keeps moving over whether the president will run for a second term as he runs off the international economic for instance i think as. both of you watching our team from moscow and our round up of the week's top stories with me kevin no it's now nine pm here and first nato says it's possible that one of its strikes killed seven civilians including two babies in an airstrike that hit a residential area of tripoli a distant comes amid reinvigorated nato bombing has the alliance grows increasingly desperate to break the stalemate. now reports from the capital tripoli you may find some of the images coming up in a report upset. residents of citizen with districts here in st louis have been broken up by a strike in the middle of the night a bomb or several bombs landed here the story as you can see behind me several

three story buildings spited densely populated area with buildings standing very close to each other home to many people found them very poor as we were told at least four families have been living in the damaged houses which is from twelve to fourteen people. under the rubble we were able to shine four children and two adults a man and a woman who will 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 that someone could be alive the buildings on the opposite side of this street have also been possibly damaged but we were told that no one from there has been hurt the libyan government's first person look to the cyber him has come to this info just 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 with the girls who were killed and getting the boys the plug on the mother to hold them that is perish under this attack you cannot justify this attack would you name me this is the incident and this incident consummates continuing intense bombardment all the way 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 miss remains to suffer the protracted leave in conflict has recently signed a peace mediator to believe it would try to displace the warring sides to start talking after. see the rebels in benghazi and productive people here in st louis make oh my god has found that he believes there really is hope for peaceful solution of this crisis with both sides say they are ready for negotiations with

the knees are now ready to provide inappropriately cation photos but 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 if an archon of their libyan 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's common russel's a chance he told us he doesn't believe congress will really pull the plug. the problem is that when there was a prior lawsuit during clinton's four into the former yugoslavia dennis kucinich and a group of other congressmen even at that time filed a very similar lawsuit saying that it was illegal and they went to a district court but the district court said end of 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 is not going to. come and say that we shouldn't be doing this and try to define 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 if it works 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 so much more ahead for you this half hour of news including the unmanned warfare in the gulf reports of a secret american drone base near gammon emerge along with rage alleged civilian deaths in the latest attacks as we report also news of the tragedy of teen suicide's russia's struggles to raise is an epidemic even though experts say there's also were obvious remedy and. three days into his job in greece's new finance ministers admitted he faces quote a real war in carrying out

a raft of painful reforms to convince his e.u. counterparts to give greece new loans it's much bigger task will be to get angry greeks on side to bear more cuts to jobs. employment was part of a major cabinet reshuffle to try and calm the deep seated fear of being shown on the streets of athens to sara first of the week was in the capital when the latest violent protests broke out. the clashes between the police and the protesters still thank god the family has an estate you can head to. build a fire in the crowd he didn't think it is such a thing but along with that flare it would kill. people have a place that people can go to the name of the place trying to find a proper final film breaking up. the pilot of the people on the streets the nice people just comply with the caspar still they really want adult film that has been said that the people who have a high cipro taking the. people still moving back and suspension slaven are you can

have a steak i still think that's off the plate they turned out to take time to get a place to start their i guess about the economic situation has been happening in that country and they were not going to be able to feel ok about really. anything the tensions between say people think in the crowd the police about getting ready to retaliate stay. with the situation that the terrorists say the toughest the fighting the police supplied. the managing by the looks of things to push back the place actually of the such a scary itself there's a lot of the pay testator throwing things so i guess since he spoke to some of the main organizers trinity unions to organize protests today they said that they wanted it to be peaceful until the end of today so any of these measures will cause

see the police killing of take us into the crowd that incredibly hard to treat only strays not to pleasant for anyone there's lots of people getting medical treatment around the place. but the violence is really rough saying when the entirely sure if these people when the gas masks that affecting the place are actually part of the same process as he said the people we spoke to said they consider it to be peaceful and he has been up. well now. when that earthquake that happened over the police started. a correspondent sarah firth in athens for us in the week british m.p. nigel farage says the use high officials need to greece and other struggling countries to stay in the euro zone to prove that the project works i have been trying with president calderon poyet with president barroso with all the people that lead the what is plan b. isn't it time we have busy the greece portugal are and are not suited to the euro zone isn't it better that we that they come out they get their own currencies back

