as to whether the president will run for a second term as he rounded off the international economic forum in st petersburg. we're watching r t just after seven pm here in moscow thanks for joining us and we begin in libya where libyan officials report seven civilians including two babies have been killed in an apparent made to air strike on a house in the koppel the incident comes amid reinvigorated nato bombing as the alliance grows increasingly desperate to break the stalemate at the national reports from the capital tripoli and you may find some of the images in this report upsetting. residents of sydney seem a distance here in tripoli have been woken up by a strike in the middle of the night a bomb possible norms landed here the story as you can see behind me several three

story buildings cries of densely populated area where buildings standing very close to each other time to many people some of them very poor as we were told at least forty families have been living in the damaged houses which is from twelve to fourteen people living. under the rubble we were able to shine children and two adults a man and a woman who will about the little room some of the people are still missing as you can see behind me the rescue operation is now undergoing the 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 government spends person to put him aside for him has come to since two thousand this happened and he has this civilian

area had been hit by may take pride they want to go out by rockets in the sky people would go kill them with my own hands with my own eyes i still am helping out little girls who would kill and get the boys the father on the mother to hold back and that is very much under this attack you cannot justify does the dark anything this is the. this incidence consummates continuing intense bombardment of the rabbi 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 miss remains to stifle the process of even conflict has recently signed a peace treaty a chance to leave it to try to restrain the warring size to start talking after. seen the rebels in benghazi and brought up the people here in the police make oh my god has he believes the relief for peaceful solution of this crisis where both

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

a majority of congressmen are star you know going to support the actions in libya and afghanistan and so on congress is not going to you know in mass come and say that 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 it works in 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 on mount of warfare in the gulf reports of a secret american drone base near you haven't emerged along with outrage for the alleged civilian deaths and the latest attacks. russia and china we are pumping gas though the price proves to be a problem but neither of the the summit empty handed after securing billions of dollars in business. and the tragedy of teen suicides russia's struggles to

rein in an epidemic even though webster say there's an obvious remedy. now three days into his 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 bigger task will be to get angry greeks on side to bear more parts to job services and pay you point that was part of a major cabinet reshuffle to try and calm the deep seated fury being shown on the streets of athens r.t. sara first wasn't become ill this week when the latest violent protests broke out. because it's between the police on the protesters still going to be some of the history. of the crowd. the stuntmen got along the fence larry it was great that. people him what was going on at the moment at

least trying to find the crowd that finally right. i love the people of the species the next he would let them but when they got small still they really don't want to hold film that it's been said that the people who. provoking the police people still beating back on the central slave in the you can handle the things that's off by the plate they planned out it's a great time to get it because they are there i guess about economics. has been happening that cocktail they want is not going to be able to. play for about really got anything attaches between the people cranking the crowd the police are getting ready to retaliate. the crowd. look at the situation that lead to terry say they're trying to fight the fight in

the police or try. that managing by the looks of things to push back the police actually off the such as they're itself there's a lot of the protesters who are throwing things wearing gas masks and we spoke to some of the main organizers from the t.v. and you would like the greatest today and they said that they wanted it to be peaceful until the end of jena so any of these measures will cause see the police the letting of take us into the crowd that incredibly hard to breathe only space not to pleasant for anyone there's lots of people getting medical treatment around the place. but the violence is really a rough thing and we're not entirely sure if these people when you got to the provoking the police are actually part of the main phrase that as we said the people we spoke to said they wanted it to be peaceful and it has been up until now up until early it's day when that provocation happened when the police started to try and push them by that. journalist illyana scree sister midis was also among the general strike protests and he was international bankers for luring greece into a debt from which it can't escape. we cannot pay all of the money they hear it's

very interest rates all the money we take is in order to pay the high interest rates this is this is robbery this is theft this is swindle i can't describe it any more and the problem for them now is that people know that they realize that they see their income don't going down they see taxes taxes taxes and nothing else unemployment you think unemployment is this is what they come in you know realign employment rates twenty five percent sure and this is a chaotic situation and the owner is possible for this situation is a national want to go from the minister of finance this government has failed all greeks may be angry at their government for the crisis to random but the germans are no less furious about having to pay for it next hour r.t. speaks a german m.p. klaus peter welsh who explains why he thinks countries should look after themselves . and you would treaties it was regulated

