we've been hearing about the volunteers around people in the wrong the capital they've said so several checkpoints are wrong tripoli following the clashes reporters there but also we can see that the n.c.c. a warning that the country may fall into civil war with the situation very dangerous trying to calm down fatah says and trying to take control over the tensions and not to follow them to escalate further. we've seen that. protest in benghazi when people have been demonstrated against and to see if the end to see this trial is trying to take control of the situation but unfortunately so far with little success. refined ocean reporting there for us well last week human rights groups in the middle east presented extensive evidence they say of war crimes carried out in libya by forces during last year's war investigative journalists on a soft told me many libyans feel the revolution was hijacked rather disappointed with. the thing about revolutions is they're not simply passive events there is

a whole awakening of a population in the middle east but also in india and people saying well this is not what we have not prizing for the victims themselves you know the victims the new victims you know supporters of the old regime saying well you talk about democracy where is our inclusion in this so you get the sense there is this fracturing the new electoral law is very how can i put it has made people very very unhappy it seems there's a reintroduction of tribalism and patches networks and so on and so you know. that there is a lot of disquiet in every corner of the at the moment it's a truism but there's no such thing as a clean role and civil war is the most brutal affairs and so you so you can imagine . nato but i need to imagine nato really pushed the envelope and they broke the resolution they were there to defend civilians that was the mandate and they were and they essentially became the rebel rebels air force and so they were attacking

in the you know almost total annihilation of it very messy very brutal and i think there's quite a lot of acts of revenge taking place as well. gulf nations are pulling their arab league observers from syria even though the mission's been extended for another month the saudi dominated gulf cooperation council also wants the un's most powerful group the security council to put new pressure on damascus to end the bloodshed syria's foreign minister his part accuses some arab states of joining an international conspiracy against the country and of a blatant interference in syria's internal affairs damascus insists it will continue to take all the necessary steps to protect the country against what it calls chaos syria has already rejected an arab brokered peace plan calling for president assad to step down the use impose more sanctions squeeze the regime results in syria first reports next is the syrian people who are bearing the brunt . trying to shine a light on what's happening in the country the observer mission looks set to

continue now for another month but every day here is proving more and more of a challenge for the people. due to the european sanctions in sweden arguing syria we don't have any tourist we don't have any foreigners the e.u. has no one pays its eleventh consecutive round of sanctions this time putting a travel ban on people and businesses linked with the assad regime is we've been finding out the cascade of sanctions has swamp syria's struggling economy actually they are going to see the syrian people in a way or another i mean if they have governmental sanctions to be imposed that their business with the syrian government not with the people but the power is completely out of this door in the center of damascus at the moment and this is one of the main criticisms aimed at the economic sanctions this that this simply affecting the race is every day syrian people is that most businesses in this area now are dependent upon these drugs the diesel generators that are needed because

power that i think on an almost daily part of people's lives where the not everyone can afford to back up at home with his wife and children and then says when the power cuts out the family simply have to make a generator is very expensive it costs like. sixty thousand three hundred pounds as i know it's not cheap and it's not just families and small businesses that are being affected oil production has fallen dramatically after an exports embark a and the cost of raw materials here has risen as one official from the chamber of commerce tells us a plummeting currency and rising prices have pushed many businesses to take their trade and money elsewhere in the business of money don't put all the money in the business keep somebody maybe maybe.

this is the. mic in the market because norm or cash money money for. and surely to recent form halfway through our interview the lights go out. oh. yeah it really did this or i have. but your who. stops. are on one two hours after the spike cools the dialogue is being political and economic pressure on the country that's been favored in attempting to resolve the crisis the arab league observed in mission has also made little headway say further then they say they were there simply to investigate and to reports there have been numerous calls for even more observers to be allowed into the country i think the real issue is that the syrians need to allow in a much much more neutral

a much more wide ranging a much more forceful international observer mission if they've got nothing to hide if it's if they're generally not killing innocent people then one of the go to the the sanctions impact is heavily contested is this need doubt that they are putting pressure on an increasingly isolated government many people in the country it will say made an already desperate situation even worse. r.t. damascus syria still ahead spinning the web washington is coming down hard on compu . didn't like terrorists and drug smugglers was one of the leading players in the fight for digital freedom tells us about. iran's apparently found a way to stay in business despite a new e.u. oil embargo an asset freeze india's reportedly agreed to pay around in gold for its oil instead of u.s. dollars reports suggested rome's biggest customer china could also follow suit. as the latest from new delhi. india actually has already bought iranian oil using gold

instead of u.s. dollars and this is extremely significant because every year india actually spends twelve billion u.s. dollars on iranian oil and now actually beijing is also saying that it might want to jump on board with new delhi and also look into some sort of agreement with iran to continue to get oil new delhi and beijing actually account for forty percent of the imports of iranian oil the e.u. only counts for twenty percent obviously we've been talking about all week about this oil embargo that the e.u. announced on monday that they're hoping to roll out and put into place by chill live first and obviously if new delhi and beijing find a way to continue trading with iran using gold instead of u.s. dollars this would severely hurt what the european union and washington is trying to do russia has also said that it wants to continue trading with iran using domestic car and seize instead of u.s. dollars obviously the point of the e.u.

