is still airing pro khadafi programs rumors are circulating that caffeine may be in talks with south africa about a possible escape despite denials from both sides following a night of chaos in the capital crowds were seen in the city's central square with people waiting revolutionary flags dr franklin lamb the director for of americans for middle east peace who was wounded by a sniper on sunday says could afy may be preparing a massive counter-attack. i bought a bicycle around seven thirty here and i rode around for ninety minutes to green square checking out the streets of tripoli which were quiet as they are incidentally right now and coming back i just knew by what by that phone call were shot in my right eye. i don't think any of the culprits this is the fall of. a doctor or a paranoid sniper abandon the area we're shooting and i didn't notice that i got

get but i'm biased i observed a convoy of county two military experts from the government they're all good fighters and that came by our hotel and then just pulled into the right by the bible ma hotel by does she know the merry art there's a countdown five hours of buying gold in their new south wales. checkpoint and there are obviously digging in what i and what some people are suspecting here and it's just speculation but i'm getting this feeling i felt that as in other places. the government here has luring the rebels in allowing them to have their fun and i mean square and then very well maybe congress hostage. meantime a journalist on monday and i'm a girl i said to the hotel in tripoli where the foreign press has been obliged to

stay during the conflict has been blocked. the guy got fired and started a day when i was putting signs saying press signs of put him in front of go tell a fire you can only tell they have snipers. we all feel threatened it's less now than before but if the rebels get here we are a lot of us are here feel very insecure about that there's been looting in a hotel right now i'm in the being in media stories office which is. basically you need permission to be in here. i took the liberty to come in here to show you the looting so you can see the projector a pair was taken and you can see the lighters and equip. they have 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 and. got into all the rooms it started collecting things you could see it broke the doors were locked doors and

again you can see. a lot of steel projectors computers. this is happening in various offices here the next few hours for us you are going to be critical. in regards to tripoli i don't think that fighting is and i think it would be more fighting it's been very clear that i did shot at the hotel but. i can't i cannot say for now what happened but. hopefully there will be peace and will blood check that nato is. done all that you are going to hear absolutely nato and the leaders and you know states have to be held accountable as work it's a tool surveillance in the hoping that we would be safe be taken out 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 but

they're not the rest of us. in washington d.c. the white house has what it called a tipping point for the regime of colonel gadhafi but amid the positive sentiments parallels are being drawn through gyptian celebrations on sort of square the disillusionment that little followed. 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 the nato secretary general has made a statement of similar in fact saying they could offer a regime is crumbling and they're 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 the story as 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 fully in light of all those violations it was very unlikely that the u.n. security council would have adopted yet another resolution on the levy a constant temperature 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 you 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 levy unst who are afraid that their voices could be ignored by the international community now. he's going to travel with him right

there will for some reaction from russia when i joined a life i caught up in cause of the chairman of the committee for foreign affairs in the state duma good to see you today so heavy fighting over there in tripoli how would you assess the events of this point. well i believe the lead has no reach the winter of no return and that mr gadhafi has no chance to restore control over the territory of the country this is quite obvious for me liz he tries to use weapons of mass destruction and hopefully he will never try to do that but for me this is not the end of the story of this is just the beginning or the further developments in the next stage of this the world will be equally complicated for libya for the simple reason the national community systems community is not united be consist of different tribes ethnic groups political

forces reach will start fighting each other i'm afraid because it was mr gadhafi resigns both in any case the most important thing right now is to convince mr qaddafi to resign not to use military force because any further human casualties . will never change this development this situation it's interesting how you were forecast a gloomy future saying that it's a mixed bag when it comes to the members of the national resistance committee but we've been hearing from people on the ground this morning they're saying nate so bombed at the path clear into tripoli what started as a humanitarian mission some into what could be described by some as a full scale war so what has nato as role truly been in all of this well if i believe the the actions of. have exceeded the framework of the u.n. resolution and seventy three this is number one. and secondly i would be happy to

be wrong but i believe that when the new authorities come into power in libya the parts which know. are losers will start questioning is the legacy of the new story this with the simple reason they want their leave korea with the assistance and military help from abroad from nato so the future government of libya will be questions as well for the reason they have. had to have they have received support from the two countries and this is not good for a leader of this is not good for its people. so the future could beat him there with his new war thora he is perhaps clashing with each other but let's talk about the new orthorexic what about these rebels or does nato actually know who they are or who it seems will shortly be running the country. i believe nobody knows that

for sure and neither native country snore and we here in russia or anybody else for the simple reason there are no obvious leaders for this national resistance committee of they have see all four. prominent people faces of this committee on t.v. screens and so on and so forth about whether they're really influential whether they can control the people of libya this is an unanswered question and just the further development practical real development will who saw who is who or what is what in libya i believe that we have to face many unexpected developments right now or as most people know where libya has the richest oil reserves in africa . western powers released hundreds of millions of dollars to get their fees money to the rebels do you think this was a way of securing energy interests some of the latest information we have here r.t. is that we just heard that china is bad. very interested in rebuilding libya's

