in libya the rebel advance spotted by coalition air strikes is held up conal khadafi is home town but there's a concern in the capital that the opposition's modest west. is not on the side willing to back down from noise in the spirit and in painting do not talk with rebels no one spain next attack on points here in the capital city of tripoli join me in a few moments and i'll bring you more. here in the rebel stronghold of guys to the opposition celebrates its gains saying he won't talk until gadhafi is gone quite old if you go in just a few moments. president obama also admits that he wants to see gadhafi gone saying

the u.s. will continue to talk to his regime even when nato takes come on the military. and moscow more as the forty victims of last year's twin suicide attacks on the capital's metro system that shocked the nation but only strengthened their results in the fight against terrorism. he would also you live from moscow or just after three pm well after the wreckage of violence libyan rebels are now being pushed further back from the outskirts of colonel gadhafi his hometown there are reports of a heavy bombardment and gunfire being used by pro-government forces despite claims that a ceasefire is in place. now reports from tripoli. there have been is strikes overnight

and into the early hours of this morning choose day here in the capital city of tripoli the targets were both military and civilian now we all just hear reports that in terms of the fighting on the ground the front man has been pushed backwards to the city of breeden jawad 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 stride the doctors saying that many of them have lost limbs they've lost arms they've lost aides and they have shrapnel wounds to their heads the doctors also saying 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 get out these defenses and so they will work a way 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 be reports of intensive shelling of intensive fighting taking place there 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 i don't know if you were prevented from actually reaching the city center from the outskirts it's crime here 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 burned out civilian vehicles as well as burned out tanks 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 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 moksha. and there are no growing child teachers of fuel of water so we've seen queues of people

not only in the front of pixel stations but also in front of bakeries supermarkets and other such schools it is understood that tripoli is not only a strategic importance for the rebels but it has great symbolic value it certainly is something that is incentivizing the rebel fighters to march towards tripoli and because of that residents here are rallying around baby good athlete and thirty they are increasingly alarmed by the reports that this frontline keeps getting pushed out is probably reporting that meanwhile in the rebel stronghold of benghazi position fighters have expressed joy gains on the frontline with the fire. going off meaning gauging the mood in libya's second largest city so you bring us this report. leave the entire city of benghazi the rebel stronghold and the tiny east or north from libya are monitoring the situation al gore on the front and of course especially around the swords of god that he's home town but even though dad said

the rebels have not been able to gain control over the the city still the spirits are pretty high in fact the opposition does say that the view on the ground it's not going to be easy to fight and defeat god that he's the man they see that they are 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 people lost to go to these forces just a week ago at least. in fact every time something positive you know even on the special lesion on fifty pounds a week you gun shots being fired into the air as a sign of war and support off the revolution the ultimate 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 running. along. any third side tell them what's going on for a system will be here they want to of the say that it stops libyan people to the side what to do with gaddafi and his family and what kind of regime they want to hear in the country they do say that they are ready to listen to something nice coming from the west from germany france and great britain so far it seems like here in the east corner of the country opposition is in full control and in fact the rebels are i'm organizing an interim authority body here and they're now dividing responsibilities among one another when it comes to various years of life from the economy industry and police and law and etc so they are establishing more control here in this war 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 have. online. correspondents on the spot. our facebook page. is. a political future.

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's the libyan people decide for themselves what the political future of libya should look like but of course the irony that we're staying 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 will receive the council whether there will be any rebel representatives here. for us as the post you'd like to someone from the rebel side coming to to represent the country but it'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 the question that we're asking ourselves here in london is is it a bit early for talking about the political future of libya and who should be

talking in parts another of the aims of this meeting is to reiterate a commitment to enforce this u.n. resolution one thousand and seven chiefly. this is the resolution of course allows the creation of a no fly zone and also a mandate to protect the billions head of this military intervention in libya but head of the meeting u.k. and the u.k. and france issued a joint statement which appeared she advocates regime change and if you're in no uncertain terms is included the word gets out he must go immediately and cooling and called on all his followers to leave him before it's too late like weights and of course that it's in that un 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 known to be quite fearful of western power. coming in and while

saying a change of regime in libya russia's also criticized the military action that leaves allies paralysed and perpetrates a foreign minister lavrov says that the action definitely goes beyond the un resolution saying that the allies are interfering in essentially a civil war which is not sanctioned by the un resolutions it's not very pleased about that he has sent these countries that are participating and that's after calling on the meeting to end what he's being a barbaric offensive against his country and he believes in life in the abstract by the militia and. military campaign during world war two so it's very unequivocal that. he's unlikely to take any notice of what comes out of this meeting and we won't know what's coming out until much later this afternoon so i'll be following it what i thought is more i'm going to i'll swear russia and nato council has been

holding a meeting at the alliance's headquarters in brussels moscow and for dimitri rogosin spoke to us straight after the talks now he says the coalition is going too far in libya. but in cahoots with the media it's not up to nato to decide the future of libya it's up to the un security council and if someone in nato thinks otherwise they are deeply distinctly different during their meeting with nato officials today even though we demanded that the un security council all be informed about the actions of the loans in libya at all times you coalition has taken sides it's only targeting gadhafi forces clearing bills that are not in direct action against the rebels we have reports of airstrikes against called voice far from the front line this is a far cry from the u.n. security council resolution where no. well during his first major speech since as strikes on libya started barack obama said the u.s. would remove any chance of khadafi for kerry but appears to confirm suspicions that washington has taken sides in

