a lot of your putin on day two of his visit. more thoughts on libya now is our to hear from britain's former ambassador to the country oliver miles says the reaction such as the un's travel ban on khadafi is in his opinion questionable. today i'm talking to you all of the miles he's a former british ambassador we're going to be talking about the situation in the country at the moment the west response to it and how it might unfold out of miles thank you very much for talking to r.t. now isn't the west's response to the situation in libya dangerously close to what we saw before the invasion of iraq i'm thinking of this pre-pay snow flies saying these claims that we've heard that he has chemical weapons and also this talk around the world of military intervention. well there is a parallel but i think there are some important differences to look on the one i think i'd focus on is that the although there's been some. rather bellicose talk

from both london and washington and perish. the what they've actually done there's no actual security council straightaway and they've got full agreement in the security council unanimous support for a resolution which didn't refer to war to military action or anything of that kind so it's not. part of i don't think so any person's at least partially responsible for what's going on in libya and what we saw in egypt previously after all london did support these regimes for as long as it seemed to fit well i think that's a bit much actually i mean the british press take that view the british press are always going on about you know the meeting in the desert between tony blair and i think it's true they did meet in the desert and they did a deal and it was a very useful deal for us but after all sarkozy and berlusconi and condi rice and mr putin and everybody else have all done deals with libya so there's nothing specially british about it it's the world has been doing business with libya and in

my opinion quite right too because after all libya has all which we need the world market needs and libya needs from the world practically everything else from from airplanes to grains and something when i say we it's not the west or britain or europe it's everybody everybody china taiwan russia indonesia brazil you name it they're all there everybody is our part to and we've recently seen a diplomatic mission goals in that sense in that have. seen is the u.k. actively trying to engage with the rebels well i hope so i mean they're not going to want to know that it was so good i think it's rather embarrassing i don't think it would produce diplomacy at its best to be frank i have said that to the british media as well but yes we should be talking to the rebels i think it's. it's a difficult thing to do it's not unique i mean in the big picture of situations indeed it's in a way paolo the situation in afghanistan where we should be talking to people we're

fighting against libya we are not fighting against anybody but we should be talking to the different parties we are talking to the fish people william hague said the other day that he personally would on the telephone much occlusion of the libyan foreign minister who was one of the put off his closest supporters. and i think we've also got to reach out to the others and digital people who firstly because tripoli won't want us to do it unfortunately will they will put a spoke in the wood if they can and secondly because the situation is still very disorganized there isn't a military problem structure of there isn't a political structure for the beginnings of political trouble but no nothing purports to be a state yet we now know that that s.a.'s mission was approved by foreign secretary william hague was the sending of that team of soldiers in legal or just that act illegal for it was illegal under libyan law years i mean an unemotional was no it's illegal to land a helicopter in

a little somebody else's country full of on men yes i think it was it certainly was illegal but on the other hand there's a lot going on any of the moment that you might describe is illegal that's the nature of a civil conflict isn't it and we talked about the question of france going to the u.n. security council how likely is it do you think that nato will approve some kind of military intervention in libya and if they don't think that the u.k. and the u.s. will go in anyway as things are at the moment i think it's most unlikely. particularly because turkey which is an important member of nato is dead against intervention. i think that would be others as well probably but turkey has already shown its hand so to speak i think that the as a matter of fact i don't believe anyone at the moment is really pushing for military intervention. there's been a lot of talk of a no fly zone and people are gradually coming to realize that the no fly. which sounds rather innocent form of intervention actually involves a lot of military intervention because the first thing you have to do if you have

a no fly zone is make sure that you are limited to the effective anti-aircraft defenses of libya well. i guess libya is absolutely for vent here across missiles but must be hundreds and thousands of they've been accumulating them for the last forty years how many of them actually would go off if they pull the trigger is not the master i don't suppose they know that themselves but they're all over the place so eliminating them would be a big job so in fact a no fly zone does constitute some form of military intervention oh absolutely i just don't know it off a tour and i think it's just proportionate for the moment because why do you have a no fly zone because gadhafi has an air force and the fear is that he might use the effectively and that the rebels would have no option to it and there would be a humanitarian disaster well that's all possible but it hasn't happened yet what's happened so far is that the air force has made a rather pathetic showing two of the aircraft promptly defected to malta rather than bomb their own side we've heard reports of bombing all the bombs

seem to have missed whatever they were meant to hit and every day you think well who knows who knows. stories of attacks right from the beginning of the conflict in the giving stories of attacks on civilian populations but i don't know of a single authenticated case i think we've all probably had the experience i don't myself going to media of course from telephoning anyone they can find in libya and the story you get from everybody is all right here where i am the same shooting and it sounds nasty but i'm not going outside to look and yes i have heard stories of bombs but none of them in my area that seems to be the general picture so i don't believe it really i think is disproportionate for at the moment to talk about a new fly zone and that's why both the british and the americans have been talking about being ready and there's nothing wrong with telling your military to be ready for an adventure. that's that's a different matter and what are the chances do you think that if nato and other countries don't say ok the u.s. and the u.k.

