its unity there. yes marina rush just recognize it as just recognized national transitional council as libya's functional authority and what we're hearing here from the inner circle of khadafi makes us believe that the reason this plea there we've been hearing from the two of gadhafi son and surprisingly quite contrary things i had of the rebels assault on kid up his hometown of syria east of the capital tripoli and never lead in the south safe well islam has claimed that they will never surrender and will fight till their dad just days before the rebels al to meet expires say fall islam has apparently talked to. the weighty private satellite television meanwhile the rebels command has claims that could offer his third son saadi is currently trying

to negotiate with them the terms of his own surrender he has said that saadi called him asking about where safety could be currency for him get this information. cannot be confirmed properly just to remind you saudis the one posed earlier been appointed by khadafi to mediate. the negotiations with the rebels to form transitional government something the rubbles themselves have rejected arguing that they are not negotiating with the criminals and the killers but can only provide them with a fair trial back to marina. del rey as we know tripoli is now controlled by the rebels so have they been able to restore order in the city. well the rivals are quite optimistic about how things are progressing here on the ground here at the rink their house how where we're staying and where most of the foreign journalists are staying we have press conferences almost every day given by

different rebels ministers and they're sure that the situation is totally and they control the last districts of the libyan capital tripoli have recently been played off the japanese forces but and the national transitional council is coming here soon from benghazi but of course the raw challenges still on the ground both from a security point of view and from humanitarian point of view the city is currently larded with. mostly young and inexperienced with little knowledge of how to use weapons we are hearing that many civilians have been jollies have recently been wounded in what we call celebratory shootings. people here in tripoli still stray that is they don't feel safe or secure their way to leave their homes after the sun certainly adds and humanitarian situation is also very complicated there is still no running water electricity card of shortage of food and natta saying and skeptics

are saying that. the rebels are not well organized to arrange these crises and actually not capable of controlling the situation here in tripoli meanwhile the rebels are claiming that the situation we'll. we'll get to normal very soon and they're now working hard to restore the order here in the libyan capital. mary thanks very much for bringing us the latest from tripoli there. has been a sort of the institute for policy and studies in washington says it's still not clear whether nato is ready to listen to the libyan people. we do know that the nato military actions have already gone beyond what was authorized by the u.n. resolution and now we don't know how they will decide a future role they have so far been very clear that they do not want u.n.

our nato forces only ground whether nato is prepared to listen to what the libyan leadership itself says we don't know yet they don't have a good history the national transitional council should not by any means representative of the libyan people some of the rebels in misrata or in them said directly they do not believe that the national transitional council speaks for them the question of who makes up the transitional council of this force includes top level officials from the gadhafi regime it includes numerous islam is official and it includes officials who have very close ties to the united states and other parts of the well. friends of libya current agro comprised of sixty countries in support of the rebels are gathering in paris to discuss the future of the country post gadhafi a russian envoy will also attend a meeting but as he explicitly told our t.v.

and only libyans themselves not western politicians should decide the country's future over the interview with me hilmer galva scumming your way or the sour but here's a bit of what he had to say. on the final decision on what libya is going to become one for the libyan people to make the world politicians have been playing meeting parts recently the national democratic vote will determine this and it should be well prepared and carried out this is where the international community and russia in particular is eager to render active support. those who think that the notion of russian friendship isn't just passing away with a totalitarian regime dictatorships it's a mystery to. the crackdown on anti-government protesters is reportedly continuing in syria but with most foreign media expelled from the country and the correspondents who remain

under tight control true picture of the situation is hard to establish are these radio show is one of the few foreign journalists reporting from the troubled country. mass murder tearing catastrophe a country on the brink of a revolution this is what you see every time syria pops up in the headlines but what is really happening in a country where hardly any foreign journalists are present there's even been the implication that some of the images we're being shown have been digitally manipulated and there have been reports of available online that you can watch of the footage that was taken in bahrain and said to be taken in hama and it's showing the same footage and on different stations with different backgrounds the italy dragoon so there are some very strange things that are going on right now an example of such manipulation is the case of palestinian refugees in the coastal city of latakia the stadium in the dark it became the center of the controversy when according to various reports anywhere from several hundred to several thousand people were gathered here most of those people were palestinian refugees who came

