little. cannot keep. stores on our team water and food shortages rig libya to the brink of a humanitarian crisis as the opposition against it will not negotiate with the future of colonel gadhafi. enough is enough moscow says the bloodshed in syria must end immediately and why is the opposition not to stray from political dialogue to truly believes that they can still stick to the. top view officials once again defend the walk south for instance a bigger role for the data contagion sweeping the continent even as they warn that the results already dismal economic growth is likely to slow even further.

it's a little after eleven pm here in the russian capital you're watching r.t. now efforts are underway in libya to try to restore water and electricity supplies in tripoli rebel leaders about nato countries to protect their teams trying to repair basic services well they've also once again rejected the possibility of holding talks with moammar gadhafi or as many of the national is in the capital where a humanitarian crisis is unfolding. what we're hearing here in tripoli from the rebels makes their position absolutely clear it will no be any negotiations with gadhafi and all the can provide him they say is safety and fair trial the rebels information minister. has said that even if conducted personally cause him and asks when you go she says he will not never talk to him he has added that at the rebels are not negotiating with the criminals and with the killers and prison not talks

but as i had for the embattled colonel gadhafi government spokesperson mostly begin 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 as 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 that'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 staying and where most of the foreign journalists are staying there is no water and this. water free day here in this region is very complicated and people are struggling and dr. berlin based middle east expert says it will be a challenge for the transitional government to restore peace in a country where many carry guns. libyans should do the job themselves right now they have been assisted by nato i have been very critical right from the window of about nato supporting the rebels but now the situation is as it is. now the there is a challenge for the libyan transitional council for the people themselves and i think that nato should be as reluctant as possible to interfere once more 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 on have a gun and this would be a very critical measure taken by the government and then of course the next steps have to follow the political steps getting some sort of legitimacy for the transitional council. of middle east experts and casework says nature is using the rebels to turn into a failed state this is it with iraq and afghanistan. this war is fundamentally a war to maintain africa in a true born position in the global economy and twenty ten years after you 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 u.s. has been desperate to get rid of when we talk about the rebels this is a very disparate group of people and really who's calling the shots as nato few leaders that we hear about and i think we've had real abdul-jalil 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 that mouthpieces of nato were placed on libyan state the same as what's a place to stay in iraq afghanistan which is a dysfunctional government complete lack of security gang warfare and civil war and this is not a state for 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 has vision of their country they need to wake up and saying that they have been you. now you're watching r t and there's plenty ahead for you this hour including surviving on scratch all u.s. carmakers who once received bailouts are now reaping the rewards more and more locals of detroit are forced to deal in scrap just to make ends meet. and a real out of this world experience

a russian built orbital votel is due to be put into space it just five years for those with cash to splash a perfect view. russia has once again the called of the conflicting sides in syria to end the bloodshed and move from the battlefield to the negotiating table well it's also urged the country's 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 artie's if you're going to. russia is calling on the history and government for an immediate implementation of all promised reforms and forces station office still it is between all conflicting parties that is the government and the opposition forces in the country that was the message from the kremlin which was related to the syrian government by russia's deputy foreign minister. who is in the syrian capital damascus now russia has had a special stance on syria ever since the beginning of the unrest in the country the

proposed u.n. draft resolution which will seek to amend very stringent sections 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 reformers 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 what is the government has been delivering word police 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 archie crew has gone into one of these one of the talons which has seen some of

the largest stations between the government and the opposition forces in order to see what is actually happening there and we brought this report let's give viewers a special significance for syria and for the president bashar al assad 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 the syria tell headquarters located on the right in the middle of it 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 the darkie 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 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 on the seventeenth of august or earlier on the surface it seems to be life as usual put 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. installing 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 a five month old promises of reforms this they see force the people out in the streets storing up protests there are lots 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 if i was r.t. all the majority of the syrian population stands for reform as there is no better alternative says london based best of journalist simon. the idea of adding more sanctions to syria is completely counterproductive most of the syrians i've spoken to special have been in beirut recently and others are outside 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 make everyone's lives harder and to really make everyone just think about what they were going to how to

