confident in next year's budget and. new song russia and around the world this is the with me you know hello and welcome to the program this iteration of bani walid the last bastion of colonel gadhafi supporters in libya is said to be fast approaching a humanitarian catastrophe or supply routes to the city reportedly gas filled bombs remain cut off leaving locals crying out for international rescue middle east correspondent paula see of reports now and you might find some of the pictures disturbing that. 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 quote 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 weapon 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 from the shells being fired at the local population are using machinery to do more which. is. no because you guys are going to just

a few people children and no. good evening we would know you want to know want to. save our family. is the time to make it work. no one can stop. limited morning we've been well for many libyans since the former libyan leader moammar gadhafi was slain their lives have not changed if 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 many parallels that are now 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 going. 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 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 remained logs with the u.s. blocking moscow's draft proposal for a peaceful resolution at the u.n. security council that is house from new york correspondent marina porter. 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 vitaly 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 political problems. says it's very strange and the behavior of the u.s. delegation with respect to the russian troff 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 beginning of october and we see is escalating but these conversations will clearly continue in the days to come. lawrence freeman the newsmagazine executive intelligence review believes an unstable leaving washington on its cards 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 torpedo 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 a rather he sassed nation who are master 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 for another two a bigger confrontation. while the duel between barack obama and mitt romney is still of the limelight and the possible for the presidency ban it gets a mention but this channel has offered them a platform by broadcasting a live debate between bell turns of names on november as a pilot going to check him has been listening in. the four alternative candidates who were debating this tuesday night in chicago did raise a number of issues that were never even touched upon in the debates between mitt romney and barack obama there was a lot of critique of course they discuss money in politics their claim is that

washington was bought and paid for by special interests they discuss the indefinite detention of americans see as the president obama signed something that the two party candidates never talk about during the major debates and here is joel signs where marks on the issues she is the nominee from the green party. crowd on the trail of our civil liberties that the president has assumed dictatorial rights to put us in prison at his leisure without charge or without trial among other things sweeping powers of the patriot act also something that you don't hear much about in the mainstream media the crackdown on whistleblowers by the obama administration and of course the military judging by their remarks secret very well understand why they are outsiders in this watch and all of them were saying the u.s. should stop military interventions and all of them do not see much difference between barack obama and mitt romney especially on foreign policy take a listen 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 has 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 morphed into a moola truce corporatist anti-democratic force that has betrayed. human and civil rights these candidates 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 the u.s. that every state has its own intricate rules lots of signature and 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 survey said there are voices that may not be counted on november the sixth but they deserve to be heard. and i'll see how some housman took part in the k.

event on says. will continue to be barred from the big picture until they stop pandering to corporate interests the 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. to not be held without due process of law these are all things the largely started out of the bush administration have been continued by the obama administration and the and it was virtually unanimous consent across the group that they were opposed to so you see the far a lot from the far right moves they don't out to be moneyed interests there and 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 carry free fair and open debates if we were to publicly funded if we were to ban

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 remain true to their values and. have you know a successful lecture zero 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 and the corporations are not legal fictions that they're actually people are going to be damn hard. and some other world news for you this hour in syria opposed to videos online claiming to show rebels firing on all of the call voids trying to capture a base near the country's north town of loretto newman the town was already fallen has already fallen to assad's opponents cutting the crucial aleppo highway under limiting the regimes ability to send supplies to their soldiers government troops

seeing from the streets of canada. today. this is all she is good to have you with as we continue thousands of protesters have yet again the streets of madrid the message they can't handle anymore. it comes as the government draws up its budget for next year and has already warned of more cuts on his rino going to scrub reports. protests like this one are becoming something of a regularity and spray and in fact we're being told told by people here that there are over eighty protests happening in madrid alone so there are hundreds happening all over the country now spain years are highly dissatisfied with the way their government has been dealing with trying to solve the financial crisis in the

