belgium is frozen without a government thousand dispute between major ethnic communities continues to be experts predict that the risk could spread false and all of your. regard to live from moscow it's two pm here in the russian capital one pm in tripoli libya where fresh explosions and gunfire have been heard as international coalition forces continue to go on barbara contrary the government says further civilian casualties occurred following a third day of allied airstrikes meanwhile troops loyal to the libyan leader colonel gadhafi have reportedly attacking rebel strongholds in the west as artie's also they are now reports well in the latest coalition is strikes to libyan naval bases and key libyan a ports was hit we're hearing from the government. brought him

here in tripoli that number of people were killed in what he says was a civilian airport in the city of set and certainly state television here has been reporting nonstop that many people have been killed many people have been injured in these latest a strikes rebel leaders in the east of the country have been meeting with members of representatives of the united nations in the city of to brooke and there are discussing humanitarian concerns and the latest humanitarian efforts there was a cease fire and non-swimmer by the government on sunday but this seemingly continues to be ignored on the ground as intensive fighting continues the government in three cities in the city of zen town in the ways there we're being told that government troops continue to bombard a town in the city of misrata for the fourth consecutive day the government troops have surrounded the town and they are stopping the supply of all water fuel and electricity to residents inside and then in the city of ajdabiya which is the next largest city after the rebel stronghold city of benghazi there we've been told that

government troops continue to ambush that is intensifying and the latest word we have is that rebel fighters are advancing from benghazi to edge to be trying to help their comrades and fellow fighters there now overnight here in the capital city of tripoli there were major explosions most of them came from the south of the city there was a lot of smoke in the skies that is where the compound of gadhafi is situated it has already been hit before a three story building near the controls the command and control center for his operations was we were told really destroyed but certainly here for several hours throughout the night monday it was anti aircraft fire canada is the latest to send for fighter jets we understand that they have flown over libya but they haven't actually as of yet participated in any operations they've also seems to refueling tanks here qatar has since six fighter jets they have landed in crete the british thai food fighters have also participated in the first ever combat mission that took place. on monday i'm being told that it will be a not

a meeting of the united nations security council that will be held this coming thursday to discuss these latest developments and the latest operations on the ground what is also sending alarm bells is that we are hearing from rebel leaders as they advance waste words to try and recapture some of the towns and some of the cities that they've lost their cool in the international community for more cover so people are just time valvular just how long is the international community keep going to provide this kind of at and what will be the continuous climb up civilians more people on the ground becoming increasingly alarmed that innocent people are going to be killed. well. the u.s. backed military intervention is a direct consequence of the behavior of libya's leader moammar gadhafi however he was critical of the bombing saying the no fly zone should be used only to protect civilians and bring about peace. more on russia's assessment of the invents unfolding in libya. president to be to be made very of said that although russia's

initial response was to call for a peaceful solution to the situation in libya through negotiations there colonel gadhafi actions in persistently attacking his own people and force the hand of the international community but this was why russia had voted in favor of imposing an arms embargo travel ban on the gadhafi regime and why the country haven't used its veto on the u.n. security council to block the no fly zone allowing international intervention president medvedev says it's all those involved in these military actions should remain and must remain within the parameters of the u.n. resolution which is there to protect civilians in the common ground in libya the president also said this although russia had no intentions to send troops or military hardware to the country that russia was prepared to step in as a mediator or u.s. defense secretary robert gates is in russia at the moment and he will meet with president dmitry medvedev plenty on the table already for them to discuss what the

current ongoing situation in libya means that it's very likely to be a main topic for discussion. with civilian lives at stake many experts say the. tread carefully as its actions may end up countering the u.n. resolution former british ambassador to libya oliver miles told asked about the risks. i think that so far as i can judge it is very difficult of course the military action that's been taken so far is exactly what robert gates the u.s. defense secretary said some weeks ago now would be necessary in order to impose a no fly zone that is to say eliminating fictive anti-aircraft defenses which might put petroleum croft in danger. it was obvious from the beginning of that that was going to involve a lot of intrusive military activity and inevitably civilian casualties i don't think anyone should be surprised at what happened and i think it's very worrying

