what's really happening to the global economy we're no holds barred look at the global financial headlines you can see a report on our three. week's top stories you are special forces are fascinated by some of bin laden in pakistan bringing cheering crowds and to american streets that's leaving questions over the contradictory accounts afterwards and why the world's number one terrorist was killed rather than the red that. major members alucard siphoning support for the libyan rebels with khadafi has frozen assets but russia was their lives as involvement is getting dangerously close to a ground invasion. here in tunks and troops are resisted by defined her tasks as our security forces surging into north cities enforcing an intensifying government

suppression of the nationwide demonstrations here while washington and the deploying more sanctions against the regime for the brutal crime down with human brides groups claiming around eight hundred have been killed. as moscow prepares to roll out of the big guns for their annual grant victory day parade so why some people and former soviet states are siding with hitler. welcome to the program this is aussies would leave you with me here national problem with thanks for joining us and we've been dominated by the death of the world's most notorious terrorist leader after ten years in hiding the trail to osama bin laden finally ended at a heavily fortified compound in pakistan where he was shot that and a commando raid by u.s. special forces but as our niece and now reports his assassination will not kill off

al qaeda but will merely name global militants seeking a new torchbearer for terrorism. a man wanted dead or alive for a decade is gone but the united states has conducted an operation that killed osama bin laden for some it was a moment of victory you can hear some of the cheering going for others the moment and embarrassed moment president obama is in fact dead it was a u.s. eyes and i'm sorry but there's one thing analysts say should not be overlooked osama bin laden may be dead but the threat of terror is very much alive frankly doesn't make much of the difference that bin laden is dead people here were convinced a long line at least for the last two years to be very convinced that the. figures or people in this region who by the way cannot number more than one hundred are incapable of carrying out any major attacks it's been years since bin laden has

claimed responsibility for an attack instead it's russia now kind of linked terrorists that have made the most recent remarks moscow's metro blast an airport bombing two of the latest global attacks were nasty minded by domestic chechen turned leader doku umarov you for years has been trying to use thurbon montreuil as the face of international terrorism and al qaeda leader's demise is expected to remain a significant symbol while having little or no effect in the fight against terrorism it could create waves elsewhere in the two thousand war and right. george bush's approval rating was around fifty percent within twenty four hours and shot up to ninety percent so watch for obama to get a little bump from there's a new poll shows obama is after more than ten percent since bin laden was killed and now of course an opening has been made for the new face of evil. first it was a sort of you know been russian federation in some of the large. and the use

of. the parallels have been made this week with how the u.s. armed groups that later evolves into not trying to have the taliban is what they're doing now in libya so perhaps the new republic getting the number one is just beginning his journey this time in the work that he's in now way are to moscow. the pentagon has released five home videos of a son of bin laden seized from his pakistani compound and they all five clips of bin laden's life and present somewhat unfamiliar images of the al qaeda leader despite a public profile as a confident figure is shown rehearsing his speech or is it reading off paper and looking to the side as if asking for advice in another video bin laden is saying sitting on the floor watching a program about himself their release of those fitters out of the third which follows criticism of president obama who blocked publication of photos of the

archives leaders body as journalist option at a time to see says information that obama's order was to kill bin laden and not capture some convinced that that was done to prevent him from talking. they obviously didn't want the embarrassing revelations of how the united states basically created bin laden as it's created so many islam ists as it's funded so many islamists around the world what's so terrible is how the american population are being lied to about how that exactly went on so when you saw those chants of usa around ground zero i think very few people seem to understand that bin laden was a creation of america as isolations as we've known usually don't make the world a safer place i think that we do have to be on guard but we mustn't allow the united states we just are all created this al qaeda operation through its foreign policies to make it even less safe place because of what happened is as iran said you know this alien forces in iraq in afghanistan all around the world that is what

makes the world less stable. pakistan has claimed its sovereignty was violated by the u.s. secret mission of the lemonade a salad bin laden washington is trying to establish whether it's al i was sheltering the terror leader as an area in national airport if paving more pressure on that road it strained relationship some of bin laden's death could have canada better time u.s. and pakistani relations are going through their worst period since nine eleven reasons behind it predator drones and private contractors when a cia agent shows to pakistan his dad in broad daylight early this year officials in islamabad said it was the final straw and demanded all american operatives leave the country immediately but we have to be doubly sure rather their presence toward being then cathode biased against in the interest of. pressure why not western pakistan just one week before al qaeda leader was killed and then to us jones

