whether the president will run for a second term as he runs off the international economic forum and some papers. welcome you watching our team from moscow and iran to the week's top stories my name's kevin know it it's one am here now in the first meter was admitted its forces killed civilians in a botched air strike on a residential area in tripoli on sunday the regime officials say nine died including two babies in a statement the allied said one of its weapons went astray because of a systems failure as it was targeting a military missile site. who is looking into reports of civilian casualties following nato airstrikes in the early hours of this morning instance spot widespread public outrage among libyans with gadhafi officials saying it proves their long held argue with that nato is striking no military targets even so the

western military alliance launched more strikes on tripoli just hours later as nato is company that has a fourth months now libya's health ministry claims almost nine hundred civilians have been killed by the west in that offensive parties are a financial reports next from the capital tripoli you may find some of the pictures coming up in her report disturbing. the residents of secrecy ministers here in st louis have been working out by a strike in the middle of the night and gone past several bombs landed here this story as you can see behind me several three story buildings quite a densely populated area with buildings standing very close to each other time to many people found 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 four children into adults a man and

a woman oh oh some of the people are still missing as you can see behind me the rescue operation is not undergoing but 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 hurt the libyan government spokesperson looked at him aside but he has come to the scene shortly after this happened and he has this civilian area had been hit by nature take strike 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 were killed and getting the boys the father and. but the whole time that is that is under this attack you can not justify this attack would you need. to do this incident comes to me it's continuing intense bombardment of the very nature longs are actually being drawn day and night we all the time hearing sounds

of heavy explosions russian which has always been against ministry means distractable the press laughably even conflict has recently signed a peace mediator to leave it right there were incised to start talking after. the rebels in benghazi and propping up the people here in the police. he believes their release 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 talks 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. of course put a roof an ocean of their will it was already causing marriages in washington with lawmakers demanding obama explain his charge into libya on account for the expense

and lack of progress but political radio host carbon russel's a chance he told us he doesn't believe congress will be ready to pull the plug the problem is that when there was a prior lawsuit during clinton's or for eons through the former yugoslavia dennis consideration of 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 for the district court said end of the individual congressmen did not have any sort of standing the reality is i think still a majority of congressmen are starr you know we're going to support the actions in libya and afghanistan and so on and greece is not going to you know in mass come and say that we shouldn't be doing this and try to define it and decide. obama is currently using discretionary department of funds discretionary funds to get around it anyway so it's a question of how effective would be it were. 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. coming up

a bit later this we report on the tragedy of teen suicides russia struggles to raise an epidemic even though experts say there's an all too obvious remedy and as we discover a bit later in the program also for you russia and china agree on pumping gas that the price proves to be a problem nonetheless leave the leave somebody empty handed securing billions of dollars in business again details on that story to. the greek prime minister's admitted his country needs another one hundred ten billion euro bailout package to avoid defaulting on instead the task to convince the e.u. to lend again rests on the shoulders of the new finance minister in athens who says he faces a real war in carrying out a raft of painful austerity measures will face fierce opposition from angry greeks to plans to more job cuts services and play your corner was part of a major cabinet reshuffle to try and calm the widespread fury that demonstrations appealing for a vote of confidence the prime minister wanted without another bailout that's this

would soon be another cash inviting a global financial crisis but first and following developments for us in trouble country. the class is. filled. with. the crowd. it is time for. people to know what was going on at the name of the fleet trying to. find it will break. my love the people on the street. with the gas mask on they really don't know what. it means that the people here. she provoking. people still moving back on suspension slaven can have got that off by the plate they turned out. there i guess about the economic situation happening in that

country and they were not going to get a. chance between people thinking. the police to retaliate still. look at the situation kerry say the toughest fact in the police is. the managing by the looks of things that the police actually on the central square itself there's a lot of the plate has to throwing things so i guess. we spoke to some of the main organized trinity unions to organize protests today and they said that they wanted it to be peaceful until the end of kenya so any of these measures will cause see the police killing of tear gas into the crowd that incredibly hard to breathe only stays not so pleasant for anyone there's lots of people getting medical treatment around the place. but the violence is really

