in touch with her chilly touch your book the future a good good how would international health clubs achieve every dream lol he told. the breaking news this morning to begin rebels reportedly seize control of most of the capital following a major nato back advance to pour into the government's top thirteen hundred people killed the son of his forces on the ground have told r.t. it's too early to say tripoli is falling and there's still confusion as to who's controlling the city. through all the. b.s. . and national journalists in tripoli fear for their lives with bring you a firsthand account from their hotel that's already fallen prey to looters. meanwhile celebrations are in full swing in the rebel stronghold of benghazi but experts will draw parallels with events in egypt the art of the disillusionment that will likely follow. plus disproportionate justice british judges are accused

of overreacting in cases ranging from recent riding to war veteran who recorded a court hearing as punishment often don't match the crimes. of the russian capital you're watching r t with me rima joshie our breaking news story this morning libyan rebels claim they are in control of most of the country's capital tripoli two of gadhafi sons are resting with some reports suggesting the leader in self isn't a specialist or hospital in the town fourteen kilometers east of tripoli following a night of chaos in the capital crowds were seen in the city's central square with people having revolutionary waving revolutionary flags and we cross live journalism on the royal. hotel in tripoli where foreign journalists have been obliged to stay

during the conflict marty thank you for being here with us this morning now you have been trapped as most journalist in the hotel so tell us what has been like for you where you threatened over the night. guy got fired at the start of the day while i was putting signs saying press signs and put him in front of. the fire you can tell they have snipers. we all feel threatened it's less now than before but if the rebels get here a lot of us are feel very insecure about that. one situation right now. what is it like now do you see any gunshots outside of yes. we haven't stepped outside the snipers but they've been there's been looting in a hotel right now i'm in the being in media authorities office which is. basically you need permission to be near i took the liberty to come in here to show

you the looting you can see the project here up there was taken and you can see the lighters. they have been going through the rooms of people even the looters young men i don't think they were dangerous at all but young men who just come in. going into all the rooms and started collecting things you could see he broke the doors were locked doors and again you can see. people ladders to steal the projectors computers. this is happening in various offices here i want to also point fact that the foreign journalists immunity went into these offices because their files kept on them are kept here in files on all of us using we are kept here and be immediately took the chance to come in here and to. continue to fight us basically because they weren't happy about it either and.

speaking about the files she bolts and e-mails. from i think one of the d.c. gentlemen roger. security base files were used in the reasons we. kind of such. so you can see. when we've all divided we're not no different to different. places throughout the week our kids come here and we hope we'll be received by an international contingent from the united nations not from nato the british are talking about evacuating disgrace only for five nationals. only for five years not the rest of the next month but i understand that the situation is very volatile at the moment from what you're saying but can you tell us if you can perhaps hear what's happening outside

to hear any gunshots do you hear any any people there at all what's been going on. no i haven't heard any gunshots i have been in touch with local libyans. they are telling me they. don't want things me more and he and i have to be honest with you a deliberate spiritus couple times took the opportunity you can with photo shoot with us ok. you know. i think it's true to say i don't think this regimes. and i don't believe and if what i mean told discovery it sounds very possible because this is based on you could slide tactics to yugoslavia. type that would be it's going to be military moves like the military but a lot of cooperation agreements and there was

a lot of change from the u.k. slots here so this could very well be to groups like to steer it's a mixture of local tactics and maybe even no real warfare. anyways you could see some of the young men who would be in your outside know you're walking around. town it really is. you tell that you told us that there are the snipers outside of the downstairs so who do you think they might be targeting. they were shooting at us putting up her issue let me putting up a press a shot of. why he showed it to you and your fellow journalist might be the target. you have here is firing the firing started again. firing started here or. i'm sorry. but. i'll

