why it went to war in iraq won't get to see the private correspondence between former prime minister tony blair and former american presidents george w. bush it's thought it might shed light on exactly why the u.k. got dragged into the invasion one of the politicians whose party was in power at the time now gives his insight. today i'm in london with jeremy corbyn he was a member of parliament with the labor party and also an antiwar campaigner we are here as tony blair appears before the chilcote inquiry for the second time jeremy cope and thanks very much for talking to r.t. now this as i've said is not the first time that blair is appearing before the iraq inquiry can you just remind us what happened last time while he was very nervous to begin with came into the room and was asked some questions of

a moderately robust way about the evidence leading up to his decision to recommend a power might we know very few to rock and then the latter part of it turned into the sort of tony blair lecture in defense of his policies on some what he calls humanitarian intervention and then went on to warn the whole world about what he perceived to be this danger from iran and i thought the whole thing was a travesty because this is meant to be an inquiry looking into the absolute finite details of the decision to go to war with iraq and it turned into from tony burke to the force and i'm quite pleased that he's been recalled to the inquiry and i hope this time the inquiry shows its mettle and goes through again with tony blair . the legal advice he was given why he sought a second u.n. resolution if he thought the first one was efficient to authorize an invasion and

why he then recommended to parliament that there was an overwhelming case of the danger of weapons of mass destruction and why we should go to war and i think he's got a great deal thoughts are what are we expecting this time around today the question is going to be more robust i hope so and i think so because the chilcot inquiry feel quite nervous about public perceptions of their role and their effectiveness in. activity so i think this time around it probably will be quite tough and blair is really their key witness he must be he's absolutely essential to the whole process because he's the only one that was involved in every single one of the decisions in every single one of the meetings he's the one that saw the attorney general's apparently informal advice he's the one who decided what from the attorney general would be put in front of the cabinet he's the one who discussed with jack straw and with jeremy greenstock what went before the un security council and he's the one that decided what he was going to say to parliament and what he didn't say to parliament so yes he's absolutely essential to it but this is in

a sense the last chance saloon for british public inquiries because we had the foreign office for the first committee inquiry we had the parliamentary process is and them gordon brown agreed that this inquiry would be set up and indeed it has been set up. if we're to have any reasonable standing as an effective democracy then this inquiry has got to go into some fairly serious detail about it and recommendations about what's going to happen next now is not a judicial inquiry which many of us wanted but i get the feeling that a legal process could emanate as a result of the evidence that's going to come out and how impressed are you with the inquiry safer are you do you do you think its depth and usefulness has been what you hoped it would be i have mixed feelings about it. i don't. denigrate it i think they have tried quite hard in many ways they have spoken to families they

have taken a great deal of evidence families of soldiers who tragically lost their lives in iraq and they're now taking evidence with tourney coming back but i remain on the judgment slightly skeptical that it isn't going to just say there has to be improvements in the processes of government and law has to be better recording of meeting regional what sort of things probably yes. maybe that's not the is you the issue is this country involved itself in what i believe to be an illegal invasion of another country we've lost a considerable number of british soldiers a much larger number of american soldiers and others have died and tens of thousands of iraqis probably half a million iraqis have died as a result of this and is the world a safer place no is the threat of terrorism there is no is this a good way forward for world international law no you mention that a legal process might result from the chill cos inquiry. do you think that if tony

blair was prosecuted for war crimes as many people want that would result in the world in fact being a safe place i think if a european politician former head of government in the case of tony blair was actually brought before the. international court in the hague and investigated the rest the world would have far more respect for the international process because the moment the most prominent people who have come before it have been. the attempts at arresting the president of sudan the current trial that's going on charles taylor from liberia and the past process on milosevic and the situation in yugoslavia but the perpetrators of this war. iraq war are in the united states and in in europe and i think it would do an awful lot for

the standing of this because there is a bit of a feeling around that ok you go off to big guys in small countries you won't go after big guys in big countries what do you think blair's legacy is and how do you think it will impacts their position of the u.k. in terms of the rest of the world well in politics it's quite possible to go from hero to zero and back again. blair became leader of the labor party in the one nine hundred ninety s. change the whole structure of the labor party and had a very easy with the labor party because. we were desperate with a ninety seven election his government really had sort of three strange directions to it and they were actually sort of rather different he was always and remains a market politician he believes in a market economy he's not a socialist in the sense of any kind of economic transformation yet his government

at the same time did introduce quite important social legislation national minimum wage sure start children's centers and human rights activists and quite good things on that and quite libertarian in the sense of age of consent and issues like that then in foreign policy starting out from an ethical foreign policy under robin cook we rapidly descended into being a total poodle of the bush administration in the usa and blair's legacy what ever else he says or does in his life is always going to be iraq blair was labeled bush's spoilt puppy by the british media do you think that the u.k.'s relationship with the us has changed at all since he left power blair associate himself totally with bush and the strange thing was after nine eleven which was a dreadful event like absolute condemn what happened on nine eleven everybody else condemned it but blair went. one stage first you made a very strange speech about we have to pay the blood price for the relationship with the usa hence we went to war with afghanistan he associate himself with bush

more than anybody else and i do remember at one parliamentary labor party meeting i asked him said well where's the benefits of our special relationship with the usa how much employees do you really have a bush and his reply was a voice holder that the influence would would end for which. a lot of people blair is a politician who has very high regard for his own ability house has very limited respect for international law hence he would not of promulgated this idea of humanitarian intervention instead he would have worked through the un and international law i think that's his legacy the other thing is his behavior since he ceased to be a prime minister is an obsessive touring around the world collecting very large fees for speaking engagements it's reported in the press last week that he's made twelve million pounds since he ceased to be prime minister some awful to money.

