renewed elitists and sons. from. the future however the. top stories on our t.v. people in libya say their lives are now what risk from a mass of blood when stalling it's an untrained hands as nato says it will stay in the region for security. police have identified two out of three suicide bombers who brought death and destruction through russia's north caucasus republic of chechnya killing nine and moved into more than twenty wounded. the czech president compares the euro zone membership to being in a straitjacket as a brawl sleepers grow ever more desperate to stall the debt epidemic ravaging.
12:01 pm
is just after eight pm here in the russian capital you're watching our take more top story nato says it has no immediate plans to end its operating in libya the spy the rebels now being in control of most of the country the alliance is continuing to bomb the town of sirup the main program off the stronghold earlier on wednesday the fugitive colonel once again vowed he would not surrender meanwhile in tripoli people may be celebrating the fall of the regime but with many now carrying guns it's still a long way from being safe. now how much is a libyan rebel he got a bullet in his ankle fighting against gadhafi soldiers in succession him a tripoli but with a shot coming from his own side. i didn't even notice until my friend told me that my foot was bleeding he pulled the trigger by mistake he was so scary himself. this is a reality off today's libya for when the rubble stray off and march from the country
12:02 pm
tons of gadhafi is captured weapons have fallen into the hands of nonprofessional fighters one of the biggest stores was discovered at the top security prison in southern tripoli where inmates were released after nato bombed the area of a do this the father of three young boys refuses to appear on camera still fearful of age from gadhafi loyalists he was among the first to seen and helped destroy the arsenal. which they don't want what was the role of the homes of my sons or the youngsters i'm concerned we are going to really go in with that girls this is a very dangerous thing it's not a toy but with the country it was with arms it looks like libyan kids have already developed a fascination for the weapons of war. like you ran out of her real life and also bad guys like nothing then you're thorough as you say they will soon start gathering up weapons from mosques i well police are back on the streets and young
12:03 pm
gunmen demonstrate their readiness to. will get rastignac as soon as they ask a system which many here are afraid that this eviction may have a painful withdraw 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 of albeit is it for many to lay down their arms when the guard has played such a prominent role throughout libya as well it's how history. richard. tripoli libya and battery case reporter for the online magazine spike to believe that people in libya must play a key role in forming the future of the country and not representatives of the west 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 implements the kind of blueprints that you know the west seems happy with this is going to cause real
12:04 pm
problems here in some ways actually rather than securing a western country i think is actually in the interests of the transitional government and probably noto as well for gadhafi to remain at large because then they have a specter that people can unite around so 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 won't since continue to be at large and they want him captured because that's the one thing they can unite around but the libyan people still do not have a voice yet and i think it's fundamental this is well as securing us view of course they're trying to do it moment they do win that debate they say this is our constitutional chance that this is what we stand for this is the way we think the country should be governed and really put that to libyan people for them to make up their own minds to meet your goals in russia voice in nato told r.t. but the fact of the alliance seems determined to take control of libya is a worrying tendency. i do you know. it's
12:05 pm
a classic situation when separate nato countries are waging an internal conflict of a country far away from nature's zone of responsibility for their lines as an organization claims not to be involved in concert military propaganda. when you can download all over the russian envoy had to say about nato on the situation in libya by heading to our team is really a big deal websites. free credit take three. three. three. three stooges free. the old free blog videos for your media project free media r t v dot com. a london based human rights group claims around five hundred people have been killed in syria during ramadan the majority of them civilians well another group of activists resort reports suggesting the dozens of people including children of
12:06 pm
torture to death behind bars for taking part in the regime authorizing result is it in a delusional reports all news coming from syria can't always be taken at face value . well the report really did not say much you have to you have to make a note of the fact that the report said eighty two people ten of them children are believed to have died in detention their porches also slammed to the syrian authorities for not providing enough information on the those entertainments there were no details however i'll fly and all of the circumstances in which these eighty eight people supposedly have died as a somewhat of a showcase of what else has been happening in the way things have been portrayed as happening in syria and you get constantly ports from various media sources by certain channels or major arabic nets for a show demonstrations of people sometimes a little science being held by someone knowing person who is filming everything that's going on on the immobile camera for what looks like to be immobile camera
12:07 pm
