if. what i've been trying. to teach began a journey. where did it take. the main points of the attacks in tripoli which are sporadic is true break down the moral here and cause any. as libya's rebels claim have it come far in explosions in tripoli signal gadhafi is ford is approaching some reports from there suggest it's just part of nato his plan to play havoc in the city. and other stories that shaped the past week a surge of violence in the middle east affairs a deadly exchange of fire between israel and gaza might lead to the jewish state launching a new ground offensive. and britain fights back against recent riots with harsh sentences handed to even those who just thought about taking part with many saying the government's disproportionate response will simply fuel public discontent.

but a look back at the past week's top stories and the latest developments this is r.t. live in moscow and reports of tracer bullets and explosions over the libyan capital of cause many to believe it's the beginning of the end for colonel gadhafi stronghold rebel commanders rush to declare zero has begun and their forces inside tripoli have started to find a lot rising but some eyewitnesses claim the bangs being heard to celebrate the fireworks after government forces repelled the offensive and then the journalists and he found and was told r.t. that it could all be nato his way of creating i think. it can fly and find out what's happening and it's. a great story and i. as

a result of the. emergence of rebels in the city. gangs then again government are calling them. that have had now being cleared out of the city and they've now been captured i know vested in the sent me out with. gunfire that we're hearing instead of raids become finding any explosions that we're hearing nato airstrikes or nato start sound columns which are clearly designed to create a sense of panic in the capital city of tripoli now what we're hearing that happens today is that the. rebels in libya. channels they created sun sake. themselves inside claiming that they were inside and leave history and of course the media then the mainstream media and the western media in particular and these reports which creates a sense of panic among the libyan people so they went inside. in fear and then

a number of armed gangs and much of a sense of the sleeper cells inside. and began firing randomly and setting things on fire and threatening old unary people that if they did not join them that they would be assassinated they then took the streets which were empty as i said because people were scared inside their homes which creates this sense that they were. in the process of capturing the city then what happened is that of course many people in tripoli had been on by the government and so these people came out to defend their capital and then the government came out and insisted that. it had been signs of control and so as a result now in green square. compounds masses have come out and because they feel safe again and as i said let's not celebrate to be gunfire. political analyst money doesn't grow who's in tripoli says some sporadic attacks

may actually be happening but in his opinion they are part of the psychological warfare. the main point of the attacks in tripoli which are sporadic is to break down the moral here and cause panic in fact the media here at the rixos hotel where i stay at actually it's called the swiss and now has been part of this this information campaign they're talking about airlifts the mainstream media would happen to be involved i can tell you right now reuters put out a release that was widely quoted one point national was killed here days ago when nato was intensely bombing civilian infrastructure and it didn't mention the civilian infrastructure i want to well be quoted at this point national was a security card this was misinformation this was not correct it was changed later they have fueling and feeding this psychological war against this country. well later in the program we'll be looking at another country where the arab spring is dragging its bloody heels almost into the autumn syria the west has been melting

first will present itself in its crackdown against protesters and artie's correspondent there found many are happy to see the government stop the demonstrators also this hour r.t. . the crowds on the ground this is an exciting spectacle but that's not quite the emotion that's going through my mind at the moment because i'm about to see what happens from inside the cockpit all the thrills of some spectacular airborne stunts on the final day of the mets international leisure. so that all still to come the first part of this flare up again in the middle east with his running goals are exchanging fire since thursday and says it's called off its cease fire with the jewish state due to the continuing occupation of palestinian lands more than ten people have been killed after three days of attacks on each side israeli government is reported to be considering a possible ground offensive inside gaza and says israel has been gripped by massive social protests for months now. many protesters believe the escalation of violence

with gaza could be used to silence public discontent. thousands of people are marching here in tel aviv holding candles in memory of the victims of. the demonstrations are happening not only here in tel aviv but also in the muslim and a number of other major cities around israel in stark contrast to the protests we've been happening apartment here is very fun but people are very serious in terms of what the latest wave of violence is because now talking to voters they say that they're not surprised by this before spate of violence many telling me that they've been thinking it was some time they believe that the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu and his government will use the latest gaza as an excuse to bring people to get around here people are young many of them are in the wazoo. white people have very strong in that they are still going. to

