why don't what's really happening to the global economy with much stronger for a no holds barred look at the global financial headlines tune in to congress report . as libyan rebels dismiss colonel gadhafi is author of the talks people in tripoli struggle to bring their lives back to normal following last week's fierce fighting. you had said in syria continues despite promises of press reforms are to go to see what's fueling the gun rast in one city torn apart by violence. and the ultimate retreat a russian company plans to open the first ever space hotel in just five years we were there what exactly the on earth replies are joe has to offer.

good morning to you live from our headquarters here in central moscow you're watching archie with me and he said now it's ten am in the russian capital eight am in tripoli where the rebels in libya have rejected the possibility of staging talks with moammar gadhafi the national transitional council says they want to see him in jail and not at the negotiating table rhea for notion is in tripoli and will be joining us shortly we hope in the program well meanwhile mideast expert than glazebrook says nato is using the rebels to make libya a failed state. this war is fundamentally a war to maintain africa in a subordinate position in the global economy and twenty ten k. there made a proposal to the african union that was adopted that no african country would allow a u.s. base on its soil since that time the u.s.

has been desperate to get rid of gadhafi when you talk about the rebels though this is a very disparate group of people really who's calling the shots as nato leaders that we hear about matthew jabril. these are people who have stablished links with western financial institutions going back over several years so really when when we hear from these people. that made place the libyan state we the same as what's replaced the state in iraq afghanistan which is a dysfunctional government complete lack of security gang warfare and civil war and this is not a mistake for major they would prefer to see failed states and states that are powerful and independent and able to challenge their germany and those who are fighting for nato and in libya and i think that the gnc really need to understand that this is nato his vision for their country we need to wake up and seeing that there be a new. and professor can say of bethlehem university says it was nato who helped make the revolt in libya possible and what's happened can hardly be

described as the will of the people. western powers have interests in libya among them most important of course libyan oil clearly there are balls that were created by the western powers initially there were a few demonstrations that were one thing. and then of course the western powers and the fear. is not just the military power in the area that they are pushing they have also increasingly quilter weapons on the ground for the rebels they have also supported them with special forces from britain even the united states of tara giving them careening in this in some way be legitimate is that because it puts a foreign imprint on essentially what was before the rebellion like the egyptian rebellion or the tunisian rebellion. party is in tripoli and now joins us

live of course rebels in libya projecting the possibility of negotiations with gadhafi they want to see him in jail not at the table what more are the gravel saying about their stance on this issue. well any so what we're hearing here in tripoli from the rebels makes their position absolutely clear they will no be any negotiations with gadhafi and all the can provide him they say is safety and head trial the rebels information minister mahmoud has said that if even if gadhafi personally called him and asks when you go she says he will not never talk to him he has added that the rebels are not negotiating with the criminals and with the killers and prison not talks but as i had called in both old colonel earlier. duffy is government spokesperson most able again has sent a message to the rubbles about his readiness to hold talks with the rubbles on forming the transitional government has even sad that gadhafi appoints his third

son saadi to lead these negotiations but we have to say that kentucky is not right now in a position to negotiate he's not in a strong position at all because the rattles are progressing quite well this statement comes just a week after their brilliant assault on the libyan capital tripoli as a result they are virtually controlling most of this city they are actually right now controlling most of the country as well as i could off it is not at all in a position to negotiate or to to offer something to the gravels and that's clear and this is what the rabble. have been sane these days meanwhile. claiming that they are preparing for what they call the final battle an assault on khadafi is last stronghold his home. which is six hundred kilometers east of the capital tripoli they are now just waiting for nato to clear the path

towards and as far as we can understand these operations on the city of sirte is just a matter of time right now if only and the reason. there is a chance that it will not be a peace operation. only if. the negotiations with those who support gadhafi in the capital city. to surround this fire as we know in the rubble to say that because she's with them underway right now but. if they don't agree with the next two days and then we'll start and he said what about ordinary people in the city are there any signs of life returning to normality for them or is this looking like just the beginning of the end there. well the situation here in tripoli i would describe this situation as humanitarian disaster the tripoli council has said that

from sixty to seventy percent of all residents of the libyan capital don't have enough water and electricity. due to technical problems they say emphasizing that not related to the fight scenes on the streets the city indeed faces severe shortages of food and medicine as well and electricity even here in the corinthia hotel where we are staying and where most of the foreign journalists are staying there is no water and this day water free day here in egypt is very complicated and people are struggling moreover the safety situation is also. it's quite dangerous on the streets right now people are afraid to leave their homes i have to say to emphasize that people are trying to do their best to improve the situation there themselves they're clearing the streets here organizing checkpoints on the roads to. check all the cars but of course they're

