news today violence is once again flared up. and these are the images the world has been seeing from the streets of canada. trying to operation. pretty thing for me kevin always here with our team tonight let me bring you up to date with our top story fierce clashes between pro-government and opposition forces in libya are intensifying after a fifth night coalition air strikes the debate over who should lead the allied intervention after the u.s. decreases its involvement fails to bring results. prescribed down on and she will stare at the demonstrators in brussels with tear gas and water cannon the protesters say western countries should not be imposing parts of all spending

millions on libya campaign. on the first images of the workers struggling to stabilize the situation of japan's fukushima power plant reports say three more of the so-called nuclear kamikazes have been exposed to dangerous levels of radiation . we continue our coverage of the latest developments in libya now as we sit down with one of russia's most renowned experts an arab and islamic history professor vitaly known can says the root cause of the crisis lies in the fact that colonel gadhafi lost his sense of reality in dealing with major powers that interview is coming right. market out the it was never a darling of the greatest growth just two months ago the world was predict profitable doing business with him now tripoli is under aerial bombardment they will again be there is hiding in one of his bunkers and nobody really knows what's

going to happen next to discuss that we are now joined by one of precious leading political analysts the director of the instance that is messages of the russian academy of sciences. thank you very much for your time sir now so much has happened in such short period of time and people are still struggling child to stand what is really happening in libya what's your take on the situation there as you said the situation is colder than predictable from my point of view it was a continuation of the very dramatic. changes that happened in the north of africa and all around the arab world actually but it's very important. to take into account that the two neighboring states neighboring states to libya egypt and tunisia they were just the main arena of all these dramatic changes but what happened in my view first was a continuation of the events in tunisia and egypt but certainly it firstly

secondly it was totally different because i think in egypt and was in egypt and tunisia we had the sort of popular we will loosen so facebook youth was. the this very new type of revolution one of the mcgreevy sions that was behind this popular move and was some group called one region nothing actual what happened in tripoli everything's happened or started from big guys and so were they were some also some different motivations and reasons. so root causes of this popular. movement that we still have to analyze now speaking about what is behind all who was behind these uprising you know that russian political scientists for some reason really like conspiracy theories and there are

a lot of people who are saying that there is an american town behind it some are saying that or that an al qaida hand behind this as far as i understand you think that these movement was more or less giani and at least at the very beginning i'm sure that it was a genuine movement because i don't believe in this to conspiracy theories so one of those is that the west was just pulling all strings i don't think i think that it was even a disaster for the west you know first of all fools in general in the middle east can lose such a. furnace and such a leader as mubarak was who was loyal to the west and even at that he starting from two thousand and three he became very loyal he started changing his country the economic situation to depart from this the role of government and the economy he gave up this nuclear program so everything was satisfied in the west su actually

in the relations between the main european powers especially between believe me and britain live in france libyan people it was a total reorientation of the regime so why should the worst. that it can be risking it and nobody knows. who ever has control and the second conspiracy theory of the sly mr you know who the tao is slime it's conspiracy there is nothing like that because that he himself by the way he started to reconcile with the slime east movement he released a lot of islamic fighters from jails in september on august and september of two thousand them he started negotiation process with. the former islamic fighters and radicals now the main puzzle for me is that why is that you will see regime was such a lot of money it was a lot of money from from oil and everything and gas and whatever so i couldn't

control the country couldn't control the huge region of the eastern part of libya and could not afford in order to eliminate this huge proportion of unemployment by thirty percent so while it was the highest unemployment in the arab world now and another point that i could make in addition to what you described forty two years ago when i was having that bloodless coup of east ironically i started out in ghazi and he was calling for the ration for better living conditions what is going to happen to him because he started out as this young revolutionary and people who are trying to fifteen now are pretty much coming up with the same chances that the same culture that he used forty years ago i can as and stand as a normally the power corrupts people corrupts people who who says the so was more than forty years probably he he has lost his link with the reality and he was jumping from in

a very surprising manner from one extreme to another extreme from supporting the rest type of various groups and radicals to embracing the western states from the west to russia and then back to the arab street also that's what what was most surprising to me the fact that the western states in all they have bought all that we know of the scandal with the london school of economics where we rose. and me as well the director was expecting me when i speak of gossip and we know the same scandals about paul's tranced. we noticed today i feel worse. yes that's something very respectable you tell them firms my impression is that a lot of european leaders one of the most active in trying to oust gadhafi think about themselves in the future elections because they spoil the reputation

with the original story console with regard for you and if you were so bad i'm so unpredictable and so. you know why should the world why you will accept it. you know or just as from the inside let me just pick up on this point i also find very interesting interest national there are some companies for a given a very lucrative deals in. all deals graphic was also have only investing in it here or here was also a shipping exporting oil to the united states so why do you think the move was to drive to get rid of him is so strong because i mean. we have seen some reservations about the reaction to arab uprisings in other countries but no where before you have seen a military an apartment i think there were both the prognathic and ideological considerations so the probiotic ones are clear so it was an acceptable to

lead such a unpredictable leader not friendly to the west and there was a sort of hope of also being the work he has done to the rest of the state that there were preventing a more friendly in libya along with on this short a longer that we need egypt and libya so it will be very i think profitable very interesting the west nile to get through the destruction a leader who almost had no friends in the arab world going to work in the slummy group and he had some friends in africa but he was spending a lot of money to support the movement in the arab world. surprising to me that almost nobody is ordering the regime is supporting and even though they're critical now what the coalition is doing they're not supporting. the coalition actions and i don't want to call in my view means that you know he was presenting some of

turner of how the global paradigm. systems but the main liberal western type of society and regimes that was some alternative and this alternative was going to mental to the interests of the promotion of this liberal cry for not receiving their group what could that he was doing was quite different and he was in my view was regarded as a danger to the promotion of this type of. paradigm of economic you know social idea was it our paradigm and i think it played its role now are assuming that the sit and take it off it cullison succeeds and family are indeed pushed out of power and it is clear who could comment his grace because at this point even these times during the council in ghazi it's really

a dark horse of the stage because when archie was there and because the repriced allow it and neither are other journalists allowed to film them the only few names that we do know are people who made a career for themselves serving to get off a regime for and they have to assume at least partial responsibility for the crimes that they are now trying to put on gadhafi in all these dictatorial regimes there is no any sort of organized opposition so almost everybody is like a sort of this event or someone who defected from the ranks of the supporters of the leader will had some problem with him back in for instance got rid of him for some reason on another so it's typical for. this type of bury the tauriel seems very suppressive not the whole array thing any sort of organized the position with the exception of some some groups and they asked for the exception though because like mr groups with the exception of this form the royal constitutional unions that

was loyal to the old. center so i. was this union of force of the it was be based. in britain but there is there was no or substantial were organized or. a position within the country thank you very much for your. in canada and the us that it is legal for you to give a bubble bath on your baby that contains a known carcinogen something that causes cancer most of this trying to promote put into print they are sponsored by things that in most of the guys they don't claim it's a conflict of interest today an average cancer drug prescription costs nearly one
