minutes time. it's three pm here in moscow this is our g coming to you live on news now with our top story this hour and family members of colonel gadhafi had fled libya to neighboring algeria this comes as rebels claim to have killed the colonel's youngest son artie's marie from notional reports now from the capital as people struggle for stability following the recent rebel takeover. goofy shield around the sea chief who claims well continue tripoli the city has indeed changed appearance recently. what used to be one of the most beautiful on the african mentor a incased now looks neglected and duty. with fighting still continues in parts

of the city and in the rebels and gadhafi forces an army of another kind has taken to the streets where they only. have forty one year life they're finished with this and now. clean. oh bless you 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 was. i'll be. home to the biggest aquaduct in the world tripoli has been without trying water for more than a week already and you authorities claim is your technical problems not because of the street fighting. that's not good weapons in the hands of youngsters on professional people. sammy calls himself liberal middle class now there are poor

his family lives in the mood his house in the center of tripoli for just like every resident is struggling. this is hard i wish kluge like women were doing fifty years ago with hands like this this battle is nothing comparing to it's a hind limbs and he says. to you don't tell this to. water. you know for the. ugliest we get rid of. at least we have our freedom and baseball is seems to be shared by many here to call it a day may not be the best place to live it's dangerous from both a 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 it back nothing else matters if

not an hour to fearfully libya. columnist for foreign policy in focus on how many the nato operation in libya is an implementation of bush era plans to gain control over africa. fielitz states has for the past sixty years felt that if it is to have political or economic influence and a bit to kill or 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 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 navy all of these things are done they have to do eventually with control of resources and right now africa is up for grabs. and human rights activists not

nearly as the u.n. has already drafted a document that would ensure its future presence in libya. in some places this ten page 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 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 fall of the 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 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. oh we're always eager to know your take on our top story today we're asking you about the situation in libya and how it will unfold with rebel forces in control of most

of the capital here's how are divided right now almost half of you believe the rebels will be stuck in a lot more for years to come 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 different markets will take control of the situation from here on or gravel forces will fight on until victory is plain my arguments are probably the line of yours. russia has continued its cause 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 to use every nickel 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 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 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 brits if someone finds a problem with the government. some people believe this because of this. long the district and we have to struggle against the sick and this can be a bloody battle over them i don't know why my son was killed he was just working in a shop when his killers knew that he was not politically active and we 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 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. who are is rocking the boat of syria which is tolerance 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 go to mass because. political scientist nada. 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. the president. has called for a dialogue and so far. feel as if the 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 out side down. the return of the syrian population stands for reform and there is no

better alternative london based investigative journalist simon. the idea of adding more sanctions to syria is completely counterproductive most of the syrians i've spoken to special 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 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 publish the regime so that i think will be very very counterproductive and has been rejected by i think quite a few of the syrians i have spoken for most would prefer dialogue and i think this is very much the way a lot of them would like to go now whether bashar al 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 be the nato getting involved having another libya type situation all 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 drawing away from them. but you can follow the latest developments on the story on our website and on twitter check out the latest pictures from the spot and the latest tweets from our correspondent in the country and her latest message archies arena golinski on the ground says spite some reports that helicopters are just bursting demonstrations over to mask and she sees nothing in the sky other watch that aren t. underscore come to be on top of the latest developments in syria.

the israeli army is reportedly planning to hand out tear gas and sound grenades to the settlers in the west bank the move is part of the tri. ahead of a mass protests which israel fears might happen in september as palestinians try to gain statehood in. the details and now joins us live from tel aviv although it sounds like some controversy and desperate measures are being taken what else have you heard about this. well the israeli army is preparing for what it's calling operation on the sea it is preparing for september when it's widely expected at the united nations general assembly will vote in favor obviously a palestinian state now the army has identified ridge lines around them and in this country what this means is that at the palestinian protesters approaches to them and at first they will be fired up with tear gas if they then continue to approach close to the settlement soldiers will be given the order to fire at the fleet and

use any other kinds of means they feel is necessary for dispersing the crowd the army does seem to be disparate it has been holding intensive training for internal security establishments with in the system and in cells it's also giving specific orders on what should you do if people approach the borders if indeed the roads are blocked if they fear that someone has infiltrated the community it is also a growing fear here there comes a tinder they will be sure to get in fuel and gas and groceries particularly within this woman's into this order has been given instruction to stock up now. can you give us any more details on what exactly the israeli army is preparing for i mean what are people there on the ground saying. well the working assumption are these ready to go into starvation and if there comes a can that there will be violence there will be confrontations between israelis and palestinians they will be what is being termed here public disorder not be hearing

from the army and on the various reports that are being bandied about is that they anticipate that they will be marches by palestinians to name goes into it into junctions between main street where it will be poachers held communities that it will be the destruction and the damaging of any kind of symbols that are associated with the israeli government and invest in the army is also preparing for the worst case scenario which is essentially violence and any kind of terrorist activities. are to use polls we are live from tel aviv thanks for that update. now 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 are to go in turmoil in global markets still poses a serious risk for greece also remains a pressing issue for european officials as it awaits

a second without lout back in july but there are fears the rescue plan could reach the relevant some press concerns over how the greek government will pay back a one hundred nine billion euro deal patrick young executive director of the investment firm devi advisors told r.t. that rich e.u. nations make it almost impossible to reach meaningful solution 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 see if the difficulty is that a lot of the politicians and and bureaucrats. simply have been too slow to realize the extent of the problem because they managed to pin to put the cracks for the past five or six years we thought we could keep doing so we keep having these for small strug remans that signed wonderful everybody says the euro zone crisis is

solved and there's within a matter of a few meek's we have a further crisis in another economy and 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 of the law and they've been throwing money at any possible problems and all they're doing is walt here bringing 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 across the atlantic some x. astounding figures coming out 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 the report cites weak planning and lack of control of accusing individual officials of using their positions the findings but absent rock obama's rose as he tries to battle this country's week of harmony the us president has recently appointed a new economic advisor to. the financial system but american economist and radio host richard roth says the measures that governments 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 pride. that 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 we're 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 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 merits of the people rather than on themselves

a hobby sygate travels around the country and explores deserted towns and villages he says he's used to seeing tumbled down barns and abandoned houses even in these areas known for centuries for their great harvests. this is fertile land you can stick a pole in the soil here and it will have peppers growing on its one side and tomatoes on the other shore some other cultural facilities are still left in some areas but mostly the lambs are empty abandoned. official figures show that over three thousand villages in russia became deserted last year alone i mean a small schools and hospitals have shut down there's simply no one to educate or treat anymore and life in the countryside is nor longer attractive especially for young people who are fleeing to cities looking for a better life when. it's not the village which is becoming extinct it's the youth reasons for self motivation people are leaving their villages for 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 rural communities and as many try to survive in cities looking for work because the side is dying out although some traces of life still exist here and there it may not be too long before they fall silent all together. but you know. what. he got is going off central russia. time now for a business update with kareen. welcome
