a radio on to pull out of its crippled nuclear power plant. the disaster in japan could reduce global call production by thirty percent that's according to the latest aside from consulting auto makers in other countries can soak up from a lot of the cost produced in japan during business not too short for long and. a very warm welcome to you this is a line from moscow now there are conflicting reports about just how far west rebels have advance towards the libyan capital tripoli the opposition claims it controls give up its hometown but reporters say the city is still in government hands meanwhile libyan state t.v. claims more civilians were killed overnight in coalition strikes in the south of

the country. is in tripoli with more. the latest we're hearing from him who is the government spokesperson here is that three young men were killed in a fishing harbor not far from the city of sirte that last night this sunday came under airstrikes he says that these are clearly civilian casualties we're also hearing from him that some twenty nine people were injured in the town of bin jawad these are members of a piece. on till tomorrow choose day when there will be a summit that is held in london now we've heard from the nato secretary general that at that summit they will take full control of the military operations here but they almost stressing and this is the nature that they will continue to stick to the book in turn it'll be interesting. in three nothing more nothing less the unity of command we are being told that nato will make the operations here on the ground more efficient now the u.s. has said that the strategy moving forward which will mean that they will take

control leaves america in the position of providing some kind of backup and we understand that that backup will be in the form of. jamming communication the u.s. also saying that they are not looking at aiding the rebels as they advance westward but this of course has been lost here in tripoli because the criticism by the government is that the international community very much now is bringing the country to the brink of civil war it's actually hoping the rebel fighters advance further than they ever were in the early hours of this morning monday we were hearing from that actually taken over the city of sirte as you can imagine people here in tripoli were absolutely shocked and even surprised by this because sirte is the hometown of the libyan leader moammar gadhafi it's where the majority of the people belong to his tribe it's where he has his most support reports coming through the rebel fighters have made little to no resistance there but now what we're hearing is that they stopped about thirty kilometers away from the city and

these kind of reports do seem at all. we know that the entrances and the roads into search have. we know that part of the reason why the rebel fighters were able to advance so quickly. is because gadhafi soldiers were treating and we understood that they were treating. we're massing themselves and preparing. it is important to mention that while some of the focus is on so there is a lot. happening in the towns of misrata and in the western part of this country where we've heard. just in the last twenty four hours nine people were killed and twenty six people wounded we're hearing some reports that the soldiers are firing from tanks on residential areas and we hearing from the rebels that. the united arab emirates we haven't been able to independently verify

this but it's the stage that could carry on for much longer when nato was questioned in terms of taking over the leadership how much longer this fall operation could last one of the most telling on while they preparing for a three month no fly zone operation could last for weeks possibly months and as you can imagine people on the ground afraid of could lost people a very frightened in the capital city i was speaking to this morning and they use the word bloodbath the same saying that if the rebel fighters reach tripoli there will be a bloodbath. the situation is dire. days now people have been running out of fuel if you drive any of the gas stations here you'll see cars waiting in line as there has been for days now simply waiting. we've also heard reports that the city is now on scene medical supplies and those reports have been backed up by government claims that in the last few days there hasn't been one. because nato has this

embargoed navy they said that before this crisis there was some five to seven ships coming here every day they're talking about ships with medical supplies with fuel. with food but of course the coalition saying that. bringing reinforcements to the soldiers on the ground. well the russian foreign minister says the international coalition is acting out fully the limits of the un resolution in libya said again after all for speaking at a news conference in moscow that's given his details now from last his testes else that's the what exactly all russia's objections to what's happening in libya. well from the very start russia has been a reluctant participant in the what is going on in libya at the moment what worries the foreign minister right now in his statement he says that it appears that coalition forces are taking sides in of his worries commandeered a nato statement saying that they will stick to the books to do what is stipulated there no more no less well let's look at the u.n.

