an alleged summary killings by both rebels and gadhafi loyalists the security council has also agreed to release one point five billion dollars in libyan assets to help deal with humanitarian needs the opposition continues to claim that tripoli is largely under its control while the national transitional council says it's moved from its stronghold of benghazi to the capital meanwhile the pentagon says its monitoring may be inside any stockpile of chemical weapons and is pledging to prevent them from falling into the wrong hands and stop the arsenals include tons of mustard gas and raw uranium as archie's lore and it reports that's causing concern of some rebel factions said to have been infiltrated by islamic extremists . tripoli a city in chaos there's constant gunfire aggressive and celebration and on the outskirts of the capital stockpiles of chemical weapons made to know very little about the people who might come to power. tripoli so now if you've got these caches

of weapons of mass destruction then again people really don't know what's there and if this is falling into the hands of certain people i mean the situation is potentially disastrous despite the heavy presence of rebels in tripoli the chemical stockpile appears still to be in the hands of what's left of gadhafi government that's both good and bad news following a series of meetings in two thousand and three three agreed to allow weapons inspectors inside libya the first step towards abandoning his w m d program in return for a normalizing of relations with the u.k. and u.s. they agree that he wouldn't use all move the material but now thanks in part to nato in support of the rebels he's on the back foot and may feel he has nothing to lose by disregarding that agreement cry over victory or martyrdom. well strike an

ominous note to those who know of his weapons potential given the violations of the national territory of libya by nato led rebel forces i think that the idea that he would be beholden to these types of agreements would be off the table at this point and certainly he was quoted as saying in early july that he would be willing to strike out europe if tripoli was attacked so i think it's a fair assumption to say that if there is that capability that he would be looking at that option at this point it at any rate but the alternative rebel control of chemical weapons is arguably worse according to many some of the rebel factions have links to al qaida or of commentator abdel bari atwan says the west got itself into this trouble now it has to decide how it will figure it out and the options aren't attractive we know that you know the majority of the people who are fighting for the muslim extremists so how that the two is going to be with those people off about the movement of chemical i believe the post would be more proper i'm i think

than that. if you're there are some indications nato is considering putting peacekeeping troops on the ground in libya regional experts warn back could be seen by parts of the free libya movement as an act of aggression but having supported the rebel movement nato must now deal with the consequences even if that's w m d islamic extremists lower and that our teams. there are reports of heavy resistance by gadhafi forces were colonels whereabouts still unknown meanwhile cut off he has aired another radio message claiming he is fighting on the front line nato has denied previous reports that it's assisting the rebels in the hunt to find him by journalist and broadcaster and he says the use of this information by all sides as a whole mark of the conflict. what is very clear is happening here is the rebels are trying to teach this to the international audience and trying to make out their

complete control of the country that gadhafi is finished that the war is basically over and everyone supports them the situation is far more complex than that it's a very very divided society along tribal lines and the gadhafi regime which was secular did manage to hold the country together for a long period and now we're going to see tribal warfare break now and it's very clear that he still has lots of support but if you in the west these are pools that if you have no support in everybody's mind but it isn't true what nato has done here basically is transform a situation where there was demonstrations against the regime there into a full scale civil war and i don't hold the line that nato is needed really there anymore the western powers who. really want to get their money back and they want to get money they want to profits this whole enterprise what about humanitarian intervention that was entirely bogus this was all about talking. and installing

a new regime we would hand out the contracts to western companies and would be much more amenable to american. and so the money is going to go to western corporations it isn't going to go to libyan people. what you aren't you coming to you live from moscow still to come for you that's our program report and next first try to stablish the cause of russia's on manned spacecraft crash will look into how it will affect the crew of the international space station we've been awaiting by supply. and discover how people in the central russian region are taking the initiative back into their own hands to change their communities for the better. it's coming to you later before that the richest sector of french society are pledging another three percent of their annual income to help the country battle its deepening debt crisis that's as the french prime minister announces some twelve billion euro worth of cuts alongside gloomy forecasts for growth but as artie's

daniel bushell explains the move could be too little too late with fears social unrest could follow. france enjoys a triple a credit rating for now which is one of the ploys debt ratios among the world's top rated states many investors bet on it to follow the u.s. and be downgraded just repaying interest on its debt this year has overtaken education and defense as the government's biggest spend was just mr sir cause he's presided over the biggest jump in debt levels in our history books that carry too much water sink or. france is going to the tolerance limits to prime minister as he explained the new round of spending cuts this week but economists fear things is so bad those cuts go nowhere near enough lead can compare it with people saying we're going to buy a lumber genie and they only buy

