in libya, he is told. they show the supplies that he had with him after his father's regime was tackled. he also carried with him a warning, that the country would see new divisions and that the former rebels still in charge would bring no good to libya. >> regarding the people of misrata, bin qazi, you consider them your brothers. go-ahead, give them a couple of months or maximum a year, you will see. >> he has been a doctor for his injured right hand which he said was heard in a bombing raid. we spoke to the surgeon who saw him. >> i found him in good condition physically and mentally. maybe he was a little scared about the situation and i saw a one to two fingers on his right hand. >> he is held somewhere here in the mountain town where he was brought after his capture. his whereabouts have remained a closely guarded secret. and this man had wanted to see him in court in the hague but he now seems to have accepted a message from the libyans, that saif islam will be tried in the country that he committed

is it possible well some people might say that in libya libya is not egypt after all first of all the americans and all of us can expel it was it still haven't analyzed the and he could duffey forces and see what they're made up of this is just plain unprofessional after all there might have been some democratic group there displeased it elfie but mostly there are tribes you see. so you think libya is not going to become a fundamentalist islamic state. nobody knows when libya is going to recover from its chaos look at iraq for example it's been more than eight years old and we still can't stabilize the situation at t.v. never stops reporting new casualties fifteen thirty to every day in iraq bombs explosions and so on have been so regularly that people used to. think this is normal but it's chaos over eight and a half years of occupation would be nothing they can do in libya it's going to topple so i don't think they've had much success in libya. according to as a levada center survey twenty five percent of russians believe could be was killed for knowing too much well at any rate the

one of the key points of the current nato strategy is to save guard democracy in the world when libya's gadhafi started to shell the rising opposition the alliance decided to intervene in just a few months because the new regime in the country taking almost no casualties the libya mission is now considered a model of a successful peacekeeping nato operation but many fear the alliance may assume the role of the world's policeman and start spreading democracy wherever it is design. is a privilege to have you in the studio thank you for coming thank you for the invitation ok well at first of all let's discuss the nature of russian matters since you're here since you're in moscow well. one of the problem is in the relations between nato and russia is there is that list and she'll think yes well they loaned it steps to deploy in this town defense in europe and russia feels that you know discussing it with moscow well russia has labeled it i quote a policy of established facts that is what how russia calls this may sound deployment this isn't to provoke growing tension between the two countri

that's nato troops are wrapping up that can pay libya are going to ask scott is the president of the alliance of parliamentary assembly what the intervention was justified that's coming up next in our need to be sure. culture is that so much of what is about the feeling goes i think if i'm going to give it real and be my principle the party is finally over at least it was twenty years ago the end of the communist party of the soviet union was the final step before the collapse of the you. know we're going to walk into the spotlight. today my guest in the studio is karl blabbers. the world survey libyan leader muammar gadhafi is dead after nearly a year of violence he was captured and massacred by a furious crowd now the dictator is gone and so is the nato support force the alliance tell downs of packing their bags to fly back while the world speculates if the intervention was the right thing or not many say should not have supported just one side of. the final good premature to withdraw now all of the good that his supporters are. so wouldn't it have been reasonable to stay and secur

they made one against libya a few months ago and this is the second one. this is not an everyday occurrence that they do this. they do this because after about 4000 people killed, they have little appetite for any kind of support for the syrian regime. >> you mentioned 4000, there has been another 40 reported killed it just yesterday. then we saw the situation in tahrir square. with the expectations that we had at the beginning of this year and real changes in the region, are we overreaching? >> the optimism came from this dramatic notion that change will come instantaneously. overnight it will move from autocratic regimes to democracy. that is unrealistic. no one should be expecting t army to be a protector of democracy. it was clear that the image of the army as the protector of democracy in egypt is over and they will have to come up with a different plan and accelerate a takeover by the civilians. >> thank you very much for coming in. >> thank you. >> in other news, pakistan's ambassador to washington, husain haqqani, has resigned in the wake of the ac

