maybe it holds its first post gadhafi elections a bit of rest in a country still being torn apart by chaos and tribal tensions. the deadline for julian assange and his extradition from the u.k. to sweden expires on saturday but the whistleblower remains in the sanctuary of the act where the war is in the sea awaiting a decision on his asylum. and as the u.s. and its allies call for a u.n. resolution to allow military intervention against syrian government we'll look at the striking pattern a new tactic for and civil conflicts. is a.t.m. in the russian capital you're watching r t joshua welcome to the program libyans

are handing to the polls in the first nationwide parliamentary election since water khadafi was forced out and killed but the lead up to the vote has been marred with tribal clashes and fighting between rival armed groups and as artie's lucic alphen of reports there are fears the elections will do nothing to stop the violence. that this is the new libya political parties are now free to operate across the country. so to a countless armed groups they once fought to oust moammar gadhafi from power today it is they who are in control that tag militias who answer only to their own commanders have grown more powerful than libya's police and army to share towards market must put limits on these militias because they are dividing the country. into decay almost one year after a nato backed uprising ended gadhafi is rule libyans are taking to the polls for

the first time in decades for which tripoli's transitional national council too weak to quell ongoing violence many fear that elections will do little to bring peace but a good war is the condition called for it when they said that they are going to protect this country and we've got to go wrong there is nothing left and you know what he said leo we have national unity where is it was here is what will be in style democracy looks like armed groups calling for more autonomy stormed a benghazi polling station last sunday citing voting lists and ballots ablaze with new tribal clashes broke out in libya's city of this past week alone saw the deaths of nearly fifty people with hundreds wounded and when members of a local militia seized libya's biggest international airport in broad daylight last month security forces simply stood by and watched. they vary in size from gangs guarding neighborhoods to small de facto armies like the one ends in taunton which still holds libya's most famous prisoner saif ali. when international criminal

court staffers tried to visit gadhafi son they too were seized and held captive for nearly four weeks justice militia style may prove to be the biggest obstacle to whatever government libyans elect some groups are boycotting saturday's vote while others aligned with various political parties. a dangerous trend in existing divisions secularists islamicists even former members of al qaida are among the nearly four thousand people buying for a seat in the country's national congress the choice of candidates is the will doing for some that is precisely the problem this is because of their own i don't know. how congress may give the good teams new winners and. says i think this is the. millions of ng stained fingers will mark libya's first experiment with free elections but as the cases of iraq and afghanistan have shown voting booths alone do not equal a democracy and in the example of libya the line between freedom and anarchy is growing dangerously blurred whatever the outcome one thing is certain if i'm happy

with the result libya's armed groups now know what to do next. we are against i'm a dictator but if history repeats itself we will. see calculus on t.v. . and libya holds elections the country's top president gadhafi son saif al islam awaits trial and international criminal court lawyer who was part of a group detained for alleged spying and later released this week believes there is no chance safe will get a fair trial in his home country but political commentator look samuel says that the i.c.c. is part of the reason libya is locked in violence. the disunity that we're seeing in really has come around as a result of western intervention in the uprising of which the i.c.c. was very much a part of the i.c.c. prosecutions are by their very nature political you know the i.c.c. is used as a mechanism for trying those individuals which may lend some political authority to

the interventions of the west and that's why the i.c.c. is so often used in these interventions in order to bolster or thirty of western institutions and it's also the fact that the n.t. see how it's all forty on the ground bolstered by these indictments the indictments issued against the gadhafi family lent artificial cohesion to the rebellion on the ground a rebellion which has always been characterized by a very disparate set of material concerns on the ground and what the i.c.c. effectively did was artificially give that rebellion a sense of unification an artificial sense of political purpose and that in the end is proved extremely destabilizing because as we've seen now libya is anything but unified in fact it looks as though it may revert i mean it's in danger of reverting to the kind of a city state set up that we have in the nineteen fifties now the deadline set by the u.k.'s highest court for julian assange his extradition to sweden runs out on

