gains momentum the car sentences handed to those who played only minor parts in the chaos as human rights groups say judges and politicians have gone too far. and e.u. leaders promise of a single economic government fails to reassure anxious investors as fresh trouble over greece once again threatens stability. welcome it's why i'm here in moscow you're watching artsy with me kevin no end in the main news we're just getting through reports coming in saying that gadhafi security brigade has laid down its arms rebels have reportedly entered tripoli from the west to night as fighting in libya appears to be intensifying some estimates put the death toll from the weekend alone in the hundreds with a round of thousand injured it's also believed that major. clashes have seen the

rebels capture the capital's air base opposition forces also claim to have freed prisoners locked up during the uprising against colonel gadhafi his regime just to bring a bit more about the news we were bringing you the very early days of it the. fees force is reported to have made their arms that's coming from the reuters news agency quoting al-jazeera television is also coming from a lot of beer television as well citing the rebels telling them that so again this is all to be verified but they are the latest details we've got through i spoke to a political analyst. he's in tripoli says nato is the major player in the assault. they specifically targeting the areas where international journalists are the. needle is going all the heavy work this isn't a war make no mistake this is a major war they heavily bombed the cities west of here they bombed all night out

even ten seconds of a bomb this entire city needled landed the insurgents on to the coast of tripoli they have no respect for you to national pride i was putting up a sign on the hotel on top of the hotel i took the initiative right track and snipers shot at me i was told right now i can't confirm it but i was told and a lot of the leading into the people in green square in other parts of the city not armed and ready to fight and send this nation i don't know how to play out but it was a huge psychological working at that to work after the media has been deliberately involved here and since i'm on the talk of the media one of my french armies was told by a producer by c.n.n. because we're waiting to be rescued was told that now you're going to suffer the consequences of your actions i think you're posing for war again beneath a war this was a threat this is not what this war is not about colonel gadhafi colonel gadhafi is

just a pretext for this war this war has nothing to do you know gadhafi has to do with stealing money from people that's what it has shocked been in a while just fear and then there is resistance and many of them children really so it's actually young men picking up going to defend this country. independent journalist as you feel it is in fifth place as of this far as she can see the rebels haven't yet established any sort of control within the city as opposed to last hour. i don't. really i'm international areas certainly i prepared that but you are right it was. just whatever you want to call them i'm not. impressed and i'm kind of. the opposition didn't take. really how long they have lost power. over the libyan army which of course is the conventional army and of course.

by the government. so raping our and being alone. even if by. any kind of popular support for. any kind of they don't have any large. the key player in the military campaign against the libyan regime washington's claim the rule of gadhafi is coming to an end the u.s. is reported to be in close contact with rebel leaders and is monitoring the situation on the ground he's going to reports from washington we haven't heard any official say statements yet but as the rebels are closing in on tripoli we might be well seeing the end of the whole of the international community has been denied it is saying they couldn't he has no future in a libya and that including all of the members of the u.n. security council they all shared their view that moscow including russia as well

but the means by which they needed was being accomplishing the goal of ousting khadafi have seen many violations of the u.n. resolution that authorized the military intervention six months ago the resolution was designed to protect civilians but many innocent civilians have been killed by nato strikes during those six months and funneling those weapons to leave you. in here a violation of the arms embargo that was imposed on libya western powers clearly took sides in the civil war basically. it's regarding the whole part of the population that never wanted an intervention in the first place in light of all those violations it was very unlikely that the un security council would have adopted and now the resolution only via constant temper as it temper is when the previous resolution runs out so it's very it was very crucial for the rebels and nato to carry out the operation before the resolution expires from we see on the ground the rebels might be meeting the deadline there's although the rebels are far

from being a homogenous group their official leadership and that is the transitional national council as being recognized by all allied forces there who have been helping them oust gadhafi the rebels have seen some have the backing they've been have really backed by western powers including the united states the head of the council most stuff really has traveled to washington a number of times he has received overwhelming support from politicians here so he's definitely seen as their man in tripoli but one of the stumbling points here is that he hasn't been chosen as the leader by the levy and people themselves and many leaders libyans are outraged by the fact that those very important choices are being made for them also going back to the point that the rebels are not a homogenous group there has been some infighting going on among the rebels as well at the end of july a top rebel military commander was killed and

a very suspicious circumstance or circumstances which led to believe that the head of the transitional national council might have had a hand in that murder but again that infighting has been very murky and definitely has not received enough coverage but many experts are saying the fight for being in charge of levy is no surprising considering what is at stake and let's not forget it is a nation that has the richest oil reserves in africa. he's going to church account with their own freelancer in a super tranda news recently bug from libya news now in london told we need to have a successful campaign in libya in order to move on to other parts of the arab world . we've heard this several times before that we're on the verge of gadhafi and regime change is just about to take place in libya where more than five months into a nato bombing campaign six months into this libyan crisis and gadhafi is still

