u.n. security council will be will be very difficult considering all the criticism that would need to operations in the face now for example russia for a permanent member of the security at the u.n. security council has heavily criticized nato bill calling far beyond the u.n. resolution many are deeply alarmed by the growing number of civilian casualties and by the way on the hague prosecutor's decision to go off to war criminals and leave you russia actually supports it but as russia same voice as we've learned said what about needle strikes that kill civilians who's going to be punished for that many analysts believe that any ground involvement will lead to escalation of the conflict or to more violence on the ground but with these recent. elements coalition forces could be looking for ways to go around the u.n. resolution that does not allow the environment of foreign troops on the ground and some say maybe those international criminal court warrants will provide that loophole for more on the coalition forces on how the coalition forces are trying to break the stalemate there is my colleague

you know if it doesn't make sense not a good idea for you to be in the security council the u.n. security council is meant to contain only those foreign powers in the world that matter and so when you say your members go. well that's actually that's quite correct in terms of foreign policy power is still very much a member state level but there is france there is the u.k. and we've seen the libyan crisis that's you hasn't been very relevant at all ok i mean how does this proposal if it was to happen going to be welcomed by france and britain because they may risk losing their particular individual seats on security council therefore i guess along with it their political clout now going to go down really well but on the same for them is it. no probably than the not going to be very pleased but you have to take into account this is just sort of a resolution by the european parliament without any direct effect it just shows how basically out of touch many people in the european core and or with the real world well if it does happen if if the big if the trying to involve itself in int

u.n. security council that there is strong evidence that peaceful protesters was shot during government demonstrations in february well for more details let's now cross live to our she's going to church courage and joining us live in our washington studio. how was the prosecutor's report received by the u.n. . well carol the u.s. welcomed the international criminal court prosecutors plans to request three arrest warrants for alleged criminal crimes alleged crimes against humanity committed in libya since february fifteenth they hate prosecutor did not specify who these three people are pretty stone that the international criminal court has been investigating colonel gadhafi some of his sons and aides over what the prosecutor called a predetermined plan to attack protesters he said now is the time to start planning on how to implement those possible rest warrants and that's the interesting part carrying out those arrests will require foreign forces on the ground to actually do that the issue of him forcing any future accord or it is expected to be discussed

u.n. security council with some seeing it as a threat to their sovereignty. for the big bear that says al qaeda sends a steady stream of agents to russia and says they're often found among militants killed in anti terror operations. the european cause decision to find a georgia. trial exposes a role with the country's if not trump legal system but many south of the world make much difference on the current leadership. very warm welcome to you this is a line from moscow the crackdown on anti-government protests in syria is intensifying with army tanks reportedly shelling residential districts in the third largest city of homs where human rights groups believe more than that seven hundred fifty people have been killed since the rest began almost two months ago and with the crackdown international pressure of the country to stop the violence is a little so growing following the recently introduced e.u. sanctions the u.s. is reportedly considering calling for regime change in stasis more emmet reports parallels with the libyan scenario which started with similar

u.n. security council. reports the move has been met with condemnation from some members of the union the and it's a step too far. there's been a horrified response around the world and here in brussels so the idea of giving the european union a permanent seat on the un security council it would allow the e.u. to look at the world security decisions both britain and france here this is the first step was stripped of their permanent place on the council one british. britain sovereignty and they will fight the move many other countries for example are india's billion plus people less worthy of a voice than the e.u.'s five hundred million giving the e.u. seats as well as france and britain also to the wounds from many parts of the world notably africa and latin america who were on the security council's composition is already poised to. this move was proposed by a member of the european parliament from spain one of the biggest. states. claims the current financial difficulties corporation in foreign policy the

u.n. security council is expected to receive much more a position. they want some more authority for itself at international level but opposition voices think the powers of the unions would imply this already too great expense is too large. your skepticism. here to look at the expense of the european parliament itself and there is one very . very simple example why the european parliament should have two seats one in brussels and the other will instruct work in. costs additional almost three hundred million of your olds per year if you have to move once in a six week from brussels to strasburg so let's have only one seat and we can give and we can show a perfect example to the people of europe that we are able to save the taxpayers money. recent controversial court decisions in georgia have brought the country's legal system under the spotlight with the acquittal rate of less than one percent many accuse the government of tightening its grip over judges as it has been approach over reports social status in georgia is sometimes enough to avoid punishm

u.n. security council. resolution reports the move has been met with condemnation from some it was believed that the only step to follow. there's been a horrified response around the world and here in brussels the idea of giving the european union a permanent seat on the un security council would allow the e.u. . the world security decisions both britain and france here this is the first step we were stripped of their permanent place on the council one british m.p. here says this britain sovereignty and they will fight the move many of the countries are more for example or. less worthy of a voice and five hundred million. seats as well as france and britain and also influence from many parts of the world notably africa and latin america in the security council composition is already boy. this move was proposed by a member of the european parliament from spain one of the biggest euro states without a permanent seat. in the foreign policy and i guess there's no you know in the european union in politics all.

