bryson if you knew the song from plans to turn these. stones on teeth don't come. it's all falling down here in moscow this is all see signs about the far right western ukraine as victory day celebration is on all of them made fun of not just in this something for a function slogans they are time veterans invented the paying tribute to those who died secure the country's freedom in the second world war. may take volumes hit the libyan capital was a strong several government buildings a lot of the heavy assess streisand wings because the middle position claims about
10:31 am
the down feel uprising building in tripoli itself the song the government did not exist. and several minutes since the killed in a fresh on the terror offer asians in russia as well as performances donovan's in the acclaimed lost his murder of a muslim religious leader the morning the republicans are a suicide bomber has blown himself all off the big stall on check out. next he talks to british and nuclear activists about nato is involvement in libya and it's but if you do some conventional weapons. i'm talking to kate hudson from the campaign for nuclear disarmament as c.n.d. 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 well unfortunately what we were fearing now to be taking
10:32 am
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 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 this doesn't seem to be any visible end in sight it's now widely recognized this is easy indeed a civil war that of course intervention in the civil war is illegal but i think one of the most tragic elements of course is the repeated unfortunately now repeated insistence of the interventionist forces actually killing the side steps 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 that surely you wouldn't want to
10:33 am
see naysay 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 a complex situation it's clear that rather than what was initially suggested which was one mad dictator going 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 that 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 but it will have to face what do we know about the weaponry being used in there 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
10:34 am
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 really understand what depleted uranium ore was 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 miscible 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 simply to be rainy and to be additions to the weaponry which britain is currently deploying is not suitable for british. missions there are land based me ations in our case but certainly the united states typically uses to
10:35 am
create a uranium munitions on a ten airplanes those are the kind of gunships which are essentially a plane constructed around a cannon and they thought can fire thousands of rounds of depleted uranium munitions the top brass u.s. top brass that announce that. gunships are being used then did so secretly 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 has been. used 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 and it only became evident afterwards they had indeed been years so we do not have confidence in the current assurance that the a tends to ploy in that they are using depleted uranium and we know the terrible consequences for the health for
10:36 am
the environment as a result of depleted uranium usage it's a radioactive weaponry form there is great instance sharp increases of birth defects of cancers particularly brain cancers lymphomas and so on in in iraq and those are the places as a result we've heard time and time again that these airstrikes are designed to protect civilians but even the potential use of pieces uranian gives the license 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 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
10:37 am
law also have a very long term effect because of the radioactive qualities has a negative impact also on the environment so these are illegal under international law some countries have not yet recognized that it is indeed you you've seen on the websites the british government justifies the continued use but it's absolutely unacceptable if you're talking but 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 they say started off in libya as the people's revolution how do you think that the involvement of nato in that corrupts the idea of this revolutionary fervor amongst the people but i think it's really just the most is the idea of popular sovereignty that's been very much the case in
10:38 am
all these uprisings recently it's been very much about ordinary people coming to the full finding their political voice and saying that they want things to be run differently and they want the people to determine their through the power blocs or whatever democratic whom they choose and of course if you have foreign powers intervening on one side or the other in that conflict i think it does it really draws popular sovereignty 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 since the 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
10:39 am
reestablishing their involvement and control and that is not a good start for water essentially liberating movements in those countries headed towards democracy away from all for 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 a being absolutely they've gone far far beyond the terms of the u.n. security council resolution one seen them juggling with words trying to make what they're 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
10:40 am
amount of help that nato has offered what do you make of bats. well i suppose i imagine that they probably don't have experience of dealing with nature were dealing with foreign governments and their their intentions 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 is to come to power in their country and stop its 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
10:41 am
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 struggle starr says the report says that that was misjudgment of the risk that those weapons would be used on civilians do you accept that as a misjudgment well. 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 and 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 are native and i'm sure that commercial interests have always come first in those kinds of deals and i i very much hope that there will be a real reassessment that now recently you and four hundred thousand others marched
10:42 am
in london against the government how much support did you pursue. before your hands of the middle east position at that march do you think that public outcry 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 people look back so much money is being spent on tourism one of the points we were making was if there's not money for education for higher education for the libraries and nurseries all these types of things and people are being made and employed saying there's no money why is money always found for more boy sit down for nuclear weapons not only iraq and afghanistan but also now libya how can this be justified and i think the opinion polls very strongly show that the majority of people agree with us on that this is a. fairly small minority supported the government's interests in its aims
10:43 am
in its intervention in libya and the majority not in support of that that doesn't surprise me at all because i think particularly since what's what happened in iraq and some government shenanigans over that and some dishonesty about our war aims i think people are now much more critical and much more wanting 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 has been thank you very much thank you. for some this is just
