really concerned about the problem a little rebuilding. the food while prosecutors in the hague call on libyans to turn over colonel gadhafi for allegedly killing civilians we report on the coastal city of but i got recently raised to the ground by nato bombs. verging on the brink of default live pictures here from greece where strikes are going on hundreds of thousands have taken to the streets to march against austerity cuts but in its unexpected friend has offered to help. us lawmakers consider restricting our forces to boost the birth rate right opponents

say it will only increase the number of dangerous backstreet terminations and abandoned children. from our headquarters in central moscow you're watching archie read me and he said now wait it's four pm here in the russian capital straight to libya which says the international criminal court is just a cover for nato's attempts to kill colonel gadhafi and refuses to recognize its legitimacy this came in response to the issuing of arrest warrants for exactly in two of his confidants either a drive you know on monday and many libyans believe nato leaders and be held to account for their actions to. the road from the capital tripoli to brag is lined with the aftermath of war towns abandoned as the population fled the

bombardment. this is what's left of the airport in the siege of. homes of one of the country's key oil refineries the last plane took off from this runway just hours before it was hate rallies in space and it's only heating the targets of military value local say these telecommunications towers some fifteen minutes west of the. that's been destroyed in a time time gary this is a site they've been to the strikes and they've also accidentally and two cars and killed two civilians been found 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 to. what used to be heaven this man says has become hell out of his 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 and in such

a condition to leave from the small poor not far from greg even gas used to flow to europe. we used to produce field to send it to them and 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 on nature's leaf. just before the bombs arrive. this runs has as you can see the reason sign here in arabic 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 nato can attack any place at any time. time happened three times over several hours while we were filming. regulators major is where the front is dividing the country into two parts into to swear one

side is going to break one flashpoint within the rebels and gadhafi forces it's a very important point to pick location that's in a firm hand on this town would mean taking control over the country's economy. all facilities seem to be a rare 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 foods and this happened six of them died i couldn't believe it. and this used to be a restaurant company staff where friends the others after work we were eating with my colleagues and there was a boom we knew what that was we run we try to help those who were strapped then the helicopters came too and still wanted to shoot us as if they didn't want us to save our friends. from one street or another the stories are repeated.

reconsider by the problem of. the food really not so there's a madam every day every day when being a big killed our civilians but never. from this country this is probably via well those voices become more and more frequent as the sound of exploding bombs and warplanes the ground in. grief r t tripoli. but the chief prosecutor in the hague has admitted that major forces have no mandate to arrest and called on his inner circle to were searched but unclear what impact the course actions were have on peacemaking efforts in the. and he said at the since you were the international commission which visited libya found the 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 one vote negatively affect the

efforts to bring a peaceful solution to this conflict motion for them little storm. but for more on the situation in libya let's cross live now to dr sarah challenge. her and vice dean at the general school of international affairs in india thanks for being on the line with us some of our commentators say gadhafi now has no outs and that's a fight to the bitter and do you think this move will help push him out or strengthen has results. i think are you going to corner tiger right now and you could hardly cue here we actually see the fenian going by the reaction are we got are we also there's. not going to. be. carried out the. forces returned home given what is. your opinion united. you don't believe that. people are on the war

or on. maybe getting fired on because. i think. i think really adamant and i you know. we get. we're going to. like united states are very. extremely concerned and a concern. situation because business seems to be no end to the war and the i.c.c. wordage could i didn't dream the government forces to prosecute a more vigorous war or it could simply peter out as well because we saw the

ouster of bashir was issued a warrant two years ago and president bashir still remains in power so as you know international law is also an. ad the these are again made and also love the colors and interests and before and we have seen very arresting you go live in the libyan government is saying that the i.c.c. is a political tool for the western world leaders in the third world do you think that fair criticism. you know this criticism has been. a resounding did in the african union for a long time even vendor who was in favor in that in union and being consistently held to be lax it's little that the i.c.c. does not go after what remains of those or come to crimes against humanity nature either protected or directly part of establishment of advanced listen to treats

so for instance it's often pointed out why nobody in the israeli defense forces or in the israeli government was ever investigated by the agency slow crimes against humanity for the wars in gaza and the twenty to thirty war in gaza so it softens the seen as a sign of robbery standards but the fact is that there are also a number of armed conflicts going on massacre and it would be unfair to say that the i.d.f. he's going after easy targets because a lot by she possibly gadhafi are going to shoot not just a little bit of the christian apes and they're not particularly good stewards are by greater powers these can hold out and until and unless this also greece and they're also from power internally it's very likely been behind it all works so the slobodan milosevic kind of a scenario for gadhafi are horrible here these things are far fetched. dr surrounds how the artifacts are and fight being that single well of international affairs in

