schools of the regime's troops. british firms lined up to exploit libya's oil and gas reserves with lucrative contracts on off both from the national transitional government foreign investors have been queuing to reap the rewards of war since the ousting of former dictator thing. the consequences of the recent events across the arab world indeed this year have been deeply felt internationally of course russia has long been against military action when talks instead ask for peace or next we hear from a man who served at the very heart of russia's global diplomacy. mr primakov thank you very much for coming here a lot has been happening in the world recently iran and israel for example have

been exchanging very harsh words recently while there may be nothing you know about that israel seems to be driving itself into some sort of self isolation should we expect any and reasonable steps from israel no i think you're right in saying that it's israel which is driving itself into international isolation and that shows in many ways one of perhaps the most dangerous as it is the escalation of tension around and even preparations for an attack on iran this is a very dangerous and other aspect of the isolation is that israel the government of israel in its fight for the status quo is pushing the palestinians to assert themselves as a state in various international organizations they've already succeeded in you know scope it's also it's up to isolation for israel to accept public opinion against israel and then the other situation you probably remember the incident with psychos if you microfilmed it wasn't working they were rather unflattering comments from both sides regarding israel and everyone else but the embassies are so cozy

who said netanyahu was alive but obama said and i have to deal with him. so obama was no more flattering about netanyahu and sarkozy was all this i think goes to show that israel's policy is not right in my opinion totally wrong if you will it is an associate. so you do admit that it is possible that israel may attack iran who says. yes unfortunately i do i really hope that it never happens because this may lead to very dangerous consequences which some say that the usa is. just waiting for iraq to restore its oil production capacity to start supplying oil to the world market after which the usa will clear israel to attack. us not quite correct if there's ever a strike on iraq i think that around will be everything to gain control of the situation in iraq and nobody knows how events in iraq are going to develop afterwards right now around had greater authority and influence in the shia

community just as it says that you've said that israel has gradually been losing a significant part of itself once it broke its connections with turkey and egypt we all heard what president sarkozy and obama said about prime minister. moreover they're experiencing a local economic crisis what role do you see israel playing in the future. i believe the best role for israel is to have the kind of leader that it used to have historically like the prime minister who supported peace and was killed a leader who would find a compromise settlement with carlist out of syria it's important i mention syria as this is a matter that cannot be resolved palestine or. do you believe that the fundamental problems of today's israel why would that country's authorities. i certainly do it's also a matter of public opinion of course but the matter can change to the present arab spring for instance it's absolutely obvious to me that it broke out in tunisia and

egypt without any external preparation i don't share the opinion of those who believe it's been stirred up by americans or europeans and so on it was a spontaneous outrage a rebellion if you want a revolution as some put it but what's the health care here and what future implications will it have and why i say that americans if their approach to be arab states are combining their willingness to protect their national interests to its region with a certain romanticism with one has to be are immensely to believe that a western democratic model could be transferred to an arabic country if that's what they really want to do more of all this so. a summons marci are incompatible it's not just a matter of islam it's also a matter of traditions and historical experience religion and mentality you cannot just export revolution or democracy to another country in this sense they're similar to truscott as he was they believe that they could just bring revolution to a country in spite of its local conditions even when it's situation wasn't suitable for at all the forces in charge of israel should be able to assess the situation

soberly and to understand the danger of extremist activity is of any kind they should be willing to find a peaceful solution based on a compromise with palestine and then with syria is possible to reach a compromise in all very it came to issues israel's security should certainly be discussed and backed with certain activities it could be done but most importantly what's been stopping this from happening on the one hand it's the position of the israeli leadership that's been striving to consolidate the status quo on the other hand the americans have been reducing their activity in this matter which is quite comprehensive as they want to take time out for the electoral period this time pre-election doesn't encourage the us presidents to work actively on the middle east settlement issue this pause on the part of americans is well grounded from their point of view this is a dangerous you know. it is very dangerous because as we've mentioned in the beginning there's the possibility of an israeli attack on iran and the trends that have been developing could result in

