Confrontation. all kinds of horrible stories. >> all right. we hope you are able to stay safe. thank you very much for joining us. we are not naming our eyewitness for security reasons. a call from misrata. a troubling call. libyas third largest city is being heavily shelled as we speak. this, of course, fredricka, as french fighter planes are over benghazi. >> this is the nearest city, large city outside of tripoli. we will be joined by our national correspondent there, nic robertson. how are t...

Nicolas sarkozy was there as well. you may have seen that live. telling us, yes, french fighter planes are now in the skies over libya. he said they will take action to protect the people on the ground, the citizens there. he said, in fact, they will use force if they have to, to take out tanks or others that are attacking -- the gadhafi forces that are attacking on the ground. this comes after the u.n. security council passed a resolution on thursday night calling for that no-fly zone and essen...

Type of weapons very much in the past. but certainly the sounds that were coming up, sporadic gunfire. theres nothing apparently in the sky for them to shoot at. but those sounds certainly coming up. weve seen more security out on the streets as we came through the city. government buildings being protected by armed civilians, traffic intersections being protected or controlled by armed police and very little traffic out on the streets as we came back towards our hotel here. perhaps an hour or s...

>> the no fly is an intermediate step. when the community is demanding action. a full military action is untenable. youre right, this does in a certain sense imply that were getting involved in another military action in libya. the previous no-fly zones that have been imposed in the form of yugoslavia and over iraq following the first gulf war, those were limited but real combat operations. we shot down six serbian fighter planes in 1994. >> thats an act of war. >> i mean -- >> is there any othe...

Imply that were getting involved in another military action in libya. the previous no-fly zones that have been imposed in the form of yugoslavia and over iraq following the first gulf war, those were limited but real combat operations. we shot down six serbian fighter planes in 1994. >> thats an act of war. >> i mean -- >> is there any other way of framing it if you go to another country and start shooting down their airplanes? isnt that an act of war against the government of that country? >> t...

Matter what anyone says implied here to go to war with gadhafi. you start shooting and you crater his air fields and you get a sense of bringing him down. is there a no-fly by itself and let him win for example? >> the no fly is an intermediate step. a full military action is unatenable. this does in a certain sense imply that were getting involved in another military action in libya. the previous no-fly zones that have been imposed in the form of yugoslavia and over iraq following the first gul...

An interest in democracy succeeding in that part of the world. its not a vital national interest. i wouldnt say this is something we have to put all our resources toward and commit thousands of ground forces but if with our incredible air power as the former air force chief of staff said, if we cant do this, what are we paying for all these expensive fighter planes. were looking just to make a difference, to take away gadhafis use of aircraft and helicopters with a limited operation, limited ris...

High-tech gear able to survey the air space in libya, what they are watching for, of course, is the movement of libyan jets, libyan fighter planes. still, however, no international consensus either through the united nations or nato to take the next step, which would be outright military action against libya. all the talk about a no-fly zone continues both at nato and at the united nations. still no vote, no international consensus to do that right now. it still appears all the efforts here are ...

Past and now shes trying her hand at fiction. >> cesar milan knows your animal, your dog, your pet is trying to talk to you. he will tell you what he or she is trying to say. >> did you hear that barking? it sounds like lassie was trying to say timmy is down the well again. >> have we stopped with wells? >> this is a good time to go to headlines, i think. new video this morning of libyan leader muammar el-qaddafi making a brief appearance yet again on libya state tv waving to supporters in tripo...

Town before. the bedding serves as a place to store their bread as they move on to the next town. >> the rebels have pushed within hundred miles of the town of surt. its seen as the biggest town here in the eastern part of the country for them before they to march on tripoli. good news, it appears that one of the libyan fighter jets that dropped a couple bombs that we heard today was earshot down or crashed here in the desert in the east. something that is making these rebels happy but it defini...
