a full business bulletin its president is for now. it's one pm in moscow this is coming to buy on needs now with our top story this hour family members of colonel gadhafi have fled libya to neighboring algeria this comes as rebels claim they have killed the colonel's youngest son artie's rif a national reports now from a capital as people struggle for stability following the recent rebel takeover. graffiti all around the seat she claims will continue tripoli the city has indeed changed appearance recently. what used to be one of the most beautiful on the african mediterranean coast now looks neglected and duty. with fighting still continuing in parts of the city it unravels and cut up its forces an army of

another kind has taken to the streets where really. we have forty one year like. this and now. only three zero loss in group. with police no longer on the ground armed volunteers maintain order something the ordinary residents are very concerned about if there is a gun they say it will fire sooner or later i was. going to be honest i. came to the biggest aquaduct in the world tripoli has been without running water for more than a week already and you authorities claim is you technical problems not because of the street fighting. that's not good weapons in the hands of youngsters on professional people sami calls himself libyan middle class now they reach not poor

his family lives in a modest house in the center of tripoli but just like every resident a struggling. this is hard i wish clothes like women were doing fifty years ago not hands like this but this battle is nothing to compare interest behind the sun says . this is still we don't have access to know all water. and all for the fall but. at least we get rid of. at least we have our freedom and these photos seems to be shared by many here simple that they may not be the best place to leave 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 conduct his role since they gathered back nothing else matters

there is not an hour to simply leave via. columnist for foreign policy in focus aliments 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 a little or economic influence in a particular country were 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 operation in africa and that this goes back to documents during the bush administration which called for the creation of an african command which has been done which calls for an invasion of an african country not using troops but here power lately all of these things are build on and they have to do. with control of resources and right now africa is up for grabs human rights activists

matthew the claims the un has already drafted a document that would ensure its future presence and libya. in some places this contagion morton 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 not 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 for the good of the 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 certainly 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 i was eager to know your take on our top stories today we're asking you how the situation in libya will unfold with rebel forces in control of most of the capital now here's how opinions are divided at the moment almost half of you believe the

rebels will be stuck in a slower war for years to come while just over 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 or fight on until victory is claimed top of the line we want to know what you think about libya at r.t. dot com. russia has continued its cause for the syrian president bashar al 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. 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. 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 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 holes like most christians in the country it's a lie she's been used to since rich old 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 shot outside is a follower of the al with branch of islam who are a minority among a predominantly sunni population so some of those dissatisfied with the current regime spread there in a masterpiece of words it's if someone finds

a problem with the government. some people believe this because of this gene along with the stick and we have to struggle against the sick and this can be a bloody battle over there no you 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 he reads 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. protected by law which allows us to live according to our customs since the protests started a lot has changed and it's strange because it must be coming from the outside for whoever is rocking to go to see if your stories aren't reaching your goal just yet willing attitude of 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

even if. the masters. political scientist dr. 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 . president. has called for a dialogue and so far. fewer 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 sunni cut out all the gulf areas everything it's going to turn out side down. the majority of the syrian population stands for reform as there's no better alternative that's a london based investigative journalist simon ourselves. 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 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 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 for that i think will be very very counterproductive and is being 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 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 them so concerned about how they're going to live their everyday lives and the sanction regimes that the power of the movement is is drawing away from them. it involved the latest developments on this story on our website and on twitter check out the latest pictures from the spot and the latest tweets on our feet from our correspondent in the country and our latest message our teams arena couscous as they're being accompanied by a military escort is stopping people from speaking openly about their experiences follow arena through us at r t underscore com to be on top of all the latest developments on the ground in syria. 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 i'm going to term oil in global markets still poses a very serious threat greece also remains a pressing issue for european officials that awaits a second bailout thrashed out in july but there are fears the rescue plan it could be darrelle as some countries express concerns over how the greek government will pay back the one hundred nine billion euro deal patric young executive director from the investment firm dva advisors told r.t. that the rift between nations make it almost impossible to reach a meaningful so the. this is a fascinating meeting because actually it demonstrates that within the e.u. and so there is a very very significant struggle argument over what is the process by which the eurozone needs to be saved the difficulty is that a lot of the politicians on the 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 keep having 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 economy and more money there. very fundamental argument going on within the european union the eurozone 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 wall to wall 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 a whole 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 who are ignorant and nasty speculators but actually the speculators are wrong the speculators are people who are looking after your and my kenshin fund money and they see the euro zone as

being in danger so there's a very big argument looming today. in america bipartisan committee 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 planning and lack of control using individual officials of using their positions the findings will add to barack obama's woes as he tries to battle his country's economy the u.s. president has recently appointed a new economic advisor to tackle the fans of the financial system but american economists and radio host richard roth says the measures the government is take undertaking are insufficient. for two to three years and president obama has been saying that his program to deal with unemployment is to provide incentives in 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 the 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 backs of the people rather than on themselves. well economist max kaiser predicts people's anger with the state of the u.s. economy may soon spill onto the streets who wants the kind of report in two hours time here in r.t. here's a quick look at what's to come. you know the global insurrection against banker occupation we've been telling you about of for months now it's coming to new york state anonymous joins you probably wall street there encouraging up to twenty thousand people to occupy wall street are going to sort of tense like they have in the square nothin's or in the square in tunis or in cairo interest where they were demanding the dictator go. the dictator in this situation are the banks that they need to surround the new york fed which is only a few blocks away and demand the head of the new york federal reserve bank to leave
