libyan civilians. we're attacked in the airlie hours of this morning killing fifteen people including. children are up. there is the mothers. but. the number is fifty and. nato has denied these claims just as it's never debated the death of more than eight hundred eleven government says were killed by their bombs the nine people killed in sunday's bombing of a residential building in tripoli remain the only civilian casualties i can buy the alliance which blamed a mistake technical failure a former pentagon official says the only thing clear about the nato campaign is the mountain casualty toll and it's inflicting on the people they try to achieve a certain level of humanitarian effort and initially but the protracted bombing is now increasingly hitting civilian targets and it's creating a very negative reaction i think it does raise the question of what is nato's role continued role going to be there as discontented actions increases other voices become more and more than. the voices of the libyan peo

we do all we can to avoid civilian casualties we are in libya to protect civilians against attacks and this is the reason why our commanders are very very careful in identifying legitimate military targets. have to mediate in libya they sent an envoy and as mikhail margelov arrived intensified bombing of libya begad why is that. there's no link between the two events we appreciate all attempts to find a political solution to the crisis in libya because obviously there is no military solution only we need a political process having said that i still think that it's a strong military pressure under good after regime will facilitate a fruitful political process mr rangel of yesterday in fact stated and you just mentioning that that that the military conflict doesn't have to be there means that it could be resolved peacefully he's stating that he believes that both the rebels and the regime forces are ready to negotiate that they both play their war is not the way out of this conflict so why are you still gone in libya with this information coming from the russian envoy that both sides are

between civilian deaths. and the banks that finance their food to banks customers bernsen looks really transparent about what they are using the sea savers money for so it's not easy to find a recent report by spanish n.g.'s a ten we've built as many is full of teen banks since they roof over the funding weapons produces the dva is the spanish bank this being most tax if i don't think produces controversial weapons and it's exactly this kind of large scale financing they complain is now trying to rein in pushing for the development of all right first policies to ensure the banks are held accountable many of the banks named in the investigation and now coming forward to say their policies on funding on to production are to change with or without legislation but it's until that happens in the murky world of arms production wall of profitable business. r.t. if you're it. all the prophets of war in danger civilian lives in libya in afghanistan with death of innocent bystanders punished later i will report on the

in a number of civilian casualties that result because of that their own strengths. like the taleban in our qaeda and other groups in pakistan to recruit new members and they're doing. so very washington now sees yemen as the most dangerous all kind of outpost and he's planning to step up drone attacks on the country establishing a base in the persian gulf specifically for that purpose especially now when bin hons replacement iman also laurie is not to be building up all kind has already significant presence in yemen. the u.s. had been cooperated with yemeni counterterrorism forces in targeting al qaida but they've since left the field preoccupy. why is that with the nationwide turmoil against the sollie regime that means the americans are likely to have a freer hand going it alone with the cia to take a central role because the agency is not subject to the accountability the us military is legally under expect more bombs to fall on yemen when the us starts to hit people who are numbers along the new arabian peninsula then i think the real worry is that it expands to

this week has seen a number of reports of growing civilian casualties. in the latest nato bombing terkel he says fifteen people were killed in the eastern town of brag on the claim denied by the airlines maybe it officials say over eight hundred civilians have died since the operation began a mart. reports now on how many libyans are desperate to flee to safety this family hasn't had the war quiet and peaceful like this one for months they've escaped from the libyan rebel stronghold of benghazi to hide in this refugee camp in the worst of the country after a life in their native town became. remember it's not safe there anymore it's become dangerous and it's not only because of explosions and gunshots people from the government and you call them rebels we call them terrorists came to me and told me we have to arrest your daughter because we know that she supports gadhafi. these key has been long and hard for the reason the family let him go and i had to hide for some time from them as they've been searching for me then we knew there was a bus coming from

anywhere with this munitions and not kill civilians so ok you're going to protect civilians by intervening with the type of munitions that cannot avoid killing civilians and the military of course no instance. what about what happened last night the family and close a fell victim to the latest airstrike it's a great card quite get the good fever they say they're not purposely out to kill you well they do want to stand there and i will do nothing you know because it seems they are striking at those close to him in. absolutely and if they could kill gadhafi they would and there but the type of munitions that they're using where there are these are you know piloted aircraft or drone strike in the afghanistan i mean you cannot employ that you can't these are not smart weapons whatever they might say if you're going to attack a building in a in a urban environment you don't know you know there's a margin for error it's all right and you're going to kill civilians it's just they know that they know that and they've only admitted to go to why but you know that there has to be more well what about

they have killed more civilians that the losses from the initials problems there feels more civilians than lives or bombings so the real idea is not protect civilians the rio de is to achieve the economical strategy called the interest of the of the west us in europe i mean the oil i mean the financial reserves of libya i remind that the us is a bankrupt country and also all preventing that kind of would be a sort of turn of to do i.m.f. some buying for african development the old idea is to make the public international opinion accept the idea that nato is a cup of the world the that nato has the right to make wars where they want to revisit the people in hospitals and we saw victims this is million population is attacked that must be very. it has nothing to do with him in the chair and will. and it's not just for intervention in libya that's claiming a growing number of civilian lives as we reveal later in the program. when the us started seeing people who are members of all by the new arabian peninsula and then i think the real worry is that it expands this war to the point where s

keep killing civilians. libyan towns and cities and you go to gadhafi because he from the start was saying the popular movement in the east of the country was a was a movement that was sponsored by the west and he used that to bolster his position the the wall has been lengthened. and it's out of the gulf is in. strong if not stronger position now than he was when the west first got involved. during nato intervention in libya colonel gadhafi loyalists have been using cluster bombs these are burned weapons that dispersed many mines over a wide area with civilian casualties almost inevitable and the syrian photo reports it's embarrassing for madrid because the money trail behind the weapons leads right back to spain. just one strike it cost the bomb can spread thousands of small explosives if the white areas fired into populated areas if they were in misrata recently it always guarantees civilian deaths and many reasons more than one hundred countries than that without the markings on the shells found in the l
