Page 4 - Lets Talk Libya News Today

Washington. take a listen. >> there are persistent rumors that gadhafi really has very few friends, and its likely that at some point they will crack and he will either leave, be killed, whatever. is that something that you think is a pretty good possibility, that may happen? >> as i look at the situation in libya, senator, you can see a wide range of possibilities out ahead of us that run from a static stalemate to what you just described, gadhafi cracking. i think that if we work all the eleme...

Country. lets talk about the presidents speech. did you hear this, he will not commit troops to overthrow gadhafi. >> to be blunt, we went down that road in iraq. thanks to the extraordinary sacrifices to our troops and determination of our diplomats we are hopeful about iraqs future. but regime change there took eight years, thousands of american and iraqi lives, and nearly $1 trillion. that is not something we can afford to repeat in libya. >> jessica yellin, international political correspond...

A scheduled takeoff. the plane recently arrived from philadelphia. finally you wont stop tweeting me about the most famous snake in america. well, here you go. heres your cobra fix for the afternoon. cobra, still missing. new yorkers, still terrified. ven yom, still deadly. the hunt, still on, and snakes still my biggest fear. and now jessica yellin in washington. i have a feeling jessica doesnt love snakes either. jess characters are you following this faux cobra handle thing? >> i heard abou...

Future. are they sort of actually being able to do that at the moment while theyre fighting with the opposition or whichever elements are the opposition, probably not. but this is an aspiration and obviously something that will be of key international concern, dealing with the rebels. but more broadly dealing with the situation in libya, that it doesnt escalate into a broad civil war and chaos where groups like al qaeda can flourish and all that sort of chaos and mayhem, brooke. >> sure. potenti...

They flatly denied it, brooke. >> obviously if thats the case it would be a major case internationally. my thanks to you as always. piers morgan will be asking questions about diplomacy surrounding libya. watch it right here on cnn. now i want to get you to a very disturbing story that could eventually affect what you and i do online. parents, they find their daughter strangled inside her own apartment. the emt who responded to the scene later posted a picture of their daughters body on the in...

Even accusations, even if theyre not proven, theyre enough to dishonor someone. so i think this engagement ceremony that took place in the hometown of tobruk yesterday was an attempt to reject this attempt by the regime to dishonor this woman. the family is saying, the honor is still intact, and that engagement ceremony was an indication of that. >> i see. reza sayah, thank you for the hustle in gettingen on the phone for us. were all waiting to find out where this young woman is in libya. now...

Here in libya. its small. this is something that the government here has tried to make big claims about in the past, blaming the opposition rebellion on al qaeda, which is clearly overstating the fact. the extremist element we know because many of them went to fight in iraq against coalition forces there. they came, many of them, from the town of dirna in the east. do they represent the majority of the opposition? no. do they represent a tiny group of people that would want to exploit problems i...

The deal as far as he is concerned, so nato takes over command and control of the operations in libya. tomorrow they say they effectively are looking at the embargo on arms, still making sure that that is still in full fledge. they are looking at the no-fly zone and making sure that civilians, they say civilians arent attacked on the ground, but as i say, more answers to many questions that are still outstanding after events close down here today. >> becky, thank you. becky anderson in london. ...

National council. theyve said that they will pick up the reins on this contact group. so what theyre getting, those leading this, the uk, france, and the u.s. is a wider and deeper commitment from everybody that are not just on the military side but the political and diplomatic side, that things are going to be very different going forward. >> becky, i want to get to something hillary clinton said today. she spoke specifically about why she wanted to come to london. lets listen. >> we came to lo...

Expressed concern over the rest because the yemeni government has been a key ally in the fight against al qaeda. the president spoke to his supporters, said hes willing to step down but only to what he id sa, quote, safe hands. theres been word of key talks between saleh and a top army general o dekted to the opposition. sources say they have considered a deal where both men would resign and leave th country. the two mass rallies come a week after dozens were killed at a protest. saleh whos been...