from the palestinian refugee camp in the sunni quarter of latakia now according to the opposition forces and to some of the palestinians when they got to the stadium their i.d.'s were taken away their cell phones were also taken away and they really prepared for the worst because you have to realize that herding large numbers of people into stadiums carries them would alba very macabre macabre association especially in this particular region so the uncle saying has developed sort of a practice of hurting people in stadiums and then and then meeting mass executions we went to the part of the city which supposedly came under fire from warplanes and navy ships in support for the refugees to find out what happened to the some people walking around the neighborhood yelling there will be shelling from city soon and everyone has to get out i didn't go anywhere just stayed in my house i can see the bay from my window and there was nothing there aside from the usual patrol boats

still gunfire did break out between the army and unknown gunmen so some five thousand palestinians left their homes fearing for their lives. we wanted to leave so that our kids wouldn't hear the gunshots we hid in our house and when there was a break in the fighting we went to the stadium we stayed there for three days then came back on the planet so did two thousand refugees only to realize there was no air and navy attack taking place on the city like other coalition and we felt like we were lying to a couple are just syrian authorities have long been insisting rogue armed groups are behind the unrest in syria and it's them who starts shooting first during demonstrations prompting bloodshed those statements are all but ignored by the media ever heard syria is fighting a media war and it's losing it or. the syrian government might have realized its mistake of banishing foreign journalists from the country a new media law has overturned that ban but there is no guarantee it will go

a long way towards achieving serious image as portrayed of a major networks even those courtsey syria. already continues to follow events in syria and again her latest reports in our twitter feed so in her await us massive she reports that she's hearing rumors several newborn babies have died in the city of hama which was reportedly raided by government forces and you can follow us on twitter that's r t underscore on. it's.

over to us now no patch up or catch up we should be leading the world with this upbeat rhetoric our obama. as coal for investment to boost the stagnant economy and create new jobs the federal reserve is expected to come up with a new set of measures in september to try and do just that but political commentator lou rockwell believes fed's measures fall short of helping average americans. it takes a hammer and hits them in the head is what we're still in a recession and that's not going to recovery and one of the reasons is because what the government is doing with the federal reserve is going to hold on interest rates so low to benefit the federal government to benefit the places lawyer goldman sachs and j.p. morgan and just like europe is being raked over the coals to the benefit of the big banks so for americans so the average grow the average yet it is being harmed to the benefit of the elite so what is quantitative easing it's it's money printing and they print this money and it has

a horrendous effect on the economy and we're already starting to see prices. not as clothing food many other areas prices are going up a notch already we stand to face really a hyperinflation worse than what happened in the one nine hundred seventy i don't think they're going to put us on this zimbabwe care of a category but you know we can't we really can't know like a mad printer and he's doing it again for wall street for the big banks for the government and to the detriment of the american people and really the people of the whole world this is a criminal act but their conduct. of being in the euro zone is like being in a straight jacket says the czech president vaclav klaus a member of the e.u. the czech republic kept its national currency the karuna the president blamed the euro for the debt crisis that's currently ravaging the his comments echo growing has still a towards the single currency within the union and the czech prime minister has questioned the obligation to join the euro zone faces on the e.u. membership rules saying they were told it was a monetary union not

a debt union the e.u. leadership maintains the crisis is temporary and the euro is safe and secure something that overdeveloped editor in chief of trans magazine disagrees with. the president is probably more right than the european politicians because. we at the moment have a monetary union here in europe that has. really very important structural handicaps and. handicaps we have and i was situation that has become a full blown crisis that is threatening. the further existence of the euro zone everything is done at the moment to indeed arrive at such a situation where it would be rather shameful to accept the exit of 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 real focus of the

discussion and that is that don't have commissions met to have a structurally healthy monetary union and unless we do something 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. and european banks are in big danger that's coming from the world's top banker watch artie's financial experts next geyser and state herbert's in the kaiser report next hour. guard urges recapitalization of europe's banks so this is christine legarde head of the i.m.f. one of the arguments that she poses for how european banks can recapitalize is to borrow from this new four hundred forty billion euro european stabilization fund so

