>> you're watching "the journal." >> welcome. >> here are the headlines. i am not going anywhere, muammar qaddafi tells his country he is staying in power and will die a martyr. the arabs now to assist the democracy in south america. a city rattled. new zealand's christchurch shaken by a strong earthquake and dozens are dead. captioned by the national captioning institute --www.ncicap.org-- >> he says he is not giving up. muammar qaddafi told the country

he will not step down on facebook and warned more people will die. he blames the unrest on what he called cowards and traders. it is hard to know what is going on inside the country. what we do know is libyan diplomats are breaking with the regime and there are reports numerous tribes have denounced their ties to muammar qaddafi. >> he delivered his angry address from a symbolic location, the ruins of one of his palaces which was damaged in 1986 for retaliation for a bombing. the libyan leader says his caught -- country has fought and won against nuclear powers. >> muammar qaddafi is not occupying the position to resign from the way other presidents

did. he is a leader of a revolution. >> but his support appears to be dwindling. politicians are distancing themselves from his regime. >> [unintelligible] to stop killing of libyan people and to take action. >> in these images men are carrying weapons and ammunition from the libyan military. there are reports soldiers have joined the ranks and people involved in the opposition control the border with egypt. this situation is unclear but on tuesday images of the damaged building were broadcast.

witnesses say there were air strikes against demonstrators on monday with as many as 150 dead. but muammar qaddafi addressed nine of this in his speech. he condemned the revolt against him and swore to die as a martyr. >> let's get analysis of this speech. i am joined by my experts on this region. we were watching this speech together. would you say muammar qaddafi is a maniac lost in his own reality? >> absolutely. he lives in his dream world. he has not understood things are very serious for him. he is not willing to give power to anyone. this spells trouble for libya because it will mean a bloody end to his rule. >> do you take him seriously when he says or people will die?

>> he does not care about hundreds of thousands of libyans dying. he wants to cling to power because he knows his own tribe will be massacred and he wants to cling to power for this very reason. he stands a good chance of ending like the late dictator. >> he is not learning from the lessons. you could almost see the erosion of power. are there enough supporters in the country to help him make this promise of bloodshed come true? >> his tribe will follow him to the very end. the rest of the country made it clear they will not follow him. many former it -- many formerly loyal tribes to the south of tripoli have renounced their support for this leader, so there is no way for him to get

back to power. it is only a matter of time before he has to resign. >> let's talk about the numbers. you say his tribe will stick with him to the end. are there enough people to create this chaos and bloodshed? >> definitely not. he has to fly-people from africa. this is very dangerous because it means more violence and more dead people. there is no chance for his small tribe -- it is a very small tribe which carries the same name as himself. it is difficult for him. his tribe is worried there will be a night [unintelligible] >> revenge may come. thanks for your analysis of this. >> there are reports the arab league has decided to suspend

libya from its meeting. a statement says libya will be excluded until authorities respond to demands of protesters and guarantee the security of the people there. the eu's foreign-policy chief has condemned the violence. she was on a visit to egypt where she met the head of the arab league. there are reports coming from the u.s. for action against libya. we are getting at least one suggestion coming from john kerry, a senior center in the u.s. that sanctions will be reimposed on libya. what are the chances the white house will sign off on that? >> so far the white house has stepped to the position they have had for the past few days

saying they wanted the violence to stop and wanted libyans to choose their own destiny. secretary of state hillary clinton may have sharpened the tone a little bit. what was surprising was she openly said they had trouble of making sense of what was happening on the ground. this shows you how weak these ties are compared to the time is the u.s. administration had with egypt. -- compared to the ties the u.s. had with egypt. >> we understand the un security meeting has been meeting behind closed doors. do you know what has been coming out of the talks? >> the first meeting was a procedural meeting. the most important to thank to come out of that was they will meet again. that is what experts are coming -- expecting to come out of

that. we don't really expect any decision on things like sanctions or no-fly zones. it is too early for that. although it is a special meeting you have so many different participants. china or russia who hesitate more for fear to to do what they call interfering in other countries. probably what we will see is a joint statement. >> thank you very much. the algerian government says it has approved a plan to lift the state of emergency that has been in effect for 19 years. they did not name an exact fine. is was one of the government's first concessions to protest. hundreds of students marched in the capital despite a ban on demonstrations.

