bring you news around the clock from around the world this is r t i matter as a six pm in moscow the thought of war has settled over the ongoing unrest in libya there are conflicting reports on the number of killed the airstrikes by gadhafi forces the number of cities controlled by the opposition pretty much everything is in dispute we go wave over reports suggested the opposition was in control of almost the whole country and cut off he was doing or he's on a boy to want to be opposition held benghazi to find out why these turned out to be exaggerations at best. of your in comprehensible as it sounds it's present in any conflict just days ago these parents fear for their children's lives today they're taking their pictures in front of the tanks the desire to be captured the last thing in the face of danger is even stronger image of journalists and the conflict in libya is providing a perfect setting for it on t.v.

screens ghazi may look like the center of the rebel resistance in the country is waking to another day of chaos you've got the may have lost about half of his country they watched these bombs fall from the skies and in reality it's more like a seaside resort than a conflict zone. who told a book to journalists and residents go about their daily lives here in boise looking for new things to play with toy guns are in ample supply. some reports sent from because the referred to the tree is true as war not a conflict zone where rebels are engaged in sporadic and oscillated pitched battles with pro get out if force is but an all out war moammar gadhafi is striking back forces loyal to libyan leader moammar gadhafi appeared to be advancing east libya's leader moammar gadhafi has fled the country with rebels professing their readiness to pipe good after his regime to the bitter end no wonder news reports

a caring predictions of imminent civil war yet as the rebels inability to mount a fully fledged defensive becomes more apparent so is the unbalanced nature of the coverage rather than being impartial observers thousand airport stopped short of directing the protesters but here the al-jazeera crew is working out the crowd in time for their next live in. number so what's one of the first reporters to arrive in benghazi for several days she's been traveling with the rebels about two hundred kilometers west of the city at some point the pro-government forces opened fire at her through the focal point of her career there is a war going on where the real like it or not there is that there is a front line you know and there are people with guns and there are two sides fighting she's channels know the gunfire there's a snake for strong disease but they also can't help to blow things out of this recession that journalist and leave freely from tripoli and all the gadhafi

government a terrorist you know only interest many people think that being one correspondent takes a lot of courage and hard work but actually. it's much easier and more enjoyable than routine journalistic assignments especially one that was thinking sybase so accommodating the problem here and the thing got beat is that some reporters became not only part of the story but in its main driving force and instead of hoping that full blown confrontation and block showed very thing that almost calling for it sort of like art see in gaza the. u.s. radio host even lemon says the white house was using the country's media to put a spin on your events in libya. the people who used. these people want something different they realize that they have a different situation. in the out sure you know isn't it true eons they
