. >>> all right roberta, you just came back from paris, france. >> what was that?they didn't frisk you, did they? >> yeah, they did. i kind of liked it. actually layed out my wardrobe the night ahead of time just for that, you know. >> all right, let's forge ahead now. a start to the city of san francisco after today's high temperature. i'm just kidding. 64 degrees. it was actually warmer today than yesterday. but equally as warm again tomorrow. tonight overnight with cloud cover. i'm kidding. 40s and 50s across the board. winds are out of the west. rain still to the north of the bay area. it's going to stay there so any chances of precipitation in the bay area has been wiped out for tonight. even though we have a series of weak disturbances offshore being guided this way by very vigorous jet stream. a slight chance of rain tomorrow, but if we see anything, it will amount to a few .1 of an inch, that's it. otherwise tomorrow, your numbers with the partly to mostly cloudy skies. 60 in pacifica, up to 74 at the delta, otherwise 70 in santa rosa. the extended forecast

tensions between washington and paris, france. the no-fly zone we had over iraq was in place for a deck. it's very costly and there was no fighting going on. so you could imagine in a war zone, this would be financially and diplomatically costly. >> this might sound like a strange question, but for all the blood and terror being stilled -- spilled does libya really matter? are there other things that the region that matters more? >> that's a good question. i think that's what gates was implying, that it doesn't. our strategic interests depend on egypt being stable. th depends on saudi arabia and i reign i ran. those countries matter a whole lot more. gwen: i guess the best of all worlds would be that libyans rise up and get him out of there and get gaddafi out on their own. watching all of this from the sidelines is a clutch of men and women, all republicans, who would dearly like these problems to become theirs. these are the current and former lawmakers and at least one big business mogul who are engaged in contemplation about w

as winning is to make his policies even more extreme and you see paris. france and italy this week announced a plan to send competent fighters into libya leading some to speculate that it's opening act to a ground operation there but journalist tons thinks it's slipping out an important potential plan definitely china is part of this equation that worrying washington i'd say rather more than european union leaders definitely only has a look at khartoum to see trainee's investment in africa he was one person who for all his privatization and later suddenly coming back to the question he still didn't like african american defense network some people would say that china ironically has some colliding ambitions as it were when it comes to libya because bahrain and saudi are currently in the throes of demonstrations not covered on western corporate media and ironically china needs a stable saudi arabia and bahrain for its own energy needs so u.s. interests and chinese interests are one in the same to a degree. and experts at the international monetary fund's predict

french government today stands accused of doing the same to its own citizens the new bushel of paris. france and italy are calling for europe's open borders to be closed thousands of immigrants arrive in the e.u. following the unrest in north africa many are tennesseeans hoping to be reunited with their relatives in france but the country's a far right leader says that france can't cope with the influx that so many of you what's coming your way in a just over an hour's time right here r.t. . they say we're in a democracy but authorities refused to show the real figures on how many immigrants there are there are probably six to seven million muslims here already plus additional immigration on a massive scale each year this is an all the nice replacement of our population this threatens our very survival we don't have the means to integrate those who are already here there is a lot it's endless cultural conflicts you can be against immigration fight immigration suspend all immigration but not hate immigrants as individuals i understand immigrants wants a better future here but i honestly say t

ok if i go back to france one in paris one of the biggest problems with these interventions as of late libya or maybe even afghanistan and we can look at iraq is the and the game now has anybody smart people that planned this military event with their bleeding hearts thought about the end game what comes next year are we going to have a fair trial for the deposed or is it just going to be winner take all yes this is a very interesting question because this is this kind of idea of what the people who planned this operation think what we should try as much as possible to remain neutral and to look at the reality on the facts and the question here is not to to call to or to measure who has more blood on his hand whether ouattara or or or we have an electoral process and then after that we have an electoral dispute but not a was hard to solve this electoral dispute and again you have to go back to the text. could give what was a sovereign country with a constitution what did the constitution say it because he said that it is up to the constitution or courts to decide who was the winner. bu