get my question asked you earlier so you told us that the sniper is there outside of the hotel and targeting you why do you think is this is the reason why do you think they're targeting international journalists or hold up an escape the interest there and meeting mr sarkozy wants a reason to sent french troops here just like you do in the ivory coast do you know a couple of international journalists they seem to scare us we have painted vien this is responsibility to protect mr sarkozy and his cabinet could easily see that so could president obama and prime minister david cameron you know a couple of us get killed. for multiple reasons not just. his blood in tripoli say we can intervene it's our responsibility to protect since they have a responsibility to protect i'd like to see them want to back rain or other parts of the world that are being bombarded i never saw the response technique rwanda or hasn't or another not. as this is preposterous and we were

they were firing which was meant for you know i'm sure that my colleagues here from the other procedures will say that the cat soldiers in year or something rather killed they'll say anything syrians it is using civilian shields but they're something case i'm sorry i'm not even if they're going to kill me which are. pretty good might. ok. tell us what's happening in your hotel now how many international journalists are there with you and tell us what is the safety situation any i understand that it's not very impressive there at the moment but can you describe what everyone is going through emotionally being there. we're going through we're teeter tottering. you know there's fear there's danger. exhaustion let me tell you a lot of people didn't sleep because the nato bombings immutable i mean skeptics.

they didn't attend sit by me campaign in order to have you serious or write in this new indian track and so it was a very intense bombing here and this kept us up and we're all obviously this is a bit of shock some of my colleagues and i have to speak them very aggressively or to. be. i think. several of us are really afraid for a life it's because of the positions we we have them to or in our opposition to needle intervention in a sovereign state it's nato this is this is a legal gave this is a war of aggression it was not a defensive war whatsoever it is not protect civilians that is improper that is preposterous and if they if anybody believes they protect that city use that is wrong because they are bombing civilian facilities here dear launching an offensive

launched an offensive into tripoli goes that that's very real or not protecting civilians whatsoever and. my colleagues when they go out they report. a lot of things we don't talk about the civilian guests and there's been a lot of civilian deaths we've been abandoned so tell i think we didn't let fear and. we. international community specifically any international initiative that is not a needle which includes the russian federation the people's republic of china and several other countries syria we've got people from iran's press t.v. here you have people from but i am here we have people from tele sure. you see. all these nations have. now speak outside of the context you don't want the contact group as a signal here we want someone we want a neutral configuration but the international community should come and get us out

of here i personally can't speak for everybody but i mean there are some of. the same views as me and. very difficult there is that situation you spend in either being an emotional roller coaster and we will be crossing back to you for more updates but thank you very much indeed for bringing us what you could being in those circumstances there a madison roy in a hotel in tripoli were most of the international journalists are at the moment and thank you very much for showing some of the pictures there and what the looters have done to the hotel thank you very much indeed and stay safe if you can. live there joining us from tripoli. and as the mainstream media talks of people waving revolutionary flags all over tripoli some independent reports suggest the may be regaining control during the sleezy felons feels it could be the libyan leader's international strategy to intentional strategy should say to let

the rebels in. i have heard reports that people have come out in green square and other parts of the city waving the green flag and that the libyan army is in control now what we've heard is that the strategy up in libyan government and army was to permit the rebels inside the city because previously they had been operating in sleeper cells and it was very difficult for the libyan army to know where they were hiding so strategy was part of bringing them out that would could lead to a direct confrontation so that they could be dealt with quite swiftly and also we have heard that the tribes the large tribes that wash a car know what. and the traps came in from came from the areas to tripoli to join the battle we are also going to. the people there. so this is this is the information that i am hearing from our contacts across

chimpy of course this is a huge time around. and if they turn out to be if they do if they are confronted in the coming hours. then it will be very interesting to see what this means for nato and its forces on the ground there you heard rebels. there on the white house is hailed what it called a tipping point for the regime of colonel gadhafi but amid the positive sentiments parallels have already been drawn to gyptian celebrations on tahrir square and the disillusionment that later followed artie's gannett she can reports from washington d.c. . president obama spoke earlier this sunday night saying tripoli is slipping from the grasp of a tyrant also that could alfie and must relinquish power once and for all nato secretary general has made a statement of similar as fact saying they could offer a regime is crumbling and that now the leaders have a chance for a new beginning he also said that the transition must come peacefully and of quote

