the old waverly had to make it illegal so it's not the millstone who took some of the country house holiday is the bull goldman tells the rant the crew made to choose to feel. the oil spill the ruben's hotel. in libya rebel advance sparked by a coalition air strikes is held up. but there's concern in the capital the opposition west. is not on the side willing to back down to join the yemeni painting block when rebels know unspayed next time i'm going to stay in the capital city of tripoli joined in a few moments and i'll bring you. here in the rebel stronghold. again saying we won't stop until garvey's god i know we need to go in just a few moments. president obama admits he also wants to see could go on saying the

u.s. will continue to target his regime even when nato takes come on opening. and moscow mourns the forty victims of last year's twin suicide attacks on the capital's metro system that shocked the nation but only strengthen the resolve and the fight against terrorism. worldwide news live from moscow this is welcome to the program a lot of the. libyan rebels are now being pushed further back from the outskirts of town there are reports of a heavy bombardment and gunfire being used by pro-government forces this guy claims that a ceasefire is in place. reports from tripoli. there have been a strikes overnight and into the early hours of this morning chouse day here in the

capital city of tripoli be the targets were both military and civilian now we are just hearing reports that in terms of the fighting on the ground the front on has been pushed backwards to the city of binge awad away from the city of sirte that is gadhafi is home town we are hearing distressing reports though from doctors inside said they say that they have been treating hundreds of patients libyan soldiers who have been targeted in these prohibition in strikes the doctors saying that many of them have lost limbs they've lost arms they had lost an age and they had deep shrapnel wounds to be heads the doctors also say that it's impossible to determine how many people have been killed in these airstrikes because many of them have died on the sides of the roads and they've been just being very bare now the rebels also tasting that if they can operate through gadhafi still faces in sirte 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 rebel stronghold in the western part

of this country we still though continue to hear reports of intensive shelling of intensive fighting taking place there in the last twenty four hours 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 i don't know if we were prevented from actually reaching the city center from the outskirts it's quite clear in terms of the destruction and devastation there was broken glass from windows of buildings bullet holes in the walls of those buildings there were a number of burnt out civilian vehicles as well as burnt out times so the 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 these city is essentially in a state of lockdown in addition to the impending fear that residents might make that the rebel fighters map make good on their promise to actually macho. in tripoli there are growing shortages you'll. see we've seen queues of people not

only in the front of kittrell stations but also in front of bakeries supermarkets and other such stories it is understood that tripoli is not only as strategic importance sort of a boast but it has great symbolic value it certainly is something that is incentivizing the vehicle fighters to march towards tripoli and because of that residency all dragging around the leader moammar gadhafi and so he they are increasingly alarmed by the reports of this frontline keeps getting pushed out in support of their reporting that well meanwhile rebel stronghold of benghazi opposition fighters something expressed their joy at the games on the frontline with gunfire and we got a postcard has been gauging the mood in libya's second largest city to pronounce this report. the city of being going to rebel stronghold in the east or an awful libya or monitoring the situation al there on the front and of course especially around some words of god that he's home but even though bad to the

rebels have not been able to i mean control over the city still the spirits are pretty high in fact the opposition does say that the war in the ground it's not going to be easy to fight any deep deep god that is me me me and these three that they're ready to to do whatever it takes in order to achieve that will be were able to control all most of the. people lost to go to these forces just a week ago you would use. every time somebody was very unusual or even some other speculation of possible you know. your gunshots being fired into the air at the time of up towards and supporting the revolution the whole to my goal is to get rid of all got out these regime and it was a battle for new order in the country on the i. this is going to be a democratic country in fact resting not

a wall and any side tell them what sort of system will be here they want to. be a libyan people to decide what to do with gaddafi and his family and what kind of regime they want to hear in the country to. be already. 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 i'm organizing an interim authority body here and they're now biding responsibilities on one of the other when it comes to be a city years away from the economy industry and police and law and etc so they 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. you're going to stop reporting that well i mean time

