and in business be peace game x. and goebbels made is that the bees get bayne is that smuggles gave just months after the collapse of b.p.'s tie up with will stamp the b.b.c.'s tribalist will soon but this new deal doesn't mean the end of profitable british world giants more entrenched in minutes. it's five pm in moscow this is our team coming to you live on news and now with our top story nato says it has no immediate plans to end its operation in libya despite the rebels now being control of most of the country the alliance is continuing to bomb the town of syria the main program stronghold earlier on wednesday the fugitive colonel once again vowed he would not surrender meanwhile in tripoli people maisie's celebrating the fall of the regime but with many now carrying guns

is still a long way from safe. how much is a libyan rebel you got in politics and fighting against gadhafi soldiers in should be shima truthfully with the shots coming from his new silent on that. i didn't even notice until my friend told me that my government was bleeding he pulled the trigger by mistake he was still scared himself. one of the biggest stores was discovered at the slim top security prison in southern tripoli where inmates were released after a major bomb the area. of the country it was with it looks like living kids have already developed a fascination for the weapons of war. like you ran out of her real life and local bad guys like it's nothing in your thoughts you save of gathering up weapons for mosques i well police are back on the streets but the young gunman on
9:03 am
the street there really wants to be all of them and will give it back to the students they ask the system but many here are afraid that these addictions 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 but fear that 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 river. tripoli libya. and patrick hayes reporter for the online magazine spiked believes nato wants to remain in libya to figure out what lies ahead for the country and to play a role in its future. 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 it's our intellect it's also nice try and win a debate with the libyan people about why they're in any way more legitimate rulers
9:04 am
and get out the i wouldn't say this is in any way a revolution. the west western government basically bombing of half. a rag bag of rebels and filling the vacuum left by gadhafi isn't in any way what i would revolution 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 cure 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 joke was on 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 he's after he's gone they're still hanging around because they're still on shore 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. to me. as envoy to nato told r.t. the fact of the alliance seems determined to take control of libya is
9:05 am
a worrying tendency i view. it's a classic situation when separate nato countries are. in an internal conflict of a country away from nature's zone of responsibility the deadlines as an organization claims not to be involved classic military propaganda. where you can download all of what the russian envoy to nato had to say to our team and the situation in libya by heading from. mission. critical three months for three. months three. three. three. three volunteering at a mediocre four year media project free media oh god our t.v. dot com. a london based human rights group claims dozens of people
9:06 am
including children have died behind bars in syria in the last five months the victims were allegedly tortured to death for taking part in the anti regime uprising. of course all news coming from syria can't always be taken at face value . well the report really does not say much and 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 died in detention the report is also slammed to the syrian authorities for not providing enough information those into demons there were no details however i'll twined of the circumstances in which these eighty eight people supposedly have died this is somewhat of a showcase of what else has been happening and the way things have been portrayed as happening in syria you get constantly ports from various media sources was certain channels or major arab nets for it we show demonstrations of people sometimes a little signs being held by someone knowing person who is filming that we think is
9:07 am
going on i'm over camera phone like looks like to be immobile camera phone most of the sources which anybody sites are anonymous there are reports coming from various other cities in the center of syria for example or homes where reports of tanks entering cities are being broadcast or and coming through apparently in hama more uprisings have been happening as openly in here in damascus things there 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 didn't see anything about birds up in the sky so this is the situation that isn't damascus right now there have been no demonstrations at least in the center and 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 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
9:08 am
on where we are another good instance of media news mongering or war going if you will is a case in the middle of smog there were reports of thousands of posting is being herded into this. details like talking their i.d.'s were allegedly taken away and their cell phones were taken away as well they were held there for several days and then and then apparently were released well when we actually went to the g. camp and spoke to the palestinians themselves they said that yes there were disturbances in the streets and yes there were unknown people starting the skirmishes with the army and they are caught in their muslim quarter of town where the camp is based so the palestinians actually asked for refuge they were provided they were provided an option to go to steve you know so two thousand out of seven thousand have went to that stadium they stayed there for three days they said that the authorities have provided them with food and shelter and water and then they returned to their homes. still to come this hour financial

