this week's meeting between the french and german leaders prompts a drop in the markets. on the back of the top stories and the latest developments. in the reports of tracer bullets and explosions over the libyan capital of calls many to believe it is the beginning of the end for colonel gadhafi stronghold rebel commanders rushed to declare zero has begun and their forces inside tripoli have started the final uprising but this is claimed the bangs being heard to celebrate. off the government forces repelled the offensive and in order. to get a few congratulated his supporters and. the reports of the rebel success could be creating panic. by and by what's happening and by way it's

celebrates three gunfire and as a result of. rebels in the. gangs that the libyan government are calling. that have now been cleared out of the city and they are now being captured and arrested and essentially. gunfire that we're hearing is sort of rates become finding any explosions that we're hearing. and they. may be designed to create a sense of panic in the capital city of tripoli now what we're hearing that happens . is that. rebel. channels they create. themselves inside claiming that they were inside and create and of course the. mainstream media and the western media in particular these reports. panic among the libyan people so they went inside. in fear

and then a number of armed gangs which are essentially sleeper cells of rebels inside inside the c.c. and began firing randomly and setting things on fire and threatening ordinary people that if they did not join them that they would be assassinated they then took up the streets which were empty as i said because people. which created the sense that they were. in the process of capturing the city then what happened is that of course many people in tripoli have been on by the government and these people came out to defend the capital and then the government spokesman came out and insisted that the situation had been. had been a control and so as a result now in green square. pounds the masses have come out and because they feel safe again and as i said they're letting up celebrates.

who's in tripoli some sporadic attacks may actually be happening but in his opinion that part of psychological. the main point of the attacks in tripoli which are sporadic is to break down the moral here and cause an attack in fact the media here at the right. now has been part of the information campaign they're talking about. the mainstream media would have to be involved i can tell you right now reuters put out a release that was while he quoted one for national. days ago. big and it didn't mention the city we need to structure i want to add. this for national security card information this was not correct it was changed they have been fueling and feeding this psychological war against this country. on the program we'll be looking at another country where the arabs. spring has dragged its

bloody heels almost into the syria the west has been mounting pressure on president a sad face crackdown against protesters but orgies correspondent there many happy to see the government stopped the demonstrate it's also still to come to. 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 and all the thrills of some spectacular borne stunts on the final day of the max international air show. violence has flared up again in the middle east with israel and gaza exchanging fire since thursday and the us says it's called off it 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 with one hundred twenty members of hamas already said to have been arrested in the west bank that says israel has been

gripped by massive social protest for months now. many protesters believe the escalation of violence with gaza could be used to silence public discontent. thousands of people i'm option here in tel aviv hoping handled in memory of the victims of violent demonstrations are happening not only here in tel aviv but also in jerusalem and a number of them have been major cities around israel in stark contrast to the protests it's been happening at the polish man the mood here is very somber people are very serious and affected in terms of what the latest wave of violence is cause now talking to protesters they say that they are not surprised by this recent spate of violence many telling me that they've been expecting at the same time they believe that the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu and his government will use the may present conflict with dogs as an excuse to bring people to speak to give up around here people are young many of them are immigrants and it was to happen. white people have very strong they all still going

to be demanding. justice. they're talking about education they're talking about health they talking about. people here saying that not only do they want to be great but they also want israeli prime minister. to step down. and of course we value your opinion on the events in the middle east you can go to our website where we're asking you how israel might benefit from this latest escalation in violence and looking on screen at the moment you see that fourteen percent of you believe that israel could use this as a way to sabotage next month's u.n. vote on palestinian statehood twenty six percent say that tel aviv sees it as an opportunity to provoke a response from the palestinians and many were divided and think that israel is trying to divert attention from its domestic problems all but the attacks are an

act of defense and that israel simply wants to protect its own people those are the responses so far good to hear from me if you have to work. four years in jail for a riot status on facebook british council coming down hard in the raw tissue spread mayhem last week human rights groups are accusing judges of overreacting something ignored by prime minister david cameron who's determined to mend the country's broken society i've been to has more for us now from london. 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 i 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 that there is a danger that the courts are moving into disproportionate territory and that actually devalues our response to more serious crimes the governments encourage courts to 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 theft 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 charged so far two thirds have been remanded in custody that's way up on last year's rate for serious crimes which is just ten percent some offenders even being made homeless is their punishment with local governments taking away their houses but many say this will simply cause more

