the literature and some somalia when she libya for training within the last two or three years just documented we have the flawed records and everything else so it seems strange in many ways the whole western support of some of the rebel groups in libya must be questioned because in some cases of it we are effectively all going on. for months on nato is protected intervention in libya has yet to yield its desired result even as the alliance battles accusations of violating its un mandate but political blogger rick ross of believes a peace mission was never high on the coalition's priority list. thirteen thousand made earlier missions over a country of six american audience before including what nato itself acknowledges its five thousand combat missions if it's not a war. you know that this is not simply a question of protecting libyan civilians from the over the government violence and so forth this is the concert of the long term military action nato is the world's

3:19 am
beijing putting a freeze on approvals of all new nuclear power stations and safety checks at the twenty seven currently under construction however with chinese electricity consumption growing at more than five percent a year and its current reliance on fossil fuels to generate that unsustainable it's unlikely the crisis in japan will dampen china's thirst for nuclear power. it's impossible for china to give up nuclear energy and china needs to make changes to its energy structure which is closely linked to the need to reduce pollution carbon emissions and the overall direction of chinese development other new energies have no advantage in either techniques or resources. no one in china is under any illusions that the country desperately needs to find alternative clean ways to generate electricity the current reliance on coal which provides some eighty percent of chinese energy needs cost the economy more than two hundred billion dollars a year through air pollution alone and while beijing is investing heavily in turn

it says here it is that it's pretty much been forgotten about there is no state support so there is no money and no specialists. yet albino is a dermatologist and admits she's become a specialist by default no one else is dealing with patients but the mothers say her advice can conflict with what they've learned from abroad. so well it's a very complex disease and with so few patients suffering from it any doctor that would take it up would have to become a very narrow specialist i myself am tied up in many other places so i don't have much time for these patients. two year old nasty is a clear example of what good care and access to proper treatment can do for a butterfly child her mother says she's probably the only girl in russia who from the very first days of her life was taken care of properly according to international standards when she was twenty five days old i took her away from one of the best maternity wards in the country her stomach and feet were or and the
