the images the world has been seeing from the streets of canada as. corporations are today. breaking news this morning here in r t libyan rebels reportedly seize control of most of the capital following a major nato bath advance that according to the government sought thirteen hundred people killed but some sources on the ground have told r.t. it's too early to say tripoli is falling and there is still confusion as to who is controlling the city. he has. had a national journalist in tripoli fear for their lives we bring you a firsthand account of the hotel that's already fallen prey to looters. meanwhile celebrations are in full swing in the rebel stronghold of benghazi but experts who draw parallels with events in egypt warn of the dissolution of the will likely

follow. plots disproportionate just as british judges are accused of overreacting in cases ranging from recent rioting to war a veteran who recorded the court hearing in spanish and it's often don't match the crimes. it is to me out of the russian capital you're watching r t i'm marina joshie welcome to the program and our breaking news story this morning libyan rebels claim they are in control of most of the country's capital tripoli t.f. gadhafi sons are arrested with some reports suggesting a leader himself is in a specialist heart hospital in a 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 waving revolutionary flats journalist. is

a hotel in tripoli where the foreign press has been obliged to state during the conflict. guy just started out and started the day while i was putting certain secrets. signs of put them in front of the hotel they fired the hotel 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 secure about that there's been moving you know tell right now i'm in the evening in media stories office which is. basically you need permission to be near. i to believe it's coming your show you can looting you can see the projector up there was taken and you can see the lighters and they put. they've been going through the rooms of people even the looters young men i don't think they were dangerous at all but it's a young man who just come in they're going to all the rooms it started collecting

things you can see they broke the doors locked doors and again you can see. a lot of steel protectors computers. this is happening in various offices here the next few hours for us here are going to be critical. in regards to tripoli i don't think that fighting is and i think it could be more fighting it's been very quiet here that region just shot at the hotel right. i cannot say for now what would happen but it. would be peace and you know bloodshed that nato is. down all that you or i mean here. and the leaders you know states have to be held accountable as worker gets killed civilians you know and they're saying they want to get rid of moammar gadhafi as a tyrant do that to your saudi allies and your allies and back in your allies in qatar who have been imposing democracy and who have been killing their own

populations in the opening that we see three taken out by an international contingent from the united nations not from nato the british are talking about evacuating this place twenty five nationals. only five of if not the rest of us. and i was in as annoyed talked to earlier as the mainstream media talks of people waving revolutionary flags all over tripoli some independent reports suggest you may be regaining control journalist uneasy feels it could be the libyan leader's intentional strategy 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 of the libyan government and army was the permit rebels inside the city because previously they had been operating in sleeper cells and therefore it was very difficult for

the libyan army to know where they were in say their strategy was part of bringing them out of the. direct compensation so that they could weave quite swiftly and also we have heard that the traits of the large tribes that were shipped by no one. and other tribes came in from came from their areas to tripoli and joined the battle we have also heard that there was. people there. so this is this is the information that i'm hearing from our contacts across chippie of course this is a huge time around. if they turn out to be if they do if they are confirmed 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 the rebels. the white house has hailed what a cold a tipping point for the regime of colonel gadhafi but it is

a positive sentiments perils have already been drawn to gyptian celebrations on top of square the disillusionment that later followed he's going to cali ports from washington d.c. . and president obama spoke earlier this sunday night saying tripoli is slipping from the grasp of a tyrant also that could offer you must relinquish power once and for all nato secretary general has made a statement of similar in fact saying they could offer a regime is crumbling and that now the levy is 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 there from washington has been a key player in the fight for tripoli that's the forest part of nato and as we know at this point nato has done the heavy work the means by which nato has been

accomplished the goal of ousting khadafi have seen many violations of the u.n. resolution from six months ago that authorized the military intervention building lot of all those violations it was very unlikely that the u.n. security council would have adopted yet another resolution on the lead to come september and september it 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 when you look at the footage coming from believe very much reminds. a cheering that we saw in cairo when hosni mubarak was ousted and then the army took over and the egyptians are still struggling to make their voice heard and many who are afraid that their voices could be ignored by the international community. kind of she can reporting there from washington california based political scientist dr michael grant he says protecting civilians was just

a pretext for nato to step in to leave topple gadhafi and redirect the country's economy. expect the same thing as you saw happen in yugoslavia and these. there will be a mansion that you say should take place public economy that the government had built over forty years which included public subsidies for housing education health care for privatized the oil peak oil fields will be handed over to me private companies private property that's why they will come in and clean out. those who might still have a commitment a social way or a communal way. and this is what we have to look forward to and that was the real intention it was twofold for the government it wasn't any humanitarian concern it wasn't any concern for democracy or human rights. france germany and italy are

