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. venue there will be in your. new west be. where you are again it's. 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 they had killed fifteen people including three kids we have been calling for peace and negotiation for months and
7:02 am
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 dug around in these symmetries still frash while nato has already claimed that the operation to protect civilians must go on with clashes containing and benghazi and nato intensifying 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 frontline many on the ground fear that when the democracy the west talks about will finally come here they'll also be enough people left to experience it. we're even on r t reporting from western libya. well i mean time libyan leader colonel gadhafi

accuser's name so of murder after a recent strike killed civilians investigative journalist michelle cullen who was in libya just a few days ago believes the actions of the alliance are only motivated by money they killed the mall civilians that the losses from the initials problems there feels more civilians than lives or bombings so the real id is not protect civilians to rio de he's 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 us see is a bankrupt country and also all preventing that gaddafi would be a sort of turn a used to do 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 couple of the world know that that nato has the right to make wars where they
7:04 am
want to revisit the people in hospitals and we saw victims and you did the syrian population is attacked that must be very clear it has nothing to do with immunity or and war. well with nato as a 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 airstrikes are in a political 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 may have caused civilian deaths and tragically acknowledged one of its airstrikes when 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
7:05 am
hundreds of civilians have a ready 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 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 back in the
7:06 am
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 yes indeedy while we bomb them now colonel gadhafi is i murderous vicious dictator in the world and libya would be better off without him but it is our business to go in there 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 then. more difficulties for nato and its political backers the only exit option of nato was to say we will leave when really good if you will even if you live gadhafi is killed if they're going to be. ok. but it's not the point is it will result achieving nothing which would be.
7:07 am
specially for london and for it would be great to get a 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 alliance says it's there to protect in brussels. are now let's check out some other ideas that are coming your way in the program here. excuse me in the 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 they also confirm 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 a ten year old boy 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 cause of the tragedy. the u.s. has a valid to change its mission in afghanistan from a roll 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 it's artie's that guy nature can't reports the american leaders decision doesn't have the complete support of his military. let's that was numbers there 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 west is going to pull out those thirty thousand troops the drawdown
7:09 am
will start this year with some pan 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 has 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
7:10 am
inconclusive battles overseas that's what a lot of americans are frustrated about what doesn't get enough spotlight here it 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
7:11 am
a pop it 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 those and 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 a loss it's 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
7:12 am
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 reporting not everyone believes the u.s. will ever leave afghanistan for good we spoke to activist and a former m.p. of joy who says that despite the promises a trail of military bases will remain. i think you scar menteng. this honest politician who continued crime so you get enough going on in occupied my country they are just lying from one hand they are telling publicly to our people and to get people to leave that they will leave afghanistan by mid up to two

thousand and eleven or two thousand and twelve by the same but from another hand they are talking about this publication this talking to us plan in quality basis points so. that they leave afghanistan as you know my people too sick to be called for while our taliban and al corp forces i think the people of us i don't know what they're going to work my people that democracy never come by a nation democracy never come by military invasion democracy never comes by cluster bomb by white phosphorus by my cigar by bumping our wedding parties. and you can watch that full interview with the afghan activist a mother like joy in just over an hour's time right here on out. but the second bailout for greece is crippled economy dominates a meeting of e.u. leaders in brussels while the greek prime minister pushes for even more cuts at

home which are a condition for the new installment over the last week austerity proposals saw thousands of angry protesters fill the streets of athens blogger michael snyder warns that economic troubles in greece could trigger a new wave in the global financial meltdown. but greek crisis has the chance to be another aware human brothers moment because what you have being greece is a situation where they're just kicking the can down the route if greece defaults it's not going to just look like greece is going to affect all of your. banks all over europe or very much exposed to greece when you're 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. you can find more views and
