seven pm here in moscow with a look back at the past week's top stories the latest developments this is r.t. life in moscow the 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 but many people on the ground there say the situation is much calmer than those reports suggest lizzie feline is an independent journalist in tripoli who says that force accounts of what's happening have served only to stir up the conflict. we've been hearing from the rebels and from nato that nato allies essentially the 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 they treat them
11:02 am
very seriously we've been hearing that we have is under control that prego is in country under control but the reality is that what is happening in these areas is 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 the people here by libyan government people started to come out into the streets to rally in support of their lead to essentially and then after. a few more incidents it appears as though there have been a few snipers from the rebels shooting from buildings i'm talking about a very small number but the issue creates mass panic and it's very difficult to deal with because of the threats of hurting civilians obviously failed in its
11:03 am
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 the libyan government in a way 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 attacking his own people which thanks to the satellites of russian intelligence proved that there were no such attacks. we had the lie that the libyan government was hiring mercenaries from african countries that has led to the mass lynching of black people in areas like benghazi and misrata and other places that was also proved to be a lie by human rights organization. we've had the lie that there was an imminent massacre about to take place in benghazi and also there was over eighty thousand that have been killed by the libyan government in benghazi but 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 there was of course the claims in the international media that
11:04 am
somehow the. massacre that took place in and doesn't quite understand that the libyan people and government was claiming i went to the town myself i went to the burial i saw the evidence of massacre of children and other civilians so it's quite 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 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 meets one participant of egypt's revolution who says the fight for democratic reform seems simply to have given birth to another military regime. brutal than the previous one. cross border violence and the middle east this week with israel launching airstrikes in gaza which for dozens of rocket attacks the arab league has condemned
11:05 am
the israeli assault some call for the u.n. to take action the exchanges have already claimed the lives of thirty people from both sides earlier i spoke to artie's paulison who's keeping across to tell me. there are now a new round of a strike and rocket attacks can qualify to take some nine rockets have been fired into southern israel one man was killed and one woman was critically injured and a number of buildings have been severely damaged at the same time we're talking here from one hundred and seventy markets that have rained down on the present as well since the signs 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 israeli side of the interior and calling for such an operation to take place early today sunday israel resumed a strike the hamas leadership is calling on the international community to condemn israel and those in intimate was
11:06 am
a coach at the arab league meeting that was held here today in cairo that meeting issued a statement in which he says that israel needs to stop its aggression on both egypt and gaza and soil and at the same time he called on the united nations to intervene all israel's also been gripped by massive protests over domestic problems for months mel would have people that think about this is collating attention. well the social protest has now been ongoing for more than a month and by and large people are insisting and maybe with that in mind on the agenda of course there is going concern that the netanyahu government might use this current violence as an excuse as a detraction away from actually we think the real concerns with me are has had and cannot use a spokesperson from the movement and in the most recent protests last night saturday the demonstrators with a new slogan now in light of the latest conflict yes in together with the old
11:07 am
slogan people want social justice they were also chanting the people want the ceasefire it is representative of most israelis would most israeli supporters cease fire the moment when a cease fire goes into effect everybody will be very relieved the problem and what was the. mainstream call on this to do in view of the whole not that there is a kind of macho question who will of the last word who will shoot the first shot the last shot which is completely unimportant as a politically or militarily but it is a question of this decision that causes more people to die before says well get you . everyone time the issue here at the last month has been issues of social security and social issues all of a sudden an agenda 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 and
11:08 am
certainly the people who made this attack in the negative gave it to him on a social play with a silver platter. but i don't think that the social put us in going to disappear because there is a very very much feeling of bitterness in the hopelessness and it's and you always been living very much more so i think. a free market capitalist economy in for many years that falls on children to do the little so if you know we very much and i think this will not go away. and of course you know the sentiment that's being expressed here is one is. quick to respond to the text with something getting here . because it is something that's been on the cards some time it will keep in place and then. you're without seeing still ahead of the knights of the sky. for
11:09 am
the crowds on the grounds 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 inside the cockpit all the frills and some spectacular stunts from the final day of the max international show him. to britain now where two young men have been handed tough jail sentences were using facebook to encourage violent riots and jail terms were praised by prime minister david cameron but slammed by human rights groups as over the top of a better term as more and how the policy of zero tolerance has taken hold in the u.k. . 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 and 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
11:10 am