again calling on khadafi to fishel a step down in the face of the rebel storming of tripoli there are fears of more bloodshed amid rumors france may use its military forces to try to capture the leading leader are his daniel bushnell's in paris well latest president sarkozy called on gadhafi to immediately give out what power he has left to order his forces to cease fire and to give way to what sarkozy called the legitimate libyan authorities has called the outcome of the rebel victory is no longer in dealt but the french leader added he fully supports the rebels but the source of moments and 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 defense experts here fear france will now 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. reporting there now with speculation rising on what's ahead for libya it for apples when we are interested in your opinion on the matter like you can express it at r t dot com so far most of our viewers think leo will turn into another oil rich colony for nato members twenty one percent don't believe anything will change at all and just under a vast field libya will split as an internal struggle for power will start the remainder of the year or say the country will turn into a democratic state though you can also let us know what you think of history tell website. and it will be following the dramatic events in the course on air and online day for you so stay with us for that if you can. that was the british courts busy dealing was riot cases human rights groups have

been crying foul over the shard disparity being seen between crime and punishment some judges have been accused of overreacting as saw for the first time among those now spending time with the looters behind bars as of war veteran his crime was recording a court hearing as his lawyer and it reports the reason behind his 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 when 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 recording a court hearing he said he did it because he's hard of hearing but the judge didn't

accept that it was a very harsh sentence and i believe it was because she's recovering the corruption that the judiciary has she done frown upon a scar that is no stranger to the legal system he won a case in the european court of human rights banning the secret hearings yet still some cases in england all heard behind closed doors and recording and taking photographs is forbidden unlike in other e.u. 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 gag those who disagree with them that's why m.p. john hemming suspects the charge was trying to shut him up we have in theory in this country something called freedom of expression that is 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 that this is an attempt to gag an elderly gentleman he may not always be

right but he has a right to hear luckily for scott he has friends with knowledge of the law and they're getting for him normally the portico for his case here for the royal courts of justice but they do feel justice is being served to heaven meanwhile claims he's being denied it and chill 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 asleep. norman scarth is about 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 your and it's london now as the

u.k. government is determined harsh justice will help mand its broken society arthur owen jones says it's the lead which sets a bad example for those committing crimes is for interviews coming up in about fifteen minutes time here in r.t. . we're most expensive cities on the planet in the world in this country is not one of the little you can't support a family with these are huge social problems which aren't being addressed and we have these problems at a time when people at the top a river so yes we have the bunkers he plunged the international crisis group of politicians he stole from the taxpayer we recently have a new international scandal where police were being bribed by journalists what happened was more disorderly that all raw example precept of the top. they received bailout money and they're now reporting profits but the financial recovery of u.s. carmakers is filtering down to the streets of the country's once booming automotive

capital the troy it's increasingly looks like a ghost town and its residents are literally survive again scraps as. non government. this was once a city that symbolized america's innovation and manufacturing might. but today detroit is the third most violent city in the u.s. with unemployment estimated at up to fifty percent according to officials the once glamorous motor city now has more people living in poverty than cars on the streets home foreclosures continue the flight to the suburbs which takes the tax base away from the city and there's more and more of that the decline in the school system. is making people leave the city and so there's no money here really in the know

there are no jobs here and as the u.s. census points out a quarter of a million people have left detroit in the past ten years the economic scars of this once vibrant city are impossible to escape roughly sixty thousand vacant buildings and thirty five thousand abandoned homes why in the streets of detroit hollow shells of america's former middle class which have ignited an industry of scrappers people who turn these properties of copper wire and steel pipes as a means i think of. scrappers ruins for profit yards like this just five miles out of detroit scrap yard owner albert talat says he sees new faces every day a little bit more and they give the kaiser a very pretty girl agree to make everything drama here. even more hellish is the sight of a city looting itself landmark buildings and foreclosed homes are gutted for

survival go around their way to do a little scale or to flip it over in addition to scrappers an increasing number of cash working americans. are treated in goods for greenbacks guy in a lexus and we're going to go to a suit and tie in little brass lamp where you know he's not into the like recycling kind of guy who broke short of moving the u.s. president promised things would be better for america's car making capital after the two thousand and nine fifty billion dollar bailout general motors and chrysler are automakers are in the midst of their strongest period of job growth in more than a decade since g.m. and chrysler emerged from bankruptcy the industry has created more than seventy five thousand new jobs for the first time in six years ford g.m. and chrysler are all operating at a profit g.m. has reported six straight quarterly profits chrysler's revenue is said to be up by

