the children of each college or. but you know who to put you. to make her chose your very cool durable teacher and your motto. in serbia multis available in most good and hard read and see. the u.s. led coalition against colonel gadhafi his forces grows pummeling libya with more air strikes and cruise missiles. bombs may have all the diffuse headquarters in the capital as close as lined up the sky with fire on policy when something done in just a few moments from all. international calls against the intervention are growing louder russia condemns the violence which has already claimed over sixty civilian lives all the details coming out. washington maintains its intervention will be limited even though it's behind most of the pain the dropzone that is raising fears that this humanitarian protest would have legal consequences

from civilians as it did in iraq under ten stone. also the japanese imports get the global cold shoulder after the fukushima radiation me along with number of dead from the earthquake disaster rises to more than eight thousand. that's twelve noon here in moscow you're watching our take on kerry johnston the u.s. britain and france claim they have succeeded in scattering and isolating the dolphins' forces after a weekend of strikes because mission says they have no information to confirm if sixty four people were killed during the bombardment on sunday nights colonel gadhafi command center in tripoli was destroyed during the targeted attack. is in the capital with more. we are hearing from the pentagon that it is extremely

satisfied with the way this operation is so far being conducted if there's a gadhafi is increasingly under stress that they have managed to isolate and scatter his forces we're also hearing that washington in a matter of just days will be ready to relinquish control of this whole operation over now the last few hours have been relatively quiet here in the capital city of tripoli the situation remains incredibly tense people are certainly incredibly frightened and around midnight local time there was a whole scattering of fire in the sky in part this is because of empty fire that was being fired from the libyan forces and also now we receiving confirmation that a missile hit because afy compound what we're hearing from allied forces is that it struck the control and control control and command building of his operations was that we are seeing international opposition grow it's not only the arab league that is now coming out with these conflicting statement that it's signed up for the protection of civilians and after the killing of civilians that we also see in

countries like russia china latin america demonstrations happening in those countries with people against this operation you need to remember that was very important for european powers to get the backing of the arab world the understanding now is that they're backing might only come from the united arab emirates qatar and possibly jordan and that if that back in comes it will be more in the sense of financial aid people here on the ground who want to the international community to get involved and i'm talking here specifically about the rebel groups the opposition leaders they would much rather have preferred countries like china z. and egypt coming to the fore and for this to have been almost like an arab revolution for democracy rather than the intervention of wisdom powers there are very legitimate questions being asked why for example when it's all carried out of abroad and over gaza in two thousand and eight and two thousand and nine why when was there not a no fly zone imposed by the international communities are those kind of questions at the forefront of people's minds and me against the backdrop of this growing criticism of this operation most people here to. not really believe the libyan army

when it calls for a cease fire there was a cease fire that was announced on saturday and as we saw almost simultaneously there were strikes and air raids and attacks on the grounds taking place so the announcement on sunday night a spokesperson for the libyan army that there would be an immediate cease fire is certainly being greeted with a lot of skepticism on the ground the rebels themselves simply do not believe that the international community has yet to respond but it is important to say that the gadhafi regime is still sticking by its earlier argument and that is that it is it here interests that it is the rebels that all the ones that are provoking them it is the rebels they're on the offensive and they are the ones who are breaking at the international community is a pains to say that its intention is really to stop the fighting to stop the killing of civilians and that it's not really at this stage trying to get gadhafi out of power but the criticism against that is well then why strike at his compound and the second criticism is also well if you do not get the man to step down this kind of impostor a situation on the ground could continue for weeks if not months. away give us your

thoughts about what are the types of the updates are waiting for your comments on our facebook page just search. around the clock on our twitter stream we want your opinions on the latest about it and some. progress on twitter simply underscore. the e.u. foreign ministers are meeting in brussels to discuss libya. so far failed to agree on whether to get involved our europe correspondent daniel bushell has more from brussels where we're now into day three of a two day nato meeting which really tells you everything you need to know that there are growing concerns and divide within also the community many of which are participating in this nato led operation we first the imposition of a no fly zone which was the original aim which was voted through the us. despite

some abstentions from key states and that was to ground these ships and helicopters then we had the u.s. saying that they. could i think held areas and france is going in very aggressively so we had u.s. military generals boasting about their success is there and that is exposing even more splits within the community here in brussels because you have germany abstaining from the vote those other countries india china russia abstaining from that u.n. vote which was for a no fly zone and now we're talking about going into held areas but only now is nato talking about putting humanitarian issues first which was the key a the whole operation for the world community to have turkey which is a very important ally within the european and nato community getting increasingly concerned about what is happening in libya the threats of civilian casualties the bombings that are going on there and so we're really seeing here in increasing

