markets long enough to. find out what's really happening to the global economy comes a report on r.g.p. . libyan rebels just miss colonel who got us all three of the talks the people in tripoli struggled to bring their lives to normal following last week's your fighting. project in syria continues despite promises of past reforms are to go to see what's fuelling the grass is one city torn apart by violence. and the ultimate her treat a russian company plans to open the first ever space hotel in just five years and we'll look at what exactly the on earth pleasure dome comes to.

life from our studios in central moscow you're watching r t with me and he said now it's two pm here in the russian capital twelve noon in tripoli where 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 archies rufa notion is in the libyan capital. but we are hearing here in tripoli from the rattlesnake's 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 even if gadhafi personally calls him and asks when you go she says he will not. 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 for the embattled colonel earlier. duffy is government

spokesperson most able again has sent a message to the rubbles about her conduct his readiness to hold talks with the rebels on forming the transitional government and he's even sad that gadhafi 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 rattles our progress and why well this statement comes just a week after the assault on the libyan capital tripoli as a result their version of control in most of this city they actually right now controlling most of the cabinetry as well the situation here in tripoli i would describe this situation as humanitarian disaster to 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 this is not related to the fight scenes on the streets the city indeed faces severe

shortages of food and medicine as well and in the city even here in carinthia hotel where we are staying and where most of the foreign journalists are staying there is no water and this was her day water free day here in the association is very complicated and people are struggling. artist mary of national they're reporting from tripoli but middle is as part dan glazebrook says nato was 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 give that he 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 but this is a very disparate group of people and really who's calling the shots is major you

leaders that we hear about anatomy jabril rajoub 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 there mark this is a major place a libyan state with 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 a 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 fighting for the t.n.c. really need to understand that this is nato vision of their country we need to wake up and saying that they're being used. to discuss the situation in libya we're now joined live from tripoli by talk to franklin lamb is the director of american or middle east peace dr len talk a little bit about the situation right now in the libyan capital is there any sense

of somewhat of a return to normal life. well not normal in the sense that there is. or that there is electricity everywhere and water is becoming a big problem here for example who can biggest challenge. a lot of. the current. government officials now it's sort of invaded. and they're crammed in with the journalists there's no lottery there for. us so conditions are very bad in terms of. you know the toilets and the kind of things people are going to walk on the street lots and lots of checks and not a lot of fighting that we're aware of i was out this morning going around the experience lots of checkpoints rounding up pros khadafi people for example an eighty six year old shaikh was bundled into our. car last night

he was well known here as a supporter of the regime. there's been protests over that because it is aging and condition you probably heard that the locker the. next day he was convicted and not to be is here and i think it's a good. journalist and i've heard just on paper only got on the dock and i grabbed it. without access to medical care for the past eight days but not normalcy but not. people are starting to come out of their own cross. shops open i would say ninety five percent of the shops are still closed in a day or two most fish if they get water and some benzene they're giving out free gasoline in zakayev now but if you get there to get some we heard from

a reliable star so. big five boogaard in june bite. toward a normal. year loss of government. officials and in another hotel yesterday they searched all the rooms looking for a doctor so orders. which told us roughly the situation. from the very beginning of the crisis in libya disinformation seems to have taken hold i did spend difficult to establish what's happening on the ground what is true i know this is targeted at you personally as well i mean in twitter people claiming they are working with nato that you're working against the libyan people how damaging has this been to the public understanding of what's really happening in libya. and yes yes i heard that you said something about your order the claimed white nato

was doing right what did you say. i'm saying that we're getting just so many no friends points of information through social media through twitter you've been targeted as someone who's working with nato and against the libyan people how then do you really grasp what is happening on the ground when there are so many different sources of conflicting information coming out more of libya. you have to understand you know i know nothing about it somebody is criticizing the next group exercise of free speech but i don't have information about that i didn't write recently. you know the wrong ones that are wrong and that's normal. i think we had a pretty good i. out. on the street. that's and i think that people hear it now and especially in the last two days i would say.

