and other oil companies wanted was quite clear i mean i researched and came up with a timeline gadhafi and blair may met the following day a huge deal was signed for a major oil company and the day after that prisoners were rendered by the m i six to the cia so colonel gadhafi got things by as well as people getting access to his country's natural resources if you if you follow that and understand them while you still think he was guilty i think it's quite clear he was a label on. seniority that the he was acceptable to the west and he was also no senior enough to be a threat to the gadhafi regime is the prospect of further convictions which may get to the heart of the decision well the could be equally some of these people are languishing in jail in libya and it's hard to get them out but there is one person who is out tonight mr kristol who is a foreign secretary he was obviously acting as a double agent on behalf of britain and america because his human rights was declared that he'd been told and and cia papers disclosed that he was sprung by m i six from chin is here he's been brou

colonel moammar gadhafi wanted to annex chan.he was an equally ambitious revolutionary but all the more powerful thanks to the money he made from oil. in the name of his pan african dream he ought to strip of land in knows who the neighboring territory of libya and launched a rebellion against is an apple. and. then. a son in to get it into the. gadhafi threatened western interests. not only in chad but globally. he supported revolutionary movements and financed international terrorism in. the west extended supporter is an outbreak that's absolutely and cost. to be you. around reagan do solemnly swear that i will faithfully execute the office of president of the united states and. we can and will raise out of the problems which now confront us you and the president reagan came into power we were instructed to do everything possible to stop libyan activities america was like going against gadhafi he was just doing everything to foment revolution so in that context chad became an important area for us the americans have the sort of

actions very successful in libya were remember that after the death of believe me or in leader moammar gadhafi then the president nicolas sarkozy proclaims officially the now leave is on the way to democracy. thank you. do you know how do you think you're the world you would get rid of it you would choose freedom the united states is committed to the libyan people you have won your revolution we came we saw very few died. but if we'll look at the facts and what is really happening right now we leave it on the grunwick and say that the truth is for all these years has troubled the region with a level of violence and just a police station just being dramatic. scenes thousand and eleven military operation has ventured to dramatic just a police station and a rise in the level of violence throughout the country and this is why the proposal to try to another minute to a ration in many asta. question whether this time it will actually work to help bring balance back or it will not work beirut based journalist martin j. believes micron's acting like the e.u.'s foreign policy chief and taking on too mu

gadhafi had come in out of the cold. gadhafi gave up all his weapons of mass destruction. and bush used to be so proud to say, gadhafi got the message. he's come in. and then, under barack, hillary clinton imposed her will, and they murdered moammar gadhafi, and the killing of moammar gadhafi wrapped a ribbon around kim jong-un. and it was given to you as a gift. you will never get north korea to give up what she has as a trump card. [ applause ] that's over, mr. trump. can you live with north korea with nuclear weapons? i think you're going to have to. even though you have war plans already, to knock out north korea. but china said, if you attack north korea, we have to defend them. china's right. allah don't love aggressors. he said, but if north korea attacks you, america, we'll lay out of it. so you went there thinking that you were making friends. wrong. you didn't discuss with china his plans for war, you have laid out in the pentagon how you can wipe the chinese out. but you don't want china, not yet. and you don't want kim jong-un yet, but you're looking for a soft

for african migrants being sold as slaves and european countries rushed to help libyans get rid of gadhafi quickly abandon them help them and legal migration be controlled in a failed state this is inside story. hello there and welcome to the program i'm laura kyle video of slaves apparently being auctioned in libya is causing widespread outrage politicians in europe are keen to stem the flow of african refugees and migrants but they often drowned in the mediterranean or left stranded in transit countries like libya where they were torture right and forced labor even by governments and libya is promising to increase the number of flights repat tracing stranded like prince and the u.n. security council has held an emergency session to discuss people trafficking in libya maybe as ambassador to the united nations is promising a full investigation into the slave auction video. by the madonna cannot go by the media i've issued directives to the specialized security bodies in order to authenticate the video recording and if the recording is indeed authentic then authorities will pursue the crimi

so they always wanted gadhafi. but what i did not know was the war at that time was on two fronts. >> yes, sir! >> yes, sir! mr. farrakhan: it was war with a muslim country in africa, but war on the nation of islam and islam period in an america. -- in america. >> yes, sir. mr. farrakhan: reagan was doing war games in california when he became president, he brought all that stuff with him into the white house. mease came. and the war games were practiced even more so because they expected, since '67 and '60, when the riots broke out and dr. king was assassinated the government of america knew the black youth were dangerous, black folk were becoming more militant. and instead of seeing there has to be a solution, let's separate the two people. but he didn't want to do that. kill them. reagan out. well, i start with nixon because that fellow was so bad. did you know that nixon, the whole thing about nixon was the left west, the antiwar group, and all blacks not some. , so the plot was against black people in general.