saturday but the whistleblower saskia won't leave the safety of the ecuadorian embassy in london until a decision on his request for asylum in south america is made the center for of has more from outside a sandhurst place of refuge. it's been nearly two and a half weeks now the julian assange has been holed up inside the ecuadorian embassy here in london after presenting himself on the nineteenth of june seeking asylum now today is the deadline for his extradition to sweden after his appeal to the supreme court in the against the sexual assault allegations failed to would have been the day we could have seen julian assange put on a plane and sent over to sweden and of course the big. legal team have always said is that he would be. gets in very strict free trial the tension conditions and the overriding fear is that it would make it much easier for him to be extradited

on to the u.s. but of course that's not going to happen today because julian assange took that dramatics that to seek asylum and you can see here today a number of his supporters still keeping vigil outside the ecuadorian embassy got the banners of the poor for about seventeen days on a daily vigil we're here in solidarity with the sharjah war resister an all star standing with the ecuadorian people in the heart that i might the right decision which is to offer the guy sort of a real sense among sister of course is that this decision and the handling of his legal case it was a real failure for the u.k. in terms of defending human rights well now at the same time that you're in a sound just fighting his fierce battle against extradition we see wiki leaks once again coming into the spotlight and taking the headlines with a dramatic revelations over a new big leak the syria files more than two point four million e-mails that the

group say that they have that they're going and have already indeed started releasing and that the inner workings of not just the syrian government but also western countries and western companies as well and that's going to be released in stages over the next. because of weeks the last big leak of course the u.s. diplomatic cables cable gates well the syria files even bigger than that eight times bigger in terms of documents and a hundred times bigger in terms of data and already always thing some of the revelations from not being explored so wiki leaks once again showing really that it's still able to do what it does best despite the fact that today in a soldier's fist fight continues we're going to live from moscow and still have for the sour and side ends of power wise plight the impact of a country's president being ousted from power earlier this month spreads across all of lead the america to bring you the opinion of a regional expert. at

a time when many people would argue that the global financial system is on the brink of collapse and that it might be fundamentally flawed it seems that these teenagers from the streets of new delhi have the whole thing figured out. are to explore as a successful model of a far reaching banking system in a very unlikely place the indian shelter for wrong way teenagers. more than one hundred asians supporting the syrian opposition have urged tougher action by the un against president bashar al asad at a meeting in paris the us and its allies called for chapter seven of the un charter to be enacted allowing sanctions and if necessary military intervention in syria and as dinah she can explain to the west backing up the syrian rebels has another conflict. syrian rebels have rejected the peace plan that was put forward by the international community they made it clear that violence would continue so far the coverage of the conflict in syria has been so one sided that it seems the rebels

could get away with anything the media in the us and in the west in general have focused only on what the assad government has been doing almost entirely leaving out the atrocities act of terror committed by the rebels presenting a completely black and white picture but a conflict like the one in syria is never black and white and never simple the slanting of the coverage reminded some of the former yugoslavia before nato went bombing former yugoslavia at the end of the one nine hundred ninety s. the media focused on crimes committed by the serbs completely washing down the atrocities committed against the serbs with me here is jim the director of the american council for casa paul so i thank you very much for joining me thank you what are the similarities you see between what's going on in syria and what has been going on in yugoslavia inform you that there are similarities i would say on all three crucial levels as we look at syria one has to do with the international system the rule of law the role of the security council another one has to do with

the status of sovereign states and how you treat a sovereign state that has an insurgency within its borders and the third thing is what we might call on the ground when you take a complex historical circumstance with communities historic grievances and as you said in your introduction atrocities of violence of that are committed on both sides in conflicts like this and attribute only to one side what you do is you to you you come up with the concept of do you fit the facts into the concept you don't take a step back in good faith look at what's really going on look at the suffering of people on both sides and how in good faith can you who are poor water on the fire to try to calm things down instead would you do as you find a small group are you pour gasoline with words like genocide and so forth and then try to set. the stage for what you really want which is the victory for one side the side you've chosen and the utter destruction of the other side you know and one of the side lights of this in both kosovo and syria is something that's important

