members of more market happy family fleet around syria which accepts them quite protests from the libyan opposition this as the whereabouts of the fugitive colonel remain unknown. violence in syria claims more victims we fear are growing the political on grass quickly through religious conscience and the traditionally multi-faith society. and euro zone recovery is still off track as the e.u. parliament's economic committee admits pace of growth is weak and sounds over the group al out continues.

but from our studios in central moscow you're watching r g with me and he said now it's twelve noon here in the russian capital ten am in tripoli and family members of colonel gadhafi have fled libya to neighboring el syria this comes as rebels claim to have killed the colonel's youngest son archies rif a notion of reports now from the capital as people struggle for surveillance following the recent rebel takeover. graffiti all around the sea chief proclaims will continue 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 impose on the city and in the rebels and gadhafi is forces an army of we know the kind has taken to the streets. boy being here. we have forty one year old there think you still have this

and now you clean all the. old laws in there. with police no longer on the ground armed volunteers maintain order something the ordinary residents a very concerned about if there is a gun they say it who fire sooner or later was. going to be. home to the biggest aquaduct in the world tripoli has been without running water for more than a week already the new authorities claim is technical problems not because of the street fighting. that's not good weapons in the hands of youngsters and professional people some because himself live in middle class now the rhaetian are poor his family is in the mood house in the center of tripoli just like every resident is struggling. this is hard i watch closely like women were doing fifty

years ago with hands like this but this battle is nothing new comparing to woods behind them some he says. this was still don't help us this. water. now for all but. at least we get to the end of. it at least we have our freedom and that is for seems to be shared by many here fearful that they may not be the best place to live it's dangerous from both humanitarian and security point of view such as a water medicine and 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 back nothing else matters where it's not an hour to fearfully libya. column is for foreign policy in focus

can't. the nato operation in libya is an implementation of bushfire appliance taking control over africa the united states has for the past sixty years fell if it is to have political or economic influence in a bit trickier 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 need or want rationing in africa and that this goes back to. 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 airpower all of these things are done and they have to do eventually with control of resources and right now africa is up for grabs human rights activists natalie claims the u.n. has already drafts of a document that would insert switzer presence in libya. in some places this ten

page or more in play 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 not there's one line where they just say they don't say this is controversial or they say a security council's protection of civilians mandate implemented by nato does not end with the fall they could have a government and therefore nato would continue to have some responsibilities and this is what i found surprising because that's a controversial statement that's a that's certainly the position of some countries but the idea that ban ki-moon would take it as his position without any equivocation is probably wrong. well we're always eager to know your take on our top stories today we're asking how you see the situation in libya unfolding with rebel forces having answered the country's capital here's how our opinions are divided right now almost half of you believe the rebels will be stuck in a civil war for years to come all just thought for a third think once they've got their full grip on power and oil they will cash in

on the country's rich resources the rest of you are split between two options whether the diplomats will take control of the situation from here or rebel forces will fight on until victory is claimed log on to our g dot com and have your say. russia has continued its calls for the syrian president bashar assad to end the bloodshed and implement promised reforms this comes as human rights activists report at least seven more people were killed as government forces continue their crackdown on protesters are caesar in a delusion as in syria reports that the contras 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 modern faith for centuries but with an increasing political unrest

nany 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 lie she's been used to since her childhood but then 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 bashar al assad is a follower of the elwood 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 city towards the roots if someone finds a problem with the government. some people believe this because of this regime belong to the district and we have to struggle against the sick and this can be

a bloody battle indeed over them 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 that must have been the reason for his murder. 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 protests started a lot has changed and strange for us it must be coming from the outside and. whoever is rocking the boat of syrian religious tolerance they 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 we go to mass this political science or start for

rather 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. 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 sooty cut out all the gulf areas everything it's going to turn upside down majority of the syrian population stands for reform and there's no better alternative as london based investigative journalist simon a south. the idea of adding more sanctions to syria is completely counterproductive most of the syrians i've spoken to have been in beirut recently and others i've met

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 they're getting the next day but it will 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 quite 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 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 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 daily lives and the ascension 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 twitter feed check out the latest pictures from the spot and the latest tweets from our correspondent on the ground in syria and her latest tweet our teams are nicholas because says that being accompanied by our military escort is stopping people from speaking openly about their experiences you can follow her through us at r.t. underscore com and 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 discuss. exact crisis we're told that i'm going to term oil and gobble markets still poses a serious threat greece also remains a pressing issue for european officials as it awaits

a second bailout passed out back in july there are fears the rescue plan could be to the rails and some countries express concerns over how the greek government will pay back one hundred and nine billion euro deal patrick young executive director of the investment firm t.v. advisors told r.t. that rift between the e.u. nations make it almost impossible to create a meaningful 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 but a lot of the politicians on the bureaucrats involved simply have been too slow to realize the extent of the problem because they manage the pm to put the cracks for the past five or six years we thought we could keep doing so we keep having these false agreements that sign 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 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 poor 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. founded america i've harvested 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 the report cites weak irony and my control i like using invisible souls using their positions and findings will add to brock obama's rose as he tries country's economy u.s. president has recently appointed a new economic advisor to tackle the. system american economist and radio host richard cole says the measures the government is taking are insufficient. for two to three years and 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 bernanke he 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 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 merits of the people rather than on themselves
