video. emissions from. nato and saps demand out the no fly zone over libya but not the full control of the military operation as our correspondent tells us airstrikes are continuing to drop the capital tripoli. and the conflict in libya is playing out with back rows of the u.s. led campaign and you can strong via twelve years ago a war which claimed two thousand civilian lives. plus angry protests in brussels as e.u. leaders meet to discuss new spending cuts while doing this last billions on military campaigns abroad. and the all to good situation assets will deal between oil majors rolls and b.p.

has been blocked by stockholm's arbitration tribunals by got more than twenty minutes time. it's eleven am in moscow this is our team on the snow way thanks for being with us first up nato has agreed to take command of the libyan no fly zone but stop sort of accepting full military control ryan see founders func around since and said the u.s. will hand over operational responsibility to nato within days meanwhile fresh air strikes are being reported in the libyan capital tripoli i spoke to our correspondents in the region pulse lyrics and you can all for the latest. there were loud explosions exchanged on the east and west of the capital city we know that the government has military air fields and military bases there so we suspect that this was the target as these strikes almost simultaneously happen with rounds

of anti aircraft gunfire now today of course is friday night security uncritically intense in the downtown part of the city but what we're being told is massive demonstrations being planned after those periods we are also seeing reports and indeed i have noticed a mass up of over the past few days that several of the picture stations here are running low on fuel and we now are hearing that the city could almost whined to a halt within the next few days now as you mentioned the nato announcement was happening while those strikes were taking place over the capital city elations word from major that they have agreed to enforce a no fly zone never agreed to actually take command of that within the coming days we've been told by sunday night we're hearing from the nato secretary general that they still needs to be discussion over whether or not nato will extend its control of her mind to be an entire operation and that is of course because of objections and concerns are being raised by countries like turkey

a major sticking point really is the whole effect that it's having on the ground such as the is strides on libyan ground forces it will need to wait if it's a few days to see exactly how coalition agreement hands out but second with your group is going after years on the libyan and did some border porous they're going to tell us what's happening where you are people are fleeing the country we saw scores of refugees coming out of libya and according to the united nations over three hundred thousand people have already brought forward the ground who thought that nearly ten thousand refugees are purely. years of borders with egypt and tunisia and dozens of war or a threat to join them so it's kind of gives a picture on the humanitarian situation. in the great she spoke with one family the war from the villages where the situation the terrible the said it was absolutely impossible for them to have any more so they decided to wait it out in egypt see

what's happening and maybe come back if things. all. of the gaddafi supporters who are acting undercover inside been the war captured by the opposition so in that sense there's still activity going on in the bin guys itself just on thursday the united nations and met to discuss the humanitarian situation in the country strongly. what's happening there and actually judging by these figures over three hundred thousand people already. it's a real humanitarian crisis. for the mean war or the military operation to reinforce the no fly zone which was. ordinary libyans that the still has not been achieved. to you now in tripoli the libyan government is reporting civilian casualties as a result of this military mission that the coalition is denying that it's any kind

of evidence that airstrikes have in fact killed or injured civilians. but we don't have overwhelming evidence that civilians have been trying to meet in strikes have been some stated vision is reporting almost nonstop the number of innocent bystanders which is where they would have been killed in its coalition airstrikes putting that figure at one hundred now one of the mass funeral for some fifty six people a conference were laid out that was a crowd of about five hundred people very very angry each they were shouting slogans at a cozy and environment and the international community to stay out. of course we have no way of determining exactly who was inside and and the government spokesperson here in tripoli even went so far stigma change some of the people. and we're actually soldiers and not civilians because sage ricocheted was addressing their funeral position. all libyans are soldiers of this country so big so question

