tenth of a percent now short sellers really trying to make a buck or two as you can see the european markets this was the epicenter all but all this is what kicked off all because today in that speak is a leaders who really were trying to come to some kind of agreement so the common bank for the union was going to happen without france and germany disagreeing and keeping the best is to let see how all of that is playing into the common currency will be able to see that here is indeed continuing its southward journey want twenty nine eleven just and that's really as investors put tools the u.s. dollar as a safe haven but one potential buyer of the russian current say is legendary investor jim villages from russia's new economic school says mr rogers the recent interest could prove to be very profitable in an economy like russia currency is a function of gave it allowed to flow in price both things are very volatile so it's a cave it profitable it's much it would be much worse if central banks defended their

ruble or or kept it from appreciation i think it's very good it is determined by the market russian this is sort of generally know undefeated and as i said if russian government realizes the potential russian economy will be a capital out to get built in floor and those will come on your wrist will make a lot of money and that i think is understood by jim rogers a disappointing monday close for the markets here moscow as you can see this is how the r.t.s. on the my set close up for the a lot of justification for that was about the oil prices drop things that take that toll on the us help business this hour in about fifteen minutes i'll have a round up of monday's action on the markets going to see again then katie thanks rob next hour to discuss is the rolling wave of anti american protests with alastair cook he's director of the conflicts for men but root.

i was up to some surrounding the arab spring has been replaced by worries about the arab fall as a wave of anti western protests and violence sweep across the muslim world. but for one former british spy in the recent events brings to mind unheeded lessons from the past in his thirty years of british government service alastair crook has operated in trouble spots all cross the globe from helping them with fighters in afghanistan against the soviets to working with rebel political groups in northern ireland cambodia and colombia as a former special envoy to the middle east he has brokered a number of cease fires between israel and the palestinian movements fatah and hamas he now serves as the director of the conflicts forum in beirut where r.t. set down with him for an exclusive interview thank you so much for taking the time to speak with us but is the wave of recent violence the anti-american a wave of protests across the middle east do you see that as a coordinated effort or or perhaps just

a reaction to what's going on on the ground it seems to me that what happened in libya was well planned well conceived i mean very well planned. and was certainly not something that happened just out of the blue and it coincided of course with the anniversary of nine eleven. and seems to be more serious i don't think that necessarily suggests that everything else that this that occurred during this period. was therefore coordinated or well designed or or or or well planned but more to touch was a real latent sense of anger at what people see as the continuing aggression in this race here against their traditions of games culture against their way of being in the three by one. the recent events the sudden outbreak. in libya itself in the the very seat of what keep

americans saw. new new era marriage the break cause. the west cumulatively to begin to question and start the process which they need to do which is really to reassess what actually is going on it's not the awakening that people thought it's not simply a popular impulse of the oppressed against the oppressors it's far more than that and what we are seeing is the overlay of the dynamics here is the gulf states saudi arabia or. other gulf states that are trying to create a sunni bloc in the west and. as they tried to create a salafist sunni bloc in the east and succeeded now it's the here and it's causing huge turmoil and huge internal conflict within the reach over flowing

to the killing of the u.s. ambassador in libya secretary of state hillary clinton our mark how could this happen in a country that we helped to liberate what are the u.s. foreign policy makers missing when it comes to their supports our interfering in countries with a complicated stance towards the west indeed i think it is causing a real sense of anxiety and a sense of schalke in the united states widely because this whole narrative that somehow the awakening was going away was reflecting and you know much of that was simply based on this rather press. narrative that was promoted by many mainstream western press did look they're using twitter and facebook therefore it must be western in its orientation well of course you find the salafist groups for. seeing facebook and and twitter not necessarily to promote western values but i think that

gave it the sense that somehow this was flowing in the west direction and i think this is come as a big wakeup call to to to western states for the moment we see a tacit if you like alliance between these radical elements in the united states in bringing down assad and bringing down the gaddafi but when that finished where will their anger turn where will. their objective turn it will will turn precisely on israel and america or the west is living i've seen for twenty five years people think they are using the salafist this sort of simple pious people who don't understand politics but their end only to find the salafist use them for the veterans and i feel that this is happening they will find that it will turn on them and will bite them just as it did twenty five to thirty years ago but what lessons has the us that failed to learn money concert experience in afghanistan and how does that relate to what's going on right now and i remember in eighty seven going

and talking to the americans about it and saying you know you need to really understand the big differences between these groups that are taking part in this alliance that you put together and you have to understand some have credibility and real roots within the community but others do not at all that quite different and the americans and the senator i remember at the time turned to me and said listen allister thank you for the advice and mourning is about certain groups in afghanistan then but look i just want to tell you they're the ones that really kick communist ass and so we looked away didn't want to know what was happening we prefer not to love because it was so popular domestically with president reagan with mrs thatcher it was going down well now we're in the era where kicking gadhafi sides were kicking president assad's. it is a popular sport in the west and good domestically so we don't look who are these