well that part has raised a lot of questions because everything that was going on in tripoli has been very far from being peaceful we're talking about extensive bombings by nato throughout the weekend actually throughout six months they are from washington has been a key player in the fight for tripoli before as part of nato and as we know with this going to nato has done the heavy work the means by which nato has been accomplishing the goal of ousting could have seen many violations of the u.n. resolution from six months ago that authorized the military intervention in light of all those violations it was very unlikely that the u.n. security council would have adopted yet another resolution or levy a come september and september is when the previous resolution runs out so it was crucial for the rebels and for nato to carry out the operation before the resolution expires so what we hear on the ground in tripoli the rebels and nato forces have met the deadline when you look at the footage coming from believe the

it very much reminds of. the cheering that we saw in cairo when hosni mubarak was ousted and then the army took over there and the egyptians are still struggling to make their voice heard and many leave the unst who are afraid that their voices could be ignored by the international community now. kind of chicago reporting there from washington because forty of base political scientists dr michael parenti says protecting civilians was just a pretext for nato to step into libya topple gadhafi and redirect the country's economy expect the same thing as you saw happen in yugoslavia and in eastern europe there will be a massive privatization take place the public economy because the government has built over forty years which included public subsidies for kind of the education health care all those things will be privatized the oil the oil fields will be and

the whole group of private companies will private profit that squad will come in and clean of. those who might still have a commitment to a social wage or communal wage and this is what we have to code too and that was the real intention it was to overthrow the government it wasn't and humanitarian concern it wasn't any concern for democracy or human rights president sarkozy of france as well as the german government there again calling on khadafi to officially step down in the face of the rebel storing of tripoli and there are fears of more bloodshed and rumors france may use its military forces to try to capture the leading leader at his dental bushnell's in paris was the latest. president sarkozy called on good enough and to give out what power he has left to order his forces to cease fire and to give way to books office he called the libyan

authorities as the outcome of the victory is no longer dealt with the french neither did he fully support the rebels he called this the source of moments and hate the people who support them reiterating france's backing for the rebel provisional council germany has called on gadhafi to step down quickly defense experts here fear. military force in the capital puts and civilian lives at risk and that it will use the international criminal court appointment of gadhafi as a justification. there out with speculation rising on what's ahead for the travels when we are interested in your opinion on the matter well express it r t the dot com so far let's take a look most of the viewers think believe you know will turn into another oil rich colony for in nato members about a third don't believe anything will change at all fourteen percent say leave your wall split as an internal struggle for power will start again during

a nurse say the country will turn into a democratic state welcomed by the snow what you think this issue by logging on to our web site r.t. and having yours. with british courts busy dealing with riots cases human rights groups have been crying foul over the sharp disparity being seen between crime and punishment some judges have been accused of overreacting out of so for the first time among those now spending time with the looters behind bars is a war veteran whose crime was recording a court hearing surtees loran of reports the reason behind us punishment is not that simple. british prisons are full to bursting the courts are working overtime sending young people to jail for their role in the recent riots in england and if they're sent to leeds prison they'll be languishing alongside eighty five year old norman scar he plied the arctic sea cheering the second world war serving

his country taking essential supplies to the soviet union on the most dangerous journey in the world and now he's serving six months in prison on the whim of a british judge his crime was causing a court hearing he said he did it because he's hard of hearing but the judge didn't except that it was a very harsh sentence and i believe it was because she's uncovering the corruption that the judiciary schiedam frown upon make scott is no stranger to the legal system he won a case in the european court of human rights banning secret hearings yet still some cases in england or heard behind closed doors and recording and taking photographs is forbidden unlike in other countries scott attends demonstrations where he shouts about corruption in the police and judiciary saying lawyers police and the courts are in cahoots and regularly persecution of those who disagree with them that's why

