a little to do was once very cold syrian national council represents me to try to change people's mentality for the for god when people feel themselves it's become would be for a moment's notice and eventually people on the street weak and why even with the rhetoric growing stronger every friday many here are starting to question who is really pulling the strings trying to escalate the violence if an option r.t. damascus. the libyan our country's interim prime minister is in washington and purely for u.s. help to drive out the remnants of the old regime that does the new libyan authorities face challenges as a whole in the country together with powerful tribal leaders already declaring family are our enemy from the capital tripoli but it will and less pepe escobar however thinks washington is no longer interested in the country's political future . we have a little puppet you creepily you start for. me too as we call you know it was tough

syracuse university says the new libya doesn't change much from the gadhafi era state the only difference is the international community is now turning a blind eye to crimes against humanity there. the country is in chaos right now it's heartbreaking and outrageous as president obama said about the situation in syria no this iteration in libya is about way we hear about militias torturing people who are suspected of supporting qaddafi in the past and there was a hideous story about someone's fingers getting cut off because he was horsewhipped on the head repeatedly over and over again until his fingers were severed these are crimes against humanity that are happening in libya and there is no outcry by the international community the same international community that called for a no fly zone in libya to save civilians to save people's lives so really it's a very dangerous situation we don't know who has what capacity right now to attack

national iranian american council says it's crucial for regional stability that israel's war like cries are muscle. after three decades of little or no communication between iran and the united states there's no question that it's going to be a very challenging task that we all sides are facing and you know i think being on the precipice of war has to really focus the attention of various decision makers in various capitals and. focus them specifically on the need for all parties to compromise and there's a difference between what the united states and the international community are asking for and what the israelis would prefer and these negotiations are going to be an opportunity to figure out how to try to square that circle i think it's safe to say that any honest and objective analyst would agree that iran will not give up its nuclear program in its entirety but it will agree to limitations that are monitored america by the international atomic energy agency the clemency isn't supposed to produce instant success you're supposed to invest in a process over a sustained period of time where confidence building measures that are reached in the interim can pursue a tape trust building even when i was serving in the u.s.

government the israelis were one of a handful of countries that were never really interested in giving diplomacy a fair shake and that's one of the many reasons why it's really interesting on a line with the obama administration they've done a very good job of trying to take actions that would lessen the possibility of diplomacy being successful but the obama administration understands better than anyone right now what's at stake he's taken multiple steps publicly and privately to push back and i'm hoping that we're going to see more of that continue because if it doesn't they're going to continue to try to believe. in other news the plane that carried polish president lech kaczynski to his should never have taken off that's according to a new report released by warsaw investigators say there wasn't proper communication between all the bodies responsible for the flight as a result of plane was scheduled to arrive at an airport not listed as one of the whole it's available landing spots the paper also said the defense ministry and the air force had been in sort of the aircraft was ready for service and the pilots training program hadn't changed since the one nine hundred seventy s.
