thing to say will be inspired by islamic law will refer to islamic law when making you know civil code use saudi arabia is not a particularly good role model not only do they observe. but i was an understatement thanks to rid of a strict form of it that's an understatement there. absolutely. so i don't think you know i don't think i do you know we love you but you will certainly in tunisia and look for major you want to jump in denver go ahead go it. yeah no i i agree with what david is saying that the question of sharia law really is a red herring particularly in the united states of america today where you know there are these groups that are trying to believe that sharia law is going to take over the united states i think the point here is that when it comes to the construction of a legal system it's important that that legal system be subject to checks and balances and fundamentally to you know public accountability so you can call it what you will but as long as that law is subject to democratic checks and balances input and subject to change in reformation then i think you know t

islamic party or a party reflecting islamic values that's prepared to go into a coalition with secular liberal parties is a very very encouraging but we should bear in mind that in the past there have been coalitions like there one exists more or less in lebanon now in the past and in the palestinian areas so there was a coalition between fatah and hamas the question is not just if they're going to be elections and the elections are free and fair but whether or not the political players going forward are prepared to play the democratic a game and that's the test we have to wait for ok and if i go to you in denver the west seems to like democracy in the islamic arab world but only if it suits their purposes so they can say this is a good democracy this is a bad democracy this is a good election this is a bad alexion isn't that being a bit hypocritical i mean it and democracy is what determine on the ground i absolutely agree i think when it comes to this in vocation of the adjective moderate with respect to tunisia or egypt that what we're really talking about is moderation to the exten

islamic banking.his man is global ceo for islamic banking with standard chartered. he says there are many misconceptions and this is one of the issues people don't fully understand. >> hedging is allowed for management of risk. hedging is not allowed for speculation. so to the extent hedging is taking place to fix the cost of production, sh production, sharia will consider that. >> reporter: religious views in the country are moderate and won't impact business. this man heads up the legal department at abu dhabi islamic bank and sits on the board of libya's central bank. he says islamic law in libya will not deter potential investors. >> lib ya will not be the only oil-producing country in the region that will have islamic banking. the united arab emirates is a country where the islamic banking is very successful. and this is an oil-producing country. >> reporter: habil also says even if libya implements islamic law, he believes conventional banks will be able to co-exist alongside islamic ones as the

give us the background to the case against saif al-islam -- saif gaddafi. >> saif al-islam gaddafi is wanted in his role for crashing the uprising that began in february of this year in benghazi. an arrest warrant was issued in june. the libyan authorities have him held here where i am. his exact whereabouts are a closely guarded secret. but he's being held somewhere here and people i have been speaking to say he will remain here because they say they think it is safe are that were having him transferred to tripoli. what i understand is happening at the moment is luis moreno-ocampo is in tripoli and meeting with the justice minister. i was told he would be able to make saif al-islam gaddafi if he wanted but no one here knows of any plans for the prosecutor of the international criminal court to come here. but he may well be flown here by helicopter at fairly short notice. so, saif al-islam is being held here and we are told he is being well treated but that is something international human rights organizations are keen to ensure. the other thing to mention, of course, is that although

seif al-islam being held here and is being well-treated. that is something human rights organizations are keen to ensure. although the international criminal courts wanted him on trial in the hague, the libyan authorities do not want that. >> thank you for that report from the western area of libya. now to syria. the syrian envoy to the u.s. was labeled it -- has labeled a u.s. draft resolution as a declaration of war. the reports that condemns the syrian government owes the conduct against protesters was sponsored by britain, germany, and france and will go to a committee on tuesday later. two football fans have been killed during a stampede in a match between india and malaysia. they're playing in the finals in the indonesian capital of jakarta. made angrywere because they cannot get a ticket in the stadium. ever since chris-craft has touched down safely in kazakhstan after a mission to the international space station. did brought back an american, a russian, and the japanese aftermarket who spent more than five months in orbit. the south

so islam and democracy are incompatible it's not just a matter of islam it's also a matter of traditions and historical experience religion. mentality you can't just export revolution or democracy to another country in this sense they're similar to trotskyites who also believed that they could just bring a revolution to a country a spate of its local conditions even when a situation wasn't suitable for the forces in charge of israel should be able to assess the situation soberly and to understand the danger of extremist activities of any kind they should be willing to find a peaceful solution based on a conference with house and then with syria it's possible to reach a compromise in all very acute issues she's really security should certainly be discussed and backed with certain activities it could be done but most importantly what's been stopping this from happening on one hand it's was ition of the israeli leadership that's been striving to consolidate the start of school on the other hand the americans have been reducing their activity in this matter which is quite comprehensive as th
