latest from independent journalist lizzie feelin she's in tripoli she's been updating us on i. could do you on the line again tonight all reports the fighting is raging around the capital from where you are what can you tell us. and yeah i'm. currently i'm in a band i still area of tripoli but it does appear that these relatively small groups. or whatever you want to call them i'm not. sure. the opposition moved in from the capital. and it's really how long they can last. the libyan army which of course is the conventional army and the port here. in tripoli by the libyan government. so maybe we just wait to get our and. then they. are but.

they don't have any kind of popular support and they don't. i mean i know they don't have any. because it doesn't look very lizzie what is what is the position on the streets tonight a lot of colonel gadhafi forces out on the streets if the worst should happen. of course the army is very much ready to be a new thing anyway military capability there are. many volunteers ordinary people who are they can take them on to are defending their areas but. it's not the opposition treatment break in any part of the. street. people taking up i'm family that is one of those difficult to get rid of a lot of them taking a. at. this

you have a few problems with the phone line from tripoli tonight obviously there's some problems with everything that's going on around you there are on colonel gadhafi went on t.v. to say that he would protect tripoli he wouldn't leave tripoli also called on people that it's a car bombs and protect the capital what has the public response been is saying that a lot of the public in the city of very much behind it was in response to taking up arms. yes i said many of the people here have been defending the street ordinary people who have been on the giving of. checkpoints. and then of course there is. reveled in the private lives. at that. majority of. pretty nasty situation for the mission is a bit much. here

is the owner sort of stay with you as long as we can again we're having some problems with the phone line from you that. i'm taking you what you saying that there are no as you can see at least around you know huge pitched battles on the streets nonetheless we are that the rebels with clearing the way for them are on their way no matter how you look at it the tension is certainly rushing up tonight if they do get into the city the rebels war sort of battle could be. very. are hiring pretty. easy if you think i know in st. elysium awfully sorry we're going to have to leave the phone conversation with you because the quality is deteriorated too much if you can still hear me independent

journalist lizzie feeling from tripoli bring us up to date on what she is seeing around her there tonight in that city that all reports say could well be under siege will be getting to me anyway now i spoke to thought of franklin lamb recent americans for middle east peace and he's also in tripoli he told me the tension is rising with the situation becoming increasingly volatile. and. this hotel was just twenty six floors and you can see plumes of smoke at the marriott. seems to be on fire but. it's near my hotel i don't know but i was out in tripoli for ninety minutes that's watching and when i came back watching decided something cool a good hotel i was josh. i'm fine. but there was a suggestion that i probe on the matter but how about. the people.

here. first and others taking up i think potential position been going to in various areas where. we talked on what you want to negotiate i don't want to kill the libyan brothers and sisters to nigel's campaign using their symbol. as you know me through the bombing of insurgents but. not much. credit for it is the needles project they need to be. out of this country. some u.s. reaction now even ilands is from the institute in washington independent institute in washington he told me that he believes that much of the media's pandered to

western interests in the way that they've reported the civil. in the western media here particularly in the united states all the western countries the media has sort of been a cheerleader you know. on the on the retreat is almost over so maybe the reports are exaggerated but certainly the western media is hopeful because no one likes khadafi and certainly i'm not defending his human rights record but he was the leader of the country and it seemed like the western countries just took advantage of a rebellion to to get rid of him of course they haven't really done that on the side in syria they've been very slow because israel doesn't necessarily want to get rid of him. because they're scared of what could happen there but why isn't doesn't the same thing apply in libya what could happen there we don't know it's hard to say during war you get report one report on one thing and then it's contradicted by another but i think the rebels think they have the advantage at this point and

they're being helped by the nato. bombing and that sort of thing so i think they think they're almost ready to take tripoli. and some details on the foreign reaction to the events unfolding in libya now from our correspondent in brussels done you'll bush europe correspondent daniel so what does the international community have to say about the latest developments tonight unfolding. president nicolas sarkozy has political rivals in the dispositive moment because the libyan people i was going to call them he reiterated the backing of the global provisional council he will give that speech to immediately give up what he has left as the outcome of brutal victory is no longer in doubt because the idea is that he has immediately ordered his fork in the price and to give way to the legitimate as he called it nuclear north or keep now going that he has really to live transmission in the last twenty four hours and that the libyan people will never allow or go to

