for more on that and other stories. it's eleven am in moscow this is arjun coming to you live on news now with our top story this hour family members of colonel gadhafi have fled libya into neighboring algeria this comes as rebels claim they have killed the colonel's youngest son notion of reports from the capital as people struggle for stability following the recent rebel takeover. graffiti all around the city proclaims welcome to new truthfully the city has indeed changed appearance recently. what used to be one of the most beautiful on the african a train in khost now looks like collected and duty. with fighting still continuing in parts of the city but in the rebels and gadhafi forces an army of another kind

has taken to the streets where clearly. we have forty one years they have finished all of this and now. clean all. over the last in line. with police no longer on the ground armed volunteers maintain order something that ordinary residents are very concerned about if there is a gun they say it will fire sooner or later was. and the people. came to the biggest aquaduct in the world tripoli has been without trying water for more than a week already and you authorities claim is due to technical problems not because of the street fighting. that's not good weapons in the hands of youngsters on professional people. someone calls himself a leader in middle class now the rhaetian are poor his family lives in the mood his

house in the center of tripoli but just like every resident they are struggling. this is hard i wish kloofs like women were doing fifty years ago with hands like this but this battle is nothing comparing to what's behind them sunny says. this was the you don't have this this. water. no food for good. but at least we get. at least we have our freedom and peace always seems to be shared by many here to believe that they may not be the best place to live heads dangerous from both humanitarian and security point of view truth 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 his role since they get it back nothing else matters

refresh now r.t. fearfully libya. a columnist for foreign policy in focus can how him and says the nato operation in libya is an implementation of bush era plans to gain control over africa. the united states has for the past sixty years felt that if it is to have political or economic influence and 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 rationed in africa and this goes back to. the bush administration which called for the creation of an african command which of course has been done which calls for an invasion of an african country not using troops but air power lately all of these things are build on and they have to do a venture with control of resources that right now africa is up for grabs. and

human rights activists matthew the claims the u.n. has already drafted a document that would insert its future plans presence in libya. in some places this ten page martin player 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 the security council's protection of civilians mandate implemented by nato does not end with the fall that could i think government and therefore nato would continue to have some responsibilities this is what i found surprising because that's a controversial statement that's a 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. but we're 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 hears opinions and how they're divided right now almost half of you believe

the gravels will be stuck in this world war for years to come but just over a third think once they've got their full grip on power and oil they will pass in on the country's rich resources the rescuer split between two options whether the diplomats will take control of the situation from here or rebel forces will fight on into the big three it's like my guns are to dot com and have your say. russia has continued its calls for the syrian president bashar al assad to end the bloodshed and implement promised reforms as comes as human rights activists report at least seven more people were killed as government forces continue their crackdown on protesters are geezer is in syria and reports that the country's political violence is now putting its religious harmony in danger. in syria start out with political slogans. and violence breaks out people come to

blows over issues of faith not politics. but 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 there 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 i was growing up in a place with christians jews muslims and everyone got along just fine we still 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 was shot on our side is a follower of the l. word branch or islam who are a minority among a predominantly sunni population so some of those dissatisfied with the current regime spread their animosity towards all brits if someone finds

a problem with the government. some people believe this because of this the gene belonged previous sticked and we have to struggle against the sick and this can be a bloody battle indeed i don't know why my son was killed he was just working in a shop and 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. such a violent 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 law which allows us to live according to our customs since the brutal started a lot has changed and it's strange for us it must be coming from the outside. whoever is rocking the boat of syrian religious tolerance aren't reaching their goal just yet really an 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 you can go to massacres. political scientist dr nada harshly 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 i. 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 lebanon 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 and there's no better alternative. investigative journalist simon. but 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 make everyone's life harder and to really 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 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 you don't see most of them are petrified of the all 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 get it every day lies in the sanction regimes that the power of the movement is is going away from them. you can follow the latest developments on this story on our website and our twitter feed check out the latest pictures from this and latest tweets of our correspondent in syria and her latest tweet aren't she's. being accompanied by a military escort is stopping people from speaking openly about their experiences follow heart underscore calm to be on top of all the latest developments in syria. concerns over the pace of the euro zone's economic recovery continue despite monday's special session of the european parliament's economic committee those

gathered for the meeting to. discussed the debt crisis we're told that i'm going to term oil in the global market still poses a serious threat well greece also remains a pressing issue for european officials as it awaits that bell out crast out back in july but there are fears the rescue plan could be did ralph some countries express concerns over how the greek government will pay back one hundred ninety billion euro deal patrick young executive director of the investment firm d.d. advisors told r.t. the rift e.u. nations make it almost impossible three and meaningful for consent 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 put the cracks for the past five or six years they thought they could keep doing so we keep throwing these false agreements that signed wonderful everybody says the euro zone crisis is solved and there's within a matter 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 moves because at the moment they've been throwing money at any possible problems and all they're doing is all over 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 in america a bipartisan commission has found that since two thousand and one u.s. officials wasted over thirty billion taxpayer dollars provided for wars in iraq and afghanistan meanwhile president obama has appointed a new economic adviser to tackle his nation's broken economy but u.s. economist and radio host richard wolffe says the measures the american government are taking 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 the government really do something for 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 that have the 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.
