what's going on in the middle east as you point out the a.k.p. party in turkey the ruling party in turkey has successfully kind of moved turkey away from what was a military dictatorship and has proved that you can have a majority islam country that embraces democracy and that establishes a kind of model of a secular state and a religious society i think that is a very potent example for the rest of the middle east and you know this is something that the people on the ground in the middle east understand it's something that i think increasingly even the neighbors of turkey understand and it's something even the united states is understanding and remember the united states is planning to work with turkey for a post assad syria according to the latest news from the washington post new york times so it's not like washington it's not like washington is opposed to in many cases washington is working hand in hand with to respond to what's going on in the region but if i could keep going on that with rachel it's the same time anchors that's not going to

the separate will just to to to keep the status quo in the middle east do you think that. if if the attention of washington would be removed drifting away from the release may become more active moscow may become more active if not becoming a mediator or at least becoming once again a major player in the game is a principle well russia is a game is a play in the game because russia is a member of the quarter personal that it was his past few. years been doing something important for example russia really encourage this conciliation between the months up we. i believe this is very important if we are to bring about peace talks but at the same time i would not over exaggerate the chances of russia to become a single mediator or to become a most that if i don't think it's realistic why why because we have all of all things to think about everybody has faced against constant i believe all have a lot of problems. in the new iraq we have a lot of problems in our own country and while we still pay attention to what's going on in the middle east than it is also important for us st

good relations with with the middle east with. iran and with muslim countries i believe it's a priority and that is why mr obama will have to take into consideration not so much probably the sentiments of the arab street but the sentiments of the arab rulers who are still in place i mean this year or last year he kind of the last year we witnessed. there. actually the replacement of of many western province and that is why mr obama will have to think twice what will you say reestablish good relations with israel and other countries are going to get but this is the big single year as well but the truth israel is pretty smart for many many years israel acts. like. a young. during the honeymoon she says it's not only your others it's either me or . all the other risks and it makes me watching them make make a choice isn't it. actually we're not discussing. the relationship between the united states and this film because it's a very very sensitive and a very complicated relationship but there comes. from the very beginning. and the je

it is a global revolution, not just a revolution in the middle east. tavis: what do these geopolitical shift in the region mean ultimately for the u.s. and its relation to the region? i am always afraid to ask that question, the region, because the region itself is so different. >> it is a very diverse region. i think we have a golden opportunity. president obama cantu par wanting to change the relationship between the united states and the became to power wanting to change the relationship between the united states and the muslim world. but now he has been given a gift on a silver platter. these young people want a different relationship with the united states. this is not an anti-american revolution. this is a pro-democracy, a pro- dignity, a human-rights revolution. it is important for the administration to be out in front, not just with words, but also with money. we give the egyptian military $2 billion a year to buy weapons and tear gas and tanks, etc., not to save themselves from an outside force, but to save themselves from internal disruption.

what guns have been able to achieve in the middle east. okay. we're ten years after 9/11. osama bin laden dead. saddam hussein dead. abu musab al-zarqawi dead. khalid shake mohamed in custody. petreaus doesn't need to be out there anymore. however you feel about how this might have politically affected things in the middle east, how we might have been rejected by the man on the street, we have won the war on terror. >> not yet. >> stephen: well, we are winning. we are winning then. >> are we winning, or are the people in the region winning? >> stephen: we are winning because they didn't wage the war. it's our war, we waged the war. we got all these guys, and you say that al qaeda is... is al qaeda all busted up? >> no al qaeda is still a threat, but it's increasingly passe. >> stephen: passe? >> passe. >> stephen: they're not a pair of jeans. they're a criminal organization that is out to destroy the united states. what do you mean passe? they don't have support anymore? >> in egypt, a bunch of kids got out on the streets and did an -- in

