the bitch. but you know what you. chose your. terms. is available in. dozens are reportedly killed in their beer with operation odyssey dawn in full swing foreign forces push forward with military intervention against. the international community is not the case the libyan leader with us britain and france launching a missile strikes against his forces join me want to hear from the capital city city tribune a few moments formal. washington claims its military involvement in libya will be limited purpose some americans it's deja vu. for heat of the iraq operation. the pentagon says air defenses have been severely disabled i'll be back with more

washington in just a few minutes. and russia calls on all sides to put an end to the violence while foreign intervention in libya is regrettable join me in a few moments for the latest reaction from moscow. and welcome to our team of the very latest developments around the world well straight to libya but libyan army claims forty eight people are dead and one hundred fifty others wounded from bobbins of cruise missiles and strikes on american and european forces now reports that the broad international campaign by france britain and united states against the gadhafi regime has established a naval blockade of libya. is in tripoli where explosions come across the gunfire had been heard overnight let's go there now what can you tell us about what tripoli

and libya waking up to this something. well the so he can confirm that operation odyssey dawn is in flames swaying british french and american fighter jets as well as cruise missiles have been hitting key libyan installations we are hearing that they have hit some twenty targets and that they have completely destroyed gadhafi as a defense systems it's a little bit too soon to say whether or not this is the case the city is only now waking up as indeed as the rest of the country we're hearing that we'll need another ten to twelve hours to properly assess the damage of those saturday strikes so what we can say is that they were concentrated along the northern coastal line this is where the libyan surface to air missiles are based it's so where the major cities are the city of tripoli as well as some of the most important oil installations here in tripoli as i made my way to this night i had to walk through a crowd that has barricaded it's just

a few meters away from this live position people are protesting people are screaming and people are shouting their support for it done so here in the capital city it's becoming a lot more tense overnight because anti aircraft fire from the libyan forces and for several hours we could hear back fire from from where we are the the compound of gadhafi is a short distance from here now thousands of demonstrators have gone there they are barricading the leader inserting that's what we're hearing is a story where there has been a call for human shields the deficit even on state television did say that this was an onslaught against his country who is not only caught it illegal but he says that he has done nothing to justify these attacks in the mediterranean now has become a battleground he also says that his regime is distributing weapons so that people are able to defend themselves we're not going to state television thirty eight civilians have been killed and some one hundred and fifty injured and of course this is one of the major concerns here one of the international community is coming

close to be to the defense of the local population just how much loss of life will be in the coming days that furthermore they have been concerns from russia and other countries about the ritual gratian from this little bit libyan citizen saying about where you are. well of course because the international involvement came out from those rebel opposition fighters but they too are quite clear that they do not want to see this evolve into a much broader why don't we ration that would see foot soldiers on libyan soil this is a country that is keenly aware of what has happened in iraq and afghanistan it also has its own history of occupation particularly in terms of italian forces no one here would want to see international forces again inside libya people here are very well aware of what happened in yugoslavia there were no fly zone read on there many critics say that under the guise of humanitarian assistance it was a fully fledged foreign interventions and people are also very cautious when the international community bandies about terms such as humanitarian assistance.

realities paullus they were the very latest there from tripoli thank you. well the coalition decision to take military action in libya is being made on the premise of a humanitarian mission but globalization honestly. so easy. to suggest a very different agenda. because no humanitarian operation. is deadly wall what you were seeing was the military material and to say that this is to save the lives of civilians since when you do these fighter bombers and save the lives of civilians well it's certainly a war which has the jets of regime change this of course was not mentioned of the security council resolution but my minister stephen harper of canada and i'm

following the canadian responses has stated that the jek to this operation is to unseat gadhafi so that the whole humanitarian underpinnings of this war becoming entirely clear aspect is that in fact this military coalition has already reply late to. the resolution which they themselves have calls on the so-called international community article nineteen zero zero zero zero the resolution of the united nations security council resolution says to which an embargo on on weapons on to. to libya where in fact what are they doing then bringing in veterans and their best supplying opposition forces with benefits through feet of this law is oil and. britain the united states canada i'll go there with the intent of the interests of all. of the oil

