partners as well i spent five years as an ambassador to israel myself i am personally acquainted with quite a few top ranking officials within the israeli government on the palestinian national authority as well as the palestinian liberation organization on the numerous palestinian factions and i think that everybody realizes that the palestinians and israelis are bound by this need self to live side by side as you know russia advocates establishing an independent palestinian state as soon as

possible for the state to live alongside israel maintaining peace and security we are committed to this practice both as a permanent member of the security council and as not to participant of the middle east quartet it was a ministerial meeting of the quartet in washington recently which featured a very specific detailed discussion on the situation with regard to the palestinian israeli truck we are certainly concerned with the negotiations been stalled at the moment the negotiations can be suspended still hope the both parties will find a way to agree on resuming the talks with a view to establishing an independent palestinian state as soon as possible and to resolve all of the remaining issues and not just reach a final settlement between israel and the palestinians the public. and. you were russia's ambassador to israel for five years and to egypt for search for your well informed about the situation there tell us what is the present role of the mediators in the palestinian israeli negotiations would you say that the president format has exhausted its capacities and we should look for new ways what is your

assessment of the quartet latest meeting in washington. at the quartet is a perfect format for providing international assistance to the israeli palestinian peace process i happen to attend not beating person is part of the russian delegation which is headed by foreign minister sergei lavrov and i witnessed a very constructive discussion among all the participants for about ministerial meeting of the candidate comprehensive analysis of the situation and identify the reasons behind the kind of stolen negotiations they also discussed various features and ideas off a situation and most importantly the members of the quartet agreed to keep in touch intensively with to keep an exchange of opinions and proposals running all the time all members of the quartet are committed to keep talking to both parties in the dispute this is based on the understanding that there probably will be one more meeting of the quartet in september once the u.n. general assembly convenes for a regular session in new york and all of the members of the quartet will be there to discuss the situation one more time this proposal came from the russian foreign

minister in the hope of the parties become out with a certain adjustments to the positions so as to be able to resume the peace process i thought is not the case the quarter we discussed other options for dealing with the situation i'm referring to the initiative that is currently being discussed by the palestinian public and has already been endorsed by the arab league which is the idea of taking the issue of establishing an independent palestinian state to the un general assembly. the people of the united states and their friends and allies will not live at the mercy of an outlaw regime that threatens the peace with weapons of mass murder his regime has an active program to acquire and develop nuclear weapons and let there

be no doubt about we know for a fact that there are let's say. this work is being carried out under the direction of dr david kay respected scientist and former u.n. inspector was leading the weapons search in iraq we are determined to take this apart you have a tremendous a group of dedicated american men and women involved in this with the best assets of the intelligence community can provide. data cheney is not going to be done with this for quite some time david kay wants more time he says if you take another six to nine months to make a definitive finding ministration is asking congress for hundreds of millions more six hundred million dollars to fund a continuing search you have not yet found shiny pointy things that i would call a weapon before we can draw from conclusions we need to let the iraq survey group complete its work. we were all wrong probably in my judgment and that is most disturbing. sometimes the true

patriots takes the unpopular course but helps the country and wooden stakes and even if they come this way at least from the track patriotism is the last refuge of scoundrels and i think these are scoundrels they have no argument now they have no defense for what they did the country is in a terrible international security situation and i think it's perilous so they're attacking the patriotism of others.

a month and a half he will start training camp with his team the bismark being with thought i was right there with your work on saturday yeah and i saw place. a matter of. fact he's going to have to set my time ever since he was around for the first year training camp so he's going to get the hell out of my workout and that you are off ice like training. mile can develop through the system and to russian powerhouse we don't need a lot and did it for the team in two thousand and three when he was just seventeen the following year he was drafted second no girl babies were behind his national team mate alexandrovitch but due to dispute ill will contract with neteller gina was forced to stay for another year however his dream of playing in the n.h.l. came true in two thousand and six when he finally swapped the russians still city

for them merican want to keep the ice alongside then up and coming canadian sidney crosby and it seems like the wind is right enough to hold good hockey giants. and we're just the crosby was injured last season too and we spent a lot of time together while we were recovering we supported and cheered on our teammate. when we couldn't but we keep in touch and i know that his recovery is going well too and he's training on the ice already he's a nice guy and a big star has already won almost all the trophies in hockey and he has no superiority complex molecule has been shortest to his cabinet every year but there are still no olympic medals in his collection and undoubtedly it's one of his per year it is for the near future. should you enjoy your i haven't won a lot with a national side which for me it's a great honor to play for my country all the greats like mario lemieux and wayne gretzky one olympic gold crosby's already grabbed gold too so i'm determined to win the olympics and not only in sorting one medal is never enough. despite how can so

many on the start where remains a straightforward almost reserved person while still greedy for victories on the ice at the age of twenty five the career of the thing going forward is just starting and it is both in north america and in russia should enjoy his skills for many years to come. his name out of a. three mile indianapolis colts quarterback peyton manning says he still doesn't know when he'll be back in action he underwent neck surgery in may and he's still recuperating however he does say he is delighted he signed a new five year deal with with the culls with nineteen million dollars. that was important for me to get all this done so i can concentrate just on. getting healthy i had a lot away and all that with the lockout. and the lockout discussions with. a