get the next day whether they'll have a job and so on rather than say this is going to punish the regime for that i think will be very very counterproductive and has been rejected by think like a few of the syrians i have spoken to most would prefer a 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 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 you don't see 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 the sanction regimes that the power of the movement is is going away from them. as speaking at a special economic summit in brussels the president of the european central bank

has defended europe's bailout of and survival efforts that's ahead right now divisions on managing the debt crisis well talks focused on halting the spread of contagion even as an e.q. commissioner warns of that growth and europe's almost stagnant economy let's slow even further officials also called it critical to work out fresh problems stemming from their less demands for collateral from greece a move that could derail a second one hundred sixty billion euro bailout for the country and patrick young executive director of the investment firm dva advisors believes that the risks between the e.u. nations make it impossible to offer meaningful solutions 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 on your

a crutch involved simply have been too slow to realize the extent of the problem because they manage the pm to put the crotch 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 will need more money because of 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 all. cracks in the edifice in the structure of the building and that just won't do what the french and the germans are appalled by this whole situation because they want to try and get together a kind of foreseen war and solution to what goes on but he just not realistic the french and the german government want to believe him 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. our president there there ever so far the starter's gun for the russian problem answering election raised during a meeting of the political parties representatives and the southern city of sochi where he signed a decree setting the election date as the fourth of the summer of this yr he'll survive the parties affairs adopt the very tactics like nationalists if ever experienced slogans if they're campaigning but also on discussion are various internal policy issues and point revenue st petersburg governor and reform of russia's education system. and while the u.s. corps industry was on its knees to government intervention to avoid a fatal crash of wall the automotive giants are once again to reaping the rewards of sales people living in the country's car capital have gained nothing well detroit is home to america's big three car companies but more and more of its

residents lead a life of the margins of society as art is but. 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 and continue flying 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 is 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 line a streets of detroit hollow shells of america's former middle class which have ignited an industry of scrappers people who turn these properties of copper wire and steel pipes as a means of income. scrappers ruins for profit yards like this just five miles out of detroit scrapyard owner alberto talat says he sees new faces every day were deliberate where they get the courage to ride pretty big. agree make it everywhere on the hill even more hellish is the sight of a city looting itself landmark buildings and foreclosed homes are guarded for survival very grown that way to produce a little feel for you know if it were to go up in addition to scrappers an increasing number of cash working americans. are trading goods for

a boy in europe was with we'll launch the commercial space station in twenty sixteen and receive our first guests and twenty seven thousand designed to host seven guests at most it is likely to become the most exclusive boutique hotel in the world. 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 standard was those aboard the i says have to do with toilets with flowing air instead of water due to weightlessness visitors will only be able to sleep in the bags attached to the walls but there's a choice to sleep or is some type of vertically as for the food it is promised to be delicious but with water on it 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 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 i think everybody sort of the chance if they if they get it to go to space it will be in the future but the making of first steps will thirty three year old leave do you want to qantas to become the country's first space tourist a media lined up for nothing more than a suborbital flight that he says it's just a start so much of the old boys dream of this if you will if you have felt but there are so many restrictions that can prevent you from gold spirits for example health and money and that's certainly something that is likely to become the stumbling block for most earth as well as the cost of the trip at the moment the estimate price for twenty seventeen starts at about sixty million dollars a quarter should only work it is indeed really rich individuals or corporations interested in their own speech research it could also be an interesting options for

states which drones 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 bunny's cautions 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 only from the window after all that's what most people go there for the view of planet earth in all its beauty gary barty moscow. well there's another space refuge that's far from five star you can read about the unexpected troubles facing those currently in orbit it's all the six on board the us will have to tighten their belts after a cargo ship carrying biofuel supplies berths up in the atmosphere now remaining food and water now has to be rationed as
