agrees to go silvio berlusconi will resign after parliament approves next year's budget cuts which the e.u. wires. up next iran the u.s. and muslim world relations are in focus as are t. talks to former cia officer and now historian michael sure. we're sitting down with michael scheuer the man who had served in the cia for more than twenty years up until two thousand and four at one time he was the chief of the cia bin laden unit then he went and exposed how counter affective washington's methods were in the fight against terror he looked at the u.s. through its enemies i see in fact it's the title of one of his books called through our enemy's eyes i'm very pleased to have the chance to interview you think enjoyer i'm glad to be here bin laden is gone who is washington's number one enemy now

washington's enemy is an enemy that doesn't exist we're fighting and an islam make enemy that washington believes is out to kill us because we have elections because we are free because we have women in the workplace is an enemy that doesn't exist or didn't exist when bin laden was alive it doesn't exist now america is being attacked because of its foreign policy in the in the muslim world because of its support for israel because of its support for the saudi police state because of its presence on the arab peninsula and until we accept that until americans can say to each other whether you support aid to israel or not our relationship with israel is causing this war we are not going to be able to defeat this enemy and israel itself as a country is not the problem the real problem marge is the leaders of the jewish american community in the united states who influence and corrupt our congress to support israel when we have no interest there imply that these three lobby is dragging the

united states into the wars. they're absolutely dragging us in iraq was a war that was proffered was called for mainly to let me ask you this the situation in the region in the wake of all these revolutions in the middle east and north africa yes you can pretty much describe it as turmoil. turmoil is no good for israel isn't there a contradiction to what you're saying well the the american political establishment is caught between two things they're extremely put pro israel and they're almost marxist in their belief that democracy in the spread of democracy is inevitable in all places and all peoples at all times and so they need to protect the israelis but they can't say what is a reality for example there is not going to be a democracy in tunisia or or or libya or egypt that in any way resembles democracy in the west and yet they what they've done is create anarchy they've created a situation where the only beneficiaries are the islamists the guns that have flown

out of egypt out of tunisia out of libya to the islamists have been enormous in their value and the prisons that were opened in egypt tunisia and libya have reinforced the islamist groups across the world so they're mindless their mindless pursuit of secular democracy at the end of the day in dangers the stability of the region and probably the whole world are you saying we're going to see further radicalization of the region always specially in africa yes ma'am the guns that are flowing out of the three places where there were arab spring revolts are going to cause problems in somalia across north africa and in nigeria let's talk about syria yes syria says the earth will start shaking if anyone intervenes in their internal affairs how badly does the u.s. is the u.s. trying to interfere oh i think we're interfering unconscionably. until they removed

the u.s. ambassador he was running around the country trying to encourage groups to overthrow the syrian government that is not the role of any diplomat united states or russian or chinese or british we have really very cold blooded lee urge syrians to get out in the street knowing that they're going to get shot down by their government. again syria is a country where there is no u.s. interest since i was a little boy we've been afraid of the syrians and if you look at the map it's hard to imagine that little blot a country called syria could be a threat to the united states the cia has reportedly worked with the syrian opposition for years well i'm not sure we worked with the syrian opposition we certainly worked with the syrian government olds well i guess yeah well then if that's if it's there it's there but our our relationship with the syrians is really a relatively unimportant one but again it's another very good example of the dichotomy in the thinking of american leaders because as we call for democracy in

syria if assad goes israel security goes straight down if the region becomes a complete mess doesn't washington see any dangers to israel i mean with iran involved it won't be pretty i think that's exactly right ma'am i don't know what the thinking is except that they have come down in on the belief that democracy is better for everybody in the truth is american and western foreign policy interests in the middle east have depended for fifty years on the maintenance of tyranny tyranny their pregame us access to oil tyranny that protected israel and i know in the last twenty years tyrannies that persecuted islamists to protect us all of that is going by the wayside and to the israelis credit the israelis are the only ones who have stood up and said democracy may not be very good for our security and they couldn't be more correct about iran what's washington's plan for iraq whatever israel's plan is for iran both. parties republicans and democrats are deathly

