these are the images the world seeing from the streets of canada. giant corporations rule today. that it's have a look at the headlines our. western ukraine marks victory day with a vicious display of nationalism you know it says at times of veterans or the pro fascist slogans ripped to commemorate infants and george ribbons from people's clinton. said she talks between the u.s. and china are people paying lip service to competition from corporations representatives from both winchell's held discussions with america appears on willing to reduce its rights of spending the prince preparation for the worst case

scenario. nato was accused of negligence for importantly ignoring distress calls for boats are in the refugees sixty people on board a fault died of thirst and hunger spent two weeks fifty three. when next to a british activist whose involvement in it and the use of unconventional weapons. i'm talking to kate hudson from the campaign for nuclear disarmament as the n.d.p. said from the off that the military intervention in libya was a mistake and that it could in fact result in a major civil war in libya kate thanks for talking to us now do you see your predictions coming true and well unfortunately what we were fearing does seem now to be taking place that it hasn't been some come quick humanitarian swoop that would be over very rapidly and peace and justice would be miraculously introduced
12:32 am
unfortunately that hasn't happened and we see now from the initial number of countries involved now we have nato involvement we seem to be more entrenched doesn't seem to be any visible end in sight it's now widely recognised this is easy indeed a civil war and that of course intervention in a civil war is illegal but i think one of the most tragic arguments of course is the repeated unfortunately now repeated incidents of the interventionist forces actually killing the side that the stance of they are there to support which just really underlines the complexity of the situation the difficulty of the situation and the absolute inappropriateness of military intervention what would you like to see happen now they surely wouldn't want to see nato pulling out and leaving the libyans essentially to a bloody civil war well unfortunately i think that that would indeed be the most
12:33 am
appropriate thing to do it's a complex situation it's clear that rather than what was initially suggested which was one mad to say to go around killing his people or mass it is now clear that there are two political and military sides and that in a complex situation like that it may be very difficult to move towards a negotiated settlement a political settlement but that is what has to be done military means are not a quick. fix and there is no substitute for that detail kind of negotiation facilitated by the international community yes but that has to say place it's going to be hard. place what do we know about the weaponry being used in libya i'm thinking specifically of depleted uranium we've heard prime minister david cameron saying that it's definitely not being used and yet the ministry of defense still says that it's a necessary part of the arsenal yes that's quite an interesting contradiction that has emerged there it's led some people to suspect that they were cameron didn't
12:34 am
really understand what depleted uranium or so and that perhaps he was actually talking about cluster munitions but there are very serious concerns that depleted uranium munitions are now being used in libya at least if uranium is a byproduct of the uranium enrichment process miscible nuclear power it results in a very very heavy metal very heavy metal and it's typically used in armor piercing shells that's why it is popular with armies and both the u.s. and the u.k. do still have a policy of using the depleted uranium munitions the weaponry which britain is currently deploying is not suitable for british. because they are land based munitions in our place but certainly the united states typically uses depleted uranium munitions on a ten airplanes those are the kind of gunships which are essentially a plane constructed around
12:35 am
a cannon and they thought in far thousands of rounds of depleted uranium munitions the top brass u.s. top brass this announce that those gunships are being used and then did so secretly say d'you munitions were being used on them yet so to speak but we have no confidence in that statement because in the past in the past conflicts where d. us been. notably in the first gulf war in bosnia. in one nine hundred ninety nine and subsequently very extensively in iraq on all those occasions they denied the usage of them then it only became evident afterwards they had a new so we do not have confidence in the current assurance that the eight heads deployed in libya are using depleted uranium and we know the terrible consequences for the health of the environment as a result of depleted uranium usage it's a radioactive weaponry form the raised great instance sharp increases of
12:36 am
birth defects of cancers particularly brain cancers lymphomas and so on in in iraq and those are the places and as a result we've heard time and time again that these are strikes designed to protect civilians but even the potential use of pieces uranian gives the light actually well absolutely because depleted uranium is a weapon of indiscriminate effect because of the impact what happens is that when the share of the round hits its target is explodes and it has what's been described as a kind of aerosol effect of radioactive particles and you can't ever ensure that those particles will only affect military personnel that means that they can indiscriminately affect civilians and that of course is illegal under international law also have a very long term effect because of the radioactive qualities has
12:37 am
