good morning to you live from our headquarters here in central moscow you're watching are two 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 are rare for an arson is in tripoli and will be joining us shortly we help in the program well meanwhile mideast expert dan 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 in twenty ten get there he made a proposal to the african union that was adopted the fact that no african country would allow u.s. space on its soil since that time the u.s. has been desperate to get rid of gadhafi when you talk about the rebels that this is a very disparate group of people really who's calling the shots is nato few 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 we hear from these people there he says it may take place the libyan state we the same as what's replaced the state in iraq and afghanistan which is a dysfunctional government complete lack of security gang warfare and civil war and this is not a mistake for nato 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 fighting for the t.n.c. really need to understand that this is nato his vision for their country may need to wake up and seeing that they're being used. 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.

in libya. most important of course libyan oil clearly the rebels. the western powers initially there were a few demonstrations of course. of course the western powers and. there's not just the military of the pushing they have also increasingly weapons on the ground for the rebels they have also supported them with question forces from britain even the united states will go giving them training. before an improvement centrally what was before the rebellion like the egyptian rebellion or the tunisian. roof an arsenal is in tripoli and now joins us live of course the rebels in libya rejecting the possibility of negotiations with

gadhafi they want to see him in jail not at the table what more are the rebels saying about their stance on this issue. while 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 they can provide him they say is safety and trial the rebels information minister. has said that if even if gadhafi personally calls him and asks want to 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 freeze and not talks that is a had for the embattled colonel. gadhafi government spokesperson mo saved. game has sent a message to the rubbles about his readiness to hold talks with the rubbles on forming her the transitional government has even sad that khadafi appoints his third son

saadi to lead these negotiations but we have to say that khadafi is not right now in a position to negotiate he's not in a strong position at all because the rabble is our progress and quite well this statement comes just a week after their brilliant assault on the libyan capital tripoli as a result they are virtually control in most of this city they are actually right now controlling most of the can treat as about saif gadhafi is not at all in a position to negotiate or to to offer something to the rubbles and that's clear and this is what the rubbles have been saying these days meanwhile. claiming that they are preparing for what they call the final battle an assault on khadafi is last stronghold could his home town of a city 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 all only and the reason. there is a chance that they will not be the operation only if. the negotiations with those who support gadhafi in the capital city agreed to surrender and as far as we know in the rebels are saying that because she's with them underway right now but. if they don't agree with the next two days the mill will start and he says 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. while the situation here in truthful. 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 is a third day water free day here in this illustration 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 cleaning the streets they are organizing checkpoints on the roads to. check all the cars but of course they're concerned that. their friends 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 back that that will help improve the situation here in tripoli and he said. art is room for national live from tripoli will continue to keep track of developments there in the capital as these events unfold maria thanks for that update. well british 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 patient force one of the things that troubled me all i was

was this speaker and reasonably as to whether there should be troops on the ground as the rebels were going into tripoli we. go in there go they go left these instructions being yelled up by obviously british soldiers british personnel who were leading that advance group now that i think is where we've overstepped the line. meanwhile in syria violence continued throughout the weekend with activists claiming at least five people were killed arab league members have urged syria to end the bloodshed an official statement that was rejected in damascus where it was described as a violation of the organization's principles later though the country's leader bashar also announced a new law lifting censorship and granting freedom of expression argues rina go to

scott went to the syrian town here to see for herself what's tearing the country apart. like alcubierre 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 protests began here in march of this here this is one of the main buildings this is one of the main squares in the city of latakia with syria telling. located on the right in the middle of it syria tel is a company telephone company which was owned by 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 talk again just a couple of weeks ago claiming more than thirty lives and to government protests broke out in the sunni part of the city officials said they were battling with armed groups which they say have a full treated the area now what's the story here the story goes according to the

protesters according to the opposition answer majority of the midwestern media sources is that there were warships stationed right here in this bay and there were shelling the sunni part of the town which is all along the coastline right over there and in 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 monitoring the situation there were no warships stationed in this on the seventeenth of august or earlier on the surface it seems to be life as usual but wants to take a closer look signs of unrest come through 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 the forces so that. 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 say forced the people out in the streets stirring up protests the reluctance of people to be interviewed may not be surprising given that we were accompanied by unarmed military escort throughout our trip at this point it's pretty clear to say that syria is at the crossroads people are scared and that fear is the only. thing that is holding this nation together but if you meant that we're keeping ourselves our main goal seems to cherish each other opponent when we're like that how can we blame the president what do they mean free syria from whom from what we know the source of all problems no one can guarantee the next president with the better you just end up like another iraq from attack in syria if we got our team. pressure has been growing on president assad with european countries proposing heading 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 two different planets you can log on to the free video section of our website to watch this interview in full at r t v dot com. three. three. three. three blog video for your media project. r t v dot com. there was a valid outs they reap the rewards but it seems the financial recovery of america's