. a major exporter of energy because he will never allow the collaborator of the french to rule in the new clothes libyan the crushing the uprising in tripoli as brutal troops are closing in on the capital also worrying is that they will tripoli that the rebels were caught food water and electricity to the capitals are you given the all just based because they're very wary but that's only a million now security here in the european union to see a stroke if you will use the international criminal court employment they employed to get him to justify military intervention in the capital because that's what the problem is recently in the army corps and because the only leader that they claim that they will be are koreans who will stay in charge but in fact it's been generally the congress was pulling the strings militarily because they were also gournay a battle in the capital could be extremely bloody street the street warfare also usually supports the defender and there are all the fears here that the rebels are

all too small and too badly organized to actually handle this fighting ok daniel bushell our europe correspondent thanks for bringing us up to date from your end of it there in paris. crosspost of violence has sort of the middle east this week with israel launching airstrikes in gaza which fought back with dozens of rocket attacks latest reports over suggest that egypt's managed to broker a cease fire between the two sides which could come into effect live the next few hours earlier i spoke to our teams paula slayer our mid east correspondent she's in jerusalem keeping across the latest for you. reports we're receiving indicate there are no matter which will say that cairo has broken this truce which goes into effect this evening we understand their television was his attend and about making any kind of agreement with the guards operatives and let the militants the put down fire first we also understand it will be the responsibility of her mattock security

personnel should enforce the cease fire not only that is good news but the reality on the ground is that no one here really believes that is a tween the two sides and will who really survive the test of time this is the latest violence started on tuesday in a three pronged attack that left eighty's rabies did that it was funded almost immediately with a strike and those airstrikes have been continuous since. there have been more than a dozen palestinians killed if the more these eighty grad and cause some rockets that had rained down on southern israeli towns killing one israeli and injuring many more so certainly the these since on the ground is that both sides are incredibly angry both sides are incredibly distrustful of the other and one of the sentiments being expressed here in israeli circles today is that the israeli prime minister been a minute and yahoo has been preparing for a war with gaza for some time and every day what happened on tuesday was just perfect opportunity to carry out the assault that the scenes. ties in with the

current domestic problems. in israel this very weekend we saw the marches on the streets you have more people protesting over the way that it was handling a lot of the government's domestic policy right now there is some cynicism isn't there about the timing of these. assaults that across the weekend at the same time as they were demonstrating about the problems within israel but it appears some cynicism here in israeli circles when you talk to demonstrators they say that they're not surprised by the latest spate of violence many believe that netanyahu was hoping for something like this to happen because he is a prime minister there is very strong. and security issues are issues of like what is called terrorism here in israel rather than on increasing socio economic internal problems so for more than a month now you've had tens of thousands of protestors in all the major cities in israel and they marched again last night and was the for the slogan was a call for social justice they added a new slogan used today saying a call for

a cease fire now the protesters that he speaking to are adamant that they will not tolerate this latest spate of violence to extract the netanyahu government from addressing in their concert and they planned that by the first weekend in september they'll head a million man march they benito had a million israeli citizens to the streets and that's almost one sixth of the population here so he certainly is a lot of disgruntled israelis about domestic issues and if anything. this latest spate of violence they say has made him even more determined to make sure that netanyahu any government which is the concern. to britain were two young girls freezing facebook to encourage violent riots praised promise gave a cover and slammed why human rights groups is over the top of a burn it has warned her the policy of zero tolerance has taken hold of me. 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 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 government's encouraged because 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 charge so far two thirds have been reminded in custody that's way up on last year's rate for serious crimes it 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 hosing interim of benefits because actually if we are seeing that some of the crime that we saw on the streets was an expression of people not fully participating not feeling pretty working 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 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 inching easier britain called it democracy but now the shoe's on the other foot when troubles closer to home i'm very coins. we knew. who. we thought we thought we. were prime minister says this is where britain fights back put it this fighting fire with fire could only fan the flames of civil disorder are bennett artsy london . of what we spoke to influence a vestige of journalists who can chandan he told us he believes the harsh response will only lead to more violence across england in the long run and further

