tribes and many more plants western style democracy being imposed on libya or the m.t.c. standoff false democracy is just not going to work there's a lot of blood feuds going on not least more of the gadhafi himself. going to prominent and leading members of his tribe so what we're going to see is an increase in this into tribal warfare which has a political content is not just in the tribal it represents forces which want libya to return to independence and the financial times called the resource nationalism or go to parties government and the n.p.c. factions who all fight against other as world who want to sell their country so what is the way forward what can start this warfare between the tribes what should be done do you think. well i think the models we have to see in terms of regime change and the way libya has been subject to this is what happened to iraq and afghanistan and now to libya this is this is what is achieved by western intervention it's knocking out a country which was a problem for western domination of the world and especially africa it's about regai

so tell us what is happening in libya now just help out all of these alleged violent reprisals. well in some places the violence is. it's quite bad the town we looked out in was called and the militias from the neighboring town of misrata are terrorizing the people of to where they accuse them of having fought for qaddafi of having committed atrocities. in his name and you know the problem here is that the militias are not under the control of the political authorities the civilian authorities and vats the big challenge for libya going forward is bringing the many militias under a unified civilian command and that will help solve this problem do you think though the n t c could be capable of doing that or do you think there really is a real threat of the country slipping back into civil war. will the n.t. see leadership on a political level has been very good on this they condemn revenge they say libya is about building a future with human rights and the rule of law the problem is that the many militias hundreds of militias sometimes from just a neighborhood have many weapons no

other bombs are no longer dropping on libya the red cross says it's got a mammoth trouble ahead as we hear next in spotlight. hello yellow welcome to throttle the international politics primes and today my guest in the studio is eve. the international committee of the red cross says it's not leaving libya colonel gadhafi is dead later it was dark but the conflict isn't settled yet as people keep fighting and many cities are virtually destroyed rebuilding the country may take years making libya another long lasting red cross nish. how does the red cross manage to conduct so many people in ferrying operations all around the globe and what are the primary issues the organization has to face we're asking the head of the red cross. the international red cross committee conducts several hundred humanitarian operations in some eighty countries despite its purely humanitarian activities the red cross is not always welcome the volunteers have to take between the warring parties sometimes coming under fire they also have to show diplomacy skills to some regimes especially in africa and not frie

at the humanitarian situation in libya these days spotlights you know the media reports. according to libya's national transitional council that asked the mated number killed during the eight months of civil war is twenty five thousand bad boys have been found in mass graves thousands of families across the country awaiting to find out what happened to their loved ones the war accompanied by nato and strikes resulted in hundreds of thousands of libyans fleeing the country for safer places some of them again should found themselves only to leave crowded lampedusa island together with other nationals fleeing from their arab spring out of rest those who stayed in libya have to face the shortage of water medicine and fuel and the region's had permanent cuts in the olive trees of the supply the civic infrastructure has been so degraded it will take months if not years to restore and there's the short sub-saharan africans who came to libya as migrant workers before the uprising many of them have been persecuted by the forces of the national transitional council over allegations

other are they somehow related or not particularly what i see all these conflicts the decision to libya the crisis with the dollar the crisis with the american economy and the conduct of american foreign policy in the last period. is all part of a breakdown of the entire super power structure that was built up after b.m. of the world war two and nobody in washington wants to admit just as nobody in britain a hundred years ago wanted to admit that the british empire was in terminal decline all of this is related to the attempt to keep this sole superpower not only intact but to spread its influence over the rest of the planet and that. not surprisingly much of the world is not too eager to see that so would you say that what's happening in the middle in the middle east or northern africa right now is basically an attempt on the behalf of the united states to keep its game up very much so the. plan was first announced by george w. bush when he was president just after the invasion of iraq in two thousand and three at a g eight meeting and it was called the greater middle east project and

the international committee of the red cross says it's not leaving libya colonel gadhafi is dead nato is gone but the conflict isn't settled yet as people keep fighting and many cities are virtually destroyed rebuilding the country may take years making libya another long lasting red cross nish. how does the red cross manage to conduct so many troops are in operations all around the globe and what are the primary issues the organization has to face we're asking the head of the red cross. the international red cross committee come ducks several hundred humanitarian operations in some eighty countries despite its purely humanitarian activities the red cross is not always welcome the volunteers have to take between the warring parties sometimes coming under fire the also have to show diplomacy skills and some regimes especially in africa. i'm not friendly towards any kind of. our list of the current thank you very much for being with us here that are well this week the red cross was meeting the c.s.t. yell at the head of this year's tour which is the main the leading post soviet security

