9:01 am
as fresh trouble over greece once again threatens stability. with a look back at the past week's top stories and the latest developments this is artsy life in moscow cross border violence as sort of the middle east this week with israel launching airstrikes in gaza which for back with dozens of rocket attacks the arab league has condemned the israeli assault on call for the u.n. to take action it sets out exchanges have already claimed the lives of around thirty people from both sides of these policy is keeping across the veld and in tel aviv hello to you paula the violence appears to show little sign of abating. i think he is showing national climate with dating there are now a new round of
9:02 am
a strike and rocket attacks since last month saturday some nine rockets have been fired into southern israel one man was killed on one of his critically injured and a number of buildings had been severely damaged at the same time we're talking here some one hundred and seventy rockets that have rained down on present is will this line and this began on thursday now it is increasingly looking likely that these radio only might be considering a ground offensive into gaza and this comes amid a number of israelis part of the interior calling for such an operation to take place only today sunday israel resumed its a strike more than a dozen palestinians had been killed in the a strike the hamas leadership is calling on the international community to condemn israel and that's in intimate with a coach at the arab league meetings that was held here today in crime wrote that meeting issued a statement in which it states that israel needs to stop this aggression on both egypt and gaza and soil and at the same time he called on the united nations to
9:03 am
intervene now israel's also been gripped by massive protests over the mess stick problems for months now well the people that think about this is collating tension . now the social protest has now been ongoing more than a month and i'm not people insisting the cablegram may be rescued and on high on the agenda but of course there is growing concern that the netanyahu government might use this current violence as an excuse as a traction and we can actually if we think made me feel concerned with me i have adam can ask you this congressman from the movement and in the most recent protest last night suddenly seem to see demonstrators with a new slogan now in light of the latest conflict. together with the old slogan that people want social justice they will also chanting the people want the ceasefire if this representation most israelis would most israelis support
9:04 am
a ceasefire i think there are some israelis who. are very angry with palestinians and go and let's go in unfinished in one way or for once and for all and that is going nuts will. people watch. but i think quite a few people would like to see a cease fire and i'm sure that the moment when a cease fire goes into effect everybody will be very little if the problem what was said. to you mr mainstream columnist to the interviewer or not that there is a kind of macho question who will have the last word who will shoot the first shot the last shot which is completely unimportant either politically or militarily but it is a portion of the speech and that causes people to die before things for. every one time the issue here the last month has been issues and social security and social issues all of
9:05 am
a sudden and again it seems to have changed to terrorism and security do you think that the netanyahu government is using this as an opportunity to detract from issues that when there is so certainly no question that netanyahu is using it. in certain leader people may disappear can they give give it to him when the social. or political. but i don't think that this social put this is going to disappear because there is a very very much feeling of bitterness. in this not only of the most people in israeli society what the people who have been leading this but this is what you call the middle class a young people professionals who are fighting to get a job always to get a job. in the middle east a voice which they get it before they think many people say that having children is just before they build
9:06 am
a business in this very. meeting before this and it's always been living very much more slowly because of the free market for people used to call me in for many children to do very little so if you know it is very much. i think this will not go away what it will have been. for the palestinians and of course you know the sentiment that's being spent here and has money that the country can respond to attacks from their. garden is something that's been on the cards for some time. all right thank you very much paul that i was our correspondent all this the reporting from tel aviv many thanks also to israeli peace activist adam camera. libyan rebels say they're pushing on towards tripoli and claim they're now around thirty kilometers away from the capital they have also been reports of sporadic violence within tripoli itself and many people on the ground there say the
9:07 am
situation is much calmer than those reports suggest this is a feeling as an independent journalist in tripoli who says that false accounts of what's happening of serves only to stir up the conflict. we've been hearing from rebels and from nato that nato allies the stench need to rebels. a day a week or very close to tripoli we've been hearing this for the past five months so the people of tripoli have essentially got used to these claims and treat them very seriously we've been hearing that we have is under control that prager is in country trying to control but the reality is that what is happening in these areas is that they're coming under intense nato bombardment and leaving the libyan army and the volunteers essentially the tribes and people in libya to move out of the area temporarily while the airstrikes are taking place last night there was some incidents in parts of tripoli which seem to have been quite rapidly of dealt with by by the people here by libyan government so then people started to come out into
9:08 am