thirty percent nearly fourteen billion dollars from last year what about bail in that people out you tell about the corporations who bailed out the banks and does it mean a whole lot because the people who were in the city still don't get those jobs those guys are still being outsourced so that can't nobody in the community they're not getting the know they're not benefiting from them so you still have a life the sins of people who are jobless in this once great industrial beacon of american idea where henry ford pioneered the famous model t. production schools police and fire stations now stand a bandit as many americans are reduced to dealing in scraps here you'll take just to make ends meet up point nine tarty detroit. now is take a look at some other stories from around the world series president has once again said regime is not a tour of the last. and the government is able to deal with the current unrest in the country the statements were made and an interview broadcast on state t.v.

human rights groups say more than two thousand people have been killed and the government's crackdown on protesters since march. washington has said it's disappointed by iran's decision to sentence two 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 they say they accidentally strayed into iran but are any of the words claimed they were working for american intelligence agencies. funerals have been held for the thirty u.s. soldiers who were killed in a helicopter crash in afghanistan there was shot down by taliban insurgents earlier this month in the single deadliest incident for american forces in a decade long war as artie's military contributor says the investigation into the crash should lead washington to changes tactics and both against you and pakistan.

the special operations command chief should analyze and presenting the latest to new cases disaster through the secretary of defense and to persuade lit on an air vent his view regarding be an undeclared drone warfare in pakistan and the much touted county insurgency in afghanistan undermine the whole of government approach to these conflicts the best way to minimize unnecessary casualties would be to officially admit obvious fact that neither counting insurgency in afghanistan nor drone warfare work in fact they both rep or do use of the anti-american feelings well beyond their region and are perceived and exploited as the main recruiting tool for the terrorist and other transformational organisations state against the

united states strategic interests and against its allies and friends we're told beyond their behalf. but we are today now and let's see what's happening in the world of business you'll be doing this next. hello and a very warm welcome that's right time to delve into the world of business global in this is a trying to catch your breath after last week's panic buying investors are waiting for clues from the federal reserve as it prepares to announce further quantitative easing measures. there will be some kind of stimulus measures coming along because clearly they can't really use interest rates anymore but at the level there and it will be probably taken positive by the market but focus is always to be on europe so that's going to be key after that but i was counsel i think the problem for the third of. the fact that they've now fixed the interest rates at super pretty fired

up to two thousand and thirteen and just looking backward i mean six months ago the outlook for us was much more rosy and this means that you know how can you believe that you will have the same environment supporting us through you know such a low interest rate in six months or even four months time i think i'd love to have something that could become quite a problem problematic issue. ok now let's take a look at some numbers or as low as reports say rebels in libya and to the country's capital they hope to resume oil output and restore some supplies to the global markets strong dollar and concerns part of the comic growth are also putting pressure on crude grantland is that over one hundred six dollars per barrel while the w. is hovering at eighty two dollars per barrel. asian shares are in the red strong the yen is weighing on its fortunes in tokyo choi you would say is losing more than two percent master is down more than three percent asian markets lost at least one percent last week amid concerns drawls economic prospects.

and not a very strong opening to the russian markets as you can see the arcturus is deeply into red one point seven percent interest in the my six will open in a few moments we'll bring it figures in our next quarter. when wildstein from the bank believes the current volatility is a good chance to cash in. well if you look at value investment from bottom of investment obviously this is very very good times but you have to remember that investment is always based on the liquidity in which it's taken so what is important to know for investors need to ensure in a long term is dead there are several good stocks across the globe where you can now and god in a reasonable prices but you have to cater for the fact that liquidity the banking side of things will be increasingly under pressure you probably see the banks and you're having to recapitalize to some extent some of the u.s. banks also going through the same exercise so would you have these to balance the value in stocks with a lack of liquidity and it's just i think what you need to do is just to average

yourself in don't commit fully here don't get just words either but you know by five percent casper told you this month five percent nation on an average yourself into a good position of in my opinion that's the way to play it and finally it produces will see hard times in russia and the government is planning to tighten its cigarettes policy even more than initially planned well it now wants to hike excise duty on tobacco six times in the hope of bringing about their health their country currently fifty six percent of male and sixteen percent of female russians are smokers under the proposal spoken will be banned in public places including restaurants nightclubs hotels and airports and long other measures tobacco routes on t.v. would be stopped while the sale of cigarettes would be restricted to largest stores only. to say around forty percent of their current sales on from kiosks at all is expected to be approved i think. i brought something this is also enjoying the last
