and i said these people are the intellectuals of the arab world. they have their fingers on the pulse. >> and then to get into the culture we've had diplomats over the years to understand the culture and the language. but first of all they are not being listened to. >> the other wish is to finally abandon the autocrats and to understand the arabs much like other people desire freedom and democracy. don't listen to racist things like that that they cannot deal with it that's what young people want. they want to live in dignity by the security apparatus which we work with. so they see us propping up the regimes and they are angry. i wish we could finally make the break and say were hanging with the wrong crowd and we need to cultivate. and half the people that genuinely want to improve human rights and those democratic practices and do away with the corruption frankly. that's my second. >> my second rule of the middle east we always overestimate ideology and underestimate governance. how people are governed on a daily basis that matter so much more t

arabic my question is does it feel different where you're required to your own day to talk arabic that it does what you recorded or fred which if so. so when i started to sing in my 1st. passion started by covering other artists and it was mostly in english so english actually is my musical mother to mother mother language and then i found like my persona with writing about tunisia. lyrics except her and i have always been a little bit nostalgic to the period where i was in the middle bin i feel like rock music and metal has always been a little bit present and i've been looking forward to make an album in english but i didn't want to do it until i really feel like it's me in that i'm not copying anybody else and that i'm creating a new sound just not not just sing in english like sing in english but with the same passion and the same depth that i do know arabic exactly so when you compose the lyrics composing is it when you write the lyrics are you writing them in our bit. what language comes out when you put a poem put a lyric down so it used to be i used to write in arabic for the l

because the arab spring is not an event the arab spring is more than event it's more than a movement it is an era that we live in that's why 20112019 are 2 phases of the same era of the arab spring except the people of algeria and people sudan and even people of iraq to a large degree and lebanon have learnt from the lessons of 2011 now they mobilize more peacefully they're mobilized more intelligently because now people understand from what happened in libya and syria and other places that an eye for an eye leaves everyone blind that in the end of the day when there are no winners of civil wars and i learned a bit of that sunny when i was in new york right after the arab spring when i heard the great professor nobel winner joseph stiglitz economist talking to the occupy movement in new york in the middle of war street and i heard him say we are all inspired by the arab spring why because of this very particular lead that lists the popular mobilization of people demanding positive change demanding justice freedom and certainly less that any of the elite and more voice for themselves

let's give some credit to the arabs a class the arabs in this century are able to export something that's incredibly great to their so the world and that was the spirit of the other spring that was the idea of popular mobilization the idea of none is illogical percent a not narrow wide open. popular mobilization for reform do you think that's what has inspired many other parts of the absolute sense that we're seeing but also of course we've come at a time of history when this have come like a couple of years before that in the green revolution in iran there's certainly it's all coming around the time when the so-called social media 6 has become pervasive among people and certainly a great tool for organizing now to give social media and facebook and whatever else the credit of course is a bit superficial not not not say foolish because that will not give us the push into to understand that what drives these what is the tool is social media but if you remember 40 years ago this month the protestant iran and elsewhere were driven by cassettes i'm sure a lot of our viewers around the world t

arabs, and christians together.can withdrawal was hevrin black death? —— kevin's deaths? you are a colleague of hevrin, how will you remember her? how are you feeling? she sings. the first half of this weekend has brought more of the cloudy gloomy weather we have become used to recently but things are about to change. this haze of grey, that is the sheet of low cloud that has been with us, but this bright white cloud here is something a little bit more lively, it is a frontal system which will be pushing eastwards during sunday bringing rain, but it is a cold front, behind it will introduce colder but clear air. there is a fighting chance of seeing more sunshine. here comes our weather front during sunday pushing eastwards, very heavy bursts of rain, arriving in eastern england later in the day. we will see more in the rain —— way of sunshine, showers are wintry over fairly modest winter. an increasingly cold one, temperatures falling as a day goes on, big across parts of northern ireland and scotland. that rain wil