political upheaval has raised fears algeria could see similar unrest. protests in bahrain have forced concessions from the government there. rulers said they will open dialogue with opposition groups to relief -- release political prisoners. one person called for more serious steps to democracy and the investigation into killings of on armed protesters last week. in yemen, several people are reported injured when fights broke out in the capital. demonstrators demanding the ouster of the president and his supporters clashed with the university. the president insists he will not step down before the end of his term in 2013. let's get some news on what the european union is planning to do

with aid. >> the head of the lending agency says it is ready to double its funding to north africa over the next few years. the european investment bank is helping tunisia and egypt make the shift to democracy. >> the eu is planning to support north african states with general loans from the investment bank. they will open to the tune of 6 billion euros. >> we are ready to do more if necessary to help these countries in the transition to democry. the overarching goal must be securing jobs. >> insiders say it is about time they eu got involved, calling it a first step. european development ministers have been meeting informally to

discuss a new approach. >> the journey government has reacted swiftly and started a democratization front come and job training fund, and an economic fund to finance enterprises. >> that translates into support for north africa's middle class. all efforts are made to fast- track a new aid package. >> libya has caused a spike in the level of crude-oil prices. it now costs $105. libya has the largest crude oil reserves in africa. they have over 44 billion barrels. they are a major supplier of oil and gas to europe. they do not expect shortages. we expect the german institute for economi we

asked if -- if she thought opec should get involved. >> i think they should involve soon because we need some signals for the market. because right now if libya stopped oil production we would lose a significant amount of oil supply. the market is in expectation it could become more difficult. it would be really helpful if they could increase the capacities of other nations. >> the libyan crisis is sending stocks high. we have this report on the day's trading of the frankfurt stock exchange. >> this has an impact on the stock market shares. the higher oil prices leading to

higher costs. although the worries are still strong about the outcome, they could recover harsh losses pushed by strong gains on shares of car and truck producers. vw wants to reach the top position earlier than once thought. >> let's take a look at some the closing numbers. teh dax closing slightly lower. in new york, the dow jones is lower and euro at $1.36. german consumer confidence has made its highest level in three years. the consumer confidence index rose for march. it is comprised of a study for -- economists say this could help underpin germany's rebound

from the financial crisis even though other countries that share the currency struggle with high unemployment and austerity measures. >> a terrible story in new zealand. teams are searching for survivors of a major earthquake that struck the country on thursday. hundreds have been injured and many are trapped beneath the rubble. the earthquake measured 6.3 on the richter scale. it devastated parts of christchurch. it is the second time in five months the city has been rocked by an earthquake. the government says several countries have offered to help, including japan and the u.s. a search and rescue team has been dispatched. >> rescuers have been working into the night. a group of japanese exchange students were. under this building that housed

there school. one of the teachers trapped inside called her family in japan. authorities weren't -- warned the death toll is likely to rise. residents were horrified. >> we saw a building just fall down and then they saw the streets completely devastated. >> it all collapse. [inaudible] >> emergency services have been stretched to capacity. unlike last year's strong earthquake that struck overnight, this time the tremors shook the city midday. the government is coordinating relief efforts.

>> we want to give people reassurance their. i don't think we can go past this. we may be witnessing new zealand's darkest day. >> workers have to proceed carefully given the danger of aftershocks. more buildings could still collapse. >> we want to recap our top story. the situation in libya -- the country's leader has made a defiant speech and vowed not to step down. he said he would not leave libya. he blamed the unrest on cowards and traders. muammar qaddafi refused to apologize for the crackdown and read from a book that listed the death penalty for crimes against the state. i will have more on the situation in the arab world. we will look at how the internet has made change possible. we will be back in one minute.

