Libya Fighting and a No-Fly Zone: Scott Lucas on the BBC

This morning I had a wide-ranging chat with BBC Radio WM, amidst reports of the regime's advance on opposition-held Benghazi and the international community's discussion of enforcement of a no-fly zone. (At that point, I did not have the confirmed information that a jet had been shot down over Benghazi.)

The conversation took in the latest military situation, the Qaddafi regime's propaganda (including the threat to wield terrorist attacks on "the West"), and my personal opinion on whether foreign support of the Libyan opposition was justified.

The discussion starts just after the 2:06.00 mark.
