that you're watching arts he will live from moscow welcome to the program there's the clearest indication yet that foreign forces are eager to get ground troops in libya even though it's expressly forbidden by the u.n. resolution france's foreign affairs chairman is warning the campaign will call it doubt on the ground the french public there are unconvinced meeting president sarkozy fighting a new front back home town bushel of what's. france is now fighting in three wars the first four states to go into libya the lol just falls in ivory coast civil war and this just sent more troops to afghanistan but what's the french media and this is what you get the americans are responsible for the rising civilian death toll and there's no mention of the french contingency the locals welcomed their western liberators with open arms. we're being for propaganda

relationship to the truth we're told the community is behind us but france just wants africa's resources. this reporter explains how the french government dictates national coverage you wolf basically follow our editorial line on foreign policy or you will not be invited or included to come back and ask questions or press conferences and we will not be cooperate with you when you seek interviews but if you turn to the internet the view of president sarkozy's policies a much more critical french people are growing increasingly worried about their country being labeled as imperialist with little record for its victims opposition to the war centers on the rising number of casualties and the damage it does to france's reputation activists say france's media coverage is one sided but the real story will eventually get through after almost a decade of war in afghanistan news of the dozens of french soldiers and thousands

of civilians killed is finally hitting home war in afghanistan popular. although the media treat it. quite positive. the invasion of iraq the biggest and she will rallies in history there were experts say libya could become so because iraq and disappoints government's efforts the truth on france's current wars is also coming out. of c. paris. in the libya's western city of misrata nearly a thousand people have been evacuated from the rebel stronghold the opposition is struggling to lift a weeks long siege by colonel gadhafi forces saying no chance of resisting the help of nato airstrikes journalist russian writer and c says their rules and me another player in. china is part of this equation that worrying washington it's a rather more than european union leaders but definitely one of only have to look

at khartoum to see trainee's investment in africa and get out he was one person who for all his privatization and later suddenly coming back to the western fold he still didn't like africa only american defense network in germany regarding africa some people would say that china ironically has some some colliding ambitions as it were when it comes to libya because bahrain and saudi are currently in the throes of demonstrations not covered on western corporate media and ironically china needs a stable saudi arabia and bahrain for its own energy needs so u.s. interests and trainees interests are one in the same to a degree according to one national security agency advisor to donal and he said the reason we went into libya one factor was we had we could no longer be leader and it

would look to iran is if we make threats that we don't follow through on. there with r t r live from moscow on the way keeping a tab on european aid cash the book sends the news abroad about their claims that instead of meeting honestly it's propping up crude regimes from. different urges that the u.s. state voted organizations sponsored goals in the arab world we hear why there's an impression upon change in libya that's coming up. a terminally ill russian prisoner is pleading for the rights to die but to say that i think once again his condition is critical now to combat the treatment and desperately needs while in jail and he's already been told that there is it is not an option because it's a burden russia but it is worth an option there has been to meet him. in at least

forty five and he's done. and it's an independence diabetic his last sixty killings in ten months. now own mind he can hardly distinguish objects in the backyard of the jail where he's serving his sentence for murder his gangrenous legs heritage and doctors forecasts he want we've crossed trees much longer if you leave the room chair because. you're paying the bill. but what about anybody. if you board here it's. a baseball. and foremost soldier and war veteran can argue no longer has the energy to fight for a life when instead his specially fighting for draft. is not his health has not always been so bad he deteriorated rapidly after he was put behind bars in two thousand and seven he was sentenced to eighteen years in prison canady needs specialized treatment and care something he just cannot get here.

often because from. your bullshit all of your career but if you're going to pull children. what's going addie's calling for a doctor to help him die is officially forbidden and not popular in russia before. when i started in who could kill who could facilitate a suicide nobody even the most zealous euthanasia supporters very said that they would do it themselves because they would become murderers if they did noida from the point of view of russian legislation nor from the point of view of international law or ethic norms can euthanasia be justified. there is a huge debate on whether terminal patients have the rights to and their own life to escape chronic pain there is against euthanasia and they are the majority claim among other things that even hopeless cases can sometimes be the recklessly hailed

but a voice from behind bars where miracles rarely happen may change their perspective . as usual if they know that the rest of their lives will be suffering was the reason to prevent them from doing that especially those sentenced to life in prison and that many letters from these people they ask for death as life becomes unbearable conditions there are after all so why not. fogy ninety a strong orthodox believer euthanasia has been a hard decision and it won't be without its victims on the other side of the prison bars. no i will not allow him to die i will not. deny his mother can understand what's pushed her son to sick dad that she can't reconcile herself with the reality of their decision. if you guys are die with him or what would i leave or who fall. in id is still

receiving this kind of the u.s. aid the whole thing is a mess it needs discipline i think it's better done by nation states but of the two thirds of these actually goes to normal poor countries i mean the biggest recipient is turkey which is doing pretty well economically and a lot goes missing i mean some is going to terrorist groups like hamas in palestine and you've got incredible figures like in mali where job creation scheme is costing one point five million pounds each individual they actually find a job for so there's a huge amount of waste here. there are plenty more reports of blogs out analysis just a click away at r.t. dot com here's a taste of just some of the stories we cover of life in. india a former u.s. marine it was the view from the inside of the real facts on the ground poles fighting for long term tanks what's artie's new show. the steps of capitol hill.