say we are. living they're talking about it's a case and they're talking about how they talking about. people here not only do they want the monster great but they also want israeli prime minister. yatsenyuk. and of course we value your opinion on events in the middle east go to our web site where you can cost your vote on the reasons behind this latest escalation in violence and hear the screen so far we can see the forty two percent of the believe the point is is that israel could use this is a way to sabotage next month's u.n. vote on palestinian statehood also we can see that twenty seven percent so far say that tel aviv sees it as an opportunity to provoke a response from the palestinians and it made a divided think that israel is trying to divert attention from its domestic problems although the attacks and acts appalled the friends of israel simply wants

to protect its own people always good to hear your point of view log on to our teeth felt called. a four years in jail for a riot status on facebook british courts are coming down hard on the relatives who spread mayhem last week he rights groups are accusing judges of overreaction something ignored by prime minister david cameron who's determined to mend the country's broken society by the planet's reports now from the. four years behind bars for the riot that didn't even happen jordan black sure and perry sutcliffe kenan were banged up for inciting disorder on facebook no one turned up after their invitation to riot which they later said was a drunken joke but now they face sentences even tougher than most looters and our worry is that it is an imbalance a four year sentence for example would normally be given to somebody for a previous bodily harm for holding someone up with

a knife or even for. some form of sexual assault so it seems to me that. there is a danger that the courts are moving into disproportionate territory and that actually devalues our response to more serious crimes to governments encourage courts the dish out harsh sentences by using the public disturbance as an aggravating factor it's meant this man anderson fernandez could even be sent to jail for thing of just two scoops of ice cream because like this one denying bail to most offenders and ignoring any claims of previous good character of the one thousand two hundred seventy seven people charge so far two thirds have been reminded in custody that's way up on last year's rate for serious crimes chris just ten percent some offenders even being made homeless is their punishment with local governments taking away their houses but many say it's will simply cause more harm than good i think this is very unwise the move to remove people from housing

interim of benefits because actually if we are saying that some of the crime that we saw on the streets was an expression of people not feeling porter society not feeling port cities and these measures are actually going to push people further away from society further away from our communities and far more likely to commit crime the facebook case is the first sign of the government's desire to crack down on social media sites like twitter were applauded by the west for mobilizing the masses in the arab world but they were also instrumental in the u.k. riots so now the prime minister wants it to stop. we are working with the police the intelligence services and industry to look at whether it would be right to stop people communicating via these websites and services when we know they are plotting violence disorder and criminality when social media fueled revolutions in egypt and tunisia britain called it democracy but now the shoe's on the other foot when troubles closer to home i'm very conscious of the news you know the. poor

or. move over me would be the force that we. want. a prime minister says this is where britain fights back put it this fighting fire with fire could only fan the flames of civil disorder after bennett's artsy london. new ride video has been released showing masked men reportedly shooting at an armed policeman you can log on to the website people point to watch that video police said the incident took place during the night flights in the city of birmingham with more than ten shots. this week saw another attempt in europe to try to stop the deepening debt crisis as

the leaders of the e.u. strongest economies met in paris and in america to nicolas sarkozy called full of the creation of a central economic body which would ensure eurozone members take water financial responsibility plans to harmonize corporate taxes political analyst and author if william engdahl believes that the proposed measures just create an illusion of stability and. i think the collective economic government that american sarkozy are talking about is really a desperate political ploy to try to create the illusion of stability where the underline stability doesn't yet exist there is no political will not in germany nor in the rest of the eurozone countries for as surrendering national sovereignty to a collective entity that has any decision power so that it's simply a shimmer that's been thrown out there to try to calm the markets the alternative really is is to get a stable export market relations and i think above all with russia that the central

asian republics china and the rest of asia in the middle east and if that is is created then you can have a growth vector that leads you out of this debt impasse that the eurozone countries are in without that and so long as as the. dollar system dominates international financial relations that moody's standard and poor's do the rating on sovereign debt for european union countries and that there is no independent european credit rating agency and there isn't is no. growth perspective only austerity and there is no out of this crisis the meeting of the new leaders was more about image building than decision making and that's the view of international consultants and full belgian and paid a lot of honest. and went to london biggest economies of the european market a union get together that is of course always meaningful if only not psychological level leads me to understand to draw the line should be

