peter's rebel forces have stormed colonel gadhafi compound in tripoli and once again claim to have controlled the city but khadafi loyalists continue their armed resistance was dear leader of bowing fights to the death. and major breakthrough in a holocaust in murder cases a former senior police official is held on suspicion of masterminding the crime metre public chunk of it was also a key witness an investigation of the killing of the prominent russian journalist five years ago. and leader of the world's most close state comes out into the open north korea's kim yani on visits russia for the first time in almost a decade. since the headlines here in r.t. now as the civil war in libya rages many say the country could go the way of egypt

and up with a disillusioned society impatient for reform but some believe it could be much worse artist lauren the talks newspaper editor abdel bari atwan for his views on recent events. i'm talking to abdel bari atwan who's the editor of the london based palm arabic newspaper al could see al arab me he is obviously going to talk to me about libya and he says that's there's a huge potential for libya to turn into another afghanistan i missed out on thank you for talking to r.t. today now explain to me what the facts is are at play comparable between libya and afghanistan. there are a lot of similarities here between their programs and the we need to intervention military intervention it is through this intervention is not actually

sending troops in the ground but the same. in a way or another. change is that me again in both countries so that's why actually i compare the two countries and try to say leave you could and like afghanistan and the other points is you know leave your. state like what happened in afghanistan and nobody can predict what will happen after definitely no doubt from would be removed from power because you cannot actually fight the us and he hasn't got back up abilities but the big question is whether that positional council which is that of presenting that incredible will be able first to contain the huge differences in which divisions and second whether it is capable to run the country and to keep it as a united states that seems like an accident that all the issues. let's talk about

the most specifically first of all where do you think that's what's going to do you think you'll fight to the bitter end their figures are very kind of the spike to many people in the arab world you know describe him as a crazy mad i met him three times in my life. you know. politician whether we like it or not he really it's very well we don't know where he is actually hiding it took the need to under an american fifteen years to find some of the lebanon and kill him i don't know how many months how many weeks how many years you know that it will take them to die for nobody can till we're about he's hiding that he could be in our lives. barracks military barracks and only he could be in sirte where his home would be and in the south where it is there you know where his tribes actually situated so we don't know but they're finished and

he's still alive and definitely used to leave the for his son or his sons actually trying to be in libya to be in itself i think this is a clear indications that there would be incredibly itself and as far as the mood on the ground goes what do you think will happen when and if the rebels catch him will they kill him or they talk big about the international criminal court what do you think will happen it is a huge question is we don't know what will happen if combat is captured we have a very bad experience when a variable actually tried to capture. that unit is the chief of staff or bradley will army you know be compared to. his bodyguards buddies or so so maybe the same thing for him to get their feet we know that there is a you know a sense of revenge spreading on the rebels and legal so. who is going to capture him if he is captured by from actually care about the groups without there

are secure almost no it could be sure that you mentioned gadhafi. say felt is really his favorite son and was the heir apparent how much power do you think he will to the moment he still actually popular among the loyalists of his father average american is father supporter and so he is an important figure he knows how to communicate with the media itself he's still a very prominent player character among the batting in caracas definitely g m so whether he has military power i don't believe so he has some political part but you know i don't believe come back also. i think the most he can actually try to negotiate for a safe exit for his family presence or not is obviously key particularly because up till now the rebels have really been united by

a common hatred of gadhafi how likely now do you think of balance in the transitional council is i think the problem after a bad freepost going there for error could be more actually problematic the problem before compare feel before the removal of very very cheap because there is a huge slip split among baradar rebels themselves factions who are participating in this fight against canberra. there are united by the hate the thought carefully about if. he's killed i think you know now people turn against each other and we know there are some brigades you know who are fighting with the rebels. but the extremist muslim groups they really they wouldn't fight with the secular in the same time even if you talk to them. a secularist or to those actually liberals and they can said that. they're part of the wisdom of conspiracy so maybe those people

will turn against each other but also we knew that you know the majority of the people who are fighting corrupt are muslim extremists or actually. people who believe that they should send a mixtape and so how do you do is that we could deal with those people are about every move of kind of that they are they going to legitimize in concert with them illegitimate illegitimate part but a partner and on the future lead so there are huge question marks here. personally i believe that there will be more problematic than that. dr david cameron has been talking about sending british troops to libya as a peacekeeping force but will that be enough to keep a lid on what is potentially a nation at war if david cameron sent. its. army corps but it's personal under the banner of keeping peace in postscript i fear

this will be seen in libya sort of the arab words as a foreign intervention exactly in fact what happened in afghanistan. and this would complicate the whole situation it could actually make some of those muslim extremists among the rebels to turn against that. and also then i've used nato so now we are fighting their female troops after being finished up actually might. british or french troops would be sent to keep and all that and and post back here as so it could be a huge mistake from from parents and from sarkozy to try to actually send troops doing this takes massive out there now nato and the u.k. specifically is talking about democracy that by the libyan people how realistic do you think that is talking about democracy is very easy option actually practicing

democracy it is a very complicated process democracy cannot actually parachuted with people in the bureau or in iraq or afghanistan democracy is a culture it is a process first you have to start this process and very likely you know over the last forty used never had the you know multi-party system they never had the parliament they never had institutions been quite a consensus or any institution so to start democratic process actually it will take a long time but it is very sweet talks about about democracy and we know that under the banner of democracy in the west and have been going up against the other and we knew what happened for example in august we are going to wear a sort of very tenth anniversary of the invasion and occupation of afghanistan and the west now is how to. true true to the taliban and. ten years ago