corporations and the extension of the influence. to into africa this is not a humanitarian operation it is a war of conquest and it will have devastating consequences or not only our own all the people of libya but most generally. code. combat aircraft and submarines based in several countries are involved in operation odyssey dawn and decision to take direct action to enforce the libyan no fly zone was thrashed out at a summit in paris just hours before the first strikes your correspondent daniel bushell has more on the scale of the operation. reports have confirmed that some twenty warplanes are already on libyan airspace from the french side which has been the most active in this starting with the summit are now in military action they've sent referral fighter jets neeraj fighter jets also surveillance aircraft they say the concern is to enforce

a no fly zone over libya airspace in effect grounding colonel gadhafi as jets and helicopters and their number one concern is the civilian population in the around the area of being ghazi it to that effect the first military operation will be to enforce the no fly zone over the east of libya where the rebel strongholds are one hundred by one hundred fifty kilometer area it comes off to a decision at the paris summit where it was decided that the powers would go in and it was attended by the heads of the united nations the head of the league also the emir of qatar several foreign ministers of arab nations for example morocco and the united arab emirates arab states saudi arabia qatar jordan and the united arab emirates have said they do back the deployment of a no fly zone over libya an air space and the arab states will play a supporting role of a sleep key their support in the region for the e.u. powers are now falling into line we can confirm italy has offered seven of its air

bases that we used by nato previously course it's only just across the mediterranean from libya one of the key air bases that will be used by western powers and we're also seeing other nations coming out and saying they support this for example norway netherlands here in belgium we've also seen canada saying it's five digits already in the region and ready to be deployed within two days they just need to sit up there and western leaders e.u. leaders say they do support this campaign david cameron of the u.k. also i'm going to merkel of germany despite germany's abstention of the u.n. vote for a no fly zone she says she does back military intervention now they just won't be sending forces themselves germany won't be sending forces but it does support this . kind of reporting there are several british members of parliament are skeptical about why their country is being dragged into conflict with russian. selective choosing where intervention is necessary. i think the tactic yes he was

to call a ceasefire in order to hope one hope to bring about a peaceful resolution of this conflict but it was beginning to look as though he was just trying to buy time for himself i must say i absolutely regret the lack of the ceasefire and regret what is happening at the moment a lot of innocent people have already died in a lot more look as though they're going to die in the next few hours if they strike against. targets of the regime they might be effective at doing that but i suspect the real problem is they're going to have to strike against targets in the cities and that result in large numbers of million casualties this is a terrible situation i think there's a lot of double standards going on here because what is happening in libya is obviously terrible gadhafi should have heeded the views of ordinary people and come to some kind of accommodation with them all removed himself from office. there's been no condemnation worthy of anything against saudi arabia yemen or amman who've

also been killing large numbers of civilians totally over the last few weeks and i think that the west is being very selective about this was the u.n. has put in place a resolution calling for a no fly zone and that is obviously they have not used the words regime change with clearly what's intended and now there's a worry that we're getting ourselves involved in yet another war and yet another conflict which is essentially an internal civil war in libya and at the same time only six weeks ago britain was selling arms to libya buying oil from libya british companies were investing in libya i needed libya was investing heavily in this country and so it's in a very short space of time that libya has gone from most favored nation to zero and one sort of one does the speed of all this and many of those that are now calling for the bombing of libya were only a few weeks ago in libya doing business deals. meanwhile president obama. promising not to deploy american ground forces in there unless it's absolutely necessary he

