live and self-proclaimed independent possible blend their barricades into the scenery part of everyday life. full next to the u.s. and muslim world relations are in focus as r.t. talks with former cia officer and now historian michael sure that interviews next. 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 eyes in 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 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 in islam make

enemy that washington believes is out to kill us because we have elections because we're free because we have women in the workplace is an enemy that doesn't exist that didn't exist when bin laden was alive it doesn't exist now america is being attacked because of its foreign policy 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 in israel itself as a country is not the problem the real problem margin 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 all the wars in absolute. they're absolutely dragging us in iraq

was a war that was proffered was called for mainly don't 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 their mindless pursuit of secular democracy at the end of the day and 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 syrian opposition we certainly worked with the syrian government pulls 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's security goes straight down if the regime 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 israel is real

attacks iran 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 in 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 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 head 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 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. 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 littlest 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 pledged to be deployed new bases are being built what do you make of such expansion the ignorant 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 some. 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 and more enemies in the islamic world it's it's it's it's it's a contradiction it's it's a let me having to say 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 you would you say let them like let him 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 and 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 chances of most independent. and most of the. places a conflict of interest today an average cancer drug prescription costs nearly one thousand six hundred dollars a month. nobody with cancer and therefore i predict. because

hello there welcome to the sports. company again this hour coming up in the program . one win away from the a.t.p. world to funnel job will for him go. round matches in paris. joining europe stronger and more from our series featuring. it's in the spotlight. preparing for a big team creation arrives in turkey to get the fight for a place in the euro twenty twelve. it's been confirmed that the second stage of the longest serving russian premier league season will kick off on the eighteenth of november so grouped by comprising the top aides regular season teams match day one will see defending champions. exposed in st petersburg second place have

a tough question had been visited are not wild. and they come out if it's also on that. every team will play each other with a chance. in may. group be the relegation half of the table starts off like a rest stop detain the team who finished. take on spot. against while play on card game because it too will also be played in the fund before the teams have their winter break the championship then resumes in spring on the. russian president has been setting out why there was such a drastic switch in the premier league for much 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 going to two month summer break for the next this is them allows us 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 calendars too. in the meantime they call it won't play a round for euro twenty twelve should begin this week among riders for fixtures the clash between turkey and creation is the one that looks most thrilling the first leg due to take place in a single way gracious in the legislation but it has to travel without injury and loudon patridge but the likes of top and playmaker look at moderate and line medics strike that if it's all it's set to take part of the action this encounter will be a repeat of the euro two thousand and eight quarterfinal meeting with turkey 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. but joe will fritz and guy has moved closer to securing a place at the a.t.p. world tour finals a straight sets victory over glared. at the paris masters their home favorite spent one hour and forty minutes on beating the spaniard six three six four finished in the next round so gun it's a bit of a winner of a moderate stepping out of the bookies ticket for the season ending finale in london which starts in less than two weeks time. yeah of course it's through the important because the end of the tournament. the qualification of the. player i will play well and i will work. thomas but it is also one win away from qualifying for the london tonnage after claiming at six break seven five victory

over spanish then out of the dusk of the second round so when the third well done to the track a place in the top right. now so our job is now reached round the came stanislas for anchor of switzerland and a freesat american playing back from a set down to play a nice six seven seven five seven six victory in two hours and fifty seven minutes up next as pressures bigger connects. another french parish august vaster into the next round after beijing south african kevin anderson another break in the opening sat last saying take it comfortably six four that run into a tie breaker in the second right just a roach is like i have it to the ice now as we continue the profiles of plops this time around spain to the small stock and settle for proud to say team that just joined europe's strongest league this season they.

should. have the. lead agency looked like they would clap and from the pride of hockey all rocking and rolling with the best in europe strongest leads to deal with job in a small city of call for a joint to gauge this isn't formally grown from a couple of the border left to move this remark you hear the cheering on school grounds you see she wouldn't allow them to do in the future. the lines haven't found the best of starts grading just the wheels on the joint q. gave. one of the probable reasons for being not only there but the root. the team themselves have had to get used to new ways to pull for the lean on this most ice rink usually

a little just but then but it's still more comfortable for us to play on big rinks like in russia just three of our players used to the small rink we have here the others have to adapt to our home arenas as soon as they do we'll hopefully start winning more with a weekend or not there is no lack of support here as the stadium is always packed down with fans passionately supporting their new idols we have like almost sold out every game. and. straight for the fans you know right for the. all the slovakian people and yeah from for the check people down because a lot of a lot of people from czech republic again and they come and see them love these the nazis the players only said they were booed for advice to slow expand chances in vienna chilled and play a couple of beers with similar style indicates you have to be much better life played played with your friends against against a russian team was on that flight

a little bit about play and may have some money but on a saucer you have to be safe you have to skate skate skate if you don't stand because they don't skate you take poking around all day and stuff like that other starmen in rugby muhlach squad include martins through box and kept. both players knew exactly what it takes to compete at the top level all the way still 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 and we have to build our club we have to get maybe a few couple new players you know at the level that they played before you know the cage challenge so they can you know add a little more experience our club and help the young kids too. you know i doubt to this level and i think like i said if we're going to be patient i think we're going to see you see some good things coming out of the corporate minds maybe still far

from being done with the bill there is no denying all aboard hunger just the match winning why it's needed now regarding your own party blueprint cinemark you. to the hardwood now where the current and bay season remains under threat as players and officials once again failed to reach a compromise but like a star derek fisher believes there is 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 in the business tomorrow. now