roll the tape. >> so you agree with president obama on libya or not? >> okay, libya. (laughter) (laughter and applause) wow! wow! holy (bleep). it's like he's trying to down lead to answer but... (laughter). it's stwhraws little ball is spinning, he's just buffering! >> president obama supported the uprising, correct? president obama called for the removal of qaddafi. i just want to make sure we're talking about the same thing before i say yes i agree or no i didn't agree. >> jon: i just want to say something here. this is not a spelling be where you can just ask the moderator for the language of origin to buy yourself some time. "could you use that in a sentence?" (laughter) like "most conservative republican voters feel president obama's handling of libya was--" (laughter) blank. (cheers and applause) i'm sure he was getting around to answering the question at hand. >> i do not agree with the way he handled it for the following reasons: um... no, that's a different one. (laughter and applause) >> jon: (whispering) i am falling in love with you. (laughter) that's a d

each other are they somehow related or not particularly what i see all these conflicts the decision to libya the crisis with the dollar the crisis with the american economy and the conduct of american foreign policy in the last period is all part of a breakdown of the entire super power structure that was built up after being under the world war two and nobody in washington wants to admit just as nobody in britain a hundred years ago wanted to admit that the british empire was in terminal decline all of this is related to the attempt to keep this sole superpower not only intact but to spread its influence over the rest of the planet and that. not surprisingly much of the world is not too eager to see that so would you say that what's happening in the middle in the middle east or northern africa right now is basically an attempt on the behalf of the united states to keep its came up very much so the. plan was first announced by george w. bush when he was president just after the invasion of iraq in two thousand and three at a g eight meeting and it was called the greater middle east project a

best and also let's not forget that libya was just number one in africa and possibly that out of all this well before before the war and this was an assessment made by the united nations well the international criminal court and the. sort of what has happened there's no carry on carry on there's a bit of a delay with the line here do carry on please. ok thank you. what happened what has happened is that the western interest has toppled the most successful country and africa. that's not really helping the syrian population. all right well interesting enough the international criminal law did announce last week that they may consider bringing charges against nato military chiefs that was announced not long ago how encouraged are you by that i personally. know see the i.c.c. smore like in the toolbox of. the american empire if you will. but i mean it's a step in the right direction i would all the see it is so i would rather see the swedish forces sorted out by the swedish courts court system but very well for the swedish forces but also you want to see the swedish government brought to

and first it was egypt then libya the path toward revolution is not as smooth a road as many expected in fact it's downright rugged so as the arab spring last throughout the winter and blood once again stains tucker square who is really benefiting from all this unrest and could syria be the next. it's monday november twenty eighth five pm in washington d.c. i'm christine for you watching our team was begin this evening with the crisis in the euro zone president obama met today with members of the european union here in washington d.c. meeting comes at a time in which many see the eurozone as being on life support after economic collapse seems to be spreading and we've already seen greece portugal and ireland bailed out on the other the euro zone's third and fourth largest economies italy and spain are also under threat today's meeting is seen by some as a last ditch attempt to save the euro zone but even some top experts predicting the euro zone. has just ten days left to live if a major solution is not found by its next meeting on december next certainly whatever happens could have a

or have emanated from libya those there's a very definite libyan strain to al-qaeda. but absent organized force i don't i don't necessarily use but the rebirth but obviously it's hiding in the magreb is there could they try to take advantage of a failure in the transition in libya absolutely could absolutely. ah. that's the tom foreman and mobile home told me oh creation of the global food system the global food system is not created to feed the people of the world is created to maximize the profits. sure not trading the actual physical grain or trading promises for the grain to be delivered a month or six months or twelve months or eighteen months in the future. for is a commodity like labor silver or gold that can be negotiated and afforded some degree of. the be. water from. possibly it's not traded now but it could be in the future. if. it. is if you think. you. need to. see. the big.

