economic and technological development its freedoms the rule of law among other things resent with the sea 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 spiked up countries like egypt and others but what's happened throughout the obama administration is that you had rising expectations those expectations not fulfilled and then the numbers start really going down one of the risks that you have when you are it seems to me a president or anyone is that if you raise the bar you'll be judged by that and obama had the genius and the insight to present a vision that was significantly different and claimed to be significantly different from that of george w. bush on a variety of issues whether it was palestine and israel whether it was the use of military force etc but the reality of it is that in many ways

a fair number of the obama policies are are similar to the bush administration's i was listening to a conversation on fox lately 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 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 human beings the. number of people were killed in terms of want 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 to have to global terrorism but a complex of really going into vengeance and 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 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 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. it 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 there 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 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 cells 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 lot 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 now 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 wouldn't back off and went back and forth back and forth but then you know look at what happened the last time that he 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 it i 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. 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 the magic 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 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 duty to come to the united states regularly and take. 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 as lecturing of 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 told i'm really trying to communicate yeah 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 now 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 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 and 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 that he 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 was 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 rain ians would risk that because they know what would be a lose situation there. thank you ok. it's perched atop a giant rock under view from the tobolsk prevalence stretches as far as the eye can see. for a city to siberia for centuries. it lost its economic importance even before it

was bypassed by the chance i bear in railway but the a spiritual center. things like these are a yearly occurrence thousands of orthodox worshippers of them selves and blessid water to commemorate the baptism of jesus. it doesn't matter if it's minus thirty it's a siberian tradition i do it myself every year for everyone to overcome their worst fears it is desirable to take the plunge. but that's picture postcard churches the story of a city built by opportunist explorers political exiles and crafty fur traders in the fifteen eighties the russians had only just conquered siberia taking it from

the muslim. surrounded by enemies to be their stronghold constructed on top of the city but soon enough it became an economic hub siberian fire was the oil of its time bringing in a third of all russia's state revenue but the location head of the says for the russians are. to moscow's one of the most popular places to send political dissent is not any people were exiled that once a giant bell that was used to incite riots was supposed to set a three hundred ten. the russian the crowds who led a revolt against the eight hundred twenty five known as the decembrists worse than hair and drove. there they created a replica high society adopting the latest fashions as soon as they came out or at least once they made it from paris to siberia. but the city also serves up some bit of irony for the russian royal family after the bolshevik revolution. this is the

the latest from the world of sports. hello welcome to the sports headlines. cattle grid mark webber beat teammate sebastian vettel to hold position as the red bull sweeps the front row into the korean grove three. wild title fights double depending champion how do you laurie beats roger federer in straight sets to set up a final against you know i just have the shanghai losses. and history makers russia beat portugal for the first time with a one zero victory in moscow to take the right lead in that world cup qualifying group. but first let's go straight to my just port where mark webber has picked what we know one champion sebastian vettel to pole position as the red bull team closed out the front row for sunday's crunch korean grand prix but all seem to have

all that secure the top spot after dominating the session early on but webber enjoyed a flowing finish to his run to edge out the german by seven hundred the second. lewis hamilton was third fastest to number one set of ferrari will be the second row on the great the spaniard is top of the overall stand this but his lead has been trimmed to just four points by vettel who won the last two races weather is also in with an outside chance and made the australian is this sixty points behind vettel with five races to go. most call for assistance if you're being very tart and very very happy to. get the job done today at the pole position it was a reasonable lap when you did when it counted obviously so well that's what color forms are all about. it's a tricky last few wins for me but i really have to start on pole. while elsewhere moto g.p. leader hall de lorenzo has broken a lot records to secure pole for the japanese brawn creek as the two man race for