blair made it clear that he wouldn't allow iran to develop nuclear weapons do you think if he were still in charge we'd already be at war with iran he seemed to me to be building up a case for action against iran from very early on and i think we have to recognize there's a terrible danger in all of this i absolutely condemn human rights abuses anywhere in the world are condemned under saddam hussein i condemn them what's going on in the present for the purpose of intervention in the wrong is not about human rights and the whole thing is about iran's position in the world iran is a powerful country has a great deal of oil it has a great deal of military it also has a great sense of its position the persian empire the derivatives of it they also have a sense of grievance against the west for the coup in one nine hundred fifty two for the exploitation of the oil for the imposition of the shar and also the behavior towards the islamic republic and so i think we have to have

a dialogue with iran they don't have nuclear weapons at the moment they are signatories to nuclear nonproliferation treaty they have withdrawn from the voluntary supplementary protocol i think we should be upping in gauge with iran rather than the sanctions policy and the isolation of iran engagement is likely to bring about improvements in human rights in gauge what is likely to bring about the prospects of iran working with the rest of the world and engagement would actually strengthen the hands of civil society in iran as well we hope and thank you very much you very welcome thank you.

welcome to dispose have you with us. so i can see you give us one of the over the third round rushes sole remaining male usually wins the day for girl straight in open. up against a russian football once a mob and its police ruled police has a tough task ahead of him is from your manager terry gross me. the dakar rally with his. triumph and welcomed. celebrates winning the event time. with tennis russia still has one representative left in the men's draw the australian open of the mccall youzhny blush and a grueling five secs encounter seem to be going well for the ten c. as he raced into

a two cents to lob lead however being an opponent hit back to send the match into a decider usually managed to hold his nerve in the faith taking at six one a first round meeting with ryan h. world number one rafael nadal was hardly troubled in his match top seed was up against ryan sweeting the american was powerless to stop the dow raced into a two cents to love lead to be no stopping the spine you see ramps up the tree in just over an hour and a half to set up a meeting with bernard tomic in the first round. i think. we're going back and. i said of myself. the first day i was suddenly well today all the. to the right of the chariot of fire. the sign was that i was very difficult for moments but in general i think of myself works for good with the world today so happy for the. staying with tennis it

was a day of contrasting holes for russia's women at the australian open which got off to a pretty awful start russia's goals for them by a winner new york with a sickly advantage losing out to simona halep and straight sense from the towns in kirilenko both want to check opponents things however did start to pick up former two time australian open junior champion understood see publishing about the germany's christine nobody else in street said second see that as one of the over was going to stay in her marriage but eventually prevailed in free to. beat an advantage in the opening round is also through. the show my face not a patrol was far too good for the home favorite at least one like the russian who reached the quarter finals at melbourne last year was made to work in the first saints when she took six for the muscovite finally going much easier in a second and she took it six one record victory in an hour in ten minutes and set

up a third round meeting with a fellow russian. while kim clijsters who destroyed dinara safina six love six loft in round one was in just as dominant form against colace was novato didn't manage another double bagel she still managed to beat the spaniard six one six three next to the belgian he's never won the australian open title is from says at least part of me. and went out there with the intention to to stay very aggressive and to you know not let my opponent kind of player game and that is you know try to really mix it up and. play with a lot of spin and. know you can only do that when she has a lot of time i think it was really up to me to try and kind of limit that from. really be aggressive when i was out there and i did. but on the football now the mood pollutes who is appointed the new manager of russian premier league side terry gross earlier this week will be arriving in russia on saturday the club's president

did of his had a top five finish as a goal for the dutch first season in charge of the club's win the champions league in the future russian football right imo ben it's this whole it's will be up again states at the czech chan club for thinking of a lot of problems in chechnya because. basically he doesn't speak russian and i don't i feel a massive culture shock when it comes to that and although terrible promising they're going to attract world class players to the side i think that any amount of money will be very difficult to war plays even to russia chechnya which has been the site of the brutal fighting in recent recent years in terry my we more just on the publicist side the p.r. side of things or an actual footballing side because russian the russian foreign trade is that really do very well with the exception of he can undercut and i think he said he wants them next year to get in the top. and get in europa league place which means top five which would be a major achievement if we can get him to do it i think saying that he wants them to

win the champions and increase or maybe put in a little bit too much pressure on the guy has even started the job it. would be a miracle if they wouldn't but anything is possible of course. well the asian cup defending champions in iraq have managed to make it through to the quarter finals a one zero win for them over korea and author place in the last page of play australia around made sure they went through as group winners of the three no drubbing of united arab emirates news for australia both beverage of the quarters but might have to make do with one of the very goal scoring midfielder tim cahill injured his knee in their one nil win over bahrain and did not train on wednesday teammate harry kill is optimistic he'll be fit enough to play on saturday. i'm sure until tomorrow to be a before we go to great medical stuff here and there working around the clock to make sure. the kids is playing the principal. challenges and all that of course