meaning that when the rebels moved again things were tied and saw the fire in your neighborhood as it stands really calm down but over the past ten weeks that i've been here we are very obvious a good act that's true the streets are out of the media did not the right media because they were you know minded by people in the ranks as hotel but but at the radisson or i was and i was and by the guys in rights organization here are the. x. c. which stands for the act and in commission. we were quite free to move around so i think as much as we can get out and see. that we have got a good insight and possibly good contacts here but there's always lots going on behind doors and inside villages and certain neighborhoods which it takes a lot again you know if you get a good understanding but now at this time well as i said there was

a new government is just coming in going i wrote a piece and i think i and two going to be our people there and not just a little not to our friends i shocked it turning to my own cell which was the radisson and how you know that i'm playing a cage and that's a little bit choppy i was surprised. in a way because i didn't really think much about it in advance and i think back to that i think the degree to which you're getting and i'm here in the middle of next year unless we spend all our time and close proximity and share reports and i think the information getting out from the current the hotel and. whatever it's called the radisson. you know. right dr franklin lamb live from tripoli via broadband thank you very much for updating us on what's happening on the ground . but british m.p.

barry gardiner 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 the full interview with him later this hour in twenty minutes time but here's a preview. it was very clear in the original un resolution it was very clear for our prime minister spoke in parliament here that there would be no patience for one of the things that troubles me all this was the speaker and reasonably 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 for what 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 security forces have reportedly surrounded the central town of rust which has become a stronghold of dissidents it calls week of violence in the country with activists saying at least five people were killed arab league members have urged syria to end the bride sat in the fischel statement it was rejected in damascus where it was described as a violation of organizations principles later told the country's leader bashar asad i moused a new iran lifting censorship and granting freedom of expression artie's arena go whoosh co-parents of the syrian town of rock park here to see for herself what's tearing the country apart. look like here 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 elegant 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 the syria tell headquarters located on the right in the middle of it syria tell is a company telephone company which was always why one of the cousins of the president and the protesters expressed their hatred to war. there is in high looting the place and then burning it violence returned to the attack here again just a couple of weeks ago claiming more than thirty lives into government protests broke out in the sunni part of the city officials said they were battling 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 western media sources is that there were warships stationed right here in this day and there 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 monitoring the situation there were no warships

stationed in this day 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 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 but there are definitely signs of battle you can see by the bullet holes in the walls in the market. 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 forced the people out in the streets storing up protests the reluctance of people to be interviewed may not be surprising given that we were accompanied by an armed military escort throughout our trip from attack in syria.

r.t. . pressure has been growing on president are slowly 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. churkin said reaching an agreement will be tough. if there are some constructive ideas from all callings were prepared to absorb them but of course simply you know marrying that you will go i go to different species from different planets. we are going to the free video section of our website to watch this interview and all it argues are probably. going to take three. three. three. three. three. three volunteer videos for your media

seven thousand designed to host seven guests at the most it is likely to become heaven and sticks comes a boutique hotel in the world. 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 storage boss and those aboard the i says have to do with and toilets with flowing and instead of water and you can weightless as this it is will only be able to sleep in the bags attached to the walls where there is a choice to sleep there is some type of vertically as for the food it is promised to be delicious of the woods was here on this it will be a super de luxe true everything has to be top level so just getting there will be an adventure in itself and days on board a 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 do you 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 must the old boys dream of this to feel what only a few have felt but there are so many restrictions that can prevent you from goals for example health or money and that's certainly something that is likely to become a stumbling block the most earth well as the cost of the. trip at the moment the estimate price of twenty seventeen starts at about sixteen million dollars only it is in search of a really rich individuals or corporations interested in their own space research it could also be an interesting options for states which don't have a national space program but we can offer them a really good deal there's. 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 cushions but there's one thing about space hotel that even the most luxurious place on the planet won't be able to read and that is the be from the window after all that's what most people go there for the view of planet earth in all its beauty gary r.t. moscow. business is lax with kareena here an artist there with us. i don't look into business the soft be uncertainty plaguing the world's financial markets pushed capital outflow to a five year high last week analysts from emerging portfolio fund research say foreign investors took almost five hundred million dollars out of russia that's a quarter of the total emerging markets hopeful during the period. oh prices and

a lot of value in russian stocks i think right now you need to be where safety is the best liquidity so that's gazprom and rolls yeah maybe spare bank was bad bank has been performing quite poorly recently it is stocks that provide some kind of protection at the moment although you know quite frankly i would be sitting in cash . and russian retailers don't want help from foreign giants to develop the russian market the country's leading chains x five another need have posted second quarter results showing a fifty percent increase in net income expired retail group says it wants to cash in on the russian market potential tough for people who are in pretty good retail chains hold less than thirty percent of the market fall into philips 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 them for a majority. well that's all just myself and for this album to join me in about
