all. twenty years ago largest country. where did it take. russian the foreign

minister slaps nato members for their actions in the conflict torn arab world with his french counterpart. moscow criticized for sending weapons to the libyan rebels saying the vagueness of the u.n. resolution allows it to be twisted in this instance a. country is a piece of cake rich. and you have more than one hundred million dollars abroad is told we have been. targeted by nato and wanted at the hague colonel gadhafi son reveals his theory on why the libya is at war in an exclusive interview with r t. greece is urging the e.u. to hand over its promised bailout after parliament approves deep spending cuts and a state asset selloff all that's despite the days of violent protests.

just after eight pm here in the russian capital you're watching r t thanks for joining us now to our top story moscow is alarmed by the way the u.n. security council resolution on libya has been interpreted after france supplied weapons to the rebel forces russia also urged the international community not to enforce a regime change in syria but instead help the rival sides political dialogue our correspondent has more on the story. libya was the key issue discussed during a meeting between two foreign ministers that following france's deployment of arms to libya front admitted it air dropped guns in order to help civilians protect themselves and according to french foreign minister when it comes to protection of civilians school measures are justified they claim that u.n. security council's resolution allows them to do so russia believes it isn't it is

unacceptable that it violates arms embargo to libya and russian foreign minister has said even though two ministers two countries have similar views on libya's future that it has to be peaceful and democratic states that the u.n. security council's resolution can be easily misinterpreted the resolution nine hundred seventy three contains chapter full which allows anyone to do anything this very champ's it was the cause of our problems with the mandate in all other aspects we support it and as we have warned now we're facing rather unpleasant situations when it can be interpreted in most different ways i think moscow and paris and other u.n. security council members are interested for the body to release concise documents to the international law does not need to put up with ambiguity meanwhile representatives over the african union have already spoken out about this saying that they are afraid of proliferation they fear that those guns make ends up in the

hands of terrorists and that's going to be a threat to the insider region russia's envoy to nato had said at a press conference in moscow that he fears that the only grounds operation is just around the corner and that oppression is only going to prolong this conflict and worsen situation in the whole region in general meanwhile when it comes to syria the two foreign ministers are not whites on the scene between guarding that uprising moscow's stands for and against a u.n. security council resolution to which syria while france has been going on with the council to take action will still believe that only a political solution. all of this crisis is possible and for mr locke no doubt the opposition to me to sit down and hold the south government instead of the. next because to brussels with a lot of all stator national consultant and former deputy speaker of the belgian parliament joining us to share his perspective on the developing arab conflicts and

nato's role of them a thank you for being there with us now france and belgium is arming the rebels now say the move is aimed at helping libyans to protect themselves but again many argue it's a direct intervention and to what is essentially a civil war now do you think it's ok under the vague wording of the u.n. resolution. the problem with the real solution is they are not a legal text in the sense as a lot voted by parliament in a country basically the interpretation of resolutions is a matter of ideology and of power why does france interpret it this way because they can there is no international agency then you cannot that's the program we teachers aleutians should also not forget they also drafted the dissolution themselves so it just suits their interests to do so they can just interpret their because they can that's the only reason ok so a show of power at a target any which way they want does that mean a land operation could fall into to this interpretation oh yeah absolutely i am

pretty sure that this is already on the table as a plan whether it will happen i cannot tell of course i can also see the future let's also not forget that behind the scenes the nato member countries are not on the same opinion on the issue they cover a dog but basically one of the problem that nato has is they don't agree among themselves and that's the only hope we have for adventure voided but i'm afraid it will happen yes ok well critics of the a coalition say that regime change is the real reason that nato is in libya what if if gadhafi is outside killed or perhaps freeze the country do you expect that nato forces will leave right away after that happens of course not of course not that i mean look at what they did in other countries but they did in other situations of course not because let's not forget we're talking about countries like france and u.k. that have been saying already before the resolution regime change is the issue and

now all of the sudden there would say no it's not the it's part of the policy for some time they want to take over control of this country in this very important strategic situation between tunisia between egypt where things are going to wrong way to mean the wrong way for the european union and and the united states. let's not forget democratic it whooshing this trend is what does that mean it will mean governments that take care of the interests of their own people not of international corporations it's as simple as that ok well now it's been a four months of military intervention we've see the number of civilian deaths dramatically increase and there are some reports suggesting that gadhafi killed as many of his own people as the a coalition forces have so what are the nato has aspirations for libya well first of all we actually we do not know what happens it's probably a huge tragedy for the libyan people i mean to claim that you only by accident.

