in the. international war crimes prosecutors are eyeing the arrest of colonel gadhafi coalition army chief says killing the leader would not break the rules. of the painting in spain with about a fifth of the population without work and the grim economic outlook it's teetering towards a eurozone bailout which other members say it can barely afford. a band of bloodshed mazzara but protests on the anniversary of the palestinians were driven from israel as the army files on two thousand activists on the jewish state's borders.
10:01 am
it's just after six pm on monday here in moscow this is not a type of war crimes court is requesting arrest warrants o'connell khadafi and two other senior libyan officials for crimes against humanity it comes as the head of britain's armed forces says nato must intensify its military campaign in libya with a direct attacks against the regime he's lore and it now has the story from london . it seems that this is a u.n. resolution that has been really stretched beyond recognition and that's not according to me that's according to various members of parliament that i've spoken to various groups they say that this is not what the u.n. resolution was intended to do although of course in the defense of this kind of action the people who are proposing us are saying that. himself is a direct threats to his a people who the aim of this escalation which will target infrastructure and we're not clear what infrastructure actually means but it could include things like
10:02 am
bridges power stations water supplies things that would put the libyan people significantly on the back foot for the next ten years while those kinds of things are rebuilt the the aim of this escalation is to target colonel gadhafi which does smack of regime change of course we've also seen the international criminal courts request for its judges issue arrest warrants to three people one of them is of course colonel gadhafi and the other one other one is his second eldest son who of course was educated here in london and why he's been seen as the best chance for a negotiated peace with colonel gadhafi regime and the other man is also do see who is brother in law and the head of the intelligence services now the chief prosecutor is alleging in a statement that he made that these people were directly involved in attacking civilians shooting at demonstrators and shelling various things among them funeral
10:03 am
processions and what's going to happen now is that the judge is going to evaluate that we think that's going to take around four weeks and they're going to decide whether to confirm those charges and issue international arrest warrants which would put his son and his brother in law on the international wanted list symbol ten years to that debate in parliament that will be a protest held outside downing street to try to bring members of parliament attention to the plight of libyans antiwar demonstrators will be calling for an immediate cessation. incident we've seen a poll that was done for the daily mail newspaper that says that seven out of ten britons fear that it could turn into another iraq that process but also tries to draw attention to the price of what people are calling thousands of refugees who are running away from the asterix who are being ignored completely by nato according to them that is the law and that right there now let's hear more of what russia's foreign minister had to say about libya so he left office adamant that the
10:04 am
time for talking is now and for an immediate end to the violence. that is in you so we are interested in immediately stopping the bloodshed in libya so that in the interest of the libyan people as well as libya's neighbors and the whole international community the process returns to a political course and course on how to build a new libya can begin as well as realizing overdue reforms and we reiterate our stance that the u.n. security council resolutions should be carried out strictly according to the mandates and the overstepping visas as we see now which should start. well commenting about the war crimes court decision to issue a warrant on could obvious arrest independent journalist james corp and said that justice is turning into a political and military tool in coalition hands in libya. it would be easy to dismiss the international criminal court's appeal for aid an arrest warrant for his crimes against humanity as that is something of a farce especially considering that the international criminal court's prosecutor's
10:05 am
office now would miss that not a single member of that office actually bother to step foot in libya to investigate crimes against humanity with which he's charged but i think this is actually that's a very troubling precedent in the realm of international jurisprudence where we see the idea that for all intents and purposes nato geopolitical foreign policy can now be justified through juridical action making this international criminal court simply by creating and so they do ludicrous nature of the entire operation is exposed and i'm asked for all to see in that here is a humanitarian intervention that is now literally going to be bombing in infrastructure for the libyan people on the basis of humanitarian intervention it's supposed to help the populace again it makes no sense on its face unless it's understood that this is simply an attempt at regime change and it is now being supposedly justified through this very troubling precedent of an international criminal court being able to dictate what happens within the boundaries of one country so again i think we'll see this president used as a way of basically allowing legal countries and nato head you want interests to
10:06 am
dictate their foreign policy through this court but it was independent journalist james covert right there coming your way here to see how a sex scandal could upset europe's financial recovery the i.m.f. says she faces a quarter of a allegedly assaulting a hotel maid putting his influence on a euro bailout talks and his french presidency chance is right on the chopping block. pattern with some cubans where rumbling towards armageddon they need the enterprising entrepreneurs who are coming up with a twenty first century answer to. the european finance ministers are likely to have to dig deeper into their pockets to give more help for bankrupting greece as well as finalize a package for portugal that's like. in brussels greece has already been bailed out by the e.u. and the i.m.f. but needs more cash as it's failing to grow pathans is expected to announce further austerity cuts if it wants to secure more desperately needed funds and over in
10:07 am
portugal the crumbling economy there is now awaiting a seventy eight billion euro rescue package over the next three years and just across the border in spain which is suffering record high unemployment protests against deep economic cuts turned violent as artie's terrified of course from madrid the country could be next in line for a handout. first greece then. and now portugal as the year is things bailouts but a number there are now serious concerns that spain could be the next to topple. a testis throughout europe a clamoring to a case even more taxpayers' money being plowed into rescuing other. people had that on to this very. thing again getting back if they got it. i don't think my break about it very much was forty three defensive
10:08 am
under twenty five thousand one hundred likes of the labor market probe into this side of the thing i think that these are going to be inside this is so. they were saying well we will be millions and if the year is a copeland's went enough there is now talk of greece defaulting on its loans even potentially accepting the year together and put two goals recent bailout is reported to be worth around seventy eight billion. that spain is the euro fulfill largest economy different challenge altogether if it fails. if the situation happens in the markets we're not managing it going out of spins debt is the most catastrophic scenario for the e.u. . what will that you do i think and many experts share my opinion that the e.u. to avoid the scenario would only cost because spin is too big to fail so. then we
10:09 am
got to. the big question now is just how much longer can the usa continue bankrolling those going bust as this crisis continues to escalate ministers are struggling to maintain a united front. for financial survival for such countries aspiring it would seriously injure the euro it could lead to the use of two currency zones in europe a strong group of countries using the euro and the rest not using it. think you can see the play down strike at least here in the next round. it out problems continue. i am now portugal the possibility of a mix having experiencing countries a real friend named real. right now the european idea and the reality. that is the stakes are part of. that.
