and their grandchild in libya the geopolitics of libya are very very important the way it's in north africa very close to europe there are many aspects that the europeans follow him to be very important to the european community that's one to get that he himself the dictator the sole. ruler of libya is someone who no one on the whole entire planet is fond or lights or wants to be with them the third dimension which is very very important is that he didn't he didn't stop at anything this man would have literally killed hundreds of thousands of people it may sound exaggerated but trust me on this one right now as we speak there are massacres taken place in misrata and no one can get to them can't get to them by sea can't get to them by then and then in jebel nafusa in the west of libya so let's let's let's actually characterize things in the proper context there is no. as you make into that incident is that we really feel the intervention is failing to protect people that's exactly the point that people. make they're saying we asked for this intervention but it's not working ok gentlem

bombing of libya. u.s. congressmen were hoping to finally get some answers but after two hours of questioning the secretary of defense and chairman of the joint chiefs of staff they were still confusion about the u.s. is ending and i think a policy success would be the removal of. the khadafi regime the military mission is a limited one and does not include regime change. who the rebels are we don't have much visibility into into those who have risen against each element has its own agenda. it's pretty much a pickup ball game at this point and whether the u.s. will arm them discuss our plans if you need regarding arming the rebels they seem to be getting their butts whipped but gates and mullen pass the buck and that one's referring to the white house what if it was ok to the side of the missile in there and or at least we would clearly have a problem about how long the u.s. will stay the bottom line is no one can predict for you how long it will take. for that to happen and whether the u.s. is at war at al

well there used to a a group in in libya the libyan islamic fighting group and this was. one of the many groups in north africa that had some degree of association with al qaeda and what happened is that they get their feet government was successful in essentially crushing this group most of the of the leaders in jail and the ones that survived migrated to other places so far. of conflict so this is this is why you find libyans for example in high positions with the al qaeda core in pakistan afghanistan area is because of the defeat of the levy and islamic fighting group in in libya and now what happened in libya is very very before this latest crisis is very very interesting because the they got their free government enter into. into discussions with the recently there are leaders of alevi and islamic fighting group and somehow the leadership of the group went through a process of assessing the examining their ideology and they ended up we now seeing violence and as a result of these a number of them were let out of prison so basically i would tell you that the not have

a little bit of background before i arrive to libya, i write to brooke libya on february 28. the libyan conflict began as a small cluster of lawyers demonstrating on february 15 in downtown benghazi. people who have been inspired by the revolutions to libya's east egypt and weston tunisia. in less than 48 hours, by february 17, a full-scale armed revolt had broken out in urban benghazi. the libyans security forces gunned down an unknown number of protesters told by libyan civilians to be in the hundreds during what is called a day of rage, which was again on february 17. and so, with a nasty outcome of the day of rage, the libyan revolution began. but personally journey into the libyan revolt was libya was a deeply ossified closed society saved for the bangladeshi migrant workers and british patriot technicians and the odd italian tort that would come to visit greek ruins from time to time. at the lightly populated oil-producing state, libya was much unlike its neighbors, tunisia to the western egypt to its east. it saw no need throughout over four decades of gadhafi strolled

libya. but first let's see what russians think about how to resolve the libyan crisis. and while many says the goal of the western led effort in libya is in question then i want the people of libya i really fell in their hour of need the public being an agency lot of said i'll stress and what the internet can do to stop the bloodshed and to protect the bins fifty one percent of those polled say they should be no intervention thirteen percent say comic sanctions against the regime is the solution to the problem twelve percent believe that is asses should be frozen ten percent think a closed space can help and seven percent support a ground operation in the the future of the libyan people is far from being clear that. ok is resized down and to do this program nato still is very very well it's actually very against are arming any groups in libya the united states britain france other members of nato are not so separate members are not so clear on it in we've heard from the us that they're getting they're entertaining the idea i've been trying to you i mean i'm i'm the bigg

the example of libya. you want civil war. three points -- three points, sorry. algeria's point of view should be listened to resolve the crisis. they know how to negotiate. they have done it for so many years including the american hostages in iran in the 1980s. if algeria can play a role, they should be encouraged to do so. maybe it can offer gadhafi and his family some kind of exile. second point, assurances of some kind should be given to the tribe in western libya still fighting with the regime. if you want them to switch sides, you have to offer them an incentive in doing so. this should not be seen as the trail to gadhafi's own tribe. it should be seen as a kind of deal where gadhafi's tribe itself that if he and his family go to exile, it's not betrayal to get back with the gadhafi regimement finally, your actions in libya may turn out to be a genius masterpiece of brilliant foreign policy. it could resolve your long running struggle with the jihaddists in the middle east, or at least most of them.

