and super star striker samuel eto arrives in russia to join a north caucasus club. for a record breaking paycheck. international news and coming live from our headquarters here in moscow where it's not just past eleven pm and nine pm in tripoli where libyan rebels say they have moammar gadhafi surrounded but in a new audi a message purportedly 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 or to sort of first has the latest force. we've heard on the back of the information released today when the italian government met with the heads of the rebel council mark major brill that happened just behind me in this building here earlier today and we had the

announcement that if he plans to release half a billion dollars of phrase and live in assets and we then heard that the rebels had apparently been able to make a good athlete from his cycling gadhafi stay expense saying that that wasn't the case and then we heard that there's a new kid out for himself every leasing information speaking saying coolly as you for the rebels to rise up and continue fighting the rebels it's an extremely confusing time and this is really pulled into focus what a lot of critics have been saying which is is this really the right time to be releasing money to the rebel council they're not so sure it's still very unclear exactly who's in charge with the russian foreign minister speaks a day on the phone to the u.n. secretary general saying that really what he wants to see now what should be happening is that any post war settlement happening regarding libya should be done under the monitoring very close. monitoring of the u.n.

another situation has arisen today with this money being released by islay is the question mark over just to this money belongs to it's very unclear at this point in time whether this money is libyan money or whether this money belongs to the gadhafi family is so very confusing as we said a lot of business interests here in the country but whether you like it or not as we said oil is certainly going to play a very big part in libya's future not been in rome over the past couple of days talking some people about this. drill to the heart of most modern walls and you'll strike oil whether or not the sayings true when it comes to libya well it's going to play a pivotal role in the country's future here we have two very strong and. the western interest to tell if your. own to rebel to ordinary to try to do the job of interest to restore some interest possible a stranger to the concept of friends with benefits gagne's being quick to k.z.

up to the new transitional council inviting the public face of the group but major brill to italy for talks was good at these closest european allies when the native bombing campaign began back in april rima properly switch sides and began courting the rebels in the full 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 ties it's by no means a given and oppose the death in libya the future electic stream uncertain and there are little guarantee one of the biggest problems to italy and other western countries since the beginning of the war has been the struggle to adequately understand the internal workings of the the rebels. amongst the rebels there are

many factions islamists tunisian people al-qaeda it's just organized and chaotic and many chief 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 a gay she returned from a fact finding trip to libya with a handwritten letter she says was written by gadhafi to palace gain a 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 talking 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.

is in making the friends the waltz that maybe the final shot to take death a mini theory of the conflict will continue i would dare to see if you talk for the cheese among the rebels there is no actual. sense or. no concern seems to me to be an internal. meeting whom you actually personally talk to. be. with her foreign media now is silly along with many in the west could well find that previous lucrative relations may turn out to be just as fickle as the rainfall the fair weather friendships surf city. journalist and broadcaster neil clark joins us from oxford in the u.k. for his book perspective on the libyan crisis good to have you here on party again neil well conflicting reports coming from libya on his whereabouts what do you make or. rebel claims they got him cornered but all we have in this war bill is why

after lie after lie we were told back in march that colonel gadhafi was on what was on his way in a jet or away from the country we had claimed that he only been captured the son was supposed to be captured on saturday night and then he cops are again a day later so what is very clear is happening here is the rebels are trying to teach this to the international audience and trying to make out their complete control of the country it could happen it's finished the war is basically over and everyone supports them the situation is not what it is rather more complex than that but let's talk about the situation once it is over the latest pictures from libya depict numerous victims of fighting prison breaks and children carrying guns as we're talking now we're showing images of that happening how capable would you think are the rebels of governing a country in chaos once gadhafi has gone i think there's a very real danger that we're into the sort of iraq scenario here where what

happened was a longstanding dictatorship was deposed by the west and we've had eight years of civil war basically iraq with a million people dead and i would obviously don't want that to happen in v.b. but those who are dangerous it's a very very divided society along tribal lines and the gadhafi regime which was secular good managed to hold the country together for a long period and now we're going to see tribal warfare and it's very clear that he still has lots of support that the view in the west is of course that he has no support and that everybody is behind the opposition but it isn't true therefore if there is going to be complete chaos and law and disorder after this doesn't that mean that nato should carry on with its presence or should it leave and leave it up to the likes of the arab league or the african union i think the sooner nato leads the better and leaves the libyans to sort this out but also african union can play a part and basically as the case in iraq it was that made. cause of instability was

