a few new movements from phones stuporous. for instance on t.v. don't come. thank you for joining r.t. at half past the hour i'm karen tara with a quick recap of your headlines violence in syria flares up as the u.n. calls for a halt to all arms supplies from abroad meanwhile the geneva peace plan has highlighted differences within the opposition which its factions happen struggling to overcome. the new eurozone rescue fund is facing challenges and from within not even a week after it was agreed to a bailout plan has sparked anger in finland and the netherlands with a court challenge to germany. and america's hunt for julian the

psalms appears to be continuing while the whistleblower is waiting for atwood or to make a decision on his a solemn bid that says on a t.v. set to bring you the final episode of his interview show. up next as promised our interview what with author and correspondent martin shay with the middle east and focused on the volatile transition underway in the reach him. i. i'm sitting down with martin c. a veteran correspondent he's covered foreign affairs for many years one of his latest books is called the politically incorrect guide to the middle east he also wrote extensively about u.s. wash over the nations thank you very much for joining us to see if my pleasure i want to start with russia you wrote an article about the monkey needs to law the law is supposed to punish russian officials allegedly involved in human rights

violations by not granting them us and by freezing their assets here the state department has the full authority to deny the says to anyone they want without any senate approval why this bill in your opinion the senators in question who framed the bill would have pushed it through the committee are. riding a tidal wave of self-righteousness they have magine themselves to be secretary of state of the united states there is no rational justification for this spill as you pointed out the u.s. state department already had and in fact in this case had exercised its right power to prevent forward nationals from entering the united states the u.s. government has these parts doesn't need them this is signaling out russia on the ledge charges of corruption when the record of a large majority of countries in the world on corruption issues is vastly worse than russia's is there is no rationality behind this act on the american business

community did not support it they did they were very slow to realize it could pass but they don't want it why how can that impact because it's bad for business if it provokes an anti american reaction in russia serious people in america know this serious people in the american business community wants to invest in russia they recognize there's tremendous potential. this flies in the face of american russian also interest in the death of that man sergei magnitsky was tragic no doubt about that but too many this kind of punitive legislation passed in the u.s. would look quite hypocritical considering all those notorious reports about human rights abuses committed by the u.s. in places like like abu ghraib you know the secret prisons how do you see that. well i think again this is true in every country that there is a natural tendency toward so fright useless as jesus said we see the sin in our

brother's eyes before we see the sins in our own this is human nature let's move away from the magnitsky law us russian relations haven't been rosy in recent years but the leaders of both countries made took concrete steps to post economic ties trade and all that but in the geo political field differences remain and we see a serious clash of approaches over syria. what is at the root of the clash the americans have developed on their ideological passion revolutionary passion for democracy i have had russian journalist friends who ten and fifteen years ago predicted to me this would happen they say your country is going to be as ideologically swept away by trying to promote democracy around the world regardless of its own interests as we were in trying to promote communism in southern africa

or in afghanistan in asia think they were right i am convinced they were right i felt at the time i told them i thought you could very well be right i hope you are wrong but they have been proven right look at the arab spring so cold as i documented my two a week book which you referred to before the politically incorrect guide to the middle east i predicted very strongly in that book that opening the door to theoretical as opposed to real democracy in the middle east would simply lead the way to extreme islamist dictatorships throughout the middle east which would be far more oppressive and cruel on issues of human rights what do you think about what's happening in egypt i just remember it was perceived as such a success as well as libya but we see that the situation on the ground is is far from that what what when why. with those revolutions what went wrong with those revolutions i discuss in two of my books i predict isn't that book that of

democracy came to egypt revolution civil war and eventually genocide would follow just as it did in iraq the christian population and like russia the christians of egypt are orthodox christians the copts some of one of the oldest christian communities in the world at least ten million people could be in risk of genocide if things get out of control in egypt it may not happen that way but it could there is an islamic government in turkey but the turkish islamist government are you saying that democracy is deadly yes not in every country but democracy has to grow gradually in countries in the region you have to have a strong middle class growing you have that you have to have enough people with property to learn principles of responsibility this is not something that muslim people cannot learn there are many highly successful muslim democracies in the world turkey certainly of them are crissy egypt can be but it needs to be able to

develop its middle class and alleviate its poverty situation first right now we do not have democracy in egypt we have rather like the french revolution two hundred twenty years ago we have an authoritarian regime which has been toppled we have a lot of people expressing their passions on the streets we do not have stable democratic institutions to allow the development of democracy and we do not have people who are experienced in the compromises and trading and moderation that is essential to the mark recy whether that is democracy in america bag with dish russia or germany or turkey how damaging can it be for. certain countries to the kind of democracy pushed from. from aside from the us it's enormously damaging in several different ways the first and most obvious way is if you talk of our tyrian leader or even if an authoritarian leader simply