if you bomb cities you burn to kill civilians the plan of nato is clearly to take control of north africa whether they say that on paper or already this is the night of fishley that we had this right thank you very much for your thoughts a lot of and all state or national consultant and former deputy speaker of the belgian parliament thank you pleasure now with the war in libya at the focal point of international relations r.t.s. games access to colonel gadhafi in nato targeted tripoli saif al islam thinks his country's wanted for its riches but says the people will keep fighting to make sure libya doesn't fall under foreign control today i was swimming and fishing was very hard at what we went to the beach really saw we are in our country. fighting for our country living with our people. we live we live in our country that we would if we die we go to heaven and they destroyed our house in the middle of. a

small house strong surrounded by many houses people are living here in these small square next to them and bombed that house for two sides because my brother. he hung civilian he had nothing to do with the war with politics he was studying in germany because of the war he came back to libya he was there sleeping because. what nato said it. a command and control center more concerned with the two bedrooms a kitchen living room small house is it give you an example from my family let alone many other examples one week ago they had a house of a friend of my father in the whole family. the wife pregnant died two young girls of them died and they said again we are hitting a military site. a plane

a president. with. the controlling and commanding libyan troops come on. the one target. this country is a piece of cake rich full of gaz oil and we have more than one hundred billion dollars deposits abroad so we have to show that it needs to from. both mary want to finish the soonest possible cause the hungry. coyote he wanted the creek. slake for then leave is like fast food like mcdonald's cost because if you should be fast fast fast airplanes fast when it's possible to be. very patient because we are in our country so we're going to. die here so we're very patient if your goal. is to control libya. is going to leave

you this is the target. and the libyans will not allow them to do that. so the fight will continue. well you can watch for a full exclusive interview with colonel gadhafi son in just over two hours time but if you don't want to wait you can go to r.t. dot com to download it right now and coming up shortly. our tax dollars are being used to incentivize criminals to manufacture terror plots an f.b.i. sting operation that's three men are behind bars for a fabricated crime questioning government tactics in the war on terror. and dozens of militants have reportedly crossed into russia's north caucasus from across the border with georgia well this comes as russian officials warn of an ongoing terrorist search in the country artist peter all over the details.

we've been hearing reports quoting sources inside the russian security services that say between fifty and seventy armed militants have crossed from georgia into the russian republic of dagestan now it's believed that one of the group had been captured and interrogated by security personnel revealing that the group of militants had been trained and the punk easy. by arabs in the pine key area has become something of a hub for terrorist training since it the georgian army stopped patrolling that particular part of the border crossing now it's the ideal site for militants wanting to get into dagestan from georgia a very porous border due to the mountainous terrain that exists there very easy for

the a group of this type to slip unnoticed through the mountains and into dagestan the caucuses are essentially russia's frontline on their war on terror operations are ongoing there and the security forces have so far this year killed two hundred plus militants in the armed fossils in not area it's not just darkest on this goes across the whole of the area we're looking at think you should see a chechnya and dagestan at the end of may this year we saw a major hole for the security forces there they they captured a massive amount of arms and munitions as well as what they say were seven very large bombs around one hundred kilograms of t.n.t. each the main statistic though coming from the authorities is that terror attacks across russia are up thirty five percent and the first half of this year. those include of course the the devastating suicide bombing on the airport right here in moscow which killed almost forty people. now the greek prime minister has urged the

