fighting intensifies the associated press say that nato has bagged the forces and they have advanced to within a few kilometers of tripoli city center eyewitnesses are tweeting that an independence flying has been raised on a mosque in the city there are also reports on social media sites that state t.v. in libya has gone off the air traffic spokesperson brahimi has called for a cease fire but says the rebels are not ready to listen. more than one thousand three hundred people have been killed within the last twelve hours of fighting that's according to the libyan government spokesperson spokesman . he had wrist addressed journalists in it for police accusing nato forces of causing death and destruction and nato is that packing the heart of a peaceful civilian city. army that it's taken.

positions. here. again. no political project no real dream for libya what they want right now is revenge. political analyst mahdi nasm royer who's in tripoli says nato is the major player in your side of. they specifically targeting the areas where international journalists are dependent their need or has done all the heavy work this is a nato war make no mistake this is a major war they heavily bombed cities west of here they bombed the night without even ten seconds of stuff they bombed this entire city knaidel landed the insurgents on to the coast of tripoli they have no respect for the international

press i was putting up a sign on the hotel on top of the hotel i took the initiative to use and rape red and snipers shot at me i was told right now i can't confirm it but i was told and a lot of the living and the people in green square and other parts of the city arms and ready to fight to defend this nation i don't know how to play out it was a huge ecological war here this is a war after the media has been deliberately involved here this war is not about colonel gadhafi colonel gadhafi is just the pretext for this war this war has nothing to do with printed afy has been doing money from the people achieve player in the military campaign against the libyan regime washington has claimed 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 than it is you can have more 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 qaddafi regime the whole of the international community has been united in saying that gadhafi 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 khadafi moscow including russia as well but the means by which nato has been accomplishing the goal of al sting khadafi have seen many violations of the un 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 the funneling of weapons to levy and rebels has been done in here a violation of the arms embargo that was imposed on libya western powers clearly took sides in the civil war basically disregarding the whole part of the population that never wanted to an intervention in the first place in light of all those while ations it was very unlikely that the u.n.

security council would have adopted another resolution on levy a constant temperature that camera 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 so 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 heavy backing they've been have really backed by western powers including the united states the head of the council . who has traveled to washington a number of times it's 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 a leader by believe 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 under a very suspicious circumstances 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 libya 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 and he's going to church and there from washington now president sarkozy of france as well as the german government are again calling on khadafi to step down in the face of the recent

gains by the rebels artie's daniel bushell is in paris with the latest president sarkozy called on gadhafi to immediately give what power he has left to all his forces to cease fire and to give way because he called the legitimate libyan authorities as the outcome of the rebel victory is no longer in belts the french leader i did he fully supports the rebels he called this at the source of moments on hailing the libyan people who support them reiterating france's backing for the rebel provisional council germany has called on gadhafi to step down quickly different six ers here fear for olds will no use military force in the capital putting civilian lives at risk and that it will use the international criminal courts employments of gadhafi as a justification. recording from the paris will come back to the story in just a bit but right now moving on cross border violence has erupted into the middle east of this week with is that real launching airstrikes in gaza hamas responded by

launching more than one hundred rockets and mortars into the country the violence erupted after a series of attacks inside the jewish state on thursday that killed eight civilians latest reports however suggest that egypt has managed to broker a ceasefire between the two sides archies palace leader is the following the developments for us from jerusalem. the reports we're receiving indicate that matter crucial say that cairo has brokered this truce which goes into the evening we understand there tell of the of what has been turned out about making any kind of agreement with the guards up pictures and let the militants the put down fire first we also understand it will be the responsibility of her massive security codes and 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 between the two sides and will all really survive the test of time this latest violence started on tuesday in

a three pronged attack there cliff eighty's rabies did that it's all responded almost immediately with the strikes and those airstrikes have been continuous since . there have been more than a dozen palestinians killed if in more than eighty grad and 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 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 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 we've seen. over ties in with the current domestic problems. that israel this very weekend we saw the marches on the streets you have more people protesting about 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 the word 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 that latest spate of violence many believe that netanyahu was hoping for something like this to happen because he is the prime minister that is very strong. on security issues on issues of what 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 protesters in all the major cities in israel and they marched again last night and was before the slogan was a call for social justice they added a new slogan used today saying they call it for a cease fire now the protesters that i've been speaking to are adamant that they will not tolerate this latest spate of violence to attract the netanyahu government from a great scene conses they plan that by the first weekend in september they'll head a million man march they believe they'll get

