and thirty other countries but colonel gadhafi remains defiant and vows are never to leave libya as nato airstrikes continue. coming up in about thirty minutes my colleague josh he'll be here with a full look at your news but right now peter lavelle and his guests discuss possible ways to break the libyan stalemate it's time for cross talk only here. hungry for the full stop we've got. the biggest issues get a human voice face to face with the news makers on the parts he. can start. following welcome to cross talk on people about libya's stalemate in the sand of nato bombing campaign and aid to anti kadafi rebels have only hardened political facts on the ground western intervention was intended to last a few weeks now is open ended instead of dislodging khadafi nato allies are left to bicker among themselves. can start. to cross the nato mission in libya i'm joined by are you johnson in london he is the founder and director of viewpoint africa also in london we have marco gas like he is a political analyst an expert on south east european affairs and in barcelona we call cross to omar as

barcelona there's been some news reports that france is in indirect talks with members of the gadhafi regime though just prior to that france condemned italy for calling for a cease fire and then simultaneously have khadafi spokespeople say there should be a cease fire should be approved prerequisite for some kind of negotiations so it looks like there is there are elements there that people want to talk what's wrong with the libyan proposal of cease fire to talk no more bombing and see where we go what do we have to lose. the main issue is that we have very serious credibility problem and credibility problem comes from forty two years. when he was ruling but also credibility long ago on the really long long ago the west is race mr gadhafi remember remember all the pictures with tony blair with you know obama with you know the elite of the west i mean so there is a credibility issue but i mean it goes back and forth right. yes because of course here i mean. i think one of our colleagues just mentioned the west operates on bases of interests and when interests intersects then you know

attitude that absolute surrender total surrender of the gadhafi and his his going to jean isn't that this shortsighted that doesn't that just keep the conflict going because what reason does he have he's going to be put on trial by western powers. for war crimes or what what interest does he have even to get any room at all i mean a human nature would say you have to then you have to stand and fight to the death which is continuous this civil war is protected war in libya. yeah i partly agree because but this is a pro conflict processing or didn't start by an i.c.c. indictment or a started by you know putting him in the post associates of his that is international wanted this it didn't stop like that it started with again a separate existence campaign may be organized by local libyan people whether anybody has the order in tripoli what in zawiya and other places in that year and then there's a fly was a vicious aggression campaign that seldon's of this then an organized arm campaign by the. demonstrators who was sorry and i myself oh not an intervention mark but the question. just to

than it is what it was to remove gadhafi so i think it's a lack of foresight lack of understanding of the issues on the ground i'm going. to want to for haste to get into a conflict a confrontation that you know very little about i'm not i think that what's happening now with nato is that they realize that they've jumped into quickly conscious of taking sides too quickly when they should have stayed back and watch the situation and i know awfully over time they could have done so but i think it just shows that the the west so eager to occupy that land on down to control the oil and. it would appear in this particular instance that's supporting the rebels who are clearly ill disciplined poorly equipped who do not have the mandate to control the country it is a poor decision because we can see now that it is not going to achieve anything marco fangirl you maybe just extract later on when we just heard it is nato look like the nato just think this is going to be a quick easy war i mean you can redeem itself after it's easy but humiliation i would say in afghanistan i mean or is it just d

with gadhafi alive, he said, would you bring your family home? most of the towns in these mountains were taken over by the rebels without much of a fight, but that won't be the case in garyan, that gadhafi stronghold, certainly not the case in tripoli, where everything seems to be under gadhafi's control. >> mike tiabbi in maloot, libya, tonight. mike, thanks and safe travels to you and your crew in that neighborhood, please. >>> and in syria today, what seemed to be payback towards the united states, after a bold trip by the u.s. ambassador, he visited the city of hama late last week to show support for the anti-government protesters and he was cheered upon arrival, but today, about 200 supporters of the assaad regime targeted the u.s. embassy building in damascus, throwing food, breaking windows and writing anti-american graffiti on the walls. the compound was protected by u.s. marines. when we come back here tonight, the moment all of greater los angeles has been dreading and it's almost here. >>> and later, someone who knew the betty ford we

