unlikely to go away for. three days i couldn't even fall asleep i can't recall him people screaming and i was pulling forty's away from the plate will shoot you again he was one of the first that seen his house only meters away from where the plane came down before. i heard the explosion and ran outside the lights went out i ran to the site and we started doing people here we drank when man two women and the boy is dead while all the bodies have been recovered and relatives of the victims still have the tough task of identifying their loved ones investigators say all the equipment were functioning properly at the time of the crash and they've also refuted initial reports that the navigator had high levels of alcohol in his blood for now they suggest bad weather and pilot error appeared to be the likely causes of the crash the suggestion that didn't sit well with some locals just guy you it's easy to blame the pilot because he's dead. i think the air

expect to receive proposals from tripoli which could end the join up conflict but many in the country believe that the rebel force is not interested in peace or democracy parties or if a national went to meet some of them first hand. this family hasn't had the war quiet and peaceful like this one for months they've escaped from the libyan rebel stronghold of benghazi to hide in this refugee camp in the west of the country after a life in their native town became a nightmare. it's not safe there anymore it's become dangerous and it's not only because of explosions a gun show of people from the government and then you call them rebels we call them terrorists came to me and told me little boy we have to arrest your daughter because we know that she said also could. these cave has been long and hard will be when the family when involve us here good night after hiding for some time from them as they've been searching for me then we knew there was

a mass coming from benghazi to turn is here the basswood the rebels for their purposes we took dark glass in their faces covered and everybody was against gadhafi on and we told them that we were also against him and they let us in but their son was rather look as sorry as 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. taken with from from from i see your killing him in front of your own good. that was because 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 i've got a new venue it will be a new. well you i get this. 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 sound of the frontline either. these people have gathered in the west of tripoli to bury those killed. in one thousand airstrike he couldn't believe in government officials a bomb landed on the private compound and threatened. people including three keets this conflict has to come to an end immediately which is very unlikely to happen any time soon well known to has already claimed that the operation to protect civilians must go on with clashes continuing 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's when the democracy the west talks about will finally come here they'll not be enough people left to experience it rich notion of r.t.

reporting from western libya. they knew from the very beginning but its humanitarian operation would cause civilian deaths so says professor lawrence to consider or rather there was an excuse me from the west just a university and pennsylvania. what this calls into question is the original justification for american intervention which was humanitarian my own personal opinion is that that was always a just a media story forward to mask the consumption and you cannot intervene anywhere with this level of munitions and not kill civilians and there but the type of munitions that they're using when there are these are armed you know piloted aircraft or drones like afghanistan i mean you cannot avoid it you can't these are not smart weapons whatever they might say and if you're going to attack

a building and an urban environment you don't know you know there's a margin for error if it's a large and you're going to kill civilians there it's just they know that they know that and they've only admitted to one but you know that there has to be more. and with nato intervention in libya a stalemate and civilian casualties mounting the u.s. is coming under fire on a different from washington's on manda drone strikes are being blasted of fostering not fighting global terror as people grow tired of the ever increasing number of. adults he investigates the real live radiation situation at major parents' fukushima nuclear plant as the international community tightens up the tarmac security levels. the european union has agreed to bail out greece one more time but only if nothing's introduces savage new austerity measures

parliament's a vote on the cuts totaling more than one hundred billion dollars is expected on tuesday the proposals of course an angry response from the greek public with a promise of yet more massive protests for the vote it may be decisive not only for the fate of greece but also for that of the ailing euro skeptics in brussels even staged a symbolic funeral for the currency so congress apology autists a lecturer at the university of the aegean believes greece can only move forward by abandoning what he calls the absurdity of the euro. the problem is we cannot do it we are getting twelve billion lifeline in there but the biggest part of which is going to be used to repay debt to repay previous did this is totally absurd it is for the benefit of greek people to have an immediate exit from the euro from the euro zone the euro is a monetary absurdity in a way it's a totally irrational financial and monetary architecture that is also

a contributing factor to that that crisis and in general to social crisis in greece so i think that going back to a national kerensky and regaining public control in a way national control of monetary policy is a very desperate step to be taking it is not a road to disaster as the government is saying on the contrary it's going to be a very positive step meantime joining going to the e.u. referendum campaign in britain has also how i think you're right he says because he is on its last legs and it's time to stop wasting billions trying to keep a failed concept in flight. if we just keep pumping money into greece is only putting off the death of their economy they are already bankrupt we have to wake up and smell the coffee and say enough is enough greece is going to go