more debt. the new euro stabilization fund starts off in debt it's bankrupt from day one so her idea is to borrow from this bankrupt institution which only means that the debt to equity ratio for the global banking system is to be expanded but look are talking about is to expand but that there's no other solution that you could possibly come up with because she's just an academic neil liberal wong whose only purpose in life is to theoretically come up with new ways to expand the debt burden her solutions are absolutely and the fema to something that would be beneficial to anyone except peddlers of whom she represents. a let's now take a look at some other stories from around the world the un chief responsible for

refugees has arrived in somalia to view firsthand the crisis gripping the country hundreds of thousands affected by famine and a long standing war have been displaced by the worst drought for more than sixty years many of the refugees have fled militant extremist of these lamas group al-shabaab after the blog vile humanitarian aid answering areas under their control . one of the mosque founder shaikh hassan yousef has reportedly been detained by the israeli army less than a month after his release from an. israeli prison its current whereabouts is a known sound used at along with two hundred other political prisoners were granted early release by israel's authorities as a gesture in our of their holiday ramadan she has sad news of a prominent west bank a mosque leader has been in jail since two thousand and five after being convicted by israel of terrorism. a fierce battle is underway in northern texas to fight nine raging wildfires sweeping the region scores of homes

have been destroyed with hundreds forced to evacuate from the area strong winds have fanned the flames and hinder it firefighters with helicopters join the battle against the infertile the fire is the state's second in four months making it one of the worst seasons for such destruction in texas in history. seventy years on russia commemorates the victims of the deadly hostage crisis that took place in a school in the town of business on over three hundred people died during the brutal siege most of them children and as you know question the reports the tragedy has left behind wounds unlikely to ever heal. it all happened within the walls of this school here more than a thousand people were kept without water all food and in constant fear for many

parents who had been waiting outside and praying they hold on the last of the seach was many of their children. the siege answered only on the third day russian forces answered the building to seize the hostages after sudden explosions rang out on to have a gun fire and risking their own lives they bundled both women and children to safety i only know was among the lucky ones saved by the soldiers she was severely injured and spent several months in hospital but she says it's not the hunger wounds or the fear of death that all her darkest memories. clearly remember the most terrifying moment within these three days it was when i thought that i lost my brother i thought he was killed and i flew one of the terrorists should remove the back of a young boy and i thought it was. the brothers our survived but for everyone in

beslan those three days in september forever split their lives into before and after i mean a doesn't want to talk about what happened that month the same as so many others who live in the city locals here only add that this tragedy should never be forgotten it's maybe four years since back packed his bags and left his native region of north or south for a new life in moscow but average chance he gets he welcomes an escape from the city to come back home his best friend who salaam always meets him at the airport and this day was no exception. should we go. first place though the place itself is far from usual because this is a cemetery to the victims of the seach although this young man didn't witness the tragedy themselves they say it is nations relief and never passed without stopping the location of this cemetery which is called the city of angels was not chosen by

accident it is who is on the road that leads to the region's airports so everyone who this is the republic will not miss it so as many people as possible will stop and remember those dark days and those innocent lives that were taken. i see in the question of reporting from north to south. later today the legacy of the deadly hostage crisis is covered here on art see in depth in our special reports. their childhood was. just cut. these two feel here they say. to them every second of the site. will remain in their memories and hard. to sing so. innocent.

