a debate with the libyan people about why they're in any way more legitimate rulers think exactly so i wouldn't say this is in any way a revolution the west western governments basically bombing a half. a rag bag of rebels and filling the vacuum left by gadhafi isn't seen anyway 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 what they were doing in the first place and they've 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 xander with 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 you know they're still unsure it's still unclear they want to get some brownie points from this you know and have made some short term political gains the results of it. and to meet their own goals in brussels and

8:07 am
seen that happening in iraq and afghanistan the leader of the chechen republic i was on could it have described those 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 well despite the tragedy of muslims won't let the attacks spoil their plans the main festivities to mark the end of the holy month of ramadan are being held throughout the republic and you have more on how muslims in moscow celebrate the day log on to our dot com well you'll find pictures of course the first gathering in their thousands in the capital mosque and spilling out into the surrounding streets.

a london based human rights group claims dozens of people including children have died behind bars in syria during the last five months the victims were reportedly tortured to death for taking part in the regime caught risings archies a really good loose in the country capital damascus and now joins us live what else do these human rights report reveal. well the report really did not say much so you have to you have to make a note of the fact that the report said easy to people all ten of them children are believed to have been to have died in detention their porches also slammed to the syrian authorities for not providing enough information on the bills into demons there were no details however alkali and of the circumstances in which these eighty eight people supposedly have died and you are this is kind of this is somewhat indicus if this is somewhat of a showcase of what else has been happening in the way things have been portrayed as
8:09 am
happening in syria. you get constantly ports from various media sources western channels or major arab networks which show demonstrations of people sometimes a little signs being held by some unknown person who is filming. filming everything that's going on on the immobile camera phone that looks like to be immobile camera phone and so you really get no information out of the country or any from the news sources most of the most of that most of the sources of. anybody's side are anonymous so this is this really is not that much reliable information coming from the country because you have to remember keep in mind the incidents when there was a syrian lesbian girl turned out to be a forty year old american graduate student posing as one so i didn't have a situation where nobody really knows what's going in the country everybody goes by some random pictures that rich which really could have been filmed anywhere in any
8:10 am
arabic or muslim country for that matter and they just basically slap. title which says syria on it. and it's essentially force their viewers or their audience to believe this is what's happening so you have to keep that in mind when you read the report where no concrete details are given. this a better idea of what exactly is happening on the ground in syria in damascus where you are now. well there are reports coming from various other cities in the center of syria of syria for example. or homes where reports tanks entering cities are being broadcast coming through apparently in hama. more uprisings have been happening as of late but even here in damascus things are really i believe could not be more peaceful when there were reports supposedly of helicopters flying overhead and one major network we actually went outside walked all around the city
8:11 am
didn't see anything but the birds up in the sky so this is the situation that is in damascus right now there are no demonstrations at least in the center we are based right in the center of the syrian capital they have been no demonstrations no explosions no violence people are just continuing there in fact to you know this is the end of the holy month of ramadan so people have been celebrating as a matter of fact going out to dinners and shopping and this is what has been going on we are we are. live from damascus thanks for that. being in the euro zone is not so different from being in a straight jacket that's according to the president of the czech republic klaus speaking economic summit in austria the president also blamed the euro for being responsible for the debt crisis that's currently ravaging the european union his comments acco growing hostility toward the euro among nations once queuing to joint the prestigious club as the czech prime minister also questioned his country's
8:12 am
requirement to sign up with the currency bloc saying they were told it was a monetary union not a union well for more on this we're now and i live. who is editor in chief of trends magazine and he's on the line with us live from brussels mr van or it's very it's the remarks from the czech republic are at odds of course with the rhetoric that's coming out of brussels brussels where the message is this is all just temporary the euro is alive and well and markets should remain calm who is right here just how healthy or unhealthy is the euro. i think at the moment. the president is probably more right than the european politicians the. moment they have a monetary union here in europe that has really very important structural handicaps and would go through. we have and i would situation that has become a full blown crisis that is threatening. the existence of the euro zone why are we
8:13 am
being told the opposite i mean why not tell the truth let the markets take a hit recover instead of just continually bleeding and trying to encourage non eurozone countries to keep him coming in and joining the bloc well i think so much there is so much political capital invested in this project that it's very hard if not impossible for the problem patients who are at the moment running the european council to give give up on the idea of a monetary union so it's a question of politics if you look at it from the economic point of view we have the situation. is a lot more than the publications like to admit. germany's ruling party has announced it wants a eurozone exit mechanic for countries unstable to meet criteria for membership is
8:14 am
