discontent and. the collective economic government that american sarkozy are talking about is really a desperate political ploy to try to create the illusion of stability a fresh attempt to save the european economy fails to live up to expectations as this week's meeting between the french and german leaders wants a further drop and. with a look back at the past week's top stories and latest developments this is our team live from moscow reports of tracer bullets and explosions over the libyan capital have caused many to believe it's the beginning of the end for colonel gadhafi stronghold but dr franklin lamb the director of americans for middle east peace is currently in tripoli told us on the phone a short time ago the city is quiet now and any reports the rebels are making
7:02 am
a move on the capital awful. i just got back from a two hour trip wandering all over tripoli most of it there's no heavy fighting now there is bombing our. little. explosion but it's clear that the rebels are not nato help back seems to be true there were some. firing back some pockets rebellion. but now it's very quiet any time the rebels are here is nonsense if. nato is going to greenlight and if obama and other. leaders. like it will be of course block a little on this not enough imbroglios also in tripoli that some sporadic attacks may actually be happening but in his opinion they are possibly psychological. the
7:03 am
main point of the attack in tripoli which is sporadic is to break down the morrell here and cause panic in fact the media here at the wrecked hotel where i am actually called us with now has been part of the information campaign there talking about airlift the mainstream media would happen to be involved i can tell you right now reuters put out a release this week widely quoted one for national was killed here two days ago when nato with in case we bombed it doing a projector and it didn't mention the killing infrastructure i want to add well they quoted for national was a security guard with misinformation this was not correct and would change later they have been fueling and heating the psychological war in this country. and later in the program we'll be looking at another country where the arab spring has dragged its bloody heels almost into the autumn syria the west has been mounting pressure on president assad for its crackdown against protesters but artie's
7:04 am
correspondent there found many are happy to see the government stop the demonstrators also this hour. the crowds on the ground this is an exciting spectacle but that's not quite the emotions going through my mind at the moment because i'm about to see what happens inside the cockpit for all the frills of some spectacular airborne stance on the final day of the black's international. violence has flared up again in the middle east with israel and gaza exchanging fire since thursday says it's called offered cease fire would a jewish state jew to the continuing occupation of palestinian lands more than ten people have been killed after freedom of attacks on each side the israeli government is reported to be considering a possible ground offensive inside gaza with one hundred twenty members of hamas already sceptical and arrested in the west bank that says israel's been gripped by massive social protests for a month now and as artie's fall asleep i found out many protesters believe the
7:05 am
escalation of violence with gaza could be used to silence public discontent. thousands of people are knocking here in tel aviv holding candles in memory of the victims of violent demonstrations are happening not only here in tel aviv but also in jerusalem and a number of other major cities around israel in stark contrast to the protests we've been happening a month the mood here is very calm but people are very seriously affected in terms of the latest wave of violence of course not talking to protesters they say that they are not wise to the fate of vine and many telling me that they've been expecting it with some time they believe that israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu and his government will use the latest. conflict dawns and an excuse to bring people to be looking around here people like young many of them might remember. what happened they would be happy and nice people have
7:06 am
very strong in that they are still going to be demanding. that they really are protecting. the living they're talking about it a case and they're talking about health care they talking about. people here saying that not only do they want the great but they also want. to step down. because we value your opinion on the events in the middle east go to a web site r.t. or call nowhere asking what could the reasons be behind israel's possible offensive against gaza well so far the majority believe that would be an attempt to divert attention from the massive problems a third think israel would try to prevent the creation of a palestinian state twenty percent feel a new offensive would be a desire to punish us the minority believes that israel is just protecting its population let us know what you think cast your vote as county and.

four years in jail for riots saves us on facebook british courts are coming down hard on the writers who 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'm abene reports 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 and a four year sentence for example would normally be given to somebody for a grievous 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 not actually
7:08 am
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 of been remanded in custody that's way up on last year's rate for serious crimes this is just ten percent some offenders even being made homeless is their punishment with local governments taking away their houses but many say it's all simply cause more harm than good i think this is very unwise the move to remove people from housing intern move benefits because actually if we are saying that some of the crime that we saw in the streets was an expression of people not feeling poor to society not feeling
7:09 am
part of working unities and these measures are actually going to push it further away from society further away from more 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 cinci britain called it democracy but now the shoe's on the other foot and troubles closer to home i'm very conscious i mean you know the. poor were. only with you we. thought it. was.