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 right and coming through apparently in hama more uprisings happen how fitting. in here in damascus things that really i believe could not be more peaceful when there were reports supposedly of helicopters flying overhead a network we actually went outside walked all around the city didn't see anything but 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 we are based right in the center of the syrian capital they have been no demonstrations no explosions no violence people are just continuing 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
12:08 pm
on we are we are another good instance of media news mongering or warmongering if you will is a case in the middle office there were reports of thousands of palestinians being herded into a studio and. talkee 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 their future camp and spoke to the palestinians themselves they said that yes there were disturbances in the city yes there were unknown people starting skirmishes for the army and they are quite in their muslim quarter are found where they kill the space so the palestinians actually ask for refuge they were provided not they were provided an option to go to a stadium so about two thousand out of seven thousand have went to that stadium they stayed there for three days they said the authorities have provided them with food and shelter and water and then they returned to their homes. of the
12:09 pm
independent news website report dot com release of the latest report on present casualties as one sided but says that this is to be expected in an era of media manipulation of course the amnesty international report itself is based on eyewitness reports not on the facts on the ground reporting and it's based on the ideas of people who are being implicated in this i mean it's the people who are part of the supposed opposition to this government so so it's a little bit like creating a report asking whether the banks were to blame for the two thousand and eight financial meltdown and only talking to people from goldman sachs i mean we know which way you report is going to go there is even the implication that some of the images were being shown have been digitally when it was manipulated and there have been reports about that on line that you can watch of of the footage that was taken in bahrain and then said to be taken in hama and and showing the same footage and on different stations with different backgrounds digitally drugged and so there are some very strange things that are going on right now and unfortunately we live in
12:10 pm
an age where media manipulation is so easy that it starts to become more and more difficult to tell the reality from fiction. you're watching our t.v. and still to come this hour premature preparations. and wanted nobody's go home israel trains and on to itself more is ahead of september's vote on the recognition of a palestinian state as they get ready for a possible authorising experts say i've just been calling for it. and of course the bailiff search b.p.'s moscow office in a bid to convert documents to prove if the oil giant wanted to sidestep its partners in its quest to reach russia's lucrative arctic shelf. how being in the eurozone is not so different from being in a straight jacket well that's according to the president of the czech republic vaclav klaus speaking at an economic summit in austria the president also blamed
12:11 pm
the euro for being responsible for the debt crisis that's currently ravaging the european union his comments echo growing to still be towards a single currency among nations once queuing to join the prestigious cotton well that as the czech prime minister also questioned his country's requirement to sign up with a currency block saying they were told it was a monetary union not a debt union but the e.u. leadership maintains the crisis is temporary and the euro is safe and secure something that over the belt of the editor in chief of trans magazine disagrees with. the president is probably more right than the european politicians because in effect we at the moment have a monetary union here in europe that has really very important structural handicaps and huge. handicaps we have and i was into a scene that has become a full blown crisis that is threatening. the further existence of this euro zone everything is done at the moment to indeed arrive at such
12:12 pm
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 lead us astray in terms of what is the real focus on what should lead to a 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 same thing 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 politicians 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 a little situation that is a lot more doubtful than the politicians like to admit the end of the euro if we go
12:13 pm
down that road it's still not sure but the chances are increasing day by day in my analysis it will be germany that as we as we say it will put out the light. now with the national issues no easier across the ocean or peter lavelle and his guests discuss ways out of the turmoil across talks coming your way at seven thirty pm g.m.t. and here's a quick look at what's in store. 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 nine hundred seventy style stagflation the problem is the banks themselves weren't terribly intelligent so they took the free money they made
12:14 pm
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 for all of us. now two out of the three suicide bombers who carried out attacks in the capital of russia's north caucasus republic of chechnya have been identified one is the half 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 wounded as three blasts rocked the city our correspondent in the region medina court has more on the story. the capital of the chechen republic grozny was headed
12:15 pm
