4:30 am
if. he. called about the main stories we're covering for you south western ukraine speech today issues display of nationalism we're not says attacks veterans voiced russia's slogans in the group's commemorative syncrude movements in physical and they. said she talks between the u.s. and china have been paying lip service to competition and corporation representatives from both militaries held discussions there has been willing to use its massive spending on defense. and there too is accused of negligence
4:31 am
reportedly ignoring distress calls from the boat with refugees sixty people on board are thought to have died of thirst and hunger spend two weeks in fifteen minutes. when next ulti talks to a british activist about looters involvement in that and the use of unconventional weapons. i'm talking to kate hudson from the campaign for nuclear disarmament c.n.d. said from the author 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 well unfortunately what we were fearing now to be taking place that it hasn't been some kind of quick humanitarian swoop that would be over very rapidly and peace and justice would be miraculously introduced unfortunately
4:32 am
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 elements of course is repeated unfortunately now repeated incidents of the intervention is actually killing the side. 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 surely you 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 appropriate thing to do it's
4:33 am
a complex situation it's clear that rather than what was initially suggested were mad fixated going around killing his people or mass it is now clear that there are two political and military sides and 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 equipped. 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 it's led some people to suspect that david cameron didn't really
4:34 am
understand what depleted uranium or else 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 to police it uranium is a byproduct of the uranium enrichment process for civil nuclear power it results in a very very heavy metal very dense 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 them to pleated uranium munitions to the weaponry which britain is currently deploying is not suitable for british. missions they are land based in our case 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
4:35 am
a cannon and they thought can fire thousands of rounds of depleted uranium munitions the top brass the u.s. top brass this announce the. gunships are being used then did he say do you munitions were being used on yet so to speak but we have no confidence in that statement because in the past in the past conflicts where d'you is the need. 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 the met it only became evident afterwards they had indeed the news that we do not have confidence in the current assurance. deployed in that are using. and we know the terrible consequences for the health for the environment as a result of depleted uranium usage it's a radioactive. canary form there is great instance sharp increases of
4:36 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 air strikes are designed to protect civilians but even that tension of peace is uranium gives the light actually well absolutely because the cleated uranium is a weapon of indiscriminate effect because of the impact what happens is that when the cheryl or the round hits its target and explodes and it has what's been described as an 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
4:37 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 the continued use but it's absolutely unacceptable if you're talking where it's an exceptionally any particular feel talking about being there to protect the civilians to use a form of weaponry which. impact on them in so devastating a way it's absolutely shocking piece started off in libya as a people's revolution how do you think that the involvement of native corrupts the idea of this revolutionary fervor among people but i think it's the legitimacy is the idea of popular sovereignty that's been very much the case in all these uprisings recently it's been very much about ordinary people coming to the fore finding their political voice and saying that they want things to be run
4:38 am
differently and they want the people to determine through the power of whatever democratic form they choose and of course if you have foreign powers intervening on one side or the other in that conflict i think it does really withdraw the popular sovereignty element that's equally 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 since the second world war 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
4:39 am
towards democracy away from all thorough terror in 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 are being absolutely they've gone far far beyond the terms of the u.n. security council resolution one see them juggling with words trying to make what doing. feets with 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 we've now seen the rebels saying that they're disappointed in the amount of help that nato has offered what do you make of that well i said i imagine that they probably don't have experience of dealing with nato or dealing with
4:40 am
foreign governments and their their intentions and intervention and so on i'm sure that they were hoping that military intervention would mean that they would very rapidly meet their military goals which of course has 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 the 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 get at these regime as little as four months before they
4:41 am
struggle starr says the report says that that was a misjudgment of the risk that these 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 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 into. benchmark against which they measure their sales i'm sure they can't because if they did they wouldn't sell arms to a very large number of countries that they currently do and i'm sure the commercial interests have always come first in those kinds of deals and i very much hope the 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 to think that public outcry against
4:42 am
this intervention is growing stronger yes obviously most people. there are really protesting about the government cuts but it's not wasted on people not lost on people moved back so much money is being spent on one of the points we were making was that if there's not money for education for higher education for the libraries for nurseries all these types of things that people are being made on employed saying there's no money why is money always found for war why is it found for nuclear weapons in iraq and afghanistan but also now libya in this be justified and i think the opinion polls very strongly show that the majority of people agree with us on that there's a. fairly small minority now supporting the government it's really in its intervention in libya. the majority are not in support of that and
4:43 am
i that doesn't surprise me at all because i think particularly since what's what happened in iraq and the government should manikins over that dishonesty about our war aims i think people are now much more critical and much more one thing to make their own assessments 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 judgement on balance the british people in their majority arrived as a judgment for peace kate hudson thank you very much thank you. emissions free cretaceous three pounds for charges free maintenance free risk free. free.
