look at the global financial headline news coverage reports. witnesses in libya say the situation in bali walid is getting more dangerous with foreign snipers spotted on rooftops and allegations of chemical weapons being used in the besieged town. the i.m.f. trashes greece's plan to deal with its massive deficit has that used last line of economic defense celebrates one year in service. and we look at how the two main

runners in the u.s. presidential race plan to deal with the powerful israeli lobby and television on the relenting edge to bomb iraq. thank you for joining r.t. this friday on charon terror it's twelve o'clock here in moscow well gangs of foreign mercenaries reportedly from the gulf states and turkey have joined the assault on bani walid libya this is according to ali for all his relatives are trapped inside the siege town which is traditionally loyal to the country's toppled colonel gadhafi regime he's currently in egypt and we're discussing his identity over safety concerns. they told something dangerous there. in the snow but as a as the photo and not the new t.v. and maybe if it got out of the degree of the room somewhere else inside the city

and you have media do it go through the snow but you know i mean really if. you slow down. and use google nor by the. google if you didn't know do today to look if you think it's a bit of you know and be today to talk of the if you think city where they jump from house to how do i get those cleared everything that we would know family get our now or if somebody tried to come back to almost the minutia of belief into them and they date back at them by witness. the earlier claim by libyan authorities that bani walid has been captured is being contradicted by witnesses who say the battle is ongoing there are also reports that pro-government militias have unpacked chemical stockpiles and use the weapons against civilians more on that from march's middle east correspondent paul slayer. we continue to hear these reports of wide

scale killing of armed gangs and militia looting people's homes and patrolling the streets now we are in contact with one who has family inside the city and he tells us that they tell him that upwards of five hundred people have so far been killed of course we have no way of independently verifying this information we are also in contact with a local journalist who is on the outskirts of the city and we're being told by this person that thousands of people have tried to return to in the confusion over the reports of whether or not the city had fallen now we understand that they have been prevented from going back into the city by these roadblocks that dani has set up and that soldiers have been firing in the air causing wide scale panic and as a result thousands of people are now stranded on the desert highway now we also continue to hear these reports unconfirmed as of yet that chemical weaponry is being used reports of phosphorus gas and nerve gas i can confirm that these

militias used internationally prohibited weapons they used phosphorous bombs nerve gas we have documented all these in videos recorded the missiles they used on the wire transfers raining down from these missiles are many people died without being wounded or shot they died as a result of gases the world needs to see who are they targeting other really good doctors men other children women and old men killed his men the prevent the media from getting into bani walid simply because they fear the press my triple their crimes and terrible deeds. the united nations mission in libya says it doesn't have any more information than what it is being told by the government and points out that it is not in the city of bani walid and it cannot add any additional information the director also did not comment in fact refused to comment as to why they were not inside the city now the russian foreign minister sergey lavrov has said that he is not concerned by the fact that the army is inside the city but

rather that moscow is concerned why the situation is happening and what russia wants is for the united nations to provide information in terms of what is really going on in a society now we did ask the united states state department why their story was being ignored in the west and the your answer was that it was not being ignored but followed closely but you just need to take a look at the u.s. state department web site and you'll see there that the last time a bunny while it was mentioned was back at the beginning of this year so of course many questions being asked why is the united states and other powers failing to condemn the excessive use of force in the city in the same time why have they not condemned because human rights abuses that are so clearly taking place there the battle for bani walid has lasted several weeks now but unlike last year's revolution against gadhafi it's yet to capture the attention of the mainstream media author and journalist neil clark says that's because the current situation in

libya is an inconvenient truth for those who backed change there. let's think back to twenty eleven we couldn't because newspaper in the u.k. or us or put on the b.b.c. or c.n.n. without hearing about what was going to be a humanitarian disaster were told colonel gadhafi forces were killing lots of people they were going to have a massive massacre in benghazi and because of that we went to war that that was a reasonable war and today the situation leverage much worse you've got a humanitarian catastrophe taken place the number of people killed in debian is going up with by between ten and twenty times we've got massacres going on at the moment and there's silence complete silence here in the u.k. and in the u.s. they got what they want what they wanted they got rid of gadhafi they've got a crow western government in power now in tripoli they've taken control of the oil industry there's privatization western corporations really you know they don't really give a toss to be honest about what's going on about about the human rights abuses about the demonstrations about throughout the country it's time to move on to syria of course.