a porsche and they call that austerity doctors board for all these huge debts burden is bringing truly under-investment in schools and hospitals. hitting. winter and. computers. every old. equipment old fashioned. out of the situations explosive say experts and frauds could be next to witness roy it's like those in britain was deprived regions the likely spark inner part of cities in the suburbs. are certainly segregated to very high extent far more so than in the u.k. or in germany so yes and rest could come from the suburbs and spread through nicolas sarkozy's flying a fall from france as he can on budget they taze pacific island of new caledonia

proving to be the case and tell us how people there are bracing this chance to vote in a fledgling state. indeed it is really no i think there's many people out today wanting to have a say in the future of the country here in the capital so who polls have been open all day and they'll continue for some hours yet and people are coming to try and cast their vote on three candidates at the moment there's no real leader between them is no real front runner this obvious just yet we went and spoke to some people earlier they kept their choices very close to their chest they didn't want to tell us who they were backing all of this was made necessary by the death of the previous president surrogate on the twenty ninth of may he died suddenly leaving power vacuum in his place and now three candidates the vice president the prime minister and another former vice president are all campaigning to try and take his

spot a lot of international observers of come to over. see this selection to try and see that it's conducted fairly neighboring georgia has tried to discourage many of those observers from coming because it can still considers a part of its territory and we spoke earlier to representative the swiss government who had dismissed those concerns. when i was invited to. have. a very quick reaction from the georgia. on the goals or about my impression is good and can exactly you support what you are doing here you know because you're fighting for your silver into your tone of the independence democracy appreciates of the context of this country the knowledge of the people are fighting for the freedom. what are looking at head why do the people of expect from their new leader . i think they're going to expect

a lot from the next president is going to require a lot of basically development an infrastructure the real hard work that builds the state up to be able to stand on its own two feet today is a very important day because today three years ago dmitri medvedev president of russia recognized the independence of our cars and that was at the end of. a war that was started when georgia attacked a neighboring south a setia that territory to the east of here. was also involved in that and georgian forces were pushed off our cars in territory that was merely the final act in a very long struggle for independence because you had really starting after the end of the cold war but the damage from all of that conflict is going to require a lot of time and effort to repair and i think that's what i've carson's cousins really want from their next president. all right john thanks very much indeed for

ship was carrying supplies to the international space station when it malfunctioned shortly after launch it crashed into. in siberia triggering fears it's toxic fuel could be dangerous for locals and the environment so far there are no reports of any such damage investigators and experts are now looking into walk could have caused the incident the government ordered a tougher control of space ships after the second rocket failure in russia in less than a week now let's take a look at some other stories making headlines around the globe japan's prime minister has announced his resignation clearing the way for the country's six premier in five years now to come under fire for his response to the massive earthquake and tsunami earlier this year and the radiation crisis that followed among the potential successors are the current foreign finance and trade ministers and you premier will face a number of challenges including buildings from the devastation and problems caused

by the strong again which is holding bad economic recovery. the state of emergency has been declared in many parts of america's east coast where hurricane irene is beginning to make its presence felt authorities in new york have ordered evacuations from low lying districts while in north carolina around two hundred thousand people have already fled earlier in the week the hurricane battered the bahamas and the caribbean causing huge destruction as well as flooding and power cuts. and i can see you know in northern mexico has left at least fifty three people dead and twelve injured armed man broke into the building in the city of monterrey and doused the facilities with a flammable liquid witnesses said they heard three explosions before the fire started it was my mexico's deadliest attacks since president calderon launched his hands of against drug cartels five years ago.

problems. they got what they are asked for to slides a sandbank and it be charred might not seem like much but for a small community in the kunar of region they've become a leisure hotspot there used to be no one here it was abandoned now when the sun is out you can get a place. this type of project only cost five thousand dollars but it was no money in the local budget to build safe access to the lake and so the regional government introduced a local initiative scheme when they heard of it the village club together and applied for a grant from a special fund with the beach was laid. off if a particular schiphol we were consulted over this was our decision to build it and i think as a result people look after this property properly the idea of micro projects was thought of jointly by the world bank and the cure of administration they provide about two thirds of the money while local citizens have to fund the rest often go

round houses to collect the cash nearly two hundred micro projects will be built in this region by the end of the year. but we want to change people's attitudes instead of expecting things done for them we want them to take initiative we are giving power back to the people this might look like a women's institute meeting in a village hall in fact the participants are thrashing out the details of a new road there is heated debate about the quality of the works and whether the builders are falling behind. unlike other projects the financing of the road is completely transparent we know where every rouble has gone. the village of color cheeky has just over a thousand residents several hundred of them petty criminals serving their time in a labor colony that has one poorly stuck shop and for every road built there are terms more that need to be repaired. one micro project will not solve its problems but it is a start now the government can't just rely on its citizens to come up with

