and because of this inaction the miners traitors so it's along to their own hands and expel the israeli ambassador and the u.s. to french so you can say about it he called the leader as you know of the interim military government as soon as the rest broke out apparently telling him to step up the protection of the israeli embassy are you at all surprised that washington was so quick to react. really thinking because of course israel is a top ally of america so i guess there is no surprise there but what if your take on it but get you can european law start again with america america rang in cairo last night telling it to protect the israeli embassy are you surprised by that move . well i'm not really surprised because i think they. the there their reaction to what happened in the israeli embassy was not quicker than that and then their reaction to what's happened to their embassy in syria and i'm not sure how not do they care for their own embassies being attacked that other
2:23 pm
countries then they do care for the israeli embassy in another country. i would like to. see the united states being a fair player in the region. not just you know after all supposing there are after all not just supporting israel or the expense of other parties and being so enthusiastic in defending israeli interests. so yeah that's that's what i have to say about this or i'm going to that's just that it's a little much partaken of we have to make anyways let's focus but i cannot why do you think personally the new interim leaders there are listening to you and your fellow countrymen who have something to say what are they listening to what would you have been through over the last year because very much over the past seven or eight months they look they have been behaving like part and parcel of the outgoing
2:24 pm
mubarak regime. i mean those military generals who were appointed by mubarak and there is no surprise at all when we find them following the same policies that have been followed by mubarak i will give you a simple example the newly appointed foreign minister he's not who is not now in power has been appointed after mubarak was deposed took to the sessions namely that he would end the siege in gaza according to international law and also with we have fairly tape ties with iran now it seems that the military generals did not like this they depose the foreign minister and nothing happened with regard to the gas the sage and nothing happened regarding with regards to relate. as with iran so there has been very keen in keeping everything in place as much as mubarak did but the new variable on the ground is that egypt's opinion has been liberated and that means are not going to pay silence again what is right commits an act of thuggery
2:25 pm
on it's an hour of the people living on our border and that's what has brought down what happened last night so we have to look at the motivation to make a strategic solution to what has actually been happening just leave israel if we can for a second out of it let's just focus it on the broader picture back at home where you are would you think your country's going to go over the next twelve months or so we've got these presidential and parliamentary elections coming up which way is it going to go where you see it heading you've got your ear to the ground you're a man of the know we're going to go. was the monetary council which is in power now has been promising that they are going to help to hold parliamentary elections late november through transfer of power. that's their promise after which they will make a constitution and then the said we will hold presidential elections and a complete transfer of power will happen but these promises have been very vague there is no real tight schedule for every step that's going to happen and there's
2:26 pm
been much though that they would actually do so so the only guarantee for us to make sure this would feed delivered is to stay on the streets keep the momentum going of the revolution has just been so successfully havening last night gatherings that her square and other cities mohamad with another and sort of the having of the of the israeli embassy which was the end of the day so it shouldn't be taken as it's been three whole mark of the whole day of the one astray since i'm sort of so i'm really hopeful as long as there are people on the street keeping the pressure on the military council to leave power because we're not very have not been very much satisfied with the performance on going off to put in there and hear everything you say and i thank you so much for being on the program i just really have a tile look at it we've got of the hour i had learned in a minute but i would argue for thank you so much related. do we have time for the quick story i think we do greek prime minister george perfect dros promised to save his debt stricken country from bankruptcy and press ahead with vital reforms in a key speech on the economy as he spoke police fired tear gas to disperse
2:27 pm
a crowd of protesters in the city of paris alone a record number of officers are on standby there tonight as thousands of people holding on to your sturdy protests this week as both economic analysts next cricketing told me believe that big in the euro zone is doing more harm than good for greece. now i would agree with many that have criticized the fact that we are in the euro it really hasn't benefited us all that much and if one looks at the numbers i mean the euro has appreciated about sixty percent since we actually joined which has done nothing for at imperatives greece isn't ready to leave the euro and the eurozone would not be able to throw us out at such a we there is actually known legal exhibit mechanism in the treaties from the eurozone they could force you out practically by cutting off liquidity but it would not be something that would suit anybody to be done in such a chaotic and us had bene i think this focus especially over this weekend on greece
2:28 pm
he's a little bit of needs i think the biggest problem that the eurozone faces is its arms failure to organize and its own failure to realize that a lot of the underlying problems from the fact that it was never structured properly in the first let's. quickly the showbiz news for you were inside the russian direct alexander movie has won the golden lion prize at the sixty eight venice film festival congratulations to him the critically kane movie was selected on saturday by a jury headed by darren aronofsky who's black swan opened venice last year or to learn more about the director and his work of course we've got more of our table contra night but i'm carol lin thanks for being with those headlines just a minute and a half away. when

2:32 pm
war has changed and mission. has changed both in a practical and in a motivational sense. than anything else the impulses for war changed forever war is one of the most difficult concepts to define today more than ever but there still classifies using time periods such as from the one nine hundred fifteen thousand nine hundred eighteen and some one thousand forty thousand nine hundred forty five. days there's a war and people have ignored it when it started but what is most worrying is not the fact that it's uncertain when it will end the battlefield the real problem is that it is not even known if it is going to come true and. perhaps a future war will be won with those soldiers and the troops will still exist but it will be an invisible. illo. thanks
2:33 pm
