as nato airstrikes once again walk the libyan capital grief over civilian deaths and anger over foreign intervention continues to grow on the ground. building bridges on the river russia and europe seek to overcome the final points of consumption for opening doors for a free trade. and key issues are being discussed at another top meeting to build a good group brings international movers and shakers together but there's outrage that the world's great big side it's behind closed doors. plus a fresh vision of world news on the american airwaves as a voice of russia radio on she's to us space stations.

on air and online this is out here with all the news that matters twenty four hours a day welcome to the program the top story about libyan rebels will get at least one billion dollars in assistance money promised by donors including the u.s. and britain france as well as arab states it comes as no time ounce of pressure on its members to intensify airstrikes and increase what it calls efforts to protect people meanwhile gadhafi is governments claims more civilian deaths caused by coalition aggression more than thirty this week alone to have written off and i spoke to some of those caught up in the violence. sodomite 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 i go to duke myself. but who wants to cuba teenager so most native city tripoli has been under constant bombardment by nato forces for three months day and night forms have been falling on a 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 may to air strikes in just 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 happen among the dead the claims have not been independently very high and it was this clear since march

nineteenth the life would normally prince has changed forever son was not there will never forget the day when her daughter preferred death to this new life i don't hold 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 terrible this is not fair they told us they want a no fly zone i never said they were going to bonus a promise to protect us but instead they scare us talking about who they are of a buckler sort 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 mean our 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 prolonged its operation and leave it as a means people here more terror from the skies one of nature's 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. but an unidentified top nato official told c.n.n. that the alliance now considers the darky of the gypsum a target when the attorneys are nice and always open exclusively to the secretary general this rasmussen he said that organization does not target individuals actually the un security council resolution goes beyond. according to the un 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 they've

seen civilian buildings blown to pieces so the three in a car on a phone or in a hospital on a phone constitute a command center for your purposes when you say any means. i would like to stress that we are not targeting individuals we legitimity military. targets. and of course command and control centers can be used to plan and organize attacks against civilians show amount of control genders are legitimate military targets. we watch our exclusive interview with nato as the chief in full on our website that's called a day or so of share your thoughts on today we're asking how the deadlock in libya should be resolved so short that sixty percent think that nato should meet its withdrawal significantly less said they should continue the way they are and

confidentially ends others suggest the u.n. should send in peacekeepers in the. north sea ten percent supports going round trip . of syria itself increasing pressure on two fronts the united nations nuclear watchdog the international atomic energy agency to report the country to the u.n. security council. over suspected covert nuclear program comes with the council really considering a british french resolution condemning its crackdown on syrian protesters russia has opposed the move saying outside involvement or worse possible from the moccasin corp says the u.n. is determined to turn up the heat on domestic us. but 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 regrets 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 moscow is very reluctant now to get involved in to get trapped if you like for a second time in the same way. though israel says it's once a democracy in syria but critics argue that if it's how it's seen present bashar al

assad remain in power welcome to the discussion of the risings later today in our debate show cross talk. democracy would clearly be best for the region and for the syrian people first and foremost and for israel in most parts of the body is a reference to will it actually happened. but you know. i think the clear. through. the book is. is means this is the devil you know we've go to help rebuild his diminished realty. because a few people. but. i think. if.

you put your. vegetables in the top of the menu or to the russian you summit for dinner russians a ban on food imports from europe for the recent deadly outbreak has been discussed with the world trade organization and the ship from moscow they took a contentious missile defense system is also on the agenda that. joins us live from the venue where the talks are being held. so the session is in full swing leaders getting to grips with. vegetables that not only indeed on the table for the participants of the twenty seventh washout use summit in. the summit is due to focus on the first working session is in full swing now one of course the forests by now the international issue libya and the arab world uprisings also on the table

