Gadhafi son improperly extradited to Libya, former lawyer says
By Mick Krever, CNN
The extradition of Saadi Gadhafi, son of former Libyan dictator Moammar Gadhafi, back to Libya from Niger may not have been proper, suggested a lawyer who has formerly represented him.
“I’m not even sure that he was extradited,” Nick Kaufman told CNN’s Hala Gorani, sitting in for Christiane Amanpour, from Jerusalem.
“Extradition suggests that this was a legal process where Saadi Gadhafi was accorded a lawyer, a court hearing, and…it’s not even clear to me that that even took place.”
Saadi Gadhafi fled Libya more than two years ago, after his father’s death in the uprising that ousted him from power.
He had been living in Niger ever since.
“I’m quite surprised at the authorities in Niger,” Kaufman said. “They know who I am. They know that I was formerly representing Saadi. They know how to contact me.”

Ukraine and Russian ministers are talking, economy minister tells CNN
By Mick Krever, CNN
Ukrainian and Russian ministers are talking to each other, including Prime Ministers Arseniy Yatsenyuk and Dmitry Medvedev, Ukrainian Economy and Trade Minister Pavlo Sheremeta told CNN’s Hala Gorani, sitting in for Christiane Amanpour.
“It’s not uniformal [sic] rejection of the Ukrainian government,” Sheremeta said from Kiev. “We are communicating, we are talking, and that’s the right thing to do.”
“I think our prime minister talked to the Russian prime minister,” he said, and added that the Ukrainian energy minister had also spoken to his Russian counterpart.
Ukraine: There is dialogue with Russia
Hala Gorani, in for Christiane Amanpour, speaks with Ukrainian Economy and Trade Minister Pavlo Sheremeta
U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry, as well as other foreign ministers, has urged talks between Russia and Ukraine to negotiate an end to the standoff over the Ukrainian region of Crimea, of which Russian troops remain in effective control.
It is not clear if those discussions constituted real negotiations.
Ukraine’s top negotiator with the Crimean government Petro Poroshenko told Christiane Amanpour on Tuesday that the two countries’ defense ministers had spoken, but it was “not a negotiation, unfortunately.”
“We have lots of common challenges,” Sheremeta said, striking an optimistic tone.
Israel would preserve ‘Jewish, democratic’ values with Palestinian deal, Tzipi Livni tells Amanpour
By Mick Krever, CNN
A peace deal with the Palestinians would allow Israel to keep its “values as a Jewish, democratic state,” chief Israeli negotiator and Justice Minister Tzipi Livni told CNN’s Christiane Amanpour on Tuesday.
“The best choice is to divide the land and to keep the state of Israel – maybe smaller – but with our values as a Jewish, democratic state living in harmony – a secured state,” Livni said from Washington.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu travelled to Washington to meet with U.S. President Barack Obama and discuss, among other things, America’s renewed push for Middle East peace.
Secretary of State John Kerry is spearheading an effort to have Israel and the Palestinians reach a framework agreement – a foundation upon which a permanent deal could be negotiated.
“I’m sure that [neither] us [nor] the Palestinians are going to be in love with it,” Livni said. “But I hope that both of us can live with it, move forward, and this is something that can create trust and basis for negotiations.”
Ukraine invites observers to rebuff Putin ‘neo-Nazi’ and ‘anti-Semite’ claims
By Mick Krever, CNN
Responding to Russian President Vladimir Putin’s allegations that there are neo-Nazis threatening the Ukrainian population, Ukraine’s top negotiator with the Crimean government invited “any international organization” to come to Ukraine and see the situation for themselves.
“We are open for any observers to come to any part of Ukraine and to be absolutely sure that Ukraine now outside of the Crimea is absolutely safe,” Petro Poroshenko, a Ukrainian MP and former Foreign Minister told CNN’s Christiane Amanpour.
“We have lots of the different nationalities including Jews in our government. And I think that [Putin] is simply not [an] understandable position.”
Ukraine rebuffs Putin 'neo-Nazi' claims
Petro Poroshenko, Ukraine's top negotiator with the Crimean government, strikes back at claims made by Russia's Putin.
The Russian president launched the accusation at a press conference earlier on Tuesday.
"We have a request of the legitimate President Yanukovych to protect the welfare of the local population,” he said. “We have neo-Nazis and Nazis and anti-Semites in parts of Ukraine, including Kiev.”
“You don’t find any tiny arguments to confirm the words of President Putin,” Poroshenko said.

Pistorius will get fair trial, says lawyer who taught judge
By Mick Krever, CNN
Oscar Pistorius, South African Olympian facing murder charges over the death of his girlfriend, will get a fair trial, Mannie Witz, a lawyer who served as teacher to the judge in the case, told CNN’s Christiane Amanpour on Monday.
“I think it’s very, very important – not only to South Africa, but also for the whole world – to see that we’ve got a very, very good justice system,” Witz said from Pretoria, where Pistorius’ trial began Monday.
Pistorius faces one charge of premeditated murder and a firearms charge associated with Steenkamp's killing, as well as two separate gun indictments from 2012.
“Knowing the judge in this particular matter, I think that should ensure that he does get a fair trial,” Witz said. “She follows the rules, she follows the procedure, and I’ve got no doubt that in regards to all the parties – they’re very experienced, they’re very, very well-versed experienced.”
