. suspected paedophiles in russia are escaping justice with some escaping tough punishment through new polls and current laws activists according for reforms to russia's sex offenders in the station. well as more civilians die in nature and strikes in libya serious questions being asked over the legality of the nonces intervention and r.t. spoke to the former editor of the pritish newspaper the sun who says that libya was a good p.r. stunt for the british government as he shares his insights now into the conflict and that's coming up in our interview next. today i'm talking to kelvin mackenzie former editor of the sun newspaper columnist he's spoken out against the military intervention in libya saying that libya is not worth an ounce of british blogs help mackenzie that's a very strong position to take i mean the government reckons the abstracts prevented a massacre in benghazi easily that's worth

a few british soldiers and so it seems well first of all we don't know whether there was going to be a massacre a big goals of this was the p.r. this was the government push this was cameron's personal speech. in the end of the day that this is libyans fighting libyans and who are we to say who should be running their country after all when i last looked i didn't notice any libyans interfere when the cavaliers in the roundheads took place in a revolution or there as far as i could see there was nobody from tripoli very rare in the french revolution this is a revolution quite normal the other side of got guns mysteriously they seem to have rocket propelled grenades they seem to have anti aircraft fire ability these are little people sitting there with a spud gun leaning over a friend saying your fairly sophisticated but if you take the other aspect is that

the rebels themselves who i wish well although i feel very unsure about what our relationship with libya is going to be at the end of the lips we have al qaeda. how do we know that at the end of the day but they don't end up running the country we don't know anything about this there is a justification for us doing much more than for no fly zones there is a justification when they blew up a passenger airline over lockerbie killing our people on the ground and killing people for america there was a justification to do what i suspect russia might have done under the same circumstances which you said right we're coming in we're taking you out we're bombing the hell out of the place and then there'll be a change of regime and that would have been more justifiable than this but libyan rebels did off off into the may also nature intervene to be not that will have a duty to go in and help him out and we don't want you to do we were to a saw

a in a revolution who is trying to grab power to decide what the outcome of that war is going to be i say we have no duty while we are out there wandering around the desert there was a justification it was lockerbie there's no justification i prefer the russian position i prefer the chinese position i prefer the german position all of which is the siamese we wish you well we're not firing any guns away not sending in any brains what now that they feel with lieschen that we pull out and leave the libyans to what could essentially be a bloody civil war it is a bloody civil war that's what happens in civil wars it isn't the point the reason the you have the word war involved in civil war is it's not called civil negotiation it is a fight and in the end i expect the rebels they will win but they don't need to win

risking our blood and our money what if now that the its national community has irreparably fallen out with him he actually stays in power in the first of all i don't care about the international community and secondly they haven't you know they don't like him but there's lots of people they don't like i mean one of their . actor why don't they go in libya just go down the road a bit to the congo where literally under a thousand people have been wiped out why haven't we gone there why don't we go and protect the minority tribe in zimbabwe water after there's a lot of injustice in the world and maybe injustice even in this country who knows but the issue is that there is nothing that can be done the international community is a big factor story and walk on to the politicians is that they look around themselves to look at their ratings in the polls and they say you know what i'm not doing very well here the people who vote for me think i'm going to get a bigger charge me i'll tell you what i'll do what i want to run north africa wander around the middle east where do we go into saudi arabia where they've been

march is the king is announce there will be severe repercussions for demonstrations and in the east they started firing everybody why don't we go into b.m. in why don't we go in everywhere what's your answer to all these questions why don't we go and see them and why don't we going to syria because it's nothing to do with us we have neither the power the firepower nor the will nor as we learned from iraq where one hundred eighty of. good people died and probably forty billion forty or fifty billion quid went out of our coffers which we could possibly even fill the potholes up with that i write that has nothing to do with this things take time and yet we have still going into libya which by you know take oath a has nothing to do with us is because we could have been open about gadhafi you know really is where we're in nation trying to relive the old days of the empire with cameron keep on shouting where of all the pink bits gone you know strolling around the middle east you know with out of sight enough without an exit plan we know how to go into these

places we have no idea how to get out u.k. institutions played a big role in rehabilitating the cathy regime not to say don't say that for they go said knight been labelled media now that the media has. turned on him again how important is it for the team to my thing an intervention like this and indeed regime change will be divided up into two points first of all the governments whoever there are going on there for forty odd years we have been licking garfield's backside there for for decades whether we supply arms to the more we embrace them like that discussed in place or were. put actually these people that you know at the same time politicians move either way so when we're kissing could off his backside and now we're trying to kick it it's ridiculous so the media do have a role in the robbery of the media is to expose