concerned that. their phones are not enough to improve the situation meanwhile what we're hearing from world health organization and the u.n. they expect to send humanitarian aid and maybe weeks happen that will help improve the situation here in tripoli and he said. art is room for national live from tripoli will continue to track developments there in the capital as these events unfold maria thanks for that update. british m.p. very gardener from the main opposition labor party says helping the rebels with their ground assault went way beyond the terms of the un resolution on libya you can watch his full interview in just over twenty minutes but here's a preview. it was very clear in the original un resolution it was very clear when our prime minister spoke in parliament here

that there would be no little creation force one of the things that troubled me all was this speaker can reasonably say as to whether there should be any troops on the ground as the rebels were going into tripoli we would go they go they go left these instructions being yelled up by obviously british soldiers british personnel who were leading back to advance a group. that i think is where we've overstepped the line. meanwhile in syria violence continued throughout the weekend activists claiming at least five people were killed arab league members have urged syria to end of bloodshed an official statement it was rejected in the nastiest where it was described as a relation of the organization's principles later though the country's leader bashar asad announced

a new law lifting censorship and granting freedom of expression parties really go to scott went to the syrian town like here to see for herself what's tearing the country apart. like that kid there is a special significance for syria and for the president bashar last said his father is from a village near the city in which the population is predominantly elevated just like the rest of the province the process began here in march of this year this is one of the main buildings this is one of the main squares in the city of latakia with the syria tell. headquarters located on the right in the middle of it syria tell us a company telephone kompany which was owned why one of the cousins of the president and the protesters expressed their hatred towards the regime by looting the place and then burning it violence returned to the top again just a couple of weeks ago claiming more than thirty lives antigovernment protests broke out in the sunni part of the city officials said they were about going with armed

groups which they say have infiltrated the area now what's the story here the story goes according to the protesters according to the opposition answer majority of the main western media sources is that there were warships stationed right here in this bay and they were shelling the sunni part of the town which is all along the coastline right over there and the middle of that part of the town is the palestinian camp but you have to keep in mind that according to the u.s. administration who are obviously wanted to in this situation there were no warships stationed in this debate on the seventeenth of august or earlier on the surface it seems to be life as usual but once you take a closer look signs of unrest com three so we got to the sunni part of the town and there are no signs of any fire coming from this side of the sea where supposedly ships were there differently signs of battle you can see by the bullet holes in the walls of the. story provoking forces so.

some buildings were damaged but not significantly some people unwilling to speak on camera gave us views critical of the assad regime saying the government is to blame for failing to deliver on five month old promises of reforms this they see force the people are loose streets storing up protests the reluctance of people to be interviewed may not be surprising given that we were accompanied by unarmed military escorts throughout our trip if this point it's pretty clear to say that syria is at the crossroads people are scared and that here is the only. thing that is holding this nation together if you meant that we're keeping ourselves our main goal seems to cherish each other opponents when well like that how can we blame the president what do they mean free syria whom from what we know the source of all problems no one can guarantee the next president will be better we may just end up like another iraq from attack in syria if i gotta go r.t. . pressure has been growing on president assad with european countries proposing

hitting the regime with new sanctions but russia says they won't help and has called on both sides in the country to negotiate the russian ambassador to the u.n. said reaching an agreement will be tough. if there are some constructive ideas from all corners well prepared to absorb them but of course simply you know marrying the two would go i could do different species from different planets to come out on to the free video section of our website to watch this interview and call at our t. dot com. free. free. free. free. free. free. free volunteer video for your media project real john darche time to time.

everything going to hell even more hellish is the sight of a city looting itself landmark buildings and foreclosed homes are gutted for survival very grown the weight of the little steel but you know if you were to go to work in addition to scrappers an increasing number of cash working americans. are treated in goods. greenbacks guy in the lexus what is that a suit and tie and a little brass lamp where you know he's not into the like the recycling kind of guy who grew short of money the u.s. president promised things would be better for america's car making capital after the two thousand and nine fifty billion dollar bailout general motors and chrysler are automakers are in the midst of their strongest period of job growth in more than a decade since g.m. and chrysler emerged from bankruptcy the industry has created more than seventy five thousand new jobs for the first time in six years ford g.m.

