and plenty of nights. international news and comment live this is all see with me. hello and welcome to the program. american sentiment across the arab world gathers pace tension between washington and the largest a regional powers also grow the biggest question mark is over the future of american egyptian relations and president morsi is first visit to the u.s. for the un general assembly might clarify it suddenly issues ahead of his trip more sick use washington of having a biased policy in the region to demonstrate more independence from the u.s. that his predecessor. gauges the possibility of that actually happening. mohamed morsi came to power on promises to make could the capital of palestine and open up

egypt's corridor with gaza his presidency promised his supporters a chance to reclaim egypt some pride especially on the international stage one of the curious things is that the americans have been to egypt since morsi was elected and they congratulated him but morsi didn't rush off to united states he went to china instead and also to iran which was a diplomatic snub to united states but the snub it seems more of a token gesture because when angry egyptians took to the streets to protest against the united states the muslim brotherhood kept in the background and president morsi is criticism of the u.s. was muted dr saeed sadik a longtime observer of egyptian foreign policy says morsi cannot replace the united states with another world superpower but godless of how much he might want to change your foreign policy restructure that it's a big process and you need i'll turn it over and the alternative is not i don't think china is for. being

a policeman the fact is that for egypt to prosper and solve its economic problems it still needs washington cairo receives close to two billion u.s. dollars a year in economic and military aid and so two and a half months into his presidency the new muslim brotherhood president is having to maintain an increasingly delicate balancing act his hardline supporters on the one hand the west and washington on the other prompting many observers to ask what if anything has changed since mubarak's era egypt today is not very different than it had been under mubarak egypt u.s. relations during the mubarak era or quite strong the u.s. is an important partner in economic partner for egypt and it would be very difficult for us to any president coming in during konami crisis to rock the boat but the recent violent demonstrations duwayne. talks of a proposed one billion american dollars in debt relief to egypt and although washington stresses this is merely temporary and there's no major shift in u.s.

aid to egypt and the relationship between the two countries remains strained this wall was erected several days ago to prevent protesters from reaching the american embassy on the other side that there is no sign of anyone wanting to take it down a physical reminder of the growing barrier that now exists between cairo and washington but it's a barrier that neither side wants to make permanent because while morsi might be pulls apart politically from his predecessor on the international front he's trading remarkably close policy r.t. . meanwhile a year of outrage over a us film mocking islam is in gulf a new country's clashes have erupted in the greek capital as police used tear gas and pepper spray to disperse muslim protestors it follows them dressed in france when muslims took to the streets after a french magazine published caricatures of the prophet mohammed police in paris arrested twenty one people for defying

a ban on protest rallies and reacting to the publications hundreds of students gather in tehran to call for the expulsion of the french ambassador from iran as those journalist robert harness says time is only has itself to blame for falling out of favor with followers of islam. the government as you know very difficult position because of their policy in syria and because of their various inconsistency. is large all french leaders like most european leaders are in the in the nature buying they've committed themselves to nature tied up with nato france under sarkozy committed itself more strongly than any time since general de gaulle to nature oh. there is the usual sore stick and carrot from from washington so that there's that aspect of it and also they want to appear to be punching above their weight to use british express. in international politics because they want to keep their veto in the united nations so there is no difficulty on the other hand

there is a growing feeling in left wing circles that the government's policy is nonsense you cannot support it terrorism on monday and condemn it on tuesday and then support it again on wednesday they're playing it both ways they don't want to enrage the people the alleged five million people of muslim backgrounds in france are a lot of people on the other hand they stick to their line that they allow free speech which of course is only allowed in france on certain subjects. nor in the anti american protests sweeping in the muslim world on our website. and also that find out how c.n.n. got under fire for reporting on a diary of the slain glass ambassador to media that despite the trial pledging to his family they wouldn't tease them back to this personal journal the report drew condemnation from the top of the falls of the state department who called this disgusting law and that an article called for. the ongoing

