so cool because it's all of the in all of the in. those holes. in the really in control it's so boring sure to find this piece of the first or a book all sure can pinsky switzer till closing the whole built in let me let's go golden eagle teco to the. libyan government there's no cease fire from the opposition saying it would be mad to take its soldiers out of cities where the pricing and policy here in the capital city of tripoli join me in a few moments and i'll bring you more. about as western states insisting that colonel gadhafi pay for attacking civilians we examine how global powers seem to turn a blind eye to similar crimes in other countries. also a satirical view of the rest of the middle east a russian cartoonist parody on the fall of two arab leaders and efforts to topple referred to create quite a stir on the internet plus. people on the news like to call those those

direct our soldiers that. people are human beings workers of japan's fukushima nuclear power plant are fighting to stop radioactive water leaking into the pacific under extreme conditions activists are calling it in human. midnight right now here in moscow welcome if you just joined us this is our t.v. my name is kevin though in our top story this nato says it's investigating reports of at least thirteen libyan rebels killed in a coalition air strike some sources suggest that the strike came after a program the fighter joined the group and opened fire at allied planes meanwhile the country's government rejected rebel calls for a ceasefire artie's paullus lee has got the latest. 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 to tripoli itself 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 be the first to lay down arms but on the diplomatic front just like he just one picture is emerging we are hearing from the country from the prime minister mr. baby that the lines of communication have been opened and that they're hoping to intensify them they said 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 civil high ranking libyan officials we know that just on wednesday mohammed ismail who is a custard aide of gadhafi son was in london he was trying to organize what we

understand some kind of exit strategy for the gadhafi family but landed insisting that any kind of deal any kind of settlement plan would have to include gadhafi himself stripping down 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 to put incidents nature is strike hit an ammunitions lorry 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 that the government and soldiers there have intensified their shelling that it is very random and a lot of people are dying here in tripoli the air strikes have continued overnight there were missiles that were fired in the east and south reste of the city started

. landing and get up is compound as is here according to eyewitnesses there were snipers on the building and it was blood on the ground the fighting in the frontline into the ground the town of greater we are hearing that the rebels are slightly better organized than they are now stopping the inexperienced young fighters who've shown themselves to feet 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 staff i phones in the form of radios these have no doubt be provided by the international community we're also being told that the rebels have water and some new report meant that they are stepping up the fight on the ground we are hearing from the european union that if asked it is ready to stand a humanitarian mission it will essentially hold a not a military operation that will provide humanitarian assistance in the sense of hoping to evacuate displaced people and also provide assistance to humanitarian organizations working here such as poor sleep was

a position forces struggled to hold back advancing program after troops out he could not fit in the rebel stronghold of big ghazi he says the opposition don't come across as a credible fighting force and struggle even with nato air support. this wreckage behind me is what's left of god after his troops when they try to retake control of you've got your start right here at the entrance to the city and a similar picture can be seen throughout the entire way from bin ghazi to the front to the worst of the city it's around two hundred kilometers away from the guardian at the moment the rebels are continuing to try to work fast blast that's more tripoli and are being backed by nato planes when it comes to these fighters themselves a lot of them are teenagers with a k forty seven's who have neither the training or the experience of real combat out there on the front at the moment it's quite true sided situation even though there have already been the first that some of the

rebels caused by the needs of strikes here in benghazi and in the east of libya it's pretty clear that the only way the rebel forces could be a factor for help in fighting going to these troops is with the support of nato stephen leatherman radio host and also from chicago tell me the allied campaign is illegal in ngs to colonize libya. well the security council here was basically authorized the u.s. britain and france to legally attack a nonbeliever in country so that the new council by awaiting article fifty one of the u.a.e. cherish it clearly says that no nation me attack another nation except in self-defense to security council need not to act in violation of its own child or this war which is what it is it's a hologram by the three called illiterates america the main one is the idea is

to colonize another country destroy it out of course privatized industry use control its resources we split its people in this war is following the same script the script isn't identical each time but its mouth when one said above mystery it may not repeat exactly but if it were i see my train nine hundred two thousand older than back in two thousand and three it was much nineteen shocking are against the rash shock and awe against libya civilians are being given no surprise we don't hear about civilians so billions of missiles from thirty thousand feet cruise missiles bombs whatever they don't distinguish between civilians gets they'll be a lot of people but this including the forces of it grow. well get more of an idea of what's happening on the ground in libya check our policy is blog on a website you saw reporting from tripoli just

handshakes for someone who just three years ago gave the order that led to the deaths of civilians in the republic of south 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 asked the question why in the middle of the night on august the seventh of two thousand and eight the georgia begin the major artillery bombardment of the sleeping city of tskhinval and other peaceful palace nearby. the region which georgia wanted to bring under its control was razed to the ground . hundreds were killed in the attack. nearly lost his daughter in soccer bombings she was visiting relatives in one of the towns in the south the city and 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 me even though the e.u.

