what a party and a former shadow minister for homeland security's been a frequent commentator on defense and security issues patrick thanks for speaking to r.t. now even very outspoken on the human rights act on how essentially is allowing foreign criminals to stay in the u.k. on the grounds of human rights what does that say about britain i think it says a britain has surrendered far too many powers to the european union. is interpretating the the rules and regulations and the strict strictures of europe in a much more proper but in this way in this case on helped the most of the members of the the loopholes the foreign criminals can exploit to stay in the u.k. is that making britain a target do you think i think if you look at foreign nations attitudes towards the united kingdom particularly issues like terrorism for instance. london widely called in french circles. for the ease with which jihadists etc can live indeed in place in particular in london and

also in britain i think it's worth also remembering that forty percent of america's external intelligence. are directed at the united kingdom. not because clearly because of the actions of of a majesty's government but because of actions of his loyalists fundamentalists et cetera inside this kingdom directed at the us now if we have that if that is the case of this is just the way that we are regarded it was seen as being a soft touch for insurgents for for contents or ones all over yeah i mean i just that is terribly unhelpful to this country surely that's a concern with the olympics coming up you could argue it two ways of course you can say will the reserve and these people here they don't want to spoil a good thing. right of course it's going to be targeted and she's labelled as the little satan on the islamist web sites and all those sorts of charming. places i

read so much of so much of. britain's a target she's been attacked before her soldiers sailors and are under every day attack in places like afghanistan pakistan. of course we remain a. very high on the terrorist list of priorities so how does the government get out of the situation now and obviously human rights have to be respected but of course where do they draw the line i think is very important that human rights of course have to be respected and that's one of the reasons why our service for them within dying abroad at the moment to make sure that that nations that don't respect human rights or break upon the rephrase that are not nations but the causes that don't respect human rights or that we fight against that sort of narrow mindedness human rights are crucially important but there's a difference between the human rights of those who would endeavor to kill british citizens and the human rights of british citizens what greater human rights is in the right to life he or she who would try to take your life away from you must be

dealt with realistically and must be dealt with sensibly we must bear a gate from the front from from the strictures of the human rights act and we must replace it with a bill of rights as the current prime minister promised before the last election is the case of the government being hamstrung by europe or is this too weak to stand up to the e. i think things have not been made any simpler by the fact that we don't have a conservative government per se that we have a coalition albeit a conservative led coalition but a coalition the liberal democrats of course have set their face against any with the human rights act and therefore individuals like myself who. campaigned on the fact that we would have a british rule a bill of rights i fear are going to be frustrated for some considerable time how damaging are the directives from europe and he recently just had another with the ease printing to see the he doesn't relax is welfare system for migrants well i mean you're a skeptic so i. afraid you're not going to get any any warm words of praise for me

about the european union it is damaging to the united kingdom we are a sovereign nation sometimes one wonders how sovereignty we still show was european laws strictures are placed upon us we do need to have a referendum on our continued presence inside the inside the european union other of our entire presence or the terms of which we find ourselves now again this was part of the conservative modesto before the last election given what's happening in the moment in the euro zone crisis the financial crisis is do you think this is the death knell has his has sounded for full even the concept of europe well i think the concept of europe for concept of europe is constantly evolving and constantly changing i think that's a healthy thing what i hope is that britain in the same way that we very sensibly stayed out of membership of the euro itself i hope that we could send you to be skeptical about off earth revolved the following the recent riots across the u.k.

the police were criticized for not acting more forcefully is this a case because the respect for human rights has gone too far do you think. human rights is a question of a balance between the majority and the vocal minority. the rights of the individual are preeminently important we live in a democracy believe in a civilized democracy where individuals are allowed to live their lives or should be allowed to live their lives and safety freedom to speak speak what they wish will say what they wish and to an extent do what they wish the trouble is that because of influences such as the human rights act because of the influences of of what i would regard as the. as the less sensible members of the of the saloon the liberal press and the liberal establishment that those who would seek to disrupt society are the by deeds words or actions inconvenience and danger the

majority of and endanger the majority of society unnecessarily so how many people did we see protesting say in the student riots before christmas well i don't know how many were but clearly a tiny tiny minority inside the country were they were they protesting legitimately for the most part absolutely of course they were should they be allowed to continue protesting of course but not violently now the police must protect the majority from the violent or the disruptive minority that is as much part of my human rights and human human rights as to say that once a man or woman is arrested they should be treated decently by the police of course they should but it's a question of balance it's a question of proportionality now the police god bless them please please understand i am a big supporter of the police force have been so lambasted by the limine livered conduct of the last government that when we have things like the g twenty protests

