joining me from you know this is politics so. now we're just after eleven am here in moscow this is r.t. with meet real research welcome to the program nato says it has no immediate plans to end its operations in libya despite the rebels now controlling most of the country. continuing to bomb the town of sirte the main program have a stronghold which rebels have given until saturday to surrender. rebel control but authorities maria financial reports with almost every youngster in the country now carrying a gun that's far from saif. how much is a libyan rebel they got in politics and fighting against gadhafi soldiers in super shima truthfully with a shot coming from his moves hired gun shots. i didn't even notice until my friend

told me that my foot was bleeding he pulled the trigger by mistake he was still scary himself. one of the biggest stories was discovered top security prison in southern tripoli where inmates were released after nato bombed the area. of the country it was without arms it looks like living kids had already developed a fascination for the weapons of war. right around her real one and also got guys like in southeast in your story if you save of soon start gathering up weapons of mass i hope police are back on the streets the young gunman got it straight already that's. all it will get back to them as soon as they ask the system but many here are afraid that this addiction they have a painful wrist for the gun has become one of the symbols of the libyan rebels and

freedom for a new country though people want more peaceful symbols of fear it will be easy for many to lay down their arms when the guard has played such a prominent role throughout libya's volatile history riddle r.t. tripoli libya. reporter for the online magazine spiked believes that nato wants to stay because it has no clue vision of what actually lies ahead for labor. fundamentally with the transitional government this being put in place what you have here is a government that's been cherry picked by the west these are people it's aren't elected they also need to try and win a debate with the libyan people about why they're in any way more legitimate thing get out feet so i wouldn't say this is in any way a revolution in the west western governments basically bombing a path. of a grab bag of rebels and filling the vacuum left by gadhafi isn't seen any way what i would revolution but that's i mean i think more fundamentally than that there's

been no sense from nato from western leaders while they were doing in the first place and they've not at any point had a key 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 was no mission creep going on it was only because they didn't have any idea of what they were trying to achieve in the first place and it's no surprise that now gadhafi is gone they're still hanging around because they're still unsure they're still unclear they want to get some brownie points from this you know and have made some short term political gains as a result of it. stephen brown of our front page magazine believes the fighting will go on even if colonel gadhafi is eventually captured. i think even if they do find a daffy this is on the first stage of a multi-stage war in libya now the tribes are going to fight each other over the oil revenues are dishonest are going to start fighting this the. national transition council they already assassinated the head of the military i think

they're just the beginning of the problems this is really a tribal fight these tribes can be rented but not bought this can go back and forth and who knows how long it will go like this is really a war book controlling libyan oil supplies they went to war against gadhafi because they were going to be cut out of future exploration deals in favor of china and india so we had to be replaced now they'll tolerate a transnational council nato as long as it can get the contracts that they wanted there was billions and billions of dollars but if the trans national council starts giving a problem there will be more warfare to get rid of these people. well we spoke to were british labor m.p. barry gardner who opposed the allied intervention in libya the full interview is available on our website at r.t. dot com but for an hour it's a sneak peek. it was very clear in the original un resolution it was very clear for our prime minister spoke in parliament here that there would be no occupation force as one of the things that troubled me all

this was this and really evidence as to whether there should be troops on the ground as the rebels were going into tripoli we. go left go left go left these instructions being yelled out by obviously british soldiers british personnel who were leading that advance group now that i think is where we've overstepped the line. with r.t. live from moscow the syrian army has once again been deployed to the city of hama in search of opposition activists last month the city was overrun by tank forces leaving dozens dead meanwhile amnesty international has accused syria of killing eighty eight people in prison during the five month ongoing uprising activists claimed the victims were imprisoned and tortured to death for taking part in and see government demos this comes after at least seven people were killed during

a crackdown on the muslim holiday. dr ahmad badawi of the transformer conflict analysis center and other things serious religious tension will begin if the opposition ultimately topples president assad. it would be showing signs or. not it. is the sects in syria. who. it was initially forces. and got them all you have. perfectly how can you give food to give because we've of. in this country try to ignore the word. that is here personally in religious conflict as long as everybody's united it was what we we are successful. in we may see some who just pension.

