they believe the consensus for removing moammar gadhafi is growing. they point to turkey's recent statements, russia's recent statements and they will be looking at the meeting to find more support among arab nations as well, indeed perhaps financial supporters as well as the same time in the united states congress to unfreeze some of libya's frozen financial assets so they can be released to the rebels at this time. also trying to find money, we'll be making sure there is a transparent mechanism tore dispensing that money in the way and what it is spent on. we're expecting some discussion on what happens when moammar gadhafi does go from power, how quickly that will happen. what political, economic and military steps will need to be taken in the first few days to try to ensure security and stability in the country as it goes through that transition. these are likely to be the principle things here. interestingly, many of the officials involved don't know presiszly who will be around the table. they'll be anxious to see when they will sit down. that w

beyond that, it's sort of quietly said on the margens if a nato bombs happens to land on moammar gadhafi, no one is going to shed a tear. there seems to be a fine line that's being walked here between targeting gadhafi and a rocket that might land in his compound, might land on him. but certainly the intent of the international community now seems very, very clear that moammar gadhafi must go. if he isn't beginning to step down, they know that it may well happen through a nato bomb. monita. >> nic robertson at cnn abu dhabi. thank you so much. you're watching "world one" live from london. >>> still to come, a killing that shocked pakistan. the death of a young man caught on tape leaving the troopers who shot him in the dark. your favore but it's time for your medicine, okay? you ready? one, two, three.

that moammar gadhafi is an eccentric irritant is a fact. whether he is a war criminal is a matter before the international court. it is gadhafi's conduct in libya es current civil war that prosecutors say. demonstrators were shot at by gadhafi's forces and from misrata, where government forces are said to have used sniper fire on the civilian population and to have shelled the town. not just the libyan leader is cited by the prosecution. his son, who acted as the regime's frontman earlier in the conflict, but who has gone quiet lately is also accused, as is the country's shadowy intelligence chief. moammar gadhafi has been accused in the past of supporting international terrorist groups like the ira and those behind the lockerbie bombing. this is the first time that proceedings have been initiated against him. an arrest warrant from the international criminal court increases the pressure on moammar gadhafi, but it doesn't mean he's about to face justice. any country accepting the icc's jurisdiction is obliged to arrest him if he shows up the

is issuing of an arrest warrant for moammar gadhafi will mean for the war in libya because dean baker deficit talks in washington are misguided and if the american worker has already lost and will look into what could be next for hacktivists after lol security announced this saturday that they're done or have all of that and more free to night but first let's take a look at what the mainstream media has missed. well today we all learned what we already knew was going to happen because she already announced it at the g.o.p. debate in new hampshire a few weeks ago the michele bachmann would be running for president now just by already knowing this for a number of weeks apparently the mainstream media thought it was breaking surprising jaw dropping news my name is michele bachmann i stand here in the midst of many friends and many family members to announce formally my candidacy for president of the united states it was right here that she made that announcement and repeatedly tried to make that connection to iowa voters saying that everything she ever needed to learn in life she learned

international criminal court we have yet to find out how exactly they will go about arresting moammar gadhafi the i.c.c. did say that the libyan people themselves will arrest gadhafi but of course. he is called words remain defiant and say they will continue to fight to the very end and they basically said they don't particularly care for this particular decision as a matter of fact there were reports of intensified bombing tripoli just this morning there were reports that blasts have been heard very close to gadhafi compound this was supposed to be enforcement of a no fly zone in libya and yet already we're talking about. according to libyan government we're talking about hundreds of civilians being killed as a result of the nato airstrikes of course. until not so long ago denied being at fault for it at this point is kind of a situation which is just hanging in the air and whether this particular latest decision from the i.c.c. whether that will have any effect on the situation in libya remains to be seen. constantine cosa charge chairman of the state duma's foreign affairs committee explai

we heard today, allegedly live, his voice, moammar gadhafi, vintage, defiant, gadhafi. >> yeah, i mean coming up with phrases like, we will not surrender, not give up, a million times better than surrendering. and so on and so on. it went on for about five, six minutes, i guess. we're not sure where he was. his officials all along said he's still in tripoli. his compound, we understand, has been hit several times today. but we don't know if he is there or if he's elsewhere in the city. and just within the last few minutes he's actually appeared on libyan tv, greeting tribal leaders. again, we don't know when that was recorded, where he is, what is his current condition now. his spokesman is about to give a press conference in the next few minutes so we may get more details then. >> dan rivers, appreciate you out of tripoli. >>> and now if it's interesting and happening right now, you're about to see it. rapid fire. let's begin with this story. congressman anthony weiner says he will cooperate with the likely ethics investigation hanging over his head. he vowed not to resign after he sa

on his own to speak to moammar gadhafi.they keep on coming up with the same unimplementable solutions over and over again. nato near moammar gadhafi himself have ever shown any sign of wanting to seize fire. they want the rebels to talk with moammar gadhafi. they don't want talks between themselves and moammar gadhafi. they want gadhafi to stay down. so the a.u. has been able to come up with a plan "b" to all these obstacles and i really hope they prove me wrong today. i don't expect anything new to come out of the discussions today. >> that's unfortunate to hear but at the same time, they keep coming up with solutions that can't be implemented. do they have a stance, have they hinted at all about how they feel, whether publicly or behind the scenes? do they want him to stay? do they want him to go? >> reporter: they haven't said whether they want him to stay or go categorically but for them, the mere fact that they're pushing for him to talk so the rebels mean that they feel that they want him to stay in order for some kin

the world wants moammar gadhafi out, but nato's clear it is not specifically targeting moammar gadhafifter all these weeks of bombing, he can still survive? >> i doubt it very much. but nato is taking a big gamble. i think as you said, nato has been relentless in its campaign against gadhafi. they're trying to kill gadhafi and the inner circle. but i would go further and say even if gadhafi is killed, this would not be the end of the libyan situation. libya is already in the thick of civil war and i fear it's going to take many months, if not a year or two, before we see the end of the libyan situation. final point, gadhafi is not going to go anywhere. his back is to the wall and unless he's killed i don't think there will be a resolution to the current crisis in libya. >> so let's turn to syria where things seem to be escalating today. it is a friday, the muslim brotherhood has called for protests in the streets as well. we're watching closely to see what develops today. another teen was reportedlier to toured and killed, reports overnight that the military has launched operations to

decision to bring moammar gadhafi to justice i'm joined live by patrick hayes a london based reporter for online magazine spiked thanks for joining us there patrick now the warrant is issued but do you think the libyan leader is likely to be prosecuted or is it just an intimidation tactic. well i mean i think alternately what this does actually in many ways actually shut off any possible escape routes for him so it means that really he's in a place where he's going to have to fight to the very end now and live up to his promise to fight and die on libyan soil so i don't think it helps matters and it certainly doesn't help matters for the libyan people when the international criminal court comes in and basically presumes all four of the other libyan people for taking you know for a meeting out justice on gadhafi this shouldn't be any business of the international criminal courts there should be for the libyan people to resolve their affairs with gadhafi so you're saying this could actually along the conflict then you say shut off all escape routes that will encourage gadhafi to stay in