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 and want to keep this latest spate of violence that they say has made an even more determined to make sure that netanyahu any government creates its be concerns. as they are reporting from i'm speaking with my colleagues earlier this evening and now back to our top story we can now cross to our it's a journalist busy hielan in tripoli to find out what's happening on the ground there. can you just give us an example of the feeling of what's happening now in tripoli. yes well we just had a few minutes ago from the government spokesman for him that one thousand three hundred people have been murdered in tripoli over the past twelve hours because of the emergence of the rebels in tripoli with the support of nato and yesterday at

over three hundred people were killed and just today more than one hundred people were injured so the situation now is very grave and crucial and it's. but it's the only obstacle to this brutal bloodbath in should be happening here is is nato and the minute that nato leaves this country i mean it is like shades well and it's the rebels admitted at the beginning of the crisis that without the support of nato they would have collapsed within two days and this morning we had. a press conference with the heads of the libyan intelligence analysts and you see who accused the west of working with al qaeda which the government of course has been saying all along and this is indicated a number of times during this crisis most recently by an al-jazeera interview with none other than. the who is a well known al qaeda terrorist who was speaking on behalf of the rebels in libya

so now we have a situation whereby al-qaeda is leaving nato underground in libya they are their ground force they are poorly nato and telling them where to bomb and here in tripoli every time that the rebels the threat from the masses the masses in tripoli and the libyan army nato bombs as. him says anything that moves so really tiny well overdue for a cease fire and for negotiations as i said we've seen one thousand three hundred people killed in the past twelve hours alone is almost. equal to the number which was massive in the three week by israel in gaza in two thousand and eight thousand and ninety so really. the wildcard is about raising that. raising their voices across the world because they're in two thousand and eight and two thousand and

nine where are they people are people of libya could question we are hearing reports that the islamic party son has been captured by the rebels we're also hearing reports that himself may have left tripoli proper what are you hearing on the ground what is your sense from being there as to what's happening on that front well first of all. was arrested first i believe first of all that came from al jazeera which of course has been at the center of the media conspiracy against me and they claims that saif al islam which was captured in the rixos hotel which is where i am now and which is where i have been for the past twenty four also hours and i can guarantee you that nothing of the sorts happens here. in regards to give that the leaving the country this is an absolute nonsense he will never leave the country over and over again he has sacrificed a lot for this country and he has and he has fought the west before and this is

surely not the last time that he will. be is a tree. under which in the shade of which we states we planted it with our hands and we. are not the words of a man who is going to betray his country he will he will die fighting in libya if necessary of course you know we've also heard that there are the state run television is off the air but we're also hearing that he has addressed people with an audio message from that same source are you seeing libyan television on currently and what what are they reporting. i haven't seen i could turn on the television right now by them and move away from the from the camera just to verify that for you when i could do that for a late update and yes i did i did also hear that he was addressing libyan people by a libyan television so i'm just waiting for confirmation of that myself also reports coming in the army has surrendered the libyan army has surrendered to

rebels also that put off his personal guard has laid down their arms are you hearing this as well or is this a media fabrication and i'm sure that this will not be the case i mean. if the libyan army surrender then. they are they're entering. you know they essentially opening up the. group of criminals al-qaeda linked groups and see africa and raise this as we have seen with the mass shootings of black people in benghazi and elsewhere in libya in their libyan army is very resilient as we know it's not yet using its military capability it has stayed off the world's largest military force for the past five months it's not going to is the decisive battle now it's not just going to roll over and leave its people so this. essentially of criminals all right thank you very much live from