an independent confidence colonel gadhafi has come out with the idea of an african development bank and african gold dinar those moves which could hugely lessen the poverty in africa and the dead indebtedness old african nations to the i.m.f. it's a problem also because he plans out as a rival to the dollar and the euro that was a mistake saddam hussein tried a similar thing in two thousand and he was invaded as well so it's not a clever idea for a medium right country with oil in it to actually be planning your own currency because the big the big powers on the west aren't too keen on that scenario so really he was a threat to them or reserves were very attractive to them very close to them and very high quality so really he takes all the boxes for a good invasion plus they had all historical scores to settle because kentucky came to power on the basis of removing a british puppet rule in the first place so i would say if they want to get rid of him let's libya let's let the people decide let's respect for the losers in those elections but let's hold elections and if mr gadhafi is

if they've retreated yet, gadhafi forces, or are they still there? >> i think they're still there, hiding in house and farms. >> reporter: the heavy artillery barrage did the job. dozens of these rockets and additional shelling by these seized gadhafi army tanks. the rebels have better weapons, including gadhafi's own, and better command and control. and by midday, they heard their ground forces had taken the first town and soon the second. they had suffered losses, these medics handled one casualty. >> how did the man die, was he shot, was it a mine? what happened? and nalut's hospital treated the wounded from both sides. >> translator: i was surprised gadhafi's men put up so little resistance, this rebel fighter told us. but this wasn't the taking of tripoli, only an essential operation to protect key ground won months ago. a victory, but not the victory. mike taibbi, nbc news, nalut, libya. >>> in this country we have a tropical storm coming to the texas coast, churning across the gulf of mexico tonight. it's not a big storm, and it lost some of i

that's the gadhafi way. the man has been around for a long time and has committed massive crimes against the ungs and still negotiated with him. he's now a war criminal. the international court has an indictment for crimes against humanity. what exactly do you have to offer this bandit. i don't think this report will mean much. >> so do you think it's a good idea? the idea is that they went to the for the first time represented the transitional counsel and a legitimate government of the libyan people and they decided to relay that face-to-face so they understood essentially, we've moved on, you have no choice, you must go, we must take your money and give it to them. >> john, we didn't have to sit down with gadhafi representatives to do that. we didn't do that in syria. it was very clear in the statement. we're not tied to him. he's not necessary. the fact is, you can make a very clear statement publicly and have it stick without sitting down face-to-face. there's an error of legitimacy that i convey sitting

gadhafi would want to stay in country. gadhafi wants all the international criminal charges dropped against him. what is apparent, i think, to everyone is until the noose fran talked about is tightened some more, he's probably not going to step down. what's surprising to me is i thought we had him on the run a few weeks ago. he was literally on the run in tripoli as the bombs fell. and then we sort of pulled back a little bit, and now we're left in this struggle that takes so long and so tedious, and even as support in both the united states and western europe is waning. >> and so, fran, is there anything nato can do to help with the nudge, if you will, or is this simply a matter of patience to see if the rebels can get their act together? >> going to what david gergen has just said, what nato needs to do is resume the targeting and many booibombing they were several weeks ago. one u.s. admiral in the nato command acknowledged that gadhafi himself is a legitimate target as the commander in chief of their military that targ

save gadhafi shared his ear on why his country is on that. so far as well thank you very much for joining us here on out there well in two thousand and eight you were welcomed in london tony blair embraced your father you received a ph d. from london school of economics and now just three years on. a targeted by nato missiles in your own country split by civil war why do you think has your fate turned so while a plea to good looks when put everybody. down for others. we heard. i mean we've got most of us from. many countries heard many news from iran north korea. this is your mistake you give up your weapons of mass destruction you are developing along great with style as your friend with the west and this is the result so what does it mean this is a message to everybody that you have your strong you never trust. and you have to be. on alert because those people who are the don't have friends over one eye to the mind understand. and the same thing could happen to any other country talking about mistakes and lessons what would you have done di

