5:03 am
in these airstrikes because many of them have died on the sides of the roads and they've been just been buried there now the rebels are suggesting that if they cannot break through get up these defenses in so they won't work they wait around the city to the city of misrata misrata is the third largest city in this country it is the last and only stronghold in the waist and part of this country we still though continue to hear reports of intensive shelling of intensive fighting taking place they are not doctors there are warning of a humanitarian crisis not only because of the situation among libyans themselves but we're now being told that more than four thousand egypt shouldnt and other africans are housed in tents and that they are facing in painting starvation and also the risk of disease as a great king out in the last twenty four hour with eight people have died in this water moving twenty four have been injured a group of international journalists was taken there a few hours ago and although we were prevented from actually reaching this is the center for. the outskirts it's quite clear in terms of the destruction and
5:04 am
devastation there was broken glass from windows of buildings british holes in the walls of those buildings there were a number of burnt out civilian vehicles as well as burnt out tanks as a staple of distressing reports in tripoli is the ultimate goal of the rebels how the below calls feeling about our prospects. but certainly people here are encouraged by the latest reports that the rebels are actually being pushed backwards yesterday monday the city was in a state of fear the early reports actually suggested that the city of sirte had already been taken the city is essentially in a state of lockdown in addition to the impending fear that residents might make that the rebel fighters now make good on their promise to actually march on tripoli they are here growing shortages of fuel of water of food we've seen queues of people not only in the front of pitch will stations but also in front of bakeries supermarkets and other such schools it is understood that tripoli is not only
5:05 am
a strategic important city for the rebels but it has great symbolic value it certainly is something that is incentivizing the rebel fighters to march to which tripoli and because of that residents are rallying around either woman gadhafi and certainly they are increasingly alarmed by the reports that this frontline keeps getting pushed and that no longer a foreign policy heavyweights a gathering in love with ali to outline a political future for libya walk away expect from me saying. well this is a one day summit and it is basically going to have the goals of determining the aims and the strategic value in the strategic operation of the military operations here in libya what we do understand is that it will essentially streamline the military command as well as the political accountability attending this meeting are a number of heavy weights to do with a country of state hillary clinton the secretary general of the united nations bank you moon as well. as the chairman of the african union mr john king now one of the
5:06 am
questions that has not yet been made clear is whether or not the rebels in souls will be represented we were being told that they would be bush announces they won't be but whether they are aware that they're not it certainly is clear that the libyan government has not been invited in this is raising questions as to how can the international community debate and discuss the future of this country without actually involving the government who is in charge at the moment in terms of the rebels and solves this to not clarity in terms of exactly who they are what they want and what the future will hold for this country some people are even going as far to say that britain france and the u.k. knew and know what they are fighting against but you actually know who they are trying to what we are hearing reports ekadasi has actually seemed a little to those attending the summit he took seriously to about a barbaric offensives that are being carried out by the international community and he likens these airstrikes to the military actions taken by hitler during world war two the key question that needs to be answered at this summit is when will the
5:07 am
international community just to gauge from libya when how and in fact if they will do so and how. they are led many of our policy there reporting from the capital tripoli well meanwhile in the rebel stronghold of the opposition fighters have expressed their joy games on the front line with gunfire. going off has been gauging the mood in the second largest city to bring our reports. the entire city of being guys you can rebel stronghold in the in tiny east part of libya are monitoring the situation out there on the front and of course especially around sort of got these hometown but even though that the rebels have not been able to control over the city still the spirits are pretty high in fact the opposition does say that you understand it's not going to be easy to fight and defeat god not these
5:08 am
we've seen when they see that they're ready to to do whatever it takes in order to achieve that goal they were able to retake control of most of the towns that the people lost to go to these forces just a week ago everybody believes in. fact and every time there's something positive usually them some positive speculation i want you to be clear the gunshots being fired into the air as the sign up towards and the support off the revolution the whole time a goal is to get rid of all got out these regimes and to establish a new order in the country and the opposition says that this is going to be a democratic country in fact stressing that they do not want any third side of the killing to tell them what sort of base system will be here they want to say that is something to be a libyan people to be signed what to do with gaddafi and his family and what kind
5:09 am
of regime they want to hear in the country they do say that be all ready to listen to something advice coming from the west from germany france and great britain so far it seems like here in the east of the country the opposition is in full control and in fact the rebels are time organized. authority body here and they're now dividing responsibilities on one another when it comes to see years of life from the economy industry and police and law and etc so many are establishing more control here in this port and once again they're saying that it's only up to the libyan people to decide what to do with the entire country after gadhafi is gone. well we've got the latest from libya around the call home and online check out regular updates from our correspondents on the spots on our team which is stream and our facebook page and also fight all the latest videos on all you john.

