so first well thank you very much for joining us here on r.t. well in two thousand and eight you were welcomed in london tony blair embraced your father you received a ph d. from london school of economics and now just three years on you have. targeted by nato missiles in your own country split by civil war why do you think has your face turned so violently to good reading for fun for others. we heard. i mean we've got most of us from. many countries. from iran. this is your mistake you give up your weapons of mass destruction you'll start developing new styles and you'll be here in very friendly with the worst and this is the result so what does it mean this is

a message to everybody that you have your strong and never trust them. you have to be. alert because those people who don't have friends over what i. understand. and the same thing could happen to undercut the country talking about mistakes and lessons what would you have done differently one of our big mistakes that we stopped. not to stop it we delayed buying new weapons. especially from russia for the b.b.c. by the way we delayed that. building only strong army because we thought that we would not fight again the americans the europeans are our friends are not i think in. so. not to build a strong modern army was a big because we thought that would solve our problems and now we are peaceful country. more normal relation we do business i believe in said this was our

mistake to be very tolerant with our enemies so everybody is blaming me that is because if you because you were a pillar and you were nice with everybody and now when you brought all the enemies from abroad to libya and this there is a charge by the international criminal court that design in quotation states policy aimed at deterring and quelling by any means including by the use of lethal force the demonstrations of civilians against the south is regime which started in february two thousand and eleven this policy exist. come on the accuse me of killing people everybody in office even bibles themselves and then accuse me of using force because i'm not in the in the army i'm not in the government so for me to be responsible for killing people it was a big joke second your the people who died at the beginning one hundred fifty nine and most of the people died when we decided and this would happen anyway and

anywhere in the world and russia in america and france and germany and italy if. people in the street move towards a military trained military or arms the military would prevent this what happened in benghazi who are they these people and later on we found our most of the they belonged to an islamist groups but it was too late a direct question to give your your father. all the army to kill plasters of course not this number one no second. my father called the general i but that isn't because you know he's one of the leaders of the of the levels you called him and called him and called because of. we told him many times don't use force when people he told us why

they are attacking them it is size is very difficult to issue who did order nobody covered nobody guards fired. but if i did was the guards. we're surprised by that and they start fighting fire in. order to work to defend themselves and defend the. camps that's the purpose of this war and when nature is already trying to kill your father with this core of . the sentence or against against the. capital punishment so they decided to kill me and my father and they did kill my brother and they destroyed my house so this is you need to execute you

so now you're out of the world i recently i mean three months ago to kill me and you are after me every day you are trying to find me and to give me really a mother so is the world number two just to tell you that the supreme court there a little while they are trying to negotiate with us a deal to look at this the. cure of course what does that mean it means it is at its core is controlled by those countries. which attack us every day this is just reports of psychological and political pressure that it is saying nato is trying to kill you right today i was swimming and i was very hard at what we were to the beach. so we are in our country. fighting for our country living with our people. our country where we would if we die we go to heaven so

what nato is bombing libya and the libyan government says there's more than nine hundred people have been killed since the beginning of the operation in march while nato has only had to meet at nine civilians and they destroyed our house in the middle of. a. small house thrown from a guy. many houses people are living near this small school next to them and the boy and that house with. the kid my brother he young said. he had nothing to do with the war with politics he was fighting in germany because of the war he came back to libya it was the sleeping. word and it was. a command and control center. where the two bedrooms

a kitchen living on a small house is if your example for my family let alone many other examples one week ago they had the house of a friend of my father in the whole family. the wife pregnant. two young girls of the day and said here we are hitting a military site. a president. with her kids. controlling and commanding libyan troops. so very funny she will then be have one target this country is a piece of cake rich full of guys oil and we have more than one hundred billion dollars abroad so we have to share this cake that it. may

have to get of them started early because it is the only obstacle between us and i think it's as simple as that but there are some people saying that if gadhafi the fighting will start store. smart because the goal is not the goal is to control libya this is accountability this is the target. and the libyans will not allow them to do that. so the fight will continue but what do you think about media war who's winning this war at the beginning the one everyone . or everyone because it was planned from beginning to get out is in prince william . collapsed. applied to police and then he got. into it because of the whole country. still now suffering from the articles but now

believe. we're one day everybody and they were saying the libyan libyan navy is bombing the harbor of mr. and mrs this is in the middle of the desert it's one thousand criminals on here and the libyan ships are bombing the harbor of mr sisson in the security council resolution against libya because all the fake media reported seeing. is bombing. civilian districts and killing seven thousand people we started with a class let me finish with the future. it's knowing that you get a message from the front there will be no place for you in a post-war libya and with this when i see why interest wants to broad so realistically where do you go from here who you were many people angry with me

right because you said. they had a problem there. my mind my friends but at that time i was very liberal poland. very peaceful. peaceful to a certain extent. for the. libyans are equal to those so everybody has to. to be in libya. to be active do do whatever they want but later on we found that. there were. it was because spitting image for those people against libya so they said it's because a few of those snakes. managed to penetrate our country and work with foreigners to stay accountable so we overly angry with you because you are very tolerant and don't forget i released all the prisoners at the beginning of

the zero prisoners. so i was going on a few instances too much terms but do you think they're right to be honest we were we were super tolerant. i was naive because you no longer. nothing what how it changed i will not going to think. of you i'm getting a formal. to see him or sneak from the same hall so i can see you i can forgive you but only for good so what you have done is going to be mine for a long time and. we called police and according to the

experience one all this nightmare will be over how do you think this little dribbles paul and harry they want to put it as soon as possible because they are hungry they are tired they want to share the cake. slake for them leaving it is like passed from the dollars past because evolution passed passed all passed. first will its first victory. but we are very patient because we are in our country so until we leave here with here so we're very patient one day the french go back to corsica in france the italians will go back to sicily and italy. the danish will go back to denmark and kids will go back to toronto. and libby would back to the libyans.