a professor at me as i turn at university and thinks the revolution in syria it's field from the outside and i'm going to get out in a civil. i think that the nato alliance using some regional tools like search 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 everybody loosen they can 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 a way that is more favorable to the united states no room on the nato alliance and

the royal arab regimes from saudi arabia to moral coal. power nearly ten minutes past the hour here in the russian capital if you want with still to come for you this hour financial blame game. the market. trial it is trust. me. political process while your policy makers accuse the markets of threatening the eurozone recovery experts point the finger at the politicians themselves and their indecision. plus a multi-billion dollar war chest wasted by the us we look at where the american taxpayers' money allocated for iraq and afghanistan has gone and i ask the experts if there's more bad news to come. three suicide bombers have carried out attacks on the russian republic of chechnya leaving at least eight people dead twenty injured one of the terrorists has already been identified as the

brother of a suicide bomber who blew himself up in the republican capital last year he's been a question about the latest on the story. the capital of the chechen republic grozny was headed by three blasts the first happened late in the evening on the road leading to the cedars and for which a suicide bomber blew himself up when police tried to stop him for an idea half an hour later as this thing plays of the first blast of the second and third attacks happened when investigators and emergency workers arrived at the scene overall eight people were killed and among them six are confirmed to be police officers this multiple bombings in one place attract more people and cause more casualties is a well known tactic for many terrorists across the world and we've seen that happening in iraq and afghanistan the leader of the chechen republic i was on could describe those behind this attack ask criminals and he said that they have once again shown

their true face as they have a nothing secret with these attacks happening on one of the most important muslim celebrations of the day of each which marks the end of the holy month of ramadan and the number of a terror acts across the world increases during this holy month before muslims. all of the tragedy in russian stretching republic about the day she was saying marking the end of the holy month of ramadan if you log on to our website you can see how thousands of russian muslims worship was gathered in the capital's mosques by schooling onto the surrounding streets and lanes we pulled out put it in full dot com. with our t. it's good to have you with us today to global energy giants america's exxon mobile

a million israeli settlers they couldn't care less there has been so many decisions they cleared in the un that have absolutely no meaning and are baseless un only wanted nobody's go home but palestinians say they'll be the ones now going home and like it or not nigeria and israeli settlers will soon find themselves citizens of palestine once the un recognizes palestine within these borders now there's no argument this is occupation international law apply for months now the israeli army has been fine tuning its response to the un vote. and there was a lot of equipment a normal two hundred women. from the training a lot of. around twenty million dollars in the separation the army is also training settlers in self-defense the working assumption of the israeli defense establishment is there comes

a team but they will be confrontations between israelis and palestinians they fear that they will be marchers protests and in some cases even violence but it's an assumption and many would say overreaction that threatens to inflame the situation on the ground israel has been doing everything it care to deliver as this whole idea of abode and it's not only the palestinians it's shortchanging this here. is through spreading also on the on population is not justified because at the end of the water policy of arguing with the political therapy and trying to achieve a legitimate the through politics and they think this is far better. than try to achieve. a little nothing fair or war and irony is that the army might just be focusing its resources. wrong population you think that we are going to leave the country because danger though is that as these we defense forces to pay for

conflict people on both sides of the border begin to expect one policy r.t. tel aviv. time for you to get involved here r.t. we are always eager to know what you think about top stories and today we are asking you why israel is arming its citizens are checking up and starts right here on our opinions divided right now by the majority believe it's done to provoke an armed conflict and thus torpedo the un vote on palestinian statehood eighteen percent think israel is just protecting its citizens thirteen percent say the aim is to distract the israelis from the country's economic woes and that minority considers the israeli government to be overcautious blog and article to calm down anytime you like today though soon as possible if you could r.t. dot com for the. he used economic commissioner olli rehn has expressed concern that uncertainty in the global financial market could derail hopes for a european recovery

a special meeting of the european parliament calls for e.u. leaders to implement crisis measures agreed upon last month but that includes a second bailout for greece and to save the euro from catastrophe but with a deal not yet finalized the market so wary of what politicians are doing this according to italian business journalist francisco sixty. in europe the main point is that politics and markets don't see a really decisive political leadership peel ross saw coming in steps in with some political real strong measures called the euro i'm afraid euro will be still in europe have not come to grips with nor solution for both the greek crisis but i would say also for the european crisis in fact italy and spain are also in dangers and these are much bigger economy and.

