city and in the rebels and get out as forces an army of another kind has taken to the streets. where thing here. we have forty one years like the good thing is to have this and now i know you clean all. all of last year with police no longer on the ground armed volunteers maintaining order something that would new residents are very concerned about if there is a gun they say it will fire sooner or later i was the. only people. i. came 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 some because himself and even middle class now the rhaetian are poor his family lives in the mood his house in the center of tripoli for just like every resident there struggling. this is hard i wash clothes like women good june if two years ago with hands like this but this battle is nothing comparing to what's behind them sunny says. this was the rules on television. water. and also the fall but. at least we get rid of. it at least we have our freedom and the spoils 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 humanitarian and security problems have you tried 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 get it back nothing else matters or if not now are to people in libya. a columnist for foreign policy in focus can helen and says the nato operation in libya is the implementation of the long prepared a bush era plan to bring africa under its control the united states has for the past sixty years felt that if it is to have political or economic influence in a big killer 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 course has been done which calls for an invasion of an african country not using troops but here power lavey all of these things are build on and they have to do

a venture going with control of resources and right now africa is up for grabs. by the un has already prepared a document that will ensure its presence in libya claims human rights activists and journalists nothing really. in some places this can pager morten plan 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 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 really the position of some countries but the idea that being ki-moon would take that is his position without any equivocation is probably wrong. and you're watching r t and there's plenty ahead for you this hour including war contracting expose a u.s.

senate committee finds thirty billion dollars of taxpayers' cash wasted or stolen by contractors of afghanistan and iraq warning that as much again is still at risk . and the rural exodus young people flee russian villages leaving desolate fields that frankly houses where thriving communities of once stood. a lingering of 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 i started crumbling and i started city to report serious 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 not 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 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 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 should allow so it is a follower of the old 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 more city towards brits if someone find a problem with the government. some people believe this because of this regime

belong to this stick 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 a violent 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 since the protests started a lot has changed and it's strange for us it must be coming from the outside. who are is rocking the boat of syrian religious tolerance aren't reaching their goal just yet the prevailing attitude on the streets is still bad of acceptance but if the political unrest worsens the lives of many religious minorities in syria could be at stake. him ask us. also terry in violence will most

certainly and gulf syria if president assad is overthrown so says beirut based political scientist dr not harsh we also believe that this will have a domino effect on neighboring countries. president assad will never step down that's one thing let's not forget and 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's if that will happen which you 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 deeds fire so they have to think twice about what's going to happen but the thing is they're not thinking right see the west this is not their first mistake this is. the the hundreds

mistake that they've been doing so far what they did in libya russia will never ever allowed to happen in syria oh revolution in syria is fuel from the outside and aimed at igniting a civil war which will leave the country in a shambles that's the opinion of dr ibrahim aleutians a professor at these h one university in nevada. i think that the nato alliance using some regional tools like turkey. the gulf cooperation council are working very hard to instigate instability in syria and this sort of instability will take a sick bent specifically they are working on agitating a civil war within syria and they want to call that everybody loose and they can have they want to but the purpose of such a war is to bring syria gone to its knees and destroy syria like they did with iraq

and libya force the point is to recreate this syrian regime in a way that is more favorable to the united states government the nato alliance and the royal regimes from saudi arabia to a moral code. now 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 market festival of aid tens of thousands of muslims flock to mosques around the capital during the early hours of the morning the turnout was so great the vast majority of worshippers were forced to create outside of many streets became blocked or whatever causing chaos on oscar was busy road network authorities commented on how calm the celebrations were and said there had been no incidents islam is the fastest growing and second biggest religion in russia with more than ten million followers. of israeli defense forces reportedly preparing

are associated with the israeli government and to this in the army is also preparing for the worst case scenario which is essentially violence shooting and any kind of terrorist activities. and on our guard side we're asking what you think is the reason behind israel's urgent. well is so i wouldn't say it's hard there are sixty two percent. those who voted think the jewish state is just concerned for its people safety eleven percent say the israelis are simply being paranoid whole nine percent think it's a way of distracting the people from the economic woes inside the country but almost two out of three respondents think it's all a provocation indeed scrapping the palestinians and ruining their chances at the un vote you can join in at r.t. dot com. where the un votes on the creation of a palestinian statehood israeli diplomacy will undergo the ultimate test well that's what the former director general of the israeli ministry of foreign affairs expects and his interview is coming in about fifteen minutes time. now the last few
