the aftermath of war towns abandoned as the population fled the ball and. this is what's left. of the siege of. home to one of the countries he told the fineries the last plane to go from this runway just hours before it was hit. places they said it's only hitting the targets of military value local sadie's telecommunications tower some fifteen minutes west. to be destroyed in a time with this is a safe bet two strikes and they've also accidentally. two cars and killed two civilians since there is no t.v. in this area and as we can see the phone lot has also been disrupted. there is no water and no. what used to be heaven this man says has become hell towards home now feels unfamiliar. i have nine children and i send them all to my relatives

abroad i don't want them to see their motherland in such a condition. from the small pool not far from break even gas used to flow to europe . we used to produce fuel to send it to them you know see they destroy it all this is terrible and ridiculous at the same time the closer you get to the front line the more you feel it you can hear the war and you can even read it well nature's leaflets jobs just before the bombs arrive. this runs as if you can see the reason sign here in our big nato is here leave it here in force and i'll fly zone over the country to protect civilians on the other side there is another sign also in arabic saying that they took an attack at any place any time. any time happened three times over several hours while we were filming. raga labors

major part is where the frontline lies dividing the country into two parts into to swear one side is the first one flashpoint between the rebels and gadhafi forces it's a very important point just to quote pace getting a firm hand on this town would mean taking control of the country's economy. all facilities seem to be a rare target of nato bombs never land on. the civilian population can hardly state . they were like my family ate and slept with him and played with their children that he had just gone to the shop to buy some foods and this happened six of them died i couldn't believe it and this used to be a restaurant for all companies start where friends gathered after work we were eating with my colleagues and there was a boom we knew what that was we ran we tried to hell bruce was trapped then the helicopters came and still wanted to shoot us as if they didn't want us to save our

friends someone streeton other stories are repeated. our problem other. than being a big kid our civilians. while those voices of him more and more frequent the sounds quoting bombs and he was playing the drums. r t tripoli bragger. space to radio host alex jones told r.t. that it's a nato it should be held accountable for what it's doing in libya. they want to try for crimes against humanity that would be like having hitler over the nuremberg trials of nazis you've got european nations in serbia and now in libya bombing and killing civilians that's not debated shooting out fishing

boats and you have them now admittedly trying to assassinate khadafi itself an international war crime the i.c.c. has said nothing about a war crimes in iraq and that eight and a half pleasure war afghanistan the admitted massacre so this is really a joke in the way the i.c.c. carries out trials is a joke and it's a tool basically the anglo-american. stablish meant to go in and persecute countries. for the haze and the base reports online magazine spiked says the actions of the international criminal court so how many western nations want to impose themselves on the rest of the world. this is actually the first time that the international criminal court has actually pursued someone who isn't actually completely black i don't say this lightly but if you look at the previous the five cases of the international criminal court are they going to pursue their investigations they've been in kenya. uganda the central african republic and the

democratic republic of congo despite all the other crimes and all of that are going on across the world from iraq and soon the gaza strip the international criminal court has for a focus solely to this point upon black people and obviously removing you know. focusing on their female but still very much focused on africa and there's a sense very much seems to be that the international criminal court is the place where the west judges the rest is where the international criminal court presumes that they can have this kind of civilized legal perspective on the world which is lacking in african countries who are unable to determine their own affairs properly and in the guiding hands of the western politicians. while you're with r.t. and they're still ahead this hour on the program not practicing what they preach. marcus lee for around the world put in