infrastructure yet another country seemingly keen to get a slice of the mineral wealth do you think. it will assure the economic commercial interests in the first and interests abroad of the energy resources of libya have been the crucial element of determining the position the approaches of. the so-called west countries to nato countries and know the future government of libya heading. heads of these foreign supports. be very very grateful and. very helpful to these characters these group of nato countries for them to to to receive the future contours of for the rebuilding of the economy of libya whether china nor russia not so see if we can nor any other country which have not been

involved in these humanitarian so-called humanitarian operations they have no chances to go to to to have the same equal. treatment of the countless we each have helped the opposition in my may remember if i may just jump in for a moment forgive me for interrupting please we're just getting reports here from a rebel official that a large number of rebels have been killed in the fighting in tripoli is a possible that our forces loyal to gadhafi are now making a massive counterattack to the libyan capital do you think that's going to be the next stage will everything is possible unfortunately and mr khadafi is completely unpredictable sometimes he is very much on logical in his actions so everything is possible unfortunately and for the international community now it is very important to be united in a setting pressure on mr gadhafi may be the why did you know reproach towards the.

a national resistance committee but we have to be united you know reproached those qaddafi and mr gadhafi has to reserves but i've had a question for you sir as we are running low on time here on r t will russia ultimately recognize the libyan national transitional council or do you think. if there will be the outcome of the pleasures of today i see no difficulties for russia to recognize these kmita but not the floor. of their fear resigns because of the final outcome has to be the decision in the choice of the libyan people and nobody nobody else we have no no possibility to interfere in the internal affairs in libya i called it in cause a copy of the chairman of the committee for foreign affairs in the state to thank you thank you very much. well i mean time e.u. countries are again calling on gadhafi to officially step down in the face of the rebel storming of tripoli addie's either ben is in london and brings us more on the

european reaction to events now unfolding in libya. 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 and did the same a couple of weeks ago and sort out the rights here in london but he has welcomed the news that the rebels the national transitional council have entered tripoli 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 only here and the question everything is what happens next. to the preparing really now for gadhafi regime to halt all around e.u. leaders who are doing what's going on in libya right now angle a merkel and nicolas sarkozy have all come forward and said this is a good thing they're calling for good api to leave right now and they're hailing this is the beginning of the end of his forty two year stranglehold on libya there

a you even has said that it's already planning for a postcard that the libya but the real question is what happens next they say and how do they avoid another iraq there are still pockets of resistance inside tripoli according to the rebels folks first and. that he or she still controlled fifteen to twenty percent of the city and now this question of how do they avoid another iraq that makes them something that the plate that runs this week today the british council he's expected to say that britain he'll stay the course to make sure that libyans are in control of their own fate. right there well as the fight for tripoli continues experts are already expecting on who will get control of libya's vast oil reserves. the key question is indeed oil it is well known that it is a wall for all that these so-called position the government has promised to give the

old two from. great britain and the united states actually this government does not exist it's to put governments of course it's about it's always about oil you have many disagreements inside the alarms the airlines the crisis he considered himself as a prop of the world and asked. to use lobbyist story of danny stanley who are the 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 print ring of the resources we need a solution to the economy can social problems of europe in united states. with speculation rising on what's ahead for libya if the rebels when we are interested in your opinion on the matter how to say our teeth got common let's bring up the

numbers right here on your screen so far most think libya will turn into another oil rich colony for nato members twenty one percent i don't believe anything at all will change just under that field of you will split as an internal struggle for power will start and the remainder of the country will turn into a democratic state and make sure you have your state and start on it r.t. dot com we welcome europe. all right and we'll be following both america brands and be on air and online throughout the day for you so do stay with us here on our team . all right let's get to some other news now here on israel hamas and gaza have agreed to a truce that's after sunday's attempt to work and the fighting resulted in more rockets i'd asked right. life inside of you by joining us she will give us details of the latest relevance paula good to see you we've seen up almost five days of violence to we really expect this latest cease fire to hold off the years of ultimately back and forth remember. well the latest news i

was eating is that the p.r.c. the popular resistance committees has agreed to be party to this egyptian brokered truce between israel and hamas now the p.l.c. is significant because one it is a relatively small it's how this three month if there is well hold responsible for their initial cross border raid on thursday that killed eight israeli citizens and that's why this latest wave of violence what we are hearing from the p.r.c. itself is bad until now it has and it has not said that it carried out that great until now it has not been prepared to be party to this now thing that it will be but they still remains a lot of confusion over this cease fire it was signed last night and was in fact agreed to last night since been some fourteen rockets have been fired into israel we're hearing contradictory statements coming from the israeli prime minister's office on the one hand it says it never has and it never will sign a cease fire with hamas is one of course regarding home as