has three decades of experience in defending people in death penalty cases and joins us now from paris france robert thank you so much for taking the time to join us today let's start with the latest developments the appeals court awarded your former client from the average of all the new sentencing hearing what is your reaction is this really a positive positive development or should we tamper with our i certainly you see it very well and i'm a lady. it's my worry that was before that. i did that in the prosecution and i think months. if that happens they will occur. less and happy and the only they will meet. with. certainly by a lady in the u.s. a member than seems to lie in the well established from the u.s. so. this is a proper decision now what happens in the u.s. we were at best another question why why do you think it is that we may have gotten so much international attention i mean he's written a book has had honorary citizen status or something like twenty cities i believe across the globe that went through through noam chomsky countless others have really rallied to take this cause

we went as far east as paris, france, and and as far west as afghanistan, where they had events. everybody came together for a common message. you have gone too far, let's get back to creating jobs. we are now talking about the very things that you say. where do we go with this? bringing people into washington, d.c., is sometimes very exciting. bring people into columbus, is sometimes very, very exciting. we're working on the various states and having everybody come together. we are one. for the first time, in recent history, the labor union surely is one with the law of our allies. nothing is specifically plant. but i can promise you that they are being fought about and work towards. -- thought about and worked towards. >> i would like to direct this question to my combat tree its from michigan first grade when we look at the north american company -- to my compatriots from michigan first. it is not just the united states problem. what should be our approach to our workers across the river into canada, workers in mexico? what should be our relation to the international labor org

sides in the conflict john locke and the spirit of these needed for democracy the operation in paris says france is pursuing its own agenda. what business is it of the west in my view not at all and yet the west in this case from but by means of the united nations has got into the habit of intervening systematically in other people's conflicts we know that from this is not neutral in this political crisis because france has said repeatedly and explicitly that it wants not only to step down so there is absolutely no shred of neutrality about france's position and yet these un troops that we hear about are in fact of course french troops and they take orders from paris they don't take orders from the united nations they take them from paris and my concern about this intervention is that it frankly damages the authority of the united nations because nobody you know is ever going to believe that the united nations intervention in the future is neutral when we can see in the united nations intervention as in this case being used for explicitly political purposes. for democracy and to operation in par

paris. julian france i was the sending combat advisors to libya in a move which prompted a fresh wave of criticism towards nato peace activist jim brown says the latest developments expose that the coalition's actions in the country are all about regime change it's very clear that they have intervened. in order to decide who shall not be the government of libya and even if they from time to time refer back through the united nations security council resolution nineteen seventy three it doesn't change the fact that they clearly are going for the. overthrow of the of the tripoli government and then you have this announcement that they're sending military officers playing pros and that's clearly because some lawyer has advised them that you have to be very careful but the fact is that for example if you take the question of defensive body armor the fact is that war consists of component parts which is attack and difference. experts fear that conflict in africa may trigger i knew economic downturn which would be devastating for that of the united states of. america's financial management which is defi

claim his only chance of winning is to make his policies even more extreme than usual see paris personally france have announced they are sending congress as far as is to leap year in a move which prompted a fresh wave of criticism towards nato alliance is hiding behind humanitarian motives that it tends to sidestep the un mandate says journalist someone else. but i think the original demand from the rebels inside libya. in the cities in western libya was to be no fly zone to stop the most from is coming in and some humanitarian aid the red line for them was ground troops and now we're beginning to see the first steps towards a creeping. across the critical arrival of foreign or foreign forces that this is exactly what happened in vietnam and in various other conflicts and it always starts with it's about humanitarian intervention and then where is it leading to and this i think is a very very dangerous move and what we're seeing in libya unfortunately is the best way to put it is really the west hijacking this revolution and in this process they're making very very difficult for the revolution t