in fact, they're pro-gadhafi. and so every one of those towns they run into, the battles can be quite bloody and the aftermath quite messy. you saw the human rights watch report indicating that in towns that were known to be loyal to gadhafi there were lots of instances of vandalism, of burning of houses, of in some cases mistreatment of prisoners. so that sort of atmosphere is going to make it very difficult for them to really make progress towards tripoli unless of course there's an uprising in tripoli itself. and of course we've heard from people in tripoli that that's not something -- that is something that could happen. but it's just a question of when, anderson. >> when and how. ben wedeman, appreciate it. remarkable day today. i'm glad you and your crew, mary and everybody are okay. let's check the latest on some other stories, that isha sesay is following for us tonight. >> reporter: afghan president hamid karzai wept at his brother's burial today in the family's ancentral village. he was assassinated in h

she urged moammar gadhafi to step down during a joint press conference. gadhafi warned he would retaliate with attacks if nato doesn't stop attacking his regime. >> we appreciate spain's enforcement of the no-fly zone. the nato led mission is on track, the pressure on gadhafi is mounting. >> the u.s. and spain have said gadhafi's threats of attacks in europe won't deter the nato mission in libya. nato is operating under a u.n. security council resolution designed to protect people. >>> the duke and duchess of cambria are said to be relaxing today. prince william is following in the footsteps of his royal relatives. >> the royal couple got the royal treatment saturday as they began the third day of their canadian tour in ottawa. on their first official overseas trip as newlyweds. as they walk the grounds of government house, admirers of all ages tried to get a glimpse of prince william and kate. the couple was shovel ready as they helped plant a hemlock, an evergreentree known for longevity. with that, they continued a royal tradition. the queen and member

well france has just recently called for the rebels to negotiate with gadhafi and if the bombing will stop as soon as the are at the negotiating table this shows to me that nato is surrendering the surrendering process has begun i think. he is continuing just putting up a front of the moment to looking for a way sort of peace with honor withdrawal they can be. the scale of french but as a patient was why the link isn't it international internal rather politics going on in the country ahead of those presidential elections but do you think the psycho's who would win more votes if he withdrew from what looks like a terrible stalemate taking what you say looking for a way but it's kind of backfired on cozy isn't it if that is what he was trying to do gain political points at home. oh i think the whole thing's backfired on both cause the nato they thought was going to be an easy victory. i said way back when and then they should have negotiated with members tend their ground troops in the media glee the rebels were too weak to defeat what they were thinking they simply got caught up in. th

will stop store of course not because their goal is not gadhafi the goal is to control libya. is to control libya this is the target . and the libyans will not allow them to do that so the fight will continue what do you think about media war who's winning this war at the beginning the one. they want. or the one because it was planned from beginning to get out me is. collapsed that i was really. into it because the whole country. is still now suffering from that case but now the libyans are we are one day everybody and they were saying the libyan libyan navy is bombing the harbor off. ms there is in the middle of the desert is one thousand kilometers on here it is the libyan ships that are bombing the harbor of mr excuse me the security council issued the resolution against libya because of a fake media report saying that the libyan air force is bombing. civilian districts in tripoli and killing seven thousand people we started with the past let me finish with the future. it's knowing that you get a message from the front that there will be no place for you in a post-war libya

well it's a very strange situation all round because britain formally recognized the government to gadhafi indeed we were providing arms and training for his forces until march of this year huge amount of trade with libya we did a vast amount of investment in britain then the war started in libya britain and france joined in nato joined in the persuaded the un to pass one hundred seventy three which is allegedly a no fly zone and now they've decided they're going to switch horses and expel the diplomats from. tripoli and replace them with the people from benghazi will seems to me that we are now deeply involved in the civil war in effectively trying to play judge and jury on the future of libya surely the future of libya is for the libyan people to sort not west americans ok thank you very much for your insight there jeremy corbyn a british opposition labor party m.p. and peace campaigner thank you. now russia has harshly criticized america's decision to impose travel restrictions on a group of russian officials linked to the case of a lawyer who died in jail so the game admits he died aft

