the clear implication multiples of. those are merely the medicine. that. corn intervention in trouble libya gets clipped as the u.s. repositions its naval forces in the region and the u.k. refuses to rule out using military assets against his regime. at the same time military stated no air strikes which the western media have been reporting have actually occurred on the ground in libya more in doubt in just a few moments. western nations have been quick to back the hour about rising to stunning views of looking young grazing in the new sun as his personal savior send that to approach the same. day one of the monks heralded a wall of russia's police to trying to use public trust in the pools but many say

the result is only skin deep. business gazprom will play develop a giant brick to gas field russia's gas giants has bought all assets of the bankrupt russia petroleum you tube or up to seven hundred seventy million dollars joining me for that and more this is called. the sales in line from the scale the u.s. and started repositioning its heavy hitting ships in the mediterranean triggering a speculation of the naysaying invasion of libya will britons vowing to set up an a fly in the strengthening to use military forces against these regime or any measures in london with more. the strongest side among several strong signs that they are ramping up this this pressure is this repositioning of the u.s.

is warships in the region we've seen the aircraft carrier u.s.s. enterprise which is literally bristling with choice of planes. from pirate patrolling for pirates off the coast of somalia down now to the mouth of the suez canal which is within a flying distance of libya and there's talk that it might be moved even closer but we've also heard u.k. prime minister david cameron talk about setting up a no fly zone in libya that essentially means that any aircraft that takes off inside libya will potentially be able to be shot down by u.k. and allied forces under the assumption that aircraft that do take off are headed to be turned against the libyan people themselves and that in fact is similar to a position that was taken against saddam hussein. and was imposed in iraq ahead of the invasion of iraq and we also heard talk that there's a possibility that jets will be based in the u.k.

and across bases in cyprus to perform those functions and we've also heard some reports. that western powers are also preparing to arm. the forces inside libya and of course this all comes against a backdrop of a very strong statement from the u.s. secretary of state hillary clinton he said that the u.s. is ready to offer and i quote any type of assistance libyans who wish to oust gadhafi and in all of this we shouldn't forget that there is a sizable u.s. naval base in rain that's the headquarters of the u.s. navy's fifth fleet and thousands of sorties during the gulf war were flown from bahrain over to iraq and it could be an important base in any military intervention that is could take place in libya the u.n. has imposed trade restrictions. and it's also foreign assets all of which is intended to store the regime of cash that might be intended to hire

foreign mercenaries to support russia is also against this no fly zone that's being proposed by cameron and others and also the international community together with russia supports a u.n. security council unanimous she referred libya and more specifically. the international criminal court for an investigation into. those of human rights during this time of crimes against humanity that may have taken place in libya whilst gadhafi is seeming to turn the army on his own people the argument being that of course gadhafi and his loyal supporters will presumably think twice about turning the army in and other weapons on its own people if it thinks that the full force of international law will be brought down against it remains to be seen whether this military intervention will in fact take and take place or whether this is just threats to. his supporters and whether in fact these sanctions and this

action by the international court of human rights will be enough. the reports of libya mobilizing its force against its own people spread quickly around the world but russia's military chief says they've been monitoring from space and the pictures tell a different story. at this point we have information from russia's joint staff why are saying that they have not monitoring the situation in libya from space spies that alive since the beginning of the unrest in the country and according to them some of the reports why they've made by the western media are not entirely corresponding to the pictures that they are getting to be more precise according to al-jazeera and to b.b.c. on the twenty second of february libyan government has inflicted the air strikes on bin ghazi the biggest city in the country and on tripoli and according to russia's military these have not registered any of those airstrikes according to them that pictures show that nothing all of that sort has been going on the ground now if we

