his main stronghold in the forces loyal to the full moco no two duffy managed to take control over the city and did manage actually to raise the green flag at one of the city's gates the green flag symbolizing khadafi the toughest ruling as far as the move officials happen recruitment least five national transitional council people have been killed we can see for sure what was the reason behind these pollens in front of all these we know that the same day the even justice minister announced that the international criminal court had allegedly agreed to let say for the slum to duffy's son to be tried in leave it and until even more although it hasn't been confirmed by the i.c.c. itself judge alex say that the violence and this announcement may be cannot just hours later violence erupted in another part of the country in the eastern part in the town of been guns he was known as the rebel stronghold and later on we've been

hearing about the ball and around people in the wrong the capital they've said so several take points wrong tripoli following the clashes reporters there but also we can see that the n.c.c. a warning that the country may fall into civil war with the situation very dangerous trying to calm down fatah says and trying to take control over the tensions and not to load them to escalate further. we've seen that. protest in benghazi when people have been demonstrating against and to see if the m.d.c. just trying is trying to take control of the situation but unfortunately so far was little success. go for nations of putting their arab league observers from syria even though the mission's been extended for another month the saudi dominated gulf cooperation council also wants the un's most powerful group the security council to put pressure on damascus to end the bloodshed syria's foreign minister accuses some . state of drawing an international conspiracy against the country out of

a blatant interference in serious internal affairs damascus for its part insists it will continue to take all necessary steps to protect the country gives what it calls payoffs syria's already returned to the narrow brokered peace plan calling for president assad to step down while the e.u. is impose more sanctions to further squeeze on the regime result to sara first reports next to my boss the syrian people themselves who are bearing the brunt. trying to shine a light on what's happening in the country the observer mission looks set to continue now for another month but every day here is proving more and more of a challenge for the people. due to the european sanctions in syria to argue studio we don't have any tourist we don't have any for most of the e.u. has no one pays its eleventh consecutive round of sanctions this time putting a travel ban on people and businesses linked with the assad regime is we've been

finding out the cascade of sanctions because syria is struggling economy actually they are pushy the syrian people in a way or another i mean if they have governmental sanctions to be imposed by big business with the syrian government not with the people but the power is completely outside this door in the central damascus at the moment and this is one of the main criticisms aimed at the economic sanctions this that this simply affecting the laser every day syrian people is that most businesses in this area now are dependent upon these types of diesel generated the need to figure out that avocado not make debug and people's lives there the not everyone can afford the back up at home with his wife and children and then says when the power cuts out the family simply have to make generator very expensive costs like.

sixty thousand three hundred pounds as i know it's not cheap and it's not just families and small businesses that are being affected oil production has fallen dramatically after an export in by ok and the cost of raw materials here has risen as one official from the chamber of commerce tells us a plummeting currency and rising prices have pushed many businesses to take their trade and money elsewhere in the business of money don't put all the money in the business keep somebody maybe maybe. this is the. mc in the market because norm or cash money for money. entry to recent form halfway through our interview the lights go out. how do. you know over who did this or i harbor.

but your who. stops in one or two hours of spy cools the dialogue is being political and economic pressure on the country that's been favored in attempting to resolve the crisis the arab league observed in mission has also made little headway safe then they say they were there simply to investigate and to reports there have been numerous calls for even more observers to be allowed into the country i think the real issue is that the syrians need to allow in a much much more neutral a much more wide ranging and much more forceful international observer mission if they've got nothing to hide if it's if they're genuinely not killing innocent people then one of the go to the the sanctions impact is heavily contested this need doubt that they are putting pressure on an increasingly isolated government many people in the country it will say made an already desperate situation even

worse. r.t. damascus syria still ahead of you on r t one sided limits. very disappointed in fact disgusted i go back to the june a u.k. student faces extradition to the u.s. on charges of breaching copyright no it's all down to a british american treaty that's being slammed as. we got more about that coming. next the rams apparently found a way to stay in business despite a new e.u. oil embargo an asset freeze in the is now reportedly agreed to pay around in gold for its oil instead of u.s. dollars reports suggest the rounds biggest customer china could follow suit running all the prostrate issues in new delhi for us tonight. india actually has already bought iranian oil using gold instead of u.s. dollars and this is extremely significant because every year india actually spends twelve billion u.s. dollars on iranian oil and now actually beijing is also saying that it might want

