a trophy one while he took part in the overrunning of conduct his residence double as a zia when we entered we saw many will and. there is no gadhafi anymore the but the man says he would love to have another prize khadafi is had was great. this was my cousin to show this sometimes you're with them here. and to keep it but. celebrate is another kind that's. still at large this is not yet over. all that's really across life to muddle our court of try eco peace activists who was in libya earlier this month monitoring the humanitarian situation there thanks very much for joining us now you were in libya can you give us

a better perspective on the situation on the ground we're seeing pictures but how bad is it for the locals as you've seen. according to my friends. i could not go see. you hurry up there you go there and i have. been much of. a danger because of their. actions. during the past and manhunter their. situation which reminds me. in two thousand there. were saying oh we're hearing reports hundreds of bodies being found around now you say you were talking to your friends who were there how are the people feeling about the a price they are paying for this revolution. people i am talking.

to this need to war and go. to guy you need to talk so. they don't agree with this result and the situation. room and. also. for a lot of the families will. leave the from the east because. there's . still the. people when i met them and now i don't know about a good situation so there's a lot of collateral damages of this war we already saw many many civilian victims and now we go on. record. and or song. yeah speaking about when this is over or when it can move

forward thank. you for the hands of the rebel national transitional council. you see we can think of the past around the corner concerning human rights. rebels posted by nato and by qatar and saudi arabia. committed a lot of crimes this is also also international organizations on sure that. the surest is not they showed they wanted more bomb so because even i i knew some people who are supporting jobs under counties and they say to nations not daunting enough they really didn't care about civilian victims or you know if you can call who they are a. coalition of some a sort of middle cia protected. child or man this or anyway

islamic groups and the form of. the mistress of the last one by the way. and if you think also of what happened in kosovo. kosovo the variation army and what happened in afghanistan or read there were or so which were supported by the united states against the taliban and were really terrible and the aryan power to steal and if you think of iraq old saw worked out and that would then you are so iraq i am not mistaken don't think many many gen sources are not. crazy i just want to clarify what you think are you saying that to some those that you've been talking to nato especially the rebels so you don't think at all that this could be a homegrown revolution i mean we do see these pictures of people ordinary people

who say they're happy about what's happening in libya right now to libya as the six million. he told larsen in my good answer some people of course are happy but not the majority. in my opinion and it was the same you know i mean the media casting it's our. images of each. one. not asked to go in and. not get in they wander there. there's going to be a democracy because the. council has not been elected by any god. ok let's talk about the my aggressive that brought them up what about them as well as you get out in oil this what kind of life is in store for them. you know. e.j. you supported very much a decent war now i expect that sort of my from my. from the got you know young

government and notions when you tell young people to accept as a. migrant that coming from relieve your angers or leave you. cannot stay down anymore because a day at a target. in your future you are such. a mystery it will not happen so these people are healing dens and i am worried about them and the already saw a lot of. massacres of those some. people who were not a. nationalist and even they were not fighting they were just the inequality and a rare thing that they went against that you swore and they were killed there are a lot of. the ford as you.

know you only. who escaped from eastern libya many hundred not. and sort out some sort of family if big there was i wonder what happened there what we like and. all right certainly the question there thank you very much i'm having a lot cortege that you can use out of the talking to what. i wanted to add something i did because of your legal something you've already very much clearer fran but. didn't you knew young you were in this war. has already gone. the. twenty eight billion dollars for evil years only got the total run point five billion dollars because maybe you didn't do it so much as saw economy making the war so greed is making wars ok well we'll end it there thank you very much again about inadequate at uco

peace activist talking to us from italy thank you. and so while the un is calling for a halt to violence in libya nato allies are already eyeing up the country's vast oil reserves countries who work together to break a rule are now racing against each other to secure lucrative energy contracts and authority sarraf earth reports its lots of fears 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. . three hundred million dollars from turkey this is questions abound 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 business for. everybody is the reason for its lead 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 close trade ties they enjoyed under the gadhafi regime but as the money begins to flow to help the national transitional council and it takes power a big question mark lane's a greek sakhi he these fast funds belong to indeed gadhafi states which is coming to an end the borderline between wealth the problem well it's 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 emanation of his wealth of wealth and how much of it was actually. could be categorized as libyan assets because the family were awfully keys of easing libya's riches and their own personal pocket money now there are concerns that the unfreezing of libyan assets without effective monitoring key to aid in the