a real thing and we're not entirely sure if these people when the gas masks that appreciating the police are actually part of the name grace that as you said the people we spoke to said they wanted it to be peaceful and they have seen up until now after day when that provocation happened when the police started to. surface and ask athens well while the greek government struggling to force through new austerity measures eurozone fall as well this is a trying to persuade european banks pension funds other private creditors to help fund the bailout pretty sure and pay nigel farage told us who ever they don't really care about the greek people are more worried about the political goals behind the euro project i have been troyer with president calderon poyet with president barroso with all the people leaving you. what is plan b. isn't it time we had missive greece portugal our loans are not suited to the euro zone isn't it better that we put a come out they get their own currencies back they have a devaluation and then of course some of the banks 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 monetary union is a political project they see it as a stepping stone to the united states of europe and they're not prepared to admit they've got it horribly wrong and for that 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. the effect of the greek crisis is starting to hurt other countries across the just three british banks putting tens of billions out of the euro zone lending market a former deputy speaker of the belgian parliament says bailout cash intended to help your of struggling economies instead being pocketed by the wealthy crises. are considered big opportunities by big financial institutions it was from in the past and it is so deep where is the money 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 which kind of bill are true for what purpose that is the question that we have short fall was look we give you all these taxpayer money without any conditions so you can keep on going doing what you did that is not a kind of bailout as what certainly. and next hour did we got interview with a german m.p. plus peter velshi shares his views on bailing out greece and why he thinks the new country should look after themselves. the czech republic this last week announced it's backing out of a u.s. missile defense program planned for europe because it was frustrated by the diminished role that was now being offered the original plan to place the valves radar on the country's been changed to a less important facility the missile shield supposed to counter potential threats from so-called rogue states like iran and north korea but the plans been facing massive opposition from russia that's concerned its safety might be compromised

they've also been protests in the czech republic itself and one of the outspoken critics of the project is activist. told us such a system would only through global tension. check people don't want such a thing here in this country we actually undermine the security of the czech republic and europe as a continent and so we think it's completely contradictory. system here in europe. without incorporating russia with talking to also other world powers make china like india or the following of the fires that will be the biggest world economies in the in years is really going to make a lot of tension on the global scale and so it we should be wise and just start thinking about building security mechanisms and structures that will include all the big super powers not just. an eis to kaname cured of corruption is one of the top priorities in president medvedev has to do list and which he outlined russia's

direction in a simpler form this week the international economic meeting was staged to breathe new life into the country's investment climate that attracted some of the world's biggest political weight artie's nissen now a sums up to showcase highlights for us foreign as they sent based on stifling corrupt cyndi's rationalizing power and government reforms all goals voiced by president mediated at this year's international economic forum here in think petersburg where how the us is going to return to become one of the world's biggest and most active of commies 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 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 affairs self don't do business according to the bot. the noose around the 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 harms way those suspected of corruption are dismissed from public service another issue that's hampering process 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 their very specific circumstances. and the inaudible 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 their first question of the form and this is what made it right 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 one thing you can be sure of is that i will be able to avoid making a statement that we will not have to wait much longer. every story requires some kind of intrigue for the boys they'll 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 he doesn't know he's running for reelection it'll be all about modernization reporting from st petersburg and he's now a party. other far east also called russia's north this week as china's leader joined together in some calling for common efforts to get the global economy back

on track and described the recovery is slow and fragile and said war reforms are needed it followed his trip to moscow where talks failed to decide on a price to ship russian gas directly to china however the country's leaders did pledge to quadruple mutual trade in a decade and a journalist released kowtows c. said a closer alliance from the two of aging of really benefits for both china would be a hugely important trade partner for russia both in clean energy terms and in general trade these are two countries that for many decades shared a political ideology leads to some extent they share the longest land border in the world they ought to be much much greater partners than they are now if we look ahead russia is extremely keen to develop its oil and gas resources in the east of the country export who knows anywhere other than asia just doesn't make logistical

