a nightmare. imo it's not safe there anymore it's become dangerous and it's not only because of explosions and gunshots one day people from the government and you call the rebels we call them terrorists came to me and told me we have to arrest your daughter because we know that she supports gadhafi. these kate has been long and hard for they were in the family but i remember. that it was i had to hide for some time from them as they've been searching for me and then we knew there was a bus coming from benghazi to near zero the bus with the rebels for their purposes we took that bus with our faces covered and everybody was against gadhafi on it we told them that we were also against him and they want to send me we kept silent until we went to egypt and from there we were sent here. to get them. brother doctor subquery a surgeon has also fled the city he says they've made three attempts on his life but he only finally left when he saw

a killing. from the from or from you killing him in front of i see your. own good on the world that. 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 they are legitimate representatives of libya the view is though i've been there. so the west. there you are again it's. about freedom democracy there is no freedom or democracy there is just want to go on 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 the airstrike cordon to leave and government officials a bomb landed on the private compound and flattened 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. yes 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 dug around in these symmetries still fresh while nato has already claimed her to the operation to protect civilians must go on with clashes continue and benghazi and nato intensify in its bombardment of tripoli both eastern and western parts of the country are perilous to say and people are dying on both sides of the front line many on the ground fear that when the democracy the west talks about will finally come here there won't be enough people left to experience

it. r.t. reporting from western libya. well i mean that libyan alito colonel gadhafi accuses name so of murder after a recent strike killed civilians investigative journalist of michelle collins who was in libya just a few days ago believes the actions of the alliance are only motivated by money. killed more civilians that's the losses from the initials problems there feels more civilians the little bombings so the real id is not protect civilians. he's to achieve the economical strategical interest off there of the west us in europe i mean the oil i mean the financial reserves of libya i remind the us see he's a buying corrupt country and also are preventing that caffie would be a sort of alternative to the 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 cut of the world or that that nato has the right to make wars where they want to revisit the people in hospitals and we saw victims and indeed the civilian population is attacked that must be very clear it has nothing to do with immunity and war. but with nato as the bombs falling on the people it aims to protect in libya become pain is losing its initial allies some calls from italy for a halt to the coalition airstrikes things are going to school reports on whether nato is trapped itself in a conflict it can no longer a scam. 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 they have called civilian deaths in tripoli you know acknowledged one of its gripes with of

course last night in for ali and maybe to blame for civilian casualties the operation has been going on for three months and according to libyan officials hundreds of civilians held really 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 our media our mass media nowadays is not that they're left wing right wing it's just there 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 n.h. remember 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 allow aid in to libya france and britain have however dismissed the calls versus ation in nature was relentless pounding of

libya need to do is acting under a u.n. resolution to protect civilians but many believe the alliances mean 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 who even people to decide the british public don't really understand why we've been taken into these wars and yes in the while we bomb you know 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 bombing out of office if the libyans want to have a revolution and get rid of him then good luck to them are there is believe the longer the attacks in libya continue then. more difficulties for nato and its political backers the only exit option of what's to say we will leave when printed if you will even if political defeat is skewed if going there could be lead.

ok probably it will look to do is it but it's not the point is. it was actually doing nothing which would be for specially for london and for boris it would be great if he does or through 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 it was two bombs in missiles which continue to fall killing those the airline says it's there to protect in brussels it is r t. let's check out some other ideas that are coming your way in a program here on excuse me. police crackdown on protesters taking part in an anti-government demonstration it's being called the silent revolution. russian aviation experts say the engines of the to pull off one three four passenger plane were working properly before it crashed on

a highway in the country's northwest it also confirmed that the flight crew gave no indication of technical issues with the jet before the disaster experts are now decoding information from the flight recorders to discover what caused the fatal accident survivors were rushed to hospital with injuries after being rescued from the wreckage ten year old boy it later died bringing the number of those killed up to forty five russian president dmitri medvedev said he believes that pilot error is likely to be the course of the tragedy. the u.s. has about to change its mission in afghanistan from a roll of combat to one of support president obama has confirmed that decision to pull out a third of the ground troops currently deployed in the country by next summer and starting reports the american leaders decision doesn't have a complete support of his military. let's start with numbers there are around one hundred thousand american troops deployed in afghanistan right now thirty thousand

of them were added by president obama two years ago now he says by the end of next year a good way to pull out those thirty thousand troops the drawdown will start this year with some ten thousand troops expected to be withdrawn by december many analysts say it's not a groundbreaking move from mr pickett point of view after all he's pulling out would he added at the beginning of his presidency put ahead of presidential elections coming up next year it might be a face saving me he promised it would cross 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 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 forget is that 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're cautiously talking about progress fragile progress as they put it 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 all cry 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

a whole of the afghan population will treat them as occupiers we have to understand that the image of karzai is of a pocket meter doesn't get him it doesn't get gave 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 play rate that can actually. do. you need action industry god's word from find worrying is that these upcoming proper withdrawals the u.s. has actually stepped up airstrikes including grown 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 out of her own 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 moms on their homes it's a common thing in the us media for example when they talk about more losses they

just need a loss is 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 the growing insurgency in afghanistan is the failure to fact that we 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 americans war on terror as a double edged sword when it's fighting an provoking care at the same time. he's going to stick around reporting not everyone believes the u.s. will ever leave afghanistan for good we spoke afterwards to a former. joint says that in spite of the promises betrayal of military bases will remain. i think you meant to. this honest politician who continued. in occupied my country

just miles from one hand you are telling publicly to our people and. they will leave afghanistan five thousand and one or two pros and by the same breath from another hand talking. about the case in the stomping. your spine in the military bases in afghanistan. afghanistan i see no my people to. call for warlords taliban and al corp forces i think the people of us i don't know where they're going to work my people got democracy never come by our completion democracy not by car by military invasion democracy never done by cluster bomb by white phosphorus by my cigar by bumping our wedding parties. and you can watch the full interview with afghan activist a mother like joy in just over an hour's time right here on out. of
