they can also turn the mill stone who took some of the country house holiday in the bull government tells the remembering the crew it used to feel the most acutely to the world the rueben certain. prize nato airstrikes once again what the libyan capital grief over civilian deaths and anger over foreign intervention continues to grow on the ground. lost ground on european vegetables and nato missile defense system among several topics dominating the new russia the e.u. talks. but key issues are being discussed at another top meeting with bill the good things international bridges and shakers together but there's outrage that the walls both sides behind closed doors. plus a fresh version of world news on american airwaves as voice of russia radio

launches u.s. space stations. well news twenty four hours a day you're watching r.t. the conflict in libya shows no sign of letting up as nato mounts pressure on its members to intensify airstrikes and increase what it calls efforts to protect people. governments claims of more civilian deaths have been caused by coalition aggression thirty this week alone. spoke to some of those caught up in the violence . saddam has been with you know has bred. doctors have formed any a miracle and the young girl is back home with her family she took her mother's pills to kill herself. if someone wants to kill me and myself.

but who wants to kill the teenager sommer's native city tripoli has been under constant bombardment by nato forces for three months now and to problems have been falling on the city with a population of around a million no one can ever say when or where the next one would land. this week in the most intensive air raid yet there have been sixty eight slides in just ten hours attacks against civilians must stop gadhafi must go and the libyan people deserve to determine their own future nato has frequently claimed success and the military operation is supposed to protect civilians but the libyan government has repeatedly protested the innocent civilians have been among the dad the claims have not been independently very high and with one thing is clear since march nineteenth the life would normally be ans was changed forever son was mother will never forget the day when her daughter preferred death to this new life my

girl told me before that she saw death as a good thing and i entered her room that day she was lying on the floor there was smoke everywhere could hardly see what happened but i realized immediately resummon saying terrible this is not fair they told us they want to no fly zone they never said they were going to bomb us it promised to protect us but instead they scare us talking about who they are your son his father is more precise and it was the world no longer needs nato the second world war ended long ago and we try to live our lives for all new starts wars and always intervenes in other countries problems we're tired of war our patience is running out let us just live our life has just prolonged its operation and leave it to september that means people here face months more terror from the skies well of nato is supposed to target gadhafi his military arsenal actually landed here in this district it didn't destroy the colonel's compound but it's almost damaged the lives of one family as you can see

the building has quickly been repaired now the question is whether the people go ever recover. tripoli. the identified top nato official told c.n.n. that the alliance now considers gadhafi in the death of a target when the teaser exclusively to the weight of secretary general anders fogh rasmussen he said organization does not target individuals actually the u.n. security council resolution goes beyond a no fly zone according to the u.n. security council resolution we are mandated to protect the civilian population in libya taking all necessary measures and that's exactly what we're doing right now i just want to clarify for some of our viewers who have seen homes bombs are they've seen civilian buildings blown to pieces does that in a car on a phone or in a hospital on a phone constitute a command center for your purposes when you say any. i would like to stress that we

are not targeting individuals we live illegitimate military. targets. and of course command and control centers can be used to plan and organize attacks against civilians show come under control she enters our legitimate military targets. well there you can watch our exclusive interview with nato chief in full at our web site that's r.t. dot com and once there you can check expert opinion nurses saw the situation in the other hundreds torn countries. syria is finding itself under increasing pressure on two fronts that information is nuclear watchdog the international atomic energy agency is due to report the country to the un security council over suspected nuclear program comes at the council already considering what is french resolution condemning president assad's crackdown syrian

protesters russia has opposed in the saying. it is worse than la quinta from the institute for democracy incorporation says the men will turn into turn up the heat on damascus. i think what we're seeing are the western powers ratcheting up the pressure they're trying to increase their room for maneuver so in the draft resolution you have crimes against humanity you have a threat to international peace and security and in parallel you have this cranking up now of pressure from the international atomic energy authority so i think this is a way of increasing the number of cards that the west believes that it holds as far as russia is concerned i think that it's pretty obvious that russia or the russian government greatly regret not having vetoed the libya which as we can all see was immediately exploited. to go way beyond the terms laid down in the resolution i mean by that that the western powers immediately started to attack the

libyan government they launched a war whose goal is regime change whereas obviously regime change is not included in the terms of that resolution so i suspect that the russian government is as they say once bitten twice shy and i'm sure moscow is very reluctant now to get involved in to get trapped if you like for a second time in the same way. well israel says that it wants a democracy and see. area critics argue that some of it is to see the president bashar assad remain in power and join the discussion of arab uprisings next hour and now it's a great show crosstalk. democracy would clearly be best for the region and for the syrian people first and foremost and then for israel. but it is a reference to will it actually happen. through to reminded me what i told my doctor and my wife that i'll stop smoking going to diet and exercise but feel as if you know. i think it's clear.

