hello and a very warm welcome from all of us here in moscow this is our she with me thanks for joining is in libya the rebels are advancing towards sad but are facing fierce resistance from pro khadafi forces the fighting also continues in tripoli after gadhafi aired a message claiming he's fighting on the front line the whereabouts of the colonel and his family are still unknown the national transitional council says it needs five billion dollars to provide stability in the country and for more on the views international funds. that. you know we've heard on the back of the information released today when the italian government met with the heads of the rebel council must meet to brill that happened just behind me in this building here earlier today and we had the announcement that italy plans to release half a billion dollars of phrase in live in assets and we then heard that the rebels had

apparently been able to locate it at face value from his spokesman gadhafi spokesman saying that that wasn't the case and then we've heard that there's a good duffy himself releasing information and speaking saying coolly as usual for the rebels to rise up and continue fighting the rebel 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 spoke today 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 a slave is the question mark over just who this money belongs to his very unclear

at this point in time whether this money is libyan money or whether this money belongs to the gadhafi family is a very confusing as he 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 and right over the past couple of days talking some people about this. will to the hearts of most motor was and you'll strike oil whether or not that sayings true when it comes to libya will it's going to play a pivotal role in the country's future here we have two very strong interest to me . the western interest. to check to be sure. but also to rebel to when and where you. live in government interest to restart selling all this possible the stranger to the concept of friends with benefits gagne's being quick to casey out to the new transitional council inviting the public face of the group

but major brill to italy for talks. these closest european allies in the nato a bombing campaign began back in april when the pro police switch sides and began courting the rebels in full the war almost a third of its least daily energy needs were imported from libya an oil giant any was the largest foreign operator in the country the government had been doing all they can to safeguard these contracts but the if they will be able to maintain these previously close business cards 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 the 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 tunisian people. it's just organized and chaotic and many chiefs 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 say and you to me i think corrupt politicians. of almost gadhafi personally on a number of occasions three business connections less than a month ago she returned 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. he was fine just t. months before the libyan uprising the less you gaze on so why did you join our enemies without any diplomatic dialogue or investigation fellas gainey now seems teeth busy making friends while it may be to find a chat. anything that will continue i would dare to see.

you for the cheese among the rebels there is now its. chances look sense. to me and tell. me. who you are actually the person to talk to. would be. very boring but yeah now it's silly along with many in the west could well find previous lucrative relations may turn out to be just the rainfall that the french at their. oath and investigative journalist that's the topless as if native fails to count it will shift its attention to the eastern mediterranean and countries like syria gadhafi was supposed to fall in march he has essentially gummed up the works he has assumed a blocking position visa v the nato subversion machine and he's kept them tied up for six or seven months if gadhafi resistance were to subside which i do not think

will happen these military assets that we presently see deployed in the central mediterranean will be moved to the eastern mediterranean and there hezbollah and syria and ultimately iran had better watch out because they're also targets and remember this then gets into iran and also russia because of that important a naval station card to syria which is the base of the russian mediterranean squadron so if it's if it's calming down in libya that simply means that this war will move move east but i think right now we're looking at a. very long war in libya let's compare gadhafi to well i don't want to compare him to mobile omar but you know that was ten years ago mullah omar is still operating with no problems. i think can can go in one better so don't don't look for gadhafi to be rounded up any time and even if he is there's an extended family here and

