is using the un security council the international criminal court to bring charges against other countries for terrorism and it is clearly exposed in international terrorism itself in yemen and of course in sabotage teams in syria and in bombing of libya not to mention the devastating wars in iraq and afghanistan in yemen it is to protect a complete thirty three year dictatorship of salo who is now for. health reasons in saudi arabia an effort to protect his regime potentially bring him back and it's been used against a people's movement anyone that the u.s. fears is a threat to them is now being labeled as al qaeda and it's open season in terms of attacks and and bombs and drone attacks on any number of different resistance organizations. check out our website or to dot com for more opinions on the matter including one voice by us radio host alex jones and the abuse of drone technology could be the beginning of a terminator style world room for our computers also online for you a veiled countering of the world's movers and shakers we've got the activists who make a stand against the impen

the nations of the un security council resolution and with the nato operation we would have seen a massacre of one proportions extent so i think that the operation in libya is right it is legitimate because it's based on the. u.n. security council resolution and it is just because it protects the people from libya now you asked me about the final how do we get out of the question that question is very much a political question and i think the international community has laid very clearly what are the requirements what are the. stepping stones towards reaching such an agreement and bulgaria takes a very strong interest in libya because we have a strong relationship with the people of libya and we have many bulgur and national school and if you would we are analysis shows very clearly that the political resolution to the future of libya must be based on a strong and very clear roadmap which brings people together from both east and west of the country unites the tribes of libya the different families of the different factions brings them together in a process which allows them to choose their

saying sincerely that russia will continue to disagree with submitting the syrian issue to the un security council now he says this is especially in light of the escalation of the libyan issue where he says the nato actions in libya are exceeding the framework designed by the security council so in light of that and many times it's been said by president medvedev and other russian officials that the problems in syria need to be left to syria and russia will not be partnering with any foreign governments to intervene they're going to thanks very much indeed lindsey fraud reporting there in brussels thanks for that very. middle east expert and blogger kohl shero joins me know he's joining us live from london thanks very much indeed for being with us here a latino as we know not of the e.u. nor the u.s. are talking about a military intervention to stop the bloodshed in syria just how effective are these sanctions. pardon i didn't hear the story i just going to ask you just how effective sanctions at the moment bearing in mind that no military intervention is being considered at the moment. i don't th

no easier than in syria there's a typical civil war going on there but nobody's going to the un security council to try and stop it so. they're reiterating in someways words he has said before that russia wants to see a peace brought around brought about in the arab world to discussion and diplomacy and not through international intervention something that they will not support. sergei lavrov has also announced that moscow is waiting for confirmation from libyan rebels that they have received weapons from france if proven true the russian foreign minister says it would be a serious violation of the u.n. arms embargo french officials earlier admitted their military has airlifted arms to the country it's the first time a member of nato has owned up to supplying weapons to the since the bombing began over three months ago alliance officials want paris to explain its unilateral action the u.n. mandate on libya allows military action to protect civilians but authorize the ground invasion and arm supplies paris based political analyst john laughlin says three countries have hijacked the mandate. the a

nuclear watchdog the international atomic energy agency is due to report the country to the un security council over suspected nuclear program comes at the council already considering what is french resolution condemning president assad's crackdown syrian protesters russia has opposed in the saying. it is worse than la quinta from the institute for democracy incorporation says the men will turn into turn up the heat on damascus. i think what we're seeing are the western powers ratcheting up the pressure they're trying to increase their room for maneuver so in the draft resolution you have crimes against humanity you have a threat to international peace and security and in parallel you have this cranking up now of pressure from the international atomic energy authority so i think this is a way of increasing the number of cards that the west believes that it holds as far as russia is concerned i think that it's pretty obvious that russia or the russian government greatly regret not having vetoed the libya which as we can all see was immediately exploited. to go way beyond the terms laid down in t

you know they'd like to bring a resolution condemning syria wouldn't they to a vote at the un security council that's russia strongly opposing all the way along the line despite russia's opposition is there any chance that said lucian. well if russia is going to veto clearly not but if russia wants to have any influence in syria which one would like to think that it wants. then it should leave that possibility open but it would at least abstain on allow a resolution to pass at the moment however russian opposition to a resolution of any resort criticizing syria seems to be so vehement that the syrians are being ineffective the syrian regime is in effect being given. free run to do what they like without criticism from the security council you have first hand experience this country in the past as we've said now the u.s. has previously. ran and has been helping syria crack down on the protesters do you think assad's regime could have sought outside help. i'm not sure that's really relevant. i have no information myself i'm retired now about any such help i would not have thought that the syrian

but somebody might have intended the from behind the scene an alternative approach so if the un security council resolution for some reason doesn't work then we can go along the other route thoughts there from azzam tamimi the director of the to because law make political force talking about the pressure being put on syria right now. how to talk to the opposition rebels and colonel gadhafi his cousin russia's envoy trying to broker a cease fire in libya says both sides want of no military way out now however fighting continues in a city of misrata where nato still dropping bombs on the capital while calling for a post the era. reports from tripoli. precious peace mediator. gallup has indeed visited leave to persuade warring sides to start talking his mass for that purpose opposition leaders in the libyan rebel stronghold and karzai and his cousin and closest ally in cairo as he has said to better understand both sides demands and position and following these meetings has come to the media to say that both sides and the rivals agree and understand that there is no any way to end this crisis throu

is the only way out of this crisis is this track to conflict russia has never supported the un security council resolution which authorized intervention and russia has repeatedly criticized full launching military operation here in libya people actually feel extremely exhausted after months of devastating war which has already taken many many lives and has actually completely destroyed the country's infrastructure they're getting more and more angry and they just want to get their life back. now a quick look at what's still ahead for you on the program for the tracks a young woman to try. and world this continent. america's top military commander says this new leader will be found and killed just like osama bin laden the new top man and. second in command since the terror group was founded in the late eighty's but terrorism expert who research says that matter who's in charge of al qaeda washington will still use the perceived terror threat as an excuse for military action. it was the main fear a titian osama bin ladin fought in broad strokes it was a quarry was robbing the nitty gritty and som