a civil war that's something that russia says is not sanctioned by the u.n. resolution and if and when a nato takes charge that doesn't mean that american bombs will stop forming parties and candidates kind of courts here's what we heard from president obama he said the u.s. involvement would be limited but the goal is to protect us and that the u.s. is happy that nato is taking command of all libyan operations take a listen to this transfer from the united states to nato will take place on wednesday going forward the lead 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 is remaining force. you know there for the united states will 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 to organization 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 polls showing the last four decades americans a disapproval of the military action has never been as high as it is now we believe the intervention the fischel reasoning which is we're there to protect civilians doesn't sit well with many because the as why do which is that they're civilians in libya and not in other places were 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 big it's true that america cannot use our builds or

wherever repression. given the costs and risks of intervention we must always measure our interests against the need for action. it cannot be an argument for never. on behalf of what's right but some of the statements previously made by u.s. officials could suggest an idea as to why lead we remember hillary clinton saying look the u.s. fears most these levy of becoming some giant somalia somalia means power vacuum chaos and no credible leader to deal with experts say will power specifically western powers would never let levy which sits on best 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 and 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 extended this underlying or oil issues actually echoed in the statements of some of the coalition

leaders 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 an acknowledgement that the media 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 six replies billion dollars of khadafi this 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. he's going to reporting that moving on to developments now in syria where there are also main protests tens of thousands are gathered in the capital in a show of support for president bashar assad his eleven year rule has been challenged by demonstrations are demanding long awaited reforms the government has

promised greater freedoms including the lifting of a controversial emergency in the well used to detain dissidents without trial all the one hundred fifty people being killed in eleven days of fighting the government blames foreign sources it's on the locals claim the government troops are responsible for the situation in syria has raised fears another foreign intervention could be possible james. he's a writer rather on middle east politics and security issues says that although the west is not in the mood to intervene in syria's affairs right now it might 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 nature a natural sort of wash their hands of total responsibility for what happened next that henry clinton was quoted as saying that he still believes that bashar assad is

a reformer someone who could potentially i deliver a better syria rather than heading down into a civil war which would have huge repercussions for the rest of the middle east bearing in mind syria's clear 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 nice new to your family the west would be first to intervene simply because the level of bloodshed but i think once again we're a long way away from that right now seven libya has a more natural resources in terms of oil and is of course located right in the southern flank all of us and pretty powerful european states and 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 an interest in what i've heard

from various commentators about the role the saudis and the jordanians have had in print pressure on the americans to sort of back off seventy syria usually is an easy punch bag for the american administration has always been quite happy to have the states actions and it's a lack of democracy and freedoms but it is quite interesting that she said the americans almost offending 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. time but it was james right on middle east politics and security issues. well many muscovites traveling on the metro today are likely to be thinking back to the devastating events of exactly a year ago that's when dozens of commuters were killed and many others injured by a pair of a female suicide bombers who targeted two stations in the morning rush hour. i was outside one of the blast sites there's certainly a lot of commemorative events scheduled for today of course jill remember all of

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 due to where we're standing is of course one of those metro stations also in the very hard all of the russian capital and dozens were killed and injured here in this very station still 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 my dear the question of my colleague also look back on that terrible morning. it started off as just an ordinary monday morning for me to leave it all he like many others had a certain spring in his step knowing the harshness cool winter was gone but only with little did he realize the nightmare he would be thrown into just a few minutes later suddenly there was a very horrible sound as if something huge had formed.

and i woke up and there was a small haze. he was shouting and rushing out of the car would me that 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 moved. east last year i miss my space it came at eight thirty eight right in the middle of the rush hour it's out the back of the trade house commuters try to get on board it was dark there was no lighting and i just thought it was bodies and that whatever remained of them some of them were stretched on the floor near the metal frame and that site

was horrible it was people who just before us there was nothing that could save them with eight million commuters after a day 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 force for herself the true fuses to live in fear today. sometimes i feel something like this i mean. about this but general i think that we have a safe safety. a year ago tires broad moscow to a standstill by bringing horo to reading life but if they wanted to destroy people's spirits those goal was to know what it says to live go zone and while the terrorists were out to millions both in moscow an across the globe remains it's

something people how blown to live with the question also moscow we've definitely seen an increase in security personnel in all major transport locations such as the moscow metro system before such a day 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 of course the anniversary of which is today we also know that two people have been arrested in connection with moscow as the terrorist attack happened just a few months ago we know that russia's most wanted terrorist. actually crying

responsibility for both of those attacks and officials have actually charged him and one other militant leader from the north caucasus with the responsibility in the airport terrorist attacks we will also heard that during the special operation in the russian southern republic of and where two men will believe she may have played a role in the moscow 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. terrorist and one of them has allegedly since been identified as a very close associate of himself so there are already some speculations that russia's most wanted men could be among 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 wanted and

dangerous man in this country and we've got a live from moscow in a few moments i will be here with all the latest business news but for now let's get to some other international news making headlines around the world that's our at least one hundred ten people have been killed in a series of explosions sort of pollution making factory in southern yemen a plant which had been seized by militant group was in the process of being looted by civilians when a cigarette is thought to have sparked a massive blast meanwhile and some government rallies continue in the country with thousands on the streets of the capital sanaa yemen as a western backed president is facing pressure to stand and face trial. i had in the ivory coast forces loyal to the internationally recognized president say that trying to seal the border with wide area. troops accused the coming leader laurent gbagbo of importing fighters from the neighboring country by boat refuses to step down as part of international consensus that he last november's election up
