totally. family. dynamics. to do something but. my job. as heavy fighting continues in navy as bloody civil war there is concern the country's chemical weapons could fall into the wrong hands. france struggles to balance the books as stagnating growth and surging gas bring about government cuts with fierce public outrage could soon spill out into the streets. of the caucuses republican because he is electing a new leader in a vote triggered by the death of its president. it's the final countdown to the federal reserve's annual meeting in jackson hole business today we'll bring you more analysis about twenty minutes.

from the am in the russian capital you watching r t welcome to the program the u.n. has called for restraint in libya and reports of abuses an alleged summary killings by both rebels and gadhafi loyalists the security council has also agreed to release one point five billion dollars in leaving assets to help deal with humanitarian needs the opposition continues to claim the tripoli is largely under its control national transitional council says it's moved from its stronghold of benghazi to the capital meanwhile the pentagon says it's monitoring levy inside any stockpiles of chemical weapons and is pledging to prevent them from falling into the wrong hands and stop the arsenals include tons of mustard gas and raw uranium as art is lower and it reports that's causing concern of some rebel factions said to have been infiltrated by islamic extremists. tripoli a city in chaos there's constant gunfire both aggressive and celebration and on the

outskirts of the capital stockpiles of chemical weapons nato know very little about the people who might come to power in tripoli you know if you've got this cash gift of mass destruction then again people really don't know what's there and if this is fully going to the families of certain people i mean the situation is potentially disastrous despite the heavy presence of rebels in tripoli the chemical stockpile appears still to be in the hands of what's left of his government that's both good and bad news following a series of meetings in two thousand and three moammar gadhafi agreed to allow weapons inspectors into libya the first step towards abandoning his w m d program in return for a normalizing of relations with the u.k. and u.s. they agree that he wouldn't use all moved material but now thanks in part to nato

support of the rebels. puts and may feel he has nothing to lose by disregarding that agreements cry victory or martyrdom will strike an omen to those who know of his potential given the violations of. national territory of libya by you know led rebel forces i think that idea that he would be go into these types of. grievance would be profitable of this point and certainly he was called it as seen in early july and that he would be willing to strike out europe in tripoli was attacked so i think it's a fair assumption to say that if there is no capability that he would be looking at options at this point. but the alternative rebel control of chemical weapons is arguably worse according to many some of the rebel factions have links to al qaida or of commentator abdel bari atwan says the red. it got itself into this trouble now it has to decide how it will figure it out and the options aren't attractive we

knew better you know the majority of the people who are fighting are muslim extremists so how do you call is going to continue with those people are about the model of america but i believe the post here will be more problematic than that but . there are some indications nato is considering putting peacekeeping troops on the ground in libya we journal experts who are back could be seen by parts of the free libya movement as an act of aggression but having supported the rebel movement they too must now deal with the consequences even if that. islamic extremists. there are reports of heavy resistance by gadhafi forces were colonels whereabouts still unknown meanwhile khadafi has aired another radio message claiming he is fighting on the front line nato has denied previous reports that it's assisting the rebels in their hands to find him but journalist and broadcaster clarke says they

use of this information by all sides as a whole mark of the conflict. 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 that could that is finished the war is basically over and everyone supports them the situation is rather more complex and 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 trouble and it's very clear. who has lots of support because if you the west these schools that you have no support and everybody behind the opposition but it isn't true what nato is going to get basically is transform a situation where there was a stray sions against the regime there into a full scale civil war and i don't hold the line that nato is needed really there anymore the western powers who. really want to get their money back and they want

to get money they want to profits this whole enterprise about humanitary to mention that was entirely bogus this was all about talking. and installing a new regime we would hand out the contracts to western companies and would be much more amenable to america. and so the money is going to go to western corporations it is going to go to the libyan people. which aren't you coming to you live from moscow still to come for you that's our program report and next first try to stablish the cause of russia's on manned spacecraft crash will look into how it will affect the crew of the international space station had been awaiting bydel supplies. and discover our people in the central russian region are taking the initiative back into their own hands to change their communities for the better. coming to later before that the riches sector of french society are pledging another three percent of their annual income to help the country battle its

