years of self-sacrifice with those who understand fully that you have to live a. real life stories from. nineteen forty five don't cheat dot com. as nato airstrikes once again the libyan capital grief over civilian deaths and anger of a foreign intervention continues to grow on the grounds of. building bridges on the rebuilt wall you see so final points of consumption for both for a creature a future. and the issues are being discussed up another taught me to build a bridge brings international movers and shakers together outrageous the world's great side it behind closed doors. plus a vision of world news some of them anyway boyce of russia radio launches to us

space stations. are in business russ knocke is the first time this week with most of the blue chips trading lower look at the figures in about twenty minutes from. their broadcasting live from moscow you're watching our take welcome to the program the conflict in libya shows no sign of letting up pressure on its members to intensify airstrikes and increase what it calls efforts to protect people in government claims more civilian deaths have been caused by coalition aggression thirty this week and then. spread to some of those caught up in the violence. saddam has been within a hair's breath of death the doctors have performed 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 go to do it myself. but who wants to kill the teenager so most native city tripoli has been under constant bombardment by nato forces for three months day and night forms have been fooling around 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 where radio there have been sixty eight or airstrikes in just hours attacks against civilians must stop gadhafi must go and the libyan people deserve to determine their own future nato has frequently claim success and the military operation is supposed to protect civilians but the libyan government has repeatedly protested that innocent civilians have been among the dad the claims have not been independently verified with both in this clear since march nineteenth

the life ordinarily paeans has 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 when 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 was something charitable this is not fair they told us they want a no fly zone you never sat there we're going to bonus you promised to protect us but instead they scare us talking about who they are have a buckler son of his father is more precise and the world no longer needs nato the second world war ended long ago and we try to live our lives will need storage 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 prolong its operation and leave it all september that means people here face months more terror from the skies one

of nato is supposed to targets 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 will ever recover. r t tripoli. identified data official told c.n.n. that the alliance now considers gadhafi legitimate targets. he's at the center always spoke exclusively to the nato secretary general anders fogh rasmussen he said that does not target individuals actually the u.n. security council resolution goes beyond. 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 garments are

they've seen civilian buildings blown to pieces there's three in a car on a foreigner at 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 hit legitimity military. targets. and of course common control centers can be used to plan and organize attacks against civilians show amount of control centers are legitimate military targets. and also exclusive interview with natives achieving for the website that's r.t. dot com and once there you can expose opinion and analysis of the situation in libya. countries. syria is writing itself under increasing pressure on two fronts united nations nuclear watchdog the international atomic energy agency is due to report the

country to the un security council over suspected nuclear program it comes with the council already considering a british french resolution condemning president assad's crackdown on syrian protesters russia has opposed the move saying outside involvement will make matters worse from laughlin from the institute for democracy and cooperation says the u.s. is determined to turn up the heat on damascus. i think what we're seeing other 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 resolution on 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 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 north korea's very reluctant now to get involved in to get trapped if you like for a second time in the same way. israel says that it once democracy in syria and critics argue that the same president bashar al assad remain in power for a discussion on the uprisings in other great show crosstalk. the marcos would clearly be best for the region and for the syrian people first and foremost and then for israel but but but but it's a reference to what actually happened. reminded me what i tell my doctor and my

wife but i'll stop smoking going to diet and exercise but you know if you. really look i think this is clear. it shows that the but is the key issue is means that this is the devil you know we've dealt with health we've go to bush has given us the ability. if you kills a few people. there isn't but he thought it later. but but but you know that i think is the. vegetables have been sort of the menu at it today russia e.u. summit and that's the dinner rush is a ban on food imports from europe i don't know listen to any break it's been

discussed with the world trade organization membership. and it was contentious we saw defense systems also on the agenda but. joins us live now from the talks held that. the session has begun not one of the leaders talking about that so far. well the summit has entered its second day official day the day of the main talks between the european leaders and host president dmitry medvedev on the table are russia's accession into w. chio visa regime with the european union with force international agenda levy and they're appalled uprisings and finding a qualm on stance on america's last deploy and you missile defense system for europe told the sun more is on the agenda and for more on what the focus of this summit will be and what we can expect from a press conference later today i'm now joined by the spokesman for the e.u. delegation in russia denny's is ellen thank you very much for joining us today it

seems like european leaders here on the banks of the bull go looking for a chink of light over the gloomy landscape of the euro crisis of the arab world uprisings can we expect a common stones were not that russia is strongly against dados military complain in libya of military intervention brussels has been undecided very cautious regarding libya is it likely a comin approach will be found here and it. instead of talking of differences i think there is much more unites us rather. stressing where we have possibly some views i think even on the issues that you mention as for instance libya our views as. i come closer and there is very good cooperation a very good understanding of each other's views. i think.

