the splendid hotel in touch with the hotel in touch your book the future a guru goes how would international homeless flood to achieve every green lol he told it totally. breaking news story here on our t.v. unravels reportedly seize control of most of the capital following a major nato backed advance that accords warning to the government saw thirteen hundred people killed but some sources on the ground have told r.t. it's too early to say tripoli spawn and there are still confusing as to who's controlling the city. yes you. could ask journalists in tripoli fear for their lives would 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 war and all the disillusionment

that will likely follow. as in other news a short ceasefire between israel and hamas comes to an end once again as militants launch more than a dozen rockets from gaza forcing the jewish state to retaliate and. it is one pm in the russian capital you're watching r t with myriad joshie will begin with breaking news government tanks are shelling parts of central tripoli despite rebels claiming they are in control of most of the libyan capital meanwhile state t.v. is still a ring frockcoat often programs at the fighting has been reported near the libyan leader's residence earlier three of his sons were said to have been arrested following a night of chaos in the capital crowds were seen in the city's central square with

people waving revolutionary flags dr franklin lamb director of americans for middle east peace who was shot by sniper on sunday says gadhafi may be preparing a massive counter-attack. i borrowed a bicycle some thirty here and i rode around for ninety minutes to green square checking out the streets of tripoli which were quiet as they are on the right now and coming back by. the by one shot and i right. i don't know if you can see the of this is it congress this is the bullet. a dot apparently a sniper abandoned marriott hotel we're shooting and i didn't notice that i got get but i'm fine i observed a convoy of twenty two military vehicles from the government they're all good fighters and they came by our hotel and then counsel who were going to go right by

the bible box tell by the see here near the marriott there's a countdown called i sours five buildings there they set up. checkpoints and they're obviously digging in what i what some people are suspecting here and it's just speculation but i'm getting this feeling myself inside as in other places the government here is you luring the rebels in. to have their fun the ads against square and then very well may the congress soften . journalist not enough to riot as the hotel in tripoli where the foreign press as been obliged to stay during the conflict has been looted. i fired at the start of the day when i was putting signs saying press signs of could have been funny though if i can only tell they have snipers. we all feel threatened it's less now than

before but if the rebels cared here a lot of us are. very insecure about that there's been looting in the hotel right now i mean in the being in media thing where he's office which is. basically you need permission to be in or. i took the liberty to come in your show you've been looting you can see the projector up there was taking and you can see the ladders 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 the young men who just come in. got into all the rooms it started collecting things you could see he broke the doors locked doors and again you can see. the ladders the steel the projectors 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 they've been shot at the hotel right. i cannot say for now what would happen but. hopefully to be peace and no bloodshed that nato is. nails down all that you or i mean here. in the leaders you know states have to be held accountable as worker gets killed civilians in their hoping that we would be safely taken out by an international contingent from the united nations not from nato that british are talking about evacuating this place where only five nationals. only for five years not the rest of us. talking to me earlier and the white house has hailed what it called a tipping point for the regime of colonel gadhafi but images that positive sentiments parallels have already been drawn to gyptian celebrations on tom ridge square and the disillusionment that later followed art is going to count reports from

washington d.c. . and president obama spoke earlier this sunday night saying tripoli is slipping from the grasp of a thai randall so 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 see 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 the florists part of nato and as we know what this going to nato has done the heavy work the means by which nato is going accomplishing the goal of ousting khadafi have seen many violations of the u.n.

resolution from six months ago that authorized the military intervention fully in light of all those violations it was very unlikely that you want a security council would have adopted yet another resolution on libya 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 deledio 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 in many levy and who are afraid that their voices could be ignored by the international community now she countered working there either you contraries are again calling on gadhafi to officially step down in the face of the rebel storming of tripoli for more on that let's now cross. joins us from london ira what is the reaction in the u.k.

to the events unfolding in libya now. well it seems like the prime minister just can't get a holiday right now he's cutting short his vacation once again to deal with what's going on in libya he did the same a couple of weeks ago to come home and sort out the riots here in london but he has welcomed the news that the rebels the national transitional council have entered freeplay and taken large parts of the capital so what's happening here in london is that he the prime minister is chairing a meeting of the national. security council on b.p. and the question every time is what happens next. for the preparing really now. raising all the thing they want to maintain there is the u.n. resolution to protect civilians they want to ensure that there's enough provision of food water and power there no revenge attacks to basically ensure there is a smooth transition. all this is what's happening in the u.k. but what about the other e.u. states has the same rhetoric been heard from down. absolutely all around

