more than a month. in one of the most extreme environments on the planet. and people have to be far away from civilization. so special and attractive from. the front. to the bottom of the earth. for the full story we've got.

the biggest issues get a human voice face to face with the news makers. welcome back you with me live from moscow our top stories now. libya is on the brink of a fuel crisis people on the ground can play in the battle against libyan leaders harming innocent civilians the. flow of cheap gas is drying up with egypt pushing for a rethink on a key energy deal sealed under the previous regime the shake up was prompted by allegations the agreement only benefits the jewish state and the. excessive amounts of highly. linked with leukemia. detected rather in waters around

japan's fukushima nuclear plant. levels of contamination are even higher than those reported following the mobile catastrophe. well as nato attacks continue in libya former u.s. congresswoman and a presidential candidate cynthia mckinney is in the country herself to see how tripoli copes with the onslaught she expressed doubts about nato methods and her interview is coming up right now. former congresswoman and u.s. presidential candidate cynthia mckinney has been in libya working with a non-governmental fact finding mission for ten days already she's here at private expense as are the other members of her team to establish real evidence based facts on the reality of life in tripoli and made mates of bombardments and civil war she joins me now thank you very much cynthia thank you for having me well why is fact

finding necessary in tripoli i can't remember who it was that said that truth is the first casualty of war but we in the united states are very well aware that the our country went to war against iraq and encouraged the entire world to go to war with it against iraq nine hundred thirty five times the bush administration lied to the american people in the international community about the reasons for going into iraq and then after the deed was done we had our deputy secretary of defense say well you know we were in a room and we were just trying to figure out which lie of the american people would buy so we settled upon weapons of mass destruction and just like that the international community was drawn into a war that has completely decimated destroyed an entire country the country of iraq

so now when our government says that they have a responsibility to bomb people in order to save them i think it's important for the american people to understand what the truth is you've mentioned iraq so you do think liebig could be like second iraq no. what i think is libya could become somalia one in the reaction of the people to. the possibility of foreign ground troops here i don't think that is going to be anything that is welcome by anything anyone other than the libyan nato allies who are called the rebels who have been here for a while already so what have you saying what concerns me is that we have

reports that depleted uranium is being used we know that there are the missiles that are coming down the bunker buster bombs that are being used depleted uranium is being used here then everything that we see in brief is contaminated one of these reports come from actually a member of parliament in the united kingdom was the first person who mentioned the possible nato use of depleted uranium that i am aware of and at since that time i have spoken with some experts scientists scientists who are familiar with the telltale signs of depleted uranium use one is how the particulate matter tastes in your mouth if there is a metallic taste and of course since i've been here in the been a lot lot of bombings i have asked around about the metallic

taste one of the persons that i brought with me is an attorney and i asked him he specifically said yes. that he had a metallic taste in his mouth i have not spoken to libyan scientists who have officially confirmed that but of course if we look at nato and their choice of weaponry we know that nato is used to clean. raney aware in eastern europe they've used it in afghanistan they're probably using it in pakistan and why would they not use it here what will your conclusions be my conclusions will be merely the truth as i see it and of course i just have spoken with the dean of political science at the university also known as nasser university where two water tory m.p.'s were bombed now while he is nato bombing universities why of

a bombing compounds where people gathered to express their joy and love and concern for their leader i don't know why nato is choosing these targets but these are civilian targets and when civilian targets are bombed we have criminal activity . in tripoli yes we've also been to. spittle and there we were able to speak with people and see their wounds now i was able to see the wounds of the people and they looked very similar to the wounds of the. experience dime weapons that's a dis inert metallic. weapon that was used in gaza now we've heard these massive bombardments from a distance but what kind of a fact i'll be having on the civilian population this is another aspect of the nato

operation and add like to stress this idea of collective punishment because of course we've heard of collective punishment in the context of israel and its treatment of the palestinians but what we are seeing here is a kind of collective punishment as well where nato is preventing. shipments of fuel and food and medicine to come in. there have been efforts to actually get medicine into the country that have been denied by nato of course you it is impossible to go on any street and miss the huge queues of sometimes three and four d. of cars that go on for and on and on and on as they queue up to get gasoline from the service station this is a nato policy and this is also

a policy of collective punishment this is targeting the civilian population and whenever you target a civilian population you're committing a crime have been able to speak to people like us yes i have spoken to people and the one question that they ask me over and over and over again is why that is the question why and so when i go back to the states i'm going to try and ask that question why why is this happening certainly it is not for humanitarian reasons because what is being caused by nato is a humanitarian catastrophe what could be the goal of the strategy do you think what we have to do if we really want to understand the motivations of u.s. policy we have to go back to what ray mcgovern who is a former cia analyst had to say and he described u.s.