to me is the fate of the christian population and why is it that in the name of fighting terrorism and promoting democracy and all this other nonsense the united states always seems to find itself on the side of jihad just elements and gaging and terrorism with the predictable results for the christian population as we saw in kosovo when half of the christian population was a box christian serbs had to flee the province and thousands of them were killed by the liberators the army. i think that there are that i think there are a couple of different explanations for it i think one is our cozy relationship with saudi arabia the gulf states that we want to show we're on the side of our friends who are so important to us when it comes to frankly money and international commerce and i think part of it is fear that we think we can show the jihad is that we are friendly to them and they will not target the united states i think by the way that even in a less dramatic form we're making a similar mistake when it comes to egypt and basically adopting the muslim

brotherhood is our chosen voice of democracy in egypt which is also the same force that stands to benefit in syria if oracle if our policy is successful thank you mr texas we heard it many times the first casualty of war is the truth and we see it happening time and time again the media urge to simplify matters and to eventually push a certain agenda becomes a weapon in itself a weapon which creates victims of its own in washington i'm going to second. she has rebuffed u.s. criticism of what it calls moscow support of the syrian regime saying washington lacks basic understanding of the situation moscow insist it doesn't back and party in a conflict now that's after in the u.s. a theory of state hillary clinton said russia and china must pay a price for blocking a push for regime change in syria political analyst rick ross and believes clinton asked passed a diplomatic line in hair remarks extraordinary she's hardly an impartial actor and

of course actively engaged in efforts to topple the government in syria what she said because of the note of intimidation the rant is a correct word i think to describe represents a new. irresponsible statement like the eight years something to be honest with you i don't remember ever hearing during the very most difficult period of the cold war i should hope that this is a point at which one seriously out of there alive there has been no unilateral lawless reckless behavior by the united states and its allies over the past twelve years the war against iraq libya and all the actions against syria this is perhaps the last stand for defending genuine international law and the sovereignty of nations. well as we are to know your take on all the stories we're covering and today we are asking what you think about u.s. secretary of state hillary clinton slamming russia and china over the syrian crisis

let's take a look at the size vote now so as you surely see. over in fact sixty percent believe the move points to the frustration of the west over the air hampered military drive and over fifteen per se and are sure it undermines the geneva peace accord preventing any joint progress and another fifteen percent think the harsh rhetoric was aimed at securing war public support for president obama well less than the tense of our respondents or of the piñon that the words heart had a point they think russia and china are stalling the peace effort well do us know what you think about this by logging on to our web site r t dot com. but as well as pull its diplomatic staff after being accused by a pair while of meddling in its internal affairs since former president fernando logo was impeached last month blamed for a deadly crackdown on farmers paraguayans neighbors have distanced themselves but

political analyst he believes americans and ones in the region negatively affecting let the america. paraguayans suffered a a coup d'etat literally on the first twenty first of june when it's the democratically elected president for number new goal was ousted in a twenty four hour impeachment trial it must be the fastest impeachment in modern history there are such agencies as us aid the united states agency for international development and it all has a lot of other aspects that spillover outside of paraguay because a pair of wires considered together with bolivia the geo political heartland of south america so american control over power of wife who also limits brazil's exit towards the pacific as a brick country bizzle russia india china and south africa and the united states at the same time is again promoting after the american free trade association with its traditional allies in our region mexico panama colombia peru and chile so we would

serve as a pacific wall against what they consider what the americans consider dangerous brazilian expansion because of the fact that it is not just in the commom ally within the bric countries but very much so even to a certain extent a political or a potential political ally of russia and china's history. well remember there is always more to find at our cars our website and online right now. say and slobber on american products provides his rendition of a popular a hit the latest act of questionable conduct by u.s. forces in afghanistan. sanctioned then scrapped saying that his birth bans a massive gay rally disappointing over a thousand activists who were expected to take to the streets discover the details on our world website.

how is the ideal of multicultural society. sharing the motherland. there hasn't been anything good on t.v. . it is to get the maximum political impact. the source material is what helps keep journalism on the we. we want to present. something you know.