a select number of foreign policy heavyweights gathering in the u.k. to outline a political future for libya and also use a lorry. is another let's cross live to our right now and talk about this meeting in. foreign policy heavyweights they putting their heads together taking upon themselves to decide the future of libya to us about what's expected to come out of this meeting. it was pretty interesting to hear you. saying that the libyan rebels are looking to britain germany and france for some kind of guidance because of course that's what this this conference in london is all about one of the main aims of it is to outline the political future of libya and also to underline the international community is designed to let the libyan people decide for themselves what the political future of libya should look like and of course the irony that we're seeing here in london is that there's possibly actually going to be no one from libya attending this conference to decide to the political future of that

country we're receiving conflicting accounts of whether there will be any rebel representatives here the u.k. is saying no front says that possibly might be someone from the rebel side coming to represent the country but there's definitely going to be nobody here from these government which of course is still in power in libya we shouldn't forget that it hasn't stepped down yet so it's a question that we're asking ourselves or another this is it a bit early for talking about the political future of libya and who should be talking about it in fact another of the the aims of this meeting is to to reiterate a commitment to enforce this u.n. resolution one nine hundred seventy three and the resolution of course allows the creation of a no fly zone and it also mandated the protection of civilians head of this military intervention in libya but head of the meeting in the u.k. and france issued a joint statement which appears to advocate regime change in libya in no uncertain

terms is included the word exactly must go immediately and calling and called a little his followers to leave him before it's too late and i quote of course in that in that u.n. resolution which allowed the intervention in libya that there doesn't appear to be any mandate for regime change so what might happen in london here is that the arab league certainly might have something to say about that. they are now going to be quite fearful of western powers coming in and forcing a change of regime in libya russia has also criticized the military action that the allies the coalition is perpetrating foreign minister lavrov says that the action definitely goes beyond the scope of the un resolution saying that that the allies are interfering in what is essentially a civil war which is not sanctioned by the u.n. resolution we may see some more to climb down in a hearing particularly in the u.k.

and other countries who are willing to talk exactly and his followers to be partially prosecuted when it comes to its international norm for humanitarian reasons for attacking his own people but in private we're hearing there is increasing support for a deal so that if gadhafi steps down he would get immunity from prosecution and he would get the right to live out his natural life essentially in another country so there were we'll wait to see what happens with that. is an interesting issue as you were saying earlier nor about regime change in the ousting of could offer us days ago the. council president home of iran voice said you know we are going we're gunning for gadhafi we want him gone shortly after that obama wasn't quite so sure now he is supporting of regime change there in this meeting that you're monitoring today between western powers and leaders who are talking about the future of libya we had anything from the libyan leadership in regards to today's meeting. we have an obviously. very pleased about the reasons that i've outlined i think.

representing. these countries that are part. and. offensive against his country and. by the coalition. military campaign during world war two very unequivocal that. unlike. what comes out of this meeting and we won't know what's coming out until much later the. person of this meeting or things or about from. well we've got the latest from libya around the clock on the line check out regular updates from our correspondents who will. do so on our twitter stream. as well we also found all the latest videos on our you tube channel it.

is. iraq obama said the u.s. would like to remove any chance of a victory but appears to confirm suspicions that washington has taken sides in a civil war something that russia has not sanctioned the u.n. resolution and even when nato does take charge that doesn't mean american bombs will stop forming. reports. here is what we heard from president obama is that the u.s. involvement in libya would be limited that the goal is to protect civilians and that 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 but leading 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 gadhafi as remaining forces in that effort the united states will play a supporting role it may seem that the u.s. is taking its hands arms rather off leave you 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 within nato as well the u.s. is the largest contributing building is asia so handing over command to nato does not mean quitting we also have to take into account that this speech comes amid