to jump on board with new delhi and also look into some sort of agreement with iran to continue to get oil new delhi and beijing actually account for forty percent of the imports of iranian oil the e.u. only counts for twenty percent obviously we've been talking about all week about this oil embargo that the e.u. announced on monday that they're hoping to roll out and put into place by chill live first and obviously if new delhi and beijing find a way to continue trading with iran using gold instead of u.s. dollars this would severely hurt what the european union in washington is trying to do russia has also said that it wants to continue trading with iran using domestic car and seize instead of u.s. dollars obviously the point of the e.u. oil embargo would be to bring iran back to the negotiations table over its nuclear program obviously iran has consistently maintained that this is

a peaceful nuclear program the west believes that they are potentially developing nuclear weapons so in response to the e.u. is announcement on monday that it will place an oil embargo on iran iran has said that it's going to shut the strait of hormuz which is actually where twenty to thirty percent of the world's oil supply shuttles through in the united states is that it will absolutely not allow that to happen even sort of alluding to the fact that it could potentially use military force to make sure that that strait stays open moscow has also said that i think sions are obsolete form of sort of punishing a country and that it's actually going to be counterproductive and another interesting thing to note here is that if beijing and new delhi continue to trade with iran with gold it's actually going to increase the value of gold and decrease the value of the u.s. dollar as the global reserve currency. the reporting from new delhi for us is get more insight on the iranian crisis and talk to survive so fall river to pen a research here and right joining us on the line from california very good to see

you tonight thanks for being with us and there's a lot of tough talk we've been reporting on it so much over the last weeks months and tough action indeed against iran by the u.s. and its allies the e.u. is that any way connected simple question but with that of course being election year in the states any coincidence there and i'm just at least i think domestic politics always do america's foreign policy and of course this is an election year and everybody is vying for competition how to best gone and iran is this. i mean on the one hour we've got the u.s. threatening military action if iran crosses red lines on the other with washington trying to dissuade israel for a magazine on its own it was what at one point it would be it would do something without telling america what's behind america's policy if you think. i don't believe there's america would ever risk attacking iran it's simply not in

a position to whine does imagine that one of course america does have a much more powerful military the navy is far more powerful but let us not forget that geography is on the side if you run eons and the strait of hormuz at its narrowest point is only fifty four kilometers wide and only ninety feet deep and ninety meters is me and some have called it a bath tub. do you want america is it possible for america to be able to swim in a basket with its. huge navy or is it easy for iran to counter any attack. eventually iran might be defeated but not before it really harms american interests and western ally interests matt its real mad that's to imply that in america would attack iran it cannot it can't afford it what about israel its recently said has made the decision to strike iran's nuclear sites was quote very far off but iran says it is one of the us where you know over more in

iran we witness these reports of nuclear scientists being killed for example is not really likely to be the case a cold war going on inside iran's borders. well a covert war has been going on for thirty two years american israel have unleashed terrorists in iran they've been taking out people they're killing them and sanctions are warfare there's no doubt about it so this is nothing new and they will continue to do that but i think iran has become well experienced in being able to fight off its wars and these covert actions and america and israel the western allies now europeans are only harming themselves iran i am confident iran will eventually sit by and again so i go back to the motivation for all this and i recently just last week both israel and the us before have admitted recently that. building nuclear weapons of the moment the didn't present any prove either that

iran's nuclear program has got a military slot so why does the u.s. keep pushing ramping up the pressure on iran but this. i think it's very clear for anybody who's been studying the region and the history of the united states that america's pushing for regime change in iran in america needs a compliant iran just to t.j. clee iran is very important resource rich and it really has helped russia and china buffer against western imperialism so it is important to washington to take out the regime in iran and install a puppet that would be side in this american power structure and american ambitions in the region is that nothing to do with the nuclear issue and we both interviewed president mahmoud ahmadinejad face to face me just a couple of months ago you back in twenty ten after which you said you firmly believed he was misrepresented by the corporate media could it be the case that the

