a second term as the ground solve the international economic forum and signals for . just after five pm in the russian capital you're watching r t thanks for joining us now we begin in libya where libyan officials report seven civilians including two babies have been killed in an apparent nato air strike on a house in the capital well the incident consummate reinvigorated nato bombing as the alliance grows increasingly desperate to break the stalemate artie's a media financial reports from the capital tripoli and you may find some of the images in this report upsetting. residents of citizenry district here in st louis have been broken up by a strike in the middle of the night and mom possible moms london hear this story as you can see behind me some rural three storey buildings quite of densely populated

area with buildings standing very close to each other times and many people found them very poor as we were told at least two families have been living in the damaged houses which is from twelve to fourteen people. under the rubble who were able to shine for children and two adults a man and a woman who will all look over some of the people are still missing as you can see behind me the rescue operation is now undergoing but people here on the ground saying that there is little hope it's someone could be alive the buildings on the opposite side of this street have also been partially damaged but we were told that no one from there has been hurt the libyan government spokesperson looked at him aside by him has come to the scene photo this happened and he has this civilian area had been hit by maintaining right there when i got

a look at some the sky people were killed children with my own hands with my own eyes i still i'm helping out you can guarantee will kill and get your boys the father and the mother to hold boundaries banished and under this attack you cannot just why is the target with you naming. this incident consummates continuing intense bombardment of the river in a time bombs are actually being dropped day and night we are all the time hearing sounds of having explosions russia which has always been against ministry means to stifle the protests of even conflict has recently signed peace treaty a ten to believe it would try to displace the warring sides to start talking after . the rebels in benghazi and brought up the people here in the police make no money off as he believes there really is for peaceful solution of this crisis with both

sides saying they are ready for negotiations with the knees are now ready to provide an appropriate location for tolls puts people actually few extremely exhausted after months of devastating war which has already taken many many lives and has actually completely destroyed the country's infrastructure and. it will be a libyan war is already causing divisions in washington with lawmakers demanding obama explain his charge into libya and account for the expense and the lack of progress a political radio host carmen russel's who translates says he doesn't believe congress will really pull the plug. the problem is that when there was a prior lawsuit during clinton's foray into the former yugoslavia dennis crucifixion a group of other congressmen even at that time filed a very similar lawsuit saying that it was illegal and it went to a district court but the district courts the individual congressmen did not have any sort of standing but the reality is i think still

a majority of congressmen are going to support the the actions in libya and afghanistan and so on congress is not going to. come and say we shouldn't be doing this and try to defund it and besides obama is currently using discretionary department of funds discretionary funds to get around it anyway so you know it's a question of how effective it would be worse you know to their benefit we do live in a military industrial complex type of world where they have they have the purse strings they have the power well there's still a lot for you ahead this hour including the amount of warfare in the gulf reports of a secret american drone base near yemen and words along preval great show the alleged civilian deaths in the latest attacks. russia and china are pumping gas though the price proves to be a problem but neither leave the summit empty handed after securing billions of dollars in business. and the tragedy of teen suicides russia struggles to

rein in that make even though experts say there's an all too obvious remedy at hand . all three days into his new job and greece's new finance minister has admitted he faces what he calls a real war and carrying out a raft of painful reforms to convince his e.u. counterparts to give greece new loans this much bigger task will be to get angry greeks onside to bear more cuts to jobs services and pay the appointment was part of a major cabinet reshuffle to try and calm the deep seems a theory being shown on the streets of athens our furthest. as in the capitol this week the latest violent protests broke out. the clashes between the police and the protest is still going on the family has a space ship headed to building fired into the crowd. to such things out along the flare it was

a time. people have one thing that he was going to go to the name of the place trying to find the pilot still breaking out. stuff i love the people of the c.b.c. nice people just to play with the gas masks and they really don't want to hold the film that it's been said that the people who. actually provoking the police people still beating back on the central state even though you can't think of that off by the place they turned out to protest to get a place to start their i guess about the economic situation that's been happening like ok they would not going to be able to head to play for that's really what we can really see the tensions between the people think in the crowd the police out there getting ready to retaliate still. see ted. as a situation that's a terrier i say the toughest police the police and fire. the managing by the looks