growing frustration over what the 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 a disapproval of the military action has never been as high as it is now with the leading to question the official reasoning which is we're there to protect civilians doesn't sit well with many because they ask why do which is that they're civilians and levy and not in other places where even worse massacres have been happening and they don't have straightforward answers the answer that president obama gave his speech also sounded rather vague it's true that america cannot use our military wherever repression of person given the cost and risks of intervention we must always measure our interests against the need for action. cannot be an argument for never answer on behalf of what's right but some of the statements previously made by u.s. officials could suggest an idea as to why we remember hillary clinton saying what

the u.s. fears most the zeevi of becoming some giant somalia somalia of power vacuum carolus a no credible leader to deal with i suppose they won't power specifically western powers would never let levy a which sits on vast oil reserves become anything like somalia 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 to make sure that those lucrative oil exploration contracts which are already in place with a number of western companies are secured and possibly even extending this on the line or oil issues actually at holding the statements of some of the coalition beaters italians for example accuse the french of being motivated by a desire to secure oil contracts with a future leaving government the turks voice certain conditions with nato saying nato should go all in with recognition and acknowledgement that leave your belongs to leave us not for the distribution of its underground resources and wealth

another interesting point from president obama's speech the united states will use the thirty's three clause billion dollars of these 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 could not be on his money. i know just kind of put it right i was moving on to developments in syria where they have also had protests tens of thousands are gathered in the capital in a show of support for president bashar al assad his eleven year old has been challenged by demonstrations the mounting long awaited reforms the government has promised greater freedoms including the lifting of a controversial emergency law used to detain dissidents without trial more than one hundred fifty people have been killed in eleven days of fighting the government blames foreign sources for the locals claiming government troops are responsible for the situation in syria has raised fears that another foreign intervention could be possible james advanced levels of russia well and good reason politics and

security issues says that although the west is not in the mood to intervene in syria's affairs right now it could change its mind. it's bad to predict what's going to happen the middle east of the moment but i would say that certainly what 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 naysay in their forces wash their hands of total responsibility for what happened next that i had a recurrence in was quoted as saying that she still believes that bashar assad is a reformer someone who could potentially i deliver a better syria rather than heading down into the civil war which would have huge repercussions for the rest of the middle east bearing in mind syria's geo strategic position so i don't see any kind of appetite at present for western intervention in syria that said syria has a legacy in the main in the eighty's of heavy handed clampdowns on its own sort of

civil process and i think if we saw anything like what happened say ninety two to one family and the west would be first into being simply because the level of bloodshed but i think once again we're a long way away from that right now certainly libya has a more natural resources in terms of oil and is of course located i watch in the southern flank hold for us and pretty powerful european states syria on the other hand is deeply intertwined in the middle east peace process relations with israel of course has a longstanding and very complicated relationship with lebanon a country which still has yet to form a government following syria's ally hezbollah are 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 the saudis and the jordanians have had increased pressure on the americans to sort of back off seventy syria usually is an easy punch back for the american administration has always been quite happy to have a go at the state's actions and it's a lack of democracy and freedoms but it is quite interesting that she said 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. but that was not james jones like a writer on middle east politics on for security features. for many muscovites traveling on the metro today likely to think back to the devastating events of exactly one year ago when dozens of commuters were killed and many others injured by a pair of a female suicide bombers targeting two stations in the morning rush hour i got to know i was out of it i was outside one of the blast sites there's certainly a lot of commemorative events scheduled for today of course to remember all those who died lost loved ones or were injured in the two terrible suicide attacks that rocked the capital early in the morning exactly one year ago partly through where we're standing is of course one of those metro stations also in the very hard all the russian capital and dozens were killed and injured here in this very station so

throughout 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 question of my colleague also look back on that terrible morning. it started off as just an ordinary monday morning for me that he could do he like many others had a certain string in his step knowing the harshness cool winter was only a little but little did he realize the nightmare he would be thrown into just a few minutes later suddenly the words race horrible sound as if something huge performed. and i woke up and there was a small a haze. he was shouting and rushing out of the car would need to be had her it 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 lubyanka 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 from all. the stuff last year finally we face it came at age thirty eight right in the middle of the rush hour it struck up the back of the train asked commuters try to get on board it was dark there was no life and i just thought it was bodies and that whatever remained of them some of them were stretched on the floor near the rafa train and the site was horrible it was. just before us and there was nothing that would save them with eight million commuters after a day in moscow subways one of the busiest in the world that's made it a terrorist target in the past and on this day a year ago in wants to be