groups in syria who were the groups in libya what really owe their objective or their objectives truly to bring about as some in the west imagine a simply a more liberal society a more democratic and easy breathing society of course not just as twenty five thirty years ago people didn't want to hear it was unpopular to say anything so it's been extremely unpopular here so are you saying that the west miscalculated chose the wrong alliances perhaps i think that they miscalculate totally what was happening they chose they created america and for themselves it was a constructive narrative that really all of the initial awakening which was popular and had real popular impulse in it was somehow a vindication of european values of american values and they misread this totally

it was not it was in fact when you heard that it was a protest against injustice in iniquity it was a protest against neo liberalism it was a protest against the absolute support of the west against for israel and for. its policies against the palestinians that may not have been at the forefront of all of the climate but the reason that these dictators like mubarak had been so unpopular was precisely because he was the instrument of the west the instrument of suppression of the palestinians and that it was all was played behind the protests that took place so it was not a little splinter of western values it was a reaction and i think the recent violence we've seen against western embassies not just america. with. sharply on the line symbolically the limits of western

influence in this region this is pushback against their attempt to shape and mold the so-called arab awakening for their own purpose to install their own people their own successes for their own interests in the area but when it comes to syria how do you see the conflict there playing out is peace at all possible at this point perhaps we surpassed that opportunity i don't think until now we've had a window there's not really been a real window for negotiations because the west has not wanted. the opposition to seriously negotiate except on a complete collapse. of president assad and in the syrian system i think. maybe a window arising in the near future and i do hope that the west will instead of ridiculing and belittling russia's attempts to try and

a negotiated outcome. supported because russia plays a crucial if there is ever to be a negotiation between the two parties will have to be guaranteed to have to be guarantees for the opposition for who's going to give the guard the u.n. . west of course only russia can really play the crucial role in result i'm sorry but a u.n. negotiate the u.n. has no standing and no legitimacy in syria amongst either thought at this time and are you worried about the ongoing violence in syria spilling over here into lebanon and potentially fracturing the society here of course everyone is worried and it's already has 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 in skirmishes that have happened in beirut and in in the south. we see reflections of this taking place and lebanon is of course vulnerable to this type of sectarian conflict but so was jordan and so is iraq and we are seeing the same effect also taking place so it's affecting the whole region and if there is if it continues and of course if the money in the weapons continue to be poured into syria it will of course continue for a certain extent. no government can stop two or three people and car bombs does continue the tensions will increase but they may explode outside in fact i think in many cases. at this stage it's the states outside that are more vulnerable the neighbors of syria that could be said to be more vulnerable than syria itself

to call for gratian and civil war well israel remains a surprisingly untouched it would seem at least honest on a surface by the rise of radical islam do you expect that to continue and how do you see this playing out i think at the moment it's quite true that the palestinian issue is almost obscured hardly even on the agenda. but of course i don't believe that this will persist i believe that the palestinian issue has been so crucial to the self identity of so many states whether it's egypt whether it's syria itself that when things settle down the palestinian issue will of course reemerge and of course israel is not unaffected it may not be feeling the effects now. but look i mean what's happened as being as as grim. we could train for south africa or experience all those years ago at the time of the impression of the

soviet union suddenly. israel is now surrounded and. perhaps soon and jordan and elsewhere by a very different region from the one in which. it previously existed thank you. for. the ride that takes your breath away to eating across the scholar's is a mohnish good you know the biggest salt lake in europe and more than two hundred species of birds that are also are on the verge of extinction on these islands in the south of russia they find shelter before my brain to other parts of the world.

a tough day and every time something bad happened i knew something was going to happen i saw him going into my mind and all went right the middle ninety two and so that's just one of the very think i went right. to move to the ice where the new n.h.l. arrivals are already making their presence very much felt in the kontinental hockey league the march for tween title holders. and petersburg taking center stage on sunday the class pitched battle between superstars alexander ovechkin and. here is remind cost ref with more. i think a shell is widely considered to be secondary in popularity to the n.h.l. but with the lockout in north america already in effect that argument seems to be no longer an issue because some of the world's best players are now strutting their stuff right here in the continental. alex of the skins returned to his home in alamo school from n.h.l. the washington capitals was marked by two points in its many games with the new

opportunities will probably become the priority in the immediate future though it will take him sometimes i just that's been already knows what needs to be done so much that success. i can feel the trust from my teammates on the coaching staff both were showing combinational and attractive playing as if it's not it's coring is all we have one we needed seven on the previous match and one today are still high so we need to find out gold we score three or four and homophobia they seem to stop. so because the n.h.l. and its players union continued to cross takes over cash in north america is now missing out on so much action their loss is now russia and other occasional countries game and even more n.h.l. players are seeking to the continental. artsy. let's move on wearing men's preparations for the super eight stage of the twenty
