a london based activist from the stop the war coalition believes the majority of libyans don't want the west to tell them. we have to remember we've been here before we've been here before with afghanistan we've been there before with iraq and i think the lessons from both of those and that actually the message is even coming from many of the rebels in tripoli and elsewhere in libya is that they don't want nato there any more they don't want western troops on the ground and they want to run their own country and i think it would be very foolish for david cameron or anybody else to believe this really vindicates their foreign policy in terms of the war on terror this town's. bringing to mind some of the worrying ways in which these things are being used i personally think the intervention of the international criminal court. the idea of a control i could half in his family is criminal also this is yet another sign of western hypocrisy when we have to suppose tony blair and various other people

responsible for the disastrous episode in iraq in particular who wanted to i think in this wire if there is evidence montreal they should they should be dealt with in libya and not in the hague or anywhere else. well france has been one of the main advocates and participants of the nato military campaign in libya there are high hopes among the french oil companies lucrative contracts with a new government but it argues that daniel bushell reports the cost of the intervention and the unknown or gender of the rebels could mean more losses than gains. frauds kills local was the first power to recognize libya's rebels the first will become treat and know the first in talks with rebel leaders for mr elegy pace's victory gives him great satisfaction opposition m.p. laying off everyone to be thankful that it inspired action at the united nations

7:11 am
announced his country's willingness to return to the six party negotiations aimed at denuclearizing the korean peninsula but it will only reimpose its moratorium on production and testing of nuclear weapons once those six party talks begin the rest of the six party talks members like south korea japan the united states they all want the north korean leader to implement the moratorium first and then have north korea return to the six party talks which have been stalled since two thousand and eight the north korean leader still wants to do it his way but still his announcement is a very big deal there were several signs pointing to the possibility of such a breakthrough even when kim jong il began his journey usually the very secretive north korean leader travels completely incognito in the international community finds out about his travels post factum or even not at all this time the entire
7:12 am
world knew as soon as kim jong il crossed the russian border on his specially designed armored train and that of course led many to speculate that the meeting also publicized with the russian president dmitri immediately it would bring about some definite breakthrough and we know that there have been further developments in the plans for a gas pipeline go from russia to south korea of course north korea we also know that a number of committees have been created and the c.e.o. of russia's gas giant gazprom has been tasked with overseeing the project so that definitely is still in the works and could be a very lucrative deal for north korea for south korea as well and definitely for russia which is looking to export more of its resources. because we're not out of our border right there what if you don't you're also you bill clinton you know find out how the north korean leader has been spending some time. in russia head of the key meeting this includes a relaxing day at the world's deepest lake thought of by karl rove taking

7:14 am
a retired senior police officer here in moscow he had been on the stand as a witness for the prosecution many in the. camp have been wary about what he's been saying since the beginning and they say that his arrest now and the fact that he will be charged later on today show that they were right to have their concerns about him. here or sigman was a prosecution witness in the case as far as i understand had been misleading investigators in a very clever way for a long time pretending to be an important source of information about the murder we in the prosecutors have doubts he was sincere there was not enough evidence and the prosecutors have enough evidence also quick to. show this man was. murdered this is of course a case that has. drawn media attention from around the world anna politkovskaya because she was a very highly respected journalist and gained much praise and not just here in
7:15 am
russia but around the world for her investigative work into human rights abuses in chechnya now she gained amongst some of the people she wrote about some some say the enemies in the north caucasus area and it has always been assumed that it was somebody from the last part of the world this was behind her sauce a nation. just in may of this year the case received a bit of a boost to investigators as the. the man accused of being the gunman who pulled the trigger that fired the bullet that killed out of was arrested at a village church he was. charged with crime remains in custody the investigation into who killed anna politkovskaya is progressing along and we could see some major developments in this case in the next few months and weeks. now a quarter past the hour here at the u.n. is wrapping up its pressure on syria using the ongoing crackdown on protesters that europe and the u.s. are prepared

