you're watching are to with me 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 artie's reform is in the libyan capital. 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 even if gadhafi personally calls him and asks when they go she says he will. never talk to him he has added that the rebels are not negotiating with the criminals and with the killers and present not talks that is a had for the inveterate colonel earlier. duffy is government spokesperson most able to gain has sent a message to the rubbles about his readiness to hold talks with the rubbles on

forming the traditional 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 is not in a strong position at all because the rattles are progressing quite well this statement comes just a week after the 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 about 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 in for sizing this is not related to the fight scenes on the streets the city indeed faces severe shortages of for. food and medicine as well and an extra city even here in. green

sierra hotel where we are staying anywhere most of the foreign journalists are staying there is no water and this is day water free day here in crete this illustration is very complicated and people are struggling to. parties where for an arson of their reporting from tripoli well middle east expert 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 in twenty ten get there he made a proposal to the african union that was adopted look at that no african country would allow us based on its soil since that time the u.s. has been desperate to get rid of gadhafi when we 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 when we hear from these people they're mouthpieces that may take place the 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 from 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. to discuss the situation in libya we're now joined live from tripoli by and dr franklin lamb is the director of americans for middle east peace dr len tell us 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. carinthia with those government officials now it's sort of and they did vote. and they're crammed in with the journalists there's no water neither for. the conditions are very bad in terms of. you know the toilets and not kind of thing people are bringing in bottled water on the streets lots and lots of checkpoints not a lot of fighting that we're aware of this morning going around. lots of checkpoints rounding up pros khadafi people for example an eighty six year old shaikh was bundled into our. car last night and 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 lockerbie the. next day he was convicted and not to be is here and is being visited by. journalists and i've heard just on that they finally got him a doctor and rest here without access to medical care. for the past eight days but not normalcy but. people are starting to come on their own process. it's a couple 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 benzine they're giving out free gas and looting in zakayev now but if you get there to get some we heard from

a real live you star so. i think they are inching back to. normal but you know lots of government. officials popping in and out of the hotel yesterday they searched all the rooms looking for gadhafi supporters. who told us roughly the situation. from the very beginning of the crisis in libya disinformation seems to have taken hold i know it's been difficult to establish what's happening on the ground what is true i know this has targeted you personally as well i mean in twitter people claiming that you're 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 and you said something about twitter. claimed what nato was doing what are what you're saying. i'm saying that we're getting so many no friend of 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 of libya. you know so i understand now i know nothing about it so i mean it's great it's not me that's group exercise of free speech but i don't have information about that i did write recently. you know the romans. and that's normal. i think we have a pretty good i. on the street. and i think that people here now do especially in the last two days i would say. meaning that when the rebels moved in and things were tightened

a lot of fire in different neighborhoods that substantially calmed down but over the past ten weeks that i've been here we we always had a good access through the streets. although the media did not the right media because they were reminded by people in the rexus hotel but but at the radisson where i was and i was in by the palestinian rights organization here called the. city which stands for the fact finding commission. we were quite free to move around so i think as much as we can get out and see. that act that we have a good fairly good in the setting possibly immensely good contacts here but there's always lots going on behind doors and inside buildings inside and in certain neighborhoods which it takes a while to get. you know to get a good understanding but now at this hot dogs as i said a lot of new government officials coming and going i wrote a piece that i think i sent to read of your people there and mosque and just

a little nod to our friends about my shopping returning to my old hotel which was the radisson and. the. cage and that's a little bit shops are surprising. in a way because i didn't really think much about it in advance i didn't like that but i think the degree to which you're getting and i'm here in the middle and cheering us we spend all our time and post 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. all right dr franklin lamb live from tripoli via broadband thank you very much for updating us on what's happening on the ground . well 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 when our prime minister spoke in parliament here that there would be no patient force one of the things that troubled me all this was this is speaking reasonably soon as to whether there should be troops on the ground as the rebels were going into tripoli we. go they go they go left these instructions being yelled up by for all views to 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 for dissidents it follows weekend violence in the country with activists saying at least five people were killed arab league members have urged syria to end the bloodshed in an official statement it was rejected in damascus where it was described as a violation of the organization's principle later though the country's leader bashar asad i denounced a new law lifting censorship and granting freedom of expression artie's arena go to scott went to the syrian town of la to see for herself what's tearing the country apart. look like a bear is just. 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 it 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 syria

tell headquarters 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 the top again just a couple of weeks ago claiming more than thirty lives and 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 midwestern 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 monitoring the situation there were no warships stationed in this base 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 there differently signs of battle you can see by the bullet holes in the walls in the market. 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 a five month old promises of reforms this they see. force the people are storing up protests there a lot 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 if we got r.t. . pressure has been growing on president under with european countries proposing

seems the financial recovery of america's car industry hasn't filtered down onto the streets of its auto making capital to trade his home to the country's big three car companies but many of its citizens lead a life on the margins of society as our report found out. this was once a city that symbolized america's innovation and manufacturing might. but today detroit is the third most violent city in the u.s. with unemployment estimated at up to fifty percent according to officials the once glamorous motor city now has more people living in poverty than cars on the streets home foreclosures continue flight to the suburbs which takes the tax base away from the city and there's more and more of that the decline in the school system.

