political asylum in norway. escaped from a psychiatric facility last month. and up next we get an inside look of what it's like to work for the most wanted man on earth osama bin laden no one but not in reveals what was happening behind the scenes and why he's now encouraging extremists to give up violence. i'm in london today saying whether a leopard really can change its spots i'm talking to no man but not who is a former senior leader of the libyan islamic fighting group he spent several years with bin laden in afghanistan and in siege on in the one nine hundred ninety s. but he now advises on counting extremism for the quilliam foundation in london mr bennett and thank you very much for talking to r.t. now you maintain that you strongly discourage just our very large and from going

ahead with the september eleventh attacks what do you think has been the net result of those attacks for muslims all over the world i think it's it's a total chaos and disaster the outcomes it's negative for me for you take it from a muslim perspective i don't believe it's helping the muslims which with the other set up users and based on this if you like the strategy he said i would like to break the hold was the more so i believe one very important issue here blood and he said he would like to talk to defeat the enemy of islam and at the time he labeled the us as the head of peace like a coalition against us now but now he's ended up fighting every single muslim country how do you think that's happened yeah i think this is the problem when you can't maintain the difference between strategy and tactics and you start to take over taken by your tactics this is exactly what's happened and this is one of the explanation why and i heavily laden like terrorist activities because the flaws the strategy i don't believe what ever they have strategy running up to september the

eleventh what was the mood like in the in a circle we used to talk about the collation of the war itself against the us and the west and we are we're like bloody he's going to escalate the war after the have to be i think the ninety eight. attack against the the two u.s. embassies in east africa so that was the. argument about about you need to stop you have to stop this war because it's going to like chaos and disaster and muslims and afghanistan specifically but he insists that the time like he has like one operation he cannot cancel it now because it's too late and he said it's going to go crazy asian he should carry on and then he said after that he would really really try to do his best to stop the war using can stand like as the pace for his strategy to attack the world but by then it was too late wright bin laden vastly underestimated the response of the u.s.

to september eleventh so they never ever imagined retaliation or the way how the u.s. going to retaliate or to respond to attack but he was born myself and the people we want him like if you attack the homeland it's going to be really really very very tough. response from the u.s. and i remember i told him and already it's not going to afghanistan the u.s. will try to dominate the whole region let's go back into history for a moment because you fought with and are proud of having fought with them what you had seen in afghanistan against the soviet union how much do you know about links between the mujahideen and the cia at the time from the muslim perspective the war it's not against russia which the exist country now it was against communism even the soviet union muslims they've been provoked because of communism you know it's problematic issue even in the. muslim countries in the worst because you know

communism used to be labeled like the anti religion and god muslim christian or jew so it's very important like the ideological motivation how muslims they've been. encouraged to go on fight there but i know it was within the context of the cold war between the son. it's union and the u.s. so the mujahideen and when they fought there if you take it from the of going in perspective you know it's just a country being invaded and as i told you from a muslim perspective it was like by the power of god and to religion it's very this is the main if you like argument behind this in the muslim muslim world so then there's the element politics which is like the whole war if you like that all but the western world and the muslim countries the course and they support the war against the soviet union so when we went there we are fully aware of the political

context time not me. but the main issue here does that our agenda or not this is the main issue so if you ask me i didn't go there to hold the u.s. or the cia or i wanted to help muslims there to help the afghan people against an ideology of believe it's the real trick to islam i know the cia involved with him but i would like just to ask him if he can give us a single evidence or just one evidence that there at the time there is. communication or link between the cia and the arabs i can assure you it's very hard to prove that and even with the afghan mujahideen themselves you know there used to be a second part about i am where did they deal with the pakistani intelligence service . so even themselves didn't do the deal directly as sometimes there's a meeting but but used to control every single issue especially like the military stuff emissions fund it's all it has to go to. afghanistan and

while we talk about the cia a soldier will be a muslim country and one of the leading muslim countries in the world every participated at the time on the war so here we have a very simple powerful muslim country involved in the war where you are receiving weapons from the u.s. no it's not quite the out of when we would. we just get the weapons if you ask me in my own experience it's from two main parties you know i am my personal experience here i thought with just that idea how many now he's very famous because of what's called network so our weapons used to be from his like from his commanders and these people you know on the frontline and from. me we are libyans we used to cooperate with him a lot so it's that if you talk about military i believe if you ask any single arab or muslim you know he's not a guy and he participate in the jihad he will give you the name of

a local commander so you never directly met any cia representative in afghanistan i've never ever seen anyone there. for a minute i've seen either don't know this or once it happened like the you after the horse battle which is very flames when i was there but you know see like people from the u.s. they are from different countries they been there and they entered the city to stop to get help to the locals i'm like yes but i've never ever seen any like or even pakistani i've never ever seen any books thing for sure where but you know but it was like very supportive to the media as a i think it's a myth to see even the level of forbearance you know if you like to go down very deep but this is all the witness it was a soviet made you know it's like the eastern bloc still very proud of the time he spent in afghanistan now the u.s. is the invading force that what's the difference between those two conflicts in most of the muslim scholars in the world. they have

