the u.s. led coalition against colonel gadhafi forces grows pummeling libya with more air strikes cruise missile. others may have all the doctors had called from the capital as a place that's lights up the sky with fire i'm going to say when something just a few moments formal. international calls against intervention. russia condemns these forced libya over sixty people reportedly been killed by coalition bombs much. washington maintains its intervention will be limited even though it's behind closed to the halo drop zone that it is raising fears that america's

military premise will have the full consequences for civilians as it did in iraq and afghanistan. also the japanese imports get the global cold shoulder as the fukushima radiation made meanwhile the number of dead from the earthquake zones to the losses to moment eight times. the area watching auty well life twenty four hours a day the latest well developments from the u.s. britain and france are pressing ahead of that campaign of air attacks on libya where it's thought sixty four people have been killed during the bombardments and you saw a strike has destroyed his command center in tripoli right so he's. we are hearing from the pentagon that it is extremely satisfied with the way this operation is so far been conducted it says that gadhafi is increasingly under

stress that they have managed to isolate and scatter his forces we're also hearing that washington in a matter of just days will be ready to relinquish control of this whole operation over now the last few hours have been relatively quiet here in the capital city of tripoli the situation remains incredibly tense people are certainly incredibly frightened at around midnight local time there was a whole scattering of fire in the sky in part this was because of an empty a car fire that was being fired from libyan forces and also now we receiving confirmation that a missile hit because of a compound of what we hearing from allied forces is that it struck the control and control control income on building of his operations we are hearing that gadhafi was not inside his compound at the time in fact it's very unclear where he years ever since these operations began on saturday he has not been seen which is a little bit out of character because previously he was appearing almost daily are libyan state television giving addresses we are seeing international opposition

grow it's not only the arab league that is now coming out with these conflicting statements that it's signed up for the protection of civilians or not for the killing of civilians but we also see in countries like russia china latin america demonstrations happening in those countries and people are against this operation you need to remember that was very important for european powers to get the backing of the arab world and the understanding now is that they're backing might only come from the united arab emirates qatar and possibly jordan and that if the backing comes it will be more in the sense of financial aid essentially these countries will be watching the ball rather than participating in military strikes and this does raise questions questions like why are they signing up questions like do they really support the libyan people or is this rather some kind of vendetta against gadhafi or is it even an attempt to get the united states third entrenched in this part of the world people here on the ground to run to the internet. community to get involved and i'm talking here specifically about the rebel groups the opposition leaders they would much rather have the third countries like china z.

and egypt coming to the fore and for this to have been almost like an arab revolution for democracy rather than the intervention of wisdom powers we also know understands the arab street he said he is a clever man in terms of how he portrays himself and he has been portraying himself as the victim of international forces who are off to his oil we know for example that there are very legitimate questions being asked why for example when israel carried out a bombardment over gaza in two thousand and eight and two thousand and nine why when was there not a no fly zone imposed by the international communities are those kind of questions at the forefront of people's minds and certainly against the backdrop of this growing criticism of this operation most people here do not believe you believe the libyan army when it calls for a cease fire there was a cease fire that was announced on saturday and as we saw most some ok you see there were strikes and and air raids and attacks on the grounds taking place so he announced on sunday night a spokesperson for the libyan army that there would be an immediate cease fire is

certainly being greeted with a lot of skepticism on the ground the rebels themselves simply do not believe that the international community has yet to respond but it is important to say that the gadhafi regime is still sticking by its earlier argument and that is that it is that here interest ceasefire but that it is the rebels that are the ones that are provoking them it is the rebels that are on the offensive and they are the ones who are breaking it we are hearing from opposition fighters that as many as eight thousand of these men have been killed in more than a month of clashes this is the first indication we're getting of some kind of figures in terms of how many people have been killed in this conflict the international community is a pains to say that its intention is really to stop the fighting to stop the killing of civilians and that it's not really at this stage trying to get out of power that the criticism against that is well then why strike at his compound and the second criticism is also if you do not get the man to step down. this kind of impasse is a situation could continue for weeks if not months when you foreign ministers are

meeting in brussels to discuss the events in here as the campaign continues that's when nato ambassadors have so far to agree on whether. it's. correspondent in brussels tell us what are the states saying about the airstrikes and how much those nato signal that not all members agree with. but we're now into day three of a two day nato meeting which really tells you everything you need to know that there are growing concerns and divides within also the e.u. community many of which are participating in this nato led operation we first the imposition of a no fly zone which was the original aim which was voted through the u.n. despite some abstentions from key states that was to ground colonel gadhafi jets and helicopters then we had the u.s. saying that they. held areas that france is going in very aggressively so we have

