and next we talked to a sociologist craig quaalude about the lessons to be learned from the recent arab anger over an american film many deemed insulting to the prophet muhammad. the u.s. government has been taken by surprise by the recent wave of anti-american violence one fold in throughout muslim countries following its role in the arab revolutions washington was expecting a more aggressive to don't support from the nations involved but they do you ass have sufficient cultural and social understanding of the region and on the societies of the countries they work into vinnie to discuss that not only that we are now joined by sociologist and they had of london school of economics craig thank you very much for being with us my pleasure so what do you think was the kind of miscalculation of the u.s. government people in the united states and in the west generally were enthusiastic

and imagined it was all about you it was about facebook it was about tweets on twitter and it was about the definition of democracy to the common in the west but in fact it was also about strengthening different countries trying to establish of rights for a wide range of people not only those who are sympathetic to the west but for the whole population the americans who responded in the first place were indeed taken by surprise and when we say did they know we have to ask who we mean by they did some experts working in parts of the universities in the united states or it teligent know more than some politicians of course i think that the politicians trying to understand this needed to listen to a wider range of american experts as well as to the world and the people in the region they have a middle east and listening to those people not enough what parts of its strategy

should the u.s. and its western allies amend those countries and other countries to avoid negative consequences in the future well the most important thing i think is to. be very cautious about a forceful expects really a violent intervention i think that that's extraordinarily risky and so we should watch out for advocates of violent intervention secondly i think that it's important to recognize that in every one of these countries as in every country around the world there's more than one voice i think that the u.s. should be very concerned to show that it respects muslim people show that it respects different nationalities where they they showed the opposite well some people for example those who made this horrible film about the prophet which offers an insult to the prophet did not treat islam with respect and many in

the region think that that somehow represents u.s. policy it doesn't represent u.s. policy but the u.s. needs to make it clear we've seen but it hasn't been a reaction from the time was that exact input from a very special group of face to science or was that actually at all possible to avoid this while those people they may have been i mean waiting for something like face it's never impossible to get rid of such possibilities it's never impossible to guarantee anything one hundred percent in international affairs or in terms of domestic peace is specially when there are people who want to have a disruption i don't think that we are going to influence those people who want to violence and who are willing to use those tactics but i think we can have an influence on how much sympathy there is in the broader population by making sure that we don't back repressive regimes and become associated with them that we are

appropriately respectful in matters of religion is this. the cause behind why the intervention supposed to brain. in freedom peace and prosperity brought and stad filings and chaos actually the chaos that we see around us is structural it's built into the system that doesn't mean it always has to get out of hand or always produce violence but it means that we can't imagine it a way we can't imagine it will just go away if we get one perfect policy we have to resist most of the time the impulse to think that there are just good guys and bad guys and if we intervene to help the good guys then everything will get better i think the proof of that story is libya it's something we have to listen to in relation to syria i've actually witnessed the beginning of the conflict in this country and just been there recently it is indeed very complicated what's going on

in syria which is we've got to all this complexity of the situation on the syrian society particularly how you see the conflict play out that well i give you two different answers because on the one hand a prediction on the other hand a hope my prediction unfortunately is that the bad situation will get worse my hope is that before that happens there will be a way to stop the violence enough to get people talking to each other about a more peaceful transition so far the international community has shown that it is not clear it doesn't know what to do i don't think anyone is entirely on the right this it's not a good idea to back over oppressive regime and to give it the hope i think false hope that it can stay in power and overcome the threats to it but it's not a good idea to imagine that rebels are somehow all democrats all the brill all

people who are going to simply work for a good future they have their own sectional interests their own personal grievances their own different kinds and opposition is very much divided stream lete that's why i use the word factions it's. i did there is not even a clear majority if the united states invades syria that's a disaster to sow arms to one side or the other is to continue the conflict and right now both sides are getting arms on the international market very easily with different backers that means more people will be killed possibly the best action would be try to try to reduce the global availability of arms here both of our countries are at fault ok what about the western societies how did they change. all these events it's it's through massive popular pressure that the west is withdrawing from countries like iraq and afghanistan and we feel a kind of war fatigue in those ties to its two thousand and one and the attacks of

