8:31 am
russia maintains the college charging applies the bands around all crime it's called be revised you know not show me. the talks ticking for gadhafi to surrender to libya's interim government the national transitional council is now widely recognized as the country's legitimate power next a british m.p. who voted against western intervention is his insight into the conflicts. 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 to gain 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 that exactly 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
8:32 am
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 assume it was all square there in may two should then become involved as effectively the strike force 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 well 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 what we should have seen is we should have seen an intervention by the forces that went in to stop that attack on benghazi. 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
8:33 am
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 is 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. occupation force that would be totally wrong and one of the things that 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
8:34 am
certainly on the radio programs that were broadcast in the u.k. we. 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 it's where we've overstepped the line there's also now talk of coercing peacekeeping forces on the ground in libya i seen that something you oppose but it decimated country with no structure for maintaining order and 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'm very pleased to see the back of. a very evil dictator the sooner he is in front of the international criminal court the
8:35 am
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 they prove to the international community that they have the capacity not to tear themselves into different factions and to be here 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 there a difference so that's very different to the invasion of iraq because. saddam hussein had refused to reveal as he was obliged to underachieve percent of the united nations resolution whether or not he had got rid of the nuclear chemical and biological weapons that he knew he had previously about he refused to do and even the slaters february hans blix was saying we do not know
8:36 am
whether he still has these he listed a whole load of v.x. nerve gas and 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 but was on the doorstep of iraq simply go away when the resolution fourteen forty one had given iran given him a final opportunity to comply with its obligations and the world beyond 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 it we would have then been precipitated ritual far more major conflict into the middle east between iran and iraq with devastating consequences destruction of
8:37 am
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 the in terms of a second resolution does not change the fact that fourteen 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 said look i've told. once already please covered 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 after that 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
8:38 am
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 systems 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 we equally must avoid is becoming an occupation force i think afghanistan is a very good example russia has very little experience of a campus down there 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
8:39 am
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 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 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 that responsibility ourselves governments in fifth that lessons were learned from what happened in iraq given the way that this conflict being conducted do you believe that it's always
8:40 am
a danger for every government in my view and every army to be fighting the last war. what you do is you learn lessons from one conflict 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 the previous experience may not be appropriate in the conflict that you are now fighting and you mentioned a faction 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 what will the attitude to that you think free 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
8:41 am
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 and 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. of the people of the united kingdom do you think that ultimately natives attention will cause more trouble in the middle east a region that is after all already the play on state so i think the most serious i think it will if it 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
8:42 am
the people these are the flashpoints in the middle east that still have not the thunder 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 posse gardner thank you very much. you know the military ninety sixty six because it's the same say things i was doing in this reason he said we were given for doing and it was a personal protest. during the vietnam war emerged that altered the course of history this did take place on college campuses but in berets and ships it had

thing and finally the most high profile professional athletes usually have a skilful agent to thank for the exposure and big money deals icehockey agent association vice president can i do cycle has been shedding some light on his profession or gorski explains. huge contracts global brand indorsement and thousands of screaming fans ice hockey all stars of the world really do have it all but describing phenomenally talented individuals they would have a hard time making such an impact on the biggest stage without someone pulling the strings behind the scenes the now the never expected to become a sports agent but now you call one of russia's trailblazers in the business and that is just such a mega stars as you get a market surrogate going charge so there's also a chain that i became an agent's by accident i lost my job in one thousand nine

hundred ninety and mr going to meet hands meet a friend of mine called me one day and said if you don't work from the new york rangers there's a sports agency is pursuing me but i didn't jump the gun and let those guys pursue my service he's going to actually the company's representatives mates with me and i took up the car most of the very sharp office is well aware of the trials and tribulations finds. itself in a twenty three year playing career in cold spartak moscow after that game that we have so i've got some colleagues who never played and they think of hockey bacary and other as not necessary to do their job that i tend to disagree there is one must be able to evaluate enough its current level of performance and his detention as was ultimately determines if players price and while managing molecules going charge and other big money would be the top end usually shut off resumes no agent would want to miss a transcendent up and coming talent living with a loss and was a star that you're pushing and i was has a business that i would say i represent between forty to fifty players in total are

8:56 am
a few american agents who find ways to cheat players out of their hard earned money assuming the case is that if this is where it is just i've never heard of asians taking money from players in russia as it's happened in the states before i know the two hundred kostitsyn was a victim of such a scam and they also tried to trick alexander ovechkin and alexander i don't know about that since parents are the ones who often choose their child's age and for the future that is if you should make inquiries about it's a very agents of the players themselves though are much tighter need to help each other out when the going gets tough molecule among those benefiting from the smooth n.h.l. transition by teaming up with one shot holding the will of the pros here malkin has an easier time adjusting because going charm was already on the team max talbot's consider me prosecutor also our finest playing in the pits article titled how he moved into surgeries how use and stayed there for three and a couple years so gone short was like complete brother to you in the for a while he paid the bills some sensible bank accounts among other things the result