>> the unrest in north africa is far from over with several governments teetering on the brink. in egypt and tunisia, big governments have already been dissolved. with a strong military and a population of $80 million, egypt is the most important player. it is also home to a lot of young people with two-thirds of the population under 30. egypt's young people tend to be well educated but have few prospects of finding a job. some of these young people took matters into their own hands forming a group known as the april 6 youth movement. it originally formed in 2008,

the influential group is credited with helping bring down the mubarak regime. >> the use of egypt plays a key role in toppling the mubarak regime. it has had to deal with western the station, the muslim brotherhood and modern islam. andy it is a generation that has only known one president. he is no longer in power. hosni mubarak step down after a coalition drove him out of office. this man is a public-relations manager and member of the cairo middle-class. she has never been interested in politics but then she stumbled upon the youth movement on facebook. she joined the group on the web and became an active member.

the group's membership has continued to grow even after mubarak's downfall. but the facebook alliance is not planning to run for office in the first elections. >> there will not be an april 6 party. we don't have the uniform ideology. amerigroup compares -- includes those striving for democratic change. we do want to be something strong. >> she understands mubarak's downfall is not enough to eliminate corruption. the april 6 youth movement wants to help ejections -- help egyptians developed a better understanding of democracy. >> we want to create a lobby that organizes campaigns to make people familiar with the constitution.

how can you vote on a constitution if you don't know your rights? we want to go to the streets to educate people. >> she and her friends are already planning the next campaign. they are proud of the fact their work is attracting attention around the world. the group's efforts are even noticed in germany. >> they are the elite needed to manage the country. the question is what will happen to the semi educated who has studied terrorism by cannot find a job? they have to find their place, too. that will be much more difficult because the economy is not doing well. >> in rural areas the revolution did not make much of an impact. many people like this man were

too busy trying to earn a living. during the unrest, many people sit -- many people stayed home and this driver had a few passengers. he simply did not have time to demonstrate. >> i did not take part in the protests. i was looking for customers. i was simply afraid. that is why i did not leave the village. >> the youth in the countryside do not belong to their facebook generation like those in the large cities. he does not know if the departure of mubarak is a good thing. he has different everyday concerns. back in cairo, this television producer is pleased with the downfall of the president. the demonstration -- he demonstrated in tahrir square.

>> 4 may, it is a dream come true. egypt is -- for me, it is a dream come true. there is a noose solidarity. people are proud to be egyptians. but i would hesitate to say the revolution has already been won. we will need a lot of time to achieve our goals. >> the young egyptians were long considered apolitical. two-thirds did not go to the polls because the elections were not free. now they suddenly have the responsibility of playing a role in the future of their country. >> it remains to be seen how young egyptians will vote. what most of them like to vote for the left, wright, a

religious party or a liberal moderate party? there are very westernized young people. the american university is the best in the country. many demonstrators study there. maybe they would prefer a liberal economic system. others have arab nationalist sympathies. there is a whole spectrum. people have to think about exactly what they want. >> that includes this student who is from a wealthy cairo family. her parents thought it was too dangerous to be out on the streets during the protests, but she cheered on friends who've sent photos of the demonstrations. when a mobile phone network was shut down, her friends called her landline to tell her about the protests. when the news came apart step down, she and her family rushed

to tahrir square to celebrate. >> everybody was affected by the regime's problems. either by the situation in the presence or because it was difficult to find a job. >> she studies economics at the american university of cairo. after graduation she would like to find a good doc -- good job in egypt, but many years have gone abroad to launch their careers. -- but many peers have gone abroad. >> i am convinced the young people who left egypt will now return and help the country. egypt needs them now. if we all give some of our assets, we will make progress. we need the right person for the right position and trusts.

>> many young egyptians have felt united by the euphoria of recent events. and they are willing to assume some responsibility for the future of their country. >> there are great signs the poor and rich are beginning to repaint defenses there. that is encouraging. >> cleaning up and starting over again, egypt's young people will need perseverance in the coming months. they face a daunting task, but if they remain united they could succeed. >> that has been our in-depth look at the role played by young arabs in the upheavals taking place. stay tuned for regular updates on the events in egypt, libya and around the world. as always, thanks for the company.

