ouster. moscow rounds on the west accusing it of provoking violence in syria some states call for the opposition to avoid dialogue with the government for now violence between protesters and government forces continues unabated. and the new is center right leaders take the helm in madrid inheriting record unemployment of over twenty percent growing debt levels for the spanish people have expressed little faith that the fresh faces will bring a much needed change. next year an arty and american not counterterrorism expert explains to us here why he thinks the u.s. is stoking and losing the war on terror. america's war on terror is been going on for ten years now there seems to be no end
7:32 am
in sight some experts saying here is that actually reading about work i'm joined by counterterrorism expert. ross the man who wrote a book titled bin laden's legacy why we're still losing the war on terror why it's a great thing i mean your whole book is about it just give us some key points about why you think the u.s. is losing the war on terror i think the main thing to look at is the u.s. is capacity to stop terrorist attacks as well as its resilience in the face of an attack compared with the enemies of realty to strike the problem isn't that our qaeda has become more potent it's not clear that our club has been significantly weakened but it's not clear it's become more potent the problem is that the united states has been significantly routed over the course of the past decade the economy is of course in shambles with the massive national debt now not all of that is by any means attributable to the fight against al qaeda but more of it is that a lot of people realize including the massive cost of the iraq war the way that the
7:33 am
instability that was spurred by that helps drive up oil prices helps drive up the national debt as well as direct budgetary outlays and the opportunity costs the inability after the economy crashed in two thousand and eight to deliver another stimulus package because a lot of this money already been spent when you look at all of that and we look at how does call that out of the eight hundred by the united states i think the conclusion is not that there are that it destroyed america but they did more effective in underbody there at a music to be that a lot of people would like to believe well you're saying the terrorists have defined their strategy is bleeding the united states to bankruptcy and they have some claim succeeded in many ways let's talk money a little bit more why do you think the decade long wide against terror has been such a blow for the americans i think that would look. the return on the investment it's not a great return on investment a lot of the counterterrorism apparatus and policies have been distracted not totally i mean i think that doing nothing is also not an option but the key error
7:34 am
was the war in iraq which diverted resources away from afghanistan gormless amount of money. give us a standing in the world beyond that the counterterrorism apparatus that had been erected is a very inefficient. there's so many different secret program said so many different cooks in the kitchen it's difficult to have any one individual who can determine that there's not duplicated effort this also means that not only are author of the iraq war but also our defenses are expensive guy i think this is what he does and it can be fixed which is exactly what this is a clarion call for that we need to understand a situation where it had moved beyond it you know what comes to mind is. the soviet union the war in afghanistan has. it so badly back in the eighty's you know it very much contributed lessons to be very well this is
7:35 am
a lesson that did not and put it to a multiple occasions osama bin laden had been part of the anti soviet resistance originally as a humanitarian worker in pakistan and then eventually went to the battlefield and got so caught up with that that he ended up leading a team of arabs who fought against the soviets inside of afghanistan you know they were pretty incidental to the fights there are far more afghans there were arabs in any given point inside of other afghanistan fighting the soviets but to this was kind of the parity that it failed of how you get a superpower by training them that the afghan soviet war brought down the soviet union and i think it's not entirely clear historically that it did. especially if you did get it it's it's not entirely clear what kind of battle has historians have mixed views on this given that you by the age of eighty six the afghan war cost
7:36 am
about three billion dollars. will look set to lots of oil export money as well as grain shortages within the soviet union the annual price tag on those far the worth the afghan soviet war but if the afghan soviet war was a significant contributor it was precisely by grinding it down in that one theater and thus making it an evil for the soviet union to adapt to other crises that it faced so i think there are definitely a lesson to me there's a lesson in the first instance because this is precisely how billard views fight against the united states which means that wouldn't when your enemy is so intent on your economy one thing you have to do is make sure that you don't fall into that trap and the second lesson is that even if expenditure isn't a massive part of your budget it can have an impact and as i said the impact of the