the streets to rally in support of their lead to essentially and then after that there were a few more incidents is appears as though there have been a few snipers from the rebels shooting from buildings which obviously this is a very own talking about a very small number but the issue of snipers shooting from buildings what it does is it creates panic and it's very difficult for the libyan police the libyan army and the volunteers here to deal with because of the threats of hurting civilians obviously failed in its military strategy and to create a military solution here so instead what we're seeing is a massive psychological operation going on to try and weaken the government in the libyan government in that way of course we know that at the beginning of the crisis and continuously the international media the western media al-jazeera in particular has been responsible for a number of really grave lies of course there was the lie that gadhafi was
9:09 am
attacking his own people which thanks to the satellites of russian it's intelligence prove that there were no such attacks. that took place we heard the lie that the libyan govern. that was hiring mercenaries from african countries that has led to the mass lynching of black people in areas like benghazi and his right and other places that was also proved to be alive by human rights organizations we've had the lie that there was an imminent massacre about to take place in benghazi and also that there was already thousands that have been killed by ability and government in benghazi we have yet to see the mass graves we have yet to see the footage we have yet to see the evidence of this most recently that was of course the claims in the international media that somehow those civilians that the massacre that took place in hand wasn't quite on the scale that the libyan people and government was paying and i went to myself i went to the burial i saw. evidence of. massacre of children and other civilians so it's quite
9:10 am
understandable that few journalists here may be receiving receiving the pleas of the libyan government to just do their job essentially and report what is happening on the ground here because thus far they have been they have proven incapable of doing so they are largely responsible for the crisis in this country. a little later we'll bring you more about the troubles in the region as our team needs one participant of egypt's revolution he says the fight with democratic reforms seems simply to have given birth to another military regime and you can walk through troops on the previews for. britain now where two young men have been handed jail sentences for their facebook posts which called on others to write none of the messages actually lead to any trouble and then said they meant as a joke the jail terms of sparked a wave of public condemnation accusing judges of overreacting things i bet it was
9:11 am
a story. 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. there is a danger that the courts are moving into distribution territory and that actually devalues our response to more serious crimes the government's encouraged cause 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 theft of just
9:12 am
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 are being reminded 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 as 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 interim move benefits because actually if we are seeing that some of the crime that we saw on the streets was an expression of people not feeling puerto society not feeling proud unities 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 face book 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
9:13 am
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 britain called it democracy but now the shoe's on the other foot when troubles closer to home very point there i mean you know the. poor. first thing we thought. was. the prime minister says this is where britain fights back put it this fighting fire with fire could only fan the flames of civil disorder i've been it's artsy under.
9:14 am
the collective economic government that's the latest measure proposed by top e.u. leaders in their bid to hold the market turmoil and reverse the stagnation across the continent but the latest ideas have found little support among investors who say it's come as too little and too late angela merkel and nicolas sarkozy rejected the idea of euro bonds favored by the markets and seen by many as the best way i don't merge in from their crisis political analyst and author william engdahl believes there's little real substance to the latest measurements but i think the collective economic government the american sarkozy are talking about is really a desperate political ploy to try to create the illusion of stability where the underlying 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
9:15 am
a shimmer that's been thrown out there to try to calm the markets the alternative really is is to get steve will export market relations and 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 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 not only austerity but there is no out of this crisis. and yet another blow to the euro zone blocks second one hundred sixty billion euro bailout for greece may be under threat athens as agreed to provide pinon with collateral in return for its contribution to the
9:16 am
financial rescue package but it's sparked in the nation among the other fifteen donors some of which are now also demanding collateral analysts however warn their greece is incapable of handing out such guarantees the e.u. commission says it will now investigate whether finland's actions were appropriate . you know with artsy still ahead the knights of the sky. 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 frills and some spectacular stunts from the pinal day of a max international air show near moscow. the world of football is abuzz with news of a new dream team possibly gathering on russian soil that's as. russia's republic of dagestan are expected to sign the superstar striker samuel eto from the italian
9:17 am
side and that is what he has more on the deal there could well prove a story for russia and for paul well medina it looks like this transfer is actually happening as we are seeing so many reports that samuel eto is moving to n.z. it's really capturing the imagination of the football world isn't it. that's right it does the transfer of the interim millon has a taken some time but according to the latest reports. has said goodbye to his italian teammates and is to become an. odd player somebody had so sent to undergo an magical examination within the next two days and on monday he is due to sign a contract with the dagestani football club in the answer i will receive over a twenty and half million euros pay yeah and also he will receive

9:19 am
