are similar to the bush administration's i was listening to a conversation on fox lately yeah and it was about whether the u.s. should stop meddling in the affairs of the region in the world was divorced from the region and the anchor at the question that he was that he was asking but what if we divorce what if russia and china come in and then it will end up in boldly ran so that was like in a very conversational manner very short question and i thought that that phrase might have spelled out the complex that washington has when it comes to interventions after the vietnam war there was a sense that you could see it in our culture in our news everything was more local than global the americans were sick of war and didn't want to invest any more in terms of our our our human beings the number of people were killed in terms and wanted to emphasize domestic you know economy and development well and that's why i

mean one of the influences when george bush was elected he wasn't interested and made it clear he was going to be dealing internationally it was ok to deal domestically that's what the american people want with global terrorism if you're a global terrorism you then develop a policy which is very complex it's not just going after global terrorism but a complex of really going into vengeance and intervention in place and also you know occupation etc it's clear that the american people are sick of the carnage. in iraq and afghanistan i don't mean the american people i mean the conflicts in the heads of the policy may well the policy makers are concerned about being elected and reelected and they know that the american people many of them are saying we don't want more intervention simply because we don't want to see more americans dying and because we have a real economic problems at home so why are we going to be you know. spending so much on going to you know going to war i want to get get. if you could help me to

the bottom of this. complex is it that is it is it the sense that if if we don't intervene someone else you know we're going to lose influence someone else we're also going to cold war mentality i don't know potential i don't i don't think so i think that there are people who exaggerate me for example desire to have more influence to forge better alliances which could be benefit if you know they're in favor of the u.s. that's what i mean i think that you know the u.s. is path has to be to ford's better alliances with the peoples of the region it cannot simply be motivated by simply saying well there are alternative emerging powers here you know or reemerging powers depending on how you view things with regard to russia let's say as compared to china we can't we can't simply develop almost

a new cold war mentality here and say well you know if we don't play it quite right they're ready to sweep in and take everything off i think that what you're going to have and what we have is a competition over spheres of influence ok we see that already oh i think china certainly china's china is very present in many parts of the world from sudan as the world we're talking about from sudan to pakistan you know developing its foreign diplomacy and its fears of influence i think clearly feel for russia. there's a concern about you know it's fears of influence in the region and for the u.s. there will that's what will keep us in the region i mean i don't see how how we could ever talk about divorcing ourselves from the region if a no other reason given the push in u.s. policy you still have two primary drivers in terms of national interest and that is oil and israel. you know given given american politics you see it's not a matter of an intellectual thing american politicians the majority of american

politicians we've seen this time and time again are absolutely convinced that these are two negotiable priorities not only as a matter of principle but as a matter of being reelected oil and israel meaning guess prices and a lobby. concern if you look at american politics the concern of most politicians in congress ok the concern is not only out of a commitment to save israel but also in terms of you know the ability to be reelected and you also see it in our campaign now look at how and obama ok have been courting the jewish vote and it concerned about it obama has to be concerned about losing what is a you know a long time tradition of american jews voting democratic obama what happens with obama in the last two years the administration has backed away from it's putting pressure on the netanyahu government remember after the cairo

speech obama went toe to toe head to head with netanyahu on the settlements who wouldn't back off and back and forth back and forth but then you know look at what happened the last time netanyahu was here he speaks before congress and congress gives him what was a twenty seven or twenty nine standing ovations plus a lot of sitting ovations what's the message there the u.s. congress on a previous visit of netanyahu as that's a guy was coming in a confrontational situation with with the american president the u.s. congress the majority drafted a letter to netanyahu expressing its support not only for the state of israel but for the netanyahu government so they know the politics when the convention came up the democratic convention what did they tried out all of a sudden the democrats were talking about movement of the embassy to jerusalem so they know that that is a reality and so all politic. regardless of parties have believed this for decades and will continue so for the foreseeable future that's not going to change much

obama was the guy who gave the impression with his cairo speech and others that he was willing to begin to renegotiate america's policy. on israel and palestine but in fact when it came down to hard political realities has backed off do you think there's a crack between the white house and tell me over iran or is it just like good cop bad cop demand a game that they're playing out it is complicated i mean the same place i think that i think that. netanyahu has. from my point of view netanyahu arrogance which he's always had. has been enhanced as well mostly by the kinds of things we were just discussing his ability to take obama on. his duty to come to the united states regularly and take. and how many situations would you have a foreign rep in effect coming in and saying i don't care what the president thinks