7:10 am
their prime minister says this is where britain fights back but it speeds 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 an unarmed policeman log on to our to your com to watch and police said the incident took place during the august the ninth riots in the city of birmingham with more than ten shots like. 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 angela merkel and nicolas sarkozy called for the
7:11 am
creation of a central economic body which would ensure euro zone members take on more financial responsibility and also pledge to harmonize corporate taxes and political analyst and author as william and al believes the proposed measures just to create an illusion of stability for all and all i think the collective economic government the american sarkozy you. talking about is really a desperate 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 that it's simply a similar 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 with russia the central asian republics china and the rest of asia in the middle east and if that is is
7:12 am
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 i mean you need as was more about him is building than decision making and that's the view of international consultant and former belgian and pain nor divinyls. and went to london biggest economies of the european not only union get together that is of course always meaningful if only on the psychological level meeting stanch to draw the line should the eurozone countries at last in general so we never did decide there is. going the other
7:13 am
countries they're not going absolute want that cost price and they're not going after the ones that hash the money that they lost in this crisis i mean why not talk about the raising taxes under people why not to talking about putting social demands on these bailouts for banks and lupul and sarkozy are facing huge problems with their popularity in the in the balls so i think it's also do with the image of building a not so much finding a real solution those whose very words sent the global markets into a spin under fire themselves as the u.s. is investigating whether s. and p. is partly behind two thousand and eight by natural crisis we report on growing doubts about the credibility of ratings agencies that in the next hour. as week pressure has been mounting again on the syrian leader bashar al assad u.s. and european leaders of course for him to step down or russia refused to support
7:14 am
those motion saying that a sad should be given time to amend promised reforms this comes in the wake of a crackdown on answer your regime protesters but as r.t. as many of the national reports from the frontline of the west sees the government's action as oppression some in syria see it as liberation. job is done the city liberated there is all in lease of the country has become the last syrian city left after clearing off extremists struck have been terrorizing its citizens for weeks the military claimed. hundreds blocked their rights put up barricades it became a case of the hiding who was just like hostages. soldiers of the syrian army out living in the city of 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 the tall tanks have been trying to make their way
7:15 am
through jubilant crowds thousands of kilometers away in the white house 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 costco 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 your sister syria and will make the country stronger but syria's enemies don't want syria to be strong america for instance and yes sick and strong syria and they want to weaken its they don't want reform something they need instability and feels across the country as long as possible
7:16 am
and they're pressure words. with contradictory reports about policemen and security officers killed across the country and the army is continuing to crackdown on protesters despite president assad's pledges to the u.n. his top military operations the syrian people no know longer. trast and wrote to believe. with a country at the crossroads again he and themselves with patience. r.t. syria. journalist new york clark says the west is not really interested in peace and syria he thinks all it wants is to gain influence in the region what the u.s. and its allies really want is regime change in syria and they're not really generally interested in ending the terrible situation we are in dialogue between both sides and that's the reason it's happening today because we had present sad said that it was a multi-party system in syria he said gratian so get your position. and hear what
7:17 am

7:23 am
now a spectacular show of death defying aerobatics performed by some the world's most pinus aircraft and pilots that's what's scheduled for the final day of the maxim's national air show under way near moscow the weather however hasn't been performing very well it's raining there just now but as are these there certainly are reports it hasn't because of a good spectators. we're here at the last day of the max two thousand and eleven air show the rain is still pouring but so are the crowds you can see there are still here coming to see all the military aircraft. helicopters just running through. very very close to the people you see the lot of very interesting aircraft being large here we saw the t. fifty the first try to ration stealth fighter made by the russians now this is the first of its kind of patents we saw as part of what it can do and i was very
7:24 am
interesting one of the test pilots actually talked to warranty and he said that it's maneuverability is crazy stunts they're all just couldn't do and also he said it's so safe so much so that it's safe and what flies tails first i'm standing here be a u.s. air force display and right behind me this is the f. fifteen this is the same type of plane that the aerobatics uses in there a display show here at the max and thousand and eleven we've seen some of them and you were pretty amazing indeed and this is the closest you can personally get see need touching this plane that's a close as i can get my colleague tom. to get closer inside one of the military planes with a russian air about sixty and he had one let's have a look. engine. instruments. runway. and then it's take off for the russian display team.
7:25 am
then and first class pilots. two hundred times in the past. 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. 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 on your own controlling the plane and when you land you've done it. just moves always trying to hold never knew this they practiced most weekends thinking of new tricks and practicing all the form of the temple or whatever company come up with stone and then research them but it often turns are you people involved before. a russian came up with the loot and all the other stunts are based on the loop. however it always comes down to time we even with
7:26 am
years of flying and training experience between them it never becomes easy. or difficult was slow look at it when you leave the cockpit or you can squeeze a gallon of sweat from your suit or to your knees are shaking because it's extremely different than stressful and any woman will go through. so with that gut wrenching fare 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. but when it came to the fountain i nearly blacked out. white faced but not defeated i returned to. kick
7:27 am
him. ok ok ok ok ok ok ok. to for but i could also see some of the strains that go through. the there's no script but if you know if you might speak for the crowds but serial acrobatics aren't social to the pilots it's always a difficult all of the clue attests. so next time you can see the flames spirit will probably look to see if. somebody on. the. of course there will be more from the macs azure for the day here on on c.l. the bachelor theme of the summary for main means stories will sound to stay close.
