there a little chance for justice a fair trial just a year ago this place used to be a school today demain last i'm being told here is that during the transition to democracy quick reactions are a must while many in the new libyan government held positions of power under gadhafi those who failed to jump on the bandwagon early enough and now finding themselves tog behind bars. now in libya there are about a thousand people in detention and the problem is they haven't had any legal review they haven't had access to a lawyer they haven't been brought before any independent judicial panel or judges so that's what we're calling for now is a quick and. legal review and rebuilding the justice system the treatment is even more brutal outside tripoli they tell not to run to god the gadhafi forces used to launch attacks against misrata is still a ghost town many of its former residents live in refugee camps and even their

extraordinary renditions by militia are common. this man says he was tortured for several days before finally being released. to you until you confess to things you haven't committed like entering homes or looting it's a grueling dilemma many of these mothers and wives have to confront to pray for their loved ones to be rotting in a prison with torture being officially acknowledged and you hope for their death children need their fathers and women need their husbands the government isn't doing anything to find them if they're dead that we want to know where they are more than a month since his capture the most prisoners still doesn't have access to a lawyer and while many dollars say full islam's ability to have a fair trial he still appears to be better off than many of his country mad at least thanks to the limelight he's not running a risk of being executed like his father while many still are. artsy tripoli.

where the next few minutes the foreigner is making it big in russia. this is a country economy and a market that's crawling at a really really rapid pace dentists sinking their teeth into new challenges due to success in speciality shopping pathfinder series starts to offer opportunities. for us we had to russia's close up encounter with wildlife protectors. syria has criticized the u.s. for accusing it of not complying with the observer mission washington is sending an envoy to cairo for talks with the about the latest developments. syria's foreign ministry says the u.s. is interfering in affairs that it's business it's pulled out with weapons and tanks from cities after pressure from the arab league which says security forces are still killing civilian protests as london based political analyst chris bambery
11:06 pm
believes america's actions indicate it's gearing up the true intervention. in the arab league sanctions against syria and the key ally in the sense of prize turkey has been involved in arming the free syrian free syrian army and training them and we know there are also american advisers in those camps in turkey training and i think when you combine. together sanctions deployed diplomatically but also the involvement with the free syrian army it begins to create a dynamic where perhaps the americans don't want woman to be involved in north york region in syria because pull in that direction that is a very dangerous dangerous route as we know from previous history of conflict going on in vietnam once you send advisors and trainers into a country it's very often the case that troops will fall so i think america is in danger of going on a slippery slope. when about twenty minutes time middle east politics expert dr germ salt explains why he thinks there's
11:07 pm
a tunnel vision when it comes to deciding just who is doing the killing in syria here's what's ahead. in the report. the human rights council reports four thousand but there was no explanation of that figure where they go. a few days later. who's the u.n. human rights commission she threw up a few security council and said five thousand. and the figure echoes around the world and i think it lodges in the popular imagination is five thousand people being killed by the syrian government security forces by the military whatever whereas in fact i don't think it's any doubt at all a large number of military of civilians have been killed by armed gangs about it but this so what we actually need to do is to aggregate these figures.
11:08 pm
there's a nightmare new year resolution which is giving you resent it is a hangover at the start of twenty twelve greece's prime minister is threatening to quit the euro if cuts aren't in the mint it and he had to secure a further bailout of one hundred thirty billion euros if it defaults the european banks billions by greece would lose out another struggling countries with placement pressure research billion line international cash actions since twenty ten well talks over the second bailout of stalled finance creditors demanding to know who says economy which many say is ultimately doomed belgian business journalist overbuilt the outcome is already set in stone for both the greek government and brussels. the greek government is realizing that there is likely no option left the greek economy is going down like a storm and i think we are now at the point where everybody realizes that we cannot
11:09 pm
go on like this and that unrest even in the country is becoming so much of a threat that some drastic things need to be done and my reading of what the greek government is doing is that they are trying to prove that they are looking for an alibi to offer to their public by which they can say well it's not our fault if the international community that pushes us to work the exit of the euro and i think also here in europe. brussels that quarters of the european commission people start to realize that there really is no other way to solve the greek problem than by an exit from the euro zone. well you'd think that with europe's debt crisis swirling around its biggest bankroller germany but it might be dominating the country's political landscape instead the people there are rounding on the president to quit after he threatened a newspaper against revealing home loans scandal he's embroiled in and support is shifting to a new party that has no official stance on the e.u.

or its troubles and you go to school reports now from berlin. it looks like an ordinary scene at one of the many bars in berlin except there is one thing which makes this party totally different from all the others the parties they must be talking about. the pirate party germany that's right this is an annual meeting of a political party and all these people are alone it's eighteen thousand members across germany like dimitri was tired of the mainstream and i was really disappointed in. all this the same way. the faces. and the firefighter was really different one of its key differences apart from the style in general is a software system called liquid feedback allowing ordinary germans the opportunity to propose policies online the pirate stand for more transparency and freedom on the internet but when it comes to core issues like the economy and we don't have
11:11 pm
currently a stand on this crisis maybe we'll have the next federal convention but this wasn't a problem at the previous election for the berlin state problem a time when the poor party managed to win nearly ninety percent of the vote securing fifteen seats most people who act they say are just something something fresh to me like because many germans believe that politics are cross to this time as the big players struggle with big economic and political issues but part party doesn't even have an official stance on the eurozone crisis or the arab spring nevertheless it continues gathering more supporters i mean a coincidence or an alarming signal stream politicians the free democrats party which is an go in merkel's federal coalition porter is the first to feel the change of sorts from voters actually last. along with another four local volts across the
11:12 pm
country mainstream politics is also losing attractiveness because. there's often too little distinction or distinct difference between different parties from different fields or areas sometimes between difficult to tell the difference between conservative and social democrat experts say the part parties key success to use the internet as the new driving force changing politics similar to the we it was influenced by t.v. over half a century ago so unless the mainstream parties adapt and change their tactics. long before they could find themselves on the margins. or germany. or europe's financial failures dragging britain into an unholy rao the government squaring up to the church for getting involved myself discussion in the kaiser report at seven thirty am g.m.t. . canterbury blasted for comparing rioters and bankers as politicians urged

decent dentistry so when the soviet union ended ex-pat courtney was among those ready to fill that gap. just i'm not sure that. there is anything that can quite prepare you for doing business in russia in the early ninety's which is when i first came it was a very very wild time in the business sense a wild time in the lifestyle sense and it required a great deal of energy and creativity to bring and create a western type of business here in russia the idea was actually a no brainer executing the idea was very very difficult there was a great deal of demand for dentistry i decided to stay and start the first american dental clinic in russia if we take us dental care and the dentistry business for example you're looking at one difference i'm not

a doctor but the principal owner of the business this business has thirteen practitioners all specialties from hygiene to the general dentistry to implants orthodontics that's very rare to find in a place in the us or in london in the high street typically you have a smaller office that's owned and managed by the doctor one to five dentists hording staff and specialist sort generally organized separately doctors refer patients to each other here our place is not so unique for russia you tend to have specialists and generalists collected in one clinic under one roof starting a business here today is both easier and more difficult that what than it was in the past licensure in compliance with the rules was technically very difficult because things were less organized and enforcement was loose in those days it was possible to let's say not comply with everything and still get along today the rules or more modern or strict but at least if you follow the rules you know what