ireland's going to go portugal and of course the big one everyone is worried about is the state of spying that is one of our banks like portrays upping reducing our liabilities and spying because clearly the property slump in spain is much bigger than the spanish government is telling people places and it will drop of a two percent on the radio shows in spain people losing seventy percent sixty percent in the fire you have the homes in the developments spain will be the next one to topple but why should really u.k. taxpayer pay the german taxpayer pay for the ineptitude of the greek government. they're watching of the weekly here on r.t. welcome to it all parties could soon be represented in russia's lower house of parliament after the president proposed a lowering of the threshold from seven to five percent of the vote that's the minimum level needed to take up a seat in the duma speaking before the decision to me treatment here said it could be possible to lower that figure to three percent in the future the reform aims to

boost political competition and help to modernize the country however many are deaf pointed out that the december parliamentary election will be held using the current regulations the trangia threshold if implemented the pride to elections in two thousand and sixteen. well hoping to give politics some fresh impetus is one of russia's richest men who has now set his sights on the parliament profit off has been elected leader of the right cause party which plans to run in december's elections it's grounds for a more liberal russia but profit off himself didn't want to call it and the musician group you promised to make the white horse party the second largest after the united russia and said he would like to one day become prime minister r.t. spoke exclusively to the billionaire which will be good. i'm not the kind of person who turns a dream or plunges into illusions we have particular goals to get into russia's lower house of parliament with the maximum number of votes what i also understand

is that i could be a good prime minister if the party successful i would fight for this position. and you can watch the interview in full a little bit later this hour right here on c. well u.s. drone strikes on pakistan a conditional ally of washington have long been a matter of controversy the number of civilian deaths which by some accounts outnumber the number of militants killed and is thought to be pushing more recruits towards extremist cells as artie's are gonna have reports new plans to expand u.s. drone strikes into yemen prompting fears of a surge in terrorism the u.s. is looking to expand its war on terror but its methods are under fire in pakistan in the one year that cia drone strikes killed seven hundred civilians but netted only five actual militant leaders of the drone. i think.

in a number of civilian casualties that result because of the ground strikes. straightness like the taliban and al qaeda and other groups present in pakistan can recruit new members and they're doing an. accelerating many pakistanis are furious in their government for helping the americans until their own political e.q. is their leaders of doing that in exchange for bunions of dollars on the washington americans on the other hand are not too happy with what they get in return for their billions how into support. coalmines a large ones when you say enough is enough most governments lie regional or as a way business gets done washington now sees yemen as the most dangerous al qaida outpost and he's planning to step up drone attacks on the country establishing a base in the persian gulf specifically for that purpose especially now when the monster replacement iman also laurie is yardley building on behind has already significant presence in chemistry. the u.s.

had been cooperated with yemeni counterterrorism forces in targeting al qaida but they've since left the field preoccupied he said with the nationwide turmoil against the sollie regime that means the americans are likely to have a freer hand going it alone with the cia to take a central role because the agency is not subject to the accountability the us military is legally under expect more bombs to fall on yemen when the us starts to hit people who are numbers alone guiding the arabian peninsula then i think the real worry is that it expands this war to the point where so many people join up with al qaeda their security in yemen over the killing of scores of civilians by the drone strikes in one attack near the american military presumably ending at an al qaida training camp any doubt coming at us until we bring in another strike a year ago a drone mistakenly killed a deputy governor in yemen his family and aides with the expansion of the drone for

it seems that was the seeking only amidst all the fighting on might or analysts say some of the main features of this global facepalm are not having to take into account the forces that me and the baron bombing and the lack of accountability when it comes to feel that the areas that had more carried on the red flag campaign where the america is fighting and offering terror at the same time i am getting a check now with forty. more. dozens of. people have been killed in afghanistan in separate bombings over the past two days and it's have to follow president obama's announcement of his troop withdrawal strategy and the latest attack on a hospital in eastern afghanistan left at least thirty five dead with some reports putting the death toll at sixty it comes amid heightened tension between coalition forces and the afghan army after a number of nato soldiers were killed by taliban infiltrators in uniform on wednesday president obama announced the withdrawal of a third of u.s.