afraid that the israelis will attack them off their own hook and if israel is real attacks around the americans will get blamed for condoning it whether we did or not so i think what we're seeing is a slow almost inexorable advance toward some kind of a conflict with with iran what do you make of these recent accusations that the iranian government was trying to kill the saudi ambassador in washington. i am not in a position to know whether or not that the information was accurate when i was a young intelligence officer i worked against iran and lebanese hizbullah and i can tell you in the ninety's they were meticulous in covering their tracks in only using as agents of terrorism their own people the plot that was described by the attorney general of the united states is a comic opera. it was a mexican drug cartel and took her to believe that the iranians would risk war with

the united states israel and much of nato to kill a saudi ambassador who is not even part of the royal family that's hard for me to believe let's talk about libya libya is in ruins in the wake of nato bombing since brimming with weapons and al qaida flak was planted over a courthouse in benghazi yes how good of a playground is leap year for. people with a radical agenda very strong islamist presence in libya. since the war against the soviets in afghanistan libya has sent as many of its people to fight in those insurgencies the islamist insurgencies as any other country in north africa maybe outside of saudi arabia the libyan islamic fighting group. fought a long time against the soviets they fought against gadhafi a great number of libyans went to iraq into afghanistan to fight us and whatever strength the libyan resistance had in terms of military capability that came from

experienced islamist fighters so the idea that somehow there's democracy afoot that libya is just simply wrong to become of me i don't know if it could become a hotbed of terror but it can become a country that's decidedly anti american anti nato. it can be probably less a hotbed of terror than a country that is vastly unstable it seems the us is almost creating ground so for terrorist to surge and then goes out fighting that we see it in pakistan they've got the whole nation alienated because of the strikes a lot of people want revenge how efficient is that we are very efficient in this day and age in the last twenty years in creating enemies we're not very efficient in creating security for the united states we have the best educated population in the world and we have the people with the few little list amount of common sense. how many times have we heard mr clinton mr bush mr obama say this has nothing to do

with religion this is not a religious war this is a bunch of people who are just mad men we are definitely fighting a religious war and until we come to realize that we are never going to be able to defeat it in fact we're we're encouraging the growth of the next of a new generation of people who are going to fight us the you. yes it's pulling its troops out of iraq but at the same time boosting its military presence in the persian gulf more ground troops are pledged to be deployed new bases are being built what do you make of such expansion the inner it just demonstrates again the ignorance of the united states government in terms of its political leadership about what what what our problem is the muslim world the the key point of formation for al qaeda was the presence of u.s. military forces on the radio in these. fifteen years after they declared war on us we're now going to take people out of iraq and put them in kuwait and bahrain and

saudi arabia reinforcing our presence in the arab peninsula only going to cause us more falls and more enemies in the islamic world it's it's it's it's it's a contradiction it's ok let me ask you this if the u.s. pulls out out of everywhere yes is it going to be the end of terrorism it certainly would would deny the terrorists the glue of unity that keeps them focused on the united states if we weren't the main enemy they would be attacking israel they would be attacking the saudis they would be tagged attacking the moroccans the war would be and would you say let them like let me go to saudi let them go sometimes they say the chinese will come in i said let the chinese deal with these people for the next fifty years we've had enough of it but i think the point is the americans can't get out we're dependent on the saudis to maintain our interests in the world oil market and the saudis buy next to the chinese more of our debt than anyone else

so as long as we're side by side with the with the saudis and with the israelis we're stuck in the middle east that america will continue to bleed dr shaw thanks for the interview yes ma'am. nature and discover its beauty. communicate with the want to. test yourself and become free. see what nature can give you.