of things the pushback the police actually of the century star itself there's a lot of the protesters who are throwing things where in castle since we spoke to some of the main organizers trinity into english places today they said that they wanted it to be peaceful until the end of june and so any of these measures will cause see the police telling us take a sense of the crowd that it's pretty hard to breathe on the face no the truth has a funny one there's lots of people getting medical treatment around the place. but the violence is really around saying we're not entirely sure if these people when it gets lost or faking the police are actually part of the main crisis. and he said the people we spoke to said they wanted it and had even up until now up until earlier today when that provocation happened when the police started trying to push them by greek journalist illyana squeeze us the media was also among the general strike protests and he brings international bankers for a lure in greece into a debt from which it can't escape we cannot be all the money they hear it's

their interest rates all the money we take is in order to pay the high interest rate this is this is robbery this is theft this is swindle i can describe it anymore and the problem for them now is that people know that they realize that they see their income gone going down they see taxes taxes taxes and nothing else unemployment you think unemployment is this is what they telling you no real unemployment reached twenty five percent sure and this is a chaotic situation and the only responsible for this situation is the international monetary fund the minister of finance this government has failed. well greeks may be angry at their government for the crisis they're in but the germans are no less furious about having to pay for it all next hour r.t. speaks a german m.p. klaus peter welsh were explains why he thinks countries should look after themselves. in the treaties. that was

regulated that there must be any bailout because otherwise you will ruin the public finances of those countries who are contributing to it as long as each country is responsible for its budget has to take responsibility the only right answer to that is you'll be about. a modernized economy cured of corruption as one of the top priorities and president medvedev said to do list in which he outlined russia's direction and saying petersburg this week the international economic forum was staged to breathe new life into the country's investment climate and attracted some of the world's business and political heavyweights artie's unease about why sums up the show case highlights modernisation based on stifling corruption decentralizing power and government reforms all goals voiced by president mediated at this year's

international economic forum here in st petersburg where how russia is going to attempt to become one of the world's biggest and most of back to the colonies was laid out. we shouldn't hesitate to say goodbye to many bad habits we should focus on the following improving the investment climate in russia to create new jobs in the regions the creation of a police service and other security forces improving the effectiveness of the justice system and finally the modernization of government of course the main bad habit as the president calls it is corruption which he says is choking russia's economy this was his message to the country's officials that don't do business according to the law. the noose around of the neck of those who practice corruption should be tightened and the whole of russia or agrees with this without any exception is the government should be purged of corruption in a more decisive way and for that purpose we should in harms way those suspected of corruption are dismissed from public service another issue that's hampering

russia's economic development is it not being a member of the world trade organization lately we're hearing from a lot of officials that exception to the w t o for russia is possible by the end of this year the president agrees but says only under very specific circumstances. the order we have long been ready to join the w t o more than many other countries small or large still we are asked to make an unseemly large number of concessions this kind of approach is unacceptable russia will not agree to any evidently unfavorable solutions and of course presumably the one question on all of the minds of the business executive innovators and world leaders will president medvedev run for reelection well it is they of the question of the form and this is what motivated me to say yes. when i consider it appropriate to tell you whether i will do it or not i will come out and say it this forum is not the best place for that

one thing you can be sure of is that i will be able to avoid making a statement that's him he will not have to wait much longer. every story requires some kind of intrigue the boys will be no interest in living you know it to you so let's keep the intrigue a bit longer. and certainly no intrigue surrounding what platform it made of what is wrong and if it doesn't out he's running for reelection it will be all about modernization reporting from st petersburg anything now a party. well the far east came to russia's north this week as china's leader joined at the gathering in st petersburg calling for common efforts to get the global economy back on track described the recovery as slow and fragile and said more form is needed it followed his trip to moscow where talks failed to decide on a price to ship russian gas directly to china however the leaders pledged to increase trade between the two try trees and night against nato military campaign in libya major league baseball

a tickle scientist dr keil sure believes china and russia will be able to counter balance western supremacy urgent international. china russia trade an economic relationship and a huge development between two nations i believe is not only of the impacting the european continent but oversaw the provos scene i believe the world is at the crossroads historic crossroads or some may say the wallace and the brink of even being subdued war although coming to us nato military intervention in libya no moving into possibly syria or even to your wrong hole saw the s.c. all russia china china russia leaving leading this new global movement to balanced apollo in the wall and saw that they can build a new world order we are no more you need learn to row aggressive or you conclude

