credit status to negative. about twenty minutes trying. to. world news twenty four hours a day you're watching r.t. leading nato members calling for ground troops in libya even though it's against the u.n. resolution france's foreign affairs chapman's warning the campaign will be cornered without boots on the ground the french public there are unconvinced leaving president sarkozy fighting a new front back home instead of wishing for. 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 watch 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 flooded propaganda relations to their truth we're told the international community is behind us but france just wants africa's resources. this reporter explains how the french government dictates national coverage you will of basically follow our editorial line on foreign policy or you will not be invited or included to come back and ask questions and press conferences and we will have big club 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 opposite 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 board of governors is unpopular. although the media treated. generally quite positive. the invasion of iraq the biggest and she will rallies in history there were experts say libya could become so disease iraq and disappoints government's efforts the truth. thralls these current rules is also coming out the new cultural artsy paris. burn area thousand people have been evacuated from the piers and western city of misrata to the rebel stronghold of benghazi the opposition is struggling to lift a weeks long siege by colonel gadhafi as force since sing me how to no chance of

resisting the help of nato air strikes conn hallinan who writes for foreign policy in focus says china may have no option but to become yet another player china between the middle east and africa draws almost all of its imported well up from this region so if you examine the libya invasion in terms of the role of the us military in the fifth fleet in the persian gulf and the red sea and then african in libya what you see is that five out of the six leading source is of china's oil and gas are under either u.s. sanction or the u.s. military control to put its thumb on the juggler vein so i think you have to see libya less as a particular incident then as a piece on a very global chess board i don't think they expected the united states and britain and france to directly involve involve themselves in the civil war i think what

they decided was they would go with the no fly zone because very difficult to resist one at that time trying to figure out ok what do the no fly zone corneliu and charter eventually to sit down and talk with the people before you move to a military operation in fact not even dry before the french started bombing so i think in a certain sense the chinese catch an awkward into doing next. also ahead for you this hour the forces behind the uprisings urges that the us state are funded organizations principle in the world we hear why there's no cash to fund change in libya. and keeping a terrible european aid carriage talk sends police abroad claims that instead of meeting poverty it's probably not approved regimes. the terminally ill russian prisoner is pleading for their rights to die dr sagan the other organs his

condition is critical and that he can't get the treatment it needs while in jail he's already been told it's amazing it's not an option because it's better than russia that is my philosophy is not to meet him. in at least forty five and he's dying and he's selling dependence diabetic his like sixty can exit in ten months. now oh next blind he can hardly distinguish objects in the backyard of the jail by his second sentence for murder his grandson is transparent and doctors forecasts he want the trees for much longer and need a wheelchair give him a walk i can't live without pain killers. i'm always on drugs. if i didn't take them i'd be unable to get all of. their work a former soldier and war veteran in our geno longer has the energy to fight for life instead of his bitterly fighting for john. kennedy's health has

not always been so bad it deteriorated rapidly after he was 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. to die or to be what else do i need i used to be a man. now look at me. i'm not even half of a man the doctor to help him die is officially forbidden in russia. but when i start asking who could kill who could facilitate a suicide nobody even the most zealous euthanasia supporters of ever said that they would do it themselves because they would become murderers of a good order from the point of view of russian legislation nor from the point of view of international law all effet 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 as 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 a change that as active. as usual will if they know that the rest of their lives will be suffering but the reason to prevent them from doing that especially those sentenced to life in prison and a good many letters from these people they ask for death as life becomes unbearable conditions they are awful so why not. fulginiti a strong offer those deliver euthanasia has been a hard decision and it won't be without its victims on the other side of the reason bars. no i will not allow him to die or i will not. enough his mother can understand what's her son to sick dad which

a country can sell his out with the reality of that decision. if you dies or die with him what would i leave for all who fall. he's still alive but he's waiting wishing for death whether it's natural oh ask. me for an option are two central russia. the e.u. eleven billion euros aid budget has come in for some sharp criticism of waste but is it actions like this helping to buy private jets for tyrants of corrupt regimes your m.p. david campbell burnham it says that you can't control its own budget let alone the money it sends abroad. clearly the system isn't working and i think this report makes very clear but it 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 accounts their course of auditor's you know

found so much fraud in the accounts 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 the e.u. aid actually goes to non-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 for each individual they actually find a job for so there's a huge amount of waste here. russian stock markets are slowly rebounding after both the r.t.s. and the my six suffered the biggest drop in nine months on monday markets across

and highs in the one nine hundred ninety s. a decorated officer he now has to survive on just fifteen u.s. dollars a month so i don't get a pension now and i won't and so i'm sixty five but will i live to see that money we used to have some sort of support the hospital the free treatment social benefits the 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 is unfit to live in here 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 does not alone is like more and more veterans in georgia feel the lack of support from their government but when they try to draw attention to it by calling

a hunger strike they were simply shocked at the way some were even arrested according to officials for refusing to comply with police orders and being under the influence of alcohol. was the most outrage among veterans and the international media was that that those detained got slapped with a two hundred twenty five dollar fine now one of them has that kind of money. for the police came a break up our protest the president drove by he stopped his window looked at us one hour later we were pushed out of the way like we were nothing of a dozen n.g.o.s and human rights groups demanded an official investigation into the actions of the police and the batterings who have already sacrificed so much for a coup. and treat it largely ignores them are being drawn into this war as well. catherine is about r t a c ga. there are plenty more reports of blogs and analysis
