challenges that will ripple not through -- not only through the middle east, but through europe and into the west. the numbers of jihad he is going europe, africa, asia, even several north america, it grants to make syria a far bigger long-term problem and challenge politically and in terms of security than afghanistan was. that is something we have been living with now for a quarter- century. please define the difference between an islamist and a jihadist? e an islamist is a political term. includes those like the muslim brotherhood and some of the political parties. they have tried to work in some cases peacefully within the political system of iran. to how these are the ones who are militant. this is an important distinction. the islamists are far larger in areer, but the jihad hes disproportionately powerful because they take up more space. they are willing to put their lives on the line. >> do the jihadist have any allegiance to al qaeda? as we traditionally new al qaeda? where osama bin laden in some ways is not the picture that he was. the al qaeda phenomenon, it is a franchise operation n

be interesting here is to get a sense of where the world economy's getting it on to the west of the times in europe. now we are starting to look forward to better times. the streets of the american economy the chinese economy ought to be the top topics here. i then of course all throughout the week you call meetings around the middle east iran syria talks with iran on uk programme that. that and say you have a mix your acting ingredients of the economic and security topics. i met and beyond give for mixture of reasons. p after stepping away from the prime minister's office blair was appointed by the un special envoy for mideast affairs is calling on the international community to seek a peaceful solution to this era crisis and push for peace and stability in the middle east the cause. there is always the fierce opposition to president assad for reasons that very clear. this will somehow lead to anxiety concern about elements of the opposition extremism and so on. true it up we gotta do that. in this sector. well let's go live to davos moment in time is now in a new president has some honey is now d

a series of challenges that will ripple, not only across the middle east but arguably into europe, into the westat the number of jihadis going in to fight from europe africa, asia, even some from north america, threatens to make syria a far longer problem than afghanistan was, and that's something we have been living with for a quarter century. >>rose: would you help me define the difference between an islamist and jihaddist? >> islam it's is a political term, muslim brotherhood and some of the political parties that have tried to work in some caress peacefully within the program. jihadis are the fighters, the militants pickup terms to fight. there is a really important distinction, the islamists are far larger in numbers but the jihadis while smaller in number are disproportionately powerful because they pick up been onary -- weaponry and take up suicide bombs. >>rose: do the jihaddists take up with al qaeda? >> osama isn't the fixture he was. but the al qaeda phenomenon it is a frash operation, pick up the line, that have proliferated from north africa into southeast asia and what she can do -

they are dividing the west, got the u.n., u.s., europe, all disagreeing, they split the syrian opposition away from agreeing with -- and it is a mess. but tehran is brilliant, as far as remark in new yorker that obama made about al qaeda junr varsity, the jv team is the white house. lou: this analogue that he create, about junior varsity and kobe bryant. it is so to me, absolely inoffible to describe what a condone sending patronizing simplistic expression of his foreign policy. >> it fits right in with the campaign pledge, al-qaedaa on the rope, we have bin laden, in his mind this is over, yet this is the jvrunning circles around him, they are now bigger than the entire varsity team, they will takeover the varsity. lou: last thing i want to do is lapse into his constrct of that metaphor, but, you have now, putin, in real trouble it appears for security. the security threats posed by rrorists and his countryry, the -o-called bck widows, 4 at range. large, and a white widow within the grods at sochi within the olympic village, i mean is this being driven by iran? is there any possibility o

but i think if the democracies of the west, of europe and north america, want to show that these values of democracy and human rights and civil society and the rule of law of which they talk are more than just words on paper and they actually mean something, i think they should not remain silent. they should tell the crooks and the abusers, those who violate their rights and steal the money of russian citizens, that they are not welcome in the nations of the democratic west. and do this by passing and fully implementing measures. and they should also do this by refusing to lend putin's regime, the international legitimacy and the international respect that it so desperately craves and in my view does not deserve. it's clear that for putin the sochi olympics is conscious it's not about sports, it's about a show of respect from the free world for him. as a leader of an equal standing. it's encouraging that he will not get that show of respect, at least not to the exent that he wanted. after we heard prime minister cameron, president obama and many other world leaders indicating that there

