one finds them up to survive in the freezing cold. discover the arctic circle on. the investigation into reports of civilian casualties from nato his campaign in libya followed calls save the former rebels the stupid michigan the team is closing the document that's. iraq is threatened by a new wave of sectarian violence as its leaders continue our following the american military's withdrawal from the war torn country. to help a crew of three along the way to the international space station after the soyuz spacecraft long sought for the freedom of baikonur cosmodrome and has a. very

warm welcome to you this is all from moscow russia in may so to look into reports of widespread civilian deaths in libya caused by the minute she alliance is seven month long bombing campaign well the claims filed by rights groups contradict his assertion that twenty six thousand of its airstrikes did not cause any civilian casualties and the killing hasn't ended just because gadhafi is dead and gone for rebels continue to take that supporters of the toppled regime and you may find some of the images an example of this report disturbing. this is what it's like to look down in the face a group of man the young and old captured after the nadir propped over on get off his hometown of sirte there was behind a camera delivers a verdict. for gadhafi. and the captives themselves seem dat certain

about what's coming next. and scenes like these play now with a costly beer as the rebels assisted by western powers to liberate the country from gadhafi arbonne lodgings about he said district tendencies grow more and more outlandish by the day and that seems to justify any sort of treatment for his perceived loyalists in some places the violence is quite bad the town we looked out in was called. and the militias from the neighboring town of misrata are terrorizing the people of to where they accuse them of having fought for qaddafi of having committed atrocities in his name this is one of the liberated tripoli's new landmarks a prison where moammar gadhafi was set to hold his political opponents with no access to lawyers and no chance for a fair trial. but while the

prisons new guards a very elaborate in their rating is fair all cities here in hatred still reside in this neighborhood. obviously is a poor area in southern tripoli where more and more and gadhafi had strong support base prior to his fleeing the district also and as to the tourist prisons a scene of torture and arbitrary killings but while gadhafi is gone the human rights abuses still remain rather from this area are still disappearing without a trace their families are too scared to talk about. this is probably the only place in libya with families of a logic get off to supporters can turn to for how mohammed to form peace and your earlier this year to investigate the fate of those who disappeared in good office prisons he is now primarily dealing with people who went missing under libya's new leadership it's usually mothers who come here and at first they are scared to tell me that this son or husband was with pick a daffy forces they usually say he was

a civilian court in the crossfire but i tell them that i don't care which side he was on all i need is accurate information so that we can start searching. mohammad and his friends have been taking photos of unidentified bodies that have been popping up across lead beer in recent months this naturists are probably the relatives most realistic hope of finding closure but even after sifting through them many managed to retain hope like this man whose brother disappeared on the front lines of banjo. i hope he's in tunisia maybe his in hospital maybe he's lost his memory or has no way of contacting us. they say hope dies last and leave it still alive even if many people aren't. artsy tripoli. now russia's sixth state duma the lower house of parliament has held its first session after recent elections after heated debates over gay marriage for the

ruling united russia party was chosen as the speaker fourteen out of twenty nine committees of the duma are now under opposition control a result of united russia failing to win enough seats to obtain a two thirds constitutional majority and unsanctioned process took place in the duma under around twenty people i rested remain in power for the two weeks ago tens of thousands gathered at moscow's block by a square voicing dissatisfaction with the poll results and calling for the duma elections to be held again. heading to the middle east now iraqi prime minister nuri al maliki has called on the authorities in the autonomous kurdish region to hound the country's vice president who is wanted on terrorism charges to read al hashimi the most senior sunni politician in iraq denies the accusations and claims the premier sheer is simply trying it's a cracked our rivals to tighten his grip on power when it comes just

a day after the last u.s. troops left the country with us that mr john mccain we've been calling already for the return of american forces experts fear tensions between sunnis and shia arab majority appears to be coming to a head but from burning u.s. diplomats over twenty years says that it's a signal that iraqi soldiers are going to solve these problems on their own without foreign involvement. i don't know that the troops presence that itself was a stabilizing factor because we had in fact been drawing down and pulling back into the operating bases for quite some time i think what was significant about the timing is it sent a signal that the iraqis are going to solve these problems their own way possibly with violence but that the united states was no longer in charge in iraq presence of the troops was really a symbol at the end more than any reality i think moloch he certainly could have done these things. a week earlier a week later but by choosing to do them literally the day the american soldiers

left he was sending a message to his rivals but he was not going to be corralled and he was particularly sending a message to the united states that their influence was ending. russian soyuz spacecraft carrying three crew is on its way to the international space station the trio along with a host of newly developed digital equipment are expected to reach the i assess on friday aussies and he said now he was out the blast of baikonur in kazakstan has more. why is rocket just about to blast off here from baikonur cosmodrome conflicts than let's take a look at this site. absolutely