therefore much bigger risk and dangers to your royal. we know our financial issues are across the ocean and has discussed the ways out of the ongoing so all across or coming your way in about fifteen minutes time here and i'll tell you but for that well here's a quick look at what's in store. the problem in our economy isn't a lack of liquidity in the world's awash in liquidity it just doesn't know where to go japan's long term prospects are terrible european welfare states are collapsing and of course the big government policies of bush and obama have made the united states very unattractive so i really think the fed is completely out of the picture all they can do is make things worse by giving us i guess nine hundred seventy style stagflation the problem is the banks themselves weren't terribly intelligent so they took the free money they made a great deal of profit out of it and then lo and behold they decided that they'd

pay huge bonuses to a lot of traders because these traders they regarded as being superman and that was very unfortunate because ultimately if you give me money for nothing it's very very easy to make a profit from it and that's all quantitative easing has achieved for all of us. crosstalk is about ten minutes away that will be after the business with kareena the u.s. senate committee on wartime contracting has found that thirty billion dollars of taxpayers' money is missing or has been stolen by contractors working in iraq and afghanistan over the past decade a report claims the money was squandered due to poor planning lack of oversight and outright fraud by u.s. contractors and federal employees the findings will be presented to congress as washington prepares to cut defense spending to tackle america's enormous that the

contents of the report won't be a complete surprise with poor cost control of reconstruction in afghanistan already confirmed last october but it's former bush administration official michael o'brien says more money will be squandered for many many years to come. three more billion could be wasted because things have been built that won't be able to maintain they can't maintain them in countries like iraq and afghanistan you have to when you build something like a power plant you have to be able to maintain it not read it and the afghanis simply don't have the ability to do that i predict anyway american firms will have to go over there and they will have to stay there are these power plants. and if the government of afghanistan if karzai says no no contractors will take care of it we'll end up paying afghanis engineers an operator's to maintain these things and i feel safe in saying that money will

disappear. and assist and it's a war dot com drug laser this report is important but hopes it can change the situation dying fast the recommendations within the report sort of have the air of the usual washington type advice build another bureaucracy to watch over it for oversight in this department you know hire an inspector general so on and so forth i'm concerned that the recommendations of this committee although their analysis of waste is very valuable and concerned that their recommendations won't even take place or if they do they'll be wasteful still. just after twenty past the hour here in moscow you with our time now for the world update here for you the e.u. has launched a special operation in the north of course of the union says it's in relation to a criminal investigation into the death of a policeman in clashes last month about. iraq today when the region's or thirty's

instance exxon mobil will take on most of the expenses on the first stages of the project when it comes to the exploration and development of the oil fields on russia's arctic shelf its plans about three point two billion u.s. dollars will be directly invested into all exploration of alone there although according to russia's prime minister vladimir putin was present at the signing of this strategic cooperation agreement the amount of direct investment into this project could become over one hundred times bigger in the future and it's now a bit more clear on where the prime minister got these figures from it's estimated that the russians arctic shelf deposits there containing around one hundred ten billion barrels of oil the two companies are also an exxon mobil have also agreed to establish a joint arctic study center which will be based in st petersburg and will be put together for both the russian and american specialist all this is great news for us

and us which is a russia's biggest oil company and it has been looking for a partner to develop these all of us on russia's arctic shelf for quite some time but the multibillion dollar deal with british petroleum feel to go through in january. now that's and more well will also get to court in the development of all deposits in western siberia and on the black sea and according to russia's vice premier eager to see action the black sea project could grow in the future into. is it getting to keep in the development of the oil fields in the united states and at least six projects including in texas and in the gulf of mexico so this is a great opportunity for you have to in terms of its global expansion ends in terms of the exchange of experience and no house with exxon mobil which is considered to be the biggest oil company in the world. ross that will hold

a sixty six percent stake in the joint venture while mobile will keep the rust or softness of all that from deutsche bank believes that the significance of the deal goes well beyond russia's energy sector. now with this deal there's. greater sign of the openness of this sector with regard to foreign investment and that i think should be a trigger for greater capital inflows into russia which in turn is quite important because until recently the inflow of foreign capital was very subdued and russia's inflows of f.b.i. are still around fifty percent lower than what we've seen before the crisis so i think this could precisely be one of those triggers that could finally change the situation with respect to the capital flows issue with the structural up front. let's look at the markets now asian markets are trading mixed hong kong stocks are moving higher with key gainers among property and technology stocks in the case
