Nihal asks - should the West try to kill Colonel Gaddafi?

Nihal asks - should the West try to kill Colonel Gaddafi? Plus he speaks to hip hop artist Cynikal and Richard Peppiatt tells us why he quit The Daily Star.

At 1, Nihal asks 'Should the West try to kill Colonel Gaddafi?' 

A row broke out yesterday between UK Government ministers and the Armed Forces over whether they should target the Libyan leader. The UN resolution 1973 doesn't allow for Gaddafi to be targeted and any attempt to do so will upset the wider coalition. The Arab League are very nervous by the airstrikes, publicly admitting that the coalition forces trying to take Gaddafi out might run the risk of all support evaporating. 

So should our forces be targeting Gaddafi? Is it the duty of the international community to answer the pleas of opressed Libyan people and remove Gaddafi? Or will the killing of Gaddafi be plain and simple murder?

At 2, Nihal speaks to Hip-Hop artist 'Cynikal' who will be telling us about his new tour which also includes some dates at the legendary 'Ronnie Scotts' in London. 

At 2.30, Richard Peppiatt will be in the studio speaking to Nihal about why he quit his post as a journalist at The Daily Star over its anti-Muslim agenda.