u.n. security council meeting safety zones in the country or incorporating with the u.n. security council in distribution of humanitarian aid throughout the country to those who need it all c t b. the vote now presented by the african union as well as letting international observers in libya to monitor how those resolutions are being fulfilled of course libyan leaders in response to that have stopped and they are willing to do so but under their conditions i believe they can now listen to what for mr barak had to say on that. number was frozen motion from tripoli is willing to consider approaches based on the african union road map for peace. over there ready to fully meet the requirements of the un resolution only. used but said it was necessary for the opposition to make similar moves you know for nato to stop bombing relationship. over from foreign minister sergei lavrov has once again stressed that nato is actions in libya go beyond resolutions of the un security council and the only solution to the crisis is a non military one another condition that so we did authorit

u.n. security council's resolutions to create safety zones in the country to cordray to get the u.n. security council one distribution of humanitarian aid throughout the country to follow the road map presented by the african union and to let international observers inside the country that would be monitoring how those resolutions are fulfilled however in their turn living in the thirty's has conditions under which they willing to do so. people got to use tripoli is willing to consider approaches based on the african union road map for peace they are ready to fully meet the requirements of the un resolution only but said it was necessary for the opposition to make similar moves and for nato to stop bombing turning israel love ruth once again stressed that nato is actions in libya to be younger as aleutians of the u.n. security council and that there is no military solution to this all day and even though russia is not a mediator in this particular conflict it does agree with the roadmap presented by the african union opposition members are also to come to moscow to hold talks with for

u.n. security council resolution has been are being absolutely they've gone far far beyond the terms of the u.n. security council resolution one see them juggling with words trying to make what doing. feets with the terms of the resolution but of course it's transparently not possible to do that and of course as in the case of intervention in the civil war that is illegal under international law and the un resolution to that effect wouldn't make it legal but in fact that that resolution doesn't cater for intervention in a civil war we've now seen the rebels saying that they're disappointed in the amount of help that nato has offered what do you make of that well i said i imagine that they probably don't have experience of dealing with nato or dealing with foreign governments and their their intentions and intervention and so on i'm sure that they were hoping that military intervention would mean that they would very rapidly meet their military goals which of course has to come to power in their country and establish democracy in whatever their goals are i'm sure they must've felt that it wa

u.n. security council as part of an overall plan of common defense security and foreign policy the move has cost discord among some member states the u.k. has already said that it will not give up its permanent seat on the council for the sake of a single european seat carelessly charles taylor explains britain will fight to defend its where its people goes no way that the british government or the british conservative delegation i speak for the conservatives in the european parliament we would support any move which weakened our ability to protect our foreign policy interests and clearly being founding members of the un security council with a veto as a permanent member this is a major plank in being able to project our foreign policy interests and indeed we were so successful recently in collaboration with our french colleagues in securing un security council resolution nineteen seventy three over libya so no we would not give up our seat in favor of an e.u. seat because at the end of the day the common the foreign security policy of the european union is only when we all agree and someti

u.n. security council in the long haul say of well security issues the move could damage the strength of some member states independence. georgians have to turn to the international human rights court to get justice for a murder mystery by high ranking officials exposing an inherent flaw in the country's much trumpeted legal system. but next talks to a member of the european parliament says a growing role crissy is leading to an inability to solve pressing problems on the continent. he heads the e.c. all brought fighting to take control back from brussels just as often do you believe the e.u. secretly taking new powers without telling people. yes exactly they say idea to build up they call on consolidated corporate tax base and all these things of course for the first loop it might look innocent but if you go deep down what is behind that it might be a one instrument in the future might lead to further harm addition of tax base which is something we very hard approach i can see certain risky points in that one particular risk point is. hidden measures that might lead to further harmonize atio

