just after six pm on saturday here in moscow you with r.t. i'm a role research shy fierce fighting reported in parts of libya as well mark about the remains at large despite nato's support of the rebels and the hunt for the fugitive colonel coalition forces have launched an attack on his last remaining stronghold could offer his hometown of saturday to pave the way for a full scale ground offensive by the rebels or if an officer is in libya and brings us this report on the humanitarian side of the conflict. was a bad wound there. was. the hell the bible of the khadafi regime is not heretical book in the new libya nobody's seen the people nobody cared about this before you. the capital tripoli is enough for a. people may not know for sure what the future will bring but they know that the past will never return.

everything that might remind people of all decades of dictatorship is be overthrown this is only for dirty things no only for do the things he's fighting has continued since rebel forces and to tripoli during the week and much of the city bears the scars a war on top of months of relentless bombing by nato new evidence of the bloodshed emerged when hundreds of bodies were found in a hospital abandoned by stuff lay in their arrival of rebel forces with no one clear control many residents now live in fear of anarchy and of armed men from both sides of the conflict. these men proudly shows as a trophy one while he took part in the overrunning of conduct his residence bubble is asea when we entered we saw many weapons and. there is no. me anymore.

but the man says he would love to have another prize khadafi his hand. was great down the supporters of the government to show their solidarity with their leader says the rebels have and to keep a largish what was celebrated as oh another kind that's where they can all still at large this battle is not yet over there is no snow tripoli. and i watch tripoli is celebrating the end of a dictatorship analysts are skeptical democracy is next in line for libya journalist pepe escobar told us that al-qaeda is already effectively in power in the capital gas hall is that the fact all military commander of tripoli as we speak i'll give you an e dual had keane bol had and he is there now yes that he was

trained in afghanistan he was struck by the cia after nine eleven he was friends with zarko when he was captured in mostly asia 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 of the window hold february seventeenth movement was hijacked by the veto powers by the u.s. military defectors from tripoli everybody was working together including to so afi jihad this that's why we don't know what's going to happen next. while the u.n. is calling for a halt to violence in libya nato allies are already eyeing up the country's vast oil reserves countries who've worked together to break it off its rule are now racing against each other to secure lucrative energy contracts and. ports for years a new regime in libya could easily slide into corruption. half

a billion dollars from italy now a whopping one point five billion from the u.n. that's one two three hundred million dollars from turkey it's discussions a bound about the future of the case here is the money that's been talking the loudest government over strong interest in. opening up business for. everybody is the reason for its lead foreign minister has denied that 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 close trade ties they enjoyed under the gadhafi regime but as the money begins to flow to help the national transitional council as it takes power the big question mark remains a very exactly who these fast funds belong to the states which is coming to

an end the borderline between wealth the problem well it's family and the wealth of the state not very clear so of it's hard to see how much of this money was a direct in the nation of gadhafi as well probably wealth and how much of it was actually. could be categorized as libyan assets the gadhafi 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. it is now a land of opportunities and everybody's trying to. you know it's sort of. trying to exploit as you swore as best everybody. will gas and infrastructure projects to follow as the war torn country rebuilds

everyone it seems wants a slice of the action a war is nowadays indispensable for western economies were serving to streets to leave. you destroy your appeal to destroy everything you rebuild it's like. it's not just italy that have been trying to keep the national transitional council. like you know not so many western countries a place for libya i mean big business so. i thought it was coming to you live from the heart of moscow and still to come in the program in the eye of the storm new york person gets over the arrival of hurricane irene as parts of the city are evacuated and public transport is being shut down. russia has introduced a draft resolution and he went to security council designed to push the warring sides in syria towards peaceful dialogue moscow says its proposal is based on a similar statement unanimously passed by the security council earlier this month

but the draft could face stiff opposition from western countries who are calling for a change of power in syria parties guy next to counterparts. it looks like we're going to see a battle 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 being dubbed as sanctions resolution the u.s. and european leaders want to put more pressure on the syrian government whereas 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 washroom 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 boy to the united nations who spoke with us earlier if there are some constructive ideas from our colleagues. 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 our colleagues and others it's completely biased and leaning exclusively on the syrian government that doesn't have anything about the need for dialogue doesn't that god is 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. even stronger efforts in order to topple the syrian government so that's why we don't like at all what. to achieve by that resolution and propose an alternative to that to keep

