bands here in february people from these tribes have been fighting against the rebels all across libya volunteers from this area have been dying for gadhafi. things bragger and in other cities they've been all the time ardently supporting the colonel who's provided them with the past weaponry in the past and actually conducted himself as well as his sons have all the time and thought to hide in that area and that's why many here on the ground are saying that if the rubbles managed to take the stronghold that was officially means the end of the colonel and the regimes for the national transitional council have recently repeatedly been claiming the police safety police now security but the rebels there is coming here from been guises soon but so far we haven't seen is sign of them here in live in capitals the situation here is very complicated the streets are literally all the armed rebel fighters with. clear agenda and the interior minister has recently

claimed that the national transitional council will soon try to bring these people under their control but as we can see here they're not quite successful so far. very financial reporting there two weeks since the libyan capital fell the interim government's already being criticized by its own allies a key rebel military commanders calling on the leaders of the national transitional council to resign for being extra loyalists political satirist ted rall says a new civil war seems inevitable. some sympathy for else a lobby and his call to get rid of all these former regime figures it's not much of a revolution if you have former officials from the exit from the government this is just and. certainly you will see any kind of division like that uses in a scenario where revolution is not fully realized and that seems to be the situation in libya any kind of revolutionary movement is an alliance of convenience

but in the end you end up with what the shah masood in afghanistan once said in the one nine hundred eighty s. in the war against the soviets first we kill the russians next to each kill each other in libya they go to deal with it quickly killed because the regime and now they're going to kill each other. russia says the un should immediately called all sides in the syrian conflict to stop violence and start talking russia's foreign minister says president bashar assad has already implemented reforms aimed at solving the conflict and sergei lavrov also admitted not all theory and opposition members wants to gave in talks with the government lover cautioned against encouraging protesters to stay away from negotiations last week the e.u. imposed an oil embargo against syria and warned a further steps if a five month crackdown didn't stop but as we did a little record sanctions are more likely to affect the syrian people than the authorities. the dealer is a master barber the small his shop was flourishing until it all ended in the snip.

a certain immunity against these sanctions. and this is not just government gloss in the face of impose adversity syrian opposition figures are also unconvinced but for a different reason. government have chosen and no matter what measures are taken against them will continue down that road so you are sold as a precise weapon to hit the regime where it hurts but syrian evillest say there are two planted to war and it's the people who will suffer the most when you are talking about the oil it's the. people. who are thinking while the power dealers of the west in syria trade insults and blows for syrian workers like the ones you know the daily battle is to keep his modest livelihood together while hoping for the best. business will pick up again.

a new contract when you gas prices between ukraine and russia in stockholm at the same time we've heard a very sharp response from the kremlin. the press office of. russia's president even if they did that russia is ready for any legal action should ukraine decide to take such measures the essence of this new conflict is that ukraine is not happy with the price it is paying four thousand cubic meters of russian gas kremlin waits for some commercial offer to provide such discounts such as for instance a merger between the ukrainian gas monopolists natural gas and the russian gas giant gazprom many people warry in europe that there will be another conflict another disruption of supplies into the european continent as we saw in two thousand and nine course the situation now is pretty much different to what happened more than two years back because russia right now is not so strongly dependent on the ukrainian gas transportation system as it was back in two thousand