u.n. security council critics though say the union has enough problems to solve without getting more involved in international issues. a crackdown on anti-government protests in syria intensifies and so does international pressure comes to stop the bloodshed but many see sanctions unpredicted calls for regime changes echoes of the intervention of the living conflict. and president. continuing to send a steady stream of agents to russia's north caucuses as they're all from the condom on militants killed in ninety ten of the operations the russian leader also stressed that terrorism is a shared problem. is beneficial to russian security. next he talks to a member of the european parliament who says a growing. is leading to an inability to solve pressing problems on the continent itself. yeah m.e.p. heads the. block fighting to take control back from brussels just as often do you believe the e.u. secretly taking new powers without telling people. exactly idea to build our. corporate tax base and all these things of course for the first. but if you go behind that it might be a one instrument in t

u.n. security council critics say the union has enough problems to song without getting more involved in incidents like this some. progress on a lousy government process in syria intensifies and say this is not something to stop bloodshed but many see sanctions on a project that calls for a theme that changes echoes of the insurrection in the libyan. president instead of says al qaida is continuing to send a steady stream of agents to brussels no clear consensus as i also found among members since killed announce a terror operation the russian leader also instructed the risk of a problem in the knowledge that is beneficial to me since i'm getting sick. next to a member of the european parliament who says a growing e.u. bureaucracy is needing to an inability just so pressing for blooms on the concert. yes n.e.p. heads the. fighting to take control back from brussels it was designed to do you believe the e.u. secretly taking new powers without telling people. exactly idea to. consolidate its corporate tax base and all these things of course for the first look. if you go deep behind that it might be

u.n. security council should adopt a new resolution on libya was aleutian one hundred seventy three there's not invisible line operations we need a new resolution was done forces planned that all along says a leading us law professor clearly what we're seeing unfold here in libya is a pre existing war ploy by nato by the british by the french by the americans with their movie everything now is going up or in the play and which is why i believe since they have failed to our polls darkie what steps are solved far the next stage will be moving into a ground invasion and the powers have to push the international community into supporting the war and that's one author protecting civilians was the claim that grabbing the country's resources is the real goal this is one of the most the. reason transgressions of the rights of nation national sovereignty and international law that we've seen in the post-war period the west the u.s. france and britain have been called work early according to the evidence that's leaking out covertly arming the opposition to gadhafi in hopes of grabbing control of the

u.n. security council while giving the blog more control of world security issues or some mental states for evil also threaten their independence. also georgians have to turn to the international human rights court to get justice for american method by high ranking officials exposing the parents flaw in countries much to do the legal system. as well next start he talks to a member of the european parliament and says a growing e-mail for christie is leading to an inability to solve pressing problems on the continent. yeah. he heads the euro skeptic e.c. all brought fighting to take control back from brussels just as often do you believe the e.u. secretly taking new powers without telling people. yes exactly idea to build up call on the consulate of corporate tax base and all these things of course for the first loop it might look innocent but if you go down what is behind that it might be a one instrument in the future might lead to a further harm addition of tax base which is something we very hard about those i can see sort of risk you coming to that you want particular risk it probably is

u.n. security council critics on the vienna shit say that the e.u. has enough problems at home to solve without that so let's get the details now from donald partial muscles for us. all the european parliament voted in favor of this me so what's the reaction been. with reactions behind go there was passed with a three hundred ninety nine vote majority of good britain and france. sorry daniel do you carry on we have a few technical issues that are better to carry on. yes saying the britain and france have permanent seats on the un security council but they still think voice of power on the security council and the navy is there's no unity between the european states so there's a question mark how they're going to come to a common decision greece as we're seeing is facing protests over its inability to deal with its financial crisis of course the european union there was no unity over the invasion of libya and of course there's no agreement on how to deal with the portuguese economy which is on the verge of bankruptcy so there's a question mark first o

u.n. security council sanction for. strong measures against syria so i think they learned from their deadly mistake on the on the libya case when the strain that this thing has you know when we if it's allowed to pass. well maybe a nato airstrike has hit it off his compound in tripoli but also the killing of his sons is the first time the advances made an apparent attempt to the libyan leader's life earlier this week russia's prime minister the coalition to stop breaching the u.n. resolution. does begin to injure the coalition so destroying good daffy was not they goal then why bomb his palaces now some officials have claimed that eliminating him was in fact their goal who gave them that right did he have a fair trial returning to the no fly zone the bombings are destroying the country's entire infrastructure when the so-called civilized world uses all its military power against a small country destroying what's being created by generations i don't know if that's good. website or asking for your opinion why hasn't event

