i know what's really happening to the global economy for a no holds barred look at the global financial headline. prime's a report on our dream. today's news in this week's top stories are all seen libya's new leaders trying to bring calm to tripoli after countering the capital but the massive flood of weapons into the streets means to police he could still be a long way off. base you knew that sanctions on syria aimed to put pressure on president assad over his crimes out on protesters doubts over the accuracy of media coverage coming out of the country are raising questions about who's to blame for the blood checks. ukraine it threatens to take russia to cool its push for a discount on gas prices but the kremlin claims it's on solid ground and leaving

battle say here planes have no legal grounds. on hundreds of miles and crosses rather the nation's biggest antigovernment protests the demonstrations. turn their attention from security to say she'll just sticks. time's running out the. opt in libya's interim government now recognizes the country's power. and u.k. has gone far beyond the u.n. resolution. a politician who voted against the intervention. today i'm talking to barry gardener who's a labor member of parliament and one of the very few m.p.'s to a very against the intervention in libya mr gardiner thanks for talking to you 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 created 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 it's you who was all it's 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 grief that the united nations had given and it was wrong it was not 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 have seen 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 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 our prime minister spoke in parliament here that there would. the no occupation force that would be totally wrong one of the things that troubled me all 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 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 and 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 pursing peacekeeping forces on the ground in libya i see and that's something you are 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 effectively to establish the new regime that's 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 gadaffi 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 for 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 live. as a strong unified government that's their responsibility you supported the invasion of iraq. two thousand and three why is this very different it's very different. the invasion of iraq was 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 all of the nuclear chemical and biological weapons that he had

we knew he had previously embarked upon he refused to 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 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 four hundred forty one had given iraq given him a final opportunity to comply with its obligations how the world done that then what would have happened if 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 disruption 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 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 see. look i've told you once already please covered up if you have twelve units of that which is what we had with set up and sane 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 that what about what happens afterwards there in both iraq and afghanistan 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 and 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 where 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 very bitter experience of again this down there 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 nation its responsibility to stay and clear up and that 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 stayed. military force it must not be 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 we must not assume responsibility ourselves governments in fifth that lessons were

learned of what happened in iraq but given the way that this conflict being 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 you forget is that the context of the situation is different the next time and therefore the lessons that you've learned from previous experience may not be appropriate in the conflict that you are now fighting you mentioned the faction inside the national transitional council we now know that some of those factions are religious groups to establish an islamic state in libya what will the attitude to that be do you think from 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 to learn to live. with the fact that we have different religious different ethical values 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. when the people of america all of the people of the united kingdom do you think that ultimately nature his attention will cause more trouble in the middle east a region that is after all already stable so i think the most serious i think it will it if if nato stays there as an occupation force but i don't think that is going to happen and 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 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 truck or see very god no thank you very much. you know the military make you sixty six because this is a other things i was doing in this reason so we were given for doing it was

a personal protest. during the vietnam war the war moved emerged that altered the course of history this movement did take place on college campuses but in paris and on ships penetrated elite military colleges like west point spread throughout the battlefields of vietnam. today few people know about the g.i. movement against the war in vietnam. after the army and we always said free the army or fun travel and adventure but it really meant the.

discover is abusing. the air communicate with the want to. test yourself and become free. see what nature can give you.

today's news and this week's at the top stories that libya's new leaders try to bring calm to tripoli off to capturing the capital of that massive cloud of practice off the streets instability could still be a long way off. moscow's slams may be used in a new as sanctions on syria aim to put pressure on president assad a day his crackdown on protesters that's out save the accuracy of media coverage. coming out of the country are three questions about blame for the bloodshed. ukraine threatens to take russia to cause in its push for a discount on gas prices but the kremlin claims its own stolid ground in the living battle saying here is complaints have no legal grounds. and hundreds of thousands

russian side helping pride in or girl junior club world champions as you thought face the red army steamrolling all over czech side energy for a man cost reflects the action on fuld inciting area. even if some fans were disappointed by the fact that it wasn't canada plane the russians in the final the feelings at that rated as if and sassy atmosphere at the soul that arena charged up the red army from the opening minutes of the match their czech opponents from carl of the bar eight were the only and b.'s and c's and this certain is going into the final 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 sentiment stops for mikaela lucky call put 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 the visitors second goal of the match in the third period probably gave them a glimpse of hope but the red machine justified its nickname and made the score an unreachable seven to now come in what we have unbelievable emotions we have and it's such an adventure atmosphere that it sold things to the spectators also think oh my teammates and all the soft man because school is great i'm just happy. some of these guys could go on to play in the continental 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 this tournament builds character and invaluable than they are easy with the big game the junior club world cup organizers are