a strong escalation of the pressure. was so it's. there is also the subject of the arab spring and you said you don't believe there had been any external influence. no that's not what i said i said i don't believe it could all that it was spurred by an outside influence at the start and that the end and then of course there was influence you could see it with your own eyes in libya and in other countries i was in washington at the moment when events in egypt or again and it was huge turmoil there i talked to madeleine albright and other of my thick skull eggs and they were quite taken off guard by the developments in egypt because mubarak used to be a pro western roller he had always done what they had thought was right he was against terrorism and extremist islam ism the americans are still trying to gain control of the situation and retain a position which they used to have and which will give them a foothold for the future it's wrong to think it was america who overthrew the baraka or the two museum president. mr primakov what looks most terrifying to

me is the fact that and all those countries and egypt and libya and in tunisia we now have muslim extremists in power when it's so simple that no this isn't true you're wrong about that first of all it's a conglomerate of forces and i think that we can't be talking about a complete triumph or is a best way to news you know egypt has begun to win some seats in the parliament perhaps even more than expected but we should keep in mind that various muslim organizations evolve with time the muslim brothers for example are not the same organization anymore as the one that wanted to overthrow will kill nasser some time back with the muslim brotherhood is different and of course there are extremists amongst them at the same time though i think that all this power of spring that has had an effect on the islamic organizations as well because traditional islamic organizations which it is here in egypt to become more moderate than ever. with a bullet so it's a positive influence. is positive in this respect there's

a new craziness and a look at the party the muslim brotherhood is creating in egypt they've announced that even christians can join the party at the same time they're not talking about abolishing secular state and. reducing sharia norms into social and political life nobody's talking about it. but the new leaders in libya have declared that they are going to build a new state based on sharia law is it possible well some people might say that in libya libya is not egypt after all first of all the americans and all of that matter still haven't analyzed it and he did nothing forces and see what they're made up of this is just plain unprofessional after all it might have been some democratic group there displeased good ethic but mostly there are tribes you say. so you think libya is not going to become a fundamentalist islamic state. nobody knows when libya is going to recover from its chaos look at iraq for example is more than eight years old and we still can't

stabilize a situation the t.v. never stop supporting new casualties fifteen thirty every day in iraq explosions and so on we haven't so regularly that people used to. think this is normal but it's chaos over asia a half years ago ok patients have been nothing they could do in libya it's going to be tough for you so i don't think they've had much success in libya. according to levada sunder survey twenty five percent of russians believe gadhafi was killed for knowing too much well at any rate the us media wrote that washington had discussed various actions regarding i don't think the temptation of his life amongst others the best of the finally we've been watching syria and it looks now like the un rest has receded and an election is coming up do you think when this election happens russia are all a side can remain in power. you do if i think in the case of a fair election he can remain in power and not many people actually think about the

curiosities of these events in the two countries libya syria the arab spring started with armed resistance to an existing regime and i want to stress the armed fact the question is who. i gave them out therefore i don't think everything is that simple in relation to either syria or libya when i said earlier that those events were not prepared or interfered with from within i rather meant egypt and tunisia this certainly includes both train home to the united states fifth navy fleet pity don't need any unrest there. can we say those currently syria has avoided the threat of military intervention by nato and so on should go we should we i believe so i don't think the west is prepared to take this action now without the security council backing i think we're smarter now than at the time when the first security council resolution was adopted we will not adopt another resolution using vague terms which could be used to legitimize the base activities so i really don't think this is happening furthermore we currently is very unlikely to support

a very important part of it without them we wouldn't have achieved our good results the odds have shortened on the n.b.a. season not taking place this year after players again rejected the league's latest financial offer calling it quote extremely unfair the players' union now threatening to bring their concerns to the courts. a lot of individual players have a lot of things personally a stake in terms of their careers and where they stand right now they feel it's important we all feel it's important to all of our players not just ones in this room but our entire group. we not only try and get a deal done for today before the body of n.b.a. players know insidiously over the next decade and beyond so going forward the collective bargain prices will not be the way that as players this process continues for us and we will allow our legal team to really lead the charge. and
