place. all that it really succeeded in doing was removing one dictator the program and the plan and the system remains the same and so for this reason apart from other possible involvement of about side forces this is the reason why we see the type of one rest taking place in egypt i do not believe that the arab spring was soley a grass roots movement outside of outside influence that they were not elements involved in that we know that the united states and great britain and israel had spies on the ground in all of these countries where these revolutions were taking place we know that there were various groups tied to the cia that were responsible for training many of these young revolutionaries so in that regard i don't consider that the arab spring has done anything. for finance ministers from the arab league have agreed on a draft plan for economic sanctions against syria the measures which are expected

11:06 pm
this initiative with the greatest possible skepticism we know from libya that the claims made about massacres of civilians were untrue we know that they were exaggerated and they were manipulated for the purpose of overthrow gadhafi in my view the same motives are at force here if a humanitarian corridor is opened it will allow among other things secret service agents to penetrate into syria and they will presumably be there with the goal of overthrowing the regime which i think is an extremely dangerous and unwelcome development but the international criminal court has confirmed that moammar gadhafi son could be tried in the other countries knew this promise of. a fair trial there lancing concerns that would be the case then it reports. say feliz longet daffy is a man with a lot to say he's the last chance the world has to know how they get that the
11:07 pm
regime turned from public enemy number one to bosom buddies with britain and the other western powers but the international criminal court in the hague says it's not going to extradite him allowing libya to try him instead of libyan officials already calling for the death penalty many fear it's a tactic to keep those dirty secrets hidden forever that's a controlled forum where the western interests look at look at what happened with the trial of the loss of which you can be sure that the information that they could offer family has about the relationship between could after you in the. world not come out saying give af he was his father's right hand man the crucial mediating go between it the west he enjoyed a playboy lifestyle in london counting tony blair peter mandelson and prince andrew amongst his pals there are even reports he was entertained at buckingham palace this is where safety that he was given

11:09 pm
negotiate with us a deal that if you accept this deal we will take you at the care of the court what does. it means is is controlled by those countries. which i think yes but then i don't think it's going to be in anyone's interest for this to promote the new government in libya want blood that's my reading of it europe wants silence and wants to do is move on attractive because of course the hypocrisy in the double dealing with europe with one hand condemning human rights abuses rather limited kind of way the same time get porting daffy's enemies back to libya who were tortured almost at the very point when tony blair was meeting about it in the tent so i think there's an awful lot of truths that ought to come out and i really doubt it ever will. search was. libya insists it's capable of giving a fair trial despite its judicial system not being independent for over forty years