little things. he watching r.t. live from moscow a team of cosmonauts and astronauts have begun training for the next mission to the international space station the preparations are underway despite the delay of the mission due last week's failure of the saudis rocket peter all over is that star city of moscow for us. so peter tell us what's in store for the crew. well the next team of three astronauts two cosmonauts one astronauts are currently taken their final examination on the module on the mark of the module that will carry them into space now and turn up a lot of. koli intervention and down the currently undergoing out the moment now the difference is they don't know exactly when they're going to be

heading over there they launched has been put back following the explosion over the rocket carrying the progress resupply module last week now this is meant. well i would say that they're being put in somewhat of limbo now i was talking to experience cosmonauts those of been there before them and done it they said that this shouldn't be any kind of a problem for the team they they do play a factor in these type of eventuality is this a date once you have a launch date it isn't confirmed until you're sat on the launch pad in the rock is about to blast off so although it will be a disappointment for them that they have seen their launch they put it isn't a disaster for them but i was talking to the guys themselves they seem to think this will be going up sometime in october means that the launch of the people part by around a month but they've become to put out their mind right now they're making sure they get those examinations right they're tested on everything to do with the motu all

right up until the last minute of course the launch being the culmination of months and months of training and years of training cosmonauts fuel before on sounds like there are be and ready for the last hour well peter as we know the progress cargo ship was supposed to take food and other supplies to the aisle sas so how has its crash affected the i assess and its crew. well as you could imagine the astronauts up there were expecting to receive a new ship new supply of food water some components for experiments also for repairs just a regular repairs they were going to conduct on the space station they are all lost now so there's an element of disappointment there however when i was speaking to the guys today when they send out these type of supply the supply loads they send far more than they really need to do so in the last one they were sent up there was

the space shuttle on its last mission the space shuttle of course had the largest payload of any space vehicle so they were thoroughly stock that they have plenty of food and water. to see them through until the the next supply supply mission to write the next supply module arrives there but you can tell from looking at the reaction of the astronauts on board if you follow them on twitter all the all the blogs that they have going they all seem to be getting around with their daily routine plenty of thoughts and photographs that i've seen of earth from the space station the main problem though the main thing that is being addressed is that it was a problem with the soyuz rockets that caused the the progress module to be lost now the soyuz rocket that carries the human crew takes people up to the space station is slightly different to that world that carries the old man's modules however it does have the same roots and that is why they've seen this this next mission being

to late they want to make sure that there is no problems with the rocket that there's no underlying floor that could happen again because although it is a disaster in a way when you lose an unmanned module it's nothing compared to what the type of effort has to go in to make sure that month spaceflight is safe right peter fingers crossed and everything goes to plan to stand thanks very much indeed for bringing us the sunday promise r.c. . time now for a business that date with kareena. i welcome to present this our thanks for joining me the russian government is selling thirteen percent and stayed back that appears to be exported into rao as part of a massive privatization drive analysts value the stake in over six hundred million dollars the head of the company said the sale could happen in four years currently the state owned sixty percent of the company plans to withdraw from the ownership

by two thousand and seventeen and seeking to attract what private investors are troubled power generating sector suffering from inefficient management more than fifty percent of facilities are exhausted with small and medium sized business suffering from this crisis. the latest arctic expedition deal between x. and mogul could get the green light in just a few years the company's plan to drill the first wells in northern waters in two thousand and fourteen and for what could he says the payback is likely to take a lot longer. for all sniffed itself i think the deal will mean longer term upside i think here we should be we should make it clear since the beginning that we shouldn't expect any significant increases in global so we understand the offshore exploration and development in arctic waters is a very very complicated business so i think in the best case we will see first war

looms coming on stream of thirty two thousand and fifteen but this is a long term option. so there's no clearly if you care so much much better positions during a joint through with that we've got some more but. let's look at the markets now for this thing a rally brant crude has done to the highest level and amount of positive chinese manufacturing data however concerns about global economy are still putting pressure on crude prices which last more than seven percent in august asian markets are high at best as a spy. by gains on wall street following all the jobs report better than expected manufacturing data technology stocks are rallying in toca hong kong tech sector is also boosted by reports that toshiba hitachi and sony i join you setting up the world's largest small flat screen producer shares of sony rose over two percent climbed one point to the touch it gained over one percent here in moscow equity markets slide into the red at the start of a training session denies x.

is losing point one percent the r.t.s. is down almost a quarter of a percent but i must believe the us employment data expects expected later this week will be a key driver moving markets but. that's a business out there for this hour but they'll forget you can always log on to our website r.t. dot com slash business for the. world. in the early video. from the.