second place to have a clash had with wayne visits and there will be. played each other with. a. group relegation heart of the table. saying the team who finished. home. are up against great. game we will also be played in the fall the teams have that went to break. resumes in spring of march. has been setting out why there was such a drastic switch in the. main point being able to break for global international competitions during the summer. we made the switch to this new system because we had to plan our previous calendar around the world cup and the european

championships we would schedule a full calendar for one year going to two month summer break for the next this is to create a uniform schedule where there's always that two month summer break and there's a three month break in the winter and a two month break in the summer why not switch them around and bring it into line with the european calendar to do. it let me turn the call fun plouff rant for your twenty twelve should begin this week along for folks is the clash between turkey and creation is the one that looks the most thrilling the first leg to take place in istanbul where creations many just love ability to travel without danger and you can crunch and pat but the large soft top playing there to look at moderate and buy in munich striker are set to take part of the action they encounter will be a repeat of their euro two thousand and eight quarter final meeting with. gracious players they feel no fear in getting into this clash as soon as they can.

i'm also a bit impatient because i have had a long pause and am feeling so to speak a positive nervousness so the most important thing is that i'm feeling good and ready. thomas but it has moved closer to securing a place at the a.t.p. world tour finals that after a straight sets victory over for now the dusk of spain at the paris. but it is now one win away from qualifying for the world finals ac claimed a six three seven five victory over the second round so a round victory will guarantee the track a place in the top eight. over to the us now as we continue our profiles of clubs this time around are being too small so walk in city of corporate to see a team the joint europe's strongest late this season robert fatton out. place.

show me close play station plant bush listen to me age see learn like there clap anthem the pride of slow guys hockey are rocking and rolling with the best in europe strongest leads the team which are based in the small city of call for a joint ticket gel this isn't formally a club from across the border left to move to slim oculus year as the czech ice hole gasol cieszyn wouldn't allow them to do in the kitchen and the lines haven't had the best of starts claiming just that one wins out of twenty two games. one of the probable reasons for that being that not only their opponents but the routine themselves has had to get used to a new home depot for the arena the smallest ice rink in the league lucas but over a still more comfortable for us to play on big rinks like in brush up just three of

our players used to the small rink we have here the others have to adapt to our home arena as soon as they do we'll hopefully start winning more it's a win or not there is no lack of support here as the stadium is always packed out with plans passionately supporting their new idols we have like almost sold out every game. straight for the fans they are great for the. all the slovakian people at from florida check people down because a lot a lot of people from czech republic and. they come in i at least look nonces the players only surveil bill for advice the slow expand dances in then a chill and play a couple fears for similar stuff in the kitchen you have to be much better. played played with your friends against against russian teams down there for a really good play and they have somebody that i saw so you have to be. there to

skate skate skate they don't stay in because you don't skate you take cocaine penalty and sell a bad other starmen in rajamouli xcor include martin and kept. both players knew exactly what it takes to compete at the top level. yes we have a lot of young players like experience although it does not mean we are weak team we lost a lot of points that we could have secured but i believe we still have what it takes to make the players take simon and we have to build our club we have to get maybe a few new players you know at the level that they played before you know the cage fell so they can you know add more experience or club and help the young kids to you know adapt to this level and i think like you said if we're going to be patient i think we're going to see see some good things coming out of the corporate lines maybe still far from being indomitable there is no denying no more hundred is just

a match winning why it's needed now robert ford in their own party blueprint slovakia. in swimming five time olympic champion thought says he needs to shake off . supporting display at the world cup in beijing but there are certain has set thought in ended a world record isn't to worry despite london's olympic city being less than a year away. it's almost it's even think that you know you can return to the pole last night so i mean a lot for five years and expect to be winning things you know it wasn't my intention and these competition the series of competitions for me is kind of the first stepping stone of may getting back into this competitive mode you know really learning what it's like to be match fit and ready to ryse so you know so far i've been pretty happy. one of cricket's great is to lend his expertize to the melbourne

a potential compromise on our numbers or be our economics for some continued improvements in the system and without those improvements in the system we don't see a way of getting a deal done between now and business tomorrow evening. ok today i'll be back in time with more sports from around the globe for your weather is next stay with us. culture is that so much of the taxpayers' money i mean i see them a real pain in the euro crisis without and eurozone leaders and national governments continue to be a blogger heads on how to rescue a currency. download
