if you have a war sunni versus shia within islam you have the potential to blow up the ruston who are refineries in saudi arabia for all the workers all the skilled workers in the refineries are shia muslim and not sunni only the saudi royal family and a minority and saudi are not a minority but. so they depend on outside labor so you have the potential to blow up the heart of the oil production of the world economy what would that do to europe western europe that would be devastated i don't think that that would benefit the united states economy in any way shape or form i think these are political interests who stand above government above state and use the instrumentalities of state the state department the pentagon and so forth to pursue their own private agenda i think the scheme is utterly mad i think the whole bush plan from from two thousand and three for the greater middle east project which this is an extension of the whole arab spring is an extension of that state

department project. to break open these these state regimes these monarchies in the middle east open them to privatization of the oil and other things and literally create the kind of chaos that was created in many countries in eastern europe after nine hundred ninety with the collapse of the soviet system so we're dealing with an instability that has the potential i think to get out of control of anyone so you saying that there's the shadowy figure of big business behind the crisis in syria not big business i'm talking about big oil but there are only four companies in the world who call the shots on this and they're intimately interwoven like the british east india company in the seventeen eighteen hundreds there are intimately interwoven with the instrumentalities of state whether it's the british government or the case of b.p. in tony blair or it's the u.s. government in the case of exxon mobil. chevron come to lease or rice was a board member of chevron before she became national security. or to bush and later

secretary of state and the interplay between u.s. intelligence services and big oil is almost seemless take the case of dick dick cheney's. stinted halliburton the world's largest geophysical services company oil services company at the same time they're the largest constructor of military bases and equipment around the world so i mean i think that a pit in my eyes is a big oil and the military industrial complex are seamlessly interwoven into a powerful lever. for certain interest groups private and i think to a lesser extent the interests of the american people in fact quite against the interests of the american people a lot being said about russian opposition to foreign military intervention but china also opposes that why is china taking not side i think for the chinese they recognize the. devastating flooding mistake that they made in the lead in the libya intervention take place i mean this is this was the destruction of

a country that was at war with no one but they realize that if syria falls then you're going to have literally a series of dominoes this time in the next to fall would would likely be iran iran plays a vital role in the chinese energy national security they already have lost south sudan or or threatened with the loss of south sudan and they've lost libya for the chinese had an active oil involvement in some of the richest oil fields in africa and they're fighting to keep their told in africa so if iran then the iranian supply of crude oil to the chinese economy were then jeopardized by chaos inside iran china will be the ultimate loser and i think they realize that in fact i know they do because i've spoken with leading chinese strategists in beijing late last year when my book misapplies it always was released in chinese and they do realize this this is this is ultimately directed against the rising. anomic

presence on the world stage of china well it's the focus away from syria now in look at wiki leaks and the case of julian assigns now you have some theories on what's going on that well i think the whole wiki leaks if we go back to the original story of this private barry manning or brad bradley manning excuse me. sitting there listening sensibly to lady gaga c.d.'s on his m p three in baghdad and dol noting what is it one hundred two hundred thousand pages of classified state department cables from all over the world i think the likelihood that that could go undetected for so many months is less than zero but once you have the cables released to wiki leaks what's rather bizarre is that julian a songe. gives those cables to the trust of the guardian in london the spiegel in germany and to the new york times to select what they think are the most

important leaks to publish in their newspapers so as brzezinski who's certainly one of the most knowledgeable people on this because he's done this over the decades as national security advisor zbigniew brzezinski pointed out at the time in an interview. this is a perfect opportunity for one or another intelligence service to amid all of the actual cables that are released that are real cables some of them mildly embarrassing to washington but very few of them that i've seen. you can spike you can put little pinpointed to bits of dessen from ation in and claim that that's part of the cables with the sun's set to spend his fists able future inside the ecuadorian embassy where you see things ending for him i have no idea. the. what's bizarre is the charges on which this extradition

process is being prosecuted in terms of the swedish government for plausible rape of two women that that he had relations with there were some kind of relationships we're told what that did i think was to create a little ation in the media about this fellow a songe such that he became an attraction just like a certain group and moscow that has created in incredible total asian in the world media since they had their trial recently now you just alluded to the pussy riot trial in russia that do you see that there was somebody manipulating them in their actions. i think there's no doubt to was managed by somebody and i think the somebody is the same somebody who has been trying through the volley in various other so-called dissidents most of them have a record of involvement with agencies or n.g.o.s connected with the us state department in the case of all the openly has been documented taking money from the national endowment for democracy and u.s.