the wests leans more toward europe and they support the opposition but chat with opposition is demanding is early presidential e elections, sometime later this year. they also want a repeal of those repressive laws that were passed last week and went into effect this week that essentially criminalized freedom of expression, many forms of protests here the president had offered to reconsider those laws, but he wanted to do it through parliament. the obviopposition say while th accept what the president said, they want much, much more, and they will continue negotiations. >> so jennifer, has the president given any indication that he might step down or at least call early elections as so many there want? >> reporter: that for him as so far been a demand too far. he has moved an awful lot in a week, jonathan. a week ago, sitting down with the opposition would have been unthinkable. he signed into law those measures really without any thought of the protesters here he has been ignoring these protesters for two months. it was only on sunday when the protests turned violent that he actually ag

and so for russia to give up syria is like giving up access to the entire half of europe, africa and anything to the west strategically russia has no intention of giving up access to the mediterranean, so yet, russia has signed the geneva 1 communique. it has pledged that it will consider a transitional government that will remove assad. so they are trying to play both cards right now. so what kerry is trying to do, very diplomatically with the russians, is to ease russia toward that point that we talked about, ease russia towards the notion that it can't support assad anybody. it doesn't have the diplomatic leverage and assad doesn't have the support in order for russia to show their financial and military support to the government. and yet russia still hasn't been convinced of that. one report last week said there were more military weapons going into syria than ever before. so that's not challenge, for kerry to try to convince russia that assad is truly isolated and we have to move on to a syria that has no future with assad. >> a quick break now, and when we come back i'll have more guests to talk wi

west. theygot the u.n., u.s., europe all disagreeing.osition away from agreeing with the u.n. it's an absolute mess. but tehran is brilliant. as far as the remark in the new yorker obama made about al qaeda being the junior varty. the junior varsity team is the white house and they're not playing for the seahawks. >> this analogue, this met for about junior varsity and kobe bryant, it's so, to me, absolutely inefable to describe what a condescending, pat tronizing, simplistic expression of his foreign policy. >> it fits right in with the whole campaign pledge. al qaeda is on the ropes, we got osama bin laden. al qaeda is finished. in his mind it's over. and yet, this is the j.v. that's running circles arounn him, whether it's the boston bombers, benghazi. the j.v. isigger than the entire varsity team and they are eventually going to take over the varsity. >> the last thing i want to do is go into his construction of that metaphor. you have putin in real trouble it appears for the security threats posed by the terrorists in his country, t

to west germany in the military alliance as well as in unifying europe. that was a very different proposition to being -- japan's immediate neighbors were communist china and south korea which was its ally and then you have north korea and there was an east asian alliance in any way comparable to the european committee or nato. that is one reason. i think the other reason is and also one mustn't overstate the warmth of the relations between germany and its immediate neighbors. certainly i remember in 1974, no 1988 when my own country the netherlands beat germany in a soccer championship. more people into the streets to celebrate then on may 5, 1945 at the end of the war. [laughter] having said that they were very different wars. and there were two germanys. there was west germany and east germany and they have were different relations to the outside world. as far as west germany's concerned when people talk about coming to terms with the pass and that kind of thing people are not talking about the invasion of norway. they are talking about the holocaust.

this is in many ways a divide between ukraine's wanting to turn towards the west, towards europe andsia wanting to keep it in fear, that is how this all started, nine weeks ago and really is the big factor here and many people in western ukraine who feel that ukraine should be part of the european union and that was part of the statement that the state department issued yesterday when it said victoria the assist and secretary of state would come here and discuss the ukraine european future on the agenda and russia is not going to like that and already suspended their $15 billion aid program until they see what the new government looks like so it really makes things just more uncertain here stephanie. >> reporter: jennifer glasse reporting on developments in ukraine and jennifer thank you.
