this is our secret a lot from the russian capital top stories this hour at half past the hour rush hour is rallying u.n. security council members to demand an end to the violence in syria and prevent the uprising descending into another libyan scenario he's investigating who is really behind the bloodshed and how much is really high. the libyan rebels are poised across the last pockets of resistance from kind of gadhafi supporters with time running out for the loyalists to lay down arms. ukraine is turning up the heat on his gas route with moscow to modeling the previously agreed price is a cart refusing to make any concessions russia maintains that current contracts

complies with international response and can be revised unilaterally. and a massive possibly record breaking the laser show who is concluding what turned out to be moscow's most expensive birthday party and we hope to bring you live pictures on that laser show in just a moment but first we're going live to red square where we are now seeing coverage of the four words which are culminating in the four or five days of the military talk to you that has been taking place in red square and this is the final show tonight. international armies of the guards with their masks families and performers putting on a spectacular show that in red square it's an annual event and this is it the finale of the grand finale and we can see the spectacular fireworks now going off about some puzzles cathedral which is overlooking the red square and the kremlin just. right. those fireworks taking place marking the end of the military tattoo

but at the same time it was due to be a massive laser show taking place in the south west of the capital so celebrations all over the capital at the moment and we hope to bring you pictures of the laser display in a moment but as you can see at the moment we're seeing the end of the military to actually taking place there in square. right. well unfortunately we're not able to cross live to the southwest of the capital to bring you the laser display just yet but hopefully we'll be able to do that a little later. in the meantime the clock is ticking for colonel gadhafi to surrender to libya's interim government the national transitional council is now widely recognized as the country's legitimate power next british m.p. barry gardner who voted against western intervention gives us an insight into the

conflict. 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 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 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 gaza that was never the assume it was all whether nato should then become involved as effectively the strike force for the rebel cause 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

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 that 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 straight forward 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 our prime minister spoke in parliament here that there

would be no. occupation force that would be totally wrong one of the things in trouble 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 now talk of posting peacekeeping forces on the ground in libya i see something you are

but it 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 tristan the new regime that's not what this was originally but it was about humanitarian protection now let me be clear i'm very pleased to see the back of gadhafi from this 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 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 libya 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 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. chemical and biological weapons that he knew he had previously. he refused to do that even as late as february 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 that 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 his obligations and the world done that then what would have 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 neutral far more major conflict into 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 and the fact that the united nations didn't sanction it 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 well 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 cover up if you have twelve years of that which is what we had with set up a 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 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 war certainly in iraq was a complete failure of the occupying powers then to stabilize the situation and they let the iraqi army keep their weapons but they disbanded the army and 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 little 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 a second hand has made the situation worse is it not their nation has responsibility to stay and clear up 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 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 where we must not assume that responsibility ourselves governments in fifty facts lessons were learned from what happened in iraq but given the way that this conflict been conducted do you believe that. all the 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 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 factions inside the national transitional council we now know that some of those factions are religious groups who hope to establish an islamic state in libya how will the attitude to that b.d. think grace from nato and from the libyans themselves will they get a voice in this new democracy road it's not for nato or for the else to allow it 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 views different ethical views and nonetheless we have to live together we have to spine some means of sharing a society sharing a country and making it work for all of us i believe the people of libya are no

less capable of doing that and the people of them. for the people of the united kingdom do you think that ultimately natives intervention will cause more trouble in the middle east a region that is after all 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 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 burst asunder 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 on the yoke. very god thank you very much.

psyllium spaniards were also winners in the rest of the can't resolve the day the runs so hot stone is a constant thirty five races still to go in twenty eleven both of these next stop is that fair of course. and finally the most high profile professional athletes usually have a skilful agent to say for their exposure and big money deals the ice hockey agent association vice president in the court has been shedding some light on his profession it was a gorski explains. huge contracts global grand indorsements and thousands of screaming fans the ice hockey all stars of the world really do have it all but despite being 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 do not shut off never expected to become a sports agent but now he's become one of russia's trailblazers in the business he manages such mega stars as you have getting moloch in and so you go and charge so

so i became an agent by accident i lost my job in one thousand nine hundred struggling to make ends meet a friend of mine called me one day and said he got word from the new york rangers that a sports agency is pursuing me i can jump the gun and let those guys pursue my services eventually the company's representatives met with me and i took up the car. oh shut off as well aware of the trials and tribulations his clients these daily he himself had a twenty three year playing career in cold spark at moscow after that. i bought some colleagues who never played and they think a hockey background is not necessary to do their job and i tend to disagree as one must be able to evaluate an athlete's current level of performance and his potential that's what ultimately determines a player's price and while managing molecule going sharp and other big names would be the top entries on the shock of resume no asian would want to miss a transcendent up and coming talent ready to blossom into

a star your push and it was as if it was that i would say i represent between forty to fifty players in total including those born in one thousand nine hundred four and one thousand nine hundred five and try to keep in touch with all my clients and go to their matches if possible obviously there's a conflict of interest frequently because i can't attend all my players games at the same time. the competitive big money business can bring out the worst and so major it's with sound going as far as to steal the diamond in the rough that others have found which of course says he experienced those shade dealings firsthand and believe the lack of sporting knowledge is driving his colleagues to underhanded tactics. one agent blatantly told me he would take players from me once his current crop of stars retire this practice is widespread in russia while the united states for instance has a code of conduct which limits such action if an athlete is already represented by one inch and no other agent can recruit him however it will shock of claims he

knows a few american agents who find ways to cheat players out of their hard earned money so they made it useless if this is i've never heard of regions taking money from players in russia but it's happened in the states before i knew that hundred kostitsyn was a victim of such a scam and they also tried to trick alexander ovechkin. alexander i do love it since parents are the ones who often choose their child's agents from the future he should make inquiries about it every agent of the players themselves though are much tighter need group and help each other out when the going gets tough molecule among those benefiting from the smooth n.h.l. transition by teaming up with gone shark. malkin had an easier time adjusting because going charm was already on the team max talbot's and sidney crosby were also our clients playing in the pits or at the time he moved into surgeries how use and stayed there for three and a half years so going to shore was like complete brother to any for

a while he paid the bills helped him set up a bank account among other things. senior favorite athlete on the list of the richest people in their sport the cover of a new magazine or endorsing a chronic is the result of a good agent's work but those men like shark off also clearly have the ability to become great advisors to their clients while allowing the players to blossom in their respective leaves. and answer gorski r.t. . now that was the latest this fall stay with us for the news at the top of the hour.
