based journalist and cost and neil clark do you expect more british and american support for france near after the knowledge that the the militias in mali are better trained and armed than expected i do but i think that david cameron should have talked to shall we talk one on this one because today he's come out and said he should be got mark he said. that the country does not want the. rebels and so having done all of that he can't sort of background a few days time and say well molly's actually going to sort of back out of it so i think you talk you talk into a corner on this one but it is important isn't it marty and what's happening there well i think the contradictions are sort of glaring u.k. foreign policy. no because we're told by david cameron that we must allow islamist to take power in mali getting to the same david cameron who supported islam is rebels in syria so you've got to make his mind up why is it so terrible it is a mistake market wise to just the world whereas in syria the chinese ok if that happens and they overthrew a secular government there so i think this sort o

let's not get some reaction from journalist and broadcaster neil clark joining us live from the u.k. thanks for being with us this sunday the usa is there again the u.k. is aiding this french campaign in mali with supplies and several british hostages if we've been were as we've been reporting have now been killed in algeria how concerned do you think are the british public and politicians about the ramifications of this involvement well i think the public is very concerned and he said because what's happened here is that david cameron who spent most of last year cheering on islamist rebels in syria has now taken the line that islamist rebels in mali of the biggest dangers to the world we must intervene must help france regardless of the consequences just britain and i think it's a very misguided policy unfortunately the political elite in britain seem to be all behind his policy which is very disturbing but i think the public speaking for the public i think we're very concerned about what's going on. ok well let's break down why it's going on what's in this for the u.k. what is lond

based journalist and broadcaster neil clark believes there's a high chance the french army will get bogged down in mali despite the government's assurances that the mission will be just a matter of weeks see back to the first world war that is going to be over by christmas we have the vietnam war was only going to last a few months even and that lasted for many years and of course the afghanistan which the war there are still ongoing after twelve years or so so i think there is a real danger that this is a sort of the process is going to and they say that will be over in days or weeks and i think we could be talking more about months actually intervening in mali you've already heard that civilian casualties are taking place obviously this is going to speak. and there is a great danger that terrorist campaigns will come back to france so i think this is a very mistaken policy by hollande he is extremely unpopular he's only been in power less than a year and i think that the contradictions are here again because groups are equal the islamic rebels in syria to get france well hold on he's tak

argentina really heating up again it doesn't look like it's going away well journalist and blogger neil clark believes the falklands issue came up at the right time for the british prime minister. but david cameron it's a great issue that it's come up again because the economy here is in dire straits in britain austerity is really biting people are very unhappy with what he's doing and so i see you know. the falklands issue and i think that cameron is very much hoping that this was back to the green back the average of ninety two and the people's attentions here from the very popular things that he's doing but for this issue to come up now is a very trying week because the government is well down of the opinion polls and government is really unpopular i can't recall him becoming so popular so quickly and so i think that he will want to keep this in the news headlines is why he's reacted in such a sort of strong failing to deliver on his promises president obama has approved a new pentagon spending bill along with all its controversial provisions the law keeps one ton of open and allows the u.

intervention by providing cargo planes to transfer supplies to the war zone but journalism broadcaster neil clark says london stands against islamists is inconsistent. what's happened here is that david cameron who spent most of last year cheering on islamist rebels in syria has now taken the line that islamist rebels in mali of the biggest dangers to the world and we must intervene must help france regardless of the consequences to britain and i think it's a very misguided policy unfortunately the political elite in britain seem to be all behind his policy which is very disturbing but i think the public speaking for the public i think we're very concerned about what's going on we think back to twenty and then when it was david cameron and william hague people like this who were the loudest most aggressive cheerleaders will be deposing of colonel gadhafi who was the biggest work against al-qaeda in northern africa and now the very same people cameron in the hague are the ones saying we've got to get involved in the mali operation to try to put down al qaeda groups there and so there is a really c

of sovereignty during the g twenty summit in mexico well for more on this i'm not joined by jews neil clark so why has cameron responded in this way to what is a provocative but essentially unthreatening letter from the argentinian president. yes well i think that predated cameron it's a great issue that it's come up again because the economy here is in dire straits in britain austerity is really biting people are very unhappy with what he's doing and so i think you know about the falklands issue i think obviously we thinking back to thirty odd years ago when mrs thatcher was in a similar position she was a very unpopular leader her opinion poll ratings is very low and it seemed odds on that she would lose the next election and she was almost a hated figure and what happened with the argentine easy bake in the falklands was the stature sent the task force out and the rest as they say is history she became very popular she became a national hero and i think cameron is very much hope. so the bring back the back and raise of one hundred eighty two and if people's attention here from the very p
