credit status to negative and more join business to you in twenty minutes time. a very warm welcome see this is our right from the stay with me are now leaving name calling for ground troops in libya even though it's against the u.n. resolution france's foreign affairs chairman is one of the campaign will be calling it without boots on the ground but the french public they were all on convince leaving president sarkozy financing a new front runner stan aubuchon. says no fourteen three was the first for a state to go into libya the law just feels. and it's just more troops to afghanistan which the fridge midi. 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 relations 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 will basically follow your editorial 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 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 fridge people are growing increasingly worried about their country being labeled as imperialist with little regard 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 born of god. treated. the invasion of iraq brought the biggest and she will really easy in history there were experts say libya could become so is easy rot and despoiled government's efforts the truth on frosty's current wars is also coming out the new bush will see paris. as well sign is a significant. from the conflict region analysts say beijing.

american competition spreading across africa with. the. world economy and it's an absolute relations many thanks. now libya is a strategic location for china with billions worth the investment there being present risk was a lot of leverage do you think that beijing actually held there to protect its economic and. has already invested march into africa especially into north africa and libya. united states sources as much as agents train should billion dollars have already been made by. chinese companies know about six thousand chinese citizens. their life is being put at risk. trying to recreate these people.

history you know if you talk about policy or china towards the whole situation china has always advocated no involvement policy which has always been more a myth than a political reality but it has proven to be very useful while dealing with oppressive regimes. criticising imperialist united states and european countries when necessary but what we see now is a general change of policy and. china is going to play a more active role as we see americans trying to remove chinese competition from many regions with all south asia i'm middle east and africa not all north africa but also central africa which is region resources so china has quite a lot of. options to clear all force through. of course military once

we know that china is the major creditor of the united states and the financial rating of united states what's changed it has been changed so i guess that china has needs quite a lot of levers still to influence the situation both economic and political. diplomatic cables for the cons lights on have suggested that the u.s. may have. regime change in syria what do you think washington's ultimate goal is in the region so you know the ultimate goal of washington in the region is to change. regimes with even more apply intrusions or regimes. changed in egypt or the contras they were quiet. states but no obama's administration. has. this many

countries including russia including china first of all they feel that their interests are being threatened because of these regimes are going to be more loyal to the united states and are not likely to fulfill. all the commitments of the other you have to understand the syria he's a very close to ram and. the situation in libya current sufficiently the center very clear a clear message to iran don't trust europeans don't trust united states has no way to protect the sovereignty but to go ukraine but as you say syria does have very strong economic ties with foreign forces. in syria would you like inflame. you know until recently i heard a strong feeling that until recently there was no consensus in toronto about whether to go nuclear or not so they were going to develop nuclear capability but they're not sure they need. but what we see now you know

a bomb was administration is sending a clear message to iran you have to go nuclear there's no other way there's no other way to protect it and as you know. told many times the united states will not tolerate a nuclear iran or united states is likely to get involved into force in the twenty first century against the strait is pretty dangerous the whole region can be put in flames. of world economy and international relations many. they still have for you this hour the forces behind the prize in that emerges u.s. stick funded organization sponsored of all this in the arab world we hear why there's a cash to follow change in libya. that he gets hard on european aids house the blocks that billions of boards but there are claims that it is easing of this

poverty it's probably hard for the regime as. i turn very ill russian president is pleading for the right to die doctors they get another woman's these conditions critical of the card at the chip that he desperately needs was in jail or he's already been sold euthanasia is not an option because around here in russia and russia has had to meet him. cannot east forty five and he's dying and insulin dependent diabetic has lost sixty canapes in ten months now only blind he can hardly distinguish objects in the backyard of a child by his syrian sundin's for murder his gangrenous lies heritage and doctors forecasts he won't need crosstrees much longer he'll need a wheelchair. i can't live without pain. i'm always on drugs. if i didn't take them i'd be able to be good all.