that what is the key issue is means this is the devil you know we will go through how we go to bush has given us the ability. because a few people it's ok if he supports terrorism but he falls it later. but you know that's i think is the. key. to the. vegetables have been top of the menu at a two day russia e.u. summit but not for dinner says a ban on food imports from europe in the recent. break has been discussed with well trade organization then ship. nato's contentious missile defense system is also on the agenda that's a couple joins us now live from the venue where the talks. looks like.

it is this friday tell us more. i'll carry the summit it will focus on libya on the arab world uprisings by far the four to stop economic iran european security the middle east peace process the e.u. delegation is led by the heart of the european commission had a month on their own pay and the european of the european council story and the european commission's president was annoyed but also the had of the russian side is host president dmitry medvedev the summit has entered its second day here at the historic site in need of the north groves because and the first working session has already begun on the table are russia's accession into w t o p's of the regime with the european union and finding a compromise common solutions on america's plans to build a new missile defense system for europe now considering the latest so far the

habeas nato air strikes in libya of course this will be the central issue of the international agenda the summit russia strongly condemns nato's military operation in this not african state and today president very well most likely to raise his calls for an immediate unconditional cease fire in this country and for a political solution of the conflict now another apple of discord to european security debated in connection with the new a.m.d. which the u.s. designs for europe now both washington and brussels are persuading more scared the system is not aimed against russia russia in its turn argues that a system deployed so close to its borders will neutralize its strategic potential will lead to an imbalance of forces so of course the story will emerge today and with the european high ranking officials but. perhaps new solutions could be found mutually beneficial solutions and another apple of discord as you. irrationally ban

on budged one fruit imports from the european union introduced shortly after be equal like the deadly strain outbreak which to date. lots of twenty seven human lives deaths and hospitalized thousands of others russia introduce these embargo to prevent the strain from coming into russia these step was strongly criticized by brussels the european union says that it is going against policies of the world trade organization but the decision is very untimely since russia is about ant or w two finally after seventeen years of being in membership talks with these one hundred fifty three nation clock at the moment russia is the only major economy which is still outside the group now russia in its turn says that brussels failed to provide sufficient information on the source and containment of the infection but we expect that some progress on that could be reached during the summit here in usually not great if the e.u.

is more flexible and shows more transparency on that issue. ok i think you try to live from the russian you some of the nizhny novgorod thank you. the build a good group invitation only meeting of the world's most powerful people is taking place in switzerland just what the political insiders media moguls and industry that's what actually discuss their manes top secret societies reports there's outrage that thanks to the world we decided behind closed doors this great big hotel you can see on the hill behind me is the hotel in summer it's in switzerland and it's there that for the next couple of days around about one hundred fifty of the world's most powerful people will be meeting behind closed doors to discuss whatever they like it's the building to get of course it's the invitation only gathering of the world's most influential people attendees in the past included

kings and presidents captains of industry and heads of the world's most powerful corporations media coverage of the building. nothing not even a list of people who are in attendance there's no publicized agenda no press releases are released during the course of the event. despite some fairly high level media moguls going to build every single year and that's led to all sorts of speculation about what the build a boat group actually is since the one nine hundred fifty s. when it first started meeting it's been buried slee accused of planning to cull eighty percent of the population of masterminding the financial crisis also of secretly coming up with the original plan to implement the euro the european currency people to dish and really don't like things like that they're famous for that. and for that transparency and sure enough they're all going to be processed here during the course of this building now we never know what's on the agenda of the building group but they're all dedicated both about watches and one of them is a man called jim tucker he says that the arab spring will be

a main topic of discussion here he says to build about the looking to create and engineer and mastermind a bloody war in the middle east in order to protect the interests of israel. but they will be worried because there's increasing opposition to the. u.s. congress that will be worried i know the thing they'll be talking about he says. according to many other build about what it is to build a group who will decide the future of the i.m.f. will be in the coming weeks and months for any information about the news agenda or about their well andrew marr show from the canadian based think tank the center for a. so he believes these meetings undermine the whole concept of democracy the idea that you should. an open discussion and. i'm supposed. to. be able to go meet industrialism brain in queens

and kings and talk in secret without anybody knowing that's not democracy and that's all the work i'm going to get a journalist inside. and we've been proven to be correct so i would say for example after one meeting the person. and as far as we know it's not a speculation and. then there is increased media attention on these events and that's very important and that needs to continue and accelerate. but he's a lower amateur i will keep you updated on what's going on around the bill that we're getting on ortiz twitter feed she tweets that swiss t.v. reports of large protests are heading for the better closer to home to stay on top of that story. voice over russia radio will be adding a new perspective to america now weighs the launch of two u.s.