the death of ian tomlinson etc well i'm not saying that things won't go wrong by the police of course they were but this nonetheless has colored. so much of the police approach towards these sort of problems that we have a. institutional nervous breakdown from the police in these in these cases and helped by the fact they don't get robust and stringent support from politicians including those of my own party who should then done the right thing how should they dealt with them they should have dealt with the rights with due proportionality i'm not saying i wasn't there and i'm not a police officer and i'm not going to start making specific indictments about policeman but those in my experience of dealing with riots which i regret to say is considerable most view is that once someone starts being violent there are very very very few options left you as a member of the security forces of a meeting violence with proportionate and measured violence we didn't see enough of

that. in water cannons potentially possibly i don't i wouldn't again i wouldn't talk about the sort of weaponry i wouldn't i wouldn't specify the sort of weapon all i would say is that imports of this country things like water cannon things like plastic bullets are used almost were i would say without without thought of course or use with thought but in northern ireland violent extremism violent disorder is dealt with extremely robustly by the police service and all the and i don't see why we treat our rich thugs in a different way from the way that we treat english thugs let's talk about afghanistan now it could be argued ten years on the gulf between the western arab world's a bigger than it was before now you're a former member of the armed forces what would you say was it was the campaign wrong to begin with what do veer off course afghanistan is a difficult place i think that if there was going to be allied intervention in afghanistan we should have learned particular from the british experience in the

past that if you go into afghanistan you go with limited aims and you go with a limited time period in mind to get to enter afghanistan in two thousand. two with no clear mission statement with no clear limitations upon when the allies were going to withdraw or indeed what their aim was is very very difficult particularly for a former military man to understand can anything good come and think if they do anything positive i think i think there is plenty of positive things that are being the being achieved that first and foremost is we've got to stop talking about afghanistan and those if it is as if it is the kernel of the problem it's not it's a regional war and it stretches from the borders of iran to the borders of russia and encompasses the nuclear armed country of pakistan the presence of our troops in afghanistan or should i say more properly on the afghanistan pakistan border is as much about maintaining the relative stability of pakistan and the relative stability of pakistan's nuclear arsenal as it is about reestablishing afghanistan

as a relatively civilized country what's the best possible outcome here they've promised to withdraw troops by twenty fifteen is that likely will it be met and where will that leave the country it was an extraordinary statement by the president the united states saying to his enemies that whether he had won or not he would be withdrawing his troops can you imagine the i'll to a conference they are lies deciding that there are no incident to hit that would be that by a month x. or of year x. that they were to what the outcome they'd be withdrawing their troops i don't think so it was a huge misjudgment but now that has occurred we've got to make the best of it i don't personally foresee every american every british every allied soldier leaving afghanistan between two thousand and fourteen two thousand and fifteen numbers will the course and infrastructure will be will be will be rolled down but there's going to be no i presence in afghanistan for the foreseeable future why was that so

damaging. well you colonel no tenet of military strategy or operations at the operational and strategic level allows you to say to your enemy this is when we're going to surrender that's not war patrick thank you thank you very much judy. please. list. lists. lists.

a close eighty seven victory over france. backcross and rochelle the exciting game from north america draws a lot of new follows across the ocean. and the first of a career double it's a tired old america it's a book of survival kid big canapé in the women's singles final comic up in the russian capital. so new zealand twenty eleven rugby world cup champions the all blacks try out thing by the narrowest of margins of a french team in auckland it may have been the lowest scoring decider ever but it was also one of the most exciting one tried pace for the sides return of what kowtowing ever for the house fifteen minutes in a french captain to read this touchdown eight minutes after the break was a stephen don't penalty group prove crucial eight to seven the final school ends and part of the all black starts to celebrate their second world crown. the guys

who have won the world cup and then there is outstanding. i would been through a lot together as richie cheat and a lot of the guys pride in the last world cup and fell with the quarter final and the witnesses. there's not words for quite frankly the composite of the certainly we have always thought we have always said that the all blacks were the best team of all time but tonight i think i would seem was great even tremendous for you but it was difficult when it is just a tiny bit more. now football when the russian premier league leaders in it have retained their top spot following a three one away victory to restore faith they visited nihilists open this scoring has done it registered an hour ago there were two minutes in defend smaller aleksandr before if in the area so the referee had no other option but to point to the spot alexander look which make no mistake that by the thirty second minute was