there are 4000 arabs and kurds in this camp. from towns close to the turkish border. many on the same day that fahad and hevrin were killed. and you've had family members who have been killed? would you be able to go home? many families aren't returning home, because of thejihadi militias like ahrar al—sharqiya now occupying their towns. but some have tried, and most want to keep their identities hidden. when you went back to your village, what happened? and the militants who are inside your village, what were they doing and saying to the people? do you think you'll ever be able to go back home? i wanted to find out more about thesejihadi groups backed by turkey, and who was responsible for hevrin and fahad's deaths? some people have been gathering information about the backgrounds of these militants, who are now fighting for turkey, and say they've got disturbing evidence about the pasts of these individuals. i've come to the hawar news agency. journalists here have been investigating the backgrounds of some 70 fighters involve

english they don't bring what they say in arabic unfortunately. the palestinians have rejected the proposed plan is there anyway do you think the u.s. and israel can breathe new life into. look the only solution in my humble mind is the emirates solution which i designed by myself actually a solution which is based on the local clans in the arab cities of judea and samaria therefore we should we should establish 7 anyway into then summary of in jericho in the bone in. a loveless janine qalqilya and tulkarem in addition to any date which already was established in gaza which is another and this is the only solution because it is connected to the sociology of the region which is based on the claim why all these planes which failed in their policy will reject them are based on idea of nationalism which doesn't work in the middle east look at syria look at iraq look at yemen look at libya look at sudan all these are failures only because they tried to create nationalism from nothing. ever failed in the middle east just like the palestinian nationalism

i said your biggest mistake is that you are arab.you are fooling the area you control like any other party, dictator or militia. so they are certainly full of faults. the end of the day, they are not al qaeda. - - is not to go out and kill americans. it's not to work outside their border. they wanted to control their country. that's bad because they should understand the tribal structure doesn't allow for that. they are now being forced into a corner when they started out. there were zero iranian interest in yemen. a lot of members of parliament in tehran didn't know what they were. ... are after all invading amn. and i have been in control with them in the emirates most of the south. and what have they done? it is not a success story there either. so the end of the day, are they good militia red militia, their middle-of-the-road. they're not al qaeda, they are not the lebanese army. >> host: wasn't right for the administration to assassinate qassem soleimani? >> guest: know that was a very bad idea -- very poor judgment. first of al

because much of the arab israeli relations. arab states der reproach men with israel will depend on a palestinian state. so this is the alienating. out of a serious in st reproach its between arabs in israel. as a suggestion of a the university of essex lecture in internationall relations and politics thank you so very much indeed at the time and for that analysis i would continue of course to reflect on the a trump p peace plan for the midde east announced a few hours ago. moving get more reaction coast including from our washington correspondenent coming up very shortly for now we move on benjamin netanyahu we stay with him he's been formally charged with bribery fraud and breach of trust came up he thought quest. for immunity from prosecution the israeli prime minister has had the threat of legal case hanging over him since november the charges willing to gifts and preferat media coverage. apparently it's for rick refine. benefits his trial. could open before march the second and that's is that the date set for another elect

arab terrorists attacking opec, the headquarters of oil power.ed and three wounded. >> there is no certainty, but there is plenty of speculation, that one of those terrorists who raided the opec meeting in vienna be europe's most wanted fugitive, carlos sanchez martinez, also known as the jackal? >> this is the clearest news film of carlos that so far exists. that's him breaking away, answering a call from near the plane. >> carlos the jackal i think had a real flair for publicity, becoming arguably the best-known terrorist of that era. >> but who is this man known to police as carlos ramirez sanchez? who was paying him? what is he after? and how many members in his group of terror? >> carlos is thought to be a venezuelan in his late 20s, moscow trained, politically motivated, and wanted by france, holland, britain, and now austria. >> he crossed frontiers on six forged passport on planes, spoke spanish, russian, french, and arabic. >> this is a face for international terrorism. here's a venezuelan working with the palestinians, allied with the g