a terrorist organization but on the other hand we here in the prime minister's office here in israel say that they will it's here to cease fire and that if israel is shot dead it will respond accordingly now the problem that hamas has faced from the beginning is that it does not have control over palestinian factions operating in the gaza strip there is almost a sense of enormousness there that we're now hearing from the palestinian official that have asked will be able to enforce this cease fire with smaller militant groups whether or not the see signs that will hold the main to be seen there is a lot of anticipation on both sides. probably that it will knock both sides believing that if it is in the interest of another to launch an attack they will do so just yesterday sunday is on a race to one hundred palestinians in the west bank city of hebron now this was the largest israeli ground offensive in that city since two thousand and three and what we understand is that these kind of students who were arrested are believed to have some kind of connection with them not so certainly both sides of all this conflict

the tension to continue start up or let's look at this one of the major issues that is looming on the horizon here you vote on palestinian statehood it's coming up with the u.n. security council some books how does up how does that affect the situation. well if you speak to israelis here really what many israelis will tell you is that it isn't israel's interest at least now under the leadership of israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu to launch some kind of attack on gaza he's the right person to do it people here saying that israel has been preparing for such an attack for quite some time and of course there have been social protests at home criticizing the netanyahu government that would make it almost queasy and for him to detract attention away from them as far as the september vote goes the israeli foreign minister avigdor lieberman a short time ago said that the latest wave of violence was to quote him just proves that palestinians are more interested in violence than in peace now this was something that the palestinians jumped on him referred to as madness warning israel

not to use this latest violence as a reason to encourage people not to the full cry just an indication of statehood what we see now is a turnaround in what is coming out of the israeli leadership they've held an emergency cabinet meeting this morning and following that meeting they said they would not be launching an attack on gaza just yesterday that was maybe problem aintree parliamentarian saying that is one needs to respond and respond cautiously to this latest violence and the anticipation and the analysis being put forward is that israel needs the support of egypt it doesn't need a diplomatic crisis with one of its closest ally. in the region there with some border guards that were killed in this of violence is all did apologize for those that were killed by israeli fire mistakenly and it is one of one time was egypt was at one time considering we calling it and that's it isn't right for that kind of potential diplomatic role israel might not be backing down from trying to create any kind of complex in gaza because it needs egypt to support comes to claim that

it is also worth noting though that the mid east quartet that comprises the u.n. the u.s. and russia has issued a statement in which it condemns this violence to quote the next statement it also caused and probably the terror attack planned in advance or through into what we saw on thursday and the russian foreign ministry has said that it is deeply concerned about the violence it has urged both sides to show the strains and here to the ceasefire and indeed paula i think it's safe to assume the inside world we are watching for the u.n. vote in september on the issue of a college student so you've got these policy a lot and some of you think you. know you can always keep up to date on everything that's happening in israel on our twitter page or rather of course is the twitter underscore call up all of our comments therefore you have looking right now up she's been keeping an eye on the social unrest that's been gripping israel for more than a month now one of the latest posts we can see right here says the protesters are planning a million strong march in two weeks time they've been

a demanding social justice and the prime minister stepped down with the situation in israel and all its heat and discord. right now it's time for a world update here when i see syria's president has once again said his regime is not in danger of collapse of the government is able to deal with the current rest of the country the statements were made in an interview broadcast on state television human rights groups say more than two thousand people have been killed in the government's crackdown on protesters since march for the. force and has said it. 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 but i love 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 iraq north korea has claimed they were working for america intelligence agency you. know it's ok to have

you with us here on our to you know a recap of our breaking news story rebel officials say a large number of their fighters have been killed in tripoli government times are shelling parts of the capital despite rebels claiming there are in control of most of the city one of kidneys sons is reportedly leading forces towards st george's police meanwhile state television is still airing. programs earlier three of these other sons were arrested including saif al islam who is his closest ally and aide following a night of chaos in the capital crowds were seen in the city's central square with people waving a revolutionary fight. ok you are up to date on the news or an r.t. we're time out of the business and that means us here. thanks roy that's right time to delve into the world of business and globally this is a trying to catch your breath after last week's panic buying and that's desire waiting

for clues from the federal reserve as it prepares to announce further courted easing measures. there will be some kind of stimulus measures coming along because clearly want they can't really use interest rates anymore do but at the level that . it will be probably taken positive by the market but focus is sort of always to be on europe so that's going to be key after that but i wasn't counts i think the problem for for the third of the but. the fact that the fixed the interest rates at super twenty five who do part of the game 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 twelve months time i think and looked at me for something that could become quite a problem problematic issue. let's take a look at the numbers branch curtis dropping under two dollars to trade at one hundred and six dollars a barrel the slump is due to the potential for resumption of exports from opec