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 one police try to stop him for an idea how they now were later at the same place of the first blast of this attack and the third attacks happened when investigators and emergency workers arrived at the scene this tactic one once or a side blew himself up and therefore attract more people than enough that attacks happened was well known tactic for many terrorists across the world and we've seen that happening in iraq and afghanistan the leader of the republic i'm sunk a bit of this quiet 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 celebrations. over the
12:16 pm
enemies of the people and indeed. this is one calling on people and law enforcement agencies of cheer to keep up the effort to find. room for. all despite the tragedy of muslims want to love the attack spoil their plans i mean festivities to mark the end of the month of ramadan are being held throughout the republic to get more on how it muslims in moscow celebrate of the day have all gone to our t.v. dot com there you'll find pictures of worshipers gathering and there are thousands of the capital's mosques and schooling out of the surrounding streets. well into september paul side will be expecting a you want a vote to recognize that. as
12:17 pm
a fully fledged state but israel fears the decision may result in uprisings and has reportedly started arming settlers and training them to face angry palestinians but us policy reports by preparing for bloodshed israelis might actually be calling for it the united nations might be meeting next month to declare a palestinian state before more than half a million is really safe is they couldn't care less there has been so many decisions they cleared in the u n. 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 niger 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 get nine votes. of
12:18 pm
a lot of equipment a normal two hundred. from the training a lot of members are going to be an invalid's of the separation the army is also training settlers in self-defense the working assumption of the israeli defense establishment is there comes a time that they will be confrontations between israelis and palestinians they fear that they will be martyrs 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 the rose is for idea of a boat and it's not only the palestinians it's shortchanging this. is through spreading also among their own population if it is not justified because at the end of it the what their policy of are doing is
12:19 pm
a political step in trying to achieve a legitimate the through politics and they think this is far better. than to try to achieve. it and i think through prayer or wars and the irony is that the army might just be focusing its resources on the wrong population you think are we going to leave the country the biggest danger though is that as these radio defense forces prepare for a conflict people on both sides of the border begin to expect one policy r.t. tel aviv. let's take a brief look at some other international headlines 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 police say the bomb was planted inside the temple and the attacker couldn't get in because of a roadblock no one has claimed responsibility for the explosion although taliban militants have targeted the region's shiite community before. all the u.s.

12:21 pm
acting on an arbitration court order searched the offices of b.p. in moscow today looking for incriminating documents and it's part of an ongoing lawsuit filed by partners seeking three billion dollars in damages following the collapse of a deal with the russian energy giant rosneft for more details on the latest events i'm joined by correspondent michael yet imo not hard it seems that there are some pretty unhappy people in the high flying energy world what's been happening today there. will be peace executives themselves this search through a failed deal between. us and british petroleum itself so the surge was hardly a surprise for the company no russian bailiff's were looking documents that b.p. failed to present to the court even though it was ordered to do so the documents that prove gods british petroleum tried to go over its russian partners in an oil rush to develop the world's largest untapped energy reserves over the arctic shelf which of course angered russian shareholders and as a result they filed
12:22 pm
a case against b.p. now the search was just one of the steps jury in this trial of russian authorities say that the search was held in a very calm manner and nothing will state and when force be are is trying to play the victim will not all this in all this and claims it was an illegal rates on the company both those trying to lay sions of course is very understandable it's at this moment especially in the light of the recent deal signed between russian oil giants and saxon more built on arctic exploration which everyone wants to get their hands on the gee what's good have been signed with b.p. if only b.p. didn't try to go over its russian past its russian partners so many are already calling this sale attempt to make business in russia ok thanks very much for that update natalia novick of r.t. correspondence or thank you well love loss was most certainly exxon mobil's game and we'll have more of that in our business bulletin coming up next are today.

12:24 pm
obviously are environmental concerns especially in the arctic shelf political concerns as well about doing business in russia and also technical considerations because trying to drill for oil in the arctic in the freezing cold weather and also in the black sea where the sea is up to a mile deep all quite technically difficult so a potential jewel a really big potential jewel for exxon which is the reason why they wanted to steal so much on my b.p. wanted this deal but it's not an easy jewel to extract shall we say but this new deal doesn't mean the end of problems for ross net's former arctic partner b.p. it's also office has been raided by bailiffs following a decision by the russian arbitration court. if. they live so meanly searching for written communications between b.p.'s representatives and the board of. the documents could be evidence these people knew about ross and have to deal in
12:25 pm
