Gorbachev Criticizes US 'Empire'

The former Soviet leader, Mikhail Gorbachev, has blamed the US for the current state of relations between Russia and the West.In a BBC interview, Mr Gorbachev said that the Russians were ready to be constructive, but America was trying to squeeze them out of global diplomacy.

He added that the Iraq War had undermined Tony Blair's credibility.

Mr Gorbachev accused America of "empire-building", which he said the UK should have warned it away from.