a big step considering the no economy left behind policy. that which existed when this crisis started. well obviously germany is in the center of all the discussions with respect to the european monetary union because a country because germany is the largest country the largest economy and certainly the economy with the deepest pockets my reading from what is happening in germany is that the chancellor merkel is facing a lot of opposition within our own coalition government to accept the results of the european summit on july twenty one and that is very important because if those conclusions of that european summit are not translated into national will we won't have a second bailout program for greece which means that greece is de facto not. able to pay the bills anymore and secondly we don't have the bailout funds as it is put on the table now which is quite important for the european central bank to be able
8:15 am
to continue its present policy of supporting the countries like spain and italy on the bond markets so is this enough facts and economic suicide pill per se first states such as greece any to spare the euro zone the shame of kicking someone out. well everything is done at the moment to indeed arrive at such a situation where it would be like you say rather shameful to accept the exit of the country the first possibility of course being greece but that should not lead there's a strain in terms of what is the real focus or what should be do real focus of the discussion and that is that we don't have the commissions met to have a structurally healthy monetary union and unless we do something about that we will have one crisis country after another the european central bank has been credited with lowering the intensity of the crisis over this summer how long do you think it
8:16 am
can act as a life jacket for struggling states. well in terms of our technical capabilities the european central bank can go on as long as it runs supporting the bonds being emitted by kind of like spain italy greece and all the other troubled countries but of course these kinds of interventions all kinds of side effects in terms of the conduct of monetary policy in general and of the economic conditions for the real economy so there is no doubt in my mind that will not come down this road as the as they have been going in the past weeks so if they don't get the bailout up and running and taking over a part of the responsibilities in the interventions that the e.c. is doing now we will end up with a situation where there will be for example opposition within the european central bank by the people of the boom. and here in chief of trans business magazine.
8:17 am
thank you very much for your analysis this hour. the e.u. is concerned that market uncertainty is threatening europe's economic recovery as crisis measures agreed last month are implemented including greece's second route but with the deal not yet finalized markets are wary of what politicians are doing business journalist francesco. in europe the main point is the politics and markets don't see a really decisive political leadership until russell cannon our plan steps in with some political real strong measures to call the euro i'm afraid europe will be still ball a tile in europe has not come to grips with an older old solution for both the
8:18 am
greek crisis but i would say also for the european crisis in fact eternally and spain are also in dangers and these are much bigger economy and poses for notch bigger risk and dangerous to your royer. well financial issues no easier across the ocean peter the valen his gas discuss ways out of the turmoil crosstalk is coming your way at three thirty pm g.m.t. here's a quick look at what's in store. the problem in our economy isn't the 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 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 knowing that it 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. in september of palestine will be expecting a u.n. vote to recognize it as a full fledged state israel fears that decision may result in op risings and has reportedly started arming settlers and training them to face angry palestinians calls the reports by preparing for bloodshed israelis might actually be calling for it. the united nations might be meeting next month to declare
8:20 am
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 only wanted nobody's gone the colors to me and say they'll be the ones now going home and like it or not nigeria 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 occupation international law apply for months now the israeli army has been fine tuning its response to the un vote. on the other lot of equipment in order to handle them and. stronger meds and such from also training a lot of reserves around twenty million dollars in the separation the army is also
8:21 am
training citizens in self-defense the working assumption of the israeli defense establishment is there comes a time that there 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 you care to be to the rose this whole idea of abode and it's not only the palestinians it's shortchanging is here to throw the spreading of them on their own population is is not justified because at the end of the day what the policy of are doing is a political step in trying to achieve legitimacy through politics and i think this is far better. to try to achieve the dictum of terror or war and irony is that the army might just be focusing its resources. do you think
8:22 am
that we are going to leave the country really the biggest danger though is that as these we defense forces prepare for a conflict people on both sides of the border begin to expect one policy r.t.e. television. american taxpayers are about to hear where a man some chunk of their money has gone as the senate committee of worktime spending prepares to publish its latest report it claims at least thirty billion dollars was wasted in iraq and afghanistan over the past decade the report already presented to congress says the money was lost through poor management a lack of oversight and fraud it comes with washington prepares to cut defense spending worth cost control during the reconstruction in afghanistan was highlighted last october as and as former bush administration official michael green says o'brien says the money will continue to be squandered for many years to come. thirty more billion could be wasted because things have been built that
8:23 am
won't be able to mean 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 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 but if karzai says no no contractors will take care of it we'll end up paying the afghanis engineers an operators so maintain these things and i feel safe in saying that money will disappear after a brief look now at some other world news this hour ten people have been killed and at least seventeen wounded in a car bomb attack in southwestern pakistan the blast targeted hundreds of cia most of them as they were leaving a mosque and from after morning prayers police said the bomb was trying to go off
