but this beauty brings death at a speed of more than two hundred kilometers per. stepping down along one on. welcome back you're with author you live from moscow on your solution to headlines now libyans in the capital tripoli rage at the nato bombing campaign which they say is robbing them of both the safety and the fuel supply constant asteroids have led to a shop petrol shortage in tripoli by thousands of civilians are bearing the brunt of the war. israel's a gas a lifeline from egypt could be in jeopardy as cairo probes allegations the supply deal set up by al to president mubarak was a shady scam. plus the alarms being raised over a record breaking suicide rates among young people in russia blamed on indifference

towards the problems of teens the number taking taking their own lives is one of the highest in the world. well it's not us. it strikes on the libyan capital former u.s. congresswoman and one time presidential candidate cynthia mckinney is in the country to see for herself how libyans are coping she expressed doubts about whether nato is following international law interviews 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 law 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. 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 what have you seen 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 been 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 of i brought with me is an attorney and i asked him he specifically said yes. 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 play. 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 conclusions. 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 out of tory m.p.'s were bombed now while he is nato bombing universities why of

a bombing compounds where people gather 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 this 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 mad 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 you've been able to speak to people i guess yes i have spoken to people and the one question that they asked 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 el oh for oil 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. they're policies on behalf of israel and if we look at the behavioral 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 being ghazi 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 pti just a while ago there are only hitting targets of military value do you accept that no absolutely not a university military value certainly the murder of. these son and grand babies is not of military value i went to that house i saw of the swing set the ball said i took the journalists there and there was nothing of military value there is just. innocent people does that mean restlessness military people. through 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 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 it. of the law and so now has nato become a murder machine a targeted assassination this could off you know that other thing well i don't know what he knows. he probably knows far more than you and i. and i plan to meet him. well that 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 you know might 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. to a substantial degree and one form or another socialism has spread the shadow of human regimentation over most of the nations of the earth and the shadow is an approaching a whole different. in the early twenty first century military

bases the network of military bases all around the forms that believe. that the united states is trying to do it's astonishing to most americans have no idea there are more than a quarter of a million or more than two hundred fifty thousand u.s. troops stationed on these bases all around and. we don't have fallen bases in america we don't have any british base we don't have any korean base we don't have any french bases or you know we just all american bases in our bases of why are the noises our norms of those of all the us at all because they're all bases for older people it's almost like a cancer here for these people. since the end of world war two the spaces i've been . working here to

provide safe and secure environment for everybody. the questions they have thing else get everything you need. in one of the most extreme environments on the plumbers this is and people have to be aware that they are far away from civilization. so special and attractive for many life is. an affront to. extradition to the bottom of the earth. for the full story we've
