12:02 pm
arms to libya france admitted it air drops guns in order to help civilians protect themselves and according to french foreign minister when it comes to protection of civilians all measures are justified they claim that u.n. security council's resolution allows them to do so russia believes it isn't it is unacceptable that it's correlates arms embargo to libya and russian foreign minister has said even though two ministers two countries have similar views on libya's future that it has to be peaceful and democratic states that's a u.n. security council resolution can be easily misinterpreted or solution nine hundred seventy three contains chapter four which allows anyone to do anything this very chance it was the cause of our problems with the mandate in all other aspects we support it and as we have warnings now we're facing rather unpleasant situations and it can be interpreted in most different ways i think moscow and paris and other
12:03 pm
u.n. security council members are interested for the body to release concise documents and international law does not need to put up with ambiguity meanwhile representatives over the african union have already spoken out about this saying that they are afraid of proliferation they fear that those guns make end up in the hands of terrorists and that's going to be a threat to the insider region russia's envoy to nato has said at a press conference in moscow that he fears that an on grounds operation is just around the corner and that oppression is only going to prolong this conflict and worsen situation in the whole region in general meanwhile when it comes to syria that's a foreign ministers are not quite on the scene between guarding that uprising moscow's stands firm against a u.n. security council resolution to which syria while france has been going on the council to take action most believe that we can political solution. all of this crisis is possible. for mr obama sat. in the house to sit
12:04 pm
down and hold such government instead of morey construction. and that's required to brussels with a lot of part of all states or national consultant and former deputy speaker of the belgian parliament thought he has to share his perspective on the developing our conflicts but as for all of them a thank you for being there with us now france is going to arming the rebels sauceda move is aimed at helping libyans to protect themselves but again many argue it's a direct intervention a into what is especially civil war now do you think it's ok under the vague wording of the un resolution. bringing. real solutions they are not legal text in the sense as the laws voted on that in a country basically interpretation of the resolutions is a matter of ideology and of color why does france interpreted this we because they can here is no international agency you cannot that's to program weaknesses
12:05 pm
lucian's should also not forget they're also drafted at least as you mentioned them some so interested suits their interests to do so they can just because they can this human research but also a show of power and interposition every which way they want does that mean a land operation could fall into to this interpretation oh yes absolutely i am pretty sure this is already on the table as a plan whether it will happen i can't until of course they can see the future but it's also not forget that behind the scenes the need to member countries are knocks on the same opinion on the issue they cover a dog but basically one of the problems that need to answer is they don't agree on them themselves and that's the only hope we have for entry to avoid and what i'm afraid it will happen yes ok well critics of the coalition say that regime change is the real reason that nato. or is it libya what if if gadhafi is ousted killed or
12:06 pm
perhaps freeze the country do you expect that nato forces will leave right away after that happens plus course not of course know that i mean look at what did it in other countries but they did in other situations of course it is not a because let's not forget we can argue not conscious like france and you kid have been saying already before the resolution regime change is the issue and now all of the sudden they would say no it's not part of the policy for some time they want to take over control of this country in this very important strategic situation between tunisia between egypt where things are going to the wrong way i mean the wrong grave for european union and and united states let's not forget democratic it whooshing these countries what does that mean it will mean governments take care of the interests of their own people and not of international corporations it's as simple as that ok well now it's been a four months of military intervention we see the number of civilian deaths at the radically increase and there are some reports suggesting that gadhafi killed as
12:07 pm
many of his own people as as the a coalition forces how so what are voters aspirations for libya well first of all we actually we do not know what happens it is probably a huge tragedy for the libyan people i mean to claim that you only buy into action and civilians if you bomb cities you burn to kill civilians no plan of natives clearly to take control of north africa what did this say that on paper already to say good night officially that the release of i thank you very much for your thoughts a lot of and also international consultant and former deputy speaker of the belgian parliament thank you jason. now with the war in libya at the focal point of international relations archly has gained access to credit are. targeted tripoli saif al is are being says countries that want it for its riches but says the people were fighting to make sure libya doesn't fall under foreign control the day i was

