the border. this is coming to you live from moscow hello and welcome to the program an artillery barrage and multiple killings that all the residents of believers vanny still witnessing twelve months on from the nato bank's revolt which toppled the country's regime and you might find some of the following images disturbing the besieged town traditionally loyal to the ousted warmer gadhafi has been the target of a tongues by pro-government militia over a dozen people including children have been reportedly killed at the end the last three days the city is also suffering from shortages of food water and medicine and . chicken reports of bani walid isn't the only victim of libya's new leaders. a
4:02 am
year after the killing of warmer khadafi not only has the new government of libya made it illegal to criticize the february revolution of last year but a group of malicious affiliated with the country's defense ministry has the shelling parts of the country which were considered khadafi strongholds that bombing it from their home and rockets because they knew when he was one of the towns which stood against the intervention of the outside world in body while the local media report that the strikes have killed around a dozen people including children but apparently the people of bani walid are not the only ones persecuted by various militia groups in libya we saw the total wiping out of the thirty thousand strong town to want to go many are black libyans which the misrata brigades which are also laying siege to bani walid call themselves the brigades for the purging or black skin it's such as a wonderful humanitarian and freedom loving. and discourse that they wiped out the town they've been chasing the people toward the civil war has left libya shredded
4:03 am
in pieces with radical islamists taking advantage of the chaos basically what's happening is that in different cities here we pointed out the main ones tripoli ghazi is in town misrata each of them has their own army of militias they're loosely united as the so-called libyan national shield at the same time they're not really under the control of the new defense ministry they're basically on their own according to various reports most of them are even suspicious of the new government in tripoli on top of that division you also have one hundred forty tribes in the country one hundred forty tribes many of them have long running grievances against each other and they're located very close to each other for example the town of bani walid that we mentioned in the report is not even two hours away from misrata so amid all the food and lawlessness people in those places no anything can happen to them last year coalition forces armed libyans to the t.c. in order to. duffy today the country is flooded with weapons of all kinds and this
4:04 am
they made twenty million weapons are still freely circulating in libya that's in a country of six million people it's roughly three guns per person today there are multiple assassinations around benghazi different parts of libya where people are settling scores of all sorts of stripes it's chaotic forces in libya well those are the weapons of the most that are the agencies not to be just as eager to have tribal or that indeed politics despite the ongoing atrocities and chaos up until this september washington had the revolution in libya check because the foreign policy victory for president obama after all the u.s. provided most of the foreign power which led to the capture and the killing of the libyan leader. yes we came we saw he died. but only after the tragic attack on the u.s.
4:05 am
consulate in benghazi and the murder of the american ambassador did lead to come back into the spotlight it raises the question for the administration why didn't you see this coming if there was intelligence about the growing presence of al qaeda in eastern libya we have an election coming up and no one wants to take blame for messing up the arab spring president obama's most recent remarks suggested that his administration is not finished in libya we are going to find out who did this and we're going to hunt them down because one of the things that i've said throughout my presidency is when folks mess with americans we go after them the obama administration has received congressional approval to allocate money for a special unit reportedly of some five hundred people who will allegedly be training counterterrorism forces in libya also there are anonymous reports that the cia is asking for more drones specifically for libya none of this sounds new drone strikes training forces in foreign nations but past experience has shown when the u.s. goes about cleaning up a mess it often gets even messier in washington i'm going to check on. political

analyst dr abraham says levy is being deliberately pushed into chaos with a gateway open for heavy influx of extremists. the involvement of western countries was the source of trouble for libya as a whole we have seen the state has become this month all as happened in iraq and somalia whatever the nato has walked or you are strips of walk and for those not all of law and libya the whole brought. into libya and now and to syria again the same was done and waldman with the support of both throw dollars from qatar and saudi arabia that is handing the country over to a group of fun out there criminals who are hell bent on blood torture split things throats and what have you bringing the country a buck and to medieval darkness so. we have seen very clearly what these
4:07 am
people are aiming to do they want to punish when there were leads for its stance against the invasion of libya by nato this is a form of collective punishment against the whole population for standing up for their independence and the sovereignty of their country. and the violence and post of all. bahrain justice call for the help of the international community hoping it could pressure the monarchy towards change but and i expect same western self interest will ignore the will of the people. be peace board of directors is reportedly set to confirm the sale of its shares of the joint venture t n k b p to the russian all giant rosneft and it would make the world's biggest listed all produce a big deal when three and more on that from assays piece all over hello there so there's no official confirmation piece again but reports are saying
4:08 am
a deal is effectively done why so much optimism. well all day friday they were locked in the go see both sides would love to negotiations in london was their representatives for. king two to b.p. to try and capture their fifty percent share in t. n. k. b. b. and c. on saturday in russia the these papers promise on to say on their front page that the deal was agreed on friday now what it will see is rosneft take over b.p.'s fifty percent share in t.n. k b just how much that's going to cost though well initially b.p. had said they wanted twenty eight billion dollars for their fifty percent share it seems that they've come to an agreement somewhere around the market seventeen billion dollars in cash and thirteen percent of rosneft stock now this is all part of process plan to try and take over all of t.n. k b p they're currently indication with b.p.'s russian partners a all to buy out the other half of the company if they can do that then ross f.