and foremost saugor and war veteran kennedy no longer has the energy to find for a life when instead his bitterly fighting for death. in that his health has not always been so bad he deteriorated rapidly after he was behind bars in two thousand and seven he was sentenced to eighteen years in prison cannot he needs specialized treatment and care something he just cannot get here. to die or. what else do i need i used to be a man. now look at me i'm not even half of a man a doctor to help him die is officially forbidden in russia therefore. when i start seeing who could kill who could facilitate a suicide nobody even the most zealous euthanasia supporters 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 had the right 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 healed but a voice from behind bars where miracles rarely happen may change their perspective . 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 awful so why not. foggy night a strong orthodox deliver 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. cannot is marty can understand what's pushed her son to sick. but she can't reconcile herself with the reality of their decision. if she dies i die with him what would i leave for all who fall. in ninety nine but he's waiting wishing for death whether it's national. party. he use eleven billion year aid budget has come in for some sub criticism of waste and accusations that it's helping to buy private jets of corrupt regimes here ahead in the davis cup or balances the e.u. cull and troll it's a. sense of all. this system isn't working 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 order to you know so much fraud in their cars 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 our paltry two thirds of these actually goes to non-poor countries i mean the biggest recipient is turkey which is doing pretty well economically a lot goes missing i mean sam is going to terrorist groups like hamas in palestine and you've got incredible figures i can. job creation. schemas costing one point five million pounds for each individual they actually provide a job for so there's

a huge amount of waste here. if you're prepared to die for your country the last thing you'd expect a country to tell its corny but the many veterans in georgia all the things that they get is an income of just fifteen dollars a month happening as out of reports on the soldiers tried to protest they felt the full force of the dole. 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 are went through the war now has 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 until 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 to send his family away because he can't provide them with food. lot of them 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. or even arrested according to officials for refusing to comply with police orders and being under the influence of alcohol. is the most outrageous monster of veterans and the international media was the fact those detained got slapped with a two hundred twenty five dollar fine not one of them has that kind of money. for the police came and broke 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 doesn't n.g.o.s and human rights groups demanded an official investigation into the actions of the police and those that are ins have already sacrificed so much for the. treatment largely ignores them are being drawn into this war with. cancer you know servant r t e c ga there are plenty more reports blogs and ours is just a click away at ours in dot com if it tastes of some of the stories there are moments. us go green it's the view from the inside of the real effect on american spies and foreign companies for charles's new show from alan cortez from the steps of capitol hill. and they've got trunks times and all it's coming back a pair of elephants from moscow to make that spanish holiday part of the course

their story on r.t. dot com. russia is to allocate sixty four million dollars to build a new protective dome over the site of the chernobyl nuclear catastrophe is the twenty fifth anniversary of the disaster approaches other countries around the world will need. to help neutralize the all on going affects of the tragedy is donor countries gather in the crane a series of explosions rocked the chernobyl power plant on the april twenty sixth nine hundred eighty six becoming the worst nuclear disaster in history who here hopes to raise over a billion dollars saying it can then finish building that's a call for twenty fifteen delegates also its usual scarse the safe use of atomic energy which has been brought into sharp focus by the nuclear crisis in japan. now as the mud's the u.s. involvement in the recent wizened runs deeper than previously thought the new york times reports the government funded organization coached us in campaigning in using

new technologies but even as american cash poured into sun our nations their money was allocated to libya. contrary to experience a significant. if anybody had any doubt about united states meddling interference or guidance off arab uprising the latest revelations about united states sponsored and g o spoiled the speculations to rest really disclosure of the freedom house democratic and republican institutes in fact were financed by the united state department and the u.s. congress gave this carefully leaked media report these two believed the only kountry that was so l.-eb or wait a minute was a lead be a mission from this carefully report triggers a very counter-intuitive question if for any peaceful uprising to be

successful and muslim and arab world had better be paid gaiety and coordinated by the united states otherwise if it is not american led then they peaceful uprising can turn into violent ones like it happened in libya to be successful and nonviolent you better make sure they show political opposition carefully selected girls and trained financed and guided by the united states. one hundred millisieverts security rating says over the past few months the region has been the main tera for web deadly attacks carried out mention while head of the chechen republic. drives people from the caucuses to join exchanges scrapes. across nikken water it is