greece apparently stands no chance of meeting its deficit reduction deadlines according to a preliminary report by the international monetary fund's debt inspectors nevertheless they remain under wanted the run up will recommend more austerity on top of eighty nine stalled reforms that athens has yet to push through the leaders are also mulling giving greece a time extension to implement cuts but the timing of it all is symbolic on this day one year ago a desperate e.u. agreed on some of its most extreme crisis fighting measures effects of which as art has more international reports have proved somewhat underwhelming. measures approved by european union leaders these day in ago were designed to tackle the debt crisis the german chancellor angela merkel described as europe's worst economic crisis since the end of world war two e.u. has spent months hammering this package out of the venture it was proclaimed and it

was hoped to first save greece by a write in of powerful for its. that which amounted to at that time again to one hundred sixty percent of the country's g.d.p. and the second aim of this package was to protect other european countries from this financial instability too and for that purpose it was decided to more than double the european union bailout fund also known as european financial stability facility we've been hearing skepticism already than but a year later it's clear that not only has the crisis not drawn back but also the european financial climate has watched and with more and more countries now joining greece in experiencing financial economic fallout likes a call to go experts say the raw several reasons behind this fiasco and one of them is some countries squandering in tough economic times this two continuing to spend too much cash on military sector rather than social means and greece is

a very good example here of this very bad tendency let's take a look. the greek people are making their anger towards government spending cuts very clear. one area where greece continues to spend big though is when it comes to weapons seven billion euros last year alone spent on defense considers that it's it's facing a threat from turkey. and that we need to maintain a. credible military forces to that threat and one of the key places where greece shops for its defense needs is germany athens is orders make up around fifteen percent of berlin's arms exports the most in europe despite germany's repeated belt tightening mantra of course of export earnings from germany and nato interests and so it's just being done and it's not being talked about so much every once

a while a topic pops up but that's just being done and politicians in germany are not really questioning it with greeks enduring a dire financial plight with little sign of reprieve is there an element of hypocrisy in germany calling for cuts while encouraging greece to buy its weapons. not all of berlin's elected representatives buying into their gun peddling government's priorities for them social spending cutting is the first you know thing that comes to their mind for me as a green the first priority that comes to my life is cutting into defense sector as a proportion of its national earnings greece spends almost twice as much as any of the e.u. member on defense compounded by a less than transparent human process and a reputation for corruption i think there is in the lead in greece both within the poll its course fear as well as the. say of weaponry that does keep specific percentages and briberies it never

a single cell of arms with former defense minister. city facing charges of stealing government cash it's easy to see why big money for the military gets people riled especially when economists estimate that if greece had cut defense spending over the past decade to similar levels of fellow e.u. states they would have saved around one hundred fifty billion euro more than their last bailout peter oliver r.t. . and in about ten minutes time our business desk will delve into the real impact the bailout fund has had over the past year but straight after the break a look at just how free the broadcasters in britain really are. london embraces the launch of a new opposition t.v. station that aims to be competent iran's government after the e.u. chopped temperament state run broadcasts on its airwaves all that after a short break here on our team.

