ten thirty am in moscow these iraqi headlines the head of the arab league heading to syria to demand an end to the government's a violent crackdown on protesters there this following the e.u. announcing the new sanctions against the regime but critics say the ban on oil imports serves the interests of european companies rather than those of serious people from spain preparing for a fresh wave of protests ahead of a crucial senate vote on capping the budget deficit a move many fear will lead to social cuts meanwhile european central bank calls for greater financial interest gratian within the eurozone is the only solution to the crisis. and pioneers of rallies against social injustice in israel four decades ago
2:31 am
during recent protests against the same issue members of the black panthers movement say they are frustrated the problems in israel have only gotten worse. turning our attention to libya now where rebels have reportedly reach a deal to enter one of the remaining strongholds of colonel gadhafi without fighting more insight into what's happening in libya in our interview coming up next. you know i'm joined by rosemary hollis the professor of middle east policy studies at city university in london rosemary thanks for speaking to r.t. so how well has the international community handle believing in crisis where you make a distinction between the nato members some of whom are extremely proud of what's been achieved so far in libya and the broader international community who are adjusting to developments in libya and deciding to be on the side of the future
2:32 am
though not every government around the world has yet recognized and accepted the national transitional council as the government so did they do the right thing to begin with i think the u.n. responded to an emergency the arab league made a plea for some sort of intervention to save the citizens of benghazi from massacre but only over the last several months have we all realized the extent to which britain and france in particular nato in general basically entered the war determined to get off the side when there seems to be an assumption that the new government of libya will be automatically and the old or contracts will just be renewed but is that really going to be the case do you think i'm not sure that. it the new libyan government will be pro-west there are three or four signals so far that they're very firmly nationalist for example they said they're not that
2:33 am
extraditing any libyan including apple butter mccarthy who was convicted of the look of the bombing and the americans wanted. he's now close to death and living in tripoli and the national transitional council says that's where he stays the other signals are that they're talking about yes it would be nice to have u.n. help preparing for elections but no we don't want international observers there drawing a line where they think it should be drawn between what's their business and what international help is useful for this is a good thing i think it's essential for the survival of the next new libyan government that they seem to be more libyan than a tool of the west the west realize that i think it and how dangerous is this kind of scramble for influence it's a good question how do western players realize that they are a kind of liability i think only with difficulty do they realize this they assume
2:34 am
that they've got the best interests of not only themselves but libyans to at heart and can be an amicable mutually beneficial understanding reached what yeah they talk about democracy in a way that suggests they can only see the western version the british government certainly has been very keen to stress that this will not be another iraq and they've learned those lessons but do you think that's really the case have they really learned those lessons it seems that every political generation every generation of politicians thinks that they can achieve things that the previous one didn't until they try. they won't say any different so cameron and tacos he took a massive gamble that they could pull something off in libya. i would contrast that with the disaster that was the intervention in iraq and you know have president sarkozy talking as though this is a template for future interventions whoa maybe put the cost in
2:35 am
resources in one power in struggle that is to come i mean there will have to be massive support in humanitarian terms in the near term there will be more fighting it is taking casualties and there's a lot of rebuilding to do and reconciliation between the factions and therefore it's not over and done with in terms of commitment of western. time energy and resources how much potential is there for this to turn into another iraq is that on the right course now of course it's a cliche to say it but you know the comparisons can only be taken so far with iraq libya is a very different place and some calculations have to do with the fact that it seems simpler to intervene in libya it was a small population spread out mostly along the coast with long exposed
2:36 am
roads in between the main towns and cities that presented targets that nato aerial intervention looked capable of exploiting to good effect on the ground . up to say. what we hear about. various people from the m i six type sector but certainly special forces as a as and so on operating on the ground. this is very much. a kind of proxy war which must be extremely exciting and exhilarating at some level to be involved so it's more likely that it seems to me that in that sense the appetite. right for further interventions will exist as opposed to this is the template for. the triumph of humanitarianism over.
2:37 am
warfare or about the national transitional council they've promised that within eighteen months they'll have a new constitution and elections is that possible well the lesson for all the other revolutions in the region soon is here and in egypt is that there's good reasons to delay elections if you think you can organize a sensible coherent and different contrast with competing political parties if you have more time so it rather depends were the people are going to vote as they did in iraq in the initial elections on name recognition or on sectarian loyalties it's in this case possibly in libya on tribal loyalties all rural urban divide. name recognition rather than choosing between different party platforms but an inclusive assembly to devise and choose and approve
2:38 am
a constitution may not be such a bad thing the u.k. government is already sending out is that they've run for a reason but is that a little bit naive given what happened in iraq with a lot of money going missing i think it's essential if you've invested in the national transitional council you certainly have to hand over the money to them you can't then say but we don't trust you to spend it correctly because then you are verging on doing what the americans did in iraq which you're saying we could do we can organize iraq better than the iraqis do you trust them to make a point of doing it i think there's going to be retribution i think there's going to be continued conflict in neighborhoods in. out lying regions of the country i think it's going to take a long time for the libyans to find their way. to a completely different part look at buffy invented was a very peculiar system it was supposed to be democracy for the masses with grassroots assemblies making the decisions it was nothing of the kind it was
2:39 am
a dictatorship and those around the kernel operated out of fear as much as greed trying to suck up to him lots of people were implicated where do you draw the line who was too bad to be forgiven who needs prosecuting and will it be victor's justice or will it be the kind of like none of us justice that is about inclusiveness and building together now the libyans need to work all of that out in the meantime they've got to pay salaries to get the basic tasks of life including policing and the court system operating if during that period they are challenge to sign contracts with international companies and have to make decisions which end up reinforcing the role of the state in the commercial sector in the economy and include
2:40 am
inducements from those companies to secure the contracts against the competition then we're back into the danger zone that this will not be a wholly transparent and one corrupt regime. the jury's out western leaders have stressed to the rebels the need to avoid revenge attacks and the need for tolerance yet they've also said that nato airstrikes will continue for as long as gadhafi is a threat messages well i know from my experience of. conversations with arabs and different parts of the arab world over many years that they never take the statements of the west at face value they always assume as a hit. and they. expect. double standards so on this particular occasion it suits the rebels as well as the nato
2:41 am
powers to fudge the truth about who's on the side of right and who's doing all the killing and what the consequences are but will this lead to revenge attacks already within the rebels rounding up sub-saharan black africans accusing them of being lonesome rates that is appalling and there will be questions for the future of the economy how much i tender and labor do they need even the egyptians who were working for the libyans before the revolution have had rough treatment and have gone home painted us people from east asia who've been in the same bind and you're seeing a version of racism and prejudice coming out against anybody who's black on suspicions that gadhafi recruited mercenaries from sub-saharan africa but. the truth is a mixture of things yes some mercenaries how witting how understanding they were of
2:42 am
what they got involved in one doesn't know but that a lot of innocents are getting caught up in this absolutely but that is the nature of war and so despite what sarkozy and cameron and anybody else may wish to do to dress this up as a glorious rescue of the ordinary people against a vicious nic trade in fact it's war and bad things happen in war. thank you. lucky. the worldwide manhunt for him lasted for fifteen year. one million euro mobile or it was promised for his camp. little minus murder for the west. for many members of the. general of the serbian army.
