a sport for a discount on gas prices but the kremlin claims it's on solid ground in a looming battle saying caves complaints have no legal ground. and hundreds of thousands rally across is really the nation's biggest anti-government protests the demonstrators demanding authorities turn their attention from security to social justice. time's running out for colonel gadhafi to give himself up to interim government now recognized as the country's legitimate power but british m.p. barry gardner believes the u.k. has gone far beyond the u.n. resolution next r.t. talks to labor politician who voted against the intervention. today i'm talking to barry gardner who'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 gardner 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 that 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 queried in the beginning i think most people would agree that it was right to intervene on humanitarian grounds to save the people of gaza that was never the as you see 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 the 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 what we should do is 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 for it's for the rebels david cameron said a few days ago that nato would lend support in libya for as long as the billions protecting what was your reaction to that is that open ended commitment is it sounds. it was very clear in the original u.n. resolution it was very clear for our prime minister spoke in parliament here that there would be no. occupation force that would be totally wrong one of the things troubled me all this 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 on 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 no talk of putting peacekeeping forces on the ground in libya i see that something you oppose but it's estimated country with no structure for 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 effectively to establish a new regime that's that's not what this was originally about it was about humanitarian protection let me be clear i am very pleased to see the back of

gadhafi who is a very evil dictator and the sooner he is in front of the international criminal court the better. and i'm very glad that his days are now at an end i wish the new regime well but i think it's important that they establish their regime that they prove to the international community that they have the capacity not to tear themselves into different factions and to libya as a strong and unified government but that's their responsibility and you supported the invasion of iraq back in two thousand and. three why is this so different so this is very different. the invasion of iraq because. saddam hussein had refused to reveal as he was obliged to under the chapter seven of the united nations resolution whether or not he had got rid of the clear chemical and

biological weapons that we knew he had previously occupied he refused to do that and 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 different agents chemical agents so we didn't know and he was not willing to allow. other countries to come to interview the scientists to see the audit 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 because on the doorstep of iraq simply go away when the resolution four hundred forty one had given iraq given him a final opportunity to comply with its obligations how the world done it then what would have happened if he would have simply rebuilt those programs with impunity knowing that he was absolutely untouchable and the world could not do

anything against him we would have then been precipitated brutal 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 not the fact 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 don't do it and i say look i've told. once already please covered up if you have twelve years of that which is what we had with the temple saying 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 after what about what happened 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 them 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 was insanity absolutely insanity and we must not be in a position of what we've done is created 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 camera stand 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 stepping in has made the situation worse is it not their nature his responsibility to stay and clear up the matter 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 to be 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 we must not pursue not responsibility ourselves governments insists that lessons were learned from what

happened in iraq but 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 then take on to the next but usually 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 faction inside the national transitional council we now know that some of its actions are religious groups who hope to establish an islamic state in libya. what will the attitude to that you think. nato and from the libyans themselves will they get a voice in this new democracy 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 spend 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. the people of the united kingdom do you think that ultimately natives it eventually will cause more trouble in the middle east region after already deeply unstable no i think the most serious i think it will if 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. and that is going to. 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 r.c. god thank you very much. you know the military in ninety six and six because the sings a song other things i was doing in this reason we were given for doing it was

a personal protest. during the vietnam war war movie the murders that alter the course of history. didn't take place on college campuses but if parents of ships penetrated elite military colleges like west point and it spread throughout the battlefields. today few people know about the g.i. bill against the war and. ask the army we always said free the army or fun travel and adventure but it really meant the.

match against the red army while the russians were forced to take a tougher path after losing to latvia at the group stage however it was clear after the first period and three and answered goals that the loss was merely a hiccup on the way to triumph the second period saw the russians ramp up the pressure on energy as that certain substory required luck be called puts another one on the scoreboard though the czechs managed to score after the first break it was nowhere near enough to match russia's three in the second period because there's a second goal of the match and the third period probably gave them a glimpse of hope by the red machine justified its nickname and made the score an unreachable seven to become a month. unbelievable emotions with having had such and such an atmosphere and it sold things to the spectators i also think all my teammates and all of a soft mandas school is great on just having. some of these guys could go on to

play in the kontinental hockey league or the cage shell and some might even make it to russia's national squad for the kind of fan support they experience here in arms would be a weekly affair but for now this unique siberian experience has probably helped them and the rest of the scenes at the surname is builds character and the invaluable family are easy with the big game the junior club world cup organizers are aiming for a legit seat and want this to become a yearly event after all there aren't too many international youth competitions in the world today and it was proved right here norms that the longer it is there. the ferment. i think it all of this is true believe that next year period off with another world cup judging by the attendance at this first ever junior class world cup plus there's been some good visiting teams this tournament has quite a lot of potential it's hard to say who will host the next i think that i think the
