inspiration from scotland success in securing permission for a referendum on the in the. it is a pleasure to have you with us here on our to today rory sushi live in moscow libya's government forces claim to have taken the last bastion of colonel gadhafi supporters in libya but locals caught up in the weeks of violence and are pleading to the international community for help to use a middle east correspondent joins us live from beirut for more on this hour paula it's good to see you conflicting reports coming from libya what's the latest that you have. while we continue to receive these conflicting reports from our sources on the ground we're hearing that the army is actually withdrawing from the city

although we are hearing of wide scale killings that have taken place from the government sources they say that the system has fallen we continue to receive verified video footage as well as reports of wide scale killings of indiscriminate shelling and also the use of poisonous gases. some of the photos and video we've been receiving showed dismembered bodies children who've been killed and some of that footage is coming from bani walid television that has been broadcasting these visuals almost nonstop there is still a question mark over whether or not chemical weaponry has been used doctors at the scene do report that many of the patients they were treating are suffering from toxic gas inhalation and certainly here in the same kind of thing from eyewitnesses but again we are receiving unconfident reports that many of the shells are being fired with gas inside them as of yet we cannot independently verify this or apollo as we continue to keep our focus on bani walid one of the people inside the city

actually saying at the moment. what the fighting has been going on now for the better part of three weeks and in that time all communication in and out of the city has been hampered it took us several days to make contact with people inside the besieged city they told us that these army forces were manning all the entrances and exits to inform and bani walid this despite the fact that thousands of people have fled to neighboring sites and refugee camps we have managed to make contact with a man in the us he's asked us to hide his identity because he is afraid for his family who are still inside bani walid he tells us that the army is pushing back he also says quite alarmingly that he hasn't heard from his family for several days and he's incredibly fearful as to their fate let's have a listen. this is. good no the militias fall back after. the fight it happened yesterday there in a way from the from the from the city there. is good very well if people control.

the militias. his health is really. going on but is that really big on the first. i think about was seventeen. buddy from the militias. to be big kill yes. it is six hundred from the militias own the world of the newly the along the street of the middle of the city but the numbers on the hospital. and hospitals of. the hospital center who know more than one thousand from the militias that. earlier this month the government the general national congress ordered its army to use all necessary means to deal with the situation in bani walid and sirte it does seem as if all necessary means are being used well perhaps all necessary means

being used paula but certainly for three weeks now. the citizens of body were leaving calling for international community for them to step in and offer some help any response to that at all. also at me ever since the violence started some three weeks ago residents of bani walid has been appealing to the international community for assistance moscow took up this call by drafting a statement that it put forward to the united nations security council earlier this week but that draft statement was blocked by the united states prompting a response from moscow saying that if found as odd and strange and it can to actually understand why such a statement had not been approved it's also course maybe an international community to accuse both washington and others of double standards you need to remember it wasn't so long ago that russia and china were blamed for voting against resolutions in libya and now the question is being asked why when moscow puts forward for calling for assistance in body while it is this being stopped by washington or i

doubt is a policy they're voting for us live from beirut thank you. well bit early here on our tear my colleague who spoke to a member of libya's ruling general national congress he asked mohamed sayed how the government justifies the deaths of civilians in bunny world lead. for you. and your colleagues. you would have to take the full picture we are taking care of the family everything the family. been taking out of been awarded houses and everyone we've spoken to some of. 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

has issued a stark cyber threat warning of the so-called threat of a potential pearl harbor orchestrated by hackers from abroad marina portnoy has more on this. america's military invasions interventions and targeted attacks have traditionally been deployed on the battlefield yet today a significant shift in technology has created a brand new terrain for warfare the internet which most people use for 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 a 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 the cyber attack. 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 attacks. it's also developing procedures that allow frontline troops to have a new generation of cyber weapons at their fingertips and the army's cyber effects request format otherwise known as serve is a system that allows combatants to request cyber fire operations from the u.s. cyber command some operations could include infiltrating an unclassified network inside of a ground force headquarters to disrupt their communications what the military is

trying to do know is to embed computer experts when you're dealing for example with counterinsurgency you want people who know how to do forensic work on a laptop if you capture somebody how to dump his cell phone how to prevent your mini drone your backpack joan from being interfered with i mean nearly everything even down to the to the squad level in the platoon level is starting to have hacker encounter hacker issues but it's not only tactical implementation that the u.s. is looking at allegations have emerged that washington has already launched its first offensive strike in two thousand and ten the first weapon to be made entirely out of code targeted he runs a nuclear program a computer virus known as stuxnet infected tehran's enrichment facilities with the capability to turn up the pressure inside iran's nuclear reactors or switch off the oil pipelines and tell the system operators that everything was normal the attack

destroyed nearly one thousand of iran's six thousand centrifuges according to reports the virus was a joint collaboration between the us and israel more destructive things experts however warned that washington. growing involvement in cyber warfare could come back to haunt the u.s. it's a double edged sword what you use against your enemy is of eventually going to work its way back to you everybody's looking for deniability if you send in stocks or flame or any of the other variants it's the only one they can prove who did it or how you did it you can just so you are 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 hers 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 a virtual reality marina for now r.t. new york and i just a bit earlier here when i spoke to a u.s. based author and historian dr gerald horne he says that a washington is open the floodgates for cyber attacks simply though by firing the first shot on the digital battlefield. united states has been a pioneer in terms of warfare stuxnet there are other kinds of viruses that have been released into the internet by the u.s. authorities in the washington d.c.

area there is the national security agency which is high and mirrored in terms of cyber who are fair and as we speak is seeking to disrupt the internet in various countries particularly iran motives include of course u.s. hedge of money globally and the motive includes seeking to create a foothold in foreign countries for u.s. based transnational corporations when the united states begins cyber warfare it basically opens doors box it opens the opportunity for other countries to retaliate against united states itself. and still to come for you this hour here on accusations flying north sudan the israel of attacking a factory and causing this potions near the capital to tel aviv remains indifferent something more about the issue of putting.
