that's five pm in moscow this is r g coming to you live on news now with our top story this hour nato says it's close to success in libya as the gadhafi regime has fallen the alliance vowed to continue its presence in the region secured the u.n. mandate meanwhile no one still knows the whereabouts of the fugitive colonel and fighting which we know rebels and government loyalists continues in your hometown the libyan transitional government is demanding the extradition of the colonel's family after they fled to neighboring algeria this comes as rebels claim they have killed the leaders youngest son although that's not been not been independently confirmed in tripoli people are struggling for stability after the rebel takeover. reports. graffiti all around the city proclaims welcome to new tripoli the city has indeed changed appearance recently what used to be one of the most

beautiful on the african a training against now looks neglected and duty. with fighting still continuing in parts of the city and in the rebels and gadhafi forces an army of another kind has taken to the streets where they are. we have forty one year life and they have finished this and now. clean. all glass in the. 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 who fire simulator was. i'll 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 due to technical problems not because

the street fighting here has not good weapons in the hands of youngsters on professional people sami calls himself a liberal middle class now the rich not poor his family lives in a modest house in the center of tripoli but just like every resident there struggling. this is hard i wash clothes like women were doing fifty years ago with hands like this but this battle is nothing comparing to with behind and some says. this was still going to have no water now for the fall but. at least we get turnt up. at least we have our freedom and peace 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 khadafi israel since they get it back nothing else matters refresh now to physically libya. a columnist for foreign policy in focus can hallam and says the nato operation in libya is the implementation of a long prepared plan to bring africa under control. the united states has for the past sixty years so that if it is to have political or economic influence in a peculiar 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

the air power navy all of these things are done and they have to do eventually with control of resources and right now africa is up for grabs. the u.n. has already prepared a document that will ensure its presence in the claims human rights activists and journalists matthioli. in some places this ten page or martin player 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 this is the security council's protection of civilians mandate implemented by nato does not end with the fall because 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 they're banking on would take that as his position without any equivocation is probably wrong. here

with r.t.m. there's plenty i have for you this hour including war contracting exposed u.s. senate committee finds thirty billion dollars of taxpayers' cash wasted or stolen by contractors in afghanistan and iraq warning that as much again is still at risk . and the rural exodus of young people leave russian villages leaving desolate field and crumbling houses where thriving communities once stood. while lingering violence in syria shows no sign of abating a more brutal battle may be on the horizon nourished by a series of fierce political clashes the fragile sectarian balance has started crumbling arena delusional reports syria's religious minorities are under threat protests in syria start out with political slogans. and violence breaks out people come to blows over issues of faith and politics. with 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 no little 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 i was growing up in a place with christians jews muslims another one who 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 was shot on our side is a follower of the elwood 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 mosque to wards roots if someone for

a problem with the government. some people believe this because of this the gene belong to this sect 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 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's murdered so schilens 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 your customs this is the brutal started a lot has changed and it's strange because it must be coming from the outside. whoever is rocking the boat of see it is tolerates we aren't reaching their goal just yet but we're willing attitude of the streets is still that of acceptance but if political unrest or since the lives of many religious minorities in syria could

be at stake. damascus. sectarian violence will most certainly engulf syria if president assad is overthrown so says beirut based political scientist dr not a harsh way she also believes this will have a domino effect on neighboring countries. president assad will never stop that's one thing let's not forget him that's remind all the west and all the surrounding arabic countries that's going against him right now he will never step down this is a dream that will never come true sic therion violence for sure if that will happen which will never do we're going to see a turmoil not only in syria we're going to see in all the surrounding countries lebanon jordan sooty qatar all the gulf areas everything it's going to turn upside down so again i'm saying this is playing with d. fire so they have to think twice about what's going to happen but the thing is

they're not thinking right see the worst this is not their first mistake this is their they're the the hundreds mistake that they've been doing so far and what they did in libya russia will never ever allow to happen in syria. from aleutian in syria is fueled from the outside in. a civil war which will leave the country in shambles that's the opinion of a doctor in for him was a professor from the university in amman. i think that the nato alliance using some regional tools like turkey and the gulf cooperation council are working very hard to instigate instability in syria and this sort of instability will take a sectarian bent specifically they are working on agitating a civil war within syria and they want to call that evolution they have they

want to but the purpose of such a war is to bring syria down to its knees to destroy syria like they did with iraq and libya of course the point is to recreate this syrian regime in the way that is more favorable to the united states government the nato alliance and the royal regimes from. tomorrow. more than one hundred thousand worshippers have spilled into the streets of moscow to celebrate the end of the holy month of ramadan as muslims around the world mark the festival aid tens of thousands of muslims mosques around the capital during the early hours of the morning the turnout was so vast that most of the course were forced to pray outside many streets became blocked however causing chaos on last count basie road network authorities commented on how calm the celebrations were

be coaches held outside communities that they will be the destruction and the damaging of any kind of symbols that are associated with the israeli government and to this day and be army is also preparing for the worst case scenario which is essentially violence shooting and any kind of terrorist activity. our website we're asking what you think is the reason behind israel's urgent preparations just under a fifth say jewish state is just concerned for his people safety fourteen percent say the israelis are simply being paranoid another eleven percent think it's a way of distracting people from the economic woes inside the country but most of you over half the votes cast think it's all a provocation aimed at discrediting fatalis indians and ruining their chances at the un statehood vote join in the discussion drop us a line at r t v dot com. when the un does vote on the creation of

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 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 yet 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 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 backs of the people rather than on themselves . parenting's kaiser report focuses on for a growing disenchantment with the u.s. economy among the general public and anger that's already spilling onto the streets the report is coming your way at three thirty pm g.m.t. here's a quick look at what's in store. you know the global insurrection against banker occupation we've been telling you about it for months now it's coming to new york

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 we're treating them more life in the countryside is no longer attractive especially for young people who are fleeing to cities looking for a better life. 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 or 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 are only a drop in the ocean and aren't enough to motivate the youth to work and 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 life still exist here in their mean on you for the fall silent all together they will lose but
