moment for all the latest. strike. arrives in russia to join north caucasus club. for a record breaking paycheck. international news or comment live from our headquarters in moscow where it's now just past eight pm and six pm in tripoli where libyan rebels say they have about three surrounded but in the port of the new audience message from the colonel he says he's still fighting on the front line whatever the truth italy is promising to transfer millions of dollars of frozen libyan assets over to rebel authorities let's get more now from r.t. sort of. conflicting messages then coming out of tripoli and we could we believe. it's very very hard to distinguish exactly what this information is what's.

it's a day a meeting take place between the italian government and the heads of the rebel council leader not me djibril and also that we have the prime minister berlusconi announcing that it is pledging to have released half a billion dollars a phrase in. the rebel council he's amounts of money and we've been hearing the conflict in the polls coming on the back of that the rebels have been able to vacate the we've heard an announcement from his spokesperson saying that even though. it's against rebels and we've also just recently that and other statements been released to get that speaking in libya that's been released and he still as he said calling on the rebels to fight still a very disorganized picture that we're getting and it really tools into play you could say with clips of the things saying today about whether it's really the right flank to be really. i think this might see the rebel council still extremely i'm

sure exactly who the rebels are that he's going to lead them whether they're all good night enough now to take libya fullest and to be able to manage the country not to tell us more about doing. it here in italy is reportedly worked for peace of course it's not met you be following this story very closely and we've been hearing some people calling this a wall of distance a nation he do we trust. very difficult to answer this question it is true that the situation is very unstable volatile and unpredictable still we don't know where gadhafi is they see that they have broke out into the compound they say the many fighters loyal to him been killed but of promo gadhafi there's no there's no clue very we can be somebody say that he's in the tunnels in you know in the secret and . very very nice to us and those that have been in his compound other

say that he blew away had to say. to the country well we don't know or where or maybe in some regions that are still loyal to him the situation is stable it is a war we cannot see otherwise that's a very disorganized picture is this the right time it's late releasing facing us it's t. the battle cancer but it's a very unclear he single shot i think everybody now is every scene to release money to the traditional government because everybody is trying to make the old situation . stop the lies sought to get the contracts again working to get the oil field working and the only way is to provide money to the transitional government because there's a fund that is the trust fund has been created a few months ago where the british the french or the spanish are putting money. it is probably the only way to get things going and to to start the economy again and pieces that it's going. ok obviously western countries have

a huge interest now and the potential a thing of it in oil fields and we're seeing this sort of wrangling amongst wetness to speak to the head of the rebel council it's really has come under some criticism for switching sides seemingly very very quickly talking shit about the early and you started with saying that she's not unexpected it will certainly here in italy that notice all he is really has a history of changing sides happens all the time even in politics italian politicians always choose sides this is not a surprise for example is it can be a bit hypocritical and cynical to you know to judge i mean two to two outs like this but any form of judgment for these must be suspended because we tell you is no the prime minister is used to choose sides as we said everybody is racist these recent two to get the business. but they're going going again. but this is a race that will see the highest bidder to prevail. even if you sort of

relationship between italian leader has been have been going on for so many years we must we must not forget that the first to intervene in the military level were the french and the british. withdraw the troops on the ground first brought the troops on the ground before anybody else these ideas came after it so this can be you know that. we can. expect from d.c. intervention the from the level of intervention the level of investment if you will depend on the first to intervene for the first. returning government certainly aren't hanging back now of a he's interest is releasing this money is in the interest of the libyan people are as interested in national government. even if you agree said that there's a humanitarian crisis so the interest of money to be released is for the for the population of the people of libya we must not also forget. the main interest i see

for the b.p. oil. companies that make it. not much of national interest. national interest is driven by companies. to get thank you very much for joining us on that day we had a lot of critics saying that these actions are being taken the italian government pledging to release this money is it really in the interest is it being done for the right reasons that's saying that you know there's still a big question mark eva whether the nato mission going to humanitarian reasons really that justification stands up to scrutiny now and at a time when you know the conflict still very much going on in libya the libyan people themselves are still burying their dead whether they publicly the western leaders are now coming forward to host these meetings with the rebel leaders and to be releasing money at the start a lot of criticism of that now speaking some other analysts earlier on this weekend right and they said molly that's right it is exactly what

