of atrocities on bad sides while the transitional council struggles to bring stability to the devastated capital with fighting in tripoli a large fear of residents now face severe fuel and food shortages with him. electricity or running water and the city have two million people out is near enough an ocean that is a need that brings us this report on the thermometer a side of the conflict was the. the hell the bible of the khadafi regime is not heretical believe in new libya nobody's seen the people nobody cares about this believe what you. the capital tripoli is used for ear to ear 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

a throne was this is only for dirty things no only for doing the things he's 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 were found in a hospital abandoned by stoffel in the arrival of rebel forces with no one clear control and many residents now live in fear of anarchy and of armed men from both sides of the conflict. the placement proudly shows as a trophy one while he took part in the overrunning of conduct his residence doubled as a zia when we entered resole many weapons and. there's no gadhafi anymore the that the man says he would love to have another prize could offer his had was great and obviously was the government to show this is something to do with them these

are the battles that i'm just keeping it was just what. it was and other kinds that's why they can still apply. which these battle is not yet over. cheaply. christopher longo in the region told r.t. that using the then rebels fail to restore peace it could be very embarrassing for one of them main supporter as the us president. clearly there will still be a few 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 we've seen required to prevent any sort of uncertainty in the coming months obviously by committing the u.s. this far into the conflict in libya and this is becoming president obama's war this is something that he cannot afford to lose. likewise if libya is to pour interest.

into an insurgency of some sort after the fall of gadhafi this would reflect poorly on obama so while i don't believe he has made it he is major goals so far and there are a lot of risks for all go not. nato allies are already eyeing out the biz vast oil reserves country so work together to break down his rule one out of race against each other to secure lucrative and that's in conference. report has led to is a new regime in the ground and easily slide into corruption. half a billion dollars from insulation now a walk in one point five billion from the u.n. that antipathy three hundred million dollars from turkey is questions abound about the future of the place exactly libya is the money that's been talking the loudest governments have a strong interest in helping out you know. opening up business for.

everybody is reason for its needs 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 to clear their eagerness to maintain the extremely case trade ties they enjoyed and they get back the regime but as the money begins to flow to help the national transitional council if it takes power i think question mark or main saver exactly he is fast funds belong to indeed gadhafi is states which is coming to america the borderline between the wealth the private wealth for the good of his 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 the darkest wealth of wealth and how much of it was actually . could be categorized as libyan assets to get out the family were often accused

of using libya's riches as their own personal pocket money now there are concerns that they are freezing of libyan assets without effective monitoring his aid and the floodgates to new corruption is now a lot of opportunity everybody is trying to. you know it's sort of. the trying to exploit this war as the best of it everybody police have oil gas and infrastructure projects to follow as the water on country rebuilds their. everyone it seems wants a slice of the action a war is now what is indispensable for western economies western interests to leave . you destroying your view of history it's like a vicious circle it's not just italy that has been trying to keep the national transitional council on like it or not and many western countries or libya i mean big business. he called peace

activist who was only there this month says france has a really decent say in the race for oil deals. by door and breakout and saudi arabia they committed a lot of crimes and they say you need is not going being enough strength but. under the new young you are in this war but as already cannot. for twenty eight billion dollars you tell you is only going to work for a one point five billion dollars because maybe he didn't do it so much as economies making the wars and the greed is making it worse. moving on now the fallout from the united riots in england has cost prison populations there to record high but british officials still found space to jail a world war two veteran locked up for recording

a court hearing he's lorena finds out how the country he foresaw 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 he was because she is uncovering the corruption that the judiciary see them frown upon a scar is no stranger to the legal system he won

a case in the european court of human rights banning 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 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 having theory in this country called freedom of expression much as 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 old lee gentleman who may not always be right but he has a right to. luckily fisk. he has friends with knowledge of the law and they're acting for him norman staff supported them for his case here to the royal courts of justice but they don't feel justice is being served to have been wild card playing

in being denied it then chill 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 jailers religion royal everybody and everything all the islam is equal educational. 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 r.t. london. this is a. program we'll take a trip with our russian close up team so we travel a thousand kilometers from moscow to the city of heroes and the remarkable story of how ninety eight percent of the finds in the family forty six.