is that it is an imbalance and a four year sentence for example would normally be given to somebody for a previous order the 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 not actually devalues our response to more serious crimes the governments encourage the 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 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
11:11 am
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 hosing intern 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 to society not feeling part of our communities 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
11:12 am
she prison called it democracy but now the shoe's on the other foot when troubles closer to home i'm very calling to mean you know the really poor. movement. the force that we we saw the country. the prime minister says this is where britain fights back put it speeds he's fighting fire with fire it only fanned the flames of civil disorder i think bennett's artsy blunder. of more on this story a spoke to freelance investigative journalist who can turn down he believes the highest response will only lead to more violence across england in the long run and further criminalized vulnerable young people. i think it's quite clear that the government want to send a very. message out to young people out there who had any sympathy
11:13 am
even with the uprising or the right the way if you want to call it that took place but never again really can the british government legitimately criticize any other regime in the world for any human rights abuses when people are facing jail time for scoops of ice cream for the movie one child singing a dustbin for his mother this and these young people have been ignored and they've been exploited and oppressed and they just have no voice now through in a very traumatic experience through the right thing but they have a voice that is the response again of people is to further criminalize them so if you're going to further criminalize i'm going to get more angry and i'm very you know regretful to report but the message is going around the street gangs in london and other parts of england is a competition as to who's going to kill the first policeman so this is this is what we're facing in england now it's a civil in a situation. by collective economic government bath and latest measure proposed by top e.u. leaders in their bid to hold the market turmoil and reverse the stagnation across
11:14 am
the continent and the latest ideas of 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 same by many other investors way of an emerging from the likes of sistan according to international consultant and former belgian and he lord of our north american the entire affair was a p.r. boost for ailing politician yes that's them out and went to and elitist economies of the european monetary union get together that is of course dole is meaningful it only looks psychological level these meetings tend to draw the line of the euro zone countries at last in general so whatever it is said there is basically taken up by the other countries they're not going absolute want that cost price and they're not going after the ones that have the money that as we lost in this crisis i mean why not talk about a raising taxes on the people why not to talking about it being socially mts only
11:15 am
bailouts for the banks and sarkozy are facing huge problems with their particularity in the in the polls so i think it's also who would tell him it should building us or not so much really to finding a real solution. and yet another blow to the euro zone the block second one hundred sixty billion euro bailout for greece may be under threat athens as agreed to provide finland with collateral in return for its contribution to the financial rescue package but it sparked indignation among the other fifteen donors some of which are now also demanding collateral and this time i will warn that greece is incapable of handing out such guarantees and professor of applied economics patrick in food says that lack of direction in the e.u. is not helping battle this crisis there's obviously a lot of uncertainty about the eurozone and what will happen there goes the euro zone summit wasn't very conclusive or helpful in that respect so that's
11:16 am
a great deal of uncertainty which is worrying the markets about the situation of banks in europe i think that will be resolved but it may take some time to resolve it that's the problem meanwhile markets are very nervous in the euro zone will be it will take time to sort itself out either the euro will break up or they will produce a fiscal union with big trans to bail all these countries out nobody really quite knows which but that won't be a result any time soon i think what it is happening what is happening is that the western economies the richer economies are having a harder time of it because you know all the growth if you like in vail ability of raw materials is being taken by countries like china and india and brazil and so that's leaving very little scope for the richer countries to grow their groaning under these very high oil prices you know which depress their incomes and make them much more cautious. the world of football is abuzz with news of
11:17 am
a new dream team possibly gathering on russian soil that says a lot from russia's republic of dagestan are expected to sign the superstar striker samuel eto from the italian side internet things may be in the question as more on the deal that could well prove a story for russian football. the transfer of the interim millon striker has taken some time but according to the latest reports salman has some good points with his italian teammates and is sad to join. football club and become or in international will undergo medical examination within the next two days and will sign a contract with the dagestani football club on monday and the and. pay over sixty million euros for three years off the contract to the camera international and this move will make of this player the most highly paid for good player in the world in the space of a few months of the and i guess the new football club has made hard lines only
11:18 am
across the world by leading international football players and this happened after the dagestani football club was bought by the locally born a businessman and also one of the richest man in russia so the monkey mother who is spending millions of euros in a bid to make a russian or football club known across the world the team has already legendary brazilian about the carlos and holds has already signed a contract where this is the year the cinema many say it's like russian tycoon star not only spending money on the development of the western quibbles like it was done earlier but i'm on the ground mortgage when he bought chelsea but also the signing of out so will bring a good study football club on to a new level of development in the international world of football this week the world witnessed the second appearance of former egyptian president hosni mubarak in court robotic and his interior minister queues of corruption and ordering the