country itself on the whole nuclear issue yes absolutely i think his misrepresented and america does turn to person to fly its foreign policy it's very easy for america to pick one person to stand there was in the closet. cut off mid sentence or set a poor independent research and right to there in california we've got a problem with skype ok let's move on a big chill has been held at moscow's domodedovo international airport exactly a year after the deadly bombing in the arrivals hall people laid flowers in that candle for the victims of the tragedy were a suicide bomber blew himself up killing thirty seven people investigators identified the man as a twenty year old from russia's republican to shetty are trained by islamist terrorists in the north caucasus region seventeen minutes in length and the attack killed in special operations last year four others have been detained there about to be charged but one of the world's most wanted terrorist dr morrow claims he must

abandon the bombing is still at large. and we got more details about how the attack was planned and carried out on a website of comic. interested also plenty of other news there as well in fact these right now guidelines in the u.k. could see drug smugglers and street dealers avoiding prison even if they caught with heroin or cocaine on them to find out more about that song line and monday june the hitter's they say they diverted commas to more of the largest outburst of radiation from the sun some of the worst in six years hits the earth threatening communication and it's going to get the latest on that as well on our website. u.k. student faces extradition to the u.s. for setting up a website giving people free access to movies online that's not a crime in britain but in america he could get up to ten years in prison it's because of a controversial treaty between the two countries originally intended to extradite terrorist suspects result is over bennett found out the deals putting many british citizens in an extremely vulnerable position. from running

a website in his bedroom with links to pirated movies to up to ten years in a u.s. federal prison richard o'dwyer is the latest victim of the u.k.'s controversial extradition treaty with america his actions aren't even a crime in britain but counters copyright infringement in the us for the judge that was enough for richard's mother it was devastating. perry's going to say and you've got to go for it i don't think that you rigid site t.v. shack was seized by u.s. authorities last year this is what you see on the home page now he didn't host any illegal videos itself but posted links to where users could find them u.s. prosecutors claim richard banked two hundred thirty thousand dollars in advertising revenue from the site although he's never been to america they claim his actions had direct consequences there he even treated unfairly so i. guess because he was

just pro extradition for well after it all about but i'm just going to go with the other side anyway so. all that work that we put in. and all the he would there when he's i'm not sure if you were there last time before when he said made a good strong argument but all went out the window completely. you know giving up no no we can't go. to the. the u.k. u.s. extradition treaty was signed in two thousand and three supposedly to bring international terrorists to justice but many feel it's unfair to british citizens it makes it far easier for america to extradite someone from the u.k. than the other way around so far extraditions of five to two in america's favor veteran british m.p. simming campbell's leading a review of the treaty by his party the smaller partner in the governing coalition

what i argue for is that the position of a british citizen should be no worse than that of an american to and at the moment you think it's in bonds record i'm in no doubt that out of bounds richard was innocently caught up in something which was never intended to deal with people like gary mckinnon case is another that's left british m.p.'s crying out for change the asperger's sufferer has been fighting extradition for seven years he's wanted for hacking into pentagon files that he claims he was searching for evidence of u.f.o.'s a recent parliamentary debate on the treaty was so one sided in favor of changing it that a vote wasn't even needed but what's happening in there is still not enough to stop richard o'dwyer is pending extradition his case is certainly highlighted the need for something to be done but any changes could be too late for him his case is now in the hands of home secretary theresa may who has been accused of abandoning plans

to change the treaty richard and his family will get the chance to appeal the decision at a higher court but their options are rapidly running out after bennett r.t. london. now back to our top story the trouble is broken out again in libya they're loyalists to late mama gadhafi have retaken one of their former strongholds bunnie were leaders clashes spread across the country let's talk to. cassy he's witnessed natives campaign for himself and libby is joining us on the line from manchester thanks for being on artie's good to see you last week middle east human rights groups showed evidence of war crimes by allied forces they say last year saying nato bombs schools and private homes what have you seen in your hometown of sirte we've heard so much about it on the news is that report accurate as far as your concern and what you saw. yes it is it is very very accurate in a way that i myself saw the killing of so many people in front of my eyes i saw the killing of fifty one people in front of my eyes then just was fifteen years old