there but the thing is i don't want to deny for a second not there is some kind there's some level of clashes taking place in tripoli which they obviously are there's mixed reports about the about the airport that's been taken or hasn't been taken so far and no strategic positions have been taken by the rebels in tripoli so it remains to be seen really how this plays out and already even in the western mainstream press we're having voices that are saying don't expect this to be over in days days or weeks even expect this to some many months yet this is a city of two million people that generally is moyle to the regime and on people so it's yet to remain to be seen how this the thought will evolve from here on in this has to be put into relation to what's happening with syria and with palestine it doesn't surprise me to hear headlines just just a few minutes ago that egypt has broken the ceasefire between the palestinian resistance and the zionist state of israel and one thing is for sure the palestinian resistance will continue to fight against israel because they know that the arab spring is the progress the arab spring is arab spring clean up for the

west and the palestinian resistance want to turn the arab spring and the pro-west arab spring into an arab spring clean of zionism and empire of politics in the region so really what the west is trying to do the trying to make libya a quote unquote success that they can roll on syria next. president sarkozy of france as well as the german government again calling a good step in the face of the recent gains by the rebels of these dental bushnell's in paris with the latest on that side of it. president nicolas sarkozy has political rivals in the study of. the libyan people all the myriad created backing of the global provisional caldor nuclear program that immediately. he had left at the ruble victory is no longer in doubt but at the idea that it should immediately all that is forbid the pie and to give way to the legitimate as he called it nuclear north or the now lucky has really to live transmission in the last twenty four hours you know the libyan people will never

allow all of the good from a major exporter of energy because it will never allow the collaboration. of the french to rule you close libyans to crush the uprising in tripoli as group of troops are closing in on a crowd source we also know already that they will tripoli that the rebels will. food water and electricity to the councils are you given the oldest open with base because they're very worried that for me as billions in fact security here in the european union to see a flock of people huge international criminal court in boilerplate in thought they did nothing to justify military intervention in the capital because the problem is really in the our record is because the old leaders claim that they will be over including in charge but the. generator power is was pulling the strings militarily but they're also warning about people in the capital could be extremely bloody.

also usually support. and they're all the ability of the robotic. small and too badly organized to actually handle decide. he's done you a bushel there with the latest on the european side of it and reaction i just to bring you more of the main news story we're getting we're hoping to put some more meat on the on the bones of this story. we have heard as we went on air the top of the reports were coming in this colonel gadhafi security brigade troops have laid arms that is still to be substantiated it was coming from the reuters news agency has been mentioned a number of news outlets a news agencies in the last few minutes as a say we're treating this with some skepticism yet until we can get this for you but i'm telling you exactly what we know is it's coming through looking at the news wires and it's also being reported on twitter as well reuters quoting al-jazeera

television quoting the say they're saying rebels are telling some people would say the rebels would say that wouldn't they as i say we need to get more on that but if that is true that is obviously very big news tonight if you just joined us this is r.t. international and the main story is that reports in the last ten minutes coming in saying that the gadhafi security brigade has laid down its arms and made reports tonight for the last few as a fierce clashes around tripoli earlier on colonel gadhafi asked his citizens to defend the capital with rebels fighting for control of a central square there are also unconfirmed reports but a lot of reports nonetheless of the country's major military bases no thought to be in rebel hands and strengthening their chances the thoughts are of victory there we have got people on the scene in tripoli tonight telling us what they were seeing lizzie feeling was one of the reporters earlier on she was saying where she was at least there wasn't wasn't too much going on there was some violence and it wasn't

shooting but it wasn't of the scale as some media outlets were reporting we also talked to another child who was holed up in a hotel they had been shot earlier on we could hear the gunfire going on in the background so obviously tension very much ratcheting up tonight in libya as if these reports are to be believed the rebels are now in. tripoli it's. self and as a say the other big news if the security brigade has indeed laid down its arms we're trying to get on top of this story for you we're hoping to bring you more in the next ten minutes. cross-post of violence a sword meantime in the middle east this week with israel launching airstrikes in gaza which for packed with dozens of rocket attacks latest reports suggest that egypt has managed to broker a cease fire between the two sides tonight which could come into effect within the next few hours as opposed to what is paula slee mideast correspondent in jerusalem

about these latest developments to. the reports we're receiving indicate that her matter to say that cairo has brokered this truce which goes into effect this evening we understand there tell of there was hesitant about making any kind of agreement with the guards are pictures and lit the militants or the put down fire first we also understand it will be the sponsibility i'm asked security personnel to enforce this cease fire not only this is good news but the reality on the ground is that no one here really believes that a cease fire between the two sides will rasta and will who really survive the test of time this latest violence started on thursday in a three pronged attack there to lift eighty israelis did that it's all responded almost immediately with strikes and those strikes have been continuous since. there have been more than a dozen palestinians killed they have been more than its eighty grad and some rockets that have rained down on southern israeli towns killing one israeli and

