members of moammar gadhafi family flee to out syria which excites them despite protests from the libyan opposition this is as the whereabouts of the fugitive colonel remain unknown. violence in syria claims more victims are fears growing that it would have a lot rasta could lead to religious classes in a traditionally multi-faith society. and euro zone recovery is still off the track as the e.u. parliament's economic committee admits the pace of growth as we saw concerns over the greek bailout continue.

your watch it hard see it live from moscow with me and he's there now a it's two pm here in the russian capital twelve noon 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 claims will continue truthfully the city has indeed changed appearance recently which used to be one of the most beautiful on the african it's rainy and coast now luc's neglected and duty. with fighting still continued in parts of the city and in the rebels and gadhafi is forces an army of another kind has taken to the streets. where clearly. we have a forty one year they're finished with this and now i know you clean

all three all glass. with police no longer on the ground armed volunteers maintain order something that all new 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 trying water for more than a week all really and you authorities claim is your technical problems because of the street fighting. that's not good weapons in the hands of youngsters and professional people some calls himself a liberal 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 close like women good during the two years ago with hands like this but this battle is nothing new comparing to what's behind them some the size. was still don't tell the story. now for the fall but. at least we get rid of. it at least we have our freedom and baseball is seems to be shared by many here simple as they may not be the best place to live it's 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 conduct is wrong since they get nothing else matters. results now are to simply leave the. column as for foreign policy in focus can holman 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 so that if it is to have political or economic influence and 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 air power all of these things that build on may have to do venturing with control resources and right now africa is up for grabs. human rights activists matthew blee claims the un has already drafted a document that would ensure its future presence in libya. in some places there's

ten pages 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 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 of the gadhafi 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 it is his position without any equivocation is probably wrong. we're always eager to know your take on our top stories that we're asking about the situation in libya and how you think it will unfold with rebel forces in control of most of the capital here's how opinions are divided at the moment almost half of you believe the rebels will be stuck in a lot more calm 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 either the diplomats will take control of the situation from here or rebel forces will fight on until victory is claimed lagarde dot com and yourself. russia has continued its cause for the syrian president bashar al assad and the bloodshed in implements 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 seen as a really good is in syria and reports that the country's political violence is now putting its religious harmony in danger. protest 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 model 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 with the i was growing up in a place with christians jews muslims and everyone got along just fine and 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 but shuttle our side is a follower of the al with branch or islam who are a minority among a predominantly sunni population so some of those dissatisfied with the current regime spread there in a manner that it's awards all over it's if someone find a problem with the government. some people believe this because of this really gene we belong to this strict 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 his murder such 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 law which allows us to live according to our customs says the protests started a lot has changed and strange for us it must be coming from the outside. whoever is rocking the boat of syria which is tolerance aren't reaching their goal just yet the prevailing 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 in a little im ask us. well political scientist dr another ashworth says

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 assad has called for a giant log and so far. few has attended president assad will never step down if that will happen we're going to see a turmoil not only in syria are we going to see and all the surrounding countries lebanon jordan soon to be cut out all the gulf areas everything it's going to turn upside down. the majority of syrian population stands for reform and there's no better alternative as london based investigative journalist simon. the idea of the more sanctions to syria is completely counterproductive most of the syrians i've spoken to special been in beirut recently another side of sort of the

middle east. even though they're very much part of the opposition are actually petrified that what sanctions would 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 has been rejected by i 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 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 every day like. on the sanction regimes that the power of the movement is is is gone away from them. you can follow 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 free from our correspondent in the country and her one of her messages our teams are in it goes to satisfy being accompanied by a military as couric is stopping people from speaking openly about their experiences that are to underscore the harm to be on top of all the latest developments on the ground 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 the debt crisis we're told that i'm going to term oil in global markets still poses a serious risk but greece also remains are pressing issues for european officials

and it's as if awaits a second bailout thrashed out back in july but there are fears the rescue plan could be derailed and some countries express concerns over how the greek government will pay back the one hundred nine billion euro deal patrick young executive director of the bassman firm divi advisors told our to me that response from the e.u. nations make it almost impossible to reach a new. 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 aren't good bureaucrats involved simply have been too slow to realize the extent of the problem because they managed the pm to put a crutch for the past five or six years they thought they could keep doing so keep

going for small shrug remember that signed wonderful everybody says the euro zone crisis is solved and they. there's within a matter of a few weeks we have a further crisis in another economy and we need more money so there's a very very fundamental argument going on within the european union the euro zone needs to come together with sensible lose because at the moment they've been throwing money at any possible problems and all they're doing is wallpapering a call 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. nasty speculators but actually the speculators are wrong as speculators are people who are looking after your and my pension fund money and they see the euro zone as being and in church so there's a very big argument looming today. and in america 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 reports science planning and lack of control all accusing individual officials of abusing their positions these findings will add to grok obama's words as he tries to battle the us is weak economy the president has recently appointed a new economic advisor to tackle before the financial system american economists and radio host richard roth says the measures the government are 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 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 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 could 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 merits of the people rather than on themselves. economists max kaiser predicts people's anger with the state of the american economy may soon spill onto the streets become watched the full kaiser report next hour here on r t but here's a quick look at what's to come. you know the mobile insurrection against banker occupation we've been telling you about it for months now it's coming to new york state's anonymous joins street they're encouraging up to twenty thousand people to occupy wall street they're going to sort of tense like they have in the square now up and or in the square in tunis or in cairo in tahrir square they were demanding the dictator go. the dictator in this situation are the banks toure's yeah 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 and they're not going to leave until the head of the new york federal reserve bank

big cities but they often don't know what to do there so they can find a job or a family build a life. of course there are examples of successful forming businesses in russia but experts agree they're only a drop in the ocean and aren't enough to motivate the youth to work in live in the real community and as many try to survive in cities looking for work the countryside is dying out although some traces of wife still exist here and there it may not need to long before they fall silent all together. but. how did. he go it was going off or to central russia. to find out more on the stories we're covering you can always log onto our website get what lined up for you with our team. over the fields being transported to a dolphin. nerium biplanes died on the way to find out what caused the tragedy or

while expiration in russia is lacking investments and the government may have trouble keeping its pledge to maintain current levels we compensate a process an expensive is expensive and they need greater incentives for prospecting however analysts suggest that the newly introduced tax reforms provide extra revenue for exploration. this is one of the biggest steps taken by the russian government over the recent years the underestimation of the one gas sector taxation and it did indeed is quite important for both the russian budget in the future and for the oil companies know we're coming to a boy once where oil production pretty much still growing and so it needs stimulus and most likely to use some still some economic stimulus in order to attract investment so part of your companies simply don't want to invest but this is one of the first steps the government is speaking to actually give someone sends it to all companies with this reform buy it sell just simply the crude oil expert you would