a different point of view now from the war what's going on the most of them delivered as if it's a civil war you know muslim be killing each other despite the presence of american and nato there so we don't have like a significant real support from muslims around the world you know like skulls and talk about the religious happens and it was the case when you talk about the first war against the soviet union or communism you haven't renounced jihads entirely you still support something that's called defensive jihad that seems like rather a gray area particularly when it concerns countries like iraq and afghanistan no it's it's like this. when you talk about jihad as a religious duty or concept it's something be mentioned in the koran at least forty times ok we believe koran it's something been read by god to prophet muhammad peace be upon him it's not like someone just come up with the idea jihad it's not just religious duty and then we said this is exactly what kind of doing so it's

a religious duty that means just don't kill yourself i think jihad should be and should be understood within the statistical coalitions because it's at the end of the day war what we see now was a kind of call jihad or other jihadi groups they don't have the support from the muslim countries themselves and they don't have the support from the cause which is pretty fairly important issue the religious taboo every single war you know don't support the jihad people there are a sponsor war everywhere in the world against many nations and countries and societies they don't have the difference between soldiers and combat troops and civilians and they have checked jihad first of all then to islam itself as a religion i think we should really start to talk about jihad not within the muslim perspective it's too late now so we need to accept that other people from different nations in the war they have the right to start to talk with us about jihad and how

we should control it how to. what's the meaning of jihad but you yourself have lawrence jihad against the libyan government what would you say is the relationship between what you are saying now and your fair of any repercussions from this possibility in government regarding libya. yeah i think it was wrong from the beginning you know to start like a deadly. conflict and using violence against against the government and the regime because it's like you cannot fight against the government by its own society itself will be forced to involve in this conflict sometimes you have a legitimate claim you need something to do you need to achieve something yeah i can tell you i'm one hundred percent sure using violence from the muslim groups it's been proved by history we have it now it's more than thirty years now it's stronger the outcomes it's

a total failure and not the first time saying this and i have derived one of the few people have the right to say this because i said this in the year two thousand and nobody at the time listening or aware of this and i'm saying this with people all of them they're still alive and they can talk they were there when i said it's a portal for the outcomes of the jihad movement it's a total failure that means we need to change their strategy that's the end of the period so i think now the main solution is all the islamic groups they should give up their aren't struggle and give it back to the governments whether with that we like them or not it's not love and hate it's politics so you need to give it back to the government of the selves and you should so involved in political struggle if you have still have a political issue and use your twenty's twenty five years as a bank round as someone being proud of himself you've been in danger if you put your life on the line i use that as if you like a background if i may say you know we create yourself as

a politician. he was that could be a good role model because now i think it's pretty dangerous to go and from one conflict to another one conflict on the i think a war region especially in the middle east can't stand this anymore. thank you very much thank you.

this is not a. war. with . no idea about the hardships the face. is the most precious thing in the world. to live. life stories from.

nine hundred forty five. the best scientific minds have gathered in moscow to ensure the arctic doesn't turn into a battlefield for mineral resources several nations including russia canada and the u.s. are in the race for the billions of tons of gas in the region. world leaders tackle global poverty. and world security at the u.n. millennium summit in york on the sidelines russia and nato met to discuss cooperation on missile defense and aunts limits in europe. and a russian martial arts fighter with a history of violence and extremism is seeking political asylum in norway. escaped from a psychiatric facility last march. those were our top stories this hour and up next

i saw the latest in sports with. hello there welcome to the sport and this is what is coming up. high hopes to naama plays to use their latest cup run to boost their flagging league campaign. plus it's still anyone's title as drivers prepare for the latest grand prix in singapore. still we take an in-depth look at one of the show's most successful teams master the course. but first the normal moscow hope their run in the russian cup will kickstart their league campaign the muscovites reached the quarter finals with a four one win against a lower league side vulgar the visitors had taken the surprise lead from. a good finish but the nastiest got an equaliser on the stroke of half time before

the muscovite scored three more in the second half they like ten from the russian premier league and want to spark success as life this season i worked on the margin of the russian cup is very important for us because we want some european football next season between us struggle the premier league so the cup was crucial for the. other top flight side he had a bit of trouble again so there was a composition after goalless going they needed penalties to be going at it previously not that dr might a felony next by ross stuff and defeated volga gazprom to kneel in a certain russian darby alexander pub lenk at a price tag while it was a starry night for premier league sides over in england this chelsea liverpool and manchester city all went crashing out of the third round of the carling cup however . aston villa and weekend progressed in spain defending champions barcelona had moved up to third in the league if they got an unconvincing one nil when sporting gian that would be is that the difference at the new camp. unless you fail to

