when we interviewed so many weapons i'm going to quote there's no gadhafi anymore. than salah nothing was done this was great and tough so to speak doesn't this sound is such that we think there is some acceptance it's because it's my father's. son right is not like heinz that's. still at large this is not yet over. tripoli. meanwhile the race for levy has vast oil wells is gathering momentum states who work together during massive nato airstrikes are now working against each other in the battle to secure a lucrative energy contracts but as our first reports it's led to fear is that a new regime in media could easily slide into corruption. half

an end the borderline between wealth the private wealth for because of his family and the wealth of the city were not very clear so it's hard to see how much of his money was a direct in the nation of gadhafi as well of wealth and how much of it was actually . could be categorized as libyan assets the gadhafi family were authentic cheesed of using libya's riches as their own personal pocket money now there are concerns that the unfreezing of libyan assets went out effective monitoring key to aid in the floodgates to new corruption leaders now a lot of opportunities everybody is trying to. you know it's sort of. to try to exploit this war best. political will gas and infrastructure projects to follow as the war torn country rebuilds and

. everyone it seems well it's a slice of the action a war is nowadays indispensable for western economies western interest is to leave . you destroy your field because you reveal it's like a vicious circle it's not just italy that have been trying to keep the national transitional council. like it or not and many western countries pay for libya will mean big business there for. well there are help some democracy in the new media many hours saying their reality is likely to be very different as the rebels have been infiltrated by islamic extremist dries pepe escobar says hire actively in power in tripoli guess who is good defacto military commander of tripoli as we speak so give you and me do had keenly. and he is there now. that he was trained in afghanistan he was struck by the cia after nine eleven he

barack obama they can march and now it will take days to resolve the situation via the military force and leave you i should remind you that more than six months the main perpetrator colonel qadhafi is still at large and now the main question for russian can and russell is what's next the ground invasion peacemaking stability operation or the new incur nation off us believing from the un resolution one thousand seven hundred three as a responsibility to protect turned out to be nothing less than a license to kill. and that was our military contributor uganda crucial with his assessment of nato campaign in the pm. frash diplomatic efforts to and the ongoing violence in syria have been made by russia as its interviews its

own draft u.n. resolution moscow is calling on both sides of the country to engage in dialogue and for president bashar allows it to speed up promised reforms he's got an edge to account is across the latest. it looks like we're going to see a barrel of two different versions of resolutions on syria the u.n. security council russia is putting forward its draft resolution which will be an alternative to the resolution that the u.s. and european representatives are putting together the letter has already been dubbed as hankins resolution the u.s. and european leaders want to put pressure on the syrian government whereas the russian version of the resolution makes true very important points first of all it cost the syrian government to expedite the implementation of the reforms that president assad has announced in order to effectively address the legitimate aspirations and concerns of the syrian people and second it urges the syrian opposition to engage in political dialogue with the syrian authorities about what

reforms to carry out in the country the syrian opposition definitely could be more forthcoming in that direction so a very important difference there the russian draft resolution does not put pressure on just one side it calls for dialogue it calls for restraint on both sides and here is more on that from russia's and void to the united nations who spoke with us earlier if there are some constructive ideas from our colleagues we're prepared to absorb them but of course simply you know marrying the two would go to different species from two different planets so what we're seeing from. colleagues or u.k. and others it's a completely biased on the leading exclusively on the syrian government that doesn't have anything about the need for dialogue doesn't go to your position for dialogue in fact our concern is that it's going to be the more extreme the more destructive elements of the syrian opposition towards. even stronger

efforts in order to topple the syrian government so that's why we don't like at all. our western quotas of trying to achieve by that resolution and then propose an alternative to keep the security council involved but the world. for months russia has been pointing at the problem with the attitude the west of the west towards the dramatic developments in syria also says that attitude has been exclusively about exerting pressure on one of the parties namely the syrian government and president also which effectively sends the wrong message to the syrian opposition prompting them to believe that if they remain insistent on the situation keeps getting critical the west will come to help them you know the way it happened did leave the russian resolution calls on the syrian authorities to allow unhindered access to international humanitarian agencies and to fully cooperate with the un commissioner for human rights and now as for how the resolution how far the resolution can go