said america's road would be limited as part of the international efforts to protect libyans from colonel gadhafi for some real worry that it echoes the u.s. invasion of iraq eight years ago the devastating consequences that could result is going to change you can bring the american perspective from washington d.c. . the pentagon says gadhafi air defenses have been severely disabled as they put it the u.s. has launched missiles from its war ships and submarines in the mediterranean targeting it is air defenses and as the pentagon says the goal is to shape the battlefield for the coalition forces to take further action basically what they're doing is they're clearing the sky is so that he is not able to shoot down any planes or the coalition forces and the pentagon also says that this is just the beginning of the operation and in the coming few days more nato ships will converge on a lead to inforce naval blockade and earlier french fighter jets had carried out strikes

on adoptee's ground forces and there have been reports of civilian casualties caused by the attack some really alarming reports where president obama also reiterated is that there will be no u.s. troops on the ground although there are still lot of questions as to the limits of this intervention will it be enough for the coalition forces to do just this arm could be or will they go beyond that cool and what will be the outcome those are the questions everybody is asking and the fears are that this operation could could be something more than just an effort to protect a civilian civilian as the wording of the resolution which was passed on thursday is basically all inclusive short of occupation of course and the fears are that certain actions taken by international forces could destabilize the situation even more shooting down khadafy fighter bombers and attacking other other military

assets is one thing but fighting arming the rebels for example is something very different and we are getting reports that egypt's military is shipping arms over the border to levy and rebels in the age of the military as we know is there influenced by washington and reports so it's not just the khadafi army versus coalition forces this could the fear is that this could turn into a food. fledged civil war and the arms supplies could inflame the situation even further diplomatically speaking the white house has been trying very hard to not to appear as the driving force behind this military actions but they also stress again and again that it is not just the western powers going to war in libya they stress that they have the support of the arab league over up to this point it is not really clear what the actual input of arab countries is in this action but what they what they need and very much want is the arab countries assistance so that it doesn't appear as the west cracking down on yet another arab state.

the main details of our top story this hour forty eight people have reportedly been killed and one hundred fifty others wounded after international coalition forces on the planes and missiles over there they're hearing reports that three u.s. b. two stealth bombers have dropped forty bones major in their field. at night it was heavy gunfire in tripoli and also into the city's storage tanks hit your gratian against a covert officer genies being there by france britain the united states on a scale not seen in the arab world since the iraq war about twenty degree difference targets have been hit in the rest of the country by more than one hundred missiles far from american and british ships and submarines coated author you gave a brief statement saying the bins will confront with cold your tracks of the clear crusader cold and u.n. security council meeting to discuss the g.c.c. of the operation international action follow the un's resolution to allow did all sorts of

a no fly zone over libya to stop bloodshed on the ground russia or china or some latin american countries disagree with the social western countries to start ritual relations in the region. and what activists say the un resolution that sanctioned the attack on libya is riddled with contradictions jim brann told r.t. washington's policy that our world is in disarray. what on earth you mean by protecting civilians. presumably it means protecting civilians from both sides because there are clear. suggestions of. of atrocities on both sides it's an over one sided thing. but of course i think the central point is that the whole thrust of the intervention is not just because of the principle thing and that accounts for the. for the contradictions and the holes in the resolution i mean i think the whole thing is

a mess so the resolution itself is full of like you have this thing about for example stay very largely out of it and then suddenly when the resolution is passed to make very specific demands which clearly mean nothing in the resolution that demands for example the government forces pull back from a series of towns that kind of thing so you have you have clear intentions to. different parties to make of it what they will and i think that we will see that process roll around in the very similar situation going on in in bahrain but with in many ways exactly the opposite feature so in bahrain you have for example robert gates united states defense secretary goes through a park rain a week ago as talks leave in two days later the. corporation council especially saudi forces go in and they go in and they intervene on the side of those who are sick or similar about stopping the war in bahrain by effectively

intervening on the side of the government whereas in the case of libya they want to stop the war by intervening on the side of the rebels i mean the hope the whole position seems to me completely untenable and full of hope. rising star well some people take the lead. libya keith hahn and snow correspondent and the gator claims people have cheated on their own definition i mean hijacked the u.s. led coalition. there was no. this is an absolute horror of aggression it's just another war and the world should really be frightened of the nature of nato and american power their own dictators well there's a popular uprising component of the uprising or the rebels attacked there's also. genuine dissidents but there's also islamic radical proxy forces they were backed by the united states. during the cold war and there is. that force is the front for

