12:02 pm
times and many people found them very poor as we were told at least four families have been living in the damaged houses which is from proud to fourteen people. under the rubble who were able to shine children and two adults a man and a woman who will all of us a little over 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 are saying that there is little hope that 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 heard the libyan government spokesperson looked at him aside for him has come since protests this happened and he has this civilian area had been hit by may take fright they were attacked by rockets on the sky people were killed children with my own hands with my own eyes i still am helping out little girls who
12:03 pm
were killed and getting boys the father and the mother to hold down these barriers and put this attack you cannot just because i just the dark anything this is the kitchen sink in this incident consummates continuing intense bombardment all believe it by nato 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 settle the professedly when conflict has recently signed peace mediator to believe it or try to explain the war in size to start talking after. the rebels in benghazi and roping off the people here and secretly make oh my god has said that he believes the reason for peaceful solution of this crisis with both sides saying they are ready for negotiations with the needs are now ready to
12:04 pm
provide an appropriate location for tolls but people actually extremely exhausted after months of devastating war which has already taken many many lives and has actually completely destroyed the country's infrastructure. well the libya was already causing divisions in washington with lawmakers demanding obama explain his charge into libya and account for the expense and lack of progress but political radio host carmen russell's a 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 for eons through the former yugoslavia then excuse an intern in 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 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 we're going to support the actions in libya and afghanistan and so on. you know in mass come and say we shouldn't
12:05 pm
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. much more ahead for you this hour including the unmanned warfare in the gulf reports of the secret american drone place an engagement of merger line with outrage of the alleged civilian deaths and the latest attacks report from you for you just a couple of minutes hence also the tragedy of teen suicides russia's struggles to rein in an epidemic even though experts say there's no need to obvious remedy and it's coming up as well. now though three days it is job and greases new finance ministers admitted he faces quote a real war in carrying out a raft of painful reforms convinces e.u.
12:06 pm
counterparts to give greece new loans is much bigger task will be to get angry greeks on side the bear move jobs overseas and take your point that was part of a major cabinet reshuffle to try and calm the deep seated fury being shown on the streets of athens i think sara firth was in the capital this week when the latest violent protests broke out. the clashes between the police and the protesters still thank god they have a safety pin headed. building fired in the crowd. dysfunctional things out along the fence larry that would kill. people have one thing that he was going to call the name of the place trying to find the proper violent self breaking out. to be not so i love the people of the species the nice people tyson fight with the gas masks all they really don't want that whole film that has been said that the people who. actually provoking the police the people still beating back on the central
12:07 pm
state even though you can have a freak out still think that was part of the plate they turned out to protest to get a person started by said the rag about the economic situation has been happening in that country and they were the fans not going to be able to head to the place where abouts really got me thinking the tensions between the people cranking the crowds the police about getting ready to retaliate stuff. that. three ten. was a situation that's a terrorist say the toughest police back in the police are trying. them managing by the looks of things the pushback the police actually of the such a star itself there's a lot of the protesters who are throwing things so i guess since we spoke to some of the main organized trinity unions to organize protests 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 all take us into the crowd that it's pretty hard to
12:08 pm
breathe only strays not to pleasant for anyone there's lots of people getting medical treatment around the place. but the violence is really are saying we're not entirely sure if these people when the gas masks the provoking the place or actually part of the main process as he said the people we spoke to said they wanted it to be peaceful and it has been up. hell out there larry it's over and that was the case it happened when the police. i correspond sort of in athens for us and the week. british banks are getting jittery over greece are currently pulling billions out of funding the eurozone so they don't get stung anymore let's get the thoughts of that now from a lot of a new season international consultant and former belgian deputy speaker is joining us on the line from brussels very good every thank you for being on r.t. france and germany was we've seen him a week again desperately trying to get the banks to help but he can't really blame british firms carney for running scared from the euro do you think we'll see others take flight as well well first of all i think you can blame british banks for doing
12:09 pm
