good morning from moscow if you're just joining us a very warm welcome this is our t.v. with you twenty four hours a day top stories now massive austerity cuts in the government's budget policies are blamed for losing control of the streets to four nights of riots in the u.k. . europe's top bankers says the continent's suffering its worst financial ordeal since the second world war as fears grow france could be next in line to lose its top credit rating. activists in russia are taking matters into their own

hands when it comes to catching paedophiles who escaped justice from sex crimes laws or slammed for being inadequate in keeping the french from the playground. and i'll be back with another summary of the news from in about fifty minutes from now the meantime as more civilians die in nato air strikes in libya serious questions are being asked over the legality of the intervention and i actually spoke to the former editor of the british newspaper the sun who says that libya was a good p.r. stunt for the british government and he shares his insights into the conflict that's coming up next in our interview. today i'm talking to kelvin mackenzie format that's healthy strong nice paper alex cullen there he's spoken out against the military intervention in libya saying that libya is not worth an ounce of personal blogs help mackenzie that's a very strong position to take i mean the government reckons that strikes prevented a massacre in benghazi that's worth a few british bombs and so it seems well first of all we know where there was going

to be a massacre of big goals this was the pre this was the government push this was cameron the personal space. in the end of the day that this is libyans fighting libyans and who 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 their revolution or their as far as i could see there was nobody from tripoli wondering where in the french revolution this is a revolution quite normal the other side of got guns we still see they seem to have rocket propelled grenades they seem to have anti aircraft fire ability these are not people sitting there with a spud gun leaning over a frame saying your date a fairly sophisticated 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 wondering around. how do we know that at the end of the they don't end up running with them country we don't know anything about unless there is a justification for us doing much more than for no fly zones there is a justification when they blew up a passenger. 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 been 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 will be a change of regime and that would have been more justifiable than this but libyan rebels gave off to us to intervene they also nature intervened to me not therefore have a duty to go in and help the maps we don't want jus to do we owe it to

a saw 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 no justification it was not pretty there is 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 and we're not firing any guns away not sending in any planes what now that means you're 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 isn't the point the reason that you have the word war involved in civil war is it's not called civil were negotiations bt 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 international community has

irreparably for them that with him he actually stays in power in the first war i don't care about the international community and secondly they happened but you know they don't like him but there's lots of people they don't like i mean why are they. why don't they go in while you're at libya just go down the road a bit to the congo where literally under a thousand people are being wiped out why haven't we gone there why don't we go to protect the minority tribe is involved way 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 fact rials party and walk on to the politicians is that they look around themselves to look at this their ratings in the polls and they sorry you know what i'm not doing very well here the people who vote for me think i'm going to be a bigot a child you know what's in it what i would do what i wonder around north africa i wonder around the middle east why do we go into saudi arabia where they've banned march is and 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 the main 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 get into syria because it's nothing to do with us we have neither the power the follow up to tell nor the will nor as we learned from iraq where one hundred eighty of the. people who died and probably forty billion forty or fifty billion quid went out of our coffers which we could possibly even for that was up right 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 we're worrying nation trying to relive the old days of the empire cameron keep on shelf where of all the pink bits gone you know strolling around the middle east you know without a site 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 rick that the regime not they don't have to say that for they cause the nicest spin in the label of media now that the media has. turned on him again how important is it for the chimps in my saying an intervention like this and indeed regime change. the i think should divide it up into two points first of all the government whoever there are going on there for forty odd years we have been licking gadhafi backside now for for decades whether we supply arms to the more we embrace them that discussed increase or were there but actually these people that you know the same time politicians move either way so when we're kissing it off his backside and now we're trying to kick it it's ridiculous so the media do have a role in the world of the media. is to expose

that we are trading with dictators now so what does the government say they say we have to deal with the reality the political reality we have to we have to trade with these 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 power and when the government changes spout their view changes power so there's no consistency to my mind actually the media have been pretty good 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 then next is a poor ideas like cameron got nothing else to do i'll decide whether we should be wandering around all spittle in the u.k. or should be wandering around the battlefields or of the middle east but we do have to support our troops so the media gets caught in

