during fighting there in the past several days as the government rejects a cease fire. he supports as 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 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 be the first to lay down arms but on the diplomatic trying to psyche just from picture is emerging we are hearing from the country's former prime minister mr abdul actually i agree 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 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 frontline that even some of the most recent data is 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 them up with separate incidents they took a strike hit an ammunitions and lalique 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 issue really that it is very random and

a military operation at will provide humanitarian assistance in the sense of helping to evacuate displaced people and also provide assistance to the humanitarian organizations working here. because off here and see what activist and blogger says that nato is using the same strategy in libya as it did in afghanistan and so. there are certain parallels of course with the beginning stages of the invasion and military operations in afghanistan in october two thousand and one i think they're also astonishing earlobes with all the united states and nato you know conduct of the war against yugoslavia and i think you know you know i'm. a little while ago i mentioned you know sophisticated satellite telephone communication. more advanced weaponry and so forth you know following you know the answer being supplied to insurgent forces in libya and that's you know fully comparable to what the united states and nato did with the so-called possible liberation army in the serbian province of cost of over nine hundred ninety nine

looks like the day on board for military aggression an intervention that the united states and nato. has very limited options and they are going to replay the same scenarios repeatedly for the western powers reserved to themselves the exclusive of waging war whenever wherever and under whichever rejects they choose to do so. yes this town blogger rick ross up there well coming up with plans to arm the libyan rebels come under fire. as if they're getting tighter al qaeda experts say the u.s. will be shooting itself in the words rise of weapons. as the coalition forces continue to impose a no fly zone. concerns that intervention by around europe security experts fear there be an islamic groups or something terror attack saying. airstrikes.

e.u. countries have taken a leading role in forcing the u.n. resolution but their efforts all the way over in libya now threaten to bring conflict right to their very own back doors claim colonel gadhafi now has little other weapons left in his armory overseas terror he's faced repeated accusations that he ordered look at the bombing that killed two hundred seventy mostly westerners experts say some countries are particularly in the firing line three leading countries of the offensive operation that means france in the united states of course the only option yes really is to use terror so i think . it's a clear to imprison better today in the coming days maybe in the coming weeks but backing for and to get that fuel dribbles could backfire further rebel leaders include the libyan islamic fighting group and associates of al qaida and the

casualties mounting every day from allied bombing make fertile recruiting ground for and she western forces and their. agents. working now in libya in that atmosphere of chaos. i am full. e.u. muslims protest against nature's bombing of libya and the organizer says people should prepare for the worst that's certainly there's a very strong likelihood but i think what we do not have the ability that the muslim brotherhood our track they will try to make sure. the invasion of iraq lived through a surge in terror attacks in the e.u. almost two hundred people died in the madrid train bombings in two thousand and four while suicide bombers killed fifty two people in london in two thousand and five officials know dritte similar results in the wake of this campaign western

the lead your leader critics of the us taking sides in a civil war war of the consequences and we help accelerate the chaos. and in creating more chaos we're to we think somehow we're going to be able to direct the outcome it's the same hubris that has visited the united states in iraq and shame hubris that keeps us penya and in afghanistan causes us to believe that somehow we are going to wreck. any outcome in libya we cannot do that nor do we have the right to determine who the leader of libya should be many fear radical forces could take advantage of the chaos in libya former jihadist noman badman who renounces all quiet affiliation in two thousand says he has two mates one thousand jihadists are among the rebels in libya one levy and rebel commander has openly admitted his fighters have links other reports say terrorists seized

libyan surface to air missiles when arsenals were looted nato intelligence reports claim flickers of al qaida and hezbollah have been found among the rebels in libya but maintained there is no reason to believe their presence is significant but a u.s. military study three years ago said lidia's made up the second largest group of jihadists in the world right after saudi arabia all of that seems to be discarded as the u.s. is trying to prop up the opposition in libya as some analysts say in an attempt to forge a relationship with them that would be favorable for the united states in the future but experts say as of now the opposition in libya hardly has a defined face or power these people. will not be able to take control over the situation as soon as the current regime. goes off and that means that somebody else will be. tempted to take over the country and

we know that the only will organize. the world force in the region not in the country but in the region is unfortunately always. some say arming the rebels could backfire we've been in this situation in afghanistan one day we help people and the next day they shoot at us if we are cautious about real or terry intervention to blow back their charm was johnson johnson wrote famously about is sure to happen in libya in afghanistan back in the eighty's the u.s. had a narrow goal to help the mujahideen fight soviet troops subsequently the same militants turned their weapons and training against the u.s. among those of them was osama bin ladin whose group of eventually evolved into al qaida this cannistraro cia and alice is an operations chief in the 1980's says that then the us didn't see the dangers of arming afghan militants know well