in terms of how they view civilians versus soldiers i think it's also worth noting though some of the journalists yesterday were taken to a hospital where they were shown charred bodies and being told that these were civilians and again it is the same problem actually being able to determine who exactly are these bodies that we have been presented with and how exactly they were the government even know what we're hearing according to most has been brought in from fighting and. it's evidence of that the main problem at the moment with the fighting which seems to have now been steamed. which is not too far from the rebel stronghold of benghazi as each is at the rebel forces up i'm able to advance forward and we've been told that the rebels have surrounded the town and never heard of any engine he got his forces will run out of supplies and it will be the only way that they can move forward but he does admit it's two questions and no exact number when the fighting on the ground is in areas so the risk of civilians dream children are so high and number two we don't see any weakening. either

politically or militarily. parties correspondents part of your own your group is a canard are keeping you up to date arms which from the ground in libya the are. one of part of this latest postdocs white house is having trouble sleeping i walk up throughout the night to loud explosions and anti-aircraft gunfire to stay with our breaking news coming from paul was there any of corpuscles of armor ground in libya r t under a score card. from the trans research institute says nato is just a cover for the u.s. and the libyan missin as there are been a control of the country's oil. when people get killed or there is strikes in afghanistan they kill innocent people they always use the term nato it's mostly the us and yes the prime minister of turkey is one hundred percent correct again the

hypocrisy is before our very own eyes it's so all this is is the united states doing what it's become accustomed to do and that is attack any country it wants to have any tied to any reason that they could make up and the new reason that they made up is perfectly orwellian a humanitarian crisis so you kill people to solve the humanitarian crisis and you take dictators out that you don't like because really what's behind this and i've said it before would united states be in iraq if their major export was broccoli or would they be in libya. if they weren't holding on to those sweetest of sweet crude oil on the planet. several un members including russia have expressed their concern over the risk to civilians in libya as nato forces continue their own bargains. circling the reports the events in libya echo nato bombings in the

balkans twelve years ago. in march seasons change sunshine invites americans onto the streets american politicians invite themselves to foreign countries. march one thousand nine hundred nine the u.s. and its nato allies bomb yugoslavia our own forces joined our nato allies and air strikes against serbian forces responsible for the brutality in kosovo march two thousand and eleven america's next democratic president and a new coalition of the willing attack libya the u.n. security council passed a strong resolution that demands an end to the violence against. that authorizes the use of force here it was sanctioned by the un security council in contrast to the bombings of the slavia there was no such greenlights in one thousand nine hundred ninety one means were led by needle the first time the military alliance atop the sovereign nation a non nato member causing no threat to the group similarly libya poses no external

threats and there are other striking parallels between the conduct of these wars the enemy then slaughtered on the loss of each job to new hitler the enemy of today the eccentric one marker duffy and power for over forty years now similarly villainize to by the us colonel gadhafi beasts step down from power and leave the goal now and back then getting rid of a leader no longer favored by the west taking sides with a questionable opposition in what started as a civil war what we're seeing is a four flush war including attempting to kill the head of state of the targeted country and other leaders of the government that again was you know a page from the yugoslav book of twelve years ago. what is the world learned evidently not much the official reason for western involvement a so-called humanitarian mission a term coined in the bombings of nine hundred ninety nine if you're willing to have

you say look at all that because i believe this is going to say that people. say gee that was. going to be a rationale still relied upon but widely questioned you know the closer the rescue of civilians with all of this is it's very bosses it is. ridiculous to see if. this is a real here's a serious the engine of that machine both get in now a no fly zone fueled in libya by the additional all necessary measures where the line between the enemy in a foreign land and its civilians often gets blurred it did. in yugoslavia with thousands of people killed and close to one million displaced after the war when they did a count they found the u.s. nato bombs had destroyed fourteen tanks and servia working tanks what they had also by four hundred and thirty seven schools

a similar scenario is now predicted in libya obama vows the anti could offer you war will last days not weeks that was the field plan in yugoslavia bombings lasted two and a half months they think that a quick bit of bombing will sort the matter out but in fact i think they will find that it will last far longer than they have gambled for twelve years on serbia still remembers the losses inflicted by u.s. and nato bombings the u.s. is now involved in its fourth attack of a foreign nation in these same twelve years and this is going to. new york. and later this hour to the libyan conflict and cross soccer to great over concerns that doesn't involve them couldn't come a case of history. u.s. british foreign policy objectives would be the removal of gadhafi regime u.n. security council resolution one hundred seventy three fall short of that clearly

