uncleanness sandstone. and culture clash an infamous russian greek police controversy after winning a state award for one of their works they say what they did was artistic protests the critics argue it's nothing more than obscenity and vandalism. well the back of another summary of. the main news stories in about fifteen minutes from now in the meantime we also one outspoken british journalist why he thinks the country got involved in libya and whether it should have done so in the first place that's our exclusive interview next on lottie. today i'm talking to kelvin mackenzie format itself we saw newspaper columnist he's spoken out against the military intervention in libya saying that maybe it's not worth an ounce of british blood count mackenzie that's a very strong position to take i mean the government reckons that as strikes

prevented a massacre in benghazi easily that's worth a few persons bold and insulting well first of all we don't know whether there was going to be a massacre a big godsey this was the p.r. this was the government push this was cameron's personal spear. of the day that this is libyans fighting libyans and who we are sorry who should be running their country i thought when i lost that i didn't notice any of the libyans interfere when the cavaliers and the roundheads took place in a revolution or that as far as i could see there was nobody from tripoli one of her in the french revolution this is a revolution quite normal the other side of got garlands mysteriously they seem to have rocket propelled grenades they sing to her and profile ability these people sitting there with the spad the gun leaning over a friend saying your 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 the lips we have al qaeda. how do we know that at the end of the 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. 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 been under the same circumstances which you said right we're coming in we're taking you out would probably lead hell out of the place and then there would be a change of regime and that would be more justifiable than this but libyan rebels did offer to intervene they also may say to intervene to me not that will have

a duty to go in and help the maps you know we don't. want you to do we go to a side in a revolution who is trying to grab you decide what the outcome of that war is going to be and i say we have no duty while we are out there wandering around the desert there was a justification it was not debate 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 and we're not firing any guns and we're not sending in any planes but now that means you're finishing that we put out a need for libyans to walk essentially be a bloody civil war is a bloody civil war that's what happens in civil wars there isn't the point the reason that you have the word war involved in civil war is it's when the course of war negotiation it is a fight and in the end i expect the rebels they were when they don't need to win.

blubber now money but what if as he's looking increasingly likely gets afy in fact when c. 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 and well first of. 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 why they're after you why don't they go in while you're at libya just go down the road a bit and go we're literally under a thousand people being wiped out why haven't we gone there why don't we go and protect the minority troy in the zimbabwe there's a lot of injustice in the world there may be 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 fact rials wary of what happens to the politicians is that they look around at themselves 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 big of a charge you know. what i want to run north africa wander around the middle east why do we go into saudi arabia where they've banned march is the king as announce they would be severe repercussions for demonstrations and in the east they started firing at everybody what are we going to d.m. in why don't we go in everywhere what's your answer to all these questions why don't we go and see them and why don't we end theory because it's nothing to do with us we have neither the power the fire power nor the will nor as we learned from iraq where one hundred and eighty of the. people died and probably forty billion forty or fifty billion quid went out of our coffers which we could possibly plus i was up with that right it. has nothing to do with this things take time and yet we have still going into libya which by your logic all think has nothing to do that is because we could have been open about gadhafi you know really is where we're in nation trying to relive the old days of the empire with cameron keep on

shelter where of all the pink bits gone yellow strolling around the middle east you know without a sight and without an exit plan we know how to go into these places we have no idea how to get out you pay institutions played a big role in rehabilitating. the gadhafi regime not so long ago say that for they got a nice spin 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 will be i think we should divide the up into two points first of all the governments whoever they are going on now for forty odd years we have been licking gadhafi his backside now for four decades whether we supply arms or we embrace them like they're disgusting things that were blair but actually these people that you know

the same from politicians move either way so one of we're kissing could off his backside and now we're trying to kick it it's ridiculous so the media do have a role in the robbery of the mv. 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 somebody wakes up at seven thirty words though trading with problems that are eight is pathetic absolutely pathetic but at the same time it every so often the government changes plan r m when the government changes for how they view changes panel 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 or i 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 can't decide whether we should be wandering around all spittle in the u.k. or should we wander around the battlefields of. of the middle east but we have to have to support our troops so the media gets caught in a difficult position its troops or its readers and all the center of our world. but government they're idiots and the libyan regime and their scarfs thing so the media gets caught in a very difficult area and you were the main notorious that it's out of the u.k. from a tourist happen oh it's very kind of you to put it on do you make threats that it with tabloid culture is that the that made wars like this easier to sell and popularize with the british public. except the first. 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 it is it's like the sea it's always with us you simply got to put up with it if you or a policymaker and it all right there will be oh there will be a lot of. i gratian about libya now i mean it started off all right we thought we were going to blow blow them all out of the water we'd all be home for having having a cup of tea at the ritz but. 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'm personally massively hostile to the libyan infraction mainly because i saw why up and in iraq these things take peculiar. really work out intellectually nor guess. nevertheless. you know i'm very much in favor of our soldiers and so you get toward it but the media is stronger i think you're right

about that they're the media's stronger because of what happened in iraq i mean that the trouble was that a million people marched against the iraq war blair blair was not telling his cabinet and the things will be revealed now because he was scared they were going to leak so basically they were deciding it as though you and i were having a nice chat another glass of so we said oh yes we're going to get what you think given the office he was is a bit of a go yes good idea it's almost and then they went to write so the million were ignored that people say that's the government's various governments not nothing from iraq and afghanistan but do you think what in fact what you learned was how to tell another military intervention no absolutely the issue is quite clear. we didn't want iraq it was numbered on us by a vain glorious prime minister. cameron is now wandering around in the desert of to brook trying to work out to get out he will look at the idea of the end of all this but the the deep underlying issue is with libya. there have been no deaths on our

side just why if i only caught a crash and god forbid we lose ten people all all by the way they use those heat seeking missiles which you can basically just walk in and take according to today's papers. if that happened we saw i've been 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 the people is as died where that happens the game and the p.r. game or train politically what does someone like david cameron gain from waging a war in africa a military overcome and so or what was in it for him or for our country he's a pro for he is unfortunately a professional bleeding heart and so he's one of those guys who rush around endlessly he's a total political animal by the way rush around endlessly saying something must be

done the answer is something mustn't be done this lightly needs brown to send off a really stinking is. on the night before to your boss right. don't send that a mile go to bed wake up in the morning decided it was a good idea or not cameron hasn't got that ability basically i think he's gone mad bay's gone mad very early he's only been in power a year now call me is he gonna be as long as blair blair was such a follower of the end of it. my suspicion is that the pressure is just. kelvin mackenzie in fact he very much. twenty five years of fallout. from the most devastating nuclear disaster in history. a quarter of