that there must be any bailout because otherwise you will ruin the public finances so for those countries who are contributing to it as long as each country is responsible for its budget has to take full responsibility and the only right answer to that is nobody about. a not an eis economy cured of corruption is one of the top priorities in president medvedev is to do list in which he outlined russia's direction in st 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 artes and he said now is sums up the showcase highlights. modern as they sent based on stifling corruption deeth actualizing power and government reforms all goals voiced by president needed if 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 active economies was laid out stu says 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 modern 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 my neck of those who practice corruption should be tightened and the whole of russia or agrees with this without any exception if the government should be purged of corruption in a more decisive way and for that purpose we should in harm's 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 exactly to the w.t. over russia is possible by the end of this year the president agrees but says only under very specific circumstances. the model we have long been ready to join the w t o more than many other countries small or large and still we are asked to make an unseemly large number of concessions if 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 was their first question of the form and this is what medvedev got 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 that statement that he will not have to wait much longer. every story requires some kind of intrigue for the boys will be no interest in living. so let's keep the intrigue a bit longer. and certainly no intrigue surrounding what platform it would run on if it doesn't else he's running for reelection it will be all about modernization reporting from st petersburg anything our way our city. well the far east came to russia's north this week as china's leader joined the gathering in st petersburg calling for common efforts to get the global economy back on track hu jintao described the recovery as slow and fragile and said more reform is needed hu jintao described the recovery as slow as he said that followed his trip to moscow where talks failed to decide on a price to ship russian gas directly into china last year moscow and beijing agreed to start supplies of siberia natural gas to energy hungry carried out through

a new pipeline which should be built by twenty fifteen dr bao if you choose an expert in russia china relations is optimistic but says a deal worth a trillion dollars takes time. the negotiation will be tough there will be a lot of terms that need to be determined negotiated it takes time but i'm basically optimistic of our turf signing a deal out of italy because of the fundamental factors are there this to economists are highly complimentary to each other so it must even be you it's find it will be a win win situation russia need to be more diversified in terms of market. alongst to also was about worth the fight it's a supply of energy sources for instance it used to depend heavily on the middle east so we all know the recent history is there so so tiny hunger for a new energy source and suddenly this this period rich and china can buy

a large. amount of gas from russia they have to again to stable and long term reliable energy resources a u.s. judge says the case against an alleged russian gun runner victor boot is convincing and call the prosecutor's evidence then lawyers claim the united states does not have jurisdiction to prosecute him and they want the charges dismissed but in a port in new york explains. he is the wrong. citizen america thought relentlessly to adopt the curb it 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 if you use could be. he's looking at life there's no parole there's no early release of the federal system really the only way in the federal system to get a reduction in your samples. a significant reduction is if you cooperate with the

united states government some have argued. beyond captain america's team however captain 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's top to bottom mounted political pressure against bangkok to gain custody of in a us cable dated august thirteenth two thousand and nine u.s. president barack obama was urged to call the highlands prime minister directly about boot the u.s. attorney general and 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 that high government to issue a public statement of disappointment at the judge's ruling not to extradite 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 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 i'm talking the type 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 but it's family and his attorney roy the case was not finalized and was moved to the u.s. and europe to use various means political and others outside the boundaries of due legal process to get the tribute that means that it is not getting a fair deal to this day tired fishes had not provided official documents explaining the legal grounds behind boots 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 it's to get him. it's clear to everyone that the case has long been moved from the sphere of laws of politics i think around there i would love to think that the american court is unbiased but i'm strong doubts about it because i think such pressure could be put on anyone including the jury and. the country accusing viktor booth of arms dealing now finds itself accused of political harm was to come october an american jury will decide picked up a future want to be a political pressure at your side by the u.s. army and evidently the arena fortnight artsy new york. well for more background and law says head to our team dot com where we outlined the data and time live in the

victor boot case and there you can also watch how the story unfolded. if. elections in egypt might be postponed as the country's current prime minister says a new constitution must be drafted first while the country continues to be under military rule very rich around seven thousand people have been arrested since february revolution activists david king says the uprising to install democracy has so far changed very little some have been jailed simply for criticizing the government but others have been brought up on periods charges of insulting the military but increasingly and certainly given the incredible high number of detentions detentions of civilians not conscience 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 waters were imprisoned in military prisons and they describe incredible torture they describe electrocution they described water according to described regular beatings and this was the egyptian military that stood behind mubarak control the last minute so while there have been gains and we hope that egypt has a brighter future ahead of it there are still many many challenges that it's still hard 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. that's not check on some of today's main world news a suicide bomber has struck a german convoy of northern afghanistan if you call was carrying german soldiers and was destroyed in the attack but nato says there are no troop casualties however at least two civilians died in the explosion last month two german soldiers died in the tap which also killed a regional police commander. argentinian coast guards have seized more than four