troops by the end of next you have a plan has been greeted with hostility among u.s. military leadership but afghan combat veteran it turned and said well i think history will use the presence of foreign forces only helps to breed the insurgency . the longer that the u.s. stays in and nato stays inside of afghanistan the more enemies we create because what happens in war unintentional consequences innocent people get killed more people join the insurgency that normally wouldn't not have the troops there or doesn't allow the insurgency to grow we've seen every year the longer troops stay the insurgency grows and anti-american interest western european sense of it grows so that's why we should leave more importantly the not the money we've invested has largely gone to waste and it will continue going to waste by any nation to continue to support it what we can do is provide financial support for n.g.o.s

and non-governmental institutions that where the money actually hits the ground where the people are at work schools are being built and roads are being built by n.g.o.s if we could to do that it would be good for the afghans if we continue to give money to the central bank in kabul that's bad because that's work karzai and his cronies will steal it. it without a lie from moscow and still to come for you the new battle of tora bora where you follow one man's struggle to preserve a world war two battleground and remember the fallen that's in our special report coming your way next hour here on nazi. seventy six hours of intense fighting. six thousand janet of beach front panel fields several kilometers long. and now there is only one person who cares. you see we are surrounded by garbage everywhere but also there are. on this beach

which of course is the most appropriate city signification a symbol of everything that's wrong with our goddamn government allowing our only garbage which to accumulate where so many guys died. a new battle is going on. will the history be protected. returned to terra with julian cooper story on our t.v. . you're watching the weekly here in our c n n some of the week's news the far right dutch politician heard builders' has been cleared of charges of inciting hatred and it discrimination he went on trial for publicly comparing islamic three knots ism and calling for a ban of the qur'an the court ruled his remarks were offensive but fell within the limits of legitimate political debate a case came with increasing and see immigration sentiment in europe on friday e.u. leaders agreed to meet all of the control of european parliament member philip

heist's says with a multiculturalist politics failing it may be time for more radical solutions for we have always been told that march of culturalism and was going to be great and was going to solve a lot of problems on the contrary it has become a problem in itself and it's very important that everyone should be able to know to put forward his own solutions to the problem and the balanced and free debate people from outside of europe to come to any country in the european union. that themselves through the local roles the local way of living as the romans do and this is very important multiculturalism you know in reality does not work in europe we are seeing big problems in major cities major capitals in western europe where we see our societies that have emerged you know with so many people who don't feel they have to adapt themselves to their way of living in a country they went to and so this has to change i think we need

a much more restrictive immigration and integration policy and it's going to be with us today you are watching on say a five day nuclear forming if you notice we saw widespread agreement for increased safety measures following japan's atomic crisis in march. almost went to fukushima just outside a twenty kilometer no go zone around the stricken plant so what is for himself the deadly legacy of the disaster. i the ominous and constant taking of geiger counter says scientists working in fukushima city concerned similar i'm in charge of a group of radiation protection and survey from fukushima university where now thinking their creation protocol and process set up by the japanese government is not enough and myself i think i should evacuate from this area but because of my job at the university i can't my family and my friends' families are of eighty eight. officially fukushima city is in

a safe area eighty kilometers from the daiichi plant reactor one and a full sixty kilometers outside the band danger zone but still radiation levels here and the much higher than normal. just to give you an idea of the consistency right now the geiger counter is really pretty quiet it's only nine micro records which is about thirty times what is more than acceptable but if you come down here to where just so well and i'm not quite sure the regular quickly run crowd it's still climbing earlier we've got a really good night when i look at my career which is crowded times more than it was me except at the level of play play games. but in order to claim that fukushima is truly safe from leaking radiation the japanese government has had to be creative with the numbers but the government did they change the reddish quantum level standard the levels from one. to twenty.

five to twenty times. the standards before the accident and now. they raise the. standard so that they can say it's safe before actually the standard has changed the new higher levels mean that fukushima can be classed as being outside of the exclusion zone some say that evacuating the city would be simply impractical given the huge numbers of people affected to try and mitigate the circumstances to some degree a group of scientists have teamed up to find simple ways to reduce the radiation levels. we're just trying to. project to the time initial work by ourselves and we are not using especially when we just use normal child bulls. scoops. which we just. saw as a small effort to bring some security to a community facing

a scary and uncertain future in focus she was city sean thomas our team. and malcolm grimston formerly with the u.k. atomic energy authority is now a political analyst for the chatham house think tank in london he says there should be no holding back of data because it causes public concern but i don't believe personally that we've seen a massive cover up of information coming from japan what we have seen though i think is a very slow response to questions and attitude which is move from hour to backward looking about this is what we think might have been happening two or four weeks ago instead of this is what we think might happen in two or four weeks time combine that is the attitude undoubtedly people are going to think of the old forums are sitting on the information of they don't want to release so until they are more open about it of course people are going to think that way to do with r.t. live from moscow city center now traveling to the most breathtaking and remote