credible there will reach the top speed of one point five meters per second and i will have the rocket in orbit and less than ninety minutes from blast off that we just saw on board our three space men including russian cosmonauts a big young go along with an american astronaut and a european astronaut from holland and they will be onboard the international space station for some six months of course that means they will be spending christmas and new year's there for some of them it's not the first time they'll be spending the holidays there we had a chance to speak to them just before takeoff and what they said word was yes we'll have some kind of celebration of their commander will certainly have the christmas hats ready and we will take part in some kind of celebration a really do you have a lot of work to do what they'll be doing there is conducting eyes several of some thirty six or so experiments there and also be doing engineering research one of the experiments which is considered the most important in terms of research that's going on at the international space station is actually trying to find life forms

on the outer surface of the i assess of course this is the only way now to reach to have crews reached i assess through the site space program because the u.s. nasa i should say of course grounded their shuttle missions to the i s s so it seems. although this is the last mission to the i assess for two thousand and eleven we're hearing that they'll be several more missions in twenty twelve and now it's the only way to. continue this very international what all spokesman say is a very important program for the international space community reporting from baikonur cosmodrome i'm used to now way for archie. the new rules closer to its own countdown to twenty twelve with a special series of first time reports a lot of trends that shaped the past year for space exploration it was a year of shock and downs space projects that consistently made it into the headlines but there was much more that. reveals.

one of the biggest landmarks that we saw this year was the fiftieth anniversary of your first spaceflight just before one of the nasa astronauts went up there i was having to chat with him about what it actually meant to have that first flight by you current fifty years ago and he was saying really it changed us as a species we stopped being limited to our own planet we were able to go out and explore further of course a few years after the first month set foot on the moon. for the most five hundred project which came to an end it was really something quite exciting it was great to be able to go in and have a look at it where they were when i'd seen it on television i was thinking wow this is six guys in a shed and then when i actually went to the spacecraft was i realized it was six

guys in a very very small shed for five hundred twenty days i mean doing them a bit of a disservice saying that there is a ship in the shed but when you see the pictures of the wood paneling and everything very small confined space that they were in such a long time worn year. five hundred team currently simulating never. however it will be. months before this store can be opened and they can step back to normality it was nice on the day i remember the day when they came out. the look on their faces when the door opened the look on the very very pale faces of course you have to realize these guys haven't seen sunlight for such a long time. they were ecstatic to have come out of there. and it really was i mean whether scientifically it ends up being the building block or the first step towards the first step i think it was referred to by the organizers towards going

to. people too. well looking back. one of the things that really. it wasn't just the module itself. it was the fact. is the only way we have now. the progress module. is carrying. supply for the international space station at the time we were hearing . from the guys on the space station food and supplies have been saying no this is fine it's ok i'm. doing fine. the mission commander who was up there when he.

was telling me that yeah they were genuinely worried that. they were going to run out of food they didn't know if they were going to be able to be down to earth before in the beginning twenty twelve. pressures that these people put themselves through evident thankfully that these failures that we've seen today seen this year these failures that we've seen this year didn't result in. any major problems on monday spaceflight that's always the big concern but. it has shown me the perseverance of these people who do risk their lives going into space well as a job they do it for do it out of choice. that was just the first of the ten special reports awaiting you every day until the chimes are in twelve on december thirty first be sure not to miss the rest. witnesses. to history in the making. testimony. ten

stories that shapes two thousand and eleven on our t.v. . now activists in syria say the country has seen some of its fiercest of fines and since unrest began nine months ago with eva two hundred people killed since monday the main opposition group the syrian national council wants an emergency u.n. security council meeting to discuss the intensifying violence backed by france r.t. sara fast reports from damascus on international efforts to resolve the crisis. that is the team from the arab league is expected to arrive in the country that's the head of the observer mission that's expected to hit at the end of the month and that cools that mission concomitant moment these seemingly as both sides of the conflict accounts at the death toll rising all the time though in this instance the other day that the main opposition city where we see say much of the fighting place

yeah well see with that says in parts of the city where the fighting is much more concentrated and we went to love to travel to these poses it was the key dangers but even the cars we were visiting when they were struggling on you could hear the sounds of heavy gunfire breaking out across the city the government of calls and still maintaining the fighting and minutes in movement in the opposition saying that the government had been operating in quite some policy of the protest is that i spoke to the foreign ministry spokesman the other day that he was saying that what's needed now from outside countries is that no one should be adding fuel to this fire and again he moved the dialogue to be pushed in the situation if the outside warrant neighboring country. was to reward wants to help her get out of the crisis what we need to do is to help and provide the good offices to push the opposition was seeing nor to buy and move to say yes to the you know we're going to

come out on one thing but to discuss everything that are not there. you know what the discussion we had of the freedom of democracy now here in the capital damascus the cities remain largely felt safe from the conflict that is the main thing the signs that the economic sanctions that were imposed on the country by the have a lot the last month you take it now taking. a promise to see. diesel and kicking ass and then be sure that the today sanctions. powered cars around the city will say they won't come and the full the sanctions would put in place had now become much more frequent. for a fair bit longer as well. well i haven't even day to school and listen senior fellow at the independent institute says the opposition is trying to distort the real situation in the country to provoke foreign intervention after the libya libyan example opposition groups unfortunately are going to try to get united