of course that the western powers being there i mean they caused the instability in the first place which is what they've done here what nato has done here basically is to turn baby is basically transform a situation where there was. against the into a full scale civil war and i don't hold the line that nato is needed really there anymore what about of the moment a bomb of ministration claims that libya's weapons of mass destruction are secure does that mean they're actually under rebel supervision and if that's the case just how safe with those weapons of mass destruction b. well i think the american war and. really all along was to ensure and western mind was to regime change and what we've got in the rebels is a very disparate group of people who have very different range and agendas and when we say. weapons are under rebel control we're going to be really don't know which groups rebels have these because a situation could get very much out of hand and i'm pretty sure that in

a year or so as time people will look back at the before the invasion with some sort of nostalgia or a period of peace and. i hope i'm wrong but i fear that libya is in for terrible period of civil war now calls for a nato is throwing money the right thing to do to solve the solution the rebels will soon have their hands on what's happening over half a billion dollars more promised to come in the future it's not too early to hand over money and indeed if this is cash where will this money go to would actually go to the libyan people who are i think it is far too i mean who who is in control of it still not very clear as to what areas the rebels actually control but getting very very conflicted with this and i think the real danger now is the money one of them to the people. and of course the western powers who are very keen change. really want to get their money back and they want to get money they want profits this whole enterprise what about humanitarian to think that was entirely bogus this was all about. talk. and installing

a new regime would hand out the contracts to western companies and would be much more amenable to to american its allies generally and so the money is going to go to western gratian it isn't going to go to the libyan people but also what about i mean we are getting reports that cash is going to be handed out i mean it's very difficult to account for cash isn't it isn't that not an open invitation to corruption oh absolutely and just because what happened in iraq after the invasion and there was an extraordinary levels of corruption with the interim government there where. cases full of cash were being handed out to different groups different leaders and you know let's think about libya i'm not a fan of colonel gadhafi i was a supporter of his but the country have good infrastructure hospitals were good roads were good and so you know it's it's unfair to say that libya was a failed state under colonel gadhafi most people didn't quite well it was one of the richest of the richest countries in africa and all that now has been wrecked

nato has destroyed the infrastructure of the country it's going to take an awful lot of rebuilding and of course the people who did it is the people behind these nato not humanitarians this is the big problem you know they are not generally concerned about rebuilding libya it won't proceed in libya i think a democratic government it was the last thing the enterprise want because a democratic government really be able to. first. size to western corporations first interest to hear your thoughts neil clark journalist and broadcaster talking to us live from oxford new k. thanks for your time thanks for. the us 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 of call for an end to violence and for the massacres to start social reforms over two thousand people are believed to being killed in syria since march but as. a report what's really going on is hard to verify. morning this is how the world has been watch in the unrest in syria through mobile phone cameras and to footage from the

war stricken country has flooded international news or rather blooded killings and executions 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 become now and shout help they're killing us next door. these are not credible ways to assess the situation the un has condemned 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 on that i mean a national news channel in syria he says the government should blame itself for the country's image of the real. foreign journalists in fact finding missions from coming in and really don't allow it to work they cannot just take

a camera and go filming even here in damascus and you should and i 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 film 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 video can give 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 marzan not his real name is 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 appear on screen hiding the truth about himself its rise to reveal the. of another kind. of. information about what's going on. there are some armed forces on the

ground that are purely civilian while. most of the city's security forces are killing. unarmed. civilians and went out to broach the christian freedom. muslim isn't afraid of being thrown in jail has been there three times already he's afraid of being killed or friends in doom where he got shot down during the process because he was filming it was the only one who was starting. to approach this and others are very average that syrian state t.v. brings their evidence to support their leader sort of the most. beautiful 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 but they just play one of the most oppressive regimes in the world food in the press has never been serious strong 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 we refuse to damascus syria. seventeen minutes past the almost here in moscow still. to calm a major coup for russian football. puts itself on the sporting map by signing

a new superstar breaking the bank in the process all the details for you shortly. but first a major overhaul of russian space agency has been ordered by prime minister vladimir putin that's unmanned resupply vessel on its way to the international space station was lost in the skies on wednesday as search operation is underway although it's 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. one of the reports now. the problems occurred for this mission around five minutes after the launch when one of the booster rockets carrying the progress module failed that resulted in the whole spacecraft breaking into several pieces and descending 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 feel 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 they progress module was supposed to top them up with fuel and food they still have some supplies on board in the worst case scenario an extra soyuz rocket 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 module being sent up to be able to evacuate everybody from the space station but that of course is a last resort scenario something that isn't 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 the fourth that's occurred in the last nine months now

a full investigation has been ordered we have heard in the past that 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 but 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 we could see the soyuz program temporarily grounded until what caused this problem is discovered now what we are hearing from roscosmos though is that they are fully committed to providing every single bit of supply of the supply network which they said they could give to the i.s.a.'s now they're saying that they can they can come through on everything they promised and that this is just a blip in the road. more news now from other parts of the world are headlines from