there is indeed an extended tribe the tribal organization in libya is ideal for conducting a resistance under these conditions. america in the you are pushing for a fresh round of sanctions against syria russia and china are both against external interference in the country's domestic affairs but have called for an end to the violence in the country and while it has been reported at least twenty five protesters have been killed in the past two days over two thousand people are believed to have been killed in syria since march but as maria notion reports really growing on the country it's hard to bury. in the morning this is how the world has been watch and then the rest and 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 eye witness account is not credible after become requests 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 a low u.n. mission has crossed the syrian border hyundai's a correspondent with saudi arabia based on that i'd be international news channel in syria he says the government should blame itself for the country's image of the real mother he is a brand foreign journalist finding missions from coming in and they don't allow us to work they cannot just take your 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 they wait 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 went 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 martin not his real name is the man behind the camera he's 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 he tries to reveal the truth of another kind. of. information about what's going on. there are some armed forces on the ground that are going to billions while. the security forces are shooting and killing. unarmed. civilians and went out to broach the need more 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 duma where he got shot out during the process because he was filming it was the only one who was starting to. to approach this and as a result of were arrested syrian state t.v. brings their evidence to support their leader. but be cheerful mother crying over her body apparently that they said that was in the homes but here it is same picture indeed that 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 freedom of the past has never been serious strong point because this is all we ask all we are 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 and his story and put it as true but that doesn't look to be among the media's goals and this conflict the press is not just about coverage it's a war and as in every war the goal is to win roof are to damascus syria. this is r.t. and still ahead this hour a new star for russian football inter milan top striker goes east for the biggest pay packet in the game all the details in just a few minutes and. russia's prime minister has ordered a major overhaul of safety tracks on the country's rockets that's after an unmanned space freighter crashed in eastern russia on wednesday as such operation is currently underway with experts saying the craft might have burnt up in the

atmosphere but there's still concern that some toxic materials may have come down and beat all of the details. 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 descending 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 half tons of toxic field now scientists testing the rocks the soil and the water and to limit the results suggest that there's been 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 hour to consent 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 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 not 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. could see the soyuz 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 colleague shown thomas 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 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's 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 necessary items for every crew member on board. let's check some other stories making headlines around the globe right oh not to read it's not guilty during a pretrial hearing of the international tribunal for the former yugoslavia and it says day to end his bosnian serb command days accused of killing almost eight thousand both me and say nine hundred ninety five his lawyers claim that sixty nine year old client is still able to stand trial hearing comes two days after the war and hostage the wartime leader of rebel serbs in croatia pleaded not guilty to crimes against humanity. but it soon officials say two militants have been killed

lines across the globe and its inverse unlikely setting that i had seen of world starts is being built the story behind this transfer began in january when the darkest on the clock was bought by slowly month getting him of a locally born businessman and one of the richest men in russia he found to turn gene into a contender hoping to transform the republic's image in the process a handful of promising acquisitions followed among the legendary brazilian de-fund the cardless the current captain of the club the fact that one of the best wears in the world will be playing him there are some remember you're we'll. america are very big on britain in parts of the developmental of the game here in russia. i think it would give a very good image of ross in football because. it is one of the best sinclair's years of the start of the boston russian money in european football is nothing new

back in two thousand and three russian businessman and i'm on the but i'm more beach body english club chelsea and transformed a mid-level club into you apparent power house i should have small enough has also ploughed his millions into english giants arsenal but this time the situation is different here is a bit is to make a little known russian football team known across the world this deal may heralds a new reality in the european game where international football superstar us playing for russian clubs are asking women as toes goals the question r.t. reporting from the north caucasus. the bank with a recap our top stories in about ten minutes in the meantime it's our interview with iran do these have a member of the fact finding mission just back from the bit stay with us.

the old. it's been described as the file chapter three gadhafi that was the end to the war in libya same as saying the the realisation now setting in that there still remains a little tough battle ahead we're joined now by yvonne de vito he's just come back from libya where you were compiling an independent dossier on what was happening on the ground as a thank you very much for joining us there you've been saying that it's because certainly here in italy the news reports about what was happening in libya were very confusing a lot of conflicting information secure tell us what you saw what you found whilst

you were there on that we went to libya on the twenty eighth of july and we came back on the seventh of august and we found a totally different situation because nato was bombarding civilians and the bombings were not only carried out to military targets are not but they almost hit houses hospitals television centers and this was totally against the humanitarian and the reasons they said the where there funny or i believe they were doing this to bring panic in the city that's why they were bombing the things that people use daily like places with food and essentially activities like hospital myself that this was a very difficult period for muslims now because of ramadan and that is why they do time there in the house last hour and went to tripoli and to the time we saw huge protests with thousands of croker dump with apartheid is turning out to get out of town and these demonstrations were not shown. in italy also visited to endure and since we were there and found a lot of women that were screaming at us asking why you were taliban for bombing us

