twenty years ago arduous country. where did it take. these national criminal courts is the place where the west judges the rest of

tripoli bridge jackson arrest warrant for colonel gadhafi saying the hague based tribunals just a political tool and has no authority. to use economic crises in nations like greece forces countries such as turkey who have long been seeking membership to shift their focus eastwards. and boosting the birth rate or breaching women's rights while some lawmakers discussed restrictions on abortion that have split public opinion. coming up in business greece plans to sell off state honest it assets and introduce austerity measures in a desperate bid to stave off the fault join me for the full story in around twenty minutes time. that's three pm in moscow this is archie coming to you live nice and now with our

top story and living as justice minister says tripoli is refusing to recognize the arrest warrant for colonel gadhafi issued by the international criminal court at the hague gadhafi and his closest allies are accused of ordering war crimes to be carried out against their own people but tripoli says the actions. by the i.c.c. you're just a cover for continued nato bombings are to the notion i went to see the effects of the airstrikes on the libyan people. the road from the capital tripoli to brag he's lined with the aftermath of war towns abandoned as the population fled the bombardment. this is what's left of the civilian airport in the city of. home to one of the country's key oil refineries the last plane took off from this runway just hours before it was hate. to say so it's only been the targets of military value well call say this telecommunications tower so fifteen minutes west. has been

destroyed in a time tiger woods this is a site to strike. accidentally. two cars and killed two civilians since there is no t.v. in this area and as we can see a lot has also been disrupted. there is no water and no electricity what used to be heaven this man says has become hell what was home now susan familiar. i have nine children and i send them all to my relatives abroad i don't want them to see their mother who is in such a condition. from the small poor not far from drug gas used to flow to europe. we used to produce fuel to send it to them and now see they destroy it all this is terrible because 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 on the jews leaflets jobs

just before the bombs arrive. this run's house is you can see there is a sign here in arabic that nato is here to enforce 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 tell you can attack any place at any time. any time happened three times over several hours while we were healing. raga labors major all parties where the front line was dividing the country into two parts into two swear one side is going to one flashpoint within the rebels and gadhafi forces it's a very important point as to take the quotation it's in a firm hand on this town would mean taking control over the country's economy. all facilities seem to be a red target that nato bombs never land on while it looks like the civilian population can hardly skate. they were like my family not just going to the shop to

buy some food and this happened six of them died i couldn't believe it. and this used to be a restaurant for all companies staff where friends gathered after work we were eating with my colleagues then there was a boom we knew what that was we run we try to help those who are strapped then the helicopters came to and started to shoot us as if they didn't want us to save our friends. from one street to another the stories are repeated. really can serve our problem either. larry no thought every minute of every day every day bombing a big killed our civilians but the lives of. this country this is from libya well those voices become more and more frequent as the sound of exploding bombs and war playing the drums. r t tripoli.

a spokesman for the international criminal court says there won't be any external operations. claiming only internal forces in libya can do it meanwhile russia's foreign minister sergei lavrov has voiced his fears that the isis is act. so could damage attempts to be in conflict. to the international commission which visited libya found that war crimes were committed by government forces as well as some of the opposition fighters so we hope that the investigation will be fair non politicized and lawful on the political side of the matter i hope this warrant will negatively affect the efforts to bring a peaceful solution to this conflict that issue. well russia says the crisis in syria should be resolved through dialogue and once the violence to be stopped it comes as russia's presidential envoy to africa met with syrian activists here in los cow artist peter all over has the details. it's important to stress that this

isn't an official visit from the syrian opposition although members of the group that do call themselves syrian opposition are in attendance here in moscow is also people from n.g.o.s a human rights groups now they've come to the russian capital to call on russia to put more pressure on president bashar al assad the syrian leader to stop violence in the country now they've spoken with me help me out again all of my senior russian diplomats a very experienced member of the the foreign ministry when it comes to this part of the world and he put forward russia's opinion on this russia of course wants to see an end to the violence in syria they want to see that and coming to discussion and diplomacy not to violence. saying that russia would be vehemently opposed to any form of foreign intervention into the situation ongoing in syria they definitely do not want to see a repeat of the violence that we have in libya at the moment and we're very