10:10 am
the euro zone's recovery talks are taking somewhat of a backseat to the trouble at the top of the international monetary fund the chief has been charged with sexual assault mistrust that will appear in a new york court later on monday after taking medical tests he denies the allegations but it's clouding any hopes he had to become france's next president as french politics expert bill around told r.t. he wasn't going to announce his candidacy for the clinton presidential elections and i think these allegations will come as a huge blow for french socialists who really thought he was. to succeed president sarkozy next year's presidential elections and i don't think this thing. kind of world. are running. president because it will prove extremely difficult to juggle i think. sexual assault. and rape with a presidential campaign i think the president sarkozy is an obvious candidate can
10:11 am
benefit from from the scandal although he's very poor the man with the longest. you know worst thing fact for any french president in the history of the fifth republic but i think this will benefit hugely i see we'll be able to. reassure him that you can more confidence to tackle the presidential election. much more strength than the current situation for. journalists are now below ramdani right there on how sexual assault allegations against the head of the i.m.f. might affect the balance of power in french politics. israeli troops have killed at least sixteen people after opening fire on protesters marking the day that palestinians were displaced by the creation of the jewish state thousands of demonstrators tried to get into the country from syria lebanon and gaza the clashes
10:12 am
approach out on what's known as a day where some seven hundred thousand palestinians were forced out as israel was being established prime minister binyamin netanyahu said the country is determined to defend itself and he. from the most i was said before arabs in israel told me earlier that it's time for the international community to step in. when we talk about the borders of israel is what i'm going to have border that's the great is the way it is all your buying all these areas and people. you know according also to the. agreements is going. and all of the people that are living on. the. floor of the community with the whole design . sponsible is such a reaction to nonviolent solution that is i think double standards in the international community who were in. violation of riverfront always thinking this
10:13 am
is going to solve communities acting to me greatly and i'm happy that they've got some community for example is acting i guess media regime i think in the case of presiding we see all over the historic double standards and i think it's very important to hold israel to the international community stand outs on that. you know like we are already over forty years of accumulation of the of the occupied palestinian territories and over sixty three years without a solution for that if you g.'s problems that have been created all of the in for so when you talk about that arsenal community the international community have a school saluting think in consideration that the creation of the state of his very was done by the u.n. i think it's about time that the u.n. and the international community to call their israeli public and there is really qualified to make those who decide what they want they want one state solution or solution but they can't all three million people aren't able to pay sharon without
10:14 am
making decision what actually is about in all the. meantime desperate palestinians in gaza say they're being forced to spy for israel just to get access to medicines and food. reports for them it's just a matter of basic survival. the latest weapon of war targeting the sick and the hopeless and denying them health care unless they become soldiers for the other side. of i needed urgent surgery which couldn't be done here it goes that i had to get jerusalem but when i arrived at the emirates border crossing i was arrested by the israeli security service they brought me into a building for questioning to get me there from ten in the morning until six in the evening. the payoff is simple become an informant and get a permit to leave gaza for medical care when israel jordan or the palestinian we spend all refuse and face the health risks and it's not casual operation but one which is highly planned and targeted involving senior israeli intelligence officers
10:15 am
according to the man who says he was put under severe pressure to collaborate. those long hours total more she for the last said try to bargain with me he said that if i refused i would go blind i would be said back to gaza without permission to get to jerusalem for. some stories familiar to run your own dozens of similar cases crosses disk each month it's all been our station physicians for human rights represent patients from gaza whose permits to leave for medical treatment have been delayed or rejected by israel he says it isn't time us took over gaza in two thousand and seven many of the roughly a thousand people who apply each month to leave gaza for health care outside are turned down sometimes in between. a painting for medical care is a different life or best. whatever they can in order to access. them from. very sensitive situation to recruit people but these radio government
10:16 am
denies it's taking advantage of the situation and rubbishes the claims as nonsense people who have been refused entry for security reasons have to explain. and find a reason why they weren't allowed in but let's be clear the numbers speak for themselves eighteen thousand gazans in two thousand and three and entered israel for medical treatment is the allegation that all eighteen thousand are working for israeli security it's simply ludicrous palestinian informers potentially provide important information for the israeli army but spying for israel the same is true isn't by palestinians and is punishable by death hamas also accuses israel of using social networking sites like facebook to access the private information of gazans and thus israeli army then blackmails those gazans of innocent will publish information about their friends and family online. as well but some are well he he
10:17 am
refused to be swayed and paid the price. goes up because i'd rather be sick i'm blowing something cooperate with the israeli. home of turkey's earlier as gaza moves closer to egypt but for me jackson president hosni mubarak now out of the picture palestinians believe that a more nervous israel will be seeking new tactics to oppose them that's why they think there could be informers and invisible weapon but often the most damaging of all to militant movements is likely to remain a top priority for israeli intelligence policy r.t. israel. we can always look at more of what's happening around the world at r.t. dot com here are some of the items you're looking at right now and the celebrations over some of them a lot of killing it take a turn as polls suggest most americans have had a morality check over cheering someone's death.
