thank. you. maybe all of this first posted on the lections of it on rests in a country still being torn apart by chaos and tribal tensions. the deadline for joining us on his extradition from the u.k. to sweden expires on saturday but the whistleblower for the mains in the sanctuary of ecuador's embassy awaiting a decision on his asylum plea. and as the u.s. and its allies call for a u.n. resolution to allow military intervention against the syrian government we'll look at the striking pattern of nato tactics in foreign civil conflict. this starting coming to you live from moscow i'm marina joshie welcome to the
4:01 am
program now libyans are having to the polls are 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 and fighting between rival armed groups and as are enough 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 bought to oust moammar gadhafi from power today it is they who are in control ragtag militias who answer only to their own commanders have grown more powerful than the b.s. police and army to be sure which mark we must put limits on these militias because they are dividing the country and they are why libya is falling into decay almost one year after a nato backed uprising ended gadhafi as rule he begins are taking to the polls for
4:02 am
the first time in decades the with tripoli's transitional national council too weak to quell ongoing violence many fear the. elections will do little to bring peace what a good war is the conditional they said that they are going to protect this country and if gadhafi gone there is nothing left he 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 taiwan which still holds libya's most famous prisoner saif al islam when international criminal
4:03 am
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 align 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 during. that is precisely the problem. i don't know. how congress need to forgive and winners in this program so i think. 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 unhappy
4:04 am
with the result libya's armed groups now know what to do next. we are against i'm a dictator. if history repeats itself we will wage a war. and only be held elections the country stop prisoner khadafi 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 saif will get a fair trial in his home country but political commentator luke 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
4:05 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 on the ground bolstered by these indictments in darren's 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 i'm not and 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 had in the nineteen fifties. well the deadline set by the u.k.'s highest court for joining us on his extradition to
4:06 am
sweden runs out on saturday but the whistleblower says you won't leave the safety of the door an embassy in london until a decision on his request for asylum in south america is made our desire for of has more from outside of this 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 of his appeal to the supreme court in the against a sexual assault allegations failed so would have been the day we could have seen julian assange is put on a plane and sent to sweden and of course the big. his legal team have always said is that he would be then. gets in very strict pretrial detention conditions and the overriding fear is that it would make it much easier for him to be extradited
4:07 am
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 support for about seventeen days on a daily vigil we're hearing solitary read a chartreuse 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 started a real sense amongst 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
4:08 am
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 we're seeing 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 so does this continue. tell you what you are to live in moscow so have for in sour and inside into paraguayan. the country's president being ousted from power earlier this month that spreads across latin america i'll bring you the opinion of a regional expert plus. that is when many people would argue that the global
4:09 am
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. as a successful model of a far reaching banking system in a very unlikely place and even shelter for runaway teenagers. more than one hundred nations supporting the syrian opposition have urged the to get 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 next to allowing sanctions and if necessary military intervention in syria. now explains the west backing of the syrian rebels as an act of 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
4:10 am
could get away with anything the media in the us and in the west in general have focused only on what the us 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 hushing 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 similar is 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
4:11 am
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 poor poor water on the fire to try to calm things down instead we 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 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
4:12 am
important to me is the fate of the christian population 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 with a box christian serbs had to flee the province and thousands of them were killed by the liberators the cause why in rishon i mean. i think that there are that 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 and which is also the same force that stands to benefit in syria if our goal in foreign policy is successful
4:13 am
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. on russia has rebuffed us criticism of why because 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 it's after the u.s. secretary of state hillary clinton said russia and china must pay a price for blocking the push for a regime change in syria political analyst rick ross of the leaves clinton asked passed a diplomatic line in her remarks. she's hardly an impartial actor of course actively engaged. with the government in syria so what she said because of the note of intimidation the ground crews are correct were that into this. you know.
4:14 am
irresponsible statement like the eighty's or 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 yes that there are laws 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 are always easier to now 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 so far the majority believe the move points to the frustration of the west over the or hamburg military drive fourteen percent are sure it undermines the geneva of peace accord preventing any joint progress while another fourteen percent think the
4:15 am
harsh rhetoric was aimed at securing more public support for president obama and less than a tan some you are of the opinion that's the words have a point i think russia and china are stalling the peace effort to log on to r.t. dot com to cast your vote. but as whale has told its diplomatic staff after being accused by paraguayan of meddling in its internal affairs since former president fernando logo was impeached last month blamed for a dadley crackdown on farmers paraguayans neighbors have distanced themselves but political analysts advance obuchi believes it's america's influence in the region negatively affecting latin america. pair of wires suffered a coup d'etat literally on the first twenty first of june when it's the democratically elected president for mumble new google was ousted in a twenty four hour impeachment trial it must be the fastest impeachment in modern
4:16 am
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 paraguayan because paraguayans considered together with bolivia the geo political hard in the south america so american control over pair of y. will also limited brazil's exit towards the pacific as a bric countries 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 make within the bric countries but very much so even to a certain extent a political or a potential political ally of russia and china spitzer. remember there is always more to find at r t dot com sell online right now.

4:18 am
you're watching our team social media website once to sansar your posts it's aimed at blocking water believes are racist and offensive updates but will compromise the public's freedom of speech the president is in new york 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
4:19 am
to pick and choose what can and can't be that but this week let's talk about that mission profane racial thing all right but some people still do. but that's 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 will it 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. that that's not good yeah but you can express whatever you want anyway you should be able to express your freedom you may not agree with raised as them but do you agree that people should be able to say what they want not in a social networking site like no why not is just going to tell us the people should keep their own comments to themselves but that's the whole point of twitter is reading it out something way bad to me with 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
4:20 am
want no the risk is 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 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 can as 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 and is going to make 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 yes i think that's their way of preventing some form of cyber bullying but it's not going to change anything
4:21 am
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. a bus crash in ukraine is laughed at least fourteen people dead and twenty two others injured all the passengers on board were a russian the bus was carrying religious believers and 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 virgins he's ministry says some of those injured in the crash will be taken to russia now also to look at some other stories from around the world the fundamental is catholic community ransacked and burned a school in the western mexico it claims children should be educated by the church and see schools as work of the devil hundreds took part in setting the building ablaze last august the calling demanded their children be allowed to wear religious

ropes instead of school uniforms. are made in lawmakers overwhelmingly voted to impeach president. the prime minister and a ruling coalition accuse him of breaching the constitution and overstepping his authority as eskil fell out of favor with the public after passing several rounds of austerity 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. i group of kids in a shelter for homeless children in new delhi have the last few lessons for the world's international bankers they're saving for a brighter future using their very own financial system are just british leader has all the details. in this homeless shelter for runaway teens in new delhi a tiny self starting democracy has sprouted up when 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 i'm sick you did buy the kids themselves do you have when i go there are children who have a job i'm going to pose with their money in our bank and even the children who need to screw save their money. so 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 a place to safe keep their money safe for the future and take out development or welfare advances to invest in starting businesses or buying books first school. bonds that would 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 i try i have through meetings and discussions over lunch the children have taught 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 you tend to spend on unnecessary things and weeks the money so when we save the money it can be used to do fortune things that maybe come up with a future 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 civil war it is in this whole thing because they know how to save money they know how do you want to live money for the best because they want to privatized 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 of 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. but right 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 new delhi india. well brings us up to day here on our team and the reminder of our top stories is coming your way shortly.