disappointed with the way that foreign intervention has progressed they said that russia and no circumstances will be backing any form of foreign intervention in syria they want to see peace coming to discussion and diplomacy. still to come for you this hour on r t the east giving the west a helping count we bring you ask for an opinion on why china is so keen to come to the rescue of europe's foundering our economy. and the world abandoned nuclear power after the disaster at the fukushima plant we asked the acts director of the international atomic watchdog. the little later in the proper. greek trade unions have begun a general forty eight hour strike against new austerity plans which are to go to a crystal vote on wednesday thousands have taken to the streets of athens and are now marching towards parliament greek protesters are warning the. tried to prevent

m.p.'s from entering the building with twenty eight billion euro packets of spending cuts and tax hikes is a key condition for the country to get more cash from the e.u. well if approved it will mean a new balance out and another toss of last year's aid packages being handed over otherwise greece could become the first euro zone contrie to default. meanwhile europe is being offered for help with its elling economy by china the chinese prime minister who's on a tour of the e.u. has offered to buy debt from struggling nations to discuss that we're now joined discuss rather what's behind china's interest in europe we can now live to columnist marco polo he joins us live via broadband thanks for being with us you of course can understand this from an e.u. perspective they need china's investment here amid hard times but what about china why is it pumping money into such an economically unstable place.

is going to encourage stability you know. another global financial crisis. would be through including china say in the name of the game president to. stability. confidence in the markets do you think that china will be wanting to in session's in return and do you think that the e.u. would be willing to make some. of the chinese would be getting their. base. gives them a huge amount of leverage in the trade negotiations and it was going to very very strong position to be able to get their way on a number of different issues. and you could diversified as well as. you from. what he knew as government bit sad. the way it's doing

and getting. huge leverage in trade negotiations now china has been increasing its investments in the year also while britain which of course is an e.u. member has withdrawn billions of euro in finance from it what do you think is behind or what is an explanation for that. don't have any money and we we can we can print. but we don't have money set aside. able to. what we're trying to cut back on spending in the u.k. and this time of austerity is very difficult to justify going out really seems to me. rather than a european problem if that makes sense and that's right that's why your camera can justify. not being not not let me add. the right economist

marco petra paul a thank you very much for being with us on the line. well despite economic turbulence within europe lastly a plans to join the eurozone in twenty fourteen and ambition stated by the country's prime minister and also are still keen to enter the monetary bloc others are beginning to rethink their membership plans parts. turkey is in asia minor not in europe turkey's place is not the european union turkey started seeking integration with europe in the one nine hundred fifty s. and was made me you can do that in one thousand. since then from some germany have remained opposed continue to stall in negotiations turkey. and the european union. have truly stalled the. relationship. for such

a long time now that the turkish public is tired of it the main reason turks think the europeans don't want them immigration first well they come and steal our jobs like the polish plumber did. and second well they threaten us culturally but others see the real fair in paris and berlin as a loss of political power and this sort of french german condominium is already on the challenge but with the inclusion of turkey in the european union it would be totally impossible to sustain now embroiled in economic crisis the e.u. isn't as strong as it once seemed turks are starting to view the delays in joining less with frustration and more with relief frankly given. the state of the european union right now is the inability of taking decisions the. fragile

situation the rising racism and islamophobia in many countries. it's it's becoming less and less attractive jackie is no longer waiting for europe to change its mind instead many speak of the axis of turkish interest shifting from west to east it's pursued a no problems policy with its neighbors in recent years that's yielded impressive results boosting trade and making turkey a leader in regional diplomacy if we want to. combine our. power with others i think we should look at. the poles for us behind me has long been seen as a bridge between east and west but with turkey increasingly pushed away by europe over here and pull towards the middle east and asia over here turks no longer see all their hopes but looking west tamasin r.t.

