don't match the crimes. it is ten am in the russian capital you're watching r.t.i. marina joshua 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 the leader himself is in a specialist heart hospital 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 journalists. is a hotel in tripoli where the foreign press has been obliged to state during the conflict. guy got fired at the start of the day while i was putting signs saying press made signs of going to the front of the till they fired going to 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 secure about that there's been looting you know tell right now i'm in the libyan media stories office which is. basically you need permission to be near by i took the liberty to come in here to show you can looting so you can see the projector up there was taken and you can see the lighters they quit. it bring going through the rooms of people even the looters young men i don't think they were dangerous at all but two young men who just come to. going to all the rooms and started collecting things you can see they broke the doors a lot of doors and again you can see. the ladders to steal the projectors computers. this is. 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'll be more fighting it's been very quiet here i've been shot at that point. i cannot say for now what would happen but. hopefully there will be peace and no bloodshed but nato has. done all that if you are bombings here absolutely and the leaders of you know states have to be held accountable as worker gets a chance of elites you know and if 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 are really showing their own populations in roping that we would be safe if we take you know by an international contingent from the united nations not from nato the british are talking about evacuating this place only for five nationals. only for five years not the rest

of us. talked to earlier as the mainstream media talks of people waving revolutionary flags all over tripoli some independent reports suggest the may be regaining control journalist lazy 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 up there libyan government and army was to permit the 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 hiding inside this strategy was part of bringing them out of the. direct confrontation so that they could be dealt with quite swiftly and also we have had that the tribes the large tribes that

wash up by no one. and the tribes came in from came from the areas to tripoli that joined the battle we have also heard that gadhafi was. with the 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. and 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 i.e. the rebels the white house has hailed what a cold a tipping point for the regime of colonel gadhafi but it needs a positive sentiments perils have already been drawn to gyptian celebrations on top rear square and the disillusionment that later followed i just got at chicago 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 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 libyans 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 for us part of nato and as we know at this point nato has done the heavy were the means by which nato has been accomplishing the goal of ousting khadafi 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 when you look at the footage coming from believe it very much reminds of. 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 who are afraid that their voices could be ignored by the international community now. reporting there from washington california based political scientist dr michael brand he says protecting civilians was just a pretext for nato to step into libya topple gadhafi and resurrect the country's economy. expect the same thing as you saw it happen in yugoslavia and in eastern europe there will be

a mansion that you say should take place in public economy that could down the government built over forty years which included public subsidies for in education health care will be privatized the oil the oil fields will be handed over to private companies for private profit death squads will come in and clean up. those who might still have a commitment to a social wage or communal way. and this is what we have to look forward to and that was the real intention it was to overthrow 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 officially 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 libyan leader ideas

daniel bushels 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 as part of the outcome of the rebel victory is no longer in belt but the french leader added he fully supports the rebels he called this a decisive moment and 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 frauds will now use military force in the capital putting civilian lives at risk and that it will use the international criminal court's indictment of gadhafi as a justification. ten a bushel reporting there now with speculation rising on what's ahead for libya if rebels when we are interested in your opinion on the matter like you can express it at our dot com so far most of our viewers think leave you know 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 bad deal 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 well you can also let us know what you think about logging on to our website. and it will be following the dramatic events of course on air and online the day for you so stay with us for that if you can. now was british courts busy dealing was a 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 and it's not for the first time about 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 and if they're sent to leeds prison they'll be languishing alongside eighty five year old norman scarred 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 caesar in covering the corruption that the judiciary you see them frown upon a scarth 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 all the e.u. countries scarth 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 judge was trying to shut him up we having theory in this country something called freedom of expression not his 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 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 there to pull him nobody up the porters the for his case to the boil court of

justice but they don't feel justice is being served to heaven meanwhile claim to being denied essential medication in prison. according to reports conditions in leeds prison. 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 still going on every day every call. 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's r.t. london now as the u.k. government is determined harsh justice will help mandates broken society author owen jones says it's the lead which sets the bad example to those committing crimes is full interview is coming up in about fifteen minutes time here on our team. were

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 flight to the suburbs which takes the tax base away from the city and there's more and more of bad 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 a vibrant city are impossible to escape roughly sixty thousand vacant buildings and

that his view regarding the undeclared drone warfare in pakistan and the much touted county insurgency in afghanistan undermine the whole of government approach to these both countries the best way to minimize necessary 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 they anti-american feelings well beyond their region and are perceived and exploited as the main recruiting tool for the terrorist and other transnational organizations say against the united states strategic interests and against its allies and friends well beyond that back region well we're up to date now and let's see what's happening in the world of business joins us 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 off to last week's panic buying investors are waiting for clues from the federal reserve as it prepares to announce fall the quantity easing measures. there will be some kind of stimulus measures coming along because clearly or they can't really use interest rates anymore but it's a bit at the level there and it will be probably taken posted by the market but focus the search will still be in europe so that's going to be key after that that i was comes i think the problem for the third of. the fact that they've now fixed the interest rates at zero twenty five until 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 such a low interest rate in six months or even to a month's time i think that looked at me over 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 about economic growth are also putting pressure on courage to plant is that over one hundred six dollars per barrel while the w. is hovering at eighty two dollars per barrel. pages shares are in the red strong the yen is weighing on exporters in tokyo toyota 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 in because in our next portion. in wiles' steam that take

some from 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 degree to which it's taken so what is important to note for investors median sure in a long term is dead there are several good stocks across the globe where you can buy and buy them 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 be recapitalized to some extent some of the u.s. banks also going through the same exercise so would you have is to balance the good value in stocks with the lack of liquidity and it's just i think what you need to do is just to average yourselves in don't commit fully here don't get to do swear words either but you know by five percent of the cast voted for you this month five percent next month and average yourself into a good position in my opinion that's the way to play it and finally it produces

will see hard times in russia as the government is planning to tighten its cigarette policy even more than initially planned while 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 the smoke is on to the proposal smoking will be banned in public places including restaurants nightclubs hotels and apples among other measures tobacco outs on t.v. would be stopped while the sale of cigarettes would be restricted to largest stores only. to say around forty percent of current sales come from kiosks little is expected to be approved by the end of the. that wraps up the business bulletin join the less than one last time for more business stories here on r.t. .