european union to release a further wave of bailout funds which a debt ridden country urgently needs to avoid default in july well to qualify for the e.u. cash athens has approved a package of radical tax increases and spending cuts which triggered three days of massive protests and as artists are reports to a sell off greek asked us to the highest bidder are also fanning the flames of public anger. greece is not for sale the message from the here is public as plans to sell off many greek assets pushes ahead quick through incredibly proud of their heritage many people feel that the privatization proposals would be simply stripping grace of the public. to change it for grabs for the lenders banks water companies in

china curators amongst many more at stake in the large telecommunications company a t it's also a sale with the. o.t. there's been a continuous crime for the past twenty years they've sold off our companies piece by piece and now we only own a small percentage but that small stake is extremely important to the greek people but they want to sell even that. it is a huge turn for the present government who were heavily opposed to the sale of eighty shares when they were acting as opposition. called it a national crime when the previous government sold shares now they want to do the same and sell the shares now at a low price we don't think we'll see investment or any development of it to you we think the only thing others will care about is profit profit profit. big continues cool's from the public to refuse the aggressive privatization proposals set forth

by the troika the seemingly gone and heard their presser from the european union is three men who we would talk about blackmail i guess the greek government critics have argued that they thanking a bailout acting out of self-interest keeping profits private was the last is to say she lies nothing new here it's not like greeks have to stretch back into deep history to figure this out we can look at latin american we can look at countries all over the world where the i.m.f. has come in and sacrificed and plundered the nation for corporate consolidation and prime minister happen journey speak of avoiding the country's collapse at all cost but many are now asking just how high a price he's willing to pay someone dies there's something very tragic occurs that's going to be a catalyst for i think a fall of this government the e.u. has stated fairly there's no plan b. the a stereotype measures being enacted buses theory bills on the streets might be tiny thirty one. athens. or we have more

stories from online just log on to our website that's r t dot com for access to fresh updates and much more and here's a taste by his correspondent reporting first have it from one of the. freedom flotilla. to the block to gaza. also online for you why the aircraft pilots with laser pens. will soon face time in jail for the life threatening prank. now three men that convicted of trying to blow up synagogues in new york have been asserted stew twenty five years behind bars the terms were handed down despite the federal judge involved in the case admitting the crime was quote provoked by the government and as our reports this new strategy has ordinary americans outraged. for nearly a decade the u.s. has waged a widespread global war on terror it's required multitasking military effort

overseas on the domestic front u.s. officials have decided to double down recently announcing counterterrorism plans that refocus resources on combat homegrown plots this is the first kind of tirzah strategy that focuses on the ability of al qaeda and its that work to inspire people in the united states to attack us from within yet in countless so called f.b.i. sting operations f.b.i. operatives provided the fake c four and actually showed them a fake stinger missile the inspiration to attack america has come from a government paid informant working to orchestrate the plan a tactic critics say exercised in a new york case dubbed newberg for. the suspects poor illiterate african american muslims were presented as the faces of homegrown terrorism and subsequently found guilty of conspiring and attempting terrorist attacks against the us no direction

by a foreign entity or a real terrorist group instead direction came from shahid hussein a pakistani immigrant on the f.b.i. payroll reportedly paid one hundred thousand dollars for his services according to court testimony hussein recruited the cash strapped former convicts by offering cars and cash to carry out the operation for individuals that sought to bomb jewish facilities here in the bronx and also take out a military aircraft. yet not one defendant had a passport or license but what the government had was an agent provocateurs or who testified in court as a key witness guilty verdicts for all or islands islamic elephant the same day a new counterterrorism strategy was touted the new work for were sentenced to twenty five years in prison by tearful and angered crowd of supporters gathered outside manhattan's federal courthouse who was

a government accountable turn on your own american citizens people was born right here on american soil this is a damned shame. miscavige adjustments and we will keep fighting back the government should not be allowed to trap for so make. sure you can see the full force. and then take the victims in since the twenty five. f.b.i. informants have reportedly been used in dozens of so-called foiled plots since nine eleven critics say hundreds of americans are languishing behind bars for fake terror attacks planted and grown by the u.s. government our tax dollars are being used to incentivize criminals to manufacture terror plots like that they catch other people up in i can't see how that in any way benefit. the country music can pick anybody out from new york city or course the united states then make a plot you have to be very careful very aware of who you speak to who you are or