a euro zone countries at last in general so will evidence say there is basically taken up by the other countries they're not going after the ones that cost price and they're not going after the ones that have the money that they lost in this crisis i mean why not talk about a reason taxes under legal why not to talk about it being socially mounts on these bailouts for advanced merkel and sarkozy are facing huge problems with their popularity in the in the polls so i think it's also new with the image of building etc not so much return finding a real solution. and meeting in paris failed to calm traders nerves and together with fears about the possibility of another u.s. recession and force the global markets to form on friday and china which is the largest owner of american debt is also feeling the pinch investment advisor says

washington's troubles are too big for its asian partner to ignore. planners extremely skeptical they must be very roy if i was the biggest holder of u.s. treasuries i'd be worried too because the u.s. is in a terrible situation the budget deficit is out of control it's almost eight percent of g.d.p. the federal debt is now about ninety six percent of g.d.p. and politicians in washington don't have any will to get the house in order all they know is to prolong the problem to push the can down the road and as long as that is the case we are going to see severe pressure on the us dollar the economies in asia generally speaking are in a lot healthier state than they are in the us or in europe and when mr bernanke you prince money this is the of the us dollar devalues the dollar and makes commodity prices go up and that causes inflationary headaches in asia. and those whose very words send the global markets into a spin around the far themselves as this investigation where the s. and p.

is partly behind the two thousand and eight crisis report on growing doubts about the credibility of the ratings agency that's in the next hour. this week pressure has been melting again on the syrian leader bashar al assad the us and european leaders called for him to step down but russia refused to support the motion saying a search should be given time to implement promised reforms and scums in the wake of the crackdown on regime protesters bizarre to use more if emotional reports from the front line while the west sees the government's action as oppression some in syria see it as liberation. job is done the city liberated there is or in the east of the country has become the last syrian city the army left after clearing off extremists have been terrorizing its citizens for weeks the military claim is that its bandits blocked their rights put up barricades it became

a city we were hiding we were just like hostages. soldiers of the syrian army i live in the city over here the iraqi border minister officials are saying operation is now over that the city has been freed from armed groups as you can see people are welcome in the soldiers as the waiters and while tanks have been trying to make their way through jubilant crowds thousands of kilometers away in the white house a decision has already matured president bashar al assad is the one who's terrorizing the syrian people and that should and. the transition to democracy in syria has begun and it's time for assad to get out of the way not everybody has agreed there. has insisted that assad should be given time to implement promised changes his recent decisions to release political prisoners repeal emergency law and allow peaceful demonstrations have indicated the right direction but external

pressure could still bury fragile transition suicidal reforms would give forces to syria it will make the country stronger but syria's enemies don't want seriously strong america for instance they are sick and tired of a strong syria and they want to weaken its they don't want reforms they need instability and chaos across the country is all it's possible and they're pressure works for it i would up with contradictory reports about policemen and security officers killed across the country and the army is continue to crackdown protestors despite president assad's pledges to the u.n. to top military operations the syrian people no longer know who to trust and what to believe. for their country at the crossroad again they arm themselves with patience refinished r.t. syria. and journalist neil clark says the west is not really interested in peace in syria he things all it wants is to gain influence in the region. well u.s.

and its allies really want is regime change in syria and they're not really generally interested in ending the terrible situation and having dialogue between both sides and that's the reason it's happening today because we had to present a sad said he was going to introduce a multi-party system in syria he said operations against the opposition randi and what we can see the us saying well that's good that's a good move we get these calls for him to step down and the great run of the assad regime in those countries and is really is its foreign policy it's friendly with iran and russia and able again is trying to remove assad and he and other kind of breaking become syria would have more progress to align. this week the trial of the former egyptian president hosni mubarak continued in egypt the judge ruled that the hearings were no longer be broadcast live on television it was a second appearance in court for mubarak once again confined to a hospital bed alongside to the sun and both he and his interior minister face

charges of corruption and ordering the killing of protesters and first result rising although many see the trial as one of the results of the revolution others argue that mubarak may be gone but the dictatorship is still very much there son of god could reports. so young to vote yes old enough to die for his country this boy was just seventeen wanted to kill him on the tuckers where last winter they were true to our dorn's one of cairo central thoroughfares there's even a talk of naming a street in his name what makes someone and more it's here and in our there. in egypt right now it's the date of those gunned down prior to mubarak's resignation celebrated its patriots who lives with a rider future of their country those killed after his ousting sometimes are very curious criminals dr on their mind a country democratic thrives and it doesn't matter that they share the same goals

