mrs r t my name's kevin oh in our top story tonight at eight pm moscow time libyan pro-government forces say they've occupied the center of the opposition stronghold of bani walid with only a few pockets of resistance left now dozens have been killed in recent shelling to end the almost three weeks long siege which has left the city on the brink of a humanitarian disaster. as the latest. what is important to note is that all these reports of bani walid has fallen all coming from government forces we in fact are hearing quite the opposite from our own sources we are hearing that fighting continues if anything it has intensified now as nearly three weeks comes since the fighting began we are also hearing that the city has not fallen now it does seem as if hundreds of pro-government fighters have made their way into the city center they've been seen hoisting flags onto abandoned buildings and also

filing in the air but certainly this does not suggest that the whole city has fallen only a we spoke with a man in north africa his family is in bani walid and he gives us an update of what the situation there was like there is no government force very large militia as a bloc would know what. most of them. because you're going. to really. love food for reducing for everything there is machinery here if you're. there yet that could by . far the use. of beating guys is. civilian people in sight. and their claws for. everything for this is now we've also been receiving reports that the army has

wasted at least eighty former gadhafi henchmen and accuses them of being involved in torture and murder this is other reports are circulating that the release of some forty hostages has taken place by anti government forces most people have fled according to the red cross some five thousand families which stands at around twenty five thousand people have fled to neighboring cities and towns but this figure is far below the total number of. people who we understand have been made refugees by the situation we continue to receive unverified photographs as well as video of dismembered bodies of children that have been slain and we continue to hear reports of the use of chemical weapons we are reminded that we are being told that shells that contain gas are being fired on the local population with i would missiles and doctors at the scene telling us that many people are suffering from poisoned gas inhalation on tuesday the united nations security council to have

a session and that that session russia put forward a draft statement in which it will be fighting to be. some kind of him to be brought to the ongoing violence now that statement was stopped by the united states and moscow has responded by saying that a fine is the american actions strange and difficult to explain certainly they're difficult to explain if you remember that just last month for u.s. citizens were killed in benghazi libya and i'm a sponsor to that washington bought out all the stops to try and deal with the situation you have a situation where normal people are saying that no one really cares about what is happening in bahrain while here and you compare this to the almost mess hysteria in the mainstream western media and the international community in terms of what is happening today in syria in the past russia and china were blamed for voting against resolutions in libya so more and more people are saying that will be hard

at the moment on the table is a very clear example of double standards in terms of how the west deals with crises such as these on the go. here the view from libya's leadership is a member of the libyan national transitional council he's a senior spokesman he joins us on the line from tripoli so a very good evening thank you for being on our team from. first of all as you know it was happening in but he will leave now. well you see the stars. thank you for having me on your show but i have to correct a few things that i've heard through your spokesman a while ago they were saying about the double standard you see this this problem that we have in many what he has been. transmitted to the outside world

through the local media and the international media. completely wrong because to start with this was imo the local authority in genuinely the central government in tripoli has nothing to do with this and we kept waiting for the local in many ways to settle this matter among them for one year from the day of the clearing the liberation of libya to this moment. those who say that. you guys over there are totally wrong very well it has been paraded. the same time when the whole libya was liberated missis i am so worried about. i'm sorry did you i want to ask you just the same question again and what do you think what is your knowledge of

what's happening there right now. well as as i was saying. because i was a member of those who were who had tried to settle this dispute between the local authority i'm very worried there was the chief of the. military council. mr barak offered money and some other guys. there was some problem between them after the liberation this problem has been. actually the central government in tripoli did not want. during the days of the we did not want to ensure that all wonder if we won for the local people. what i want to get to the bottom of tonight as we speak are n.t.s.c. forces in there and i will lead according to your knowledge do you know if they're

all well. yes they are but you will have to take the whole to the whole picture not a part of it that the whole picture is this fire is now going over there. for the government because through this some crime has been. carried by some of our close guys and they were supposed to be giving the local government. their run away they have . they were hiding places very early that's why the local government the libyan forces has to go there bring these guys to the justice. is this the right way to do it don't you think so is this really the democracy you envision when you took part in our uprising for a bright future for libya originally armed militias that appear it appears you can

