marget why not. find out what's really happening to the global economy is really large on r g. logos in the besieged libyan opposition stronghold bani walid lead to the international community for help but russia's attempts to stop the slaughter assaulted by the us. sidelined by the mainstream media and far from buggering in between obama and romney the other candidates for the u.s. presidency get their voices heard right there or not see. the four alternative candidates raise the issues that were not even touched upon in the debates between mitt romney and barack obama more on that coming up. on the island of austerity keeps boiling in spain pushing dozens to the streets of big government malls

shopping more confident in next year's budget. international news live from moscow this is on c with me. and welcome to the program this is haitian and bani walid the last bastion of colonel gadhafi supporters in libya is said to be fast approaching to a humanitarian catastrophe also briberies to the city reportedly shelled by gas filled bombs remain cutoff leaving locals crying out for international rescue middle east correspondent want to see a report you may find some of the pictures disturbing. the siege of bani walid has been on the go for almost three weeks now and in the last week alone dozens of people have been killed and injured in the clashes between pro-government forces and bani walid fighters there are reports circulating that quoting
1:02 am
a libyan militia leader who says that the situation is under control and that the city has been cleared of gadhafi loyalists we are hearing the opposite from our sources on the ground they say that the situation is deteriorating by the minute we've also been receiving as of yet verified photographs and videos that show did dismembered bodies as well as slain children and also the alleged use of chemical weapons when we are hearing from doctors on the scene as well as i witness on the ground that many people are suffering from toxic gas poisoning and this doesn't line up with as of yet unconfirmed reports we've been receiving of the gas shells being fired at the local population using machinery. you. know. guys are going to just a few people. would know you want to know one of.
1:03 am
our family. is going to make. work that. no one. limited. well for many libyans since the former libyan leader moammar gadhafi was slain their lives have not changed anything for some it has deteriorated we are hearing from a number of people on the ground who say that for all his faults the one thing that gadhafi did bring the country was stability and there are a lot in parallels that are not been made between his regime and the current reign gadhafi for example was charged with using chemical weapons we are hearing the same kind of charges being made at the ruling regime at the same time. duffy was embroiled in mass executions we've been hearing from human rights watch of exposé days of atrocities as well as war crimes that have been carried out separate to this we're also hearing reports of double standards from many in the international
1:04 am
community people saying that on the one hand the west is quick to criticize the regime of the syrian president bashar assad like they did with that of gadhafi but when you see the same kind of atrocities being carried out now in bani walid the international community is quiet so this is raising alarm bells. russia's diplomatic efforts to end the bloodshed in bani walid remain deadlocked with the u.n. you as a blocking draft proposal for a peaceful resolution of the u.n. security council the details now from new york correspondent arena part. the u.s. and western countries did not back the russian drafted press statement they said that they were they cited the need for further consultations now the russian envoy to the un to tell the churkin says in the aftermath of last month's deadly attack in benghazi that killed four americans it's quite surprising that the u.s. would be blocking a statement that is condemning the use of violence in dealing with libya's
1:05 am
political problems. says it's very strange and the behavior of the u.s. delegation with respect to the russian trough press statement in this situation is hard to rationally explain now this russian security council press statement on bani walid expressed grave concern about the escalation of violence in and around the city particularly the reports of growing civilian casualties including children the statement also called the living authorities to take urgent steps to resolve the conflict by peaceful means and to preserve the rights of all libyan citizens in the statement also stressed the need to promote national reconciliation inclusive political dialogue in libya it was quite surprising to many of us journalists that were at the u.n. stakeout to find that there was no agreement made on this this russian draft press statement that essentially condemns this violence violence that began in the
1:06 am
beginning of october and we see is escalating but these conversations will clearly continue in the days to come. freeman from the news magazine executive intelligence review believes an unstable between washington and its comes right from the beginning. the ambassador from russia made a perfectly reasonable proposal to quiet down the violence and he would expect that the united states as a superpower would respond in a rational manner the problem is that president obama and his un envoy susan rice they're they're not interested in developing peace in libya and in the whole middle east area and therefore they're going to repeat or any moves that the russians make that would tend to quiet the situation down and they're working with elements of qaeda in libya and in syria and in fact they work with the very elements of al-qaeda that are in
1:07 am
a rather he says nation who are masters so they're not looking for peace they're going to try to escalate the situation in syria now it's going into lebanon in libya and we could lead to one step there after another to a bigger confrontation. while the general between barack obama and me trinity is still is the limelight and the u.s. third party candidates for the presidency barely get a mention but this channel has offered them a platform by broadcasting a live debate between the times have names on november's ballots get an extra count has been listening in. the four candidates who were debating this tuesday night in chicago did raise a number of issues that never were never even touched upon in the debates between mitt romney and barack obama there was a lot of critique of course they discussed money in politics their claim is that washington was bought and paid for by special interests they discussed the indefinite detention of americans an act that president obama his son into
1:08 am
something the two party candidates never talked about during a major debates and here is joel stein's with marks on the issues she's the nominee from the green party. it's a new trend on the trail it's our civil liberties the president has assumed dictatorial rights to put us in prison at his leisure without charge her with trial we're going to find ourselves with the continued heightened police state in this country we're going to find ourselves continuing to militarily intervene in the world which results as resulted in hundreds of millions of enemies to this country that wouldn't otherwise exist we know the republican democrats some differences but both of them move more into a movie true square produced and. force that has betrayed. human and civil rights well among other things
1:09 am
a sweeping powers of the patriot act also something that you don't hear much about in the mainstream media crackdown on whistleblowers by the obama administration and of course the military judging by their remarks you could very well understand why they're outsiders in this election not all of them were saying that the u.s. should stop military interventions and all of them i do not see much difference between barack obama and mitt romney especially on foreign policy you just heard there were marks which indicate that these candidates are not going to be on the ballots are are going to be on balance but not in all states they were also talking about how hard it is for an independent candidate to get on those ballots in. us that every state has its own intricate rolls lots of signature essay that essentially it requires a lot of money to get on the ballot and all of these candidates know they don't stand a chance to win this election but as larry king the moderator of this debate said there are voices that may not be counted on november the thanks but they deserve to be heard and see how strong the whole month of parts and they can bend and he says
1:10 am
that party candidates will continue to be barred from the big picture until they stop pandering to corporate interests seizure of constitutional rights. the right to not be snooped on the right to not be arrested and held without charges the right to be. told without due process of law these are all things the largely started out of the bush administration had been continued by the obama administration in the end it was virtually unanimous consent across the group that they were opposed to so you see a far a lot from the far right ninety to most but they don't suit the moneyed interests. of any advertising going to lose the election if we were to structurally change the electoral system in the united states if we were to require the media to curie free fair and open debates if we were to publicly funded candidates if we were to ban
1:11 am
political advertising these are things that are done in many of the major democracies and so the world right now then i think it would be possible for these third party candidates to be remain true to their values and. have you know a successful lecture all effort but as long as the our us supreme court continues to assert that money is the same thing as speech that it's not property in the corporations are not legal fictions that they're actually people are going to be damn hard. let's now check some other world news in brief for you this hour activists in syria have posted videos online claiming to show rebels firing on all of the cold war is trying to capture a base near the country's north town of marjah. their town has already fallen to assad's opponents cutting the crucial aleppo highway and in the missing the regimes
