say pm here in moscow this is our t. international tonight libyans are voting for a new parliament but few are expected to turn out during the worst security crisis in years and public apathy towards the battle. it is human rights watch reveals shocking details of the abuse of detainees by unaccountable militias across libya we investigate this. also to russian lawmakers repealed permission to deploy troops to ukraine in a move to support peace efforts the council of europe tells r.t. it's a positive step. and in iraq battles with militants over a key oil refinery leave dozens dead as u.s. advisors stop propping up the beleaguered army now.

if you just joined us one is kevin owen it's very good to have your company your top story than this libyans are choosing a new parliament the worst amid the worst violence in the country since the revolution three years ago turnouts expected to be low with less than a third of the population even registered to vote right now since for gadhafi was toppled the libyan leadership's revolving door is seeing heads of state come and go whoever is chosen this time around will be the country's six leader in just two years but the government still holds little sway any way over large parts of the country where breakaway militias are running rampant and there are also fears of a military coup of to rogue general garner of popular support in fighting the militants is artie's paul asleep. it was a time when david cameron and his allies paraded the libyan revolution as

a win for western democracy very bright and salute your courage and well we are proud of the role that we play doubt we know this was your revolution from your bravery a time when tony blair's handshake with colonel gadhafi was conveniently forgotten and maybe now the british prime minister might want to forget that the libyan democratic project did not turn out quite as planned the method libya is. op and violence state was allowed political stability zation our internal security for its people always out in security in its border the point of entry election is underway but the hand of the rule seems very far away two months ago parliament was overrun by gunmen jihadists militias and gangsters have taken over the streets as the climate of fear intensifies a growing number of libyans look to general belief or have tar as they say via his

supporters see him as the only man capable of crushing radical armed groups and building a national army the us excel has promised to rid the country of foreign fighters and with strong links to egypt's new president washington considers him a cia asset but not contained with meddling from a far the united states has sparked outrage by seizing a libyan citizen from benghazi but i think that america came in and kidnapped a person and we might have different opinions about him what of this is alleged than scepticism no matter who these what they can mean and keeping that someone from going ghazi. but america's saying nothing america is not responsible for what happened in libya nor is it responsible for what's happening in iraq today western powers were quick to praise themselves for they were initially if it's in libya and just as fast to disavow all this. uncivility in being gandhi the bombed out ruins from general have towns lost offensive still smoldering libyans office treated but

feel powerless even with voting slips in the hand the last time they had of evolution did not turn out so well for the c n t. twenty eleven uprising also washes an ear of economic instability for libya to oil production dropped sharply and has so far failed to reach pre revolution levels g.d.p. had risen a bit but now it's back down again over poor levels of all output and fears of another civil war the director of libya's first think tank believes the country's ripe sadly for a new conflict the difficulty is whether or not those that are chosen through the elections are respected boy by the collective will of the people whether militias or other on groups you know respect the outcomes of of an actual electoral process are there for the symptoms in libya that could. result in civil conflict and conflict among stroy confidantes various militias and but amongst

various cities. though i would say that's a very very nuanced conflict that is it's mainly a conflict over financial assets i wouldn't say it's a it's a people versus people who are tired versus town all out onslaught and it wouldn't mimic the revolution or violence that we saw or three years ago but i would say that there are some dangerous signs of the moment meanwhile human rights watch is warning of dire abuses in libya a report based on interviews with detainees highlights torture in jails including strip searches and beatings one of its authors says the tough security crisis in the country is no excuse for such violations we spoke to gerry simpson earlier he blamed unaccountable militias for the abuse. they spoke of being whipped with cables burned with cigarettes kicked in their heads suspended from trees with their feet and torsos whipped over prolonged periods of time women were searched by male guards and clearly intimate cavity searches and in eight of the nine centers we

visited the conditions were appalling and amounted to inhuman and degrading treatment with sometimes hundreds of people crammed into a space meant for just a few different militia who have been integrated into the libyan interior ministry run different centers some guards take bribes to release people and so it could well be that their violence is motivated by which to put pressure on the people to pay money to leave the sentence in other cases they don't take any bribes and they just detain people for months and in times over a year in that case it could be that the abuses are simply fueled by what seems to be widespread alcohol abuse drug abuse by the guards and it could also be down to basic racism which is prevalent in libya what concerns us the most is that these detention centers don't seem to have any purpose even even if people are deported from the centers into neighboring countries that they were involved right back in libya's borders wide open and so it's very unclear what purpose these centers.