the libyan capital that was independent journalist was a feeling we'll keep you up to date as more information becomes available thank you for joining us. to britain now where two young men have been handed a tough jail sentences for using facebook to encourage violent riots terms were praised by prime minister david cameron but slammed by human rights groups as over the top of a bennett has more on 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 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 that there is a danger that the courts are moving into disproportionate territory and not actually devalues our response to more serious crimes the government's encouraged cause to dish out harsh sentences by using the public disturbance as an aggravating factor it's meant this man anderson fernandez could even be sent to jail for thing 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 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 saying that some of the crime that we saw on the streets was an expression of people not feeling participating not feeling part of 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 basement 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 and services when we know they are plotting violence disorder and criminality when social media fuel revolutions in egypt and tunisia britain called it democracy but now the shoe's on the other foot when troubles closer to home are very current. we knew you know that it's the poor.

move and we would be the force that we. the prime minister says this is where britain fights back put it speeds this fighting fire with fire could only fan the flames of civil disorder i've given it r c london. a collective economic a government that's the latest measure proposed by e.u. leaders in their bid to hold market turmoil and reverse of the stagnation across the continent but the latest ideas have found little support among investors and say it's too little too late angela merkel and nicolas sarkozy rejected the idea of euro bonds favored by the markets and is seen by many as the best way of emerging from the crisis and according to international consultant and former belgian m.p. lord. the entire affair was a p.r.

boost for politicians. and went to london biggest economies of the european monetary union get together that is all of course still is meaningful is on the psychological level and in these meetings tend to draw the line of should be a euro zone countries at last in general so we're going to decide here is basically taken i'm going the other countries they're not going after the ones that cost to christ they're not going out and ones that have the. dentists we lost in this crisis i mean why not talk about the reason texas under the steeple why not to talk about it being social demands on these bailouts for the banks merkel and sarkozy are facing huge problems which are popularity in the in the polls so i think it's also new with the image of building answer not so much really to finding a real solution and in yet another blow to the euro zone of the blocks a second one hundred sixty billion euro bailout for greece maybe under threat

athens has agreed to provide finland with a collateral in return for its contribution to the financial rescue package but it's smart indignation among the other fifteen dollars some of which are now also demanding collateral analysts however warned that greece is incapable of heading out such guarantee is a professor of applied economics patrick linford it says that whack of direction in the e.u. isn't helping battle its crisis. there's obviously a lot of uncertainty about the euro zone and what will happen there goes 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 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 wall they will produce

a fiscal union with big trans was 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. 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 and 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 has also refused to back the calls saying assad should be given

more time to implement promised reforms this comes in a wake of a crackdown on anti was in protesters but his arteries and ocean reports while the west sees the government's action as zero pression syria see it as protection. job is done p.c.t. liberated indecently country has become the last syrian city beyond enough to have to clear an extremely strict. have been terrorizing the citizens for weeks the military claimed. hundreds blocked the waits barricades it became a city hiding we were just like hostages. soldiers of the syrian army are living in the city of the iraqi border. officials are saying operation is now over that the city has been freed from armed groups as you can see people are welcome in the soldiers as the waiters but while tanks have been trying to make their way through

jubilant crowds thousands of kilometers away in the white house a solution 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 there. has insisted that assad should be given time to implement promised changes his recent decisions to release political prisoners for appeal emergency law and allow peaceful demonstrations have indicated the right direction but external pressure could still bury fragile transition. problem reforms would give forces to syria it will make the country stronger but syria's enemies don't want syria to be strong america for instance is sick and tired of a strong syria and they want to weaken its they don't want reforms they need instability in chaos across the country as long as possible and their pressure

works for it with contradictory reports about policemen and security officers killed across the country and the army's continued crackdown on protesters despite president assad's pledges to the un and his top military operations the syrian people no longer know who to trust and want to believe. with a country at the crossroads again the on themselves with patience american ocean r.t. syria. and returning to our breaking news story with courts are coming in libyan leader moammar gadhafi is personal security guard has disarmed and surrendered the rebel council says it will stop the fighting that's raging around the capital tripoli if gadhafi leaves the country al-jazeera is reporting that three of gadhafi is sons are being held by rebels other reports coming from the associated press agency say that the rebels are coming under sniper fire as they near the capital's
