mr sarkozy was defeated in the election mr obama that is that the only point you want when you want more no i'm asking you whether there is a responsibility for taking decisions that have major implications for hundreds of thousands of people there should be responsibility if you believe there was an investigation in iraq in the u.k. about iraq that led to some kind of blaming for the decision to go and for the kind of arguments that had been used but i don't think the international system today has a mechanism to look at this kind of decision in courage responsibility on the part of freebie and players if the international system this is my or what and this is my or my role is not to add a new violation to the internet there's a number of violations of the international system my role is to try and convince the libyans look very very carefully at your own national interest your own national interests is not to fight each other to your own national interest is to unite and to rebuild your country and if you do with the international system will react to that positively but if you give th

persons from nicolas sarkozy's president administration and the main allegation right now is when the standard is that michel platini and 2 of these people may have been involved in bribing now the core of the contention is the meeting which michel platini who was heading the way for back then back in those days before talking about 2000 he held a meeting 10 days before the thief a ballot on the world cup which was eventually awarded to 2022 so the meeting was between himself couple of persons from you could also because he's administration and the then prime minister and foreign minister of qatar so the main allegation now which the french police is looking into is whether the highest ranking football official in europe at the time michel platini may have been told to vote for her because initially he was supposed to vote for the united states and he voiced this opinion numerous times but eventually he voted for qatar something he admitted to so now it would be treason to see whether this leads to any more serious concerns about you know a possible bribery from the qatari officials w

voted for qatar and there was a launch basically 9 days before the vote which was held by nicolas sarkozy who was then french president and the emea was there and politically was there and then 13 and that voting for qatar now he says there was nothing untoward going on that was just a normal meeting what is strange is this was 9 years ago and we knew about this 9 years ago so why suddenly now are the french authorities getting involved again this meeting happened in france so that is why the french and you could choose officials involving themselves but it's taken an awful long time and we must say again and again cannot of qatar have always denied wrongdoing ok but fist on investigation back in 2014 found no evidence of any corruption taking place. is this world cup still going to take place in 2022 in qatar can it still i mean it's shrouded in controversy i mean could they call it off i mean we've got a little over 3 years now and if you don't have any evidence then they can't if they've had their own investigation and said look you know there is no reason why kotov should not host as
