very carefully and clearly it's always been against the violence it's always been against the coalition intervention lot of course by the united states and several european members of the north atlantic treaty organization it's called for and. just cease fire and frequently every heatedly asked both sides both participants of the conflict to lay down their arms and sit down to a negotiating table in an attempt to find a peaceful resolution to the ongoing and very bloody conflict in libya russia has now stepped up the offer to become a mediator in the process of negotiations the russian foreign minister sergei lavrov saying that russia does believe it could be effective in bringing about some sort of a resolution. which. russia is ready to maintain dialogue with anyone who is very interested in the quickest ends to the bloodshed in libya and switching to
1:03 am
political negotiations we support the african union initiatives aimed at a ceasefire and the beginning dialogue in reaching a national reconciliation. sergei lavrov there reiterating of course russia's position once again and offering to step up as a mediator now to further that effects the russian foreign minister will be meeting with representatives from general alfie's government in moscow and hopefully attempting to enforce once again the necessity of this an immediate cease fire and an end to the conflict ongoing conflict in libya we know that representatives from the rebel government were also supposed to be present in moscow that visit is not going to happen now and according to my colleague and they check out in washington there are some clear cut reasons for why the rebel government might not actually be interested in an immediate cease fire. washington's were perfect many leave here mom or djibril believe lidia's transitional national council leave been
1:04 am
studied in the u.s. for years and on his latest visit to washington he didn't fail to show how devoted he is to american values we. really believe and we really aspire to that our message will get across to the american public. that we are really here to join hands to build a democratic could be and the libyan soil and washington d. join hands with those seeking to replace gadhafi and take over power in libya to help prop them up the us pledged to funnel billions of dollars of could up its pros and assets to the transitional council i am currently drafting legislation at the request of the state department and the administration there will authorize the trails for of available cash assets to the council but the support from washington comes not only in money and tomahawk missiles but also in military command one of the commanders of the lead to unravel r.t.
1:05 am
is gen calif i have a long time could afi to factor he leave didn't washington suburb for the last twenty years before he took off to leave in march this year to command the rebel forces caliber have her leave just minutes away from cia headquarters although any intelligence connections have never been officially confirmed at the moment we have cia operatives over eastern syria and iraq cia agents already here even before obama recognizes and has been for a eastern libya a long working alongside french intelligence and british s.e.'s as well they are many police in the agenda of this transitional council some analysts say the u.s. is using the term well in libya to propel to power people who would be loyal to their interests. having been there for forty years plus had a will of his own so he had a significant degree of independence in it as on policies you look at this collection of jew grill judge yunus and if there are these people are foreign
1:06 am
agents they're nato stooges there they are completely controlled and they will never be able to assert any kind of independent autonomous in libya the risks of the puppet regime of that this will degenerate into chaos. right now the rebels can only exist with complete nato support and number of leaders who were propped up by washington have placed popular discontent in egypt hosni mubarak had been extensively supported by the us but their kids despite the mess they disapprove of his policies yemen has seen violent protests over the rule of its president who many believe has managed to hold on to power only things to u.s. support and the government of hamid karzai in afghanistan has been struggling with public discontent for years the u.s. and its allies will go into the sky which some sort of a regime that we approve of but the process is not going to be a democratic one and in the long run the odds are overwhelming that the libyan
1:07 am
people will reject that regime the american policy makers talk about this kind of thing are not themselves deluded they know perfectly well what they're doing they know it's not going to work in the long run but they have other reasons for wanting to have short term gains having clearly taken sides in the libyan civil war washington is now seeking to forge strong ties with whoever might come to power there but analysts say such an overwhelming support financial military and political never comes without strings attached i'm going to check our reporting from washington our team. how they have britain's armed forces insists that killing colonel gadhafi would be within the rules as nato appears to be ready for a long war but investigative journalist tony gosling says it's the airlines that should be brought to justice not believe you need or. this is a political decision it should never be a military decision i think the reason that the military chief has announced it is really to save the face of our politicians here in britain who are pushing and
1:08 am
pushing this whole matter way beyond what was agreed at the united nations security council that is a serious serious problem and this is why the russians and others are saying there must be a ceasefire why is it we have to ask ourselves the british and nato particularly. the nato initiative decided they want to intervene so heavily in a civil war rather than let the libyan people decide for themselves the outcome of how they want the politics of their country to be in the future this is considered a war crime under the present situation and goes way out for the present u.n. resolution we don't see colonel gadhafi going into foreign countries invading them bombing them attacking them we don't see these long protracted wars carried out by colonel gadhafi i think he's the least of our problems and we should see. george bush in the dock of the international criminal court. still down in the program china's space timetable. trying he's hoping to land

1:11 am
said that he really wants to see greece sorting out its problems first before it gets more money now the four critically ill economies of the european union and then as the pigs portugal ireland greece and spain and by far the biggest economy and therefore of the biggest concern is spain we've seen our correspondent in madrid saying that there is really great a growing concern over the economic situation there we've got horrible statistics like almost one in two young people in spain are out of work the question is being too big to feel that maybe it's saving grace that the euro zone countries simply called the forward to lead a because country as spain go by the wayside and fall as well. then it will show there and reckless to stare at a concert aren't going to preserve an already flawed year old that's according to an heiress and a minister and european parliament from portugal boss about the writing is on the

station and while some see chinese advances in space travel as a potential for it officials here are keen to stress the spirit of cooperation they say is behind china's space program phone and the words on the wall on that we're looking forward to cooperating with other countries in the field of space exploration and we're also looking forward to having more concrete join this work so we can promote the common goals of mankind and get sleep for the moment though china's space program is doing very well on its own since becoming only the first country in the world to send a man into space in two thousand and three the chinese also carried out the space walk in two thousand and eight and the country isn't going to stop. trying as extraterrestrial ambitions go far beyond the launching of the space station the chinese hoping to land a man on the moon by twenty twenty five and a man on mars by twenty forty an ambitious timetable by anyone's standards. however it's the very speed and nature of china's space program that has some including the

u.s. worried most of the tens of billions of dollars that the chinese have spent on these projects has come from the country's military budgets and with china's downing of a damaged weather satellite using a ballistic missile back in two thousand and seven some are now talking of the potential for a new space arms race. china is developing its program like any other superpower all the technologies being developed come with dual use civilian and military these are the most advanced of technologies and they are mostly used during peacetime but if needed some technologies could also be used during wartime so there is nothing strange about this chinese officials deny the country's manned space program has any military uses and instead. preferred to emphasize the spirit of peace and partnership the driving force for its china's astronauts several european countries are expressing interest in using any future space