correspondent in the u.s. it's probably going irene's trail of the storm is now leaving america's east coast and moving to canada we've got the latest videos on planes as they happen also they're. included on a plane some belongs to my people. just like my own systems are to recognize any transit. the party has got hold of a previously on scene one thousand nine hundred five interview with rock of the lot it's the x. follow me and third commander now faces charges of genocide hate he gave his view of what happened in every need so during the bosnian war and the full interview it's available right now for you at artsy dot com. well back to our top story now let's get some more reaction on what's been happening in libya our teeth military contributor you get a clue so that's a blow delta the country's economy by the conflict will lie on native soldiers.

what from the outset was supposed to be french intelligence covert mission and indeed it could have been resulted successfully in a palace coup with the minimal damage to the civilian population and effectively their ranging air regime change we've been minimum loss of life and property in libya turned out to be of their main and later is a disaster for the west in general and for nato specific role and as a result of nato a half a year of humanitarian bombing libya has suffered in numerable casualties and we do a huge blow to the levy an economy which has yet to be calculated in measurable terms in total accordance with general powell's doctrine if you broke it you own it so now here comes this second part of the levy and suffer under the tutelage guidance and stewardship of the nato stakeholders of the

libyan oil fields. coming up to twenty minutes past the hour a look now at more international stories from across the globe a suicide bombing has rocked the largest sunni mosque in the iraqi capital baghdad killing at least twenty nine people and injuring dozens more no group has yet claimed responsibility for the attack it followed a series of blasts in the city which left six dead silence has fallen in iraq the peak of five years ago but attacks remain common at least two hundred fifty people were killed by extremists in the country in july. brands ruling party has elected finance minister yoshihiko noda as its new leader who will become the country's prime minister and five candidates were running to replace the outgoing. who confirmed his resignation on friday as

a ministration came under fire over its response to the earthquake and tsunami there earlier this year and the ensuing nuclear crisis. and tearing through the philippines where it killed twelve people at a time food has now slammed into taiwan has done more than half a meter of rain in the mountainous south the area prone to catastrophic landslides it's prompted the evacuation of eight thousand people from the region the typhoon is now heading for the eastern chinese coast. but forget the whole jeeves the seychelles or anywhere else if you're looking for a really exclusive holiday you should be looking beyond our part it a russian company is building a new hotel in space which is scheduled to open in just five years time and is daria pushed over found out with a million dollar price tag a good view is guaranteed. there is getting away from it all and then there's this the first of a hotel floating in space could be the ultimate escape and according to its

creators this is an instance fantasy stance on the war in europe which will launch the commercial space station entering two sixteen and receiver first guests and twenty seven seniors designed to host seven guests the most it is likely to become the most exclusive boutique hotel in the world tell you that the hotel will be far more comfortable than the current international space station used by cosmonauts and astronauts guests will be able to enjoy an individual cabin a shower cubicle instead of a sponge bath those aboard the i says have to do with toilets with flowing and instead of water due to weightlessness visitors will only be able to sleep in the bags attached to the walls but there's a choice to sleep only some type of vertical as for the food it is promised to be delicious cooked the wood was here almost it will be a super de luxe trip everything has to be top level so just getting there will be

an adventure in itself in days on board a russian so you spacecraft and a chance to rub shoulders with real astronauts to the hotel will be used as an emergency retreat in case of a crisis on the international space station i think everybody sort of the chance if they get it to go to space it will be in the future but in making the first steps now thirty three year old leave guinea want to qantas to become the country's first space tourist and maybe lined up for nothing more than a suborbital flight that fee says it's just the start so much to both of them to the old boy's dream of hers to feel lonely fewer felt like there are so many restrictions that can prevent you from goals for example health or money. a luxury room in one of the world's leading hotels certainly has its advantages having to choose between. sleeping vertically or sleeping here i'd certainly go with these cushions but there's one thing about space hotel but even the most luxurious place

on the planet won't be able to be and that is the view from the window after all that's what most people build their own view of planet earth in all its beauty. archie moscow. up next is the latest in business with kareena stay with r.t. . hello welcome to play this latest volatility in the markets has seen russia have a five year high weekly outflow analysts from emerging portfolio fund research say that point investors took almost five hundred million dollars out of the country that's quarter of the total emerging markets outflow during the period market players say the situation is partly due to the growing market share of exchange traded funds they were the ones to lose seventy three percent of the stocks. turning to the markets now oil prices

foreign giants to develop the russian market the country's leading chains expanding like need of post and second quarter results showing a fifty percent increase in net income x five retail group says it wants to cash in on the russian market potential. retail chains hold less than thirty percent of the market developed countries this figure reaches eighty percent so it's more interesting for russian retailers to realize this potential by themselves when the market is saturated maybe it will make more sense to cooperate with some foreign majority saying it. that's our business update for this hour joining me for more in about twenty five minutes from. six.