u.s. military generals boasting about their success is there and that is exposing even more splits within the community here in brussels because you have germany abstaining from the vote all the other countries india china russia abstaining from that u.n. vote which was for a no fly zone and now we're talking about going into held areas only now is nato talking about putting communitarian issues first which was the key of the whole operation for the world community and as a result we now have the arab league which is a key voice in the region expressing increasing concerns we have turkey which is a very important ally with the european and nato community gets increasingly concerned about what is happening in libya the threats of civilian casualties the bombings that are going on there and so we're really seeing here in the increasing problems over the whole operation. has there been any show of hands as it were for

europe's citizens on this. yes just outside this building there was nancy war demonstration yesterday the first signs of public rift within the european community were expecting over this week today in various parts of europe in london were expecting this week various ministrations if this war there were prove intervention public demonstrations on the hope that that would stop colonel gadhafi bombing civilian casualties now that we see the reality of what is happening there there were talk of a second day wrong there are ground forces going to be used which wasn't the intention. when the you went through this operation so yes we are seeing growing public dissent over this operation. condemning the international coalition air strikes in libya amounts of western

troops to stop calls the indiscriminate use of force. from outside russia's foreign ministry. russia has of course expressed grave concern over the polish bombings that are taking place in libya saying that the use of force that has resulted in civilian deaths is unacceptable state by the russian foreign affairs ministry has basically condemned the use of force in libya the coalition bombings that have so far claimed the lives of at least sixty civilians of course if these strikes to new that number is expected to rise russia and many of its allies in europe and around the world find it unacceptable saying that the u.n. resolution one thousand and seventy three spoke over the establishing a no fly zone that was supposed to guarantee civilian security not endanger their lives any further loss available for those in egypt right now the use of force

expected to meet with the interim president the leader of the egyptian opposition and many are there are officials is of course expected to discuss the ongoing conflict in libya egypt has always maintained that the position that the courage was placed in libya is a libya's business and of course of the coalition forces have no right to carry out strikes that will endanger the civilian population the russian foreign affairs minister will also meet with the secretary general of the arab league which is also expressing a very strong positions on the current recent coalition bombings in libya of course the arab league mission we supported the establishment of the no fly zone over libya large have since changed their position seeing the numbers of casualties civilian casualties escalate the arab leader

a percentage of said have said the establishment of a no fly zone was aimed primarily of course our saving a civilian lives a guarantee them some security this. says him beyond what is happening in libya right now so they are not satisfied many of them have already said that they were led to believe that they were led to believe that the resolution was aimed at guaranteeing some sort of stability in the country while many of course believe that the current intervention will not only establish libya and aggravate the conflict further but that destabilization may actually spread to the entire north african region so the question libya's conflict and its prospects and the consequences all for the u.s. and european intervention will definitely be on sigil of ross agenda during his time in egypt and in algeria. but the u.s.

is the forefront of the strikes on libya they're playing some of its heaviest against the gadhafi regime that's despite washington insisting for days that the u.s. would merely play a supporting role. and says there's more to come. the pentagon says they do not rule out more strikes quote if and when the need arises if you want american television you get the impression that america's involvement is a really good thing and that there was no other option but intervention but if you look at the polls the majority of americans of polls the u.s. involvement in the intervention box news gives sixty five percent they're already unhappy that their government is spending tax dollars on inconclusive wars in iraq and afghanistan and adding one more hot spot is the last thing they want just this saturday the u.s. shot seventy five million dollars worth of missiles on fatalities here defenses officials though have promised that it's going to be a fast war obama said that they will be no u.s.

troops on the ground but as of now we know that the u.s. contribution in the strikes substantially outweighs all of the coalition forces combined so it's really a hard task to create the periods of not being the leading force also the fact that president obama did not interrupt his group in america it's also kind of an indication that he doesn't want to be seen as demanding that she felt. faint so it was a very calculated decision you could say speaking of the goals of the intervention in libya as we know is to protect civilians that is the justification but critics say we have to be careful with the official reasoning behind military campaigns and really question more the u.s. for example has a track record of starting military campaigns on false grounds eight years after the beginning of the war in iraq we're getting more evidence of lies told by u.s. officials to justify their invasion of the country take a look at this report. air strikes in libya a humanitarian act to protect civilians from