the east coast of the united states a travel has forced evacuation of parts of washington including the white house and pentagon was also felt in new york and office workers had to leave buildings officials say no one was seriously injured many buildings damaged. well after months of scandalous headlines and slanderous whispers criminal charges against dominique strauss kahn have now been dropped the former head of the i.m.f. was accused of sexually assaulting a hotel maid in new york is going to court as the latest entails a manhattan supreme court judge delivered that ruling on tuesday after prosecutors in the case say that the accuser now facade to diyala has not been truthful on all matters great and small now however this ruling delivered by the judge is on hold pending an appeal by mr gallo the accuser now in his first public statement since being arrested on may fourteenth dominique strauss kahn says that the past months
7:18 am
have been a nightmare for him and his family and they are looking forward to returning to france dominic strauss kahn was arrested on may fourteenth shortly after paraded in front of news cameras by the new york city police department at that point he was essentially vilified by most mainstream media outlets and found guilty in the work of public opinion now the new york media turned this criminal investigation into somewhat of a circus because many of the new york new york city newspaper headlines refer to dominique strauss kahn is a frog one to refer to the mess pepe le pew and they also refer to him as a womanizer now this of course ruined the reputation for this french politician he was considered a contender for the next presidential race in france but his basically his reputation was really and before he was convicted at all he lost his job as head of
7:19 am
the international monetary fund and there was a lot of of a lot of those comments and negative press that were seated after his arrest. reporting professor robert is that it's him from the university of houston believes that it's most of the charges really help to restore trust god's reputation and i see this as just the latest the latest chapter. in the probable i think the next time in our there's nothing surprising about what happened or what may have happened in the hotel room more than two months ago i've always been a big fan of the simplest explanation for any particular problem and in the case of dominic strands can one doesn't need a conspiracy theory one doesn't need to look too political machinations are not the start of the atlantic to explain what is happening what happened it's what happened we created in his past and he has always admitted that it was
7:20 am
a sexual encounter or his lawyer had been in it that there was a sexual encounter what remains up in the air is the nature of this encounter was a consensual wasn't forced it vindicates anybody in this affair a very sad affair it's the new york prosecutor's office they had the courage to do a one hundred eighty degrees on original findings they thought they had a credible case but in the wake of intensive investigation they realize that there are plaintiffs in the only witness to this alleged crime was not credible. enough of it on the menu here out here but if they were. with us. on. how time for your business day it's russia wants to bring the normally hostile lot and south korea's together in the name of business and there are some it is siberia better if they all have to look at building
7:21 am
a gas pipeline across north korea to supply the republic in the south the one thousand kilometer long pipeline would carry up to ten billion cubic meters of gets knowledge joined by julian leaf from the center for global energy is that is hello john and thanks for joining us so how do you think. we'll be able to persuade the south koreans to get involved but i think this is going to be a very difficult challenge to to get all parties to what we've seen i think who's used very much the first small step and there are many many miles to go i think before we reach a workable agreement on yes. there is deep suspicion between the two koreas i think there will be a large amount of skepticism to overcome in south korea. allowing themselves to become even partially dependent on supplies of
7:22 am
pite across the north. but one of the main obstacles on the way i think the main obstacles are firstly are that you have to have an agreement between all three countries russia north korea and south korea it's no good. building a pipeline i think simply links russia or north korea because the north koreans are not going to be able to pay a sufficient price for gas imports from russia what would ever pay for the cost of building the pipeline so the five million has to be extended into south korea to sell. korean market now if one looks at. the progress of other similar pipelines and perhaps the best examples are pipelines that seek to deliver gas either from turkmenistan or iran to pakistan and india again here we have
7:23 am
projects on projects that are dependent to some extent on tapping the lucrative indian market but in order to do so they have to cross pakistan and relations between pakistan and india that simply hasn't happened despite decades of negotiation and the relationship between south korea and north korea i think he's probably no better if not worse than the relationship between india and pakistan so i think he's the major obstacle pretty scary to have to be overcome but basically what does north korea get out of this arrangement. well i think north korea would get two things one it would get supply of russian gas and there are a few to energy shortages in north korea and the second thing that it would get if you could make this work income from transit revenues or gas that crosses its territory to south korea one has to assume that from
7:24 am
a russian point of view the most important market. is going to be south korea and some may think that it's strange that we have russia believes he's. its western exports he's seeking to move away from some transit countries particularly ukraine. and yet he leads to use looking at creating a. north korea as a transit country so there is some i think. dislocation between policy in the policy in the west of us. thank you very much julian lee a senior analyst at the center for global energy is his that's what's your analysis and still have time to have a quick look at the markets gold has rebounded after dropping from an all time high above one thousand nine hundred dollars an ounce and that's because bad things aren't that prices are complicating the global economic slowdown is fueling demand