. the war has evolved substantially in terms of where centuries and millennia the war has been by dimensional look at what is being fought on the mainland and in the sea. the first gap in the war evolution can be compared to a few. in evolution that one man assumed the upright position. the upright position in the evolution is the vertical position of the conflict the one the airplane became a weapon it starts to become possible to materially turn the whole battle dynamic upside down and to fight back in the day the people had to leave home to go to war to fight it was like a football match in a stadium. nowadays the people play football in the streets the war is widespread. we don't need to wait for sarajevo and for someone to get close to a car to start opening fire here we just need someone clicking with the mouse able to give the first of the impulses and make it begin as if it was
2:34 pm
a line of dominoes fall so these don't know pieces fall one over the other until the end of the whole chain through no. form you just have to think of the energy supply finance communications and the transport system that appears in a while it will be possible to apply it to the whole planet. mission. through let's think for a while back to nine eleven it was a terrorist attack we can all agree on this. call of the terrorist attack we were fair to the purpose of the motivations but if we look at deeply into it yeah it's an act of war highly asymmetrical because no one weapons have been used to write
2:35 pm
a column toasters because we are so familiar with the airliners and to see them and to catch them to us they're like a household appliance the same as a toaster. these household appliances toasters been used to become weapons. of the twin towers over to. thousand eight hundred casualties at present i think that there are around seventy thousand workers on the health of oratory is affected by cancer just in the municipality of flora manhattan whole goodish additionally you have over one hundred fifty thousand citizens f.x. and by different illnesses such as a never ending in long cancer and leukemia she immediately info and all of the sicknesses bring it. here i hope that the person that's calls that spirit will realize the all to calm options actions. and the collapse of two skyscrapers
2:36 pm
stakes close enough to airplanes over the case of the mainly composed of heaven that silt and the dust it generated from these explosions. drives the facts of the original explosion. a feat. they generated and pollutants and new york citizens are still suffering because of that. when the first airplane hit the first twin tower i was in the military environment in a high command place. as a matter of fun it was first attack immediately followed by the second one was being seen as the beginning of world war three. i'm not talking about rational thought it was the instinctive response. it was something like of events of fear
2:37 pm
an emerging fear that founded sounds or in the form of a stereotype of world war three. if it ever happens with world war three will probably not be a clash between two armies either so the class or to take. ologies. perhaps world war three has already begun and we didn't even notice it because it's not a traditional war on the battleground. of the phenomena will let's start by saying that by my reckoning this is the fourth war not the third that we already had a third conflict and we call it the cold war. because in my opinion the fourth world war is already in progress but it isn't fought with the aid of weapons it is a mistake to fight using weapons if you always loose all the participants loose it's. am especially now we have such powerful weapons that could be dragged into
2:38 pm
a foolish war with hundreds of thousands of casualties this is the main risk we are playing we are assuming enormous risks and we aren't even aware of it is it a big. bad. idea that is nuclear weapons have surely marked a strong revolution in both military and security affairs jim in peace that before their creation there had always been a shortage of firepower in relation to the wishes of strategic. nuclear weapons provided firepower greater than any political purpose rationally prosecutable. therefore nuclear weapons specially during the cold war being known war weapons. and what is happening now adays is the normality there is no order a great change with a continuous redefinition of the international order they can lead to unexpected
2:39 pm
results which get a redefinition of new roles and a change for league nor what is useful what is useless and what is harmful to new subjects are emerging almost every day and it is unknown if these subjects will be good or evil. i think you just have to think about the international finance and so yesterday we thought that that would have been the universal solution to all the problems your as now has become one of the enemies to fight against. us thanks. thanks. what has changed in the war concept is not just its definition or its idea the war changed in the way it is fault and in its motivations. more than anything else what has changed is the
2:40 pm
impulses for the war. since the peace of westphalia the war have finally become an affair between sovereign states and the nowadays it is not a war or a confrontation between sovereign states anymore going to visit confrontation between wills between different interests. not just between organizations but also between know an organization. which has modified the concept of war from the one to the current one is the fall of the agreements established during the westphalia treaty. the treaty implied wars a current affair between states when a country was defeated on the battlefield except of the political defeat and turned into an ally of the winner. nowadays a war is not an affair between states anymore because it became more expensive and
2:41 pm
the prophets have reduced. to the present it depends on the relative productiveness of the different economies that in other terms on the competitiveness of the different countries taken a system. where the states lose power we see on the other hand the growth of the corporations it is easy to think about the american corporations because they are the most powerful ones but we could also talk about the swiss ones that aren't under the spotlight as much as the americans. but they still exist they are strong and can determine the future of the whole world and why because they have more powerful means than the state's. corporations are economic and aren't subject to
2:42 pm
a government anymore back in the day some governments have their own corporations today it's not like that anymore today the corporations own the states they have states that are paid their commands. there are no words of connection between the economic and the political power or the economic power or least the people that lead it. to the states as an institution. nowadays the state is a mere agents that provide services who is intended to be the user of the services . a part of them are for the citizens most of them are intended for the people that assume economic power which nowadays in this particular historical context economic power is the only real power in. the
2:43 pm
dimension of the war is symbolic as we said that it's a clash between different wills in order to pursue interests. who manages the interests and manages the war. the subject that manages the interests is not the state any more. than hugo chavez in venezuela believes that a statesman is the one that manages the state. if that is truth he is the last one left. in the rest of the world we see that strong economic interests develop connections with the state organization because we aren't talking about people's concept of multinational companies. carol the multinational company with a corporation made of people from different states here we are talking about corporations i can influence several states that have states at their disposal.
