many way to spend on each week long there's no good time for you anymore the man says no no no. this was great where gadhafi soldiers my cousin to shoulder some of those who were their leader says the federal subsidies triple modish was. celebrated as oh another kind that's where they come still at large this battle is not yet over there is no shots tripoli. meanwhile the race for levy is vast oil wealth is gathering momentum states will work together during massive nato airstrikes are now working against each other in a battle to secure a lucrative energy contracts as art history for a three quarters led to fears that a new regime in libya could easily slide into garage. half a billion dollars from italy now walking one point five billion from the u.n.

. three hundred million dollars from turkey is discussions of bounds about the future of the case here it's the money that's been talking the loudest governments have a strong interest in opening up new funnels. opening up business for. everybody . foreign minister has the night there's a race on with france to be the first on the ground to restart business in libya but the italians have me clear their eagerness to maintain the extremely courageous trade ties they enjoyed and they get back the regime that is the money begins to flow to help the national transitional council if it takes power a big question mark a main saver exactly who these fast funds belong to in the gadhafi states which is coming to an end the borderline between wealth the private wealth of the gadhafi

family and the wealth of the state were not very clear so it's hard to see how much of this money was a direct in the nation of his wealth probably wealth and how much of it was actually. could be categorized as libyan assets because that the family were often accused of using libya's riches as their own personal pocket money now there are concerns that the unfreezing of libyan assets without effective monitoring kids aping the floodgates to new corruption is now a land of opportunity everybody's trying to. you know to sort of. be trying to exploit this war as best we can everybody lucrative oil gas and infrastructure projects to follow as the war torn country rebuilds everyone it seems. well it's a slice of the action

a war is nowadays indispensable for western economies western industries. you destroy your ability to read your review it's like a vicious sort of it's not just italy that have been trying to keep the national transitional council on like it or not the many western countries a place for libya i mean big business there for the land while there are hopes of democracy in the newly via many analysts say the reality is likely to be very different as the rebels have been infiltrated by islamic extremists journalist pepe escobar says al qaeda is already effectively in power in tripoli gears hall is good the fractal military commander of tripoli as we speak so give you and me who had keenly. that he was trained in afghanistan he was struck by the cia after nine eleven he was friends with zarqa when he was captured in malaysia in two thousand and three he was tortured in

bangkok you know one of those extremely rendition cia prisons in bangkok he was sent back to the libyans he made a deal with saif al islam in two thousand and nine he was released and now he's the military commander of trip from the beginning when that whole february seventeenth movement was hijacked by the veto powers by the u.s. military defectors from tripoli everybody was working together including this are fiji had this that's why we don't know what's going to happen next journalist purpose of are there commenting on a current situation in libya. or fresh diplomatic efforts to and the ongoing violence in syria have been made by russia as it introduced its own draft u.n. resolution moscow was calling on both sides in a country to engage in dialogue and the president bashar asad to speed up promised reforms are just going to shake out 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 graphic resolution which will be an alternative to the resolution that the u.s. and european representatives are putting together a letter has already been dubbed as sanctions resolution the u.s. and european leaders trying to put more pressure on the syrian government where as the russian version of the resolution makes two very important points first of all it cost to 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 going 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 be like two different species from two different planets so what we have seen from . colleagues u.k. and others it's completely biased on the leading exclusively on the syrian government that goes you haven't seen. the need for dialogue doesn't encourage your position for dialogue in fact our concern is that it's going to push the the more extreme the more destructive elements of the syrian opposition towards. an even stronger efforts in order to topple the syrian government so that's why we don't like all. the callers are throwing that resolution and propose an alternative to keep the security council of the world but the collaborative world. for months

russia has been pointing at the problem with the attitude the west of the west worse the dramatic developments in syria moscow says that it has been exclusively about exerting pressure on one of the parties namely the syrian government and president sought which effectively it sends the wrong message to the syrian opposition prompting them to believe that if they remain insistent in the situation keeps getting critical the west will come to help them you know the way it happened in libya 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 now or how the resolution how far the resolution can go both russia and the u.s. have veto power as we know along was 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 going to

