lucian dictatorial regimes remain intact and foreign influences continue to prevail. can. cross talk what is happening in the arab middle east today i'm joined by michael monger in durham he is a professor at duke university in new york we have a loan ben my year he's a professor at new york university and in boston we cross to daniel pipes he's an author and director of the middle east forum all right gentlemen this is cross talk and there's only one rule you can jump in anytime you want i to go to michael in durham first do you feel comfortable with this term revolutions occurring in the arab world because there are so many different examples where you go all the way from tunisia to yemen to bahrain egypt we could go on and on if you like to term revolution for anything that's going on in that region right now. one of the things political scientists debate is actually what constitutes a revolution and in a way a revolution is just a successful change of regime it needn't be violent they can be peaceful it's not clear that what's actually going on here is revolutions what

lucian's on syria frankly speaking they were disregarded by the actions that some states took even though initially russia supported the first resolution and didn't veto the second what happened afterwards demonstrated that these kinds of resolutions can be manipulated this is deplorable because it undermines the will thirty of the un should it be made shows according to some a growing unease with decisions made concerning the middle east this commitment have appeared somewhat to regret russia's support of the resolution on libya was quite strong in saying that. the actions are currently going beyond what he thought he was voting for. so i think internationally people take note of that because it will signify russia's increasing our knees i think about what's going on in libya and more broadly in the middle east but i didn't detect a sense from mr embury of that the security council wasn't the proper forum in which these things should be discussed with a lot of regional journalists present many questions focused on domestic matters but one subject of great interest in egypt both in russia

lucian is a well known driver in his homeland which one of three year olds progress over the past few years has been impressive he became the first of the russian to win an international championship and arena world serious and last year it looked like he was ready to take on the biggest challenge and sit behind a n f one wheel but then the support of his sponsors start and you see if you want to get the from a one year waiting. period or some financial support. it's not a secret that anybody or the formal one. has made them also reading the project that pilots also are will bring. this case. it was very difficult for us to get a home on this here. lashon launched his racing career in classical style by starting out in karting which acts like a training kunin garden for drivers and lays a foundation that many future world champions use to transform themselves into successful f one drivers among them the likes of reigning champions and i sound bitter who used to be allusions teammate in randal's world serious. and were glad that the. dolphins. in the one team and one championship at th

which is slum espagnol they are basically fighting the system so really speaking it's not harmful lucian is to be found you have to engage in low murder and he has clearly been telling. those who are resisting because one sided by the conflict one side with america and its allies the other side is part of man and the other faction the world fighting under their banner now this has to be settled between two this what i have always said there are two wars must connect with it pretty big one always obama and the other is all modern these pools must connect and find the solutions of one problem if you think victor lay can do the job that is not possible there are two clear choices today for america historically speaking either to expand the war and come in to part time or point to the front of islam are going to be a joke it's going to give the pearl a lot and i'm warning you and warning everyone that it can trigger a whole world war i want don't want to go into details of it but bugs found in group a in desperation music can't even imagine. checking that they decide to go out and i think my

lucian above says the stone lots of work that needs to be done every street the medals in london. were not the strongest like we used to be with the left against the likes of china and japan however the world championships are coming up and that will be a good indicator for point to put. discussions gymnasts to take out of this events how old founded the school will be praying the baton is money and the stock to make a speedy recovery a sheet of to continue her quest virgin picked gold they stand richard on hold me tante. and that's his goal for this hour coming up is the weather rory will bring you the news headlines. hungry for the full story we've got it's. the biggest issues get the human voice face to face with the news makers on the t.v. . it was.

peace process with israel get rid of him things would be better i think russell that is possibly lucian there's a lot of this contention so there are a lack of water the reason for blackwater is israel controls the source the. protesters we want to go one hundred. percent of the illusion might be democracy will be control peace in syria also peace in the region i fear that a democratic syria would break in much more difficult. regional neighborhood israel for instance would have to refuse it could be destabilizing all the because it's even worse now when you when you talk about neighboring countries or such as israel the control of the water coming out of the golan heights and obviously sparking some stuff there in syria let's talk about the outside pressure how big is the outside pressure influencing the situation in the country think. there is a lot of us so it's pressure from what we see in europe in the united states on the other hand striking israel who is very quiet about this crisis it's also the case of iraq which has a government you can like installed by the united states made

