posterity measures of twelve billion euro cuts and tax hikes for the rich. a public apology a vote for a new president but much of the country maroons years after being recognized as an independent state our top stories this hour. international news and comment live from our headquarters in moscow where it's not just possible even pm nine pm in libya where british tornado jets have full of cruise missiles or colonel gadhafi is command and control bunker in his hometown of sirte and it comes despite nato has previous denials that it would assist rebels in the hunt for the libyan leader and u.n. calls to arrest the leader and not kill him well it is more of an ocean of reports now from tripoli. he still remains the goal number one for the rebels and since the beginning of the operation here in the libyan capital of tripoli we've been hearing

numerous reports and we've been hearing numerous statements by leaders all the rebels that his whereabouts first as you remember they've announced that they've captured captured safely slanted up his son and then it turns out that he actually hasn't been captured then we've been receiving information that the rebels know where gadhafi is here in tripoli and they believe in sad but they've corners khadafi and there's been had lines on many international news channels for quite a while but it actually didn't end with any concrete detail and concrete success and today as well we are receiving reports that the rebels have flooded the streets of tripoli trying to hand down khadafy what we saw while driving from the tunisian libyan border to the capital tripoli differs a lot from what we used to see here in june and july when the western part of the country had been controlled by gadhafi forces new leaders flags. waving

everywhere and all the buildings all the walls covered with graffiti say in arabic english and french are welcome to new libya welcome to freely via i mean while reminders of the recent battles everywhere we've seen many bands and hangs burnt cars actually we've also got a feeling that the rebels are the only people left in the because of this picture as we've been driving through looped abandons and to go cities. meanwhile the pentagon says it's monitoring libyan sites containing stockpiles of chemical weapons but cannot guarantee the arsenals will end up in the right hands and include tons of mustard gas and raw uranium and reports that's causing concern with some rebel factions said to have been infiltrated by islamic extremists. tripoli a city in chaos there's constant gunfire both aggressive and celebration and on the

outskirts of the capital stockpiles of chemical weapons to know very little about the people who might come to power. tripoli you know if you've got this cache of weapons of mass destruction that 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 good government that's both good and bad news following a series of meetings in two thousand and three more likely to be agreed to allow weapons inspectors inside libya the first step towards of his w m d program in return for a normalizing of relations with the u.k. and u.s. that he wouldn't use all move the material but now thanks in part to nato support of the rebels exactly is on the back foot and may feel he has nothing to lose by

disregarding that agreement he's cry victory or martyrdom will strike an element to those who know of his weapons potential given the violations of. international territory of libya by needle led rebel forces i think that the idea that he would be goldens of these types of. remains 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. it's a fair assumption to say that if there is that capability that he would be looking your best option. 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 a 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 knew that the majority of the people who are fighting muslim extremists how their people

is going to be with those people are very mobile i believe there. will be more than. there are some indications nato is considering putting peacekeeping troops on the ground in libya regional experts who are back could be seen by parts of the free libya movement as an act of aggression but having supported the rebel movement and they too must now deal with the consequences even if that w m d arms islamic extremists lore and its own team. the director and founder of the french center for intelligence studies returned from libya a few weeks ago where he was hoping the national council to draft a new constitution but he fears the basis of the document could provoke the rise of islamic extremism in the country. provided that the article remember one of the of

the chart on the council to clear out the sharia will be the source of the juridical system of the whole of the future leave us on one side you have people who are talking about election about democracy will prevail but on the other side they are going back to the strongest position concerning a radical islamist i think it's a very very very they're warrick i think the problem is coming from the from the u.s. policy because who we used to see in france that the secret agreement with the people from. the dead is from the whole these forests and the sharia you still there are they really want them to get back to leave because they prefer to have these camps in libya than in iraq and they accept that they do what they want to do in libya. just one condition they want rather. and oh by the way you can express your opinion on the situation in libya by going to our website and participating in our latest

poll that some of the constrain she will got there for you well today we're asking what's coming up next for the libyan people and so far you believe they face a slow war for years to come and addiction and oil in the hands of puppets is the second most popular response and something you say that diplomats will take it from here and the victory is here if you haven't already done so express your put if you want to talk. turning to syria now where thousands of people are once again taken to the streets in protest against president bashar assad's regime the government has responded with force allegedly killing a number of demonstrators. has the latest now from the syrian capital. but the reason for the crackdown as the government says is because there have been armed groups infiltrating syria from a very southern countries including places like iraq or saudi arabia and they save those armed groups are behind are behind those from protesting against the change