7:37 am
afghans if it were i find to be historically if i further could be a historical question mark but what is indisputable is it certainly didn't help the soviet union and the amount of money that the u.s. has spent overall of the war on terror. even when adjusted for inflation is because much more in terms of sheer quantity in the soviet union spent in afghanistan ok let's look at america's are the worst ones that had nothing to do with nine eleven of course i'm talking about iraq first of all why spend so much money there is because the u.s. this rage that it doesn't know how else to spend the money or there for us that the words will eventually pay off i don't think there is an expectation that can be a monetary gain from the wars i don't think that these rewards of avarice rather i think that the u.s. quite simply underestimated what was going to happen when the. at the lead up to the iraq war and give a very good vibe that there could have been political spin to try to make it more sociable to the public but when one looks at the leader the estimates given for how
7:38 am
much it would cost were rather destitutes you had officials talking about how the reconstruction of iraq could pay for itself that iraq could sell oil on the market naked dance the road reconstruction so it is i think that people just didn't go for see what ended up happening in terms of this massive insurgency taking hold it's the law of unintended consequences that particularly would you have an enemy in a certain area you have to be weary that whatever action it of taking in other theaters specially one that could attack attracting jihad which was known in advance that could end up snowballing and end up backfire against you and that's what happened in iraq ok let's take media and as a campaign related to terrorism because those who do in any way contribute to training the us economically or is it just the war on terror that i believe that
7:39 am
libya does quite obviously i think actually it's much it in my view as someone who had opposed the libya intervention from the outset i think it's actually much worse because in fighting against terrorism at least you're fighting against people who are trying to destroy the patriot and he killed american citizens whereas in libya it was entirely based on humanitarian intervention now there are different views of liberal humanitarian intervention but i think that given the economic context that we have in it and it era of severe austerity we need to be very hesitant about undertaking such an operation particularly given as i said before the law of unintended consequences when one looks at the situation in libya prior to the beginning of the veto campaign in my view. there was almost no strategic interest at play because small market off he was not supporting terrorist groups small rocket off he was not giving up his weapons of mass destruction program this
7:40 am
doesn't mean that i'm. sad to see him go he was a terrible ruler he was a brutal dictator and he certainly would have killed a lot of people you know he probably would have killed far more people had did not started bombing the country but to me one of the sad reality is the twenty first century is that there will be humanitarian crises that the international community is powerless to do anything about and you know in six months or a year we'll have a much better idea of how from a strategic interest perspective the intervention in libya has gone you have already concerns that some jihadi got their hands on surface to air missiles as part of khadafi its arsenal you have certainly concerns about violent islamists being able to leave prison during the chaos and there's the possibility that could a few loyalists will be able to mount an insurgency all of which you know a year from now could make what's going on look a lot worse in retrospect i hope that doesn't happen but i certainly am concerned
7:41 am
and our recent history doesn't really bear out that we're very good at cleaning things up toppling the regime the less is quite clear is always the easy part back to the fight against extremists in your book you suggest ways to build resilience among americans to you know face possible that what they're out overreacting can you expand a little bit on that or what ways are you suggesting resilience is particularly important but it serves multiple purposes not just defending against terrorism but you we just have been beset by multiple natural disasters including the hurricane and earthquake and the like you one thing i put forward that will help to build resilience is basically incorporating individual citizens. into how. the community or a state would react to a terrorist attack or to battle disaster there's a community of emergency response team model in phoenix arizona that i think is
7:42 am