m.p. john hemming suspects the church was trying to shut him up we have in theory in this country something called freedom of expression much as people's right to speak out about what they see as wrong as long as they're telling the truth and i'm very worried this is an attempt to gag an elderly gentleman who may not always be right but he has a right to be here luckily for scott he has friends with knowledge of the law and they're acting for him normally the court of the for his case here to the royal courts of justice but they don't feel justice is being served to heaven meanwhile car claims he's being denied it then chilled medication in prison. according to reports conditions in leeds prison are bad the war veteran can't get any exercise because he's unable to walk for the entire hour allocated scott also says he's being denied access to a lawyer by his jailers children growing on every day every fall the issue is equal educational. norman scarth has vowed to keep fighting to expose corruption just as

he fought all those years ago to keep fascism out of his country the irony is the country he fought for is now the one he's fighting against laura and it r.t. london. now as the u.k. government is determined harsh justice will help mand its broken society author owen jones says it's the lead which sets the bad example to those committing crimes is full injurious coming up next hour. when my sense of cities on the planet and then what is in the country is not enough to live on. these are huge social problems which aren't being addressed and we have these problems at a time when people at the top are richer than ever so yes we have. the international crisis group of politicians. and the taxpayer we recently have a new international scandal where police were being bribed by. what happened is more disorderly but the example of things that are the top.

i was take a look at some other stories from around the world syria's president has once again said his regime is not in danger of collapse and the government is able to deal with the current unrest in the country the statements were made in an interview broadcast on state t.v. human rights groups say more than two thousand people have been killed in the government's crackdown on protesters since march. washington has said it's disappointed by iran's decision to sentence to american citizens to eight years in prison the pair were found guilty of spying and illegal entry into the country three americans were arrested in july two thousand and nine when they were hiking on the iran iraq border one of them was later released on bail he accidentally strayed into iran but iranian authorities claim they were working for american intelligence agencies. that time

after a business of date with you. hello and a very warm welcome to the business update it's been called the largest infrastructure project in europe but the first part of the russian backed north rim gas pipeline is finished. witnessed the final stages of construction. this is the very last weld in the first flight of the north korean pipeline this hundred thousand to be in this life this unfolds the golden while not only because it's the final one but also because the rest of them have been tested when they've run water through the pipes life at previously disloyal has to be golden because it's going to get its first test when they feed everybody natural gas for the first time directly to earth and that's going to be happening very shortly i joined that it's not only the world's longest pipeline a bit twelve hundred kilometers low it's also the late withstand extreme conditions

including temperatures as low as minus fifty degrees celsius it travels under the both fix the need to know exactly and the ice dates and it's been described as an example of multilateral cooperation and energy currently russia supplies around a third year of gas and there are concerns that europe will become even more of pendants only russian hydrocarbons now russians aren't suppose by saying that this is really a new stage in energy and gas security they're going to be able to bypass transit countries in the problems that we've seen in the past and have direct delivery of russian natural gas to the european customers. the russian currency has seen a heavy selloff as the uncertainty of pop the cork economy is pushing investors to save havens of us and from the ruble still house room weakness. really the ruble is

held hostage to what happens with the dollar and with all price and given that we we feel it's going to get worse before it gets better i think we're going to further weakening and that could be further sort of accelerated by the populations responding to that and shift in bury their savings into hard currency and just that we could see continuation of capital flight but you know hopefully passing october we should have hopefully again called me situation and that might give some additional fuel for fuel for commodity prices and therefore the currency. and time for a quick look at the markets oil is stuck between gains and losses as reports say rebels in libya and of the country's capsule they hope to resume more logwood and restore some supply to global markets strong a dollar and concerns about economic growth are also putting pressure on current plant is that over one hundred six dollars a barrel wild opportunity i bring at eighty two dollars. billion on to asia shares here are in the right strong again is weighing on exposures and toyota is