injuring many more so certainly the the since on the ground is there 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 benjamin netanyahu has been preparing for a war with gaza for some time and never really what happened on tuesday was just perfect opportunity to carry out the assault that he seems to have 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 a lot of the government's domestic policy right now there is some cynicism isn't there about the timing of these. assaults across the weekend at the same time as they were demonstrating about the problems within israel but it certainly has some cynicism here in israeli circles when you talk to demonstrators base here that they're not surprised that 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. security issues issues of like what is called terrorism here in israel rather than on addressing socio economic internal problems so for more than a month now you've had tens of thousands of protesters in all of the major cities in israel they marched again last night and was before the so there was a call for social justice they added a new slogan yesterday saying a call for a cease fire now the protesters that i've been speaking to are adamant that they will not let this latest spate of violence to attract the netanyahu government from addressing is the consequence they plan their first weekend in september they'll head a million man march they believe they'll get a million israeli citizens in the street so that's almost one sixth of the population here so he certainly is a lot of disgruntled israelis that are to domestic issues and if anything radically this latest spate of violence that they say has made him even want to try him and to make sure that netanyahu and his government addresses the concerns of his movies

correspondent paula. britton two young men in the tough jail sentences for using facebook to encourage violent riots or jail terms were praised by prime minister david cameron but slammed by human rights groups as over the top of his other bed it has warned how the policy of zero tolerance has taken hold of 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 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 whatley 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 and not 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 can and is could even be sent to jail for think of just two scoops of ice cream was like this one of the annoying baled the 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 reminded 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 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 feeling proud to society not feeling part of our communities and these measures are actually going to push it 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 crackdown 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 she needs britain called it democracy but now the shoe's on the other foot and troubles closer to home i'm very conscious we knew you know the. poor.

only when you thought we would be. the prime minister says this is where britain fights back but it's this fighting fire with fire could only fan the flames of civil disorder arthur bennett r.t. london. a collective economic government that's the latest measure proposed by top e.u. leaders in their bid to hold market turmoil and reverse the stagnation across the continent but the latest ideas have found all support among investors who say it comes as too little 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 of merging from the crisis political analyst and author william angle believes there is little real substance to these latest measures being proposed to them or if i think the collective economic government for american sarkozy you 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 surrendering national sovereignty to a collective entity that has any decision power so it's simply a shimmer that's been thrown out there to try to calm the markets the alternative really is is to get steve will act. sport market relations i think above all with with russia the central asian republics trying to 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 no new austerity

there is no up to this crisis. well in yet another blow to the euro zone the block second hundred sixty billion euro bailout for greece could be under threat athens has agreed to provide finland with collateral in return for its contribution to the financial rescue package but sparked indignation among the other fifteen goannas some of which are now also demanding collateral unless the wall that greece is incapable of handing out guarantees like that the commission says it best to go where the finance actions were appropriate. but more troubles in the middle east syria's president assad's giving a live t.v. interview saying the regime is not in danger of falling and that the government is able to deal with the current unrest in the country syrian state media has condemned the u.s. and european calls for president assad to step down so they could move part of a conspiracy russia's also refused about the course saying assad should be given more time to implement promised reforms this comes in the wake of

a crack there on anti regime protesters but as artie's maria for national found while the west sees the government's action as oppression some men see you see it as protection. job is done the city liberated in east of the country has become the last syrian city beyond enough to have to clear an extremist street happen terrorizing its citizens for weeks. sees that these bandits block their weights put up barricades it became a case in the hiding just like hostages. soldiers of the syrian army i live in the city or so 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 way there is a twelve tanks have been trying to make their way through jubilant crowds thousands of kilometers away in the white house situation 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. 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 very fragile transition. reforms would give forces to syria and will make the country stronger but syria's enemies don't want syria to be strong america for instance they are sick and tired of a strong syria and they want to weaken it they don't want reforms they need instability and chaos across the country as long as possible and they're pressuring it works for it with contradictory reports about policemen and security officers killed

across the country and the army has continued crackdown on protesters despite president assad's pledges to the u.n. to stop military operations and syrian people no longer know who to trust and who want to believe. with their country at the crossroad again the on themselves with patience refinishing r.t. syria. you're watching out international live from moscow i promised you we don't they too soon as we got more details on the the main news at the top of the hour which is that reports have been coming in over the last half hour that libyan leader moammar gadhafi is personal security guard has disarmed and surrendered that's according to the white is news agency in the last thirty minutes or so we're also hearing the rebel council claiming that colonel gadhafi son saif islam has been captured more details emerging to in the last half hour rebels say they