government financed in geo that conveniently appears in all the countries where there is a color of revolution in preparation by washington. and i think the so-called pussy right first of all is not a punk band it's not a musical group it's a political provocation provocation collective what's clear to me is that the of course when you name a group with an outlandish name like that and then do the kinds of stunts i won't mention them on the air but what's been documented and in visible youtube's that one can find on the internet with little difficulty are things of such obscenity and violation of the decency of of womanhood and human decency that it almost comes under the name satanism. and they've done this repeatedly throughout the past months and years before this desecration inside the russian orthodox church in moscow now you mention satan is in there but the women themselves said that this

wasn't aimed at offending the church that they were just making a political statement and i think freedom of speech does not permit people to make while they were making sexual gestures in tights and so forth and with masks on and you can argue these are only old believers who are there and so forth that's their right to worship in the way they want to unhindered and uninterrupted and that's a desecration if that were done in a synagogue in new york city or tell of the i can assure you that the people who would do such a disruption would be spending. much longer term or in the u.k. the i think in the u.k. the the limit the maximum in jail is fourteen years not seven as it is in russia do you think that the media outrage over this was because it was happening in russia yes no no no question in my mind why russia well i think the point is to put russia on the defensive internationally especially putin who is a hard ball player and washington was very. displeased when putin came back as

a presidential candidate after after a hiatus with video of. i think the point is that. defends russian national interests in a very active way in a very determined way. and that's something washington doesn't want to have right now they don't want to have strong leaders who draw lines in the sand in syria and places like this they want pliant people who'll play ball the way they want to play ball with the crooked rules with the often they write thank you very much thank you good talking. the sun rises over what seems like analyst forest to hear in the new directions cry for hundred kilometers north of light of our stop as in much of the world it's

promote the region and the w w f says the government isn't doing enough to stop it i guess the government now is a start of that here for more whole forest legislation so assumes the pals and so on regards a new forest court and according to. every forest service the guys in waltham in the in the forest through the still the forest courts deal doesn't work just do. it with no one tries to stop them in just five years the force will be gone they'll sell it all to china what will the people who live afterwards do like it's a question more and more people are aware of today climate change in the safety of our environment as a whole are being discussed around the world and perhaps it's those small steps that might be a start to people living in harmony with nature. wealthy

a red army. it's a great opportunity for me to be gone if you're going to jersey a red army if you remember if you know how many great players. came from like. red army hockey school and how many big names play for the team you know like many means olympic champions world champions. that's a big honor for me and because. he watched his first game when serious cameras to beat up and got almost by a goal to zero didn't take to be ice himself the first two year old expects to play i'm thirsty but he says he's not here for a holiday and will be giving everything to help his new club get as far in the playoffs as possible not just spending big time play by play hard to compete for my team you know and the best what i got it's obviously a distraction from his goal of to be without his family but moments but hopes to

game by thirty six runs or more to progress themselves and they started well enough focused i mean he had put on thirty four while share our house and eventually went for eighty four was bangladesh bangladesh racked up one hundred seventy five runs for six wickets in their twenty overs but in reply pakistan put on one hundred twenty four for the first weekend with him and as their hitting the fastest half century of the tournament off just twenty five balls set pakistan on their way as they reached one hundred seventy eight to two for a victory. and i think you know to be a. bit really well geared really put us a little bit under pressure. to be honest. they were a little bit short and i feel you know after that would really come out we don't bother to very chewed the man was you know exceptional tonight he was he was eddie's best i would see in. your city it's great to see as it gets going and as it

be we really have been you know the boys really approached were destroyed but after the first game we really came back well in that. really work out last three days and put up a good troll so although we haven't got there it's a lot but i'm quite happy with the progress that after the first match and finally tiger woods is determined to help the usa regain the ryder cup in chicago this weekend with the world number two saying he is to blame for his country's poor record in recent years the teams have been practicing at the medina course in chicago where the tournament tees off on friday and woods is hoping to end his ryder cup drought he's only been on the winning side once in six attempts and although he shoulders the blame for past disappointments he is also optimistic he can lead america to victory this time. i am responsible for the because i didn't. the points that i was put out there for. i believe i was out there a lot and five sessions each time and i didn't go far but on our side. so i sort of

am i was part of that and that's part of being a team i need to go get my points. from my team and i didn't do that so you know hopefully you know i can do that this week and hopefully the other guys can do the same and you know we can get this thing rolling and should be a very tight contest that was. so. publishers that so much as i can which of course he's running for years we always use these really long view for us to what degree does that impact american foreign policy what about the rift that now divides. the french invasion of russia has started again after two hundred years up at the.