. today we are going to the movies, social network and secretary, grab your popcorn and join us, bay area vista is next. . welcome to bay area vista, thank you for joining us. there are so many movies out right now so today we decided to go with a few that are generating a lot of buzz. one is behind the foun8ng of facebook, it launched at harvard university but now has

transformed social interaction for millions of us around the world. mark will not watch the movie which focuses on two lawsuits against him. now when the stars of the movie social network came to town, i talked with them about the controversy and the making of the film. here is what they had to say. >> i am janet edwards. he is talking about the social network, the buzz about the founding of facebook. >> two nights ago, they had a whole website in one night, he did it while he was drunk. >> you made facebook? >> they are grouppies. >> million dollars is not cool, what is cool is a billion dollars. from are a lot of expectations about the movie and a lot of controversy. it is really about two lawsuits

filed against mark and facebook, who did you get input in writing the script? >> let's talk about the lawsuits first. they were filed roughly the same time, the defendants plaintiffs they were all sworn in and came at the same time and what they ended up with were three different versions of the truth. when it came time to write the screen play, instead of writing the juiciest i wanted to say there were three versions, that there was a different quality so the movie does not take a position on who is telling the truth we let you argue about that in the parking lot. i know that mark and facebook would prefer we only tell the story from mark's point of view but we are telling it from mark's point of view as well as

the point of view of the people who are suing him. as far as who i got the information from, there was a lot of available research as well as speaking at length and directly to a number of the characters -- characters who were pro trade in the movie and most of them spoke to me on the condition of and i am inty so i -- and on, anonymous. >> but regarding some of the other view points, were any of those viewpoints central contributors to shaping this? >> sure, i can't tell you who i spoke to. >> okay. >> but everyone -- the fact that i have not spoken or met with mark, does not mean mark's

viewpoint was not central in shaping the script as well. >> right. >> listen, i don't think there is anybody who would want a movie made about the things they did when they were 19 years old, so i understand how mark feels completely. but on the other hand i -- in fact i know that we were fair, there is nothing in this movie that was sensationalized or hollywoodized. everything that occurs in this movie that we present to you first of all it is because a credible person said no this is the way it happened and we come at you and say this may not have happened this way it may have happened a ditch way. >> that is -- different way. >> that is true. >> i think because mark is

someone i didn't get to speak to, his part of it is something i am only able to know through certain records. mark's character is given more than anybody else the benefit of the doubt in the movie. >> there are definitely those moments. when i was at 19 i was at harvard. it is nice to see the social network was not there. given the expectation of the movie, the feedback you got, the screening with those students i thought wow that was so spot on and i didn't want it to end, ultimately what do you hope people will take away from this? >> it is gratifying when we hear that kind of reaction. people will take a lot of different things. there is not going to be a unanimous opinion but most people will like it. there is not going to be a unanimous opinion about who was

right and who was wrong. the movie does not fit easily into a box, the easiest is a courtroom drama where we start out certain that somebody is guilty or we change our minds five times throughout and i think that will happen here too. >> i am jessie and i talk with mark and the social network. >> i am afraid if you come out here you will get left behind. i need you out here. >> what did you just say? >> it is moving faster than any of us imagined. >> nice to meet you, welcome to the bay area. >> the challenge of port trying mark zuckerberg not approving of it in any way must have been enormous but how did you gain access to the character?

>> the script was written in conjunction with the book so when i read it i read it is a an actor looking at a character rather than somebody looking to play somebody real and having my own take on him. it is erin's script and my impression of his characterization of mark zuckerberg, it is interviews and so i kind of used that to help me play what is ultimately a character in the movie. >> because you are talking about facebook which has changed social interaction, did you feel were you in the process of something great in that same way? >> it is a nice comparison and having gone to harvard, the spirit is something great will come out of this school. i didn't go to harvard personally but when we were shooting there, you got into

the spirit of the work ethic of the kids there and in a way it infected the movie, it infected the spirit of the movie we all felt like we wanted to make it something special. >> we were talking to andrew garfield and he has been tapped to play peter parker in the upcoming firemen, nice to see you in the bay area. >> nice to see you. >> how is it working on a character that has been in the news in several ways. >> we are here including five in europe... >> i mean it was incredible to work on. i mean when i read the script, it was -- i read it in half an hour, i just soaked it up. it was just incredibly exciting and pro found and multi- perspective and it seemed

impossible to write. erin wrote this incredible tail. and the themes are just like -- you know there is all this humanity, there is all the storytelling and power and betrayal and money and greed and all these things, these universal themes and to be a part of the film, to be part of the story that is dealing with all those important human things, it is just great fun. >> you liked it? >> yes, because all the work has been done for you in this. >> there is a great scene with you and jessie who plays mark, the character plays your girlfriend where the dynamic is established where it becomes the betrayal. i know you have won many awards for your laser focus as an act