and to 2011 arab spring to mind egypt about the united arab emirates saudi arabian support will you. iran and its broccoli other 2 turkey is trying to carve its own kind of block the. old steel mills who are devoted to bring about some sort of acquittal in the whole equation but also to their interests political economic social you know really just to sort that it's been. demolished just briefly before we let you go what about this conference then in berlin conference on maybe that's scheduled for january 19th i believe will it go ahead well even though the foreign minister you know he sees no points of it going to her house doesn't sign with him or her him an hour the president will go ahead and do the number of countries that will be going to do the opera to him and so forth so. that probably will go ahead of. where there will be a failure before you start on one side you can bear over there but the countries will want to be in both to be able to exert enough pressure on house to maybe those who are trying to persuade them not to participate in critical discourse we will see but al

we can understand the political sensitivity to some arab countries. of being decisive. people who are not with us, they will find themselves with the other side and i think that's unusual for arab countries. but doesn't it already look like arab countries have picked a side, and it's not yours. we have saudi arabia, egypt, qatar and uae, and bahrain and oman, who were present in the white house when this document was launched. we received phone calls frankly from arab countries who called us, "having our ambassador present at the press conference does not mean we support the plan," but doesn't it already look like arab countries have picked a side, and it's not yours. we have saudi arabia, egypt, qatar and uae, and bahrain and oman, who were present in the white house when this document was launched. you see, we received phone calls, frankly, from arab countries who told us, "having our ambassador present at the press conference does not mean we support the plan," so it's maybe a courtesy visit, people were listening. we have to really differentiate b

police force or an arab police force or something like this a peacekeeping force to ensure that there is some sort of. abiding of the arms embargo as well as ensuring some sort of truce on them and how to tyler talk with lovenox he left the tyler island of a kind of. heart of that had to tell you that you know had to tell you that he hadn't been him. i tell you at the moment but i mean to patrol the border if for example weapons are coming from a specific border do you have the ability to little would you require an international organization any years you've been an item in. the libya if you want to hold it would shatter i almost said that a lot of. that for any idea that's one of the lead yet what i would who would so a country market in that they wanted to see that so what up with there's not a shot idea market macgyver that have had a connector and yet as you say i'm fucked as you know want to there's you know down there we were. going after end up with iraq had that if we hadn't met yet what let's move on to the bigger international players and the foreign intervention i want to

arab leaders still he has. went through all the ups and downs of the. political problems that he never took sides very far he obviously was. because of. many issues. but he kept mostly not being involved in many. of the. up and downs of we. see for decades and i think what gain him venture that he was able. to have connections and contacts. with everyone while maintaining. some. minimal distance from the main conflict around he must've been diplomatically incredibly dextrous in that regard will he represent you know it's a very big pair of shoes to fill so whoever his name successor is. yes definitely i mean the. kids. that he left the letters field left are going to be open at some point but it's all the asli. prime minister and his cousin. say that saddam. has been brewing room for a while been attending some of. that would have been that we need to get him back home. from belgium too when he knew that was close to yes going to be tough for. any person after him not going to be in the same. must have the same connection but. i'm sure that the oman wil

it is vitatal to understand thee are not the arabs.hese are a group of kleptocratic who control their countries absolutely against the will of their people and are able to get away with this partly because there are elected by the united states. you had a few air governments that have either squeaked their approval or failed their disapproval or shamefully send their ambassadors to this sham ceremony. it is vital to understand what they are and who they are and what they represent. they don't represent anybody except the elites, which dominate those countries. thank youd khalidi, for being with us edward said , professor of modern arab studies at columbia university. his latest book just out "the , hundred-years war on palestine." we continue with mehdi hasan at the intercept talking about the senate impeachment trial of president trump. on tuesday, senate majority leader mitch mcconnenell told fellow republican senators in a private meeting that he does not yet have enough votes to block democrats from calling impeachment witnesses. d

police force or an arab police force or something like this a peacekeeping force to ensure that there is some sort of. abiding of the arms embargo as well as ensuring some sort of truce on them and how to tyler talk with luck and not he left the tyler island of a lot of the what he did see and how of that had to tell you that he had more you know had there any item on him. at the moment but i mean to patrol the border if for example weapons are coming from a specific border do you have the ability to prefer a little would you require an international organization in any years you've been an island and. the libya who you are who would share that that a lot of. that for any idea as one of the lead yet what i would who do so are kind of it in that though to deceive so him walk with his direction if you mark a bit more coverage that has had a connect and yet as you say and flocked as you know one of those you know down though he were in kenya to end up with iraq that he hadn't met yet what let's move on to the bigger international players and the foreign intervention i want to start with

