and become free to. see what nature can give you. the best or is on our team water and food shortages related to the brink of a humanitarian crisis as the opposition against says it will not negotiate with a fugitive colonel gadhafi. it is enough to moscow says a bloodshed in syria must end immediately and wants the opposition not to stray from political dialogue if it truly believes in a peaceful state. talk to you officials once again defend the glocks efforts and save the euro stage and sweeping the continent even as they wanted the euro zone's already dismal economic growth is likely to slow even further.

just after ten 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 into 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 more market off the parties and what if an ocean is in the capital where a humanitarian crisis is unfolding. but we are hearing here in tripoli from the rebels makes their position absolutely clear it will no be any negotiations with khadafi and all you can provide him they say is safety and fair trial the rebels' information minister. has said that even if gadhafi personally calls him and asks when he says he will not never talk to him he has added that and the rebels are not negotiating with the criminals and with the killers and freeze and not talks but as

i had called in battle colonel gadhafi is government spokesperson most able again has sent a message to the rubbles about his readiness to hold talks with the rebels on forming the traditional government this statement comes just a week after the rebels assault on the libyan capital tripoli as a result they are virtually control in most of this city they're actually right now controlling most of the can treat as well put into should 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 that's 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 corinthia hotel where we are sustained and where most of the foreign journalists are staying

there is no water per day water free day here in this so this region is very complicated and people are struggling. i'm dr steinback aprilia based little east expert says it will be a challenge for the transitional government to restore peace in a country where many carry guns believe we should do the job themselves right now they have been assisted by nato have been very critical right from the window of about nato supporting the rebels but now the situation is as it is. now there is a challenge for the libyan transitional council for the people themselves and i think that nato should be every reluctant as possible to interfere once more to let the libyans themselves establish security let themselves go their way politically so i think the next step should be to really find out where gadhafi is and then really try to stop the fighting but this may be may turn out to be quite difficult

as practically everybody has as an army has had an arm has a gun and so this will be a very critical measure taken by the government and then of course next steps have to follow the political steps getting some sort of legitimacy for the transitional council. and in about twenty minutes time watch archie's interview with a british m.p. who's voted against the intervention well he explains why that's coming up on our t.v. and also this hour surviving on. the us car makers who once received bailouts are now reaping the rewards one more locals at detroit are forced to deal in sprout just to make ends meet. and a real out of this world experience are russian built over tall hotel is due to be put into space in just five years for those with cash to splash a perfect view. over russia has once again called on the conflicting sides in syria to end the bloodshed and move from the battlefield to the negotiating table

would also urge the country's opposition to yield to a peaceful solution as it says this is the only way that leads to democratic reforms it causes russia's deputy foreign minister has been meeting with the syrian leadership. has more. russia is calling on the syrian government for an immediate implementation of all promised reforms and forces stationed all facilities between all conflicting parties that is the government and the opposition forces in the country that was the message from the kremlin which was relayed to the syrian government by russia's deputy foreign minister mikhail bogdanov who is in the syrian capital damascus now russia has had a special stance of syria ever since the beginning of the unrest in the country 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 sanctions into

place but does call an immediate implementation of all the forums from all 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 to the government has been delivering words least trying to deliver and so it's 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 actually happening there and we brought back this report latakia very suspicious significance for syria and for the president bashar lassoed his father is from a village near the city in which the population is predominantly just like the rest

of the province the process began here in march of this year 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 rights in the middle of this syria tell us a company. telephone company which was always why 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 vote again just a couple of weeks ago claiming more than thirty lives antigovernment 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 main western 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 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 wanted to in this situation there were no warships stationed in this debate 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 the side of the sea where the old wooden ships were there differently signs of battle you can see by the bullet holes in the walls. story provoking forces so. 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 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. to get more insight on the story let's cross live to london based investigative journalist simon i saw thanks very much for being on the program tonight i know russia has called on the opposition to lay down arms and not evade negotiations i do you think that's the answer for the anti regime movement to get what it wants right now. well there is a danger of. the revolution of the movement coming on and syria ending up in the libya situation which in which foreign powers then find a way of intervening so there is. the syrians i have now spoken to there is quite a big argument with those who think it should be an insurrection and those who think this is a very very dangerous dangerous path. so where is it leaning towards do you think well the other thing they're saying is that as far as everyone is concerned bashar