oil embargo would be to bring iran back to the negotiations table over its nuclear program obviously iran has consistently maintained that this is a peaceful nuclear program the west believes that they are potentially developing nuclear weapons so in response to the use announcement on monday that it will place an oil embargo on iran iran has said that it's going to shut the strait of hormuz which is actually worth twenty to thirty percent of the world's oil supplies shuttles through in the united states is that it will absolutely not allow that to happen even sort of alluding to the fact that it could potentially use military force to make sure that that strait stays open moscow has also said that think sions are obsolete form of sort of punishing a country and that it's actually going to be counterproductive and another interesting thing to note here is that if beijing and new delhi continue to trade with iran with gold it's actually going to increase the value of gold. and decrease

the value of the u.s. dollar at the global reserve current. priest through your work who figures the reporting from new delhi will soraya support already spoke to me she's independent research writer in california she says the pressure on to run has nothing to do with the country's nuclear program america's pushing for regime change in iraq and america needs a compliant iran just to t.j. a clean one is very important is resource rich and it really has helped russia and china a buffer against western imperialism so it is important to washington to take out the regime in iran and install a puppet that would be siding with american power structure and american and wishes in the region has done nothing to do with the nuclear issue will include war has been going on for thirty two years america and israel have unleashed the terrorists in iran they've been taking out people they've been killing them and sanctions are

warfare there's no doubt about it so this is nothing new and they will continue to do that but i think iran has become well experienced in being able to fight off these force and these covert actions and america and israel the western allies now europeans are only harming themselves and confident iran will eventually survive it . soros a purple rich independent researcher and writer in california there are. vigils been held at moscow's domodedovo international airport exactly year now after the deadly bombing in the arrivals hall where people laid flowers and lit candles for the victims of the tragedy here a suicide bomber blew himself up killing thirty seven street investigators identified the man as a twenty year old from russia's republic of english trained by islamist terrorists in the north caucasus region seventeen militants linked to the attack were killed in special operations last year four others have been detained there about to be charged but one of the world's most wanted terrorist dr morrow who claims he must

just pro extradition for a while after it all about but i'm just going to go with the other side anyway so. all that work that we put in. them and all but he with their when he's i'm not sure if you were there last time before when he said with a good strong argument that all went out the window completely clean or giving him no no we can't be held. accountable. the u.k. u.s. extradition treaty was signed in two thousand and three supposedly to bring international terrorists to justice but many feel it's unfair to british citizens it makes it far easier for america to extradite someone from the u.k. than the other way around so for extraditions of five to two in america's favor veteran british m.p. simming campbell's leading a review of the treaty by his party the smaller partner in the governing coalition

what i argue for is that the position of a british citizen should be no worse than that of an american to and at the moment you think it's important for i'm in no doubt that it's out of bounds richard innocently caught up in something which was never intended to deal with people like gary mckinnon case is another that's left british m.p.'s crying out for change the asperger's sufferer has been fighting extradition for seven years he's wanted for hacking into pentagon files that he claims he was searching for evidence of u.f.o.'s a recent parliamentary debate on the treaty was so one sided in favor of changing it that a vote wasn't even needed but what's happening in there is still not enough to stop richard o'dwyer is pending extradition his case is certainly highlighted the need for something to be done but any changes could be too late for him his case is now in the hands of home secretary theresa may who has been accused of abandoning plans

to change the treaty richard and his family will get the chance to appeal the decision at a higher court but their options are rapidly running out either bennett artsy london. cvs there is no watches where you fly there to get his hands on the ledge copyright violators around the globe the founder of file swapping website mega upload was arrested in new zealand last week he could face extradition to the us as well rick ridge from the swedish pirate party told me he believes the anti-piracy bills being pushed through congress will violate basic human right. very concerned i mean any legislation must be founded in the public opinion of what's right and wrong when you have a copyright industry that's talking about extraditing a person who has done nothing but linking to t.v. shows extradition that something useful murder and genocide as this is such an abuse of power i think is time is more than ripe for