reports of the first deaths are coming from north carolina and virginia as hurricane irene launches coastal cities in the two states with a hundred and eighty five kilometer per hour winds u.s. authorities say six people including the levon year old boy have been killed so far by falling trees after enormous gusts these storm has toppled polis and almost one million people are now without a victory since and irene is heading to new york were not exhibited in parts of lower manhattan this it is public transport service including the subway has been charged and residents ordered to leave some close to unload line areas. public transportation in new york city including the metro and buses have come to a halt as new york city prepares for a busy 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 mayor ordered i had a mandatory evacuation of what he called the low rise areas these are areas all throughout new york that are very close to the water and it is estimated that more than two hundred thousand new yorkers will have to evacuate their homes and go to shelters close to seventy shelters have been set up in new york city in preparation for this hurricane hurricane i read it's also been recommended to anyone that lives above the tenth floor to a vacuum leak from there bill. we do appreciate everything that you grew. up when you were. just doing. this where.

this is the only real one to really have a major regulation for so here's to you know something though we don't know up until this point new yorkers weren't really taking these warnings and these forecasts seriously because the last time this city experienced our hurricane a 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 stock up on good stock and food stock up on water and remove any kind of furniture from their patios 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 that 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. and you can watch the latest pictures from the areas hit by the hurricane i don't see oklahoma where you can also find other stories here lined up for me right now the. twenty six year old that's the injured by a shark in russia's far east just days after swimming was once again in the area of town and recent times. and standing the test of time novelist fountains from the time of these of the greys to black ink today st petersburg driven by unique underground system finds out to see. ati dot com. a bunch of them has a should a report of warning that china is on track to becoming a leading military power by twenty twenty but beijing has called the document distorted its claims the country is expanding military capabilities could

potentially destabilize the balance of nature and over the past year china has developed a new stealth fighter an aircraft carrier are has made a record number of space no inches however beijing says as the normal progression of its technology and it's not targeting any supposed enemy and athanase in military affairs. and says the u.s. is nothing it's our interest in making a fuss around china. a hike going on right now in the united states and some of that is because 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 assured getting in their heels and shoulders trowing up this kind of chinese bugaboo aircraft carriers this missile which can security after it's not even been tested keep in mind they have a lawyer craft carrier which is one half the size of american aircraft carriers in

the millikan's have chand 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. i've heard their terms of a new political charts over the former vice president elected as the country's new leader alexander succeeds president so give a guy actually died in office and now the vix again nearly fifty five percent of the via head of the other candidates according to the chairman of the election commission turnout was the highest in the post saw the zinger tom barton reports now challenges the new president. former vice president alexander on vibe is now the president of the caucasus republic because 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 which 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 and club primarily building up cars years 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 and south a sense here and fears that the ga may attack cars here as well but 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 fruit 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. more world news for you in brief right now one of the candidates talking for ages has been killed in pakistan's tribal region of the list on according to american officials shia abdel rahman was reportedly on the list of america's five most wanted militants in the region it was believed to be a close confidant of asama bin laden who was killed in pakistan by american special forces in may opt to join a bin laden in afghanistan as a teenager in the eighty's and was well known as an explosives expert. all somalis are fleeing from and to yemen and are risking death to get that called into the un's refugee agency almost two hundred thousand somalis are in the country some crossing of the gulf of aden one of the crowded or unseemly boats on a trip which many others don't survive according to the u n h c r twelve million

people from somalia kenya djibouti under our trees going east africa's was drug at six decades the u.s. has been noted for its international humanitarian response to the disaster. to two people murdered in a casino tons by gangsters are being buried in the mexican city of motorway bastien to the casino royale and friday doused it with liquid and started a fire that trapped people inside officials suspect organized crime was behind that time one of the deficit since two thousand and six during an ongoing government fund to be withdrawn stands mexican president felipe calderon has displayed three days of mourning on friday with addictions of the farmer. will continue to explore russia and then they just now close up series looking at life because the biggest country in the.

