say and they've set up a date for the first meeting of that contact group which will take place in qatar under the auspices of the government there they also talked a lot about the un resolution they literally they must have said the un the un resolution one hundred seventy three about twenty times during this media briefing they said that they were interested in the full and swift implementation of the un resolution preserving the integrity of libya and they talked also about pursuing measures against members of the regime which is a clear pointer to the fact that the international community has agreed that it's necessary to targets gadhafi directly they reiterated that nato would take charge of that happening on wednesday nato will then lead the effort in libya and they said that they would continue this effort until it's done essentially until gadhafi is gone and until they can they can create some sort of stability in libya they reiterated the fact that libyans must choose their own government but also said that gadhafi has lost any legitimacy that he ever has and also importantly qa

because we thought qatar would come in and do things. >> rose: >> qatar decided to participate to one track, the military action. >> rose: have they don't that? >> i imagine that it's a question of hours. others, others... >> rose: morocco. >> morocco and i heard also jordan and emirates and others prefer to privilege the humanitarian track because it's important in the context of solidarity among arab people. >> rose: but having said that, is it important... the question: is it important for morocco and jordan and other arab countries and the arab league itself to say not only did we ask nato and fransz and britain and the united states and the united nations to do this, we want them to do this, we support this and we want to make sure that it is not perceived as something other than what it is. >> it's a question of pedagogy, it's a question of how some parties will interpret these actions. that's why the role of a country like morocco is important. because we can play a key role as a bridge to facilitate what is the most important not only the cease-fire but we have to think today

here qatar years square and we've lost sight of this because so much attention has been focused on the political but what preceded the square revolutions you want to call it was the fact that there's been tremendous unrest in the industrial cities of egypt outside of cairo which had been broken out brutally strikes were broken up brutally and the youth movements that may touch here the most important one and it will six will be was precisely in alliance with that working class movement against social injustice of the lack of a decent minimum wage. the fact that social services under the new liberal economy will have been undercut ferment. slee in the last five years so the russian public has a very very good understanding of what's going on here that if i go back to you and paris here where do we move forward because i mentioned something i think is very very important here because the media is limited resources are limited people are obviously focusing in on libya but all through the region things continue to boil think things continue to change and where do you think it's going i mea

foreign minister william hague and the prime minister of qatar essentially the most important thing that they decided was to set up what they're calling a contact group which will provide leadership for what they're calling the international effort to support libya the first meeting of that group will take place in cats are. reiterated again and again that they are sticking to this un resolution one thousand nine hundred seventy three but of course all this has been decided without any input without any participation of the libyans although members of the rebel opposition were present in london on tuesday and they met with william hague and hillary clinton together with the foreign ministers of germany and france to inform the process they were not then invited to the main meeting at which the sorra ministers of around forty countries met essentially to decide their fate neither were any members of these governments invited to participate in this program despite the fact that of course they are still the government in power in libya and gadhafi himself sent a letter ahead of the meeting

key arab partners like qatar and the united arab emirates have committed aircraft. and as agreed this week, responsibility for this operation is being transferred from the united states to our nato allies and partners. this is how the international community should work -- more nations, not just the united states, bearing the responsibility and cost of upholding peace and security. this military effort is part of our larger strategy to support the libyan people and hold the gaddafi regime accountable. together with the international community, we're delivering urgent humanitarian assistance. we're offering support to the libyan opposition. we've frozen tens of billions of dollars of gaddafi's assets that can help meet the needs and aspirations of the libyan people. and every day, the pressure on gaddafi and his regime is increasing. our message is clear and unwavering. gaddafi's attacks against civilians must stop. his forces must pull back. humanitarian assistance must be allowed to reach those in need. those responsible for violence must be held accountable. muamm

meanwhile, spain and the arab state of qatar joined the coalition. and france called for a new steering committee working outside nato to oversee the military operation. that would get around the divisions that have opened up within the alliance. >> brown: and we're joined now by ambassador ali suleiman aujali. he was once qaddafi's envoy to washington, but denounced the libyan leader after violence first broke out. he now maintains close communication with the opposition based in benghazi. welcome to you. >> thank you very much. >> brown: i want to ask you first about late-breaking news. secretary of state hillary clinton apparently in an interview with abc said that qaddafi, she's hearing that qaddafi may be exploring some exile options. although this is unconfirmed. do you know anything about this? >> well, i hope so. but people that know qaddafi very well, that may be the last option. i never expect qaddafi will leave the country alive. >> brown: you don't expect that. >> i don't expect that. i think qaddafi has no place to go. i don't think that

we don't know that qatar and the uae felt that way, and that is why they're giving command a 42 nato. rigid command control to nato. >> do you think anybody will be concerned that the uae will be sending some forces to enforce the no-fly zone? doing this to protect civilians in libya, yet also taking action and bahrain against anti- government protesters there? >> there is some sensitivity about what is happening in the broader middle east. what are we intervening in libya, but to some extent turning a blind eye to bahrain or syria or other places? the other issue that this nato command structure raises is, what is the actual operation and how will it be divided between the no-fly zone, which nato has said it will take up, and the coalition operation, which is actually more aggressive,: after the libyan army, going after fixed assets? is this part of the operation does not succeed in getting gaddafi to stand out, what then? will there be a consensus to continue to go after assets in a way that does not constitute civilian protection? then we could see some rifts opened within the nato