four had to have clashed all of them in the finals but this is the first wimbledon decide that their own swell of dollars taking part in good spirits straight final in london the sense of cool showdown begins in just a few minutes time. i believe is towards czech republic spetzler commutable who celebrated her maiden grand slam success off the greeting maria sharapova our own sounds is a very strange the only breaks before play settled down barclays it was brilliant decision making paid off later in the sad breaking the russian sub to take it by six games to a three second salted with a check point had producing yet to know the break up of our managed to tie it to games all. however they continue to take each other server allowing me to eventually wrap up the match in straight sets six three six four and eight on match point the twenty one year old grand slam title so huge disappointment for sort of about the two thousand and four champions as he regards reaching the final as an

achievement in itself after years of injury you can make sure. it's a big step considering as a result. it's a big step because my game is improving. and it's a big step because it gives me a tremendous amount of confidence going forward. we still have many tournaments this year in the next on the phone. just to be a better player. i don't know about this. feeling maybe i. i accept it after sunday. and also on day twelve create a passion can cut there in a certain point make want to ladies doubles while america grows bold and my brian koinange they mouths doubles crown of paris saying off with. oprah mania six three six four seven six to claim their second wimbledon trophy and their last

a dozen birdies and this eagle on the sixteenth fallen meanwhile enjoyed much smoother sailing during round three despite a mystical also on the sixteenth both men now it right on the cross over to the men through the overnight me to k.g. choi in second south korean carving up for bookies after tying the course record the previous day. now that's when she eleven two to france continues today with a team time trial while south of the soul plenty of riders get off to a terrible start to the race defending champion alberta courses or among those losing time in the late crash during the opening stage no prologue time time time trial these here with the riders going straight to stage one optional sprint expert phillips will bear him on the front runners for most of the day until the peloton began picking up a slow ride them of simply in ski the man triggering a massive pileup after a camera man wandered into his path contador and lost his owner of the schleck

among those losing ground following the extraordinary crash killed valens though voided the carnage in his first tour in three years the belgian branding all fatal even centaur who should wait on to take the yellow jersey for at least one day. saying on to will's spot with horsepower not pedal power where it's been a great start to the weekend for cases still into the all stretch and setting a cool strike a jello on way to clinching pole for sunday's italian grand prix the australian did way to round and set a blistering mark with one minute forty point thirty four seconds to hold the rider finishing at. out of last week's dutch t.t. winner. spies and marcus in on chilly around the front row on the three hundred of his heels of more yellow around so and point out awards will start from the second line with last year's winner dani but also further back in eighth place.

and that brings us pitch sideway of colombia off to winning starts on the day on the air in a verse three of the so called by america title the two thousand and one champions beating costa rica one meal a day to all south americans south american football's most prestigious tournament the costa rican spacing an uphill battle right before the half hour mark captain randall brennan it's perhaps judge himself unlucky to have received a straight red for this challenge. a little bit taking full advantage going had all the stroke of half time freddy go. through ball finding out ground almost makes no mistakes one meal and that was how we could finish despite plenty of chances for lobbying in the second period move the ball of argentina in the group after the hosts only drew with believe they're in big competitions opening fixture . and the income plan of brazil have been training ahead of their opener against the nasrallah later on sunday the defending

champions go in for their ninth victory in the continental championship on the new manager and there's a residue of big favorites for this one but to find my cause after that surprise draw between argentina and believe me on friday they take nothing for granted even at an early stage. i'm convinced it's almost as good to be very difficult as it has to get it's everything in the nothing will be easy just like believe it should and thinking about stuff and getting there is most to win the game to win matches to food to him and i suppose you think you now russian. these will be going for the euro basket title agents of the day as they take on sticky championships final in pearland two thousand and nine runners up russia will play surprised by the roots of the european decider for only the second time in their history and there's a third place game dethroned champions france will take on the czech republic. and

finally the temperatures here in moscow have been reaching and passing thirty degrees celsius regularly over the past few weeks just perfect for swimming then and no better time for the open water championships to take place and that's in part of reports. perfect weather and a perfect venue that's what the moscow open water champagne ship is known for an annual event attracts more and more participants every year this time another record was set with more than one hundred swimmers in different ways says she will have you back over there i'm really glad the number of participants increases dramatically every year we try to make it a popularity track people mass appeal of event will increase the skills of the athletes and many young swimmers take part in the event it alongside professional athletes so it was no surprise that a member of the national team who are easily won at a distance of three kilometers. that continued i performed well here and i'm satisfied with the result however it was more like training for me than

a serious competition just to prove to myself i'm good for however look many national team swimmers participated as they were arrested ahead of the world aquatics championships that starts in two weeks and china and russia traditionally are among the favorites in open water disciplines. the russian championship has just finished and we have a few days off and then we start preparing for the world championships it's a vital start because then we'll be licensed to complete and the london olympics. will have big games for the world championships it's hard to predict something with one hundred forty countries competing but we've never let they vent without medals i hope will improve our results compared to the previous world championships would have won here the follow on the olympics every start isn't boring and with the world championship being part of calling for a full twenty twelve summer olympics this is new beginnings of the ground becomes crucial because they're about out of thirty. and europe they for the hour coming up

is the weather stay with our team. hungry for the full story we've got it for the time the biggest issues get the human voice face to face with the news makers. from. home.