blame game. the market through many of all of these trost. will need to go through also. policymakers accuse the markets of threatening euro zone recovery experts point the finger at politicians themselves and their decisions. and analyzing wasteful u.s. spending in iraq and afghanistan a senate committee prepares to release a report on where taxpayer billions go experts doubt the budget holes will be clogged any time soon. two out of the three suicide bombers who carried out attacks in the capital of russia's north caucasus republic of to have been identified once the brother of another suicide bomber who blew himself up in front of a concert hall in grozny last year nine people have been confirmed dead and twenty
9:10 am
wounded three blasts rocked the city our correspondent in the region. has more. the capital of the chechen republic grozny was ahead by three blasts the first happened late in the evening on the road leading to the cedars fort a suicide bomber blew himself up going police tried to stop him for an id hop an hour later as the same place of the first blast of the stock and the third attacks happened when investigators and emergency workers arrived at the scene this toxic one one suicide bomber blew himself up and therefore attract more people than enough that attacks happened 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 and i was on call that i've described those behind this attack as criminals and he said that they have once again shown their true face as they have nothing sacred with these attacks happening on one of the most important muslim
9:11 am
celebrations but this right the tribes are the traditional as muslims won't load the attacks spoil their plans the main for syria to mark the end of the holy month of ramadan are being held throughout the republic and to hear more of how muslims in moscow celebrated today large ontologies are calm though you'll find pictures of worshipers gathering in their thousands in the capital mosques and spilling out into the surrounding streets. 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 vaclav klaus speaking at an economic summit in austria the president also claim to your oath will be responsible for the crisis that's currently ravaging the european
9:12 am
union his comments echo growing hostility towards the single currency among nations once queuing to join the prestigious club that's as the czech prime minister also questioned his country's requirement to sign up with the currency block saying they were told it was a monetary union not a debt. but the e.u. leadership maintains the crisis is temporary and the euro is safe and secure something that you know how over thread editor in chief of trans magazine disagrees with. the president is probably more right than the european problem because in effect we at the moment have a monetary union here in europe that has really very important structural handicaps and huge growth and we go through the gaps we have and i was situation that has been drawn more food prices that is threatening. the further existence of the euro zone everything is done at the moment to indeed arrive at such
9:13 am
a situation where it would be rather shameful to accept the exit off the country the first possibility of course being greece but that should not stray into the mns of what these the real focus on 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 seem to think about that we will have one crisis country after another there is so much political capital invested in this project that it's very hard if not to say impossible for the publications who are at the moment running this european council to give give up on the idea of a monitor. you know so it's a question of politics if you look at it from the economic point of view we have seen the situation. is a lot more doubtful than the politicians like to admit the end of the euro if we go
9:14 am
down that road it's still not sure but the chances are increasing day by day in my analysis it will be germany that. will put out the right. thing you is concerned that market uncertainty is threatening europe's economic recovery as crisis measures are implemented including greece's second bailout deal like you have finalized markets are wary of what politicians are doing says italian business journalist francesco sisi. in europe the main point is the politics and markets don't really decisive. leadership he'll brasil coming. in with some political real strong measures so. i mean europe will be still and europe have not come to grips with nor. for both the greek crisis but i would
9:15 am
say also called the european crises in fact italy and spain are also dangerous and these are much bigger economy and therefore much bigger risk and dangerous to you royal we. financial issues new easier across the ocean peter the valen his gas discuss ways out of the turmoil across talks 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 liquid me 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 nineteen seventies style stagflation of the
9:16 am
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 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. if you will. in september a palestine will be expecting a u.n. vote to recognize it as a fully fledged state but israel fears that decision may result in uprisings and it's reportedly started arming set of those some training them to face angry palestinians but as part of the reports by preparing for a pledge that israelis might actually be calling for it. the united nations might
9:17 am
be meeting next month to declare a palestinian state 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 nigeria and israeli settlers will seem 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 about a lot of equipment a normal two hundred. strong gomez and such from the training a lot of members of one hundred million dollars in the separate the army is also
9:18 am
training settlers in self-defense the working assumption of his ready defense establishment is that comes to ten but they will be confrontations between israelis and palestinians they fear that they will be marchers protests and in some cases even pine and such 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 be to devise this four idea of abode and it's not only the palestinians it's shortchanging this here the israelis spreading also among the operation with is not justified because at the end of the day or the palestinians are doing the political step in trying to achieve religion thing with the through politics and i think this is far better. than trying to achieve. it in a pair or war and the irony is that the army might just be focusing its research.
9:19 am
on the wrong population you think are we going to live in another country the biggest danger though is that as these weighty defense forces prepare for a conflict people on both sides of the border begin to expect one policy r.t. tel aviv. the huge deal signed between two of the world's energy giants america's exxon mobil and russia's ross nafs has sparked debate among economists around the world some are cautiously welcoming the news of the fact that for the first time in american history of russian state owned company is going to enter the u.s. market other economists are expressing optimism over the scale and prospects of the joint expiration of the vast untapped oil reserves in brushless arctic however prime minister putin has to make that potential investments by both companies could top five hundred billion dollars the very future of the arctic shelf was something we discussed with the state secretary to the ministry of foreign affairs of norway

9:21 am
a lack of oversight and fraud becomes as washington prepares to cut defense spending poor cost control during the reconstruction in afghanistan it was highlighted last october and as former bush administration official michael o'brien says money will continue to be squandered for many years to come. thirty more billion could be wasted because things have been built that 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 and operate it and the afghanis simply don't have the ability to do that but 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 if the karzai says no no contractors will take care of it we'll end up paying afghanis engineers
9:22 am
and operators to maintain these things and i feel safe in saying that money will disappear. the brief look now at some other international headlines 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 shiite muslims as they were leaving a mosque after morning prayers and they say the bomber was trying to go out inside the town but attackers couldn't get in because of a roadblock no one has claimed responsibility for the explosion though taliban militants have targeted the region's shiite community before. well the u.s. east coast is recovering from the devastation left behind by hurricane irene wildfires tear through the country's south dozens of homes have already been destroyed and over one hundred more are under threat from the bats and flames police are investigating the cause of the blaze while strong winds hinder firefighters efforts to control it this comes just four months after another
