a break from the busy life take you to an authentic ski resort new rules as the area breaks free of its reputation of being just to reach it. you're watching our team broadcasting live from moscow well straight to our top story now libya's embattled government has flatly rejected rebel calls for a cease fire describing their terms as mad opposition leaders are demanding the regime withdraw its troops from western cities and ground freedoms to citizens while insisting come gadhafi steps down. in tripoli and she joins us live. gadhafi has rejected the rebels but his government seems to be involved in other talks to us a bit more about that. while the libyan government has rejected the offer of

a cease fire from the opposition a spokesperson here in tripoli said imad expect libyan soldiers to withdraw from cities where there was still fighting and this is almost ironic because it wasn't so long ago that tripoli itself made to cease fire offers and at that time the rebels said that these authors were. insincere and could not be trusted so certainly a lot of mistrust between both sides neither willing to be the first to lay down arms but on the diplomatic trying to slightly just some picture is emerging we are hearing from the country's former prime minister mr. beatty that the lines of communication have been opened and that they're hoping to intensify them they say that they are talking with the british the french and the americans to reach some kind of neutral settlement that would see the stopping of killings of civilians now we are hearing the same line coming out of london it has confirmed that in recent weeks it has been meeting in private with several high ranking libyan officials we know that just on wednesday mohammed ismail who is

a trusted aide the son was in london he was trying to organize what we understand some kind of an exit strategy for the gadhafi family that landed insisting that any kind of deal any kind of settlement plan would have to include some sort of stepping down now it does seem that a political settlement is possibly the way forward certainly the mood and the assessment one gets here on the ground is that the fighting has reached some kind of stalemate neither side is actually winning in terms of the last few days neither side has actually been able to move forward or backwards so people here increasingly thinking that a political solution is the way to go forward paula as nato airstrikes continue to look a country where we understand there have been reports of civilian casualties. we're hearing from doctors on the frontline and some of the most recent nato airstrikes at least seven civilians were killed they were all children three of them were girls from the same family you know what we've been told in what was incidence

nature is five hits and ammunitions and laurie and the explosions caused two nearby houses to collapse and some of those injuries coming from that overnight friday we're also hearing disturbing reports coming from the western city of misrata with residents saying in fact the government and soldiers there have intensified they surely that it is very random and a lot of people are dying here in tripoli leave the air strikes have continued overnight there were missiles that were fired in the east and south of little the city some of the landing in good at his compound at his ear according to eyewitnesses there they were mike was on the boarding and there was blood on the ground the fighting in the frontline into the around the town of gregor we are hearing though that the rebels are slightly better organized that they are not stopping to be inexperienced young fighters who showed themselves to flee in the face of chaos and actually reaching the frontline we are also being told that they

have new communication instruments with them in the form of satellite phones in the form of radios these have no doubt provided by the international community we're also being told that their bills headwater and some new report meant so that they are stepping up the fight on the ground we're hearing from the european union that if asked is ready to send a humanitarian mission it what you see and should be hold are not a military operation that will provide humanitarian assistance in the sense of hoping to evacuate displaced people and also provide assistance to the humanitarian organizations working here. ok for now thank you very much for that update. journalist and author susan says the rebels are too weak and disorganized to dictate conditions to the darkness since. gadhafi will never step down he's a fighter to the end and it is it seems extraordinary that the losing opposition

to the opposition forces while they are losing the war to try to dictate the terms of surrender to the party that's winning we just put our feet the united nations has jumped into this conflict before they were before they understood who they were teaming up with they did not understand anything about this opposition force the opposition force is not highly emotive they may be passionate in their politics but they are not highly organized on the battlefield essentially you're going to have to have a ground war to remove gadhafi. more reports of civilian casualties from later on i mean just in a sea of you and then fly resolution jeremy scahill investigative journalist and author of blackwater rise of the world's most powerful army says the u.n. is just one part. in the case of libya i think that we saw an incredible reactionary policy put into place by the obama administration i think there was

a lot of blackmailing and cajoling that went to the u.n. security council and the fact is that as much as people in the united states talk about how obama got this legitimacy from the u.n. security council five of the major powers in the world russia china brazil and india and germany abstained in those votes and they represent a majority of the citizens who are represented on the security council so you know this is a part of u.s. policy when it's convenient to use the u.n. security council the u.s. government will use it in the case of the kosovo bombing in ninety nine russia and china vetoed the resolution and said no you can't go to war against kosovo or against serbia over kosovo and so what the clip administration did was go to nato and use that for quote unquote legitimacy because moammar gadhafi need to be stopped yes he needs to be stop i oppose what the u.s. is doing not on moral grounds but on strategic grounds i think we're going to make it worse and we're getting involved in a civil war and unfortunately it seems like robert gates the defense secretary is

probably the most sane voice in the administration right now he's he's sort of openly saying he didn't think this was a good idea to get involved in libya this way that's fascinating that's a pretty big split i think within the administration and a lot of people are saying that robert gates is actually the most honest voice in this debate right now within the discussions taking place at the white house. meanwhile some say the policy of double standards and play into the hands of criminals while leaders around the world continue to the. vents of the past that sometimes you just can't escape the crimes they commit. and israeli. civilians. and we see jail for bribery they use case was corrupted by the government to avoid a pay day. almost a million views on you tube in less than a week the fairy tale of the three little pigs come back turned into a cartoon russian illustrated animation sensitizes the rest of course. things.