country they're saying that their representatives who are sitting in the parliament are not representing the people who are standing here that there are problems are not being even thought about in the parliament now what are these people worried about they're worried about the social programs first and foremost health care education aid for the elderly they are also worried about the fact that spain has one of the highest unemployment rates in the european union which is about twenty five percent it has the highest youth unemployment rate which is that over fifty percent right now now the international agency moody's has downgraded four of spain's regions including catalonia which is the richest region in spain considering the fact that the country is going through its second recession in three years and with this downgrade right now with the central bank saying that spain's economy is shrinking and again with the unemployment going up we can we can assume that it's not long before spain is going to officially ask for a bailout it hasn't done it yet so there is no nothing definite no different from nation but it does seem like spain is edging closer towards that point. but while

this plan is government yields towards glazing for nothing support for the move in berlin is shrinking says journalist and writer mikhail. those deficit targets are impossible to meet everybody knows that so the government is counting on the e.u. to ease those targets now the problem is that isn't it targets doesn't mean that the government is going to ease it so said it's the policy is in fact the e.u. has quite an extraordinary said that spain is doing too much is doing more than the specter so let's say that we have in spain. a very a very much of an activist prime minister who volunteers more austerity than it's needed by the creditors quite an extraordinary thing i believe now there's something new and is that germany is not keen on spain asking for the bailout because that would open the way for what is known as mr druggists ice cream that is

a schema by the european central bank to buy and unlimited quantities of bonds from the spanish debt the germans doesn't want that they don't want that and so they want to block the only way to block that he says spain not asking for the bailout so unless all these things are solved well it will take still a few weeks but yes i think ultimately spain will go for the bailout. and you can always go into all three dot com to find out more about spying sponsored plans which drew thousands onto the streets of madrid last night i've also got the pictures from the thronging masses and this kind of covers all for you. one last thing all to space where there shoal of fish. reporting from the new census mission live tall and learn about some of the tasks tragical the next chapter. in the u.k. trade unions have warned of massive industrial unrest if

a two year pay freeze in the health care system is extended so authorities claim any rise in these difficult economic times is simply an affordable but a walk out without the woes of the national health services which as poorly boycott reports is already losing the trust of the people. you're. clearly in agony but in supposedly safe hands in hospital that's what janine harvey says distort when she came down with severe hit pain last december despite over forty visits to doctors in three different hospitals janine cervical cancer went on diagnosed rhyming in city hospital doctors here failed to spot janine harvey's cancer not once but twice all the hospitals missed it too exposing the council of the virus but let's have the death of the thirty three year old mother of four just months later her family now say they want to name a story to be heard so that others can avoid

a similar freights at one point doctors even suggested that jeanine's excruciating pain was all in her mind but her post-mortem examination showed that a cancerous tumor had grown so large inside her that it had shattered her pelvic bone janine's family gets upset when people ask why they didn't pay for costly private care they say britain's national health service was once the pride of britain but their trust in it has broken you know if you don't just spend. the resources that you know what we need to go private we felt we trust we trust a bit every word janine isn't the only patient to be failed by the n.h.s. somewhere around sixty percent of deaths in hospitals. or something else happen but potentially was avoidable and has potentially contributed to that so it's a it's

a big number of people that's one thousand patients a month a recent study by the national institute of health research says that one patient in ten is affected by potentially serious medical errors half of whom die. as a result such as twenty two year old kane gorney he died from dehydration from a combination of misdiagnosis and what the coroner called the incompetence of n.h.s. staff it's definitely a problem that patients are repeatedly coming to us with. reporting failure is a similar nature to that which happened to janine harvey the n.h.s. trust responsible for janine's care says we are extremely sorry for any distress caused to the family we can understand the need for answers and this is what our internal investigation process is about examining what lessons there are to be

learnt and making changes if there's anything that needs to be changed janine's family are now turning their tragedy into forming a charity to give other people with complicated medical conditions a chance to get a second medical opinion privately before it's too late it's impossible for so many individual consultants to to make so many errors more speed the system it must be my. major or the lack of communication to negligence is leaving someone you know bed all knowing it's all i can't think of any other word for. months long after it was it was. just janine harvey's family say they can only hope that lessons will be learned and that no one else ever suffers the same way. polly boyko r t london. time now for