but the next day, even before the paris summit on finalizing the mission had ended, france launched its initial strikes-- again surprising the u.s. and other nato allies. the mission has been popular in france so far, even though sarkozy's own approval ratings are at an all-time low, just a year before he faces re- election. yet now that the u.s. has handed off the main military role in nato's libya mission, leaving france and britain in the forefront, the libyan rebels are complaining that they're no longer getting robust enough air support. what explains france's military assertiveness on multiple fronts? for that we turn to frederic bozo, a professor of history and international relations at the sorbonne in paris. he's currently a visiting scholar at the woodrow wilson center here in washington and jim hoagland, a contributing editor and columnist at the "washington post." he was the post's paris bureau chief from 1975 to 1979 and recently was awarded france's legion of honor. welcome to you both. jim hoagland, i'm going to start with you, even though you're the american here. why do

temporary residence permits to thousands of refugees, many of them with relatives or friends in france, but paris has respond by stopping trains and sending them back. now there is a threat to the whole future of the schengen treaty. >> this jacket says france and capital-letter spread that is where he and his friends want to go. but they are stuck at the train station. they made the dangerous trip from tunisia to italy by boat. >> we want freedom and work. there is nothing for us in tunisians. >> o or 200 refugees have been here, close to the french border, for weeks. they have been staying at the train station and a local refugee center, but the locals want them to leave. >> i hope the italian government takes them out. we italians have had enough. >> in the teenager, there are to utter thousand refugees from libya. project in tunisia, there are 200,000 refugees from libya. >> the french government has closed its border near the resort town, closing out some of the french speaking refugees. more tha400 police officers patrol each train arriving at the border. any tunisians caught crossing into

paris. britain italy and france have announced they're sending combat advisors to libya in a move which many say is the first step towards a ground operation then a list afshin rattansi however thinks there could also be another player involved. definitely china is part of this equation that worrying washington it's a rather more than european union leaders definitely one only has to look at khartoum to see chinese investment in africa and get out he was one person who for all its privatization and later suddenly coming back to the western fold he still didn't like african american defense network some people would say that china ironically has some. colliding ambitions as it were when it comes to libya because bahrain and saudi are currently in the throes of demonstrations not covered on western corporate media and ironically china needs a stable saudi arabia and bahrain for its own energy needs so u.s. interests and chinese interests are one in the same to a degree. and international monetary fund experts fear conflict in africa may trigger a new economic downturn which would be devastatin

. >> let's go to france now where police in paris have arrested a muslim woman wearing a full face veil after a law prohibiting wearing the garb and went into effect. the woman took' part in an unauthorized protest against the ban. france is the first european country to forbid the garment in public. the band has been condemned by islamic organizations to call an abridgdgent of religious freedom. the french government says it is designed to protect women's rights. at a meeting in luxembourg. interior ministers have clashed in how to deal the meeting over africa with german and france saying it will close their borders to migrants pouring into italy. roma received little support in coping with an influx of migrants that have not subsided since the revolution began in the arab world. italy said they were granted passes to thousands of migrants out pulp and travel. >> it is a gateway to europe. but for italy, the situation is a test of how united the european union really is. the internal ministry says the flood of migrants is so great that they could be allowed to travel to other states.

armed with temporary visas, many of the migrants have been heading to france. in paris, there is anger. now a senior official of the presidential palace has told journalists there should be times like these when e.u. member countries can suspend the agreement. in other words, a temporary reimposition of border controls. that would be a dramatic change for the e.u. for many french people, migration is a sensitive issue, especially in this presidential election year. but suggesting a shutdown, even a temporary one, is bound to be highly controversial. >> well, now to idia and the violent protests that are being taking place against government plans to build a nuclear plant. opposition to the project has grown since the crisis in japan. one protester was killed earlier this week in clashes with police at the proposed site. our correspondent traveled to the nearby fishing port to find out more. >> this family mourns the death of their only son. the 30-year-old fisherman was fatally shot during violent clashes between local protesters and police. he was part of a demonstrati
