market. find out what's really happening in the global economy for a no holds barred look at the global financial headlines. was a report on our. tours on our team the water and food shortages to bring it live here to the brink of a humanitarian crisis as the opposition again says it will not negotiate with a fugitive colonel gadhafi. enough is enough moscow says bloodshed in syria must and immediately and once the opposition not to stray from political dialogue if it truly believes that a peaceful state. surviving on the scraps while u.s. carmakers who once received bailout certain now reaping the rewards more and more locals into detroit are forced to deal in scrap just to make ends meet. or real out of this world experience a russian built orbital hotel is due to be put into space in just five years but

those with cash to splash with a perfect view. it's just after six pm here in the russian capital and you're watching r t now efforts are underway in libya to try to restore water and electricity supplies in tripoli rebel leaders have asked nato countries to protect their teams trying to repair basic services well they've also once again rejected the possibility of holding talks with one market off the marquis's maybe if an option that is in the capital where a humanitarian crisis is unfolding. what we're hearing here in tripoli from the rubbles makes their position absolutely clear they will no be any negotiations with gadhafi and all they can provide him they say is safety and fair trial the rebels information minister. has said that if even if gadhafi personally calls him and

asks when they go she says he will not never talk to him he has added beds and the rebels are not negotiating with the criminals and with the killers and prison not talks but as a had for the embattled colonel gadhafi government spokesperson has sent a message to the rebels and gadhafi is readiness to hold talks with the rebels on forming. government this statement comes just a week after the rebels assault on the libyan capital tripoli as a result they are virtually controlling most of the city they're actually right now controlling most of the country as well split 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 size in the

it's not related to fight scenes on the streets the city indeed faces severe shortages of food and medicine as well and electricity even here in corinthia hotel where we are steyn and where most of the foreign journalists are staying there is no water and this day water free day here in this region is very complicated and people are struggling and dr frankel from americans for middle east he says currently in tripoli and he believes nato will not anytime soon. i think nato is now part of libya in a different form. and tell there's a new stronger leadership here that's not beholden to it. and who becomes i did mean more nationalistic on the street but it was the checkpoints not a lot of fighting where i was out this morning going around the streets

lots of checkpoints rounding up. and down. people for example an eighty six year old shakos bundling brought. in our last night again last the government. officials park and in and out of the hotel yesterday they searched all the room looking for our. borders. now the u.k. has gone beyond the un resolution on libya says a british m.p. very gardener and he's from the opposition labor party have voted against the intervention but you could watch the full interview later this hour 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 lot of patients one of the things that troubled me although it was this speaking i'm reasonably safe as to whether there should be any troops

on the ground as the rebels were going into tripoli we. go let's go they go left these instructions being yelled up by four foot obviously british soldiers british personnel who were leading that advance group and now that i think is where we've overstepped the line. now russia has once again called on the conflicting sides into syria to end the bloodshed then move from the battlefield to the negotiating table that also urged the countries opposition to yield to a peaceful solution as it says this is the only way that will lead to democratic reforms it comes as russia's deputy foreign minister has been meeting with the syrian leadership art is evolution is there and he joins us live now if that russia clearly upping its efforts here to try and broker a peace deal so what else has been a said today. well this is a meeting this is

a reason between the as you have said russia's deputy foreign minister and the syrian president and there are verses a deputy foreign minister had a message from the kremlin to really to the syrian leader and that was that was to seize all violence on all sides in syria and to mediately implement reforms which have been promised by the syrian government to the syrian people since the march of this year when protests have started breaking out now russia has had a special stance on syria ever since the beginning of the end rest in the country the u.i. of the proposed u.n. draft resolution which will seek to implement very stringent sanctions against syria is something that russia does not agree with in fact moscow has come up with its own resolution on syria which does not seek to put any harsh for any harsh sanctions into place but does call an immediate and immediate implementation of all reforms and of course among those reforms among those reforms are something like

something akin to a freedom of speech to have these lamented in the country that is something that hasn't been widely available in syria up until up until now. also among other things russia has also encouraged the opposition leaders to enter a dialogue with the government something which the opposition leaders until now have been refusing to do but that the government has been delivering words least trying to deliver on some of its promises like for example the implementation of freedom of speech just on sunday a new law has been passed in syria which does allow for foreign journalists to come into the country in order to report what is going on on the ground here and that has not been done and up until now and because of that a lot of reports which have been coming from syria have been somewhat confusing and the r.t. crew has gone into one of these one of the towns which has seen some of the largest confrontations between the government and the opposition forces in order to see what is out. we happening there and we brought back this report. let's talk

a bit special significance for syria and for the president bashar lasted his father is from a village near the city in which the population is predominantly calibrate just like the rest of the province the process 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 the syria tell headquarters located on the right in the middle of it syria tell us a company telephone kompany 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 yet 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 treated 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 bay and they were selling this 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 were obviously wanted to be in the situation there were no warships stationed in this space on the seventeenth of august or earlier on the surface it seems to be life as usual but want 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 the polls were ships were there definitely signs of battle you can see by the bullet holes in the walls of the. forces so. some buildings were damaged but. some people unwilling to speak on camera gave us views critical of the assad regime saying the government is to blow. proving to

