some news sources have reported bombings in a leading town but as artist causley reports things are remarkably different on the ground. i. guess. it's just it's tough to just notice just a little city you can cure are maybe appears to be on a knife edge fighter jets have been bombarding the capital tripoli reportedly on the order is our mark of our. force and. guns or something. and. it's. the truth seems to be a city going about its business these are hardly the pictures of city on the brink of war and meanwhile libya's capital tripoli is bracing for another really really

through another night of gunfire and carmona and writing by the eyewitnesses a warplanes and been firing at was in the worst from the air. and to see and to send good reports. we. administer to some water management of the channel and see. what they want from these three course and eliminate or deal with what does not serve their purposes which is why people here are angry bahamas taking a few days also just works engineer to join the front of the justice process in downtown green square but i think this. let's get i don't know. sort of there. but in this it's not just what's being hit it it's also what's actually being sued. the main. story.
1:04 am
and things that are quoted would not be you were not. in a story about. where we were we were the aggressor what news of the. problem. would be. for what is clearly not in tripoli and just as clearly we still media has been a little too quick to write. both sides have. this crowd funding me around with a straightforward message number live feed. actually. international pressure is growing and. the u.k. and france have to be drafting a u.n. resolution to impose a no fly zone but that
1:05 am
a house together backing of the fifteen members of the security council artie's laura and explains what the move would mean. well a no fly zone is very much what it says on the tenets and which planes are allowed to fly essentially and what it would mean is that it would give allied planes the right to shoot down anything that took off inside libya we do know. and france is said to be drafting a u.n. resolution for a no fly zone william hague the foreign secretary here says that he's working closely with his partners on what he's calling a contingency basis on elements of a resolution for a no fly zone and we've heard from a foreign office source that it's only going to be used in the case if it's needed but no decision has been taken yet to present it to the security council we also heard more recently that nato has boosted airplane surveillance over libya to twenty four hours a day seven days a week and rather common asli they have said that that is part of
1:06 am
a contingency plan that which go beyond humanitarian aid to libya now in the event that this flies in resolution is presented this to the security council it may not go down particularly well russia as we know has a veto on the u.n. security council and the foreign minister sergey lavrov has reiterated that russia is very much against any kind of foreign intervention in the situation in libya. we've already made it clear that we. as a means of solving the crisis in libya the libyans have to solve problems and. with the help of. political needs but of course a lot of commentators are saying that they see shades of iraq in this we had a no fly zone invented ahead of the two thousand and three invasion of iraq and critics of that no fly zone said that in fact resulted in more civilian casualties and there would have been without it we have also heard rather worrying claim is
1:07 am
that he possesses chemical weapons which of course exactly the line that we were sold the head of the invasion of iraq. for supporting there and these are times first column pepe escobar says most media is reflecting how e.u. and u.s. leaders might be involved in the army and the new government. legal norwalk kind of opposition might use words if. these appears because in this history legal really. you find it absolutely everybody from the progressive lawyer secular people to islamists and they are keeping a low profile so nobody knows what. about a government would be. in the minds of people deciding stuff in washington and in brussels and. if we go there we brought up the next government will be in charge of the north and africa will be close to leave closer to europe will be

1:09 am
critical as it is with hundreds of people dead and with gadhafi saying he will fight until the last man standing and this reporting arm supply that could come from the saudis upon the request of the united states would inflame the situation even more if it is also being reported that the supplies could reach within forty eight hours so we could be some two days away from a full fledged civil war even leave you know with the involvement of western powers and here is what makes the arming the rebels possibility even more alarming americans themselves have estimated that the levy especially the isn't part of the country which is where the rebels have reportedly gained control these were is is home for a large number of jihadist to make up a fifth of morals jihadist it's enough to say that one of the rebel leaders in northeast of ghazi was was osama bin laden's personal driver the question here is whether the u.s. is going to end up putting weapons in the hands of radicals and destabilizing the region even more. there and we've been hearing about the prospects facing the
