this is coming to live from moscow hello and welcome to the program. in wisconsin libya where government forces claim to have taken bani walid as the last bastion of his supporters in libya but locals caught up in the weeks of violence pleasing to the international community for help also his policy as well and were warning you might find some of the 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 the city 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 we're 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 or not. 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 and 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 with cams this is more than a quarter of the population we also continue to receive five or ports of the use of poison gas and also indiscriminate shelling money while the television is also ball costing 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 people i extremely frightened there is no government. i know or. most of them. because. food reducing for everything they used machinery. they could buy. from far. getting guys is. getting. earlier this month the libyan government ordered 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 tuesday 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 this and 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 it's like what is happening in bahrain while. my colleague kevin i spoke to a member of libya's ruling general national congress and he also mohamed sayah how

the government justifies the deaths of the civilian population and by. for you. and your colleagues. you would have to take the full picture we are taking care of the family every single family. been taking out of been awarded houses and everyone we've spoken to families really link them we've spoken to families at least two families and they're saying that is not the case there is an intense amount of pressure there still. well you see where the government force attacking a place where there are outlaws hided of course it won't be easy it's like a thirty second operation there will be some small mistakes but the whole picture of the whole thing is being handled. better effect the 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 the pictures. 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 we got to 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 i have lots of trust and confidence there will never have been these things being used during the days of the dictator of the monitor and 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 have they will never

break the rules. they would never break their values. and amid the national the international community leaders crisis causing international protests dozens of people with friends and family inside bani walid arrived in central london to try and force the government to pay attention to the ongoing assault and freelance journalist maurice herman however says the demonstrators on the innovations the people in london demonstrating on downing street really they've all lost relatives during this whole conflict over the last year they want david cameron they want the british government to interfere and stop what's going on and they know it's hopeless they know there's no chance that he will do anything and in fact he's on the opposite side nevertheless they were there to to show slogans and ask you know did the british government will try and intervene and help so there was an

under mood of tragedy in everyone because there's all this uncertainty about bani walid and most of them have relatives there ninety five percent of them are from the war followed tribe and bani walid is their home town. and staying with me been . a man wanted in connection for months the time u.s. embassy in been gaza which claimed one of the lives of the boss about three other americans is reported killed in a shootout in cairo meanwhile the tunisian court has sentenced the leader of radical islamist group on some al sharia to gain prison instigating that's all or has demanded everyone responsible for the attack on trial. israel and hamas have reportedly reached an unofficial truce up to several days of deadly air attacks egypt is said to have held me days the negotiations the violence erupted on monday when rockets began flying into israel from gaza the reciprocal wave of astronauts killed at least six palestinians. lebanon's main opposition bloc has

here with me today is a french politician former presidential candidate and now the head of the popular republican union here in france. thank you very much for being with us thank you for inviting me miss us or not one of mr holland's campaign slogans was change is now that was the most important slogan actually of the hell contain and actually now we see lots of changes indeed here in france but unfortunately not always for

the better so where is france going right now. this situation is complicated at the moment and we'll get even more so it's not just in france but all euro zone countries look at what is happening in greece italy spain portugal arland france is somewhat better off than those in the south but the situation here is grave unemployment has surpassed the three million mark and things will continue to worsen why is this happening because our economic policy is bound to create recession cycles the central strategy is to cut government spending apparently in order to balance the budget people often say there is a budget deficit so in order to balance it we just need to cut government spending but it only works if your income comes from salary the state's revenue comes from income tax corporate tax rate eighty tax on fuel but these largely depend on the level of economic activity in the country if you cut government spending.