a lot of people are being feeling but realistically whether you like it or not the oil is going to play a big factor in libya's future and i can you can hear a little bit more about what we found out in right now. jill to the heart of mace motor was and you'll strike oil whether or not that sayings true when it comes to libya well it's going to play a pivotal role in the country's future here we have to fear a strong interest. to western interest to tell it well. also to rebel to ordinary future even government interest to restart channels from possible a stranger to the concept of friends with benefits gagne's being quick to casey up to the new transitional council inviting the public face of the group that made djibril to italy for talks was good at these places european allies in. a tape

bombing campaign began back in april up to the switch sides and began courting the rebels in the fall the wall almost a third of its lease daily energy needs were imported from libya an oil giant any was the largest foreign operator in the country the government here have been doing all they can to safeguard these contracts but the if they will be able to maintain these previously close business cars is by no means a given in a post gadhafi libya the future looks extremely uncertain and there are little guarantee one of the biggest problems for both italy and other western countries since the beginning of the war has been the struggle to adequately understand the internal workings of the rebels themselves. among the rebels there are many factions islamists tunisian people. it's just organized and chaotic and many of these groups of rebels are from the politicians that before were with gadhafi and then they completely changed their face they went with the wind as they send it to

me i think they are corrupt politicians. of all met gadhafi personally on a number of occasions three business connections less than a month ago a sure turn from a fact finding trip to libya with a handwritten letter she says was written by gadhafi to berlusconi in it he allegedly says he was surprised by your decision to join the coalition against libya especially after we signed the friendship and cooperation treaty between our two sides the treaty he's referring to he was time just two months before the libyan uprising the letter goes on to ask why did you join our enemies or that any diplomatic dialogue or investigation berlusconi now seems t.v. the making the friends there was that maybe the final chapter the death the many fear the conflict will continue i would dare to see this done if you talk. which is among the rebels to the east now actually. sense is. to me

to be true. if. you actually proceed to talk to. here now it's silly along with many in the west could well find that previous lucrative relations may turn out to be just the rainfall the friendship there are. the u.s. and the e.u. are pushing for more sanctions against syria's government with an embargo on oil sales likely by the end of the week russia and china oppose the move but have called for an interview on its own for damascus to start social reforms over two thousand people are believed to be killed in syria since march but as all of these maria financial reports what's really going on is hard to verify. this is how the world has been watching their arrest in syria through mobile phone cameras and to footage from the war stricken country has flooded international news

or rather blooded killings an execution supposedly at the hands of president arsons military filmed on cell phones have become a trademark of the regime syrian officials though insists the scenes are staged the you tube is not credible and i witness account is not credible after the come. and shout help they're killing us next door. these are not credible ways to assess the situation the u.n. has been downed over the violence against his people but damascus emphasizes from afar until recently no u.n. mission has crossed the syrian border hyundai's a correspondent with saudi arabia based at ib international news channel in syria he says the government should claim itself for the country's image and the real. foreign journalists in iraq training missions from coming in and they don't allow us to work there cannot just take a camera. filming him even here in damascus the new show would never wait till the

government made a statement there are ten million reporters in the country everyone has a phone why should do away with the lack of access to information many people have used their cell phones to feel what's been happening and to share it with the rest of the world. but this is what going against censorship is a double edged sword while mobile home video can leave anyone and perhaps help save lives it can just as well be used to transform the truth and that could come at the cost of people's lives. not his real name as the man behind the camera is a freelance journalist currently working for a western media outlet he cannot tell more and he doesn't want his face to play on screen hiding the truth about himself he tries to reveal the truth of another kind . of. information about what's going on. there

are some armed forces on the ground. while. the security forces are killing. unarmed. civilians. in freedom i am a muslim isn't afraid of being thrown in jail has been there three times already he's afraid of being killed or friends in doing. this because he was filming it was the only one who started. this and there was already a rift that syrian state t.v. brings their evidence to support to. be cheerful mother crying over her body apparently dead they said that was in the homes but here it is same picture indeed it was made in the iraq in two thousand and nine they condemn the said by. just lay one of the most oppressive regimes in

the world food of the past has never been serious point because this is all we ask all we ask is for the truth to come out for both sides of the story to be told not just one side all the time the fact that not as many foreign journalists are allowed in. the western world once does not give the right to the western world to grab any story. and put it as true but that doesn't look to be among them it is goals and this conflict the press is not just about coverage it's a war and as in every war they go is to wean refuse to damascus syria. while still ahead this hour here in r.t. a major coup for russian football the north caucasus football club puts itself on the sporting map by starting a new super star striker and breaking the bank in the process all the details