the security council involved but the have it devolved into. for months russia has been pointing at the problem with the attitude the west of the west towards the dramatic developments in syria moscow says that attitude has been exclusively about exerting pressure on one of the parties namely the syrian government and president sought which effectively sends the wrong message to the syrian opposition prompting them to believe that if they remain insistent 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 now as for how the resolution how far the resolution can go both russia and the u.s. have veto power as we know 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. now it's eleven minutes past the hour here in moscow a british man who challenge the judiciary system to expose corruption within courts is losing his battle. in world war two veteran has lost an appeal against a six month jail sentence for recording a court hearing without permission but laura reports the eighty six year old is determined to fight on with his campaign for transparency. british prisons are full to bursting the courts are working overtime sending young people to jail for their role in the recent riots in england and if they're sent to leeds prison they'll be languishing alongside eighty five year old norman scar he played the arctic sea cheering the second world war serving his country taking essential supplies to the

soviet union on the most dangerous journey in the world and now he's serving six months in prison on the whim of a british judge his crime recording 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 season covering the corruption of the judiciary you see that. scar is no stranger to the legal system he won a case in the european court of human rights bombings 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 scarth attends demonstrations where he shouts about corruption in the police and judiciary saying lawyers police and the courts are in cahoots and regularly persecution of those who disagree with them that's why m.p.

john hemming suspects the judge was trying to shut him up we have in theory in this country something called freedom of expression that is people's right to speak out about what they see as wrong as long as they're telling the truth. and i'm very worried this is an attempt to gag an elderly gentleman may not always be right but he has a right to speak and luckily he has friends with knowledge of the will and their forehead normal child support system for his case here to the oil court of justice but they don't feel justice is being served to heaven meanwhile claims he's being denied it until 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. scott also says he's being denied access to a lawyer by his jail is still going on every day and if you call this long easy it's easy. 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's. just having a quarter past the hour now here in moscow major cities along the eastern seaboard of the u.s. including new york are bracing themselves for the wrath of hurricane irene it's expected to flood lower parts of manhattan as public transport including the subway will be shut down for the first time ever despite it weakening to a category one storm forecasters say it remains extremely dangerous president obama has warned could be historic. has more from new york. more than eight million new yorkers are preparing for what's expected to be a dangerous and possibly disastrous hurricane on its way to new york city this hurricane is expected to hit new york by nine pm saturday evening

parts of the city was was filled with crowds of people as you saw officials evacuating new yorkers from parts of areas that were deemed extremely dangerous for the first time in history the new york city mayor ordered mandatory evacuation of what he called lone rise areas these are areas all throughout new york they were very close to the water as of twelve pm all public transportation will come to one hall it's also been recommended to anyone that lives above the tenth floor to evacuate from their building now up until this point new yorkers were really taking these warnings in these forecasts seriously because the last time this city experienced our hurricane very heavy and dangerous hurricane was in one thousand nine hundred thirty eight but as we saw saturday we saw the winds

picking up we saw many people rushing to the supermarkets rushing to the stores to start out by good stock up on food stock up on water some engineers believe that the infrastructure of new york city because it is so old may not be able to withstand the powers of the wind there may be flooding in tunnels of new york city some airports may be flooded homes possibly even flooded and or destroyed so at this point everybody is preparing for the worst bracing themselves hoping it's not going to be as bad as forecasted but if it is it is not clear what will be of new york come monday. leading the way.

the russian navy has once again successfully testified the country's newest ballistic missile designed to carry nuclear weapons the submarine based system will upgrade the country's atomic arsenal with a maximum range of eight thousand kilometers it can hold up to ten warheads to strike multiple targets the missile is also capable of making a face of maneuvers to avoid being shot down several previous test launches have been marred by failures which were blamed on production of the missiles will be installed on two russian nuclear submarines with more subs of carrying the weapon to be built over the next few years. the pentagon has issued a report warning that china is on track to becoming a leading military power by two thousand and twenty beijing it's called the document distorted it claims the country's expanding military capabilities could potentially destabilize the balance of power in asia over the past year china has developed a new stealth fighter an aircraft carrier and has made