a negative impact also on the environment so these are illegal under international law some countries haven't yet recognized that it is indeed you you've seen on the web sites the british government justifies their continued use but it's absolutely unacceptable if you're talking well it's an exceptionally any particular if you're talking about being there to protect the civilians to use a form of weaponry which. impacts on them in so devastating a way it's absolutely shocking this started off in libya as a people's revolution and how do you think that the involvement of nato in naps corrupts the idea of this revolutionary fervor amongst the people well i think it's the legitimacy is the idea of popular sovereignty that that's been very much the case in all these rising information is very much about ordinary people coming to the pool finding their political voice and saying that they want things to be
12:38 am
run differently and they want the people to go through the ballot box and every democratic they choose and of course if you have foreign powers intervening on one side or the other and back on the flanks i think you really draw. the sufferance the element particularly when you consider the key countries involved in the intervention that's to say initially of course britain and france both have a long history and tradition of colonial intervention in that region and of course the united states and second world war also has a history of military and political intervention in north africa and the middle east so it's a bit like a throwback almost a throwback to previous methods from those countries ways of establishing or reestablishing their involvement and control and that is not a good start for water essentially liberating movements in those countries headed
12:39 am
towards democracy away from a thorough tearing government and what do you make of these shifting intentions by the coalition on libya do you think that the u.n. security council resolution has been an. absolutely they've gone far far beyond the terms of the un security council resolution one see them juggling with words trying to make what they are doing. fit the terms of the resolution but of course it's transparently not possible to do that and of course as in the case of intervention in the civil war that is illegal under international law and the un resolution to that effect wouldn't make it legal but in fact that that resolution doesn't cater for intervention in a civil war and we've now seen the rebels saying that they're disappointed in the amount of help that nato has offered them what do you make of that well i said i imagine that they probably don't have experience of dealing with nato or dealing
12:40 am
with foreign governments and their their intentions and intervention and so on i'm sure that they were hoping military intervention would mean that they would very rapidly meet their military goals which of course is to come to power in their country and establish democracy in whatever their goals are i'm sure they must've felt that it was a much simpler matter and will be very disappointed to know that not only have their own side been killed by the interventionist forces but that this is a long increasingly protracted struggle with no easy end in sight and i feel for them in their disappointment but. i'm sorry to say that there is no short quick way of solving this without those very details political negotiations that will have to take place ultimately thanks to a recent government report we now know that the u.k. was selling weapons to death his regime as little as four months before they
12:41 am
struggle started the report says that that was a misjudgment of the risk that those weapons would be used on civilians do you accept that as a misjudgment well i think that's rather hard to say i don't quite know what's what their intentions were in doing that i don't know if when they sell arms to regimes they have a kind of human rights political democracy in. freedom benchmark against which they measure their sales i'm sure they can't have that because if they did they wouldn't sell arms to a very large number of countries that they currently do and i'm sure that commercial interests have always come first in those kinds of deals and i i very much hope there will be a real reassessment of that now recently you and four hundred thousand others marched in london against the government how much support did you perceive for your hands of the middle east position at that march do you think that public outcry
12:42 am
against this intervention is growing stronger yes obviously most people were there or everyone was there really protesting about the government cuts but it's not wasted on people not most of it will look back so much money is being spent on one of the points we were making was it was not money for education for higher education for the libraries from the street usually starts a big speaker being made an employee saying there's no money why is money always ignored why sit around for nuclear weapons in iraq and afghanistan but also now libya are. justified and i think it's very strongly show that the majority of people agree with us on this is a fairly small minority and supported the gulf and it's been it's really in its intervention in libya and the majority are not in support of that and i that
12:43 am
doesn't surprise me at all because i think particularly since what's what happened in iraq and some government should manikins over that and so dishonestly about our war aims i think people are much more critical and much more wanting to make their own assessment of these things and of course with the development of the internet a lot of information is there for people to arrive at their own judgment on balance the british people in their majority arrives to judgment for peace casm thank you very much thank you. to get. into.
