information about who ordered the murder of the prominent a russian journalist. five years ago this follows the true stories arrest of a former key witness in the case a retired senior police official suspected of organized crime. well as the u.s. civil war rages on in libya many say the country could go the way of egypt and up with a dissolution society impatient for reform but some believe it could be much worse . talk to a newspaper editor. for his views on the recent events. i'm talking to abdel bari atwan who's the editor of the london based on the arabic newspaper could be he is obviously going to be about libya and he says that there's a huge potential for libya to turn into another afghanistan missed out on thank you for talking to r.t. today now explain to me what the fact is all play all comparable between libya and

afghanistan. there are a lot of similarities here between. afghanistan and libya we have been need to intervention military intervention it is through this intervention is not actually sending troops on the ground but the same. way or another and try to say libya could like afghanistan the other point is you know libya. could turn to a failed state like what happened in afghanistan nobody can predict what will happen after that we know that we would be removed from power because he cannot actually need police and he hasn't got backup abilities but the big question is whether that position and council which is that are presenting that rebel will be able first to contain their differences divisions in a second whether it is capable to run the country and to keep as

a united states that seems like an accident of the issues. let's talk about the war specifically first of all where do you think gadhafi is at the moment what's he going to do you think you'll fight to the bitter end qaddafi is a very cunning despite to many people and that you know describe him as a crazy mad i met him three times in my life he is you know. politicians whether we like it or not he calculates very well we don't know where he is actually hiding it took the need to american fifteen years to find osama bin laden and kill him i don't know how many months how many weeks how many years you know that it will take them to capture. nobody can kill where about he's hiding that he could be in. about x. minute about x. in paper only he could be in sirte where his hometown he could be in the south

where. it is there you know his tribe's actually situated so we don't know but definitely he is still alive and definitely used to libya to for his son or his sons actually to to be here to be in playfully itself i think this is a clear indication is that if you could be there you could be in politically it's 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 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 he is captured we have a very bad experience when a better bill actually tried to capture. the chief of staff or that he will army you know shoot him dead. and his bodyguards bodies also so maybe the same thing could happen to get their feet we know that there is a you know

a sense of revenge spreading on the rebels and libya so it depends who is going to capture him if he is captured by fanatic. groups that are secure or muslim he could be sure that you mention gadhafi. 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 and his father supporter actually so he is an important figure he knows how to communicate with the media itself he's still a very prominent character among. so whether he has military power i don't believe so he has some political part but you know i don't believe that feeling will survive and i think the most he can actually

to try to negotiate for a safe exit for him and for his family a good death is. presence or not libya is obviously particularly because up till now the rebels have really been united by a common hate deathy how likely now do you think a violent splits in the transitional council is i think the problem after that post got there fair could be more actually problematic than the problem before or before the removal of canberra for the cheap because there is a huge slit split among. themselves and the factions who are participating in this fight. they are united by their hatred toward cut that for you but if that is captured if he is killed i think you know now we will turn against each other and we know that some brigades you know who are fighting with their bills. by the extremist muslim groups and they wouldn't fight with the secular in the same time

even belief used to talk to those secure those or to those actually liberals they consider them. part of the western conspiracy so maybe those people will turn against each other and also we knew that you know the majority of the people who are fighting muslim extremists or actually. people who believe that they should slip mixtape and how they need to is going to deal with those people after remove all of chemical are they going to legitimize them consider them illegitimate illegitimate after but part on the future libya so there are huge question marks here personally i believe the post will be more problematic than that. 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. army. personnel on the banner of keeping peace in post gadhafi era this will be seen in libya and also in the arab words as a foreign intervention exactly like what happened in afghanistan and iraq and this would complicate the whole situation it could actually make some of those muslim extremists among the rebels to turn against the institutional council and also to turn against nato so now we are fighting troops after being finished his job actually they might turn against that british or french troops who will be sent to keep and all that in and post back here are so it could be a huge mistake from from clinton's and from sarkozy to to actually send troops to leave the stakes are massive out there now nato and the u.k.

specifically is talking about democracy 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 to the people in the or in iraq or in afghanistan democracy is our culture it is a huge process first you have to start this process in a country like you know for the last forty two years never had the you know multi-party system they never had the parliament been ever had institutions democratic institutions or any institutions so to start the 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 in afghanistan in iraq look what happened for example in august we are going to celebrate the tenth anniversary of that

invasion and occupation of afghanistan the worst now is our top. to turn up to reinstate taliban in the beginning ten years ago they went there to remove taliban from power. to destroy there and first lecture no it is you know there are thrown the toll there are talking to taliban and they want to have. it 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 and you know that democracy in iraq is very valuable democracy do you think the rebels basically sold off the oil when they accepted western military support there finitely the need to bombardment played a major role in the success of that able to capture most of the cities of leap year and to advance toward tripoli so. presumably there was

a deal struck between that and libyan rebel that need to and britain and france in particular we know need to is not a charitable organization we know that britain and france there are looking for contacts we are looking for we are looking for business in libya libya is destroyed completely undercut there for the team there is no infrastructure at all so i believe that libyan kick is very lucrative you know that they want to share how much. business actually was agreed by the transitional council transitional council they need two countries especially britain france we don't know yet but definitely that me too is looking for a price and the libyan future government should pay and will pay a very heavy price for it is not. a free service no definitely there is

something behind that. i suspect the need to would like to have military bases in libya i suspect that you know british and french company is looking for exploration contracts abdel-bari atwan thank you very much. rolled into the. box m m philosophy. box m m droste. muscle movement efficiency. marksman comfort. monsoon maneuverability motion aviation chiefs into demarks moscow's mode famous here show on technology someday should cheer on a larger we've got the future covered. as

a sport that has been played for thousands of years poli but over the last century it has all but faded out same russia or they're not being revived with help from the sports historic powerhouse argentina but i mean as the story. horses count among the most trusted friends of mankind in wildlife this is why polo is one of the most 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 out on the field that's twice as big as a football pitch. 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 polo 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 cool poll club which was established in two thousand and six by look syria is now one of the major centers for the sport it 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 to 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 for the price it may 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 call in russia as a competitive advantage the traverso brothers to grandmasters from the sports powerhouse argentina these time around glamorous russian fans of this elite sports have got enoch 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 and a hundred let his team beluga to victory. however there is still a lot to do to make question pull competitive on the international arena this is a low now because it's new york is a new sport here and we need a lot of work. and we need. to know what is bordeaux because

a lot of it doesn't know what he is. but i think he's improving. with a publishing deal with this he's possible to become more prepared to play polo has never been only about winning and losing with another member of the winning team russia's top ball practitioner me how you write junker being the best proof of it. the better you treat your horses the better they perform i don't care if i lose or win i just enjoy it it's a team sport and first of all it team here means the horse and the rider and that's the best thing about it. and that idiot which often leaves the fastest way to success. robert but in your own party school region. and that is all we got time for for the moment got the weather coming up next.