nobody knows what shape libya is going to take in the future. if things go well, libya can become not a democratic model state, but to solve its internal differences by peaceful means. we have to imagine that each and everyone carries a gun. there are so many groups, islamic fundamentalists, people that yearn for the old bygone regime. it will be interesting to see how libya will evolve in the next few months. >> there are numerous reports of libya weapons showing up in lebanon and gaza. >> this is what we read and hear, but there is no real proof for the time being that this is the case. there might be smuggling going on, but there is no confirmed information on this. it is five times the size of great britain and many things are possible in terms of smuggling. >> lee will be back with more in just a moment. as the old colonial demarcations show signs of dissolving the, the single most unifying force in the region is as long -- islam. the party wants to establish a secular islamic state. it breaks the power of the western-backed technocrats. an

companies to get involved in the reconstruction of libya philip hammond is urging c.e.o.'s and sales directors to pack their suitcases and head to the north african country the u.k.'s bill for its part in the nato intervention in libya is estimated at just under five hundred million dollars but according to the u.k. department of trade and investment the value of contracts to rebuild libya in areas ranging from electricity and water supplies to health care and education could amount to put some three hundred billion dollars over the next ten years and the british government will make sure it takes a leading role in that just as it did in the war and that's raising more questions about the u.k.'s motives in playing such a big role in the recent conflict john hillery of war on want says it has shades of post-war iraq when companies from countries involved in the allied invasion were awarded all the best gigs. we destroy. journalist john pilger says there was evidence of battering before nato even got involved actually a transitional council told the french way. they were giv

and western corporations the centerpoint oil rich libya seeking to exploit the riches left following bombing mission our top stories this hour. and a russian court has handed spoiled major when it is legal battle with minority shareholders it is russian oil think that the people who are in business in trying to minutes. international news in comment from this is r.t. with twenty four hours a day italy has lashed its perceived lethargic bureaucracy into action as it seeks to rush a critical story of the package through both houses of parliament the nation's president has promised once the law is passed him silvio berlusconi will resign and his possible successor being a former e.u. commissioner when of course is in rome with more from the. a lot of the people a lot of the m.p.'s we've been speaking to here in the last couple of days they want to send a very clear message to the markets to the international community that they can take decisive action now at a very critical moment and it's lead history now we saw that they posses reasonably easily today hundred fifty six days to twelve

situation in the in libya what we saw in libya is something that russia really does not want to see happen in syria also the syrian opposition who are here in moscow last week their leaders also saying they did not want to see a civil outcome is what happened in libya where international intervention took place. send that straight intervention straying and we'll be on the parameters of un resolutions that will lay down this type of outcome is something that both russia and the syrians want to avoid happening in that country. in spite of all of our reporting from central moscow christopher a writer on middle east affairs for the world socialist web site believes the arab league wants us starts regime to go i was never interested in helping in the first place but i think first of all you have the efforts of the arab league would be designed to fail. this is not a genuine effort of conflict resolution on the part of the other belief because they are a bleak place in the ultimatum before the assad regime in syria they couldn't possibly meet is that they would abandon all military action

aspect of it as you mentioned moments ago with libya the u.n. resolution one item three of course appetite and humanitarian campaign but the arab league is now discussing sanctions against syria you brought the u.n. into the equation is it possible that the u.n. and the arab league could work together on this perhaps that their motives in some stretch or another could be similar. i think that's absolutely right i mean you know let's not be too idealistic about these international that isolation as i've said what i've said about the arab league at the same is true of the u.n. the u.n. on many occasions in the past has been used as an instrument of american power let's put it as simply as that or a piece of western power resolutions have been voted in the security council on libya for example let's never forget that the sanctions regime the terrible sanctions regime which iraq lived under and under which so many iraqis died for ten years after the first iraq war that was administered by the united nations so let's not put too much faith in these i

that's the reality of life in libya. all a legacy of colonel gaddafi's buildup after a stock smile pile of four decades of being in power. they are being asked to stamp out the proliferation of the looted arms and say they could fall into the hands of al qaeda and other militant groups. >> the battle of libya. a brutal conflict that left countless dead. the u.n. is worried some of the arms could fall into the hands of al qaeda and other militant groups. >> help in accelerating the process of peace building and peacemaking in the region when people disarm. then peace follows. >> many weapons were destroyed in nato air strikes like these, but officials say it's not clear how many are still in circulation. nato ended its operations in libya on monday but it's offered to help the interim government. >> i have offered n.t.c., our assistance, if we can be of help in the transformation of libya from dictatorship to democracy. for instance, when it comes to reform of their defense and security, their defense and security sector.