major since the strikes on libya a bonus that the u.s. would like to remove any chance of a get down a victory about appears to confirm suspicions that washington has taken sides in a civil war something russian says is not sanctioned by the u.n. resolution and even when nato takes charge that doesn't mean american bombs will stop following all these guys i'm just a can reports here is what we heard from president obama he said the u.s. involvement in libya will be limited that the goal is to protect civilians and that
5:11 am
the u.s. is happy that need always taking command of all libyan operations take a listen this transfer from the united states to nato will take place on wednesday going forward. in enforcing the no fly zone and protecting civilians on the ground will transition to our allies and partners and i am fully confident that our coalition will keep the pressure on develop these remaining forces. you know there for the united states to play a supporting role it may seem that the u.s. is taking its hands arms rather off leader but many experts say in reality this formal transition does not make the u.s. any less involved in fact a pentagon official said friday that even as other nations begin taking a larger role in the international air assault mission in libya the pentagon was considering adding air force gunships and other attack aircraft and we've been made oswald the u.s. is the largest contributing the organization so handing over command to nato does
5:12 am
not mean quitting we also have to take into account that this speech comes amid growing frustration over what the due west strategy is the president is clearly on the defensive trying to win over a largely skeptical public poll showing the last four decades americans of disapproval of a military action has never been as high as it is now we believe the intervention the official reasoning which is we're there to protect civilians doesn't sit well with many because they ask why do we choose to put their civilians in libya and not in other places where even worse massacres have been happening and they don't get straightforward answers the answer that president obama gave in his speech also sounded rather vague it's true that america cannot use or. wherever repression approach. given the costs and risks of intervention we must always measure or interests against the need for action. but that cannot be an argument for never and. while behalf of what's right but some of the statements previously made
5:13 am
by u.s. officials could suggest an idea as to why libya we remember hillary clinton saying what the u.s. fears most of these libya becoming some giant somalia somalia news power vacuum carolus and no credible leader to deal with express a world power specifically western powers would never let levy which sits on best oil reserves become anything like somalia and many analysts say the limited of the allied forces with the intervention are there to make sure whatever government is formed whoever comes next in power is their next best friend and to make sure that those lucrative world exploration contracts which are already in place with a number of western companies are secured and possibly even expanded this underlying all issues actually are called in the statements of some of the coalition leaders italians for example accuse the french of been motivated quote by a desire to secure oil contracts with a future leaving government but turks voice certain conditions with nato saying nato should go all in with recognition an acknowledgement that levy a belongs to libya's not for the distribution of its underground resources and
5:14 am
wealth another interesting point from president obama's speech the united states will use the thirty's three plies billion dollars of frozen assets to provide assistance to the people of libya although the president did not say anything about this money being spent on strikes but it made some people wonder whether the u.s. and allies are waging war on khadafi on his money. when moving on to developments in this syria now where there are also around the government thousands gathered in the city of dare i appreciate the president to kickstart long awaited reforms the government's promised greater freedoms including the lifting of a culture of herschel emergency rule used to detain dissidents without trial and more than one hundred fifty people have been killed in the eleven day the fighting and that a wave of unrest chaiken the regime of president bashar while the government blames . foreign sources locals claim government are responsible for the situation in syria has raised fears another foreign intervention could be possible james
5:15 am
a dense cloud is a rise from middle east politics and security issues says although the west is not in the mood to intervene in syria is a third right now it might change its mind. it's bad to predict what's going to happen in the middle east at the moment but i would say that certainly from what we're hearing from washington and from the europeans there is no appetite for expanding the current intervention that we're seeing in libya i think even in libya the americans have been very quick to hand over to to nato in there for sort of wash their hands of total responsibility for what will happen next there hillary clinton who was quoted as saying that she still believes that bashar assad is a reformer someone who can potentially deliver a better syria rather than heading down into civil war which would have huge repercussions for the rest of the middle east bearing in mind syria's strategic position and so i don't see any kind of appetite at present for intervention in syria that said syria has a legacy mainly in the eighty's of heavy handed clampdowns on its own sort of civil