hundred kilos of cocaine on board a luxury u.s. registered yacht two spaniards who found the boat lead the day before the police raid thought the same weapons were also found on board including a machine gun which was primed for use the vessel capable of transatlantic sailing was about to head to europe. the operator of japan's that devastated fukushima nuclear plant underestimated just how much radiation it would have to filter from water its new decontamination system after just five hours of operation the latest setback comes after you read nuclear agency criticized tepco for its. concealing the true magnitude of radioactive week's game score better as an online journalist . the risk to people's health remains very real. any new 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 decontaminated because they are now running out of space to actually store the contaminated water in the fukushima in the 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 so 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 may be with any particular person on any particular day at any particular spot when it's averaged out over a large population like us living in the fukushima region unfortunately means there will be over time increasing in cancer rates there and it's really just a question of how many. football spectators are often seen clashing with security

officers but in the russian town of nizhny novgorod policing turned on a player instead a striker for st petersburg then it's what he was given a jolt of vaults by an officer he was hit when he approached his team spanned the celebrate their victory police say the spectators became but denied losing eight these are gone players well over a medical check up from the striker that suffered burns electric shock. 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 unnoticed as artie's acts on a boy to 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 belt laws that lay ahead of them the teachers pointed to bullying or their brightest student who it seemed had her

future figured out which way should play station i want to become a journalist because it's very interesting and creative profession and tossed to the world for me this year but instead of a school living celebration pulling his classmates gathered for a funeral something she may not be the best she added everything and hank herself with agendas and she would have been getting ready for the example weeks pollini i was the one who works the hardest born. out of math problems and she was very modest she wanted to graduate isn't a great student. in many countries this trask's of 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 in a half thousand children and teenagers kill themselves every year that's much higher than the average scene in the united states and britain. problem is so out

of hand that when i was informing the president about it i found it hard to believe the figures are truly frightening every year thousands of children make attempts on their lives. up to four times more likely to attempt suicide yet it's still boys who by a long way actually succeed in killing themselves. eager is different his trying to take his life three times the latest a 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 studying 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 experts call a low emotional literacy psychological or psychiatric help is underdeveloped and not easily available then there is the stigma. suicide to reach him to a committed in a state of emotional distress which builds over time. even if parents notice that

many would rather ignore them take their kid to a psychologist or psychiatrist added to that continuing social and economic shift we can need harder for parents to provide for their children leaving little time for talking and listening this morning meant is that we cater to children all and victim to adult arses alcoholism drug abuse prostitution and i want to go with can drive a child to take his or her own life but in this country of this overly bigger spends one that's in squalor as progeny almost commonplace yet it represents what x. parents say is the main reason why russia is leading europe and the number of teen suicide about us and difference being no ego hearing price it's not about the artsy. the u.s. is stepping up its drone attacks on yemen claiming to target al qaeda militants but

there have been reports of a secret cia base being built in the persian gulf with the sole purpose of taking down anti american terrorists if they managed to win through in yemen's power struggle it's thought that over one hundred people have been killed in the past two weeks and witnesses on the ground say they included a lot more civilians than is being admitted in the u.k. attack helicopters and commando squads are being prepared for a possible deployment in the country british m.p. jeremy corbin believes the west is doing the direct opposite of what yemen for stability if the west goes in with our starts bombing on behalf of unclear who then i think will make the situation markedly worse that yemen has huge poverty and social issues it's the poorest country in the region its median age population is the less than eight and it has the greatest social discrepancies 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 it develop any government political unity and. to bring together all of the fractions and all the interest across the euro i cannot believe that drove you to bring this about i mean their haste to be involved the us looked to me like they're in danger of making all the mistakes they made in afghanistan in one thousand seven hundred ninety when they rushed in as part of the cold war. turned up offering to fight on their behalf and the us was called the tarver. over the last century the u.s. has a stablished hundreds of military bases around the world and in just a few minutes we bring you a special report on this expanding web and the risks to the countries hosting them that's up for a recap of our headlines in just a moment.