so i think libya is destined for a similar treatment what role do you think. the in the events which are unraveling right now i think russia given the history going back more than more than the cold war europe. russia can play a very stabilizing role as a as a counter force to this highly dangerous strategy of the greater middle east project of nato in the us in that region russia can play a very important role blocking. some untoward events from the side of the un security council in syria i don't think trying to the degree you say do be case to the un action. in syria but in more ways than that russia could play a very constructive role i think in the region to try to counter this destabilization i would hope they do. thank you very much for your time. a very warm welcome this is your news today protesters on the. street they have. to get. the human experiment. and it's. close to. something else with the late. i think it's. us crash. teams. in a truck season in st the i think strikes me as just programs increase that's what an economist. the headlines on our

that is to have that puppet government give the legal permanent basing rights inside libya something we've never had before and are quite often. some of the defenses and those they have nato forces in there the africa army is coordinating this new pentagon's africa command which is. interestingly enough created just after china's and six africa diplomacy where forty heads of african nations were invited to beijing and the enormous deals were signed with the chinese companies for oil exploration to build hospitals give soft loans everything the i.m.f. didn't do in africa in the last thirty years the chinese began doing and that had enormous results for china i know that you have a very interesting opinion of this who would you say pays for wars that were raised by the united states well you have to go back to the role in the last twenty or thirty years actually began in the eighty's with the role of the dollar as world reserve currency and china has an enormous trade surplus wal-mart is essentially an outpost of chinese manufacturing only in america today so the three hundred billion

of balls are no longer dropping on libya but the red cross says it's going to stay in the country because it has a mammoth job ahead of that and spotlight next year are. really the latest in science and certainly some of. the future. mission free accreditation free transfer charges free. range month three. three stooges free. jungly free volunteer college in videos for your media projects a free media oh god r.t. dot com. hello yellow welcome truth squad like the international politics prime cauldron of and today my guest in the studio is eve that part of the international committee of the red cross says it's not leaving libya colonel gadhafi is dead but later he is gone but the conflict isn't settled yet as people keep fighting and many cities are virtually this chalk proving the country may take years making libya another long lasting red cross nish. how does the red cross manage to conduct so many people in foreign operations all around the globe and what are the primary issues that the organization has the paste we're asking the head of the red cross. the international red cross commi

so i think libya's is just not for us and what role do you think russia should. be in the rent's force. i think russia given the history going back more than more than the cold war. russia can play a very stabilizing role as a as a counter force to this highly dangerous strategy of the greater middle east project for people in the west in that region russia can play a very important call blocking. someone toward events from the side of the un security council in syria i don't think trying to put it really as we do with it i'm going to pick a stronger u.n. action site for action in syria but in more ways than that russia could play a very constructive role i think in the region to try to counter this station i would hope they do. thank you very much for your time. a very warm welcome to you this is your news today protesters on the. street they have. to get the status of the human. right because it goes. in the song. to me but it's in markets and. looks. like. something else we played against these. us crash. scene. in a truck in st pete speaking just programs inc

is it possible well some people might say that in libya libya is not egypt after all first of all the americans and all of us can expel it was it still haven't analyzed the and he could duffey forces and see what they're made up of this is just plain unprofessional after all there might have been some democratic group there displeased it elfie but mostly there are tribes you see. so you think libya is not going to become a fundamentalist islamic state. nobody knows when libya is going to recover from its chaos look at iraq for example it's been more than eight years old and we still can't stabilize the situation at t.v. never stops reporting new casualties fifteen thirty to every day in iraq bombs explosions and so on have been so regularly that people used to. think this is normal but it's chaos over eight and a half years of occupation would be nothing they can do in libya it's going to topple so i don't think they've had much success in libya. according to as a levada center survey twenty five percent of russians believe could be was killed for knowing too much well at any rate the