see via the salon mainly to say and it's really sims like not rushing only bars are spending money on the development of the western football clubs like it was done by oman abramovich earlier when he bought a child c. but many say the signing. will bring the dystonia football club into a new level in the international world of football all right heartsease medina caution of reporting down the widely discussed transfer. to you will just have to wait and see now for an official signing the contract. this week the world witnessed the second appearance of former egyptian president hosni mubarak in court vatican his interior minister are accused of corruption and ordering the killings of protesters during february's uprising monday session was accompanied by clashes outside the court building in three pro and anti mubarak protesters threw rocks at
9:20 am
each other on a boy because now people who fought on the square for democratic reform and who now feel trapped saying the interim military rulers are no better than the old regime. to young to vote yes old enough to die for his country this boy was just seventeen when egyptian police killed him on the tucker square last winter to take his four trees are born one of cairo central thoroughfares there's even talk of naming a street in his name what makes someone and more fear and another. in egypt right now if the data those gunned down prior to mubarak's resignation celebrated its patriots who lives with a brighter future of their country those killed after he's out things sometimes are pretty serious criminals who stocked up on don't mind a country democratic strides it doesn't matter that they shared the same goals and each of these days justice is about power and not be out that way around this young
9:21 am
man also account of himself among children of the revolution if his older brother he celebrated mubarak's departure from power or to take the news for the and to the police three months later he was killed and what his brother believes was a government sanctioned shoot out the miserable and only snipers shoot my brother. went through his forehead and he came out and. i saw no one here has a weapon like this. like families of victims whose that's are now being pinned on mubarak these people receive no monetary compensation for their laws in fact they're increasingly worried that the new military authorities may persecute them a struggle. it came an hour on campus a term for those who don't appreciate the ruling military. and i guess for us our bodies we expected the army to intervene to protect people who just don't mind but
9:22 am
instead they started to kill people. who didn't extend their school because of this the supreme council of the armed forces as an interim clearance taker when mubarak stepped down brought to power by the protests 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 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 on movie shows and the president of the north says the president of war solutrean and president mubarak's regime individually of course there are thousands of cases that have been put. been arrested and put on trial and sentenced within the span of two to five days sent one of those sentences starting from three years up to twenty five years it's
9:23 am
current or had still hasn't healed these activists believes he got off lightly from season counter with the police a month ago the son of the former presidential contender was jailed by the mubarak's regime nourse as the new authorities are just brutal and version of the all and it's extremely if you live there is very little difference between the people who are ruling us know and the symbol and that many of the crimes the whole thing we're committed to speak are currently being committed. to us now by the people who are ruling with the disguise of the revolution but if these bloody teeth are it as a reminder that the egyptian revolution is far from over the former president is now on trial for his role in going after links but the body is still being built on the streets of cairo it's not a work of art it's a. trial itself might look like a step forward real change in egypt is
9:24 am
a long way off that's according to asia times correspondent pascal got the fact that mubarak is in a cage and he's been on trial this could be the beginning of the new middle east but we don't know what's going to happen directions because if dearie jeem triumphs in your actions and if we have somebody like the airports in this number former secretary of the arab league or even mohammed el baradei who is photos with the muslim brotherhood or even another candidate which is a region candidate refinance and we do p.r. why some firm in washington d.c. for instance not seem sensible change and this is what the real square protesters do will be. full lives are focus on destroying all sides. the international max airshow is finally come back down to earth and close the stores after entertaining crowds in moscow all week tens of thousands of real spectators have enjoyed six days of death defying aerobatics by the best islands high in the
9:25 am
skies the world's top because there is a way to show off their latest designs however the highlight was the maiden public light of russia's brand new generation fighter jet the t. fifteen these two on guard and took a ride of his own to feel the full force of aerobatic a bridge. engine. instruments. runway check and then it's takeoff for the russian robotic display team. their nine first class pilots of performed over two hundred times in the past nineteen years but they all had 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 before the peers left without any warning they told me i was going to
9:26 am
do the next flight on my own i had no time to be scared there was no longer an instructor who wanted back it was unforgettable takeoff you're on your own controlling the plane then when you land you've done it. the as moves are always trying to hold them a new vista they practice most weekends thinking of new tricks and practicing old ones however even with years of flying and training experience between them it never becomes easy. for them for the most slow work when you leave the cockpit you can squeeze a gallon of sweat from your suit what if your knees are shaking because it's extremely different and stressful and anyone with fuel. so with that gut wrenching fare ringing in my 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.
9:27 am
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 pick. a. king. but i could also see some of the strains that go figure. no there is no but just you know he might speak for the crowds for syria like robots or aren't social to pilots it's always a difficult job it tastes good but so next time you look up at the speeding planes
