will resign only after parliament approves next year's budget cuts which the e.u. requires. next iran the u.s. and muslim world relations are in focus talks to former cia officer and now historian michael shore. 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 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 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 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 of 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 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 that 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 is written 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 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 yet 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 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 and nato. 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 planned 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 key point of formation for al qaeda was the presence of u.s. military forces on the radio in the. 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 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 tech attacking the moroccans the war would be and 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. the close up team has been to the region where technological breakthroughs save human lives. now archie goes to the sea. for unusual ways to protect nature. where farming pioneers place local cuisine to the highest pitch. and where future developments depend on the way. russia's black sea coast should close up on our t.v.

place. of a tough question i had with president obama while. every team will play each other in the. group relegation half of the table. saying the team who finished. sixth. spot. came we. played before the. break which resumes in spring of march the. president has been setting out why there was such a drastic switch. his main point being able to break for global international tournaments 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 then

a two month summer break for the next this system allows us to create a uniform schedule where there's always that two month summer break and 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 us into line with the european calendars to. in the meantime the qualifying player front for euro twenty twelve should begin this week among fridays for fixtures the clash between turkey and creation is the one that looks most thrilling the first leg due to take place in istanbul where gracious manager sloven village has to travel without injury crunch and loudon patridge but the likes of told them play america look at mortgage and buy munich striker it's all a chance to take part in the action this encounter will be a repeat of their euro two thousand eight hundred final meeting with circle a one on penalties gracious players feel nothing in getting into this clash as soon as they can. talk 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 justice but it. has moved closer to securing a place at the a.t.p. world tour finals stats after a straight sets victory over. at the paris masters they have favorite spent one hour and forty minutes on beating this planet six three six four finished in the next round so ghani to be the winner of a mugger setting counter to book his ticket for the season ending in london which starts in less than two weeks time. course it's truly important because the end of the tournament. there is the critical issue in the. final and. i will play well and i will always qualify for. thomas but it is also one win away from qualifying for the london tournaments after claiming

a six three seven five victory for hispanic fernando verdasco in the second round when the group guaranteed a place in which. is now reached round two i.c.l. became sinister scoring for its own inner cetera the american plane back from a set down to claim a six seven seven five seven six victory in two hours and fifty seven minutes next to him is russia's if you can it's. another frenchman advancing to the next round after beating south african kevin anderson another break in the opening set last intake it's comfortably six for one and to take time breaking the second half. over to the us now as we continue our profiles of catchall clubs they start being to the small slovak and city of poor pro to say team that joint europe's strongest league this season is roberts voted out.

place. show me such. place. to fish. he said to meet a sea lift like there are clap and foam the pride of slope is hockey are lucky in and rolling with the best in europe strongest leads the team which are based in a small city of call for a joint b.k. 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 planing just one wins out of twenty two games. one of the probable reasons for that being that not only their opponents but their routine themselves have had to get used to a new home depot for the arena the smallest ice rink in the league to do just that

over is 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 with a win or not there is no lack of support here as the stadium is always packed out with fans passionately supporting their new idols they have like almost sold out every game. straight for the fans they are right for the. all the slovakian people at my from florida check people down by a lot a lot of people from czech republic and. they come in if i am least of nonsense the players only surveil bill for advice the slow expand chances and then a challenge and play a couple of years was the worst in the kitchen you have to be much better. play played with your friends against against russian teams on that flight little bit of

power play and we have somebody put up a sign also we have to be seen we have to skate skate skating we don't stand because siri don't skate you take cocaine penalty and sell a bad other starmen in random rule exclude want 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're 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 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 shell 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 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 horrible their hunger is used to match winning why it's needed now robert ford in their own party blueprint slovakia. to the hardwood now where the current n.b.a. season remains under threat as place and officials once again failed to reach a compromise but. there's a chance of an agreements. our 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're willing to continue to negotiate and we are willing to continue discussions on a potential compromise on our numbers our 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 end of business tomorrow evening. now the cancer of