and this time around one thousand kilometers from moscow to visit the killer for region it's a place full of community spirit where family bonds are strong so much so that ninety eight percent of all things and care of find a family before they turn six. as they're finding out the reason for this remarkably high i think that. apart from being 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 in fact most of them have either parents all relatives outside of it all for that but these people simply do not want to look after them all come of the traffic to do so so this is something that needs to be solved on a social level while the general social problems of course these children to be taken away and how can they be tackled so it's not necessarily something that either an individual orphanage or lived a vigil part of russia can provide but then the same in the care of bridging that

try they're saying ok we are being dealt with all these orphans really it 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 to find a new family for healthy olson's it's even harder for children like these all of them diagnosed with serious physical and mental all psychological disabilities. but here at kira's definition of the world they manage it well in russia there are currently hundred and fifty thousand children who haven't been adopted here ninety eight percent of all orphans find a new family before the six times michel or so many orphanages exist by themselves in isolation where reaching out to the potential parents and the authorities and working with them is the first course of a. action is to try and place the children back with parents who often give them up

scared off the diagnoses often and show 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. there's a crowd but 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 that an orphanage is no substitute for a family a quick straw poll shows as much as you have here. 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. of five new families but these children are commendable but under the only so much of an orphanage can do to solve the problem of adoption it costs them

not only the four children from orphanage number one but also sits on an adoptive parents committee. i think the problem is the social attitudes towards the children it's not a case of money where an average family all the state support is really there you just have to love the children themselves a lot of who's fourteen says she was betrayed by her parents and those who promised the doctor 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 not tenderness more love i'm happy. with the asking. so orphanages make an effort to connect with the world outside and adoption becomes more widespread and society will be more happy endings like this one. here. you know like the football over who is a citizen of here all the hopefully should provide us with

a little false perspective. all these officials are telling us that the situation with adoption is improving more and more children are finding new parents now for your own observations is this the case is it becoming more popular yeah i think that this if you should we adults have chance to sleep in the cold country and even here regions there are more and more parents who want to see the babies from children's films because either the parent with health problems all the long to come back here or bolts maybe some of them won't leave till three months from the government chosen to rule if you know there are people who are wrong the whole pages they're very prospective people. have a good future they have a good job search professions so they did their best to keep their name seen the life but do you think there's still some discrimination between what people say

this person is and often you know it changes their opinion about this person i think it happens in the world but i can see that the situation is changing with these points too because the people are quite tolerant and even in our region among the my whole lives they have why we have the children from all foodies thank you very much i'll be speaking to them because all of us who lives there and hear all of what you've been talking to us about the. sources in colombia have given in to the demands of hundreds of women after they went on a sex strike and had this month they spend eighty. six days spending their husband's advances and you know a mountain highway which connects their remote community to the wider world was resurfaced this week nor hoffmann's kelso known as the resident is asking people in new york how they would willing to abstain from.

the strike across legs colombian women with health backs 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 sort of out there so. that will get better gas. that also i think he says he says to people to still make six 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 was that so if american women stopped having facts do you think it would change things here we wouldn't solve the deficit crisis very quickly what was going to do it was going to do and if that's the only way to get their man motivated i can understand it would get me on the show pretty quick 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 sides 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 got it if it's 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 it got the job done with no violence needed. that's always goofy's so far off the mark with the headlines in just a few. most

of the kumasi mumble mohsni. mopsa mom last. month some of the deficiencies. must come from. us mom maneuverability most mediation she said to the marks moscow's most famous here show on technology some patients cheer.
