10:03 pm
much understands and in fact we're hearing just recently from the prosecutor general's office that they believe that more enforcers there and leaders are not doing in fish in enough job of dealing with terrorism in africa to provide situations that we've seen over the past year just recently. last week in the heart of the law and again this hasn't been classified as an act of terror but certainly that is going to be looked into and this is this is one of russia's i think it's fair to say top issues the issue of terrorism and terrorism that comes out of the caucuses and we've been seeing a lot of activity lately justin in dagestan itself. european specters are heading for greece to find out if austerity measures are being implemented as quickly as they could be seen that also look for more ways to cut budgets and raise taxes that's ahead of a crucial german word which could see a full force increase to the eurozone rescue fund it could also write off a part of greece's debt sarah ferguson athens forty. all eyes are going to be on

10:06 pm
has said that it's not even a case anymore of whether they want to pay they simply don't have that money the situation here really is a stream week we should point and moving forward now people are going to be looking to decisions like to morrow in berlin to see exactly where the eurozone leaders are going to lead the whether they're going to be taking decisive action that are going to help people out of the situation so moving forward all eyes will certainly be on berlin summer and the outcome of that. and as germany's parliament it weighs out the pros and cons of beefing up the european financial stability professor knockers kerber says the whole idea of bailing out failed economies is corrupt and destructive. eighty five percent of the population. additionally there is the against. and the european court of justice he faces

in calls for recognition of palestinian state in the west bank gaza strip and east jerusalem as its capital so far there is about six security council members on the record that have thrown their support behind the palestinian bid a total of nine out of the fifteen countries need to support the application and there has to be no vetoes none of the veto wielding members of the security council should cast a veto as we know the united states a staunch ally of israel has vowed to veto palestinian bid for u.s. membership if it house to israel's very much opposed to this the us president barack obama said the only way that there can be independent palestinian state is if the palestinians and the israelis get back to the negotiation table and discuss the middle east peace plan that comes to fruition so at this point some critics say the palestinian campaign for

10:14 pm
expansion as a gift for the jewish new year the palestinian authority say that israel clearly with this move is not serious about peace whatsoever and we can imagine that a lot of diplomatic negotiations will continue taking place to make sure that maybe israel will will take its plan on expanding settlements because if those settlements do expand the palestinian president said there will be no kind of business as usual and no direct talks with the israelis and. palestinian envoy to the u.n. commented on israel's plans to expand settlements in east jerusalem saying they simply demonstrate that tel aviv isn't inclined to negotiate a peace. this illegal action by the government the occupying power or of responding to the international community and to the quartet which have been asking them. why they are obligations under international

out it will be in the u.k. and other western nations still very much involved in the new battle conflict one of britain's leading newspaper economists tell that's why some countries feel the need to pick and choose what they distribute humanitarian help. i'm joined by simon jenkins author and journalist who now writes for the guardian
10:22 pm
newspaper simon thanks for speaking to r.t. now you've written extensively criticizing the way the intervention in libya has been handled what was wrong with it was it wrong to begin with of course during the process you're wrong with the way it was handled i just didn't have taken both in the first place. i do not believe that sovereign states have a legal right or an obligation or a duty to interfere in other sovereign states is written into the united nations charter this is not a country that threaten britain didn't threaten any of its neighbors and invaded in a neighbor it was going about his own business because you've got a revolution it was a. lucrative oil contracts that are now being fought over there are more important then the preventing loss of human life well i mean if we're going to go in wherever there's a possible loss of human life we're going to go invading countries all over the world all the time i'm assuming more than assume you go through. i know there are mixed motives in always interventions we tend to intervene in countries where we
10:23 pm
think we might win is not a totally moral attitude we tend to really be interested in countries where we have some interest in this case or we tend to intervene where we think i think. almost quick glory to be had as was the case i think in iraq and clearly was the case here there are always mixed messages but i think we always need to examine our motives and also solve the simple question are we going to do good rather than harm in this case it seems we've done good. that was by no means guaranteed the fact of the matter was it was not our country and the mission creep was seeing he was it planted you think or is it just an inevitable unavoidable consequence of intervention i think it's a very difficult question mission creep. invariably when it happens in a great case was it was in both symbols now people say at the beginning we we won't let this happen we are only going into a humanitarian relief would have been might be in this case who knew going in to save the citizens of benghazi from what was claimed to be
10:24 pm
a huge massacre that would have been a pretty unpleasant think there's no question about that. but at the back of everyone's mark the reason why the army was so reluctant is the knowledge that mission creep always happens you cannot control the situation on the ground you don't know what's going to happen you've got to be prepared for the worst because the worst is what usually happens now in this case it was looking a real mess and all the very end the very end we got special forces surrounding tripoli. didn't just get lucky even though they made fourth of using helicopters. using british weapons to bash through walls and everything in the end we did what we probably should go to the beginning which is make sure we not going to lose what about gadhafi david cameron since we washed his hands of that is she saying his fate is in the hands of the n t c is that shirking responsibility i am assuming that british and french forces are not trying to find gadhafi and certainly i mean i can't see the point of not finishing the job. you know we claim just two subs in
10:25 pm
no fly zone was a joke. i just it just seems to me that if you're going to attack a country in this way you must finish it and then you and 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 how different is this really from iraq afghanistan and previous interventions i mean they say they've learned their lessons have well and the only lesson i draw from any of these is don't do it they haven't learned that lesson the they're clearly going to start looking for another one i mean i imagine there's going to be some trouble in syria i don't know what they're going to do with them in iran is if you do not invade iran in this year out of your mind it's a huge country iraq is a pretty big country and we found that very difficult afghanistan at least a small but we're getting a bloody nose that. 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 not happening in syria and yemen and places i
10:26 pm
think the reason is that they thought it would be a good idea and it worked. it was easy to do you could run it from a few areas and bases in the mediterranean so it was a doable enterprise you could put in special forces quite easily got too many people noticing. i just think it was it came along at the time i was couldn't realise why they didn't do burma when the famine was on not a very good example of where you could have intervened and you had you had total forces available didn't have the nerve to do it and that occasion. i mean i think these things are completely random now it's difficult to see how you orchestrate a foreign policy based upon these random interventions as for nature and what is it to do with nature and nature is the north atlantic alliance against the russians it's i repeat it's like a mercenary force roaming the world looking for things to do completely stuck in afghanistan. on it may yet get stuck in libya can intervention work that the
10:27 pm
principle works if it works. you topple saddam hussein. punish the taliban and topple gadhafi works how should how suddenly you think i just a little look we've left syria or we've. we've left. why libya what does this mean now for the arab spring does this intervention reinforce it or undermine it i did it means for what is the arab spring i mean the arab spring was was was a number of rebellions most of which were suppressed. to now three of which would go away we don't know what's going to mean egypt yet we don't know what spring means. it could well be that morocco and bahrain a better off through not having toppled by governments but having for the government to reform than the one to do topple the government i just don't know all i knows is not my responsibility there is no british empire anymore you know we are not charged by the electorate or by the world to go around invading other people's