they're all training a little discipline we're angelou's shifting support back to colonel gadhafi where he lives inside and up again but you might you mention the issue of will the rebels how have resources the frozen oil assets of kid after being handed over to the rebels now i must ask you where is the money going is it just lining the pockets of the new transitional council so they can buy luxury yachts and big fancy cars or is it perhaps a way to bait them so that western west the west can have more of a presence in libya to have more of a control on its natural resources who are of course it's difficult to avoid the conclusion that the crisis now who is in certain great deal of how to oil and one of the problems has been that the rebels thought that very quickly they would get hold of the oil assets and capacity to turn all exports into money haven't been able to operate the oil fields at all they need money to maintain their forces because a they need money her social services such as well but also we need money lisa by support and i'm afraid one subterranean aspect of this confli

well as promised start talks exclusively with the colonel's son with both gadhafi is wanted at the hague and targeted by nato saif al islam shared his view on why his country's under attack that's our exclusive interview next on r.t. . thank you very much for joining us here on out. well in two thousand and eight you were welcomed in london tony blair brace your father you received your ph d. from london school of economics and now just three years on media fail and targeted by nato missiles in your own country split by civil war why do you think has your fate turned so violently to goodness one body for one for others. we heard. i mean we got messages from. many countries. with many news from iran north korea saying this is your mistake you give up your weapons of mass destruction you will stop developing along great if you start you'll be here and got a friend with the worst of this that is on seoul with me this is a message to everybody that you have you strong you never trust them and you have to be or was. it because those people are going to don't have friends over what i did to th

no i think although the official reason originally was of course to prevent colonel gadhafi. look moments in practice very quickly be us a little british and french club was announced that they wanted regime change they wanted colonel gadhafi to go and i think they rather cavalierly thought that he would collapse very quickly it started and his regime is more resilient instead of the new york you know to power is very inadequate for an awful council of currency it's quite a promise so that we really went into this war was almost a of national in south dakota we flew to venezuela was william hague really anymore as well you know you can you know i'm sorry to interrupt you talk about when when the western forces and allied forces went into this war it was supposed to be humanitarian mission now if i may just for a moment according to media reports gadhafi now controls are more territory than before no doubt started bombing does the alliance think that the libyan leader is going to surrender looks like he's taking fairly well at this point. well i think certainly doing much bett

david, gadhafi spoke today. anger in his voice, making a very, very specific threat, threatening europe. >> that's right, those images, a very large crowd, certainly the biggest we've seen in tripoli here. a day of anger, as he called it, and certainly as he said, he made a direct threat towards europe. he said because of the nato campaign here, that nato says is bombing targets to protect civilians, he's saying that they're going to target houses and families in europe. that it's a fair military target. it will be an eye for an eye. he likened the response of the libyian people to a swarm of locusts. we're hearing from his only daughter. she did an interview with french television and one of her quotes, we are ready to alie ourselves with the devil of the rebel army. what do you make of what she's saying now? >> there hasn't been any proof of direct talks with the rebels. devils, as she put it. not the best way to call the side of the conflict devils. so much rhetoric between these two sides. and people day i d

the war in libya at the focal point of international relations artie's gave access to colonel gadhafi son and nato targeted tripoli saif al islam thinks his country is wanted for its riches but says the people will keep fighting to make sure libya doesn't fall under foreign control. today i was swimming and fishing was very hard at what we went to the beach. so we are in our country enjoying our life fighting for our country living with our people off we live we live in our country where we would if we die we go to heaven and they destroyed our house in the middle of. area small house surrounded by many houses people living near this small school next to them the bond that house with all. the killed my brother he hung civilian he had nothing to do with the war with politics he was studying in germany because of the war he came back to libya he was there sleeping because. what nato said that we born in a command and control center. with a two bedroom kitchen living room small house this is it give you an example from my family let alone many other examples one week ago they had a house

change and then all of a sudden it starts sliding back into this well we don't seek regime change but gadhafi must go. and so now the real question is how do you remove a man from power. do you put him in asylum that one of the things is putting him in asylum but within libya but i don't really necessarily know how that's going to work either will i don't think it will work i don't think that if gadhafi is in them or do you say is get out if you do believe it because he himself seems pretty confident these that he was he did look worried this couple of weeks but now he seems confident oh yes he's got staying power that is not. many he's got staying power so long as need to cannot fight a war effectively which it cannot do. because it's fighting within the bounds of the u.n. security council resolution. it's not going to really be able to step up its efforts unless it goes back to the security council and another resolution is passed which one wonders the viability of us russia has refused to recognize the libyan rebels as the only legitimate authority in the country spotlights you know the me