you're watching r t now social media website wants to censor your posts it's aimed at blocking the water the waves are racist and offensive updates but will a compromise the public's freedom of speech the resident is and you work to find out the opinions of people there. twitter is instituting a new policy of blocking posts it deems racist is it ok for social media websites to pick and choose what can and can't be said this week let's talk about that mission pull for a racial thing all right but some people still do. well that's the world we live in so should it be out there for people to see or should twitter take it down trisha take it down so we're free over here in new york we live free but doesn't the racist person live free to post whatever they want but do you have kids do you worry about them being exposed to racist comments. well that's not good

yeah but you can express whatever you want to anyway you should be able to express freedom you may not agree was raised as them but do you agree that people should be able to say what they want not in a social networking site like i know why not this is just going to tell us a people should keep their own comments to themselves but that's the whole point of twitter is reading it out not knowing something way about to be reset it's not ok to use to say whatever you want now the internet you shouldn't just be able to say whatever you want no the us is the real issues though if you write something it doesn't have to be racist even though that the words are sometimes you can write some things that all racist but but the words are not so it depends on the human side how you interpreted it you block the negative in the drama but you're also preventing free speech right there so i guess it's a tossup so is it ok for twitter to decide what stays and goes and says their

company. again they probably have to have a canal it's a company that judges it because who are they to say what their website true true but who are they say what's racist and what's not there do you think twitter hiding that kind of racist content is going to make a difference and help people not be racist or is it racist is just going to process it's going to happen we've changed it not enough it's i think that's their way of preventing some form of cyber bullying but it's not going to change anything whether or not you think it's right for social media companies to censor content on their sites the bottom line is this wouldn't be an issue. people would just be better citizens and doubt be. watching idealism to look at some other stories from around the world in fundamentalist capital a community ransacked and burned a school and western mexico it claims children should be educated by the church

schools as. the devil hundreds to art in setting the building ablaze last august the colony demanded their children be allowed to wear religious robes and stay out of school uniforms. for mania lawmakers overwhelmingly voted to impeach president. the prime minister and the ruling coalition appears him of breaching the constitution and overstepping his authority as asco fell out of favor with the public after passing several rounds of the sturdy cuts he was close to being impeached in two thousand and seven but survived a public vote he faces the next referendum on his removal in three weeks. now a group of kids in a shelter for homeless children in new delhi have a few lessons for the world's international bankers they are saving a brighter future using their very own financial system. has all the details. in this homeless shelter for runaway teens in new delhi a tiny self starting democracy

has sprouted up when they got in and i started going to school which i enjoyed very much. the residents like twelve year old mohammad shah have created an unlikely society where everything from health care to banking has been an initiator implemented and secured by the kids themselves do you have and i got there are children. with their money. and even the children who. gave them the money. so these kumar's peers elected him to be manager of this branch of the children's development because son or treasure that serves around nine thousand. three children across south asia and has seventy seven branches in the region many of the runaway teens now have a place to safe keep their money save for the future and take out development or welfare advances to invest in starting businesses or buying books first school.

bonds that we have taken in advance three times the first five hundred rupees to a boy a school uniform then at zouk another one thousand rupees because my mother was sick and the third saima borrowed some money to help my father open the shop. the kids have a monthly meeting where they review applications for those who wish in advance and then based on their track record of saving and earning they decide who to grant the advances to and how quickly they need to pay it back at a time when many people would argue that the global financial system is on the brink of collapse and that it might be fundamentally flawed it seems that these teenagers from the streets of new delhi have the whole thing figured out they hold everyone from account managers to clients accountable for their financial decisions by i mean i have through meetings and discussions over lunch the children have taught each other how to save and invest in their future. i think if we don't put the money in the bank then we tend to spend on unnecessary things and we see the

money so when we save the money it can be used to do fortune things that may come up in the future but buying you've got a new it's a sense of responsibility and survival that has shocked the supervisors of the shelters and one that they say leaders around the world might want to take a look at it can be the supermodel's in this whole thing because they know how to save money they know how to utilize money for the best because they want to privatized that leaves which we as obvious act of evil in the world know how much shah's hoping that he can save the money he makes selling bottles of water at night to put towards his education so he can one day accomplish his goal. becoming a police man i get to thank you for the future as i want to save money and do something useful with it when the time comes. from the streets of india's capital this runaway teen believes that saving and determination can allow him to achieve his dreams preassure either r.t.