thomas friedman noted that libya is not a nation. there is no loyalty to libya. it is a collection of 140 different tribes and much more like a rock. are we now aiding and abetting the same organizations we're fighting in afghanistan and iraq? >> to be honest, other than a handful of leaders, we do not have much visibility into those who have risen against gaddafi. speaking of the "opposition" is a misnomer. it is very disparate. it is very scattered. each element probably has its own agenda. s that have town' risen up in the west where resistance has been " basically did so on their own. you did not see people going from one town to the next to share in the fight. that is one of the problems those who have rebelled against gaddafi are facing -- the lack of command and control and organization. there are multiple agendas. their disparate elements across the country engaged in this. -- there are disparate elements across the country engaged in this. we do not have much visibility into that. >> lig is in fact a major component of the opposition? >> i am not aware.

you have an opposition in libya that controls part of libya. that is the situation. >> is it called the gaddafi regime? >> you can call it the gaddafi regime if you like. >> last question. >> my understanding from your comments is that you're not able to get the cessation of hostilities that you wanted. the government has promised you security. how does that work? there's fighting going on. will you be traveling with government soldiers who will protect you? will government soldiers protect w.f.p.? >> we obviously have our own security people, but the government of libya has given us assurances that they will also provide security to enable us, for example, to get through the checkpoints and get this far as we can. i am very well aware that there may come a time where, for example, the fighting is so fierce that we can get no further. we absolutely recognize that. we have to do this on the basis of the security situation that is operating at that particular moment in time. we have to take advice from our own security people about the extent to

coming up next more on the situation in libya and cross talk where peter the about ask his guests if nader's decision to back the opposition was a wise choice. can't . stand. alone when welcome to cross talk i'm peter lavelle arming to when the conflict in libya has reached a stalemate should western powers expand their intervention and arm the and take it off the rebels would this be tantamount to choosing sides in a growing civil war and as time passes does an end game in libya become even more elusive. can. you discuss the ongoing stalemate in libya i'm joined by jim el-gamal he's in london he's a libyan writer and political activists he's also a british coordinator for the rebel interim national council of libya in washington we have i've been e-mailing he's a senior fellow and director of the center on peace in liberty at the independent institute and in tucson we have hudson she is an associate professor of near east studies at the university of arizona and another member of our crosstalk team on the hunger all right this is across town that means you can jump in anytime you wa

libya is a tribal country and maybe forever? the world is moving even in libya. i want to give you a little information. in the national council of transition you have 11 known members and 20 unknown members. do you know why they are unknown? because they precisely belong to what you call the tribes of qaddafi. the tribe of qaddafi himself, it would have members of the rebel i don't know shadow belonging to the tribe of qaddafi and you have 18 others... >> can i... >> wait a minute. who are kept secret for security reasons because they believe to these tribes. libya is changing. you have a wind of... little wind, maybe. there will be some counter wind probably but a wind of liberty, of freedom, of citizenship, whatever. i believe that there is real... we were completely convinced that the arab world was stuck into authority and condemned to know democracy. they are giving us a great lesson, a lesson of values which we thought being only ours and we should be happy you and me. the three of us together at that. >> rose: let's go back to ben for a closing. >> is thi

over a potential terrorist attack in europe grow security experts claim the coalition's involvement in libya could trigger a radical response. that had struggles to stand in the kind of radioactive water from the fukushima power plant into the ocean well thousands of whom the tsunami survivors placed in the system feature. and get off the most current metro suicide bombing russia deals a devastating blow to terrorism by killing a group of high ranking militants. around the world around the clock this is our team with our weekly news if you welcome the first pro gadhafi forces continue that latest offensive in western libya attempting to recapture the country's third largest city in misrata that's the last rebel stronghold left in the west and has been under attack for weeks of course on its part of syria's and trip a bit more. the work of bloodshed is increasingly being used to describe the situation in the last rebel held city in the west of this country the city of misrata now according to doctors on the scene they say that one person was killed and several people were wounded in the early

possible changes in the political system in libya. you know he's skeptical from german television city if. nato is discussing at least internally to support the rebels with their weapons or at least with the military and know how how does you evaluate this approach. that the pit was a push and there's a looser this is just mr aujali do you know my solutions as usual recount is a solution that's the simplest including resolution one hundred seventy that was adopted by consensus that we everybody wouldn't favor off with i have heard about this kind of talks this kind of considerations and i heard that there was one know how that has been already handed over to the rebels and i heard that somebody some people are already supplying arms to libya both facts are violations of the huge security council resolution there is only one way but it. yes the foreign minister. like to. i'd like you to state russia's stance on the use of the initiative to send humanitarian aid to libya because many experts say this might become the first had. military

