take steps to curb inflation by mudflows all that and more coming your way from business starts. well news around the clock you're watching r t well straight to our top story now fresh explosions and gunfire have been heard in the libyan capital tripoli reports saying coalition forces are targeting major military facilities across the country and our forces have also conducted air strikes against troops in the world market cafe and country western city of misrata where one of this let's cross and i've got some of course tripped me up paula what can you tell us about this latest series of strikes on the current balance of power and. what are you noticing more and more is that the mainstream for this operation. in libya it remains in the balance it's

literally hanging in the balance because on the international front we're seeing that coalition forces are now it's not green in terms of how to move forward here on the ground the rebel groups themselves are divided in terms of how they want to move forward and even now here in the capital city of tripoli which is traditionally the stronghold of moammar gadhafi we are hearing from him in every reports of some of his former supporters starting to meet in secret now from the coalition is trying to some from the coalition community we know that for six days these airstrikes have been happening overnight and into the early hours of this morning we are being told that they hit military bases around the country but a different story emerging as it always does from the capital city here we've been told that a number of civilians have been killed and injured one of the towns that the coalition hit according to them was the town of misrata and they insisting that they've managed to stem the government force advancement there but we are hearing conflicting reports some of those reports suggesting that for days now the town has been unable to have access to water fuel and electricity that gadhafi soldiers are

literally going from house to house that they've hit the local hospital here in tripoli in me early hours of this morning and for several hours off the words they were loud explosions there was also anti aircraft gunfire exploding in the sky so tripoli again coming under intense a fire overnight now the coalition has insisted that the airstrikes have been successful if there's a gadhafi is a capability has been completely wiped out he is denying this he says that he has a capability to continue for some time to come the rebels themselves are now starting to find themselves in an incredibly difficult position they are calling on the international community for some kind of freak him to strike as they try to advance forward the stalemate on the ground is that the rebels do not have the weaponry they do not have the rank and command structure they simply do not have the experience to take on gadhafi soldiers but those soldiers in turn to not have the numbers so you have this situation on the ground where neither group is able.

they actually move forward and advance but who are washington is keen to hand over control of the village gratian in their view that the nato members seem to be split over who should take the lead reading between the lines were going on here. well maybe not for three straight days nato leaders have been meeting to try and decide who can actually move forward we can take control of this operation over libya today they said to me for a fourth day and they seems to be no three mentioned side turkey is one of those countries that is most critical the sticking point is essentially the killing of civilians and taking insisting that they can be no civilians killed in such an operation but of course the other european powers are saying that they needs to be and inevitably they will be some kind of collateral damage that of course they try not to injure civilians the civilians will always get caught in the crossfire would be a bomb to administration is incorporated place because for days now we've heard the american president insists that america's handing over control of this operation to

nato countries and he keeps saying that this is going to happen soon but certainly in terms of the cracks missing on the international front it doesn't seem as if it's going to happen any time soon so the question really at the heart of this debate is whether or not these airstrikes can continue who will take control over them as well just how much longer they can carry on. ok. thank you for that. for us there of course reporting from the country's capital tripoli keeping across to get it once in the year for you log on to our website r.t. dot com where you can find more liberal ventus updates and transfer experiences often called. we spoke and twitter feeds your situation unfolding in libya.

nato members are split over the future often the true perpetrator in that and so says michael hoffman author and political. but there seems to be quite a rivalry between david cameron and nicolas sarkozy and then turkey is also descending because the turks have already said that all they want is a no fly zone nothing more than that the germans are now stating that they are removing their navy from nato control this seems like an appears to be another type of imperialism it has to be seen that way in the arab world but it can't be about protecting people i reject that rationale because where are the people being protected in bahrain where is the no fly zone in gaza there are all kinds of areas

in the world where the united states nato the u.n. the arab league could intervene and they are not. western powers have always seen there would be and they did with one thing as a danger to their interests in the arab world that's according to the. expected international relations. they started to has a quick taste of. it was an acceptable to lead such a unpredictable leader not friendly to the west and there was a sort of feeling over the bridge to what he has done with the western states but there were preventive considerations to cope with regime in libya along with on this sea shore along with the need egypt he was presenting some alternative to the global paradigm of systems but the main liberal western type of society and the regimes it or some or to people in this alternative was don't

remember. the promotion of this liberal democracy and their liberal. staying in the region an overwhelming majority of egyptians have approved changes to the country's constitution but made a means of the uprising just over a month since the victory some tensions over the sense that they don't get everything they fought for the table has the 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 ripping usual division didn't finish here we need change we need will be able. to govern ourselves. now can't do that and. minimize the c.f.a. 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 have me around all those who are corrupt including the hari and i would pick this up at that meeting and make. a financial pressure and very professional thing that people are asking for in late january several hundred thousand people took to the streets of cairo demanding president mubarak stepped down after several weeks of violence the president. according to the united nations around three hundred people lost their lives during rest thousands of others were injured. 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 they will be elections coming very soon

nobody is speaking here. and for a lot of the leftists and look for help the political activist 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 meath yearwood state media still under its control it may gain enough force to come back to power. even though the traces of the recent violence are so obvious and life on the. streets seems to be returning to normal here on where most of. 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 the in newly emerging powers will be able to get their act together in time for the election and what direction it will be to this country and it's still a big question even to the revolutionaries themselves you've got this going on r.t.

cairo. and the time all you need to get is echoing across borders as we find out in a few minutes ripples about the risk set to into place of immigration do you think the. police. the u.s. army soldier arrested for allegedly passing classified information to the whistleblower website wiki leaks stands accused of putting national security at risk but not everyone agrees with the treatment on bradley manning calling for back his supporters who argue that the conditions of his detention into maine. right here in quantico hundreds of activists and veterans have gathered outside of the military base where 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 or not.

the procedures that have been taken from his confinement are appropriate and are meeting our basic standards they assured me but they are state department spokesman p.j. crowley called manning's treatment quote ridiculous counterproductive and stupid and was forced to resign. well meaning spotter 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 a 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 single i've been in confinement and i can tell you probably is not to me well if i could see really getting

a total of all the people i mean if i'm a whistleblower daniel ellsberg responsible for leaking the vietnam war logs known as the pentagon papers called manning a hero i want his example to give courage for other people and the more that other people realize that the descriptions which are bond together is a reasonable way of being a traitor. and you know the truth. appreciated by everybody that we recall having done the right thing before being arrested it with thirty five others for refusing to move from the entrance to quantico. but not. everyone in this peace town felt bradley had done the right thing knowing . that this man who these people are protesting clewer put my husband's life my husband's friends lives in danger it's. frustrating and denied that he was being tortured the worst torture they can do is to give. 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. the pentagon has not set a trial date for manning who faces twenty two charges including aiding the enemy which could carry the death penalty but activists here and around the world say they won't back down until he's free in florida artsy triangle virginia. three workers have been exposed to home for radioactive elements while working at the fukushima nuclear power plant in japan two of them have been hospitalized ports of a rise in temperature of smoke rising from some teams travel. engineers are tending to restore the cooling system of the facility by the devastating earthquake but was stalled on wednesday after emerge from. the combination fears of tokyo after radiation was detected in cities tap water. around the