they went there to remove taliban from power. to destroy that and first action nowadays you know they are thrown the toll there are talking to taliban and they want to have an honorable exit from afghanistan they lost or they are losing seven billion dollars a month the same thing in iraq you know now iraq is a completely different story with you know the democracy in iraq is very vulnerable democracy do you think the rebels basically sold off the oil greg and they accepted west and military support their finitely the need to bombardment played a major role in the success of the variable to capture most of the cities of leaping to advanced or playfully so. presumably there was a deal struck between the league and it will that need tools and britain and france in particular we know need is not

a charitable organization we know. france they are looking for contracts for oil and they are looking for business in libya is destroyed completely undercut their feeling there is no infrastructure at all so i believe that lead is very lucrative there you know they want to show you how much. is this actually was agreed by the council even the council. of britain france we don't know yet but they finitely that need is looking for a price and believe their future government should be and will be a very heavy price for that is not. a free service you know if there is something behind that. i suspect that nature would like to have military bases there in libya i suspect that you know british and french company is looking for

exploration contracts the presence of nato in libya is looking more and more like an open ended commitment david cameron has said that it's nato forces will stay for as long as civilians need protecting do you think that's a kind of in perilous logic and now you know after they remove all the bridge if this happened and what happened soon why then should complain you know its presence in that part of that you know combat feeling leaves would interact and his government collapses or fall to collapse i believe they should leave that libyan people and only through our military members without any foreign intervention but if cameron said we are going to stay and this is our opinion it's. i don't believe any people or part of any good people will accept a certain periods and i think they would fight to the will but i thought their nikos the way that the iraqi for american troops and their kind what does the

future hold in your opinion for libya and the libyan people i am very worried about the future of libya it doesn't mean that i'm going to be supporting their teaching qaddafi is a brutal dictator no question about that. the future of libya could be could be actually very depressing you know if these division around their necks uprooted and the fighting or infighting among the bad variables themself. i am still you know libya could be divided libya a. state that nobody can predict and nobody predicted for example that after ten years or ok patient afghanistan the american will talk about it nobody predicted that after after actually seven or eight years of. invading and you complying and iraq you know iran would have got up at hands and the american wanted to not generalize or sidelined and nobody would predict that you know where they are but

yemen will have a huge of emotions like this nobody predicted egypt actually will start to have. you know some divisions would be is there a really easy be camp david agreement and nobody can say. libya is you know they are facing a very very ambiguous future and there are a lot of question marks and it depends on. their position of council their future government whether they are going to sit out of transfers see a democracy human rights under the rule of the new. we don't know it is a huge challenge and i hope they can meet. thank you very much.

the spanish league being posed from the top two divisions are still set to strike for a second week in a row the issue is a paid speed is around two hundred plays not being fully paid by their cash strapped clubs and are demanding a wage guarantee from the league and the right to break their contracts if they're not paid for three consecutive months these proposals have been rejected by the league ensuring destruction of the spanish football calendar for the first time in almost three decades. but the news now a russian cycling team to share have got their first win in this year's tour of spain where spanish tried it down your marino winning a grueling mountain stage in fact it was too tough for some riders tour de france green jersey winner mark cavendish here unable to keep up with the pellets and as it crossed the mountains between petra and to your tana and here brand in the race with around forty kilometers of the stage to go no such problems though for marino he caught up with the leaders over the last case and in the end it was a fight between to the line between himself and christensen of saxo bank some guard

but they get to shoot man did enough to win by three seconds and sheva now took the overall lead his red jersey natural sport that has been for thousands of years polo position of playing the sport had been lost into oblivion in russia over a century but it's now being revived with help from the sport's historic powerhouse argentina or with daniel as the story. horses count among the most trusted friends of mankind in wildlife this is why he's one of the most anshan popular sports this game was first played in persia more than two thousand years ago and has only slightly changed since then. it still takes the same skills to score goals with a long handled mount on the field it's twice as big as a football pitch like the most important thing in polo is probably the so-called

chemistry between the man and the horse they should be sympathetic to each other also it's crucial to learn the equitation in childhood although even adult persons who come to the sport late can reach pretty good results in terms of training hard every day back at the turn of the twentieth century was quite a popular sport in russia but after the revolution the tradition was broken it was only brought back to life several years ago and the most coupole club which was established in two thousand and six while exterior dunga is now one of the major centers of the sport it's also hosted the russian open championship which was being held for the sixth time you need a lot of players you need a lot of horses you need a lot of competition as in any sport you need practice practice practice you need to invest invest invest and so for. we're doing what we can but it's all private and it's all based on the enthusiasm of the players themselves and their money. in

terms of price horses are like cars it's not only about how expensive it is it's very important to choose the one that would suit you in this respect you should always take an expert's advice as to the price it will be from eight to ten thousand dollars sale argentina and up to five hundred thousand dollars it's emotions and human resources are always a crucial factor in this respect in russia as a competitive advantage the traversal grow. worse to grandmasters from the sports powerhouse version tina this time around glamorous russian fans of this elite sport have got a unique opportunity to get up close with their known for a short masterclass on the secrets of polo and witness the russian open finals where the tournaments top player i hundred led his team beluga to victory. however there is still a lot to do to make russian pole competitive on the international arena he's alone
