On 11 April 1988, ITN's Trevor McDonald sat down with Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi to discuss Libya's place in the world. Gaddafi discussed his desire to unite the Arab world by breaking down the borders between countries, the Arab-Israeli conflict and the possibility of a settlement, Libya's relations with America (who Gaddafi called "our enemy" when it came to the issue of Israel and Palestine), Libya's relationship with Britain ("a colony for America"), and Libya's support for the IRA in their fight against Britain in Northern Ireland.