the national salvation these are also part of the so-called rebels and they're backed by other western agencies like the national endowment for democracy works and personally there so this is really a very manipulated so-called conflict with the people of libya the real true free popular uprising people of libya are going to suffer the most and it won't be very long once they don't get out the before the people true popular uprising realizes they have no control over their country because the united states france and italy . or russia has described the international military action as graphical foreign ministry using. everything they can to stop civilian suffering and to create an immediate cease fire because all of the cross reaction in moscow. russia has expressed regrets over this international intervention into libya and

a statement by the foreign ministry they called on all sides to stop violence as soon as possible well russia has been against international intervention in libya pretty much since the start in the country around a month ago now some circles have started to voice concern over international intervention led by by britain france and the united states saying that it could be overstepping the the boundaries laid out by the u.n. security council resolution. yellow for the federation council the foreign affairs committee leader has said that in his own opinion he believes that the they all going too far with this action is be taken actually in the resolution number one nine hundred seventy three its main goal was to defend the civilian population but not to punish the gadhafi regime or overthrow it so in that respect with think that

one thousand nine hundred seventy three resolution is a mostly humanitarian resolution to speak for humanitarian resolution benefit from militarism lucian my personal concern is that any military operation which is conducted by the west in the arab world can lead to a very predictable scenario like all the parties involved in the conflict they get together and start fighting against foreign invaders there were several examples of such scenarios in the history of the greater middle east so i think that we all have to be very cautious now and we all have to think first of all of that the political solution should go before a military solution we think that it could offer regime has already lost its internal and international credibility but we think also. people will leave. their problems well foreign minister sergei lavrov is about so begin

a visit to the region he's in egypt on sunday before heading off to algeria and both of those countries of course to libya they're going to be watching very closely what happens in the country. is there to discuss deals. between russia and egypt and algeria notice first visit to the to egypt since the revolution there in january and he'll be watching what goes on in libya very very closely to see what russia's next move will be as it deals with its partners in the region the suffering the peace. and international intervention at the moment. payne is wondering exactly where it's trying to protect antiwar activists.

well i think the hundreds of parishioners already. it's probably too late for a large intervention that will cover the oil fields or that was actually a stool strategic points i think the goal is anything but joe humanitarian earth is a stand off situation maybe and they have to divide the country and probably. other forces and united states england great britain and france are beginning oceania quickly with a new government in the eastern part of libya but they're also there on a great chance of. civil war situation because dialogue is certainly that will forward and i think the russians. are right to to to back up and to see what's what's unfolding now what's unfolding now appears to be. a larger scale military

operation as we've seen in recent was. a mobilizing a foreign military against live here is being justified is the way to safeguard civilians but one humanitarian expect says it's the perfect excuse for coalition forces to target a leader who's been ostracized by the well community decades. they're feeling this is you know it's another person the news media civil from a little enemies called this guy in all the years a certain number of friends in africa he certainly made in search enemies of most utopian pals and also the arab league and of those of the people in the east of the conflict so. he miscalculated in the beginning i think and then they never got those intervention school to school of intervention in the west you just been going since kosovo and that's been somewhat sent back to the problems in afghanistan and the hack who going to come back in just to try to make sure it's

only military intervention will it can and libya looks a perfect case because it's a villain it's not a friend of the west the field friend of the is even though isn't it going home against any season and i'm a bit then and then that's a perfect kids will become flame to intervene on many encounters they the because of the. way across our coverage of events in libya throughout twitter and facebook feeds correspondents covering this event they're also getting expert analysis on the facts of the followers had a twitter search party under school. update some breaking news of the military intervention in libya just a couple minutes stating. to. move.
