good morning to you live from our headquarters in central moscow you're watching r.t. with me nice and now it's ten am here in the russian capital eight am in tripoli and family members of colonel gadhafi have fled libya to neighboring algeria this comes as rebels claim to have killed the colonel's youngest son archies river notion of reports now from the capital as people struggle for stability following the recent rebel takeover. graffiti all around the city proclaims welcome to new tripoli the city has indeed changed appearance recently what used to be one of the most beautiful on the african it's rainy and coast now looks neglected and duty . with fighting still continuing in parts of the city and in the rebels and gadhafi forces and army over another kind has taken to the streets. where i mean here.

we have forty one you like the gift you still have this and now you clean. all glass in there. with police no longer on the ground armed volunteers maintain something that ordinary residents are very concerned about if there is a gun they say it will fire sooner or later i was. going to be. home to the biggest aquaduct in the world tripoli has been without running water for more than a week already when you authorities claim is your technical problems not because of the street fighting. that's not good weapons in the hands of youngsters and professional people some calls himself live in middle class now the rhaetian are poor his family is in the mood house in the center of tripoli but just like every

resident is struggling. this is hard i wish close like women were doing fifty years ago with hands like this put this battle is nothing new comparing towards behind him some he says. we still don't tell has this. not for the whole good. but at least we get rid of. it at least we have our freedom and baseball is seems to be shared by many here. although today may not be the best place to live it's dangerous from both humanitarian and security point of view such as a water medicine food coupled with people with guns everywhere and no police but the residents of the libyan capital say they've been living without fresh air for forty two years of gadhafi is role since they get it back nothing else matters there is not an hour to faithfully behavior. but columnist for foreign policy and

focus can hellman says the nato operation in libya is an implementation of bush era plans to gain control of. the united states has for the past sixty years felt if it is to have a little or economic influence in a particular country or region it also has to have a military footprint and i think what people need to do is to see that this is the first nato want aeration in africa and that this goes back to documents during the bush administration which called for the creation of an african command which course has been done which calls for an invasion of an african country not using troops but the air power and all of these things have been done and they have to do . with control of resources and right now africa is up for grabs. and human rights activists matthew lead the un has already drafted a document that would ensure its future presence in libya. in some places this can

pager morton clear and says things like we can do this without getting a new mandate from the security council i.e. we can move peacekeepers from missions that already exist and put them in there we can send military advisors there was what there's one line where they just say they don't say this is controversial at all they say that security council's protection of civilians mandate implemented by nato does not end with the fall of the gadhafi government and therefore nato would continue to have some responsibilities and this is what i found surprising because that's a controversial statement that said that's really the position of some countries but the idea that ban ki-moon would take that as his position without any equivocation is probably wrong. and we of course are always eager to know your take on our top stories today we're asking you how the situation in libya will unfold with rebel forces having entered the country's capital let's take a look at what you're saying so far opinions are divided right now almost half of you believe the rebels will be stuck in a small war for years to come just over

a third think once they've got their full grip on power and oil it will cash in on the country's rich resources the rest of you are split between two opinions whether the diplomats will take control of the situation from here or rebel forces will fight on until victory is claimed let us know what you think down the line are seen . russia has continued its calls for the syrian president bashar al assad to end the bloodshed bloodshed in implementing promised reforms this comes as human rights activists report at least six more people were killed as government forces continue their crackdown on protesters. in syria and reports that the country's political violence is now putting its religious harmony in danger. protests in syria start out with political slogans. and violence breaks out people come to blows over issues of faith not politics.