but it does have the mandate in the open ended mandate to protect civilians and so that's what much of this comes down to and that's what opens the door for this debate about the end state and all the controversy flowing from that but frankly i think if we look at previous no fly zones that could be in effect if. any of those near chiefs compared to the little flies in iraq did have better achievements but look at the length of time that these operations went on for. a new threat to the bureau oversight of libya and other issues that need summit in brussels a possible international bow for portugal dominated talks on nearby police use water down in to disperse crowds protesting against austerity cuts are says daniel bushell has more on the latest blow to. no more layoffs no to pay cuts no to late retirement the message from twenty thousand

angry demonstrators pushed back with water cannons and pepper spray by riot police the protesters tried to get through to e.u. leaders meeting in brussels to slash spending this money was made. to be used for such a curious thing was made to be used for. the bank so when you heard. that walters moved to take brand because of the prisoners there goes across europe voters are saying no more spirits in measures portugal's prime minister has quit after parliament voted down a fresh round of cuts because he has three months left to repay almost ten billion euro at a time when its sovereign credit rating has been cut and listen. is national default to tell lenders the country called pay back its loans or accept an e.u. bailout similar to greece and ireland has now been no arrests in the second world war but the longer you postpone this necessary evil. the more costly.

it is going to be at the same time military intervention in libya is costing hundreds of millions of euro many a furious of what they see as an unnecessary and expensive campaign somebody asked . about the financing of this and i think the overwhelming sense. among the public and skepticism with millions unemployed across europe people losing patience with politicians who seem out of touch with reality increasingly familiar sights on the streets of the e.u. was government built tightly leaves growing numbers out of work the big question is now the right time to spend the money available on wars abroad. but you can sure see grocers. still to come in the program a hero abroad. home. anything that anyone could possibly

imagine turned over the war crimes that were committed for a little history of the american forces above those mean to you as iraq veteran burn the bridges back to his home country after witnessing what he calls out for us a little more. but first japan says the core of reactions three at the fukushima nuclear power plant may have been damaged the development could lead to further radiation leaks meanwhile authorities are expanding a voluntary evacuation zone to a thirty kilometer radius near the site. the latest from japan. the government the same that even those people outside the plant outside the immediate area. are receiving up to a yearly those radiation in one day further afield to go into showing people that the water say here in tokyo is safe to drink but people are still not believing this message all the bottled water has been bought out of the shelves and japan is

now saying that it might have to import some just to compensate for the shortage in the last two days it's been a problem to which less media attention has been played but in terms of pure devastation of course the earthquake hundred salami has wreak more havoc the latest death figures show that more than ten thousand people have died as a result of that i mean more than seventeen thousand are still missing japan still hasn't coped with the consequences particularly at fukushima the nuclear engineers who got into the reactor reactor number three perhaps the most dangerous one because it operates on. there was no water that they thought the situation was ok yesterday they went in again those water that they thought. was showing a high radiation level they ignored it they thought the problem was with their equipment but actually the radiation level in the plant exceeded the norm by ten thousand times they were right they did with poisoned water but had to be taken to hospital after nearly losing the limit which they're supposed to be exposed to. and

another natural disaster hits further west on the continent and six point eight magnitude earthquake has left over fifty dead the quake struck around lunchtime on thursday and was centered close to the border with thailand over one hundred buildings were destroyed and roads have been closed in thailand the tremors caused residents to flee their apartments and one woman died when a brick wall collapsed on. protesters in syria to hold a day of dignity on friday to expand demonstrations across the country. by president bashar al assad. pledging to grant people greater political freedoms and raise public pay meanwhile in the southern city of thousands of people continue to rally against the forty eight year rule of the ba'ath party activists claim that dozens have been shot dead many arrested in the security forces clamp down over the last few days. a wildfire in colorado has engulfed sixteen hundred

