so berlusconi will resign only after parliament approves next year's budget cuts which i believe requires. next to iran the u.s. and the muslim world relations are in focus and 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 seem fact it's the title of one of his books called through our enemies eyes i'm very pleased to have the chance to thank enjoy or 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 war. 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 there are mindless there 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 remove

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've 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 and 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 his ribs 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 it 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 qaeda flak was planted over a courthouse in being caught so yes how good of a playground is leap year for. people with radical agenda very strong islamist presence in libya there. 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 is democracy afoot that libya is just simply wrong to become a. 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 u.s. is almost creating ground so for terrorists 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 it's boosting its military presence in the persian gulf more ground troops are plans 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 in 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 in

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 a contradiction it's so let me out and say this if the u.s. pulls out out of everywhere yes it's 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 tack attacking the moroccans the war would be they would you say let them like let me go listen 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 in america will continue to bleed dr thanks for the interview yes ma'am. in canada and the us that it is legal for you to use a bubble bath on your baby that contains a known carcinogen something that causes cancer most of the shines out of most independent they are sponsored by the industry and most of the time they don't claim it's a conflict of interest today an average cancer drug prescription costs nearly one thousand six hundred dollars a month oh my god i'm a nobody with cancer in my five therefore i protect focus because ninety to ninety

five percent of cancers occur among people with family history of cancer the pharmaceutical industry spends about fourteen percent of their budget on research and development and about thirty one percent for marketing and administration. in fact there are more pharmaceutical industry lobbyists in washington d.c. than members of congress. close a team has been to the bridge where technological breakthroughs save human lives. now she goes to the scene. little unusual ways to protect nature. where farming pioneers place local cuisine to the highest pitch. but where future developments depend on the way. russia's black sea coast should close up

on our city. he. says.

u.n. nuclear watchdog reports that iran could be developing the technology to produce weapons and its first public revelation of such claims the findings are raising worries that they might become a pretext for preemptive strike against iran. the standoff in northern kosovo between serbs kosovo and police finally draws you in attention partly to blame for the trouble the locals who don't want to live in self-proclaimed independent kosovo blend of their barricades into the scenery as part of everyday life. as the financial fall of rome looms closer the previously politically bulletproof prime minister finally agrees to go silvio berlusconi will resign only after parliament approves next year's budget which will be required. more on all of those stories coming up after the sports update with.

hello there welcome to the sports team thanks for joining us our top stories this hour. one win away from the a.t.p. world. tour in the third round match. joining europe's strongest more from our series featuring this song slovakia inside it's in the spotlight. and preparing for a big clash gracious arrives in turkey to give good feelings and fight for a place in time to talk. it's been confirmed that the second stage of the longest ever russian the will kick off on the eighteenth. so this is a compromising talk eight regular season teams match day one will see the finding chandra in. second place have

a tough question had with. his adama while. it's also on the. every team will play each other with crowns in my. group relegation hoffer the table starts off like this and to tell you the team will finish. taking sponsor terror against. game week fifty two will also be played in the band before the teams have their way to break the championship in spring for the third of march. russian football union president has been setting out there was such a drastic switch in the premier league formats his main points 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 system allows us to create a uniform schedule where there's always that to some a break since 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. and then turn the qualifying playoff round for your twenty should begin this week among others for fixtures that clash between turkey and creation is the one that looks most thrilling the first leg to take place in istanbul where gracious manager. has to travel without injured nick a crunch and unloved and patridge but the likes of top one play make a local moderate and buy in munich striker it's all of us to take part of the action this encounter will be a repeat of the euro two thousand and eight quarterfinal meeting with cirque a one on penalties gracious players feel nothing in getting into this clash as soon as they can. i'm also a bit impatient because i have had

a long pause them and i'm feeling so to speak a positive nervousness so the most important thing is that i'm feeling good and ready. joel for a single has moved closer to securing a place at the a.t.p. world tour finals that soft and straight sets victory over. at the paris masters the home favorite spent one hour and forty minutes on beating the spaniard six three six four finished in the next round so ghani to be the winner of the amargosa playing counter to this ticket for the season ending finale in london which starts in less than two weeks time. course it's through the important because the minimum. required. for the. world and i will work for. thomas but it is also one win away from qualify for the london tunnel went after claiming a six three seven five victory over the spaniards to not have

a dusk in the second drive so we in the third will guarantee the track a place in the top eight. also john is now reached round two overcame stanislas wawrinka of switzerland in a free sex survey american came back from i sat down to claim a six seven seven five seven six victory in two hours and fifty seven minutes next to him rushers bigger than it's. another frenchman russia guscott advanced into the next round after beating south african can understand another break in the opening set let him take it profitably six for doing take time from the second just brodie's luck. over to the us now as we continue our profile of this time around our teens painted a small so i can sit of corporate to see a team that joined europe's strongest league this season is robert fodder now.

show me such a good place to feel about the fish can you send. me a c. love like they're a club anthem the pride of sloth is hockey are rocking and rolling with the best in europe strongest leads the team which are based in a small city of call for a joint big h. l. this isn't formally a club from a called the boulder left to move to slim oculus year as a check on its whole gasol cieszyn wouldn't allow them to do in the kitchen the lines haven't had the best of starts planing just seven wins out of twenty two games. one of the probable reasons for that being that not only their opponents but the ruki team themselves have had to get used to a new home depot for the arena the smallest ice rink in the league a little just at all but it's still more comfortable for us to play on big rinks

like in brusha just three of all 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. weekend or not there is no lack of support here as the stadium is always packed out with fans passionately supporting their new idols we have like almost sold out every game. straight for the fans they are right for. all the slovakian people at my problem for the check people down by a lot of people from czech republic and. they come and say i have loved these the nazis the players only save a little for advice the slow expand dances in the n.h.l. and play a couple of beers with silver star in the kitchen to be much better. played played with the offensive against against russian teams around them for a little bit about play and may have somebody but i soon also have to be since we

have to skate skates cable they don't stand because siri don't skate you take cocaine penalty and sell a bed at other starmen in rugby rule exclude want include martins through box and kept. both players knew exactly what it takes to compete at the top level. for us we have a lot of young players like experience although it does not mean we're weak team we've 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 a couple of new players you know at the level that they played before you know the cage fellas so they can you know add a little more experience or club and help the young kids to you know adapt to this level and i think like i said if are going to be patient i think we're going to see see some good things coming out of the corporate blinds may be still far from being

done at the moment there is no denying our lord a hundred is just a match winning why it's needed now robert ford in their own marquee blueprint it's no walk in. to the hardwood now where the current and base is it remains and threats as players and officials once again failed to reach a compromise but listen just like a star jack fisher believes there's a chance of an agreement or orders are clear right now the current offer that is on the table from the n.b.a. is not one that we can accept. orders are also clear that we are willing to continue to negotiate and we are willing to continue discussions on a potential compromise on our numbers or be our economics for some continued improvements in the system. without those improvements in the system we don't see a way of getting to deal with them which we now and which was to mari. in swimming five time of thought says he needs to shake off more paul ross started supporting

there. and i the next sort of month started to really get into the bowling and doing all sorts things and involved in the melbourne stars was something that sort of excited me as something that we're going to try to start something new ok that's all the sports news for the moment the back into ice time with more for you there is next stay with us. question is that so much of the taxpayer's money i mean it was it yeah real mistreatment of the euro up crisis without any euro zone leaders and national governments continue to be a blogger heads on how to rescue a currency that. will. bring you the latest in science and technology from around russia. we've got the future covered.