that we are trading with dictators now so what does the government say they say we have to view with the reality the political reality we have to we have to trade with nice people and then somebody wakes up whatever to do and so trading with problems that. it is pathetic absolutely pathetic but at the same time it every so often the government changes pyaar and when the government trains you spare their view changes per hour so there's no consistency to my mind actually the media have been pretty good they've been pretty good the problem we face now is we're now at war with people i we don't want so we actually have to support our troops we don't have to support ideas like cameron got nothing else to do can't decide whether we should be wandering around all spittle in the u.k. or should be wandering around the battlefields of of the middle east but we do have

to square troops so the media gets caught in a difficult position its troops are its readers and all the center of our world. the government there idiots and the libyan regime are disgusting so the media gets caught in a very difficult period and you were the mace notorious editor of the u.k. to make sure it's tabloids very kind of you to put it on do you rate that that it with tabloid culture is that the that made wars like this easier to sell and popularized with the british public. except the first bit of the sun except that the sun did spectacularly undermine excellent editorship and i think that they didn't actually make any difference to government policy i mean you know the issue about the media is it's like the sea it's always with us you simply got to put up with it if you're a policymaker and it all right there will be

a lot of aggravation about libya now i mean it started off the right we thought we were going to blow it blow them all out of the water we'd all be home for having a cup of tea at the ritz. so the nightmare is still to be faced in my view but i don't think it's fair to blame the media for it i mean i would personally massively hostile to to the libyan impression mainly because i saw why happened in iraq at least things take peculiar as would you can't really work out intellectually nor guess. nevertheless. you know i'm very much in favor of our soldiers and so you get torn and put the media was stronger i think you're right about the media stronger because of what happened in iraq i mean the trouble was that a million people marched against the iraq war blair blair was not telling his cabinet and things will be revealed now because he was scared they were going to leak so basically they were deciding it as though you and i were having a nice chat another glass of saving the world and it said oh yes it would be what

you think given the office he was a bit of a go yes good idea time when they went to write so the million were ignored people with a that's the government's various governments and nothing from the iraq and afghanistan but do you think what in fact what will learn how to sell another military intervention no absolutely the issue is quite clear. we didn't want iraq it was lumbered on us by the vainglorious prime minister. cameron is now wandering around in the desert of to brooke trying to work out how to get out he would look an idiot at the end of all this but the but the underlying issue is with libya. there have been no deaths on our side just worry if i only caught that crash and god forbid we lose ten people all all by the way to use those heat seeking missiles which you can basically just walk in and type you could call in to today's papers.

if that happened we saw it being blown out of the sky don't even think about it so the issue is we haven't dropped any blood yeah we've dropped tens of millions of pounds which we haven't gotten but not one single one of the people who has died when that happens the game and the p.r. game will change politically what does someone like david cameron gain from waging a war in africa a military of war come and saw what was in it for him for a country he's a pro for he years unfortunately a professional bleeding heart and so he's one of those guys who rush around endlessly he's a total political animal by the way rush around endlessly saying something must be done the answer is something mustn't be done it's like when used bad to send off a really stinking is email on the night before to your boss right don't send that a mile go to bed wake up in the morning reread it as i would it was

a good idea or not cameron hasn't got that ability basically i think he's gone mad but he's gone mad very early he's only been in power a year now bromley is he going to be if he last as long as blair blair was thirty five at the end of it all but my suspicion is that the pressure is just driven involving kelvin mackenzie thank you very much. the mood. just simply is.

less than fifteen minutes from now in the meantime the tasha updates on the sport needs this hour. thank you bill hello and welcome to the sport and here are the headlines this hour first eleven russia coach stick out because as he will pick his strongest side for wednesday's friends here in the russian capital. r.t. catches up with him form spot at moscow's aiden mcgeady as the irish midfielder recovers from an ankle injury. and in more football angles from me without a wild place called off because of the riots in london. so russia goes the cow because says he will pick his best eleven for wednesday's from making a setback adding there's no time to experiment ahead of the false approaching european qualifies how about the dutchman

