because a report. nato says it plans to continue its presence in libya as people on the ground claim the latest threat to their safety now comes from weapons falling into inexperienced. two of the suicide bombers who carried out deadly attacks in the capital of russia's chechen republic have now been identified the blasts killed at least eight and injured over twenty. and as israel reportedly trains and the west bank settlers ahead of a u.n. vote on palestinian statehood experts are warning the anticipation of violence that could ultimately spark a conflict. between business russia has struck a multi-billion dollar deal with the world's biggest oil company exxon mobil just

months after the collapse of the tie up with b.p. join us for the latest on the story business bulletin it's. a very warm welcome to you this is our live from moscow with me roll reception nato says it has no immediate plans to end its operations in libya despite the rebels now controlling most of the country here are continuing to bomb the town of sirte the main program the stronghold which rebels have given until saturday to surrender . remains under rebel control but. reports with almost every youngster in the country now carrying a gun it's far from safe. how much is a libyan rebel you got in politics and fighting against gadhafi soldiers in submission of a treaty with the shot coming from his gravestone. i didn't even

notice until my friend told me that my foot was bleeding he pulled the trigger by mistake he was himself. one of the biggest stories was discovered at the slim top security prison in southern tripoli where inmates were released after nato bombed the area. of the country in walsh with arms it looks like live in kids have already developed a summation for the weapons of war. when i go out and have a real life and will kill bad guys like khadafi when you're four if you save lives soon start gathering up weapons for mosques i hope police are back on the streets in the downtown minneapolis st paul river that's. all it will give you back to them as soon as they ask a stone which many here are afraid that this addiction may have a painful ritual the gun has become one of the symbols of the libyan rebels and

freedom for a new country though people want more peaceful symbols but fear little not be easy for many to lay down their arms when the guard has played such a prominent role throughout libya's relative all history revulsion r.t. tripoli libya. meantime patrick hay is a reporter for the online magazine spike believes that nato wants to stay because it has no clear vision of actually what lies ahead for the. fundamentally with the transitional government that's being put in place what you have here is a government that's been cherry picked by the west these are people that are selected 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 i wouldn't say this is in any way a revolution the west western government basically bombing a path. of a rag bag of rebels filling the vacuum left by gadhafi isn't in any way what i would revolutionize but i mean i think more fundamentally than that there's been no

sense from nato from western leaders what they were doing in the first place and they've not at any point had a coherent 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 was 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 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 the results but it's meantime stephen brown of front page magazine believes the fighting will go on even if colonel gadhafi is ultimately captured. i think even if they do find a daffy this is only the first stage of a multi-stage war in libya now the tribes are going to fight each other over the oil revenues or the islamicist. now so transitional council they already assassinated the head of the military i think they're just the beginning of the

problem this is really a tribal fight these tribes can be rented but not bought but i did think this could go back and forth and who knows how long it will go on this is really a war about controlling libyan oil supplies they went to war against gadhafi because they thought they were going to cut out of future exploration deals and favorite 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 want it there always billions and billions of dollars whatever transnational council starts giving a problem there will be more warfare to get rid of these people. and we spoke to a professional labor m.p. barry gardner who opposed the allied intervention in libya but the full interview is available of course our website. for now here's a quick preview. it was very clear in the original un resolution it was very clear when our prime minister spoke in parliament here that there would be no occupation force one of the things that troubled me all this

was this i mean given as to whether there should be troops on the ground as the rebels were going into tripoli we had to go left go left go left these instructions being yelled out with by obviously british soldiers british personnel who were leading that advance group now that i think is where we've overstepped the line. this is r.t. in 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 prisons during a five month ongoing uprising activists claim the victims were imprisoned tortured to death for taking part in antigovernment demos this comes after at least seven

were killed during a crackdown on the muslim holiday you'd. put out of a transformed analysis center and things serious religious tension will begin if the opposition does ultimately topple president assad. who are issuing signs or. if you are booing minorities you should know who is doing the sects in syria but who all. position forces. and up and will you have after we've been up to the good food will give you do you because we've of the will start in the long future of a lot of words. that is what he has yet so clearly include religious conflict as long as everybody's you know it is the duty. of service for them but we will be here when we may see some religious tension. and talk