problems over the whole operation just outside this building there was an antiwar demonstrations yesterday the first signs of public rift within the european community we're expecting them over this week today in various parts of europe in london were expecting this week various antiwar demonstrations if this war there were. intervention public demonstrations. that would stop people in civilian casualties now that we see the reality of what is happening there there was talk of a second the wrong there a ground forces going to be used which wasn't the intention when the u.n. approved this operation. moscow's condemning the international coalition airstrikes in that area and once western troops to stop what it calls the indiscriminate use of force. he was outside russia's foreign ministry

here where herring all for heavy military destruction reports of civilian deaths and that tell us how is russia responding to the situation there. russia has always boys to its concerns about the possibility of an allied intervention in libya and of course now that that possibility has become a reality russia's grave concerns have been forced even more frequently now moving to a condemnation of the violence towards the coalition bombings that have already claimed at least sixty civilian lives russia has already expressed its concern that should the bombings continue those numbers of civilian deaths will increase and of course that is not exactly what you want resolution one thousand seventy three was focused on when it's spoke of introducing a no fly zone so russia alongside many of its allies within the international community pushing grave concerns about the ongoing conflict in libya there russia's

foreign minister is in north africa right now is he like is be calling for calm. we know the city lover of the russian foreign affairs minister is in egypt in the news of course scheduled to hold a number of top meetings with the various egyptian officials including the interim prime minister and the opposition leader mohamed el baradei who forces the former head of the international atomic energy agency and the question of the ongoing conflict in libya is certainly going to feature prominently on the agenda of the russian foreign minister's visit. we know that egypt has been very cautious about the possibility of that and intervention by the u.s. and european allied forces and of course that now that that has become a reality you might have some strong opinions on that as well we know that previously gyptian officials have said that the settled. and the resolution of this

conflict lies solely within libya's hansen something that needs to be resolved domestically we know that's available for is also scheduled to meet with the secretary general of the league of arab nations and that meeting is also of course going to be focused on the ongoing conflict in libya the arab league states of first of all of course supported the u.n. resolution and the establishment of a no fly zone over libya but have since raised concerns saying that when they lent their support to the resolution it was with up with the view of preserving civilian lives in libya and stead of the subjecting the civilians on the ground to even more danger of course now that that has happened they are very concerned with the coalition bombings that are taking place we know that emergency meeting of the arab league and member states is scheduled where that question is also going to be discussed others are

a point of view shared by many of course in north africa and around the world rushing clue did that the presence of coalition forces in libya could not only prevent civilian casualties and somehow stab allies or just to asia but actually worsen the situation not only in libya border in the north african region as a whole. carrier there for now live from moscow tensions are of a french. or u.s. at the forefront of the strikes on libya deploying some of its heaviest firepower against gadhafi regime that's despite washington insisting for days that the u.s. would be in it for a supporting role with his coach and her experience. the pentagon says they do not rule out more strikes quote if and when the need arises if you watch american television you get the impression that america's involvement is a really good thing and that there was no other option but intervention but if you look at the course the majority of americans of polls the u.s.

involvement in the intervention fox news gives sixty five percent they're already unhappy that their government is spending tax dollars on inconclusive wars in iraq and afghanistan and adding one more hot spot is the last thing they want just this saturday the u.s. shot seventy five million dollars worth of missiles and get out if their defenses officials though have promised that it's going to be a fast war obama said that there will be no u.s. troops on the ground but as of now we know that the u.s. contribution in the strikes substantially outweighs all of the coalition forces combined so it's really a hard task to create a pure insert not being the leading force also the fact that president obama did not interrupt his trip collect america it's also kind of an indication that he doesn't want to be seen as the man in chief all this pain is so it was a very calculated decision you could say speaking of the goals of the intervention in libya as we know is to protect civilians that is the justification but critics

say we have to be careful with the official reasoning behind military campaigns and really question more the u.s. for example has a track record of starting military campaigns on false grounds eight years after the beginning of the war in iraq we're getting more evidence of lies told by u.s. officials to justify their invasion of the country take a look at this report. air strikes in libya a humanitarian act to protect civilians from a dangerous they cater that's the reason given by the u.s. and its allies for their latest military for e. but when it comes to justifying its wars america has become the nation that cried wolf especially now when one of the key sources use the head of the two thousand and three iraq invasion has admitted he lied i just wanted to do something for my country so i'm satisfied there is no teacher there anymore if i must i would do the same thing again i have no regrets rafique my at all no knowledge anybody aka curveball was seeking asylum in germany back in two thousand he told german

