a century ago and was only meant to last twenty years. russia's the ministry of culture is under fire for awarding an innovation prize to a world slammed by the majority as an act of vandalism but some praise them for saying it's a sign of a censorship free society. toyboy next door nazi we ask one outspoken british journalist why he thinks the country got involved in libya and whether it should have done so in the first place. today i'm talking to kelvin mackenzie former editor of the sun newspaper columnist he's spoken out against the military intervention in libya saying that maybe it's not worth an ounce of personal blogs help mackenzie that's a very strong position to take i mean the government reckons that strikes prevented a massacre in benghazi so he that's worth a few british bombs and so it seems well first of all we don't know whether there

was going to be a massacre a big ghodsee though this was the whole of this was the government push this was cameron's personal speech. in the end of the day that this is libyans fighting libyans and who are we to say who should be running their country after all when i last looked i didn't notice any of the libyans interfere when the cavaliers and the railroads took place in a revolution or that as far as i could see there was nobody from tripoli very well in the french revolution this is a revolution quite normal the other side of guns we still see they seem to have rocket propelled grenades they seem to. pull fire ability these people sitting there with a spud gun leaning over a friend saying or did a fairly sophisticated if you take the other aspect is that the rebels themselves who i wish well although i feel very unsure about what our relationship with libya

is going to be at the end of this we have al qaeda wondering around. how do we know that at the end of the day they don't end up running the country we don't know anything about this there is a justification for us doing much more than for no fly zones there is a justification when they blew up a passenger airline over lockerbie killing our people on the ground and killing people for america it was a justification to do what i suspect russia might have done a lot of the same circumstances which you said right we're coming in we're taking you out we're bombing the hell out of the place and then there will be a change of regime and that would have been more justifiable than this but libyan rebels did offer to intervene they also may say to intervene do we not therefore have a duty to go in and help the maps no we don't want you to do we bowed to

a saw aides in a revolution who is trying to grab power to decide what the outcome of that war is going to be i say we have no duty while we are out there wondering around the desert there was a justification it was no there's no justification i prefer the russian position i prefer the chinese position i prefer the german position all of which is the same as we wish you well we're not firing any guns i we're not sending in any planes what now that is you with nation that we pull out and need libyans to walk essentially be a bloody civil war is a bloody civil war that's what happens in civil wars it isn't the point the reason that you have the word war involved in civil war is it's not called civil negotiation it is a fight and in the end to i expect the rebels may well win but they don't need to win risking our blood and our money but what if as these looking increasingly

likely get afy in fact when he does outgunned the rebels at the moment what if now that the international community has irreparably fallen out with him he actually stays in power in the first. i don't care about the international community and secondly they haven't but you know they don't like him but there's lots of people they don't like i mean what they're after why don't they go in while you were at libya just go down the road a bit to the congo where literally on the thousand people being wiped out why haven't we gone there why don't we go and protect the minority tribe in these zimbabwe while we're at it there's a lot of injustice in the world and maybe injustice even in this country who knows but the issue is that there is nothing that can be done the international community is a big factor and what happens to the politicians is that they look around them so as to look at this their ratings in the polls and they say you know what i'm not doing very well here the people who vote for me think i'm going to be a begin to try to do what i want to around north africa i wonder around the middle

east where do we go into saudi arabia where they've banned marches and the king as announce there will be severe repercussions for demonstrations and in the east they started firing everybody why don't we go into the main why don't we go in everywhere who was your answer to all these questions why don't we go and see them and why don't we i'm sorry because it's nothing to do with us we have neither the power of the thought nor the will nor as we learned from iraq where one hundred and eighty of. people died and probably forty billion forty or fifty billion quid went out of our coffers which we could possibly even for that plus i was up with. that has nothing to do with this things take time and yet we have still going into libya which by your logic zero think has nothing to do that is because we could have been open about gadhafi you know really is where we're a nation trying to relive the old days of the empire cameron keep on shouting out where of all the pink bits go you know strolling around the middle east you know

without a side enough without an exit plan we know how to go into these places we have no idea how to get out u.k. institutions played a big role in rehabilitating. the gadhafi regime not they want to go and say therefore they got a night's been in the global media now that the media has turned on him again how important is it for legitimizing an intervention like this and indeed regime change . the i think should divide the up into two points first of all the governments whoever they are in this been going on there for forty odd years we have been licking his backside now for four decades whether we supply arms to the more we brace them disgusting to use that word. but actually these people don't you know the same time politicians movie that way so what are the great kissing could off his backside and they're we're trying to kick it it's ridiculous so the