the leaders a lot in what's going on in libya right now angela merkel and nicolas sarkozy have all come forward and said this is a good thing that they're calling for good api to leave right now and they're behaving this is the beginning of the end of his forty two year stranglehold on libya where the e.u. even has said that it's already planning for a post good zappy libya but the real question is what happens next they say and how do they another iran there are still pockets of resistance inside tripoli according to the rebels spokes person. because you still control fifteen to twenty percent all the city and now this question of how do they avoid another iraq back makes up the subject matter for me played a bit of prime minister's speech today at the british council he's expected to say that britain will stay the course to make sure that libyans are in control of their

own fates and really want britain are making trying to make sure they would love the right if you have basically been fresh there they have pumped. twenty four billion pounds of goods and services into the region and so they're trying to avoid what happened in iraq. but only time will tell. absolutely i rabbanit thanks very much indeed for bringing us the subject from london investigative journalist and author of michel to launch as the e.u. is concerned for levy is huge or has little to do with the interests of the libyans themselves. the key question is indeed boy it is well known it is a wall for all vets these so-called position government has promised to give the old from. great britain the united states i to lead this government does not exist it's to protect her girlfriends of course it's a it's always

a part for you have many disagreements inside the. they are indeed crisis he considered himself the cup of the world. to us live yes sorry afghanistan media who will be going to attack the key question is when will the public opinion week finally and see we don't need these kind of aggressions the killings we don't need plundering of the results is we need a solution to the economic and social problems of europe playing and i thought states. well let's speculation arising on what i have really been rebels when we are interested in your opinion on the matter well you can do that and tell us what you think of the issue at our t.v. dot com so far our most of the viewers think leave you will turn into another oil rich conny for. members twenty one percent and they don't believe anything will

change at all just under that media will split as an internal struggle for power will start and the remainder of it you are say the country will turn into a democratic state or you can let us know what you think on this issue by looking at your website forty doc ock hole will be following the dramatic advance in media on air and online throughout the day so stay with us for that if you can it will be up to. right now though let's take a look at other news militants in gaza are continuing to fire rockets at israel tel aviv claims up to fourteen were long. overnight forcing it to retaliate with an air strike on sunday hamas said it had agreed to a cease fire with israel at least costly year is in tel aviv and she joins us live oh what's happening on the ground now and is the shelling still continuing.

well the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu come to an emergency cabinet meeting this morning three o'clock local time it followed with a statement in which is all said it would not retaliate harshly to gaza it also said that it would not a military operation there now that followed an egypt brokered cease fire that went into effect last night but to live it does came there since that cease fire started some fourteen rockets have been fired at southern israel the last landed at seven o'clock this morning local time and there are no reports of injuries one of the reasons being given as to why israel is not interested now in a war with gaza despite earlier reports that the political leadership was talking about reacting and reacting harshly to the cross border raid on thursday that started as late as wave of violence is that each is that israel needs all the frames it can get ahead of the palestinian declaration of statehood next they could come forward at the united nations next month the relationship between cairo and tel aviv is at an all time low after three different border guards were

accidentally killed by israeli fire now israel has apologized for this but cairo was considering we calling it ambassador and israelis saying that they are concerned that they've harmed relations with egypt when it needs the diplomatic support it can get ahead of that september vote now at the same time there have been some one hundred palestinians who have been arrested in the race thanks to you of hebron it's all carried out yesterday sunday the largest land ground offensive that it has since two thousand and three there were some one hundred israeli military vehicles that went in and we understand that there was a race to our associates or presumed associates of her masts. the last of us to clear it cease fire last night so why are these attacks still happening. well i am not to say that it has agreed to the conditions of the cease fire only because it insists that is all there is to agree to then too from the beginning the

hamas leadership has insisted that it was not responsible for that very raid that israel saying that it believes and in fact that there that had some kind of evidence is that the rate at the militants came from gaza themselves it is important to remember that god there isn't a state of lawlessness and hamas has no control over all the palestinian groups operating there having said that though the hamas leadership has gone underground we understand that they still in hiding for fear that israel will carry out some kind of targeted attacks now the mid east quartet that comprises the u.n. the e.u. russia and the united states has issued a statement in which it condemns the israeli airstrikes and also condemns that initial attack on thursday in fact in a statement they said they have a court that those they attack cowardly terror attacks that have been planned in advance now the russian foreign ministry has also said that it is very concerned about this latest wave of violence it has urged both sides meaning is war and gaza

