he was an honest we. we wanted to preserve. some feel. for the stories that made headlines this week this is the weekly here on our t.v. nation supporting syria's revolution they meet in turkey to thrash out plans to help the opposition and build pressure on the assad regime this while turkish police dispersed supporters of the syrian leader just outside where the meetings taking place. also in the week's top stories a hot mike exchange between barack obama and dimitri many here to please to and the russian rhetoric among america's republican presidential candidates is a trend must go

a slanderous quote cold war hollywood cliche. and spain adopts its toughest of budget cuts in decades despite a nationwide strike and the massive protests that resulted in bali passers by and dozens of arrests. but next you're not seeing an exclusive interview with the man credited for orchestrating the downfall of colonel gadhafi former n.t.s.c. leader mahmoud jibril that's right. and when the side lies of the brussels forum we're sitting down with mahmoud jibril now he was heading the economic and development planning body in libya at the time of the rule of colonel moammar gadhafi and he later read lead in the uprising against the regime the interim prime minister of the national transitional council for about seven and a half months i thank you very much a mystery for joining us today and the first question i would like to ask at this

point today is the civil war really over in libya and who is in control at the moment a little first correct so there was no civil war in libya there was resistance being said that the teacher should but we can say the lucian did not start it we consider the group lucian with the start when you start start talking about development in the streets when we start tackling those issues an equal footing for all people as constitutional rights and then i consider that over substance we have to have our national out of me but established as you know gadhafi has destroyed the libyan army and he has stopped and instead of it could you brigades you know to protect the regime would have to say that he established least the. will have to collect those arms from the streets and we have to prepare the country for

elections next term if we manage to have a transparent elections resulting in drafting a constitution that equalize the rights of all libyans and then i think this bloodshed which took place was worth it but we have been ghazi which has unanimously declared a federal state in the eastern part of the country what complications could arise out of this move and you worry that maybe it's going to follow the post iraq or afghanistan a picture of its role it was not in good shape it was a group of people in the eastern part of the country. when you talk about going as you're talking about sensitive we're more than one million people you know but this was a demonstration of a group of people which is probably something that of the three thousand. or less. this does not represent the eastern he's told he's from the region and totally no less than one million eight hundred thousand people. so there was no different on

them there carried out so we can tell where the paper wants for the realism or not plus there were huge demonstrations just days later you know protesting the whole of this group federalism which means that religion is not popular in libya people are still clinched the unity of the country. considered what took place is an outcry it's a fear of being marginalized again because they've been marginalized for forty two years by the old regime olivia's branch of the muslim brotherhood baverstock bashar al little party it's called the a justice and development party observers are saying that this is probably because they were encouraged by the words of the stuff abdullah jill in october he said that the islamic law should be the basis in the future legal system of libya now is shari'a law compatible with the democratic

principles you'd like to start listing the country. first of all the muslim brotherhood of the. political parties to express their points of view i think this is their natural right to do so and they have equal rights as if every other libyans as for mr jellied when he expressed his point of view he express his point of view as an individual and his point of view reflects only his feeling with his perspective you know but it's not. commanding order it's not necessarily binding for the rest of the society how do you consider the victory of the national transitional council and those who thought against the gadhafi regime and that victory play into islamists hands there's that bother you. wait and see if will be elections what the results are going to be no i think the libyan case might be

a different case from what took place we tend to in these i don't think the. islamic or groups political groups you know have a strong impact as they do when and tunisia libya might be an exception in to this trend so let us wait and see and i'm not quite confident the bigger they're going to do as well as they did in egypt and tunisia but what about the al qaeda presence in libya how big of a possibility is it that they will gain a foothold in the country talks here or to carry on with your ridiculous speaking in the political vacuum can be filled by anybody you know and it's a fertile soil you know for the extreme isn't too good or so in the interest of everybody libyans among libyans you know to have a very commanding government as a term of government and police as from the spots. now looking back at me to