a serious review of what we want with copyright law and it's certainly not calling out here today just terrorists the corporate monopoly has come up with freedom of speech and given monopoly for the entertainment industry and the values that we achieved during the enlightenment freedom of expression freedom of speech that as a politician it's obvious that the latter has precedence if a business cannot sustain this model in the face of civil liberties and if it's the business model of the business that house and change not our civil liberties. taking you around the world in brief the international monetary fund's wall of the global economy is in great danger from spillover europe said to be headed for of mild recession this year which the i.m.f. says will cause a worldwide financial slowdown and even emerging markets will not be immune meantime trading has been volatile because of worries that the deal with greece's

you're the. chairman of the foreign affairs committee of russia's federation calls and also presidential envoy to africa it's great to have you with us thank you for having me

here so we'll start from the latest and leave me out of the country has been swept with violent protests and government crisis you as an expert what is your version what's going on has nato led to lacasse failed in the country been to tripoli it was on the twenty first of december last year. i had the chance to meet with all the main players with the most awful drill even with the prime minister with the foreign minister where the oil and gas minister and i spent the whole day in tripoli and i still have a feeling that i was in a very fragmented city three or four militias hating each other competing with each other sometimes shooting each other and it seems like the pieces all of. them all get together how long until we see life get back to the chance to take time and it has to take. goodwill from all the sides which were involved in a very long lasting conflict which to my personal opinion was

a real civil war and in some areas of libya this civil war is not over in the south there is the whole desert area as an area of well to the certain extent no man's land it's out of control of. new governmental forces its own of tribes it's a zone all of controlled arms trafficking so i think that the difficult time fully b.-a will last for quite a significant period of time if need be and political elite is not ready to sit at the round table that's actually which russia was proposing last summer which african union was proposing last summer which president of south africa jacob zuma will be proposing on the twenty ninth and thirtieth of january in a disability that's the african union summit african union summit to my mind may play a very positive role in putting that roundtable in the center of tripoli or any other libyan city in order to inspire the process of national reconciliation that's all

political talk shows if you look at the last of an ordinary libyan guy was he better off before or now before the ordinary libyan guy it's very difficult to say because there are ordinary libyan guys and big guys the ordinary libyan guys in tripoli and ordinary libyan guys and desert living with that tribes and these are very different ways of living some people when you talk to them and dream about a so-called dubai scenario they want to see libya as a mediterranean resort with a five star hotels because you know isn't all that stuff but some people love thinking about the purity and islamic identity there are so many competing different points of view you can probably see today that you can find in libya even within one family total unanimity of views what are the chances that he. say follow islam will actually get a fair trial a lot will depend on that that would show the new face of libya actually i think

that you will be in the government and the new libyan judicial system should show that it really share is the values of human rights rule of law and democracy in the new libya and that was my message when i was talking to. julian in tripoli on the twenty first of december i also asked him about the initiative of i.c.c. in the hague to bring the case of a system nation of warmer khadafi to international criminal court actually his response was a very reserved and after that they said that it's very important to show to the international community that. does not have anything in common with the previous regime let's talk about syria now that's been top news for a while now what makes syria different from other countries that have been subject to the. arab spring and at this point how big is a sites support base because we don't hear much about that syria is different

because syria is a cornerstone for political settlement in the middle east and the geo strategic role of syria is sorry to say that and but don't want to insult anybody but it's more important the more crucial than geostrategic role for the international stability of many other countries that were covered by so-called arab spring that's why dealing with syria in case we have to play political chess but not the american football can i ask you about the arab league i mean isn't it are they in a position to actually make demands such as i said ship step down isn't their role really to mediate rather than i demand anything like that but i think that their role is to mediate that's what the secretary general is saying and that's what he's proposing now to mediate to build bridges what is important to mention here is that we are pretty. in syria but syrian regime we are protecting syria as the country we are protecting syria as a nation we want to help syrian people and syria as

a country so you bring up a very important point because at this point if you look at it from the outside it does look like a full fledged war that's been going on for a while do you think a regime change in syria in order to protect the syrian people it's reasonable i seriously think that today the syrian political elite has to understand that the civil war will not lead to any political solution it will produce more blood from both sides it will produce more hatred and it will make national reconciliation more and more difficult i think that i was here in france from all the camps involved in this fight should look at iraq a scenario should look at the libyan example should look at other sales examples spenders along with world of a set examples and therefore we are serious to think of that the civil war can all be a political solution thank you very much thank you so much indeed. discovery