collapses to his own corruption and incompetence as mbutu did and say here and he was not pushed out by either us pressure or russian pressure basically he grew old and the regime collapsed but there was no democracy that not following year what followed and so here was civil war and genocide that lasted more than a decade ten million innocent human beings died by contrast in one thousand nine hundred nine and two thousand i was a personal witness and into the zia of a much happier change so cargo was another of the most greedy and corrupt tyrants in modern history but when he was pushed aside the intern the xeon people were sufficiently sophisticated were able to put together or inherit from their past druck tours of responsible leadership and they have enough serious responsible leaders waiting in the wings this is a classic example of how evolution can go but if you push out.

at authoritarian leader or even the tyrants too soon you have first of all the key in which simply hundreds of thousands or even millions of people will die you can have civil war or genocide easily following afterwards in america most of the american people though they are defiantly christian do not know that the christian historical christian communities in iraq were virtually liquidated not under saddam hussein but in the conditions of chaos that followed the american takeover before an effective government could finally be established in iraq only within the last four or five years i just want to tell our viewers that you have three pulitzer price nominations for international reporting and you've been covering foreign affairs for so many years and i want to ask you. since you mention iraq what has changed in the media field in the u.s. since since iraq has something changed because i mean at that time as you said the

media in general they they were basically cheerleading for war there was nobody to question nothing has really changed not since then the real lessons have not been learned there is a lack of courage and a lack of intellect i believe in the american broadcast media let's say with the regards of the coverage of the arab spring i'm sure it is certainly watching what has been left out of the media attention what would you point out several things first of all the successful democracies evolve they cannot be created instantaneously overnight when authoritarian or to tell a tarion regimes disintegrate or fall there needs to be a period of time even of a generation and more work people can have security of private property where people can get used to a relatively free market economy you would russia know this you are making excellent progress not the years in the one nine hundred ninety s.

when i often visited your country terribly difficult years prosperity and democracy are not on the table goals most people in most countries can have them but they are not quickly or instantaneously achieved americans how far one hundred years drunk instant coffee you take a little. little envelope of coffee of powder you poured into a cop you have hot water instant coffee now they believe democracy can be spread the same way you simply take american instant democracy the american blueprint for democracy you impose it on the country you have water pressed so instance democracy the world does not work that way they thought it did with the arab spring the entire his. three of the middle east shows that things will not be that simple but they also in the administration and the republicans to as i said are blind to the

terrible dangerous that their policies are causing they do not realize they are putting religious and ethnic minorities at fearful risk in countries like iraq syria egypt thank you very much pleasure. or. area. to. the good. to. the the. code. such.

that place at the london olympics after two know when i've opponent in the qualification tournament in mosco microchannel reports. it was the tournament started exactly what it says on the tin olympic qualification that's something that up till now how deluded the russian men's beach volleyball team after failing to emulate russia's women's team already qualified by winning the continental cup this really was the last chance saloon for them but the russians kept their nerve seeing of poland in the final in two rather one sided games. in the first you need to beat but bush was shocked and people come into straight sets pun a surrogate repeated that feat against poland second duo. and. i hold that equaled russia's twenty run of four wins in the last going into the match at home comforts seem to have played their part in the resoundingly victory

the players however want without them worries part of the fun. i had about three hours of sleep the previous night because after. the final. four seven thirty pm so we had to hold our emotions. but we experienced players and know how to deal with this kind of stress. and we're now firmly on london the guys mood was understandably buoyant. we're not playing on going to the olympics to simply participate in it this year has been tough there were so we'll want to do the marks and see how high we can get if we get a medal that would be amazing playing better and better together so hopefully we can reach our peak. in the men's other final muscle mexico to militants into other olympic tickets after practice despite dropping the set against the mexicans team auster never looked like they would

surrender their undefeated run in the tournament i think. we had a really. great team spirit although it's just one ticket for two teams which of course can make problems but i think we did a really good job and we deserved it and with that the final g. sports for the beach volleyball competition at the olympics and now he feels like he's on russia's men's these global team will after all be joining the women's team on the plains a lot of the stuff that's already been sleeping in weeds in their whole lives could have the home people think they should on the final here in moscow now going to seem to be heading to london to above has built a good two thousand seat stadium clear from the twenty eighth of july because they also are going to jump the battle now the olympic glory michael going to take over our team must go with me to well that is all from the world of sport is more from a in just under two hours time here on our tape but the wild weather is next.