a dangerous dictator that's the reason given by the u.s. and its allies for their latest military for e. but when it comes to justifying its wars america has become the nation that cried wolf especially now when one of the key sources use the head of the two thousand and three iraq invasion has admitted he lied to us i just wanted to do something for my country so i'm sort of story that is not a teacher there anymore if i must i would do the same thing again i have no regrets rough economy i don't want anybody aka curveball he was seeking asylum in germany back in two thousand he told german intelligence that saddam hussein had biological weapons mounted on trucks they didn't believe him and when u.s. intelligence requested his testimony before attacking iraq germany told them he was unreliable but that didn't stop top u.s. officials building their case using him and no intelligence of their own we're giving you our faction conclusions based on solid intelligence one of the so-called

solid sources was an al qaida suspect who lied on to torture to cia allies in egypt about sam's ties with terrorists the other was curveball even now despite all the evidence of lies and deception key players in the bush administration are still in denial about their role in the events saying they were not sufficiently informed i don't know if there would have been a different level the in a scene that for you they tell you anything good. or bad no i don't know were you not on the email list. in their memoirs both collin powell the secretary of state back then and donald rumsfeld the defense secretary effectively dock responsibility and point the blame finger at others mainly the cia specifically george tenet head of the sea. at the time he said it was there and it wasn't and they believed him

because they wanted to invade iraq and colin powell was digging for information of cia headquarters in langley of course they were digging for it and it was it wasn't clear he was trying to come up with something because he couldn't find it even after this latest revelation about curveballs lies and many western media outlets put the following spain on the story u.s. officials they not lie they were duped but it really reveals here is that contrary to the headline that we saw from the guardian which was that the americans were duped somehow by your story and that really isn't a very accurate telling of what happened in that really the cia wanted to do if you want to use that word at all but really they were looking for an excuse they found one the man who presented the case for war before the u.n. security council now says he was misled not that he was part of an orchestrated plan to build a case for war no matter the evidence i believe

a lot of people followed orders. very likely knowing that what they were doing was wrong. but they wanted to be and. they like the power of washington. the big salary after eight years of embarrassing revelations still no u.s. official has admitted lying and also those who took part in building the case with the iraq war out of lies are now off the poor in the country with their memoirs and saying they were duped let me ask whether there exoneration in this quite public acceptance speech or bad last. summer. restrict our reporting from washington. well turning to developments in japan where it's now thought that more than twenty one thousand people perished in the earthquake and tsunami disaster any more still missing on the world predicts it

will take five years which apparently cover from the devastation now that the fukushima nuclear plant in the north workers are trying to get power back to the two remaining reactors so if you needed to get the cooling systems back on line to avoid nuclear meltdown radiation levels have risen and take care of the fuel supply not harmful they also felt some progress as worries over radiation on japan. explains its people to think twice before buying these goods. as japan works overtime to avert a nuclear meltdown is another crisis in the making maybe maybe think twice it's born of paranoia that radioactive remnants may reach far beyond japan's borders how worried about the safety maybe ready to go see if it is safe and radiation in the water i would want to be very wary of that firewall it's the fear of japanese

imports going all the way to the top u.s. regulators have said they will increase screenings of food coming in from the embattled asian nation. the european union has warned members to do the same and italy was the first e.u. nation to ban food imports from japan altogether in the wake of the nuclear scare it's the only suspicion that besides the quake and the tsunami and the nuclear crisis japan will soon have to deal with another problem becoming a trade pariah more than likely will for reasons that may not be entirely radioactive countries all over the world in tough economic times in the store looking for ways to subsidize their own producers their workers that's already incident like the one unfolding in japan gives them quite a good reason to do something that they may have been looking to do anyway this is bad for trade made worse for the country itself if made in japan comes to mean made a nuclear wasteland to consumers in countries like the u.s.

we're here in times square and i wanted to come down here because it is where the rubber meets the road as far as advertising in this country you can really see the brands to play a major role in the united states i want to see how many of them are japanese now take a look at this center opposed to advertising from top to bottom you can see sony c.d.k. toshiba all japanese corporations playing a major role in the us i noticed even our camera and my my clip from my microphone are things that you're by sony and with a nuclear disaster there's no telling what the toy will be on but the manufacturing of companies like this also their brand presence in countries like the u.s. and the status of the made in japan label would be concerned about like televisions components that might carry the radio active materials. and japan's economy will feel it for a long time to if trade suffers a major blow and this is already near zero growth rate and if it does that it's

going to have bigger effects internal to japan and globally we don't know exactly what those are but the. potentially quite significant fignon figure because in a global economy which made in japan matters for everyone many of the world's cell phones laptops in cars rely on a poxy computer chips for auto parts from the country stoppages in manufacturing and trade consensual ways through the system likely farther reaching then the radiation itself lauren mr r. t. new york from a helicopter for all our top stories why they came to la to use twitter and facebook feeds and robot. correspondents. to stay up to date you think was your that's right discover a song so it's searching. on the school. it's to check out