assad has to step down but beyond that there's no real agreement amongst the opposition groups and they're all being pulled in quite a few directions so the opposition in a sense is it's becoming much more varied and more and more voices are coming out but i think the vast majority of syrians i've spoken to would welcome there to be some form of dialogue and there is this great fear that things can spin out of control very very quickly ok then let's talk about sever forms that a new media law has been implemented in syria essentially ensuring freedom of the press and do you believe this step is significant i mean does it show and the country's leadership is really ready to implement promised reforms. well i think they have to now because the thing is that i don't think these reforms are particularly aimed at the people demonstrating i think the people demonstrating what's interesting is over the months hearing their slogans change from their morning reforms to demanding the fall of the regime and now demanding the execution of the president this is quite a quite

a shift but there is what they call the kind of side and majority of those who are unsure of the opposition but still unhappy with the regime and these reforms are are really towards them saying look if you stick with us then we will begin to implement in a real way the reforms that we've been promising for quite some time so in a sense if if he does begin to deliver on the reforms then you can begin to see the steam coming out if you like of the opposition movement because at the moment it's becoming very bloody and very very dangerous ok that's internally let's talk about external action there are two draft resolutions right now on syria on the table at the u.n. one proposed by the u.s. and e.u. countries calling for more sanctions and there's another one proposed by russia calling for dialogue and reforms and what do you see happening in syria if either one of these this passed. well. to be honest with you the idea of adding more sanctions to syria is completely counterproductive most of the syrians i've spoken to special been very recently another side of sort of the middle east really even

though they're very much part of the opposition are absolutely petrified that what sanctions will do would be to throw up to try to make anyone's life harder i'm to really. make everyone just think about what they were going to how they're getting it the next day whether they'll have a job and so on rather than say this is going to punish the regime so that i think would be very very counterproductive and has been rejected by i think quite a few of the syrians i have spoken to most would prefer dialogue and i think this is very much the way a lot of them would like to go now whether bashar assad is capable really of doing this it is a different question but the idea that there should be that the time has come for there to be some kind of real negotiation with the regime is very much high on the agenda because they're going to be most of them are petrified of the of the alternatives either nato getting involved having another libya type situation or

the alternative which is that. the people involved in the movement becomes then so concerned about how they're going to live their everyday lives and their sanction regimes that the power of the movement is drawn away from them ok let's talk about what russia is saying russia says the approach of its western allies towards the situation is rather one sided because they're piling pressure only on the syrian leadership and what do you make of that. well i think that i think that's true in the no secret i don't think anyone can deny that there's a very big hostility between the u.s. nato powers and syria which has to do with the status of the resistance in lebanon its position inside the arab world and so on so there is the sense in which they are to seen that the west are trying to make hay out of it for they're trying to find a way of of neutralizing syria as part of a wider geo political. why did you political move because the same time you you know i met many lebanese who are very sympathetic with the revolution in syria the

uprisings in syria at the same time very sympathetic to the uprising in bahrain and there's no question of sanctions happening in bahrain so they're saying again this is double standards this will just confuse things best if the west these things alone and allow the syrians to work out how the reform process is going to happen what form of dialogue it takes but also to remove this idea that i've any point we're going to have nato warplanes overflying damascus and homs and hama i think is a very very it's creating very great fear and tension inside of inside of the opposition movement all right thank you very much for analysis there simon to suffer investigative journalists from the socialist worker newspaper thank you. well speaking at a special economic summit in brussels the president of the european central bank has defended europe's bailout driven survival efforts and that's led a widening divisions on managing the debt crisis while talks focus on halting the

spread of contagion even as an e.u. commissioner warned that growth in europe's on a stagnant economy would slow even further officials also called the critical to work out fresh problems stemming from fairlands demands for collateral from greece is a move that could derail a second one hundred sixty billion euro bailout of the country and africa executive director of the investment for a v.v. advisors believe that the rest between the e.u. nations make it impossible to walk for aid meaningful solution to the crisis this is a fascinating meeting because i 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 manage the p. and over the cracks for the past five or six years be 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 marker of a few weeks we have a further crisis in another economy and we need more money very very fundamental argument going on within the european union the euro zone needs to come together with sensible lose because at the moment they've been throwing money at any possible problems and all they're doing is all here 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 he just not realistic the french and the german government want to believe him who are ignorant nasty speculators but actually the speculators are wrong the speculators are people who are looking after your and my pension fund money and they see the euro zone as being in danger so there's a very big argument looming today. now if the u.s.