around because you have many of their. agents you have many informants that are out there that they are using the u.s. federal judge said outrageous government behavioral was after size in the case of the newburgh who are expressing doubt the convicts could have or would have planned an attack without the f.b.i. informant however the specific charges against the man require a mandatory minimum sentence of twenty five years in prison prosecutors say the manufactured plot would have been up whole lot selected if carried out and quote the fact that it was fake doesn't matter. r.t. new york. the new u.s. counterterrorism strategy calls for a less troops in war zones and more focus on drone strikes of domestic threats lawrence wilkerson served as this chief of staff to former secretary of state colin powell well he thinks the shift in america's counterterrorism strategy may actually

hinder the war on terror. are we winning perhaps we are reducing it to a manageable level but we've sacrificed an enormous amount of our liberties we've sacrificed laws we've committed war crimes we've done all manner of things in this process plus we spent about three point seven trillion dollars we're in physical straits right now that indicate we might be might not even be able to afford one strategy so it concerns me that we are sort of forfeiting the ability to fight the big one for the ability to fight a lot of little ones drone strikes or an incredible development the law of war has not kept up with this and our own constitution and our own interpretation of that constitution and the war powers has not kept up with this look what you have now you have the president preposterously or the president's lawyers arguing that these are not hostilities in libya per the war powers act that's nonsense certainly there

are still these so this kind of thing drones and drone like apparatuses of warfare lead to these kinds of parsing the number of angels on the head of a pin and that's not very healthy in my view. and here's a look at some stories now from around the world to new york where scott has been released from house arrest state prosecutors have agreed to waive the bail in the sexual assault case against him the former i.m.f. chief of six million u.s. dollars as a surety which will now be returned to him the release comes after prosecutors raise doubts about the credibility of the housekeeper at the center of the case she claims to have been. made allegations he denies. chavez has undergone the lifesaving surgery to remove a tumor the fifty six year old the venezuelan premier has made his first t.v. appearance since treatment three weeks ago speaking of his condition he called his

recovery slow and careful that said he expects to make a full recovery government officials later confirmed that venezuela will continue with its socialist reform program despite this is. a crowd of thousands along with government officials have gathered. to mark the communist party's ninetieth birthday the best of it is devoted to the largest political party in the world it took several years to plan and speaking at a grab the ceremony president hu jintao wore the party members the corruption it could cost the support of the chinese people. while we value your opinion so please do log on to our website r.t. dot com and participate in our latest poll and today we're asking the question why did congress trying to succeed where soviet russia failed we have a tie for first place of a top of the heap with thirty percent each are the opinions that didn't wage costly wars or sponsor satellite regimes that russia was too hasty to embrace capitalism

and third is the view that china is a dictatorship that's what twenty six percent of you think it finally was just fourteen percent of the vote the least popular opinion is that china has a lot more hardworking people. i'll be back with the headlines but first the business news. that's right time for your business update a very warm welcome for him has introduced a new anti bribery law covering overseas operations of companies doing business in the u.k. it makes little difference through large international forum so already comply with title legislation in the united states but small companies from a working economies like russia are likely to be affected most former head of anticorruption at the u.k. serious fraud office explains how the law works. the law says that any company that carries on a business or even part of the business in the u.k.

can be subject to the new corporate offense the bribery it is only one part of a long list of obligations that companies have internationally so if a company's activities in russia put it in conflict with those obligations well that company will have to sit back and think whether or not it can do business in russia and that really isn't where russia wants to be you want to be able to say the russia is a great place to do business the key here is that in order to remove an impediment to inward investment russia would really need to tackle any domestic corruption first before it goes after the foreign public officials and if it can do that then i think companies will have much more confidence in investing in the country. let's have a look at some of the markets now your stocks are strongly high on friday after a national gauge of factoring in june exceeded expectations and european stocks were why on friday as well lloyds was topping it for its interest for the second
