so that is kind of the welcome to libya, if you will.hen along the smuggling route once they get into major hubs along the way and the different migration routes, they may be handed over to criminal -- organized, no groups am at which appear to be transnational in nature. where again, they can be held for days or up to six months in some cases in order to coerce their families into paying a ransom. amy: where did they come from and why are they going to libya? >> so as i said, they come from a variety of countries in west africa say, from senegal mali from nigeria, but also the horn of africa as well -- somalia sudan as well as syria in some cases. every migrant a refugee has a different story. in some cases, it is really an order -- for the past two years for many, many years even undercut off feet, libya was reliant upon migrant workers. some fled in the 2011 conflict in some state. others came back when things appeared to be on track with the first legislative elections and there was a form of calm in 2012. but others them and then th

from eritrea, the route to europe leads through sudan and libya. there migrants from all over africa gather along with syrians who've been turned away from turkey since it stepped up its border controls. nobody knows how many of those who first have to cross the desert have died there. unaccounted for and far from any news camera. an estimated half a million people are currently waiting to cross into europe from libya. itself highly unstable, the country is simply unable to cope. >> misrata's security forces former militias in uniform. with no functioning government in the country, they can't do much more than send out patrols and keep a token watch over things. traces of the uprising of 2011 are still clearly visible. but so is reconstruction. miraculously, daily life goes on for now. large parts of the country remain lawless. that's why thousands of would-be refugees reach libya's coast with no trouble, aiming to continue by boat to europe. this coast guard member says he often finds bodies on the beach generally between two and ten a month. >> r

like syria or libya? well yes, they are obviously trying to find some sort of common ground on all these problems. on syria ukraine, they have common ground on iran. so everyone is holding that up as a good illustration on what can be achieved when the united states and russia foreign policy objectives fall into line then you can have a fairly large achievement. it hasn't been properly finalized. both lavrov and kerry are quite proud of this nuclear agreement, that has been reached. but at the basic level here, we have a serious difference in opinion on how the world should be organized. the united states is quite happy with it's position as a world leader. russia is clearly not happy with the united states position as a world leader. so when vladimir putin has spoked whenever people like sergei lavrov has spoken they have argued for a multipolar world. they have articlinged for a demotion of the united states as the global head. what russia wants is a system where individual countries are nonaligned they

after attempting to make it to southern europe through libya boy sen gal a long way from libya. have to think not only about embarking from a place lie triply but the overlapped overland journey these families are making. it must be very dangerous for all involved? a absolutely. a lot of attention recent any in the drownings as we would there should be, but what is not commonly seen these people have traveled across two or three countries, in dez certificates think i spoke with a somali teen that had been on a long journey and seeing people dieing of dehydration and extorted by traffic ears long the way. for many get on the ground that boat to cross the med mediterranean as dangerous as it sounds if you look at the journey they have been on for weeks months, sometimes years that they have been on from their country you see the risk that somebody puts their five-year-old on a flinch see boat. one of the fathers i spoke to shoulder me stab marks on his arm and his five-year-old son he said this is why we made journey they knew they couldn't stay in libya longer even though they ha

and if you think of libya, there's a question of what do these e.u. nations want with libya. well, remember kwlabe was largely -- libya was largely -- hillary was pushing for. from the memory side, there wasn't unity in pursuing the prosecution of libya because the pentagon was worried about the post-gaddafi environment, for exactly the same reasons exactly same lessons that were learned in iraq. now, there was considerable european push for war in libya as well from italy, from france and from the united kingdom to get at libyan oil. deals were done in terms of splits with the libyan rebels, the splits that italy would have, the splits that france would have. so it may also be looking at an excuse to get on to the shoreline of libya. they will establish a breach of security, and they will be engaging in destruction of these boats and people smuggling operations on libyan soil. amy: and the documents address the western back groups within libya and what they feel about this? julian: it has come out publicly, some versions of this plan have been spoken about in the media, the

has ruled out any course of action on the ground in libya. in many ways it's the humanitarian side of the plan that is attracting most controversy within europe itself given the fact that a lot of countries there are quite a lot of hostilities towards the idea of migrants. now the e.u. would like to establish a mechanism where at least 20,000 migrants would be given a permanent solution as refugees in the european union dividing the numbers up between european countries depending on how big the country is, how wealthy it is, how many migrants the country has the level of employment, those factors would be used to work out the mathematics. notably the u.k. and hungary say they oppose this. while the plan might be there in principle, nailing down the detail could be difficult. >>> let's talk to our correspondent who reported extensively from libya. this idea of operating within libyan waters perhaps forming partnerships are libyan authorities, i mean, just how realistic is this idea from the e.u.? >> well, it's going to be very difficult for th

