we could endure. gadhafi is wanted ted or alive. they are offering amnesty to anyone in the inner circle that can provide information to lead to his capture. nato providing intelligence to find gadhafi. there s fighting going on in the city. most of the intense fighting is around cert in the center of the country. we were talking ability the 30 journalists trapped and held by gadhafi loyalists, they have been released, all unharmed. willie. good to see you without the jacket and helmet on for the time being. we have a few questions for hit richard, but he cant hear us. talk about the assets. one of the things we are watching closely, what happens
alter the global economy. now you have rebels running this this is going to chain the economy going forward for years however takes control. we don t know who is going to take control. it could still go south the pessimism would be right. could be right. sean: here you have gadhafi loyallists, tnc with the they are from benghazi. other cities. sean: all right benghazi-based. those rebels, gadhafi loyalists, tribes millennium harboring. assassinations long there was an article win calling me muslim brotherhood obsessed when people were saying this is great, mubarak is gone. i predicted the brotherhood would take over and i think i will be proven right. i think you are right there is going to be a problem. who becomes the new rebels?
cnn s jim spellman is seeing its power firsthand. he s now in the bahamas. we ll try to get jim spellman. we don t have him quite yet because the wind is blowing really, really hard in the bahamas at this moment. let s head into atlanta and check in with jack can jeras. can you tell us the track of the storm? we can, carol. we ve seen more changes and it bridges it closer to hugging the coast of the united states, potentially from north carolina all the way on up northward. i do want to tell people, this is just in. normally we get this 20 minutes before the top of the hour and it literally just came in. bear with me. the hurricane watches you ve been talking about, this is the north carolina coast, from north of surfacy to the north carolina/virginia border. tropical storm watches in addition for that north of modesto beach to surfacy. basically what that means is hurricane conditions are expected in about 48 hours, but tropical storm watch means tropical storm conditions
to see how they re doing. a lot of damage. interestingly, jim, one thing to we do e-mailed me this which came from the national emergency management agency hout there where you are. they basically tell us it is the islands where the problems are. a lot of power lines down, a bridge out here and there, a report from cat island that all power lines were down and no telecommunications. so it sounds like the large islands have done pretty well. the smaller islands, either we don t know or they have had some problems. that s right. it s probably going to be another at least into tomorrow where they re able to get a sense. people can only get to those islands it s hard to communicate there. you know the first thing to happen is power is out. they don t even know that they re really facing yet. trying to send out the trucks. really, until tomorrow they can get out there, maybe get some planes out there. it s going to be tough for them to know the real impact on the bahamas.