indeed the mandate from the united nations perfectly clear it's to protect to impose a no fly zone but the purpose of it is to protect civilians and that means that if we kill civilians we are in danger of being accused of going against the mandate. but the lead role of the u.s. in the military operation against libya is already suffering a class but it's the ordinary american taxpayer battling unemployment at its deficit that stands to lose the most moralists or exploits. one to one point five million dollars the reported cost of this united states tomahawk missile launched into libya. it's only been a few days into operation odyssey dawn and already the costs of this environment from sea and air are skyrocketing the price of day one alone

is more than one hundred million dollars then the first two hours they fired one hundred ten cruise missiles so still right there thousands of teachers of course could be paid for coming at a time when teachers not to mention other public workers are fighting to keep their livelihoods close to ten percent of people are unemployed and the country faces fourteen trillion dollars of national debt the u.s. has already committed trillions to ongoing wars in afghanistan. as well as iraq. get to spite all this has moved to the helm of this international intervention but can the country of port getting involved again and united states clearly doesn't have money for this we will end up taking money from other important programs to mystically and other lawmakers locked in that constant debate over u.s. money problems are going public it's a strange time and we're almost all of our congressional days are spent talking

about budget deficit. problems and yet at the same time all of this passes which is a very expensive operation this mission was led by the united nations but quickly the united states has emerged as a force right so you have to wonder with so many cars at stake what does justify this role for the u.s. despite claims from the top of the humanitarian intervention people from the streets. to the pundits don't buy it the u.s. . sure is to keep from having any influence on the world peak oil expert michael rupert says the real reason for the bloodshed all boils down to the one point five million barrels of oil a day coming from libya which the west simply cannot afford to lose you can't take any supply out and not expect the price to go up dramatically for everybody on the planet but not everyone's taking a hit in the pocket conflict is good for some of the most powerful u.s.

corporations military contractors they have made literally super profits stick to for profits off of the wars and iraq and afghanistan so it won't be any different in terms of the war in libya but every news story isn't just wearing military equipment in in libya opens up markets for more american british and french arms sales in the world justifying perhaps for some who have benefited a war that adds to the tool other conflicts have taken on the u.s. economy and reputation in the world we will spend at least a half a trillion dollars right now in afghanistan and no libyan the money we're spending and for the encouraging of pakistan the united states has to start focusing on things here at home otherwise we're not only broke but we have the rest of the world angry at us a price some believe is too high for america to pay more and mr harty.

now as the situation in libya develops the american military machine is the only thing that stands to benefit from a conflict that's according to lou rockwell from research an educational center a lot of resistance to. they want to divide and conquer just like the romans so they b.s. this is this is not by the way not a no fly zone it's also a no drive zone or no walk so they're probably a mediately they didn't keep them as bad as it would be to intervene to keep airplanes from flying immediately or attacking people on the ground. or. killing a lot a lot of a lot of people don't have blood pooling. we don't know whose blood it is but i believe it's a good thing they're out of work this is not a good thing that we have another war going on and i must say from the standpoint of an american concern with the fact that our government is broke that the dollar is going down the drain that the government is putting the whole country on the

most horrific financial circumstances where they're starting yet another war to spend who knows how many billions of dollars makes the military industrial complex right now let's say among us taxpayers we don't like it so these rebels are being led by former officials of a look at off the regime these are not a bunch of libertarians so i think yes there's as they struggle for power and as one group will want the us helping them be will be regional players whether it's the people within egypt or sudan or some of the other countries in the area that may not want another u.s. occupation right in their backyard so yeah i think there could be much more of an open civil war. well you've got the story from all angles you can find more our team coverage on the libyan crisis all gnawing the mostly blog at our you got to find out what it's like to great gobs of aircraft fly around just outside your window. also gods or you tube channel to see all the latest footage including