car industry was on its knees if the government intervention to avoid a fatal crash well the automotive giants are once again reaping the rewards of sales people living in the country's car capital have gained nothing but sure it 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 art is what he 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 but 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 sea the and so there's no money here really in that 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 i think on. scrappers swapped ruins for profit yards like this just five miles out of detroit scrap yard owner albert talat says he sees new faces every day were deliberately they get the courage to ride peterborough agree to make it. everything gone to hell even more hellish is the sight of

a city looting itself landmark buildings and foreclosed homes are gutted for survival and go around and we're going to feel that it's worth a go or in addition to scrappers an increasing number of cash drop working americans. are trading goods for greenbacks guy in the lexus and what is the suit and tie and low brass lamb and you know he's not into the recycling kind of guy the one who 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.

has reported six straight quarterly profits and chrysler's revenue is said to be up by thirty percent nearly fourteen billion dollars from last year what about bail in the people out you bell about the corporations who bailed out the banks and doesn't mean a whole lot because the people who were in the city still don't get those jobs those jobs are still being outsourced in this once great industrial beacon of american ideals where henry ford pioneered the famous model t. production schools police and fire stations now stand by bandit as many americans are reduced to dealing in scrap your guilt or just to make ends meet. hearty detroit. oh if you missed any of our stories you can find them and more on our web site that's r t dot com and here are some of what's also there right now oh you got courts are working overtime jailing recent rioters of british or world working veterans but we hide bars as well. this supporters say he's been bad for

trying to expose corruption in the legal system. and how about this for a thirst quencher we'll give you the first hand knowledge from a top russian mixologist on how to create a monstrous long island hardtail the currently going down a storm in moscow. after 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 of the chance of having the ultimate retreat as worth it there is getting away from it all and less is this the first of a hotel floating in space could be the ultimate escape and according to its leaders this is no space fantasy stance from war in europe with me we'll launch the commercial space station in twenty sixteen and receiver a first and twenty seven. 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 and guests will be able to enjoy an individual cabin a shower cubicle instead of a storage bars and those aboard the ices have to do with and toilets with and instead of water due to weaknesses visitors will only be able to sleep in the bags attached to the walls but there's a choice to sleep or is on tonight although secondly as for the food it is promised to be delicious but with whirls you're almost it will be a super de luxe trip everything has to be top level. just getting there will be an adventure in itself to be is 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 but i think everybody sort of grabbed

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 you've given you want to qantas to become the country's first space tourist it may be lined up for nothing more than a suborbital flight but he says it's just the start so much of that all boys dream of this if you all if you are filled but there are so many restrictions that can prevent you from gold speech for example health and money and that's certainly something that is likely to become the stumbling block for most of the well as 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 and 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 where there's one thing about space hotel but even the most luxurious place on the planet won't be able to be and that is the only from knowing 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. now he's the all action prime minister who's flown jet fighters debuted new cars and even taken to horseback riding airports and has been filling his latest need for speed with a motorbike riding a three wheeled harley davidson and lead a column of bikers into the russian port of. for a grand bike show event is organized by one of the country's most prominent motorbike bob how about fifty thousand people have gathered to see a concert stunt show on the back of the climax of which will take place on

remind the president russia was romney's seven eight sounds good g.d.p. growth the year knol suppose where do we want some growth which is relatively good when you compare russia to the ballots counted but it's still you know for the sounds of your own view which is most very much impressive in russia psyches as noble investors do call that russia will probably come but no such thing as a result of them is facing now is the most likely the cause the surprise the plan that will cost the falls and foot because it was that time was the cabinet will be already prepared the economic program of green blue man changes the business climate and basically to be read to invite international wall or russian investments back though to stimulate economic growth. there's surgeons who plaguing the world's financial markets cover so outflow to a five year high last week and lists from our merchant fund research say foreign investors took almost five hundred billion dollars out of the country that's a quarter of the total emerging markets all soldier in the period. brings us to the