so we look now and we say the persians, and the arabs, they don't understand democracy. that is not true. they are human beings just like -- the need for freedom is a very human thing. and everybody wants it. and everybody can get there. but the air of world they are going through what you went through in the middle ages right now. and hopefully it won't be as bloodied as the europeans. i don't despair and i'd don't think they need to be told what to do. they need to be given a chance to tolerate one another, live with each other and agree on a new social contract. and you need new social contracts in every country. >> host: i'm just gonna go around the room over here. >> you give a very excellent presentation. one thing you haven't talked i haven't heard is economics, job creation, rule of law, because when i travel to the region and i've been going to the region for the last 40 years. people say i want dignity but i went economics, i don't keep begging. >> guest: absolutely and lebanon again is perhaps a microcosm and good example. supposedly the lebanese ran out of mo

israel is you're in for peace with our palestinian neighbors and peace with the broader arab world for decades that peace has proved elusive despite so many well intentioned plans one after the other they failed why did they fail they failed because they did not strike the right balance between israel's vital security and national interests and the palestinians aspirations for self-determination too many plans tried to pressure israel to withdraw from vital territory like the jordan valley but you mr president you recognize that israel must have sovereignty in the jordan valley and the other. in other strategic areas of judea and some area rather than pay. lip service to israel's security and simply shut your eyes hope for the best you recognize that israel must have sovereignty in places that an able israel to defend itself by itself. for too long. far too long the very heart of the land of israel where our patriarchs prayed our prophets preached. and our kings ruled has been outrageously branded as illegally occupied territory well today mr president you are puncturing this big lie.

with the ambassadors of the united arab emirates, bahrain, pleasure to see you here, and what a signt pertains -- i was going to say of the future. what a sign it pertains of the present! [applause] p.m. netanyahu: to all of you and to the many distinguished -- other distinguished guests who are here today, this is a historic day. and it recalls another historic day. we remember may 14th, 1948, because on that day, president truman became the first world leader to recognize the state of israel after our first prime minister declared our independence. that day chartered a brilliant future. mr. president, i believe that down the decades, and perhaps down the centuries, we will also remember january 28th, 2020, because on this day you became the first world leader to recognize israel's sovereignty over areas of today a and judrea andt our -- of samaria that are vital to our heritage. [applause] p.m. netanyahu: and on this day, you too have chartered a brilliant future, a brilliant future for israelis, palestinians, and the region, by presenting a realistic path to a durable peace.

boy: [ speaking arabic ] lemonis: syria? that way.erally on the other side of the mountain. a country now torn apart by its own civil war. since it started in 2011, some 1 1/2 million syrian refugees have streamed over the border into lebanon increasing the population to 6 million people. many live in crowded makeshift camps like this one. i've seen it on tv, but i think to actually be in it is very different than hearing about it. i think what will be stamped on my brain and my memory forever are the kids running around. what happens to them? what's their future look like? on the outskirts of the camp, the women i came all the way here to meet. 23-year-old aalaa alzhouri and her cousins fled syria seven years ago. how did you get here? female interpreter: we were living in a safe country, but the events started happening in syria. and we were really worried about our young kids. every time a mortar would explode near you or outside your house and your kids are asleep, you're just sitting there incapable of doing anything about it. le

any arab that wants to drive me out someone that wants to see someone wants to drive me out. someone that wants to stab my god forbid much like we've seen before you know that person will be eaten up for breakfast now that one beat that would be something i would do personally the jewish people the state the police whatever has to be done that will be handled. not only are we looking over the temple mount seir the place where the golden dome is you know that's the place the holy of holies this is what the arab world wants and this is what they'll never get. abraham's children don't get along some brothers don't get along in this particular case in fact it's even worse because there's parts of a very very violent streak in a south and l. which is the combination and part of the muslim world today. there's addict in that says a south hates jacob was he upset that abraham or isaac only gave certain listens to him and certain other blessings the him the children of a ram have been blessed in many different ways that the jewish people i am isaac jacob king david king solomon all t