11:19 am
killings of protesters during february's uprising monday session was accompanied by clashes outside a court building between pro and anti mubarak protesters who threw rocks at each other parties or so on the boy because many people who fought on tidy of square for democratic reform. now i feel trapped saying the interim military rulers are no that's a bad regime. so young to vote yet old enough to die for his country this war was just seventeen wanted to kill him on the tucker square last winter to take his portrait adorn one of. their affairs there's even talk of naming a street in his name what makes someone a mortar and another all in egypt right now if the date of those gunned down prior to mubarak's resignation celebrated its patron. with a rider future of their country those hills i think is our thing sometimes or
11:20 am
protest criminals undermine their country's democratic strife it doesn't matter that they shared the same goals and they took these days justice is about power and know the other way around this young man also counted himself among the children of the revolution if his older brother he celebrated mubarak's departure from power or to take the need for the and to the police they three months later he was killed and what his brother believes was a government sanctioned shoot out and islam and the snipers shoot my brother david the bullet went through his forehead and he came out and. i saw no one here has a weapon like this only so it was like families of victims whose that's 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
11:21 am
them a starts just became an own compassing term for those who don't appreciate the ruling military only. we expected the army to intervene and return just two points for it instead they started to kill people. the political the supreme. council of the armed forces served as an interim clarity when mubarak stepped down brought to power by the crowds as the general's 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 events and military trials in the last seven months there have been more people put on military trials than the number of people that were permitted it was under president of the nurses the president of the solutrean president mubarak's regime individually of course there are thousands of cases that have been put. been

11:23 am
now on trial for his role in the mass killings but the body is still being built on the streets of cairo it's not a boycott artsy it's only the trial itself might look like a step forward real change in egypt is a long way off that's according to asia times correspondent pepe escobar. the fact that mubarak is in a cage in his being on trial this could be the beginning of the new middle east but we don't know what's going to happen deal actions because if hillary gene triumphs in the elections if we have somebody like your work at least on the loose former secretary of the arab league or even mohammed el baradei it was called those with the muslim brotherhood or even another candidate which is a region candidate refinance and we can write some fairly new washington d.c. for instance we are seeing a sense of change and this is what the real square protesters do keep with their full course laser focus on this trial at all times international max airshow is

finally come back down to earth and close the doors after entertaining crowds near moscow all week the world's top aircraft makers were there to show off their latest designs with a highlight being the maiden public flight russian's brand new fifth can ration fighter jet team and as artie's tests are silly reports a final day ended with a flourish. but we're here the last day of the max two thousand and eleven air show now i'm drenched as you can see and i'm also going to cover the last five days of a six day we've seen some pretty impressive launches we saw the t. fifty the first russian fifth generation stealth fighter launching its first public debut and to be so what it back into in the air this will go against you have to play doctor of the u.s. air force now that's on the military side on the civil aviation side saw the launch of the airbus twenty one but that is a big range play that will go against the likes of the airbus a three twenty it's still a prototype but will be interesting to see it was it is out there in field now also
11:25 am
we saw the big chance the a three eighty the boeing dreamliner and of course the savoy supercenter when you see those massive plays you just hope that the eleven hour flight will be a lot more comfortable for us passengers for me these are really big at subic for me actually are going to take out some small things and there's one that really caught my eye let's take a look. but as you can see i found myself but toy business long enough for me that this is how i like it i don't sitting in a cockpit and watching an aerobatic scene performing in the air it's like i have my very own simulator and i wouldn't dare move it not even to my colleagues on board is very very good i actually went inside military aircraft with aerobatics c. and he had one heck of a right to get out. engine check. instruments check. runway check and then it's takeoff for the bush in the air above to display
11:26 am
change. the nine first crossed pilots have performed over two hundred times in the past nineteen years but they have to start somewhere. 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 result without any warning they told me i was going to do the next flight on my own for i had no time to be scared there was no longer an instructor to my back it was unforgettable of takeoff you on your own controlling the plane and when you land you've done it. be as moves are always trying to hold them the new this 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 because they were the most slow because when you leave the cockpit and you can squeeze a gallon of sweat from your suit your knees are shaking because it's extremely
11:27 am
different and stressful and anyone with you up with america so with that gut wrenching fare ringing in my ears i was told it was my to put 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. but when it came to the fountain i nearly plucked out. white faced but not to see to it i returned to. pick up his.
11:28 am
kit. but i could also see some of the strains that go figure. no there's no trip and just you know the might be for the crowds but serial acrobatics aren't for shoots at the pilots it's always a difficult job it tastes good. so next time you look up the the speeding planes spare a thought for the pilots and some. from bottom to. a special report on domestic violence in the u.s. just ahead but before that a recap of the week's top stories in just a moment. in
