welcome back now here's a recap of the main stories we're covering today on taking water and it flew to shore to just bring libya to the brink of a humanitarian crisis as the opposition again says it will not negotiate with a fugitive colonel gadhafi. more violence is reported in a syria on a government attempts to implement reforms that allows while a solution to the country's longstanding crisis becomes an apple of discord between russia and its western partners. tall beautiful shoals once again to found the blocks efforts in saving the euro the death contagion sweeping the concert and even as they warned of the euro zone's already dismal economic growth

is likely to slow and for. now back to libya in the wake of the rebel success in gaining control of most of the country there's been a lot of debate regarding nato's role in its artie's the war and that has asked a british m.p. who oppose intervention in libya about the role western powers should play in shaping the country's future. today i'm talking to barry gardener he's a labor member of parliament and one of the very few m.p.'s to a very serious against the intervention in libya mr gardiner thanks for talking to r.t. today now we see that the rebels if we can still call them that have practically taken tripoli and it looks like he's lost the fight have you changed your mind about the libyan intervention the point is the legitimacy of it and that's what i create in the beginning and i think most people would agree that it was right to

intervene on humanitarian grounds to save the people of benghazi that was never the its you who was all this whether nato should then become involved as effectively the strikeforce for the rebel course and that's what it's been and that of course was in my view way beyond the brief that the united nations had given and it was wrong it was not that this should have been about regime change a civil war in libya is something for them it's not something for the rest of the world to intervene how do you wish it could have been different then what would you have done if you'd been in charge i think we should have seen the news we should have seen an intervention by the forces that went in to stop that attack on benghazi to neutralize gadhafi and to make sure that he then did not conduct any aggressive sorties as he had previously been doing but not that they should then become the air on the strike force for the rebels david cameron said

a few days ago that nato would lend support in libya for as long as civilians need protecting what was your reaction to that is that open ended commitment as it sounds. it was very clear in the original un resolution it was very clear for our prime minister spoke in parliament here that there would be no. haitian force that would be totally wrong one of the things that in a troubled new york was this ambivalence as to whether there should be troops on the ground and of course that wasn't expressly prohibited by the resolution but but it was something that i think all of us were very concerned about. what we saw as the rebels were going into tripoli the other day certainly the radio programs that were broadcast in the u.k.

we would go left go left go left these instructions being yelled out by what were obviously british soldiers british personnel who were leading that advance group now that i think is where we've overstepped the line there's also now talk of pursing peacekeeping forces on the ground in libya i seen that something you oppose but you know decimated country with no structures or maintaining order now is that not the only way i don't believe it is i don't believe it's right that we should be staying there. to establish a new regime that's not what this was originally about it was about humanitarian protection let me be clear i'm very pleased to see the back of gadhafi this is a very evil dictator and the sooner he is in from the whole the international criminal court the better. and i'm very glad his days are now at their.

i wish for the new regime well but i think it's important that they establish their regime they prove to the international community that they have the capacity not to tear themselves into different factions and to live. as a strong and unified government but that's their responsibility you supported the invasion of iraq back in two thousand and. three why is the difference so it's very different to. the invasion of iraq because. saddam hussein had refused to reveal as from was obliged to under the chapter seven of the united nations resolution whether or not he had got rid of all through the nuclear chemical. biological weapons that he knew he had previously thought he refused to do. even as late as every hans blix was saying we do not know whether he still has

these he listed a whole load of v.x. nerve gas mustard gas the different agents chemical agents so we didn't know and he was. willing to allow. other countries to come to interview the scientists to see the order trails to know whether he got rid of them or not in that situation it would have been ludicrous to have had a million strong army that was on the doorstep of iraq simply go away when the resolution fourteen forty one had given iraq given a final opportunity to comply with its obligations how the world done that then what would've happened is he would have simply rebuilt those programs with impunity knowing that he was absolutely untouchable and the world would not do anything against him we would have then been precipitated into a far more major conflict into the in the middle east between iran and iraq with devastating consequences destruction of the world's oil supplies it was

a terrible situation and it was right that we took the action that we did you know the fact that the united nations didn't sanction it in terms of a second resolution does not change the fact that fortune forty one said it was the final opportunity for him to comply now i'm a parent i have children i know that if i tell my children please come and do the washing up and they can do it and i say look i've told. once already please come before she got up if you have twelve years of that which is what we had with saddam hussein and you then come to the point where you say this is your final chance and he still does not comply then it's important that you take the ultimate sanction of what about what happens afterwards there in both iraq and afghanistan the real violence began after the dictatorships were toppled do you see that happening in libya i think there is a danger of this and what you saw was certainly in iraq was