with more than four thousand years of history damascus like the rest of syria has been home to multiple faith for centuries but with an increasing political unrest many are starting to wonder whether this could upset the delicate balance of religious tolerance in the country for now who is enjoying the quiet comfort of her home like most christians in the country it's a life she's been used to since her childhood but then i was growing up in a place with christians jews and muslims and everyone got along just fine was to do actually but it's not like this everywhere more than seventy percent of syrian population are muslim and just like christians most muslims here belong to different branches of the religion take for example the president himself bashar al assad is a follower of the elder branch or islam who are a minority among the predominantly sunni population so some of those dissatisfied with the current regime spread there in a more steady towards its if someone for

a problem with the government. some people believe this because of this gene belong to this tick and we have to struggle against the sick and this can be a bloody battle indeed over then i don't know why my son was killed he was just working in a shop in his killers knew that he was not politically active but he also knew he was an alawite and there must have been the reason for his murder so she violence is something that's new to syria where religious minorities have a special status largely because the country's leader is himself a member of such well we are protected by a law which allows us to live according to our customs since the pruett are started a lot has changed and strange for us it must be coming from the outside. whoever is rocky the goat of syrian religious tolerance we aren't reaching your goal just yet reeling attitude on the streets is still that of acceptance but if the political unrest worsens the lives of many religious minorities in syria could be at stake if

you look at the masters. of political science at stanford. she doesn't believe the opposition movement in syria is a natural formation who is the opposition until now nobody knows really because first of all the opposition i feel that it's actually was born outside the country in the president. has called for a dialogue and so far. feel has attended president assad will never step down if that will happen we're going to see a turmoil not only in syria we're going to see and all the surrounding countries laggard now in jordan soon really cut out all the gulf areas everything it's going to turn upside down. the majority of the syrian population stands for reform as there's no better alternatives as one of the investigative journalist simon our

stuff. 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 life harder and to really make make everyone just think about what they were going to how they're getting 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 will be very very counterproductive and has been rejected by i think like 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 you don't see most of them are petrified of the all 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 is is going away from them. well you can follow the latest developments on the story on our website and our twitter feed check out the latest pictures from the spot and the latest tweets of our correspondent in syria and her latest message artie's arena galoot because there's that being accompanied by a military as court stopping people from speaking openly about their experiences will stay in touch with her on the ground follow us at r.t. underscore com to be on top of all the latest developments in syria. in other news concerns over the pace of the eurozone economic recovery continue despite monday's special session of the european parliament's economic committee

those gathered for the meeting to discuss the debt crisis we're told that ongoing turmoil on global markets still poses a serious risk for greece also remains a pressing issue for european officials as it awaits a second ballot back in july but there are fears the rescue plan could be due as some countries express concerns over how the greek government will pay back one hundred nine billion euro deal patrick young executive director of the investment firm dva advisors told r.t. that respect tween e.u. nations make it almost impossible to reach a meaningful solution on the crisis. this is a fascinating meeting because i actually it demonstrates that within the e.u. and so 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 are owned and bureaucrats involved simply have been too

slow to realize the extent of the problem because they managed to pin to with a crutch for the past five or six years they thought they could keep doing so you keep throwing 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 a cause. i mean we need more money very very fundamental argument going on within the european union 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 here bring 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 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. and across the atlantic economic recovery also leaves much to be desired in a bit taints a disturbing trend u.s. president obama has appointed a new economic advisor who have the difficult task of boosting the economy economic growth and tackling high unemployment but u.s. economist and radio host richard valvo says the matter is the american government are undertaking are insufficient. for two to three years now president obama has been saying that his program to deal with unemployment is to provide incentives and stimulus for the private sector to hire people that clearly has not worked and what we need is to have the courage to break in there and have a government really do something where ninety was throwing up his hands and saying well we'll just wait basically and hope that the economy comes back which in

a basic way has been the policy now for three years and the fact that it doesn't work seems not to be a sufficient frightening prospect for these politicians and leaders to do something but i think they're making a terrible mistake because the costs of this delay of not doing anything are very very severe and are impacting the majority of the american people in ways that are going to have impact on our country for years into the future it's a desire of those who have made a bundle over the last forty years to get through this crisis without paying the price and to put the burden of the bailouts of the banks of the crisis itself on the mass of people to have a conversation always about shall we cut social security shall we take away medicare shall we take away medicaid to have the whole conversation about the burden on the mass of the people rather than on themselves. economists max kaiser
