there was a central government now there is a vacuum vacuum by itself this is how you could use all the effects were britain france italy the united states of america themselves and this is the western camp and this is this when they are fighting with each other each one of them is trying to get peace over the cage at the end of the day there is certainly potential civil war of the civil war there are quite a lot of factors which the those who are against libya including some of the western countries for their own reasons and indeed even the regime will divine the the nation into war not on a variety of levels there is the traditional divide and rule process i think the countries will practice this way as well as those who are against libya even among the libyans themselves. causing russia for its nato told r.t. back at the alon seems determined to take control of libya is a worrying time to. argue. it's
2:05 pm
a classic situation when separate nato countries are waging war in an internal conflict of a country away from the zone of responsibility of the airlines as an organisation claims not to be involved classic military propaganda. you can download all of what the russian envoy to nato had to say on the situation in libya to our thousands of sites. if you. couldn't take the free. for drug free. agent three. three. two three. three broadcasts. video for your media project free media party 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 while another group of activists

2:07 pm
going on on the amount camera fall that looks like to be immobile camera phone most of the sources which anybody sides are anonymous there are reports coming from various other cities in the center of syria of syria for example or homes where reports of tanks entering cities are being broadcast there and coming through apparently in hama more uprisings have been happening as of late but in 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 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 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

2:09 pm
score babson's on a soccer base editor of the independent news website report dot com believes that the latest report of present casualties is one sided but says that this is to be expected of media manipulation of course the amnesty international report itself is based on eyewitness reports not on the ground reporting and it's based on the ideas of people who are being implicated in this i mean the people who are part of the supposed opposition to this government so so it's a little bit like creating a reporter 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 that report is going to go there's even been the implication that some of the images were being shown have been digitally new principle manipulated and there have been reports about a little online that you can watch of of the footage that was taken in bahrain and said to be taken in hama and it's showing the same footage and different stations with different backgrounds digitally drudge and so there are some very strange
2:10 pm
things that are going on right now and unfortunately we live in an age where media manipulation is so easy but it starts to become more and more difficult to tell the reality from fiction. well you're watching r t and still to come this hour we're not sure preparations. and wanted nobody's go home israel trains at oncet selfless ahead of september's vote on the recognition of a palestinian state as they get ready for a possible authorising experts say they might just be calling for it. out of court bailiff search b.p.'s moscow office in a bid to uncover documents to prove that the oil giant plan to sidestep its partners its quest to reach russia's lucrative arctic. being in the euro zone is not so different from being in a strait jacket that's according to the president of the czech republic and that's klaus speaking at an economic summit in austria the president also blamed the euro

2:12 pm
everything is done at the moment in the arrive at such a situation where it would be rather shameful to accept the exit off of the country the first possibility of course the. being greece but that should not let the strain terms of what is the real focus on what should lead to a real focus of the discussion and that is that i don't have the conditions 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 this 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
2:13 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 right. with national issues no easier across the ocean peter lavelle and his guests discuss ways out of the trouble crosswalks coming your way next hour but 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 and european well first dates 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 the problem is the banks themselves weren't terribly intelligent so they took the free money
2:14 pm
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. if you look. at two out of the three suicide bombers who carried out attacks in the capital of russia's north caucasus republic of chechnya how been identified what is the brother of another suicide bomber blew himself up in front of a concert hall in grozny last year people have been confirmed dead and twenty wounded after three successive blasts went off in the same place in the city the first suicide bomber blew himself up police attempted to stop them for an id check

2:16 pm
home and like it or not niger and israeli settlers who seem to 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 be given vote what a lot of equipment a normal to have in them and. move them stronger meds etc also training a lot of reserve soldiers around twenty million dollars and the separation the army is also training settlers in self defense the working assumption of his ready 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 can to. this poor
2:17 pm
idea of book load and it's not only the palestinians it's shortchanging this here we go through spreading all of them on their own population with is not justified because at the end of the what the palestinians are doing is a political threat and trying to achieve a legitimate the through politics and i think this is far better. to try to achieve it in math and through terror or war and the irony is that the army might just be focusing its resources. the wrong population you think the real hard and 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. a russian a bailiff sacked in an arbitration court order searched the offices of b.p. and moscow today looking for incriminating documents i was part of an ongoing

the victim here all in it's an illegal raise but the speculations around the case are very understandable it specially in the light of the recent deal signed. between. acts more bill and russia will join us in efforts on all exploration in the arctic shelf the deal it could have been signed between and b.p. if the british petroleum did not try to bypass a partnership with russia i mean you've already said that this is this is a grave stone to christmas surely aims and visions in russia. last was most certainly exxon mobil's gain and we'll have more about in our business bulletin in a couple of minutes but for now let's have a brief look at some other international headlines some people have been killed at least seventeen were wounded in a queer bomb attack in southwestern pakistan over the last targeted hundreds of. muslims as they were leaving a mosque after morning prayers police say the bomb was primed to go off inside the temple but the attacker couldn't get in because of

plow as much as i five hundred billion dollars into the project ross nash will hold two thoughts of the tour in french and at some mobil one search. i think there's a lot of potential to this deal but there are a lot of obstacles before it comes to realize ation i mean some of the obstacles 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 over the sea is up to a mile deep all quite technically difficult so a potential jewel a really big potentially jewel for exxon which is the reason why they wanted to steal so much from not b.p. wanted this deal but it's not an easy jewel to extract shall we say. but the studio doesn't mean the end of problems for us s.