indeed it could have been resulted successfully in a palace coup with the minimal damage to the civilian population and effectively arranging a regime change with a minimum loss of life and property in libya turned out to be of the main and later is disaster for the west in general and for nato specific and as a result of nato half a year of humanitarian bombing libya has suffered in numerable casualties and a huge blow to the libyan economy which shows 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 the second part of the libyan safir 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 violence 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. durans ruling party has elected finance minister yoshihiko noda as its new leader who will become the country's prime minister five candidates were running to replace the outgoing president. who confirmed his resignation on friday there's 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 times food has now slammed into taiwan its don't more than half a meter of rain in the mountainous south the area prone to catastrophic landslides has prompted the evacuation of eight thousand people from the region the typhoon is now heading for the eastern chinese coast. well forget the mall deaves the seychelles or anywhere else if you're looking for a really exclusive holiday you should be looking beyond our planet a russian company is building a new hotel in space which is scheduled to open in just five years time and as diapers go over found out with the million dollar price tag good of you is guaranteed. there is getting away from it all and there is this the first and a hotel fluting in space could be the ultimate escape and according to this is new

space fantasy. we launched you can. marshall space station in twenty sixteen and receive our first guests in twenty seventeen years designed to host seven guests at 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 balls those aboard the ice says have to do with and toilets with flowing and instead of water due to weightlessness visitors will only be able to sleep in the bags attached to the walls where there is a choice to sleep or eat some type of vertically as for the food it is promised to be delicious with the woods boss here on this it will be a super de luxe trip everything has to be top level. just getting there will be an adventure in itself two days on board of russian so you spacecraft and

a chance to rub shoulders with the 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 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 he may be lined up for nothing more than a suborbital flight but he says it's just the start so much to do some of the things that all boys dream of this fuel would only fuel felt but there are so many restrictions that can prevent you from goals space 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 for these questions but there's one thing about space hotel that even the most luxurious place on the planet won't be able to beat and that is the me from the

window after all that's what most people go there for the view of planet earth in all its beauty gary pushed over r.t. moscow up next is the latest in business with kareena stay with r.t. . hello welcome top business update this hour the latest volatility in the markets has seen russia have a five year high in its weekly outflow and analysts from emerging portfolio fund research say that foreign investors took almost five hundred million dollars out of the country that's a 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. turning to the markets now oil prices a makes the song that topped oil refineries and terminals along the u.s. east coast weathered the worst of republican storm season fears of fuel supply

disruptions. let's look at the precious metals gold is extending its two point two percent rally in the previous session that's up to investors faced with uncertainties only us federal reserve stimulus plans to take some money off the table and silver is also up trading at around forty forty six dollars forty one dollars talk about the per ounce. most asian stock markets started the week on a positive note following friday's rounds on wall street the reserve chairman ben bernanke's speech encouraged buys games in japan are limited by strong yen pressuring profits exporters meanwhile hong kong's hang seng is supported by stronger energy stocks china's refining giant snowpack rose almost five percent after posting strong closed results at last. and russia's r.t.s. start of the week on a positive note as well rising over two percent energy and banking stocks the main gainers demise it's will open soon on friday it gained over percent.

now it promises to be a fairly quiet week for the russian markets there will be shades of disappointment that the chairman of the federal reserve did not announce new stimulus measures on friday while the nash from verna capital believes that the focus will shift back to the trouble state of europe's economy. emerging markets will be disappointed by what happened on friday they really enjoyed q e two you know imagine markets had a fantastic period of performance after q e two and i think now markets will start emerging markets will start to focus on what's happening in europe actually because that is really where the risk is at the moment russia stock markets will probably be pretty much flat i don't expect it to be any reaction we already had the reaction on friday evening and it was fairly muted so you know there'll be looking for leadership again how it's all of europe. russia retails don't want help from foreign giants to develop the russian market the country's leading chains x five

unlike need have posted second quarter results showing a fifty percent increase in that 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 while in developed countries this figure reaches eighty percent or 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 jordan's with its annual. that's our business update for this hour joining me from war in about forty five minutes from . coming to.
