stepping overnight in libya a french official calls for ground troops but suckers these biggest battle is convincing his own people. live and let die a critically ill russian convict needs to end his own life officials undermanned and lazy is not an option. and veterans in georgia are saying they can have bandied about a country they want for many on able to afford basic necessities even those struggling to survive on charity.

twelve noon here in the russian capital you're watching r.t. i'm kerry johnston a leading nato member is calling for ground troops and libya even though it's against a u.n. resolution for instance from the first chapter is warning the campaign recorded without boots on the ground and french a public that was unconvinced meeting president sarkozy fighting a new front back home as any additional reports. france is now fighting in three wars the first foreign states to go into libya the laws just force in ivory coast civil war and this just sent more troops to afghanistan but supports 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 were being ferried propaganda gears no relations to the truth were told the international

community is behind us but france just wants africa's resources and not only this reporter explains how the french government dictates national coverage you will basically follow our editorial line by line on foreign policy or you will not be invited or included to come back and ask questions at press conferences and we will not be there with you when you seek interviews but if you turn to the internet the view of president sarkozy's policies a much more critical fridge people are growing increasingly worried about their country being labeled as imperialist with little regard for its victims or positions of 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 thousands of french soldiers and thousands of civilians killed is finally hitting home war in afghanistan is

unpopular. although the media treated. quite positive. the invasion of iraq brought the biggest and she will rallies in history there were experts say libya could become soccer's easy rot and disappoints government efforts the truth on france's current wars is also coming out don't you see paris. nearly a thousand people have been evacuated from libya's western city of misrata to the rebel stronghold of benghazi proposition is struggling to lift a weeks long siege by colonel gadhafi forces saying they have no chance of resisting about the help of nato air strikes journalist russian returned since there could also be another player involved china is part of this equation that worrying washington it's a rather more than european union leaders but definitely one of only as

a look at khartoum to see chinese investment in africa and get their free was one person who for all is privatization and. suddenly coming back to the western fold he still didn't like african 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 chinese 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 as if we make threats that we don't follow through on. also ahead for you this hour the forces behind the uprisings. states volatile and isolation sponsored revolts in arab world we hear why there is no rush to find change to be. keeping a terrible european aid cash book sense of billions abroad claims that instead of beating women to its propping up crude regimes. but terminally ill russian the prisoner is pleading for the right to die doctors say can i think minsky's condition is critical that he can't get the treatment interest which he needs while in jail he's already been told you can days or is not an option because it's banned in russia griffin national has been to meet and. canady spotify and he's dying and he's in the independent static he's like sixty connects

in ten months. now almost blind he can hardly distinguish objects in the backyard of the jail where his second sentence for america is going to understand and doctors for ass he want me the trace much longer you need a real champ. in your i can't live without pain killers what are you here for i'm always on drugs if you have heard before i didn't take them i'd be unable to walk at all or be. a former soldier and war veteran cannot be no longer has the energy to find her life instead is bitterly fighting for. and that is health has not always been so bad a deteriorated rapidly after he was put behind bars in two thousand and seven he was sentenced to eighteen years in prison in other needs specialized treatment and care something he just cannot get here and to die for felicia

what else do i need i used to be a man with you now look at me you give them all i'm not even half of them. had doctor to help him die is officially forbidden in russia for sure but when i start going who could kill who could facilitate a suicide nobody even the most zealous euthanasia supporters ever said that they would do it themselves because they were commercial as if they did order from the point of view of russian legislation from the point of view of international law that norms can euthanasia be justified also. there is a huge debate and whether terminal patients have the rights to and their own life to escape chronic pain as against euthanasia and they are the majority claim among other things that even hopeless. he says can sometimes be the recklessly he'll let a voice from behind bars where miracles rarely happen may change their perspective

sure children will do all 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. forget ninety a strong off the liver 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 as a lawyer i will not. enough his mother can understand what's pushed her son to sick that she can trick and silence out with the reality of that decision. if you don't rise or die with him what would i leave for all who fall. is still alive but he's waiting wishing for death whether it's natural all and asked.