intelligence that saddam hussein had biological weapons mounted on trucks they didn't believe him and when u.s. intelligence requested his testimony before attacking iraq germany told them he was unreliable but that didn't stop top u.s. officials building their case using him and no intelligence of their own we're giving you our faction conclusions based on solid intelligence one of the so-called solid sources was an al qaida suspect who lied under torture to cia allies in egypt about set and ties with terrorists the other was curveball even now despite all the evidence of lies and deception key players in the bush administration are still in denial about their role in the events saying they were not sufficiently informed i don't know if there would have been a different level in the in a scene that for you they tell you anything. you corvair no i don't know where

you're not on the e-mail list but it is not in their memoirs both collin powell the secretary of state back then and donald rumsfeld the defense secretary effectively dock responsibility and point the blame at others mainly the cia specifically george tenet head of the sea. at the time he said it was there and it wasn't and they believed him because they wanted to invade iraq and colin powell was digging for information at cia headquarters in langley of course they were digging for it because it wasn't clear he was trying to come up with something because he couldn't find it even after this latest revelation about curveballs lies many western media outlets put the following spin on the story u.s. officials they did not lie they were duped but it really reveals here is actually very true the headline that we saw from the guardian which was that the americans

were duped somehow by this story and that really isn't a very accurate telling of what happened in that really the cia wanted to do if you want to use that word at all but really they were looking for an excuse they found one the man who presented the case for war before the u.n. security council now says he was misled not that he too was part of an orchestrated plan to build a case for war no matter the evidence how was he duped so easily. i don't buy a lot of people followed very lightly knowing that what they were doing was what they wanted to be. they like the power of washington the big job the big fat salary after eight years of embarrassing revelations still no u.s. official has admitted lying most of those who took part in building the case with the iraq war out of my eyes are now off the books touring the country with their

memoirs and saying they were duped and many asked for their exoneration and this my public acceptance speech a bad last. summer. restrict our reporting from washington. returning to develop means in japan where smoke is rising yet again at the crippled fukushima nuclear power plant workers have been trying to get power back to restore the cooling systems of the last friday's powerful earthquake that's been evacuated from the area and fresh concerns of the radiation leak and the potential nuclear meltdown over twenty one thousand people have either perished on this ng since the crisis began the number instead expected to rise. well predicts it will take five years for japan to recover from the devastation radiation levels have risen in tokyo officials claim they're not harmful they should also be solid food products as worries over radiation spread far beyond japan shores was

a tease the and mr explains it's leading people to think twice before buying japanese coolants. as japan works overtime to avert a nuclear meltdown is another crisis in the making maybe maybe think twice second thoughts born of paranoia that radioactive remnants may reach far beyond japan's borders how worried about the safety maybe the seabed in france and radiation found in the water i would i'm going to read very wary of that why don't. it's the fear of japanese imports going all the way to the top u.s. regulators have said they will increase screenings of food coming in from the embattled asian nation the european union has warned members to do the same and italy was the first e.u. nation to ban food imports from japan all together in the wake of the nuclear scare it's feeling suspicion that besides the quake the tsunami and the nuclear crisis japan will soon have to deal with another problem becoming

a trade pariah like we will for reasons that may not be entirely radioactive countries all over the world in tough economic times in the store looking for ways to subsidize their own producers their workers and so an incident like the one unfolding in japan gives them quite a good reason to do something that they may have been looking to do anyway this is bad for trade made worse for the country itself if made in japan comes to mean native new nuclear wasteland to consumers in countries like the u.s. we're here in times square and i wanted to come down here because it is where the rubber meets the road as far as advertisement if by train you can really see the brands to play a major role in the united states i wanted to see how many of them were japanese now take a look at this center opposed to advertising from top to bottom you can see sony c.d.k. toshiba all japanese corporations playing a major role in the us i noticed even our camera and my my clip from my microphone

are a big factor by sony and with a nuclear disaster there is no telling what the board will be on but the manufacturing of companies like this also their brand has its own countries like the us and the cats have the made in japan label that would be concerned about like televisions the moments that might carry the radio active materials. and japan's economy will feel it for a long time to if trade so. there is a major blow and there's a down already near zero growth rate and if it does that it's going to have bigger effects internal to japan globally we don't know exactly what those are but they're potentially quite significant significant because in a global economy which made in japan matters for everyone many of the world's cell phones laptops in cars rely on a poxy computer chips are auto parts from the country stoppages in manufacturing