gray stations a service that's been broadcasting internationally for more than eighty years from moscow and now programming from north america directly from washington to new york counties that are interested can change in the. welcome to voice of russia in washington i'm jessica jordan time now five o'clock in d.c. and one in moscow they launched with the motto the more voices the better the voice of russia team in washington reports on international and u.s. news just like any other news radio station they say what makes them different is their efforts to bring up what's being left out by the us mainstream media when you consider american for us foreign policy has around the world i would say we are not hearing enough of people from people around the world the need for more voices in the media was up for discussion at this panel in washington titled gateway to understanding the great deal of soul searching going on in this country right now

can we in our we open the voices from outside i think absolutely as many analysts say there is stick my guess the russian media something that voice a porsche will have to fight through to become a credible source of information for the american audience and you have to work with perceptions which are still existing and i think even more it is important that you raise your voice and try to get people to think differently about russia and so far i think this is extremely important to do it for years during the soviet union a voice of america funded by washington there'd been a source of alternative information for millions of russians now in modern washer its mission is being little different to what it was during the cold war the lack of the truly alternative voice of the media has serious consequences. for the democratization of the russian society in my opinion and it is here the voice of america counted to plea feeling an important vacuum voice of russia seems to be

seeking to fill a similar information vacuum that many see in the us media is there a truth or a lie as it's our perspectives and i strongly believe that american audiences will only when from the array of perspectives the radio audience in america is growing. and with it they demand for more voices and more perspectives and it seems a certainty that in the wake of the voice of russia other foreign stations will be launched then the ones who really benefit from the rioting in the media are always the worse and the listeners i'm going to check our reporting from washington r.t. . but later today we'll take a closer look at the current state of american media in our broadcast blues documentaries coming up in around three hours but isn't pretty. it was created to serve public interests to inform and to entertain. and these days there's nothing easier than opening a new media outlet but there is nothing harder than revoking its license in case of

corruption and i had when she first went. missing. in trouble. with the crowd you can get involved in a community where you have one large corporation controlling the daily newspaper radio stations television stations the cable outlet you told me that that sounds like democracy public opinion versus f.c.c. raw jazz or blues or margie. rasika brief look at some other world headlines pakistan's prime minister has ordered an inquiry into the death of a young man in hands of paramilitaries which was captured on video showing footage filmed by casa's by a sister but actually shows the man begging because not before being shot connection of your son is that honest forthright trying to rob someone with his family denies this their sister instant person killed. the russian

soyuz spacecraft carrying a crew of three has docked at the international space station after a two day trip with its number of residents of the recess to six but during that five watt stay they'll be visited by the american space shuttle atlantis the very last mission to wrestle shuttle before the fleet is retired. but r.t.c. journey across russia continues down as our close travels to the once a volatile region of the sense here. the mountainous region on russia's southern borders hand unstable existence since the collapse of the circle in several conflicts or bloody fighting and thousands displaced by the single always forced on the survivors defend themselves as artie's question one points. shacks that look like they're barely holding together actual houses lying in ruins these are the far from welcoming images that strike you as

soon as you approach the village of come believes one of dozens of presidential refugee areas located have these people came here in ninety two ninety two after bloody after a conflict between south the sergeants and georgians that lasted two years as such as by origin they were born in georgia but flags fearing for their lives cut down a job you have i was among them her husband's begin one of the many casualties of the bloody conflict georgian by origin he was helping in certain people and ask her was killed by his own hollings along with two small children she received a one off compensation payment from the government but no official recognition as a refugee and the benefits that would come with it. because obviously it is very difficult to get refugee status that would go through. the only thing that i am asking right now is to give us the ground so we could build roses and leave the