and they'd have these days this is about power and not be out their way around this young man also callous and south among the children revolution if this older brother he celebrated mubarak's departure from power or to fear taking the youth for the and to the police they three months later he was killed in what his brother believes was a government sanctioned shoot out i mean his little bubble and the sniper should my brother guarantee a bullet went through his forehead and it came down to me and i saw it and no one here has a weapon like this only soldiers do live families to victims whose that's now being pinned down more for these people receive no. wanted to hear it compensation for their laws in fact they're increasingly worried that the new military authorities may persecute them a struggle if they came in our own congress and term for those who don't appreciate the ruling military. and as

a godless be expected beyond reach into the to protect people who just don't mind answering in stupid started to kill people. who didn't expect all of that because of the supreme council of the armed forces as an interim kerry taker but mubarak stepped down but powered by the protest the generals nevertheless don't show much liking for mass gatherings the cradle of the egyptian revolution is now cordoned off by riot police those protesting the use of public disturbance he sent in military trials in the last seven months there have been more people put on military trials than the number of people that were poor movie it was under president of the north says the president of war solutrean president mubarak's ring individually of course there are thousands of cases that have been put to have been arrested and put on child and sentenced within the span of two to five days

sent one of those sentences starting from three years up to twenty five years as currently or had still hasn't healed these activists believes he got off lightly from season counter with the police a month ago a son of the former presidential contender was jailed by the mubarak's regime nor says the new authorities are just a brutal later version of the all it's extremely few that there is very little difference between the people who are ruling us know. and that many of the crimes the whole thing we're committed to his people are currently being committed. why the people who are ruling with the disguise of the revolution if these bloody as a reminder that the egyptian revolution is far from over the former president is now on trial for his role in the mass killings the body is still being held on the streets of cairo it's not

a boycott art it's. a spectacular show of death defying aerobatics performed by some of the world's finest aircraft that's what showed you all for the final day of the next international air show under way now near moscow it's been running all week and has witnessed thousands of thrilled spectacular spectators a multi billion dollar deals and a whole host of planes and artie's tom barton ventured onto one of them to see what it's like performing an airborne stunt. engine check. instruments check. runway check and then it's takeoff for the russian to display team. their nine first class pilots of performed over two hundred times in the past nineteen years but they all have to start somewhere. andre is training to join the team he thinks he's nearly good enough now but still remembers his first run as

a solo pilot going to the present without any warning they told me i was going to do the next flight on my own i had no time to be scared there was no longer an instructor going back it was unforgettable takeoff you're on your own controlling the plane then when you land you've done it. there's moves are always trying to hold them a new vista they practice most weekends thinking of new tricks and practicing old ones look at the form of the temple or whatever don't we come up with stone and then research them but it often turns are you people in on the for a russian came up with the loop and all the other stunts are based on the loop. however it always comes down to time in the air even with years of flying and training experience between them it never becomes easy. for the proper most smoke when you leave the cockpit or you can squeeze a gallon of sweat from your suit your knees are shaking because it's extremely different stressful and anyone with with america so with that gut wrenching fear

ringing in my ears i was told it was mine for the crowds on the ground this is an exciting spectacle but that's not quite the emotion that's going through my mind at the moment because i'm about to see what happens from inside the cockpit. we did the loop the loop all the planes just meters apart. a. but when it came to the fountain i nearly blacked out. white faced but not defeated i returned. ok. it hiccough

it hit it. but i could also see some of the strains that go for. the best luge grip and if you know you might speak for the crowds but serial acrobatics aren't issued to the pilots it's always a difficult job at terrorists. so next time you look up at them speeding planes spare a thought for the pilots and some make some bottom party. and more thrills to come as will be taking a night to be has shown throughout the day here nazi and you can also keep up to speed with next on a website and l.t. they'll come. closest. approach. xan future flights high marks child son

to the max air show. for nearly twenty eight minutes past the hour here in the russian capital i'll be back with a look at the headlines in a couple minutes from now stay with us life here in moscow.
