some funds to purchase these. stunts on t.v. don't come. libyan government says no to a ceasefire offer from the opposition saying it would be mad to take its soldiers other cities where there's pricing i'm going to say here in the capital city of tripoli join me in a few moments and i'll bring you will. meanwhile a russian cartoonist called the star on the internet with his take on the events in libya and across the leagues. and the russian close up gene travels to a once close bridge and now rebounds as a major tourist destination offering a break from boston city life in the lone mountain.

but from our studios in central moscow you're watching our team and me and he said now it's six pm here in the russian capital our top story this hour ten libyan rebels have been reported killed in a coalition air strike some sources suggest that the strike came after a pro khadafi fighter going for group and opened fire at allied planes meanwhile the country's government has rejected rebel calls for a cease fire balls there 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 offers were insincere and could not be trusted so certainly a lot of mistrust between both sides neither willing to eat of food to lay down

arms but on the diplomatic trying to slightly different picture is emerging we are hearing from the country's former prime minister mr abdul actually agree that the lines of communication has been opened and that 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 the greens day mohammed ismail who is a trusted aide of the duffy sound 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 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 in what was incidents nato airstrikes hit an 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 where residents say that the government and soldiers there have intensified actually that it is very random and that a lot of people are dying here into believe the a strikes have continued overnight there were missiles that were fired in the east and south and west of the city some would. landing in get out these compounds. according to eyewitnesses there were snipers on the building and there was blood on the ground the fighting in the frontline into the around the town of rigor we are hearing that the rebels are so i think. that they are now stopping to be inexperienced young fighters who showed themselves to flee in the face of chaos from 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 be provided by the international community well being told that the rebels have water and some new equipment so that they are sticking out they fight on the ground we're hearing from the european union that if it is ready to send a humanitarian mission in what you say and 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. brendan o'neil editor of the online political magazine spiked told archie 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 i've called it the barbarism of what we have here a 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 enter a plea for the people of libya the west is going to break from 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 front form former friends of gadhafi former backers of gadhafi they are the people who are going to benefit people who turn their back on gadhafi 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 proud of the people of libya. journalist and author susan lindauer says the coalition's decision to back to rubbles wasn't

properly for gadhafi will never step down he's a fighter to the end and it is seems extraordinary that the opposition forces while they are losing the war we 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 and 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're not highly organized on the battlefield essentially you're going to have to have a ground war to remove gadhafi. over updates on the situation in libya throughout the day check out our chinese polish blog on our website you saw her reporting out the top of the hour from the libyan capital in her latest and she describes the

today violence is once again flared up. these are the images the world has been seeing from the streets of canada. trying to corporations rule today. colonel gadhafi his attack on civilians has prompted condemnation and on the media response from the international community but while the outcry on libya is allowed other conflicts have failed to draw such a reaction and argue against it can reports this is how some leaders to escape punishment for their crimes. this is the warm welcome and firm handshakes for someone who just three years ago gave the order that led to the deaths of civilians in the republic of south the city i am dealing with one of the great leaders of the world the georgian president with his fluent english is

a welcome guest on american t.v. shows where he's never answered the question why in the middle of the night on august the seventh of two thousand and eight a georgia begin the major artillery bombardment of the sleeping city of tskhinval and other peaceful calloused. region which georgia wanted to bring on its control was raced to the ground. hundreds were killed in the attack. as nearly lost his daughter in second street as 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 court for rule crimes but when it comes to me files are extremely even though the e.u. finding mission determined that he started the war two thousand and eight and ordered the 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 join allied forces in afghanistan and became the leading troop contributor relative to georgia's overall population soundless and as this fox. interview 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 clients america's like because based on breaks in the marriage production and more morgan roughly broke through got religion history as a for

a graduation in the restaurant so you now as the world as the cleared 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 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. is 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 pretty like they could benefit the now banned from travel but he's pretty that's not the way politics works the georgian president killed scores of civilians but was exonerated by the west politicians except in the friend business leaders are looking for the best in his country and it's simply why us is happy to continue turning a blind eye to the blood pressure heads i'm going to check our reporting from washington are to. be addressed in the middle east and the crisis in japan have rates volatility on global markets causing fears of another worldwide economic crisis but the dollar sinking against other currencies the resident show host for harshness takes to the streets of new york to find out what people think needs to be done to fix the world's financial order. billionaire investor george soros is holding a conference to be attended by the world's richest and hence most influential

a lot of people are feeling like it's time for the dollar to step down because there's always been animosity of kids to us by. well best. was it jealousy. yeah i do i think a lot 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 back from italy and i got crushed by the. you know thirty percent of the dollars losing weight no matter what we think well look i remember back then i used to go through in the sixty yen to the dollar now it's. hundred eighty. nine for a global monetary system do you think now you've been a are 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.
