international news and comment live from moscow this is all see with me. thanks for joining us. and was in libya where government forces claim to have taken bani walid the last bastion of colonel gadhafi supporters in libya but locals caught up in the weeks of violence a pleasing to the international community for help. and were warning you might find some of the fallen pictures disturbing. we continue to receive contradictory reports as to what is happening inside bani walid on the one hand we're hearing from pro-government sources that they said he has fallen and that it is in the hands of the army but we're hearing exactly the opposite from our own sources and those are people who have family inside the city and who hearing firsthand

information now it's taken us almost three days to make contact with a local resident of the city that also gives you a sense of whether or not the statement that the situation is under control is in fact accurate. the situation is very difficult the city is almost completely destroyed residents are buried in the rubble many among the victims are children and the elderly there are even more children and elderly using your channel we're appealing to the whole world our city is dying what's happening in bani walid everyone just attacked it is just armed forces where is there a legitimate government they announce a country of law a country of justice where are they why can't we see them now red cross international has said that some twenty five thousand people have fled the city to neighboring refugee camps this is more than a quarter of the population we also continue to receive unverified supports of the use of poison gas and also indiscriminate shelling by nearly a television is also broadcast of almost nonstop pictures of dead and dying

children we have spoken with a man who has family inside the procedure town he went on to say there are people i extremely frightened there is no government for a very large rocket i know or. most of them. because. food reducing for everything they use machinery. there yet they could buy. from far. beating guys is. brilliant. insight. for. everything but this is only this month the libyan government awarded its army to

use all necessary means to deal with. what we continue to see is a situation that all accounts remains dire indeed on a choose day at the united nations security council russia did put forward a draft statement that called for a peaceful resolution to this ongoing crisis now the united states blocked the response from russia was that the blocking was a behavior that was difficult to explain particularly in light of the fact that four american embassy officials were killed in the country last month so you do have fingers being pointed at both the united states and others in the international community and accusing them of double standards these are countries and capitals that on the one hand are so quick to blame the syrian president bashar assad but are very slow to take action when you have a crisis like is like what is happening in bani walid. and my colleague had an hour and spoke to a member of the general national congress and he asked mohamed syre how the

government justifies the death of the civilian population and. you. you would have to. picture. of the family. being out of. how everyone we've spoken to. we've spoken to at least two families there saying that is not the case there is an intense amount of pressure they're still. well you see where the government force a. place where there are outlaws hided of course it won't be easy it's like a surgical operation there will be some small mistakes but the whole picture of the whole thing is being. there we are taking care

of all the family all the. really all the women houses are ready for them food everything we're not getting that picture can i ask you that there's been reports of chemical weapons being used to fight. a fax from doctors purportedly in the city which says victims are suffering from toxic gas poisoning if you got any comment on that. these are lies these are lies i trust the guys who are over there trust our forces there are muslim there are human values are very high lots of trust and confidence there will never. have been 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

forward against these things they have values. they will never break the rules and they will never break their values in syria the u.n. brokered cease fire is in jeopardy even before it officially takes effect on friday damascus has pledged to stick to their agreement mediated by a peace envoy lakhdar brahimi but some rebel groups say they will keep fighting regardless international affairs analyst. the armed opposition is confident of continued foreign support for him calling bloodshed. government is for it see in syria is found. powers including the united states with the cia through dorothy turkey itself or they leave their countries like kate france germany is providing intelligence support so they are really in qatar we know that they're providing top jordan that's will be a real force this invited by the syrian opposition by the western powers that they mention and it's out of place they don't want really fits they want to remove the

government of syria from both president bush on our side and but. they believe that the rebels believe that they've got the momentum they've got the support from the outside world and they say that they're not going to abide by the states but it's because they haven't been pressured by the outside powers don't like them perhaps they have even been told not to support this use for. regions trying for independence all of us territory tony europe have fresh inspiration their breakaway campaigns scotland's deal with london to hold an independence referendum has office and ready to has others ready to follow including the likes of catalonia safa examine the trend. tide to changing in europe nationalism bred by ways of crises has swept across a once united union scotland has just been granted the historic right to cheese whether or not it wants to remain as part of the united kingdom in the next couple of years they're not the only ones across europe right now and there's

communication research and entertainment is being dubbed the battlefield of the future in an era of hackers and viruses computers are something of a weapon in the emerging world of cyber war virtual world where military strikes are invisible and everyone online remains vulnerable earlier this month u.s. defense secretary leon panetta warned that america faces the possibility of a cyber pearl harbor if online security is ensuring things the even greater danger facing us in cyberspace goes beyond crime and it goes beyond harassment. attorney. perpetrated by nation states or violent extremist groups could be as destructive as the terrorist attack on nine eleven while the pentagon is looking to expand washington's ability to respond to cyber

a flame or any of the other variants it's the noise of what they can prove who did it or how you did it you can do so you were really shocked this is happening. this soft power dimension to new u.s. policies in the digital world is reflected in its desire to win hearts and minds of the online community last year the u.s. spent nearly twenty million dollars to help foreign citizens access online material and social media meanwhile the u.s. government is working hard to spy on internet communications not just on its own citizens but foreign nationals as well america's largest overseas eavesdropping base is in britain and the top secret facility carries out a whole range of military diplomatic and commercial surveillance the beginning of a new global battlefield where viruses replace drones and how kurz may be calm some of the highest ranking officials in the u.s. military what may still sound to some like science fiction is fast becoming

it's easy to. meet. you know sometimes you see a story and it seems so you think you understand it and then you glimpse something else you hear or see some other part of it and realized everything you thought you knew you don't know i'm tom harpur welcome to the big picture.

max kaiser welcome to the kaiser report surely people are told you nothing on cheer

or gold yes it all started back in march seventeenth of two thousand and eight bear stearns of collapse that weekend ben bernanke it celeste rates by seventy five basis points on sunday night and on monday morning i have been as bank to speak to their head of the goal department of gordon brown's body stays he tells the rest of the story. brown's body is not the physical body but the bottom is in the gold price it's like a several hundred year bottom of the price and that's when gordon brown decided to sell off half as gold supply so we went to germany to ask the buddhist bank why they kept their gold in order to highlight why britain would get rid of their gold little did we know that that weekend the financial crisis would really start in earnest it went down so hard and what you found was that they were panicked that the financial markets themselves would not survive they said this to you we had it on tape and the other thing you said was well surely you're glad that you have so

much gold can i. and they said no it's all in new york and time there's been a growing movement in germany to try to figure out where the gold is germans are concerned now that the global financial crisis is entering into its end game of sovereign bond blowoff and the only thing left will be gold people in germany want to know what is sixty percent of their gold actually held out of germany are we really that exposed to this downturn sure and it also shows how long these financial and currency wars go on i mean everybody always looks for an immediate win like that decisive outcome right then but this is like four years ago that we were there and dad to the gold antitrust action committee has really been pursuing this doggedly but i want to also flashback to a little video we made at that time to just show you how how little understanding there was in germany of actually where their gold supplies were germany german people alan greenspan and ben bernanke well you know you're valuable gold for us

treasury bonds and us dollars that are entirely worthless. don't do it german people hold on to your grown gold value the u.s. dollar value it's the currency hold on to the german people. so as you saw from that video there was nobody there in the audience in the middle in the heart of frankfurt and today however look at the headline max german court demands bundesbank audit sovereign gold holdings so the german court of auditor's the buddhists scoff has demanded that the bundesbank undertake an audit of its gold reserves in an audit the fed style effort the court wants to ensure that the nearly three thousand four hundred tons of gold is in fact in existence because stocks have never been checked for authenticity.
