make sure to look for the white check. hey what s going on? doing the shipping. man, it would be a lot easier if we didn t have to weigh em all. if those boxes are under 70 lbs. you don t have to weigh em. with these priority mail flat rate boxes from the postal service, if it fits, it ships anywhere in the country for a low flat rate. no weigh? nope. no way. yeah. no weigh? sure. no way! uh-uh. no way. yes way, no weigh. priority mail flat rate shipping starts at just $4.95, only from the postal service. a simpler way to ship. from libya, word of an immediate cease-fire, it comes from libya s army spokesperson, he said it was set to take effect just about 30 minutes ago. which was 9:00 libya time. no idea if that word has actually reached all forces
called an emergency meeting on the operation today. for more on that let s turn to reza sayah live in cairo. the arab league had supported the no-fly zone. did not like the idea that the assaults were taking place or the air drops. so the position has changed once again? reporter: well, for several hours, fredricka, it wasn t really clear what the arab league s position was when it comes to this no fly zone. but they held an emergency meeting and they finally, after a long time clarified their position. initially they came out and said, forget about what you heard in the earlier reports, we do fully support this no fly zone over libya. so let s move forward and start protecting the citizens of libya with the operation that s taking place. of course, earlier there were several news agencies that reported that the arab league was critical of how the no fly zone was being implemented. suggesting that it was too
model. let s list ston a little bit of what he said. but for our two nations, for the united states and brazil. two nations who have struggled over many generations to perfect our own democracies, the united states and brazil know that the future of the arab world will be determined by its people. now just as a sign of how contentious an issue this is a few blocks away from that speech, there were hundreds of demonstrators, really lashing out at what they call a u.s. invasion of libya. and while they re opposed to moammar gadhafi. they say that any foreign intervention will just bring more problems, fredricka. shasta darlington, thank you so much from rio de janeiro. traveling with the president of the united states, michael? just ahead, we re going to bring you up to speed on the crisis in japan. as quake survivors consider the future in their devastated land. like instant discounts, s free-nights. .and free breakfast at hotels in virtually every city.
but it s unclear whether it would be honored. that s the issue. reporter: that is the issue. it was very interesting. we heard admiral mike mullen, the joint chiefs of staff, earlier on cnn saying really what happens next in terms of air strikes, et cetera, would very much depend on the actions of moammar gadhafi. and the actions that precipitated these strikes yesterday. came hard on the heels of moammar gadhafi s army essentially trying to go into benghazi and as we ve seen today, his army outside the city was very heavily damaged in air strikes. so one would imagine that the aircraft overlooking and overflying libya right now would be looking to see exactly what is happening on the ground. is the cease-fire that the army has called for, is it going to be honored. and one would imagine if it isn t, there would be more of the punitive strikes against the army. if the army is going to honor
ten hours to drive that route. so that would be a very large march. that s what he was calling for. we heard from a spokesman at the foreign ministry saying they were calling on the african union to weigh in and give support to libya at this stage. clearly, libya very encouraged by the concerns that it s heard expressed by the arab league. and looking to the african union a that several weeks ago expressed concerns and talked about the situation in libya as being an internal issue. now calling on the african union to step in again and come to libya s support at this time, fredricka. so calling for it and actually honoring it are very different as you mentioned. and i look at the translation and transcription of the army spokesperson saying that the armed forces issued a command to all military units to safeguard immediate cease-fire, starting from 9:00 p.m. sunday, that would be right now.