5:16 am
protests and i think if we saw anything like what happened say nine hundred eighty two hamma there west would be forced to intervene simply because the level of bloodshed but i think once again we're a long way away from that right now so libya has a more natural resources in terms of oil and is of course located right on the southern flank of some pretty powerful european states syria on the other hand is deeply intertwined in the middle east peace process relations with israel of course it has a longstanding and very complicated relationship with lebanon a country which still has yet to form a government following syria's ally hezbollah sort of bringing down the previous one and of course has links with iraq to i'm interested in what i've heard from various commentators about the role of the saudis in the jordanians have had in putting pressure on the americans to sort of back off syria and syria usually is an easy punch bag for the american administration has always been quite happy to have states actions and it's a lack of democracy in freedoms and it is quite interesting to actually see
5:17 am
americans almost defending bashar assad as a reformer today i think which is a reflection of how incredibly dynamic and fluid the situation is in the middle east at present and i would change that as our rightful middle east policy security . many muscovites traveling on the metro today are likely to think back to the devastating event of exactly a year ago that's when dozens of communities were killed and many others injured by two female suicide bombers targeting two stations in the morning rush hour mean a lot of it is outside one of the blast sites. there are certainly a lot of commemorative events scheduled for today of course to remember all of those who died lost loved ones or were injured in the two terrible suicide attacks that walk to the capitol early in the morning exactly one year ago mark but today we're standing is of course one of those metro stations also in the very heart of the russian capital dozens were killed and injured here in this very station still
5:18 am
grab the day people will be coming by bringing flowers lighting candles a lot of people are of course remembering the terrible events of that day monday in the portion of my colleague also look back on that terrible morning. it started off as just an ordinary monday morning for me three people of she like many others had a certain string in his stomach knowing the harsh school winter was all over with little did he realize the nightmare he would be thrown into just a few minutes later suddenly there was a horrible sound as if something huge. and i was there was a small. people. rushing. out of the car. he had heard was the start of the worst terrorist attack in the russian capital in six years just before eight am the first of two explosions hit the moscow subway

killing twenty four people at the crowded lubanga station which lies beneath they had quarters of the federal security service forty minutes later the terror trail moved south targeting a station at a crucial city intersection killing twelve move. the stock last year with the reason they still came and gave thirty eight right in the middle of the rush hour work its truck up the back of the trade house commuters try to get on board. no life in. sure he will board is there were there were remains of them some of there were threats from the floor near the metro train and the site was horrible it was. just before ours and there was nothing that could save them with eighty million commuters averaging a moscow subways one of the busiest in the world that's made it
5:20 am
a terrorist target in the past and on the stage a year ago in wants to be a target once again a twenty year old student leader so that he worries for herself be true fuses to live in fear treating sometimes i feel something like this i think about this but in general i think that we have safe safety in our lives a year ago tires brought moscow to a standstill by bringing horo to our reading life but if they wanted to destroy people's spirits those goal was certainly in order to secure live goal zone and while the terrorists were out to millions worse than moscow an across the globe remains it's something people have loaned to live with my question also moscow if definitely seen an increase in security personnel and all major transport locations such as the moscow metro system of course today especially we're seeing a lot of police officers outside the central adventure stations and of course
5:21 am
officials have been doing everything possible security officials to bring to justice all those responsible for the moscow metro bombings they've now. issued an international arrest warrant for the man that is believed to have. led and escorted the two female suicide bombers who hours sponsible for the metro suicide attacks or is the anniversary of which is today we also know that two people have been arrested in connection with moscow as the idea there were a terrorist attack force happened just a few my. to go we know that russia's most wanted terrorist who want to actually claimed responsibility for both of those attacks and officials have actually charged him and one other militant leader from the north caucasus with their responsibility in the dome idea to airport terrorist attacks we've also heard during this special operation in the russian southern republican bush where two men