obviously there will be discussion on international issues of course the financial crisis we have very good cooperation with russia so that the framework of g twenty g eight. we will discuss issues like we are discussing right now issues like climate change were also our views are very much converging. in substance but we are also discussing issues concerning but i through relations which have deepened and of course. you know very well there is now discussion for the new framework agreement very discussion on your work session and mentioning w.q. for seventeen years russia has been in membership talks with w t o and in december last year finally brussels gave its green light can we expect but these summits will get will fully clear the way for the country to finally enter the organization and by the end of the summer we could be talking about these russia is member of

the w.c. and as you know this is not an issue just for the european union so we did our part so in bilateral talks and the local chapters that we have with the russian federation all the pending issues have been solved so we are ready but there is still the multilateral issues. the multilateral issues of course we can find issues like the sanitary people so everybody stand those. yet. but this is just so not just for the european union to solve there are other partners that involve bekah trading partners with russia and of course in this very room solutions have to be found we're very confident that this will be achieved very soon because on bilateral bilateral. basically all the countries have closed their stop those so we are really very close we are as close as we can be from the government which i think would be very good news is the mentioned salutary

standers another apple of discord what about this recent russian ban on the table food imports from the european union shortly before our life you mentioned something about a breakthrough during yesterday's informal dinner what was that well breakthrough is probably not the words that they used. but i would hope for we still have legal issues right now we hope that these negotiations will confer. the excellent article sphere that prevailed during yesterday's dinner informal dinner where we had the impression that there is a good will for both sides russians there is russia ready to partially leave the band embargo on but. this is exactly what is now being discussed but the very fact . is i turned the plenary session of the summit

i think is really good news for us we have been saying and we repeat their basic position which is. matters of public health public safety and food safety extremely important for us we have since the beginning of the outbreak of equal light we have shared information. of the russian authorities but we believe that. all countries from all fronts of the european union these monies disproportionately not based on scientific data bases our position is. on my last question so short of time. we know that herman van rompuy and similar were not sharing the same plane on the way to russia what is happening between the two european leaders it's pretty clear they come from different places so they recalled. it was one plane from another plane from brussels where there are two different places where there are differences and thank you very much for that a spokesman for the e.u. delegation in russia. and of the russia you summit held in the.

case of a lawyer from russia and you serve as you say in the nation thank you for. the build the group and the invitation in the meeting of the world's most powerful people is taking place in switzerland just what the political insiders media moguls and industry actually discuss remains top secret sorties and it reports there is outrage that the fate of the world could be decided on 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 for the next couple of days around about one hundred fifty of the world's most powerful people who'll be meeting behind closed doors to discuss whatever they like it's the builder group again 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 in attendance there's no publicized agenda no press releases are released during the course of the event or at the end despite some fairly high level media moguls going to build every single year but they're all dedicated buildable watches i'm one of them is a man called jim tucker he says the arab spring will be a main topic of discussion here he says that the build a boat is a looking to create and engineer and most of mines a bloody war in the middle east in order to protect the interests of israel they'll be looking to prolong that but they will be worried he says because there is increasing opposition to the war in libya in the u.s. congress says that will be worrying that another thing that they'll be talking about he says is dominique strauss card according to jim tucker and many other girls about what is it is the bill to both groups who will decide who the future

head of the i.m.f. will be so we'll be looking in the coming weeks and months for any information about that in the news agenda. but artie's other events will of course keep you updated on what's going on around the billboard meeting or an artist twitter feed action. with the courts a large group of protesters are heading to the venue you told us that artists are called to stay on top of that story. russia radio will be adding a new perspective to american airways who want to us space stations and service that's been broadcasting internationally for more than eighty years from the programming for north america directly from washington to new york that is going to a church of canada children to find out more. welcome to voice of russia in washington i'm just in jordan time now five apart 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 facts 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 use in our we are open to voices from outside i think absolutely yes many analysts say there is stick my guess the russian media something that voice of russia will have to fight through can 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 in so far i think this is extremely important to do it for years during the soviet

union voice of america funded by washington had been a source of alternative information for millions of russians now in modern russia its mission is being little different to what it was during the cold war the lack of the truly alternative voice in the media has serious consequences for the development for the democrat is ation of the russian society in my opinion and it is here for the voice of america council to plea feeling an important vacuum voice of russia seems to be seeking to fill a similar information backing that many see in the us media it's not about truth or alliance it's about perspectives and i strongly believe that the american audience will only when from the array of perspectives the radio audience in america is growing. again with the 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 larger than the ones who really benefit from the rioting in the media are always at the worse and the listeners i'm going to check our reporting from washington r.t.

south we have been touched by the refugee problem is of course almost everything families have been touched to the problem there a lot of people are staying positive about refugee status here and living here but there are still some with hard negative about that issue well this is because of several problems first of all the problem of jobs the problem before the boy went to see a lot of gravity refugees are trying to normalize their life here so they are taking jobs from local people so this is one of the problems and so the problem is that those refugees who are still unemployed and still trying to. strive to survive here they are going on the streets and try to earn money in the legal ways so that makes it makes the level of crime higher all right thank you very much town was about transplant south from as the we published it ministry of