control storming cities or the strongholds of people you don't want to support. this is not a militia storming city. the government forces took us one year one year for those our clothes to handle themselves to the to the government they have refused everybody a trial through a peaceful way it's been one year the whole country is frozen everybody is frozen because of this problem we want to settle this problem we gave them lots of time we waited for them to come back and handle them to the to the local government to the central government but they have refused so there is no other way than using the national forces to get those outlaws back to the just. cause we've got reports of militiamen shooting in the air in celebration

you sign ups not happening can you comment on the women the children that have been killed during this twenty days each other's lives this is a human to human question worth the imprisonment of the man who went to the former a hundred. you see four for four for you as a media and your colleagues this is you would have to take that full picture we are taking care of the family every single family so i been taking out of when i wanted houses and everything we've spoken to families you know singling them we've spoken to families at least two families and they're saying there is not the case there is an intense amount of pressure they're still. well you see where the government forces attacking

a place where there are our close hided of course it won't be easy it's like a surgical operation there will be some small mistakes but the whole picture the whole thing is being handled. perfectly there we are taking care of all the family all the all the really all the women houses are ready for them food everything was taken care of them with spec that is not. getting there all we're not getting the picture can i ask you but i know that there's been reports of chemical weapons being used in fact outies obtained a fax from doctors purportedly in the city which says victims are suffering from toxic gas poisoning we got a comment on that. these are lies these are lies i trust the guys who are over there i trust our forces there are

muslim there are human values are very high i have lots of trust and confidence there will never use such a weapon these things being used during the days of the dictator of the monitor he did use lots of things like this but for our forces all of them they have. i guess the thing is they have values they have a rule they will never break lol and they will never break their values which is i thank you for being on the program is appreciated mohammed sayah member and spokesman of libya's national transitional council a deadly medical errors send shock waves through people's trustee britain's health service coming up. we trust deep down we trust you to every flat oh i can't think of any who wet fish in a set with months no thought of what we were foolish only to model much catalogue

of fatal flaws in the health care system just as the government increasingly turns its back on doctors nurses that said and we bring you the alternative voices in the us presidential election to we want to end wars and take corporate influence out some politics if only they had the chimes i'm covering no to go postal is immoral just that. it won't come to the. previous solar power this month to move is the center of our universe the tides of forever while the sun's rays can be fickle innovative construction methods last cost as well as environmental damage for brand new turbines boost efficiency with a simplified design and who needs batteries leeks can store energy discover a new era of clean power driven by the moon technology update here on launch east

as potentially contributed to that 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 error as half of whom die as a result such as twenty two year old cane gorney she 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 face 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 calls to the family we can understand the need for on says 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 ceased it must be some major major or the lack of communication to negligence is leaving someone you know bent on knowing it's all i can think of any other word for them was my own slaughter. r.t. london. well it seems that blowing the whistle can land you in prison especially for a former cia agent soon revealed the torture of suspected terrorists he's been sentenced

washington was bought and paid for by special interests they discussed the indefinite detention of americans the act that president obama signed something that the two party candidates never talked about during the major debates and here is joel stein where marks on the issue she's the nominee from the green party. trail of our civil liberties that the president has a soon to 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 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 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 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 military a square purchased anti-democratic force that has betrayed basic 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 signatures 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 debate said their voices in it may not be counted on november the sixth but they deserve to be heard. georgia's

story of how racing first started here atoll it wasn't the top off sled grazing who set the trail ablaze but a nun and for all phones who brought their dia to life. five years ago mother put a scare of a bill to dog kennel in the village kids from the local open age came around to take care of the dogs and one day they state their lives might seem extreme to some the boys wake up at six to feed the dogs before school in the evening they spend up to three hours training their full legged friends but mother per square also encourages her kids to become debt hands on the computer and internet the boys regularly updated their website and they're in touch with their business model twenty four seven on the phone itself. but children are the most important thing my only interests not play any rule any more and regardless of whether parsky has

explains for us. there are only three credit ratings agencies with global reach moody's standard and poor's and fitch but they are all american and some would say subject to the same collins street bias three have had a buyout for the crisis trading. predict in two thousand and eight the imminent downturn at the time they were giving the highest possible credit rating to securities sociate with the u.s. housing market slated prompted the crisis they also failed to spot what was going wrong in iceland shortly before it collapsed and as recently as two thousand and nine moody's was saying that investor concerns about greece but perhaps misplaced but despite this less than stellar track record a new global agency is not going to have it all its own way it will need to establish its own credibility and this can only be done by showing long term accurate and reliable analysis and that is going to take some time and they'd be all right should hold.
