service with a number of its unfortunate surfacing. hello and welcome to you r t with you today karen tara well the situation in bani walid of 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 gas filled bombs remain cut off leaving locals crying out for international rescue archies middle east correspondent paula slater reports and 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 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 they are using machinery to do more which is you. know. guys are going to just a few people going to know. we know you want to know one of.

our family. i got this time to make. work that. no one. limited money with while 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 now been made between his regime and the current reign gadhafi for example was charged with using chemical weaponry we're not hearing the same kind of charges being made at the ruling regime at the same time good. 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 waste 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 body why did the international community is quiet so this is raising alarm bells. russia's diplomatic efforts to end the bloodshed in bani walid remained blocked with the u.s. blocking moscow's draft proposal for a peaceful resolution at the u.n. security council the details from our trees new york correspondent marina port. 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 and jokes of turning professor and political analyst from hong kong city university believes that you won smacks of double standards. it is certainly a case of hypocrisy and that will stand. whatever one's assessments of the motivations of russia the concern full of humanitarian ism obvious the. arche. national interest and ignite the space influence in. the united states certainly believes libya is very much in this pocket or you know pocket of the united states and its major nato allies to usurp the new wants to be in full control of the libyan situation. and oil interests are one of the considerations and it does not want to see intervention interferences

from other countries especially from russia. while the duel between barack obama and mitt romney the limelight in 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 alternative names on november spiral it can it can has been the thing 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 sign something that the two party candidates never talk about during the major debates and here is joel science 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 he could very well understand why there are outsiders in this election 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 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 square 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 and that essentially it requires a lot of money to get on the ballot and all of these candidates know they don't stand. cast away in this election but as larry king the moderator of this debate said their voices that may not be counted on november the sixth but they deserve to be heard hardtail host tom hartman took part in the key event he says third party candidates will continue to be barred from the big picture until they start powdering to corporate interests the seizure of constitutional rights. the right to not be snooped upon the right now not be arrested and held without

charges that the right to be. to not be killed without due process of law these are all things the largely started out of the bush administration had been continued by the obama administration and the think there 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 on their action i am 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 candles if we were to ban political advertising news of things that are done in many of the major 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 those that are us supreme court

continues to assert that money it's is the same thing in speech that it's not property and corporations are not legal fictions that they're actually people it's going to be damn hard. all right time now for some other world news for you this hour the u.s. servants backing lebanese efforts to form a new coalition government amid rising tension in the country similarly we use foreign policy chief catherine ashton who were speaking in the capital beirut said she was encouraged to forge a national dialogue to bring back stability meanwhile the army has reportedly both brokered a cease fire in the country's northern city of tripoli after two nights of fighting there killed at least ten and wounded over sixty people security is high in the country after violent clashes between police and protesters erupted last week over the killing of a top intelligence official. russia claims syrian rebels have anti-aircraft

weapons including u.s. made stingers this comes as the u.n. envoy locked out of a he needs damascus and some opposition leaders have finally agreed to a ceasefire during the upcoming muslim holiday for the feast of sacrifice meanwhile activists in syria posted videos online claiming to show fearsome vandals in the north that's where rebels are fighting to capture of a sneer a hard way used by the government to supply soldiers in the city of aleppo activists say some forty people were killed in the area last week. witnesses have reported two powerful explosions in gaza the blast struck the city after israeli forces killed a palestinian gunman in their latest series of airstrikes it's the second straight day of raids by israel's military tel aviv claims the strikes are a response to dozens of rockets fired from gaza in the last month. more than eight thousand striking gold miners have been sacked in south africa after ignoring

a deadline set by their bosses for them to resume work last week thousands of other employees accepted the company's all to meynell and returned to work after a series of mass walkouts south africa's mining sector has been hit by a wave of strikes over pay and working conditions that have left dozens of people dead in the last two months. and then a few minutes on the british health care system which is killing not curing. the trustees. every word. it is. just all i can think of any other word. with months no time. we will look at some fatal flaws in the u.k.'s health care system as the government increasingly turns its back on doctors there's so much much more coming up after the break.

you can tell an ordinary russian siberian in the blink of an. anthropologist in those days were different clothes different food. different animals. but what about the. journey began in two men but the big city was all shiny all funded school was great because i'm shopping malls much like any other prosperous post. so i decided to try. a small town just outside. dumplings came from here to dominate the russian cuisine but only in siberia. filled with cabbage and making sure you can have many as a starter. main dish. although

it may draw the love as most people in siberia see nothing wrong with hunting the only if you decide to participate. when you look upon mountain. like the muck as in the middle of a swamp only accessible by transport in the summer months and winter a ball to split the dogs it's inhabited by sudbury and a large muslim minority that migrated head before the russians. and this. israel siberia maybe not the stuff of tourist brochures but distinctive enough to show that these yeahs siberia still not quite like anywhere

else. cultures that so much as i can recall when it comes to the candidates problem and mitt romney revealed little major difference between the two and their approaches to security in foreign affairs many cleek.

oh welcome back to our team karen taraji in the u.k. trade unions have warned of massive industrial on round a two year pay freeze in the health care system is extended the authorities claim many runs in these difficult economic times as simply an affordable but a walkout would add to the woes of the national health services which is probably void to reports it's 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 priming in city hospital doctors hair failed to spot janine harvey's cancer not once but twice all the hospitals missed it too exposing

a couple of the barrier that led to the death of the thirty three year old mother of four just months later her family now say they want to nice story to be heard so that others can avoid a similar freights at one point dr 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 very anxious to spend. the resources that you know. we have made to go private we felt we trusted them 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 failing 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 it must be the system it must be some murray. 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

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 that yet so there's no nothing definite no different from ation but it does seem like spain is edging closer towards that point. and you can log on to our t. dot com to find out more about spring's budget plans which drew thousands on to the streets of madrid last night we've also got the pictures from the ongoing dances