so it's easy to scoff and survivors are fed up with the government's failure to rebuild their lives. this is the first time many residents of asian a marquee have seen their houses since the tsunami surged through them look at most a little of value remains but subtle shinji is not trying to salvage material possessions. my house was totally destroyed and my husband died in the tsunami now i'm honoring him by getting his personal things out i just wish everything could go back to how it was. shinji has been housed at the local school with several hundred others people here have been taken turns to volunteer as cooks and cleaners. but the cramped conditions mean that after nearly three weeks the communal spirit is frayne and. we are dissatisfied with your flora she's we know there are a temporary houses that will be put up but who will get them some areas are being

feted over others. the government admits that not a single temporary house has been constructed so far but even when they do finally go up there won't solve the far greater problem. the government excavators are removing the rubble as fast as they can but for the victims of the disaster even those lucky enough to get the temporary housing it will be years before they can come here rebuild their house and call it their home many of the stricken japanese coastal towns live for generations on doing ling fishing and shipping industries livelihoods which no longer exist and there is little hope of ever getting them back to tell us anything the government is good at solving big problems not the ones of the small people i do not think this town will ever be a rebuild as it was even if i restore what i have and no one will build anything next to my house. or the government providing food and temporary shelter was the

relatively straightforward part in helping victims cope with the disaster making sure people have a place and a community to return to will be much more. difficult he grew up now of our team. japan. a large scale counter terror operation russia's caucasus region killed seventeen militants last monday the wife a doctor and assistant of russia's number one terrorist. among the dead experts agree proves there is a high chance of himself was killed as a three have. somebody with. forensic results expected to take several weeks in all three phase operation targeting his close are responsible for a series of attacks in russia started early this year it's also a mission. not a. suicide bomb attack two metro stations a suspect. and most of an integrated special operations.

over ports doing deals with georgia can be a risky business. take one israeli businessman one former soviet republic and a lot of potential profit from oil and gas transit sounds like a winning combination which is exactly why ronnie folks came to new independent georgian one nine hundred ninety one and scored a monopoly on the energy transfer market but the subsequent changes of government saw things done for bigger fish and his investments turned into a loss so he did what any businessman would tip the case to court and one of the difficult part was getting the georgian side to cough up one hundred million u.s. dollars. they started negotiations with. their finest. negotiation they just brought it to. the payment was this not even a month from. you knew. it was just or in the atlantic was he would

go over very informal drinks and an unnamed hotel folks worked out the details with none other than george's deputy finance minister that that airplane restated that one hundred million was not the kind of money georgia can afford to pay out and suggested an alternative five million stay in georgia seventy two folks and everybody's happy so and just a week later the businessman received an invitation from the georgian prime minister he was expecting to collect the dosh but instead was collected himself there was in fact a. cooperation a collaboration between four important ministries the government and probably with the approval of the president of the ministry of finance the ministry of justice the ministry of the interior and the prime minister's office all of which came together with a plan to a broader issue and sharpton now in prison the business when then apparently got

overall cost to his economy could be colossal as not many investors like doing business with people who don't settle debts and film them with hidden cameras newspapers are already full of the potential political and financial consequences to this kind of action and as old as ronnie fox and see if frank will stay in prison some businesses may well decide that this is the kind of georgian hospitality they did not want to invest into. cash as i t v e c ga. more international news in brief now israeli prime minister netanyahu has called on me to cancel the reports of accused forces of committing war crimes. goldstone tracked down claims that israel. israel refused to cooperate.

watching what's going on right now it's announced last night it will stop and she actually just landed on the international space station weeks ago and 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 the rockets work to get to space and how it all isn't working out in the end but very different very different to the spatial in what we do but for to washington and ron jeremy a couple days back to having been there before i had any idea of what i was going to be looking forward to and everything and the space station is such a wonderful huge volume in space the largest volume ever had in history and space and now to be able to look out oh we were talking earlier this to flow into this kind of. a window with sounds of the earth and it just. it 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 doing some good work up there and then and working as international partners to you know anything about living in space you're engaged in a spaceship in the ear very protected you have to be as we as humans can and can't live. in the vacuum of space and very similar to what it's like living out the water you're under pressure you can't just you know walk out the door without special equipment so for the most part i mean in 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 the various habitat water are very comical places to be. to make up is what is what the. you there is your big worry for your beautiful planet below me thank you very much thank you that inside thank you nicole here well. there you are a lot of astronauts cosmonauts and astronauts here right now watching this go

process coming here especially because immediately employ the base happy fiftieth anniversary of you guys first like send a thirtieth anniversary of the office first step to the space shuttle flights so get everyone here very excited seeing all this up close said it was just pretty good for me for i this right now though if it does it's a cheerleader at the moment so we are expecting to see more of the families of the astronauts coming here and event the little boy from french guiana who had designed in the passion of the crew from the expedition twenty seven to die assess it forward so that's what exactly i think that's what the headlines are stay with us. to.