what they're doing i mean this is some kind of social feeling prophecy let's not forget it also british banks just like the french and the germans had their own public support recently the problem is why word in all conditions on this public are stunning i think. goldman is sure a total lack of social responsibility the question and a reason why are they here in the first place there must be a purpose and the purpose is not profits the purpose is to public welfare to see only one i can accept and that is not their priority i guess the budgets are going to argue they're getting mixed messages on the one hand they're told they shouldn't take massive risk that they did that in the big crash two thousand and eight on the other hand the being encouraged to throw more money into a situation like crazy even though the first bailout of billions failed to do the job but nigrosin is is that really the mixed message that we got from the crisis in two thousand and eight in my opinion is that the missiles that they got from the
12:10 pm
crisis is that you can go on doing what you do with all these risky loans will burn you out anyway with taxpayer money as it did in the past that is the real message that seek it they can go on doing those risky things because they will get bailed out now and that is the message did a c. really going to these banks where you know what money gold those euros those billions of euros that were poured into green. in portugal where it will go on but first of all i'm not denying that there is the need for the basic reform within the greek public institutions where the debt is the real cause and the real solution honey doubted i mean crises like these are considered big opportunities by big financial institutions it was so in the past and it is so today where is the money gone and well i think you don't have to look for the money has gone to financial institution to wealthy elites who are actually benefiting from this. thought. by the fisa bailouts what kind of bailouts for who for what purpose that is the
12:11 pm
question of the bill i said we had so far was look we give you all this taxpayer money without any conditions so you can keep on going doing what you did that is not the kind of bailout that i should or certainly a lot of just even today we've seen protests in spain in france against having austerity measures being imposed their people are uncertain about their future in europe now who can give the guarantee first of all you can hardly blame them for being uncertain about the future i mean all the social achievements of the last thirty years are put in jeopardy by these financial so-called financial reforms and this thing is this is a question about what is democracy and what is the moxie for i think the marks for the people not for financial institution it's as simple as that even the most optimistic observers know the euro as an intensive care can argue about that i mean in order to save it do you think some nations do need to make up for a now or going to go down with a sinking ship. well the. idea that europe is in the trouble but i think in the
12:12 pm
words like intensive care are not helping and first of all it's not true it's in trouble but a moment like the dollar has been in trouble before like these are crises and they can be solved if there is a political will to solve them the question is how useful for what purpose is it for public good or is it for the good to do goods the interest of a specific interest question not of an international consultant former deputy speaker of the belgian parliament explain a program thank you very much later this hour as well we've got an interview with a german m.p. close peter velshi shares his views about bailing out greece and why he thinks the country should look after themselves. next modernised economy cured of corruption is one of the top priorities in president good but it was to do list in which he outlined russia's direction in some petersburg this week the international economic forum a stage to breathe new life into the country's investment climate that attracted
12:13 pm
some of the world's business and political heavyweights that is innocent now is sums up the showcase highlights plan as they sent based on stifling corruption de france realizing power and government reforms all goals voiced by president medvedev at this year's international economic forum theory think petersburg where how russ is going to attempt to become one of the world's biggest and most productive 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 methods to the country's official they don't do business according to the maam. the noose around with the neck of those who practice
12:14 pm
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 harms way those suspected of corruption are dismissed from public service another issue that's hampering versus economic development is it not being a member of the world trade organization lately we're hearing from a lot of officials that excitement to the w.t. over russia is possible by the end of this year the president agrees but says only under very specific circumstances. and. 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 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
12:15 pm
their first one question of the form and this is what needed to say yes sure 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 we 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 and what wrong if it doesn't else he's running for reelection it will be all about modernization reporting from st petersburg anything now a party. iran has promised to be constructive and transparent with the u.n. nuclear watchdog it came as the united nations consider new sanctions on iran's atomic plans demanding proof that the program was peaceful we spoke to iran's envoy
