richard, good evening. >> reporter: good evening, brian. there is certainly a feeling of relief and gratitude among the people of eastern libya, but also the rebels. but now there is also a dependency. these rebels from what we were able to see today are now completely dependent on outside military help. rebels today celebrated a victory that wasn't theirs, but which may have saved their lives. rebels say these government armored vehicles and artillery were heading into benghazi when they were attacked by western air strikes. if this much fire power had reached the poorly defended city, gadhafi would almost certainly have retaken benghazi. >> these things, okay, attacked benghazi people. they destroy completely. >> reporter: with renewed confidence, now the rebels are on the offensive again. on a highway outside tobruk, we saw rebels heading to the front line. they kissed their flag, and showed us weapons they have seized from gadhafi's smashed army units, including ammunition and rocket launchers. we've decided we will either die or live i

richard, good evening. >> reporter: good evening, brian. the rebels have the will, they have the numbers, but they don't have the equipment or the discipline to take on gadhafi's forces where they're dug in, as we saw for ourselves firsthand today. the road outside benghazi today is a graveyard of gadhafi's armored vehicles, destroyed by western air strikes. after an hour and a half driving south flanked by desert, we reached the rebels' front line. there are no trenches or sandbags, just men poorly armed, who want to fight. the front line is about five miles outside the town of ajdabiya. smoke can be seen rising from ajdabiya in the distance. gadhafi still has tanks and artillery in the town. the rebels watch with binoculars but can't advance. outgunned, the rebels say they are killed whenever they approach gadhafi's forces. we have light weapons, he has tanks, complained one man. another rebel showed me he isn't actually armed at all. >> it's a toy gun. >> reporter: this is amazing. he just handed me his gun. i didn't realize until he put

i am or welcome to the kaiser report thank you next going to be with you all right richard heinberg your latest book is called the end of growth tells about him the book unfortunately is not out yet but it makes the controversal claim that world economic growth has hit non-negotiable limits as of two thousand and eight and that we're in a new economic era it's not a a recession will end at some weight and we'll get back to normal growth rather we have seen the end of economic growth as well you know it if in fact this shouldn't be a big surprise the bestselling environmental book of all time back in june in one nine hundred seventy two was called limits to growth and it forecasts that sometime in the early twenty first century resource depletion in population growth will lead us into a cold us to the. world economic growth which would cease i believe we're at that point and it's largely because of oil prices which essentially are forming a cap on economic growth if the opponent if the economy starts to recover that pushes oil prices up and when oil prices go up they undercut economi

richard engel in benghazi in libya tonight. richard, thanks. >>> now to another front in syria, where we've seen days of protests there against the government. many thought this would be the day president assad of syria would come out and tell his nation that he had decided to offer some real reforms. there's a lot of that going around. perhaps significant changes to years of repressive rule. that was not the case today. nbc's ron allen has our report. >> reporter: god, syria, bashar, they chanted, as president al assad arrived at parliament. for days the syrian government had crushed protests with brute force. dozens are believed dead. today they expected him to bend but he took a very hard line and blamed the unrest on outside conspirators. the conspiracy is big and we are not looking for a fight, he said. but we will not hesitate to defend our causes, interests and principles. hopes for reform and an end to 48 years of repressive laws turned out to be wishful thinking. al assad got a well-orchestrated show of support. the on

president of the counsel of general michael hayden, and president of the counsel of foreign relations, richard haas. captions paid for by nbc-universal television >>> good morning. libyan leader moammar gadhafi took to the airwaves this morning vowing to stay in fight and calling the air strikes tantamount to terrorism. anti-aircraft painted the skies after operation odyssey dawn was launched to prop up rebel forces. earlier in the day, the french took the lead as their war planes patrolled the skies over libya and struck pro-gadhafi tanks. u.s. and british forces followed by launching a volley of more than 100 cruise miss ells and heavy bombing. the u.s. currently has at least 11 naval vessels in the mediterranean in addition to surveillance aircraft. all of this in preparation to impose a u.n.-sanctioned no-fly zone, the largest military intervention since the invasion of iraq in 2003, eight years to the day. i want to go right to nbc's chief foreign affairs correspondent richard engel in tobr tobruk, libya. tell me what you've been seeing and experiencing. >> reporter: the roads are remarka

