all of his first post could offer you actions a bit of rest 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 by the whistleblower remains in the sanctuary of ecuador's embassy awaiting a decision on his asylum. as the u.s. and its allies call for a u.n. resolution to allow military intervention against the syrian government will look at the striking pattern of nato tactics in foreign civil conflicts. at least forty six people have been killed in floods after torrential rains swept through southern russia taking local residents by surprise.

this is r.t. coming to life from moscow one pm here at a marina josh libyans are heading to the polls in the first national election since mama khadafi was forced out and killed by the lead up to the vote has been marred with tribal clashes and fighting between rival armed groups as are 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 too are countless armed groups they once fought to oust moammar gadhafi from power today it is day who are in control ragtag 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 be. they're dividing the country. into decay

almost one year after a nato backed uprising his rule libyans are taking to the polls for the first time in decades but with tripoli's transitional national council too weak to quell ongoing violence many fear that elections will do little to bring peace. where is the transitional council 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 thailand 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 align with various political parties a dangerous trend that could deep in existing divisions secularists islamised 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 for some that is precisely the problem this is because of their own i don't know. how congress may give the good things no winners and. this is i think. you can you know 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 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. feel guilty. and hold elections the country stop prisoner qaddafi son saif al islam awaits trial and international criminal court lawyer who was part of a group detained for alleged spying in a layer released this week believes there is no chance saif will get a fair trial and his home country but political commentator luke samuel says that the i.c.c. is part of the reason we be as lost 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 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 thora t. 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 the deadline set by the u.k. is highest court for joining us sanjay is extradition to sweden runs out on saturday but the whistleblower says he 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 her first has more from outside a sound just 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 would have been the day we could have seen julian assange is put on a plane and sent over to sweden and of course the big. his 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 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 you've got the banners of support for about seventeen days on a daily vigil we're hearing solitary really saunters a 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 short of 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 is 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 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 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 the duty in a soldier's fist fight continues where you are tonight you live from moscow still have for you the sour and inside and to paralyze flight the impact of a country's president being ousted from power earlier this month spreads across

latin america would bring you the opinion of a regional expert plus. 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. is a successful model of a far reaching banking system in a very unlikely place and indian shelter for runaway teenagers. more than one hundred nations supporting the syrian opposition have urged tougher action by the un against president bashar asad at a meeting in paris the us and its allies called for chapter seven of the un charter to be enacted allowing you to nomics sanctions and if necessary military intervention in syria as you can explain west backing of the syrian rebels as 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 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 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 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 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 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 and 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 would you do if 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 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 engaging in terrorism with the predictable results for the christian population as we saw in kosovo when half the christian population with adox christian serbs had to flee the province and thousands of them were killed by the liberators the cause why in rishon army. i think that there are 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 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 our goal in 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 happen 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. russia has rebuffed u.s. criticism of what it calls moscow's support of the syrian regime saying washington lacks basic understanding of the situation now moscow insists it doesn't back any party in the conflict that's hafter or the u.s. secretary of state hillary clinton said russia and china must pay a price for blocking the push for change and syria oil analyst rick ross of believes clinton has passed a diplomatic line in her remarks an extraordinary is hardly an impartial actor of

course actively engaged in efforts to prop up the government in syria what she said because of the note of intimidation the ramp is a marker that into the story represents a new. irresponsible statement like the editors 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 of 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 now the actions against syria this is perhaps the last stand for defending genuine international law and the sovereignty of nations. well 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 this year in

crisis well let's now take a look at the side both so so far the majority believes a move points to the frustration of the west over the earth military drive fifteen percent are sure it undermines the geneva of peace accord preventing any joint program while fourteen percent think the harsh rhetoric was aimed at securing the war public support for president obama less than a tan their views are of the opinion that the words had a point they think russia and china are stalling the peace efforts or do us know what do you think by logging onto our. at least fifty people have been killed after severe flooding caused by tarantula rains hit russia's southern cross nadar region dozens have been injured with widespread structural destruction across the popular resort area well our teams are going to lose good joins us live for more. all right i want to take us through what's happening there and why have

the conditions claimed so many victims well of course we're looking at a staggering number of people especially if you consider that all of these victims have actually appeared overnight you had several months worth of rainfall happening just overnight and of course you have to keep in mind that we're talking about one of the most popular holiday resorts in the whole of the regions in russia so a lot of people flock to the cross and our region a lot of campers are camping out on the seaside and that is part of the reason why they had basically deaths there have been reports that some of the campers have actually been washed all into the sea by the flash floods of course there also have been reports of people being electrocuted again you have to remember nobody was prepared for the events to take such a dramatic turn also there are we are getting reports that bodies of people are actually being followed along side the freeways as state of emergency of emergency has been declared in some parts of the region we do know that tens of thousands of

people are being left without electricity at the moment and this is serious and does not seem as if it's getting any better the rains are still continuing and of course there will be more as we get it absolutely thanks for much indeed and we're monitoring the situation there as you said or english go reporting there. to other stories that we're following for a year on our team as well has pulled its diplomatic staff after being accused by paraguayan of meddling and its internal affairs since former president fernando lugo was impeached last month blamed for dadley crackdown on farmers paraguayans neighbors have distanced themselves by political analyst and believe it's america's influence in the region now usually effecting let in america. paraguayans suffered a a coup d'etat literally on the first twenty first of june when its 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 paralyzed considered together with bolivia the geo political heartland of south america so american control over power of wife will 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 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 spitzer. well remember there's

lawmakers overwhelmingly voted to impeach president the prime minister and the 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 astaire he cuts he was close to being impeached in two thousand and seven but survived a public vote he faces the next referendum on his record in three weeks. all social media web side wants to censor your post it's aimed at blocking what it believes are racist and of fans of date but will it compromise the public's freedom of speech the resident is a 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 to pick and choose what can and can't be said this week let's talk about that. a

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 we're 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. well that's not good yeah but you can express whatever you want anyway you should be able to express 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 trying to tell us that people should keep their own comments of themselves but that's the whole point of twitter is reading it out something way about to be reset to a way that 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 risk is the races though if

you write something 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 again 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 are hiding the bad kind of. racist and is going to make a difference and help people not be racist or is it racist is is just going to process it's going to happen we've changed but not enough yes 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 stop being raised. a group of kids in a shelter for homeless children in new delhi have a few lessons for the world international bankers they're saving for a brighter future using their very own financial system our disgraced leader has all the details. in this homeless shelter for runaway teens in new delhi a tiny cell 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 initiated implemented and sick you did by the kids themselves do you have and i go there are children who have a job with their money. and even the children who save their money.

so these kumar's peers elected him to be a bank manager of this branch of the children's development because son or treasure that serves around nine thousand street 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 safe for the future and take out development or welfare advances to invest in starting businesses or buying books first school. i have taken in advance three times the first five hundred rupees to boy a school uniform. another one thousand because my mother was sick and the third saima borrowed 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 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 you tend to spend on a missionary things and we spend money so when you receive the money it can be used to do fortune things that make sure. you get 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 it can be the civil war it is in this whole thing because they know how to save money they know how to utilize money for the best because they

privatized that leaves which we as an act of evil in the. 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 limit of what's gone on thank you for the future as i want to save money and do something useful with it and when the time comes. 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. on ramp up of our top stories is coming your way in. a few minutes stay with us.
