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 was like in a very conversational manner very short question and i thought that that phrase might have spelled out the complex that washington had 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 that americans were sick of war and didn't want to invest any more in terms of our our our human beings that number of people were killed in terms of what 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 it initially 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 to have to global terrorism but

a complex of really going to enjoy it 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 put 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 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 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. 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 negotiable priorities not only as a matter of principle but as a matter of being reelected oil and israel meaning guess prices and be.

concerned 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 our campaign i look at how me 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 netanyahu 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 try to 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 you know 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 who's arrogance which he's always had. has been enhanced as enormously 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 part in 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 that he was 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 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 alternately 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 our 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 it could be made but then if 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 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 say well if the iranians were to do this obviously iran would be the one that was 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

radians would risk that because they know what would be a lose situation suicidal that's right thank you ok. looking at some docs you simply do not believe they come speak and goodness how they can wrong. it's an international sled dog race with those driving the dogs. coming from as far away as australia canada and the us i come to russia and everybody is so very friendly they welcomed me with open arms and the scenery is so beautiful it's very much like a laska and so i felt at home the first blood joke was brought here from us straight here and now must have come to this remote russian village to take part in the race it's not surprising

they love it this trail are amazing but even more amazing is the story of how racing first started here atoll it wasn't the top. grazing who set the trail of place but a nun and for all phones who brought their dia to life. five years ago about a bill to dock kennel in the village kids from the local open h. came around to take care of the dogs and one day they state their life might seem extreme to some the boys wake up at six to feed the dogs before school in the evening they spend up to three hours training their full legged friends but smother her schedule also encourages her kids to become depth hands on the computer and internet the boys regularly update their websites and they're in touch with that business while the twenty four seven on the phone itself but children are the most important thing my only interests not play any rule any more and regardless of

whether parsky has huskies win the race or not she hopes the competition will take place in the village next year. but called these dogs and the children it really is not the weaning but actually just the taking part that counts. and so the only city in europe the host of the twenty fourteen winter the pick a. song. thank you. so much. thank you. dog days are. my days it. comes.

enjoyed a flying finish to his run to edge out the german by seven hundred in the second while mclaren's lewis hamilton was third fastest and fernando alonso of ferrari will complete the second row on the grid the spaniard is top of the overall standings but his lead has been trimmed to just four points by bethel who won the last two races where there is also i mean with an outside chance of a maiden crammed you're straining is sixty points behind vettel with five races to go. most call for assistance if you are being very tart here very very happy to. get the job done today get the pole position and it was a reasonable lap when you did when it counted obviously so well that's what color form is all about and it's been a tricky last few wins for me but really happy to start on pole what else where motor g.p. leader will go into runs i was broken a lap wreck or to secure pole for the japanese brawn three times the two man race for the title eats up yamaha why don't i just add he's one of the rival dani

pedrosa. a blistering lap of the track britain's cal crutchlow will start from third spot more like a stone and could only banish the seventh fastest time just driving these third overall but third world title is out of his reach in his last season whopper dresser trails lorenzo by thirty three points with one hundred up for grabs in the last four outings. moving on to tennis now and while the long roger federer is ours to avenge is a lympics final defeat as the swiss is currently doing battle against third seed andy murray in the semifinals of the shanghai masters while mari is the double defending champion and has won all of these eleven not use of the three occasions so far in shanghai so it's no mean feat for federer to attempt to tie the head to head statistics at nine or after losing to mary at the london games in august well victor that will face a second seed novak djokovic in the final on the serbian outmuscled by march verdict of the czech republic six three six four to coast indices tent final of the

season. that moved on to football and russia's goal hero alexander off has hailed his side's defensive qualities following their one nowhere over portugal here in moscow on friday night it's the first time the russians have ever believed in the portuguese and the victory gives them an outright lead in the world cup qualifying group that because they thought scored the decisive goal opera just six minutes coolly firing over the keeper off to be here through by is a nice teammate. well russia capello has now won all three of his competitive games in charge and he's signed a three points clear at the top of the group of israel trying to six nearly luxembourg in the other game boxes which is about twelve feet reports it was a memorable night of delusion is that. russia produced an excellent defense of performance to take control of group of the time being anyway as baby portugal goals are now. dominated possession but it didn't really managed to create too many chances and that was russia's back to really being marshalled one i really don't

