we've got to. the biggest issues get a human voice ceased to face with the news makers. of the. libyan government says no to a ceasefire offer from the opposition saying it would be madness to take its soldiers out of the cities where there's fighting i'm told us here in the capital city of tripoli killing me in a few moments and i'll bring you more. meanwhile a russian cartoonist take on the events in libya and across the middle east is causing a stir on the internet. also to russia cause a team travels through a once closed region that were damaged as a major tourist destination in the great city life in the big girl now.

live from our studios in central moscow you're watching archie with me and he said now wait it's four pm here in the russian capital our top story ten libyan rebels have been reported killed in a coalition air strike some sources suggest that the strike came after protests after the fighter joined the group and opened fire on allied planes meanwhile the country's government has injected rebel calls for a cease fire or just falsely or has more from tripoli. spokesperson here in tripoli said it would be mad to 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 different picture is emerging we are hearing from the country former prime minister mr. o'grady and the lines of communication have been opened and they are 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 reins day mohammed ismail who is a trusted aide of the daffy son was in london he was trying to organize what we understand some kind of exit strategy for the gadhafi family that landed insisting that any kind of deal any kind of settlement plan would have to include gadhafi himself stepping down we're hearing from doctors on the front line and some of the most recent later it strikes 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 him up with separate incidents nato airstrike hit an ammunitions and lobby 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 residents saying that the government and soldiers there have intensified it surely that it is very random and that a lot of people are dying here in tripoli levy a strikes have continued overnight there were missiles that were fired in the east and south east of the city some of the. landing and give up his compound has his ear according to eyewitnesses there were snipers on the building and it was blood on the ground the fighting in the frontline into the around the town of brega we are hearing though that the rebels are so i think organized that they are now stopping really inexperienced young fighters who showed themselves to flee in the face of chaos from actually reaching

the frontline we're 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 the rebels have water and some new recruitment so that they are sticking up the fight on the ground we are hearing from the european union that if asked it is ready to send a humanitarian mission if what you say it should be holding not a military operation that will provide humanitarian assistance in the sense of helping to evacuate displaced people and also provide assistance to the humanitarian organizations working here. but bread you know neal editor of the online political magazine spikes told r.t. the foreign intervention in libya is unlikely to bring the country's people any positive outcome. it's a disaster i think from beginning to end it's a very it's i've called it the barbarism of food and what we have here are western leaders who don't know what they want don't know why they're interfering don't have

any plan or strategy or even any real leadership and yet they're throwing bombs into a country that was already very volatile it's one of the most reckless actions that western governments have taken for many years and it's going to end terribly for the people of libya the west is going to back some kind of former regime former rulers making their own new kind of government this is not going to be an intervention that supports the actual cause of liberation or the cause of democracy or the people in libya who actually want to run their own lives and be free it's going to be an intervention that ends up strengthening the hand of people who have already had power in some form former friends of gadhafi former backers of gadhafi they are the people who are going to benefit people who turn their back on good actually and say they want to run libya in a new way so i think at the end of this we could end up with a situation where libya ruled by pretty much the same people just without gadhafi himself and that is going to be really bad for the people of libya. the suggestion of some western countries to supply arms to the libyan rebels is pointless ten

chile one thought that's a great artes military contributor colonel that you've solved so it's a lack of leadership which hampers the rebels not a shortage of weapons. in a recent interview with the b.b.c. so listeners grilled me own their one of the latest challenge to the u.s. foreign policy in libya will be to arm or not to arm the rebels against their conduct of the oil and now i have a unique opportunity to explain the need for why it doesn't make sense co-leading to leave or militarily to armed a lot go only be in rebels so the main challenge for the rebels is not so much the local square parts but there are the local leadership the absence of political and military organization so the supplier rebels who may or may not have already been infiltrated right outside or right now before the rebels figure out how to tackle these multiple challengers to supply there will be weapons only egger variants and

in one of the towns in southall said i believe scottish really should be removed from office i think you should be tried in international courts for rouer crimes but when it comes to me feel even those the e.u. finding mission determined that he started a war in two thousand and eight and ordered a bloodbath in south 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 a 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 dispatched one thousand troops to the joint allied forces in

afghanistan and became the leading troop contributor relative to georgia's overall population soundless and is this fox news in. view shows almost nonstop all praise of the u.s. is also believed to have played a role in the west supporting saakashvili no matter what his pines america's like because it's based on a break in the marriage production and more and more didn't want to go through that religion is because they for a graduation were bastards so you now as the world is 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 gas of the three weeks in a row on the question for example of gaza where you had a latent act of aggression clearly a violent massive violation of not only international human rights norms but war 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 anyone 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 they could benefit the now banned from travel at this point that's not the way politics works but georgian president killed scores of civilians but was exonerated by the west politicians exactly as a friend is this leaders are looking for the best in his country and it seems the grass is happy to continue turning a blind eye to the blood of separateness heads i'm going to check out reporting from washington r.t. . well the un breast in the middle east and the crisis in japan have raised all

a line between the two. corporations and government which right now that line is very blurry my and most important economic trade which is triple bottom line which means you look at what's best for not only the businesses. only for the employees involved in businesses but society as well so if that becomes your economic standard then you're improving not only the companies and the global economy but the. area that that that companies working in as well as a lot of people are feeling like it's time for the dollar to step down because there's always been animosity have begins to us. because we're the best. so is it jealousy to think yeah i do i think a lot of people jealous of what we had were a free country you can come from nothing and make a million dollars or you can make a million dollars and lose it all but you have opportunity i just got from italy and i got crushed by the. you know thirty percent of the dollars losing weight no

matter what we do thank you oh well look i remember back then i used to get turned sixty yen to the dollar now it's maybe a hundred eight. times for a global monetary system do you think now you deny you're a socialist i can't go down that road no matter what you or i think should be done to improve the global economy the bottom line is those decisions will always be made by those with the most money for better or worse. preparations for the takeoff of the science spacecraft are in full swing at baikonur cosmodrome with a rocket now installed on the launch pad in three days it will bring a soft celebrating the upcoming fiftieth anniversary of humankind first turn to the stars artists are still your story. over a few days before the actual launch of be so used to your mates when you want to be a good witness in the assembly of the rocket the three main modules that make up the spacecraft now according to be

a whim invested most of his capital into building resort near the top national park the russians generally prefer to hit the slopes in europe are legs roatan says the number of visitors to this resort grows every season but with used the word but all you got to go to the alps and you love it but you come back here because it's home just two hours from moscow by plane. not to mention the fact that you can get away with this at a lot of ski resorts in europe snowboarding stress relief it's just part of the escapism which draws young and old alike the children scrooge and thank you mr rugby crowds in places like this you really do relax you get away from the fast of a large city which is totally unnecessary and it's all about resting your mind and body. the landscape in this part of the year old's mountains actually goes a long way towards helping the mind unwind of course there are plenty of gorgeous ways in the world that have no but if you want a true russian winter fairy tale then to go national park is really the place where
