cost of rebuilding the country's economy former vice president and examined under saddam one five year term with the fall of the bugs between two rivals to me it's. a very warm welcome for all of us here in moscow this is all see with me here thanks for joining us fierce fighting is continuing in libya as rebels keep up the search from on that gadhafi nato coalition forces have launched an attack on a last remaining stronghold set to pave the way for a full scale ground offensive by the rebels that word however about conduct a stockpile of weapons including mustard gas which they fear the kind o. could decide to use if he's cornered in the wild borders up hiding out with numerous reports of atrocities on the sides while the transitional council struggles to bring stability to the devastated campus so with fighting in tripoli and knowledge of the residents now face to be
10:02 pm
a fuel and food shortages with little electricity or running water in the city of two million people. live there and brings us this report on the humanitarian side of the conflict. the hell the bible of the khadafi regime is now in new libya nobody's seen people nobody cared about this. the capital tripoli is. 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 of. this is only for dirty things now only for doing things these five thousand has continued since rubble. forces and a tripoli during the week and much of the city bears the scars
10:03 pm
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 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 but i can't obviously just like everybody to show this solidarity with their leader says the memo said and to keep the marchers what was celebrated is another kind
10:04 pm
but with the come still at large these back is not yet over there is no show. tripoli. and christopher blog on the region told us here that if the need then 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 in 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
10:05 pm
a. major goal so far there are a lot of risks for obama. allies already eyeing up new business to oil reserves countries a whack to get that to break down his who are now racing against each other to succeed and that's a contract and as i thought before with so that is a new regime in the bag that is in the side and. 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 case could definitely libya is the money that's been talking the loudest governments have a strong interest in opening up new. opening up business for. everybody. it's lead foreign minister has denied that there's
10:06 pm
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 get daffy 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 as well of wealth and how much of it was actually . could be categorized as libyan assets because as the family were often accused of using libya's riches as their own personal pocket money now there are concerns
10:07 pm
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. everybody could have oil gas and infrastructure projects to follow as the war torn country rebuilds everyone it seems. well it's a slice of the action a war is now what is indispensable for western economies western industries. you're 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 sites like it or not the many western countries a place for libya i mean big business there for the land and. peace activist who was only there earlier this month says france is already be
10:08 pm
saying to me in the race for oil to. push by nato and by qatar and saudi arabia they need to do a lot of crimes and they say the nato is not long enough friend a stand her under the new young so you are seeing this war that are already conquered arctura with. four to twenty eight billion dollars you tell you is only going to work for all wrong point five billion dollars the because maybe didn't do it so much as saw a race economies are making the wars and the greed is making it worse. let's move on now the fallout from the mass riots in england has purse 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. it finds out how the country he fought for became the one he's fighting. british prisons are full to bursting the courts are working
10:09 pm

10:10 pm
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 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 and attempt to gag an elderly gentleman may not always be right but he has a right to be here long. scott he has friends with knowledge of the will and they're acting for him normally the porters employ his case to the boiled court of justice but they don't feel justice is being served to heaven meanwhile claim to being denied essential medication in prison according to reports conditions in
10:11 pm
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 its troops are going on every day in every poll released on musically charged. 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 emmet london. this is the program we take a trip with russia close off t.v. we travel thousand kilometers from moscow to the city of cairo and the remarkable story of ninety percent of baby orphans that find a new family before they turn six that's late. now reports of the deaths coming from north carolina and virginia as hurricane irene lashes coastal
10:12 pm
cities in the two states with one hundred eighty five kilometer per hour winds u.s. authorities say six people including and eleven year old boy have been killed so far by falling trees and enormous gusts this storm has toppled pollin lines and almost one million people are now without electricity irene is heading for new york with things expected in parts of lower manhattan this is public transport service including the subway has been shut down and residents would have to leave some coastal and low lying areas oh she's marine important as more of the group stores. public transportation in new york city including the metro and buses have come to a halt 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 mayor ordered
10:13 pm
mandatory evacuation of what he called 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 wait for. their building. you are pushed everything up when they grew. up when you were they were put to us doing. this where we're. going this is the only real one they really had a major evacuation for so. you know something that we don't know
10:14 pm
now up until this point new yorkers weren't really taking these warnings in 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 up on 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 and 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
