12:06 pm
he says better or worse than it was a nice ago but i think in the last five years in particular we've seen a terrible problem in human rights just as the poorest escalates here it's failed to bring any extra stability so you see many more children being to drive to their rights and many more people being killed and creates an escalation of violence in pakistan as well as in afghanistan because there's another thousand people who've died in indonesia as well so it's not getting better in any way it's hearing much roger clinton was present he was also come forward and address the fact there is ramekins eruption in afghanistan in the process of getting engaged to the people who are really needed but he's playing on the international community she really said where nigeria russia will go is that training and others oversee in selling corruption within the whole of the afghan government and the key thing here is about getting the foreign troops out the people in afghanistan will be found in britain we know here seventy four percent of all people want our troops out and
12:07 pm
that's what we're saying to the government tell a trim son then you can start dealing with all of the problems. callisto even john hillery from the war on one thanks very much thanks to r.c. the process has now moved on after four hours of public speeches by some high profile campaigns including. two thousand people also attended the demonstration the largest antiwar demonstration in the last few years now marching to downing street to take their protests to prime minister david cameron. well our london bureau data on the antiwar protests the suffering in follow the lakers turn our twitter feed underscore cobb recent tweet quotes award winning war correspondent john pilger says war afghanistan was a fraud as was the war in iraq and the attack on libya this latest we've got for you don't forget you can also see our footage of the protests as well as our teams you tube channel. we can leaks founder julian assange who is among the high profile speakers at that antiwar protest and he spoke to him about the military
12:08 pm
interventions and the libya conflict in particular. the lesson for libya is that there are only two superpowers in the world worth speaking why one of those are the united states and europe leads to superpower have gotten together to take over a country the regional justification for a no fly zone over libya has been completely abused it shows that there is no effective rule of law as far as the night in nations is concerned but should also be a lesson to us every time that a small mandate is given. military and intelligence powers. it is a slippery slope that leads to the takeover of countries all understand. the people who rallied in the center of london today demanded an end not only to the afghan war but also to the ongoing intervention in libya their revolutionary forces have launched one of the biggest isolde she had on moammar gadhafi has hometown of sirte the interim government claims they now control most of the city but they're still

facing face resistance from those loyal to the ousted leader despite reports claiming thousands of people have left many more a main meaning there's a high risk of civilian casualties libya's interim leaders say said fall is crucial to formally declaring liberation and shed huling elections but british opposition m.p. jeremy corben told us that in pursuit of they say many are ignoring the high human cost. i think the media wishes it was over because the whole story was to be a nato intervention gadhafi would disappear in libya new government hasn't quite worked out like that i suspect we're in danger of descended into a civil war within the t.n.c. animal so appalled and alarmed other reports i'm hearing from human rights moments is about the attacks on african people by the t.n.c. forces because they're all believed to be mercenaries working for gadhafi these are african people who went to libya to work and get jobs and help the industry continue and survive so i think it is very disturbing it says
12:10 pm
a great deal about the rather stay. dragged into this war by a pretense of a no fly zone in reality a massive bombing campaign i think six thousand sorties appalling maybe more were taken over libya and huge numbers of civilian casualties this was supposed to be protecting civilians in benghazi i shudder to think how many have died in church already. street unrest seems to cover all parts of the globe these days in the u.s. the occupy wall street movement spread to dozens of american cities including the capital washington d.c. but says anti corporate protests in new york into their fourth week the city's mayor recently lashed out at demonstrators saying their actions are hurting the economy protest as whoever insistence the greed of just one percent of the u.s. population that drove the country into financial chaos in the first place despite being branded as an a case by many of those camping out in a well organized and they say they've got a clear agenda as a teaser to see chuck you know discovered. these are entering these are the people

12:15 pm