a letter to federation council the upper chamber off the russian parliament asking them to repeal this mandate in order to start this debilitation process in ukraine russian president has been on visits to where the often president has also supported the russian president on his call for civilization in the southeastern ukraine also russian president was calling on ukrainian authorities to extend this cease fire that is currently in place there it is the last twenty seventh of june but i think that perhaps it should be extended in order to give all sides of the conflict time to lay down arms and come to. the conflict and that suggestion has been supported by. sea. meantime the number of ukrainian refugees here in russia is now thought to be more than sixty thousand many of those lost their homes during here as military operation of these summer is still cut off militaristic across the border in russia the refugees are sheltering you dozens of camps which have been

started by local authorities and volunteers sporadic gunfire back home makes the ceasefire even more fragile ukrainians who decided to stay back fear they too will eventually be forced out at is andrew farmer discuss the crisis with preserves the president of the council of europe's parliamentary assembly this crisis has a tremendous impact on the humanitarian side of the people who are deeply displaced to take away the power of intervening military in russia by mr putin and then by the council of the federation is really a positive step which we welcome we should build on that step as well as the peace plan which was sure put the rest of the saying we are actually ahead on that you asian does the threat of further sanctions actually help the situation

well the i did the sanctions the parliamentary assembly it took and i only can speak for the parliamentary assembly of the council of europe we suspended the voting rights of the russian delegation and to take part in the executing body but we did not exclude them on the contrary we want them to to come and to work with us and i think that is important. a lot of elements today the two ukrainian regions that are branching out from kiev a partly merge as well as joining forces donetsk and gun say they'll create government bodies to operate as a federation. stay with us as we continue to follow developments in ukraine if you can on air and online at r.t. dot com. write the scene. first. and i think that your.

iraqi army air strikes early wednesday reportedly killed at least thirty two people in the strategically important town of baiji that's where government forces are trying to fend off militant attacks on the country's largest oil refinery is a missed group isis said earlier said it had captured that facility the rest has already led to a fuel crisis in some parts of the country washington's reluctant to send in troops but more than one hundred u.s. military advisers are offering assistance british m.p. jeremy corbyn thinks that western meddling is driven a rag to the edge here anyway. the growth of the isis forces is a direct result of the overthrow of the entire system around saddam hussein and then the promotion of what has actually turned out to be very sectarian government

in iraq ever since then and also the huge amounts of money that are available for the isis forces so we have what is developing into a very well funded civil war by controlling the oil resources or most of the resources of iraq from the isis forces the present hour at least the biggest refinery then that has caused panic buying and chaos in the rest of iraq but it also cuts off a huge element of financial support for the god. rock and the long term stability of the country is very much in doubt because you now have two broad they really just sectarian forces fighting each other that was never the narrative in iraq was for the. united states and britain and others invaded it was then a rather simply. secular country in the sense that the constitution was relatively secular the outlook is very very grim indeed and this is

a lucrative industry generating a reported eighty four billion dollars in global revenue and it makes sense everywhere around the world boys generally make kids happy except when the cia gets involved according to the washington post the spy agency concocted a plan in two thousand and five to develop osama bin ladin demon dolls aimed at scaring children and their parents to instill fear in families that would cause them to turn away from the real terrorists the twelve inch figurines were painted with dissolving material designed to peel off and reveal a red faced demon like creature with peter c. and a black facial markings the code name for the project was devil eyes the plan was to distribute the toys to changer in afghanistan and pakistan where the cia was trying to win hearts and minds the cia claims only three prototypes were developed

before the project was canceled however a source tells the washington post that hundreds of bin ladin demon action figures were developed and sent to karate in two thousand and six although the cia did not move forward with the covert operation one of the creepy demon figures reportedly remains the agency's headquarters reporting from washington d.c. marina point r.t. . the middle east a few things through better ways of fighting terrorism and scaring children with toys. psychological war or fear is. a weapon in the struggle in modern day war but it's not the only. factor that defines these kinds of. measures the usually the secret service or intelligence community. in fighting terrorism however since

what's up everyone i might be martin and this is breaking up the set today the fastest growing criminal enterprise worldwide sadly revolves around human trafficking and in fact international profits from labor and sexual exploitation of individuals make up an estimated thirty two billion dollar industry in it when we hear the term human trafficking we might not immediately think of the u.s. but the truth is that tens of thousands of people many of them children are bought and sold as sex slaves all across the country according to government records the f.b.i. is innocence lost program has recovered some thirty six hundred children from sexual exploitation over the last ten years and just yesterday after

a weeklong operation spanning more than one hundred american cities the agency reported that the rescue of one hundred sixty eight children were subjected to sex trafficking this nationwide sting also resulted in the arrests of two hundred eighty one alleged pimps with the help of local law enforcement now while the rescue of these children is certainly great news it's worth pointing out that the covert nature of human trafficking means the vast majority of these crimes go unpunished especially considering that government officials often turn a blind eye or even help the silicate the trafficking but if you want to help get involved in the fight visit the website for the national human trafficking resource center of call the human trafficking hotline because until every one of values life the same the most innocent and hope helpless among us will continue to be swept into the dragnet of this sickening practice. it was a. very hard to take. that

and development americans work more than nearly every other country in the industrialized world the average american aged twenty five to fifty four with at least one child spends nearly nine hours and they engage in work less than three hours for leisure and a pathetic one point two caring for others is a really i mean wonder that parents have almost no time for their kids starting from the moment they're born because perhaps the most stunning part of our in same way intensive work culture is that this country does not require companies to offer parental leave it's a problem that's so evident that even got me attention at the white house yesterday obama hosted a summit on working families where he strongly condemned the american parental leave policy saying quote many women can't even get a paid day off to give birth and it's a pretty low bar there's only one developed country in the world that does not offer paid maternity leave and that's us and that's not a list you want to be on on your lonesome it's time to.