media do have a role and the role of the media. it is to expose that we are trading with dictators now so what does the government say they say we have to deal with the reality the political reality we have to we have to trade with these people and then some of the rights of us over to the word so trading with problems that. it is pathetic absolutely pathetic but at the same time it every so often the government changes prior and when the government changes where they view changes so there's no consistency to my mind actually the media have been pretty good they've been pretty good the problem we face now is we're now at war with people and we don't want so we actually have to support our troops we don't have to support ideas like cameron got nothing else to do decide whether we should be wandering around all spittle in the u.k. or should be wandering around the battlefields of of the middle east but we have to

act as well as troops so the media gets caught in a difficult position its troops or its readers and all the center of our world. the government they're idiots and the libyan regime are a disgusting so the media gets caught in a very difficult area and you were the mace notorious that itself of the u.k.'s most notorious happy boy very kind of you to put it on the right thing that it with tabloid culture is that the that made wars like this easier to sell and popularized with the british public. except the first bit. except that the sun did spectacularly undermine excellent editorship i think that they didn't actually make any difference to government policy i mean you know the issue about the media is is is it's like the sea it's always with us you've simply got to put up with it if you or a policymaker and it all right there will be

a lot there will be a lot of. aggravation about libya now i mean it started off in the right we thought we were going to blow it blow them all out the water we'd all be home for having having a cup of tea at the ritz pass for well there we are down there a month later and the whole thing is still going on so the nightmare is is is still to be faced in my view but i don't think it's fair to blame the media for it i mean i am personally massively hostile to the libyan impression mainly because i saw wire print in iraq these things take peculiar which you can't really work out intellectually nor guess. nevertheless. you know i'm very much in favor of our soldiers and so you get toward i put the media was stronger i think you're right about lampitt the media stronger because of what happened in iraq the trouble was that a million people marched against the iraq war blair blair was not telling his cabinet

other things will be revealed now because he was scared they were going to leak so basically they were deciding it is now you and i were having a nice chat it's another glass of soda and it said oh yes we're going to do what you think given the office he was is a bit of a go yes good idea at someone then they went in right so the million were ignored but people will say that the government's various governments know nothing from the iraq and afghanistan but do you think what in fact what will learn how to sell another minute chance events and know absolutely the issue is quite clear. we didn't want the iraq it was lumbered on us by a vain glorious prime minister. cameron is now wandering around in the desert of to brooke trying to work out how they get out he will look at media after the end of all this but the but the underlying issue is with libya. there have been no deaths on our side just what it is valid cop to crash and god forbid we

lose ten people all all by the way to use those heat seeking missiles which you can basically just walk in and according to today's papers. if that happened we side being blown out of the sky don't even think about it so the issue is we haven't dropped any blood yeah we've dropped tens of millions of pounds which we haven't got but not one single one of our people has as died when that happens the game and the p.r. game were trained politically what does someone like david cameron again from waging a war in africa a military a war came and saw what was in it for him for a country he's a pro for he is unfortunately a professional bleeding hearts and so he's one of those guys who rush around endlessly he's a true to the political animal by the way rush around endlessly saying something must be done the answer is something must be done this like when used bad to send

off a really stinking mees email on the night before to your boss right. don't send that a mile go to bed wake up in the morning and reread it and decide whether it was a good idea or not cameron hasn't got that ability basically i think he's gone mad days gone bad very early he's only been in power a year now balmy is he going to be as old as blair blair was such a fall but at the end of it all. my suspicion is that the pressure is just remember kelly mccann is in thank you very much. culture is that so much of the good news going to be made into a lot of the places where you look at twenty five years ago world was coming to grips with the catastrophe unfolding in chernobyl today the same could be said about the sheema what is the future. down the official ante up location kewaunee phone the i pod touch from the shops to. enjoy life on the go.

golf's new world number one taking top spot after he won the indonesian masters and fellow englishman luke donald failed to win in south carolina a good east or west word was also celebrating his birthday can start of the day five shots clear of the field and showed his intent not to let up from the start landing this one close to the pain of birdie on the very first oh he did what will slightly but by the time he reached the eighteenth he had a can't believe his final round of sixty nine leaving him or nineteen overall enough for a three shot victory over tried j.d. of thailand and more importantly this winning part was also enough to germany's martin from the world number one top spot he decided to take that week off. oh is it really something you really think about. concentrate on the individual brings the ball back together to try to turn