a whale have to do with thousand and eight but feel that it gives a nice set for picked up an injury during saturday's tree at tabletop was scott moscow meanwhile said bellamy sinks all players but in his last evanovich of chelsea and in some longs they have each of the spy that advocates old richard there's still a strong team and russia will need to play very well to prepare for september's european qualifiers against macedonia and the group be joined me there's. no other tells in the proposal goes to those two you always go for the final matches. the players are showed a. great deal to do something well so if you know what you're going to do people said you national teams play i mean you know. macedonian a very very good strong defensively going to get the old we are still. allowed to play england it's a sos serve you gave it a good look we're the good relations use them so. it was you go to i didn't believe

we would play because it's a misnomer the time for experimentation was it really just trying to solidify your stance and eleven and get going to get up. to play was a big. an engine used some of the diesel for. regularly and we don't believe they can do is now more from the risk of the so for the games who are coming up so i send them back to say this is the most because i'm going to come from some install in a very good position going into the small stuff for games yet you know well we all we have to do our own and so we get three home games as well so we have to do that because the fact that i have the feeling that an overhaul of a preview can we were the better side so now we have to continue in a funk for god's sake on the question of. the greats and pretty much just recently concert some need to put right margin in the new spleen brushes inability to win very much as of last year or so i was happy to be on as was the last for a given the chance to come along and i was dropping that was

a very good guy who is the players who are not going to go normally the regulars are going through well now for starters there's a show that they can do it as well. and it ends on the russian and seven for us as a cancer paper to secure more from the russians in the future the president of the russian for a billion instead of gay for some guy on his so bank accounts about to stop but i just signed a deal and also in broad population between the two national associations. and while russia plans ahead for next month's european qualify against island has been a tough couple of months the irishman aiden mcgeady and twenty five year old has missed almost half of spartak moscow squash as they say and i call injury after being widely regarded as the club's player of the season ok the spoke to our own irishman union on the. i'm joined here today by republic of ireland and sports like moscow winger eighteen mcgeady eden thanks so much for taking the time to speak to us first things first how is your injury progressing this canceling the growth of.

about history and obviously guns of all hope it will win that for it nine months of talk and. push for a lot of the hardest for me of course. and just importantly by playing with another two or three weeks now you've been in russia just about a year now believe the start of august became lost last year how is your russian experience been so far but always been good of joy. i've enjoyed this sort of weird way for a while here obviously takes a lot by getting yourself but. i've enjoyed this will fall and obviously the football was the main thing the football was really going reasonably well with. and also i see also the good part is this so i think it unfair way for healing the language but you know i'm getting slightly better lives were not so i was going to say are you taking lessons or had one with god is going off that my brain this wasn't what i want to know how. much is that script because i'm a mother and obviously it would be what's your typical day here i thought i was called quesada you may think they want to see. you come in for ten o'clock in the

morning normally and then you see the doctor you get with and you recall these boxes and how your shoe and what are why and how your body isn't in chino oven and . after you die or talk to the best or so they may even call. us so it was a good life obviously you believe the team can finally fulfil what they've been trying to do for years now and when the championship going to start this is not as everyone seemed. in order the way we started the ball the championship was really doing well but i mean who's to say you know because not only of one big games you know of a spot which i'm shocked classmates and then be certain you know second top or second place. that's the thing think it's always it's a very very young squad we have. you know often over all we have the close to just put it like this you could have really gone to your pick of clubs why did you choose russia in the first place for me because it was a chance to go. to put in

a bit of a. ploy to get all that you could put on the room to see mostly suited for you because off interesting from the show a move on is best for everyone but do you miss the all from your the thrill of the huge game me last cool course sometimes i watch the game you know what i see on t.v. and when i call me oh you the best thing in football. no for me it was probably you know a sunday afternoon at park a sawed off in a park it. doesn't get much better i just finally. on a lighter note is there anything you miss about scotland and home you know they're the deep fried mars bars where they are in peru. yeah of course is was those home comforts. i think i mean for me is going to be just not going this year period for. support of life we must in order

to freshen ships and stuff to go much of what you and the russian craziness are great for me thanks so much for your time pretty pretty sure. i'll stay with the girl that england scored held a training session on tuesday only to find out later that that friendly with the netherlands was called off because of the london riots the teams words used to play each other at wembley stadium on wednesday the f.a.a. says the decision is regrettable but had to be made after taking advice from the police as they cannot guarantee the safety of either the fans or the players striker wayne rooney has even appealed for calm on swades is saying this is embarrassing for the country stop playing and his fellow players and officials also joined in the chorus of disapproval. on behalf of the squad we want to say that we're disappointed but tomorrow's game has been called off. but obviously we understand the reasons behind this decision and support it. we've all seen the