you mentioned the essential breakdown of libya. what do you think the eu should do about libya? a protectorate? does that sound feasible? mr. posener: it is doable. have just come back from kosovo. it has been an eu protectorate and formerly the u.n. protectorate. we have created order. together with the kosovo, may i say, who have cooperated. to stop the chaos. it is a small country and has taken us 10 years. libya is a huge country and we cannot assume the will of the people is there to support an eu protectorate. but basically it wouldn't be a protectorate, it would be a colony. we would be on the receiving end of an anticolonial struggle. that cannot be done. i wish it could. not even the united states would be powerful enough to do that. something we should talk about regarding qadhafi, but that is water down the bridge. i want to say to you, i agree we should tackle root causes from lawlessness in libya to the terrible situation in somalia -- but that will take years. decades. we have to do something about the things happening now on our doorstep. we have to the one and no

this could include working in libya's territorial waters and also on the coastline of libya. that's something libya is not on board with. now, the foreign policy chief made her case knowing she had to have a comprehensive plan to win the support of the security council. russia said, for example, that destroying vessels in libya may be a step too far. there are many issues that still need to be worked out. the consensus is that something has to be done on the part of the international community to address this crisis and they are working on a resolution that they hope to circulate in the coming days. >>> now to asia where more than 1,000 migrants have landed on the malaysian island. they're mostly muslims from bangladesh and myanmar and many are sick and starving. they were rescued on overcrowded boats in indonesia. 6,000 more are estimated to be stranded at sea with little food or water. they're clustered mainly in myanmar. in the past they used to escape over land through thailand, but since thailand began a crackdown, migrants advocates say they've been trafficked to indone

as you know the state is very weak in libya. this is one of the reasons that we're in the crisis we're living today. it is very important that the international community support libya. this drama of thousands of young people dying every day in the mediterranean whose dreams will be broken even to those who arrive to the european coast have to. >> construction work is getting under way in nepal. in the historic town, workers have started the major task of saving important buildings from further ruin, but they've gone on to restore essential services including power and water supplies. nepalese ex-pats return to devastating scenes in their home towns. >> when a massive earthquake shook nepal his house collapsed burying his two-year-old daughter with it. it's a homecoming he never imagined. >> the image of my daughter is on a my mind. i have to deal with the pain much not having her and dealing with the loss of a home. i have not even started paying my loans. >> thousands of men from his district have been working in the middle ea

keith hill: speaking of libya, a two-part question. is our intelligence good, fair bad in libya? and if it's bad, is that because of the lack of human intelligence assets in libya. michael morell: so i don't know what it is today, right? i mean, i've been gone for a year-and-a-half, so i don't know what i don't know. but i will say this, and i go into extensive detail about this because of benghazi. after the fall of the libyan government, it fell apart. so libya no longer had the capability to deal with extremists. extremism started to flourish. as bad as qaddafi was, one thing he did very effectively was keep al qaeda out of libya. and he worked with is very closely on that. i had been to libya prior to the fall of the libyan government. i was in libya after the fall of the libyan government. so, one of the big jobs of the cia after the fall of the libyan government was to monitor what was happening inside libya in regard to extremism. and one of the stories we talk about in the book, which is really part of the benghazi narrative, is we were monitoring very effectively the ris

first of all is libya on board with this? we heard the libyan ambassador quoted by the associated press saying that he is not in favor of this plan. there are two governments in libya vying for control delicate negotiations with the u.n. involved to try to get control of that country. account security council authorize force if libya is not behind it? that's one question that has to be addressed. the other is what will happen to refugees who are seized in boats under international law. they're not supposed to send refugees back to a place where they've been persecuted, fleeing persecution. we've heard them say that they will not do that. the u.k. ambassador told me before he went to the meeting that any resolution would be in line with international law. they have to address that problem. it then there is the issue of what to do with these boats. if they seize these boats there is talk of destroying them. russia has expressed concerns about that, they don't think that that is a good idea. there are details to be worked out. >

what's the west role in libya is going to be? >> libya is unusual. one, i'm not a politician. what's important is this there are two issues in libya which are going to define a role for the west. one is the tremendous immigration problem which is happening, the other one is the terrorism. the borders in libya are opening. lots of people from africa and other places have used libya as a staging area to get on boats and get to europe. that is a problem that is increasing and we need help to that stabilize that. the other problem is lack of a police force we've ended up people like isis using this place as a place to operate from. that is unacceptable and we need help from the west to assist us to basically stop this. once those two things are taken into perspective, then the west will help us inputting things back. >> when gaddafi fell we saw europe throwing money at this problem. we didn't see anything positive come from that. we see libya in the state it is today. is there a role for the private sector going forward? >> tremendously. libya had a very small private sector. gadd

they are considering military intervention off the coast of libya and maybe even with some pinpointed strikes in libyan harbors themselveses to try to go after the smuggler boats. but when you're on the libyan side of this story, you just realize how difficult that will be. there is no really -- there are known departure points but they shift all the time. the coast guard was telling me that it's very difficult to go after smugglers because they adapt to any new development underground. there's also the fact that libya's coast is the largest in africa 2,000 kilometers and mostly empty, deserted beaches away from urban areas. and lately we've seen these migrants leave on inflatable dingies and they leave in the middle of the night from these empty beaches. also going after the network of smugglers will be very complicated because from my conversations with many migrants here in italy or in libya, it seems that this network of smugglers go across several african countries. it's a very complicated and sophisticated network of smugglers. and at the moment with the lawlessness in libya, it