a complete failure of the occupying powers then to stabilize the situation they let the the iraqi army keep their weapons but they disbanded the army they said you must go back to your villages but you can keep your weapons this is insanity absolutely insanity and we must not be in a position to prove what we've done is creating greater instability in libya that is absolutely clear. but nonetheless equally must avoid is becoming an occupation force i think afghanistan is a very good example russia has a very bitter experience of a. as as does britain of being an occupying power and you start off being a friend of someone and you end up being hated by everyone an occupying force is a very dangerous place to be and you should get out as quickly as you can what's the middle way that some would argue that nato is stepping in has made this

situation worse is it not their nature is responsibility to stay and clear up the math and you pose the question that really is how do you get to where you want to be and of course the answer is well i wouldn't have started from here but you're right we're now in this situation and therefore what we have to do is to ensure that we provide support for stability without our cells being that stabilizing. military force not eat that the new government relies on the military of britain and nato in order to maintain power they must be able to do that on their own we can give advice we can give help to help them stabilize the situation but we must not assume that responsibility ourselves governments insists that lessons were learned for what happened in iraq given the way that this conflict been conducted do you believe that it's always a danger for every government if you and every army to be

fighting the last war. what you do is you learn lessons from one conflict which you then take on to the next but usually what you forget is the context of the situation is different the next time and therefore the lessons that you've learned from the previous experience may not be appropriate in the conflict that you are now fighting and you mentioned the factions inside the national transitional council we now know that some of its factions are religious groups who hope to establish an islamic state in libya how what will the attitude to that be do you think with from nato and from the libyans themselves will they get a voice in this new democracy wrote it's not for nato or for the else to allow but it's for the people of libya to decide what they want to do it's for them to decide their own future. in this country and.

all across the world people have had to learn to live. with the fact that we have different religious views different ethical views nonetheless we have to live together we have to spine some means of sharing a society sharing the country and making it work for all of us i believe the people of libya are no less capable of doing that than the people of them. erica for the people of the united kingdom do you think that ultimately natives attention will cause more trouble in the middle east a region that it's after all already deeply unstable so i think the most serious i think it will it if nato stays there as an occupation force but i don't think that is going to happen i think the really troubling conflicts in the middle east at the moment are within syria i think if you look at bahrain and the way in which saudi arabia went into bahrain to prop up the oligarchy there against the wishes of the people these are the flashpoints in the middle east that still have not there that

is going to happen. once people have scented revolution once they have seen that freedom and a better life is possible i don't think they will go back under the yoke of the bodyguard thank you very much. couldn't take three days for three. three. three stooges three. three volunteers in video for your media projects street medio john darche john tom. nearly a billion people in the world are going to. the united states even our trash

cans are filled with food you just have to go get it all of these perfectly good eggs because one was cracked in even get all over the other ones just thrown away and she's from the german oh here we really like this upper crust. in the dumpster at one am this morning three pm this afternoon on the grill. take a cake is made from and one doesn't mr egg whites. delicious breakfast for the family cakes and toast for about a week every year in america we throw away ninety six billion pounds of food. this nature and discover is abusing.

communicate with the while under. test yourself and become free. and see what nature can give you. i got no no three in the ninety six and six i got no because it's the same as i saw the things i was doing and there's a reason instead we were given for there were none that was a personal protest. during the vietnam war and nature war movement emerged that altered the course of history this movement didn't take place on college campuses but in berets and on ships it had a trade elite military colleges like west point and it spread throughout the battlefields of vietnam gets a day few people know about the g.i. movement against the war in vietnam. ask the army we always said free the army

or fun travel and adventure but it really meant the army. the laws are to water and food ashore just bring libya to the brink of a humanitarian crisis as the opposition again says it will not negotiate with a fugitive colonel gadhafi. more violence is reported in syria and the government attempts to implement reforms about swallow a solution to the conference last outing hearts just becomes an awful of discord if the russia and its western partners and. top e.u. officials once again defend the block south for instance saving the euro from the debt contagion sweeping the concert that even as they warn of the euro zone's already dismal economic growth is likely to slow even further. well now it's time for the latest of the world sports with that's awesome.