been varied the white house first accused pakistan of not doing enough to counter terror before the us changed its tactics finally addressing pakistan's calls to x. is america's drone technology but despite signs of a peace offering and generic and sentiment has continued rising u.s. plans to extend its military presence in pakistan and ensure its dominance in the region after its troops withdrew from a guy stand seem to have collapsed and he's about bin laden's demise just like us drones came out of the blue delivering a direct hit on us treat ix. it's many say america speak jury will hardly change the life of ordinary people here in a country that's been in the maids to factored by the global war on terror since region in pakistan was among the first to be complete all the time was in two thousand and nine since saturday september division taking everything. peace and

financier and organizer of terrorist cells in the region is also said to have played a leading role in major targets in russia as well as assaults on police he had only recently it seems the leading role after his predecessor was killed by security forces. carry out a grand parade to all of the victim is a war. sixty six years old russia is getting ready to celebrate victory over nazi germany we'll have more on that later in the program. the lead we are now where fighting between pro and anti-government forces has intensified near the city of misrata the last rebel stronghold in the west of the country insurgents have meanwhile backtracked on claims they've reacted they reached where they deal with supply weapons after claiming on saturday that they were expecting a shipment of arms very soon actually deny the claims but said it will provide right here and equipment for civilian self-defense supplying weapons to be banned

by a u.n. embargo the outcome of the ongoing civil war is no clear just cried over two thousand nato airstrikes which have not had any decisive impact of thursday the allied international contact group agreed to set up a cash fund for the rebels but russia's foreign minister says this current straits how far the coalition's strain of the u.n. resolution on the air. since the contact group has established itself and now is trying to do it with sponsibility through the international community's policy tools libya should be not only libya we're hearing voices calling for this group to decide what to do in other states in the region we believe that all sides should be focusing on the peaceful resolution of the situation and not. conflict which is essentially civil war. the fighting in libya has been dragging on since february and has reportedly claimed thousands of lives and professor alan

but a military intervention of things like involvement of the nato led coalition has actually pretty don't conflict if there rebels were strong then a little bit of outside assistance to them might have been enough to topple the government but the rebels were extraordinarily we in fact the war would have ended more than a month ago if not for intervention the rebels simply were defeated the killing would have stopped. more people would be alive in our life today so what the intervention really did is just to level the playing field this is actually quite common intervention that is intended to end the violence sometimes that's the way it's the violence and that's exactly what's happened in libya and so could offer so it's a secure in in tripoli his forces are loyal large parts of the country support him and so a little bit of intervention is not going to compel him to step down but there are tribal differences between the west of libya and the east of libya this is mainly

a regional war between those regional tribes west and east and that would not change with the killing of one man the ultimate solution in libya is going to be a peace agreement it's going to be a peace agreement between the west and the east power sharing in this part of the world they're very familiar with those sorts of deals where tribes that are killing each other one day then share power the next day and so that's really where the effort internationally should be focused. in syria military crackdown on protesters has broadened but other times and troops have stormed the city of homes and three other southern towns this comes just a day after the country's forces shot dead sixty billions in the coastal city of bunny is and the latest violence against anti regime demonstrators according to human rights activists at least eight hundred people have been killed since the brutal suppression of nationwide protests began seven weeks ago meanwhile the u.s. has threatened to impose more sanctions against syria on friday the e.u.

a diplomatic coalition forming against syria so that it is very very nerve wracking for the syrians right now they're quite isolated and even the saudis are better against them. it's a time when it's surprising that europe has decided to get so deeply involved france in particular because it used to be the colonial ruler of the area seems to be a hankering to return to its colonial roots and what we're seeing is a sort of a counter revolution where the european powers maybe the united states have seized on the revolution to try and bend to their will and they're using a humanitarian intervention as the new reason for sending troops in however humanitarian interdiction. resources or strategic geography. we can leagues find the jewel in the sun translate into online social networks for helping the united states collect information on spying on citizens and during an