of the regime now we did speak to some people who would not talk to us on camera who did say that fortunately there is some grain of truth to that that the armed gangs which the government just talking about have sort of developed the strategy of when they come behind the protesters who are protesting the current regime as they start shooting and then the armed forces the police are starting to shoot back as a result of these protesters who are stuck in between a rock and a hard place and they're the ones dying and this is this is what's happening according to those people who have been to the protests and also going to the policeman who did not want to talk on camera so in fact the situation in syria is very volatile it's basically hanging by a thread because unfortunately amidst the cries for a change of governments amidst the cries for reforms to be implemented fortunately there is also as experion violence which is starting to come up and is starting to shine through unfortunately there has been a lot of religious tension in the country as of late and this is

a country which is not used to that so what we're facing right now at this point is is a pos is the possibility of been another libyan scenario breaking out in this middle eastern country what the government says is obviously not enough to convince the international conservers that everybody else is over the world that what they're actually trying to solve the situation gets they have done away with the emergency rule which has been in place since the sixty's but there's more that needs to be done a lot of people are saying that the need jobs they need greater freedoms more human rights which they say are being violated the u.s. has implemented sanctions against the country of russia has been cautious and its approach off the situation in syria russian president has. basically said that it's a syrian problem and the syrians have to deal with it that means that russia does not want to see this scenario which has been playing out in libya to play out in syria and the people who are in the country will have to deal with it on their own without intervention from nato or the united states or any other country and any

political reporting there will on the way does. picking a new president find out what voters in the republic of a because you expecting from the you leader who will succeed the late president but . that's going to first europe spreading debt crisis is threatening to draw in france as the government announces new austerity measures and it concerns it could lose its aaa credit rating and you deficit reducing package will see some twelve billion euros worth of cuts plus a three percent tax for the rich because you don't know bush explains the move could be too little too late with fears social unrest is around the corner. france enjoys a triple a credit rating for now but with one of the ploys ratios among the world's top rated states many investors but told 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 mr causes presided over the biggest jump and levels in our history books that carry too much water sink. france has gone above the tolerance limit it's a prime minister your as he explained the new role of spending cuts this week particularly spear things so bad those cuts go nowhere near enough he can compare it with people saying we're going to buy a lamborghini and they only buy a porsche and they call that austerity doctors warn for all these huge did burden is bringing chronic underinvestment in schools and hospitals. getting. into. computers.

fashion. the situations explosive say experts and frauds could be next witness roy it's like those in britain with the proved regions like the inner part of cities in the suburbs. are certainly segregated to very high standards 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 chatted on budget day to his pacific island of new caledonia with students planning street protests over the cuts he's left the job of presenting them to his prime minister to let them take the. four and hopefully unions students. can march directly in protest against the ministers paving in a certain. absence in this time of crisis writes leading newspaper le figaro may be

clever politically but his failure to tackle the country's troubles now could be creating even greater problems for the future the new push to see paris. time now to update you on more world news in brief for you in our world operate this hour and first to nigeria where at least eighteen people have been killed and many injured after a car bomb attack outside the united nations' main office in the capital of abuja witnesses say a car drove through the security gates and smashed into the building which houses nearly four hundred employees the blast happened in the same area where the u.s. embassy and other diplomatic posts are the case it wouldn't even think group which wants to implement a strict version of sharia law in the nation has reportedly claimed responsibility for the attack. japan's prime minister has formally announced his resignation paving the way for the country six leader in five years as move follows nationwide criticism of his response to the devastating earthquake and tsunami that took place in march and triggered

a nuclear crisis at the fukushima plant between natural disasters claimed the lives of more than fifteen thousand people the survivors complaining about slow recovery efforts a new leader of the ruling democratic party who will most likely become japan's next prime minister will be chosen on monday. i've missed fifty three people are being killed in an acid attack at a casino in the mexican city of monterrey government burst into the venue sprayed it with fuel and then set it all far right one hundred staff and customers were present at the time many people were trapped inside and choked on smoke authorities suspect the attack which was one of the deadliest for several years was connected to organized crime. and seven states along the east coast of the u.s. have declared an emergency and anticipation of the arrival of hurricane irene in new york city the mayor has ordered some two hundred seventy thousand residents of low lying coastal areas to evacuate immediately the city's mass transit system is also being shut down for the first time ever before hurricane irene is expected to