also focus on the future is the out on the footage that we've been getting from the country we may be able to notice that there are absolutely no signs of any destruction inflicted by attacks from the air or a pile of an air force in those pictures so at this point russian military saying that as far as they're concerned they have not seen any attacks so they can pretty much make a judgment that those attacks which the western media has been reporting on have not been made the russian military is also working in very close cooperation with russia's ministry of foreign affairs than they're monitoring not just the military situation not just tripoli and other cities in libya they're also being a very close attention to the oil extraction facilities and they are keeping us up to date as to what is happening on the ground from space. for more on what's going on in libya and its cost to join release from the stop the war coalition he joins us live from the mysteries many being here now do you think that military

intervention is likely to take place in libya now. well i sincerely hope not it's quite clear that both the americans and the pretty sure are making serious noises about this but it would be an absolute disaster were they to carry through with these plans practically the one sensible thing that makes any sense at all to libyans going colonel gadhafi says that the revolution is a mask for foreign involvement if the imperial powers actually do intervene it will make it look as if he's right and that will be a disastrous turn of events for the revolutionaries who are trying to overthrow him i was recently in both here square in cairo and in tunis and i think that the western powers have to be very clear that the last thing that the people who topple very thick taters in the middle east one is the intervention of the western powers you say military intervention would be disastrous for libya some have suggested that such possible intervention could see

a repeat of the iraq war scenario what's you'll feel is a possible military intervention. well i think that's absolutely right i mean it should be it should be clear to any idiot that the mess that's been made in afghanistan the terrible disaster that was caused in iraq really shouldn't be because they want any more countries in the middle east least of all the time when the populations of those countries are doing very well thank you in dealing with their dictators we can see what the problem might be if we look at the events over the last few days in iraq itself because there were joint sunni and shia demonstrations that went to the green zone in which perhaps thirteen perhaps more people were killed by a puppet government which is still ruling by virtue of american military occupation of iraq really that is not the kind of help that the revolution in the middle east and they can adapt he's western leaders of betraying him in all this do you think

that's a sentiment that might perhaps be educated by other arab leaders across the region . well i think the people who will be betrayed by any military action or the ordinary people in their millions who made these revolutions or attempting to make these revolutions across the middle east i mean quite frankly i don't care what kind of things what is breathtaking is the hypocrisy of the western leaders i mean really only days ago the western leaders in particular leaders of the united states and britain were being financing lavishing praise on the on the gadhafi regime these are the very last people who should now be turning around and pretending to be the the people assisting the revolutions that are trying to overthrow gadhafi perhaps if they had this thought who are you could actually would have been overthrown many years ago looking across the region now and as now the country in turmoil somalia is in civil war for more than a decade now yet invention that has been very slim why is that. well i think we

all understand that the imperial powers have no universal interest in backing human rights or indeed in backing revolutions they do so when it suits them for completely other purposes and we already know in this country there were already voices saying look what we're going there for is to protect the oil installations and other interests so the argument about defending the revolution or helping the revolution is completely untrue and completely self-serving actually if they wanted to do that of course there is a revolutionary government in benghazi more than half the country is already liberated if the western powers are really interested in helping the revolution they should recognize that revolutionary government right now doesn't seem to be very high on their profits so what else should these western powers be doing to react to this inside from getting their citizens out of the country should they now want some backing out of libya's internal affairs. absolutely they need to keep

aren't the record of of the western powers of the imperial powers generally in the middle east is one of disaster piled upon disaster and the very very first lesson learned is that especially given recent events is that the people of the middle east are in probably capable of dealing with these with these dictators on their own terms even when we talk about the no fly zone there have been libyan pilots taking their planes and defecting in malta the libyan pilot who has crashed his plane in the present rather than open fire on the on the revolutionaries there was a story yesterday about the the libyan revolutionaries barreling progress the plane . we really don't need to see the british air force or the british army or the american marine corps the american navy helping these people out they're completely capable of ruling themselves and of dealing with these dictators on their own terms