to show restraint and to adhere to the cease fire we're told just as we speak we're hearing the latest from reuters israel and hamas agreed to gaza truce which is under way of course we'll be hearing more on this rather the day but in the meantime thanks very much for updating us on what's happening there policy you're talking to us from tel aviv. well the escalation of violence comes amid the ongoing social unrest in israel and the country's been gripped by a massive protest for over a month now with people demanding prime minister netanyahu steps down our correspondent paula sleazier is keeping across the developments for us the air as well and she's posting her comments on our twitter page that sent our t. underscore com well one of her latest posts there says the protesters are planning a million strong march in two weeks time she spoke to some protesters who fear the

israeli government could launch a new war to distract attention from the social problems so you can keep up to date with the situation in israel on our twitter page or underscore com. now with british courts busy dealing with right 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 the first time among those now spending time with the looters behind bars as a war veteran this crime was recording hearing such as laura ammon 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 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 season covering the corruption that the judiciary see them 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 e.u. countries scarth attends demonstrations where he shouts about corruption in the police and judiciary saying lawyers police and 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 have in theory in this country something called freedom of expression much as it is 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 get an elderly gentleman he may not always be right but he has a right to. luckily for scott he has friends with knowledge of the law and they're acting for him normally the portico for his case here to the boil court of justice but they don't feel justice if being served to heaven meanwhile claims he's being denied it then chill 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 spirit to do it all every day before this law is.

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 a country he fought for is now the one he's fighting against your and it london now is the u.k. government is determined harsh justice will help man has broken society author owen jones says it's the lead which sets the bad example for those committing crimes is full interview is coming up next hour. racing fans and cities on the planet in a way the country is just not one of the little you called for to family with police in huge social problems that aren't being addressed and we have these problems at a time when people at the top richer than ever so yes we have the punkers reported this is an economic crisis where politicians stole from the taxpayer recently have a new international scandal where police were being bribed by journalists what happened is more difficult really that all of our example being set out to talk.

returning to our top story now government tanks are shelling parts of central tripoli despite rebels claiming they are in control of most of the leading capital meanwhile state t.v. is still a uring brokered r.t. programs although review unravels claim they have almost total control of the capital earlier to have gadhafi sons were arrested including so you've got his mom who is closest ally and a colleague and i have chaos in the capital crowds were seen in the city's central square with people waving revolutionary flags. a look at some other. world news in brief here in our team syria's president has once again sad his regime is not in danger of collapse and the government is able to deal with the current unrest in a country 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 on. 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 they say they accidentally strayed into iran iranian authorities claim they were working for american and intelligence agencies. the brings us up to date here in our t.v. business news is next. hello and welcome to the program global indices of trying to catch your breath after last week's panic buying investors are waiting for clues from the federal reserve and also father quantitative easing measures. there will be some kind of stimulus measures coming along because clearly one day can't really use interest rates anymore but it's

a bit at the level there and it will be probably taken positive by the market but focus is always to do in europe so that's going to be key after that but i wasn't pounds i think the problem for for the third of. the fact that they've now fixed the interest rates at super twenty five 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 your syrup you know such a low interest rate in six months or even four months time i think i'm not going to be of something that could become quite a problem programmatic issue. hundred check up on the numbers brand current has dropped more than two dollars on monday to trade at one hundred six dollars a barrel slump is due to the potential of resumption of exports from opec members read here as a six month civil war there appear to close be close to an end w.t. eyes hovering at eighty two dollars a barrel. and a quick look at the precious metals gold has jumped one point nine percent to one thousand eight hundred eighty seven after touching an all time peak at one thousand

investment great well that's because of its shareholders and it's a lame posting last used by natural dissolves. meanwhile steve jacobson from saxo bank believes that cried oh tell it to is a good chance to cash in. if you look at value investing from bottom of investment obviously this is very very good science but you have to remember that investment is always based on the liquidity in which it's taken so what is important to note now for investors median sure in a long term is dead there are several good stocks across the globe where you can now 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 recapitalize to some extent some of the u.s. banks also going through the same exercise so would you have is 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 and don't commit fully here don't get to just words either but you know by five percent the cast forth or you this month five percent nation on an average yourself into a good position i think in my opinion that's the right play. russia is planning new sweeping and just smoking laws which will seriously dents the profits of tobacco companies in the country the government is planning to usually increase that by which will see the price of a packet of twenty quadruple to about two dollars well it's also going to bring legislation to ban smoking in public places such as that straws and night cards hotels and airports t.v. advertising will also be banned and the sale of cigarettes restricted to larger scales only currently parts hot of russian men and one in six women smoke the new laws are being introduced to try and purse the help of the russian population which has one of the low slice of spector says in the industrialized world. and
