12:32 pm
sovereign states. legal right to own obligations or a duty to interfere in other sovereign states is written into the united nations charter this is not a country that threatened britain didn't its neighbors and invaded and. it was going about its own business which is going to revolutionize it was it so you think the original justification of preventing a massacre in benghazi was that not entirely true that i'm sure lost it is with the nasty things happening all over the world. and the excuse that there might have been something nasty about to happen and the justification for invading quickly invading a country and bombing its capital was i think quite extraordinary it's a. noble concept of clearly there were other interests in play in libya there was or will it was close to the mediterranean they were lighter skinned people i mean all the kind of things you get an ally british foreign policy applied here and there was no justification for it except for the theory that there would have been
12:33 pm
a massacre had we not going to indian goes in those old theory motives things like the lucrative oil contracts that are now being fought over there are more important then than say preventing or something not. going to go in wherever there's a possible loss of human life are going to go invading countries all over the world all the time i'm assuming. mixed motives and always interventions and we tend to intervene comes when we think we might we can get more of that if you really think you're doing countries. we have some interest in the state of oil but we tend to intervene where we think i think. laurie to be how it was a case of good rather than. was the case here there are always mixed motives but i think we always need to examine almost it was sort of the simple question are we going to do good rather than harm and this question seemed to have gone through. that was by no means guaranteed in fact of the matter was it was not our country he
12:34 pm
could come to plan then they simply thought they were going to get quick laurie did last a bit longer than they thought but some of the yes well i mean i did they came close to panicking i mean they thought bombers could do the trick bombs could never do the trick they said they would do the trick in baghdad they didn't do the trick in belgrade they didn't bomb was never do the trick after a few months and it clearly not working had they decided to put him in the picture of the ground troops and special forces went all over the place they did what i think probably should on the very beginning which say that we want this one over quickly it would be quickly from going to ground troops as was the case in kosovo. and eventually after six months they didn't. there's no good pretending this was done by the libyans it's not on by western forces britain's role in this as you just mentioned they had special forces on the ground and we even know the full extent of that because it wasn't even legitimate in the first place was it well i mean we wrote the un resolution is concerned we this is entirely are doing we
12:35 pm
decided to do it with all the reasons for doing it but we decided there's going to be a masquerade being girly we decided we needed the resolution written the certain way we came to be going in to protect civilians will be ended up bombing. i mean all the things that we've done and we've done it with the intention of justifying the british french and bringing them over libya. i'm assuming that will make much more over time because all the special forces will start writing their memoirs as they always do the mission creep we're seeing here was it planned do you think or is it just an inevitable unavoidable consequence into. i think it's a very difficult question mission critical. invariably when it happens in a great case because it was in the book is imposed now people say at the beginning we won't let this happen we're only going into eight america terror and relief would have been might be in this case you were only going in to save the lives of the brain god and from what we came to a commissioned officer. would have a pretty unpleasant things a part of. it at the back of everyone's mind really why the army so reluctant is
12:36 pm
the knowledge that mission creep always happens when you can't control the situation on the ground you didn't know what's going on you've got to be prepared for the worst the worst is what usually happens now in this case it was looking a real mess and all the very end and the very end we got special forces surrounding tripoli. didn't just get lucky when they made fourth of using helicopters we would be using british weapons to bash through walls and everything in the air and we did what we probably should go to the beginning which would make sure we were going to lose when david cameron and nicolas sarkozy visit tripoli recently they were given a hero's welcome people cheering chanting their names wanted to shake their hands and he was all good for them it wasn't something they wanted and expected i think just totally ill judged i mean it was clearly a triumph. very soon good from from but it really in the midst of the. you can't pretend it wasn't for him we will strive for you know these are two batters prime
12:37 pm
ministers going to a foreign country we're going to give him good cheer and i thought it was. sort of course so we can as the authority of the of the domestic government who at this particular juncture should've been at least you know allowed to present themselves as being the victim it was. clear this was a british french victory and that's what was it was designed to signal what does that mean now does that give them responsibility they might not be able to meet i think it does i think the british and the french now have a very strong responsibility to make absolutely sure this does not. fail that may well mean sending in troops when you invade a country you called and then say we've done our job we're going to go because people look to you to continue the revolution that you started. i just don't see how we can a grand and if as is at least possible possibly improbable i think it breaks out what about gadhafi david cameron says we washed his hands of the the she saying his
