ten thirty am in moscow these are the headlines washington may have finally killed the man who is the main reason behind the decade long war in afghanistan but it's doing little to silence critics who say the operation is stuck fast in a bride mire. fresh nato air strikes hit the libyan capital overnight but first a little sign of progress brighter side of the conflict is prompting more talk about coalition ground troops going in but experts say that move could spike the death toll enormously. moscow looking for guarantees new u.s.

plans for parts of a missile shield in the romania don't pose a threat to its own deterrent says russia and nato are in the midst of talks over common missile defense in europe. up next our interview we discuss the possibility of all out war in libya with a british member of parliament one of the few who voted against taking action stay with us. today i'm talking to john barr an m.p. who is one of only thirteen members of parliament they say it's against the military intervention in libya compared to five hundred fifty seven who voted for america thanks for talking to r.t. now why various against a number of concerns a lot of questions that remain unanswered warm we were as you seem to be meddling in the affairs of another person important to rich muslim countries not a record of information has not been good in recent years secondly where are why

couldn't the arabs themselves have put in the no fly zone. particularly given the concealing the capability for decades thirdly why does with the sort of policy lead why aren't we doing something similar in say the yemen or bahrain or finally what is the exit strategy we simply don't know if you feel that you achieved something by voting against the intervention was it a pointless move it away oh no it's not a pointless you know as you see fit that's why i'm here at the end of the day we're here to listen when we are here to listen to the views of government and others but you have to vote as you see fit and now you are a member of a party that is looking currently bellicose didn't gungho as blair's did at the height of its power essentially how do you feel about that now well they would argue the. conservative party that. they acted within the un mandate a un resolution which is a little different from what for example previous government did when they went into iraq. so there is a legitimate but that doesn't necessarily make it right decision and i felt it was

not the right decision as we've previously discussed what do you make of the un security council resolution is it floored well i think we must always remember with these resolutions that not everybody is happy to sign up to them for example brazil russia india china germany are all extensions this resolution to not have you know . backing and if it wasn't for the british and french in particular i don't think it would have been warm as strongly worded as it was but this resolution has then become pentasa shaped beyond all recognition really hasn't it i think there are real questions being raised i mean the reason for going in was concerned about the civilians of benghazi it was the humanitarian to continue like and that was a valid concern whether it was a valid justification for intervention is not the reason but what seems becoming apparent is that we now have the no fly zone in effect becoming the air force of the rebel fighters and theoretically this air force can provide cover all the way

to tripoli and i question whether that was within the spirit of the resolution as it was originally filed and how do you feel about what hague and you pay have done to this resolution well you know at the end of the day i think it was for me anyway a reason to your view that this was more than just about humanitarian aid i think there was no limit to regime change about this and so it has not come as a surprise to me what we have seen happen since the resolution was passed so he's coming out of this worst you think the government in this country or the u.n. security council as a whole i think you'd have to analyze probably you know i think it was there all party to an all defined thought through mission which has no clear exit strategy. and meanwhile civilian casualties mount. you know there is a contradiction to what's policy one we all value human rights but at the end of

the day if we are being consistent we should be doing is talking about a no fly zone for yemen for bahrain you could evolve into the ivory coast. there is an inconsistency in this policy and i certainly think for example that the arabs themselves let's take egypt for example perfectly placed the call. for a no fly zone it was in a very good position to put one in and perhaps they should answer. we have seen this week that a piece mack put forward by the african union was rejected by the rebels because it didn't include making death in his family how much support do you think there is for ousting good athlete outside benghazi washington and london i think it's very mixed i think you can see that by the fact that there are very few ground attack craft fighters being committed by the of the u.n. nation allies and i think that's very telling. i think and there's no shortage of