a target once again a twenty year old student leader so the horse for herself the truth uses to live in fear today. sometimes i feel something like this i think. but general i think that we have a safe safety. a year ago tires broad moscow to a standstill by bringing reading lloyd but if they wanted to destroy people's tourists those goal was to us and we know what it says alive go zone and while a terror threat to millions both in moscow and across the globe remains it's something people have blown to live with my son the question also moscow we've definitely seen an increase in security personnel in all of major transport locations such as the moscow metro system before today especially we're seeing a lot of police officers outside of the central stations and of course officials

have been doing everything possible security officials to bring to justice all those responsible for the moscow metro bombings they have now. issued an international arrest warrant for the man that is believed to have. led and escorted the two female suicide bombers who our 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 terrorist attack or stopping just a few months ago we know that russia's most wanted terrorist. actually 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 airport terrorist attacks we've also heard that during the special operation in the russian southern republican bush where two men who are believed to have played

a role in the moscow the idea the airport bombing we know that seventeen other militants were killed during that special operation two of them are actually believed working closely with russia's most wanted. harris and one of them has allegedly since been identified as a very close associate of a model from seoul so there are already some speculations that russia's most wanted men could be amongst those seventeen killed as a result of a special forces operation in which states however those speculations have been heard before and until there is a confirmation from the security officials he remains one of the most long and dangerous man in this country. and without the law from moscow let's look at some other international news now making headlines this hour at least one hundred ten people have been killed in a series of explosions at a bullet making factory in southern yemen the plant which had been seized by a militant group was in the process of being looted by civilians when

a cigarette as the order of smaug must have been lost you know i think talking about these continue in the country with thousands on the streets of the capital some humans in western backed president facing pressure to stand down and face trial. and in the ivory coast forces loyal to the internationally recognized president say that trying to seal the border with liberia i listen to what his troops accuse the incumbent leader back both of importing fighters from the neighboring country by boat refuses to step down despite an international consensus that he last november's election up to one million people meantime have fled their homes fearing obeid it sporadic civil war. and the thirteen a pakistani soldiers have been killed in an apparent friendly fire incident but the accident took place during an m.t.v. news corp and near the border with afghanistan according to one official the soldiers were retaliating machine gunfire when the mortar bomb missed the target

and mistakenly hit their own position pakistani military forces are often targeted by rebels linked to al qaeda and the taliban right up to date the latest headlines here on our city but now it's one of the business news if you. thanks and welcome to the business scene the price of oil has fallen by with ground slipping below one hundred fifteen dollars per barrel investors have high hopes that can lead to an all may be flowing back through the pipeline sooner than expected that's after rebels regain control of key all towns and pledged a quick response of output how about richard swanson plants energy agency says it may take some time before companies stable supply is from the. if britain can get hold of the oil fields and they have some production they now control the ports so they have the infrastructure in theory this could mean that they are capable of exporting oil but there are certainly legal issues around those companies are going to avoid this yet there i mean libya is still subject to sanctions different

sanctions from the united states from the european union from the united nations where some of the good companies are going to be quite wary of who are trading with who it's all a fraud boy this oil going to get yourself in trouble. let's have a look at how the markets are before me asian stocks closed in the negative provides some balance in efforts to bring japan stricken nuclear conflicts under control japan's nikkei twelve point two percent the hang seng is down point three percent. european stocks a moment by time banks sure as incomers bank fell three point two percent in frankfurt as a result speculate that it may be looking to raise capital b.p. p.l.c. added pressure to the downside after i broke a downgrade if it see on the downside down point two percent a point six percent respectively. and here in russia the market is seeing a correction of negative news from a broader and below all prize the r.c.s. is down one point one percent under my six a one percent. boeing could be poised to invest around