strike within the next several hours. but their voting has come to a close a cause here which is electing a new leader following the death of its president said he broke up she passed away in may i think that his country for more than six years during which time managed to gain international recognition is in the cards in capital for us. three candidates have stepped in to try and take his place the vice president the prime minister and the former vice president all of them at the moment strong contenders it's not known well whether there is a lead contender at the moment as far as russia is concerned russia plays a big role here and helping to maintain the stability of the region they say that none of those no those kind of this really a very unsettled russian all very particularly over pro russian it wouldn't really have a problem with any of those candidates having having one so it's yet to be seen what

what will happen tomorrow as to who will win this whole contest watched also by many international observers at the moment because he has independence it's recognized by only five countries in the world but there are representatives of twenty seven countries here to watch these elections some indication perhaps of the interest in the elections here and also the fact that certain georges calls the people for observers not to cover what he's elections georgia still considers. to be part of its territory for non on some deaf ears twenty seven countries worth a deaf ear as we talked to one of those foreign observers earlier a representative of the swisscom. and i was invited to. have. a very quick reaction from georgia who says oh no don't go to my impression is good can be exactly the support what you're doing here because you are fighting for you are an

independence democracy which i appreciate the context of this country the people are fighting for the freedom that. people are going to want a lot from the next president primarily rebuilding and restructuring the country after a long fight for independence from from georgia since the collapse. so the soviet union right up until two thousand and eight when the independence was recognized by russia however all that fighting has left its main industries tourism and i would culture in a pretty poor state and that's going to the main priority for the next president to try and get this country canonically at least back on its feet georgia still claims a cause and self-assertive to the east to be part of georgia and so technically at least there is still a threat but a military threat to the integrity of this small caucasus republic there's also five thousand russian troops there helping to protect our cause here so in both the

sense of its territorial integrity and in terms of its economic strength the country has a long way to go it's hope that the next president will go a long way towards fulfilling those dreams. reporting there well now it's time for the latest in our close up series where we venture to undiscovered parts of russia . and today we're in the kit of region it's located around one thousand kilometers east of where i'm sitting here in moscow the city of kid of is a renowned cultural center famous for its folk art and a ray of museums and theaters as we explore the region r.t.c. got never explains how communities there are taking matters into their own hands in tackling local problems. they got what they asked for two slides a sand bank and it be charred might not seem like much but for

a small community in the cure of region they've become a leisure hotspot they 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 until 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 we were consulted over those very decision to build it and i think as a result people look after this property properly the idea of micro projects well 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 around houses to collect the cash nearly two hundred micro projects will be built in this region but end of the year it's a little you know we want to change people's attitudes instead of expecting things

done for them we want them to take initiative we're 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 are admirable has gone. the village of college shaky as just the repairs and residence several hundred of them petty criminals serving their time in a labor colony it has one poorly stocked shop and for every road built there turns more that need to be repaired one way 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 worth in a place for a major decisions are often made with little consultation for the foreseeable

hello and balkan suppose this is the markets have been waiting with bated. for the chairman of the federal reserve outlined how he would rescue the u.s. economy and by implication the world economy but ben bernanke the speech from jackson hole proved to be and so i climaxed he signaled no new moves and that the fed would not be cranking up the prints and presses for q e three nevertheless rolla nash investment strategist that burn the capital believes bernanke he still did a good job. he failed to disappoint by the pessimists and the optimist and given that the given that the the world's financial markets are really been focusing on this speech now for most of this week to get it just about right and i don't leave markets moving very rapidly in one direction or the other is probably the balance he wants to get actually i think they're going to switch or look to where the problem really exists right now which is in europe so they'll be watching europe

next week and to see whether markets in europe continue to react as badly as they have been in recent weeks if that happens then without bernanke he's standing behind to make some positive statements and i think you could see some further weakness in the markets what mr bernanke he was pointing out in the speech actually is that now you need to see something more from the government from fiscal policy you need to see help with mortgages in the u.s. you need to see structural reforms is not enough just to print more dollars and help hope that by printing more dollars you're going to print your way out of the current the current mess the problem in the us is fiscal and structural and i think that's where mr bernanke is hoping that the governor will now focus. oh let's take a look at the markets so oil prices are slightly higher this hour this wide sneers hurricane irene could disrupt the primary production on the east coast of the us let's take a look at precious metals gold is gaining in stack over eighteen hundred dollars an
