media hold first posted off the elections amid unrest in a country still being torn apart by chaos and tribal tensions. deadline for joining us on just extradition from the u.k. to sweden expires on saturday but the whistleblower remains in the sanctuary of ecuador's embassy awaiting a decision on his asylum plea. as the u.s. and its allies call for a u.n. resolution to allow military intervention against the syrian government be a look at the striking pattern of nato tactics and born civil conflicts. in the russian capital you watching r t i'm marina josh welcome to the program and
2:01 am
leave me as are heading to the polls in the first national election since water khadafi was forced out and killed but the lead up to the vote has been marred with tribal clashes infighting between rival armed groups as are often have now reports there are fears the elections will do nothing to stop the violence. 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. which mark we must put limits on these militias because they are dividing the country there while libya is falling into decay almost one year after a nato backed uprising ended gadhafi is rule libyans are taking to the polls for
2:02 am
the first time in decades the with tripoli's transitional national council too weak to quell ongoing violence many fear that elections will do little to bring peace what is good where is the transitional council which they said that they are going to protect this country with gadhafi gone there is nothing left they said that libya will have national unity where is it. here is what libyan style democracy looks like armed groups calling for more autonomy stormed a polling station last sunday setting voting lists and ballots ablaze renewed 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 ins in taun which
2:03 am
still holds libya's most famous prisoner saif al islam 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 that could deep in existing divisions secularists islamicists even former members of al qaida are among the nearly four thousand people vying 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 times and when you're going to. says i think this is. millions of and 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
2:04 am
growing dangerously blurred whatever the outcome one thing is certain if unhappy with the result libya's armed groups now know what to do next. we are against i'm the dictator but if history repeats itself we will wage a war. of moscow. and as libya holds elections the country's top prisoner khadafi son saif al islam awaits trial and international criminal court lawyer who was part of a group detained for alleged spying and layer released this week what believes there is no chance saif will get a fair trial in his home country but political commentator a 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 libya really has come around as a result of the western intervention in the uprising of which the i.c.c. was very much a part of the r.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
2:05 am
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 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 city state set up that we have in the nineteen fifties now the
2:06 am
deadline set by the u.k.'s highest court for julian assange on his extradition to sweden runs out on saturday by the whistleblower says he won't leave the safety of the ecuadorian embassy in london until a decision on his request for asylum in south america is made i do sarah first has more from outside of sandra's 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 all of his appeal to the supreme court in the against a sexual assault allegations failed so it would have been the day we could have seen julian assange put on a plane and sent to sweden and of course the big. legal team have always said is that he would be then. gets in very strict free trial detention conditions and the
2:07 am
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 dramatic step to seek asylum and you can see here today a number of his supporters still keeping vigil outside the ecuadorian embassy for the banners of the poor for about seventeen days on a daily vigil we're hearing solidarity with the seans years of war resister an all star standing with the ecuadorian people in the heart that i might be right decision which is to offer the guy short of a real sense among his supporters 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
2:08 am
group say that they have that they 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. of weeks the last big leak of course the u.s. diplomatic cables cable guy 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 we think some of the revelations from not being explored so wiki leaks once again showing really that it is still able to do what it does best despite the fact that today in a phone does. continue. what you are to live from moscow still have for you this hour an insight into paraguayans plight the impact of the country's president being ousted from power earlier this month spreads across latin america we bring you the
2:09 am
opinion of a regional expert plots. 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. party stores a successful model of a far reaching banking system and a very unlikely place an indian shelter for runaway teenagers. well that's coming to you later the program before the more than one hundred nations supporting the syrian opposition have urged tougher action by the u.n. against president bashar asad at a meeting in paris the u.s. and its allies called for chapter seven of the u.n. charter to be enacted allowing a comic sanctions and if necessary military intervention in syria as i. am now explained the west backing of the syrian rebels has eco's of another conflict. syrian rebels have rejected the peace plan that was put forward by the
2:10 am
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 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 former yugoslavia before nato when 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 had been going on in yugoslavia informing you that there are similarities i would say
2:11 am
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 as you said in your introduction atrocities and 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 pour water on the fire to try to calm things down instead would you do as you find a smoldering fire you pour gasoline on it with words like genocide and so forth and then try to set. the stage for what you really want which is a victory for one side the side you've chosen and the utter destruction of the
2:12 am
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 is to elements engaging in terrorism with the predictable results for the christian population as we saw in kosovo when half the christian population was a box christian serbs had two three the province and thousands of them they were killed by the liberators the cooperation i mean. i think that there are i think there are a couple 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 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
2:13 am