a little show professor at the university in amman things that the revolution in syria is fuel from the outside and aimed at igniting a civil war. i think that the nato alliance using some regional tools like turkey and the gulf corporation 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 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 with course 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. regimes from saudi arabia tomorrow. all right so a nearly ten minutes past the hour here in the russian capital here with our still to come for you this hour financial blame game. the market needs a very many ball of tile he doesn't trust the. police to go through asked e.u. policy makers accuse the markets of threatening the eurozone recovery experts point the finger at the politicians for themselves and their indecision. plus a multi-billion dollar war chest wasted by the united states look at where the american taxpayers' money allocated for iraq and afghanistan has gone we also had the time to ask the experts if there's more news around the corner. two of the suicide bombers that carried out attacks in russia something republic of chechnya have just now identified one of the terrorists has been confirmed as the

brother of a suicide bomber who blew himself up in the republic last year her three blasts that hit the city on tuesday have left eight dead and twenty injured now he's within a caution about now has more on this 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 fought a suicide bomber blew himself up when police tried to stop him for an idea half an hour later as of the same plays of the first blast of this attack and the surge 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 tactic when one suicide bomber blew himself up and therefore attract more people than enough attacks to happen that's well known tactics for many terrorist across the world and we've seen that happening in iraq and afghanistan

the leader of the chechen republic i was on good bit of disquiet. behind this attacks as criminals and he said that they have once again shown their true face as they have nothing secret with these attacks happening on one of the most important muslim celebrations. he's been a caution about reporting right there when on our website r t v dot com we've got plenty on just how are the russian and muslims are marked the end of the month of ramadan now you can go online now and i watch our thousands of worshipers gathered in the capitals of mosques spilling onto the surrounding streets and roads so we've got that footage in full after the dot com. it's. now eleven minutes past the hour here in moscow to the global energy giants america's exxon mobile and russia's awesome enough to have struck

a multi billion dollar partnership agreement the cooperation will range all the way from the gulf of mexico to russia's vast arctic shelf a sweeping deal signed in the presence of prime minister putin of the black sea resort of sochi gives the russian company unprecedented access to u.s. and should in turn show america's biggest oil company will participate in developing vast untapped oil reserves in russia's arctic this does put an end to the hopes of another giant britain's b.p. to be part of the project the state secretary to the ministry of foreign affairs of norway which also has a big share in the arctic has told us what role his country will play in the exploration of the territory. the world needs more energy and it must be taken from somebody at least one of the. promising regions norway has its you know a physical share of the arctic it feels of how the compton star is extremely valuable in other. regions and we've seen that the russians are inviting not only or norway

in but also off the countries in that we can companies are playing in. rows in different projects all saw it in russia. now you can watch the full interview with norway's state secretary to the ministry of foreign affairs later this hour here on r t and of course more details of the deal between ross and here for next on in our business section now stay with us to learn what the deal means for the energy sector that's coming up in about ten or twelve minutes time. come september israel will be hoping for the best preparing for the worst the military is training and also reportedly arming the west bank settlements as they expect violence when the u.n. votes on recognizing the palestinian statehood next month and. reports it's the actions of the jewish state not the ballot that could lead to bloodshed. the united

nations might be meeting next month to declare a palestinian state but for more than half 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 and wanted nobody's go home but palestinians say they'll be the ones now going home and like it or not niger and other israeli settlers will soon find themselves citizens of palestine once the un recognizes palestine within these borders now there's no argument this is not your patient international law apply for months now the israeli army has been fine tuning its response to be given a vote. about a lot of equipment a normal two hundred. of them in a stronger america and so from also training a lot of. around twenty million dollars of the. the army is also training settlers

in self-defense the working assumption of israeli defense establishment is there comes a template they will be confrontations between israelis and palestinians they fear that it 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 cared to do. this whole idea of a board and it's not only the palestinians it's shortchanging this year the truth parading autumn on the on. with is not justified because at the end of the what a policy of arguing with a political threat and trying to achieve legitimacy for politics and i think this is a far better. try to achieve. them of through terror or war and the irony is that the army might just be focusing its resources. wrong