after recent remarks by the french defense minister suggesting that the rebels should talk to colonel gadhafi that in turn spy rumors that one of the most active advocates of the nato led invasion might be starting to back pedal on the campaign and as artie's during a bushel reports now anxiety is growing in paris. what was intended to be a short living mission is turning into an embarrassing long haul. a knock out that linkage. books is like bragging will destroy their opponents they're often wrong and gets a mill city surprise i french foreign minister allen should pay both did france would win libya in quote days or weeks the war's into a fourth month no final round inside nicolas sarkozy with his western allies seeing short little opponents fighting back well it's not just an embarrassment for sarkozy it's an embarrassment for all nato for the whole west paris even admits all being libya's rebels but on some somalia. when should they be up for training within the last two or three years. documented we have to fly records and everything else so it seems strange and many ways the whole west

ambushed by gadhafi loyalists. get down! get down! we're leaving this area because there's gun fire all around us, and we believe gadhafi forces are doing a round about movement, so we are rushing out of this area. >> are you all right, guys? >> reporter: everybody is fine. we are going as fast as we can. we can't tell -- -- is the other car behind us. >> yes. >> reporter: there's a lot of gun fire. it's continuing to come through. gadhafi forces apparently have -- we were in the town just the other day, and the rebels took it on the 6th of july, and there has been talk they have been gathering up forces, and it looks like the counter attack is going on right now. but the coalition on this day was lightly defended at best. we came back to the check point about halfway between the town that is apparently fallen, and we have been told we need to go back further, and you can see the traffic is only going back in one direction, nothing that way. >> they're running away with their weapons, this man shouts. he is fleeing with his wife and s

yes colonel gadhafi son saif al islam tells our t. that he believes the court has nothing to do with establishing justice that's in an exclusive interview next on r.t. . so far as well thank you very much for joining us here on out t v well in two thousand and eight you were welcomed in london tony blair embraced your father you received your ph d. from london school of economics and now just three years on media targeted by nato missiles in your own country split by civil war why do you think has your face turned so while a plea to some reading for others. we heard. most of us from. many countries. from iran. this is your mistake you give up your purpose of mass destruction you will stop developing. you'll be here and go to friendly with the worst and this is the result so. this is a message to everybody that you have your strong and never trust them. you have to be. alert because those in the don't have friends over one night because your mind understands. and the same thing could happen to any other country talking about mistakes a

the rebels at the beginning of the information national transitional council blames the killing on gadhafi supporters and claims to have arrested the head of the group responsible exact consequences of a liver and on the compound this alleged nations. that's according to what it finds tries to turn his anti terrorism caucus. the consequences of his killing could be either short ramification or vaster mitigations if indeed he was only an individual or even a high ranking official who had still relationships with with the gadhafi regime then his killing would be it would be the end of the story by if it's the other case is he and others inside the council the interim council of the bin ghazi power have been in opposition to another force a militia force it could be other little two opponents it could be the islamist militia of the jihadist or another tribe if the case is deeper than the concern is more serious in the west that there could be more clashes in the future or more tensions within the military camp at a time where the rebel seems to be on the offensive so we're going to wait and s

said former gadhafi air force colonel, who's now fighting for the rebels. is that good news for you to hear? >> exactly, it's very, very good news and gives us more of a chance to give freedom to our people and our country, especially. >> reporter: the chances for a rebel victory seemed limited in our two visits to the changing front line earlier in the week. we all stick together, right? okay. >> reporter: we saw very young fighters going into battle with home made rocket launchers and then scattering with gadhafi's heavier artillery landed close by. the rebels have been left with a catch-as-catch-can arsenal. weapons seized from gadhafi's troops were made from scratch, or with children doing the cleaning, salvage from a discard pile. still, the rebels did retake qawalish, both sides suffering casualties, but the front line scraping past one more war-torn town. like so many other places in the mountains where the fighting has ebbed and flowed, this tiny village is now a ghost town, nobody here but soldiers. now it's rebel soldiers who are here, and if they