is making people leave the city and so there's no money here really in there no there are no jobs here and as the u.s. census points out. a quarter of a million people have left detroit in the past ten years the economic scars of this once a vibrant city are impossible to escape roughly sixty thousand vacant buildings and thirty five thousand abandoned homes lined the streets of detroit hollow shells of america's former middle class which have ignited an industry of scrappers people who strip these properties of copper wire and steel pipes as a means of income. scrappers swap ruins for profit at yards like this just five miles out of detroit scrap yard owner albert says he sees new faces every day deliberately they get the kind of survive. making everything gonna have even

more hellish is the sight of a city looting itself landmark buildings and foreclosed homes are gutted for survival go around and wait up to little scale bring to sligo or in addition to scrappers an increasing number of cash jobs working americans. are treating goods for greenbacks guy in the lex luthor suit and tie and low brass lamb and you know he's not into the. recycling kind of guy when he broke 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 to general motors and chrysler or 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. and chrysler are all operating at a profit g.m.

begin his term in office if you don't choose a day replacing the outgoing premier. confirmed his resignation last week is a ministration came under fire over its response to the earthquake and tsunami earlier this year and the nuclear crisis that followed. after tearing through the philippines where it killed twelve people our time foon has now slammed into taiwan it's down to more than half a meter of rain into the mountainous south area prone to catastrophic once lies its promise of the evacuation of some eight thousand people from the region and the typhoon is now heading for the eastern chinese coast. the wayward emperor penguin known to the world as happy feet has left a zoo in wellington not on the first leg of his journey back to cooler antarctic waters the penguin was found on a new zealand beach in june one thousand of kilometers from his natural feeding grounds he was moved to the zoo after becoming ill from eating sound that it's

thought he mistook for snow happy feet will be kept cool with sixty buckets of ice water spending four days at sea before being released. well forget the mall or the seychelles or any. or else in fact 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 due to open in five years time and as daria prisco are found out with an astronomical sixty million dollars price tag a good view has got to be guaranteed. there is getting away from it all and then there is this the first of a hotel floating in space could be the ultimate escape and according to its creators this is no space fantasy stance from a boy in europe which will launch the commercial space station in twenty sixteen and receive our first guests in twenty seventeen lish 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 i says have to do with and toilets with flowing and instead of water due to weightlessness this is really only be able to sleep in the bags attached to the walls but there's a choice to sleep horizontal or vertical as for the food it is promised to be delicious with the woods once you're 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 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 guinea want to contest to become the country's first space tourist they may be lined up for nothing more than a suborbital flight. he says it's just the start so much of the old boy's dream of this feel would only if you were felt but there are so many restrictions that can prevent you from golden space for example health or money and that's certainly something that is likely to become a stumbling block for most earth dwellers the cost of the trip at the moment the estimate price for twenty seventeen starts at about sixty million dollars. it is indeed 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. 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 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 dare you pushed over party moscow. business is next with kareena here in our stay with us. how about them to business the soft be uncertainty plaguing the world's financial markets pushed capital outflow to a five year high last week and lows from emerging portfolios fund research say foreign investors took almost five hundred million dollars out of russia that's a quarter of the total emerging markets all closed during the period. oil prices a makes the saw that tough to oil refiners and terminals along the u.s.

east coast whether in the course of a tropical storm easing fears of fuel supply disruptions looking at precious metals now gold is lowers us out losing nine dollars twenty cents but still trading high of one thousand eight hundred seventeen dollars per one and so was trading at around forty one dollars per ounce stocks in europe trading is to spend as long the markets are closed for holiday week stocks among the strongest performers with the main index growing seven percent financials on leaving the gain societe generale up two point six percent and. three point nine percent and russian markets are trading higher as well the r.t.s. is gaining community three percent of my states is up over two percent a quick look at some individual share moves on them isaac's banking stocks are among the best performers this burbank over three percent truck make a come ons is gaining as well the company has posted at three and a half million dollars for us to come from that profit against almost thirty

million dollars losses last year and out of just the producer o.j. case six is also on the company's net profit rose fifty three percent in the first of the year. in the world's largest island when you produce a rule sol has reported results below expectations for the second quarter net profit declined seventy percent to three hundred forty million dollars as costs are passed a price. as in production however the russian companies posited the future expect the man to call thirteen percent this year pinning its hopes on domestic markets and fellow and marking economists. as the markets are travelling in a turbulent zone all on national capital i'd buy this to buckle up with water liquid stocks i think at the moment you should really be opting for safety. there's a lot of volatility at the moment so although there's a lot of value in russian stocks i think right now you need to be looking where

safety is the best liquidity so that stands broad munro's yeah maybe spangler's bank has been performing quite poorly recently it 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 and mug need have posted 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 itself. she were in pretty good 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 majority so anyway. well that's all but that's all for this do join me in about forty five minutes from now for.
