question. the week's top stories from our team mates the launches its heaviest and most publishing is strikes in the libyan capital killing as the rebels complain the alliance is ignoring the real frontline meanwhile the chorus of international condemnation over syria. comes to the boiling grease is the government moves to make deeper cuts in public spending an exchange for another ring in germany footing the bill say they're getting tired of paying. the u.s. guided missile walsh itself into the black sea for naval exercises with ukraine but the move provoked moscow's anger claims it's a problem for the nato controversial field program. next hour interview with nato
2:33 pm
secretary general anders fogh rasmussen an interview he gave to us this week he defended the alliances actions in libya and insisted the organization has no plans to act in syria. thank you very much for joining us here on r t it's much appreciated i want to get straight to our first question but u.k. and france want a u.n. security council resolution condemning the syrian government and your opinion are we having for libya two point zero here no i would like to stress that nato has no intention whatsoever to intervene in syria at the same time lots of critics expect that that could be the case if we see a resolution russell saying that the fact that it's even being debated is going to cause more violence in syria. there might be some kind of intervention do you think
2:34 pm
not if the u.n. goes had it goes ahead rather and approves that resolution once again let me stress we have no intention to intervene in syria having said that. the international condemnation of the brutal attacks against the civilian population syria the only way forward is to accommodate the legitimate aspirations of the syrian people let's look at the lack of an entry strategy into libya it could be said that you were dragged into this rushing to regime change have you accidently gone to war in libya definitely not on the contrary we considered this very carefully we laid out certain conditions that should be fulfilled before we took action and the decisive factor was that the united nations richard roth correct me if i'm wrong but obviously the u.n.
2:35 pm
resolution was laid out for a no fly zone and lots of people would consider what's happening in libya to be much more than a no fly zone actually the u.n. security council resolution goes beyond a no fly zone cording to the u.n. security council resolution we are mandated to. protect the civilian population in libya taking all necessary measures and that's exactly what we're doing right now now all the necessary measures if i might speak of what admiral pollo has legitimate strikes on any command center in libya i just want to clarify for some of our viewers who have seen homes bombed they've seen civilian buildings blown to pieces does daffy in a car on a phone or in a hospital on a phone constitute a command center for your purposes when you say any means. i would like to stress that we are not targeting individuals which we. do to military.
2:36 pm
targets. and of course common control centers can be used to plan and organize attacks against civilians show amount of control. military targets that's what i'd like to read a question to you that was written to us by one of our viewers on facebook. who's from paris france wants to know why nato is bombing metropolitan areas in libya and civilians are being killed what do you say to. we do all we can to avoid civilian casualties we are in libya to protect civilians against attacks and this is the reason why our commandos are very very careful in identifying legitimate military targets but the g. eight has to mediate in libya they sent an envoy and as mikhail margelov arrived intensified bombing of libya begad why is that. there's no link between the two
2:37 pm
events we appreciate all attempts to find a political solution to the crisis in libya because obviously there is no military solution only we need a political process having said that i still think that a strong military pressure on the ground after the regime will facilitate a fruitful political process mr rangel of yesterday in fact stated and you just mentioning that that that the military conflict doesn't have to be there means that it could be resolved peacefully he's stating that he believes that both the rebels and the regime forces are ready to negotiate that they both think that war is not the way out of this conflict so why are you still bombing libya with this information coming from the russian envoy that both sides are are ready to talk. we are continuing our regime because we still see gadhafi regime attacking each own
2:38 pm
population and it's absolutely outrageous and. has mandated an operation to protect civilians and we will continue our operation as long as the regime still attacks on people you met with the russian defense minister sort of called yesterday and he believes that troops on the ground in libya are now a possibility do you think there will be troops under your command in the future. we have no intention to put troops on the ground in libya what if gadhafi doesn't back down well i do believe that the combination of a strong military pressure and a reinforced political pressure will eventually lead to the collapse of the regime it may happen tomorrow it may take some weeks but we will stay committed on until we have fulfilled three very clear military objectives firstly
