it is sort of reaction to what brought us here and what brought us here originally. the report laid out some strong certains ending in the recommendation that the program no longer exist. when the president laid out the parameters for him it is the same for me. there were five areas they talked about. i am hoping the speakers address those areas as they come to the podium. i know that is what i will be looking for. individual commissioners may have questions. that is their right. they want that information. i know for me what brought us here is this document. what i am looking for or how you addressed the issues and i hope i hear that as we move forward. thank you. >> commissioner. >> right. i want to the say, and i commission your concerns, however my understanding was that you would address the concerns that they raised. you met with some of us and you suggested ways that we can work with us. and i thought it was more of a working meeting so we can come together and change the rules so that they would reflect some of the changes that would reflect the concerns that

barry gardner thanks so much for joining us live here on r.t. good to have you with us now understand that you welcomed the u.n. resolution but you are actually against ukraine both went in libya's conflict many will see this is a contradiction so you can explain your reasoning behind your thoughts here. yes of course i felt it was right that there should be a resolution for humanitarian protection to stop the initial strike that gadhafi was going to make on benghazi because i felt that many many civilians would be killed in that but i don't believe it's right that britain or indeed any other powers should be intervening in what is in fact a civil war and unfortunately the terms of the resolution were far too wide and they had permitted britain and france and the other nato forces to get involved in part has now been very evidently made clear is the civil war would you like to see britain. not withdrawing from this campaign but taking more of a back seat in the way we've seen other allies within the alliance the nato alliance taking part in this