and push for military operations exclusively against libya why in your. well i think that in part moammar gadhafi was sort of low hanging fruit and was a pariah that was despised by much of the world and is someone that the united states i think felt going to war against would be easier to get international coalition together on and to sell to the american public particularly and we've seen this come out as one of the narratives as to why the united states is bombing libya although this was not one of the stated reasons when the u.s. went to the u.n. but the bombing of pan am flight one hundred three you heard everyone from john mccain to progressive t.v. host ed schultz using that as an excuse to justify this u.s. bombing the fact is though that. the u.n. security council resolution one thousand nine hundred three that was passed was very narrowly passed because five very powerful countries china russia brazil india and germany abstained their populations represent a majority of the citizens of the world as represented on the security council so i think

of libya are really being helped in their. public opinion agency led by this and all stresses what the international community can do to stop the bloodshed and to protect lives fifty one percent of those polled say they should be no intervention thirteen percent say economic sanctions against the regime is the solution to the problem twelve percent believe that is asses should be frozen ten percent think a closed space can help and seven percent support a ground operation in the future of the libyan people is far from being clear. ok and if we sat down to do this program nato still is very very was actually very against are arming any groups in libya the united states britain france other members of nato are not so separate members are not so clear on it in we have heard from the u.s. that they're getting they're entertaining the idea i mean if i hear you i mean i'm the biggest cynic crying no i mean by arming the rebels and with nato air support it's just a matter of time before you can polarize down the gadhafi regime though

we see that in libya. and that we can't engage as we have in the past in these massive troop commitments that go on indefinitely. >> would you put a number on what the withdrawal has to be by july? >> it's hard for me to say that. i don't want to endanger troops that there are. i think what the americans are looking for and the president is looking for is a clear indication we're coming home. >> we'll get to libya in a moment. i want to talk about the big budget battle. we could have a government shutdown if the two sides don't come together. is that where this is headed? >> i hope not. this is the warmup. as important as it is to finish appropriation for the next six months of this year, we have a much, much bigger battle ahead of us in the next few weeks. we don't want to see the government shut down. speak eer boehner is in a difficult and tough political position. i see the problems he's facing. we have to put this behind us. we agreed on a number as to the cut. now we have to agree on the component pa

. >> nato and libya were the focus of in-depth as nato foreign ministers are in germany to discuss libya. thank you for watching. 1 which foot was it? best make that "best wishes." we don't want them getng their hopes up, do we? no, i suppose not. have always we don't want them getng thdone it.s up, do we? why should she watch the flowers? nobody really remembers,

intention to launch a ground operation in libya what do you think. well i think that obama is genuinely reluctant to become and loyal to the u.s. a roof on the ground because americans are already overextended in afghanistan and there's talk that they may not in the end kolo to iraq. what he's offering the world of three. heads of state. cameron circles here and obama is certainly one sided they want codepage of kobe for more on the cities where there is conflict but he after is nothing they offered nothing in return they and other countries so you it will continue. their support for their rebels and i think that is becoming a where all here in the world are. there's an expression in america mission creep there when you start doing right and saying that the pressure builds up to do more and more because no general likes to admit that he did something that failed and so then they are for something more and. not a total surprise that we're getting trucks. troops on the ground and in england somebody has said there should put predator. troops in there w

here in archie our many sonali with the latest in a look back at the week's top stories we begin in libya where programs are few forces in the country are attempting to recapture the west the third largest city in a strong and the last rebel stronghold left in the west and has been under attack for weeks now are one of polls here in the capital tripoli with more. but word of bloodshed is increasingly been used to describe the situation in the last rebel held city in the west of this country the city of misrata now according to doctors on the scene they say that one person was killed and several people were wounded in the early hours of sunday morning when the government forces renewed shelling on a building in the city and we understand from the doctors that and turn a few days ago there were number of civilians being housed inside that building they have been injured in recent clashes between pro and anti gadhafi forces but fortunately there have been evacuated before the shelling began we are also hearing from doctors that in the last week alone one hundred and sixty people have been ki

