elected president faces the top tosk of rebuilding the country's economy former vice president alexander unclog a five year term without a doubt the bard's beaten by. a very warm welcome for all of us here in moscow this is us he was me thanks for joining us fierce fighting is continuing in the baz rebels keep up that such from long that gadhafi nato coalition forces have launched an attack on to his legs the last remaining stronghold set to pave the way for a full scale ground offensive by the rebels their word however about gadhafi has stockpiled the weapons including mustard gas which they fear the colonel could decide to use if he's cornered meanwhile bodies are piling out with numerous reports of atrocities on the sides while the transitional council struggles to bring stability to the devastated compas so with fighting in tripoli and launch of

a residence now face severe fuel and food shortages with little electricity or running water in the city of two million people also has maria finish resin leave there and brings us this report on the humanitarian side of the conflict. there battling. the heavy bible of the khadafi regime is now. in new libya nobody's seen people nobody cared about this people of. the capital tripoli. people may not know for sure what the future will bring but they know that the past will never return and. everything that might remind people of all decades of dictatorship is of. this is only for dirty things now only for doing things through. is fighting has continued

since rebel forces ended tripoli during the week and much of the city bears the scars of 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 starfleet 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. in the basement proudly shows as a trophy one while he took part in the overrunning of conduct his residence double as a zia 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 gadhafi is had was great the way i can't obviously just like other men to show their solidarity with their leader says the rebel side and to keep a largish what was celebrated as oh another kind that's

become still at large this bible is not yet over your emotional. tripoli. by christopher kayleigh a blog on the region told r.t. that if the libyan rebels fail to restore peace it could be very embarrassing for one of their main supporters the u.s. president. clearly there will still be gadhafi loyalists after the country is under control of the t.n.c. what matters is if the t.n.c. is able to provide the sort of security and police required to prevent any sort of insurgency in the coming months obviously by committing the us this far into the conflict in libya this is become president obama's war this is something that he cannot afford to lose. likewise if libya is to fall into chaos into an insurgency of some sort after the fall of gadhafi this would reflect poorly

on obama so while i don't believe that he has made a. major goal so far there are a lot of risks for obama. you know our nato allies are already eyeing out the bears vast oil reserves countries who work together to break down his rule and of racing against each other to secure lucrative energy contracts and as aussies south thoughts ripples it's like to think is a new regime in the bag could easily slide into corruption. half a billion dollars from italy now a whopping one point five billion from the u.n. all that until three hundred million dollars from turkey is discussions of bound about the future of the paste daffy libya is the money that's been talking the loudest governments have a strong interest in opening up new found. opening up business for. everybody is reason for its lead foreign minister has denied 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 and they conduct the 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 gadhafi 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 emanation of gadhafi as well of 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 ate 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 believe could have oil 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 western interest to leave. you destroying your ability to read your review it's like a vicious circle it's not just italy that have been trying to keep the national transitional council on side like it or not in many western countries a place for libya i mean big business there for the land and marinello correct any of us who was

a leader earlier this month says france has already been saying it's only in the race for oil. by nato and by qatar and saudi arabia they committed a lot of crimes and they say that nato is not long enough friend stand her under the new young so you are seeing this war but her as already counted on her with a. sort of twenty eight billion dollars you tell years only going to work for all round point five billion dollars the vehicles maybe didn't do so much as saw or race economies are making the wars and of the greed is making it worse. moving on now they fall out from the mass riots in england prison populations there to record high but british officials still found space to join the world war two veteran locked up for recording a court hearing he's a lawyer and it turns out how the country who fought for became the one who's

fighting. 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 leeds prison they'll 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 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 she's a recovering the corruption of the judiciary you see them frown upon a 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 gag 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 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 for scott he has friends with knowledge of the law and they're acting for him you know but the porter the floor his case head to the boil court of justice but they don't feel justice is being served to heaven meanwhile the plaintiffs being denied essential medication in prison according to reports

conditions in leeds prison are bad 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 jail as he strolled through doors on every day and every fall asleep in the musical chairs. 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 emmett london. this is. the program we take a trip without russia close up from. where we travel at thousand kilometers from moscow to the city here of a remarkable story of ninety eight percent of baby lisa is that finding family before they turn six. reports of the first

funding obama did cut his vacation short and headed back to the white house on friday he said that this is a historic storm and everyone and it's past should prepare for the worst some engineers believe that the infrastructure of new york city because it is so old may not be able to withstand the power of the wind that there may be flooding in tunnels of new york city some airports may be flooded homes possibly even flooded and we're just roy 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. and you can watch the latest pictures from there is hit by the hurricane and also don't call it can also find other stories that sort of go for you right now that twenty six year old model has been severely injured by

a shark of russia's far east just days after swimming was invented once again in their area following the recent shark times. standing the test of time novel it heartens from the time of these are the great still wanting to demi's scenes because bad driving by is unique underground system down the sequence. the pentagon's issued a report warning that china is on track to becoming a leading military power by twenty twenty but beijing has called the documents 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 has made a record number of space no inches however beijing says if the normal procession of its technology is not targeting any supposed enemy and expert in asia military affairs correspondent says the u.s. has nothing its own interests in making a fuss around china. there's

a lot of hype going on right now in the united states and some of their views because they want to raise the chinese up so there are 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 are sure digging in their heels and shoulders trowing up this kind of chinese bugaboo aircraft carriers this missile which can sink your craft here it's not even majestic keep in mind they have one aircraft carrier which is one half the chargers of american aircraft carriers they're not going to millikan's have an nimitz class aircraft carrier so even if they build one or two or even three more and craft carriers they are nowhere near the level they would need to challenge the united states. as it turns over a new political chapter with the former vice-president elected as the country's new