where it doesn't want its influence in credibility credibility in the middle east compromise this is only irritating the problem so we can imagine that a lot of diplomatic negotiations will continue taking place to make sure that maybe israel will will take back its plan on expanding settlements because if those settlements do expand the palestinian president said there will be no kind of business as usual and no direct talks with the israelis. beijing us live from new york there. now there's a new attempt by the un's top body in formulating a response to syria bid european countries and russia remain divided on sanctions european nations new draft scales back the call for tougher restrictions on syria suggesting that further sanctions are only implemented if the violence doesn't stop immediately russia remains resolute in its stance of further sanctions won't work and that the war in the sunlight should enter talks the crackdown in syria continues with the army supported by tanks and helicopters now having stormed the key rebel city of dust on. the un has also had iran to get a star

today it's not a debate over middle east peace but his top news but is anything actually moving forward here or is just the same decade's old arguments rehashed over and over again also it's now been almost one week since occupy wall street began and yes the protesters are still there although you wouldn't know it from the lack of media coverage we have all that and more for tonight including a dose of happy hour but first let's take a look at the mainstream media has decided to miss. all right so last night there was yet another g.o.p. presidential debate and so of course the mainstream media is all over it acting like nothing else is going on in the world parsing over every single word over who's going to do over who or what about parsing is unfortunately for the most part surface level and still pretty shallow gossipy but we're going to get into that in our first interview for now let me go back to a really big critique that i've made before and it's only becoming more apparent with every debate so every cable network has at this point hosted a debate fox news has done it more than o

dearborn has the largest concentration of arabs outside the middle east.nd southfield has a significant concentration of jewish people. and now that we're at war with each other, relations between the two communities at times reflect the tensions of the middle east. some of these tensions are covered in the local newspapers. >> last year we had an editorial that was published. it was published right on super bowl day in detroit. >> we are a right of center conservative page. >> and the editorial is on sunday, he says that -- that palestinians have lust for jewish blood. >> it was very critical of palestinians, but that's not the problem of being critical. it was dehumannizing them. >> and describing palestinians as terrorists. >> same thing, they have a unique nature against self-interest >> and they're waiting for a moment, for the right moment to kill the jew. what type of a statement is this made by an editorial. what are you trying to say to the jewish community in here that watch the palestinians in the neighborhood because they're after you? >> well,

that does not apply to making middle east peace. there was nothing to sing about today. questioningly from u.n. headquarters in new york is our correspondent. -- joining me from u.n. headquarters in new york is our correspondent. what is the purpose ofñ going to the security council when they know the u.s. will veto? >> i think it is the most dramatic thing they can do to show how unhappy they are with u.s.-led peace negotiations. they have said they are ready to negotiate with israel, but the terms do not get them what they want. particularly, they are going to go back to talks, but israel continues to build settlements in land and what for the state. they need at least a basis for the kind of territory they will have in the end, and israel has not agreed to either of those conditions. palestinians say it does not make sense from their point of view to move into talks without that. they have been pressing the americans to get that for them. the americans have not been able to do so. because they are fed up, they are going to the security council. it is politically impos

>>> does the hard work of peace, with a major middle east speech at the u.n., republicans just deliver harsh attacks. >> the president should not be negotiating for his ally israel -- >> naive, arrogant, misguided and dangerous. >> perry is right. >> two congressmen from both sides debate the obama middle east policy. >>> also, job fail. republicans go after the fed, saying do nothing on the economy. are these guys shameless or what? ohio senator sherrod brown live on that tonight. [ chanting ] >>> plus time and options have run out for death row inmate troy davis. moments ago, georgia's supreme court refused to stop the execution. davis now scheduled to die less than an hour. this is not justice. welcome to "politics nation." i'm al sharpton, live from atlanta, georgia, reporting tonight on a question of justice, justice denied. troy davis is set to be executed less than one hour from now, despite appeals from around the world, and despite grave doubt about his guilt. just moments ago, a group of former death row wardens released a letter calling for the davis execution to be stopped

