7:02 am
different on the ground. a warning on the streets of tripoli i want to say to just you know wake up because you are in deeming no one can get more money could definitely be on with my money get that at the heart of the criticism the ports it could just use warplanes bombed and killed dozens of protesters in the capital city future of libya appears to be on a knife edge fighter jets have been bombarding the capital tripoli reportedly on the orders of the leader moammar gadhafi. they thought it would be with force and. guns or something. completely lost. her to the truth seems more to be a city of artist if you take business these are hardy to pictures of a city on the brink of war meanwhile libya's capital tripoli is bracing for what could be another night of gunfire explosions and rioting eyewitnesses say warplanes
7:03 am
had been firing at opposition supporters from the air when we invited. freudian media to come to and to libya and to see. who sent the reports to get channels we said the administration or management of the channel has selected what they want from these people and eliminate or delete what does not serve their purposes which is why people here are angry mohamed has taken a few days off from his work as an engineer to join the throngs of gadhafi supporters in downtown green square but i think this sadly despite what's what's going on now. are here such a course just to disappear for our leader warm up that he was one of the higher but say analysts it's not just what's being hidden it's also what's actually being sick . the language in the framing. ok goods that are used and things that are
7:04 am
quoted would not be you would not see this kind of treatment in a story about afghanistan that we are we're the aggressor so it makes it look like he's the problem here just. as i would be that's going to. go yeah. clearly not in tripoli and just clearly we still media has been a little too quick to buy tools but does he. have a propaganda or will this cause just came running around the streets he would receive the young lives gadhafi looking. good to. see tripoli. and pressure is growing against gadhafi with the u.k. and france are to be drafting a u.n. resolution to impose a no fly zone but that has to get the backing of fifteen members of the security council archies laurette explains what the move would mean. well
7:05 am
a no fly zone it's 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 and 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've also heard more recently that nato has boosted airplane surveillance over libya to twenty four hours a day seven days a week and rather all mislead they have said that that is part of a contingency plan that would go beyond humanitarian. aides to libya now in the
7:06 am
events that this no fly zone 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 sergei 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 are in an especially for military intervention as a means of solving the crisis in libya the libyans have to solve the problems themselves not with the help of guns only through peaceful political means but of course a lot of commentators are saying that they see shades of iraq in this we had a no fly zone implemented ahead of the two thousand and three invasion of iraq and critics of that may flies in so that in fact resulted in more civilian casualties and there would have been without it we have also heard the other worrying claim is that the possesses chemical weapons which of course exactly the line that we were
7:07 am
sold to the head of the invasion of iraq. asia times correspondent pepe escobar says most media isn't reflecting how e.u. and u.s. leaders might be involved in forming a new libyan government wheedle norwalk kind of like position lite you know. they've had to actually reach these their peers because in this history league we rated. you find it absolutely everybody from a progressive lawyer secular people to islam is that they are keeping a low profile so no one who knows what who knew it. could actually go would be so in the minds of people deciding stuffy washington in brussels you longer unary paris ok if we call there and we throw it up the next government would be in charge of the north in africa will be close to egypt close to tunisia algeria will be controlling the region nato will be replaced this means the west called trolls
7:08 am
in north africa so that's that's the real game that you own sees it in mainstream media for its. nato is boosting its surveillance flights over libya with round the clock monitoring this as president obama says the u.s. is considering possible military intervention america is also reportedly calling on saudi arabia to airlift weapons to anti could i think groups are he's kind of shaky on hasn't he tales from washington. president obama said military involvement in levy is possible he did not specify whether he was talking about direct or indirect involvement the u.s. has reportedly asked saudi arabia if it can supply weapons to the rebels in being galaxy the saudis have been told that opponents of so khadafi need anti-tank rockets mortars and ground to air missiles to shoot down gadhafi is fighter bombers and situation in levy is 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 could
7:09 am
inflame the situation even more 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 in libya with the involvement of western powers and here is what makes the arming the rebels possibility even more alarming americans themselves have estimated that levy especially the is part of the country which is where the rebels have reportedly gained control is nor is it is home full large number of jihadists they make up a fifth of jihadists it's enough to say that one of the rebel leaders the northeast being ghazi was wrong as 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. we've been talking about the prospects facing the middle east after the popular uprisings with political analyst matthew rojansky here's some of what's to come in the next program in the program the next hour. i certainly i'm
7:10 am
not a believer in conspiracy theories i think it's right when you listen to people who believe in these theories it makes the united states sound like the most effective global actor in history and i just think we don't believe that that's possible what i will say is i think it is probably the case as in many changes of power throughout history that the united states and others have helped to create an environment in which you know those who are coming out on the streets in libya and egypt in tunisia you know feel that they have some international support. europe's multiculturalism has been dealt another blow after germany's new interior minister says islam has no place in his country france's far right leader is also weighed in calling for millions of non europeans to be shipped back home they're among the biggest attacks on integration in the e.u. and come as thousands of our but if you g.'s are fleeing from trouble in north africa daniel bushell has more from brussels. islam does not belong in germany