military campaigns in iraq and libya. mr primakov thank you very much for coming here a lot has been happening in the world recently arad and israel for example have been exchanging very harsh words recently while there may be nothing new about that israel seems to be driving itself into some sort of self isolation should we expect any and reasonable starts from israel you know. i think you're right in saying that it is israel which is driving itself into international isolation and that shows in many respects one and perhaps the most dangerous aspect is there's collation attention around and even preparations for an attack on iran this is very dangerous another aspect of the isolation is that israel the government of israel in its fight for the status quo is pushing the palestinians to assert themselves as a state in various international organizations and they've already succeeded in. this also adds up to isolation for israel its public opinion against israel then there was the other situation you probably remember the

companies to get involved in the reconstruction of libya philip hammond is urging c.e.o.'s and sales directors to pack their suitcases and head to the north african country the u.k.'s bill for its part in the nato intervention in libya is estimated at just under five hundred million dollars but according to the u.k. department of trade and investment the value of contracts to rebuild libya in areas ranging from electricity and water supplies to health care and education could amount to put some three hundred billion dollars over the next ten years and the british government will make sure it takes a leading role in that just as it did in the war and that's raising more questions about the u.k.'s motives in playing such a big role in the recent conflict john hillery of war on want says it has shades of post-war iraq when companies from countries involved in the allied invasion were awarded all the best gigs. we destroy. journalist john pilger says there was evidence of battering before nato even got involved actually a transitional council told the french way. they were giv

(laughter). it's stwhraws little ball is spinning, he's just buffering! >> president obama supported the uprising, correct? president obama called for the removal of qaddafi. i just want to make sure we're talking about the same thing before i say yes i agree or no i didn't agree. >> jon: i just want to say something here. this is not a spelling be where you can just ask the moderator for the language of origin to buy yourself some time. "could you use that in a sentence?" (laughter) like "most conservative republican voters feel president obama's handling of libya was--" (laughter) blank. (cheers and applause) i'm sure he was getting around to answering the question at hand. >> i do not agree with the way he handled it for the following reasons: um... no, that's a different one. (laughter and applause) >> jon: (whispering) i am falling in love with you. (laughter) that's a d

there was there was no do you know the cover story was to protect people in libya so what they wanted to do is to get rid of gadhafi the europeans and the americans wanted assured access to european oil and on top of that american leaders are not unlike the leaders that were in moscow during soviet times they believe in the inevitability of democracy everywhere just is as marxism was it once believed to be inevitable and as a result they're of setting power structures centuries old and they're going to pay for it by an increased power among islamists and by civil war in those countries now the national transitional council says it has a plan on how to solve the population however we're just getting why is right here saying that the u.n. chief a u.n. chief or other is urging libya to secure khadafi said weapons that when you've got a country such as this where so many millions of people are is it realistic to think about disarming the population is that even possible it's neither possible nor realistic certainly you know what the main one of the main goals in afghanistan when we went t

nobody knows when libya is going to recover. from cale's look at iraq for example it's been more than eight years and they still can't stabilize the situation the t.v. never stops reporting you casualties fifteen dead thirty dead every day in iraq bombs explosions and so on it could happen so regularly that people get used to it we start thinking this is normal but it's chaos over eight and a half years of occupation there's been nothing they could do in libya it's going to be even tougher so i don't think they've had much success in libya. according to the levada center survey twenty five percent of russians believe khadafi was killed for knowing too much at any rate the us media wrote that washington had discussed various actions regarding gadhafi terminations of his life among others. the busted finally we've been watching syria and it looks now like the un rest has receded and an election is coming up do you think when this election happens bashar al assad can remain in power. i think in the case of a fair election he can re

one of the key points of the current nato strategy is to save guard democracy in the world when libya's gadhafi started to shell the rising opposition the alliance decided to intervene in just a few months because the new regime in the country taking almost no casualties the libya mission is now considered a model of a successful peacekeeping nato operation but many fear the alliance may assume the role of the world's policeman and start spreading democracy wherever it is design. is a privilege to have you in the studio thank you for coming thank you for the invitation ok well at first of all let's discuss the nature of russian matters since you're here since you're in moscow well. one of the problem is in the relations between nato and russia is there is that list and she'll think yes well they loaned it steps to deploy in this town defense in europe and russia feels that you know discussing it with moscow well russia has labeled it i quote a policy of established facts that is what how russia calls this may sound deployment this isn't to provoke growing tension between the two countri