10:15 pm
will be of new york come monday. we're closely following developments in the u.s. on our website as they was hurricane in a generation new york approaches and right. images from the united states so low going to home to witness the rapidly deteriorating weather on the american eastern seaboard. life pictures for you that's. a cause it turns over a new political chops of what the former vice president elected as the country's new leader that examined succeeds president sergei but god should died in office in may the big to again nearly fifty five percent of the vote ahead of two all the candidates according to the chairman of the election commission the turnout was the highest in the post also used on boston reports now about the challenges the new president faces. former vice president alexander un vibe is now the president of the caucasus republic of cars here the central election commission announced
10:16 pm
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 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 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
10:17 pm
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. and more world news in brief for you right now one of the writers told reuters has been killed in pakistan's tribal region of was according to american officials. it was reported this second on the list of america's five most wanted militants in the region it was believed to be a close confidant of a summer bin ladin who was killed in pakistan by american special forces in may. joined bin laden in afghanistan as a teenager in the eighty's and was well known as an explosives expert. to more protesters have been killed by syrian security forces with activists say there's been sporadic shooting troops concentrated in damascus suburbs into other cities state media said being to or ministry has warned citizens not to take part in

10:19 pm
and this time we're all one thousand kilometers from moscow to visit the camera for age and it's a place full of community spirit where family bonds are strong so much so that ninety eight percent of all orphans and care of find a family before they turn six. has been finding out the reason for this remarkably high that. being a personal tragedy added difficulty to overcome being an orphan there's also a social problem and russia there are thousands of thousands of orphans but the fact most of them have parents all 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 while the 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 there's
10:20 pm
a vigil 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 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 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 they are six times the chela so many orphanages exist by themselves in isolation we are reaching out to the potential parents and the authorities and working with them in the first course of the next. has to try and place the children back with their biological parents who often give them up scared
10:21 pm
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 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 of the government 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 but 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 if the orphanage is 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 that an orphanage can do to solve the problem of adoption
10:22 pm
that cost them and not only adopted four children from orphanage number one but also sits on an adoptive parents committee yes can you be 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 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 secure group when you're in the home you were always just a part of the group but here in the family united by someone there is no tenderness i'm happy. for the asking. so often to just make an effort to connect with the world outside an adoption becomes more widespread in society they'll be more happy endings like this one. i'm suddenly here with you know like a picked on over who's a citizen of here all the hopefully should provide us with
10:23 pm
a mobile fossils 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 for your own observations is this the case is a becoming more popular and yeah i think that this if you shoot the doctor who has changed recently been developing countries you hear regions and there are more and more parents and people who want to take babies from children's films because either they have the health problems all the wrong to somebody to hear a ball or maybe some of them want a little three months from the government just to prove. i know that people who are wrong all hinges there are very prospective people and they. have a good future they have good jobs and professions so they did their best to achieve
10:24 pm
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 the world but i can see that the situation is changing with this point too because the people are quite all around and even in our region i'm on. my. polizzi they acquired we the children from whole foods was thank you very much i'll be speaking to you have a cup with all of us who lives there and care of what she's been talking to us about the. authorities in colombia have given in to the demands of hundreds of women after they went on a sex strike that this month they spend eight days spurning their husbands advances until a mountain highway which connects their remote community to the wider world was resurfaced this week lori haas honest also known as the president is asking people in new york what they will be willing to abstain.
10:25 pm
in the strike of crossed legs colombian women with help facts to get a road paved what issue would you withhold sex for this week let's talk about that right now the economy we need to do. so. we'll get better gas. that also i think it says he says to be to still make six we've been friends maybe for world peace or to end hunger or something like that nothing nothing no i don't think so. the deficit. in congress is that it's so if american women stop having sex do you think it would change things here we would have solved the deficit crisis very quickly going to do it was going to do and if the only way to get their men motivated i can understand it or get me on the show pretty quickly is there any thing that you would withhold sex
10:26 pm
for are you kidding no i think it's 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 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. and that's all we've got fees so file her back with the headlines in just a few moments.
