too many properties who have been placed. there he doesn't talk that he should be silenced for tonight the man who led the libyan uprising shares his theory of buy good duffy's death exclusively with us. to seek uses nato of abandoning the country after ousting the old regime bus. but that is one of the issues the syrians to this u.n. and arab league envoy kofi annan says it's up to the syrian people to decide whether president assad stays and stresses that it's unreasonable to set it artificial deadline for

a solution to the country's crisis. also pressure mounts on north korea over its controversial plans satellite rocket launch as world leaders gather in seoul for a nuclear summit. hello and welcome this is r.t. it's no less than pm my name's kevin zero in on our top story tonight the former libyan prime minister who is the driving force against moammar gadhafi during the nato campaign is accusing the west of forgetting his country after toppling the colonel. told the security forum in brussels that the resulting power vacuum leaves libya open to extremists now our correspondent has for sale and asked for his thoughts about why give af he was killed in an exclusive interview he gave to us and r.t. . that was something very interesting the whole world was watching when it actually

happened and to hear him have his theories on what could have been the cause or who was actually behind it was really interesting let's listen to what he had to say there are too many parties who have interest. he doesn't talk that he should be silenced forever. with that he was killed for an interview by libyans who are libyans and they are from others i really don't know you know what's interesting there is if you remember from the from the beginning he was traveling around the world visiting foreign leaders to get their support to oust the regime he was then leading the effort in the m.t.c. against the regime and afterwards after some investigation or some questions arising out of death of gadhafi the way he was killed he himself it casts a suspicion and i had asked him was it a foreign power which western power were you referring to. when he said right now i can say i don't know before you seem to discount the fact that it could have been. a foreign power that was question from the very beginning in fact. the brussels

form it was very open and i think honest revelation of the. i am thankful for grateful for nato support and not just need for the other countries as well outside of me that have provided arms but what's ironic here now is he also came in there saying that the biggest problem in libya right now is to get the guns off the street and so it's a bit ironic we saw that ok you have to help coming in in the form of arms and now that is the biggest problem to create a civil society a democratic decided he himself has been trying to push for for the time being you have to meet with groups. commit. acts which are not compatible with him or it's. going to hold them responsible you cannot hold the government responsible for that because the government is not in control of those groups actually one of the main topics that we wanted to discuss

with them was about islamic groups what we actually thought of that extremism or even even al qaeda its presence in the region there let's listen to what he had to say about. them in libya this. result. and if that happens the whole european continent is going to suffer. yes so this rise of possible extremism and could be the level it varies depending on what country we've seen in the arab spring countries the rise of such groups as islam is to groups with with that foundation of the political view and now in the international context what was interesting we asked him is how do you think the whole world or europe and the u.s. is going to react to a possible new leader that's only legitimately elected by the people of these countries are rubia but may not be in accordance with the interests of those countries that support and that was a very interesting part of the interview and he had to start and those are well if tempted to see more i can tell you we've got the interview in full with mahmoud

jibril in the next this program on this channel. libya is not the only country struggling to heal the scars of revolution of course later today we got extended report on the fallout from the arab spring uprisings across the middle east and north africa. something good for you what is happening on the streets now is the eve of after forty three very wild cards without however i totally disagree i don't even think the point to be. we're still waiting for the actually resolution to help. the u.n. arab league envoy on syria says it's up to the people to decide if president assad should step down kofi annan is trying to promote a cease fire and political dialogue to end the year long crisis the now his latest

comments come with widespread calls from the united states and its allies for regime change in syria peter all of a caught up with the envoy just as he left moscow after talks with the russian leadership. we spoke to him in the car in the airport the part cheers loud and cheer now he praised russia for offering its full support to his six point peace plan and he. did get it as well as with the foreign minister sergei lavrov over the weekend very happy with what they wanted those meetings he said though that the the key issue now is to get both sides here in the syrian crisis to sit down together to put down their weapons and to talk things out and he was asked the question at a short press conference ruffian and he was asked should push other sides be removed from power that is one of the issues is serious when. he sat. there for this to. come to the table and find their way out of

borders in terms of how long it will take to carry out to act outside of the what's contained in that man's piece cried he said well you can't put a timeframe on the fight to do so could be counterproductive to put it in place he also mentions foreign weapons being in the hands of the syrian opposition he said that it is possible that some foreign weapons bought for training had been given to syrian rebels fighting against the assad government he also called on countries like qatar and saudi arabia who have said that they are willing to provide troops within the city likes to have the want to feel that the syrian rebels that they should respect the peace process and not do anything that would be counterproductive to that is cease fire has widespread support the president dmitri may get of saying it was the last chance to avoid a bloody and patrik just civil war in syria president medvedev also warning. not to do anything that could cause more problems in the country. the u.s.

president and i both think that kofi annan efforts are a good way to achieve at least the initial point of carol in syria and believe the way for communication. various public groups in the country should act in a way so as not to create more problems so that the threat of civil war is not realized. also the united states and the e.u. have supported kofi annan. the united states have pledged their support as well as non-lethal aid to the syrian rebels and just last week we saw the european union issue fresh sanctions on syria as well peter all of our correspondent there were more about syria going into the conversation diode professor of international law at georgetown university in washington d.c. professor very good to have you on the program side thanks for taking the time to be with us because as we just heard they cannot kofi annan says it's syria's internal affairs to decide who should rule their its country and yet washington the

e.u. and some arab states are continuing their push against the regime no you're an expert in international law is it legal to back an armed uprising against a sovereign country's government just could you put that into perspective in the first place for. well general principle of international law. intervention. other countries are fair is not allowed. article two of the united nations charter. position and it is. linkage to the principle of sovereignty it's the right of the people of the free to choose whatever regime they were wrong in so many countries you have internal turmoil. it could come from thing more serious