an f.b.i. sting operation that's three random behind bars for a fabricated crime questioning government tactics in the war on terror. dozens of militants have reportedly crossed into russia's north caucasus from across the border with georgia or this comes as russian officials warn of an ongoing terrorist search of the country are all over the details. we've been hearing reports quoting sources inside the russian security services that say between fifty and seventy armed militants have crossed from georgia into the russian republic of dagestan now it's believed that one of the group had been captured and interrogated by security personnel revealing that the group of militants had been trained and the punk easy. told by arabs the pine key
12:12 pm
area has become something of a hub for terrorist training since it the georgian army stopped patrolling that particular part of the bullshit crossing now it's the ideal site for militants wanting to get into dagestan from the very poorest border due to the mountainous terrain that exists there very easy for the group type to slip the notice through the mountains and into dagestan the caucuses are essentially russia's frontline their war on terror operations are ongoing there and the security forces have so far this year killed two hundred plus militants in the armed fossils in not area it's not just august on this goes across the whole of the area we're looking at in the shitty of chechnya and dagestan and the end of may this year we saw a major hole full of the security forces there they they captured a massive amount of arms and munitions as well as what they say was seven very large bombs around two hundred kilograms of t.n.t.
12:13 pm

12:14 pm
it is not for sale and message from the theorist public as plans to sell off many greek assets ahead week for incredibly proud of their heritage many people feel that the privatization proposals stepping grace the public. potentially up for grabs the lenders banks water companies insuring operators amongst many more at stake in the large telecommunications company aig he is also the sale. there's been a continuous crime for the past twenty years they've sold off a company piece by piece and now we only own a small percentage but that small stake is extremely important to the greek people they want to sell even though it. is a huge turn for the present governments who were heavily opposed to the sale of eighty shares when they were acting as opposition. called a national crime when the previous government sold shares and now they want to do
12:15 pm
the same and sell the shares now at a low price we don't think will seen investment or any development we think the only thing others will care about is profit profit profit. continues calls from the public to refuse the massive privatization proposals set forth by the troika seemingly gone unheard of their present from the european union is the remember we would talk about blackmail i guess the greek government critics of are backing a bailout acting out of self-interest keeping profits private as the last is. the thing you hear it's not like greeks have to stretch back in the deep history to figure this out we can look at latin american we can look at countries all over the world where the i.m.f. has come in and sacrificed and plunder the nation for corporate consolidation and prime minister cap and trade stake of avoiding the country's collapse at all costs . many are now asking just how high

12:20 pm
fracture terror plots like that they catch other people up and i can see how that in any way that. it's the country that means they can pick anybody up from new york city all course the united states and they could play you have to be very careful very aware of who you speak to who you are around because you have many. agents you have many informants that are out there that they are using the u.s. federal judge said our regis government behavioral was exercised in the case of the new york who are expressing doubt the convicts who for one of the planned events happen without the f.b.i. informant however the specific charges against the man require a mandatory minimum sentence of twenty five years in prison prosecutors say they manufactured plot would have been of whole lot so let's have it carried out and quote the fact that it was fake doesn't matter or enough or not artsy new york.

the new u.s. counterterrorism strategy calls for a less troops in war zones and more focus on drone strikes and domestic threats lawrence wilkerson served as this chief of staff to former secretary of state colin powell where he thinks the shift in america's counterterrorism strategy may actually under the war on terror. are we winning perhaps we are reducing it to a manageable level but we've sacrificed an enormous amount of our liberties we've sacrificed this we've committed war crimes we've done all manner of things in this process plus we spent about three point seven trillion dollars we're in physical straits right now that indicate we might and might not even be able to afford one strategy so it concerns me that we are sort of forfeiting the ability to fight the big one for the ability to fight a lot of little ones drone strikes or an incredible development the law of war has
12:22 pm
not kept up with this and our own constitution and our own interpretation of that constitution and the war powers has not kept up with this look what you have now you have the president preposterously or the president's lawyers arguing that these are not hostilities in libya per the war powers act that's nonsense certainly there are still these so this kind of thing drones and drone like apparatuses of warfare lead to these kinds of parsing the number of angels on the head of a pm and that's not very healthy in my view. and here's a look at some stories now from around the world to new york where dominique sol scott has been released from house arrest state prosecutors have agreed to waive a bail in the sexual assault case against him the former i.m.f. chief or close to six million u.s. dollars as a surety which will be returned to him the release comes after prosecutors raise doubts about the credibility of the housekeeper at the center of the case she claims to have been a very nice false god made allegations he needs