in it extended their lead to free goals headed home after a process to become altered called one go back straight after the break but that was it for the house so we want to finish and still on top of the standings. stuff like moscow meanwhile have gone for finlay standing says a fresh f.c. tome at luzhniki stadium for nail marks opened the scoring for the muscovites with ten minutes brazilian striker double delayed just before the break se had plenty of time to fire his powerful shot into the top right corner after the break spotter substitute metric contributed with his career his first go for the team to make a friend and finally found the net once again for the home side two minutes before the whistle to seal the final result before nail. in the late game

so mail it to stuff for the home defeat by second place is a scar moscow that was finished five three two learned to ski. with a hat trick to his name. to the english premier league now where manchester city have rushed cross-town rivals united six one at old trafford my rehabilitation and . each with a double there for the visitors while gerrard added the consolation girl for alex ferguson's men this victory of port city five points clear of their closest rivals united are still came up three one when is against stoke city. have a terminal picked up all three points at full on another games back on the winning track as they defeated two girls to one place in chelsea a surprise in the last the league's new boards queens park rangers. and now let's take a look at brazilian football where current champ has a loss to lead to an error by two girls and mr charles to move third in the table

the visitors open this scoring eleven minutes into the game. a foot from the test can last a midfielder found the net from the penalty kick as his strike appeared to be too strong for a few minutes as goalkeeper diego authentic of and went up in first half injury time to wallace cross after the head of helm at the net post. to finish their miserable night off for the hosts referee in culver city center learned several minutes before the final whistle. never to tell us now where it gets a book or has won her first ever career double duty title the kremlin that's after beating in the women's singles final here in moscow i think counted turned out to bear three sets it was the stunning player who took the open a rather easily six three but eight feet stormed back in the second as she won it on a tie break sibel cool was also betting the decider taking it seventy five the

match and the trophy. in the men's game it was. claimed the title following a straight sets victory over come true and defending champions league detroit's pete top seed tipsarevic to open in seven six four it was even more confident in the second one is dropped only two games there to win the cup. now the north american sport of lacrosse has become an unlikely pastime in russia the exciting game drawing a lot of new followers here this year as consider but up of now explains. lacrosse is recognized as the oldest north american sport with origins in leafy it century the native americans could to get to their hearts even went as far as calling it the little brother off war many amendments have occurred since stand alone to popularity in the past indeed worldwide to flourish. is a team game so it's got that competition thank is in the air so it's now here three

dimensions and there's more scope for dinner clever stuff like that you know you've got to get your steak when you've got yeah it's like an extension of yourself i think parents and the cons i think it's kind of fun is ok you know padded up you know you know you think about her really but you see there's no like i got the ball and suddenly like four guys in the land i think it's ok it's funny you know it's amusing like ross has been a surprising revelation for russian audiences despite having few domestic players and just to be clubs one each in moscow and st petersburg this poor state sure is growing in every match between the rivals is a big advantage at the moment flooring fans are in the majority in the stands i i think in russia it's a it's an upcoming sport it's you know it's a brand new sport and i think you know we have a lot of americans a lot of british people here and the child play with the russians and teach the russians how to play the cross and hopefully integrate it into russian culture is a great game for young people because it's it's of the us but i don't think you

know it's good to get out there to become fit to get stronger and to make friends to be a team like ross has been a tool in big games in one thousand no foreign land no wait with canada topping deporting them on both occasions it's also the national summer sport of the country the physically demanding pastime with its full context stands not too dissimilar to the country number one sport ice hockey oh i was looking for team mates to play hockey but got into lacrosse and now i like it not a lot of people here know anything about the game and i like to watch people's amazed. faces when they see my stick and helmets in the streets it has a lot in common with hockey so i mean the hitting i mean the game itself strategy involved it's pretty similar to hockey in hockey is popular here so i mean i think you could definitely grow in russia there is still a long way to go for cross before it becomes a well known sport in russian soil but if the enthusiasm of the people really playing it here is anything to go by the signs are that it will happen sooner

rather than leave his name a governor or a chief. and file a very sad news italian rider marcus sim and charlie has died after a crash at the malaysian military to pay that in supposing they twenty four year old was hit by two bites at ten eleven after hearing that awful calling edwards and bullets in a row say the american right also fell but this tape serious injury fellow italian russell was able to return to the pits the race was immediately stopped after the tragedy in the challenge and i'm not happy rider for two seasons following at the checkered career in the lower classes so yet another change in the sport. where the medical staff arrived on him he was unconscious on the us because the arrest them started this c.p.r. . suspicion we don't ask immediately the medical center
