Bishop Michael Nazir-Ali discusses the safety of Coptic Christians in the Middle East.

Bishop Michael Nazir-Ali, a Pakistani-born British Anglican bishop and former Bishop of Rochester, said there needed to be "restoration of order" in the Middle East, which "cannot wait for a political solution".

Bishop Nazir-Ali told BBC Radio 4's World at One programme: "If, under UN auspices, there is some authorisation for a force to restore order in Libya, that would be welcome by all sorts of people.

"That does involve, I'm sorry to say, ground forces."