i'm going to go to the congress and try to get what i want and now he is pushing the u.s. to war that's right and netanyahu is acting as lecturing or this administration and say the red lines are not drawn strongly enough when it comes to a military attack. what other leader could be dictating to the president united states and feel that he could do it. i believe that obama has been working it very carefully because of elections ok but that obama has old really tried to communicate yet we're going to be strong on iran and we will be even stronger and stronger if iran doesn't. back away but but he's made very clear that he's not willing to talk about and put on the table significant threat of military intervention and that's what's bothering netanyahu netanyahu would like to be able to communicate to the world that. the israelis are ready which he has

to attack and that it will be done with the full support of the united states and he's not getting that he'd like to believe we've had enough instances in the past where israel could go in and raid a country we seen it from when it went into iraq when it went into lebanon etc and the u.s. would sit on its hands you know or into gaza and i think what he wants to do i want to do is create a context for that you know where you keep laying the groundwork you keep painting iran as this evil empire that you're going after and you keep putting pressure on the united states because what you're doing is saying we're going to have to do this because israel faces extinction and you're hoping therefore to put pressure from within the country from both the hard line christian zionist right from from apac the jewish lobby and also from from congress but i think the ultimate the

ultimate potential goal is that there is a danger that ukrainian rhetoric is not helping that no i do you really think that there is that a bigger threat to israel's existence coming from and i think i think that israel is exaggerating the imminence of that threat there's no doubt about it and there is that yeah i mean there is a point that can be made but then as you had said this a long time long time ago when he makes these threats he also when he came to the u.n. had a private meeting at the u.n. that a number of us attended and it's not that i believe anything that is said but he did say something that was pretty logical at the time which was look if we engaged in any kind of nuclear attack we would be inviting the decimation of our country because they would be a counter attack and just the other day in the american press it wasn't that was saying it but somebody else that was sort of saying well if the iranians were to do this obviously iran would be the one that would really suffer so when. when

netanyahu acts if it's israel that faces such a degree of a threat and extinction that it would justify a preemptive strike it's just hard to believe that he really thinks that the rains would risk that because they know what would be a lose situation suicidal. thank you ok. if you're passing through russia's to be a region you really can walk on the wild side. thousands of kilometers of unspoilt countryside make up an area where it's still possible to live off the land and enterprising locals so the fruits of the forest by the side of nearly every road such spectacular scenery makes it a paradise for fisherman and provides

a business opportunity for hunters going on he has been hunting for more than thirty years and works for a company providing expeditions for tourists this season ducks are on the menu of. the two things a successful duck hunting needs a patience a bottle silence which means that i need to be very quiet i'm not going to frighten the birds or. office. but when you've been in the business as long as he has the birds don't stand much chance. there are defined hunting seasons in russia but lax enforcement means many animals are killed out of the allotted times which can leave young animals orphaned and unable to survive but environmentalists are fighting back the heart of just the u.s. forest provides a sanctuary for the most famous beast in russia. it's home to a group who rescue often bear cubs and raise them when they're old enough to fend

for themselves the cubs a target taken to a remote location and released back into the wild but it's not just bears who find a haven here this is wolf island here wolf pups have been captured by hunters or bought from zoos have a second chance at life and conservationists have a unique opportunity to observe them these walls are all around four months old and they'll stay in this area for up to three years then most will go back to the wild for good just viewing them from the car was an experience in itself but then after a bit of a bumpy ride came an opportunity i just couldn't pass up. and this is what i was hoping for was coming to a place called. a chance to get close and personal with the locals and it's these guys are going to act as pasta parents for the next generation will come here

using the older walls as a surrogate parents has already proved a successful technique. every 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 wolfs reputation in russia. but the keepers here hope their research and dedication mean that wolf island remains a place where visitors can truly understand the cool of the wild. wealthy

a period when he won the tour de france seven times according to the us and he doping agency chief executive the proof is conclusive and undeniable. just the overwhelming evidence and the different categories of evidence whether it's eyewitness testimony whether it's firsthand direct admissions that lance armstrong said in the others on the conspiracy said scientific documents that are there the financial records the e-mails it paints an undeniable well of unfortunately the deepest and the most sophisticated professionalised drug program that we've ever seen a team run well the u.s. anti-doping agency has now sent its report to the sport's governing body the international cycling union that has twenty one days to appeal or comply with the agency's decision to strip armstrong of his seven tour de france titles the forty one year old has always denied taking performance enhancing drugs but chose not to contest these latest allegations which israel is have dismissed. the process is

completely rigged i don't care what travers tiger is you can choose only from usada approved arbitrator's number one so you know that you're going to get at least two against you and as i've told judge barks at the time the christians dealing with the lions in rome had a better record than athletes when they arbitrate with usada listening to ice hockey where there's been a nine go thriller and they. are new in coming up with the winner for top five for victory over bodies to stun our amazingly the five thousand fans it needs a new hat to wait until the second period for the first goal and it was about ace constantine putting them in front before brandon but kinski added another to make it saying no but by the end of the period to payday had got the home fans celebrating with. the losing netting in the last two minutes to make it two and in