regain the top spot after salvaging one zero against visiting acid to penetrate some yeah open eighteen minutes in the space they take a hand to attack i and it's a great headed home to say plenty of russians seven minutes from time like that's something i wanted to tell you. and another piece for the sporting boss has been officially unveiled as the new coach of the portugal national team the forty one year old is expected to stay in charge at least until the end of the qualifying campaign for euro two thousand and twelve they were runners up in two thousand and four but had just one point from their opening. book. but like to think the porter just football federation for the trust issue to me and i hope we can achieve our goal of qualifying for euro twenty twelfth but to do this i need all the support i can get from the technical team. and also from journalists as you are completely has been far from perfect so far. delhi officials have hit

back at criticism over its preparations for the commonwealth games or several teams save on their travel after gaining assurances from organizers about health and safety of the games are due to start in just over a week and their work claims the athletes' village was uninhabitable unhygienic that opened today with scotland and wales saying they're happy that improvements have been made however not everyone is convinced the pedestrian bridge scene here collapsed near the main stadium and that generated concern and there are also fears over security after two tourists were shot in delhi last sunday for athletes including three world champions of so far pulled out while the struggling government has issued strict safety guidelines to its competitors let's hear from them but also indian officials who insist delhi is able to host the games i understand from talking of the strain saying that they all have some very strict travel restrictions in place for games athletes in terms of travelling outside the

village and outside games facilities and of course the strand authorities are working through our heart condition talking directly with the indian authorities but also talking to the commonwealth games federation who we need to make the call about all the games facilities and obviously the start of the of the sporting event security arrangements in delhi are very good very effective. if a particular country wants to sure that crazy that is within their own freedom. but i can only say. many countries which you know really is going to have security issues what goes on. now rain is forecast for this weekend's singapore grand prix but whatever the weather it is shaping up to be one of the most exciting finishes to a formula one world championship take a look and it was races left by both webber lead just by five points and that is how much and that's nothing when you consider twenty five points are given for a win and just behind us and under a long and defending champion jenson button is loving every minute of this season.

so it's very very close so i think this is the most exciting year i've ever known in formula one. since i've been racing. you know for me going into the next five races. i'm having so much fun of the moment and whatever happens this year you know obviously my aim is to win the world championship again and retain my title thank you but i think. one of us wins really deserves it because it's such a tough season to be fighting in formula one so so competitive well two thousand and eight runner up finish is one of those drivers still in contention for the title at least mathematically the ferrari man lie six in the standings sixty three points adrift of leader mark webber and massa knows this and paul graham praise going to be a demanding what i really had to come back here is a place i always enjoy. and he's those so. very

different a track you know compared to the to the other tracks maybe more no is the closest one but here is much bigger than monaco you know one. here means like. so that makes the track not easy but very challenge should be a great race now the new season is still only a couple of weeks but one team desperate to be champions this time around a metal magnet of course they've never won the garden cup despite winning just about every other former. takes a closer look at that scene and the town built from steel. strike world are in this heart that's what this team has consistently done to be gone one of the giants of russian and european ice hockey three time domestic jam

bands two done yearly winners from when you the worst one of russia's largest industrial in mining cities are more often than not labeled as favorites in every tournament they put a spade in meanwhile the continental hockey league and its major trophy the garden cup remains elusive. goal this is just another from season to season we have the same game planes are potential and get to the finals just a simple as that the kids shell has become a much stronger competition recently so the season must be even tougher. nevertheless me told him get significant bring foresman for the challenge ahead and your head coach gonna hate kill a little committee for the good girl and go finals in two thousand and nine and really it was named the league's best building down and pulled these two to the foot of the ural mountains of course here is like a lot of experience but this team has been reading i guess you see all the plaques

up in the roof so this thinnest knows how to win and there's lots of experienced players so. of course we have a lot like a new coaching staff and we have new system some new players and it's always take a while you know out there everybody to get used to this system san and. and i think like like every other way. there's no point looking too forward and making big plans and predictions you should just work hard every day and see what happens my only aim is to help with the luke leaf the garden club which saw them going. the steel makers have another a c. in their pack losses in little rock sign one of the greatest russian players ever three time in the chill stanley cup winner gave the order of the four year old superstar fully aware that this move to me give the board was about much more than goals and assists. i talked a few people on the management. constantly talking to some coaches team.

give me some of the response and they ask me a lot of interesting. questions i've been very careful to say too much or too little i just want to. let them know what i feel or what i think. sort of decide what to do next now it's time to finally be more about the method mountain city which is the english form of the course it's definitely best known for its steel and iron works the serious role during world war two going to be overestimated as it's applied much of the steel for the soviet army at the same time its location near the ural mountains made it relate it was saved from not seen raiders by the way monkey of the world is one of those places where different parts of the world collide i mean asia if you step forward. i'm in europe now. but every european trends are certainly more evident here. especially when it

comes to ice hockey in a welcome addition discount from west to east. steel and iron works it's like a sight seeing the city. but besides this the filmmakers what the very first question how the club to be supported by their own cheerleaders. of course there is one other very important element parents. biggest them uncle was the muslim i never miss a single home work if the work can use you in hockey give up the work that's my motto now actually i'm already retired so there's nothing to stop me from supporting my favorite teams. are to eat. and that brings us to the end of the sport. is coming up.
