for five days of the military tattoo that it's been taking place in red square this is the final show tonight. international armies have gathered for their mass. performers putting on a spectacular show in red square it's an annual event and this is it the finale of a grand finale and we can see the spectacular fireworks now going off the. cathedral which is overlooking the red square and the kremlin just. right so. those fireworks taking place marking the end of the military tattoo but at the same time. 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 later display in a moment but as you can see at the moment we're seeing the end of the military to taking place there in the square.

one 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 lads have practically taken tripoli and that gaddafi 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 created 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 issue the issue was all whether nato should then become involved as effectively the strikeforce for the rebel corps 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 the 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 to neutralize gadhafi and to make sure that he did 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 as it sounds. it was very clear in the original un resolution it was very clear when our prime minister spoke in parliament here that there would be 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 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 it's where we've overstepped the line there's also now talk of pursing peacekeeping forces on the ground in libya i've seen that something you oppose but you know decimated country with no structures 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 the new regime 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 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 they prove to the international community that they have the capacity not to tear themselves into different factions and to libya as a strong 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 nuclear chemical. biological weapons that we knew he had previously about 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 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 now and the fact that the united nations didn't sanction it in terms of a second resolution does not change the fact that forty and 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 come 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 a danger of this and what you saw certainly in iraq was a complete failure of the occupying powers to vent 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 was 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 we equally must avoid is becoming an occupation force i think afghanistan is a very good example russia has a very bitter experience of afghanistan 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 stepping in has made the situation worse is it not there nato has responsibility to stay and clear up the matter you pose the question that really is how do you get to where you want to do 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 but we must not assume responsibility ourselves governments in fifth 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 to my view 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 learnt from the 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 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 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. the people of the united kingdom do you think that ultimately nature is intervention will cause more trouble in the middle east region after already deeply unstable so i think the most serious i think it will if 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 versed 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 under the yoke. bury god and thank you very much. wealthy british style.

the first players to represent their country and the third biggest sporting event in the world which. moto g.p. now and jorge lorenzo has won the san marino grand prix to staying in tashan for they see as title case is still not however retains the overall a despite finishing third lower and so on his blue yamaha past the pole sedan seasonally down first and then held on to win ahead of compact with a good draw would be still night until set place you can result track so we want to finish for spain in the chilean spaniards were also winners in the rest of the canterbury's on the day of the round still not stone as a vantage points were five races still to go in twenty eleven most g.p.'s next stop is at the aero corner. and finally the most high profile professional athletes usually have a skilful agent to thank for their exposure and big money deals the icehockey agent association vice president gore has been shedding some light on his profession it

was a gore ski explains. huge contracts global brand 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 you know the ocean of course 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 gainey moloch in and sergey go in charge. of jamie i became an agent by accident i lost my job in one thousand nine hundred nine and was struggling to make ends meet a friend of mine called me one day and said he got word from the new york rangers that's a sports agency is pursuing me i didn't jump the gun and let those guys pursue my service he's eventually the company's representatives met with me and i took up the job. shut off is well aware of the trials and tribulations his clients face daily

he himself had a twenty three year playing career and called spartak moscow after that. i've got some colleagues who never played and they think a hockey background is not necessary to do their job 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 moloch in gone char and other big names would be the top entries on resume no agent would want to miss a transcendent up and coming talent ready to blossom into a star you have bush and i was as 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 i 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 and the same time. the competitive big money business can bring out the worst in some

agents would sound going as far as to steal the diamond in the rough that others that found it was shut off says he experienced those shady dealings first hand and believes a 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 will limit such action if an athlete is already represented by one inch and no other agents can recruit him however it was shock of claims he knows a few american agents who find ways to cheat players out of their hard earned money and i mean that he sees that this is i've never heard of agents taking money from players in russia but it's happened in the states before i knew that andre kostitsyn was a victim of such a scam and they also tried to trick our exams are a bitch can i. alexander. since parents are the ones who often choose their child's

agents for the future he should make inquiries about it every agent 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 char. malkin has an easier time adjusting because gone charm was already on the team max talbot's and sidney crosby were also our clients playing in pittsburgh at the time he moved into stargaze how use and stayed there for three and a half years so gone char was like a big brother to have been there for a while he paid the bills helped him set up a bank account among other things. seeing your favorite athlete on the list of the richest people in their sport the cover of a new magazine or endorsing a product is the result of a good agent's work but those men like cough also clearly have the ability to become great advisors to their clients while allowing the players to blossom in their respective leaves. yvonne's gorski r.t.
