6:08 pm
better and the global economic crisis so you have the euro zone crisis and you also have how the global economic crisis impacted united states so there has been a general type of environment which has encouraged individuals to take out their frustrations newly arrived immigrants so i think that this is something that is actually very very very very important for western policymakers to look at so i think the coming years we're going to see more of this right wing extremism. in the light of these attacks norway has imposed new border controls denmark had the same thing more than two weeks ago a move strongly criticized by other e.u. members alexander celadon from moscow state humanitarian university says there are signs that united europe may be coming apart. the european project east collapsing is slowly collapsing you know there are lots of i mean. the north africa

a huge credibility gap between the genuine united states of america and its european nato partners coming away in the next hour i'll go and i'll speak with alexis crow from the u.k. israel institute of international affairs about nato's role in the libyan conflict here's a quick preview. if you look at the international community in the wider international community sometimes if you look at meijers engagement with other countries for example afghanistan. and iraq it's given me to a bad name it means that the u.k. and the u.s. are coming to see regime change essentially and so because of that bad name to begin with france and britain and the us did not you explicitly did not use the words regime change and of course there are several serious one of whom is called elie cohen from america and he said that the use of air power exclusive air power to use carry out
6:23 pm
a political solution is equivalent to modern courtship. immediate satisfaction without little guaranteed commitment and so in that sense is a policy of what robert p. calls the competition of the competition policy lou taking the head off of a regime does little to change anything political the ground as we've so clearly seen in afghanistan with the removal of the taliban and so we've clearly seen with the removal of saddam hussein so it's not a policy that works regime change. however i would say that therefore wasn't on the cards to begin with in that very overt sense but of course it had to be because if you're thinking of stopping him killing his citizens you obviously have to stop him . from being in power in some sense i would say that in libya either we should have gone in it all. we should have done something like this which of course is not the nature of coalition fighting.