deepening debt crisis that's as the french prime minister announced of some twelve billion euro worth of cuts alongside gloomy forecasts for growth but is r t is daniel bushell explains the move could be too little too late with fears social unrest could follow. france enjoys a triple a credit rating but now puts it one of the choice debt ratios among the world's top rated states many investors bet on it to follow the u.s. and be downgraded just repaying interest only it's this year has overtaken education and defense as the government's biggest spend was just because he's presided over the biggest jump in debt levels in our history books that carry too much water sink. france is going to the tolerance limits probably the stuff i see explained to you rolled up spending cuts this week but

economies fear things was so bad those cuts go nowhere near enough he can compare it with people saying we're going to buy a lamborghini and they only buy a porsche and they call that austerity doctor's wall for all these huge debts burden is bringing crudely under-investment in schools and hospitals. getting. into car and. computers. very old. fashioned. the situation's explosive say experts and frauds could be next to witness roy it's like those in britain with deprived regions like the inner part of cities in the suburbs. are certainly segregated to very high extent. in the u.k. or in germany so yes unrest come from the suburbs and spread through nicolas

neighboring georgia oh you know across life barton is following elections for us there so tom let's talk about how people feel about these elections as we know high turnout had been expected for this election so is this proving to be the case and tell us how people there are bracing this chance to vote in a fledgling state. that is really no i think there's people out today wanting to have a say in the future of the country here in the capital so who polls have been open all day and they'll continue for some hours yet and people are coming to try and cast their votes i won three cans of the at the moment there's no real leader between them is no real front runner that's obvious just yet we went and spoke to some people earlier they kept their choices very close to their chest they didn't want to tell us who they were backing all of this has made necessary by the death of the previous presidents. on the twenty ninth of may he died suddenly leaving

a power vacuum in his place and now three candidates the vice president the prime minister and another former vice president are all campaigning to try and take his spot a lot of international observers of come to over. see this selections of try and say that it's conducted fairly neighboring georgia has tried to discourage many of those observers from coming because it can still considers a part of its territory and we spoke earlier to a representative of the swiss government who had dismissed those concerns. when i was invited to. have. a very quick reaction from the georgian always says oh no go on the girls are a but my impression is good can exactly support what you are doing here you know because you're fighting for your. independence he appreciates the context

of this country the people are fighting for the freedom. what are you looking ahead why do people expect from their new leader. i think they're going to expect a lot from the next president it's going to require a lot of basically development and infrastructure the real hard work that builds the state up to be able to stand on its own two feet today's a very important day because today three years ago dmitri medvedev president of russia recognized the independence of our cars and that was at the end of. a war that was started when georgia attacked a neighboring south a setia that territory to the east of here. was also involved in that and georgian forces were pushed off territory that was merely the final act in a very long struggle for independence but. really starting after the end of the

cold war the damage from all of that conflict is going to require a lot of time and effort to repair and i think that's what carson's cousins really want from their next president. all right john thanks very much indeed for bringing us this update from the capital of hearty yes home here. and you're watching our t.v. coming to live from moscow we're here for you twenty four hours a day so you can watch the news you want when you want it on our web site as well which is our team dot com here's a quick look at what we've god lined up for you there. in new york police and the cia are slammed for racial profiling and discrimination as it emerges they collected intelligence on muslims and undercover operations. and a superstar signing cam'ron strike gerth some you know at zero arrives in russia to join dagestani side with a hefty salary to boot all the details are available on our website r t v dot com plaza can watch our best videos in our you tube channel.

stunning countryside and as we explore the region artie's eager abroad with explains how people there are taking matters into their own hands as they tackle local problems. they got what they asked for three slides a sandbank and it be charged might not seem like much but for a small community in the care of region they become a leisure hotspot they used to be known here it was abandoned now when the sun is out you can get a place. this type of project only cost five thousand dollars but it was no money in the local budget to build safe access to the lake and still the regional government introduced a local initiative scheme when they heard of the village club together and applied for a grant from a special fund with the beach was late. if people were consulted overdose a decision to go to and i think as a result people look after this property properly. day of micro projects the

thought of jointly by the world bank and the cure of administration they provide preferred sort of money while local citizens have to find the rest often go round houses to collect the cash nearly two hundred micro projects all rebuilt in this region by the end of the year. but we want to change people's attitudes instead of expecting things done for them we want them to take initiative we are giving power back to the people this might look like a women's institute meeting in a village hall in fact the participants are thrashing out the details of when you wrote there is heated debate about the quality of the works and what of the builders are falling behind. unlike other projects the financing of the road is completely transparent we know were admirable has gone. a village of color cherokee has just over a thousand residents several hundred of them petty criminals serving their time in a labor colony it has one poorly stop shop and for every road it builds good terms