2:39 pm
a complete end to all attacks against civilians secondly withdrawal of gadhafi military forces and paramilitary forces to their barracks and certainly immediate and unhindered humanitarian access to people in need so we will continue our until these objectives are met talk of post-war libya seems premature doesn't it given william hague and him seeing stating that nato as he sees it will be there until after christmas this of course all despite a ninety day deadline when do you think you'll leave the libyan people at peace. well i'm not going to guess about any time frame what i can say is that we are prepared to stay committed as long as it takes to fully implement the u.n. mandate and that is to protect the civilian population against any attack what
2:40 pm
about the civilians that are being attacked in syria in them in bahrain. yeah of course that's a legitimate question the difference is that in libya we are operating on the basis of a u.n. mandate and was strong support from contras in the region actually a number of countries in the region contribute actively to our operation for these reasons we are in libya. what do you say to critics who aren't convinced that nato is and goal is to protect civilians and that in fact is a regime change. we have been very open about our military objectives. to complete into attacks against civilians withdrawal of gadhafi forces and humanitarian access these are all military objectives and we will continue until they are met. in parallel there is a political trial. defined by the international community. recently
2:41 pm
the g eight group including the russian president called on at afi to leave power. and. these two tracks are separate a military price track and a political track but having said that i think it's hard to imagine a complete end to attacks against civilians in libya as long as gadhafi remains in power i'd like to move on to missile defense in europe if i may defense minister surgical also said yesterday that he has been largely ignored by you in your plans for a.m.d. over europe of course you wouldn't accept that but the facts they certainly at this stage speak for themselves don't they. no russia is definitely not ignored on the contrary we have invited russia to cooperate on missile defense the fact is that nato has decided to develop
2:42 pm
a nato based missile defense system because we want to protect our populations against mr low tax from whom but we would all like will cooperate with our secretary standing or we are faced with file tax from who from russia. we are faced with a common threat and this is the reason why we would like to see two independent missile defense systems a russian system and a nato system cooperate for instance by exchanging data the whole system would become much more effective that way to the benefit of the russian population and population in nato countries you do understand that it sounds a little bit of a contradiction there you talk about joint trust about a mutual threat and then about separate systems why want one system between nato and russia be acceptable to protect both sides from any kind of threat. because i
2:43 pm
don't think at the end of the day. the russian government and the russian people would accept to be subject to a common commitment. i think. the russian nation as such would insist on having control of its own missile defense system and this is the reason why the most realistic approach would be to have two independent systems but with a common purpose but the common purpose is protect our populations now mr rasmussen has been proposing a joint european defense system. and i think the best way to join efforts would be to relate to independent systems cooperate with the aim to protect the russian people as well as people in nato countries russia constantly claims that nato can't guarantee. that its interests will be protected why can't nato it's not these guarantees. the best guarantee whatsoever would
2:44 pm
be to engage in close cooperation because growth cooperation between russia and nato would clearly demonstrate that our missile defense is really a defense and it's not aimed at russia. let's face it. we do not consider russia as threat to nato and nato does not constitute a threat to russia so let's join efforts let us cooperate but russia sees it as they can't go forward on promises why can't you daren't see russia on paper that a missile defense system would not be directed towards them. either but it's very easy to guarantee that because we do not we don't have any intention to attack russia not whatsoever but the best guarantee russia could get would be to engage in
2:45 pm
a close cooperation then for instance a step is common a joint center where we could exchange data that would clearly demonstrate that this system is not aimed at russia mr rasmussen the facts might demonstrate otherwise thank you very much for taking the time out to be live with us from brussels it's very much appreciated hope to see you again. while. there are people suffering. oh some take advantage of power that was given to the. secrets of big dirty money. on our team. the mission free accreditation free transport charges free come
