it's three pm in moscow this is r t coming to you live now with our top story this hour 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 happen to go shooting table artie's river notion has the latest from tripoli. 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 a of gadhafi personally called 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 praise and not talks that is a had for the embattled colonel earlier. duffy is government spokesperson most a bit again has sent a message to the rabble about his readiness to hold talks with the rabble on forming her that 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's 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 control in most of this city they are actually right now controlling most of that can treat as well the situation here in tripoli i would describe this situation as humanitarian disaster the tripoli council has said that from sixty to seventy. cent 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 fight scenes on the streets the city indeed faces severe shortages of food and medicine as well and any city even here in corinthia hotel where we are staying and where most of the foreign journalists are staying there is no water and listen to her day water free day here in crete there so this is very complicated and people are struggling. well middle east expert dan goings 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 their feet made a proposal to the african union that was adopted that no african country would allow us based on its soil since that time the us has been desperate to get rid of

gadhafi when we talk about the rebels as this is a very disparate group of people really who's calling the shots is nato few leaders that we hear about my commute jabril abdul julio 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 mouthpieces that nato will replace the libyan state with 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 from nato they would prefer to see failed states and states powerful and independent and able to challenge their jimminy 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 for their country they need to wake up and seeing that they're being used. and dr franklin lamb of from americans for middle east peace is currently in tripoli and believes nato will not leave

libya anytime soon. i think nato allies are now part of the libyan interim different form. until there's a new stronger leadership here that's not beholden to it. and who becomes arguably more nationalistic on the street martin last check winds not a lot of fighting that we're aware of this morning going around the streets lots of checkpoints surrounding our. adopted people for example in any two year old she was mumbling through our. on in our last night for your loss of government . our tissues popping in and out of the hotel yesterday they searched around the room looking for the people of foreigners. 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 next hour but here's a preview. if 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 was this speaking unreasonably as to whether there should be troops on the ground as the rebels were going into tripoli we. go in they go they go left these instructions being yelled up by obviously british soldiers british personnel who were leading that advance group and now that i think is where we've overstepped the line.

meanwhile in syria security forces have reportedly surrounded the central town of rock star which has become a stronghold for dissidents and followers we can violence in the country with activists saying at least five people were killed while arab league members have urged syria to end the bloodshed in a forceful statement it was rejected in damascus where it was described violation of organizations principle later about the country's leader bashar al assad announced a new law lifting censorship and granting freedom of expression archies arena glooskap went to the syrian town of attack you see for herself what's tearing the country apart. latakia bears a special significance for syria and for the president bashar asad his father is from a village near the city in which the population is predominantly elevate just like the rest of the province the protests began here in march of this year this is one of. main buildings this is one of the main squares in the city of latakia syria tel

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 give 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 force the people are 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 from attack in syria. art. pressure has been growing on president assad with european countries proposing hitting the