normal conditions and cook them have more you know the just ten kilometers away lives a different i think group that's also experienced the realities of life and strategies the ethnic conflict between english and this is not in people that happened almost at the same time for school was that she two thousand english and goal to leave their lands and spread out in the region of the north caucasus but thanks to special government programs the vast majority are back home four hundred anguish families slipped hand before the conflict and almost half of them have now returned as imus family is among those who came back he says that despite the horrors that happened hair it still feels it is his native land as a model lost two brothers and the fighting and his family was forced to move from place to please. several years but that's in the past and now it's all about looking to the future. this is my land i have so many plans and

every want to create as many conditions for the youth work as possible and they want me to be useful and will not have time to think of any stupid things and yes me and my family happy that we came back here as you people here see the same needs to happen for those that feel abandoned you can believe sca so the horrors of recent times sound more like from the face of the village even if there still counts in their minds it's been almost three years those still lost cult like but the signs of the struggle remain and it's not only abandoned houses and devastated residential areas but also a significant number of people that still have no place to call home and to discuss the small i'm now joined by detroit it because no beach and instructor at the institute of civilization here and let you go cross thank you very much for joining me so he thought it was our free family have been touched by the refugee problem i

can see there are a lot of people here and with a good cause the familiar with this problem very well because they have france and israel it is it's hard to see this so here after they are called to it with the sofa search here in georgia in two thousand and eight for example one family has relatives a family of three that the state was for years before they managed to settle down here find jobs schools and a place to live so you can see the pope will still exist all right and what is the main challenge god's refugee face at the moment i think the main problem is the bureaucracy all of this or if you just lost their documents so they have to stay in lines for like hours and hours just to get their passports back trying to hide jobs and get work permits so and the second one is psychological i think it's all those people still feel all sergers all right thank you very much. now was. an instructor and the institute of civilization here in place you can trust and meanwhile our

team continues to bring you the latest picture of life down here in russia's north caucasus and in republic of north to south korea. for the business news with korea . and welcome to a business course russia consider reducing its presence in a number of key state companies to blocking stakes the state examines the possibilities of privatizing the biggest stakes in all major rosneft t.v. bank holds bank and power generating company routes hydro earlier russia planned to sell assets and more than one thousand three hundred state companies without losing control in key players. the wounds of mother nature have made a big bread issue dry weather in the u.s. and europe are fueling supply concerns pushing grain prices higher and westerners are putting their hopes in russia lifting its grain ban next month. from index futures group outlines the general for wheat prices at the moment. we is like

a weed it grows very quickly so even though you go through drought conditions and you know that ukraine is a wonderful example of that what we saw happen in russia back in august and the reason why we saw the prime minister do what he did and that was hold at sports coat was very indicative of as as a as a commodity equals very quickly now having said that what we eat is not and we have to keep this in mind is not a substitute for fuel whereas warne and sugar and other commodities might be so i don't see the support for wheat prices especially with what seems to be a actual record harvest out in the russian region especially neglect see here all of that would tell me there are going to be downside pressure to wheat prices and that might be the only exception out of the whole bunch. let's take a look at how the markets are performing crude prices a mix this hour let's wheat is trading at around one hundred one dollars a barrel losing thirty four cents and brand in that almost one hundred twenty

dollars in asia the markets are mixed japanese stocks are up supported by positive u.s. trade data amazon and shares the gaining almost two percent while honda is around one percent higher meanwhile hong kong's hang seng is down i mean lower than expected chinese trade statistics. here in moscow the r.t.s. open slightly in the red most of the blue chips are trading lower this hour bucking the trend is noise nicaea let's point three percent. and in my eyes it's will start trading in just a few minutes again one point six percent on thursday supported by stronger crude. down what are you can from a creative bank says the volatility of the markets will help class choosing their investments more carefully here are the three key elements she thinks will affect their decision. number one is whether or not we're seeing at the moment in terms of a clear slowdown in the u.s. in the global economy just some extent is structural change or just a blip the second question is probably whether the only case every single economic

data will be reflected in the second quarter earnings in the corporate sector and the question is with the whether or not as is a structural move maybe the e.c.b. and the new stick some sort of for policy action which could lead to the pain of the market and perhaps prevented from going more good in me and it is currently the moment. that's all for this hour i'll be back with more about forty five minutes from the trunk of.

the close up team has been to the old friend richard thank you all the turning point i'm bringing more to. this time the party goes to the region where half of the area is occupied by a nature preserve. where the young generation transition their ancestors. and where the mysterious city of the deadlocks will come from republicans north of sacha russia follows up on our cheap. easy peasy.