is russia's obsession into w. till these are free regimes would be. saving the euro finding a common approach on america's plans to deploy a new missile defense system for europe now considering latest so far the heaviest nato air strike in levy or. will emerge during the press conference later today crossed. strongly condemns nato's military intervention in libya which has already resulted in thousands of casualties and we expect the president medvedev later today will again reiterate russia's position it is it stands for and a legal solution to the conflict and calls for an end immediate on conditional cease fire now european security is a not a priority for the summits participants and this will be debated in connection with a glance by the u.s. to deploy a new a m d for europe wrestles and washington are persuading mosco the system does not pose any threat to russia while the latter in its turn argues that

a system deployed so close to its borders will obviously neutralize its strategic potential will lead to an imbalance of forces will bring the countries back to the cold war times i don't other important issue which is at the moment a point of contention between the e.u. and russia is its recent plan by russia on. the bulls and fruits from the pros from the european union the ban was imposed in the wake of the deadly e. coli strain outbreak which to date killed thirty people and hospitalized thousands thousands of others brussels harshly criticize the measure calling needs disproportionate and saying that it was very on time reminding that russia is apology for the w t o 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 and we expect that russia all the formalities will be sorted out by the end of the summer and russia will finally

join the organization now as far as the word ban is concerned russia excuses brussels of failing to provide sufficient information in the stores on containment shall be in fact and said that progress could be reached during the summit in brussels is transparent and shows flexibility on the issue like it could partially lifted the ban on the budget it will import from a number of states. like denmark. germany the true live from the russia e.u. summit in the north thank you very much. build a bird an invitation only meeting of the world's most powerful people is taking place in switzerland for just a political insight news media moguls and industry actually discuss remains top secret societies reports there's outrage that the fate of the world could be decided on close to. this point because i tell it 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 will be meeting behind closed doors to discuss whatever they like if they build a good group you get of course it's invitation only gathering of the world's most influential people the attendees in the past including 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'll be 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 but there are dedicated buildable watches and 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 builder broke the looking to create and engineer and most to mind 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 so that will be worrying that another thing that they'll be talking about he says is so many it's just hard according to jim tucker and many other girls about what is it is the builder group who will decide who the future head of the i.m.f. will be in the coming. the month sport any source of information about that in the news agenda. or amateur will keep you updated on what's going on around the building meeting on parties twitter feed. tweets that swiss t.v. reports are largely the protesters are heading for the any. club to stay on top of that story. now voice of russia radio will be adding a new perspective to american air waves and the launch of two u.s. space stations a service that's been broadcasting internationally for more than eighty years. without their programming for north america directly from washington new york but

is there any chance you can change in front of. welcome to voice of russia in washington i'm just in 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 huge effects 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 you know are we open to voices from outside i think absolutely yes many analysts say there is stick my guess the russian media something their voice

of russia 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 in so far i think this is extremely important to do it for years during the soviet union a voice of america funded by washington had been a source of alternative information for millions of russians now in modern russia its mission as being little different to what it was during the cold war the lack of the truly alternative voice of the media has a serious consequences for the development for the most of these issue of the russian society in my opinion and it is here for the voice of america concert to play the feeling an important vacuum voice of russia seems to be seeking to fill a similar information vacuum that many see in the us media with its truth or alliance perspectives and i strongly believe that the american audience will only

when from the array of perspectives the radio audience in america is growing. and 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 large then the ones who really benefit from the rioting in the media are always reviewers and listeners i'm gonna check our reporting from washington r.t. . and next we'll take a closer look at the current state of the american media broadcast blues documentaries coming up next out this is a pretty. it was created to serve public interests to inform and to entertain. 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. in from.

the ground because it 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 sells what democracy's the public opinion versus f.c.c. broadcast blues margy. a brief look now at a couple of other world headlines pakistan's prime minister has ordered an inquiry into the death of a young man at the hands of paramilitaries which was captured on video showing footage filmed by ryan city of karachi is the man appointed is not a complete shock troops on this court are trying to blow up some of the victim's family denies this their sister and some person killed. and the volcanic ash cloud has grounded all flights in argentina you are quite sure surely that's getting since last saturday has already caused flight cancellations earlier this