when did we do why are you killing our children that was the main question when she did it on the same day they bombed the highlands and in this house to children were killed like you tried to show the pictures of these children that were dead but apart from us no one else did the same except the times that was done with our own noise visiting these places that were bombed we have so much material that private offices and journalists from little you gave to us as destiny to our dad from the nato bombing this after all the things that i do still we have one question where is this a humanitarian the other really helping the civilians better because i believe that all this is because of economic reason money or at least there are other reasons why there's more happened. because i'm also visited libya before us and what we found was a normal situation where people were finally differently from other countries that went through a revolution live i is considered to be the stewards of the end of the african continent and is very rich and schools are free for the people and hospitals are

free for the political at that and the conditions for women are much better than in other arab countries that give a you've personally megadeth yourself on a number of occasions what you think post war and post gadhafi libya is going to look like your own television stations are showing all of the fighting and demonstrating against gadhafi i personally saw many people demonstrating. i don't know why so many journalists are not sharing that because they're manipulating the situation and have a sort of money independent media show these videos on the internet because there is more freedom from what we saw personally one where in libya from the documents what we saw the rebels as disorganized groups others other fizzles the people that the rebels coming to power will prefer a continuation of the volatile situation. i believe that the rebels will not be able to do a good job after gadhafi among them there are many groups tunisian people that i

don't know why they are there al-qaeda rebels from libya the just you want to change it but there is too much as organization to make of the people we interviewed were very afraid to imagine that iraq was could take power because they think that they are not able to govern the country or to take control and proper way the chiefs of these groups the rebels are ex politician with former politicians that before while with gadhafi and then they completely changed their fate they went with the wind as they say in italy when we talk of the nato mission for humanitarian reasons do you think that justification for the war in libya stands up to scrutiny. and i believe it's not a valid justification because most of the targets were civilian wire and many people say the people were targets on purpose to create panic on the ground how much of a discrepancy did you see a look on between what later was saying or you're saying i think many many discrepancies every day the first day that nato bombed

a civilian target i apologize to saying it was a mistake but the day after they kept bombing civilian targets and when the libyan government was asking why are you bombing civilians and they too were denying it saying it was gadhafi compound that was untrue or you saw it this is being described by years a war if this is the nation how much of that did you see on the ground who can see us still how much the media are manipulating the situation when they say that gadhafi sons have been arrested was this done partly on true the reports that all of tripoli have been taken over by the robbers and this also appears on true a friend of ours who is a businesswoman who lives in tripoli and one of the created a commission to make an investigation into the facts of what happened in libya she told me she found some journalists who were making false reports saying that the rebels were behind them. when in fact the city behind them was empty we saw pictures of green squad that is completely full of rebels but if you compare those

pictures to other pictures of her in square it's completely different it seems like a set was created on patmos to make the public think that tripoli was taken over by the rebels and the gadhafi family was dead with things this isn't meant to tactic because they want people to think that troubles have taken power and i believe they're doing this because nato has an hari to show that is before the such as a vocalist because they don't want to have to provide the financing for the other thing is amongst the people that the rebels coming to power will prefer a continuation of the volatile situation this was not a popular demonstration but a huge military action against gadhafi i think off to gadhafi to have a very difficult a maid who won't leave the national transitional council to govern as they have put in a lot of money into this pool so probably they will want some of that power and to be in charge that it was just an excuse a justification that they want to help the people who will continue to take control of the city.

twenty years ago this country. began a journey. where did it take the. last time. was the army where the gold rush still gets people like up. this time margi goes to reach. where the local government is giving power back to the people. every orphan will be adopted. or locals turn their land into a tourist paradox world comes to fruition should close up on our genes.