criminalize vulnerable young people. i think this is quite clear that the government was to send a very draconian message out to young people out there who had any sympathy even with the uprising or the right away if you want to call it that took place but never again really can the british government legitimacy criticize any other regime in the world for any human rights abuses when people are facing jail time for scoops of ice cream for mineral water one child stealing a dustbin for his mother listen these young people have been ignored and they've been exploited and oppressed and they just had no voice and now through in a very traumatic experience through the writing that they have a voice what is the response again of people is to further criminalize them so if you're going to further criminalize and we're going to get more angry and i'm very regretful to report that 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 war situation. a collective economic government that's the latest measure proposed by top e.u. leaders in the bed the whole market turmoil and reverse the stagnation across the continent but the latest idea is a firm little support of my investors who say it's comes to little too late angela merkel nicolas sarkozy rejected the idea of euro bonds favored by the markets and seen by many as the best way of merging from the debt crisis according to disaster consultant and former belgian m.p. loot of an os the entire affair with the pay are both publications. and went to london biggest economies are not only union get together it is off course always mean from if only on the psychological level need these meetings tend to draw the line or should be the eurozone countries at last in general so we're going to decide there is basically tripping i'm going the other countries and they're not going after look ones that caused the crisis they're not going after the ones that

has the money that he lost in this crisis i mean why not talk about a raising taxes under people why not to talking about social demands on these bailouts still against america 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 us are not so much finding a real solution. and yet another blow to the eurozone the block second one hundred sixty billion euro bailout for greece may be under threat athens has agreed to provide finland with collateral in return for its contribution to the financial rescue package but that sparked indignation among the other fifty donors some of which i also demanding collateral analysts though born the greece is incapable of handing out such guarantees and professor of applied economics when for that says that lack of direction in the euro is helping it battle its prices. there's

obviously a lot of uncertainty about the eurozone and what will happen because the euro zone summit wasn't very conclusive or helpful in that respect so that's a great deal of uncertainty which is worrying the markets about the situation of banks in europe and i think that will be a result but it may take some time to resolve it that's the problem meanwhile markets are very nervous and the eurozone will be will take time to sort itself out either the euro will break up or they will produce a fiscal union with big transfer to bail all these countries out nobody really in a quite knows which but that won't be a result any time soon but 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. syria's president assad has given a live t.v. interview saying the regime is not in danger of falling that the government is able to deal with the current unrest in the country syrian state media have condemned u.s. and european calls for president assad to step down saying the move is part of a conspiracy russia for its parts also. used to but the calls should be given more time to implement promised reforms this comes in the wake of a crackdown on anti regime protesters but it's not israel for national reports while the west says the government's action is oppression some in syria do see it as protection. 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 that have been terrorizing his citizens for weeks and military claim is that these bandits block their weights put up barricades and became

a city we were hiding just like hostages. soldiers of the syrian army are living in the city of near 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 way there is that while tanks have been trying to make their way through jubilant crowds thousands of kilometers away in the white house decision has already matured president bashar 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 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 to bury fragile transition. reforms will give forces to syria that will make the country stronger and syria's anime's don't want syria to be strong america for instance they're sick and tired of a strong syria and they want to weaken its they don't want reforms they need instability and kielce across the country is not responsible and they're pressure it works for it with contradictory reports about policemen and security officers killed across the country and the army is continue to crackdown on protesters despite president assad's pledges to the u.n. to talk with three operations the syrian people no longer know who to trust and what to believe. with a country at the crossroad again the on themselves with patience and refreshing r.t. syria. a signature sport now big news story there to the world of football abuzz
