and there has been in force across the libyan coast following five days of air strikes against moammar gadhafi is forces doing commanders insist all the targets were hits precisely this white reports of dozens of civilian casualties. several weeks after the unrest in egypt ended president rivera's control activists and fought for the revolution they they've been manipulated to allow his allies to stage for. protesters in the u.s. demand better treatment from a man accused of leaking military data and with leaks supporters say rather than

running from mabel the traitor and is being held in degrading conditions. russian officials say they need to take steps to curb inflation i'm not treasure was more in the business update. area watching r.t. broadcasting live from moscow on character. all right forces have conducted air strikes against troops and also the libyan leader moammar gadhafi in the country's west and since it was around its tax have reportedly broken the five day assaults by pro-government forces on the rebel stronghold in the west chief of staff the mission in libya says the no fly zone has now been enforced across the entire libyan coast it seems put us there doesn't exist we say night is the fifth night of coalition air strikes over. a short time ago it was an explosion some fifty two

kilometers to the east of the capital city tripoli at a military barracks but other than that the market so far has been choir's on the ground the libyan government continues to insist that it is in forcing a ceasefire but wednesday we continue to hear reports of heavy clashes between both sides in three cities on wednesday and alone more than sixteen people were killed in the city of misrata by gadhafi snipers in the city of intent six people were killed and in the city of intensive fighting between both sides continues as you can well imagine the mood on the ground is incredibly tense people here are very very anxious and within this climate we've had been asking the government if they can allow us to go and see the reports of civilians that have been killed if we can go in independently verify this we participated on wednesday on a government sponsored media tour this is the only way as journalists we can work in tripoli and that is because every few hundred meters there are robots and if you

don't have a government person with you you have no way of casing through those low clouds you run the risk of being detained arrest and possibly even worse so we were on one of these governments wanted to was we were being told that we were taken to see the family of a civilian who had been injured and in fact was made to families but the story as it transpired was that it was a fifty two old man who was an arabic literature teacher and according to his family he had volunteered to join that gadhafi is on me now those first strikes last saturday by the french planes he was the one of the first casualties to be killed in those planes and this is what his family had to say that we have no choices only. we have no other reason to leave their. children we will not give up. everywhere in almost spontaneous demonstrations it's as if people see journalists and they want to be a message across but that message is always the same and that is that libyans support. not only is he a leader but he's also

a father and many people coming up to say tell the truth make sure the international community understands just how much support he has here and also need he wants those kind of messages to get out there like you should i'm sure they clearly stated that we are not the soldiers they don't kill shows that won't. run them their child should. be killing a lot of the most of them the american. on the other side of the story you have the coalition leaders the political leaders as well as the army commanders who are also disparate to get across their version of events and they take on the story is that not only is this operation legal it's been extremely successful that all the targets that have been hit have been precise as journalists we are caught in the middle of the story it very often becomes confusing and one man's not to trust either side that at the beginning of march almost preempting what would unfold they

was a joke that was caught on camera between the u.s. defense secretary robert gates as well as the top american commander in afghanistan general david petraeus now they didn't realize that they were being recorded that gates had arrived in kabul to which he had been welcomed back with fear some patris had remarked that he was flying in a larger plane than normal and he asked whether or not this was because he intended on firing shells and attacking libya gates his reply was yes exactly it seems as if in every joke there is an element of truth and our job as journalists and as viewers is trying to cover their three points here r.t. tripoli. the very latest for us there on the situation and remember you can always go to our twitter feed her latest post paula says there are energy shortages in the victory of the capital security forces stopping journalists from. forming at gas stations. underscore

that in the thing as a danger to their interests in a world that's according to. experts in international relations and more of his views the next out there to his a quick. it was an acceptable to lead such a unpredictable leader not friendly to the west and there was a sort of feeling of green to what he has done with the western states and there were many considerations become more friendly with regime in libya along with the seashore along with tunisia and egypt he was presenting some alternative to the global paradigm of systems put them in the liberal western type of society and the regimes because some of this alternative was done through mental with the interests of the promotion of this liberal democracy and rule.

of staying in the region and overwhelming majority of egyptians have approved changes to the country's constitution when the main aims of the uprising just over a month since the victory of any objections and they still have what they want for now it seems it was kind of a story. several weeks have passed since the revolt but it seems the wheels of the old political machine are still turning we start now oh oh if the usual good addition didn't finish here we need change there we need you'll be able. to govern ourselves. now can do that and would be mean about c.c.'s you used to be an anchor on egypt's national state run radio she claims even though president mubarak has already stepped down the media is still being manipulated the main command is to. be around all those who are proud of having value. that i would take this up at the

feet and make. a financial correction protection that people are. in late january several hundred thousand people took to the streets of cairo demanding president mubarak steps down after several weeks of violence the president these are right according to the united nations around three hundred people lost their lives during the unrest thousands of others were injured by that since then the interim government has held a nationwide referendum set parliamentary elections to be held before the end of the year but many activists say it's too soon for the newly emerged political movements to gain enough momentum before the vote elections coming very soon nobody is prepared. and for a lot of the leftists and the lokpal bill the political opposition there thinking that maybe this will be staged as a way to be in power the n.d.p. alongside the president for the last three decades the national democratic party

was the ruling authority in the country and many fear with state media still under its control it may gain enough force to come back to power. even though the phrases of the recent violence are so obvious a life on the. the street seems to be returning to normal here on the square most of the reopened and heavy traffic has returned but the political situation in the country is still far from healthy sure thousands mobilized to get rid of the authorities but whether it be in muling emerge political powers will be able to get their act together in time for the election and what direction it will be take this country and it's still a big question even to the revolutionaries themselves. or to cairo. and the turmoil in egypt is echoing across borders as we find out a few minutes ripple sent body of the rest of the thread into the waves of immigration europe threatening the quantities of greece.

bradley manning the u.s. army soldier arrested for allegedly passing classified information to the web site wiki leaks is accused of putting the national security at risk everyone agrees with the president's support for him is growing as activists argue that the conditions of his imprisonment in me telling. the story. here in quantico hundreds of activists and veterans have gathered outside of the military base for bradley manning is being held in solitary confinement twenty three hours a day they say he's being tortured to call for his immediate release although president obama says otherwise i have actually asked the pentagon whether. the procedures that have been taken in terms of his confinement or appropriate and are meeting our basic standards they assure me that they are state department spokesman

p.j. crowley called manning's treatment quote ridiculous counterproductive and stupid and was forced to resign. while manning's father denounced the pentagon for stripping his son of his clothing and forcing him to stand at attention naked i mean it's shocking enough that i would come out of our silence as a family and say you know this you know you crossed the line this is wrong protesters here denounced obama and say guantanamo bay has been brought to virginia they say the president can do better than simply trusting manning's jailers i've been saying broadly and confinement and i can tell you how these documents well like it's really going to get harder. as you probably think of the kind of whistleblower daniel ellsberg responsible for leaking the vietnam war logs known as the pentagon papers called manning a hero someone whose example you've heard for other people and the more that other

people realize that the descriptions which you're bound to get as a. traitor. to the american troops. appreciate everybody that we recall having been there before being arrested it with thirty five others for refusing to move from the entrance to quantico. would not i. everyone in his speech town felt bradley had done the right thing knowing. that this man who the people are protesting to are my husband's like a lady my husband's friends lives in danger. it's frustrating and denied that he was being tortured we were tortured to do it to give him stale bread i mean complete it's not he's not being tortured even as amnesty international and other human rights groups say his conditions are quote degrading and bring back memories of graeme the pentagon has not set