but in what way are the people of libya by all accounts a lost for nato intervention to help them take make sure that the regime change does take place so nato was merely doing what it was also the was not ok. no it's absolutely because. i think the number of jihadists the number eight thousand. nato i understand it's no nato information when the war started and up doesn't rebellion. and also let's not forget libya was ranked as number one in africa and possibly the other world as well before before the war and this was an assessment made by the united nations relief international criminal so . it's sort of what has happened here so no carry on carry on there's a bit of a delay with our line here do carry on please. ok thank you. what happened what has happened is the. western interests topple the most successful country and africa. that's not really helping the syrian population. all right well interesting enough the international criminal law did announce last week that they may consider bringing charges against nato military chiefs not was announced not long ago how encouraged are y

human rights council in january of two thousand and eleven was praising libya for its stance on human rights and in february a group of seventy n.g.o.s got together to file a letter to basically protesting what could i think the government and within a few days the u.n. human rights council could be discussion session in which they condemned libya and i think we see a similar pattern happening here where these human rights groups are used being used as a way of funneling stories so. there's no way to attribute them there's no way to verify them there's no we don't know whether or not these events are really happening at all and the latest example in fact it's just breaking now is that apparently they're trying to say that they're on the cease fire has already been broken by. syrian troops are firing on citizens in that and we're already hearing that it is interesting how you draw the comparison between libya and syria and you raise the issue of these are human rights groups and these so-called human rights campaigns that are any of these reports about actually legitimate of course as

colonel gadhafi is most influential son saif ali islam is to stand trial in libya despite concerns over the country's justice system and speculation he held information in the west would rather bury. and russia sends a strong signal to nato countries this week over their planned missile shield in eastern europe as moscow warns of deploying its own strike systems unless it's assured it's not a target. i know that some foreign states pay money to influence the election campaign in the country and it is a waste of time and a waste of money firstly because judas is not the most respected character in the bible and secondly they should rule the channel this money into settling this state don't last some words of advice from prime minister put in as he is officially nominated by the ruling united russia party as its candidate to run for president in next year's election. very warm welcome to you this is r.t. it's now three am here in moscow with our round up of our top stories from the past seven days as we go to our top story now into her square you have the scene of mass demonstrations the

from defiance to defend colonel gadhafi as most influential son will stand trial in libya despite concerns that the usual system is a shambles and a fair hearing could be impossible. russia gets stirred overplaying u.s. missile shield in eastern europe as president medvedev warns of deploying strikes systems less moscow's assured it's not a target plus. it would use you know you can do that i gratefully accept my nominations to candidates for bush's presidential election. he did a. lot of your putin formally chosen as the ruling united russia party candidate for the country's top job. for pm in moscow i met tresor bring you today's top stories in a look back at the week's news here on r t we start in egypt where clashes and political instability continue to rage just a day before the country's first parliamentary election since the fall of hosni mubarak the muslim brotherhood branded a terrorist movement in some countries claims it set to win a majority of the seats for more on this we turn live to our teas and he said no way who joins us from tahrir square now a nice and so how are the pe

chief or others zero edging libya to secure could use that weapons that when you've got a country such as this where so many millions of people are armed is it realistic to think about disarming the population is that even possible it's neither possible nor realistic sir you know with the main one of the main goals in afghanistan when we went there was to disarm the population the population is better armed today than it was in two thousand and one if we were concerned about those arsenals we would have secured them when the nato operation started in february or march many of those arsenals are already emptied some of those weapons have turned up in somalia and other places we have just created enormous reinforcement in terms of the people who are released from libyan prisons and in terms of supplies of weapons for the islamists across north africa if we can provide it so let's address the political life of libya i think the new prime minister actually lived in the u.s. some of the thirty years of his his selections suggest the new government is seeking a leader that is possible to the