or economic sense so really this is about russia spreading its wings. everybody who can export anything is he's looking at the asian market because that's where the growth is. us judge this week called the case against an alleged russian gun runner to boot and convincing and called the prosecutor's evidence against him thin but lawyers claim the united states doesn't have jurisdiction to prosecute him and want the charges dismissed his report lyra new york explains what . he is the russian citizen and their guard relentlessly would up it was secretly actually dated to the u.s. seven months ago and this may be where he stays indefinitely if down guilty on arms smuggling in terrorism related charges fifty years. he's looking at life there's no parole there's no early release in 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 distribute 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 amounted political pressure against bangkok to gain custody of boot in a 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 and state department were encouraged to call the thai ambassador highlighting a 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 extradited marshall say kidnapping. 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 so lucky asians type 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 u.s. going to use various means political and others outside the boundaries of jus legal process to get victor boot that means that your boot is not getting a fair deal to this day tire fishel is have not provided official documents

explaining the legal grounds behind the extradition. meantime victor pooper means 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 to watch and it's clear to everyone that the case has long been moved from the sphere of laws to politics i think around there i would love to think that the american court is unbiased but i have 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 why is that a political arm twisting come october an american jury will decide picture of the future wanted a political pressure at your side by the u.s. army evidently we are arena point nine artsy new york and if you want to furnish

yourself with more but ground analysis about this long running story head to r.t. dot com where we got the data at the time on an old victim case you can see how it all unfolded. with one of the highest teen suicide rates in the world russia has now been jolted into action to try to reverse a worrying trend but experts say it's not that simple because there are several causes that can lead to tragedy if left i've noticed has autism solid boy to reports no compassion is a cure and sadly it's a remedy that all too often is too hard to come by. just days before final exams a t.v. crew was reporting and students gearing up for their lives that lay had of them pictures pointed to bullying or their brightest student who it seemed had her future figured out by stages i want to become a journalist because it's

a very interesting and creative profession which would open doors to the world for me this yet but instead of a school living celebration paulina's classmates gathered for hip funeral something she may not be the best she ended everything and hank herself. getting ready for the example weeks and believing i was the one who works the hardest of all she saw her load of math problems and she was very nervous she wanted to graduate isn't a great student to many countries this trast 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 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 and the problem is so out of hand that when the president's about it he found it hard to believe the

figures are truly frightening every year thousands children make attempts on their lives 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 a time just six months ago. i just had enough and was tired of fighting with my mom my girlfriend left me was that it was starting i couldn't stand seeing the streets and hearing all this noise i just wanted everything i wanted peace what's driving the problem in russia is what x. parents call a low emotional literacy psychological or psychiatric help is underdeveloped in north easily available then there is the stigma. she was. 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 the kid to a psychologist and 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 it catered to children who've fallen victim to adult biases alcoholism drug abuse prosecution and i want to go as can drive a child to take his or her own life but in the center of this overly wicket taker spends one that says call us prodding almost commonplace yet represents what experts say has been main reason why russia is leaving europe and the number of kids suicide and that is indifference seeing no evil hearing now cries i kind of like an artsy. also making news tonight a suicide bombers struck a german convoy in northern afghanistan the vehicles carrying german soldiers it

was destroyed in the attack but nato reports there are no true casualties however at least two civilians did die in the explosion the taliban said it carried out the bombing. somalia's problem this is resigned for what he called the sake of the somali people for water own country has been without effect of government for two decades now with much of the south controlled by islamist extremists the pyramid earlier refused to go despite a looming deadline to leave in order to clear the year between the president and parliament speaker although he had public popularity his high level support was cruising divisive in the shaken transitional government which has been extended for another year now. to japan there the operator of the devastated fukushima nuclear plant will open the doors of one of its reactor buildings to vent radioactive gases it's to try to prevent another explosion tepco also admits it underestimated just how much radiation would have to filter from cooling water the latest setback comes after the u.n. nuclear agency criticized tepco for its slow response and concealing the true

magnitude of radioactive leaks james corbett's not one journalist and a sucker he 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 on 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 they 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 it's 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 date any particular when it's averaged out over a large population like is 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. over the last century the u.s. established hundreds of military bases around the world and in just a few minutes tonight we bring you a special report on this expanding web of the risks to the countries hosting the bus to come up for a recap of our main news headlines with me kevin owen in just a moment to hear what r.t. .