4:09 am
will become the largest publicly traded oil company in the world but this well the reward without risk in the risk what roles next is taking in buying out ten k. b.p. is that they will incur debts of upwards of sixty billion dollars to put that in a little context that says as much as some european nations have in debt nationally . so it's an awful lot of money there a lot of money in debt that they'll be taking on delta hoping that the oil price remains high so that they can get a good solid return on their investment in terms of b.p. and what that means to them here in russia it's certainly not the end for them they just didn't want to be out of russia they just wanted an end to their partnership in t.n. k b p what they really want is to do business with rolls left and to get a slice of rosneft potentially lucrative oil exploration rights for the arctic so this is all going to continue on for a little bit longer and deals will be done between rosneft and b.p. bobs in the future but when we get confirmation that this is certainly going through
4:10 am
a bring it all here i'll take absolutely thank you so much indeed for that tom de lay's piece on of i thank you very much again. british prime minister david cameron is about to be welcomed home from brussels by now. massive crowds but they all need to be cheery we'll bring you more of the u.k.'s autumn of discontent later on in the program and. i mean if mitt romney wins a movie in canada. that same boat as election day drools near americans prepare for all possible outcomes even a rigged election he's new your president ask the people of the banks on the big apple all day would do little stuff. that's later but now a top lebanese opposition group is demanding the resignation of the country's prime minister saying he is personally responsible for a massive car bombing in the capital beirut eight people including a top security official died in the blast which devastated a christian neighborhood in the city top politicians were quick to put the blame on
4:11 am
the syrian regime the killed official was seen as a hardline opponent of president assigned sunni muslims across the country one here it would last as a nation protests turned violent with gunfire reported in several citizen roads blocked by burning tires and buried based expert on the middle east as the accusations against syria are dictated by politics. already we have the now the political element coming into play are some elements of the march fourteenth movement which is known to be anti bush. even before it was normal who was killed in this explosion they quickly pointed the finger at the syrian government now with the head of been telling security who apparently has a man killed more targeted that is known to be actually a robot for team is known not to be one of the supporters not to be a very very likable person or those who are in government so i think now this would only lead to more and more pingers from march fourteenth i mean from their west and
4:12 am
how is it being pointed at syria is the question which must be raised in all of these cases is a who benefits from such an actor i think you know if the syrian government does go ahead although we don't have any information but if it does go ahead with i think it's only in the during itself and committing suicide. is the syrian government as such is that as to what sort of a government i myself don't see so. the cia is asking the white house for more drones to take its existing squadron they just practice and to keep up the aerial assaults in pakistan yemen ignoring statistics suggesting only one in five of those killed is about sean that it's not.

country it's this is the side that's why we've been victims of the strategic interest. in the rights. the cia has told the white house it will small crimes which could see more controversial u.s. missions by the on monday craft in pakistan despite statistics suggesting eighty percent of those killed in such strikes all civilians and antony chava from the center for advanced different studies believes drones on intelligence. what you see is the president the president president obama white house becoming overreliant on drones one of the things about those with these drones are part of the kill capture program but what we've forgotten is the capture part of the program dead men tell no tales and we've created a dearth of intelligence by the fact we would capture and people were interrogating them that's why you saw a lot of things going on regarding this resurgence of al qaeda troops is
4:22 am
a kind of network was used to our benefit during the soviet occupation is being used against just now because we failed to understand the politics of pakistan and we're starting the results of again good human intelligence will help solve this using drones to chilled mid-level leaders it's not helping us it's creating the next generation of leaders who are more committed to death and destruction united states and our allies much more than the ones we were dealing with before. the u.s. election campaign is in its final phase as the two main candidates bottle to winnow the floating vote as well the race expected to be close also he's resident also new york is if they have any theory is that the fairness of the vote could be compromised. electronic voting machines owned by a company with strong republican ties are set to count the vote in ohio which very well could determine the outcome of the two thousand and twelve u.s. presidential election so is there a chance that mitt romney could steal this election this week let's talk about that
4:23 am
do you think it's possible that mitt romney could steal the election i think it's very possible i think it's close and it's going to come down to the last minute so it's going to be something a little like that that could sway it which is unfortunate. yeah and a lot of people don't even know about it they just think oh well he won so that that yeah what do you do about it all make sure you go vote for brock. and i'll go tweet about her right now also about the people on the street they told me about what i made of mitt romney wins a movie macand a. it's that them that simple one of my ficus told says one day they'd be a third party would win the election no it didn't matter does it matter whether the you know green libertarian conservative whatever just to break the halls of go to court he says yeah and if he's a she that wouldn't be a bad either right so i want to magically say he says no use to that does it concern you that there's things like best in our country in general rove were sure of that kind of thing shouldn't shouldn't really happen. but i guess it does it
4:24 am
happens a lot of places you don't ever find out about you know why don't we find out about this stuff why isn't there more transparency about what's really going on because like you say there's lots of money and whether or not you think romney's going to steal the election the bottom line is those evil voting machines in ohio are owned and operated by a company whose employees have given hundreds of thousands of dollars to the romney campaign so they very well could be determining who wins ohio a state that often determines who wins the election. and we are keeping a close eye on the upcoming u.s. elections on the two top candidates how china will also help provide a surge policy and independent candidates for the stage to have their say in a live televised debate tonight on monday falsies special coverage of the race for the white house. will there be a war on iran china friend or foe is missile defense offensive.