that you're of september eleventh are in a way a symbol for it they are the only source but the anxiety about the middle east and about islam has become an acute thing for many western countries it's shaped by different factors in europe there is an anxiety about immigration in the us it really is more tied to conflicts linked to the middle east and the sense of having been attacked in the homeland this has affected a large population and it's affected some people by making them hostile towards muslims it's affected other people by making them worried about the change in america and you're right to say america has changed america has adopted new security legislation that make it a less free country because we have more surveillance and we have that because people are worried about public security what will happen if there's another bombing so what's happened in the western countries is that the fear

is more basic and so more people are making their choices based on fear. and not as many people are making their choices based on hope or optimism about living together peacefully let's not talk about london school of economics and it's experience that they call themselves the bad chapter over this cold history but alice eve has had a very special relations with the regime of colonel moammar gadhafi formally been leader and dispassionately with his son safe on islam i've interviewed safe in tripoli and he's been talking a lot about how did this experience change him i think i guess it's been a mutual change so it's been all ok until one moment when the british government turned away from libyan leadership at that time and this exactly what happened with the school it south and something kind of apocryphal see here don't you agree with that i don't think there was

a part hypocrisy i think we have to so something rather similar to what i said about countries that there were disagreements there was not just one side the school has been faulted for receiving money from a foundation linked to saif al islam gadhafi the son of more american office there were objections there was an argument there were disagreements the school never had a whole position where it said or could offer his regime ok or not ok we don't take positions on regimes in that way there was a complicated situation and it got extremely simplified in the way it was written about in the press so it's been completely independent in that case right that's a very strong statement it has been more independent than is sometimes suggested i think completely independent receives not only from the government i mean hasn't been influenced by. the government's attitude government influence did not control the attitudes or what went on in the school choices were made in the school the

school is influenced. in various ways by public opinion more broadly by governments but we try to maintain enough autonomy that we always protect that intellectual freedom. mistakes from a year now they had of london school of economics i'm sure you will get past mistakes in the future right i'm sure i will find future mistakes to make i think that there is no leader of any institution of any size who doesn't make some mistakes so we should good luck with all those mistakes. thank you very much thank you that. you can tell an ordinary russian. in the blink of an.

anthropologist in those days siberians were different clothes eight different food . different animals. but what about. my journey began in two men but the big city was all shiny all funded skyscrapers and shopping malls much like any other prosperous russian post. so i decided to travel to. a small town just outside. many. dumplings came from here to dominate the russian cuisine but only in siberia to put them in soup with cabbage and making sure you can have many as a starter main dish. although it may draw out of. most people in siberia see nothing wrong with hunting

only if you decide to participate. when you look upon mountain. like the muck as in the middle of a swamp only accessible by transport in the summer months and went to a. it's inhabited by siberian a large muslim minority that migrated head before the russians. and this. israel siberia maybe not the stuff of tourist brochures but distinctive enough to show that these yeahs siberia still not quite like anywhere else.

first training session at a friday's crucial world cup qualifier against portugal in moscow this is said to be fabby a capella his biggest test so far as russia manager as his side go up against the group favorites both russia and portugal have won there too much is so far in qualification to go denise off is in the squad despite the fallout from his dispute with an eight after he wanted a bigger salary. is one of the new additions to the set up and the locomotive forward is expecting a tough test on friday night. clearly has said that we need to prepare very well for the upcoming game it's going to be a massive test for the players it's a real old if you need to be called up to the national team but at those times and i'm just really glad to be here. elsewhere the international cricket council says it's to launch an urgent investigation into claims of corruption indian t.v. says it has evidence that six umpires were willing to fix well t twenty games ahead of the tournament the west indies won the event. in sunday's final the sport's

governing body has urged india t.v. to hand over any evidence that could help with the investigation the i.c.c. also reiterated that none of the umpires none. the allegations are probably from sri lanka pakistan and bangladesh were involved in any official games at the t twenty world cup. elsewhere the houston rockets are preparing for their first pre-season much ad of the new n.b.a. season the rockets missed the playoffs in the last campaign finishing night in the western conference they've made numerous changes to their roster in the off season including the introduction of superstar jeremy lin who says it's an exciting time for the franchise. but definitely have a ways to go far to be honest with myself i think. you know we're learning the principles and it's one thing to learn and it's no really good and together in the same period so as expected we're we're trying to learn to grow with each other and