a solution for every single infrastructural problem that faces russia but in a place where major decisions are often made with little consultation for the foreseeable future this program is a good idea either i've never artsy care of region. well that brings us today here but surely will bring you all the latest high tech gadgets in our technology update before that though we'll take a look what's happening in business with yuliya. hello that's right time to delve into the world of business and zero hour is approaching for ben bernanke you too alkaline his vision of how to save the u.s. from slipping back into recession the markets will be really watching the federal reserve annual meeting in jackson hole they'll be looking for him stop the money printing press will once again be start it how whether to mccutcheon from evoke a gold believes the fed has fired at some nation and all it's got left to blanks.

all of the money has already been printed there's already massive cash reserves both outside of the us on a corporate level as well as at the federal reserve bank. and their own balance sheet when they bought up all of the mortgages and everything else back in two thousand and eight so no matter what they do they're really sort of a rock and a hard place if economic activity picks up in the u.s. then velocity picks up money starts moving more and more and there's a lot more money than there was three years ago that's inflationary if the economic cami doesn't pick up then they have to print more and more money to cover the budget deficit shortfalls they have which again is inflationary so they really don't have much choice the only thing they can do is raise rates but if they do that they're going to kill all the homeowners in the u.s. who are underwater on their mortgages so there's really not much more bernanke you can say frankly on friday than was already been so. let's have a look at the markets oil prices are down despite fears that harken i really could just find our production on the east coast of the u.s. . and thirty six hours selloff in the gold market pushed metals once again

climbing on monday it reached a record high of one thousand eight hundred dollars but this was followed by a three day correction and silver is just under one percent. and just three day european stock rally ended on thursday much like it began with a sudden turn the negative momentum is continuing on friday with many investors sidelined ahead of that statement and a pretty similar picture in russia investors are anticipating the decision on easing on the markets flash after seeing some gains in the first minutes of trading well the r.t.s. is gaining zero point four percent. but some look at some of the individual share moves on the minus six some oil majors are still under pressure with all snuffed losing ground hundred percent still make a case also down the company posted thirteen million dollars net profit in the second quarter well below expectations another still major superstar is also down

after posting a sixty. rise in second quarter profits that's also. russian equities have been struggling to find any positive momentum under a book done of a gasp from bank says investors should look to fundamental stories for a safer bet. it's better to just stick with fundamentals and look for the stores which are in any event a cheap and probably would well you would actually whether if you were russian market would probably be one of the stores from where the guests are through such a guest rob despite all the things associated with the company it's really really cheap company with their real assets there i would say you're off to look for the sharp sell off during the last couple of weeks it's no good buying opportunity. also some media stocks as well like s.t.s. media for example and then again i think there are a few universe you can not to really far and expensive story the question is not the price of question this. market prints which are again that would be very

unpredictable and rushing away as a part of global financial universe. is dependent to it. and all the news that russia's exports you see on oil will increase six dollars to four hundred forty four dollars per ton in september on thursday prime minister putin has also signed russia's new product export to to regime this is intended to increase investment in refining a help avoid repetition of the fuel shortages seen earlier this year. too but the subaru world's top new maker who saw want to sell their stake to a third tycoon now that's according to daley that it was to newspaper well that's a victory battleground they're not selling a sixteen cent stake worth around four point seven billion dollars from sales may no not look to the right of first refusal to buy the stake that you call fortune

a conflict between two solid roles over management in which your solos fifteen percent. russia's call market is that a stage of route health production has grown sixty seven percent year on year and is on course to make around two million cars and twenty eleven how whether a lack of locally produced cop parts is stiffening a full scale war denies ational the sector michael reports. it's always been about oil russia's economy is linked to black gold as if by an umbilical cord it's no wonder the government wants to diversify one of the big hopes is the car industry but what stifling its growth is a deficit of locally produced parts this car has been completely assembled in the kaluga region of russia however it has very few locally produced components and the new assembly line rules that the government is trying to implement this will have

to change because the creases that eventually all cars made in russia will have to have at least sixty percent of the locally produced components it effectively obliges companies to establish operations in russia from the ground up we're expecting sales to increase strongly in the medium term over the next five ten years and then of those cells we're expecting the percentage that are produced in russia to increase. and then the number of components locally produced in that production is going to increase significantly with the new decree and the focus on the boys ation the new rules have raised concerns they may hamper investment in final assembly vehicle plants but for the most part reaction has been positive the degree and she's with her i mean my i think it's integrated i don't see a lot of opportunity of improvement russia is still a long way from weaning itself of oil but analysts say the country could become europe's largest car producer as barring any further hiccups in the global economy
