two am in moscow i match reza good to have you with us here on r t our top story the libyan army and loyalist militias are readying for the final assault on the city of bani walid where supporters of the old regime have been under siege for more than two weeks the deadly battle comes a year after the capture and death of longtime leader moammar gadhafi and the nato military campaign just to warn you some of the images we're about to show you are graphic more than a dozen people including children have been killed many more injured in attacks and during the blockade residents say they're short on food medicine and water turmoil in bali rai it is seen as one sign of continuing disarray that's reigned in libya since the western backed revolt as artie's. reports. a 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 militias affiliated with the country's defense ministry is the shelling parts of the country which were considered khadafi strongholds that bombing from

the air and rockets because 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 purging or black scheme it's such as a wonderful humanitarian and freedom lobbying. and discourse that they wiped out the town they've been tracing 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're pointed out the main ones tripoli is in town and misrata each of them has their own army of militias there

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 to the t.c. . to oust moammar gadhafi today the country is flooded with weapons of all kinds and this 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 they have the agencies not just as even up to the tribal without all 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 league and 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. it often gets even messier in washington i'm going to check out. middle east political analyst dan glazebrook thinks even if the libyan army succeeds in the siege and gadhafi supporters are overpowered the country may still spiral into more chaos bani walid has managed to keep the militias the armed

gangs roaming around with impunity around the rest of libya they've managed to keep them out so far and as a result have been free from a lot of the the massacres and the terror around the rest of libya the involvement of these are militias if they do manage to storm into finding really and take control there as well will actually represent the end of this relative period of stability and calm in bani walid and i was going to make that worse is the massive this this chaos has been used as cover to implement a massive program privatization even health education and public transport are all going to be sold off to the precisely to the foreign interests who are responsible for the devastation of the country alongside the fact that we've still got these rival militias fighting it out and troll and that the central government clearly seems devoid of all of thirty. there's been scuffles between police and protesters in central london after a huge march against austerity measures tens of thousands of people took to the

streets of the british capital in anger against painful cuts being forced upon them prime minister david cameron recently warned of more tough decisions to come for the struggling economy or he sorrow for those among the crowds. thousands of people have taken to the streets of london today and announce he'll start the much older lies by the trade unions public. many people have turned out that message is against the cuts they say have flatlined the economy now there are people from all walks of life there are no this is worried about the n.h.s. there are police officers all fiji room worried about cuts the frontline services in amongst the people you see marching hits day 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. you can see cars getting worse my son's a steven he's paying the fees i work in the legal aid is being caught so we won't

be three hundred people and i won't be able to get the same house for my next year they just protect the rich they protect the interest of the rich and they build out fear in the people who are it really much you can make cuts and she's not sure but the future situations where you. launching say my future is banked now because it's not just person that's been affected the start because if you're employed at the euro crisis rumbles all we see will start taking great the specially in the last month in spain in greece all across the usa the people simply saying that they've had enough here in london as we said possibly into the hundreds and thousands maybe even more that come out here today to march against the austerity. one of the organizers of saturday's massive protests is britain's decision makers are completely out of touch with the plight of ordinary people. i just don't think the stuns the pain that the cult and their economic program have been in communities and down the. public services that you use will buy you whether it's your job that

you worried about the future living standards even those people who work a full on over the last two years people are hesitant on the cool to work and they're not even in the government's own tens they're not wiccan that deficit is go with it because more people are up with the benefits that bill is going on the only way to really reduce the deficit is to get economic growth going again and the goodness austerity plan is failing to deliver economic growth we need to see people buffett with investments in jobs investments in communities and the government lease it swallow its pride and go for plan b. because plan a just isn't working and i think we're going to see lots of different forms of protest people come pain into local communities open down the contains some cases that will mean people taken into lunch and. will stay with us here on our t.v. still to come this hour. now listen now. i'm warning you if you keep screwing up like this we'll show you some different treatment a channel the chilling warning for some top flight footballers sinister threats and

not bomb secular regimes in other countries like libya so that some fanatical wackos come to power that would help way more than robotic spy fish i hear are a lot of people talk about personal responsibility in a lot of speeches and yes personal responsibility is a key component of the american way slit people provide for their own defense what is going to protect you more a shotgun under the bed or terminator two so homeland security can of tuna right but i should my being. used today violence is once again flared up. these are the images the world from the street can do that. showing corporations are rude to

get. it was the strangest attempt to take on. the u.s. president trying to overthrow a foreign country's government but his strategic. and america recognized its defeat. steve cuba to cope with. the cuban missile crisis. mission. couldn't take three. three. three. three. three.

three. videos for your media projects and free media. tom. thanks for staying with us here on our team thirteen minutes past the hour now russian oil giant rosneft as a step closer toward 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 archy's peter all over. it's a deal it's been a long time in the coming it would seem according to the front page of russian newspaper comments on saturday that it was being done now that deal will see

sniffed the buyouts b.p.'s fifty percent share of the company. hey b.p. just how much that's going to cost though well initially b.p. had said they wanted twenty eight billion dollars fifty percent share it seems that they've come to an agreement somewhere around the market seventeen billion dollars in cash and to eighty percent of gross net stuff now this is old politics fun to try and take all of ten k. be the 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 but this no reward without risk in the risk what role sniffed is taking. by how to be paid is that they willing could debts of upwards of sixty billion dollars to put that in a little context not says as much as some european nations have been nationally. so

it's an awful lot of money their money in debt that they'll be taking on hoping that the oil price remains high so that they can get a good solid written 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 a k b p what they really want is to do business with rose nest and to get a slice of the tension 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 roles and have to be bobs in the future but when we get compensation at this is certainly going through a bring it all. turning to the middle east now gunshots echoed in beirut where protests triggered by the death of a top security official in friday's car bombing in the capital range on what some were always having turned violent to people reportedly injured after the army opened fire in one of the roads kwok him blocked with burning tires the opposition's call for an indefinite strike and for the government to be dissolved

our correspondent in the region arena go lucia go has more. we have protests all over the country essentially last night and they continued this afternoon there was a huge gathering at the capital beirut but that's of course not the only place where people are protesting their browser thing and other towns as well they're blocking roads they're burning tires back to the reason for this and rest of them all the people were killed on friday atop a police official who was known for his severe anti syrian stance thousands of workers are now out on the streets saying that he was syria that was behind the blast in beirut something which the city hasn't 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 killed officials 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 levanon. some lebanese politicians blame syria for the deadly blast saying the security official killed was a hard line opponent of president assad political analyst sharmeen norwan you though in be reduced skeptical of the allegations. but it's not very feasible and it wasn't very feasible that. the 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 situations people would wait for an

investigation to get at least a little bit of evidence on the way before 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's gone down there doesn't seem to be any interest in 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 for more expert opinion on the possible link between the lebanon blast and the conflict in syria going over to our team with more video and analysis there you can voice your opinion on who you think could be behind in our online discussion. of us all on a route to gaza has been diverted to the israeli port of ashdod with thirty anti blockade activists taken to a detention center there israeli defense forces claim the ship had no humanitarian aid aboard a series of attempts to reach the palestinian enclave have been prevented by the