we can understand the political sensitivity to some arab countries.ment of being decisive. people who are not with us, they will find themselves with the other side and i think that's unusual for arab countries. but doesn't it already look like arab countries have picked a side, and it's not yours. we have saudi arabia, egypt, qatar and uae, and bahrain and 0man, who were present in the white house when this document was launched. you see, we received phone calls, frankly, from arab countries who told us, "having our ambassador present at the press conference does not mean we support the plan," so it's maybe a courtesy visit, people were listening. we have to really differentiate between when it comes to the moment of truth. i don't really think that arab countries will sell out palestinians. is the palestinian authority going to survive this? we did survive many things before and i'm pretty sure that this is not a death of our political dream. i will tell you frankly, yesterday our president sent a letter to mr netanyahu telling him, if you implement

egypt over to morocco was not always considered arab.the middle east, you are right in terms of the sheer scare over for - - scale of the war. certainly the great lakes region. the reason why sectarianism seems to be so contentious in the middle east. only 15 percent may be shiite. it's about a 50-50 parody which is why ever sense around the beginning of the century, there's been a sense that everything is in play. in conclusion, what i would argue is that people who are hell-bent on having a conflict, will always, for an excuse to have one. that can be political, religious, some other aspect. what i wanted to avoid with this. in this case, i will defer. i am a historian by training. which means i get paid to predict the past. i get that right about half the time. the point is i simply don't know. >> i think it's an interesting question. my mind went to when you raised the point - - - - asked me about iraq. i think the centerpiece of the struggle. i don't know whether those things will be resolved. the centerpiece is from the bottom up.

spring was beginning there was this belief that something good could happen in the arab world and in northern africa the u.s. president barack obama he put the resolution to the u.n. security council and intervention took place and it did not work the way it was planned didn't do you want to venture an explanation there what happened was the international community then too naive. well it is certainly illegal of to take the slogans alone like that and i am of mubarak and i would get on with suddenly these things would result in mental management change all on their own ethic slogans the one thing the programs and really significant change beyond just the head of the states because those states have really details the goals and and that is element of what has been going on across the arab world where you have the deep state that is the remnants of the storm regimes those networks as political or economic and security that works as a tradition that works how you got to a country beyond just that that you're here's how you deliver security i don't was the same branch as many of the popu

almost a decade ago when the hopes of the arab spring were high the u.n. saw a chance to intervene in libya to save it from moammar gadhafi and it does or dictatorship were to soon be replaced by a failed state human traffickers and fighting warlords tonight germany confirming that it will try to do what russia and turkey have been able to do mediate a peace deal to end the proxy war on the southern shores of the mediterranean i'm often berlin this is the day. the coup attempt or huffed are refused to sign the cease fire but there is a definitive result has not been achieved. first he said yes but then he left moscow. i'm against the ceasefire because we have to build military and police forces to end the militias to do its business the good german government is planning to organize a summit of. we all work in the same direction we're going to probably. no good libyan will accept any bloodshed from the sun a cease fire is a wise decision. also coming up tonight an exclusive report hiding his identity to bring the truth to what one hong kong police officer

with the bastards of the united arab emirates bus train and oman what a pleasure to see you here and what a sign it portends. i was going to say of the future what assigned it portends of the president. to all of you and to the many distinguished other distinguished guests who are here today this is a historic day and it recalls another historic day we remember may 14th 1908 because on that day president truman became the 1st world leader to recognize the state of israel after our 1st prime minister david ben-gurion declared our independence that day charted a brilliant future mr president i believe that down the decades. and perhaps down the centuries we will also remember january 28th 2020 because on this day you became the 1st world leader to recognize israel sovereignty over areas in judea and samaria that are vital to our security and central to our heritage. and. and on this day you to have charted a brilliant future a brilliant future for israelis palestinians and the region by presenting a realistic path to a durable peace. since the moment of its birth israel is you're in fo