harm than good i think this is a very unwise the move to remove people from housing interim move 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 part of society not feeling part of our communities then 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 to mobilize. 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 or services when we know they are plotting violence disorder and criminality when social media fueled revolutions in egypt and tunisia person called it democracy but now the shoe's on the other foot when

troubles closer to home i'm very conscious i've been used you know the. poor. movements and we would be the force to complete. the. countries we're trying to walk. the prime minister says this is way britain fights back but it speeds these fighting fire with fire could only fan the flames of civil disorder after bennett's . land. and by the way new rock video has been released showing last men reportedly shooting at an armed policeman you can log onto r.t. don't come to watch that video police said the incident took place during august the lights riots in the city of birmingham with more than ten shots fired.

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 you know merkel and nicolas sarkozy called for the creation of a central economic body which would ensure eurozone members take more choice accountability pledge to harmonize corporate taxes political analysts and also. believes the proposed measures just create an illusion of stability species i think the collective economic government that mark on sarkozy are talking about is really a. a political ploy to try to create the illusion of stability where the underlined 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 it's simply a shimmer of that's being thrown out there to try to calm the markets the alternative really is is to get a stable export market relations i think above all with the russia of the central

asian republics china and the rest of asia in the middle east and if that 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 on the austerity the there is no up to this crisis meeting of the need is more about image building than decision making that's the view of international consultants and foremen build and pay a lot of unused. and went to london biggest economies of the european monetary union get together that is of course always meaningful if only on the psychological level meeting stand to draw the line of should be the euro zone countries at last

in general so whatever decided there is basically taken by the other countries they're not going after the ones that cost the crisis they're not going after the ones that have the money that as we lost in this crisis i mean why not talk about the raising taxes on those people why not to talking about putting social demands on these bailouts for banks merkel and sarkozy are facing huge problems with. the clarity in the in the polls so i think it's also new with the image of building etc not so much richer finding a real solution and those whose very words send the global markets into a spin on the father who sells as the u.s. is investigating whether style of course is part of behind the two thousand and eight financial crisis report on growing doubts about the credibility of the ratings agencies that's in the next hour here on party.

this week pressure has been mounting again on the syrian leader bashar assad the u.s. and european leaders called for him to step down but russia refused to support a motion saying that assad should be given time to implement promised reforms this comes in the wake of the crackdown on regime protesters solti's more if initial 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 lease of the country has become the last syrian city to have to clear an extremist strip have been terrorizing his citizens for weeks the military claim that he's bandits blocked their rights put up barricades it became a case of hiding we were just like hostages. soldiers of the syrian army out living in the city of their near the iraqi border. 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 patois 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 that moscow 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 a fragile transitional. reforms will give forces to syria it will make the country stronger but syria's enemies don't want syria's we strong america for instance sick

and tired of a strong syria and they want to weaken as they don't want they need instability in the country is not only supportable and their pressure work stories with contradictory reports about policemen and security officers killed across the country and the army is continuing crackdown on protesters despite president assad's pledges to the u.n. to stop military operations the syrian people no know longer. who to trust and to believe. with a country at the crossroads again the. patience. syria . this week the trial of the former egyptian president hosni mubarak continued in egypt the judge ruled that the hearings will no longer be broadcast live on television and it was the second appearance in court for the government once again confined to a hospital bed to. his interior minister face charges of corruption in order to the

killing of protesters in february uprising many see the trial as one of the results of the revolution mubarak may be gone but the dictatorship is still very much there . so young to vote yet old enough to die for his country this boy was just seventeen when a different police killed him on the toughness where last winter today he adorns one of. their affairs there's even a talk of naming a street name what makes someone a more fair and. well in the age of right now if the date of those gone down prior to mubarak's resignation celebrated this who lives with the brighter future of that country those killed after his ousting sometimes referred to as criminals to undermine that country's democratic tribes and it doesn't matter that they share

the same goals and they just say this is about power and no and the other way around this young man also account of himself among the children of the revolution if this older brother he celebrated mubarak's departure from power or to taking it would the and to the police three months later he was killed in what his brother believes was a government sanctioned. and my brother dead and a bullet went through his will hit. and it came out on the other side and i saw no one here has a weapon like this only soldiers do like samways the victims whose deaths are now being pinned on the bark of these people receive no monetary compensation for their loss in fact they're increasingly worried that the new military authorities may persecute them a starts became an own compass and term for those who don't appreciate the ruling military clique and i guess we expected the army to intervene to protect people