states into some sort of shooting war over this sort of thing where they do it by lying or does even telling the facts you know they're going to be trying to do to get the united states in there and there are some people in the united states that would like to do that use libya as a model and to do it attack syria and other countries and help the protestors but i think that's probably counterproductive because you don't know what's going to take the place of the regime and where i don't think the libyan. for soder the gyptian episode those have been solved those revolutions are still either late in the case of libya or actually are still ongoing in the case of egypt so i think those countries are not out of the woods and stirring things up in these countries is not necessarily a good idea because you don't know what type of regime you're going to get it. and it's going to check on what is happening around the world this hour now and at

least twenty five people died in southeast haiti when a coach collided head on with a truck that was fully loaded with bricks the crash happened on a road that was reduced to one lane while roadworks were taking place deadly car accidents are frequent occurrence in the mountainous areas of turkey that are infamous for a minimal respect for traffic wardens. five nato troops have been killed by a roadside bomb in eastern afghanistan the polish soldiers were in a convoy headed to the east in that gobby a province around one hundred twenty kilometers southwest of the capital kabul when it struck the farm the taliban has already claimed responsibility for the attack. so workers of greece of been protesting for fifty two days against fifty layoffs and two months of hard national sterrett measures they demand their five colleagues be hired back the country is struggling to escape the tightening needs of debt which threatens to push it into default greece is trying to convince

a private crazy banks to write off all the data that us. now along most is on the future of the e.u. . the called global. on the head of the bridge of international relations. coming up next on. the euro.

to the longer we all thank you very much for being with us today it's a pleasure sir so you had one of europe's think tanks i was wondering in terms of policy what do you promote and is there such thing as european approach for example there's an american approach the russian approach is there such thing as your approach not really in policy terms because we know europe is not yet. single unified decision making specially for foreign policy i think it will take a few decades before europe is able to be the single voice in international international affairs nevertheless i think there is a so-called sensibility in the sensitivity about international affairs europe is much closer to. your usual continent but in the united states perhaps we are

a little bit more realistic but do you see russia as part of europe yes of course russia is part of europe but it's not part of the european union you know i was reading the economist couple of years ago and they were making predictions on how the world would be in time years and one of the predictions was that russia will be part of european union do you think it's possible you know why now first of all. russia is much too big you know and i think that. europe president loves a lot in since the collapse of the soviet union twenty years ago and we have not they just. the new chemicals and don't forget that we have a huge controversy about turkey just cannot imagine the candidacy of russia. in a time when we are still struggling and debating your bungle selves. both so things. i'm not saying that russia will never be the european union you know my

own vision is that in one hundred years from that well to transfer just from now the european union will have extended to the whole planet actually because i think we are the seeds of a new model of world government so the european union is a very serious thing but if you tell me in ten years that that is not the slightest chance. for russia to join so surprised to hear that they are in for as many people now that at the. basis for your play. well specially with doing so badly you really think you're playing such a strong foundation that you can last and actually expand. again i'm talking long very long term horizon for fall for one simple reason you know globalization means more and more interdependence with more and more interdependence the risk of the small incidence of accidents

have a huge consequence is all over the world this risk is increasing very fast which means that we will have to invent totally new modes of governance and this is exactly what we are experimenting. european union level of course progress is difficult of course in the case of the you will we know at the very defining moment. my guess by the way for the euro is that we will come out of this stronger not weaker because we will be forced you know to invent into the new devices the new instruments of governance to avoid the repetition of such crises and but but there is no alternative for europe is supposed europe. suppose you have destroys itself itself it could happen of course but it would be. a single member of the europe. and you know it will be the world so my point is

that of course the basis of realty really shaky but it is the most interesting model in politics that has been invented in the last since world war two. and i repeat i think it will be a model for the whole world financial for example right now america regardless of the crisis is considered to be a hedge and i consider to be number one how do you think it will be ten years where you're talking about the new type of governance of the world first of all i think that the u.s. is no longer the good model in that it's the beginning of the end and we might very well be at this stage comparable to let's say the great britain at the end of the don't seem to century. talk about seventy or eighty years for the u.k. to lose entirely its predominance and i think we have

a more or less similar evolution with the us now what are your predictions for russia because i know you've been travelling to this country since ninety seven think that what they have done over the last twenty years is quite remarkable remarkable in spite of all the huge difficulties of transition after the collapse of the soviet union and i think that most of westerners and his teammate who do not recognise him. the kind of a nightmare you know the collapse of the soviet union with all its institutions its economy and so forth and so on was so i think what has been achieved is quite remarkable i think this country will gradually evolve in. the way in in a more liberal way but all this will take time thank you very much for this interview.