that stands to benefit in syria if foreign 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 check on. russia has a u.s. criticism of why it calls moscow support of the syrian regime saying washington lacks basic understanding of the situation moscow insists it doesn't back any part of the conflict that's after the u.s. secretary of state hillary clinton said russia and china must pay a price for blocking a push for a regime change on and syria political analyst rick ross of clinton has just passed a diplomat. wind in her remarks. reform jews are an impartial actor
2:14 am
in the us of course actively engaged. with the government in syria so what she said because of the note of intimidation the ground crews are correct we're going to do this for. reasons of new you know. you're responsible statesman like the editors on thing 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 you know stood there all along there is 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 we're always eager to know your take on all the stories we're covering so today we're asking what do you think about u.s. secretary of state hillary clinton slamming russia and china over the syrian crisis well so far over sixty percent believe the move points to the frustration of the
2:15 am
west over their hand for a military drive as you can see just over fifteen percent are sure it undermines the geneva peace accord preventing any joint progress by another fifteen percent saying the harsh rhetoric was aimed at securing more public support for president obama well less than a handful of you are of the opinion that the words had a point they think russia and china are stalling the peace effort so we're going to argue dot com and cast your vote. but israel has pulled its diplomatic staff after being accused by a parent why of meddling and its internal affairs says former president fernando logo was impeached last month blamed for a deadly crackdown on farmers neighbors have distanced themselves but political analysts believe as america's influence in the region negatively affecting latin america. paraguayans suffered a a coup d'etat literally on the first twenty first of june when its democratically
2:16 am
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 the paraguay because paraguayans considered together with bolivia the geo political hard in the south america so american control over power of wife who also limited brazil's exit towards the pacific as a brick country brazil russia india china and south africa and the united states at the same time is again promoting after that we 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
2:17 am
a potential political ally of russia and china are supposed to. now remember there is always more to find energy dot com online bright now. and slaughter an american pilot provides windisch and other popular hits the latest act of questionable conduct by u.s. forces in afghanistan. sanctioned dance grab say that is very bad as a massive gay rally disappointing over a thousand activists who were inspected take to the streets discover the details on our website.
2:18 am
2:19 am
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 bad but this week let's talk about that mission profane racist thing all right but some people still do. with us the world we live in so should it be out there for people to see or should twitter take it down twitter should take it down so we live free over here in new york where 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. was that that's not good yeah but you can express whatever you want anyway you should be able to express your freedom yeah you might not agree with raised this 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
2:20 am
a people should keep their own comments to themselves but that's the whole point of twitter is reading it out something way about what it was that's what 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 says the races 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 are racist 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 racism what's not there do you think twitter hiding the bat. kind of racist content is going to make
2:21 am
a difference and help people not be racist or is it racist is just going to persist it's going to happen we've changed it not enough yeah 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 if people would just be better citizens and doubt being raised. a bus crash in ukraine has left at least fifteen people dead and fifteen others injured all the passengers on board were russian the bus was carrying religious believers on a trip around some local sacred sites the accident happened at half past six in the morning when the driver reportedly lost control and the vehicle flipped over the emergencies ministry says some of those injured in the crash will be taken to russia. taking a look at some other stories from around the world

a fundamentalist catholic community and sack them burn a school in western mexico it claims children should be educated by the church and sees a schools of work of the devil hundred took part in setting the building in place last august holy to man of the earth children be allowed to wear religious robes instead of school uniforms. romanian lawmakers overwhelmingly voted to impeach president try and possess go the prime minister and ruling coalition accuse him of breaching the constitution and overstepping his authority as asco fell out of favor with the public after passing several rounds of hysteria 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. and. a group of kids in a shelter for homeless children in new delhi have a few lessons for the world's international bankers they're saving for
2:23 am
a brighter future using their very own financial system. as all the details. in this homeless shelter for runaway teens in new delhi a tiny cell starting democracy has sprouted up when they double so they took me 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 initiated implemented sick you did by the kids themselves do you have when i go there are children who have a job i'm going to pose with their money. and even the children who need to screw save their money. says these kumar's peers elected him to be bank manager of this branch of the children's development because son or treasure that serves around nine thousand street children across southeast asia and has seventy seven branches in the region many of the runaway teens now have
2:24 am
a place to safe keep their money safe for the future and to take out development or welfare advances to invest in starting businesses or buying books first school. they have taken in advance three times the first time a five hundred rupees to boy a school uniform then at zouk another one thousand rupees because my mother was sick and the third so i'm a 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 i try i have through meetings and discussions over lunch the children have taught
2:25 am
each other how to save and invest in their future. i think it's 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 important things that may come up in the future like buying new clothes but 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 again we want to use in this whole thing because they know how to save money they know how do you want to live as money for the best because they privatized that leaves which we as obvious act of evil. know how many shows 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 of becoming a police man. i'm thinking for the future as i want to save money and do something