istanbul turkey. well in just over fifteen minutes max kaiser and his co-hosting c. herbert discussed whether the stock waves from the e.u. to have crisis are reaching the u.s. . there's a common theme emerging all roads are pointing to one culpable source of the catastrophe b b i'm not talking about brigitte bardot but ben bernanke he actually says that this will be a small negligible impact of greece defaulting he is telling a lie that's causing incredible global financial damage again i suggest waterboarding. in japan the president of tepco the company operating the crippled fukushima plant has apologized for the disaster earlier this year the company has come under fire

out of meeting with shareholders for not doing enough to deal with the situation meanwhile as workers have begun to install a protective tap at the first reactor aimed at preventing radio. spreading efforts to cool the reactors are continuing as a key water recycling system has again been launched the ongoing crisis has left europe divided over the future of nuclear power france's promise further investment germany plans to shut all of its plants the former head of the international atomic energy agency mohamed el baradei says despite the risks there's no way the world can abandon nuclear energy now. this illusion is not to face it is not to to shut shut down a new kind of energy because it provides fourteen percent of all you produce to demand and. possibly more in the future and got to use like india like china you know there is no option but to continue to use all available source of energy and including the president the fact that germany is walking out to france

is going to increase well these this is a question of the psychology in different countries you know people are ready to accept this is the degree of. azara saying you know what i was saying that we would want to walk away but they would be interested to see how germany is going to substitute the twenty percent that go for you kristie that comes from nuclear energy. a brief look now at some other international headlines for you iran has tested medium and long range missiles as part of ten day drills it says the missiles are intended to protect the country from possible threats from israel and the u.s. forces in the gulf on monday iran released footage of its underground launch pads which can't be detected by satellites to wrong is facing international pressure over its nuclear program which the west claims is intended to build nuclear weapons . activists from scandinavia who are part of the front two are hoping to make its way to gaza say their ship has been sabotaged the vessels propeller was reportedly

cut off while docked at a greek port and will take a couple of days to repair meanwhile israel warns it will prevent any attempt to breach at sea blockade of the palestinian territory a year ago a similar mission led to a deadly raid by israeli commandos in which nine activists were killed. the international monetary fund is preparing to name its next boss with christine lagarde expected to win the vote the french finance minister would be the first woman to lead the organization if she manages to beat her opponent central banker from mexico the new i am at head will replace demjanjuk who resigned last month over sexual assault charges. now a drive by the russian government to raise the birth rate has led to lawmakers proposing a bill limiting a pregnant woman's options over abortion legislators say they want to reduce the huge number of terminated pregnancies but there's criticism that the measures will

deprive women of the right to determine their own future daria has the details. when she heard she was pregnant again leon i had to really be through to see her in sections and had. to make her life complete along with her diabetes this pregnancy was a huge risk now though she can't imagine life without her. there's a lot over there i look at my little miracle and i can't even imagine that once i had thought about getting rid of him i've never regretted my decision later i was able to make a choice freely had she wanted a terminations nothing would have stood in her way abortion in russia is available on request up to twelve weeks and is permitted at any stage if the pregnancy puts the mother's life in danger the proposed legislation would end free abortions in state clinics and make women wait for a week before the terminations to think over their decision the morning after pill no available at any pharmacy would also become prescription only it's the but i

would always be the right that if we managed to avert at least twenty percent of abortions annually we have a clear increase in birth rates instead of a demographic decline. that's a qualified psychologist working at one of moscow's maternity hospitals says the stress of an unplanned pregnancy often makes women rush to a decision they might later regret but that the wires are better my task is not to talk a woman out of abortion just sure how they'll turn it is so that she doesn't end up terminating herself where with questions like who are all the baby would have been now and what he or she would have looked like. experts say the only way forward is to give women the security needed to embark on motherhood all their found the help she was so desperate for at a moscow charity. my husband left me when i was pregnant i didn't have any means to feed the kids our lady had let alone raise another one. however opponents of the

proposed legislation believe limiting a woman's choice breaches her rights both health and human my body is my business is just one of their slogans that the other but when you talk about history shows that being abortions has never led to a baby born when the soviet union outlawed abortions in one nine hundred thirty six the result was an enormous increase in the maternal death rate and that's what doctors fear most that restrictions on legal abortions will only push women to find risky backstreet alternatives even if it threatens their health and life view of the of the years living in russia forty percent of women decide against pregnancy and if a woman is determined not to have children she won't and that includes simply abandoning them. like the mothers of these babies who found another way to escape the burdens of motherhood these children are too young to understand why they were not wanted. these children didn't choose to come into this world and be deprived of their basic

right for parental love one day they might find someone to call their family however the question is whether restricting abortions will lead to more children abandoned after being born against their mothers well. gary i wish her well r.t. moscow. we always have plenty more stories lined up for you online dot com here's what's available for you right now you can find out why after parts are predicting that financial doomsday is looming for the whole of the u.s. as soon as the second of august what's. fires and floods are threatening nuclear plants in america with fears that four million people actually live within range of a potential atomic disaster i want to argue dot com for more details. up next it's all the latest business news with katrina stay with us.