more that need to be repaired. one micro project will not solve its problems but it has a start now the government can't just rely on its citizens to come up with a solution. what every single infrastructural problem but faces russia but in a place where major decisions are often made with little consultation for the foreseeable future this program is a good idea you can regardless of your region. brings the day here but surely will bring you all the latest high tech gadgets in our technology have day before that dell will take what's happening in business with you are you. one of us right time to delve into the world of business and zero hour is approaching for ben bernanke is to outline his vision of how to save the u.s. from slipping back into recession the markets will be really watching the federal reserve annual meeting in jackson hole they'll be looking for him that the money

printing press will once again be started how whether to mccutcheon from of all could gold believes that that has guided some nation and all that's got left of blanks. all of the money has already been printed there's already massive character serves both outside of the us on a corporate level as well as our federal reserve bank. and their own balance sheet when they bought up all the mortgages and everything else back in two thousand and eight so no matter what they do they're really sort of a rock and a hard place if economic activity picks up in the u.s. in philosophy picks up money starts moving more and more and there's a lot more money than there was three years ago that's inflationary if you're going to economy doesn't pick up then they have to print more and more money to cover the the budget deficit for a while to which again it's inflationary so they really don't have much choice the only thing they can do is raise rates but if they do they're going to kill all the homeowners in the u.s. who are underwater on their mortgages so there's really not much more bernanke you can say frankly on friday and was already been so. let's have a look at the markets while prices are down despite fears that hurrican i really

could just find our production on the east coast of the u.s. . and after a c. thirty six thousand off in the gold market the precious metals once again climbing on monday reached a record high of ninety eight hundred dollars this was followed by a three day correction and silver is just under one percent. of the three day european stock rally ended on thursday much like it began with a sudden turn the negative comment is continuing on friday with many investors sidelines ahead of that statement and a pretty similar picture in russia investors are anticipating the decision on quantify easing on the markets flash after seeing some gains in the first minutes of trading well the r.t.s. is gaining zero point four percent. that's a look at some of the individual share moves on the minus six some oil majors are still under pressure with all snuffed losing ground hundred percent still make a case also down the company posted thirty million dollars net profit in the second

quarter well below expectations another still major superstar was also down after posting a sixteen. percent rise in second quarter profits that's also part of the cost. the russian equities have been struggling to find any positive momentum and for a book down of a grasp on banks as investors should look to fundamental stories for a safer bet. it's very cost speak with fundamentals and certainly all the work for the stores which are in the new very cheap and provided with will you. take with a few russian market would probably one of the stores from one of your separate letters despite all the things associated with the company it's company with everywhere so it's good i would say it was there were crowds of those sharp selloff during the last couple of weeks it's no if you're in a very good buying opportunity you. also need of course as world working for us

media for example and then again i think. you can write the really far and expensive story which is not in the price equation with the market variance which are. again i would be very unpredictable in russia in that we as a quarter global. universe. is dependent to it. and i'll tell you that russia's export duty on oil will increase six dollars to four hundred forty four dollars per ton in september on thursday prime minister putin has also signed russia's new product export you to regime this is intended to increase investment in refining our hope avoid repetition of the fuel shortages earlier this year. two but the world's top of the menu maker who want to sell their stake to a third tycoon of issue that's according to daily then mr newspaper well this comes not selling

the kaluga region of russia however it has very few locally produced. and under the new assembly line rules that the government is trying to climb and this will have to change because the creases that eventually all cars made in russia will have to have at least sixty percent of the locally produced components it effectively obliges companies to establish operations in russia from the ground up we're expecting sales training for a strong way in the medium term over the next five ten years and then of those cells we're expecting the percentage that are produced in russia to increase so that kind of material and then the number of components locally produced in that production is going to increase significantly with the new degree and the focus on mobilization the new rules have raised concerns they need hamper investment in final assembly vehicle plants but for the most part reaction has been positive for the green cheese with i mean by i think it's it's a very i don't see

a lot of opportunity of improvement russia is still a long way from weaning itself off oil but analysts say the country could become europe's largest car producer as barring any further hiccups in the global economy it has the potential to overtake germany as the big market in as little as three years michael christian go business r.t. that's all we have time for now europe so they don't forget you can find more in our series on our website r.t. dot com slash business.
