to. install cost down one remote this is r t the u.s. reportedly authorizes covertly cia operations in libya aimed at supporting the rebels and gathering intelligence this comes as nato officials themselves voiced fears that a number of rebel places and links to al qaeda. meanwhile the libyan foreign minister and colonel gadhafi is long time rice hundred was the concern the text of the new pay out on the ground forces still loyal to gadhafi are telling the rebels

on since. last word to stabilize their book regime a nuclear plant comes to a hold as radiation levels in the seawater by the facility reach new highs the u.n. reaches for japan to expound the evacuation zone from twenty to forty kilometers. next hours you see talks with austria's foreign minister about the peace prospects in libya the future of nuclear energy out multiculturalism in europe also a debate about that. except. they. can't spin the lake they are strained foreign minister thank you very much for being with us today subversion so immigration is a big topic lately why do you think austrian people are so sensitive about

immigration issues of course we have to resist immigration in austria for a long time but if you have a look at the last ten years you can see the number of immigrants a single reason a lot because of the boy coming waltz a lot of refugees came to us through then stayed here and also from turkey we heard from a lot of for immigrants coming to austria having expected from school health from europe with the lights. on the other hand you can see the austrians don't have so many children so this is more or less the problem where we are it's a moment we have to recognize as austria that we will have of course a lot of immigrants also in the future just to stabilize our economic situation to have to transfer all saw to make our social system secure for the future but on the other hand we have to pay more attention to integration of people from other

countries coming to australia and this is what we have to do we have to we have started in our governmental discussed issues and i'm sure we will have a lot of efforts in the next year you know many people would argue that multiculturalism is dead in the united kingdom it is there in germany where you make of it in our striking thing it could be there at all times if you have a look at our history of course during the time when austria was an empire we had a lot of different countries. within and we have the moment to integrate the religions in australia for example nine hundred twelfth. almost one hundred years ago the islamic religion was recognised as an official religion in austria so we started very early to see that others are the

behavior of another religion but of course i'm sure there are we. have to start to pay more attention to this integration that that's and this is what we need in the life to see there are others we thought we have one common umbrella this is australia and we would like to come along with one nation for the future but being of course composed. people you've got have a very interesting point about muslim religion being recognised an official religion of the country you're now are bringing tough new law says immigration from eastern europe. but doesn't immigration from africa actually and muslim countries pose a greater social insecurity threat three a country as a have a look at the australian immigration situation we don't have so many people from africa maybe more in the future because if you have a look to all the conflicts in the north of africa it could happen that we could

have more people form these regions of course and we have to be prepared for that i think we have a discussion in the european union how to manage maybe a lot of fear for cheese coming into europe how to manage all the different member countries but of course this is a challenge we have to come along with solutions and i'm sure if you have a look to austrian government to do we will have to solutions also in the future in light of rain is in. then you welcome talks with everybody and rebels who are with people who are they think your half of our position i think we have come all talks with opposition leaders freedom fighters in libya to we have not really recognized them as the new libyan government i think it's too early because we don't know so much about them but what do you know about them what we know so far

is that in big there was a national council established and i think those people are responsible for people in being guarded in the romes in the other towns to be a new libyan movement what we don't know if the moment is if we could also be responsible for all the freedom fighters in libya i want to find it out i will go next week on the czerny in the region i will meet some of them so then i will have much better information but before you go what grounds we have to believe that they couldn't bury their own kind after. first of all there were much concerned. in libya tripoli and of course some of them have been all saw in the regime of gaddafi. refused because of that happened so this gives them of

course i think responsibility all sorts of people like that so i think we have to get more contacts to them we have to see who is really illegal or maybe for a new government who could be a representative for the different and then we have to be side if we could recognize them as the new leaders of libya but if you look at cafe thinking as of today do you think the west is taking revenge and then or is there really such a rush for regime change no i think it. it has nothing to do with the we were in which it is just if you have a look to the resolution of the security council nine hundred seventy three this is a story just to protect you williams in armed conflict we as australians have been very much engaged during our term in the security council in this field of protection of civilians in armed conflict would you consider sending in your trip

no because we don't have the military power for being engaged in with the euro planes or that all ships and so on you don't know. not in a position to do that but of course we will come to this resolution we have done a lot of humanitarian book we sent money in the border region to to metion and of course we allow all the. all the troops from nato countries to go through austria or to fly by other austria so this is what we can do in this moment to support this movement help what we see all this arab leader as far like paper puppets what do you think could be next after could happen i don't know way i don't know what country will be the next but i think if you have to really look to different countries every country for is so on is a special case but of course people are not satisfied in all the country it's we

still are living conditions we still perspectives there are a lot of young people without a chop and this is more or less the problem in all the different countries and so i think we are prepared at the moment in the international community that we will not end with libya but it's up to good people in the different countries to think what they could do to establish a new poll india country and how to come up with democratic structures we supported him up. it's not quite going on in the arab world right now or something is fundamentally changing surely it will have some kind of impact on here up what kind of impact do you think that will be if you do see the impact of that they would like to have more freedom freedom of expression democratic structures. elections of course we can support them if this is a goal to do just the pushouts of the regime representing them at the moment in

their countries this is another story and that's not our story so i think what we could use to support them in establishing democratic structure is a story from europe where we could do something for them if there was a civil war we should not be involved in but here i think in a country like libya with travel structure there can be a legitimate can. we hope so but for there to reason we have to find the old who are the new public leaders in the future i think it's too early to make real decisions about their frankly on a different topic astier taking a leading role for it dropping nuclear power in europe why are you click with such a leading role and back up we had a decision in the one nine hundred seventy s. in a referendum in austria not to move to use nuclear power in austria and it was

a very wise decision because if you have a look to the problems we have now in japan we heard in the past in chernobyl or other different places you don't know really what this is coming up with d.m. what do you do with all these different kinds of material when they are not used in the power plants we are do you bring them what do you do. to protect them with these materials not being maybe dangerous. situation. i mean if something is happening so i think if you don't have a clear message what this coming up after using these materials in the power plants it's really not wise to use such materials so we have made the principle decision in austria and we are now fighting of all over europe to convince the different member states in the european union in no one neighborhood

not to use nuclear power in diffuse we would like to establish energy in this country we invite all of the representatives to come to austria to see what we are doing. that is possible to have. for. all the different kinds of coreen energy and that is really work after how sad that our position has popular support among people but not politicians in europe isn't it great i think you have to be for in some countries like i'm sure many you have a real movement from citizens which are really against the nuclear power plants and other countries the opposite so you have to defer but you have to convince people the governments that it is possible to use green energy in the future and that we

really have for their reaction where we could go in the future with safe energy i think that's really needed in this situation here it seems like the situation right now is where it's going to happen i have an ear and you're a traveler that the nuclear lobby wired to us that's a quote can't be trusted now. we don't trust in them we don't have them in austria we have to recognize that every member of the european union has to decide what they are doing in the future but what we could do. as to convinced that it had not done you will you with or to know tiffs is the best will thank you very much for the synching with or thank you. as you know song was sixteen years old when he committed these murders that's not