deliver on five month old promises of reforms this they see for which the people are loose streets 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. . now a helicopter carrying a thirteen people including a senior government official in the north caucasus has crash landed leaving the passengers and the pilots injured the m i eight helicopter came down from a height of ten meters in the republic of. korea at least two people have been seriously injured now the delegation had been due to lay the foundation stone of a cable car for any ski resort in the region string across windsor thought to have played a role in causing the accident now when the us car industry was on its knees it took government intervention to avoid a fatal crash but while the automotive giants are once again reaping the rewards of

sales people living in the country's car capital have gained nothing while detroit is home to america's big three car companies but more and more of its residents lead a life on the margins of society as archy's madina portnoy have 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 then cars on the streets home foreclosures continue flight to the suburbs when she 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 cd and so there's no money here really in there and 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 vibrant city are impossible to escape roughly sixty thousand vacant buildings and thirty five thousand abandoned homes line the streets of detroit hollow shells of america's middle class which have ignited an industry of scrappers people who share these properties of copper wire and steel pipes as a means i think on. scrap or swap ruins for profit at yours like this just five miles out of detroit scrapyard owner albert talat says he sees new faces every day were deliberate way they get the kind of going to make everything gonna go even more hellish is the sight of a city looting itself landmark buildings and foreclosed homes are gutted for

survival very grown and we're going to move but it would go up in addition to scrappers an increasing number of cash strapped working americans. are trading goods. greenbacks the guy in the lexus and we're going to have a good suit and tie a little brass lamb through you know you know into the little recycling kind of guy who wrote 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 for the g.m. and chrysler are all operating at a profit g.m. has reported six straight quarterly profits in chrysler's revenue is said to be up

by thirty percent nearly fourteen billion dollars from last year one of the bill in the people out you valid out the corporation if you bailed out the banks and doesn't need a whole lot because the people who are in the city still don't get those jobs those jobs are still being outsourced in this once great industrial beacon of american ideals were henry ford pioneered the famous model t. production schools police and fire stations now stand a bandit as many americans are reduced to dealing in scrap here are just to make ends meet. party detroit. and president medvedev has far the starters gone or for the rush of parliamentary election race it during a meeting with all the political parties representatives and the southern city of sochi on the side of the crete setting be election day of the fourth of december of this year you also want the parties against adopting dirty tactics like nationalistic extremist slogans in their campaigning also want especially our

various internal policy issues including the appointment of a new st petersburg governor and reform of russia's education system. now the e.u. has called for the. siddons of the european central bank among other officials to stand before a special financial committee as the death plague sweeping the block threatens its very unity all talks which are which are underway focus on halting the spread of contagion as fresh panic would revelations even such economic giants as germany are not immune and other priority is addressing investor concerns finland's demands for collateral could be real a second one hundred sixty billion euro bailout for greece patrick young executive director of the investment firm devi advisors believes the rift between the e.u. nations make it impossible to watch for a meaningful solution to the crisis. this is a fascinating meeting because actually it demonstrates that within the e.u.

itself there is a very very significant struggle and argument over what is the process by which the eurozone needs to be saved the difficulty is that a lot of the politicians and bureaucrats involved simply have been too slow to realize the extent of the problem because they managed to pee and over the cracks for the past five or six years they thought they could keep doing so we keep having these false agreements that signed wonderful everybody says the euro zone crisis is solved and there is within a matter of a few weeks we have a further crisis in another economy and we need more money so there's a very very fundamental argument going on within the european union that the euro zone needs to come together with sensible moves because at the moment they've been throwing money at any possible problems and all they're doing is wallpaper it all for cracks in the edifice in the structure of the building and that just won't do you know the french and the germans are appalled by this whole situation because

they want to try and get together a kind of fuzzy warm solution to what goes on but it's just not realistic the french and the german government want to blame ignorant nasty speculators but actually the speculators are wrong as speculators are people who are looking after your and my tension front money and they see the euro zone as being in danger so there's a very big argument looming today. well if you missed any of our stories you can find them and more on our web site and here's some of what's also there for you right now while you course are working overtime feeling a recent riders a british world war two veteran is with behind bars as well this supporters say he's been a gadget for trying to expose corruption in the legal system. and how about this for a thirst thirst quencher i'll give you a first hand knowledge from a top russian mixologist on how to create a monstrous long island cocktail currently going down a storm in moscow. you're

watching our team now let's look at some world news in brief this hour the u.s. east coast has started clearing up after tropical storm irene ripped through what cities officials say at least twenty people have been killed and millions of homes left without power the downgrade of hurricane caused the destruction to new york subway services as well though the devastation there is much less than expected irene is now approaching be canadian at north east. at least thirty five people have been killed in a series of bomb attacks across iraq the most violent blast rocked the largest sunni mosque in western baghdad claiming twenty eight lives explosions calm as the muslim world celebrates ramadan no one has claimed responsibility for the flurry of

