now at two thirty pm here in moscow you with our breaking news for you this hour nato troops use tear gas to disperse crowds of serbs refusing to dismantle barricades on cause of those northern border all of this as ethnic tensions flare up once again troops removed from the roadblocks that have been mounted since the summer of one authorities from controlling the dominated area. moscow warns it could deploy missiles on the borders of the e.u. and pull out of its nuclear deal with the u.s. if washington pursues its defense shield in europe the white house says it will go

ahead with its plans. thousands of gyptian stepped up their demands for an end to the country's military rule with live bullets fired a crowds of people remain now interest squares for the six day rest. to stay with us if you can hear next on r.t. we talk to a former u.s. state department spokesman who shares his thoughts about what challenges lie ahead for people in countries where the regimes toppled military crowley gives his take on washington's policies in the middle east and northern africa that is right now. and your times in the state department is how hard it was to explain to the people that the u.s. brings peace and democracy with its interventions as in reality it is the struction. look you know i believe earnestly in the

best of intentions of u.s. policy a stable peaceful prosperous middle east is in everyone's interest there's no question that the united states with the best of intentions intervened in iraq in two thousand and three we were out really understanding not only what was going to happen inside iraq we thought it would be easy inexpensive quick and those judgments were all profoundly wrong. understanding that even in the intervention one of the big winners for some time was iran and a resurgent iran had implications within the gulf and across the bloc broader region certainly was not something that united states wanted to see happen so the interventions were. under the best of intentions they have produced significant

gains but they also have had unintended consequences that obama administration didn't recognize coming in not everything the united states did work in fact many things united states did did not work so you have to step back and say but yet in spite of all these mistakes is iraq better off today than it was before i think the insurrections goes those united states share that responsibility yes but not alone i mean there are people even today who are attacking a legitimate iraqi government and their institutions because they were the group in power ten years ago and now they're not they also have a responsibility iran has faced and the launch of unfounded accusations recently of a plot to kill a saudi ambassador pushing ahead with reducing nuclear weapons etc thoughts p.r. campaigns a family to war. i we seeing iraq scenario on all their ice and.

there's no question that there's a competition going on there's been a competition between iran and the united states ever since the revolution so it's a thirty year competition but there's also a competition between iran and saudi arabia for for regional ascendancy in and around you know the gulf some of this is playing out in syria and so this is playing out directly in the gulf in the increasing tensions between iran and saudi arabia so how much would a strike on iran cost thing to me well. this is not about the american economy this is about the global economy and we've seen in recent months you know whether it's libya or somewhere else the market the energy market is very responsive to increases in tension so there's no question that that energy markets would spike with any potential prospect of military action against iran and its u.s.

challenge but it's also a global challenge and how severely the u.s. economic problems undermine its ability to protect its globally well you you project power in support of your national and international interests which includes. the economy so so that this is this is where it it's easy for someone who's running for president to say oh yeah let's let's strike iran it's harder to then understand across the board will a military strike be successful. it very difficult to see how a military strike it might retard an iranian nuclear program it is not likely to stock and. you also will a military strike. would that. increase the tension and fisheries to do exist within iranian society between the regime. and the people who

don't like the regime very much or would actually drive the them closer together so you really have to look at this in a truly strategic way and that's why for the moment cooler heads recognize that the answer is political and economic pressure while leaving the military option their us as an option but recognizing that that comes with very profound costs what are the prospects that this military i mean everyone recognizes the danger of iran going nuclear and it's not just about iran if iran crosses the threshold and gets a nuclear weapon how does that change calculations by a saudi arabia a turkey and egypt someone else do they then. feel they have to have their own weapon here everyone recognizes the last thing that you need and the region has a nuclear arms race you know the world is trying to lead the world is trying to imagine happening in a way i mean we have other nuclear countries and we have israel that no one's

talking about it actually the movement is actually going the opposite direction i mean we not withstanding the emergence of a pakistani or a north korea you've got many many countries around the world who know how to build a weapon of cho so not that that is the optimal you know stabilizing situation so so the fact that iran feels that it has a right to pursue nuclear energy that he does have that right but it also has an obligation to show the international community that it's not pursuing a weapons program at the same time iran is the only country within the n.p.t. of a nonproliferation treaty that has failed to convince the international community that while it has a civilian program it is not also pursuing a weapons program for political reasons maybe let's move on he can tell us is. just enough to play magically ends economically to manage the consequences of the

turmoil in the arab states that's largely responsible for i don't think you can say that anyone today is managing what is a remarkable transition but these transitions are evolving in very different ways you know country by country by country so do you think the world should be concerned up the. islamic extremists coming to power in the so-called arab spring well i think that that is a that is a longer term danger in the short term. these you know take take egypt for example there is an open process underway. a group like the muslim brotherhood that has said a long tradition within egypt with a pretty good political and social structure and laws that are going to out of the world will likely do very well in the in the upcoming parliamentary elections.

i think what's very important is people in the region have to be patient if people become impatient and then become violent yes there are put this potential that spoilers including a resurgence of al qaeda you know it is it's possible i mean that that's the other remarkable thing about the region you know al-qaeda has been a non-factor thus far this year was remarkable in egypt as you know it took longer for al qaida to produce a video message supporting the protests that took the protesters to overturn the mubarak government you know it's remarkable. and so so we can be hopeful but clearly if things go wrong if new governments fail to deliver there is the prospect of ever transshipments very very very real possibility a lot of talk about. being part of the. uprising the radicals say whatever you want to call it and lead again we'll see i do think that libya has the ingredients to be

successful even under cut off the it was a it was a society that. modernizing sort of. the real question is can everyone come together and see that. that's given legitimacy to well. but there have been elements there have been individuals and small groups associated with al qaida that have you know that are in libya or have emanated from libya there's a very definite libyan strain to al qaeda. but but as an organized force i don't i don't necessarily see just what the obviously al qaida in the magreb is that they are could they try to take advantage of of a failure in the transition in libya absolutely could absolutely could.

fate of the second player place will be decided in two weeks' time between chelsea and valencia. but you know. it's a game at stamford bridge and we expect that's our responsibility and i want to leave the fans. to muck about our task on moscow claimed second when the other shall go east of the russians have increased their record to six games and booked a place in the relates to sixteen percent but of course they got for us. six time euro league champions to have their eyes sand on cleaning back their crown at a disappointing last season and they won the christopher and in top form with five straight wins while the visitors. at the top of group b. moreover the greens have managed only two wins against the army men over the last decade the game states very tight in the fourth quarter and just a boy in separated the teams as it ended however in the second series car took
