a night of chaos in the capital crowds were seen in the city's central square with people waving. revolutionary flags and i listen to a journalist. who's in a hotel in tripoli but foreign journalists have been obliged to say. thank you for joining us today and just bring us if you would up to the minute what is the situation in the hotel where you are now. situation years trained security and so on and. armed men volunteers libyans have entered the building young men one of them is hurt they don't want to be take so i can't go we always intake and. ask for help to be bandaged up we i implore the international community not to let the transitional council answer this so if you're to complain or pursue the soldiers in here at all sometimes i want to talk to you saying that there are rebel fighters that are seeking refuge and medical assistance in your hotel. there are there are.

loyal lists the young men some looks like soldiers some are don't have uniforms is very common tears are still just coming here one in seeking you got shot in the leg saying the fight is still strong in tripoli we heard gunfighting several hours ago are fighting outside getting closer we don't want them to storm in there would be catastrophic and these are not disciplined as everybody knows they're not disciplined forces and. we have a wider people here from all over the world from the united states peoples republic of china france and myself from canada. and we really need this could be very very bad situation we also have a u.s. congressman you're with us as well and he's going to be on a priority flight and while the rest from what i hear you might get

a priority flight out of here back to ration. four or five other people while the rest of us have to wait. i can community international community really needs to. pull in effort to get us out of here to the united nations and it has to be something to do outside of needles all right now we see. you say there are a couple at least a lot us that are seeking some sort of medical assistance in your hotel but you're saying you're hearing gunfire you have recent hours i guess happened during the night you know there was some looting q can you perhaps show us any of the office. well i don't know if that cd broke into all the rooms i could get used chairs ladders. projectors in the rooms the school computers and it went through the rooms and still frames. they didn't seem violent just.

to take what they could opportunists. he came in here in the movie did he mention what happened after he admitted these offices which one could. you know which are in the room to move you know foreign media is that some of the journalists who came in started going to the files that the. foreign media. can. that's for the present situation here. there's been some panic people becoming known on the range about how they forgive me for interrupting but you talk about your there the hotel with all the journalists that you were saying about to go there was a u.s. congressman there had to be a phone out on a priority flight what is the mood where you are do you feel safe. you know i personally. i don't want to seem to people.

there and i. have caused problems in chechnya or afghanistan to come so. i'm not. you know feeling safer the moment i thought about basic supplies food and water are you getting any of that oil are you taking any safety measure that we should be good we should be good for for a few days we i think in airlifts the best thing for us or an escort the international community has to put pressure on the transitional council to stop and transition there was a young man right now right senshi telling me not to you know it's for his safety and i perfectly understand. we need a way out. he was saying you were saying you thought you were saying a few hours ago that you did have some gunfire in the living capital there we're getting reports here of over a new kathy a loyalist assault on the libyan capital have you heard just random gunfire or perhaps if you heard any more nato bombing i would ask you do you know about what

could be happening now the libyan capital and. what could be a bunker buster which means there's still resistance you are decent meters not going to bomb the regime collapse scenario has gone which large a week waits to resistance. triple we. we spoke to the people and do so he said. he said. he said. here on the outskirts of the city. this has to be verified i'm telling you what i've heard ok we understand we understand. at a time of war it's very difficult to confirm the reports of whether it's gunfire or nato bombings or even as you were saying a possibility of of a moab a bust a bomb or the mother of all bombs of being being dropped there is that perhaps a safe room a few there at the hotel or a padded room with mattresses where you can seek protection. i don't think so i

don't think so we all have to stick together or in small groups no one goes in beginning we were in a large group of things a lot of any anger at school and it was a lot of us here. photo ops here but a lot of the media and. we are at their mercy that's the honest truth we don't have weapons we're sitting here we're just waiting where we can't take any action we're waiting sort governments in you to the international community has to take action to get us out if you're. all right journalist. from the center for research on globalization thank you very much. or it's well dr franklin lamb but director of americans for middle east peace who was wounded by a sniper on sunday says gadhafi may be preparing a massive counter-attack. i'm proud of bicycle. earlier

and i rode around for ninety minutes with green square checking out the streets of tripoli which were quiet as they are and then the right now. coming back by you know by what by the shot in my right eye. i don't know if you can see that this is because this is a lot. of dots apparently sniper abandoned mariya were shooting and i didn't notice that i got yet but i'm fine i observed a convoy of twenty two military folks from the government they're all good fighters and came by our hotel and they were going to go right by the bible tell by the city here near the marriott but there's a countdown powers of five going to their new south wales. checkpoint and obviously digging in what some people are suspecting here and it's

just speculation but i'm getting this feeling myself that as in other places. the government here is literally rubble then allowing them to have their fun and green square and then very well made the congress pass. and the e.u. countries are again calling on could ask me to officially step down in the face of the rebel storming of tripoli the latest from the british prime minister david cameron who was also said that nato will continue its action in libya quote for as long as it's needed that's more of this that's another floodwaters i've been in london i have a bring us up to date here what is the reaction of the british government to the events unfolding in libya now. well the prime minister just made a statement to the press so heralding this as the end of this forty two year regime he says is toppling around and once again you are new calls for gadhafi to go he did address the big question which is what happens next then after all of this