violence a low and out of al qaeda linked group had promised attacks during the holy month. the parents finance minister yoshihiko noda is set to become the country's next prime minister that's after the ruling democratic party elected him as its new chief not a will replace the outgoing premier not a con and will be japan's six prime minister in five years it's criticise or face tremendous pressure over his response to the earthquake and tsunami earlier this year as well as the nuclear crisis which followed. and for those eager for a break from down to earth troubles a russian company has come up with the perfect solution in just five years time they're planning to open a hotel in space and though the price tag is astronomical as it was over found out for some the chance of having the ultimate retreat is worth it. there is getting away from it all and then there's this the thirst in

a hotel floating in space could be the ultimate escape and according to its leaders this is no space fantasy stance from a boy in europe we'll launch the commercial space station in twenty sixteen and receive our first guests and twenty seven thousand designed to host seven guests and i noticed it is likely to become the most exclusive boutique hotel in the world that you 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 past those aboard the i says have to do with and toilets with flowing and instead of water due to weakness was visitors will only be able to sleep in the bags attached to the walls where there's a choice to sleep or eat some type of vertically as for the food that is promised to be delicious the wood brought here on this it will be a super de luxe trick everything has to be top level just getting there will be an

adventure in itself in days on board a russian so used piece craft 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 would grab the chance if they have to get it to go to space it will be in the future but in making the first steps now thirty three year old we've given you want to qantas to become the country's first space tourist it may be lined up but nothing more than a suborbital flight that he says it's just a start so much for the phone as the old boy's dream of yours to feel only few have felt but there are so many restrictions that can prevent you from gold for example health or money and that's certainly something that is likely to become a stumbling block almost earth dwellers the cost of the trip. at the moment the estimate price for twenty seventeen starts at about sixteen million dollars. it's

a really rich individuals or corporations interested in their own space research and it could also be an interesting options for states which don't have a national space program 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 questions but there's one thing about space hotel that 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 go their own the view of planet earth in all its beauty gary pushed over r.t. moscow and it's now time for the business news with viewer. own the room welcome to the program great to have

a company the customers prosper the world economy is also being felt here in russia and they cannot make minister has lowered the country's growth because of this year by two point one percent that's despite raising its forecast for the average well for its production and investment is growing slower than expected while increasing consumption is most to be met by imports the ministry expects g.d.p. growth to continue to slow until twenty fourteen. one of the disappointment after two thousand eight presence for russia was a big country staking too much time to return to the present growth rates just remind the present russia was ronnie's seven a percentage of the growth the year. those were delivering some growth which is relatively beauty when you compare russia the developed countries but it's still you love four percent your own view which is not much impressive in russia sickies as local investors do compare russia with other bric counterparts no such thing as a result of all the is facing now is the most likely the bulls the surprise

offender will come after the falls and fourteenth because it was a time warner the parent would be a ready to rebel the only program agreed lamenting is the business climate and basically to be ready to invite international a russian investment back though to stimulate economic growth. the uncertainty plaguing the world's financial markets pushed capital outflow to a five year high lots to eat analysts from urging pretty full of fun for research say foreign investors took almost five hundred million dollars out of the country but the total emerging markets were into europe. google current prices are having a negative impact on oil exploration and russia producers are squeezing all they can from existing wells rather than respecting for new opportunities this has led to a six percent decrease in drilling this year it's an area with the industry analysts say is a really suffering from a lack of investment they warn if there are not bigger tax breaks for exploration

the country will not be able to maintain current levels of output. which brings us to the world market prices are on the rise there's some of that soft oil refiners and terminals along the u.s. east coast where that the worst of the tropical storm easing fears of a fuels i just russians are. looking at precious metals gold is lawless our losing forty three dollars trading at one thousand seven hundred eighty three dollars per ounce and so that is also down trading on the forty one targets. and yet stocks opened high on monday are dangerous showed americans spent more than expected last month. european markets are also higher go trading is thin as london markets are closed for public holidays but the tax is rising of last three percent and a day on the russian market the r.t.s. is gaining all the four percent and the my sense is three and a half percent higher so i have a check and some will be visual show moves in the minds of banking stocks are among

the best performers this our lives burbank up almost four percent truck make a commodity is gaining as well the company has posted a three and a half million dollars pass health net profit against almost thirty million dollar losses last year generating company. is also on the rise after i was. i think the sixty percent jump in fast that's. in other news we're world's largest aluminum producers sol has reported results below expectations for the second quarter net profit declined seventy percent to three hundred forty million dollars as growth prices and production how were the russian companies positive about the future it expects to montenegro thirteen percent this year its hopes on the domestic market and following working economists. because the markets are traveling into trouble not from fair new capital advisors to buckle up but more 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 sage is the best liquidity so that's gazprom and rolls yeah maybe spare bank has been performing quite poorly recently it starts to provide some kind of protection at the moment although you know quite frankly i would be sitting in cash. an irrational retailers still more in health care for a giants to develop the russian market the country's leading chains x. five hundred need have posted second quarter results showing effects such increase in net profits expired retail wants to cash in on their russian market potential itself. retail chains hold less than thirty percent of the market while in 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 them for a majority. that's all we have time for now for as far as i can no longer intro what started out consols business and joining for another business. stay with us.
