they say that one person was killed and several people were wounded in the early hours of sunday morning when the government forces renewed shelling on a building in the city and we understand from the doctors that and to a few days ago there were a number of civilians being housed inside that building they had been injured in recent clashes between pro and to gadhafi forces but fortunately there had been evacuated before the shelling began we're also hearing from doctors that in the last week alone hundred and sixty people have been killed in misrata itself from these battles gobbing told by doctors that in a month of fighting between six hundred and eight thousand civilians have been killed in the city so if you the rebels have been in control of it for more than a month now what we are seeing increasingly is that the government troops are intensifying michelle and more and more looks likely that the city wolf or to the hands of gadhafi is man ever since the united states handed over command of the military operations here in libya to nato the u.s. has been decreasing the number of combat missions it carries out here we are

hearing from top american military officials that they are also going to begin withdrawing the fighter jets they suddenly leans and the missile ships now this does come across does come against the background of a stalemate in terms of fighting on the ground between those pro and you got the forces around the city of brega in the east of the country it also comes against the backdrop of increasing criticism from within the american president barack obama's own administration over questions in terms of the representation and the capability of those opposition fighters as far as the tripoli government goes that they continue to call this a crusader who they say that these actions are illegal and immoral and they're not voicing movie concerns that in the future they will be the supplying of weapons to these rebel fighters this will soon be followed by training and ultimately end in the deployment of foot soldiers. well washington is considering arming the libyan rebels despite claims. to their ranks. has been talking to supporters in.

recent into this strike that's. the general feeling here in the rebel stronghold confusion a lot of confusion around that incident because according to some reports this attack me or playing for the rebels was caused by. the rebels and opened fire at the planes but other reports suggest that the rebels were celebrating and began shooting into the air just confusing the pilots and also true. to react back but i can tell you that judging by the poor level of organization and training of the rebel fighters both versions are possible because the rebels have been seen arguing and even fighting among themselves al gore on the front many are teenagers who don't have any experience in combat and there

is even speculation and lots of rumors of egypt and the united states and we see we training the rebels there on the front and also rumors of cia secret agents may be operating there as well trying to organize rubbles when it comes to. the forces there are much better trained they're much better equipped and apparently there is much more of them according to some figures the forces at the moment is around one to ten meaning one rebel fighter against then. so the general understanding here in benghazi is that the only way the rebels could be successful is support from nato. the international community permitted intervention in libya to protect civilians from colonel qaddafi but washington wants to go further than that and is considering arming the rebels while

officially denying that toppling khadafi is the objective of its involvement in libya but broadening our military mission to include regime change would be a mistake president obama has reportedly signed his secret order authorizing covert american support for rebel forces seeking to oust the lead in later critics of the u.s. taking sides in a civil war warn of the consequences or we help accelerate the chaos. and in creating more chaos we're we think somehow we're going to be able to directly outcome it's the same hubris that has visited the united states in iraq the same hubris that keeps us penya in afghanistan causes us to believe that somehow we are going to wreck events and the 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 jihadists know my benjamin who we now says all kind of asian in two thousand says he estimates one thousand jihadists are among the rebels in libya one lady and rebel commander has openly admitted his fighters have all the 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 the u.s. military studies 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 you know the villain will organize. world force in the region not in the country but in the region is unfortunately some say arming the rebels could backfire we've been in a situation in afghanistan one day we help people and the next day they shoot at us if we aren't cautious about military intervention so blow back her charm was johnson and johnson wrote famously about is sure to happen in libya in afghanistan back in the eighty's the u.s. had in their own goal to help the mujahideen fight soviet troops subsequently the

plotting terror attacks in revenge for strikes. e.u. countries have taken the lead 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 i list claim colonel gadhafi now has little other weapons left in his armory that oversees terror he's faced repeated accusations that he ordered lockerbie bombing that killed two hundred seventy mostly westerners and experts say some countries are particularly in the firing line three leading countries of the offensive operation that means from. united states of course the only. really is to use their right so i think. it's a clear cut in prison ventra today in the coming days in the coming weeks but e.u.

others. the government admits that not a single temporary house has been constructed so far but even when they do finally go up they won't solve the far greater problem. the government excavators are moving the rubble as fast as they can but a lot of victims of the disaster even those lucky enough to get the temporary housing it will be years before they can come here rebuild the house and call a home many of the stricken japanese coastal towns relied for generations ling fishing and shipping industries livelihoods which no longer exist and there is little hope of ever getting them back. the government is good at solving big problems not the ones of a 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. but the government providing food and shelter was

a relatively straightforward part in helping victims cope with it disaster making sure people have a place and a community to return to will be much more difficult. now see. japan. large scale counter-terror of russia's caucuses killed seventeen militants last monday right doctor in the system. terrorist. densified among the dead experts agree this proves it. chants of honor of himself was killed as a treat relating to the full sunlight some of the bodies have not yet been identified and forensic results expected to take several weeks and multi-phase operational targeting will modified has been a circle or stones of a series of deadly attacks in russia started earlier this year the results of the mission were released as a year since the double suicide bomb attack on two of its major stations all the suspects behind the atrocity have been identified instead of killed in special

it's. several months ago to get an eagle and her husband palestinian engineer did i will see see first from gaza to her nature of ukraine they were looking for a peaceful life far from the constant hostilities of the middle east you are even chose to leave behind a very good job with a purpose my husband was deputy director of the only power station in gaza he's a very highly qualified engineer and received an immensely high salary by local standards. but their relief did not last long one evening i was c.c. boarded and overnight train for quite a few clear to meet his brother i will see if he was sound asleep when in the middle of the night two men walked into his compartment and asked him to provide his id the man refused to do so and the next moment they handcuffed the palestinian and removed him from the train journey because says she has no doubt it was a kidnapping plotted by israel's intelligence service the must start with mobile and i received

a text message from him the next day he said that he needs to not allow and is going to saudi arabia i knew it wasn't his style he never uses words and. when many called you and you crazy in the following few weeks while her husband's whereabouts were unknown until israel's prime minister confirmed all this time the man had been behind bars in an israeli prison and i will sue sue is. nuts and we arrested him for chords up with. the family. but one question arises if the arrest was indeed legitimate why has ukrainian special services been left in the dark about the operation the school brought. not a single intelligence service turned to us to assist in arresting a criminal and received no notification of any special operation either by. experts say in special operations between the intelligence of two countries a suspect is routinely arrested and deported otherwise the procedure. breach is
