by many countries throughout the world as the only legitimate representatives of libya there is no i've been you and then you there or been you so you would just be was them are you i get is that they talk about freedom and democracy there is no freedom or democracy they just want to bear all 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 airstrike code and to leave and government officials a bomb landed on a 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 then you are dug around in these symmetries still fresh while nato has already claimed that the operation to protect civilians must go on more if an ocean or r.t. was in libya. well i mean time the libyan leader colonel gadhafi is accusing a nato of murder after a recent strike killed civilians investigative journalist michelle collins who was in libya just a few days ago believes that the actions of the alliance are only motivated by that of money. they killed the mall civilians that the losses from the initials problems there feels more civilians the nato bombings so the real id is not protect civilians the rio de is to achieve the economic goals tragical interest off there of the west us in europe i mean the oil i mean the financial reserves of

libya are i remind that the us is a bankrupt country and also preventing that gaddafi would be a sort of turn to to do i.m.f. some buying for african development the whole 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 saw victims. similarly in population is attacked that must be very clear it has nothing to do with him in a chair and war well with no hose bombs falling on the people it aims to protect in libya the campaign is losing its initial allies there are some calls from italy for a halt to the coalition air strikes now are to report on whether nato has trapped itself in a conflict it can no longer a scam. civilian deaths in libya are 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 and tragically they don't acknowledge that one of its airstrikes will 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 in libya it's only

a nato member itself has already lost all faith in the operation in fact rome has gone as far as to call for a suspension of all military action and to la adrian to libya france and britain have however dismissed the calls for us to sation in need to his relentless pounding of libya need 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 fully been people to decide the british public don't really understand why we've been taken into these wars and yes indeed 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. out 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 only be

a continue. the more difficulties for nato and its political backers the only exit option of nato to say we will leave when you get if you will even if you look at their feet is skewed if they're going to be. ok. to do is it but if not the point is it will result achieving nothing which will be . specially for london for paris it would be great to get a disastrous need his 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 alliance says it's there to protect in brussels. and r.t. is coming to you live from moscow and time now for a quick look at what's ahead for you in the program here and in the world police

down on protesters taking part in an anti government demonstration it's being called the silent revolution. while the russian aviation experts of ruled out technical failure as a possible cause of the fatal passenger jet crash in the country's northwest they are right now coding information from the black box flight recorders to discover what caused the plane to hit the highway on monday night relatives of victims locals have come together to pay their last respects near the scene the to pull off one of three four exploded killing many of the passengers on board survived the hospital with severe injuries i want to a ten year old boy later died that brings the death toll to forty five. well the u.s. has a valid 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 as i

can 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 and now he says by the end of next year the what he's 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 that 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 out more than half of all cards

leadership and thanks to your 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 strike 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 pop it leader doesn't get him it 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. you need action industry what some find worrying is that 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 moral 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. he's gone a chicken reported right. everyone believes the u.s. will never leave afghanistan for good we spoke to activists. joy who says that

despite the promises a trail of military bases will remain. i think you scar menteng. this honest politician who continued crimes in afghanistan and my country are just lying from one hand they are telling publicly to our people and to get people that they will leave afghanistan by the middle two thousand and eleven or two thousand and twelve by the same bad from another hand talking. publicly she miss talking to you a spy in the military base isn't going to stop. the five guys you know my people. hold for a while lot of taliban and patient forces i think people love us i don't know what they're going to work my people that democracy never come by a nation democracy never comes by military invasion democracy never comes by cluster bomb by white phosphorus by muscle car by bombing our wedding parties.

former british ambassador to syria basil eastwood says that people in the country are divided over president assad but there is a strong desire for a 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 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. i just turning twenty minutes past the hour here in moscow you with r t let's get to some other world news we're covering today for you the right politician the builders tried for inciting hatred and discrimination between it got cleared of all charges he had reportedly described as a fascist a religion that allows terrorism called for the qur'an to be banned fielder's insisted his comments were not directed at muslim believers but at islam and they formed a legitimate political debate the verdict was broadcast live on dutch t.v. . the federal reserve has cut its forecast for u.s. economic growth now estimates the economy should grow up to two point nine percent
