2:31 pm
the radiations. and they took the libyan capital destroying several government buildings in one of the heaviest airstrikes and weeks it comes amid opposition claims of an anti daffy uprising a building up in the suburbs but something the government's tonight. starting talks to pritish nandy nuclear activist about nato's involvement in libya and its suspected use of unconventional 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 place that it hasn't been some come quick humanitarian swoop that would be over
2:32 pm
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 and that of course intervention in the civil war is illegal but i think one of the most tragic arguments of course lives repeated unfortunately now repeated incidents of the interventionist forces actually killing the side stand simply 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 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
2:33 pm
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 on 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 is going to be hard but it will have to take 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
2:34 pm
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 and 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 some armies and both the us and the u.k. do still have a policy of using them simply to uranium the emissions the the weaponry which britain is currently deploying is not suitable for british. missions there are land based mediations 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
2:35 pm
a plane constructed around a cannon and they thought in far thousands of rounds of depleted uranium munitions the top brass u.s. top brass has announced that those air gunships are being used then did so scrutiny 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 a new. notably in the first gulf war in bosnia you could slavia 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 a new so we do not have confidence in the current assurance that the a tends to pull in libya aren't using depleted uranium and we know the terrible consequences for the health of the environment as a result of depleted uranium usage it's
2:36 pm
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 that as a result we've heard time and time again that these astronauts are designed to protect civilians but even the potential use of pieces uranian gives the lie so that surely well absolutely because depleted uranium is a weapon of indiscriminate effect because of the impact what happens is that when the cheryl or 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 law also can have a very long term effect because of the radioactive qualities has
2:37 pm
a negative impact also on the environment so these are illegal under international law some countries have not yet recognized that 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 unacceptable in any case but particularly if you're 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 this 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 among the people well i think it's really just the most 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
2:38 pm
finding their political voice and saying that they want things to be run differently and they want the people to determine through the power box and every 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 it really withdraws popular sovereignty element to take. 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 in 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
2:39 pm
a good start for water essentially liberating movements in those countries headed towards democracy away from authorities here 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 used 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. in fits 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 and 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 suppose i
2:40 pm
imagine that they probably don't have experience of dealing with nato 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 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 lone 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 detailed political negotiations that will have to take place ultimately but thanks to a recent government report we now know that the u.k.
2:41 pm
was selling weapons to get at least regime as little as four months before this trouble starts is the report says that that was misjudgment a 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 and freedom benchmark against which they measure their sales i'm sure they can't have perhaps 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 that there will be a real reassessment that now recently you and four hundred thousand others marched in london against the government how much support did you pursue. before your hands
2:42 pm
of the middle east position at that march do you think that public outcry against this interaction is growing stronger yes obviously most people were there or everyone was really protesting about the government cuts but it's not wasted on paypal 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 for nurseries all these types of things people are being made and employed saying there's no money why is money always found for war why is it brown for nuclear weapons also in iraq and afghanistan could 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 now supporting the government's interests when it's really in its intervention in libya and the majority are not in support of that
2:43 pm
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 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 judgement on balance the british people in their majority arrived as a judgment for peace has thank you very much thank you. for sun this is just a parliament building in britain. but spent sixty six years ago
