marie babyhood to larry correction the applause of the ladies reginald lila was a movie the medicine ship that was punished but they pretty much promised. nato says it will continue its presence in libya as long as it needs to despite also saying the gadhafi regime is now a thing of the past. with revolutionary sons and is growing daily in syria fears are mounting that the political crisis may be spiraling into a religious one. palestinian alert israeli defense forces reportedly prepare for an awful rising handing out tear gas and stun grenades to sup worse as the u.n. vote for palestinian statehood approaches. and american all dried outs of rubble and russia's ross now strike a historic cooperation deal paving the way for joy oil exploration from the gulf of mexico to russia's vast parts of china.

just after nine pm here in the russian capital you're watching artsy nato says it's close to success in libya as the gadhafi regime has fallen for the alliance vowed to continue its presence in the region to secure that you run mandate meanwhile no one still knows the whereabouts of the fugitive colonel and the fighting between rebels and government loyalists continues near gadhafi his hometown of the libyan transitional government is denouncing the extradition of the colonel's family after they fled to neighboring algeria this comes as a rebels claim to have killed the leaders youngest son although that's not been independently confirmed now in tripoli people are struggling for stability after the rebel takeover parties media financial reports. graffiti on 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 a train in khost now looks neglected and dirty. with fighting still continuing in proud of the city but in the rebels and gadhafi forces an army of another kind has taken to the streets. saying here. we have forty one year old to have things like this and now actually in zero three zero zero zero plus in. 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 will fire sooner or later i was. going to be. why. it. 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 of the street fighting. that's not good weapons in the hands of youngsters on professional people some in calls himself live in middle class now the reshma poor his family lives in the mood his house in the center of tripoli but just like every resident is struggling. this is hard i wash clothes like women were doing fifty years ago hands like this but this battle is nothing compared to what's behind us and says. this was the you don't have us this. water and offered all but. at least we get turned off. and the school seems to be shared by many. people that they may not be the best place to live and 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 gadhafi his rule since they get back nothing else matters rich notion our t. . oh for more on the situation in libya by patrick hayes a reporter for the online magazine is spike lee joining us live from london mr hayes now a libya's new government has revealed its new constitution it's one that is trying sharia law as its foundation now considering the experiences of iraq and afghanistan just how democratic and corruption free can such a state be. well actually if you look at the constitutional charter yes it does say that it will it will recognize a state religion. and also implement sharia law but actually in general if you go through the constitution it does actually make various claims saying it will

safeguard freedom of expression equal opportunities and make sure that people all he wants muslim will actually be fine and able to pursue a prosperous life in libya that's not the aspect i'm so worried about with this and i think there is some scaremongering about the fact that the libyan government may fall into shariah hands now with the muslim brotherhood which actually i think speaks to a kind of western if left to the libyan people themselves to determine the kind of country that they want they want to go off and then it may fall into the hands of extreme islamists i don't think that's a realistic assessment of what's going to happen but i mean i think fundamentally with the transitional government that's been put in place what you have here is a government that's been cherry picked by the west far from being some kind of. muslim extremist group is instead a lot of the cronies and people in the west have judged suitable writing this position for the last few months a transitional council and very much been oriented to trying to please western

leaders and get their support for governing libya grafton the libyan people i think you could start with democracy in libya who'd be for them to try and gain legitimacy from the libyan people instead yes speaking about that are you talking about a government put in place by nato i mean the m.t.c. says it's concern now is securing the rest of the country but even with all the bad blood between the rebels and the loyalists how can there possibly be peace especially with growing reservations about what you have said the government put into place by nato. well i think that is a problem and i think as well as securing the rest of the country they also need to try and win a debate with the libyan people about why they're in any way more legitimate rulers think gadhafi these are people that aren't elected they've been selected by nato and by the west. people that they're willing to work with and they're willing to be given embassies but if the libyan people still do not have a voice and i think it's fundamental this is well as securing us in libya which of course they're trying to do it moments they do win that debate they say this is our

constitutional chance and this is what we stand for this is the way we think the country should be dolphins really put that it's a libyan people for them to make up their own minds but i mean also fundamentally in terms of securing the country i think it's the absence of that you see from the transitional government the absence of any real sense of what they're going to do next other than just you know basically implement the kind of blueprints that you know the west seems happy with this is going to cause real problems here in some ways actually rather than securing the with the country i think it's actually in the interests of the transitional government and probably noto as well for gadhafi to remain at large because then they have the specter that people can unite around they can then say right we need to get gadhafi he's the number one threat although a lot of time they play that down and i think in some ways they probably want seems continue to be at large and they want him captured because that's the one thing they can unite around ok and then now let's talk about the fall of tripoli everywhere tripoli fell almost all the western leaders cheered that this is