anyway i think most of the most likely it will be a big job and we are already pretty heavily involved both on we we've got enough on our plate with afghanistan the americans are going off on their plate with iraq and afghanistan i think it's most unlikely you can ever completely rule these things up but i don't see it and let's talk a bit about libya's relationship directly with the u.k. we hear this a lot of libya's oil wealth is invested through loans and there's assets now being frozen but could they be used as a ballgame chip with gadhafi i suspect from what i've heard so far that it's a blunt instrument and i'm one of the things i'm unhappy about is that although as i said at the beginning i'm glad that we were at the security council and i think it was the right thing to do and one who thought because you know the decision for the security council i think when you start to look at the small print of the decision to try to be not very helpful for example. one of our ministers liam fox said last week and i think he was quite right that the best solution of this

problem would be for good after to leave well if if one takes that you know why does the u.n. force a law which says that no country can accept him and that wherever he goes he's going to be subject to persecution surely we should have said that well if if you look very carefully at the u.n. resolution you find that in the small print was a clause which says that this ban on travel panic should be lifted by the security council in appropriate patient so you know that he was to write an application in triplicate and send it into the new york after a lot of time the lawyers might come up with a solution but that's not what's going to happen if he decides to go go he'll. what we should have done is offer him a free ticket to the bad way a one way so you're saying that even though everybody seems to want him to leave his office now actually trapped in it well of course he would be effortless for example and i don't know whether it's the african pretty obvious place to think of the necessarily fall of the un rules. if he arrives with a bag of gold and says i want to stay in your country will probably be allowed to do so another thing that has been in the press

a lot recently is concerning to his sons who are educating their precious universities which in turn receives generous donations from them do you think that that will prompt the u.k. to now look more closely at who is allowed to come and study in this country and how they're being funded i sincerely hope not. i'm really worried about the media reaction to this particular case and what is worrying to me is that. although i can't be sure or in fact i have no real basis for what i'm going to say but i'll say it anyway knowing what i do or say for the lifestyle. how for his life has been his curriculum veto so far i simply don't understand how you could possibly have spread to all three or four years full time. had a genuine doctor a full blown speech root canal which after all is one of our prestige universities to get a doctorate ability is no joke i'm not saying he's not clever enough he may well be clever enough but how did he do it in the time i just don't believe it so i think

it's different so that's i think a good reason for the director of the plum school of economics to resign which is dumb and i applaud him for it i think the honorable thing to do what clearly he had no no most likely had any direct hand in the business but it's his responsibility however he then went on to say that he apologized for a wrong drug for him that he'd been to libya and talked about cooperation between the london school of economics live and i don't agree with that at all i think it was quite right to do that and he shouldn't apologize for it i'm worried that other british universities and other universities around the world would have had links with libya may know feel that they have to back off they shouldn't because the logic of that is they would back off not just from libya but from everywhere else. they would like all of their i said from russia they would back off from algeria they were from saudi arabia they would back off for they would where would it stop or would it stop now i think it's in everybody's interest but britain for example

let's stick with britain for a moment should be teaching students from all over the world it's in everybody's advantage our advantage their advantage i hope it doesn't stop to think that colonel gadhafi has the support of the majority of his people and the loyalty of the army as he says he does i think there's a there's a strong current of freedom and. liberation opening up flowing from egypt continues here which libyans of course feel very close to and i think it was a strong feeling that we've had enough and that gadhafi has got to go but how wide that goes on and why he's able to keep so many people demonstrating for him and streets of tripoli are i'm afraid i can't really answer specific sentence on what money he pays people demonstrate for but it's also on my loyalty and it's very difficult to distinguish the two because often continues to cling on to power what do you think what's happened to the u.k.'s relationship with libya if you did manage to stay as leader i think it will be very difficult very difficult for both

for the u.k. and for the rest of the world of course he'll be in a weak position but he said we will probably lashed out in some unpleasant pedro's way i mean it's like. you know for one thing about that of the bed or much into the top because if you have to do it then you're going to get a problem with them i'm afraid that's that's that's the situation we will end up with unless unless you go so it's very difficult to see what. what are we going to do about these sanctions whether they're going to be lifted or it's going to frozen forever in which case presumably that means the world does without libyan oil why why should we why should the world without billion oil we need the oil they need the money they i say the libyan people need the money of course i can see why i could have used not to be stopped but. in the long term freezing libya out is cruel. wrong. thank you.

a chance to score. on me whilst on the manager harry redknapp lauded his side's dream progress after they reached the champions league quarterfinals along with genocide shocker spurs held on for nell nell drawer at home to syria our leaders ac milan which was enough to see them go through one a libre get from peter crouch is first leg strike of you to see two years ago you'd be lost in the generally good of what used to that crazy i mean we've been a friend testicular team from the players. to have jokers this far in a competition so far and with enjoyed every minute of it and we deserved to be year we won a group we'd be eighty million over two games really concede a goal in june. two green shoots for me to find just human. fresh out they came from behind to beat back and we want to progress thought so you and i guess god acosta how could the spanish side ahead their two goals from jefferson start on either side of the merry go round of strike and sure the german side reach the last eight. well into your balance sheet got the old going and so we had nothing to

lose and try to put some of the pressure on them and it was certainly very important for us to jefferson scored the equaliser before half time and things turned dramatic in the second half we scored to make it to one and it became clear that an answer had to take again and once again were injured to many who made some very good saves in the end i think it was a deserved week for us and a nice game. to the n.b.a. now and sacramento slipped to their forty seventh loss of the season as they went down one hundred six to one hundred two to orlando it was a neck and neck affair in california to marcus cousins top scoring with a career high twenty nine points and seven rebounds for sacramento but to call you nailed a triple or land in five point lead with forty seconds left leads the head then had a chance to send the gate into overtime he missed his three points and so it into