floodgates to new corruption is now a lot of opportunities and everybody's trying to. you know it's sort of. trying to exploit this war as best the. police could have oil gas and infrastructure projects to follow as the water on country rebuilds everyone it seems. well the slice of the action i wore is not what is indispensable for western economies we're serving to salute. you destroy your view because for every review it's like the official story it's not just italy that have been trying to keep the national transitional council. like it or not the many western countries a place for libya i mean big business there for. and coming up in the program in the eye of the storm new york is bracing itself for the

arrival of hurricane irene as parts of the city are evacuated and other transport has been shut down. now a british man who challenged me to destroy the system in the u.k. to expose corruption within courts is losing his battle norman scarth an outspoken world war two veteran has lost an appeal against a six month jail sentence for recording a court hearing without permission as are reports the eighty five 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 if they're sent to leave prison be languishing alongside eighty five year old norman scar he plied 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 with hosting a court hearing he said he did it because he's hard of hearing but the judge didn't except that it was very harsh sentence and i believe it was because she's a recovering the corruption of the judiciary she done frown upon a scar is no stranger to the legal system he won a case in the european court of human rights banning the secret hearings yet still some cases in england or 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 gag those who disagree with them that. that's why m.p. john hemming suspects the church was trying to shut him up we have in theory in

this country something called freedom of expression much as people 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 who may not always be right but he has a right to be here luckily the scars he has friends with knowledge of the law and they're acting for him normally the support of the for his case here to the boil court of justice but they don't feel justice is being served to him meanwhile claims he's being denied it then chilled 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 it's a religion going on every day and every call this law is a challenge to. 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. london. a major cities along the eastern seaboard of the us including new york are bracing themselves for the wrath of here again i remain let's expect that a flood of parts of lower manhattan public transport including the subway has been shut down or the spotted weakening to a category one storm forecasters say it remains extremely dangerous and president obama has warned it could be historic artie's many report maya has more from new york. public transportation in new york city including the metro and buses have come to wall halls as new york city prepares for this dangerous and possibly destructive hurricane 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

previous presidents surrogate by a grouch on the twenty ninth of may he died suddenly leaving a power vacuum in his place because you 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 our cars here after a war away to the east in south ossetia and fears that the georgia may attack cars here 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 ones famous soviet holiday resorts along the coast here that will need to be built up and also the agriculture and fruit growing industries also very famous here but now very weak and if mr and clout can build up both of those things he'll help this

young republic to stand on its own two feet again. on how it's time to join our close a team of their travels across the world's largest country russia exploring its historic regions and thousand year old traditions. and today we continue exploring russia's kirov region some one thousand kilometers from moscow the area is address known for its folk art and array of museums that theaters here family comes first and locals try to help all orphaned kids find a home as. reports even children with physical mental and psychological disabilities don't feel about. being a personal tragedy added difficulty to overcome being an orphan there's also social problem in russia there are thousands of thousands of orphans but the fact most of

them are either parents all relatives outside of the orphanage but these people simply do not want to look after them all culebra trusted to do so so this is something that needs to be solved on a social level general social problem the for these children to be taken away and how can they be tackled so that's not necessarily something that either an individual orphanage or an individual part of russia can provide but then the same in the care of regional troy they're saying ok we're being dealt with all these orphans we're receiving all these people but at least all we can do is provide 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 hard enough for a new family for healthy old friends it's even harder for children like these all of them diagnosed with serious physical mental also i can logical disability. here at kira's orphanage number one they manage it well in russia there are currently hundred and fifty thousand children who haven't been adopted here ninety

percent of all find a new family and for those six. many orphanages exist by themselves in isolation we are reaching out to the potential parents and the. thora g.'s and working with them. first course of action is to try and place the children back with logical parents who often give them up scared off 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 for other potential adopters through 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 and that are ugly 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. but i know 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 if the orphanage is track record is anything to go by they'll soon find a family there may care to find new families but these children are commendable only so much of an orphanage can do to solve the problem of adoption here and it cost them and not only adopted four children from orphanage number one but also sits on an adoptive parents committee yes the bill can you but i think the problem is the social attitudes towards the children it's not a case of money where an average family all the steve's point 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 her doctor and never did then 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 more

tenderness more love i'm happy. for the last. 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. care region. nearly half past ten pm here in the russian capital that stop us six g.m.t. i'll be back with a recap of our top stories in just a few months. for

the. we've got it from the biggest issues get a human voice face to face with the news makers. most of them. on some mumble masi. some rocks. among some of the decision seek. comfort. some.