a job he has finally fall and just days later about nato promises to stay for as long as necessary but why stay if the revolution is over. well first i wouldn't say this is in any way a revolution it was the west western governments basically building a path. of a rag bag of rebels and filling the vacuum left by gadhafi isn't seen anyway what i would revolution but that's something that i think more fundamentally than that there's been no sense from nato from western leaders what they were doing in the first place it was born out of emotional reaction a knee jerk reaction to try and save lives in benghazi and they'd not at any point had a case here in the sense of what the mission is and there's a lot of talk a lot of grandstanding over the last few days about this a job well done there is no mission creep with the exam there was no mission creep going on it was only because they didn't have any idea of what no trying to achieve in the first place and it's no surprise that now gadhafi is gone they're still

hanging around because you know they're still on the shore they're still unclear they want to get some brownie points drawn this you know and have made some short term political gain for the results but it's obviously what they don't want is a back you or big kind of crisis to happen now which means that those police face you know all of their kind of big tub thumping that you know we come in and save the day. because there's been a lot of that in life ok just very briefly i do want to ask you the u.n. was quite vocal in its promises to unfreeze international libyan assets but now we're learning that it may not be so simple that banks are claiming that they don't know who to send the money to they cite legal complications just how likely is it you think that the cash will reach. well i think you know there will doubtless be technical and legal complications for years to come when it comes to the un producing about it this would be made much easier i think in many ways especially making the moral and political grounds as to why the asset should be on the frozen by a government which is actually kind of organically from the people rather than cherry

picked from the west if the transitional government could actually say we represent the libyan people genuinely genuinely represent their voices rather than just basically coming in from another country having being trained by the west basically fulfilled these functions then i think they could have much more live legitimate moral and political play and although i do think there will always be legal technicalities wranglings in these kind of situations which could go on for many years all right thank you very much for analysis there pressure case reporter from the online magazine spiked thank you. you're watching our team and there's plenty ahead for you this hour including contracting expose the u.s. senate committee five thirty billion dollars of taxpayers' cash wasted or stolen by contractors in afghanistan and iraq warning that as much again is still at risk. well lingering the 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 you know delusional reports 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. but more than four thousand years of history damascus like the rest of syria has been home to multiple faith for centuries we've become increasingly the economists 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 come pretty firm hold like most christians in a country it's a lie she's been used to since her childhood with the i was growing up in a place with christians jews muslims another one right 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 bashar al assad is a follower of the always 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 all over it's if someone a problem with the government. some people believe this because of this. along with district and we have to struggle against the sick and this can be a bloody battle other than oh 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 griese murder so she highlands 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 the boat it's the historians aren't reaching their goal just yet agreeing attitudes on the streets is still that of acceptance but if the political unrest worsens the lives of lady religious minorities in syria could be at stake if you make. him ask us. also terror and violence will most certainly and gulf syria if president assad is overthrown so says beirut based political scientist dr another she also believes that this will have a domino effect on neighboring countries. president assad will never step down that's one thing let's not forget in metz remind all the west than 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 security and violence for sure if that's if that will happen which you will never do we going to see a turmoil not only in syria we're going to see in all the surrounding countries

lebanon jordan sooty all gulf areas everything it's going to turn out side down so again i'm saying this is playing with deep 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 their. hundreds mistake that they have been doing so far what they did in libya russia will never ever allowed to happen in syria now the israeli defense force is reportedly preparing sutlers for the mass uprising of palestinians expected after the u.n. a vote on a palestinian statehood in september will of corporations include handing out tear gas and stun grenades to civilians or peace polis leader has more now on how israelis are bracing themselves for what they see as imminent aggressed. the israeli army is preparing for what it's calling operation on the seeds it is

preparing for september when it's widely expected at the united nations general assembly will vote in favor of establishing a palestinian state now the army has identified rigid lines around every settlement in this country what this means is that as palestinian protesters the protesters are meant at first they will be fired at with tear gas if they then continue to approach closer to the settlement soldiers will be given the order to fire at their feet and use any other kinds of means they can as 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 settlements and cells it's also giving specific orders on what it was should you do if people approach the borders if indeed the roads are blocked if they fear that someone has included hated the community it is also a growing fear here there comes a kimber they will be shortly given fuel gas and groceries to kill you because this is one instance of this it would save lives have been given instruction to stock up