it was what i needed became possible to do that we would see the parameters very worryingly surely lucian was the plan for the i.p.o. but it's a good sign for young texan generally for the economy looks like us but as regards the investment you claim until it all my assessment hasn't changed in line there will do well and this is. another occasion many in the st petersburg conference. the event which is called leave it is put the investment forum and work with school education and the fact that how you hold your company and use it says play successful shares on the market his will sign was more than we believe that. such breakthrough was a pet you know become possible it was me and. we can get good results from such activities and i think it's very useful for the company and for the country. from your own news journal mr president we know that syria was one of the shoes the situation in syria that you have been discussing doing these days and i went to know what is the position of fresh local serving d.c. sure and if he's true that russia was the only country among the g. eight it was opp

coast to the west coast of the united states where in the rocky mountains and that full range in the lucian chain of islands there's a lot of volcanic activity they live with it it's their local climate they do have rules they are very careful but they are thoroughly familiar with it they train their crews especially to be able to handle this stuff in europe we don't create train our crews to handle this stuff we do not have anything like the amount of surveillance that that in the usa they have for this area and yet the airlines are pleading that they should have the same privileges in europe as this very highly experienced carrier alaskan airlines. in an environment in which the local experience is not much greater the ryanair chief said this is a case of bureaucratic incompetence but when you're talking about something like twenty seven different national air traffic control spaces within europe it's very difficult isn't it to coordinate and decide when the risk should be taken or not. well as a matter of fact it's very interesting to see who is complaining about the way things are and w

for now is not like the war of our fathers and grandfathers we told all and now lucian and it would have made much of what this authorization did go to show is give the good guys us a chance to win for the people but once and to have total annihilation that what weapons of mass destruction to take out an american city so what if this is doing is exactly what you want give peace a chance but sometimes to get at peace you're going to have to fight the bad guy and we don't have a matter of fact we did not have a problem getting a bad guy without this authorization at it absolutely my take on it is this is just more money for the defense industry any out reports from capitol hill suggest that harry reid and john boehner reached a deal to extend the patriot act for four more years and has four more years of giving up our privacy rights to the government sacrificing many ideals on which our nation was founded and then secondly what. he was going to do to us that combined with us bankrupting ourselves with military misadventures in the middle east after bin laden said he was going to bleed us j

with this but this is a difficult problem is the guts of course we should stop all the camps who lucian on the market and the eighteen year interest working on that show that it was alright let's go along i can see antonio needs get from channel one i don't want china want to be too little to be left out i'm tunji i saw a little bit. on the internet your interview with somebody did and this person was saying something interesting about enlargement of the year is it true was what he said i know it was all he claims it is because of the ok i think america will be terrified. my question isn't about that however it's about russia's legal move the . high speed internet connection here and skulk of all i can miter the situations into a new year in the legislative assembly. the deputies are discussing should be in your own and the prospect of unity but it will can the authority of sergei wrong could you comment on that if you do not see. what your attitude towards this federation council is if in line with democratic principles and china person also federal as you call it. all right. ok you kn

industries are more welcome as it's moved further east and as we've seen increasing accident water or lucian air pollution all the side effects people are becoming increasingly concerned about that and that frankly going across the atlantic and further than that where really there's an international recognition now that this is not necessarily all it's cracked up to be what about the recognition in the united states that you know just most recently duke university had a study confirming that there were dangerous levels of methane in drinking water where wells were where the drilling was occurring is there any sense there's also been more public information out there more investigations that have shown the consequences of fracking is there any movement in the u.s. to regulate more tightly to move to ban it you know is there a response here. there is a response here i mean when you've seen it in new york state for example we've had a an effective moratorium on any drilling for the last couple of years because the state has said like france we're concerned about the risk we need to understand t

should we be surprised because lucian wants to interfere in syria not really as the first there and he'll have already announced sanctions against syria. however in comparison with the libyan scenario you are is not in a rush to come up with a resolution to provoke actions from the allies some commentators were quick to blame russia for your own failure to react to the events in syria what i can't understand is why they believe that the libyan scenario should be repeated in other countries which part of it one tribe it was of the parts when the u.n. security council resolution ninety seventy three was abused i was a dissident casualties at the hands of the coalition but probably no result after two months of mourning which of those should be repeated on syria. as american academic norm chomsky says about the arab spring the u.s. and its allies will spare no effort to prevent democracy and the arab what is the losing their clout in the region. i don't think you are slow to react it's hopefully learning from its own mistakes you ever find yourself and are to do it in a freezing suit probabl