no methodology of being put into a sobering nation such as a levy or. a us judge says the case against alleged russian garden water victor boot is unconvincing and called the prosecutor's evidence been for years claimed the united states does not have the jurisdiction to prosecute him and want the charges dismissed artie's made a point my new york explains. he is the russian citizen and america fought relentlessly to adopt it there but was secretly and swiftly extradited to the u.s. seven months ago and this may be where he stays indefinitely if found guilty on arms smuggling and terrorism related charges fifty years could be. he's looking at why there's no parole there's no early release in the federal system really the only why in the federal system to get a reduction in your sentence. a significant reduction is if you cooperate with the

united states government some have argued. needs to be on captain america's team however how to america is being accused of playing dirty and illegally to remove the air cargo business man from thailand according to documents released by wiki leaks all levels of washington top to bottom mounted political pressure against bangkok to gain custody of boot in the us cable dated august thirteenth two thousand and nine u.s. president barack obama was urged to call thailand's prime minister directly about boot the u.s. attorney general in the state department were encouraged to call the thai ambassador highlighting the massive drug enforcement administration commitment to thailand and the us ambassador in bangkok urged the thai government to issue a public statement of disappointment at the judge's ruling not to extradite boot the way things stand right now they're willing to flaunt every international law to

get what they want and that means doing all these illegal things in the case of the extradite him or should say kidnapping who was arrested in bangkok in march two thousand and eight during a u.s. sting operation he was charged with conspiring to sell weapons to colombian fark rebels on two occasions the thai court rejected america's extradition request when an entourage of armed u.s. agents removed him from thailand following a decision of the thai government his extradition was still not legally approved the covert operation was kept secret from russia boots family and his attorney roy the case was not finalized and was moved to the us america used various means political and others outside the boundaries of jus legal process to get victor boot that means that victor boot is not getting a fair deal to this day high officials have not provided official documents explaining the legal grounds behind boats extradition. meantime victor boot remains

in the u.s. prison held in solitary confinement his wife doubts her husband will receive a fair trial from the country she says violated international and bilateral laws to get him which is that it's clear to everyone that the case has long been moved from the sphere of launch to politics i think around there i would love to think that the american court is unbiased and i have strong doubts about it because i think such a pressure could be put on anyone including the jury in. the country accusing viktor route of arms dealing now finds itself accused of political arm twisting come october an american jury will decide if the group future today our political pressure after size by the us remains evidently the arena point nine artsy new york . for more background and analysis head toward t. dot com where we outlined the data and timeline of the victor boot case and there

you can watch how the story unfolded. the elections in egypt might be postponed as the country's current prime minister says a new constitution must be drafted first or the country continues under military rule during which seven thousand people have been arrested since february's revolution activist david king says the uprising to install democracy has so far changed very little. some have been jailed simply for criticizing the government others have been brought up on spirits charges of quote unquote insulting the military but increasingly and certainly given the incredible high number of attentions to pensions of civilians not pensions of people who have you know tried

to undermine the regime but people simply criticizing the military this is a very dangerous trend egyptian dissidents and bloggers who are in prison in military prisons and they describe incredible torture they describe electrocution they described waterboarding they describe regular beatings and this was the egyptian military that stood behind mubarak until the last minute or so water have been gains and we hope that egypt has a broader future ahead of it there are still many many challenges that it's so much to overcome if egypt is going to move towards democracy and liberalism and openness in the west in fact has a very important role to play. well let's now check on some of today's made world news a suicide bomber has struck a german convoy in afghanistan the vehicle was carrying german soldiers and was destroyed in the attack but nato says there are no casualties however at least two civilians died of the explosion last month two german soldiers. were also killed a regional police commander. argentinian coast guard sees more

than four hundred kilos of cocaine on u.s. registered yachts to spaniards and about the ball left the day before the police raid for the c. weapons. including a machine gun which will supply the vessel capable of transatlantic sailing was about to head to europe. the operator of japan's devastated fukushima nuclear plant admits it underestimated just how much radiation it would have to filter from coolant water and its new decontamination system. after just five hours of operation the latest setback comes after the u.n. nuclear agency criticized tepco for its slow response at concealing the true rag of radioactive leaks james corbett was an online journalist. as the risk to people's health remains very real. any leaks of any kind are going to be an