and now the working assumption of the israeli defense establishment is that come september they will be violence they will be confrontations between israelis and palestinians they will be what is being termed public disorder what we're hearing from the army and from the various reports that are being bandied about is that they anticipate that they will be monitored by palestinians to name roads into into junctions between main streets that they will be potest held communities that it will be the destruction and the damaging of any kind of symbols that are associated with the israeli government and so this in the army is all to preparing for the worst case scenario which is essentially vinings and any kind of terrorist activities. and military resistance to palestinians will only bring international sanctions on israel after palestine is recognized and results well that's a. jeff helper a political activist and co-founder of the israeli committee against house

demolitions it's clear that israel is not going to allow or it's going to try not to allow september to happen israel has no intention of giving up its control of the art right there or thirds there until today israel's managed to keep its whole settlement enterprise because it's succeeded in getting the united states close to characterize the occupation as just butyrate stories and not real occupation once the un recognizes palestine within these borders now there's no argument this is off you please should an international law is a problem probably one hundred forty countries will recognize palestine and israel is going to be under a lot of pressure to meet try to maintain the occupation i don't think the the military resistance to the palestinians is going to help i think it's actually going to make the tire national community impose sanctions on israel the big

campaign will be after september getting the israeli presence out of the sovereign state of palestine don't forget you can always check our website for the latest updates on our stories and hear some of what's on my right now and invented the ultimate honeypots the story of an airbase in kyrgyzstan about half the u.s. and russia playing off against each other to the tune of millions of dollars. of light show literally becomes a premier attraction as a thousand riders roar into town to praise a world war two thousand euros battle cruiser return to action again as pyrotechnics house evoke memories of this video and much more can be found on you tube channel. for the last few months are proven disheartening for america in afghanistan in july and august being the two deadliest for u.s. troops since the war began a decade ago that comes as a senate committee into wartime contracting this fall. thirty billion dollars of taxpayers' money missing or stolen by contractors and the final report claims the

money was squandered due to poor planning a rack of oversight and alkali fraud by u.s. contractors and federal employees and it also was that another thirty billion could be wasted in the last tough measures are taken and the findings are now to be presented to congress as a cash strapped washington prepares to trim defense spending to tackle its enormous tax but american economist and radio host richard wolfe 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 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 we're ninety was throwing up is a man's 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 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

now let's get some world news in brief this hour a demonstration in iraq calling for greater protection of one of the world's biggest salt water lakes trying to violent protesters threw stones at security forces and police reportedly fired back and it is unclear whether they were using that's why it's taken a couple of days for the story to come to light as locals were said to be too afraid to talk about it and foreign mentally said been a raise and be a lot over the baker years saying its very existence is threatened by. the hundreds of a.n.c. protesters have clashed with police in south africa ahead of a disciplinary hearing of the ruling party's youth league leader. is a piece of sowing visions of the party and embarrassing the president by calling for what's want his regime to be ousted the police is trying to break off the a stone throwing demonstrators with bar can rubber bullets and stun grenades malema faces expulsion from the a.n.c. at the close door here. american oil giant x.

and mobil and russia's rust nuff have signed a historic cooperation deal paving the way for further joint oil exploration and development from the gulf of mexico to russia's vast arctic shelf are he told his goodall spells out the details of the deal. this is quite an impressive deal would should open brand new opportunities board for russia's biggest company also and for u.s. energy giant exxon mobil first of all if you companies will be jointly developing the all fields on the russian arctic shelf we've already talked about some really impressive figures they're planning to invest three point two billion dollars in oil exploration but according to prime minister vladimir putin who was present at the signing of this cooperation agreement between this was happening he said that in the future this figure could become over a hundred times bigger which is a really good news for us since the company has been looking for

a porter to develop the oil fields in the arctic shelf for quite some time the last set of negotiations with british petroleum fields and out of all the global energy giants out there exxon mobil has managed to make the most adequate proposal also under this agreement the american energy giants will also take part in the development of oil fields on the black sea and according to russian officials this project of the black sea project could grow in the future and in turn will be part of at least six world development projects in the united states and in the gulf of mexico so this is a great opportunity for the two companies to exchange their experience and no house in the oil development business while more on of this still have business bulletin with you yeah coming up next.

a decision on the taxation in the oil and gas sector so there is greater visibility and now this deal i think for there will attract interest from portfolio investors and will really make the will and gas sector especially in this relatively high oil price environment really one of the more interesting so there is within russia's space. which brings us to the markets oil prices are rallying on choosing a reaction to rumors about goldman sachs has purchased a massive quantity of well and signs that they implemented additional stimulus measures at a quick look at precious metals now gold is up again following its worst weekly performance in two months last week so what is also higher. stocks applied on the news consumer confidence has pulling in all this both down the master losing one one point two percent respectively and their rally in britain's banking stocks i'm sure will see one hundred index closed nearly three percent higher today