both russia and the u.s. have veto power as we go along with china the u.k. and france and that means whatever resolution comes out at the end of the day it has to be acceptable for at least all of the five permanent members of the u.n. security council if they don't agree there is going to be no resolution. reporting there also i have for you this hour here in our team gathering storm new york braces itself for you story here again i remain with evacuations from the city as well as airports and public transport being shut down. and amazon reports says china will be a leading world military power within the next decade find out why it's so concerned. the people of the caucuses republic of apology have been voting for a new president and it looks like they've settled upon their choice preliminary data shows vice president alexander has won more than fifty percent of vote in the presidential election beating the challenge of two rivals the early election was

regularly persecution of those who disagree with them that's why m.p. john hemming suspects the charge was trying to shut him up we have in theory in this country something called freedom of expression much as people write. what they . she is wrong as long as they're telling the truth and i'm very worried this is an attempt to gag an elderly gentleman he may not always be right but he has a right here luckily for scott he has friends with knowledge of the law and there to pull him normally the courts of the for his case here to the boil court of justice but they don't feel justice is being served to have meanwhile claims he's being denied it then chill medication in prison according to reports conditions in leeds prison are the war veteran can't get any exercise because he's unable to walk for the entire hour allocated scott also says he's being denied access to a lawyer by his jailers still drawing on every day every fall it's like well it's

of american aircraft carriers american militants have ten nimitz class aircraft carriers so even if they built one or two or even three or not this chariot they're nowhere near the level they would need to challenge the united states. and that was can harden an expert on asia military affairs. russia's far east as seen its third shark attack in the space of ten days after a man was savaged while swimming in pacific waters the victim was taken to hospital with his forearm badly injured and suffering wounds to use body a man and the five swimming ban on parts of russia's east coast brought in after the two other recent incidents the first record of shark attacks in the country's history last week saw one man lose both hands of four arms trying to protect his wife while in another case a sixteen year old diver's leg was severely you us rated. for the shark or sharks

a social problem in russia there are thousands of thousands of orphans but in fact most of them have parents or relatives outside of the orphanage but these people simply do not want to look after them or come of the trust of the so this is something to be solved on a social level general social problem but for these children taken away how can they be tackled so it's not necessarily something that either an individual or for those born in the vigil part of russia can provide but in the same region but try to say ok we're being dealt with all these orphans of it receiving all these people but at least all we can do is find them a new home and that's what they're trying to do as you can see. in russia it's hard enough to find a new family for healthy olson's it's even harder for children like these all of them diagnosed with serious physical mental all psychological disabilities.

here at kira's orphanage number one they manage it while in russia there are currently a hundred and fifty thousand children who haven't been adopted here ninety eight percent of all orphans find a new family the four to six times the chela so many orphanages exist by themselves in isolation we are reaching out to the potential parents and the authorities and working with them. first course of action is to try and place the children back with their biological parents who often give them up scared off by the diagnoses often and show that with the right care these children can lead normal lives their parents have to prove their attitude has changed other potential adopters through educational courses and ongoing medical support all basics and the worst of hardly universal in russia and yet stuff say these on the main reasons for their success. that we get. doesn't matter how good the facilities are here or what care the children receive we are all of the staff here still know than an orphanage is no

substitute for a family a quick straw poll shows as much. for a long as there are three of us here me and my two sisters we really want to be adopted by the same family but not everyone wants three kids to orphanages track record is anything to go by they'll soon find a family the. new families for these children are commendable but others only so much of an orphanage can do to solve the problem of adoption that hearing the cost and not only adopted four children from orphanage number one but also sits on an adoptive parents committee can you look at i think the problem is the social attitude toward the children it's not a case of money where now marriage family all of the state support is really there you just have to love the children themselves i learned whose fourteen says she was betrayed by her parents and those who promised her doctor and never did them she finally found a home. in the home you're always just

a part of the group but here in the family you are needed by someone there is not tenderness more love i'm happy. with all asking. so often it does make an effort to connect with the world outside and adoption becomes more widespread and society will be more happy endings like this one eager ordinary of. argy dot com has a lot more stories and analysis for you and here's a taste of what we've got for you there today france is finding it hard to crunch the numbers as growth moments and death surges find out why it's feared planned government cuts could soon sand riders to van fear and anger on the streets. it was an engine trouble for our entire force the plane to turn back at