particularly good mr guard this is something that helps citizens to be less afraid and also to feel like if something goes wrong they can play a role i think it's important to build not just. resilience in terms of infrastructure but also psychological resilience so that we're not sitting here afraid of what happens but we understand that if something bad happens we can play a role in fixing it and good terms of helping fellow citizens i think that without going to war without waging wars in other countries well look first of all wars sometimes necessary often enough i think that for example in afghanistan. the united states had to dislodge the talk about machine that was supporting giving them sanctuary the rock where obviously i don't agree with nor the war in libya so so resilience is not something that becomes the end all and be are but i think
7:43 am
it is it's an important part of what we do in the twenty first century because you're not going to there's no guarantee that terrorism can ever struck again thank you. and journey the length of life. the desire for the best of things. our inner world. the story of one man who returns whom after years of alienation. amongst white
7:45 am
sick. but headlines on odds he protesters demanding egypt's military leadership step down immediately agree to fight to cast out. a rubber bullets in the revolutionary tahrir square officials say at least thirty five people have already been killed since friday in the largest demonstrations since february is uprising that ousted president hosni mubarak. must go rounds on the west accusing it of provoking violence in syria some state school for the opposition to avoid dialogue with the government for now ballance between anti assad protesters and government forces continues unabated. and the new center right leaders take the helm in madrid
7:46 am
inheriting record unemployment of over twenty percent and dropping that levels the spanish people have expressed little faith that the fresh faces will bring any needed change. like a now joins us next with the latest. thank you for joining me in the headlines. in love this town manager leonard slutsky acts involved in a love to make a living will turn against neil in the champions league. last on the double in one year or america's bracy spar taxing clawhammer to mail in the moscow darby we have all the goals from the russian premier league. clubs lifted right back to the former england captain helps l.a. galaxy win the m.l.s. title in what could be his final competitive appearance at the club. as the last
7:47 am
emperor to russian m.m.a. legend although you will be on jet monsoon dismissing the tour to set to retire and could face a rematch would probably see over the. first a football coach when his listeners says he has praised in returning strike the bargain i love ahead of crucial champions league clash with french side leo in moscow on tuesday before it has been suspended for the last two games in the russian premier league will leave the line for the army man and top scorer so you don't go begins a one match ban coach says love is as fierce as other and is hopeful the twenty three year old can regain his touch of not scoring for more than a month and win over the french side would see it as qualify for the knockout stage if turkish side clubs on or lose to group leaders into milan. wagner for a wagner love is a blue who's always in good physical condition it's best to form is usually
7:48 am
connected with his mental emotional state it's always hard to predict for which quality of sleep where you dream hard and i'm sure he knows about the responsibility of it here's a cute lunatic and i'm sure the world knew you cope with it my mind you i mean your well one man here is in fine form is spotlights and manual and then he scored both goals in his size to no victory over luck i'm ready for the must go down and i jerry a striker who scored a hat trick in the last encounter between the two teams also open this time for sponsors to twenty six minutes. and then double his tally with and minutes ago before the interval. was to know just how exciting spacek leapfrogging luck opens a fourth in the championship group the two mile excel the guy holding who saw what what proved to be the winner as did i was that kept up the pressure on the top two with a two one home win over coupon for some shots open for the home side after eighteen minutes and most of the second eight minutes later. well i just thought it right
7:49 am
there on the dial for the go back four down just inside the sponsors of shot the band's rudolph and that's to want to finish the band stay sevens while the one i was playing first live to within a point of second place the stands. now elsewhere among them off scored twice as our stuff came back to beat nine times three one we discover perhaps harshly to read after fifteen minutes but despite this actually and swiftly next time one lap i wanted to spot. but a second yellow card is just part of the break dance routine to tense it also down to our palm down to not only that but that challenge. and within three minutes of our stuff themselves were award. the spot kick. hands touch the right to keep one one. then with twenty to go.
