revelations in an already troubled post gadhafi in libya as human rights groups accuse the military of torturing detainees to death. i agree activists back on the streets of poland to protest against the government signing. international until. they say results in internet censorship. and iran considers banning oil sales to europe and a big used to see the stock importing crude from the country but tehran says it's ready for negotiations over its nuclear program. and in business this hour russia's

two biggest banks announce plans for privatization in the coming months join us for more on that and. here with our to you're good to have you with us today well straight to our top story now several detainees in libya have died in recent weeks as a result of torture according to amnesty international human rights group says the crimes were committed by the libyan military and security forces the accusations follow similar claims by a french medical aid agency of thousands of gadhafi loyalists remain behind bars now suffering the same atrocities handed out under the late colonel's regime bodies when for nationals more. doctors without borders known for going do their job in the most dangerous and notorious places around the globe but an end to see run leave the group has encountered

a formidable obstacle they couldn't overcome burns from electric shocks and cigarettes heavy bruising and renal failure all these evidence of the continued torture of prisoners say the doctors and now after two inmates died from beatings the international group has stopped its mission in protest. patients were brought to us in the middle of interrogation for medical care in order to make them fit for further interrogation this is an acceptable our rule is to provide medical care to war casualties and sick detainees not to repeatedly treat the same patients between torture sessions the news comes amidst rising anger with libya's interim government demonstrations in benghazi last week ended with the resignation of a high ranking member of the m.t.c. in the former gadhafi stronghold of bani walid locals pushed out their terms you still can also forces claim in systematic abuse it started with the very beginning

of the rebellion very beginning of the insurrection the second day of the rebellion eighteenth of february so the african migrants were rounded up locked in a detention center and burnt to death and the n.p.c. expressed their support for this time and this is part of the strategy of the west you know divide and rule and that was given the green light of the torture and execution that we're seeing now so this is a clear recipe for civil war meanwhile the nato operation that brought the empty seat of power is by itself raising questions. a high profile international team of human rights activists has been to leave here to university gate some of make sure that it bears entity of where with that if you go in the friends and there were guiding the air raids and directing them and court have been meeting them if you

are mandated. to protect. that thought it is very very accurate in a way that i myself saw the killing of so many people in front of more my eyes i saw the killing of fifty one people in front of my eyes was fifteen years old and while all sides in the libyan conflict are to blame for violence and violations the human rights activists claim not all of them have been held responsible for their wrongdoings investigating what happened during labor seven months civil war and the nato campaign to protect civilians this fact finding mission discovered again crimes against humanity but the goal was not to judge but to shed light on what happened and not to repeat the mistakes in a recent united nations report has revealed that up to eight thousand supporters have been held by militia groups in libya right now and with numerous occasions of torture and revenge killings throughout the country hopes of

a new beginning for libya are fading quickly raef notion or r.t. . to libya's post gadhafi government the national transitional council has so far failed to bring peace and stability to the country coming up later here in our tape people are burning his guests on cross-talk debate why the militias who overthrew the colonel are reluctant to obey their new leaders. who the hell is the n.p.c. who are these people after all these months it's still very opaque who are they. well you know we we know that these are people who who who were privileged and under the old regime and who decided they could be more privileged under a western style regime i think you know this thing about wanting democracy well when i've seen it and i you didn't hear it because there's just not you're only us when i don't even finish i haven't said anything in your interrupting me. saying

there you have you said. which are simply not true what my problem is that my problem with the m.d.c. is that a lot of the. exiles that have come back and some of my actually lived in the suburbs of langley and that's my issue ok my issue is that these are western gets. as a matter of fact one of the issues in libya is right now that when you talk to libyans they refer to the t.n.c. the transitional council as a government off foreigners and so i think you put your finger right on the piece or not only it's off gadhafi as a matter of fact most of those people have been arranged out of the t.n.c. has broadened and i'm not even as you were going through these. were exiles. in a sense that is part of the problem and why they are not legitimate is because they really have no standing in the country at this point.

more angry protests have broken out in poland after the government gave its support to an international anti piracy treaty activists say the pact known as an actor would choke freedom of online expression of poland joined several other e.u. countries in the closed door signing ceremony in japan on thursday. with censorship the end so i come to a few trade agreement known as act which poland signed on thursday has upset many internet users across the country in the small. in alone several thousand people hit the streets fearing the treaty would allow corporations to crack down on the freedom of speech online the idea of punishing you for publishing the. marriage material. is somehow illogical to me it's like punishing the corporation that produces knifes for. being used to kill somebody

that will be use to our internet activity i believe that talking through the internet email for a form of self-expression this was yet another rally in a whole string of protests held in poland since tuesday large crowds in several cities voiced their anger at the government for signing the document most of the country's government websites were hijacked by the anonymous group they had threatened to reveal sensitive information about the authorities should they go ahead with the act there are certain countries which are very interested in. this is. this is john. and because they. truong businesses. are property laws and they want to enforce it all over the world but this doesn't mean that this is good for the people and this is why would we have this protest in poland because people feel oppressed by that essentially actor