population you think that we are going to leave the country really the biggest danger though is that as these we defense forces prepare for conflict people on both sides of the border begin to expect one policy r t tel aviv. time now for you to get off your own r.t.o. we're always eager to know what you think about our top stories today we're asking you why is israel arming its citizens or let's have a look at the stuff right now here's the screen opinions are divided at the moment the majority believe it's a done to provoke an armed conflict and thus torpedo the un vote on palestinian statehood eighteen percent think israel is just protecting its innocence thirteen percent say the aim is to distract the israelis from the country's economic woes and the minority considers the israeli government to be over cautious make sure you're not going to r.t. dot com have your say. the e.u. is concerned that uncertainty in the global financial markets is threatening

europe's economic recovery youth leaders are now trying to implement crisis measures agreed upon last month including a second bailout for greece but with the deal not yet finalized the markets where we have what politicians are doing this according to italian business journalist francisco six. in europe the main point is that politics and markets don't really the size. leadership he'll draw saw coming in steps in with some political real strong measures so. i'm afraid. europe has not come to grips with the normal role 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 dangerous

today you're a real. do so with us here are two persons bulletin is about five minutes away but half an hour with financial issues no easy across the ocean of ela discussed discussed ways of the ongoing across talks coming a way of later today but for now or is a quick look at what has. the problem in our economy isn't a lack of liquidity in the world to watch a 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 the one 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 knowing 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. coming your way in about three hours time now twenty minutes past the hour here in moscow the u.s. senate committee on a wartime contracting is found that thirty billion dollars of taxpayers' money is missing always been stolen by contractors working in iraq and afghanistan over the past decade a report claims that money was squandered due to poor planning and lack of oversight and outright fraud by u.s. contractors and federal employees the findings that will be presented to congress as washington prepares to cut defense spending to tackle america's enormous that

the content of the report a complete surprise with poor cost control of reconstruction in afghanistan already lost. and as a former bush administration official michael o'brien says more money will be squandered for many many years to come. thirty more billion could be wasted because . things have been built that won't be able to me they won't 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 and operate 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 to operate these power plants. and if the government of afghanistan but if karzai says no no contractors will take care of it we'll end up paying afghan engineers an operators to maintain these things and i feel safe in saying that money will

disappear. i mean simon assistant editor of war dot com john blazer says this report is important but the hope that can actually change the situation at dying fast the recommendations within the report sort of have the air of usual washington type advice build another bureaucracy to watch over them 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 with their recommendations won't even take place or if they do they'll be wasteful still. all right in just a few minutes here in our see it's the business but for now our world update and the e.u. has launched a special coverage 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 a violent dispute so erupted when the region south or he's tried to take control of

two border crossing points on tuesday the un called the situation in kosovo tense and unpredictable. a car bomb has exploded in pakistan killing at least ten police said the blast occurred as hundreds were leaving a mosque in the southwest in the city of. people who just finished morning prayers to mark the end of a fasting month of ramadan a woman and child are reported to be among the dead at this point no one has yet claimed responsibility for the attack. and in the united states a number of dead from a tropical storm irene has risen to forty eight as a massive rescue and cleanup effort is underway along the east coast thirteen u.s. states have been affected by the storm which caused billions of dollars in damage the flooding caused by irene is believed to be a worst in. and a more dramatic footage of the aftermath of that tropical storm on our website our

project could be called over one hundred times bigger in the future no more the oil will also get to keep order in the development of all deposits in western siberia and on the black sea pointing to russia's vice premier eager to see the black sea project could grow in the future. is it getting to take part in the development of oil fields in the united states in at least six projects including in texas and in the gulf of mexico so this is agreed opportunity for terms of its global expansion and 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 and we also have to hold a sixty six percent stake in the joint venture. the rest here is largely symbolic from deutsche bank believes that the significance of the deal goes well beyond russia's. now and with this deal there's. greater sign of

openness of the sector a little regard for foreign investment and bad i think should be a trigger for greater capital inflows into russia russia's inflows of the 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 respect to russia. come several months after the collapse of frost net a deal with british all major b.p. following boardroom boardroom dispute in january the company's agreed to join he developed russia's oil rich arctic shelf however b.p.'s russian partners had a joint venture b.p. blocked the deal saying it violated their shareholder agreement after several court hearings were cited to quit the deal i had been struggling to find a new car. and now prosecutors have raided the office of b.p.