me if not now to some traction. the use eleven billion that you are eight but it has come in for some sharp criticism of waste and accusations that it's helping to buy private jets for tyrants of corrupt regimes here and david campbell development so that you can't control its own budget without having the money it sends a board. clearly the system isn't working and i think this report makes very clear . but there is no surprise i mean from our point of view here you have the european union for sixteen years in a row they haven't signed off their own account because of auditor's you know found so much fraud in their tails they can't even sign them off so it's not a surprise that you know there's a allegations of private jets being bought by certain country leaders shortly after 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 a third of these actually goes to non-chord 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 a. job creation scheme is costing one point five million pounds for each individual they actually find a job for thorough there's a huge amount of waste here. russian stock markets are slowly rebounding after both the r.t.s. and the buy six of the biggest drop in nine months on monday markets across the world lone star ratings agency oh it was only down to negative the first time since two stunning as well as into a battle that will result the country's spiraling debt level the dow jones index ended more than one percent down. in stocks all certain that on monday we mourn how

the markets are bearing up today you know business but it's an interest. if you're prepared to die for your country or else to give expect a country to turn its back on it but for many veterans in georgia the thanks they get is an income of just fifteen dollars a month in this country as are the reports of the soldiers try to protest they felt the full force of the. there are memorials like these all over the world set up to honor all those who fought for their countries a sign of respect and remembrance but many of the veterans here in georgia feel that they have been completely forgotten captain bayley and sons or went through the war in our hands in the one nine hundred ninety s. and decorated officer he now has to survive just fifteen dollars a month so i don't get a pension now and i won't and so on sixty five what will i live to see that money we used to have some sort of support the hospital the free treatment social

benefits but big old got taken away in two thousand and five and i got fired in two thousand and three with no explanation whatsoever. lives in a house that he claims isn't fit to live in yet to send his family away because he can't provide them with food. or my house has no gas no running water i can't pay for any of it i can't get a job the only reason i'm still alive is because of my friends i live in what they can. and their leader is not alone is like more and more veterans in georgia feel the lack of support from their government when they try to draw attention to it by calling a hunger strike they were simply share. some or even arrested according to officials who are refusing to comply with police orders and being under the influence of alcohol who will cause the most outrage among staff there and and the international media was the fact those detained got slapped with a two hundred twenty five dollar fine not one of them as that kind of money. for

the police came of break up our protest the president drove by he stopped load his window looked at us one hour later we were pushed out of the way like we were nothing but a dozen n.g.o.s and human rights groups demanded an official investigation into the actions of the police and the gatherings who have already sacrificed so much for a cause. treat it largely ignores them are being drawn into this war as we started talking about characters are about r t b c georgia. but there are plenty more blogs reports on in the us it's just a click away at r.t. dot com it's a taste of just some of the stories we have one line for you a former u.s. marine that gives a view from the inside the real effect on americans fighting foreign campaigns and watch artie's new show from adam kokesh the steps of travel oh. god they've got their trunks parked and on coming back

let's cross over to the business now and then your ear. thanks carrie this is business r.c. hello and welcome to the program the russian markets that's going to be rebounding from yesterday's losses after plunging almost four percent on monday that's after standard and poor's cut the u.s. economic outlook from stable to negative over the country's parting debts the u.s. markets lost over a percent by the end of trading on monday. as the story in new york. here in midtown manhattan is possibly the best view of america's ugliest economic state right back there is the u.s. debt clock ticking away above fourteen point five trillion dollars and that is the reason why leading credit agency standard and poor's downgraded.

too negative the first time since world war two that the u.s. long term credit outlook has been downgraded to negative now all of this is happening because us and he says they are concerned over the u.s. government's ability to agree on top has consolidated plan to reduce the u.s. budget deficit now of course this speaks to the landscape of american politics these days where policymakers lawmakers democrats and republicans are butting heads over every issue regarding finances now all parties agree that the u.s. is spending too much money they just can't agree on where to cut their spending from now we've seen in europe how austerity measures have been put in place social programs have been cut taxes have been increased but here in the us the republicans refuse to take such measures of the democrats so. strong enough to push through those measures now this is dead as it is rising markets continue to be concerned if

they remain concerned if that concern gets even deeper there is a chance that the u.s. dollar can lose its value which would pursue protégé another financial collapse in the u.s. and possibly that could spread throughout the world reporting from it's how many. archie new york. i'm looking further down the road pizza vesna home pentacle explains what will happen to measuring markets in the u.s. that situation worse. the general trend before this was that people were moving back into emerging market we're going to be moving into the lot more to the last couple of months they were not moving back into emerging markets russia had been the biggest performer in seems to be the people rotating within russia out of energy into other sectors and also there seems to be some indications that. we've got a school it's only through other other markets should the story develop and the cheering

in the u.s. all bets are off the table if you could murder markets is an asset class will become my chair away from that again but i also do believe you will see a future support for development because it will be other assets currencies forms that would be at the forefront and again if this consideration of ten years. let's have a look at this stock market reaction on the news from a year shares so significant losses with the energies that are facing and across the board who are coming because they're also in the work of foreigners with honda down around one point three percent well two years has dropped nearly two percent. the european stocks open high old shoes there after heavy selling in the previous trading sessions luxury groups are in focus following some trading update burbery that more than six percent after it reported a thirty percent rise in the second revenue and a positive full year profit outlook because shares are high after a new car registration and some growth in march in germany and france. and russia