hello welcome to our city's business bulletin the clock's ticking down on greece's judgment day the country will default in july if the e.u. doesn't provide a new bailout new austerity measures are being debated in parliament this week not to run over mar b.c. capital markets believes it's its make or break time the problem in greece is that we've had a lot of political difficulties we've had problems with the statistics which are misinformed both the government and the international community so they've been living at the eleventh for quite some time but i think we really doubt the five minutes to midnight and there really is no alternative they do have to proceed with this austerity plan and there is a risk if they don't push through this

a storage program we could see a much more substantial impact on financial markets with a negative reaction obviously there are contingency plans the question is can i be your porter do operation quickly enough to save the financial markets russia is on its way towards cutting its budget deficit and returning to the black in the next three years when crude prices could also help reduce the three point six percent gap in the budget down to one percent by the end of the year but analysts warn the high crude prices of putting long term financial stability at risk. it's a good thing for russia that the world's come down for oil was setting up drowned in twenty hundred thirty dollars on berms in the longer run this would be a boom and bust cycle we saw in two thousand and eight we do not want to see this again in russia much more sustainable for the world economy if the if the oil prices say averaging one to one hundred dollars this is better global economy grows stronger it's a more sustainable story and that's that's how you can make proper plans for the

future let's take a look at the markets now oil is starting to close the gap on monday's losses which sent crude prices to their lowest in four months the major drop came on the heels of last week's announcement by the international energy agency that it will release sixty million barrels of oil the movies hope to counter the effect of halted exports from libya. european markets opened in the black also on optimism over greece's debt crisis the footsie is up almost point four percent face down and in moscow both e.l.t.'s in the my six trading in the black tuesday coming back from monday's losses though investors are hopeful they continue to be slightly cautious due to concern over the situation in greece. let's have a look at some individual share moves on the my six now energy majors are in the black helps my slight gains in oil electricity sector o.-g. k five is edging higher on reports it has successfully placed three year bonds

among miners falling mental as on the rise with stronger gold prices supporting the stocks. russia's electricity export monopoly into round is about to pull the plug on its supplies to balad. has failed to pay its bills on time and missed an extended deadline the supplies will be halted by midnight if bellaver doesn't pay its debt of about fifty million dollars minsk says the economic crisis in the country has the problems overpayment about ten percent of the electricity bellaver its uses comes from russia. blow bill investors are gathering. in moscow to brainstorm their strategies in russia the event is being held by renee sounds capital which has been investing in russia for twenty years business outies dmitri medvedev caught up with the company's c.e.o. stephen jennings to find out how the investment climate has improved over the years obviously twenty years ago there was no market there was literally no market no infrastructure no capital markets no private sector companies to try to change it's

been vast but i think the point is every every phase russia has outperformed relative to expectations one of the perplexing things is this is perpetual somewhat negative attitude from the west towards russia but if you look exposed the results have been very favorable over a long period of time given the current market conditions do you think right now is a good time to invest in russia because a very interesting time in russian assets a very cheap but not much more expensive than pakistan which is clearly ridiculous russia's as a strong track record and large scale privatization i won't be surprised if it's bigger if it goes further than people are talking about i think will be progress and building the moscow financial center where would you invest today and what sectors of russia's economy you know there's still an enormous potential really across the board and next resources there are a large scale assets that are still not being with the full within corporate structures or being necessarily being managed well across all the so-called new sectors the economy whether that's financial services retail consumer light

manufacturing so this is the highest return significant market in the world over the last ten years by very considerable margin it's a market that's been open to foreign investors for fifteen years by strategic and financial investors so there's ample opportunity the market is very liberal and in my view will continue to see strong returns. well that brings you up to date for this south korean it will be here with more business in just under an hour's time stay with us the headlines next. if six six six. six coming to.