an important point about this is those who do the liberating the ruling out the words if the revolutionaries do the liberating they get through their own country afterwards if the eighty second airborne do it we know what happens when they get that they run the country afterwards john writes person with a national officer stop the war coalition many times. now media reports suggest the libyan leader has found his closeness ally in the country named led by europe's last dictator bellary so he's playing has been allegedly sponsored in the capital minsk something the russian foreign ministry denies assays and it's just and it's a possible connection between. according to experts from the stockholm based international peace research institute sixty two aircraft two course in the middle of february from the air base in belle russia in the town of what i know which and headed for the libyan town of star power which according to experts is indeed

a key strategic center in in libya this base from where the bill sixty two airplane took off in bel air was is as represents a stockpile of different weaponry putting rocket launchers and machine guns and all other sorts of weaponry and allegedly they headed for libya now this alleged transfer of weaponry from belarus to libya happened before the u.n. security council imposed an embargo on all weapons sales to libya this is the latest in a string of different allegations connecting minsk in tripoli which surfaced in the last several weeks several days ago media outlets reported that eyewitnesses supported mercenaries from belarus fighting on the side on the side of khadafi troops in libya on monday several media outlets reported that the office private jet was spotted landing in a minsk airport before flying back to libya these claims have been denounced

by the country's foreign ministry which called insinuations against minsk but we'll keep you updated throughout the tail. and morning analysis available. well those behind the arab uprisings are having no trouble finding friends in the west but it's an abrupt change of heart for those countries who've been supporting the previous regimes for decades. now reports on the deep suspicion in the middle east that the u.s. and its allies are telling devote proceeds to pick their own interests. demonstrations for regime change across the arab world have spread like wildfire western powers of can are backing a protester mourning regime change dramatically changing the colors and supporting

the ousting of authoritarian rulers they backed only weeks ago as demonstrations sweep across the arab world with the government's support a call for change but is it a call for change or is it actually a call for regimes that they want in power it's not the first time the west has shown and ellicott approach to democracy in the arab world six years ago elections in gaza were hailed internationally as a massive milestone for the middle east. with representatives from the renowned political figures and organizations who were present during the election and monitored it and its authenticity to the world. but when the results were in that authenticity was ignored one. thing here is that. the worst visible democracy is wrong it's good for them. it is not good for the word. interests and their. supporters and the west most certainly did not

support the new harassed government despite being voted in by more than sixty percent of gazans western power was labeled hamas a terrorist organization yet there are not really many instances of genuine democracy in the west the cure for democracy but when people make a democratic choice or choosing among us they refused to help a western democracy is a false democracy and markets to gobble standards for the benefit of europe. which is why as soon as hamas was voted in western governments got busy with trying to booted out to boycott and sanctions which raises the question why support free elections in the first place but not there are. you know i believe the west is in constant need of regimes to go along with its policy as a shooter serve the west be it approaches i'll be elected by the. people. i believe that the americans. don't really know how to handle this situation a relationship is good their fear will. take level go there were times when post

him and go bother him in the road term when the support of them when he gave them the oil but now he's no longer of use and like to take his elsewhere who at the start of the year will in favor in the waste he's been ditched the hopes an arab world for change under obama appear to be dwindling among some political figures at least under president bush the lot of criticism. that had after the advent of president obama was a lot of. welcome to the new america under mr obama. i would have hoped for the administration under president obama would have better the protesters across the arab world hoping to topple dictators in the quest for democracy may find that a choice may not be as free as they'd hoped for with a middling hand from afar still pulling the strings policy r.t.

