workers are now out on the streets saying that it was syria that was behind the blast in beirut something which the city has seen in this for years now people are saying basically that they want the government to step down the entire government there is a sit in being organized in beirut in front of the parliament people are saying they're going to stay there until the government resigns however this is where it should be mentioned is that the prime minister has filed a petition for his admission to the president by the president refused so we have these acts of protest we have the people who are supporters off the show who are saying that syria is to blame they're also calling for the u.n. peacekeeping forces to come in and line up you know on the border between syria and lebanon and a lot of people at this point already starting to express their worry that the conflict in syria inadvertently or purposefully of course there is some clear at the moment is being spilled into the neighboring country into lebanon. some

lebanese politicians blame syria for the deaths saying these security official killed was a holiday opponent of president assad but political analysts show me no one he in beirut is such a quick allegations of new ground. but it's not very feasible and it wasn't very feasible that. president assad was responsible for the assassination of rafik hariri in two thousand and five either but in lebanon that's not how it plays out you know normal situation people would wait for an investigation to get at least a little bit of evidence on the way for making at these allegations in lebanon political parties jump on the bandwagon and start to use these things to their advantage even if it's one of their own figures who has gone down there doesn't seem to be any interest in me in seeking truth it's all about political advantage and it's unfortunate because it's whipping out exactly these kind of reactions armed reactions on the streets that is not a positive sign for lebanon well for more expert opinion on the possible connection

parts of the country which were considered khadafi strongholds bombing. and rockets because many when he was one of the towns which stood against the intervention of the outside world in body while the local me. a 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 black libyans which the misrata brigades which are also laying siege to bani walid called themselves the brigades for the black screen 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 militias there loosely united as the so-called libyan national shoot 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 maybe all the food and lawlessness people in those places know anything can happen to them last year coalition forces armed to the t.c. in order to oust moammar gadhafi today the country is flooded with weapons of all kinds and this they made it 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. those lethal weapons at the moment they had agencies not to be just as eager to get a tribal without all that background indeed politics despite the ongoing atrocities and chaos up until this september washington had the revolution in libya checked as a 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 that 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 check out. here with a latino if your most can still to come in the program the israeli troops and

all walks of life there are nurses worried about the n.h.s. there are police officers all feed the world worried about cuts the frontline services in amongst the people the marching here today many many families all across the age range feel that they've been affected in some way by the continued cuts my parents rely on the n.h.s. who can see can't get worse my son to stephen he's paying nine grand here in fees i work in the interest sector and regulators being caught so we were very vulnerable people and they won't be able to get the same help from the next year they just protect the rich they protect the interests of the rich i'm a bit of fear in the people who are it through much against the cuts and she's marching for the future situations where. marching to my future is banked now because it's not just britain that's been affected the start because it had a europe wide effects the euro crisis numbers all we see disparity i guess taking great the specially in the last month in spain in greece across the year i say to

people simply saying that they've had enough here in london as we said possibly into the hundreds of thousands maybe even more that have come out here today to march against the austerity. one of the organizers of today's massive protest says britain's decision makers are completely out of touch with the plight of ordinary people i just don't think the government will understand the pain that their cooks and their economic program have been in communities and down the country whether it's public services that you use or value whether it's your job if you worried about the future living standards even those people who work a full on over the last two years people who are head in and the courts where can they not see even in the government's own tends to not work in that deficit is going up because more people are up where the benefits of bill is going up the only way to really reduce the deficit is to get economic growth going again and the googles austerity plan is failing to deliver that can on approach we need to see people back it where investment in jobs investment in communities and their

in the israeli military has seized a boat on route to gaza carrying international activists and humanitarian aid it was the latest attempt to breach the blockade of the palestinian coastal territory imposed by israel five years ago and israeli raid of

a turkish led for tenor in two thousand and ten deaf nine activists dead and sparked international condemnation victoria strand from the firm behind the aid shipment says they'll continue their missions despite forceful israeli action. i also did two thousand and ten slutty i wasn't a swedish weak ship and this was a horrible attack on civilian staff aren't. all people on board are aware of the risk or taking and they are doing it anyhow they are doing that because they want to show their solidarity to other people to people or to the palestinian singles that because of the palestinians also have you are right so if they are human beings they must have the same human rights as other people and so we have to challenge this siege as long as the international community doesn't do so you know w.h.o. to save the children united nation european union everyone says that the siege is

counterproductive but no one is doing anything about it so we have to take civil action against. a new guide to expert etiquette and petersburg is raising eyebrows this somewhat bizarre campaign to promote tolerance is supposed to help those coming to make a living in russia but it's under fire for its migrant stereotypes. or so on the website of the moment out of the picture we report on spain's plans to ban filming photographing the police work. russian oil giant rosneft is a step closer to becoming the world's biggest listed producer the firm's understood to be on the verge of getting the british share of the t.n. k b p joint venture and one of the most expensive industrial deals ever more now from marty's piece of. 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 comus on saturday that it has been done now that deal will see the role

sniffer to find out the fees fifty percent share of the company t 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 fund to eighty percent of gross next stop so this is all part of process fund 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 roll staff will become the largest publicly traded oil company in the world what's this well no reward without risk in the risk what role sniff is taking in buying out a b.p. is that they willing could 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 dell 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 so let me read russia it's certainly not the end for them they just they didn't want to be out of russia they just wanted an end to their partnership in t a k b p what they really want is to do business with rose nest and to get a slice of roles they have to tension 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 when we get confirmation that this is certainly going through a bring it all hey i'll take it still a tough call as to who when the us presidential election hinges on monday's final t.v. debate. whether the contender mitt romney has the chance to pull a key swing state from under president. balm is no use. 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 us presidential election so is there a chance that mitt romney could steal this election this week let's talk about that 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 want to make sure you go vote for brock and. tweet about her right now so much of people on the street they talk about i mean if mitt romney wins i'm moving the canada. it's that simple that simple one of my fist houses one day they'd be a third party would win the election no it didn't matter it doesn't matter where the you know greedy libertarian conservative whatever just to the halls of go to

parties to see and if he's a she that wouldn't be a bad event right so i want to magically say he has no use to that does it concern you that there's things like best in our country in general are sure of that kind of thing shouldn't shouldn't really happen. but i guess it does it happens a lot of places you would never 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 involved 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. special coverage of the battle for the. white house starts on monday bringing even more analysis and there's r.t.e. dotcoms up close section to help you follow the latest events in the run up to the

the whole thing was recorded and put on you tube which we translated for you. now listen now i'm warning you if you keep screwing up like this we'll show you some different treatment if we catch any of you in a nightclub enjoying yourselves the way garani and a boa spotted doing doing all of you hang out all the time will be out of you right there on the sports i mean it so i mean once you've heard that you perhaps can understand why they did on that field decision this image would come out today and state that some of the players are feeling frightened what's more the union for russian players and coaches says it believes the nama classic of its actually encourage fans of getting the signal to fans that it is ok she issued threats to the players in addition to that the incident that took place on friday leaflets were also left at the ground showing the faces of borken on this forum plays in alongside their faces were the words we do not want to charity in the villages anymore it would be noble warnings if you read get rid of so you can say sounds