countries willing to put in fighter aircraft which would be all that would need to instigate a no fly zone we're going it comes to ground attack aircraft i think very few nations have put that forward and i think that tells its own story as you said earlier this is another military intervention in another muslim country with natural resources have we learned nothing from our past mistakes well you know as you know i voted against the iraq war i voted against afghanistan when we had the opportunity to vote and i think we have got to be very careful before you commit troops to go after. you've got to make sure you've got them on the high ground you've got to make sure that it is the measure of last resort where of all other avenues of negotiations have been exhausted and i'm not sure we met those criteria when it came to libya as well so i think the lesson still need to be learned and wonder i'm afraid we're repeating process now if you see any progress in terms of learning lessons from the past well i see some progress you will have seen the

prime minister has talked to the kuwaiti parliament and this year you would have seen the foreign secretary has agreed to review on its britain's arms sales policy after every questioning in the foreign affairs select committee these are small positives and i do believe to a certain extent british foreign policy may be at a crossroads in which it's either got to become more ethical or. i let's talk about that's i mean you say that the prime minister made this week's speech the question parliament is very great but that was a part of the trip which was essentially to hawk arms around the middle east render the trouble had already started with a serious error in judgment i mean is that is he the right man to lead the country when it comes to the issue of the arms so i think it does the good rather illustrate that you know there is a bit of a contradiction of british foreign policy at the moment and i think that is being recognised by the government which is why we've had this announcement recently that there is going to be review of arms sales selling arms to

a country for purposes of national it's i think a legitimate selling control weapons or crowd control weapons i should say to also kratz and at the same time preach democracy to many will smack of a caucus or so you can only preach about tomatoes in my view from the normal hard work you're not just a member of parliament you're also a former soldier what are people saying off the record in westminster do you think the troops will be deployed on the ground was that in fact the plan all along no i did i don't think it was the plan all along to i think most people would say no that would be a step too far we had assurances right from the beginning of the new ground troops committed and as far as we're concerned many of us would hold the government to account if it changed its mind but we also had assurances that they wouldn't directly target athletes integrate them in that wasn't part of the un security council resolution well it was all the way because this is where the if you like

the vagueness of the resolution kicks in because it does talk about enforcing a no fly zone and protecting civilians and using all necessary measures to implement policy you could theoretically view that in a certain measures includes attacking the promoters and control center in tripoli it's debatable but i still am of the view that this was about regime change as as much. humanitarian aid but if you could argue that why couldn't you argue that sending ground troops is part of all that is very much as i mean it seems such a powerful and and all encompassing fray because i think the majority of people in this place who voted for intervention and i have respect for you did so warmly assumption that this was about humanitarian aid and nothing more and that it had the legitimacy of the u.n. resolution between ground troops and i think that would clearly go beyond that resolution. as i say you force in northern ireland what difficulties do you think that troops would face going into the middle of

a civil war i don't think we have to discuss that scenario that hypothetical scenario because i really don't see it happening i think there would be up in this country if we committed ground troops the u.k. was instrumental in a good athletes rehabilitation do you think that cameron hague zeal for war in libya and attempts to make up for the fact that the u.k. was complicit with a dictator well this is a question you have to answer then i can only view the situation as i see it and vote accordingly i mean for all the reasons we've discussed i think this was the wrong intervention and i suggest you put that question to the prime minister and the foreign secretary and finally it is this is a war for oil i don't know i think it's more a little bit about i think humanitarian aid is definitely one reason but i think it's also about regime change you know could have and was becoming unpredictable and you have the same scenario in other countries in the middle east but it's the game in bahrain could argue syria why aren't we talking about you know intervention

or a no fly zones there i think it's largely because you know there was to a certain extent becoming unpredictable that was not necessarily an ally of the west despite. approaches and claims to the contrary in the period leading up to the intervention and was no not going to separate in the west maybe well maybe i mean we i don't think we'll ever know the the answer to that question. i mean i'm sure they've been looking at your actions of various levels about this matter but all we can do is parliamentarians take a step back of knowledge that there's probably a lot of negotiation is we're not aware of but judge the situation on the facts that we have in front of us and all moves facts whether it's the fact we don't have an exit strategy whether we're not sure where this policy would lead whether it's the fact that you know once again we're intervening or why couldn't the arabs have done this and they have the capability to do so those are all factors that help me to come to the decision that this was the wrong direction canberra thank you very much.