era name of meat they're in favor of the moral world the recognizable police for the government it's a first step down a long road towards modernizing the service and arresting a sharp decline in public perception. the people stressed of the boys in blue has been dealt a huge blow in recent years it's led to any zaya amongst officers and outrage from knows they're supposed to protect incidents like a supermarket rampage by officer you've seen off who opened fire an innocent shoppers killing two and wounding seven it was the final straw that fueled calls for reform but can changing their name bring about a change in behavior while some insist that any change is long overdue for others it's purely cosmetic of the earth fact that there were so many accidents with police officers we're hearing illegally in russia during the previous years. this very fact is not going to be changed by the change of the law because

these illegal practices were concret of the previous legislation as well as cauldron of the current work the big question is whether there is the political will. to get it under control the police themselves though are preparing for the changes to come up with a huge part of our ratings will depend on the people of this country how they value each outperformance. this colonel is already grasping the essence of modernizing the force her students seemed eager to absorb as much information before their upcoming exams so that it was everyone would be interested in physical ability knowledge of new civic duties all those are included in new exams there will be no indulgences for anyone either pass the test or leave the force other changes are a mixed blessing there'll be a twenty percent cut in personnel but the remaining officers will get a pay rise there will be better screening of new recruits with every detail of an

applicant's background put under the microscope but until all that takes effect officers have to knuckle down to the job in hand restoring honor to russia's police is a tough task and the public are no pushover judges but the force is determined to turn that around reexamining staff we were signing uniforms all those changes will take a lot of time to be fully implemented one of the first things that change will be signs like these which soon will feature internationally recognisable policing catching on as our moscow. claims that the american military has been getting in the way by psychologically manipulating the country's decision making is raising hackles on capitol hill rolling stone magazine says on long if groups thing as it seems to put pressure on congress when visiting are gonna sound money and support for the war are going to just hand the story. were u.s.

lawmakers brainwashed by the military when making key decisions on supporting the escalation of the war in afghanistan that's a question posed by rolling stone magazine which alleges lieutenant general william caldwell the man in charge of training in afghanistan ordered psychological operations against visiting senators and congressional delegations to manipulate them into backing more funding and troops for the war there they have a special unit back conduct psychological operations now to be information support operations said he was told to provide quote deeper and now a series of pressure points we could use to leverage the delegation from more fronts my job in science is to play with people's heads to get the enemy to behave the way we want them to behave and perhaps from doing that to a rule people when you asked me to try to use these skills on senators and congressmen you're crossing a lying moreover it's illegal to do so according to the defense department's own

definition psychological operations imply the use of propaganda and psychological tactics to influence the motions and behaviors and are supposed to be used exclusively on hostile foreign groups but instead of fighting afghan insurgents holmes and his team were systematically ordered to use their training to influence u.s. members of congress it is a methodology used for enemy yes this is not something you do with allies who are members of your own government tasked with oversight responsibilities of your operation that's why the senators were there not to be pals not to be partners or to have oversight over what the pentagon was doing and because the pentagon not wanting at every oversight as much and wanting to extract more resources from the senate to support your men mission he used one of the techniques they used against the taliban against the united states senate that's that's incredible the long list of high profile targets included carl levin. who's the chairman of the senate armed

forces committee steve israel a member of the house appropriations committee senators john mccain and out franken although many of the senators say they doubt they were subject to any influence i don't see how it could have affected my positions. so we'll see what happens but back in january last years the klan as reported on the sudden shift of some senators the use after their visit to afghanistan was a very big jump and shift and i felt it was something i wrote about and i called while this is like a confidence game and so you know you feel as if the military is manipulating people but i didn't know about these things article at the time or about psyops one example is senator al franken who in january last year went to afghanistan with strong doubts on criticism but came back quote feeling much better despite the u.s. continuing to pump billions of dollars into the military campaign in afghanistan the insurgency intensifies the rampant drug trade is surging just like the wars on

popularity in america the problem is it's a political so we need a political solution not a military one general's don't bring wars to it and politicians do but some say the reported use of psychological cap takes to influence politicians could be happening not only in afghanistan but here in washington as well there's. tends to be a belief that you can't necessarily trust the political leaders behind the war but you can't trust the military behind a war that's not really the case not a military is just as eager to stand up and step it. to its own benefit. unfortunately congressmen are also willing to believe now the pentagon is looking into the matter experts say they're going to try and downplay the effect of this report lieutenant general caldwell has already denied a given such warders but if true for many it's going to be
