locals in the besieged libyan opposition strongholds bani walid later the international community about how but attempts to stop the slaughter the us wanted in the you are. sidelined by the mainstream media and barred from brokering in between obama and the other countries but they do us presidency get their voices heard it right here on and. go for alternative candidates raise issues that were not even touched upon in the debate between mitt romney and obama more on that coming up. and finally it will falter and how brits a big let down by the country's public health care service has

a range of some of its unfortunate. news on russia and around the world this is the with me thanks for joining us this iteration bani walid the last bastion of colonel gadhafi supporters in libya is said to be fast approaching a humanitarian catastrophe all supply routes to the city reportedly shelled by a gas filled bones remain current twelve living locals crying out for international rescue middle east correspondent reports now and you may find some of the pictures that disturbing. at the siege of bani walid it 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 quoting 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 children and also the alleged use of chemical weaponry and 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 the shells being fired at the local population they are using machinery to do more which you. know. again it's just a feeling that people. would know you wanted to know one of.

our family. is dying to make it work. no one. limited. 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 in parallels that are not being 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 go. 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

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 and russia's diplomatic efforts to end the bloodshed in bani walid remain deadlocked with the u.s. blocking moscow's dropped proposal for a peaceful resolution of the u.n. security council the details from these new york correspondents wearing a burka. 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 churkin says it's very strange and the behavior of the u.s.

delegation with respect to the russian. 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 hold 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 from the news magazine executive intelligence review and unstable media is with washington in its columns 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 the 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 nice ass 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 they drew between barack obama and me trying to steal the limelight and the us third party candidates for the presidency barely gets a mention but this channel has offered them a platform by broadcasting a live debate but when they all tenants have names on november's ballot going to church has been. 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 discussed the indefinite detention of americans see as the president obama signed something that because party candidates never talked about during the major debates then here is

joel signs where marks on the issue she's the nominee from the green party and the trial of our civil liberties the president has assumed dictatorial rights to put us in prison at his pleasure 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 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 intervention 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 result 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 move to score produced 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 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 their voices meant may not be counted on november the sixth but they deserve to be heard. and see how is tom hartman took part of the cave and add his that sets policy kind of to its 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 the right to be. to not be killed with without due process of law at these are all things that largely started under bush administration had been continued by the obama administration no no i think 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 of them but they don't out to be moneyed interests there at 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 candidates if we were to ban political advertising these are things that are done and meet many of the major of a democracy 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 electoral effort but as long as the state of our u.s. supreme court continues to assert that money it's is the same thing as speech that it's not property and corporations are not legal fictions that they're actually people it's going to be damn ard. some other world news for you this hour in brave the u.s. backing up in separate stipple when you coalition government i mean the rising tension in the country similarly the e.u.'s foreign policy chief catherine ashton there was speaking in the capital beirut said she was encouraged by. national dialogue to bring boxing ability to me while the army has reportedly brokered a ceasefire in the country's northern city of tripoli to two nights of fighting that killed at least ten and wounded over sixty people security is high in the country after violent clashes between police and protesters

well. tucked in between the russian mainland japan and the sun coming island is the island of minute on named after french seafarer who discovered it it is described as the pride of the sakhalin region we'll take a look at what's in store for us here. until two thousand and four the island was part of the boarders own and was completely restricted to visit is no this picture as a place is open to tourists unique plants and animals are its top attraction. really has been exploring the deaths on the world seas for several decades but it's here at morn your own island where here is finally found what he did looking for.

the water here is very clear the visibility is very good and the underwater world here is a really rich i've been to many diving locations across the planet including the island of bali but mine are on top of my list while some go to the cycling region to enjoy the sights others convert the island's nature's riches into a healthy dollar it is home to the biggest seafood processing factory in russia the tonight shock hundreds of thousands of tons of fish get caught in the nets too late to produce delicious selman curvy. almost necessary attribute of any feast in russia the owner of the enterprise says a good fishing season can bring in more than a hundred million dollars net profit. extent this is owed to what suckling offers environmentally the tonight show operates in only and natural habitat and mild climate unique natural sights and delicious seafood. for a diverse holiday for those who are not afraid to travel ten thousand kilometers

from europe the question is whether this distant land would ever be able to become a major tourist destination. more news today. again flared up. and these are the images the world has been seeing from the streets and canada. giant corporations are today.

this isn't c. welcome back in the u.k. trade unions have warned of massive industrial unrest if a to get pay freeze in the health care system as a standard their sources claim any rise in these difficult economic times is simply an affordable but a walkout would add to their woes of the national health services which has political reporters already losing the trust of the people. 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 parts 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 need 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. with all the resources that you know what we would be made to go private we felt we trusted we trusted

their 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 phone 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 be the system it must be my. major or the lack of communication to negligence is leaving someone you know work better all knowing it's all i can 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. thousands of protesters have yet again parks the streets of madrid the message they can turn to any more crippling austerity as common as the government draws up its budget for next year and has already warned of more cuts are going to report. protests like this one are becoming something of a regularity in spain 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 yours 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 regions 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's no nothing definite no different from nation but it does seem like spain is edging closer towards that point. but while

the spanish government to yields to was blazing for another a huge supporter of the moon berlin a shrink a says journalist and writer. those deficit targets are impossible to meet everybody knows that so the government is counting on the e.u. to establish star gets now the problem is that isn't it targets doesn't mean that the government is going to ease it's a seventy policy is in fact the e.u. fighter 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 really 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 drug use ice cream that is a schema by the european central bank to buy and then limited quantities of bonds

from thirty spanish stepped 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 of course you can always log on to r.t. dot com to find out more about spain's budget plans which drew thousands onto the streets of madrid last lines have also got the pictures from the thronging masses in the spanish capital four year. old and also there are blasting off to space within the trial of goldfish so check out our son's turn to report on the new isis mission lift off and learn about some of the person eating toxins shadrack for the next step in right. now for a quick business update this retreat allowed that a new raisings agency is trying to compete with s. and p.

and moody's those two we're talking about an agency which has been created by three different states russia actually included it's supposed to be independent of any countries or companies interests and its main goal is to provide an alternative opinion to the world now earlier i spoke to the jim rogers the said it was a fantastic idea except the big three will try to undermine it. but 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 of the world needs this desperately it's not u.s. based it's not u.s. centric though 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 listen to what's happening on the russian markets the tables of actually turn that out moving down words continuing the rather negative trend said yesterday when the rhythm of

declining around two percent now among the exceptions we've got to be moving up above bits point six percent but that's off historic lows yesterday and ross nafta is also up one and a half percent and that's despite the fact that moody's has just said that it's putting both companies for review for potential downgrade because of the school increasing risks due to the size of the new ross nifty n.k.v.d. company let's move over to europe where we have also quite a bit of a loss with the footsie on the dax declining slightly but volvo is sinking around seven percent after the truck maker said the quarter results came in much worse than expected and also francis said that it's ready to provide seven billion euros to post citron because its sales are not doing well and over in asia we've had china's manufacturing come out much better than expected almost close to because

the expansion rate and therefore we've had some gains on the hang seng just before the close around forty three percent. all right then i'll be back in fifty five minutes time with another update and coming up next we talk to a middle east expert professor good to male on the conflict in syria and what effect the ousting of the assad regime could have on the region. you know how sometimes you see a story and it seems so for lengthly you think you understand it and then you glimpse something else you hear or see some other part of it and realize everything you thought you knew you don't know i'm trying hard welcome to the big picture.
