arms but on the diplomatic trying to slightly different picture is emerging we are hearing from the country former prime minister mr abdul actually a baby 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 if we'd 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 costed aide of gadhafi 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 consult stepping down we're hearing from doctors on the frontline and in 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 and what we've been told in what was to put incidents later is strike 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 also hear industry reports coming from the western city of misrata with residents saying in fact the government and soldiers there have intensified their surely that it is very random and that a lot of people are dying here in tripoli the a strikes have continued overnight missiles that were fired in the east and south or east of the city some. landing and get out the compound as is here according to eyewitnesses there was a worse my piece on the building and it was blood on the ground the fighting in the frontline into the ground the town of gregor we are hearing that the rebels are psyche based who organized that they are now stopping the 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 be provided by the international community we're also being told that their bills have water and some new recruitment so that they are sticking up the fight on the ground we're hearing from the european union that if asked it is ready to send 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 the humanitarian organizations working here as opposition forces struggle to hold back soon grow get off the troops are. the reports from the rubble stronghold benghazi uses the opposition doesn't come across as a credible waiting force and struggles even with nato air support. this wreckage behind me is what's left of god after these troops when they try to retake control

of the guardian or stop 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 west of the city it's around two hundred kilometers away from the gaza at the moment the rebels are continually trying to advance to the west towards tripoli and are being backed by nato planes when it comes to these finals 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 neutral sided situation even though there have already been the first that some of the rebels caused by the need to strikes here in benghazi and in the east of libya it's pretty clear that people only way the rebel forces could be effective in fighting going to these troops is with the support of nato. stephen landmen

a radio host and author from chicago tells our team that he believes the allied campaign is illegal and aims to colonize libya. what the security council did was basically part of the rise of the us britain and france to legally attack the nonbelligerent country so the speed council by a way to article fifty whatever your way of sharing it clearly says that no nation me attack another nation except in self defense to security council need not aware in violation of its own child or this war which is what it is it's a hologram by the three causally curates america the main one is the idea is to call another country destroy it because prioritise it in just three days control its resources is full of its people and this war is following the same script and script isn't identical each to our in it is mark twain once said about

mystery it may not repeat exactly but it rhymes some writer in nine hundred two thousand and eleven back in two thousand and three it was much nineteen shock and awe against the rash shock and awe against libya civilians of the gulf we'll hear about civilians civilians of missiles from thirty thousand feet cruise missiles. they don't distinguish between civilians gets to be a lot of people eat but this including the forces of it were of. to get more of a sense of what's happening on the ground in libya check out paullus leaders blog on our website you saw her reporting from tripoli a little earlier her latest post she describes how international journalists have been fighting to establish the truth about a libyan woman who burst into a hotel last week saying she'd been raped by fifteen of gadhafi and then brought on to argue the problem and go to our blog section for more of that.

as the world's attention is fixed on libya events have inspired both angry debate and a few satirical jobs a russian cartoonist has created animated picture of the north african art arrest which became an instant internet hit artie's marina porton i went to meet up. occur to parity starring pigs. birds and r t possibly the best and shortest explanation summarizing the uprisings in tunisia egypt and libya. three big pigs was created by russian illustrator igor i twenty six year old and motivated by technology and politics wanted to do and i

wanted to do. i just looked. towards one of my therapy and. see things going on and then i thought can apply. and i forgot. those things in this three little pigs remake libyan strongman moammar gadhafi and the ousted leaders of tunisia in egypt take the form of green pigs hiding in houses angry bird protesters smashed in ali and mubarak but with libya. this so-called freedom fighters they achieved victory with the support of an american eagle wearing a french half. in less than five days this viral clip has created a global baas and garnered nearly one million hits on you tube says he will likely

make a second video and has already been approached about turning his cartoon into a game colorful metaphors and imagery illustrating the story of revolutions as the world waits to see how the real end game plays out. are to. cut off these attacks on civilians has prompted condemnation and media response from the international community but while the outcry in libya is allowed other conflicts of failed to draw such a reaction as our views got it yeah reports this is help some leaders escape punishment for their crimes. 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 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 a georgia begin the major artillery bombardment of the sleeping city of tskhinvali and other peaceful palestinian by. the region which georgia wanted to bring under its control was raced to the ground. hundreds were killed in the attack. as nearly lost his daughter in second street is 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 crimes but when it comes to make our search for even those 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 dispatched one thousand troops to join allied forces in afghanistan and became the leading troop contributor relative to georgia's overall population of boundless 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 client america's like because it's based on better than their married production and more and more even referred more for you have to be religious to say for regulation of the bastards who 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 the campaign or when israel bombed the gallows it was 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 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 get i think he now

is banned from travel but misprints 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 the trustees heads i'm gonna check out reporting from washington our team. stay with us here on our to you still ahead this hour ready for takeoff we give you inside look at the assembly site of the soyuz spacecraft where we witness final preparations for the large margin the fiftieth anniversary of man's first flight into space klutz. there are times when al gore does place in the world but how do you know but if you want a true russian and when to ferry and to go national park is definitely the place for you. parties closer team explores how our region in russia is year old firmly linked with heavy industry is now turning into a perfect getaway for sport and nature lovers. but first workers are japan stricken

middle east on arrest on the crisis in japan have raised volatility on global markets causing fears of another global economic crisis with the dollar sinking against other currencies resident show host laurie harshness took to the streets of new york to find out what people there 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 people intended 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 repair to a what's already going on which is the governments of long since lost control of the monetary wealth and it's because. corporate.

what i do i'd actually draw a line between the two. corporations and government which right now their 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 the 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 company's working in as well as a lot of people feeling like it's time for the dollar to step down because there's always been animosity against the u.s. why. because we're the best. so is it jealousy. yeah i do i think a lot of people are jealous of what we have we're 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 about from italy and i got crushed by the. you know thirty percent of the dollar's losing weight no matter what we think well look i remember back then i used to get three to six the yen to the dollar now it's maybe a hundred eight so. a global monetary system. can go down that road no matter what you or i think should be done. and to improve the global economy the bottom line is those decisions will always be made by those in the most money. some other stories making headlines across the globe people have been killed in the afghan city of kandahar during a protest over the burning of the qur'an by a pastor in the u.s. dozens more were injured friday a similar protest in the afghan city of mazar e sharif led to the deaths of twelve people including seven workers at the local