a record number of space launchers however beijing says it's the normal progression of its technology and it's not targeting any supposed enemy an expert on asian and military affairs called helen and says the u.s. is nothing it's own interests and making a fuss about china. there's a lot of hype going on right now in the united states and and some of that is speak as they want to raise the chinese up so there were big danger that way we can keep a large military footprint in asia but it also has to do with internal matters to push to cut the military budget the arms companies and the military in short digging in their heels and so there is trowing up this kind of chinese bugaboo aircraft carriers this missile which can sink aircraft here it's not even tested keep in mind they have one aircraft carrier which is one half the size of american aircraft carriers american air millikan's have an nimitz class aircraft

carrier so even if they built one or two or even three more aircraft carriers they're nowhere near the level they would need to challenge the united states. nearly twenty minutes past the hour here in moscow let's check out some other international headlines now in our world update here and see hundreds of afghan militants have swept across the border into pakistan and attacked several security checkpoints that killed at least twenty six troops they've been seized other areas are triggering further clashes with security forces meanwhile a twin suicide bomb attack has killed at least four and wounded twenty in southern afghanistan police officers and civilians were among those injured by the explosions the taliban has now claimed responsibility. and to algeria now way a suicide attack on a military academy has killed at least eighteen most of them trainee offices up to twenty others were injured it happened in the city over churchill a report say up to two bombers set off their explosives of soldiers were breaking

their dhamma done fast although no one's claimed responsibility similar assaults have been blamed on the regional arm of al qaida. yemen is experiencing a sharp rise in the number of somali refugees flooding into the country thousands of choosing to cross the gulf of aden on overcrowded boats instead of seeking shelter in neighboring countries kenya being the largest host country and also suffering from famine has already received nearly half a million somalis the drought has put about twelve million people at risk across ethiopia kenya djibouti and somalia. the former georgian republic of coliseum has elected a new leader following the death of its president alexander so off two of the candidates to the top seed which will now occupy it over the next five years and reports there are some big business to be taken care of in the little little country. former vice president alexander un vibe is now the president of the

caucasus republic of cars here the central election commission announced that he took fifty five percent of the one hundred two votes cast and they put voted turnout at a high seventy two percent all of this was made necessary by the death of the previous president surrogate by a gap which on the twenty ninth of may he died suddenly leaving power vacuum in his place they have cuz young people are going to expect a lot from mr primarily building up cars use ruined infrastructure after a long struggle for independence from georgia three years ago russia recognize the independence of abkhazia after a war away to the east in south aset year and fears that the georgia may attack abkhazia as well that was just the end of a long struggle for independence which started after the collapse of the soviet union and left a lot of the young republics infrastructure in ruins primarily the famous once

famous soviet holiday resorts along the coast here that will need to be built up and also the agriculture and growing industries also very famous here but now very weak and if mr can build up both of those things he'll help this young republic to stand on its own two feet again. reporting right now if you stay with us time to join our close up team in their travels across the world's largest country of course russia their chance to explore its historic regions and a thousand year old traditions. and today we continue exploring russia's acute region it's about a thousand kilometers away from moscow the area isn't just known for its folk art and museums and theaters here family comes first and locals try to help or often kids to try and find. even children with physical mental and

psychological disabilities don't feel abandoned. the difficulty to overcome being an orphan is also a social problem and russia there are thousands of thousands of orphans but the fact most of them have parents or relatives outside of the orphanage but these people simply do not. trust it to do so so this is something that needs to be solved on a social level general social problems that cause these children to be taken away how can they be. something. individual or. part of russia can provide but then the. region to try to say ok we. receive all these people but at least we can do is find a new home and tried 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. serious physical mental or psychological disabilities. but here at kira's. 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. 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 parents who often give them up scared off. by the diagnoses the orphanage showed that with the right care these children can lead normal lives the parents have to prove their attitude has changed for other potential adopters their educational courses and ongoing medical support all basics in the west but hardly universal in russia yet

staff say these on the main reasons for their success. it 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 work here that our young people 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 they may care for a new families for these children are commendable but under is only so much that an orphanage can do to solve the problem of adoption that the customer not only adopted four children from all from the jumble one but also sits on an adoptive parents committee yes the bill can you be 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 alone or who's fourteen says she was betrayed by her parents and those who promised to adopt her and never did then she finally found a home so your group when you're in the home you are 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 alaska. 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 either ordinary of our. own region.
