Let us remember the golden rule, do unto others as you would [ applause ] do unto others as you would have them do unto you. This rule points us in a clear direction. Let us treat others with the same passion and compassion with which we want to be treated. Let us seek for others the same possibilities which we seek for ourselves. Let us help others to grow, as we would like to be helped ourselves. In a word, if we want security, let us give security. If we want life, let us give life.

And were in moscow for readings of tolstoys war and peace. Libyas rival governments have reached a deal. The sides have at least agreed on a u. N. Brokered plan to form a unity leadership. The envoy says the two sides will formally sign the deal on wednesday. Under this plan the new government should be in place within two years. Lets cross now to tunis with this potentially landmark deal. Tell us more. Reporter i think the key part of the discussion and what was preventing a deal from being agreed in previous talks, was the president ial council and who will be in it. It was agreed there will be nine members. Martin cobbler, who is the new u. N. Special envoy to libya has only been on the job for a while and he has man aged to bring confidence back into the u. N. Lead process, and he had this to say about the delegates who were here. Im today very happy to have this agreement around the table. Im convinced that human suffering has to end in libya, and those who agree to sign, they put
Toll stays war and peace. Just moments ago, the u. N. Envoy to libya announced a deal to form a unity government after months of talks. He made that announcement from tunis, but at the same time, the Foreign Ministers of the world have joined to meet in rome, the big meeting on sunday, obviously, this will be top of their agenda, as well. We are joined live now from rome. This is a pretty big announcement. Obviously there are as i will many more steps before its finally implemented, but tell me more how we can expect this to affect the meeting of the Foreign Ministers in rome. Just a few minutes ago, Sergey Lavrov mentioned, talked about libya. Well, definitely it will be a positive. At the end of the day, the conference in rome which is dubbed the peace conference, what the italians were hoping was to give a decisive push towards the creation of a National Unity government.

Undermine the political path and those that provide them with a lifeline while the International Community emphasizes there is only one solution and that is the political solution. There are those who do irresponsib irresponsibly echo and repeat they will resort to a military solution and gave names to its failed initiatives. Such names as stones, volcanos, the cyclones, and the tornados. It has become quite clear that the success of the political process is predicated on a serious and effective and combatting of terrorism. My country welcomes the adoption of the resolution and the efforts to submit the resolutions which have complemented and added important dimensions not fully covered in the previous resolutions of the Security Council on combatting terrorism by imposing clear and unambiguous obligations on those countries that support terrorism, notably the implementation of resolutions 2170, 2178, 2199.

I dont think it is very helpful. Thank you, madam chair for holding this hearing. I want to say at the outset i have an honor flight coming in shortly. I have somebody from bangladesh here. I was clair of this committeehair of this committee a while back. I went to yemen and mr. Connolly is right, there have been problems there for years. But i would argue that they certainly have gotten worse under the administration and you know it was this administration that claimed that yemen was a Success Story and clearly it has been anything but that. When we were on our way over there, there was an a terrorist attack on a graduation at the military barracks and over 100 new soldiers were murdered by terrorists. So its been going on for a while.

Its four or five capitals now in the region that are controlled by the iranians. So its a very dange