>> i think the situation in the middle east is very fluid. to happen in the middle east tomorrow, never mind in two weeks. >> isn't that a reason for you to just stop the settlements and come to the table? is there we stopped the settlements for ten months and the palestinians didn't come to the table. we're willing to extend that for another three months and the obama administration determined that they weren't still going to come to the table with the palestinians. but i need to go back to your first question -- is american influence waning. you look across the middle east today, many people are protesting for democracy and opportunities and a future for their children. the model they're looking for is not somewhere in the east. the model they're looking forward is still the united states and when governments and leaderships in the middle east look for peace makers, they turn to the united states. there's no alternative to american influence in the middle east. >> i want to show our viewers a poll that was done by pew researc research.this

yesterday, rick perry called his middle east policy appeasement. today it was mitt romney. >> the president's failure to stand by israel in a time of need over the past couple of years has been unfortunate for that part of the world. >> reporter: today the french proposed a one-year deadline for peace talks, but the palestinians didn't buy it. tonight the president and hillary clinton are double teaming the palestinians. if they don't back down the u.s. will try to bury the palestinian statehood application in a u.n. committee just to buy some time. brian? >> on israel, do you buy into the view that they are as vulnerable in a way as they have been in decades? >> i think they are more vulnerable than any time since 1967. they are surrounded by arab uprisings, they have lost their key allies egypt and turkey and are at risk of losing jordan. and syria is unstable on their other border. >> that's why it's an important week in new york among other things. andrea, thanks, as always. >>> many palestinians are of course disappointed by president obama's

it's rippling throughout europe, indeed, throughout the middle east. so, a lot happening right now.also, by the way, following another developing story breaking news happening right now. two american hikers go free after two years in iran's most notorious prison. the men were convicted of espionage earlier this year. but a million dollars bail has now secured their release. we're continuing to monitor the situation. we'll bring it to you live as we get more developments. but both of these hikers josh fattal, shane bauer have been freed and they are getting ready to fly to oman and reunite with their family and fly back to the united states. much more on this story coming up. but let's set the stage before the president obama's important state to the general assembly. jessica yellin outside the u.n. right now. this is a hugely important speech for the president and a diplomatic tight rope. >> it is, wolf. he will be addressing a broad sweep of the issues. he will address the u.s. draw down of troops in iraq and afghanistan. the u.s. killing of osama bin laden and u.s. effort to shore

indeed the israelis were asked now to present the security demands because with it changes in the middle east what will the future of the jordan be? in the past they were more lenient. because if they will be changing jordan, if the american influence in iraq will diminish, attacking israel from the east it is much more likely today than it was 10 years ago so the israeli will demand much -- probably will demand a permanent position of the israeli military of the jordan river something of which the palestinians will not agree and there will be some more elements that will not be discussed. we are wasting our time talking about this. [laughter] >> anybody else? >> i have one question for professor perry and ambassador marks. the first question is for you, professor. you say the issue is political will. the political will of the netanyahu administration -- i'd be curious for your true observations are. and the question ambassador marks is, others have said that the united states could have in a sense welcomed this opportunity to go to the security council and in a sense not be automatically neg

in the middle east that can happen within minutes. if violence starts, the peaceful palestinian demonstrations could very easily turn into a violent demonstration and the genie will come out of the bottle or the petition by the israelis extreme settlers, the transformation from the violent low-key could be easy. if that doesn't happen, i believe that the next year there will be more talks and we would be able to meet here again after the election in the united states to ask in what way did the new american president or both american presidents support the process forward. thank you. [applause] >> thank you very much for the israeli view, not official, and as i said, our mission is to learn the lessons of history and to try to anticipate future so after the elections we will meet again and see what can be done. our next speaker dr. zakheim i'm sure is familiar figure if i may use this term to he currently is an advisor to csis and a senior fellow at the corporation and he served as the senior vice president of hamilton and i think is v
