terrorists has already happened in your view of course it is because it's easier for. leaving arsenal want to get them back it's about to record the most of the guns that were looted you know in the niger and i think that's the missing. in the hands of criminals as much as in the hands of terrorists. start off by really getting maybe you don't know you could be sold but at some point the guns they're called before. in the case of libya the concerns that you've got a lot of the rebels were and so fairly recently also regarded as being in the with al qaida in some cases so there are some orders to what they might do with. you know what i was called to account whole carriage of the market which is always a secure interesting with i'm going to go i want to get support for going to pollution of any sort then you turn to the control group some of the individuals within it now prior to the uprising russia was one of the main suppliers of rappers

to libya. but as far as i know it was not the only one and some of the countries that are now waging a campaign a military campaign against colonel gadhafi are also supplying weapons to his regime by openly yes because it's interesting isn't it that if you look at really the moral record of the west against the interest not will for the good we've seen to intervene in. iraq and libya because they've got something we want i don't see anyone having any critic he's articulated in syria and this was what president thought so maybe he's going to think what he wants you know so i think that's where the real politic comes into play but yes there was a decision so you can whatever reason to support it if you know. even though the same country needs to go to the security council and get a resolution which imports imposed and you know later and went a long long way beyond those terms of reference you could argue for

a bombing campaign itself was pushing the envelope so what countries are very actually talking about apart from russia who was supplying weapons to. i think most countries most many countries i mean i know for example a shipment of pistols from bras are unnecessary because they got through molds they made a mistake in the paperwork but it was worth one million euros when you go to play it was nineteen million euros so that was a huge sort of particular i think what they would describe i think is sporting weapons what she wants was you with a pistol but anyway so we know even the italians have been told so you know but you shop so i met a few systems i didn't know whether it was weapons or such and they were sold radar and this kind of thing high tech kits for the regime so yes as for the whole range of supplies from i need all the usual suspects right now all what sort of i want to just talking about and how dangerous that is and your perspective of the program

with the arms trade with water has a we make more guns that are destroyed every year the total number of weapons on the planet is increasing. quote significantly right here i think there are probably something like ten times more guns somebody's going to destroy or go as united nations are going to visions and culprits are trying to get guns in the circulation i buy books by various programs but they're ready for it but everyone still makes films but i will always been struck by how cheap to break them so now one thing i noticed when i was in the lead bit in march and the ghaziabad. sort of become very very fancy i don't for the young and so it's almost like having an i pod for the american teenager and every young person wants to have his own kalashnikov now wondering whether you can really talk about any serious five arms trafficking by me

or have a culture of young people really thinking that having a kalashnikov is really what makes them cool to shoot this is a problem in so there's i was in gold some time ago and. sort of the company you know most of them you know there's a muscle there and saying i'm told it's a good without the gun which in the states the problem certainly for you know i mean one of the problems that are you know we have the child soldiers from over the weekend it's actually. more fun to be a soldier with a gun because you couldn't think what you want whether it's food or the woman you just take it because you go to good or they haven't and it's awfully hard to get these young men out through the decades of war some to come back and to discipline your money so here's the real problem i mean there are international markets and try and establish what you might call a better organization but you know i'm struck by imposing going to i'm stunned there is a conference in europe next year ten years of discussions on the left which will

try and organize an arm strike treaty on one of the problems of the moment is that whatever want to grill you know that almost free trade is a good idea to have some control over the arms trade it's what goes in the treaty which is critical problems there was a famous. time clergyman until something goes through one sort of oh good you can we trust you but not you know it's already going through so you may have what they need to control the whole story but they don't want to put somebody control was a little on their own business now regardless of what you're saying it. would get off track record that either he would support him and nobody have to admit that prior to peace prize england there was a sort of an island of stability and they're relatively good live in africa reaches a pretty turbulent continent. there's everything that is happening there i live with all that a lot of. flying around what sort of implications that could have for being here with us that they really can it has implications certainly for the margaret because

it's least in terms of criminals they tend not to stay within borders so you know you can teach them to organize a bank robbery and junius over and on the basis of weapons you get from that's sort of more than liberty and so i agree with you one of the troubles is that. really where you can have a society with a good business if you have as if it's about human rights with respect to talk a little so therefore we have to have trust. you know police forces there's never enough police for them to control a population by fools so we have to be policed by consent. countries which policed by consent generally speaking have less of gun crime in countries which are involved which i'm up so pleased with it it's also true that when you have a hard regime well same thing happens but you tend to find the majority of gun crime is up and not because. people wants to hold an illegal weapon

but because they don't have any trust and someone else looking up to them and to the police to look out for them and that's where the problem starts so and that's the libyan transitional national council can very quickly i stop wish he trusted. impartial independent police force and that because i mean something to protect me and for me there would be a temptation of people to keep guns with it and take turns or not that means a sensation to use a gun for something which is shouldn't be used what sort of naturist do you think believe going to torch is they only been three it's going to take an audience here to create a. percentage of guns for them the population i mean and maybe buying them out there or offering some sort of surrender campaign trying buy guns but is there anything that says there's no good i mean i've been told and several sort of by boat companies becomes one hundred now destroyed and that's when there's one

occasion i was working i want to browse over them the congo going to. continue as we go in there and i forget the price but we were paying seventy five dollars for this sort of a gun well that was all because of the congo river you can buy all of the books so people were actually bringing guns for the country became a sort of business because a business was sort of the going to get the bouncer so they then tried different ways around this by saying well as a community it's a trial and it was a bit rich if you owe us a weapon sort of the four of us we'll believe you when you will show it or you put station on stuff like that so that seems to work better in some way as i have to say the problem is getting weapons out there so the commission has much more difficult and people tend to think when in kosovo it just felt totally it was a very very expensive company you know it was it was embarrassing you know everyone looked like a look at it like maybe if you can remember it it was easier i'm not sticking guns out of circulation to conclude i mean i should because i'm going to sion is happy it's a bull. run you can have more success and there's no point have you got to go get

me i mean national so many was sort of i mean there's no there's the key to controlling larson's weapons if they can get i mean this from the i'm going to is not going to them now i have another question i'm not sure about or you can't comment on that but if it's just a lot of personal observations. this uprising began back in march it was primarily driven by these young people like teenagers or young men in that twenty's who ran to the frontlines almost for the fun of it but the pictures we're now getting from tripoli show very different sort of troubles there is a. whole seem to be a far more professional than their handling of boris. how did that shift happen i think first of all you know i mean on the ground all the sort of main. sort of watch myself growing old and when you're young you think your immortal i think what is the revolution. let's go to the stage where it looks like being successful with

the ground working for all of the people who are in civilian clothes of the middle age i would guess you know this is a go. we've seen the work of the wind just with you know trying to. find a way to have a question regarding the recent allegations or theories that some countries may be. illegally selling arms to grab a list i know what the french have admitted dropping into. some rebel groups and sort of what we should just on the face of it's a breach of the security council resolution which one could only people. particularly when a permanent member of the security council goes wrong crossing resolution but if you put i think it's a bit about true but you know real the real world is sometimes not so nice place to be and. the british foreign secretary couldn't make it so i'm sure he said the words that britain has no permanent friends when you put them in its interests and i think that's true of every country it's true of russia it is true but it's true

that americans on the fringe so people will look to their interests as they see them at the time because it's a good thing with the recent united nations system is not for me when i worked in it and for it's i'm going to work his way and he's going to spend to the nothing else it is the best system we have and i think it's very unfortunate for the member states of the security council of the need nor the resolutions they voted for us. thank you very much it's a pleasure. i. please keep up. the loop de. loops of.