a difficult position its troops or 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 area and you were the mace notorious that it's out of the u.k.'s most notorious happen late very kind of you to put it like that do you rate that that it with tabloid culture is that the that made was like this easier to sell and popularized by the british public eye except the first sun except the the sun did spectacularly undermine excellent editorship 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've simply got to put up with it if you're a policymaker and right there will be a lot of aggravation about libya and there 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 well past four so the nightmare is is 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 personally massively hostile to the libyan impression mainly because i saw why of and in iraq these things take peculiar 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 that that the media stronger because of what happened in iraq i mean that the trouble was that a million people marched against the iraq war blair blair was not telling his cabinet anything will be revealed now because he was scared they were going to leak so basically they were deciding it is though you and i were having a nice chat so another glass of so in the room there said oh yes we would be what

you think given the office he was is a bit of a go yes good idea of someone then they went in right so the million were ignored people say that the government's various governments learned nothing from the iraq and afghanistan but do you think what in fact what you learned was how to tell another military intervention no absolutely the issue is quite clear. we didn't want iraq it was lumbered on us by a vain glorious prime minister. cameron is now wandering around in the desert of to broke try to work out a get out he would look at the idea of the end of all this but the but the underlying issue is with libya. there have been no deaths on our side just what if alec ought to crash and god forbid we lose ten people all all by the right to use those heat seeking missiles which you can basically just walk in and tell you according to today's papers. if that happened we saw i've been blown out

of the sky i don't even think about it so the issue is we haven't dropped any blood yet we've dropped tens of millions of pounds which we haven't got but not one single one of the people who has died when that happens the game and the p.r. game which range politically what does someone like david cameron gain from waging a war in africa a military a war cameron sore what was in it for him for a country he's a professor he is unfortunately a professional bleeding hearts and 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 this 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 and reread it because i was it was

a good idea or not cameron hasn't got that ability basically i think he's going mad he's gone mad very early he's only been in power a year and i blow me is he gonna be the last as long as blair blair was such a farmer the end of it oh well i thought my suspicion is that the pressure is just an involvement kelvin mackenzie thank you very much. to.

plaza had for next month's european qualify against island it's been a tough couple of months for irish midfielder aiden mcgeady that's when a five year old has missed almost half of spartak moscow as clashes this year due to an ankle injury after being widely regarded as the club's player of the season again he spoke to our own irish men unit on the. i'm joined here today by republic of ireland and sports like moscow winger aiden mcgeady aiden thanks so much for taking the time to speak to us first things first how is your injury progressing scarcely a bit of it's about history and obviously a bunch of apollo people when they're up for it name one some. push with one of the hottest three course but it's just a skin bell. and just i'm haunted by playing with another two or three weeks now you've been in russia just about a year now i believe the start of august you came last last year how has your russian experience been so far but always been good enjoyed. i've enjoyed the sort

of way of life or you're always had picks a lot but then you're still but. i've enjoyed this will fall in obviously but football was the main thing that it was reasonable. and that's what she always said. so i'm figuring that way for here in the language but you know i'm getting a little bit about as well that's i was going to say are you taking lessons or had one with what is going off the model in this was a well one and a half but i just it's good because i'm a mother and everything would be what's your typical day here at school quesada as you may think they want to see. you come in for ten o'clock in the morning normally and then you should have brought it with me i called the support she's in her your . body is you know of and. after are you. the best or something where you can call. us that was a good way for us and you believe a team can finally fulfil what they've been trying to do for years now and win the

championship going to start the season that was everyone's in. you know that the way we started the last by the chairmanship was really really i mean just to see you know because not only of unbeaten games you know the spot which i'm shocked at last miss and then be certain you know second before but second place. think it's always it's a very very young squad we have. you know i think overall we are the first of the printed like this you could have really gone to your pick of clubs why did you choose russia in the first place for me it was it was the chance to go. people put in a bit of a. chicken but on the pursuit of. our offer it was painful so i move one is best for everyone but do you miss the all for me of the thrill of the huge game going to law school or something i watch the game you know what i see on t.v. and when i'm back call me you know you. want to promote from us probably you know

show me off on a park so i'll be off in a pocket. no it doesn't get much better but i just finally. on a lighter note is there anything you miss about scotland and home you know they're pretty fried mars bars are they are in peru. roger other people as well. yeah of course of those thoughts on consulship. i think i mean freeman is going to be just not going to see a period show for. support or if. they must in order to freshen shop since before or go much over here and the russian prisoners are great for me thanks so much for your time appreciate it. and stay with the book the england school held a training session on tuesday only to find out that later that their friendly with the netherlands was called off because of the london rides it seems were due to play each other as well the stadium on wednesday the f.a.