bombings she was visiting relatives in one of the towns in the south of setia i believe saakashvili should be removed from office i think you should be tried in international courts for rule crimes but when it comes to mikhail saakashvili even though the e.u. finding mission determined that he started the war in two thousand and eight and ordered the bloodbath in south the safety of the georgian president is still supported in the west they have no strategic interest in. supporting his overthrow the notion that decisions get made on the basis of humanitarian concerns is simply false it doesn't it's not the basis for the decision about libya it's not the basis for decisions about georgia about palestine about kosovo the question of who is held responsible and how is very much a strategic question it's not a legal question as it should be to boost its strategic importance among other things georgia has this patched one thousand troops to join allied forces in

afghanistan and became the leading troop contributor relative to georgia's overall population the valueless and as this fox news. interview shows almost unstoppable praise of the u.s. is also believed to have played a role in the west supporting saakashvili no matter what his clients and their affairs like because it's based on british and american archer and more or even right through them or through a privilege of mr safer regulations or arrested so you are now as the world has declared a no fly zone over libya to stop gadhafi many wonder why a no fly zone was never on the table when the georgian president launched his dad lee campaign or when israel bombed the garrison for three weeks in a row on the question for example of gaza where you had a blatant act of aggression clearly a violent massive violation of not only international human rights norms but work

crimes crimes against humanity being created fourteen hundred people killed of whom more than nine hundred were civilians more than three hundred were children it was a horrific situation that went on for days the problem there is that israel is the protector protectorate of the united states and the u.s. was not going to allow any one of the united nations or anyone else to actually engage in a serious way in stopping that massacre you would think if a leader commits atrocities he would be treated like a kidnapping he now and then from travel but these criminals that's not the way politics works the georgian president killed scores of civilians but was exonerated by the west politicians accept him as a friend business leaders are looking to invest in his country and it seems the grass is happy to continue turning a blind eye to the blood of these heads and benefit our reporting from washington r.t. . also to come for you on the program of putting the pieces in place with assemblies

so you spacecraft don't show you want to mark the fiftieth anniversary of your diary first response. un's top nuclear official has warned that the operation to solve the crisis. facility will be prolonged three weeks after a devastating earthquake and tsunami situation i mean serious meanwhile japan's prime minister is set to visit the original city to boost morale among those working at the site workers have been using fresh water from a barge and its. reactors. to expand the twenty kilometer evacuation zone or the radiation was witness to forty kilometers from the facility american writer and expert on japan and its says the government is not doing enough to resolve the crisis. one of the biggest problems they are

dealing with here is this whole thing is that left in the hands of the electrical company and in most of the large countries of the world i think if you had a problem of this seriousness you'd have now the central government coming in with all the big resources at their disposal the army the navy the resources of this film company are not up to it they don't have enough cars and vans its own to get food to the site well them. in a big wealthy country like japan there are other ways to do it and yet the government just seems to paralyzed unwilling to make a move beyond what some pyrrhic rats in the electrical company are telling us that there are many problems not only variations one of the cheeriest questions is why are they staying at a facility that is subject to radioactivity just five hundred meters from the site there have got to have been ways to bring in tents to go to temporary shelter say at one kilometer or even two which were lower the amount of radioactivity that

they're exposed to the issue is not so much what the electrical company did or didn't do but why the central government seems unwilling that's. a scandalous and politically charged trial in georgia has ended with an israeli investor being sentenced to seven years in jail only fuk sue was charged with bribery that he was set up by the georgian government and shows the investor one hundred million dollars. or expects. a roni folks is not only a major investor in georgia he's also on record so in turkey opposition combining economic development and all the rocker diplomacy he worked as an all trader in new york for something for teen years and yesterday he invested huge amounts of cash in georgia back in the one nine hundred ninety s. now of course surprisingly for he wanted to go last year he received an invitation

to visit georgia from the prime minister of the country himself now why surprisingly because for fifteen years rooney folks has been demanding one hundred million dollars from georgia and miami which georgia owes him for a bridge to grammont on construction of an oil pipeline back in the ninety's now accords in london that year ruled that george indeed should pay the money back for georgian authorities obviously didn't want to pay that money to rony folks here believe that invitation is just a formality to put an end to this fifteen year old dispute well shortly before that visit in quite a read see a hotel room in turkey there was an official meeting between. georgian authorities and there they reached a verbal agreement after drinking lots of cognac big roni folks would receive only seventy two million dollars instead of ninety eight george owed him but on one critical condition in return he gives seven million dollars back now the agreement

was reached only one formality was allowed to come over to georgia shake hands with the prime minister and finalize the deal the minutes after that happened in france so georgian t.v. cameras and his business associate were arrested for the question is how do you combat a businessman who georgia that huge amount of cash and up in a prison now the lure of it was a trap. we wisely set out by. himself there was in for a. cooperation a collaboration between four important ministries of the government and probably with the approval of the president of the ministry of finance the ministry of justice or the ministry of the interior and the prime minister's office all of which came together with the player two and burnishing fuchs was then informed

through diplomatic channels that he would not be released until your patrician award was waived now shortly after his business partner was over they were all for a ransom what could be called a ransom was put on the table now georgia said that he could be released to eat here admitted guilt and if he gave the money back but rooney for refused to do either now we know the jury general wants the world to believe that it's on a war against corruption and really personally wants to attract foreign investment into the country so of course he has saved this one hundred million dollars obviously but the question is how much will he lose because now the foreign investors will have to think twice before bringing money into this country. other controversial case may well deter other potential investors from doing business in the country that's according to carver of the conservative party of georgia.

right you know it's a signal not only for israeli businessman but also i think for european business before american business with it if you are looking corrupt to doing sweet jordan garbage you can do business in georgia the same signal was the i think it was four years ago the. resource only in the market of stories the center of the commission was raided right who is supposed it will be very tragic for the georgian economy with keeping the right no difference in frankly spatially after this case was the move towards by israeli government in different international restrictions that was neither of the conservative party of georgia. to get more news and feature stories from martinique website. as a quick look at what's there now as the snow finally got. some of the capitals innovators to clear the sailing season and from the city's roads.