with trump the arab gulf states in the region they basically seem to be getting further and further away from the bus in fact there's only one arab country which does stand side by side with the palestinians is perhaps jordan and even this is kind of partially here i don't see israel giving any control to the palestinians it only brings on more clashes it only brings on more potential suicide attacks i just never see it happens the proposal also calls for recognizing israel's settlements in the west bank that there's a settlements the international community considers the illegal why should the palestinians around that negotiating position. well international community says a lot 7 of things is illegal but in fact if you don't mess up the timeline of history then i'll be pleased to bring in some context here and tell you that in 917 the balfour declaration here that whereas when. 4 of the united kingdom has handed over the jews from the mediterranean sea all the way to the jordanian iraqi border the modern day job any iraqi border a state of their own now obviously that is at least

arab and muslim communities both here in the united states and around the world i mean you mentioned being imprisoned there that's being tortured there how has this person affected those communities thank you so much for that question i think one tunnel bay is precisely there for this reason to project fear into the hearts of americans who are arab and muslim and into the hearts of arabs across the planet and muslims across the planet we know that the number one. them one demographic there were afghans and saudis and yemenis pakistanis and algerians i happen to be algerian american but i can tell you that across the muslim majority world in the arab world people are terrified at the stigma even if you're released without charge being innocent is an believe it's 6 forever and so if you are helping one condom well you're not considered a victim of american abuse you're considered a terrorist even though it's untrue. and so that is the actual that is the primary political work that guantanamo does is it terrifies muslims and it terrifies muslim americans and it doesn't allow us to mobil

its birth israel is you're in for peace with our palestinian neighbors and peace with the broader arab world for decades that peace has proved elusive despite so many well intentioned plans one after the other they failed why did they fail they failed because they did not strike the right balance between israel's vital security and national interests and the palestinians aspirations for self-determination too many plans tried to pressure israel to withdraw from vital territory like the jordan valley but you mr president you recognize that israel must have sovereignty in the jordan valley and the other. in other strategic areas of judea and some area rather than pay. easy lip service to israel's security and simply shut your eyes hope for the best you recognize that israel must have sovereignty in places that an able israel to defend itself by itself. for too long far too long the very heart of the land of israel where our patriarchs prayed our prophets preached and our kings ruled has been outrageously branded as illegally occupied territory well today mr president you are puncturing t

on march 2nd the 2nd component his position is the fact that he wants to do it in cord nation with arab partners with countries or jordan egypt and others he doesn't want to go ahead in the next the jordan valley without having prior understand there's been agreement with the king of jordan for instance so he wants a coordinated move and he did not really address the specifics of it it's not clear where where he stands on particular and station of particular territory so we have to wait and see what his the specific position is shibley nor i just we thank you very normal. gardner i with all due respect and before we hear from shibley i just want to raise something that i don't want to normalize in this conversation and what we're hearing about benny gantz is that he wants to coordinate with other arab partners in order to somehow collude against the palestinians jordan has entered into a permanent peace agreement with israel since 1904 and ceded any any kind of claims over the west bank which is a historic claim that it's been making so the fact that we are somehow opposing dance willin

and muslim and into the hearts of arabs across the planet and muslims across the planet we know that the number one. them one demographic there we're asking fans and saudis and yemenis pakistanis and algerians i happen to be algerian american but i can tell you that across the muslim majority world in the arab world people are terrified at the stigma even if you're released without charge being innocent is an believe it's 6 forever and so if you are helping one condom well you're not considered a victim of american abuse you're considered a terrorist even though it's untrue. and so that is the actual that is the primary political work that guantanamo does is it terrifies muslims and it terrifies muslim americans and it doesn't allow us to mobilize and to organize because we're scared that will be shipped to hunt on him or any point and so that's that's actually one of the reasons why it's such a terrible place and it needs to be shut down immediately completely agree as an attorney what obstacles have to the law as. presented to civil rights attorney or the attorneys for the men held

we address so a speech to the whole arab world to its people and leaders to its youth and saying that a national war is being fueled by this to range tech assault on throughout the whole region targeting the at a bit tentative from its west to its east. khalifa haftar self declared libyan national army has been fighting to take control of tripoli since april. more than 20 rockets hit civilian areas of tripoli shortly after his speech half stars backed by turkey's regional rivals saudi arabia egypt and the united arab emirates turkey is determined to support the un backed government defending the libyan capital turkey's parliament approved the deployment of troops to libya last week after the g.n.a.t. asked for military support but there are still no confirmed details on timing troop numbers or what role they'll take. in a statement the u.n. secretary general antonio terra's said he wants an immediate cease fire and a return to political dialogue by all parties but even the un backed government seems to have lost faith in the un's efforts on the ground one senior g.n.a.t. leader told l

