political panel. arthel: unions under fire, from wisconsin to ohio, to new jersey. organized labor is feeling the heat from state houses and pushing back hard, but do they still have the muscle to withstand the onslaught? we ll have a live report. rick: let s start with a fox news alert and major developments in libya this saturday afternoon. on the humanitarian side, the u.s. just announcing that it will give $3 million to a u.n. agency to help refugees who are trying to flee the fighting. part of that money will go to air lift foreign workers back to their home lands. on the battlefield, some of the fiercest fighting yet in this uprising. rebels in the city of zawia engaged in heavy combat with forces loyal to moammar gadhafi. at stake is control of the very strategic city. jonathan hunt is streaming live for us. the battle is raging on two fronts now, both east and west in libya. the fiercest fighting today was in that city of zawia. that s 30 miles west of tripoli.
that s not going to happen. heather: jamie, finally as we wrap up, what do you see is a best case scenario? best case scenario, our intelligence agencies are going to focus on examining the military to find out what their goals are, who the people are that we can rely on. we re going to look at the foreign influence that might be starting to show its head in the city. the best case scenario would be for the protesters to just back off, accept the fact that you got rid of mubarak, that was your stated goal, and go back to work. best case, they go back to work, business goes back to normal, egypt stabilizes, suez canal, nothing changed in that area and the u.s. now needs to form a new relationship with the zantawi. that would give us the best outcome in the west and then eventually down the road, the military is going to probably allow elections to take place and we ll see the national democratic party put someone

these had interesting flavor infusions, fresh herbs and stuff like that. gregg: jacques torres choice has key lime, carmel coffee, nut butter, chile pepper? yeah. this is from here in new york. this one in particular had probably the funkiest out of all the flavors. i mean good funky. creative. this is a really traditional high end chocolate. this would be for somebody that you want to give just a really traditional high quality chocolate. gregg: if you have a really simple pallet like me, the 2.50 bag of jelly beans is good enough. jamie hirsch, thanks very much. that is it for us. stay tuned for the fox report. have a great weekend, everybody. heather: bye. witthe venture card from capital one,
the president also welcomed egypt s supreme council of the armed forces announcement that it is, quote, committed to a democratic civilian transition and will stand by egypt s international obligations. the president manufactured his conviction that democracy will bring more, not less, stability to that region. others are suggesting that leaders in the arab world need to be pro-active in bringing change before they, too, are overcome by revolutionary forces at work in that region. i think the lesson ought to be that authoritarian states in the region need to get ahead of their populations. they need to lead the process of political and economic reform, not seem to begrudgingly pushed there by their people and that s the opportunity in the region and i would hope particularly leaders like king abdullah of jordan and abdullah of saudi arabia would use this opportunity to start leading the process of reform in their countries. the sources in washington tell me that syrian pr