finding mission determined that he started to worry 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 it's 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 a 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 the boundless and is this what's new. shows almost unstoppable praise of

the u.s. is also believed to have played a role in the west's according saakashvili no matter what his clients america's like because it's based on great american archer and more or even rougher it more through go through the elders of history as a for a graduation of the bastard so you 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 to the 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 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 pretty like they could definitely be now banned 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's into the grass is happy to continue turning a blind eye to the blood of these heads i'm going to check out reporting from washington r.t. . and still ahead ready for takeoff an inside look at the assembly of the soyuz spacecraft where we witness final preparations for the launch marking the fiftieth anniversary of its first flight into space for you then also this. to. their

not not soldiers like as director these people are human beings so there's a voluntary and very often also with with very nasty mysteries in their own family life because of the tsunami are still overcoming that and working with all their best to to to overcome very difficult for themselves yes they do need they do really need to need to get the circumstances a little support i think what we see is that not everybody that i'm glad we believe should have been evacuated has been evacuated syria still in the twenty to thirty kilometers or a large group of people that are advised to stay indoors they're you know really indoors for three weeks and that is not a very easy way to actually live plus the fact that a few days ago when we can go we found to be radiation levels in the village of. really high in last to two hundred people evacuated there the i.a.e.a.

can. firm that last wednesday but smith drew the employees again today these people with those kind of conflicting advice from all kinds of solids they get extra inches and i think it would be better really to get those people out in a place where they can relax where they do not have to be scared of anything that could happen to department and keep in mind series at the malls everything are we still have the aftershock and you talk about aftershocks four point eight five five point zero five point five yesterday still very very heavy are shorts and every time it's complete new emergencies in the college station those people are only enormous strides as john have a camp a clear power expert for greenpeace talked a bit earlier about the ongoing crisis and power plant. preparations for the takeoff of a soyuz spacecraft are in full swing at the baikonur cosmodrome with the rocket now installed in the launch pad indeed of choose they will blast off celebrating the upcoming fiftieth anniversary of humankind's first journey to the stars of his test

for a series that launch sites and has got some fresh first impressions too from a cosmonaut that is just back from orbit. the we're here at the a launch pad the baikonur cosmodrome we're actually watching right now. they're moving the rocket for the exit expedition twenty seven cars on the position to the vertical position very interesting to see this whole process will surely be watching what's going on right now it's announced the astronaut will spot and she actually just landed on the international space station weeks ago this is the first time looking at this process particularly what do you think about it i think it's it's pretty impressive it's really neat to see. how differently to what it's worth to get to space shuttle as it were found in the end but very different very different from the space shuttle and what we do but for to watch my friend run care and load up in a couple days so back to space having been there before i had you know an idea of

what i was going to be looking forward to and everything and this is a station such a wonderful huge volume in space the largest all you would ever have in history and space. now to be able to look out oh we were talking earlier this couple of window this kind of. a window that looks down to the earth it's just. there really it's a very emotional thing to i think that. you know you see your own planet from space you're experiencing floating around in microgravity to exhibit work up there i think and working as international partners to you know anything about living in space or in your disposition in the ear very protected you have to be because we as humans can and can't live on earth in the vacuum of space and very similar to what it's like living underwater you're under pressure you can't just you know walk out the door without special equipment so for the most part you know the entire time you're there you're thinking about things like you know what do i need to do to protect myself in this given environment and fortunately the space station and me

at various houses have water are very comfortable places to be. and they got this with this without. you know it should be the reason for your view of the planet you know hearing what i think you and i think you may call you will hear you now there are a lot of action are so common i cannot see right now watching the slow process coming here especially because immediately important dates how unique it had for security guards first flight and the thirtieth anniversary of the us the first space shuttle flights so get everyone here very excited seeing all this up close said it was pretty good for this right now a lot chilly at the moment so we are expecting to see more of the families of the astronauts coming here and even be looking for from french guiana who had to sign up in the passion of the crew of the expedition twenty seven to die it sounds. really exciting time for space fans in artie's terms for us it will be keeping track of all the latest on our trip in the war but including

there investor george soros is holding a conference to be attended by the world's richest and hands most influential people up the agenda to reform the global monetary system how do you fix the world's economy this week let's talk about that well number one they're not trying to figure out how to fix the economy they're trying to reply to a what's already going on which is the governments of long since lost control of the monetary wealth and it's become. corporate. so. what i do i actually draw 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 the businesses the society as well so if that becomes your

economic standard then you're improving not only the company's and other global economy but the. 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 against the u.s. by. because we're the best. because it tells. you i think a lot of people chose what we were a free country you can come from nothing and make a million dollars. but you have opportunity i just about middle i got crushed by the. thirty percent thirty dollars losing weight no matter what we think you know what i remember back when i used to go through in a sixty year end to the dollar now it's maybe hundred eight. times a global monetary system now you know you're a socialist. no matter what you or i think should be done to improve the global

economy the bottom line is those decisions will always be need by those the most money for better or worse. i'm all for the president next week when i come to work new stories and briefed of bleach about nine people have been killed in the afghans if you count your protest over burning of the qur'an by a pastor dozens more injured there on friday a similar protest in the afghan city of mazar e sharif led to the deaths of seven work with the local u.n. office. gunfire explosions have been heard of the presidential palace in ivory coast main city of abidjan as the country struggle for power at least eight hundred people have been reported killed in violence in the city of ukraine this week fighters backing the u.n. recognized leader alison overtire of pressing the offensive against the incumbent president there said of seize the king the country's capital. no change

that there's more to life. in places such as this one start to attract thousands of people. i love is a businessman who on a whim invested most of his capital into building resorts near the national park the russians generally prefer to hit the slopes in europe alexandra ten says the number of visitors to his resort grows every season with used the word go to the alps and you love it but you come back here because it's home and it's just two hours from moscow by claim. 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 rudd because it's in places like this you really do relax you get away from the thoughts 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