they have a devaluation and then of course some of the variants have to take a hit but they won't hear of it here because as far as they're concerned in brussels the euro the economic and military union is a political project they see it as a stepping stone to united states of europe had been not prepared to admit they got it horribly wrong and for bad frankly they couldn't care less if tens of millions of people across europe lose their jobs that doesn't matter to the european commission provided they can maintain the euro and keep propping up the banks but all this says british banks are getting jittery over greece apparently pulling billions out of funding the euro zone so they don't get stuck anymore a former belgian parliament deputy speaker told me tonight that bailout cash designed to cure europe's struggling economies is being pocketed other wealthy instead. crises like these are considered big opportunities by big financial

institutions it was surrendered vast and it is so today where is the money gone well i think you don't have to look far and money has gone to financial institution to wealthy elites who are actually benefiting from this crisis bailouts what kind of beer large hoop for what purpose that is the question the bill is there we had so far was look we give you all these taxpayer money without any conditions so you can keep on going doing what you did and that is not the kind of bailout i squat certainly craigs maybe angry at their government for the crisis they read but the germans are no less furious about having to pay for it next hour on the program are to speak to german m.p. kospi to view the show explains why he thinks e.u. countries should look after themselves. in the you will treaties you was regulated to that there must be any bailout because otherwise you will ruin the public you finances so for those countries who are contributing to it as

long as each country is responsible for its budget is to take full responsibility the only right answer to that is will be a lot. modernized economy cured of corruption us one of the top priorities in president medvedev to do list of which he outlined russia's direction in some pittsburgh this week international economic forum a stage to breathe new life into the country's investment climate that attracted some of the world's business and political heavyweights to his innocence now as such as up the showcase highlights. modernization based on stifling corruption de france realizing power and government reforms all goals voiced by president medvedev at this year's international economic forum here is think petersburg where how process going to attempt to become one of the world's biggest and most effective a 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 modern police service and over 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. but. the noose around the neck of those who practice corruption should be tightened and the whole of russia 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 process economic development is that not being a member of the world trade organization lately we're hearing from a lot of officials that exception to the w.t. over russia is possible by the end of this year the president agrees but says only

under very specific circumstances. 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 executives top innovators and world leaders will president medvedev run for reelection well it was the official last question of the form and this is what medvedev at suspect 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 won't be able to avoid making a statement. so you will not have to wait much longer. every story requires some kind of intrigue the boys will be no interest in living with you so let's keep the intrigue a bit longer. and certainly no intrigue surrounding what platform it would

run on if it does announce he's running for reelection it'll be all about modernization reporting from st petersburg and he's now a party. far east to russia's north this week is china's leader joined the gathering in some petersburg calling for common efforts to get the global economy back on track who described the recovery is slow and fragile and said more form is needed and followed his trip to moscow which will fail to decide on the price to ship russian gas directly into china however the leaders did pledge to increase trade between the two countries to unite against nato's military campaign in libya raging based political scientist told r.t. he believes china and russia will be able to counter balance western supremacy on urgent international problems. good china russia trade an economic relationship and the huge development between two nations i believe is not only of

the impacting the european continent but all saw the global scene i believe the wall these are at the crossroads historic crossroads or some may say the wallace and the brink of either being you all are all coming to us nato military intervention in libya now moving into possibly syria or even to iran horse or the air sea or russia or china or taiwan are the russians are leading leading this new robot moving on to balance of power in the walls or did they can build a new world order where nor more unilateral aggressive or even clone your own method ology being put into a sovereign nation such as libya and moreover made stories from the week us judge said the case against an alleged russian government i think to boot is unconvincing and it's called the prosecutor's evidence thin lawyers claim united states doesn't

have jurisdiction to prosecute him and they want the charges dismissed his report york explains. he is the russian citizen and their car thought relentlessly to adopt it was secretly and swiftly extradited to the u.s. seven months ago and this may be where he stays indefinitely is found guilty on arms smuggling and terrorism related charges fifty years convict. 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 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 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 top to bottom mounted political pressure against bangkok to gain custody of boot in a us cable dated august thirteenth two thousand and nine us president barack obama was urged to call thailand's 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 the thai 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 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 talk asia it's a 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 boots family and his attorney. the case was not finalized and was moved to the us america used various means political and others outside the boundaries of due legal process to get through to root that means that it is not getting a fair deal to this day high officials have not provided official documents explaining the legal grounds behind the 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. it's clear to everyone that the case has long been moved from the sphere of wants 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 in. the country accusing victor boot of arms dealing now finds itself accused of political harm to state come october an american jury will decide victor boot future locked in a political pressure at surfside by the u.s. army evidently the arena fortnight artsy new york which is a long running and complicated story for what more analysis is on our web site out . the whole story there the date of the timeline in a victim case you can see it all unfolded.

