now as the civil war in libya rages 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 artist laura emma talks to newspaper editor abdel bari i want for his views on recent events. i'm talking to abdel bari atwan who's the editor of the london based 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 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. in a way or another and try to say libya could and 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 if we would be removed from power because he cannot actually fight need tools and he hasn't got back up abilities but the big question is you know whether that transitional council which is that of presenting that liberal will be able first to contain the differences huge divisions in a second whether it is capable to run the country and to keep. as a united state that seems like an excellent overview of the issues in libya 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 in their words 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 under 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 or he could be in a lousy about ex military barracks in tripoli 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 in the to be in playfully itself

i think this is a clear indications that there could be there could be in people itself and as far as the mood on the ground goes what do you think well happen when and if the rebels catch him will they kill him will they they talk big about the international criminal court what do you think will happen it is a huge questions we don't know what will happen if there is capture we have a very bad experience when a better bill actually tried to capture. yunus the chief of staff of that evil army you know they shot him dead and they burnt his body and his body guards bodies so maybe the same thing could happen to get their feet we know that there is a you know a sense of revenge spreading that rebels and libya so it depends who is going to capture him if he is captured by fanatic. groups or that there are secret or muslim he could be sure that you mention. safe all islam 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 loyalist of his father and his father supporter actually so he is an important figure he knows how to communicate to it would be meet with the media itself he's still a very prominent character among khadafi interact so whether he has military power i don't believe so he has some political power but you know i don't believe that feeling will survive in them 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 in libya 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

a violent splits in the transitional council is i think the problem after that free post got there fair could be more actually problematic than the problem before before the removal of can very cheap because there is a huge slit split among the rebels themselves and the factions who are participating in this fight. there are united by their hatred toward cut that feed but if that is captured if he's killed i think you know now they will turn against each other and we know that some brigades you know who are fighting with their bills. buddy extremist muslim groups and they 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 and 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 you know people who believe that they should slip mixtape and so how that the two is going to deal with those people after about 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 gadhafi era would be more proper than that of that figure david cameron's 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. bits. army. personnel on the banner of keeping peace in post but i fear this will be seen 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 transitional council and also to turn against nato so now when they are fighting gadhafi troops after a big finish this job actually they might turn against that but it is or french troops who will be sent to keep law and all that in and post gadhafi era so it could be a huge mistake from from koreans and from sarkozy to to to actually send troops to leave the stakes are massive out there now nato and the u.k. specifically is talking about democracy that's owned 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 a culture it is a huge process first you have to start this process in a country like libya you know for the last forty two years never had a multi-party system they never had the parliament they never 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 the west intervened in afghanistan. iraq look what happened for example in august we are going to celebrate that tenth anniversary of that invasion and occupation of afghanistan the worst now is our top. true to reinstate taliban in power in the beginning ten years ago they went there to remove taliban from power. to destroy there and first lecture nowadays you know there are throwing

the toll on there are talking to taliban and they want to have a honorable exit from afghanistan and 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 there is you know the democracy in iraq is very valuable democracy do you think the rebels basically sold off the oil when they accepted western military support their finitely their need to bombardment played a major role in the success of their people 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 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 libya is destroyed completely undercut there for the team there is no infrastructure at all so i believe that libyan cake is very lucrative you know that they want to share how much. business actually was agreed to by the transitional council even transitional council they need two countries especially britain france we don't know yet but definitely that need to is looking for a price and the libyan future government should pay and will pay a very heavy price for nato as it is not. thirty seven no definitely there is something behind that. i suspect that nato would like to have military bases and. i suspect that you know british and french companies looking for exploration contacts

after launch emergency crews are being hampered by adverse weather in their search for the unmanned russian space freier which crashed on wednesday the soyuz rocket was ferrying food and fuel to the international space station when it fell back to earth. rebels in libya promise a bounty of two million dollars for colonel gadhafi dead or alive and that's as western nations waste no time in jostling for a slice of the country's oil under the new government. and the u.s. and e.u. are pushing for more sanctions against syria after the crackdown there advance protesters meanwhile journalists on the ground say there is a lack of objective coverage coming out of the country. so they had lines here on our t.v. up next we've got a way to sports new problems and more we can look forward to seeing another big name football apply a strayed in russia some let's say will be arriving in the country today off the

finally signing for angie from into milan i warm up plus a halt breaking night photo and the champions like. hello there you're watching the sport and they use other headlines european brain shattered rubin failed to make the group stages of the champions league after conceding a last minute goal to. plus superstar starring samuel as he completes his move into russian side in summer and. russian side trying to get to ensure ties to another victory at the tour of spain is joking one of brigands claims. the first rubin will not be in today's draw for the group stages of the champions league they drew play on one one in the second leg of their pay off to go out for two when i get but troubled arsenal were among the teams that did make

a laugh believe the first leg three one rubin needed a single win better to go through and a goal from the top gave rubin home to ten minutes there but as they search for a second they were called in the counter not great kong equalising to give the on off to aggregate wins elsewhere then think it through after beating twenty three one czech side victoria paralysing to make the last thirty two of the expense of f.c. copenhagen about ourselves also there along with arsenal who despite selling some imaginary and says average gas beat it in a z two one in the slate and three one on aggregate. we are. offering to complete your group the challenge of the challenge. and still i'm very happy you've reached the goals you contribute to the ground composure in the second half when you don't. you. could keep trying to play the ball you want to play you. because you're comfortable

a one one draw however the polish side are probably not going to stick around in defense and will want to charge the red and whites goal continuously while another two two draw seems unlikely in this return leg only one goal could send either team on to the group stages of the europa league this would probably be the toughest much since i began coaching leggy a year ago but we're not afraid and came to moscow full of desire to fight and we're hoping to win we had a few chances in mosul and i hope we'll have enough of them here to lead gaze coming off a two one home defeat in a match where it was considered a hot favorite in the latest round in the polish league that could mean several things including the fact that the team finds it hard to cope with two matches a week well it's either that or leg it was conserving energy as head of the europa league play off against spartak moscow because i don't think lego lost that match because their team as we couldn't get a particular opponent a match against them in poland was very emotional and took away

a lot of their energy the polls admitted that match against spartak was their best performance in the recent years. well sports drew in their last away match in the russian premier league against their namesakes from niger where it seems that sport socks performance doesn't fall into certain pattern after all before their two two draw in the first leg against the red and whites thrashed one of russia's most promising sides and scoreline off three nil in addition to sparred socks away goals and this the red and why it's also have a home advantage on this leg it's highly unlikely that the eighty thousand seat luzhniki stadium will be filled to capacity however the fans of this most decorated russian club are known for their great support in any number. of artsy moscow. now another football use cameron an intimate. has finally signed