the third it took pete and continued to school that goes alexi the c.d.f. and me for method all this time giving them a to go to advantage however there was still plenty of fight left in body stay clear of their way back to strike some of it being the most important but told p.t.i. did have the final say it's a new day and popping up with their dramatic win to keep this team that third winner five four to the final school. got a huge win over spot at moscow the muscovites enjoying it to go question themselves after only fifa and anatolian the concept netted but a double from. sent a match into overtime and when it came to that she tied to me but not in the extra point the to be considered themselves lucky. for me personally the match was over a very tense with a lot of scoring chances is good that we were cheap to positive result of course

especially was. and we were losing but we managed to pull it together and even the score of the beer it was very difficult we could have lost the game there was a lot going on and we're now i think we got really lucky and our goalkeeper blitz very well. in other games out by the detail about you live away in the shootout and your brash atom of bulis there five one on home ice and elsewhere you grow a bit like a motif in the era savile three to have unguarded fitted atlantan moscow region in overtime. football russian manager fabio capello has slight injury concerns over three players for the world cup qualifier against portugal in moscow on friday striker alexander defend this and midfielder roman shirokov have all been training individually this week however capello is expected to name captain hugo denise of in his side despite the midfielder being dropped by his club's elite after a rather overpay the winner of tomorrow's match will get me out right leading group

russia currently top that on goal difference from portugal with both sides of the six points with two wins from their opening two matches. the mark brazil football chiefs have played down fears the country will not be ready to host the world cup in two thousand and fourteen feet for delegation will arrive in the country for a five day visit next week but the man in charge of brazil's preparations is confident that everything that has to be done but we've got. you know i think we have no arrow yes it's not so easy to huge event huge challenges a lot of requirements that we must feel but we can show hard to believe or everything on time but he was speaking at a leaders in football conference in london and also there was four more potent stuff a pretty small one but the midfielder retired after suffering a cardiac arrest while playing against tottenham seven months ago so his heart stopped beating for more than an hour and although doctors say he has made a miraculous recovery the twenty four year old admits he still suffers mentally.

mentally i think. most of them are good and well. this was where it will take me. a memory to get back to normality how it was before the snow and then i try not to think about it too much to try to enjoy life and to this moment i'm. trying to get on with things because if you try to think about it too much you coming close to the movies which again. meanwhile the fastest man in the world you same boat is again said he'd like to forge a career as a football player after he's given up and let it's the six time olympic champion intends to defend this one hundred and two hundred meters titles as well he says relay gold in rio in two thousand and sixteen and after that he may even try his hand at long jump but once the running spikes are hung up the jamaican says he's got his eyes on trying to make it in the world of football. the marker near to the end of my career i don't know but maybe from the luck to try because i think i'll

be good at it just watching t.v. and see these guys play soccer all the time my friends are good try to march is a jamaican so i do get something i like to try different. the same boat will be competing at the world championships in moscow next summer and there could be a few russian cheerleaders egging him on cheerleading has enjoyed rapid growth in russia over recent years and the best were competing at the recent annual chair dance tournament in the russian capital with more is mike. cheerleading has come a long way since it first started out as a person vocally urging a crowd to support their team the united states with their break riddled sports like american football and basketball has championed the art of cheerleading morphing it into an entirely new and separate sport and with it attracting a whole bunch of enthusiastic followers around the globe including russia because we have so many teams here who otherwise support the sport clubs who perform at

corporate and social events we probably cannot compete with the united states and the moment but i believe we're definitely bring in our own distant the russian touch to it it's a very physically demanding sport much akin to gymnastics in atlantics where risky moves are par for the course this event however was all about the show element of cheerleading and had plenty of talent and commitment on display including two silver medal winners from the two thousand and twelve european cheerleading championships i decided to cheer just. like it and. now seeing music and i think it's a very good in russia that a lot of girls they want to take one thing to the decencies here leaders. in russia we also want to hear today's cheerleader is a far more visual character and carries an image that many recognize and when you couple that with russia's notoriously beautiful women it's a surprise cheerleading hasn't taken off sooner something the girls know all too

well about what can definitely boast about our muti of course their level of american cheerleading is there mention mark but we're slowly but surely moving in the right direction. definitely started off as an american tradition but as you could see you're looking at the global since there of course russia is doing new to the whole. physical side of vocal support but what's not to twenty fourteen olympics next year and the world cup in twenty eighteen there's plenty to cheer about. the project. so we've got time for for the moment a bit later.