sore, what do you do for your skills? >> urgent rouse with what you just -- you are generous with what you just said, that is very nice. i can talk about that, it matched the way david finch approaches his work, we are all here, we are all being paid to be here onset making a movie which many people dream of but we are given the chance to, we work hard, we go to squeeze every ounce of juice we can out of this situation and i just love that. >> now we are talking with army hammer and the social network as i was saying before, you got the harvard down pat in that way. what was this film like for you being in cambridge and also

dealing with such a controversy movie? -- controversial movie? >> well dealing with a controversial, it is amazing and it is one of those gifts that rarely get to be experienced in this town. by the time you have someone selling the script and then the producer gets involved and they have to do rewrites and cast it and they have to agree on the final edit and then it is released and by the time all those steps are accomplished, it is very rare that the issue you are trying to bring attention to is still relevant but with something like facebook, a constantly growing company, it is only getting morel haven't as time -- more relevant as time goes on, but also getting a chance to work in boston and came bridge and

charleston, it was the best. >> of course you play twins, how was that experience? [ movie excerpt ] >> he gave himself a 42 day head start but he knows but apparently you don't which is everything. >> i don't think you need to school me in the importance of getting there first. >> that was your father? >> if he thinks it is appropriate he will send us a letter. >> what do you think we need a lawyer? >> i can do that myself. there is two of me. >> making slight variations in character, was that a big challenge for you? >> we approached it like it was the biggest challenge because we knew it would be so easy to fall into the trap of saying

good twin bad twin or these guys are the bad guys or they are the big handsome athletic people picking on the poor unfortunate mark zuckerberg and the audience would think, these aristocratic blue bloods, i don't like that and concerning the fact that these guys are still alive, we wanted to spread lightly and we -- tread lightly and show them they deserve a fair chance. >> looking at this phenomenon your take in terms of people connecting through a social network but not connecting intimately one-on-one, what is your view? >> i will practice my answer by saying i have as much

sophistication in sociology -- in sociology as i do in brain surgery. i think it was to connect us and bring us closer together and it is doing the opposite. i think socializing on the internet is reality to television is to reality and we are trying to -- we are alone when we are socializing. we are not talking to each other, we are writing at each other and there is a big difference. we are writing on a wall and it is not that much different than passing a note back and forth in class. or writing graffiti. you are trying to reinvent yourself from behind closed doors by doing what i do coming up with lines that make you seem clever or strong or tough or angry or whatever you want to appear to be that the moment, but it is a sin seer

and de-- a sin seer -- sincere and dehumanizing. >> it is important to add that anybody's opinion about the internet if you are on facebook if you are not on facebook is irrelevant to whether you will enjoy this movie or not. you don't have to like or not like facebook or anything about the internet to enjoy this movie. it is not what the movie is about. >> the social network's website is on our screen and also at bay area visit.com and we remind you this is just one side of the story. now another movie generating interest tells the owner's story of secretary. he became the first triple

crown champion in 25 years. a woman who took over her father's horse business and was drawn into the world of championship breeding. >> we are talking to dianne lynn who stars in secretary. >> three races, three states in just five weeks. >> welcome back to the bay area, nice to see you again. >> thank you for having me. >> of course many people remembered the story but the story behind the race was a beautiful one, what did you resonate with? >> well i just felt like that jimi hendrix, let me stand next to your fire. he was the perfect age to be

ran. believing in pegasys, being 8 years old, he was my personal hero and because i loved horses so much, when i saw the name on the list of the pictures the studio might make that year, i thought could you imagine if i fell uphill and got that lucky, i didn't dare dream that big, so i am pinching myself, i am happy. >> so you always admired secretary, this is a dream come true in that way? >> i just spend some time with the real penny, the living legend she is and busted through that glass ceiling in a sport for men, she was raised in horse breeding and she knew what she was doing and she never stopped to the media's level by using the word housewife like it was a dirty word. she was like a dog that didn't bark, she would bite.