7:50 am
made it to want him side. about last night's try to settle the final schools' three one. eight points from safety. now over england glen johnson scored a late winner against his former club as liverpool won two on a chelsea to go six in the premier league but some pressure on this manager and level of course the reds has the better of the first half of nazi war three guests lucky and after thirty three minutes chelsea improved after daniel sturridge came on after the break and he sings five level plans with three minutes of normal time left johnson after a fine solo run but if it was the third in four league games for villa leaving his side's twelve points behind leaders manchester city. well it's early days but there is growing speculation dutchman this hiddink could end up with
7:51 am
a role that chelsea where he won the f.a. cup interest doesn't mind as temporary knowledge of the former turkey and russia coach told r.t. he is looking for in these back into the game. in glowing terms about the emergence of russian side angy as a force in football the journalists who know him believe chelsea is the more likely option. what i know is that he and his wives go from there were a very good period in england said norman i do enjoy very much living being there so. i love chelsea there's a lot to do it tells you i think you have quite an old need to redevelop the team and that's i think that's. something he likes very much to do i think if abramovich wants him to do wanted to work for him i think he wants he will do it. and in the meantime david beckham helped l.a. galaxy win the m.l.s. title when they won their win over kristen dynamo in what could be his final
7:52 am
competitive appearance for the club to size match in the m.l.s. cup final on sunday and in the certainty first minute thirty six year old bracken and robbie keane combined something happened london drove them to school and we go back and did have a chance to catch a fairytale performance with a goal of his only not in time but it's great it was saved by tallyho victory there galaxy their first title since two thousand and five and back of the first piece of silverware in america in the final season of his five year deal his contract is due to expire next month but despite being lynched in paris sandra back and said he wasn't in a rush to make future plans. there's no rush said in a rush to decide what happens we don't all next weekend so we're going to enjoy that and enjoy this we. you know we worked hard to get to this point so we'll enjoy that and then kick back and enjoy the rest enjoy
7:53 am
thanksgiving looking forward to that. and then who's they. he's one of russia's greatest scientists and firms of mixed martial arts will be relieved to know whether. it's open to a time just yes the thirty five year old meets american jeff monson in law states around the three balance losing streak and often said he'll continue his career. for a decade or more from uncle sam. the first round action probably made the twenty two thousand in attendance believe this quite well and with a knockout any million in a paper that is however the battle tested better and jeff monster who by the way has never lost by way of a k o kept getting up each time the last emperor sent him to the canvas to everyone's surprise given the ngo did not pursue monson on the ground even once inviting the americans and white standing up perhaps that was the
7:54 am
only strategy that could have worked against the forty year old submission expert as the ballots what they entire distance of three five minute rounds and. i didn't want to take any risks because jeff is a very courageous and difficult fighter i wasn't planning on finishing him off on the ground because i knew how dangerous he is that and he could have taken advantage of and made the slightest mistake i worked very hard on making sure that i stand off doesn't end up in ground wrestling one wrong move and the result would have been very different this was you know getting close first ever and i may experience in moscow which certainly pleased the local crowd however there was one special fan and it sends a martial arts expert himself who probably doesn't say defeats lightly but the russian prime minister vladimir putin had no reason to be upset on the night as he and the rest of the sold out of the pick a read out which is the return of the last emperor. but by taxing this stuff at one
7:55 am
point as jeff mawson's face was bleeding profusely after he took several punches from felder though the american graphic specialist managed to continue the fight it was already obvious that he was badly hurt and that was evident in the aftermath of this bout when jeff monson had to be helped by his crew as he was leaving their arena but fielder human getting call was all smiles as you probably knew that his return to the summits of mixed martial arts is just around the corner his next bike is in the hands of his manager and and one global president but dean pinkel stein. we would be happy to arrange a rematch with a breezy over them and other opponents and we're working on that hopefully it will happen soon i cannot tell you the exact date yet but you have to understand that fighters like for receive over them are under contract with other organizations who are not our partners but times are changing and who knows perhaps we will get that opportunity. whoever feller is next opponents might be and where ever that bad
7:56 am
takes place it's already destined to be at celtic a draw and it's safe to say that you know the any goes next appearance is highly anticipated not only here in russia but across the atlantic as well room on cost artsy in moscow. finally to tennis where roger federer and rafael nadal made winning starts in the open group being as at the end of season world's top finals in london although both players have to work hard for their victories but there are the defending champion needed three sets to get past frenchman jo wilfried tsonga the thirty year old who was on a twelve game winning streak coming into this tournament and the first set six two his wife and french theory already enjoying his performance but tsonga who is up to six in the world rankings then stormed back to take the next set the same storyline well there was little between them in the decider but some got stumbled on his
7:57 am
thigh for down and federer took his chance. of that one gets the best eight players against each other and world number two rafael nadal was up against mardy fish and sunday's other group the match and all who is recovering from a stomach bug took the first set six two. but then he stayed on the baseline in the second and fish took the initiative back and started off to take that six three so it went to a decider which then went to a tie break and eventually run that seven three the start of the tournament is a round robin format with the top two players from each group before going into the summary finals monday's matches will see world number one over drug a bit much burdick and the murray will take on spain's tough itself. and that's all the sports news i think. the world. technology innovation all the developments
