take him from or from or from i see you killing him in front of i.c.u. and paying good his body on the world of the general hospital the doctor says people from the national transitional council were behind it this is the rebels' official political body set up after the revolution in libya started in the mid february its members are recognized by many countries throughout the world as the only legitimate representatives of libya there is no other being new and very new there will be a new. the west be with them where you are against them they talk about freedom and democracy there is no freedom or democracy they just want to bury the refugees here say they now finally feel safe but it's not that safe from the side of the frontline either. these people have gathered in the west of tripoli to bury those killed in air strike code until even government officials a bomb landed on the private compound and flattened it killing fifteen people

including three kids we have been calling for peace and negotiation for months and no one wants to listen to us now we have to pay a very heavy price of. casualties civilian casualties and also military casualties i think the time has come for the world to understand that this conflict has to come to an end immediately which is very unlikely to happen any time soon when you are dug around in this symmetry still fresh while nato has already claimed that the operation to protect civilians must go on. r t what. investigative journalists michelle calling who was in libya just a few days ago believes the actions of the alliance are only motivated by money. they have killed mall civilians that the losses from the initials problems their

feuds most inventions the nato bombings so the real i.d.'s not protect civilians the rio de these to achieve the economic and strategic goal interest off there of the west us in europe i mean the oil i mean the financial reserves of libya i remind that the usa is a bind corrupt country and all slow preventing that kind of fear would be a sort of turn to to the i.m.f. some buying for african development the old idea is to make the public international opinion accept the idea that nato is a cup of the world know that that nato has the right to make wars where they want to revisit the people in hospitals and we so victims and indeed the civilian population is attacked that must be very clear it has nothing to do with imminent terror and war was made as bombs falling out of people to protect the coalition's

campaign is losing its initial supporters italy is now pressing for an immediate halt to air strike is still a these are these are reading the reports and whether nato has trapped itself in a conflict can no longer escape. civilian deaths in libya are at last making news on western news networks they say has acknowledged that a number of civilians may have been killed in an air strike last night says it regrets the loss of innocent lives and admits the weapons now function may have caused civilian deaths in tripoli acknowledged one of which of course last night in tripoli and may be to blame for civilian casualties the operation has been going on for three months and according to libyan officials hundreds of civilians have been killed by nato bombs so why has it taken so long for the major t.v. networks and newspapers to report on the carnage because the big problem with media mass media nowadays is not that they're left wing right wing it's just that they go

along with whomever is in power and the whole idea of critical reporting is gone and it's not just media noticing that something is going wrong with the involvement in libya it's only a nato member has already lost faith in the operation in facts wrong has called for an end to all military activity and to allow aid in france and britain have however dismissed the calls for us to say sion in need to his relentless pounding of libya need to do is acting under a u.n. resolution to protect civilians but many believe the alliances main aim has always been to oust colonel gadhafi some european politicians from countries backing the campaign say that's not the job for nato but full even people to decide the british public don't really understand why we've been taken into these wars and yesterday while we bomb them now colonel gadhafi is i murderous vicious dictator in the world and libya will be better off without him but it is our business to go in there

balmy mouth of office if the libyans want to have a revolution and get rid of him then good luck to them all others believe the longer the attacks really be a continue the more difficulties for nato and its politike. bakker's the only exit option of nato was to say we will leave when he will leave and if he is killed or if they're going to free to leave the power on his own. they will have an option to exit but if not the point is there will result achieving nothing which will be for nato and specially for us it will be politically disastrous nature's admission of killing civilians in recent days may have made the headlines back home but the expressions of regret have not been felt on the ground in libya unlike the western bombs and missiles which continue to fall killing those lion says it's

there to protect in brussels. well here's a quick look at what's still had for you in the program in bellerose crackdown protesters taking part in an anti-government demonstration being called the silent revolution. and travel far and questioned more artie's new documentary channel brings the best of russia to global audience. russian aviation experts have begun to develop a picture of what may have caused a fatal error tragedy in the country's northwest they confirmed that a passenger jet hit trees and broke up before crashing into a highway relatives of victims of the locals were paying their last respects near the scene forty four people were killed aboard the tupolev one hundred thirty four and eight were rushed to several hospitals with severe injuries a ten year old boy later died bringing the number of deaths to forty five experts are exploring several explanations for the accident including human error bad

weather conditions and technical failures. the u.s. has vowed to change its mission in afghanistan from a role of combat to one of support president obama has confirmed his decision to pull out a third of ground troops currently deployed in the country by next summer but has going to come reports the american leaders decision doesn't have the complete support of his military. let's start with numbers there are around one hundred thousand american troops deployed to afghanistan right now thirty thousand of them were added by president obama two years ago now he says by the end of next year the u.s. is going to pull out those thirty thousand troops the drawdown will start this year with some ten thousand troops expected to be withdrawn by december i mean analysts say it's not a groundbreaking move from a strategic point of view after all he is pulling out what he added at the beginning of his presidency but ahead of presidential elections coming up next year

it might be a face saving me he promised the withdrawals to start this year and he had to deliver the bigger question is what results has his leadership brought so far take a listen we're starting this drawdown from a position of strength. is under more pressure than at any time since nine eleven. together with the pakistanis we have taken more than half of all kinds of leadership and thanks to our intelligence professionals and special forces we killed osama bin laden the only leader that al qaeda had ever known here in the us the pressure president obama faces with regards to afghanistan mostly has to do with the enormous war spending and the number of casualties among american troops president obama was elected as a war and ended up waging more wars and spending more of taxpayers billions on inconclusive battles overseas that's what a lot of americans are frustrated about what doesn't get enough spotlight here is actually the results on the ground if you listen to american military officials