incredible burden on the efforts that are already underway to try to clean up the water contaminated because they are now running out of space to actually store the contaminated water in the fukushima immediate vicinity of the plant and i believe within two weeks they're actually going to run out of space so they're trying to get a system on line for treating the water but apparently the test for that is going to be pushed back another few days it's already been pushed back from last friday there is no such thing as a safe level of radiation exposure that. any level of radiation exposure increases the risk of cancer and however negligible that risk with any particular person on any particular day at any particular spot when it's averaged out over a large population is living in the fukushima region unfortunately means there will be over time an increase in cancer rates there and it's really just a question of how many. and with one of the highest teen suicide rates in the world

russia has been jolted into action to reverse the worrying trend but experts say it's not that simple because there are several causes that can lead to tragedy if left are noticed and as our reports compassion is a cure but it's a remedy that's all too hard to come by. just days before final exams a t.v. crew was reporting and students gearing up for the laws that lee had of them a teacher's point you to believe there brought a student who it seemed had her future figured out which way should play stagers i want to become a journalist because it's very interesting and creative profession here doors to the world for me what is yet but instead of a school living sound of three hundred police classmates gathered like it here in are all sensing she may not be the best she added everything and hank herself. getting ready for the example we can believe in i was the one who walk to the barges good morning. mats problems and she was very much she wanted to graduate

isn't a great student. in many countries based chasseur exams in late december and early june sees peaks in the number of children taking their own lives but in russia it's a year round problem roughly one and a half thousand children in teenagers killed themselves every year that's much higher than the average say in the united states and britain. problem is so out of hand that when i was on the president's advantage he found it hard to believe it is a truly frightening every year. children make attempts on their lives at the ship kills app to four times more likely to act town suicide it's two boys who by a long way actually succeeded in killing himself eager is different his try to take his life three times the latest the time just six months ago. i just had enough i

was tired of fighting with my mom my girlfriend left me i was fed up with starting i couldn't stand seeing the streets and hearing all this noise i just wanted everything and i want peace what's driving the problem in russia is what aspects called alone emotional literacy psychological or so. katherine is underdeveloped in north easily available now and there's the stigma. committed in the state of emotional distress over time. even if parents notice that many would rather ignore them and to take their kid to a psychologist or psychiatrist which actually added to the continuing social and economic shift we can you target for parents to provide for their children moving little time for talking listening this morning meant is that it catered to children who have fallen victim to bar says alcoholism drug abuse prosecution and i want to

those can drive a child to take his or her own life but in the santror of this overall the bigger star is one that seems policy broadening almost commonplace yet it represents what x.-press say is the main reason why russia is leaving europe and the number of teen suicides that is in difference seeing no evil hearing cries. artsy. the u.s. is stepping up its unmanned drone attacks on yemen claiming to target al qaeda militants well there have been reports of a secret cia base being built in the persian gulf with the sole purpose of taking down and the american terrorists if they manage to win through with yemen's power struggle well it's thought that over one hundred people have been killed in the past two weeks and witnesses on the ground say be included a lot more civilians than is being admitted in the u.k. attack helicopters and commandos squads are being prepared for a possible deployment in the country or british m.p. jeremy corbyn believes the west is doing the direct opposite of what you have

a need for stability. if the west goes in with starts bombing on behalf of unclear who then i think then that will make the situation markedly worse yemen has huge poverty and social issues it's the poorest country in the region it's a median age population is less than eighty and it has the greatest social descriptions of any country in the whole region the last thing you need is more bombing what it needs is peace what it needs is people coming together and it needs overseas aid to help develop any government political unity. to bring together all of the factions and all of the interests across the euro i cannot believe that. we should bring this approach and in their haste to be involved with us look to me like you're in danger of making all the mistakes they made an afghanistan and not in seventy you know i mean they rushed in as part of the cold war anyone that turned up offered to fight on their behalf and the us was. well over the last

century the u.s. has a stylish hundreds of military bases around the world and in just a few minutes we bring you a special report on this expanding and the risks of the countries hosting them well that's after a recap of our headlines. the .
