project from some elements of the west. to ratchet up the pressure against iran around the iranian nuclear project so i think what has to look very carefully at those things and not just make wild assumptions about the peter in birmingham do you what do you think about the saudi role in all of this visa v. around here because this is one of the primary reasons they've obviously that saudi arabia sent in forces is that because it's the bahrain is being a very weak link because it borders saudi arabia itself as we go to do this program here the police are starting an investigation into some violence in saudi arabia that is directly related to what is going on in bahrain i mean they see this is a containment ok and they see everywhere ok and this is why this report came out to whitewash the regime to clean the hands of the saudis for their military intervention proxy intervention for the west in bahrain. well the first thing i'd like to point out is. if iran is involved which is a very good indication there is so what i'm sure

about trying to claim what is moderate and what is not moderate considering the west supported what they called moderate secular regimes like body. that's indeed the view of many many people around the region but i think what they're most concerned about is not the view of the west or europe they're concerned about their societies the economies that democracies have. made these revolutions and they've gone forward to hold these historic elections the first real democratic elections after the revolution so to museums are at the moment very proud very positive there are immense challenges that you've mentioned regarding skepticism of certain sectors and most importantly the economic challenges but there is a positive feeling that just as soon as you had the you know the flame of revolutions around the arab world they were the first to hold these real democratic elections and despite the challenges there is now a real feeling of achievement and of the possibility of all working together getting these provoked an exaggerated ideological differences because the real challenges are really

to something else with the labor think in a field level because the west crashed. killing. innocent and sweet spots me i'm just programmed to increase the total economy. ok. welcome back to crossfire i'm carol about to remind you we're discussing the prospects of democracy in the arab world the. story. ok let's go back to david in jerusalem here even i think that you know how do you look at tunisia as being a model because isn't it really a for the with the rest of the arab awakening or is it a good precedent or isn't a an aberration if it's very specific that the smaller population there's not as much ethnic differences there and it's much more homogeneous they were much more liberal before they've been. dictatorship eccentrics matter my point is how much is to nisha a model. a compass for the future. probably isn't much of a model for retirement many of the reasons you suggested and you know you economically tunisia has performed relatively well there seems to be a solid class of people we would probably to find is. you know a western audience and i think we saw it in the

close to the west as the old leaders. of the bin ali and because this is gone don't forget that for example if you speak about islamic terrorism one of the reasons that people cite for the rise of islamic terrorism is the suppression of islamist politicians in these countries so when these politicians get involved in politics when they start playing the political game they will be a match for the worst in the sense that there will be lots of challenges will definitely take a firmer stand when it comes to something like the israeli palestinian conflict they would not accept. western interference in domestic affairs but other than that it can be. a friendly mutually beneficial relationship if the worst accepts the choices that the people will make in free and democratic elections which is the only thing that the west should do actually mubarak's regime is gone in egypt that i think has gone however president assad's regime is still there in syria and. spiting melting international pressure there is the arab league now which

the west dominates the rest. >> stephen: why do you think the west is failing. >> because the thingsat made the west leap ahead economically and in terms of life expectancy and power, were six institutions that essentially we monopolized for about 500 years. >> stephen: what. >> competition, the scientific revolution, the rule of law based on representative government, and private property rights, modern medicine, the society and the work ethic. we monopolized those institutions and ideas for about 500 years but we don't any more. because other societies have copied them. and meanwhile evens if they, if you like, downloading our killer apps, we are in the process of deleting them and that's the problem. >> stephen: i didn't follow all of that. (laughter) >> we can do it again. >> stephen: the question is, when, when will we all be locked in a factory making ipads for chinese children? >> so the year's economy is the biggest in the world since 1872. >> stephen: number one. >> and will be overtaken, the imf says it will be overtaken by china in five years from now, 2016. >> stephen: wh

he really did bring apple to the west. love the way, you're a poet of course, and a novelist, and i love the way you talk about the apple and its metaphorical power and those the real power of johnny appleseed. >> and for bringing civilization to north america. i had to write about john chapman because most people think he was a creation of all -- walt disney are kind of a cartoon figure. a very real person, john chapman was born in massachusetts in 1774. his father was a minuteman in the revolution, served with washington at long island. the family grew orchard. going all the way back to england. he went into the western force in pennsylvania as a young man and continued across the ohio into ohio, and begin to plant apple trees with seeds. now, even then those orchard us grafted trees. if you planted siege of a one in six chance of getting a true apple. that is, you get all kinds of hydrogen things. at the house okay for the frontier because he was playing them for the the people following them. they preferred apple brand

but it reports the focus off the west for now remains else where. egypt descends into chaos once more the first signs of cracks appearing in the arab spring it's been the focus of the world's media spotlight but western leaders are turning a blind eye instead setting their sights on past just the abuses and loss of life. in syria the future of syria now depends upon the ability of all of us to keep pressure on them because of all called on president bush to make reforms for all around thirty people have died already in cairo's clashes and it's been all over the international media when this sort of crackdown happened in february received international condemnation what's the difference this time well those in charge in egypt western standards at work. in very good in libya in order to change the government because of threats against the people of garci they have put sanctions against some countries because of oppression of civil liberties i think the west basically quite happy to carry on with the military structure in egypt that will do to your sort

developed for you know the united nations and developed for that which happened in yugoslavia after the west decided to pick it apart so there is a legal basis you know the sure for this but the legal basis comes in or less at the point of a gun and so it's kind of hard to you know it's one thing to talk about a legal basis pro forma and it's another to talk about a legal basis that fuck though i really don't see a justification for what's happening in terms of the actual facts on the ground i just see one more active that's a pattern of blatant international aggression by nato in the united states cos of all has been a part of serbia for a long time. and kosovo and serbia did very well together with in yugoslavia until tensions were you know stirred up more or less by u.s. intelligence. and you can find more on the unstable situation cost when our website r t dot com to go online to get the latest updates as well as the background to the serbian causing conflict and you can also find a number of stories by our correspondents reporting from the scene all that is available on our website r t

to help them out one is japan which is also being somewhat reluctant global player with a lot of the west to key issues to solve and then of course china you know you have the moment of trillions of reserves were. sinking deeper into the debt hole this was i think you know quite predictable ok great if i can go to you in irvine and the chinese have been very hesitant because they see that the europeans just can't get their house in order they've created such a utter mess of their economies with this debt crisis here why would the chinese want it will we see the euro fail half year from now. you know first of all we've got to be clear when the chinese law to america or to europe it's not because they like it's merely to gain political advantage you know for which are economic exploitation like every other country and there's a moral here that even if it isn't different than other countries do i mean every country goes after self interest right and geopolitical interest as well. no where near is cutting and strategic as china does and we've got to be clear that finding our moral hazard in k

wanting to see the west continue to harm itself i do if you want to jump in there go right ahead. yes i was just going to say who sets the measure i mean who decides what's good and bad behavior you know i think we're at a point where the west has to think of all who decides what's good and bad are we really in the position i would given all the problems we have just talked top down to china and say what we decide this chord and what we think is good and what do you want to whisper i think that people approach which much more would be what can we do to kiev or to solve the problems ok great you want to reply to that do you think he decides to measure very good question you know well you know the. moral equivalency arguments really interesting until you come to face somebody who is truly evil we went through this whole same argument in the 1930's don't criticize the germans a lot of american companies whatever their set up business and said it's not our business so you're here if you create a board you're equating china of today to nazi germany of the one nine hundred thirty s. . ab