he deserted the u.s. army causing all the way to his native cleveland for rapport his mom cried with pride when he volunteered for the army and after a six month tour of duty in iraq andrei walked off a u.s. base in germany and never returned or anything that anyone could possibly imagine and terms of war crimes that were committed for all of history the american forces have done this and are continuing to do this on a daily basis so they were being attacked from somewhere but they didn't know where so they just shot off right in the wing a different direction after hiding out for more than a year andre shepherd surfaced in marriage to german security himself supports from a number of human rights organizations and is now officially seeking asylum tucked away on the border of germany and austria lake he was a has long been popular with holiday makers but now the idea exports may also go

down in history as the home of the first u.s. the iraq war veteran granted political asylum to become this first is not going to be easy though germany is the main staging post for the u.s. military with around sixty thousand u.s. troops stationed there each year some of those soldiers go a while and get beat up by the police the pressure is very high on germany and i'm very often said in his speeches he's so sorry about that you know to putting so much pressure on the german government also we really love this country so much country will argue in court the war in iraq was a complete fraud but the lawyers say he has little chance of winning these he legal war with the u.s. it's particularly. more difficult if it is a war such as the. war in afghanistan for example the rocky war where it was not

a popular war and if we just started having two rows of soldiers deciding on their own a pair were no longer going to become a member of the united states military apparatus we have a problem and so will a very harsh penalty to life including the possibility of their. mainstream media in the so-called coalition countries are not in a hurry to get andre is saying he that the major corporations like to be the c.d.c. and then what happened is that if i say anything that was controversial it would go against the government line it would be completely censored andras says he's ready for the battle of his life claiming there was no just occasion for the war in iraq which he had meets he's on a c three slope extended show our teeth but now i'm keen germany. lets me through will be here in a few moments with the latest news from

a broken foot. washing business out so you're going to have your company the arctic exploration an asset swap deal between oil majors b.p. and rose now it has been blocked by a stockholm arbitration tribunals the case was brought by the russian shareholders of ten k. b.p. and the existing pot as of the british royal company in russia is top box and brings us the latest. this swedish arbitration court ruled against b.p. saying that states intend to deal with loss nafta was in breach of an earlier agreement made when t n k b p was for that detail that deal is now on hold

and stan followed yes who is the chief executive of a r which represents the russian shareholders in t.n. k b p said he was happy with the court's decision for a tribunal was very clear. b.p. was in breach for richer older agreement. it cannot. completely. through all of the. actual. relationship between b.p. and they are in the management of. b.p. has also asked the another decision from the court they've asked the court to say whether they could perhaps drop the part of the deal with ross naf that was royal exploration will continue with a sixteen billion dollars share swap that will be decided later whatever b.p. does it has to arrange something by april the fourteenth if it doesn't the deal in its current form will expire it certainly is very disappointing but b.p.

back in january when this deal was announced b.p. was very happy with it they said it was a historic deal and that it could open up that last great unexplored reserve of oil and gas the arctic and now it seems that it is a setback but between will definitely be trying to arrange a compromise central to that compromise is t n k b p and the russian shareholders there whether they will be brought into a rawson s.b.p. deal or perhaps given some kind of conversation is yet to be seen i was tom bottom reporting chris we've heard chief strategist also believes the exploration deal between b.p. and was there is too important to be left. i think it's dangerous far too important for russia this is a strategic deal for the russian state involving the country's biggest company and one of the world's biggest oil majors in the arctic servicepeople must go ahead it's to abort so i think what happens now basically is that we get into

a more serious face negotiations involving all the parties. to reaching a deal i would expect the states to consider a role in the discussions as well because they really need to reach an impasse clearly. point of view they did not want this to go ahead to. exclude it because they could risk just being sidelined in the old industry and not getting access to any future growth so whatever good is now done and i do believe a deal will be done he will have to either involve our shareholders or provide them with some other compensation for first for the deal. sigrid of the markets now we start with the usual asian stocks showing moderate gains this a private session one percent and saying are twelve point eight percent that's a good boy should have graded its rating for sony corp to buy itself three point