mind. g.'s in the space of time to great shots and really rushes defense deserve a little praise will always be managed with. the portuguese certainly had a lot of possession but that is their style of play all the dominance with the ball they hardly manage to create any opportunities i think they had one chance right at the start of the game and that was it but then again we made it hard for them to create. russia where more than my capacity crowd at the as you say demand really gave the players a little so it was really very grateful to have to watch the russians didn't manage to create too many chances with cells and how much the session didn't have many opportunities really to attack the portuguese goal but the one opportunity they did have in the six minutes was taken perfectly by alexander scored three goals in the free qualifiers so far. i really relieved to have taken a chance that was presented to me but i don't think the portuguese had many opportunities themselves and

a lot of possession and they were dangerous from set pieces but they managed to create a fun being honest what part of the portuguese controlled most of the game and grid dominated possession they didn't manage to create too many chances and apart from one incident in the first half you go i can fave really was a spectator for most of a game well the talk had been about cristiana rinaldo but the real madrid midfielder really did struggle to get into games is very well by russia's back line and nani just said basically it couldn't be opportunities and that has been done for we did well on this speech. to play on this but i think. it was a good performance of the game but. that's football. but . i still believe i. have a chance to do we know that's what. christianity is one of the best players in the world and it's always difficult to play against him but i don't think he was at his

best today. things are looking very good for you to publicize the travel group after three games over insurance damage conceded a very very good defensively this evening and i really does bode well for russia going into the rest of this world cup qualifying campaign in their bid to reach the world cup finals in brazil in two thousand and fourteen also answer please. don't see. for me while in minsk basel i was pedro netted a hat trick as world and european champions spain east to a foreigner with the batteries to go join top of group i do terrible put be handed out ahead after twelve minutes. pedro soon netted his first to make it to know. the last word and then added with a two second half minutes to wrap up a comprehensive with spain's second victory.

sorry state and out of the group with france with both teams on six points and they will face each other in madrid on cheese day while in the other game finland drew one one with georgia. for me while italy remain unbeaten top group these after their three one win in all media although they will wait to fight for the three points in your run off there and there are spooled for the spot to henrik. he thought again however in the second half italy found another gear to grab the victory was struck by merely the ross a. blow. and in the other games in group b. bulgaria stay second after drawing one one with denmark and the czech republic and the death pool of much gold racked with a three one win over the motor at a check saving eighty dollars minute penalty. when we were a much fancied young belgium team claimed a famous victory in belgrade as the visitors won three nil against serbia who

enjoyed their first home defeat in a decade to go stand. let's see if the bill is posted then tiki ten minutes before the interview then a second strike the word rhymes kevin drew in a comedy on my chelsea and a last minute effort for evidence had been made i. am not win but belgium top of group barry croatia also have seven points off to win two one in macedonia while gareth bale scored first goals for wales as chris called the side came back to beat scotland to work. but meanwhile the top two teams in group g. bosnia and greece played out of the restroom the best chances for greece came early on with their finest decades plastering the post on bosnia did have chances in the run but they too fell to convert their milk. that bosnia states up on goal difference slovakia join them on seven points after that to one when i have a lot via a few ideas. of the campaign against six in china. while i bring

a group d. romania have maintained that perfect starts today group d. campaign me they want to know when. to leave the window on the stroke of half time this team that had a victory in as many games. however two thousand and ten world cup runners up the netherlands went top of their group on goal difference following their comfortable three nil defeated and dora hungary better all the stuff we are one minute. but germany kept their one hundred percent record after a six one thrashing of ireland in dublin while sweden though they survived the scared to come from behind to beat the faroe islands two wars and kazakhstan and austria become secured their first points given group c. the coldest draw. while england have seven points from three games after wayne rooney skippered their final thumping a part time a son marina i think sold at wembley and the other guy against ukraine finished all this and finally switzerland are in charge of they drew with norway iceland i'm

slipping. yes that is claimed victory is. further afield kept in little messy scored twice as argentina beat you are going through the mill in the south american world cup qualifier who goes in the second half the barcelona man that took his first in the sixty sixth minute so he'll go right that home just a few minutes later. before messi the last time i know. to complete the route argentina and i took the qualification group at the halfway stage colombia ecuador and euro why make up the top four positions which will qualify automatically. and that's when the sport is faster. i'm in sochi the only city in europe i'm the host of the twenty fourteen winter the pick a. song c. thank you a. saucy
