finding and say talented in libya thousands of civilians reportedly killed and injured in clashes as pro-government militia pounds a kentucky loyalist town for over two weeks. the assaults khan's exactly a year since nato bombed the former regime from office promising freedom and democracy to libyan people. the russian company and us now if there's one step closer to becoming the world's leading oil producer as the board of b.p. reportedly greenlights one of the biggest ever energy deal. had the car blast in lebanon's capital kills eight people including a top security official violent protester abrupt across the country and politicians

say the syrian conflict is spilling over the border. thank you for joining our t.v. it's saturday with me karen tara while an artillery barrage and multiple killings that's what the residents of libya's bani walid are still witnessing twelve months on from the nato backed revolt which toppled the country's regime in my fund some of the following images disturbing the besieged town traditionally loyal to the ousted moammar gadhafi has been the target of attacks pro-government militia over a dozen people including children have reportedly been killed there in the last three days the city is also suffering from shortages of food water and medicine and as artie's got education reports of bani walid isn't the only victim of libya's new leaders. a year after the killing of warmer khadafi not only has the new governor.

don't leave immediately illegal to criticize the february revolution of last year but a group of militias affiliated with the country's defense ministry is the shelling parts of the country which are considered khadafi strongholds that bombing it from the air and rockets because then you would need 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 poaching or black skin it's such as that 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 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 is in town misrata each of them has their own army of their 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 we 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 i mean 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 oust moammar gadhafi today the country is flooded with weapons of all. and this they made twenty million weapons are still freely circulating in libya and 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 all sorts of stripes it's chaotic forces in libya well those are the weapons of the most they have the chance is not to be just as eager to be tribal without all that the 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 legal leaders. yes we came we saw he died. but only after the tragic attack on the u.s.

consulate in benghazi and the murder of the american ambassador did leave you 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. political analyst after abraham says libya has been deliberately pushed into chaos they gave way open for a heavy influx of extremists the involvement of western countries was the source of trouble for libya as a whole we have seen that the state has become dismantled as happened in iraq and somalia whatever the nato has walked and or u.s. troops of walked and in fact there is not all of law and libya who brought an al qaida into libya and now into syria again it's the same western involvement with the support of but through 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 on bloodshed torture a slitting throats and what have you bringing the country back and to medieval

darkness so. we have seen very clearly what these people are aiming to do they want to punish when they will leave 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 the end of pendants and the sovereignty of their country. on the violence and post revolt libya is being echoed in bahrain protesters call for the help of the international community hoping it could pressure the mother change that some experts think western interest nor the will of the people. babies board of directors are reportedly set to confirm the sale of its shares to the joint venture t n t a ten k. rather b.p. to the russian oil giant or us now it would make the world's biggest list of all producer if the deal went through more on that from our peter oliver. well it's

a deal it's been a long time in the coming and it would seem according to the front page of russian newspaper comments on saturday that it has been done now that deal will see role sniffed the buyouts b.p.'s fifty percent share of the company t.i.n.k. b.p. 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 gross next stock this is all part of gross a 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 left will become the largest publicly traded oil company in the world but there's no reward without risk in the risk what role snifters taking. buying out 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 and that's nationally. so it's an awful lot of money there a lot of money in debt that they'll be taking on they'll be 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 for 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 well they really want is to do business with roads they have to get a slice of roads they have to take lucrative oil exploration rights for the arctic so this is all going to continue on for a little bit longer deals will be done between roles they have to be bob's in the future but it when we get confirmation that this is certainly going through bring it all the old all to massive crowds gather in london as british prime minister david cameron returns home from the summit but they are likely to be cheering him on we bring you more on the u.k. is all of them of discontent later on in the program plus. i mean it may romney way

in the movie we can't. get that then by that same boat as election day draws near americans prepare for all possible outcomes even break to election parties new york residents asks the people of the big apple what they would do if their vote was stolen. a top lebanese opposition group is demanding the resignation of the country's prime minister saying he's personally responsible for a massive car bombing in the capital beirut at least 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 the syrian regime as they killed official was seen as a hardline opponent of president assad sunni muslims all across the country were infuriated with the assassination their protests turned violent with gunfire reported in several cities and roads blocked by burning tires a beirut based expert on the middle east says the accusations against syria are

dictated by politics. already we have the now the political element coming into play some elements of the march fourteenth movement which is known to be patented. even before it was known that there was killed in this explosion very quickly pointed the finger at the syrian government now we saw a house on the head of bin laden security who up. only has me killed more targeted that is known to be actually robot fourteen is known not to be one of the supporters about to be a very very likable person and all those who are in government so i think now this would only lead to more and more pain because from march fourteenth i'm from there west and 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 act 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 these acts i think it's only in the during itself in committing suicide so it is is the

syrian government as such is it a suicidal government i myself don't see so. coming up for you later in the program playing a dangerous game masked man opened fire at the footballers of a top russian team fortunately using paintball guns and dropping leaflets making sinister threats that's in a few minutes to stay with us. flying north with me in this old soviet work or so the helicopter is doctors landed near brodsky and his team from the region's medical aviation service we head across ever more barren tundra higher and higher into russia's arctic far north until eventually we see our landing spot with arrive at this tiny village after costing hundreds of kilometers of snow we will do this as a boy here suffering from favre and the doctors are going to see what they can do.

exaggerate or make up health problems and use the helicopters as a free taxi service accusations that a man firmly dismisses it barrelled that is not true usually the calls are perfectly justified sometimes we even reproach locals for waiting too long before calling us he's been working as a doctor now for forty three years but let him it was confident that even after he retires his helicopter doctors will remain a lifeline to the peoples of the russian far north. mission free accreditation free transport charges free. range and free risk free studio time free. download free broadcast quality video for your media projects and free media down

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 deal with this election this week let's talk about that do you think it's possible that mitt romney could feel 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 but. a lot of people don't even know about it they just think oh well he won so that. yeah what do you do about it all makes. about a right now it's there most people on the street they talk about. i mean if mitt romney wins i'm moving to canada. is that then that simple one of my fittest houses one day they'd be a third party would win the election no it didn't matter does it matter whether the
