opposition to make similar moves you know for nato to stop bombing relationship. over from foreign minister sergei lavrov has once again stressed that nato is actions in libya go beyond resolutions of the un security council and the only solution to the crisis is a non military one another condition that so we did authorities have said they're willing to fulfill the resolutions of the u.s. a u.n. security council is for the opposition members to also sit down at their to go sheesh and table now the opposition members have said that they willing to come to moscow they were supposed to come to moscow to morrow but they're postponing their visit nonetheless they are going to come to sit down and to talk about what they have to do to find a peaceful solution to have produced that was a dialogue with the. libyan authorities and although russia is not immediate yet

a mediator in this particular conflict it certainly supports the roadmap presented by the african union and the pool was what is the driving force of the opposition in libya here's this report by my colleague diana she. washington's perfect many really be. the leader of libya's transitional national council leaped and studied in the u.s. for years and on his latest visit to washington he didn't fail can show how devoted he is to american values we. really believe and we really aspire to. cross to the american public that we are really here to join hands to build a democratic a dream in the libyan soil and why. they join hands with those seeking to replace gadhafi and take over power in libya to help prop them up the u.s. pledged to funnel billions of dollars of conduct is frozen assets to the transitional council i am currently drafting legislation at the request of the

state department and the administration that 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 libyan rebel army is gen calif i have heard a long time khadafi to factor he leave it on washington suburb for the last twenty years 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 i can cia agents all are there even before obama recognizes and has been for install use in libya along working alone sites french intelligence and british s.e.'s as well they are made eucalypts in the agenda of this transitional council some cannily say the u.s. is using the turmoil in libya to propel to power people who would be loyal to their

interests you look at this collection of jew grill judge yunus and if there are these people are foreign agents they're nato stooges they're completely controlled and they will never be able to assert any kind of independent autonomous libya the risks of the puppet regime of that this will degenerate into chaos and number of leaders who were propped up by washington have faced popular discontent in egypt hosni mubarak had been extensively supported by the u.s. the decades despite domestic disapproval of his policies yemen has seen violent protests over the rule of its president who many believe has managed to hold onto power only things to us. 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 scale of some sort of a regime that we approve of but the process is not going to be a democratic one and in the war run the odds are overwhelming that the libyan

people will reject the regime having clearly taken sides in the league and civil war boston is now seeking to forge strong ties with where my country power they are but analysts say such an overwhelming support financial military and political never comes without strings attached and they mistake our reporting from washington r.t. . meantime on the ground in libya nato airstrike caused fires at a security services building and the headquarters of the country's anti corruption agency officials claim the coalition was trying to destroy files linked to corruption cases against the rebel leadership the two buildings are close to the residence of libyan leader moammar gadhafi which has been constantly hit by nato bombs british investigative journalist tony gosling says it's not could or should be targeted but rather the alliance itself. nato has shown in other campaigns around the world that it starts off with this sort of pretense they want to have

a sure shot war and what it happens is it turns into a long protracted. war where actually who does want out of this the military industrial complex these massive military companies who are supplying all this weaponry to nato and the people who do best out of it in fact both sides. military can we should both sides do well so i think i don't think that the nato side really want to make this a short thing at all they actually would like a long protracted conflict and they would like ultimately to take control of libya's oil and libya's finances which is what this is all about we don't see purnell 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 tony blair and george bush in the dog or the international criminal court. you are with r.t. and still to come here in the program a space timetable. the chinese hoping to land

greece and spain and by far the biggest economy and therefore of the biggest concern is spain is really 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 fail that may be a saving grace that the euro zone countries simply called the forward to let a big country as spain go by the wayside and fall as well how do you turn your bushel right there while the regular saw starting cuts are going to preserve an already flawed euro that's according to retirees a member of the european parliament from portugal. but i will say that the writing is on the wall says a year ago since these grasses starts us and the original sin is we have the architectural weaknesses of zero that the year itself he said in a complete experiment the other one says that we can you know fart our way out of this through austerity and that we can service our vamps through such cats here in