a quick business update was really true hello there so i knew raisings agency is center of his and so to compete with some peer moodys right now as rival several countries including russia are creating this new agency about it's supposed to be independent of any national or call. interests and it's main goal is to present basically in the alternative opinion to the world well let's talk more on this with the only one and only jim rogers joins us from zurich jim good to see you there so how much of a need is there for an alternative opinion on ratings in the media there's a huge need because the ones in america that have been dominating the business for decades are corroded and obviously not very efficient they missed the entire allowance in the past five or six years just really don't know what they're doing anymore so do you think it will be able to effectively competes with the big three s. and p. moody's and fitch. oh absolutely there's no question about that and. they've got

a joint venture with an american company which is one of the few independent voices which have gotten things right in the past few years so this world needs this desperately it's not u.s. based it's not u.s. centric there will be a huge demand it will take them a while to convince the market but i'm convinced there is a huge market need i know their partners i admire their partners and i certainly know the chinese and the russians want to do it right all right well while you know ratings from s. and p. and the like so if the companies or countries credit was innocent before interest rates what will these new ratings the same thing same thing they're going to be competing ratings if you if joe says your double a and sam says you're single eight then people will have to make a choice of which one and one of them will have more credibility in the end it's exactly the same thing and by the way dimitri i stopped paying attention to s. and p. and moody's a long time ago because i knew their ratings were useless right but do you think

the big three will be able to will want to undermine this whole idea of course anybody wants to undermine our competitiveness no question you know when toyota started bringing cars into america the general motors and ford did their best to undermine them it didn't do any good after a few decades but of course that's what competition is all about so what are we expecting to see from them what kind of action. i am sure you're going to see that they will bring out their own ratings and when the competition rings our ratings moody's s. and. point out that there is are quote better than the new new guy on the block but in the end their major is going to be the market which determines yes moody's and s. and p. and fitch will have a huge marketing effort to disparage the new gods on the block in the end of market will decide and i am convinced that in the end these new guys will be better than the old unless the old shape up and start doing all right with post all right jim

thank you very much that was jim rogers talking to us live and for you that's all we have time for in this edition of the business news coming up next we talk to middle east expert professor. basically on the conflict in syria and what effect the ousting of the assad regime could have on the reach. in japan the average height for men is one hundred eighty two centimeters ten centimeters shorter because of that some employers refused to hire me one of them even told me directly that i was too short to deal with the client's computers already spent three months in this hospital and plans to stay for another four to add the coveted seven santa majors to his stature invented by the famed soviet author p.d. is good for you is there a from the nineteen fifties these frames were initially used to treat fractures in deformities by cutting bones and slowly pulling them up or therefore stimulating tissue regeneration it was out of was able to receive arms and legs and people who

thought they were crippled for life be sent to the other patients. since their shattered lives with the main goal when professing desired his first brain bicycle parts sixty years later he says invention is increasingly being used to help people what gerd to fracture their legs to become a few centimeters taller than the ultimate goal is still the same six thing somebody is live both literally and figuratively about a third of patients admitted to be was out of center nowadays seeking series three focus medical reasons most of them a man and most are not what you would call vertically challenged professor novick of who operated on many of them says it usually comes down to a man's pride some of the first patient to turn to us with a leg length i mean a quest to meet his fifteen centimeters to be still want to surgery because panos to than him we like to say that we need to break their legs in order to fix their

head maybe nothing wrong with them from an orthopedic point of view but there is something psychological that prevents them from living their lives fully being happy and we fix it like lengthening surgeries are banned in many countries and even the out there press. expensive in russia the entire course costs eleven thousand dollars about one tenth of the similar package in the united states financial considerations for one of the reasons they brought this washington state to western siberia main motive for the surgery had to do with how he fared in. his one seventy five i was one sixty seven or one sixty. eight centimeters with the average user bridge for women. you know i think girl can be short and it's not a big. expect to be told.