just don't minds for it but instead they started to kill people. who didn't expect that it with the supreme council of the armed forces as an interim caretaker when mubarak stepped down brought to power 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 accused of public disturbance to military trials in the last seven months there have been more people put on military trials than the number of people that were put under president of the. president of war so that's really president mubarak's regime individually of course there are thousands of cases that have been put. have been arrested and put on child and sentenced within the span of two to five days sent horrible

sentences starting from three years up to twenty five years a scar on his forehead still hasn't healed but these activists believes he got off lightly from season counter in the middle east a month ago thems from a son of a former presidential contender who was jailed by the mubarak's regime nor says the new authorities are just a brutalized version of the all and it's extremely clear that there is very little difference between the people who are ruling us no hosting world and that many of the crimes hosting world are committed to his people are currently being committed to us now by the people who are ruling with the disguise of the revolution he gives these bloody t. shirt 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 but the body is still being spilled on the streets of cairo it's not a boycott artsy it's empty. well you go to website for the news you want to watch

when you want to watch it plus check anything you've missed on screen it's online as well here's a quick look at a couple of stories there for you at the moment close to collision astronomers are warning a cool it will hit the earth later this year but oscar research a winner it's worth preparing for doomsday. and a look back on how the course of the soviet union took a major turn twenty years ago alternative to overthrow the reforming government was staged on the streets of moscow. over.

the. street still keeps secrets but now it's time to reveal the shooting of the soviet files on. a spectacular show of death defying aerobatics performed by some of the world's finest aircraft and pilots well that's what's for the final day of the max international air show under way in moscow sadly the weather hasn't been performing very well though it's raining there just a moment but authorities test us in the reports it hasn't put off eager spectators . i still see a lot of people pouring in literally to the airfield trying to see the displays here of course everyone is looking forward to the aerobatic show the you know the rain is actually quite symbolic gives us a fits of weeping for the last day of two thousand and eleven but you know what i will be weeping if i don't see an aerobatic ships i've never seen one in my life

believe it or not so we are expecting to see the russia as well as the swiss performing in the skies again today for the public let me run you through some of the highlights of the past five days now we've seen the debut of the a t fifty that's the a fifth generation a stealth fighter russian made now this is really quick created quite a stir and one of the only other planes out there in service that is that is its closest rival is to the f. twenty two raptor which will also be u.s. air force want to be a test pilot who tried the t. fifty actually told r.t. that this plane has a very good maneuverability it can do crazy stunts of the jets definitely cannot do and he also said that it's a very safe aircraft so safe that it's safe even when it flies tail first out that would be interesting to see and of course we saw a super super super sad one hundred we saw it in the sky now when i look at these big shots all i could think of is i hope this is the beginning of the end of those

eleven hour flights if the weather does cooperate and we should be hearing engines roaring all throughout the day coupled with of course the heavy rain and the strong waves well you know i'll turn you over to my call he. had one heck of a ride with one of those military just let's take a look. engine. instruments. runway. and then it's takeoff with a russian robotic display team. the nine first class pilots have performed over two hundred times in the past nineteen use. someone. andre is training to join the team he thinks he's nearly good enough now but still remembers his first flight as a solo pilot because the players left without any warning they told me i was going to do the next flight so my ownership i had no time to be scared there was no longer any nostrum one night it was unforgettable but of i did you take off you on

your own way and trolling the plane then when you land you've done it. yes moves are always trying to pose nude as they practiced most weekends thinking of new tricks and practicing. the form of a stamp or do it govern don't let you come out of stone and then research them because it's all going to turn sorry peepin done before nested over a russian that came up with the loop and all the other stunts serve a salute. however it always comes down to timing. even with years of flying and training experience between them it never becomes easy prepare them for the most subtle could be when you leave the cockpit or you can squeeze a gallon of sweat from your suit to look at your knees are shaking because it's extremely different than the stretching and any will a little closer to home so with that gut wrenching fare ringing in the mine is 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 meet us apart. it. but when it came to the fountain i nearly plucked out. white faced but not to see said i was to. kick. the shit. ok. ok ok ok ok it thanks but i could also see some of the story goes oh no there's no but just for you know she might speak

for the crowd was eerie like her bouncers aren't social to the pilots it's always a difficult all that tests. so next time you can speed planes spirit to see. somebody. and they'll be more from the max as chauffeur of the day here on r t while the bout with a recap of this week's top stories in just a few minutes stay with us live event in moscow.