leader and xander succeeds president died in office in may the victor gained nearly fifty five percent of the vote ahead of two other candidates according to the chairman of the election commission the turnout was the highest in the. reports and he reports about the challenges the new president faces actually. former vice president alexander is now the president of the caucasus republic of cars here in 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 president surrogate on the twenty ninth of may he died suddenly leaving the power vacuum in his place there 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 recognized the

independence of abkhazia after a war away to the east in south the city and fears that the georgia may attack. 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. let's not check some other news making headlines around the world one of all kind of operation has been killed in pakistan's tribal region of a serious time according to american officials. the model is reportedly the second on the list of america's five most wanted militants in the region it was believed

to be a close confident osama bin laden who was killed in pakistan by american special forces in may. join bin laden in afghanistan as a teenager in the eighty's and was well known as an explosives expert. that being found in two gammon and all risking death to get that according to the yuan's refugee agency almost a hundred thousand somalis are in the country some crossing the gulf of aden one of a crowd of the don't figure out what they want to treat which many others don't survive according to the u.n. h c r twelve million people from somalia kenya djibouti and if you are interested in east africa's was drought in six decades he wants to as there's been an adequate international humanitarian response to the just tossed. in down on to corruption activist omar has daria has agreed to at least twelve day hunger strike off to the country's parliament is on to groff dumond's tens of thousands of people

many wearing the seventy four year old's trademark white cop have been protesting to support his call for new and to corruption they're just calling him a new mahatma gandhi a string of high profile corruption scandals one which may cost the government thirty nine billion dollars spock's the protests a new public corruption watchdog has to be subtle but it's likely to take some time . right now we continue to explore russia and the latest in our close up series looking at life because the biggest country in. this time were of one thousand kilometer. from moscow to visit the care of region is the place full of community spirit where family bonds are strong so much so that ninety eight percent of all orphans and carrot find a family before they turn six. has been finding out the reason for this remarkably

high figure. apart to be a personal tragedy and a difficulty to overcome being an orphan there's also a social problem in 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 want to look after them or cannot be trusted 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 and how can they be tackled so it's not necessarily something that either an individual orphanage or. part of russia can provide but then the same in the care of region to try 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 a new home and that's what i tried to do as you can see my report. 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 cairo's all finish 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 before their six. or so many orphanages exist by themselves in isolation we are reaching out to the potential parents and the authorities 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 that often it shows that with the right care these children can lead normal lives that parents have to pay. the 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 it doesn't matter how good the facilities are here or what care

the children receive we are all of the staff here still no than an orphanage is no substitute for a family a quick straw poll shows as much moved here but i don't think 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 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 cost them and not only adopted four children from orphanage number one but also sits on an adoptive parents committee yes. i think the problem is the social attitudes towards the 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 a fuse fourteen says she was betrayed by her parents and those who promised

a doctor and never did then she finally found a secure group when you're in the home you were always just a part of the group but here in the family you needed by someone there is no tenderness i'm happy. with the asking. so often to just make an effort to connect with the world outside and adoption becomes more widespread in society they'll be more happy endings like this one. i'm studying here with you no make up at all over who's a citizen of the hopefully should provide us with the normal person's perspective on adoption now all these officials are telling us that the situation with adoption is improving more and more children are finding new parents now from your own observations is this the case is a becoming more popular yeah i think that this if you shoot the adults who have changed recently in the coal country here. and there are more and more.

people who want to take babies from children's films because either they have health problems all the wrong to somebody here a ball or maybe some of their. little playmates from the government tells them to rule this city i know there are people who are wrong all hinges their very perspective people and they. have a good future they have good jobs and professions so they did their best to achieve the same scene their life what do you think there is still some discrimination they think when people say this person is an orphan you know it changes their opinion about this person i think it happens in our world but i can see that the situation is changing with these points too because the people are quite all around to live in our region and want. my whole lives they have white.

children from awful jews thank you very much i'll be speaking to the thought of a few lives here in clear of that you've been talking to us about the. well sources in colombia have given in to the demands of hundreds of women after they went on a sex strike this month they spend thirty eight days spawning their husband's advances until a mountain highway which connects the remote community to the wider world was resurfaced this week laurie hoffman it's also known as the resident disaster people in new york what they would be willing to abstain. in the strike of crossed legs colombian women with help facts to get a road paved what is she would you withhold sex for this week let's talk about that right now the economy we need to do something about that so. we'll get better gas law high that also i think he says he says to be to still make sex we

were in france maybe for world peace or to end hunger or something like that nothing nothing no i don't think so. the deficit. in congress has that is so if american women stopped having sex do you think it would change things here we would have solved the deficit crisis very quickly what was going to do it was going to do and if this the only way to get their money motivated i can understand it or get me on the show pretty quickly is there any thing that you would withhold sex for are you kidding no i think it's an effective tactic. it certainly works there yes 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 men without socks to get something done no i mean if it weren't sure i think it's a little crazy but i mean hey you got to 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 they got the job done with no violence needed. and that's how we go for you so thought about what the headlines in just a few. wealthy

british style most of us moved on to the title. and some of the. markets why not. find out what's really happening to the global economy in these kinds of reports. is easy to. see.

the big. hello again this is a house here a check of the headlines that. they've been fed holds out ready to storm gadhafi is home town under a nato air show desperate at the front of the features a panel of european governments start their own fight for oil deals in the country . a british world war two veteran has been leading a campaign to expose what he says is corruption his country's judicial system has been jailed for six months he's being accused of breaking into new recordings appearing strictly forbidden in english clubs but claims the judiciary is just trying to silence him. also came as claimed its first six dead it's to be a win spot to the cause of north carolina and virginia.