u.n. security council critics of the initiative both say that the e.u. really speaks with one voice and has got enough problems at home to solve without this bushel reports from brussels. there's been a furious reaction across the world and in brussels itself what brights as the european union have to lecture the world on war issues when it can't come to any agreements back at home and it can't sort out its own problems in the e.u. say experts there was no unity over the invasion of libya among e.u. member states we're currently seeing royals in greece over the government's handling of the country there are several states that want to help rescue fellow members they portugal's filled economy there's also the question do you you taxpayers want to bailouts and pay for this extra cost at the time of financial crisis the move would leave the. member states with three out of the six permanent positions on the council now several large parts of the world from asia to africa and latin america have no voice whatsoever and they already accuse the west of being ov

u.n. security council we will discuss trying to understand what was planned because that integrations from the money that we are seeing now are enough to learn lessons with international opposition on the rois states face an uphill task to make the case for more war britain's prime minister will dealt sending ground troops to libya his defense secretary a bit it's a part of what they plan exactly that but you have members good at the number of civilian deaths from nato bombing a drone likely to welcome this collation of the conflict that it was your london. twenty minutes you can catch an interview with a british member of parliament one of the few voted against taking action and he sees the air offensive quickly heading to the ground as a preview. if you like of the resolution because it does talk about. protecting civilians and using measures to implement policy. to try. and control some control. and i think we have got to be very careful. you've got to make sure you've got moral high ground you've got to make sure that the measure. has been exhausted and i'm not sure. as well so i think

u.n. security council we will discuss trying to understand what is planned because that aggression is from the money that we are seeing are enough to learn lessons with international opposition on the rois state space an open field told to make the case for more war but britain's prime minister will dealt sending ground troops to libya his defense secretary admitted to parliament they planned exactly that but you have members good at the number of civilian deaths from nato public drawing likely to welcome its collation of the conflict that it was your god see blood the meantime british politician john baron who was among those who voted against intervention in libya he says that nato could have done more to resolve the conflict before starting its operations you can watch our things interview next hour but here's a preview. this is where the if you like the vagueness of the resolution picks in because it does talk about and forcing a no fly zone and protecting civilians and using all necessary measures to implement that policy could theoretically you that we in the story makers improve to

u.n. security council is expected to receive much more a position. with the e.u. wants a moral authority for itself on a level position of power is. already great and expensive large. and with an adult in about twenty minutes. we have to look at the expense of parliament itself and there is a very. very simple example why the european parliament should have two seats one in brought so. and the other will instruct work it costs additional almost three hundred million euros per year if you have to move once in a six week from brussels to strasburg so let's have only one c. and we give and we can show my perfect example to the people of europe that we are able to save the taxpayers money. recent controversial court i think is in georgia have the country's legal system under the spotlight with the acquittal rate of less than one percent many iggy's the governments of tightening its grip over tartars but is it true over reports social status and daughter sometimes and nothing to avoid punishment. a high profile murder and a low profile investigation the case of sandra

u.n. security council resolution, 1929. to maximize the pressure on the iranian regime to engage seriously in diplomacy on the nuclear issue, something we have not seen to date. earlier today we announced a series of significant new measures with regard to sanctions against iran including seven new entities, companies designated under sisada as well as 16 new entities or individuals designated under the so-called in cna s. i think those are significant steps forward and we're continuing to look at other steps that we can take to demonstrate our seriousness and beyond our seriousness, the seriousness of the international community on these issues. it's instructive that the european union yesterday also announced about 100 new companies or firms that they're sanctioning in continuation of the international effort against iran. we have a strong platform in which to build over the course of last year. i think an unprecedented set of sanctions based on u.n. sanctions after. what you had, what we did nationally and what other par

the united nations security council has yet to condemn assad's regime and it seems way beyond parity, syria stood down from its attempt to get on to the u.n.'s homeland security council. -- human rights council. >> at least 643 civilians killed. more than 9,000 detained. whole cities shelled by their own government. so why has the outside world done so little to try to end the bloodshed in syria? it's a very tough, brutal regime willing to use force against its other people. another reason why it deserves to be condemned in the strongest terms by countries all around the world. >> a serious revolution facing all-out military assault. there's been condemnation from the west, but little action. europe has just imposed sanctions on some syrian officials, but not on president assad. it's no different in egypt. yet the west still told its great ally hosni mubarak to go. very different too in libya, but the united nations mandated air strikes to protect the uprising against muammar gaddafi. what makes syria different to egypt or libya, according to some western diplomats, is that there's not the same demand for the regime to go. not the same de