first to officially recognize the opposition as libya's only legitimate government first to strike with libya now in the rearview mirror syria appears to be the next stop france is once again but first western nations suggest an international ground intervention in syria calling for a quote secured zone to protect civilians and first to endorse the exiled opposition syrian national council plans is a county where human beings and is very very popular agreement between most of the left and most of the hype about that and sarkozy as the savior of the intervention so it seems to me that the small even more aggressive than obama would be even though he doesn't have the military strength of the us and sweeping popularity at home is what suckles he needs if he intends to let the french decide his fate as president of the twenty twelve elections it's trying president nicolas sarkozy talks about the syrian crisis he spoke. to keep those that know he's really really. bad situation when when it comes to the polls and he's using certain craziness as a way to. to or to be seen as proactive the way

a human rights group says the number of revenge killings by revolutionary forces in libya is escalating sharply the watchdog claims and t.c. fall it is a terrorizing displaced residents of the coastal town of to work for supporting the regime and one of the authors of the report fred abrahams from human rights watch believes that nato countries must do more to strengthen democratic forces there in the bia. well in some places the violence is quite bad the town we looked out in was called and the militias from the neighboring town of misrata are terrorizing the people of to where they accuse them of having fought for qaddafi of having committed atrocities. in his name and you know the problem here is that the militias are not under the control of the political authorities the civilian authorities and that's the big challenge for libya going forward is bringing the many militias under a unified civilian command and that will help solve this problem there is definitely a trend to say we did the right thing meaning nato governments they want to say that this was a successful operation so th

future civil servants and it wasn't just britain according to gadaffi libya funded nicolas sarkozy's path to the presidency but i get that he's full from favor was sudden and spectacular according to safe their former friends have been trying. to cover up any links since turning against them desperate to stave off a trial at the international criminal court. under the what they are trying to negotiate with us a deal that if you accept this deal we will take you at the care of the court what does. it means is is controlled by those countries. which i think yes but then i don't think it's going to be in anyone's interest for this to promote the new government in libya want blood that's my reading of it europe wants silence and wants to do is move on attractive because of course the hypocrisy in the double dealing with europe with one hand condemning human rights abuses rather limited kind of way the same time get porting daffy's enemies back to libya who were tortured almost at the very point when tony blair was meeting about it in the tent so i think there's an awful lot of truths tha

state based on sharia law is it possible well some people might say that in libya libya is not egypt after all first of all the americans and all of westminster still haven't analyzed and he doesn't forces and see what they made up of this is just plain unprofessional after all they might have been some democratic group there displeased with it africa but mostly there are tribes you see. so you think libya is not going to become up on the modalists islamic state. nobody knows when libya is going to recover from its chaos look at iraq for example it's been more than eight years old and we still can't stabilize the situation the t.v. never stops reporting new casualties fifteen thirty to every day in iraq explosions and so on have been so regular people used to. think this is normal but it's chaos over age and a half years of occupation have been nothing they could do in libya it's going to turn so i don't think they've had much success in libya. according to the levada center survey twenty five percent of russians believe cut off he was killed for knowing too much well at any rate the

mission in libya but now there is a full scale western invasion and the g. corporations are queuing up to do business with the new government which is rewarding the military victory with lucrative oil and gas contracts bodies laura smith looks at how the harvest of war is being raped. first british bombs tourists apart now british companies will get paid to put it back together libya is open for business and u.k. firms are being encouraged to join the gold rush is a relatively wealthy country with oil reserves and i expect that there will be opportunities for british. companies to get involved in the reconstruction of libya philip hammond is urging c.e.o.'s and sales directors to pack their suitcases and head to the north african country the u.k.'s bill for its part in the nato intervention in libya is estimated at just under five hundred million dollars but according to the u.k. department of trade and investment the value of contracts to rebuild libya in areas ranging from electricity and water supplies to health care and education could amount to puts of

also the nature of the way in syria libya are so different in libya talking about a very large country would be very. population density of the population in libya i think is three or four persons per square kilometer or syria it's probably a thousand person per square and the military intervention in the way happened in libya would be disastrous as for civilian casualties or so and it's also not clear whether the west is in a mood to include. in syria in the same way it intervened in libya. but then again. one wouldn't rule out completely such a scenario especially if the cost benefit analysis shows that without the military intervention more and more civilians will be killed by the regime or that the country will slide into a violent and bloody civil war there have already been cases of sectarian violence in syria hell be the chances of the country sliding into a sectarian rift this is this is a major fear for the syrian people they look at iraq and they say we don't want to repeat in syria what we've seen happening in iraq before so it is of course a measure of risk that the whole c