intervention in hindsight do you think this was inevitable or was it detrimental in that it could have been a less militarized ending for libya. well first of all the international community interventional because it was not only need two there were none nato members such as qatar and their minutes intervention but the international community was very decisive to help our fighters on the ground and the but in our favor you know and you said you were surprised by the fact that when the uprising started there was a lot of concern coming from the international community the western powers those who had backed it and you said it has to do with libya strategic position possibly it's all over just and now they're nowhere to be seen that libya has been abandoned after the very start there were voices that were saying that it's all about the oil perhaps or or strategic importance of libya do you think of libya was taken

advantage of. i don't think it was because of it because it was a flowing to the west you know during the difficult there was no interruption the told from. what i'm saying is that after the regime fell down most of the western countries felt that the mission has been accomplished they neglect the fact that libya is a stateless psyching it's not egypt and it's not tunisia when there is you was gone we ended up in a political vacuum there won't we need to be this talk show or national we need to help police stop showed police to collect arms of from the street and prepare the country for elections this is that agenda that we need help with unfortunately the cond of a system provided by a word of a potential friends. talk about. three million

jews developing civil society. training woman these are very important things but they are not production for the time being and the feel indebted to those afforded powers those countries that it helps support your cause when we fail since a good attitude an appreciation for what they did the helping us tremendously they supplied us with political support with weapons with economic assistance with medicine and a time when we're very desperate and we're at the mercy of the killing machine there might be less dependent. differently we cannot compare them with the other countries who did not do the same thing a let's talk about gadhafi his death you said is that you regret that gadhafi wasn't kept alive to face trial and that you suspect foul play you also mentioned it in an interview before the past about what you think there are certain powers

that may have wanted him silent because there were two many secrets kept do you still maintain that same position well what is said is that there are too many parties who have interests and that there he doesn't talk that he should be silenced for ever you know whether he was killed by a foreign entity or killed by libyans or libyans and they are from others i really don't know but what i am saying is that cool many posters will have a real interest that their feet just keep silent for ever. is it important to them who would. wish. for peace for my own curiosity in zero zero zero bluff to know who was behind his killing you know whether it was a libyan or not libyan. but before he was captured and killed he seems to have been trying to start negotiations do you think he wasn't given a chance to start those talks were good that he was a sneak you know could never be trusted you know he was trying to buy time he sent

to many messengers you know one of them was bush who was sent to france you know providing some sense of. what he called win win solution that he would give up. and that the t.n.c. we. take over for the first and second term his son would take over so it's in a sense shared in power you know. the. proposal was was refused the t.n.c. but the excuse which we hold was use was that we have institutions and we have studied the initiative and we have to take over time we consult and we're trying to buy time out cells preparing for the uprising and to clear the time regarding saif al islam why do you think his life was spared when he was captured

versus how his father was killed and i think the killing of the birth of the reaction was. the result and then to mimic millionaire get reactions from all around the world you know i think the group which captured savior took that into consideration. they just took in their custody his will three to. take care of i think. will be tried according to. international criteria upsets confident that he will face a fair trial. oh him come from then he would have a fair trial let's talk about the arab spring in general what do you think it represents at this point looking at all the countries that have gone through with this it's time for. the arab spring to present

a new phenomenon president in the middle east at three presents the beginning of the new culture to measure in the middle east and usually to try to express the bus in front of the can. control i'm going. to be treated equally as young people hold out on the war. so it's it's a new phenomenon and i hope. the countries of the world room dealing with the countries of the denise take note of this new phenomenon and they don't fall victim to their own perceptions of them just need them only will be elites they need some of the middle east do not represent their name in. the streets over there this young generation this and you and. i think if they want to comprehend the code of this and the phenomenon and they have to come down to the street and listen to those people you know i don't expect the new middle east to settle down now and

then fifteen twenty years is. not going to be real thank you very much. thank you. well. it's technology innovation mr bellamy and some from around russia we've got the few jerks covered.