the title heats up yamaha run. edged out his honda rival dani pedrosa with a blistering late lap at the mo take the track britain's cal crutchlow will stop at a third spot was a case he started it could only manage the second fastest time this trail and is third overall with a third world title is now out of his reach in his last season i could dress a trial he runs i just thirty three points with one hundred up for grabs in the last four outings. moving on to tennis where andy murray has beaten world number one roger federer for the second straight time to line up a repeat of the u.s. open final in a title showdown against novak djokovic at the shanghai masters the two exchanged breaks in the opening two games before we broke federer at two more times to play i deserved six point six zero victory as even a rain delay to close the roof late in the second set didn't rob the us open and the champion of these moments in memory also beat federer in my previous meeting in

the final of the london games you know best and the two time defending champion is now i have beaten in all of his twelve matches and the three tournaments in shanghai. so you are standing in the way next the second seed novak djokovic the so i've been at the muscle they call the czech republic six three six four to coast into his tenth final of the season it was also no backs to a leading sixty ninth victory of the year and the australian open champion who also triumphed in beijing last week has put in ahead of the final following when a four. year old so far so good i haven't played many. long matches so i haven't dropped the set. in this tournament so far and that's something that will be helps me physically before before it's more challenging. now moving on to football and russia's goal hero alexander golf has hailed his side's

defensive qualities following their one zero win over portugal here. on friday night it's the first on the russians have ever beaten the portuguese and the victory gives them the outright lead in their world cup qualifying group path because it all scored the decisive goal off just six minutes early firing out of the king after the team threw by as the nice teammates well i'm sure our car ownership that fabio capello has now won all three of his competitive games in charge and to start off three points clear at the top of their group well they say israel trying six million luxemburg in the other game but as richard corfield reports it was a memorable night the stadium. russia produced an excellent defensive performance to take control of group of the time being anyway as baby portugal by goal so now what would you do is dominated possession but it didn't really manage to create too many chances and that was to russia's back to really being marshalled while really denied any space or time to great shots and really russia's difference deserve

a lot of praise but it is very much with the. commander of the portuguese certainly had a lot of possession as their style of play dominance with the ball they hardly managed 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 were more of them like the crowd that you could say demand really gave the players a little see which way they were very grateful to the russians even managed to create too many chances with cells and not much of a session not many opportunities really to attack the portuguese goal but the one opportunity they did have in the six minute was taken perfectly by alexander cares a culver's i've scored three goals in the free qualifiers so far so. i really relieved to have taken the chance it 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 that's all they managed to create. what is part of the portuguese control of most of the game and

grid dominated possession they did manage to create to me a chance. this is apart from one incident in the first of the ego i can favorite was a spectator for most of a game all the talk have been about cristiana rinaldo but the real madrid mathilda really did struggle to get into games is very well why russia's back line nani just said. which could. be done for we did well on this speech normally we don't use to play on this kind of range but i think all the players did well. it was a good performance of the game but. that's football when one chance there they score but we still have. we still believe one team have a chance to games that's what's important. to note 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 i think looking very good for you criticize the table group after

three games over instagram's much conceded the goal would be very very good defensively this evening and that 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 or so once again. well meanwhile in minsk bascom's pedro netted a hat trick as world and european champions spain is twenty four now when i have a ballerina to go joint top of group i. meant twelve minutes i. soon netted his first to get to know. the boss a forward then added. to second half minutes to. the split second victory. of the defending champions and now top of the group with france with best teams on six points and

they will face each other in madrid. chouse de wall in the other game a fearless jewish one one with georgia. the main one italy remained on the top of beat off the best three one win in armenia although they were made to fight for the three points in your the one that i'm pretty low had spilled from the spot to levels who can make it to thirty on however in the second half italy found another idea and grabbed a victory yes we did all see. as well though. in the other games in group b. both gary a stay second off the drawing won one with denmark out of the czech republic and did that for much gold racked with a stream one when i was paid to check the saving a last minute penalty. while a much fancied young belgian team claimed a space victory in belgrade and that this is one of the three no against serbia who ensured their first home defeat in a decade aston villa's. opener ten minutes before the interval and second top spot