2:44 pm
to go up if it's at a symphony and we have to think that in italy we just experienced a case that can be key to understanding what a corporation is and what a state is that if it is true that the head of the italian military secret services of the phones under the control of an italian corporation that while i'm not going to mention the name of this corporation but it is easy to figure out. and this is symbolic of the loss of the importance of the state. status of the state has changed since it lost almost all its purgative sort of it is in the void is always filled by something that is why the corporations are progressively taking the place of the state they put in american comic books and movies the theme of a world led by the corporations is nothing new because the state is going to withdraw even in battle which concerns military and intelligence affairs those who
2:45 pm
make the corporations will be progressively more capable of producing events which events that can result in a war after all and the last wars fought in the middle east the importance of troops that back in the day would have been called mercenaries and at present are called contractors is evident sort anything before god you know where nowadays the war really has an asymmetrical dimension it seems like what i mean is that war is not a clash between two different armies. is more a clash between two different well it's not fair to a certain idea or to deny something from the ahonen assertion and deny. are nowadays the inputs for the war. perhaps they may experience some interruptions where but to a large extent they carry on being the same wars. we have so
2:46 pm
nowadays there are three different approaches to war three different types of war which are firstly there is the classic war with an open frontal clash between two armies and so on. secondly there is the stabilization in the stabilisation war between countries just like with one of the opponents attempting to stabilize a country or an area and the other one to doing the opposite of the stabilizing factor. here and the third is the concept of war against terrorism a concept introduced in the last few years by the us government and then brought a classic war scenario such as the iraq invasion which is the proof of the intimate connections between these three different types of war rhetoric that he ought to support in the fight against terrorism the relation between the attacker and the defender is neither equal nor cement trickle it is unclear who is attacking and who is defending all the boundaries ethical spatial temporal and technological have
2:47 pm
vanished. nowadays an opponent using archaic tools like the taliban in afghanistan can seriously harm super advanced forces i mean this is really happening now to us british and even the tally and troops in that scenario. because one could. our weakness in the fight against terrorism consists of the fact that the terrorists specially the suicide bombers are ready to die while we aren't great to change due to this fact we already stored in a losing position. the second half were never so. let's take a person that is not afraid of dying down and another one that maybe is card of a voluntary military service because he needs a better wage
2:48 pm
a person that's how they went back home surrounded by comforts and another one that isn't scared of dying because he doesn't have anything to lose again a person with a strong ideology another one considering the battle as an ordinary job if you eat out well when the physical clash begins one of them will surely experience more troubles the sequel. will. not only different motivations different technologies different tools but also a different idea of what the war is to make this phenomenon of the war for not going to be highly on balance. and balance not in favor of the stronger side but in favor of who has less to lose.
2:49 pm
it's let me keep. up the al qaeda does not need to exist we are using these terms and in negative way reinforcing the al qaeda ideology. it gives us this products of death products under the al qaeda brand because it works exactly like a super market and. agency or any other economic entity that wants to be recognized under that particular brand. that you know what causes the real damage is not the terrorism itself the real damage comes from us from our fear of terrorism. if you look into the terrorist attacks that we experienced this may sound incredible but the number of casualties it appears so great to us is still well below the casualties caused by car
2:50 pm
accidents during the normal weekend for example. nevertheless the real strong impact comes from people's reactions to terrorism the economic damage the obstacles to our a possibility of freely traveling and so on and. everything that affects our daily life is damage that we create ourselves it doesn't come from terrorism crash really good that we are more afraid of the things we are told rather than of the real happenings. of lee find out that the most important war is the one made for the media. this invasion nowadays it's not information warfare limited exclusively to some professionals it will be about how this information warfare is fought by everyone
2:51 pm
it's this warfare that around the year two thousand lebanese and be israelis used the for the israelis couldn't stand the images broadcast by hezbollah's website and so they decided to shut it down and have been able to rescue those who were calling for help that the hezbollah then decided to repay this with a denial of service attack locked up block their servers comply. really the lack of at that point we discovered that the hezbollah have the same capabilities as the israelis they can attack the tell me of exchange they can hit the knesset or the bank of israel in a war that can be never ending. i could get one of the principles that are important is to always keep in mind that when we talk about communication the first one to arrive has a huge advantage. to relate.