i want to go right to nbc's chief foreign affairs correspondent richard engel in tobr tobruk, libya. tell me what you've been seeing and experiencing. >> reporter: the roads are remarkably calm. people are out on the streets. i spoke with rebels just a short while ago. they say that finally this action has taken place and they hope that they can get some more momentum again. i was here in this area about a week ago when the tide of events seemed to be turning against the rebels and you didn't see them out much. they were abandoning their checkpoints. now, once again, their checkpoints are out and they were painting anti-gadhafi graffiti once again openly on some of the buildings. so they feel that they have a renewed sense of optimism and they hope to regain the momentum in this fight. >> too little too late is a question you keep hearing, richard. i've heard your reporting on this. they had momentum a couple of weeks ago. >> reporter: they certainly did. and the rebels are asking, why didn't this come even a few days ago? before the major push into benghazi, which appears to have be

richard s. i think a cut you off, and you were giving us a real perspective on the impact criminal history has on a person's life, and a one to give you back your time. >> i appreciate the legislation and the work that you do any work you are doing, but i think we have kind -- we do not realize how big a problem this has become. united states today, we are this global power. we are fighting wars that do not end. you all know this. and the war has come home. the war is in the streets. we have arrested millions of people for drugs. thank god i'm in california. show me some pot, you know? california is wonderful, but it is not that way in the rest of the country. they are still giving people felony convictions for possession of marijuana. you guys are really progressive. the rest of this country is not. the rest of this country is fighting a war that you cannot even protest. we are so far, even though barack is in the white house, isn't that great? the country is more right wing than you ever reali

richard, good evening. >> reporter: good evening, lester. today we were actually able to go south and moving through the desert to go behind the rebels' front line and enter the city of ajdabiya and see fighting inside the city itself. through the desert behind the rebels' front line, we follow a secret convoy to bring water and fuel to the people of ajdabiya, a rebel city still partially held by gadhafi's forces. we reach ajdabiya's eastern gate. it's controlled by rebels, and marked by a tattered flag. ajdabiya is mostly deserted, an urban war zone. shops are closed or destroyed. there's no power or running water. just fighting between the revolutionaries and gadhafi's men, says this man. through a broken gate we enter his home. it was badly damaged by gadhafi's troops. this is shrapnel, he says, from the tank round that hit his house and went right in this room. and the fighting isn't over. outside we hear gunfire. gadhafi's troops are just a few blocks away. we see rebels running, advancing. firing behind a wall. there is street-to-stree

that's what they would say to you, richard haass. >> i know that argument. i can't role history back. of course, it's conceivable that that's the case, but i simply don't see it that way. this is a civil war. and in civil war when people take up arms against the government, they have to expect they're putting themselves at great risk. but this was not something, tavis, that was shaping up in my way say like rwanda. this wasn't a war in which one ethnic group was out to commit genocide against another. this was not iraq where you had all sorts of sectarian violence between and among sunni, shiah, and kurds. rather this was something that was narrower, it was political. in that sense again, it was a civil war, so i do not believe that it was the intention of the government of gaddafi, and this is not to defend that government, but i do not believe it was their intention to essentially try to eliminate a large segment of the libyan population. i do not think this was a humanitarian crisis on anything like, say, the scale of arewanda, dull fewer or the balkans.

