the past will never return. because. everything that might remind people of all decades of dictatorship is being overthrown was this is only for dirty things no only for dirty things fierce fighting has continued since rebel forces and to tripoli during the week and much of the city baz this cause a war on top of months of relentless bombing by nato new evidence of the bloodshed emerged when hundreds of bodies of a fallen 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. this 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 gadhafi anymore the but the man says he would love to have another prize khadafi has had was great and obvious just like other men to shoulder such it with their leader says the mother of all said and that she was as well. celebrated as oh another kind but with the candle still at large this battle is not yet over there is no shots in tripoli. peace activist 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 locals as you've seen. it is a very dead according to my friend so who are there i could not go see.

you who are you know they're very reluctant to share and transfer mom to my good and they are very much of. any danger because of the. actions of. the past month and manhunter their luck or like all the everything. really situation which reminds me in two thousand and three there. you are saying now we're hearing of reports of hundreds of bodies being found around happily 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 greed were against the need to war and talk to the rebels where very much pushed by you need talks so they are not so. they don't agree with this result

and the situation room and. also. for a lot of the families who. are displaced the from the east or believe because they were not so we don't have theirs and they were threatened by their other source of the they were people when i met them and now i don't know about so adept situation so there will be a lot of collateral damages of this war we already saw many many civilian victims and now we go on. record on my good and or song. yeah speaking about when this is over when it can move forward do you think the libyans can trust their future into the hands of the rebel national transitional council. you see we can think of the

past demand so the court of the concept and human rights need rebels pushed by nato and by qatar and saudi arabia nay he committed a lot of crimes and this is also also international organizations concerned that. they sure this is not a sure death they wanted more bomb so because even now yeah i knew some people who were supporting data from the undercounted use and they say the nato is not bonding enough and they really didn't care about civilian victims or social you know if you think of who they are a. coalition of some of sort of matters cia protected the. qaeda members or anyway islamic groups and the foreign matter. many steps are doing the worst wants by the way. and if you think also of

what's happened in kosovo we do. caution of only variation army and what happened in afghanistan or when there were or 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 you know old saw worked after and with the new rulers or iraq i am not optimistic and i think many many events or so if not you make the list could i just want to clarify what you're saying are you saying that the from those that you've been talking to nato is pushing 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 yes libya as a six million. people are placid in my good answer some people of course are happy

but not in the majority. in my opinion and it was the same you know i mean the media are broadcasting it some. images which. they're ones like. not to trust and anyway democracy is not dead and i wonder if there. there is going to be a democracy because the. rebel a council has not been elected by any body. ok let's talk about the my aggressive that brought them up what about them as well as the you gadhafi loyalists what kind of life is in store for them both the migrants and the loyalists you know as you tell you supported very much of this war now i expect it for my from my my from the got government and those who are for me tell young people to accept as

a. migrant that coming from the libya angers or libyans who cannot stay down anymore because a day at a target. on the future who are so bad and i am there i measure a dead heat between not left and right like this so these people are dealing then john i am doing what he does of them and we already saw a lot of stories of. and massacres of the summer people who were not authority. nationalists and even they were not fighting they were just into the party and they read a thing that they went against to do swore and then they were killed there are a lot of it in me about that. the same user for the. loyalists. who escaped from eastern the need many hundred not. tens of thousands of families. i wonder what happened don't we latin.

all right certainly the question that they are there thank you very much and what. i want to do and how i did it was because of the results of this war if you go read you very very much dear friend a stand under then she the new young so you are seeing this war. has already gone dark so with the. sort of twenty eight billion dollars you tell you is only going to work for a one point five billion dollars but because maybe didn't do it so much as economies are making the wars and the greed is making wars ok well we'll end it there thank you very much again and i never could out of peace activists talking to us from italy thank you. and 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 work together to break a rule are now racing against each other to secure lucrative energy contracts and authorities are further reports it's led to fear as 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 un all that until three hundred million dollars from turkey is discussions a bound about the future of a case could daffy libya is the money that's been talking the loudest governments have a strong interest in. the old. opening up business for. everybody it's 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 in the states which is coming to an end the borderline between wealth the problem well for the gadhafi 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 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 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 everybody lucrative oil gas and infrastructure projects to follow as the war torn country rebuilds ever . we won it seems wants a slice of the action a war is now what is indispensable for the western economy we're serving to. you destroy your appeal to destroy everything you reveal it's like. 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 will mean big business there for the land. 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 public transport has been a shutdown. now

accept that it was a very harsh sentence and i believe it was because she's a recovering the corruption of the judiciary she doesn't frown upon a scar is no stranger to the legal system he won a case in the european court of human rights 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 gag those who disagree with them that. why m.p. john hemming suspects the judge was trying to shut him up we having theory in this country something called freedom of expression not just 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 be here luckily he has friends with knowledge of the law and they're acting for him nobody supported them for his case here to the boiled court of justice but they don't feel justice is being served to heaven meanwhile claims he's being denied it and 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 experiencing going on every day and every call this law musicologist. 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 artie london a major cities along the eastern seaboard of the u.s.

been blamed on the regional arm of. a prominent indian activist likened to gandhi has agreed to end his twelve day hunger strike which he was enduring in a campaign for anti graft legislation well it comes after the country's parliament expressed knowledge not support for a series of anti corruption proposals that are not supporting however the legislation is likely to take some time to come into force thousands gathered to celebrate the success. the seventy four year old and his role in helping india take a huge step forward towards a historic move. yemen is experiencing a sharp rise in the number of famine hit somali refugees flooding into the country thousands are choosing to cross the gulf of aden and overcrowded boats instead of seeking shelter is neighboring countries can now being the largest host country and also suffering for famine has already received nearly half

a million somalis now the drought has put about twelve million people at risk across can be duty and somalia. now it's a big day for the former georgia republic of qazi which has elected a new leader following the death of its president and may the victor saw off to other candidates to the top seed which will not walk at par for the next five years and. reports there are some big business to be taken care of and the little country . former vice president alexander 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 voter turnout at a high seventy two percent all of this was made necessary by the death of the previous presidents. on the twenty ninth of may he died suddenly leaving power vacuum in his place there because you people are going to expect

a lot from mr primarily building up cars yes ruined infrastructure after a long struggle for independence from georgia three years ago russia recognized the independence of abkhazia after a war away to the east in south aset year and fears that the georgia may attack cause 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 can build up both of those things he'll help this young republic to stand on its own two feet again. although it's time to join our close up team in 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 isn't just known for its folk art and the ray of museums theaters here family comes first and locals try to help all orphaned kids find a home. reports even children with physical mental and psychological disabilities don't feel abandoned. being a personal tragedy added 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 the parents all relatives outside of the orphanage but these people simply do not want to look after them all khaled be trusted to do so so this is

something that needs to be solved on a social level general social problems that force these children to be taken away but how can they be tackled so it's not necessarily something that either an individual or for the job or an individual part of russia can provide but then the same in the care of region by trying 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 find 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 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 or psychological disabilities. but here at the care of all finnish 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 friends find a new family before six and. many orphanages exist by themselves in isolation

we are reaching out to the potential parents and the. with already is and working with them the 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 the orphanage shows 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 bees on the main reasons for their success and that 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 we have here that are young 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 there for the five new families for these children are commendable but under is only so much of an orphanage can do to solve the problem of adoption that cost them and not only adopted four children from orphanage number one but also sits on an adoptive parents committee 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. alona 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 are in the home you are 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. with the last. so more 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 artsy care or 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 moments. for
