it's six thirty pm in the middle scallop these are the top stories on our t.v. violence hits more cities across the u.k. well in london thousands of police managed to restore calm after three days of disorder the government's social policies are blamed for britain's worst rioting in years. america's financial woes could see its crown of the world's top economists pass to china in less than four years investors are expected to turn more than

usual markets to skate the economic turmoil in the us and europe. was as russian officials turned a blind eye to complaints about pedophiles assaults members of the public launched their own vigilante crimes on sexual predators. but as more civilians reportedly die in nato airstrikes in libya serious questions are being asked over the legality of the alliances intervention or just most of the former editor of the british newspaper the song who says that libya was a good p.r. stunt for the british government and he shares his insights into the conflict next . today i'm talking to kelvin mackenzie former editor of the thug news paper columnist he's spoken out against the military intervention in libya saying that maybe a it's not worth an ounce of personal bloods help mackenzie that's

a very strong position to take i mean the government reckons that strikes prevented a massacre in benghazi easily that's worth a few british problems insulting well first of all we don't know whether there was going to be a massacre bengazi this was the p.r. this was the government push this was cameron's personal space. in the end of the day this is libyans fighting libyans and who are we to say who should be running their country after all when i lost a lot i didn't notice any of the libyans interfere when the cavaliers and the railheads took place and 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 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 frame and you're with that 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 a b.m.w. lips we have al qaeda wondering around. how do we know that at the end of the day they don't end up running a 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 around with bombing the hell out of the place and then there would be a change of regime and that would have been more justifiable than this but libyan

rebels did offer to intervene they also may say it's meant to be injury not that full have a duty to go in and help the maps no we don't want you to do we bowed to a saw aides in a revolution who is trying to grab power to decide what the outcome of that war is going to be and i say we have no duty while we are out there wondering 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 same as we wish you well we're not firing any guns and we're not sending in any planes what now that means you're with the nation that we pull out and leave the libyans to what could essentially be a bloody thing for war is a bloody civil war that's what happens in civil wars it isn't the point the reason that you have the word war involved in civil war is it's 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 international community has irreparably for them that with him he actually stays in power and yeah well first of all i don't care about the international community and secondly that happened but you know they don't like him but there's lots of people they don't like i mean why they. actor 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 have been wiped out why haven't we gone there why that we've gone protect the minority tribe in the zimbabwe there's a lot of injustice in the world there may be 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 what happens to the politicians is that they look around at themselves to look at this their ratings in the polls and they sorry you know i'm not doing very well here the people who vote for me think i'm going to do it they're going to charge me you know that's what i would do but i wonder around north africa i wonder

around the middle east why don't we tell him to saudi arabia where they banned march is the king as announce there will be severe repercussions for demonstrations and in the east i started firing everybody why don't we go into the main why don't we go in everywhere who was 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 of the thought nor the will nor as we learned from iraq where one hundred and eighty of good people died and probably forty billion forty or fifty billion quid went out of our coffers which we could possibly even for that profit was up but it has nothing to do with us things take time and yet we have still going into libya which by your logic has nothing to do that is because we could have been open about gadhafi you know really is we're we're a nation trying to relive the old days of the empire with cameron keep on shelter

where of all the pink bits gone you know strolling around the middle east you know without a sight and without an exit plan we now have to go into these places we have no idea how to get out you pay institutions played a big role in rehabilitating the gadhafi regime not they don't look at and say that will make us a knight been in that label media now that the media has. turned on him again how important is it for legitimizing an intervention like this and indeed regime change will be i think we should divide it up into two points first of all the governments whoever they are when it's been going on there for forty odd years we have been licking good dollface backside now for four decades whether we supply arms to the more we embrace them disgusting things there were. but actually these people go you know the same time politicians move either way so one type of 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 and the role 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 israel and then somebody writes up a sort of silly word 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 power 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 and we're you know wants so we actually have to support our troops we don't have to support ideas like cameron got nothing else to do i'll decide whether we should be wandering around all spittle in the u.k.