resolution it says there that it authorizes all necessary measures to protect civilians will their words all necessary measures could be open to interpretation but protecting civilians is definitely stated there as the goal and so what worries the a russian government is that it's going to be offensive is going beyond just protecting civilians that coalition forces taking sides are launching an offensive is clearly not stipulated well let's hear more from the foreign minister sergey lavrov. we should cool ition is taking part in a civil war in libya by targeting colonel gadhafi troops on the side of those rebels this was not sanctioned by using the solution which stated that the coalition is going to mean force a no fly zone and protect the civilian population should the recent concerns about young confirmed reports of civilian deaths caused by the u.s. strikes would like this information to the time for the u.n. has every means to carry this out and we are expecting this to happen as soon as possible should she do. so again it's so he's going back to what is

stipulated in the u.n. resolution and again when russia abstained from voting they clearly stated their position that they are against the use of force on civilians by the gadhafi regime however they did have a lot of questions with regard to the rules of engagement the limits of engagement and right now these are the questions that aren't. coming forward and again as the conflict on folds in libya we can see a lot of the countries especially those that had abstained to keep looking at the actions versus what is stipulated and had been agreed upon on paper writing test how many thanks. live from. or with the us be using at the military an economic backbone of nato experts say it will be hard for washington to play down its activity in libya author journalist afshin rattansi says the alliance has expanded role in the operation does not mean that the us is no longer in charge. and nato operation turkey is expressing

a lot of reservations as to whether it's gone too far i think we can bet that there are already and other forces on the ground and as for the nato. european compared to us in terms of this mission i think it's absurd the united states of course is still behind it even though robert gates and so on a lot of reservations about it there were five abstentions for u.n. resolution one hundred seventy three and one hundred the african union we just don't care about them because they unanimously didn't want this going on for the arab league a very very iffy support for this although for them it could be a win win as well you wouldn't see any or egyptian help for this nature were operational to all i think that that question needs to be answered by all these nato leaders why do you think it is here in egypt and involved because they see a great danger of western powers trying to get involved with the oil rich nation i'm sure that there are people on the ground in the coalition from western agencies

already planning the future and what the future government will be i fear it won't be the kind of democracy that we saw in the natural revolutions as it were in tunis here in egypt when i was. there. ok well the reasons given by coalition forces to justify their intervention in libya are coming under almost as much fire as good a few streams some query wine libya is being targeted in particular when there are several other violent uprisings in the arab world the new bushell reports of what else could be motivating western powers. coalition leaders claim they're just in forcing the no fly zone over libya but have been engaged in widespread and heavy attacks on colonel gadhafi as ground forces and buildings and targets linked to his regime so what's all the real motives for france the u.k. and u.s. leading the attack on libya some say it's pure vengeance but they're certainly

settling accounts and taking revenge turkey says it's disturbed by france's eagerness to invade but expose believe ankara shouldn't be surprised gadhafi is accused of ordering the bombing of u.t.a. flight seven seventy two which killed fifty four french men and women in one thousand nine hundred nine a u.k. court found the gadhafi agents the year before planned the bombing of pan am flight one hundred three over lockerbie which killed forty three british and one hundred eighty nine u.s. citizens he blew up his intelligence agency did a terrorist bomb very similar to the lockerbie bombing the u.k. was called u.t.a. flight seventy two and it blew up of an asia with the loss of everyone on board so i would argue that there's an element of revenge a very strong element of revenge now more recently gadhafi has hurt french commercial interests all just flow not that he find french towel have a billion dollars he also bought russian fighter planes instead of french or felt

it is useful but now coalition bombs are reported to be killing libyan civilians the pressure to read the west is resorting to heavy bombing and civilian casualties are concerned. that could increase regional hatred towards the west after. there will be quite. a resistance from of it. critics say the western led military alliance is simply taking one side in what's an internal civil war where rebel seat. to overthrow an internationally recognized government western forces should be prosecuted not just for civilian but also for killing libyan comiskey. on the why. people trying to do. so. when. you see.

the army as nato chiefs arrive to plan the next stage of the bombardment of libya there are growing calls for them to be held accountable for what they describe in war speak as collateral damage but which in real language means the death of innocent civilians the coalition no admits it's haunting gadhafi the original reason was only to impose a no fly zone the trouble is the more civilian deaths their causes the more they risk being accused of the same crimes as gadhafi himself. see brussels. allow extensive online coverage will help you keep up to date with developments in libya twenty four hours a day check out regular updates from our correspondents on the spot on our twitter stream and our facebook page you'll also find all the latest videos on our you tube channel.
