long takes a toll on the. world. it's technology innovation all the latest developments around russia we've got the future covered. talk about this is all to recap of our top stories now a record number of egyptians turned up to cast their votes in his first parliamentary elections since the former president barak comes after ten days of tension and products more than forty lives. on that route step down immediately. for use in syria right spiraling inspectors were refused access to the country from eyewitness accounts as evidence comes as damascus also faces more economic

sanctions and the arab league. he's in control of natural ministers all set to meet the spine of debt crisis china's influence on congress is going to cost. companies so you can buy the continent's debt. over the arab world spending most of the year in turmoil talked to the director from the trans center for conflict analysis who believes despite the carnage in syria on the table and run up to egypt's first democratic elections the signs for the region are still positive. i'm joined by the coal executive director of the transformer center for conflict analysis based in berlin asked me at dr what are we thank you very much for joining me talking about egypt which seem is long gone but the protests are continuing the violence is continuing but at the moment there is still no condemnation from the

west whilst there is a very different approach when it comes to syria for example. first of all the mubarak is gone but the regime still there and this explains why the demonstrations and. the. dissatisfaction continue the supreme council of the forces there are very wary of elections happening now because they see alliance that is taking shape between the muslim brotherhood some remnants of the old regime and the supreme council of the armed forces and they're very worried that if elections are held now the results of the election would be a victory for this coalition and for them that would mean that the revolution would be hijacked the worst i believe understands the complexity of the situation is reactions are very sensitive about any intervention or interference in. from abroad

and i think the west especially the united states have learned the lesson of not intervening to prematurely or taking one side against the other there is now a level playing field in egypt the supreme council of the armed forces the power of the state behind them the people in. the power of the people behind them it's a very complex situation because. neither the supreme council of the armed forces the people. homogenised unified. it's social forces the muslim brotherhood it is an islamist oriented organization and we have cases now in morocco in tunisia or other islamist oriented organizations came to power what does this mean for the west and how meet we act if this tendency continues and spreads over into egypt also there is a trend of sunni islamic. revival

in the region what does this mean for the worst. of course. regardless of whether it will be islamic government of not in these countries. the new leaders will not be as. close to the west as the old leaders. of the mubarak's and the bin are leads and the good news this is gone don't forget that for example if you speak about islamic terrorism one of the reasons that people cite for the rise of islamic terrorism is the suppression of islamist politicians in these countries so when these politicians get involved in politics when they start playing the political game they will be a match for the west in the sense that there will be lots of challenges we'll

definitely take a firmer stand when it comes to some to look at israeli palestinian conflict they would not accept. western interference in domestic affairs but other than that it can be. a friendly mutually beneficial relationship if the west accepts the choices that the people will make in free and democratic elections which is the only thing that the west should do actually mubarak's regime is gone. in egypt that is when is the only however president assad's regime is still there in syria despite the melting international pressure there is the arab league now which is imposed this set of sanctions how do you see the situation developing there in syria. syria is even more complex than the case of egypt or tunisia or even libya syria sits in

a very complex web of alliances in the region. its relationship with iran. hezbollah. with turkey with the rest of the arab countries with iraq this almost impossible to envisage the continuation of the regime in syria as it used to i don't think that it can never be a return to the status quo ante in syria after the recent demonstrations. how will the regime change whether it will be a total collapse of the regime whether it'll be a partial transformation of the regime it's still unclear what is clear to me is that the more the violence continues the more we reach a point of no order to us far as the regime is concerned. if the situation

in syria gets more and more violent and more and more bloodshed is built i don't see how the regime could survive for much longer but at the same time i don't see exactly the way by which this regime will fall. it's still too early to say but it looks more and more likely that we are heading for a long. possibly violent struggle in syria how big are the chances of. intervention we're still so far away from such a scenario libya and syria are two completely different stories when it comes to the feasibility of a military intervention as i said. gadhafi had no real friends. syria. we have usually been serious still has

a lot of very powerful friends in the region also the nature of the way in syria libya are so different in libya talking about a very large country would be very. sparse population density of the population in libya i think is three or four persons per one square kilometer or worse in syria it's probably a thousand person per square kilometer the military intervention in the way happened in libya would be disastrous as far as civilian casualties are concerned and it's also not clear whether the west is in a mood to intervene militarily in syria in the same way it intervened in libya. but the again one wouldn't rule out completely such a scenario especially if the cost benefit analysis shows that without the military

intervention more and more civilians will be killed by the regime or that the country will slide into a violent and bloody civil war there have already been cases of sectarian violence in syria hell be that the chances of the country sliding into a sectarian rift this is this is a major fear for the syrian people and they look at iraq and they say we don't want to repeat in syria what we've seen happening in iraq before so it is of course a measure of risk that. the whole country would slide into a civil war that would have a secretary and ask to. just hope that this doesn't turn out to be the case it could possibly be the case. especially again as i said if the violence continues to get to a point of no return there's so much anger and violence commutes its own dynamics

let's hope that it doesn't get to the and somehow before things get to this point of motive and something would happen to allow this regime to withdraw. saving its face some which i guess is is very is a very important point as far as the culture and the character of syrians and majority of arabs is concerned saving face is very important there is no clear leader in the west approach on syria at the moment the united states is overstretched so i don't think that the united states would be ready to play that kind of role in syria if such were all. will ever be needed france the old imperial power may want to take the lead but probably that would be totally not more than that. turkey of course can play

a major role but it is not possible to imagine the turkey would have its own military intervention in syria without the support of the west and turkey has no interest in doing that so that's another complication facing the whole scenario of military intervention iran very powerful stable player it's not been slapped by another set of sanctions but who do the talking i don't think that iran is that strong as the west thinks it is. jeem. the legitimacy of the b.g. . is being told that. the sanctions it is not clear to me how effective the sanctions will be. probably targeting the top layers of the regime. intended to dissuade iran

from developing a nuclear weapon. but many voices which are saying maybe we need to. accepting the fact that iran will be a nuclear power at one point and we just have to live with it and of course fears coming from israel because of the rhetoric of. and of course this fear is justified but on the other hand iran. is a state with. institutions it is not a country that is dominated by just one madman and this is just. one way of. looking at it but of course the rhetoric of the judge is not helping but at the end of the. complex. scenario and i think that the sanctions. will probably not be effective in terms of changing iran's policy in case iran

really has a policy to acquire a nuclear weapon. which . watches you every single. and waiting for you to stumble. i saw a man with a video camera so i moved elsewhere. and he followed me some of them you know we realized there were following everyone from early in the morning. the only chance to get rid of him. is to reveal him. to me devil operation on our cheek.