shout reporting there from washington d.c. are you watching our show live from moscow still i have for you this hour there in storage for braces itself for historic hurricane irene with evacuations from the city as well as airports public transport being shut down. and a paragon report says china will be a leading world military power within the next decade i doubt why it's concerned. the people of the caucuses republic of a posse have elected a new president vice president alexander is confirmed to have won about fifty five percent of the vote in the presidential election seen off the challenge of two rivals the early election was triggered by the sudden death of president sergei bug option in may after cancer treatment there's much at stake as the republic needs to rebuild following its long fight for independence from georgia russia recognize the positive sovereignty into. thousand and eight and it fears violence could break out

a court hearing he said he did it because he's hard of hearing but the judge didn't accept that it was a very harsh sentence and i believe it was because he's uncovering the corruption that the judiciary schiedam frown upon a scot is no stranger to the legal system he won a case in the european court of human rights bombings and secret hearings yet still some cases in england all heard behind closed doors and recording and taking photographs is forbidden unlike in other e.u. countries scott attends demonstrations where he shouts about corruption in the police and judiciary saying lawyers police and the courts are in cahoots and regularly persecution guy those who disagree with him that's why m.p. john hemming suspects the judge was trying to shut him are we having theory in this country something called freedom of expression much as people's right to speak out about what they see is wrong as long as they're telling the truth and i'm very

worried this is an attempt to gag an elderly gentleman who may not always be right but he has a right here luckily for scott he has friends with knowledge of the law and they're acting for him normally far from portugal for his case here to the royal courts of justice but they do feel justice is being served ahead meanwhile the guard claims he's being denied it then chill medication in prison. according to reports conditions in leeds prison. 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 storage and royal every day maybe for this long. norman scarth has vowed to keep fighting to expose corruption just as he fought all those years ago to keep fascism out of his country the irony is the country he fought for is now the one he's fighting against laura and it r.t.

a social problem and russia there are thousands of thousands of orphans but the fact most of the parents all relatives outside of the orphanage but these people simply do not want to look after them all kind of be trusted to do so so this is something that needs to be solved on a social level where the general social problems the force these children to be taken away how can they be tackled so it's not necessarily something that either an individual orphanage or horn individual part of russia can provide but then the same in the care of regions are trying to say ok we're being dealt with all these orphans we're receiving all these people but at least all we can do is plug all of them a new home and that's what they're trying to do as you can see more appalled. in russia it's full of that have to find a new family for healthy old friends it's even harder for children like these all of them diagnosed with serious physical mental all psychological disabilities.

what care the children receive we are all of the staff here still know than an orphanage is no substitute for a family quick straw poll shows as much more than i want but 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. care provider new problems but these children are commendable but under is only so much that a lot can do to solve the problem of adoption costs in a not only doctor for children from orphanage number one but also sits on an adoptive parents committee yes david duncan you i think the problem is the social attitudes towards the youth children it's not a case of money where an average family all of the state support is really there you just have to love the children themselves. i learned fourteen says she was betrayed by her parents and those who promised a doctor and. she finally found

a. group when you're in the home you are always just a part of the group but here in the family you're needed by someone there is more tenderness more love i'm happy. so i just make an effort to connect with the world outside and becomes more widespread in society. and things like this one you can. see your region. archita has a lot more stories analysis for you and here's a taste of what we've got lined up in our france is finding it hard to crunch the numbers as growth on it and their surges find out why it's fear of lamb government cuts soon sand riders they had their anger on the streets. and i wasn't in trouble or arm tied to a curse or force the plane had turned out at a moscow airport by a passenger of breaking into mile high street teens find out more about the

to still make six weeks in france maybe for world peace or to end hunger or something like that but. if it was the ending. for wrote it never ending hunger around the world you could unite here that would be good nothing nothing i don't think so. what about if it ended war. can imagine. i'm sorry the deficit. in congress. so if american women have in fact do you think it would change things here we would solve the deficit crisis very quickly we're going to do it was going to do and the only way to get their man motivated i can understand it or get me on the show pretty quickly is there any thing that you would withhold facts for are you kidding no. there's not

a problem being in the world that would have me with my wife i think it's an effective tactic. it certainly works there good for them do you think it would work anywhere in the world yes i think men and women interact the same way everywhere do you think it would work if man without facts to get something done no. no i don't think we have the same leverage i mean if it weren't sure i think it's a little crazy but i mean hey you gotta do what you gotta do is no crazier than going to war and shooting people to get things done that is very true whether or not you agree with these women tactic the bottom line is i got the job done with no violence and. well shortly we explore what russia needs to do to attract more foreign investors and that's after a week out of this hour's top stories in just a few moments. the