that's nato troops are wrapping up that can pay libya are going to ask scott is the president of the alliance of parliamentary assembly what the intervention was justified that's coming up next in our need to be sure. culture is that so much of what is about the feeling goes i think if i'm going to give it real and be my principle the party is finally over at least it was twenty years ago the end of the communist party of the soviet union was the final step before the collapse of the you. know we're going to walk into the spotlight. today my guest in the studio is karl blabbers. the world survey libyan leader muammar gadhafi is dead after nearly a year of violence he was captured and massacred by a furious crowd now the dictator is gone and so is the nato support force the alliance tell downs of packing their bags to fly back while the world speculates if the intervention was the right thing or not many say should not have supported just one side of. the final good premature to withdraw now all of the good that his supporters are. so wouldn't it have been reasonable to stay and secur

a human rights group says the number of revenge killings by revolutionary forces in libya is escalating sharply the watchdog group claims and d.c. fighters are terrorizing the displaced residents of the coastal town of tal for supporting the kid off the regime one of the authors of the report fred abrahams from human rights watch believes nato countries must do more to strengthen democratic forces in libya well in some places the violence is quite bad the town we looked out in was called and the militias from the neighboring town of misrata are terrorizing the people of to where they accuse them of having fought for qaddafi of having committed atrocities. in his name and you know the problem here is that the militias are not under the control of the political authorities the civilian authorities and vats the big challenge for libya going forward is bringing the many militias under a unified civilian command and that will help solve this problem there is definitely a trend to say we did the right thing meaning nato governments they want to say that this was a successful operation so ther

in libya, he is told. they show the supplies that he had with him after his father's regime was tackled. he also carried with him a warning, that the country would see new divisions and that the former rebels still in charge would bring no good to libya. >> regarding the people of misrata, bin qazi, you consider them your brothers. go-ahead, give them a couple of months or maximum a year, you will see. >> he has been a doctor for his injured right hand which he said was heard in a bombing raid. we spoke to the surgeon who saw him. >> i found him in good condition physically and mentally. maybe he was a little scared about the situation and i saw a one to two fingers on his right hand. >> he is held somewhere here in the mountain town where he was brought after his capture. his whereabouts have remained a closely guarded secret. and this man had wanted to see him in court in the hague but he now seems to have accepted a message from the libyans, that saif islam will be tried in the country that he committed

law or is it possible some people might say in libya libya is not egypt after all first of all the americans and all the west national guard are still haven't analyzed the ante get up in fortunes and see what they're made of this is just plain unprofessional after all and may have been some democratic group there displeased with gadhafi but most of these are tribes and. so you think libya is not going to become up on the model of the stomach state. nobody knows when libya is going to recover from feels like iraq for example it's been more than eight years and i still can't stabilize the situation on t.v. never stopped supporting you casualties fifteen dead thirty dead every day in iraq forms explosions and so on it could happen so regularly that people get used to it we started thinking this is normal but it's kills over eight and a half years of occupation there's been nothing they could do and libya's going to be even tougher so i don't think if i had much success in libya. according to the levada center survey twenty five percent of russians believe gadhafi was killed for annoying too muc

nobody knows what shape libya is going to take in the future. if things go well, libya can become not a democratic model state, but to solve its internal differences by peaceful means. we have to imagine that each and everyone carries a gun. there are so many groups, islamic fundamentalists, people that yearn for the old bygone regime. it will be interesting to see how libya will evolve in the next few months. >> there are numerous reports of libya weapons showing up in lebanon and gaza. >> this is what we read and hear, but there is no real proof for the time being that this is the case. there might be smuggling going on, but there is no confirmed information on this. it is five times the size of great britain and many things are possible in terms of smuggling. >> lee will be back with more in just a moment. as the old colonial demarcations show signs of dissolving the, the single most unifying force in the region is as long -- islam. the party wants to establish a secular islamic state. it breaks the power of the western-backed technocrats. an