>> this is newsweek. >> this is all this talk about super horse, she broke the derby record, he ran the second fastest derby ever. >> well i would have to say i agree completely with mr. martin, his horse did run the second best. >> that press conference was a prime ex lot of family tension, her husband was not pleased with the decision to take over things after her father -- >> sure tremendous amount of sacrifice and maybe a little judgment too. i'm sure people thought she was being vain glorious and this highly ambitious venture. i can't imagine if she didn't win. fate met her halfway. >> in her viciousness. and the dynamic between her and

loren, very interesting. a lot of people were wondering would there have been more to that relationship. >> i understand. i am going to delicately walk sideways. just to work with john malkovich which is another scenario and i wish we could take the show on the road and go every day with him. we read the same screen play and i didn't see that much humor in it. he is so talented and free and focused antigen rouse and would -- and generous and would rework to maximum potential. he worked in the iron mask so they were comrades from a previous experience. it worked out very well for everyone. >> well everyone was of course

cheering. >> you can't want to see -- >> those are fine. we knew the races were going to be definitely something he can i will rating for the you had a -- he can i will rating for the you had a -- amazing for the audience but for all the emotions that went on and the miss understandings, my analogy was apollo 13 but i didn't want to miss a moment in how they were thinking and maneuvered the situation. i am glad it turned out like it did. >> what was your personal relationship with the horses? >> there are five horses because when they are running like that, it is exhausting. did i have my favorites, i confess. i am a horse lover but i don't know about thoroughbreds. i am used to a little less

velocity, less rocket feel under the saddle, i like quarter horses and westerns. sharing with 1800 pounds of right, the customer is always right, well the horse is always right. you need to make it their idea. you really have to watch your ps and qs, tremendous egos. >> last time we talked about a trip, how is the family? >> well honestly, josh and i are staring at an empty nest. our girls are applying to college and we are trying to be cool and not talk to much about it, -- too much about it. we are rehearsing and letting go. we are both working a lot so we

are planning our next year together, keeping it romantic. >> it was a crowd pleaser and everybody was cheering for it. it was nice to know that it was part of a childhood dream come true for you. >> talking to the directer of secretary, the crowds were cheering and when you are making a movie about a race, that is somewhat anticipated but you said you were surprised the first time you saw that reaction? >> well i was. the pivotal moment in my career was when i decided to make stories about what i wanted to see, not what the audience wanted because i believed in the audience. i consider myself an audience member first, i remember being a boy and walking out of the movie and thinking, my life is never going to be the same because of what i just saw and the only way i can get there is through the heart. the movies i make i try to aim

at that experience and to see people cheering and you know yelling at the screen and crying and laughing, you know that makes me believe well they are having the experience, they are not being spectators and they are being participants and that's a great thing. >> all of those to your claim brave heart, when you decided to take on this story and dealing with living people, i was thinking with her character she was not sitting on the sidelines quietly but giving you input about how things should be portrayed is that accurate? >> well she lived the story with such pass$'n and she was careful about how the story was told. the by ago after -- biographer was bill mac and he was also a technical advisor. they gave us the factual under

pinning and we couldn't deviate but she said of a she had seen the film and she's in her mid- 80s and she's car as matt particular, i loved the film and i didn't understand how much pain i had been in and i didn't understand how lonely i had been and i had to hide all of that from myself. it wasn't that you made it up, it was there, you discovered it. it is like a boxer in the ring taking the blows but will not allow himself to feel it because if he does he can't go on. that was magnificent courage, she brought that to her life and hopefully we captured that in the story. >> you didn't read the biography at the end or what happened to her marriage and

finding out about breeding this horse and becoming a champion. >> it is one thing when your enemies oppose you but when you know the people who are supposed to have your back and they are the ones saying you are a housewife, you are a woman, you can't do this, you are not smart enough, you are not brave enough and whatever it is, that moment comes in any character's life and they stand up and say, you know what i am not running a popularity contest and this one is mine and this is how we are going to do it. >> i feel i can make something work. >> that gives me goose bumps. that is a hero for any movie. >> how would you describe secretary to little kids who never heard of this horse before? >> secretary was a horse born small like we all are and who

loved what he was doing. he thought the first part of his life was all about playing and then he realized one day that he had a gift and the only way he could explore that gift was to exercise it and just run as fast and as far as he knew how to go and it made him the greatest race horse whoever lived. information about secretary is on our clean and our website. that is our trip to the movies this week so thank you for joining us in bay area vista and thank you for making it is great place it is. i am janet edwards hope to see you next