it's hard to see what we're trying to accomplish in libya because we're supporting. if the if the men who are in the resistance in libya were in afghanistan they would be the taliban. so we're supporting basically we're providing air cover for people who are may not be al qaeda but are fighting for the same reasons you know in two thousand and nine what are those reasons the reasons are to jump gadhafi and to establish a government that isn't a sovereign government and which will fight against the united states its allies and israel how do you know well the united states government told us in two thousand and nine they published a report widely distributed that music and benghazi were the heart of islam is there to be these in in libya that's where the resistance is those are the second highest number of suicide bombers of any country on earth to iraq for example so it's not rocket science if it was you couldn't come for me well so then why i mean if you have this knowledge and you were you know formerly the voice in the presidency or the secretary of state and says

agreed to send a military team to advise libyan rebels despite warnings and strong opposition from libya's government. tripoli says the action is a britain france and it's illegal to prolong the fighting and destroy any chance of peace small reactions from me in just a moment. also as the world bank warns of a new crisis finance experts say it's high time for america to step but for which the dominant role of the global economy and concentrate instead of juicing it so colossal. class with more than half of the population living below the poverty line really georgians are falling and hard to put food on the table right government money just doesn't reach them. and in business news russia will become one of the top five global economies in the next decade says by mr putin as you outline the calls for the country's government and parliaments what should be the school it's in for the details in about twenty minutes. for a good evening this is our team my name is kevin over and it's now ten pm here in moscow how top story france has promised to intensify airstrikes in libya at the request of th

tomahawk missiles being fired and who knows what in libya today. i don't think it was an award of hope it was an award of wishful thinking and an award of sycophancy i mean if you look at the list of the nobel prize prize winners . you have had a lot of u.s. presidents some bilious the award has been pretty tainted i don't know whether you're aware of this peter but in one nine hundred thirty six someone suggested out old hitler for the peace prize this was of course not taken up but he was suggested might have to mount gandhi never was awarded the peace prize so it is a pretty there's a there's a very interesting norwegian jury is frederick have from a who's written a book on the nobel peace prize and he says that the peace prize for truly from the beginning violated alfred nobel's instructions that nobel have said peace prize should only go to those people actively engaged in peace and it's been hijacked by retired norwegian politicians and a cold war academic from the past to hand it out at will and there was a lot of criticism in norway when ob

and the united nations had imposed sanctions on libya and forced libya to pay damages to the families two point seven billion dollars and they had wrecked libya's economy with sanctions and now last summer we began to hear that could offie was pushing the oil companies for reimbursement of the costs to the libyans saying that's my duty and you. yes yes i do believe that it's very significant i believe that in october chevron and occidental petroleum pulled out of libya ok now. italy france britain and china germany all those countries are still in libya ok those countries are still there but the united states pulled out and i believe that at that point the united states began to think that there were they needed to do something to remove could be because he was going to continue to demand behind the scenes he was going to demand that libya receive compensation for the sanctions that they suffered wrongfully for twelve years interesting theory and it's a lesson she's not literally it's a lesson because i want to ask you one of the point taken everything you say i mean i was just what i

improve those kids in libya themselves basically you see their future of libya the political future of libya is the destiny of the whole country and that's the business of libyan people and where our foreign partners are trying to play a role in these internal civil conflicts usually you see it there to the extreme is terrorists take. care of what we saw in iraq and what we are now seeing in afghanistan so russian position has been always been very prudent first of all it's not all went into all the cancers internal affairs that's the cornerstone of the united nations again is a ship and russia cares about borders are supporting these basics of international law that's not. said. of course russia as all the other countries tried to do their best in stopping the bloodshed taking place in libya by what we see now their position of many punches nation members he is absolutely destructive what they're doing they're not preventing large shares but they're increasing. the bloodshed in libya big ego and popular from the is a futile for world economy and international relations thank you. well

paribas there's news from libya is doing little to classified not. i think it's a little bit early to cite the resumption of supplies from libya these are just tentative cargoes and in the end we have a disruption of supply in excess of a million barrels per day and i don't think it's a couple of cargoes here or there that are going to shift the market but also until further notice supply out of libya is disrupted and this is why the market is not responding to. the markets now u.s. stocks have edged higher on tuesday despite reports a u.s. non manufacturing sector grew less than expected tech stocks leading to gauge national semiconductor surged seventy one percent at one point that's after texas instruments made a bid for the group worth six billion dollars. european markets ended choose day session to put sea on the backs were shedding more likely for three point two dax just point one percent a new credit downgrade of portugal by moody's rating agency was dampening sentiment and a sly correction in russia to you after two days of growth beyond he