elections in egypt might be postponed as the country's current prime minister says a new constitution must be drafted first the country continues to be under the tree rule during which around seven thousand people have been arrested since federal reserve revolution how could this david keys says the uprising to install democracy is so for change very little. some have been jailed simply for criticizing the government others have been brought up on spirits charges of who are quote 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 bloggers who were imprisoned in military prisons and they describe incredible torture they describe electrocution they describe water according to describe the regular beatings and this was the egyptian military that stood behind mubarak until 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 starts to overcome if you ship is going to move towards democracy and liberalism and openness in the west in fact has a very important role to play also making news tonight his suicide bomber struck a german called void in afghanistan vehicles carrying german soldiers and destroyed nato says there are no true casualties over at least two civilians. taliban says it carried out. the operator of japan's devastated fukushima nuclear plant will open the doors of one of its reactor buildings to vent radioactive gases it's to prevent another explosion tepco also admits it's underestimated just how much radiation it would have to filter from cool water the latest setback comes of the u.n. nuclear agency criticize tepco for its slow response and concealing the true magnitude of radioactive leaks james corbett is not allowing journalists in osaka says 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 or decontaminated because they are now running out of space to actually stored 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 will be with any particular person and any particular date any particular spot when it's averaged out over a large population like it's living in the fukushima region that unfortunately means there will be over time an increase in cancer rates there and it's really just a question of how many. was one of the highest suicide rates in the world russia's

big jolt into action to try to reverse the warming trend and experts say it's not that simple because there are several causes that could lead to tragedy if left of notice as our tips on avoiding reports compassion is acute but sadly it's a remedy that sort. just days before final exams a t.v. crew was reporting and students gearing up for the lives that lee had of them the teachers pointed to bullying or their brightest student who it seemed had her future figured out a stage i want to become a journalist because it's a very interesting and creative profession which would open doors to the world for me all this yet but inside of a school living celebration polygamist classmates gathered for hip uniroyal something she may not be the best she and everything and hank herself with agendas and she would have been getting ready for the example weeks and clean i was the one who works it hardest of all she thought and her note of math problems and she was

very much she wanted to graduate in a grade student in many countries this 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 and teenagers kill themselves every year that's much higher than the average scene in the united states and britain. the problem is so out of hand that when i was informing the president about it i found it hard to believe because a truly frightening every year thousands children make attempts on their lives. and girls are up to four times more likely to attempt suicide it is still boys who by a long way actually succeed in killing themselves. eagar is different he's trying 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 that it was

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 experts call a low emotional literacy psychological or psychiatric help is underdeveloped and not easily available then there is the stigma. committed in a state of emotional distress which builds over time there are warning signs even if parents notice that many would rather ignore them and to take their kid to a psychologist or psychiatrist added to that continuing social and economic shift making it harder for parents to provide for their children and leaving little time for talking and listening this morning meant is that we cater to children who fall and victim to adult bars this alcoholism drug abuse prosecution and i want to go as can drive a child to take his or her own life but in the fancher of this i would only wicket

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 of populations the rest in eighty and it has the greatest social discrepancies of any country in the whole region the last thing it needs is more bombing what it needs is peaceful needs people coming together and it needs overseas aid to help develop any government oh political duty to merge is asked to bring together all of the factions and all of the interest across the yemen i cannot believe that. liking to bring this about and in their haste to be involved the us looked to me like you're in danger of making all the mistakes they made in afghanistan in nineteen seventy nine when they rushed in as part of the cold war armed anyone that turned up offering to fight on their behalf and thus was born the taliban. we called it the day i had her leg most of somewhere in russian resorts in
