until you can a letter which will close with your good to see don't need to go and look foolish to read this and the colonel was her child as used to retreat. and when you talk to news and headlines from around the world this is our to live from moscow quote afterwards russia urges at the un security council to help end of the violence suppression of anti-government protests in syria moscow has called with great music new round of sanctions targeting syria's oil exports and efficiency in the resolving the conflict. in libya rebels and surrounded one of the doctors last remaining stronghold in the city of tripoli with reports of one of the colonel sons being killed in the area meanwhile time runs out for the pro-government loyalists to surrender in body while the lead with opposition leaders saying negotiations have failed. and other top stories of the week hundreds

of thousands of israelis are taking to the streets across the country demanding the government improve the living standards rather than spending money on settlements and the military the protests have been the largest anti-government rallies in the history of the jewish state. moscow's a blaze of color with fireworks and a record breaking laser show as the russian capital celebrates its one hundred sixty fourth birthday and the military has been taking over red square propping up a five day trip to russia and foreign forces north korea because the clock is ticking for colonel gadhafi to surrender to libya's interim government the national transitional council is now by the recognized as the country's legitimate power next the british and very gardner who voted against western intervention here's his 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 he 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 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 its you the issue 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 grief that the united nations had given them and it was wrong it was not 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 and 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 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 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 in the 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 it's where we've overstepped the line there's also now talk of posting peacekeeping forces on the ground in libya i see that something you were. decimated country with no structures 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 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 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 and then. 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 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 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 the nuclear chemical and. biological weapons that we knew he had previously had but he refused to do 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 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 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 would not do anything against him we would have then been precipitated to 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 not the fact that the united nations didn't sanction it in terms of a second resolution does not change the fact that the 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 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 what about what happens afterwards there in both iraq and afghanistan the real violence began after the dictatorships were totaled 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 and 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 prove 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 over 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 stepping in has made the situation worse is it not their naysayers 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 responsibility ourselves governments insists that lessons were learned from what happened in iraq but given the way that this conflict is being conducted it's do you believe that it's always a danger for every government 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 learned from previous experience may not be appropriate in the conflict that you are now fighting and 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. nato and from the libyans themselves will they get a voice in this new democracy road but it's not for nato or for the else to allow that 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 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 than the people of them. article of the people of the united kingdom do you think that ultimately natives it's a faction will cause more trouble in the middle east a region that is after all already the plea unstable so i think the most serious i

think it will it if nato stays there as an occupation force but i don't think that is going to happen and i think the the really troubling conflicts in the middle east at the moment talk with in 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 conversed 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 of the talk or see barry gardner thank you very much.

manages such mega stars as you have getting martin and sergey going char so there's a i think a mini gins 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 a sports agency is pursuing me i didn't come to a gun and let those guys pursue my service he's eventually the company's representatives met with me and i took up the job. we shut off is well aware of the trials and tribulations his clients these 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 variant 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 crace and while managing mild can go in charge and other big names would

be the top entries on presently no agent would want to miss a transcendent album coming talent ready to blossom into a star. as it is that i would say i represent a train 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 at the same time. a 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. cause says he experienced those shady dealings first hand and believes a lack of scoring knowledge is driving his colleagues to underhanded tactics. one agent police simply 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 agent and no other regions can recruit him. however it was shock of claims he knows a few american agents and find ways to cheat players out of their hard earned money so you know i mean if you see this is just 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 xander which can and that xander i don't know of since parents are the ones who often choose their child's agents for the future you should make inquiries about it's a very it's 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 going shark. now keane has an easier time adjusting because going to sharm was already on the team max talbot's and sidney crosby were also our clients playing in pittsburgh at the time while he moved into surtees

house and stayed there for three and a half years so gone sure was like a big brother to have been there for a while he paid the bills help 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 will shut off also clearly have the ability to become greeted by as to their clients while allowing the players to blossom in their respective leaves. yvonne's gorski r t. and that was the latest this fall stay with us for the mania is that it's not our. hungry for the full story we've got it's. the biggest issues get a human voice face to face with the news makers.