in palestine and in the neighboring arab countries and that seems to be. the most important thing that. he hopes that the that will bring palestinians back to the negotiating table alexander this was indeed as you mentioned their light on specifics but we did get some cues in clues rather in fact as to what the potential map could be here specifically benjamin netanyahu saying that the united states will recognize sovereignty in areas vital to securing. and he included the jordan valley in fact in that reference something which is sure to be controversial given this what does trump hope to get from this deal. well i think that president donald trump was not only addressing israel and the palestinians touring this these statements but of course he was also addressing his space here in the united states christian of and jelly because who support the state of israel and of course also influential members of jewish communities in the u.s. that president trump is hoping to win over from the democrats we have to keep in mind that we will have a presidential elec

on the arab states, what constructive role do you think they can play?he administration at the white house is that they would give a qualified lacing. the expectation is they will not embrace the plan, it is too heavy for them. they have read it, interesting elements here, they could say they are worthy of negotiation, a senior arab diplomat said it is a good start. now you quys said it is a good start. now you guys have got to sit down and take it from here. i think that is the best you can hope for, that would have been a worthy objective. something people in the administration were really hoping for, and now that is at risk. until the annexation piece is pushed off, i hope it is not too late, but i worry that is the takeaway message today, that you can cherry pick of the good parts right now, right up front, at the other stuff, we will see about that later. and we'll take another look at how this story — and many others — are covered in tomorrow's front pages at 11:30 this evening in the papers — our guests joining me tonight are the assistant editor

spring was beginning there was a spy leaf that something good could happen in the arab world and in northern africa the u.s. president barack obama he put the resolution to the u.n. security council and intervention took place and it did not work the way it was planned do you do you want to venture an explanation there what happened was the international community venn too naive. well it is certainly believe that after the slogans alone like that and i am a particle down there with them with a certain banality that these things would result in met all manner of us change all on their own i think slogans were one thing the programs and really significant change beyond just the head of the states because those states had gritty details of goals and and that is an element of what has been going on across the arab world where you have the deep state that is the remnants of those former regimes those networks as political and economic and security networks as patronage that works how you got to a country beyond just that that your homes i had to limit security and almost disenfranchise m

and comprehensive mobilization i address my speech to the entire arab nation its people's army is. that this mark are 2 months old ignited with the use of a national war targeting the arab nation by declaring that leave is his heritage. now 2 rival administrations have been vying for control of the libya since 2041 they d.n.a. is based in the capital in the country's west and the other in the oil rich east the parallel government is allied to us forces which have been closing in on tripoli in recent months mark ellman from the crisis research institute told us more about the local regional power struggles currently playing out in libya. 2 democratic legitimacy is in combat here saying we represent the people of libya the really of them as a chunk of the libyan population but those chunks of quite antagonistic to each other there's a lot of regional complication a lot of rivalries going on in the background of the president of turkey has conclusively for with the saudis and them iraq to use his big friend of the government cattle and they're drawn with. who are supporting president

the coals internationally it's a day late in the safe civilian lawyers from i look at the after the arab spring started until it doesn't happen and 9 years later all something about the situation is radically different it is the u.n. security council's framework which is working as the in many allegations maybe little rocks but how they support it discreetly put it out there since the 101415 during the 2nd civil war and then not allowed to sanction him or threaten him or condemned and that this is the members of the un security council framework and the framework that is just the result of conflict and i'm pretty steadily and learns has really been threatened by the example of the convert well we distill this down for us if we go back to 2011 there was disbelief the arab spring was beginning there was disbelief that something good could happen in the arab world and in northern africa the u.s. president barack obama he put the resolution to the u.n. security council and intervention took place and it did not work the way it was planned didn't do you want to venture an explanation there wh