india thanks for that and now. russell says the crisis in syria is the result of dialogue among the violence to stop it covers russia's presidential envoy out that was very active in your last hour our keeper oliver. ok. stress that this isn't any fishel 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 and human rights groups now they've come to the russian capital to call in russia to put more pressure on president assad the syrian leader to stop the violence in the country now they've spoken with mikhail margelov by 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 end coming to discussion and diplomacy not to violence no. 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 the way the foreign intervention has progressed they said that they russia and no circumstances will be backing any form of foreign intervention in syria they want to see peace coming through discussion and diplomacy. live from moscow who are watching our team who have got more news stories coming up this hour. no one person in this country have

a better story to print in the united states than i have it for you who is taking to marcy away from us citizens are to look at how one american town has lost in. the first trouble greece is being crippled by a huge nationwide strike hundreds of thousands of workers are protesting ahead of a parliamentary vote on a harsh set of tax hikes and spending cuts twenty eight billion euro worth of costs are needed before the e.u. agrees to hand greece and other cast ballots out. it's considered to be the country's last resort to avoiding becoming the first heroes our nation to default but the but the both the cuts and the high interest bailout are deeply unpopular with more than five thousand police have been deployed to the march on hard to make you can see why i think just here from athens where it looks at the moment that there is more security than actual protesters well to keep the euro alive some nations have not wanted to join the e.u. are now questioning whether it's worth it. ship it down even sunk it

turkey is in asia minor or not in your thirties police is not a study in union turkey started seeking integration of europe in the one nine hundred fifty s. and was written a new candidate in one thousand knowing that since then from some germany has remained opposed to continue still in negotiations turkey. and european union have actually stalled the. relationship for such a long time now that the turkish public is tired though that the main reason turks think the europeans don't want them immigration. first will they come and steal our jobs like the polish plumber there. and second will they threaten us culturally but others see the real fear in paris and berlin as

a loss of political power and it's sort of. frank or german condominium is already under challenge but with the inclusion of turkey in the european union me and 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 dalai is 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 and the rising racism and islamophobia in many countries. it's it's becoming less and less attractive turkey 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 eurasia the bosphorus 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 eastern asia over here turks no longer see all their hopes by looking west tamasin r.t. istanbul turkey. but one unexpected friend could step in to help prop up the euro china is offering to open up its nama three trillion dollar foreign reserve to buy up european debt premier wen jiabao made the offer during his tour of europe it's why they believe beijing which has been accumulating counts faster than it can spend it has decided to diversify away from u.s.

debt the move has prompted fears the economic sovereignty of the e.u. could be compromised some critics even suggest the ongoing currency war between the us and china is the real motivation behind the offer. but later today max kaiser and his co-host stacey herbert discuss the reasoning behind what they call the greece inspired blame game. the problems of greece ultimately come from bernanke is a loose monetary policies and corrupt monetary policy is the problem with china as america perceives them that they are quote unquote currency manipulators is also the result of america's loose monetary policies america as the world reserve currency and there's huge benefits on having the world reserve currency if your economy starts to collapse because you could be used your privileges as for having a world reserve currency don't blame people like john greece for you or since.

u.s. state of michigan is giving up a prized asset to find a way out of its economic woes it's a slide of democracy is too expensive an elected financial managers have taken the place of elected officials and given a free hand to make decisions on tax charges more important takes a look at. the american state known for its great lakes has seen the middle class speed and automotive industry crumble in michigan's poor city benton harbor more than a quarter citizens are unemployed and elected officials have lost all authority to govern as an unprecedented democratic collapse plays out we believe that it's an illegal immoral and unconstitutional no one for action in this country have with already proved the united states and i have had three in the face of massive public opposition michigan lawmakers recently democracy by giving the unilateral authority

democracy for around the world but it has been trying to suppress. citizens of this country at least four other cities including detroit have an emergency manager in the motor city he e.m.f. laid off some six thousand teachers and his pioneering plans for corporations to privately run schools funded by public tax dollars well dr martin luther king. said injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere. so it is benton harbor today but it could be in new york tomorrow or it couldn't be chicago next week but instead harbor is one of roughly one hundred cities or towns in michigan reportedly on the verge of fiscal clock and economic desperation that would lead the way for financial martial law to spread throughout the states critics say that would lead to a deepening demise of democratic rights the u.s.

she was pregnant again and the other had already been through jesus are in sections and had to be sons to make her life complete along with her diabetes this pregnancy was a huge risk now though she can't imagine life without her sasha this is my little miracle 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 her choice freely had she wanted it terminations and nothing would have stood in her way to 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 and free abortions and state clinics and make women wait for a week before the tabulation just think over their decision the morning after pill now available at any pharmacy would also become prescription only it's a good novel though was put in 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 to try and. that's young. a qualified psychologist or he had one of course as maternity hospitals says the stress of an unplanned pregnancy often makes women wash their decision they might later regret for them as a veggie my task is not to talk a woman out of abortion just sure who the alternatives so that she doesn't end up turning to herself where with questions like oh 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 olga 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 the kids are ready had let alone raise another one. however opponents of the proposed legislation believe limiting a woman's choice reaches her rights both health and human my body is my business is

just one of their slogans that bit about the history shows that very abortions was never actually believe it was when the soviet union outlawed abortions in 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 of those peers 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 sound 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