richard, thank you. ass as the civil war rages in libya, turns of thousands are fleeing. it's an exodus that brings them to a refugee camp on the border with tunisia. this is what the area looked like in 2009, a barren stretch of desert. today it is teaming with tents and people with no place to go. nbc's anne thompson is there. >> reporter: this is the midway point between despair and hope. a transent camp for refugees from libya. speaking different languages. many of their stories are similar to halaw from bangladesh. he didn't get paid for three months in libya, and when he reached the border, the libyan military took everything he had. >> they took everything. >> reporter: the refugees, mostly men, wait in long, dusty lines, for food. up to an hour and a half to use a satellite phone. the shower is a hose and large buckets in a dirt hole. still, this man from ghana says he's in a better place than his colleagues left in libya. >> i don't know what happen to them next. every day there is different problem, every day. >> reporter: we're about three miles from the libyan

richard, thanks. and as richard made clear, all libyans are paying attention to what president obama is saying and doing about their situation. the president keeps talking about nato taking over this mission. that hasn't happened quite yet, and nbc news has learned because of a hitch, there's been a delay until at least the end of this week. meanwhile, secretary of state hillary clinton met in london today with u.s. allies and libyan opposition leaders to up the pressure on gadhafi. our chief foreign affairs correspondent andrea mitchell has been following all this with us tonight from our d.c. newsroom. andrea, good evening. >> reporter: good evening, brian. as richard reported, the rebels want weapons. as the president told you, he has not ruled that out. john mccain and others in congress are pressing again today to arm them. in london today, hillary clinton's focus was getting to know the opposition leaders. it's the second time she's met them in just the last two weeks, as the u.s. tries to figur

richard, good evening. >> reporter: good evening, brian. rebels have captured nearly all of eastern libya. tripoli itself is ringed by checkpoints, but in the center of the city, you hardly know it. we toured this former italian colonial capital all day. [ gunfire ] just a week ago gadhafi's forces brutally crushed an uprising here, killing protesters. today the city looks more ready for tourists than war. fresh mediterranean produce still comes in. there are plenty of buyers. even the pet market of colorful songbirds is open. in tripoli's main market there is a feeling this conflict is very far away. people are out, shops are open, and at least on the surface, this city appears to be thriving. in the markets overflowing with dates and olives, it was also clear tripoli remains a gadhafi stronghold. >> gadhafi is very good man. we want gadhafi. >> reporter: as we spoke to university student mohammed baffel, gadhafi posters appeared almost instantly around us. people here have been told by gadhafi, the united states wants to invade and make l

brian. >> all right, richard, stay safe. richard engel in libya tonight. >>> and now to syria. and this is important because in the midst of this wave of uprisings from the middle east to north africa and these arab nations, there is reason for some to believe tonight that syria just might be the next nation to go. thousands took to the streets to express their rage over the killings of protesters by security forces yesterday in the city of daraa. syria's leaders are clearly in no mood for the pro-democracy protests. they want them put down but the people don't seem to want to back down. nbc's ron allen has our report. >> reporter: only a few fleeting images document the brutality. pictures said to be taken by syrian protesters, confronted by government security forces. much of the aftermath too graphic to show. don't shoot, we are your brothers and sisters, a man yells. at least 37 people have been slaughtered the past few days in a town called daraa. thousands there demanding greater freedom and fairness. police also have had little patience for smaller protests in the capita

richards is touching on. in the realm of criminal policy, the more fear there is that the more laws we have that limit what people can do, people with criminal records can do. an example of that this session is there is a bill pending from assemblyman night from palmdale that basically what say that anybody who has ever had a drug conviction cannot volunteer in their child's school. there already are laws on the books that allows school districts to criminal background checks, but this would add this permanent exclusion for any -- and i'm not talking only net labs. i'm talking any possession. that is an example of the ever- expanding range of laws that limit people with criminal records. that is ab 2034. >>? there anyone here who can inject a little hope -- is there anyone here who can inject a little hope? we know that there are barriers. we know the laws are overreaching. we have employers that ignore the laws. so what is the solution, dr. richard s. -- dr. richards? how are we going to turn this around for
