and another agency stopped response that overrode a number of books on islam dr thank you very much for making yourself available glad to be here i was looking at poll numbers saying different muslim countries their opinion of the u.s. now is either the same as under george w. bush or much worse as is the case in pakistan in egypt for example four years ago seventy five percent of egyptians had an unfavorable view of the u.s. now it's seventy nine percent in pakistan used to be around seventy percent now it's around ninety percent these figures have nothing to do with the infamous anti islamic film where do they come from in your opinion well i think if you actually take a look at you know data from the muslim world i'm associated with the gallup organization and gallup did a world poll of and that included thirty five muslim countries from all over north africa and southeast asia and what we discovered was that majorities of muslims.

while they admire. america's economic and technological development its freedoms the rule of law among other things resent what they see as an intrusive foreign policy as a foreign policy when it comes to the promotion of democracy and human rights based on double standards now what happened was that when president obama gave his speech in cairo then his numbers really spike countries like egypt and others what would happen throughout the obama administration is that right rising expectations those expectations are not there and then the numbers start really going down one of the risks that you have when you're it seems to be a president or anyone is that if you raise the bar you'll be judged by yeah and obama had the genius and insight to present a vision that was significantly different and claimed to be significantly different from that of george w. bush on the other verity of issues whether it was powers. in israel whether it was

the use of military force etc but the reality of it is that in many ways of a fair number of the obama policies arse 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 building the ran so that 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 and 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 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 to eventually end intervention 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 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 will say i was going to cold war mentality i don't know potentially 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 in 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 because 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 its fears of influence in the region and for the u.s. they 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 non-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 commitment to the state of israel but also in terms of you know the ability to be reelected and you also see it in a campaign or look at how and obama ok had been courting the jewish vote and 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 wouldn't back off and went 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 that the u.s. congress on a previous visit with 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 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 forseeable 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 i demand a game that they're playing out it is complicated i mean the same place i think that i think that. netanyahu who's. from my point of view netanyahu who's arrogance which he's always had. has been enhanced by the kinds of things we were just discussing his ability to take obama on. his ability to come to

the united states regular contributor bob and how many situations would you have a foreign representative 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 the necking has lecturing them this is ministration insane 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 who 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 that you know 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 of 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 do you really think that there is that a bigger threat to israel's existence coming from 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 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 said but he did say something that was pretty logical at the time which was look if we engaged in an 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 awkward

then 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 as 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 rain ians would risk that because they know what would be a lose situation suicidal then shortly thank you ok. i never thought i could earn a living this way. natale

a show of oil is the norm or should test small arms so this looked almost a machine building ploy and not obvious sourced count of all the weapons she's fired over the past twelve years. i got so used to it sometimes my friends ask me to join them at the rifle range and i say no wait i'm so tired of shooting. the plow and history goes from making firearms doing world war two to ballistic missiles from nuclear submarines during the cold war the bulk of the soviet industry was moved here in the 1940's to flee the advancing germans so i was here also became the heart of soviet military production closed off to foreigners full hall for a century it thrived on the message of the soviet military when the u.s.s.r. collapsed but life here was shaken to the core but some adapted to better than others. this is truck factory russia's number one truck made for girls a look at how well the workplace is organized everything's done to make sure the

a leaders in football conference in london and also there was former bolton start for greece member the twenty four year old midfielder has retired after suffering a cardiac arrest. well plane gets home then seven months ago the play is hard to stop beating for move an hour and although doctors say he's made in iraq u.s. recovery but one but says he still suffering from the effects. mentally i think. it was a memory to go anywhere and this was a way to go to meet you remember to get the mother to fight with you so i was not the one then because i tried not to think about it too much to try to enjoy life and to miss my family member or try to get on with things because if you try to think about it too much from a person into the decision you are now into cycling and the reputation of seven time tour de france champion lance armstrong lies in tatters after the u.s. anti doping agency has released a report detailing how the american took drugs on a wide scale to secure his victories and accuses him of being the ringleader in the

most sophisticated don't think inspirit seen sporting history the forty one year old is accused of using a cocktail of banned substances including the blood boosting e.p.o. as well as blood transfusions the american is also said to have threatened fellow riders with the sack if they didn't follow a similar doping program with eleven of his former teammates testifying against him it's also alleged armstrong aided and abetted a wide scale cover up between one thousand nine hundred ninety eight and two thousand and five when he won the seven tour titles and the cording to the u.s. anti-doping agency's chief executive the proof is conclusive and undeniable. just overwhelming evidence in 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 the scientific documents that are there the financial records the e-mails it paints an undeniable well of unfortunately the deepest and in the most sophisticated professionalised drug program that we've ever

seen a team run well the 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 onstream off his seven tour de france titles the scientists has always denied taking performance enhancing drugs but chose not to contest the latest allegations which his lawyers have dismissed. the process is completely rigged i don't care what travis 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. now on to tennis and second seed novak djokovic has coasted into the quarterfinals of the shanghai

into an entirely new and separate sport and with it attracting a whole bunch of the physios to follow us 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 it's a 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 a letter where risky moves a par for the course this event however was all about the show elements 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 fine and i like it and yeah it. down. and i think it's a very and in russia got a lot of girls that they want to take wasn't even a competition. since your allegiance. in russia we also want to hear today cheesy

that is a far more visual character and carries an image that many recognize and when you couple that with russia in the first future for women it's a surprise cheerleading hasn't taken off sooner something the girls know all too well about very much we can definitely boast about our muti of course the level of american cheerleading is the benchmark but we're slowly but surely moving in the right direction. definitely started off as an american tradition but as you could see each year loaded as sceptical global since then of course russia still new to the whole aspect of the physical side the focus of course but with sochi twenty fourteen olympics next year and the world cup in twenty eight teams there's plenty to cheer about. pocket protector of all. that's all the sports news bison.