nobody knows when libya is going to recover. from kills look at iraq for example it's been more than eight years and they still can't stabilize the situation the t.v. never stops reporting new casualties fifteen dead thirty dead every day in iraq bombs explosions and so on it could happen so regularly that people get used to it we start thinking this is normal but it's kills over eight and a half years of occupation there's been nothing we could do in libya it's going to be even tougher so i don't think we've had much success in libya. according to the levada center survey twenty five percent of russians believe gadhafi was killed for knowing too much at any rate the years media wrote that washington had discussed various actions regarding gadhafi terminations of his life among others. the busted finally we've been watching syria and it looks now like the un rest has receded and an election is coming up do you think when this election happens bashar al assad can remain in power. i think in the case of a fair election he can rema

libya. but again. one wouldn't to rule out completely such a scenario especially if the cost benefit analysis shows that without the military intervention more and more civilians would be killed by the regime or that the country would slide into a violent and bloody civil war there have already been cases of sectarian violence in syria hell be that the chances of the country sliding into a sectarian rift this is this is a major fear for the syrian people and they look at iraq and they say we don't want to repeat in syria what we've seen happening in iraq before so it is of course a measure of risk that. whole country slide into a civil war that will have a six aspect to it. let's just hope that this doesn't turn out to be the case it could possibly be the case. especially again as i said the violence continues it gets to a point of no return there's so much anger violence could be six on dynamics let's hope that it doesn't get to the and somehow before things get to this point of moving and something w

first british poems tourists apart now british companies will get paid to put it back together libya is open for business and u.k. firms are being encouraged to join the gold rush is a relatively wealthy country with oil reserves and i expect that there will be opportunities for british and indeed other cunt companies to get involved in the reconstruction of philip hammond is urging c.e.o.'s and sales directors to pack their suitcases and heads to the north african country the u.k.'s bill for its part in the nato intervention in libya is estimated at just under five hundred million dollars but according to the u.k. department of trade and investment the value of contracts to rebuild libya in areas ranging from electricity and water supplies to health care and education could amount to upwards of three hundred billion dollars over the next ten years and the british government will make sure it takes a leading role in that just as it did in the war and that's raising more questions about the u.k.'s motives in playing such a big role in the recent conflict john hillery of war on want sa

for democracy and cooperation in paris says the move echoes the build up to foreign involvement in libya. the french proposal has been to create a humanitarian corridor and this is where the similarity with libya lies i'm sure your viewers remember the libyan campaign was started off in the name of huge humanitarian operation to protect civilians now the french the british and american still to get the united nations resolution on this but they are trying effectively the same thing again they're trying to get humanitarian aid or they say they're trying to get humanitarian aid in there but i think that russia and the world in general should regard this initiative with the greatest possible skepticism we know from libya that the claims made about massacres of civilians were untrue we know that they were exaggerated and they were manipulated for the purpose of overthrowing gadhafi in my view the same motives are at force here if a humanitarian corridor is opened it will allow among other things secret service agents to penetrate into syria and there they will presumably be there with the go

also the nature of the way in syria with libya are so different in libya talking about a very large country would be very. population density of the population in libya i think is three or four persons per one square kilometer syria it's probably a thousand person per square and the military intervention in the way happened in libya would be disastrous as for civilian casualties or so and it's also not clear whether the west is. doing. really in syria in the same way to intervene in libya. but again. one wouldn't completely such a scenario especially if the cost benefit analysis shows that without the military intervention more and more civilians will be killed by the regime or that the country will slide into a violent and bloody civil war there have already been cases of sectarian violence in syria held the chances of the country sliding into a sectarian rift this is this is a major fear for the syrian people they look at iraq and they say we don't want to repeat in syria what we've seen happening in iraq before so it is of course a measure of risk that the whole country slide into a civi