after gadhafi supposedly steps down and he said that the need is for a smooth transition to a democratic leadership he said that this will be in the hands of the national transitional council that the recognized leadership of libya by britain and he said so that needs to happen so that the future of the libyan people is in their own hands but at the same time as all of that he did say that nato forces will remain in the country to try and make sure that happens for as long as it takes and that's quite an open ended answer to that question fairly ambiguous clearly is not short of that this will be a very rapid transfer they're prepared for it to take longer because it is of course a lot easier said than done knowledge the need to put in really firm infrastructure things like a water supply power food to make sure all of these things can speed up this new transition so the people of libya have their own fate in their hands read it did

also say that britain will soon be releasing the frozen assets of libya to so they can be again in the hands of the libyan people however we don't know who that's exactly going to be going to or how it's going to be used and on the issue of himself. slight change of stance here once again from britain they said his future will be in the hands of the national transitional council so is he washing his hands of the she will to begin with did say a few months ago when or when the coalition started their campaign in libya that they would get after you will be tried fairly by the national transitional. council then they changed hands on that saying that he will be allowed to leave an exit exam if he steps down and a change of time once more you know certainly seeing some mixed reactions and statements coming out from the coalition it coalition here interesting that what

you say about the comments out of ten downing street prime minister cameron saying that the coalition campaign is an open ended campaign of course what started months ago as a un humanitarian mission has the same rhetoric been heard from other e.u. states that you know of. yes a lot of rhetoric coming from europe echoing out of cameron's angle and merkel and president sarkozy of france both call for kidnapping to step down and heralding this is the end of. the e.u. has also said they're already putting in place their planning so everyone recognizes this is the beginning of the end it seems and everyone's saying that they're prepared to launch this new transition. to the same time of course acknowledging the need to hold this u.n. resolution to. protect civilians lives because the big question here is that the big task they face and it's almost an unspoken one is how do they avoid another iraq and

a long drawn out handover residual insurgents revenge attacks that's exactly what they don't want nor does it try and beat that well nick clegg has already said that britain easy for the long haul in all of this is. different from iraq in that in libya they already have the foundations of a new democratic leadership a new government a national transitional council that britain france and germany all recognize as the legitimate leadership of the country so that already that foundation of government there however they do acknowledge that they need to try and stay in the country to deal with any residual insurgence fifteen to twenty percent of tripoli is still controlled by gadhafi forces according to the rebels and once this government in britain is different from the one of course that was in charge of saddam hussein iraq they will of course learn lessons from iraq and they do say they do not want to turn into another on however only time will tell. you how you

draw the draw the differences between iraq and libya there are some would say yes there are differences such as the contrasting government but they are still two very wealthy oil member states bennett like another thank you. well the white house has also held what it called a tipping point for the regime of colonel gadhafi but it would be positive sentiments perilous already being drawn to egyptian celebrations once were square solution to forward he's going to reports from washington and president obama spoke earlier this sunday night saying tripoli is slipping from the grasp of a thai randel 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 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 turkey lead or as part of nato and as we know at this point nato has done the heavy work the means by which nato is going to accomplishing the goal of thing could have seen many violations of the u.n. resolution from six months ago that authorized the military intervention building light of all those violations it was very unlikely that the u.s. security council would have adopted yet another resolution or lead you know 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. 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. meantime a closet in coach of the chairman of the state duma foreign affairs committee says even if the rebels do take power infighting is already on the horizon this is not the end of the story this is just the beginning of the further developments and the next stage of this there will mint will be equally complicated for libya for the simple reason the international community is this community is not united it consists of different tribes ethnic groups political forces reach will start fighting each other i'm afraid it is. mr gadhafi resigns but in any case the most important think right now is to convince mr khadafi to resign not to use

military force because any further human characters will never change this development the security. and as the fighting continues experts are already speculating 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 war for all that these so-called position government has promised to give the old two from. great britain and the united states actually this government does not exist its corporate governance and of course it's about all it's always about for you have many disagreements inside the alarms the airlines the eye and deep crisis he considered himself a top of the world and asked. after us sorry afghanistan libya for all the going to attack the key question is when will the public opinion wake

finally and say we don't need these kind of aggressions the killings we don't print ring of the results is we need a solution to the economic and social problems of europe in united states. when first speculation rising on what's ahead for libya if the rebels will know we are interested in your opinion on the matter you can have your say at artsy dot com but let's check out what some of you are thinking right now or so far most think that libya will turn into yet another oil rich colony for nato members twenty one percent don't believe anything will change at all just under that feel that libya will split as an internal struggle with part of the power and the remainder of the country will turn into a demo state i look on to what you got called by now is a crucial time to do so and make sure you have your say right so i will be following all the dramatic events and to be on air and online throughout the day for you so you can do that. and out of some other news now in our world