images of the u.n. operation in libya and the nuclear energy emergency in japan that and much more at you tube dot com slash our. japan has resumed its efforts to solve the atomic crisis at the fukushima nuclear plant following emissions of smoke workers at the facility are trying to restore electricity and cool down the troubled reactors. is following events there. engineers have been able to resume their efforts to connect power to older reactors and to focus she when you play a power plant yesterday these efforts had to be stopped after smoke started billowing out of two of the reactors as soon as the power is reconnected several

more steps will have to be taken but eventually the engineers are hoping that the water cooling systems will be able to be reactivated otherwise the focus has shifted onto the impact of the radiation which has already been released the thirty's are saying that in some of the areas around the plant the radiation levels are one thousand six hundred times higher than the should be normally villagers in nearby settlements have been told not to drink the water because it contains possible radioactive elements and so they are being given bottled water there's also suspicion that some of the marine life around the plant on the coast has been a poisoned as well and that may play some sort of rest in fisheries we also had scares over the weekend and afterwards that i would cultural projects from that area may be contaminated as well now the thirty's are saying that the levels are safe but of course there's still a level of amongst the japanese people and even people further abroad as to the possible risks of radiation of course there are still the impact of the earthquake and the tsunami which is recent be struck japan police are saying that nine

thousand people have been confirmed as dead more than twelve thousand is missing three hundred thousand or more than that remain homeless and of course the number of the confirmed dead is likely to grow over the next few weeks. the nuclear crisis in japan has evolved fears that yet another atomic task you could devastate the country the only nation to ever feel the force of a nuclear weapon japan still remembers the horror of the event sixty five years on parties other bennett reports now from. lisa a man who's been on the scars of a nuclear disaster for most of his life as a resident of nagasaki you're sure you're more wacky has had liver and kidney problems since he was thirty five and he's already beaten cancer twice you sure you watch these events unfold at fukushima fearing the true nature of the disaster is yet to show itself sunday was i not a result of the contamination will just end of the event could be handed down from

generation to generation if i have four daughters the first to have leukemia another has breast cancer the results of the disaster will be shown in generations to come. you should know was just eleven when the bomb was dropped he survived the blast but was exposed to lethal levels of radiation on his two trips to the hypocenter first to find his father then to bury him despite everything he's pro nuclear power but still thinks fleeing from fukushima is the wife thing to do in common with your three i think we all must take all precautionary measures they can to avoid the worst. psyche the stands today had to be built from scratch eleven square kilometers were jews to dust the cloud of its tragic past still hangs over the city its residents though no bought it means to suffer and are willing to help

those in need. we have a council in the land of the something happens in our nation the call of the nation that's like your libraries that was over to our. very worried about what happened. throughout the world that. everywhere you turn in i guess saccade is no more real so the seventy five thousand. drop here this one wants that exact moment now the city will ever serve as a reminder of the destructive potential of nuclear power and those here are now. well remembered in the same way. he would escape any radiation from a meltdown and i think the reason you've gone through spying incident is residents living in fear. that we've never experienced such a devastating nuclear accident before and i think everyone is no afraid this could happen again because we believe it's not under control. and the sub.

will be taking a deeper look at what's happening at the fukushima nuclear plant with one of russia's leading atomic scientists you can watch the full interview in about fifteen minutes but here's a preview. you mean. certainly not a country litter reporter every day by day changing every detail japan's atomic industry for it's been providing a rather detailed table of each block. it's hard to judge its truth was not because there was not a big brother because they may not know it all background radiation at the site limits the word personal going to take root. in other news belgium has set a new record as the country has now been without a government for almost a year country is divided between dutch speakers in the north and french speakers in the south triggering concerns of a split a compromise reached our tuesday is in brussels. the fridge