shortly. but first a major overhaul of russian space agency has been ordered by prime minister vladimir putin that's after an unmanned resupply vehicle on its way to the international space station was lost in the skies on thursday the search operation is underway with those thought the craft may have burned up in the atmosphere but there's still concern that some toxic materials may have come down on earth bodies peter oliver has this report. the problems occurred for this mission around five minutes after the launch when one of the booster rockets carrying the progress module failed resulted in the whole spacecraft breaking into several pieces and to sending it back towards earth they have cordoned off an area of southern siberia underneath where this incident took place now that cordoned off area is being tested for any toxic elements that could be there the progress module did have on board around one tons of toxic field now scientists testing the rocks the soil and

the water and preliminary results suggest that this being no contamination on the ground for the astronauts on board the international space station who are waiting for the supplies the progress module was supposed to top them up with fuel and food they still have some supplies on board in the worst case scenario and extra so you could be sent up to act as a second escape pod already one soyuz module attached to the international space station a soyuz module though only seats three people or six people on board it would take that extra mile or two of being sent up to be able to evacuate everybody from the space station but that of course is a last resort scenario something that is really being looked into at the minute as a viable option this incident involving this unmanned module isn't the first in recent times it's in fact the fourth that's occurred in the last nine months now a full investigation has been ordered we have heard in the past the president

medvedev wants to see the russian space program updated to bring it right up to the modern era the soyuz rocket is the only way we have now of getting crews from the earth to the international space station and back down again now that since the the nasa space shuttle program was scrapped earlier this year leaving the so you struck at the only lifeline we have between people on the i.s.a.'s on the ground. i could see this so yes program temporarily grounded until what caused this problem is discovered now what we are hearing from cosmos though is that they are fully committed to providing every single bit of the supply network which they said they could give to the i.s.a.'s now for more on how this incident a kid and what it means for those on board the international space station we can now hear from my colleagues show and tell us what we know is that stage three fails to ignite which is the stage that propels it further into space stages one into

both ignite at the same time at the actual time of launch but then there are sensors that communicate with the third stage of the rocket which you can see here and it's that third stage which propels the progress craft up out of the earth's atmosphere so that it can then be in orbit and then synchronize with the international space station talking about the international space station itself it is a very large station in fact if you spread it out over a football field an american football field including the end zones it's a pretty big place in livable space it's about the size of a five bedroom house and has two bathrooms and it is comprised of sixteen different pressurized modules which they've been putting together over the past few years now it's relatively old in terms of space the first zarya module was launched in one nine hundred ninety eight but it has been continuously inhabited and it for about eleven years in fact in november it will reach its eleven year anniversary there's

a crew of six on board right now and what this progress module was about ready to deliver was food oxygen supplies as well as personal items and hygiene items for that crew of six which are on board right now another function that this progress module was to do was to help boost the space station into a specific orbit there are about six hundred times a year that the space station has to maneuver whether to avoid space debris or if it. to actually adjust its orbit in certain ways so that it can keep from falling out of the sky and this progress rocket has the engines and the fuel to help the space station do that so in terms of what does this mean for the international space station and the crew on board we should note that there is no routine to space flight there is always an inherent danger but there is no immediate threat to the crew on board right now because they have enough supplies right now we are told that they have about three months of regular supplies left as well as an additional

emergency thirty day supply of food and water and the necessary items for every crew member on board. now let's check out some other news from around the world at twenty one minutes past the russian capital israeli military aircraft struck a number of targets in gaza overnight with four deaths confirmed by the palestinians twenty others were also wounded despite a two day old cease fire that comes after palestinian militants fired over a dozen rockets into israel on wednesday the latest round of violence broke out last week when gunmen reportedly from gaza cars and buses. leaving eight people dead. not guilty during a pretrial hearing at the international tribunal for the former yugoslavia the former bosnian serb commander is accused of killing of almost eight thousand bosnians at srebrenica in one thousand nine hundred five is not his claim there sixty nine year old clarges two will to stand trial comes a day after the court on which the wartime leader of rebel serbs in croatia pleaded