there was two brothers they were killed in discriminately and their houses were. leveled by nato bombs this is not a mission. the than it was supposed to protect civilians actually what happened they killed indiscriminately they intend feet in libya and they are war criminals they should be brought to justice if there is any justice left in this world china and russia to be the mother of countries to interfere in libya and stop the killing of people they are trying to say that anybody who oppose these. thugs. loyalists to get that you can that he died three years three three months or two months ago and they still use this propaganda to tell anyone that opposes them that they are lawyers to get tough gadhafi died and these people are libyans they didn't

come from another planet we shouldn't kill them because they oppose the t.c. the anti you see is in itself is corrupt full of lies they told the people that gadhafi used mercenaries the recent reports showed that there was no match families on the other hand the rumor centers were brought by the. as we saw in the report in. the italian newspaper showing that the italian special forces were on. libyan soil in the so-called oppression of tripoli. actually it wasn't a liberation but it was definitely a creation you. give me your thoughts briefly if you can get a couple of things i want to ask you your thoughts about the n.t. so you have no faith in them now. there is no fate actually when you started evolution if you telling me that this sort of evolution was supposed to be for the sake of the poor people for the sake of fighting corruption there's more corruption

now in libya that have never been before there is more killing in libya that get the killing of people now in these two months that the anti c.v. in power is far away from what gadhafi has done in forty two years. this all. the image of libya is very gloomy and we feel as libyans that the international society it's just too weak or it's the other party of the international society is controlled by you and its allies and they are now there are reports in libya saying that there are planes over but you will leave these planes we don't know whether they are nato whether they are from the anti see when the when the program started to libya they told us that get that he was using. planes to kill his own people now we see planes in.

from an eyewitness i spoke to that they are using. planes where the planes come from we don't know we don't have any any end in for i really want to know libyans or i know this is very emotional an emotive subject for you talking about your homeland there what you saying go on so graphically. just tell me as you see it what do you think the support is for the old regime gadhafi regime did it disappear was it there all along was it just coming back out of the shadows tell me what the feeling is in libya for gadhafi. the feeling for gadhafi if you could bring duffy back to life you will do because we live better under the gadhafi regime we didn't have these thugs in libya we didn't have the killing now taking place in libya we didn't have the interviews we were independent country we didn't we didn't have our own choice if there is freedom of choice now they are talking about

freedom it's their choice to stand where that would get that if you're against gadhafi those people if they are would get that it's their choice you cannot kill them because they are with gadhafi they out of your men and they are libyans firstly you told me they are going to senators know they are not going to senators the libyans from but he will use a big tribe in libya it's fellow tribe and if you want to tell me that this city is would get that it's their choice nobody can tell you what word to stand if you are russian you stay with you russians if you are if you don't want anybody then it's your choice now if these people are sorry even thought we've got the business bulletin coming out have to stop you trying to say but really appreciate being on the program witness of the nato campaign there in libya joining us from manchester thanks ever so much thank you very much shortly we've got the courage to report take a look at the davos economic forum coming up for you that so the next thirty

minutes panel but not before we caught up with the business as a separate dmitri now. thanks kevin the ruble here to twenty is twelve high against the dollar on tuesday a number of factors of pushing it higher leaving the strong crude prices and destroying the quality in the banking sector economists alexandria steele from the t.v. capital believes the effect is temporary and the currency will weaken later this year. but i think that it's a temporary phenomenon that's a first quarter effect and the ruble is helped by a stronger current account because of seasonally high experts and this is now a low imports and. quit so we expect there will to be strong in the first quarter and then to gradually we can tell what's their second half of the year. and a born in russia fell at the end of last year jobless rate dropped twenty basis points from the very birth to six point one percent in december according to