nineteen iranian channels have been banned in the countries that's called iran for not tolerating free speech among other things well played lads well played i love the smell of hypocrisy in the morning personally but of censorship doesn't bother me that much because there has always been censorship and there were always be censorship if there are any words or symbols or opinions that could get you bumped off dear or legal trouble in your country the guess what you have censorship sorry to say it but that's how it is i don't mind a country saying that there is something so antithetical to their way of life that it must be banned i'm fine with that that's your business in your country and you should be able to protect your culture and your values but the light in me and tell

me that you have censorship free when you don't it's your choice you let your reading channels back on the air or come out of the closet and admit you believe in restricted speech but that's just my opinion. more news today violence is once again flared up. these are the images the world has been seeing from the streets of canada. trying to corporations rule the day. we won't go into the future chris so are cowards this month to move is the center of our universe the tides are forever while the sun's rays can be fickle innovative

construction methods last cost as well as environmental damage brand new turbines boost efficiency with a simplified design and who needs batteries blakes can store energy discover a new era of clean power driven by the moon technology i'm getting here on r.g.p. we've got the future covered. the. line. would be soon which brightened if you knew about soon from phones to christianize. the screen stunts on t.v. don't come. wealthy british style it's an expert on the title.

market why not come to. find out what's really happening to the global economy with mike stronger for a no holds barred look at the global financial headlines tune into cars a report on our. welcome back to our t. with me karen terrill ching a new iranian opposition t.v. channel has been launched in london a founder of the haas says his goal is to overthrow president mahmoud ahmadinejad you know ravel as being embraced in europe as a success for freedom of speech even the tech run itself is denied a voice in the after nineteen of its state run stations were taken off the air party's polly boycott takes up the story. in london we went to the launch of a brand new and very different in reigning news channel this studio belongs to t.v.

now from foss the rocket translates to freedom and that could give an indication of the political agenda behind the new t.v. station in fact its founder is so very many opposed to the current government that he says that he wants to help the iranian people to capitated the current regime denies having any financial backing or any seal of approval from international organizations or western governments cannot believe. the british government back a. regime hardly can be against t.v. for the change of dictatorship. they want to put this regime by on the news in fact the very emergence of a new oppositional iranian television channel in britain teamed with involuntary departure of press t.v. from the u.k.

that's led some to question whether the brits pull their love of trumpeting free speech and balance by doing so very selectively obviously. very early on the first country in the world that. television news channel they're only too glad to welcome a propaganda channel as it were the one percent does no one in iran even those opposed to it but even those opposed presumably do it islamic theocracy. would support this out t.v. its founders say that they're inspired by the arab spring and television channels like al-jazeera and al-arabiya in fact they say that unlike in libya and afghanistan they want to promote political change from within and looks like perhaps because of their oppositional political agenda nobody here is stopping the . london. israel's plans for iran go far beyond banning or

supporting t.v. channels and tel aviv's top ally the united states will have to choose whether to back or block them and aren't he's going to turn now reports for the next u.s. president it will ultimately be a choice between israel support and the good of his own people a red line should be drawn right here the line beyond which lies war with iran and many thought benjamin netanyahu is message at the u.n. general assembly this fall was addressed not so much to the international community but to washington netanyahu would like to be able to communicate to the world that the israelis are ready which he has to attack and that it will be done with the full support of the united states and he's not getting that the tension in the media peaked when president obama practically referred to israel's warmongering as noise that he's trying to block out any pressure that i feel is simply to do what's

right for the american people and i am going to block out any noise that's out there pledging full and unconditional support for israel is part of any presidential election campaign in the u.s. the possibility of war with iran needs a new dimension to this election season the israelis will attack the arabians they will attack it's just a matter of when so americans must decide which presidential candidate can better manage the situation despite campaign big courting president obama has strong allies like israel under the bus the last debate on foreign policy has shown the candidates hold almost identical views on the issue what if the prime minister of israel called you on the phone and said our bombers are on the way we're going to bomb iraq. what do you say let's not go into hypotheticals of that nature our relationship with israel my relationship with the prime minister of israel is such that we would not get

a call saying our bombers are on the way when i've sent young men and women into harm's way i always understand that that is the last resort not the first resort of course a military action is the last resort as far as red lines for iran i understand and share this or not you know whose insistence that iran should not obtain a nuclear weapon the red line is iran may not have a nuclear weapon iran is a nuclear nation is unacceptable the united states president obama said exactly the same thing. twenty nine standing ovations to these really prime minister's speech before congress among other things showed just how powerful these really lobby is in washington despite president obama's support of a two state solution for israel and the palestinians his party members that their convention this fall called for moving the capital of israel from tel of the of to jerusalem it remains evident that there is no daylight between the two parties of israel obama was the guy who gave the impression with his cairo speech and others