policy is being driven by i and l. now once all i am in l. . i for israel ellis for logistics and so he described the logistics as those logistics that were needed by the neo-cons to carry out their policies on behalf of israel and if we look at the the havior of the nato allies in libya the so-called rebels what we see is they open up a central bank so that means that of course the banking system that is independent here in tripoli in big guys and that banking system will be tied to the international banking system they also have concluded agreements with israel now one of those agreements one of those agreements is to provide

a base for israel in libya to nato secretary-general rasmussen told r.t. just a while ago they're only hitting targets of military value do you accept that no absolutely not a university military value certainly the murder of. his son and grandbabies is not of military value i went to that house i saw of the swing set the cruise ball said that to the journalists there and there was nothing of military value there is just. innocent people does that mean restlessness military people telling half truths i think there's nothing of the truth what we're seeing here seems a bit personal now with a coup khadafi no matter what's i can only repeat what the mate joe leaders have

said and they have said. the colonel gadhafi is a legitimate target this murder and i don't think that there's anywhere. that murder is permitted this is targeted assassination this is extrajudicial killing. this goes against international law international humanitarian law international human rights law every aspect of the law and so now has nato become a murder machine a targeted assassination this could a few know that the saying well i don't know what he knows. he probably knows far more than you and i. any plan to meet him. well if that were to be made available to me i would probably take advantage of that and my last question if gadhafi leaves and it looks like he will have to know what i want

what will he leave behind while i think that's a question that is more appropriate for the people of libya i know that i am here on a fact finding mission and soley to understand the truth to transmit the truth . as i see it because the international press largely are not telling the international community the truth thank you very much. for being with us. wealthy british stock.

slighting full of russia football captain on that i shot and admits the team have not been playing well but insists they still have a great chance of qualifying for next summer's european championships the awesome midfielder was speaking at a charity event in siberia following russia's recent goalless draw with cameroon in a friendly. everyone wants to qualify for europe twenty twelve first all the players do and of course i will stand because ukraine in poland a close to russia and we will work hard to achieve this but let's wait until september and october frankly we're not playing at all best at the moment but we're still among the leaders of the group tough questions with mess adorning island head and the fate of a place at the european finals will be decided in these matches. but elsewhere christianity now though says he is staying at reality grid ending speculation of a big money transfer to manchester city the portugal forward told a spanish radio station i am not going i give you my word today i would sign for

another ten years with drift however when asked about tomorrow the twenty six year old was less committal adding no one knows the future of the players last season were now they said a spanish league record before three goals of reale finished second to barcelona for a third straight. for me one sebastian vettel meanwhile has been training with the new york red bull soccer team and their former arsenal starting area the side are currently top of major league soccer's eastern conference and no small thanks to on ravens being bang i mean with seven goals from eleven matches but despite his magic touch he still delighted with battles help on the training pitch board's f one stop pop in after coming second at the canadian ground preying on ray hopes his appearance will inspire the players to win some silverware. that's all you want you want to win and i was a junior we didn't win anything yet so you know i've been him around and he's going to bring us a bit of luck to win something and of course you know we're for from being

successful. and we're trying to follow the example nice to see come over here and see what they do is the first time i actually had. an idea with a professional players on the field it's amazing you know it's so. all things that you probably don't see from the outside but how they move. within one two steps compared to me obviously just to hold the football. there is just one torn left before wimbledon starts next week russian invaders one of the over had a great run last year reaching the final in london and is among the stars competing at a spawn this afternoon where she will face britain's heather watson the world number three saying it's vital preparation for the grand slam this is an important tournament you always want to play a few matches before you you had into the grand slams especially since we didn't have a long break after french open then i didn't get the chance to play any other tournament

on the grass so. i will definitely take this week is a good preparation but also playing serina williams it is her first tournament since damaging a ligament in her foot after celebrating her for the last year that injury in turn lead to blood clots on her lung but she has made a full recovery and so her sister venus when her right wing game against and the pet give it yesterday is serious turn today against the. former world number one can't wait to get back on course. i want to play roland garos. thing quite work out and figure maybe i can try to play another event. i don't usually play a warm up tournaments before wimbledon macel figured i can't complain about here so maybe i can. probably smart for me to play a world term and where better to play than he's going to flow here before. the half way decent results. stanley cup finals will go right down to the wire boston beat