but unless it is an international. national peace and security. security council should not intervene would not intervene and definitely. no individual country could or should intervene in the internal affairs of another country this is a general rule in international law general rule but a rule that appears to be broken just how far can a foreign countries go in intervening in the internal affairs of the sovereign state. well we know that. even though the law is clear on this side it is not observed. it should be observed band with each country's interfering in internal affairs and specially countries that feel that they have clout in the international. united nations they may force to have the united nations take

decisions that might be at times in violation of the charter itself. russia is a big player has been for a long time the world negotiation russia right now again warning that taking sides in the conflict defeats peace efforts but it seems the united states and the e.u. are not taking any heed why is that you think. i think the russians have learned. through a few lessons specially in libya believe you are the only justification for the security council to intervene and to take. would be if there is a threat to international peace and security and crimes against humanity and crimes of war are considered per se violation of international law or a threat to international peace and security and this justifies the intervention of

the security council however humanitarian intervention should be limited in time and space and link whatever action is taken is linked to the purpose and that is to stop to prevent the occurrence taking place of. crimes against humanity then crime before for certain what the need to force. a professor we've only got a minute. lost i want to broaden it out a little bit we've heard on the program just tonight a leader of the libya's revolution accusing west and. how's abandoning his country now after the military intervention you think of other countries think of a rock you think afghanistan you think it libya possibly syria do you think foreign powers are simply leaving a trail of destruction behind. while if had it not been for the russians and the chinese. founding using the power of the security council probably syria would have faced the same consequences that could have been much

more. devastating is very much more trouble in the area because it will not be limited to syria only. but not been for the time being of these two nations things would have deteriorated to a point where it could be totally beyond control and. where i think ever so much for your thoughts much appreciated the professor. this is artsy coming up for you. it's easier to. deal with the good soldier the kidnapped soldier after israel's dug the thousand prisoners tricks one soldier to his troops to kill themselves or each other to avoid capture. on the baltic by by played by widespread unemployment latvia loses its brightest brains leaving in an exodus for better opportunities far from. north korea it may not officially be on the agenda of the nuclear summit in

seoul but it's something that's hard for leaders to avoid specially after barack obama warned that he would punish the young for what he described as bad behavior over his plan satellite launch that is really more of why the u.s. leader striking a harsh tone. he arrived to south korea only off the nuclear security summit and immediately went to the militarized zone separating north and south korea and basically started making his statements they are saying that the regime has nothing to gain from threats or provocations you also criticize them for so-called bad behavior and the reason for such harsh rhetoric is the planned satellite launch which north korea is hoping to conduct next month now the united states japan and south korea view this not as a as a as a satellite launch but rather as a missile test and they're being opposed to it of course the united states president obama in particular seems to have used the sidelines of the nuclear security summit in order to discuss

a lot of international issues but primarily it looks like the u.s. is looking to increase its presence in in asia particularly in the asia pacific region if you look at what's going on in south korea for example the base that is being built which housed u.s. naval ships and you have to remember the twenty eight thousand u.s. troops are still already stationed here and there's also plans to put more than twenty five hundred military personnel in australia over the next six years so a lot of people are saying that's why this harsh criticism or to north korea the united states is actually showing china that it's still mighty in the region in its keeping its presence here in asia and that it's also keeping an ever watchful eye on china and u.s. presence tried with support from china to increase pressure on north korea to real alternation specialist oldest is legally rogue exactions. the koreans quite

correctly distinguished menace are. right wrong. and i mean it's interesting the americans got through the sanctions on korea a few years back. when france and they will launch a satellite in the night and said no no this disarm or. after the events on the trajectory that in fact it was a satellite and. so. there is a clear distinction the problem is of course a rocket which can launch a satellite is half way to being a rocket launching missiles are crucial differences guidance just on almost all those who have to have a warhead on the go. and we don't know if we in fact have got that. problem from the americans point of view is that there is absolutely nothing illegal wrong about what you know

a satellite. north thousands of satellites up in the sky why distinguish north koreans are like. as the today neatly sort of progress is obvious they were the for all the developments of bringing you from seoul from our correspondents there. tom explodes. its attention span. will come. from. the two thousand and twelve nuclear security summit. on r.t. . better off dead that's the message from the israeli military when it comes to their own kidnapped troops since last year's deal which saw one israeli soldier exchange for more than a thousand palestinian prisoners the military has now put in place a new protocol as artie's policy or explains it calls for soldiers to kill themselves rather than be taken captive. it's that time of year

again when no one's called up to put his life on the line for his country. when you go before. you understand that you write your book and six israeli soldiers never did come back another nineteen were turned in prisoner exchange deals for two of the kidnapped soldiers presents a huge problem on a strategic level for for our country which is why in the one nine hundred eighty s. the israeli army introduced its hanibal protocol it says i.d.f. soldiers must prevent the kidnapping of a fellow soldier even if it sees him killed no soldier and the china fifty one will be kidnapped at any price at any price under any condition even if it means of the globes themselves with his own grenade together with those trying to capture him. easier to deal with a good soldier than a kidnapped order and that message was loud and clear last year when israel set free more than a thousand palestinian prisoners in exchange for one captured israeli soldier. and

that price say one in five israelis is simply too high but will it force commanders to get strict and insist they soldiers kill a com raid rather than have him captured. your is going to shoot it's the instincts. is the strongest emotion. but this fighters i'm not so sure he knows the power his uniform has to hold his country to ransom i would look at it. i would approach and. avoid. the subject on the program cost even at the risk of being killed by friendly fire the ultimate price for a soldier to pay policy on our t.v. television. there's a killer controversy in the u.s. military too was a report from online tonight about to go confiscate turning