syrian conflict has made many nations in the region fear its repr cautions about a neighboring lebanon people are already feeling that clashes between those supporting and opposing theories president assad have become a common sight on lebanese trades and everything points of the country being dragged into the war even the aussies lissac on and off explains. another day another battle in syria. it's a war that has taken on increasingly sectarian tones that some fear could end gulf neighboring countries it's the states outside that are more vulnerable the neighbors of syria that could be said to be more vulnerable than syria itself called for gratian and the lebanon stands right in the path of the blast waves lebanon fought its own civil war on terror in lines for fifteen years and now the syrian conflict is literally spilling across its border syrian troops have carried out incursions into lebanese territory while rebels take shelter in lebanese towns

it has aggravated i'm healed wounds from the past storing fears of a new civil war that's already have had effect here in lebanon it is polarized the politics of lebanon. it is resulted in conflicts that have taken place in tripoli it is resulted. that have happened in beirut lebanon of course vulnerable to this type of sectarian conflict lebanon sunni's mainly support syria's rebels including the powerful militant group hezbollah tend to back president bashar al assad a member of the alawite sect was divided in half between the group that support that the syrian syrian regime and those people were actually. helping and corrupt allies in going there for what they scald the free syrian army nowhere is that divide more violently visible than in tripoli on the streets of lebanon's second

largest city and sunni gunmen have been battling it out this is been a flashpoint for years but the fear is the violence could spiral out of control and spread across the country when we arrived a shaky cease fire was being monitored by the lebanese army and we spoke to fighters on both sides who showed no willingness to disarm. ok. you know this is the leader of a sunni militia here in tripoli has bubbled to ban islam i asked him whether peace with his opponents is possible. as long as assad remains in power there won't be peace in syria lebanon or iraq or powerless done through be no peace while he is in force in neighboring general must send an alawite fighter shows me the destroyed remains of his home when asked to explain the recent fighting with his sunni neighbors this was his response not the dollars just we are defending ourselves against machines of terror and they're serious we are being brought in from abroad

. even the push to defend islam is most unifying figure the prophet muhammad wasn't enough to bridge lebanon's sick tarion divide in beirut separate protests against an anti islam video has turned tens of thousands of shias to the streets days later a hardline sunni cleric who gathered his own supporters in the capital they may have been united in their outrage the protesters carried flags that left no doubt which side of the syrian divide they're on for now lebanon is holding together but some residents here wonder whether this is just the calm before the storm season is if you guys are going to go. they're going to have their start then they can start their careers in the states here and that. everyone is going to fight states like that so it's never going to happen this shelled out building stands in beirut green line which for nearly two decades divided the city journal lebanon's bitter civil war christian communities lived over here to the east muslim communities lived across the street to the west but as the armed conflict in syria continues to

escalate just across the border many here in lebanon fear that the fragile peace could yet again be shattered and that sectarian tensions could once again plunge this nation of nearly four million into another civil war for our team and lucy caliph an elf in beirut. and coming up later this hour in georgia thousands of people plus as against the police abuse something. georgian officials including the minister of interior have already lost their jobs but it's one of the people demanding border vote in the scandal. and in the business bullets and we'll tell you all about the surprises of the sochi form and why the russian ruble could be a worthwhile investment these stories and more after a short. if

this is what i was hoping for was coming to a place called oil and a chance to get close and personal with the locals and it's these guys are going to act as foster parents for the next generation will come here using the older walls as surrogate parents has already proved a successful technique. every year i place infant wolves with one year old wolf cubs his parental instinct is totally shaped and they take them as their own cubs it's an important part of the world's development and a major factor in the success of a project which has seen more than twenty generations of cubs grow up here it's going to continue to take time and money to rehabilitate the wolf's reputation in russia. but the keepers here hope their research and dedication i mean that we foil and remains a place where visitors can truly understand the cool of the wild. you
