and it appears that from then the progress module sat on top of this soyuz rocket fell back to work and it fell in the altai region of siberia no one was hurt and the rocket itself is in a transport rocket so there was no crew on board either however the rocket was carrying more than two and a half tons of food and fuel supplies to the crew on the international space station the six cosmonauts and astronauts up there at the moment so it'll be it'll remain to be seen what the results of that is and how serious a situation that is made. do keep us posted here. now as the civil war in libya rages many say the country could go the way of egypt and end up with a disillusioned society impatient for reform but some believe it could be much much worse. i'll talk to newspaper editor abdel bari atwan for his views on recent events.
10:32 am
i'm talking to abdel bari atwan who's the editor of the london based pan arabic newspaper al could be he is obviously going to talk to me about libya and he says that 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 factors are at play 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 you know libya. could turn to a failed state like what happened in afghanistan nobody can predict what will happen
10:33 am
after that we know that they would be removed from power because he cannot actually need police and he hasn't got back up abilities but the big question is you know what that position and council which is that are presenting that will be able first to contain their differences divisions in a second whether it is capable to run the country and to keep you leave as a united states that seems like an accident of the issues but let's talk about the more specifically first of all where do you think gadhafi is that maybe 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 i mean i would describe him as a crazy mad i met him three times in my life he is you know i shoot politicians whether we like it or not he calculates very well we don't know where
10:34 am
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 it will take them to get their feet nobody can till where about he's hiding that he could be in. about ex military barracks in paper only he could be. where his hometown he could be in the south where. you know his tribes actually situated so we don't know but definitely he's still alive and definitely used to libya to for his son his sons actually to to be here to be in people itself i think this is a clear indication is that if you could be there it would be incredibly 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 will they they talk big about the international
10:35 am
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. yunus 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 put 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 secret or muslim you could be sure that you mentioned gadhafi. is really his favorite son and was the heir apparent how much power do you think he will it's at the moment 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
10:36 am
itself he's still a very prominent character among. interact 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 at the death is. presence or not it's libya is obviously particularly because up till now the rebels have really been united by a common hatred of how likely now do you think a violent splits in the transitional council is i think the problem after about three posts could be more actually problematic than the problem before or before the removal of canberra for the cheap because there is. a split among the bills
10:37 am
themselves and the factions who are participating. there are united by the hate toward cut that for you but if qaddafi's if he's killed i think you know now it 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 be they wouldn't fight with the secular and the same time even belief used to talk to those secure those or to those actually liberals they considered. part of there was some 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 so how that need to is going to deal with those people after the mobile of chemical are they going to
10:38 am
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 see in libya and also in the arab world 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 ones that shouldn't council and also to turn against nato so now we are fighting troops after being finished his
10:39 am
job actually they might turn against their british or french troops who will be sent to keep and all that in and post get that fear i so it could be a huge mistake from from friends 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 question to the people in the iraq war and afghanistan democracy is a 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
10:40 am
multi-party system 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 democracy and we know that under the banner of democracy in the west and in afghanistan. 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 throwing the poll there are talking to taliban and they want to have an 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 and you know that democracy in iraq is very valuable
10:41 am
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 the pull to capture most of the cities of leap year and to advance toward tripoli so. presumably there was a deal struck between that and lead be unbearable that need to put it in and france in particular we know nato is not a charitable organization we know that britain and france there are looking for contacts they are looking for they are looking for business in the libya is destroyed completely undercut there for the team there is no infrastructure at all so i believe that libyan cake is very lucrative there you know that they want to share how much. business actually was agreed by
10:42 am
the council vision of the council and they need to come that is especially britain france we don't know yet but they're frantically that me 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 companies looking for exploration contracts abdel-bari atwan thank you very much.