i think defensively right now is somewhere we spent a lot of time working on the transition and things are. now in tennis russia mikhail youzhny is out of the shanghai masters following their first round defeat at the hands of victor the serb wrapped up a six three two six six four victory meanwhile american john is not through to the third round he saw kevin anderson of south africa and chile also advance into round three following a straight sets win over martin please honest with fernando verdasco also needed just to set the progress against one monaco meanwhile the recently crowned u.s. open champion andy murray has dismissed talk he could end the season as the world's number one. it's almost impossible to finish number one i don't know why i keep getting asked about i'm about three thousand points behind novak which is the equivalent of winning here one in paris and winning in london and him losing in the first round of every turn which isn't going to happen so the number

one ranking is not something i'm focusing on this and i want to try and finish the year as best as possible and. elsewhere to make a child battle between russia's brightest hockey stars pavel datsyuk and only a couple chook his teams went head to head in moscow i was culture cousteau the show with a hat trick with skull baiting tesco in the army darby a robot that bang on his maul feast for just a month ago you been hockey fans could have only dreamed of witnessing a match up like this. joke bush's buckled that's just now it's a regular season t.h.o. game the first on the job e of the season saw forced to open the scoring with the russian magician that suits net in his courage cage old bill and early in the second period when muscovites extended their lead and sunder a duel following mika men fell in front of the net you know then chess and the home

side of the fence man made it to know. only fear would have suspected them because all should show was just about to begin is not the voters number two but we just like seeing drive in the beginning we were not focused enough just skating around making a lot of mistakes but we came out for the second period fired up from the constraints and it paid off quickly and all jews did what every captain is supposed to inspire his team with the guild he won and scott geared up for nick wiser i explained goal scoring chances for the visitors to scout though managed to stay in the lead through the second period however sky us down back looked inevitable and just immediately be defiled period the welsh export is second to level matters to you all. and things got even worse for the hosts when devin delmon scored on a pole please please do you still had mounted

a cam back. yeah could have even the score. examiner do you miss them now on a breakaway although you didn't call the net increase on the night seven minutes from time you sent the final score of poor pitiful but with those the national man but it was a good lesson for us fortunately the season is just started and we have some time to improve so we've got huge potential and we know what we should do to fulfill some more important games are still ahead for us a couple so we splinter you can action for hockey fans with many of the world's biggest stars showcases their outstanding skills in the kontinental hockey league. r.t. moscow. meanwhile in the cage on tuesday three games are taking place within the legal outside of russia ukrainian side don't back down yet carney is taking sevastopol it's goalless at the end of the first period not to really go are up

against the nominal main skilling loving capital i want to turn first period and find the defending champions demand on moscow visit left clark in the czech republic. find a moscow played host to the american football finals over the weekend four teams from across russia competed as the sport tries to increase its fledgling fan base in the country which have been portrayed as more. it's a world away from the n.f.l. of the teams from moscow and juliane been schooled competing in the russian american football final this was their very own super bowl the sport is growing quickly around the country and in just two years the number of teams competing has moved and tripled. food for the ceiling. has helped to coach a collegiate level in the states but still room for improvements in drawing yeah it's more of a it should be more popular first it's like what we need in russia facing context for team sports. good looking guys play the game children looking for.

american football receives very little exposure in russia there are going to be any games shown on cable all the rules and terminology a move an alien told us all sports finance or no russians in mi and f.l. or even in the collegiate system in the us which would certainly help to raise a sports profile however doubly a cool conceit is changing in the not too distant future i guess where i'm really belief we got some players complaining about too much money and hope lessons like collins and i have no danger but forget couple players from yellow right now an n.f.l. so that we can do it i really believe that some day yeah russian where have all the plays in russia and it has received no funding from the states so they have to finance all their expenses from selves as well as holding down another job for only around five hundred players playing at the highest level within the country even

still mark is one of them he took up a sports want to see it in films for him there's nothing else he'd rather be doing with a gun it's a contact school and it's the kind of game where you can let out only adrenaline on the field but it stays in the thing and once it come off the pitch you know fully relax and friends again with opponents. yeah i love this sport in my wife isn't always happy with me but this is my life. the final was eventually won by the mustard patriots in the blank to be turning up in standards you come from russia zero mountains but thirty point points to twenty one and a crowd of around five hundred plans certainly had a fantastic afternoon of entertainment american football in russia is growing slowly but surely in popularity well it's never going to be able to challenge the lines of n.f.l. europe let alone the n.f.l. itself that will last for a group of players playing out here is a great opportunity for them to play the sport but they're going to love over the years presumably don't see. that is all from the water sports now but i'll be back