they are cautiously talking about progress fragile progress as they put it but various reports on the ground say insurgency is growing among the afghans the systematic killing of civilians by nato strikes doesn't help experts say many of those now fighting against the allied forces in afghanistan are not a car that they are not terrorists they are fighting against who they see as invaders after one of the recent strikes that killed a significant number of civilians including children even the u.s. backed afghan president karzai had to make a harsh face saving statement warning nato that if they continue killing civilians the whole of the afghan population will treat them as occupiers we have to understand that the image of karzai is of a poppet leader doesn't get him and doesn't get again him any popularity at home so he has to take a stand here is what he said a few days ago people can no longer tolerate that tension in their homes in that one do that. unilateral action industry got what some find

worrying is that i mean these upcoming troop withdrawals the u.s. has actually stepped up airstrikes including growing strikes in afghanistan is thought to be part of this twenty first century intelligent war strategy you know when you have no troops on the ground no. deaths of your soldiers to justify at home so it becomes possible to wage a war without having to face all these accountability issues so many afghans are worried that less troops doesn't necessarily mean less bombs on their homes it's a common thing in the us media for example when they talk about the war losses they just give nato losses very rarely do they mention the number of afghan civilians killed and that number is so many times higher experts say apart from civilians killed another thing that contributes to growing insurgency in afghanistan is the failure to effectively deal with the drug issue since the invasion in two thousand and one drug production there has increased enormously and it's known that some of that vast drug trade income goes to terrorists so many see america's war on terror

as a double edged sword when it's fighting and provoking terror at the same time. reporting there and not everyone believes the u.s. is actually going to leave afghanistan for good we've spoken to former afghan m.p. and activist malala joya who says the spy the promise is a trail of military bases will stay behind. i think use government to. this honest politician who continued. enough going on in my country they are just lawyer from one hand they are telling publicly to our people and to dead people that they will leave afghanistan by the middle two thousand and eleven or two thousand and twelve by the same but from another hand they are talking about this publicly she was talking to us part of the military bases that are going to start very soon request that they leave afghanistan i know my people

are going to stick to the call for warlords taliban and al corp forces i think the people of us i don't devoid there could be with my people that democracy never come by our completion democracy never come by military invasion democracy never comes by cluster bomb by white phosphorus by mustard car by bumping our wedding parties. well watch the full interview with afghan activist malala joy in just over an hour here on our t.v. . the greek prime minister is pushing for even more cuts as he presses parliament to pass a crucial bill needed to secure a second e.u. handout this charity proposal sparked mass protest in the country with thousands voicing anger on the streets of athens blogger michael snyder warns that economic troubles in greece could trigger a new wave in the global financial crisis. the greek crisis has the chance to be another lehmann brothers moment because what you have in greece is

a situation where they're just kicking the can down the road if greece defaults it's not going to just a thank you reese is going to affect all of your. banks all over europe are very much exposed to greece and banks in europe are very highly leveraged for example when lehman brothers collapsed they were leveraged thirty one to one which was absolutely horrible now german banks actually hold a lot of greek debt and there are leverage thirty two to one at this point so greece goes down it's going to ripple effects across the entire world and there are experts all throughout the financial industry that are warning that this could set off another two thousand and eight style crisis. and it's why more views and personal experiences of events in greece now on our website that's our dot com and here's what else is on the line at the moment. the european commission puts an end to washington's move to access personal data on passengers flying to between europe

further sanctions saying it will ignore europe's presence on the world map that made its move in response to the ongoing violent crackdown on anti-government protesters former british ambassador to syria basil eastwood says people in the country are divided over president a lawsuit but there's a strong desire for political process. there were great hopes that he would lead to a better future he still retains some of that popularity particularly with the urban populations in damascus and aleppo the second big city which have done relatively well out of his economic liberalization. but in the countryside and amongst the intelligentsia i think there are now no hopes that he can bring about reforms but at the moment he sees himself in a battle with the forces dark forces of evil as he would see them and probably

regards himself as having no other option. but one has to hope that he can be persuaded to see that has to be another way rolls in the way he is following at the moment with every day that passes with every drop of blood that is shared it gets more difficult because there is a long tradition in that part of the world of vengeance. but so far the opposition activists are starting to talk about the need for. a political process what they said at a conference in turkey two weeks ago was that the president should step down and that the vice president should hold the ring pending new elections on the basis of a revised constitution now that is the start of of a political discussion if anybody wanted to take it up but there is obviously no

sign whatever of anybody in the regime wanting to take up that sort of idea at the moment. now to some other world news we're covering today the trial far right dutch politician geert wilders reaches its hand with the judge set to announce a verdict later on thursday after describing islam is a fascist religion that allows terrorism and calling for of the koran to be banned he stands accused of inciting hatred and discrimination welder's insisted he's comments were directed at islam and not at muslim believers it is expected that the dutch man will be acquitted on all the charges. the federal reserve has cut its forecast for us economic growth it now estimates the economy should grow up to two point nine percent this year lower than earlier predicted the central bank also warned of high unemployment meanwhile fed reserve chief ben bernanke he said the worsening economy had been sparked by soaring energy prices and reduced japanese production after the quake and tsunami. three people have been killed in the