or she would wander around the battlefields of of the middle east but we had to act as we were troops so the media gets caught in a difficult position its troops or its readers and all the center of our world. the government they're idiots and the libyan regime of disgusting so the media gets caught in a very difficult area you were the most notorious that it's that of the u.k.'s most notorious tabloids very kind of you to put it why do you make that so that it with tabloid culture is that the that made wars like this easier to sell and popularized by the british public. except the first bit of tourists and i accept that the sun did spectacularly undermine excellent editorship i think though 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

approach up with it if you're a policymaker and all right there will be a lot of aggravation about libya and there are i mean it started off all right we thought we were going to blow blow them all at the water we'd all be home for having having a cup of tea at the ritz bar 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'm personally massively hostile to to the libyan infraction mainly because i saw wired and in iraq these things take peculiar turns which you can't really work out intellectually nor guess. nevertheless. you know i'm very much in favor of our soldiers and so. i but the media was stronger i think you're right about that that the media stronger because of what i'm going to iraq i mean that the trouble was that a million people marched against the iraq war blair blair was not telling his cabinet

and the things are being revealed now because he was scared they were going to leave so basically they were deciding it as though you and i were having a nice chat another glass of soda and it said oh yes it would be what you think given the office he was is a bit of a go urging us good idea it's almost and then they went in right so the million were ignored people say that's the government's various governments not nothing from i think iraq and afghanistan but do you think what in fact what will learn 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 vainglorious prime minister. cameron is now wandering around in the desert of to brook trying to work out or get out he will look in the audio to the end of all this but the but the underlying issue is with libya. there have been no deaths on our side just wait it rally cops are crashed and god forbid we lose ten people all all by the way you use those heat seeking missiles which you can

basically just walk in and according to today's papers. if that happened we side 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 our people has as died where 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 what cameron saw what was in it for him or for a country he's a professor he is unfortunately a professional bleeding hearts and so he's one of those guys who will 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 you plan to send off a really stinking is. on the night before to your boss right don't send that

a mile go to bed wake up in the morning reread it and decide whether it was a good idea or not cameron hasn't got that ability basically i think he's gone mad he's gone mad very early he's only been in power a year now balmy is he going to be the last as long as blair blair was thirty five at the end of it all but i want my suspicion is that the pressure is just remember kelvin mackenzie thank you very much. legal. system.

world of sports from you know neal and i understand there's been a big upset on the tennis courts what happened yeah it's all happening in canada and both the men's game on the women's game the u.s. open final round some of the season is just weeks away on some of the favorites the really shouldn't be losing in the first stage at this stage up on we have much more in the coming up in just a second. great to have your company this is sports to me i mean and we'll play you head over the next ten minutes or so including. hearing up with the latest euro twenty twelve qualifiers kicking off a number of months time russia sealing their strongest eleven for tonight's friendly with serbia. net the last two time defending champion on the murray crushes on account of the mobsters in his opening match against kevin understood.

inability to win for the much of the last year or so i was happy to do on this was a loss for a new game against a guy movie and i was driving that was a very good guy who is to the players who are not normally regulars who did really well. for starters there's a show that they can do which is what. the netherlands meanwhile has been postponed this evening because of the riots in london but plenty other big games they keep an eye out for including brazil is friendly with germany and stockyards this will be the brazilians first match since their shock america departure towns are by in a quarter finals english based you look at david luis myside three suspension and injury respectively in their absence all eyes were being struck me more gallons so both santos appears on both in the sights of europe's top clubs nineteen year old name or seeing the copper this apartment behind this if. it was a very difficult copa america tournament and unfortunately winter was quite early

the last two aspects usually go meet the first one. red booth looked up the russian capital for the second time during to be an extremely attractive man for muscovites with nearly one hundred thousand spectators watching the show one of them deliberately it's the very first time we've taken porridge in the dark where and you know i'm just stunned that there are so many speech either so there is such a lot of enthusiasm winds expected to be so exciting that it's been an awesome experience one is only part of the action here as some followers of looked out have plenty of motivation well for other. it's a way of life that is but we do care about the result if we fail to take first place we will try again next time otherwise we'll just be resting on our laurels. we've met so many beautiful intelligent and interesting people here that's why we're going to take part in flugtag events every single yeah that's for sure. when