update here on r.t. israel and the militants in gaza have agreed to bring you a truce that's after sunday's attempt to end four days of fighting resulted in more rockets strikes assays reports from tel aviv. the popular resistance committees has agreed to be cause to this interruption broken truce between israel and hamas now the p.l.c. is significant because what it is a relatively small one hundred three months it is the group that is well hold responsible for their initial cross border raid on thursday that killed eight israeli citizens and that's what this latest wave of violence what we are hearing from the p.r.c. itself until now it has not been prepared to be party to this now saying that it will be but he still maintains a lot of confusion over this cease fire it was signed last night it was in fact agreed to last night since the fourteen rockets have been fired into israel 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 kind of palestinian official that hamas will be able to enforce this cease fire with smaller militant approves it israelis here really what many israelis will tell you is that it isn't israel's interest in peace now under the leadership of the 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 is what has been preparing for such an attack for quite some time and of course there has been social protests at home which was sizing then the time now for the government that would make it almost comes easier for him to crack attention away from them. so that was what is up for the syrians out of even of course you can keep up to date on everything that's happening in israel for our twitter page all on the school call by having a look right now is where paula is hosting so she's been keeping an eye on the social unrest that's been gripping israel for more than a month now i want to latest post says the protesters of putting

a million strong march in two weeks time everybody's social justice and the prime minister netanyahu steps to talk today with the situation in israel underscore. so i just got some other world news for you syria's president has. once again said his regime is not the danger of collapse and the government is able to deal with the current unrest in the 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. washington has said it is disappointed by iran's decision to sentence two american citizens to eight years in prison because they 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 and iran you know authorities claim they were

working for american intelligence agencies. and we have a break in your story here on r.t. for you rebel officials say that a large number of their fighters have been killed in tripoli government tanks are shelling parts of the capital despite rebels claiming they are in control of most of the city i want to gadhafi sons is reportedly leading forces towards central tripoli meanwhile state t.v. is still airing production programs earlier three of got out he's other sons were arrested including saif al islam who is his closest ally and they following a night of chaos in the capital crowds of seen instances central square with people waving revolutionary flags. and time now for the business with you. hello and a very warm welcome to the program the russian kresty continues to retrieve a heavy so loss last week insurgency apart the global economy and pushing investors

toward safe havens meanwhile country western from the rubble still has room for weakness. really the ruble is held hostage to what happens with the dollar and with all price and given that we feel it's going to get worse before it gets better i think we get a further weakening and that could be further sort of accelerated by the populations responding to the shift in their current their savings into hard currency at last that we go to continuation of capital flight but you know hopefully passing october we should have hopefully again called the situation and that might give some additional fuel for fuel for commodity prices and therefore because it. does take a look at the numbers branch purchase dropping one heart the dollars to traded one hundred seven dollars a barrel as long as two to the potential for resumption of exports from opec member states not civil war there it's close to an end w.t.f. is hovering at eighty three dollars per barrel and. precious metals gold is up more

than one percent that's after touching an all time peak at one thousand eight hundred ninety four as a flight to safe haven assets continue to rally somewhat is also up it's gaining one point four percent the south. negative opening the footsie has made a u. turn into black gaining one point nine percent the style of that says up point four percent on the gains of both came despite losses in asian markets. on wall street on friday. the russian indices up to solve my six is hard for a percent in the black and the r.t.s. is valid but. i want to check up on some of the. the vigil showed six most energy may just panels but from the losses before snuffed out around point four percent meanwhile neural snicko is continuing to lose ground after thinks cut its rating to below investment grade that's because of its shareholder disputes and

a delay in posting last year's financial results at palmetto is among the main gainers here it's up over four and a half percent supported by strong and go. i'm in more or less. sun from sex i believe the current volatility is a good chance to cash in well if you look at value investing 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 note for investors need to ensure in a long term is that 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. side of things will be increasingly under pressure you probably see the banks and you're having to recapitalize or 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 a 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 just words either but you know by five percent cash for the for you this month five percent next month and average yourself into a good position i think my opinion as to where. russia is planning new sweeping and to smoking laws which will seriously dent to the profits of tobacco companies in the country the government responding to hugely increased tobacco juice which will see the price of a packet of trouble to about two dollars well it's also going to bring in legislation to ban smoking in public places such as restrooms and night clubs hotels and airports t.v. advertising will also be banned from the sale of cigarettes restricted to larger stores currently thought hope of russian man and one in six women smoke in the laws are being introduced to try and improve the help of the russian population as one of the lowest life expectancy is in the industrialized world. russia's biggest

appliance retailer eldorado has been worked out by a chip private equity fund p.b.s. already owned the company and has bought the remaining stake from a squashing founder and this estimate the deal is worth about six hundred twenty five million dollars as of right it has over three hundred stores in ukraine and kazakhstan as well as in russia. another card russian company going abroad the russian company specializing in payment service is negotiating to put its street terminals in western europe and the united states well r.b.c. daily reports is in talks with mobile phone operators orange vodafone and telefónica terminals are common on russian streets much can be used for paying phone bills utilities internet and even two or packages. ok that's bring you up to date more stores and less and one last time.