12:38 pm
fate is in the hands of the m.d.c. is that shirking responsibility i am assuming that british and french forces are not trying to get up and certainly i mean i can't you know put in not finishing the job you know we claim just to serve as a no fly zone over the job. i just it just seems to me that if you're going to attack a country in this way you must be to finish it and then you own the country and the really difficult thing is to transfer power from yourself as the powerful authority to the local people and i think we're going to find it very difficult all sort of message does this send out that they're now kind of controlling this in this kind of new colonial way. with the misuse as out is provided you make enough stink in a country then britain and france might come along and help the revolution happen in kosovo after bosnia abundantly clear what happened there what a bunch of gangsters who were running cross over to say you know we're being rescued by the serbs are certainly true come and save us we were injured so you
12:39 pm
have to create a new country we partitioned yugoslavia i mean the message is the west is effectively a mercenary army for any rebel group that cares to make and i was think about it and i just think that's dangerous to world peace how different is this really from iraq afghanistan and previous interventions i mean they say they've learned their lessons as well though the only lesson i draw for many of these is don't do it. they're clearly going to start looking for another one i mean i imagine it. some trouble in syria i don't know what we're going to do with iran as you did not invade iran and that's your argument and it's a huge country iraq with a pretty big country and we found it very difficult afghanistan at least a small but we're getting a bloody nose but. i mean i guess the lesson of libya is it's a really small country might get away with it. applauding themselves this is the model of a successful intervention why is this i thing in syria and yemen and play something
12:40 pm
i think the reason is that the they thought was to be a good idea and it worked. it was easy to do and you could run it from you care isn't based on the brain so it was a doable enterprise you could put in special forces accordingly to go out to meet people they'd sing. i just think it would be it came along at the time i was couldn't realize whether. the family was on one of the very good example when credited to the total forces available i didn't have the nerve to do it with everything but i mean i think these things are completely random and it's difficult to see how you can string a foreign policy based upon these random interventions for nature and what is it to do with nature you know it is an overgrown alliance against the russians and it's i repeat it's like a mercenary force a room in the world looking for things to do completely stuck in afghanistan it may yet get stuck in libya can intervention work that the principle works if it works.
12:41 pm
topple saddam hussein. punish the taliban. works now should they simply hand house and leave me and i just a little look at. syria or. yemen or they're in why libya is not turning your back on oppressive regimes killing civilians where you were you to was your back there in the first place. i don't understand the argument. turning our back on somalia. i mean are we turning our back on to turn our back on the congo congo and somalia for western libya and they want to go screaming wildly attacking congress and some of it i'm afraid just because they're black i don't think people see the movie the very you very racial corporations but for some reason we've got it in for muslim countries at the moment and this is the third one we've invaded. all smooth for the real cause over. the misuse of the world
12:42 pm
is that the west is highly biased and they do they're interested in or it will help you if you look as if you were going to charge and will interfere in north. africa what does this mean now for the arab spring does this intervention reinforce it or undermine it i you know it means for what is the arab spring i mean the arab spring was was was a number of rebellions most of which was suppressed. to north korea which. we did it was going to hear them scream loons. could well be the work of the right a better world through a lot of the talk of the governments would have been for for good or for the world to topple and i just all i knows is more responsibility there is no british empire anymore we are not charged by the electorate or where the world around invading other people's countries we don't like their regimes and it's just normal job

a lot of time to get to the top in tennis those time goes by the champions are getting younger and younger the money in tennis is old of this world in comparison to rugby but i've never regretted my decision possible constantine has been playing for the last decade in france and once played with fellow russian veterans love bradshaw of however over the last couple of years as a member of a massive upgrade team which included one of world rugby his most famous ever players. i was very lucky to end up at the same club as john a lot more i wasn't very lucky that he decided to quit the game or not long after i joined he had a lot of injuries and health problems has now taken up walks in and wants to compete at a professional level but unfortunately i don't think you will ever return to the rugby pitch i know him and he's one of the nicest guys you could ever wish to meet . constantine had been enjoying his first ever world cup up until he received some