is about protecting intellectual property from music and books to pharmaceuticals and clothes similar in form to the stalled u.s. bill so people that also sparked widespread protests however critics say actor was engineered in complete secrecy bypassing government procedures and the criminal punishment it allows alerted many any legislation must be founded in the public opinion of what's right and wrong when you have a copyright industry that's talking about extraditing. and has done nothing but linking to t.v. shows extradition does something useful murder and genocide this is such an abuse of power i think its time is more than ripe for a serious review of what we want with copyright law and it's certainly not calling out just terrorists. if you doubt this

will happen given that prime minister to six party hold the majority in the same government says the agreement is not a threat to freedom but maintain the internet should not be a space of legal. but protesters say they will bring even more people to warsaw central square on friday to stop it becoming law in the space of just three days protests and phone have managed to gather tens of thousands of people and while this is still little chance that this bill would not make it through parliament the rallies are likely to die down. the r.t. reporting from poland. was so ahead for you this hour the fiscal function of the year future course of the global economy is being discussed by international movers and shakers at the world economic forum. iran says it's considering cutting oil supplies to europe preempting and e.u. embargoed you to come into force in july two rounds go makers are set to debate the

move or the subject of a draft bill on sunday it comes after the e.u. imposed sanctions in an attempt to force it back to negotiations table of its nuclear program rounds president clinton jag says tehran is ready to return to talks but its opponents need to improvise to ensure from the campaign against sanctions the true intervention in iran says the country is acting to protect its sovereignty. the grace period that the vision for six months for does go to take place may actually not be that graceful so iran is taking matters into his own hands and the other issue is that it shows a complex city of feeling in the midst of politics and the power that the iranian parliament holds that is accountable to its people and it's not going to just sit back and watch what's going to happen to the national sovereignty off the wrong there chose that disconnect between. his harlem and his people because this is

a model is not something which is going to be to the benefit of european people and there's also if this is going to fifteen european governments on their parliament as well i mean it's not the most ideal situation for iran because iran has to find different consumers for costumers where it's all about the same time iran is going to be to decrease this dependence on the petro dollar this is a very good thing in the lot longer and of course they rein in middle class the small businesses who actually do business with a pin business as they're going to suffer but that is. wrong claims that that is for short term and in the long term this is actually going to lead to more independence for iran as a whole as as a nation not just not just one part of the society which is investing in foreign businesses while the u.s. and europe continue to hit iran the sanctions and strong rhetoric the suggestion of military action against the islamic republic leaves many americans cold but he's going to church and he's in the country's capital to gauge opinion. so while the

obama administration says war with iran is still on the table and washington hawks come up with even harsher statements we could break the iranian regime i think within a year the majority of americans may says that their opposition to more wars which is reflected in all recent polls is being ignored in washington residents of charlottesville in virginia took the matter to their city council which passed the resolution calling on the federal government to and all its wars and avoid starting the new one with iran the biggest threat right now is that we will get jackknifed into a war against iran which would be a disaster for the people of iran and for the people of charlottesville and the rest of our country david swanson is the co-author of the resolution adopted by the charlottesville city council. for the popular will as always been against wars unless pushed in dragged by very manipulative propaganda and they have been

trying those who want war on iran have been trying unsuccessfully for years to get the american people on board i went out on the street to see how many people i would meet who want the u.s. to attack iran. do you think the u.s. should attack iran no no not at all the last thing we should do well it's a terrible idea one of the worst ideas i think i have heard a while yeah that would be horrible yeah because they're good guys but because. i think another war is just a horrific idea but look on the republican side you've got certain ones over there now who want to just can't wait to get us a war it really doesn't look good at all do you think the u.s. should attack iran yes just one out of more than a dozen interviews and it's not just people on the street but many experts in the security field warn against starting a war with iran including the former acting director of the cia people keep saying

that the military option is. is still on the table i think it would be a very bad option but the latter one to use one of the big problems with iran is that if you get into. an open confrontation of military confrontation your risk a cycle of retaliation and response. with great difficulty seeing where the end point is the question one may ask is how does washington continue talking wars with so many americans against them i have a hard time thinking of any example of any issue on which the conduct of our government in washington or responds with majority opinion war is not some kind of exception the public is against bailouts for bankers the public is against subsidies for energy companies the public is against wars the public is against just about every decision made on important issues in washington the fact of the matter is that majority of americans don't want a new wars on their plate poll showed they were opposed to u.s.

involvement in libya as well but the government went about it anyway many says that the rift between what americans want and what leaders do in the name of the american people is getting larger i'm going to check our reporting from washington our team. for all our stories and much more ahead to a web site r.t. dot com here's what you can find online right now live in a long shot from republican presidential candidate puts forward the idea of making some flight america's fifty first state plus. the animatronic dinosaurs who thrill and terrify visitors at the australian museum of natural history so it's a great some milestone birthday on a recent renovation hundred fifty years since opening its doors this museum seen walks of life can see more party thoughts come.

the third day of the world economic forum is getting on the way as the business of the prepare to tackle the global financial crisis and attempt to restore economic confidence the future of china and you regime is expected to dominate today's agenda along with other forms of issues well she's more in this to report it's day three of the world economic forum but things are certainly not slowing down if anything they are continuing to get more into the problems the economic problems that really are the ones that are a focus of the globe and the people here we will of course given out here a lot more on the eurozone crisis this is really something that has cast a cloud over this entire forum with it being the headache for the global economy as angela merkel pointed out in her remarks probably quite fit only when this forum.