endorsed and helped form after the fall of gadhafi let's rewind back to two thousand and eleven. thank you. western leaders of libya was on course to democracy yet it turned out to be a rather gruesome process here's what came next this video purportedly shows libyan rebels torturing groups of black africans they've been locked in cages with their hands tied behind their backs and many of them appear to have the all libyan flag stuffed in their mouths these men were said to have been targeted by rebels after rumors emerged that gadhafi had hired black mercenaries the national transitional council seems to confuse black people with mercenaries black people are mercenaries for them they're killing people ordinary workers mistreating them so huge section of the population was being singled out and mistreated or even killed and yet human rights groups noted at the time that the plight of those very migrants was being all but ignored unlike today you see. they beat me with electric cable while my hands were cuffed behind my back and my feet were bound together with this suffered massi

one of the things i ask you is if their goal was to remove gadhafi from where he wanted to bring opera could together and make it a more unified continent with some for currency and things of that nature now you have this chaos and you have the blowback happening and all that since the fall of gadhafi and now you have the slave trade in libya was was that in your opinion and your research and your expertise was that the chaos of this kind of destabilization of africa was that on purpose and how does that benefit places like the u.s. the u.k. why would that benefit them to create this much chaos of africa was a benefit is that nobody can tell their president you know africa and get up. in one of his speeches i was just going over it in preparation was interview he kept pointing out the well. but very little of that well actually remains in africa. a lot of natural resources in his policy and i think if we're looking for the future if policy was. any aid that has to lead to increased wealth in africa that means. value out of you know like a secondary tertiary transformation of natural re

clinton and obama basically just withdrew after gadhafi failed. there was a moment when senator mccain and myself, rubio and senator kirk went to libya with a little bit of help, a little nato assistance. the vacuum would not have been filled by a bunch of radical jihadists. . the libyan people are good people. they rejected radical islamic groups at the ballot box, but the security environment completely deteriorated because the west abandoned libya after gadhafi failed. so at the end of the day, the story you told in libya about human slavery is true. and it's terrible. and it was foreseeable. and we need to fix it. and there you go. >> and cnn's nima elbagir and her team hadn't reported that, we wouldn't know that. in this day and age, there's a slave trade going on in libya right now. all right, senator, there's more we need to discuss. there are other developments unfolding as we speak. we'll take a quick break and resume our conversation right after this. us. it's what this country is made of. but right now, our bond is fraying. how do we ge

that libya is now a failed state but many argue that those who were affected the overthrow of the gadhafi government six years ago must share responsibility for the consequences of the political vacuum that was created among them the abuse of migrants and refugees who fled their native lands. just up the road the security council discusses what is to be done when. france calls for a strong expression of condemnation from the security council the horrific images emerging in recent weeks. they underscore the urgency of improving our global policy to tackle this scourge and put an end to this human tragedy. the un's refugee chief proposes immediate measures but says funds as well as words must be deployed strengthening refugee protection and offering solutions along the routes. including in chad and you share is key but dramatic funding gaps persist especially in sub-saharan africa some ninety percent of refugees and migrants attempting to get to europe pass through libya and it's the most vulnerable who are the prey. they sell africans over there in libya they sell men even fifteen year old

cause of the problem itself this would not be the kind of slave trade going on in libya today if gadhafi had not been assassinated and the country had not been thrown into chaos by regime change the human rights abuses staring the world operates today a stark resemblance to what was happening in libya six years ago when western leaders focus was hailing that off his demise and urging the country to pursue democracy but protests against slavery have also taken place in brussels where they descended into vandalism and looting. was a group of iran thirty protesters disrupted the event went on the rampage through the city's main shopping street they damaged property police cars twenty arrests have been made and witnesses reported seeing police helicopters. the american president has apparently agreed to stop supplying weapons to kurdish y p g fighters who are currently battling islamic state in syria turkey's foreign minister ses donald trump made the pledge in a phone call to his country's leader or to long. clearly stated that he had given clear instructions not to provide you with arms an

they saw what happened to moammar gadhafi. he abandoned the program and then the united states turned around and banned it. so they feel as long as they have the nuclear weapon, that will stop the united states from invading. they see all the military exercises, the trump movements and exercises, as a practice, a rehearsal to invade north korea. >> thank you for the insights and for joining us, appreciate it. >> thank you. >>> now to white house chief correspondent, my colleague, hallie jackson, traveling with the president. she's in another country from where she was yesterday. hallie, i'm sure you haven't slept because you have a lot of new information. talk to me about what you are expecting from this all-important trip to china. >> reporter: we've already seen some of it, kristen n the overnight hours. for you, daytime hours here in beijing, you saw the president receive this very warm, very lavish welcome from president xi. this one-on-one tour with each of their spouses of the forbidden city. pulling out all the stops. k