that he was willing to begin to renegotiate america's policy on you know on israel and palestine but in fact when he came down to hard political realities has backed off but will he back off when israel decides to attack iran whoever is elected as america's next president will have to walk on the same raise the weight which is between this world that is inching to bomb iran and the american people who don't want another costly and devastating war based on phony red lines in washington i'm going to check on. dimitri's next with the business news on today marks one year exactly since a breakthrough in solving the greek crisis isn't that right well that's a very very correct question because was it a breakthrough or not. but exactly a year ago banks agreed to basically writes all fifty percent of their greek debts and since then well not much has changed has it but today's danish saxo bank says

the situation in europe is very much reminiscent of groundhog day let's talk more to the bank and notably its chief economist stephen jacobson steen good to see you so our year ago did you actually expect us to be where we are today. i think we in what we call an extended pretense in ohio. as you rightly say we call a look basically we're trying to prove a day which keeps repeating itself we are the living experience of what einstein used to define as insanity keep repeating the same experiment expecting different results so you know today on the day greece is out with a report saying they will need an additional thirty billion dollars the euro story after one year ago this was supplanted by the plan to save greens ultimately greece will have to have a break from the euro and europe needs to take real reforms and not continue to

just talk talk until all right well the first free quarters of the year ave been optimistic if i can say that. in europe we have politicians very slow in taking decisions we have every day we have well every week we have headlines that you know a new e.u. summit did not generate any results you have people striking how long can the e.u. afford to live this way. i think what in terms of the catalyst for change if you want to call that i think the german election would be exactly that don't forget that merkel's coalition is falling apart she will need to find a new partner in the recent polls going into this is meaning she has to go across the aisle to the s.p.d. and s.p.d. which is far more pro european than merkel is meaning they see in a bill in order to position ourselves we need to be less pro europe so i think what we see is a combination of germany being still saying nine nine nine and at the same time

that the social tension as you just briefly will increase i mean to me the real surprise here is that the social tension is not bigger and more to be seen in the streets because ultimately this extended britain the victim has become the middle class and the employees who today takes home listen ever before and what they do take home is actually not able to buy them anything close to what it did just one year or two years ago well do you think other than the nations nonny nations such as the united states or china could do something and should they do something about the greek problem and the your problem. that's an affirmative no and another affirmative no i mean first of all i travel you know hundred twenty days a year into asia six months ago dade they want to entertain the question what's going on in europe today they're more focused on their own domestic problems the you has us has one big thing coming up which is not the u.s. election but the fiscal cliff which the politicians is a win is

a lose lose situation because either they get a compromise which is bad for budgets deficits all they get and non compromise which is bad for growth so i think what we see in the world across the globe is essentially that the slowdown in economies continues the leg of reform the lead of action too much talk. navigating two wars at a point where what i call the perception of reality is as wide as possible ever meaning that the real economy is heating is trial and meanwhile we see a pretty modest in everything else pretending that they are still whole and light at the end of the tunnel all right thank you very much stephen jacobson the chief economist from sites of baghdad for us live and i'm afraid that's all we have time for coming up next the latest updates technology update on a. it

hello and welcome to technology update with demand so warring and resources limited the sun could be setting on an outdated era of global energy simply put new alternatives to invoke alternative sources or the best bet going forward energy directly from the sun is often the first thing that comes to mind when people mention solar power however when you really think about it the sun's responsible for far more than just fuelling solar panels wind farms are an indirect result of the sun's rays as convection currents drive global airstreams and create the majority of gusts on the globe. and in fact there'd be no plants or trees to make biofuels from if there was no sun to spur on photosynthesis in the first place. as those plants die off and decompose thermal heat and pressure slowly turns those into fossil fuels like coal and oil however there is one source of energy that has no apparent.
