russia recognizes libya's transitional council as a functioning levy in authority ahead of the meeting of the friends of levy a group due to take place in paris. divisions within media resonate in khadafi family one of his sons vowing to disband the colonel stronghold of sea or expelled again while another reportedly offer stops to answer the bloodshed also. syria is fighting a media war and it's losing it with almost all foreign press banned from the country amid them going violence doubts grow over the authenticity of reports regarding syria. and russia remembers the victims of the beslan school seized that shook the country and the whole world seven years ago leaving over three hundred

people dead most of them children. eleven am in the russian capital you're watching ours here with me we're going to josh and breaking news this hour russia has recognized libya's national transitional council as a legitimate governing authority of libya speaking shortly after the announcement russian foreign minister sergei lavrov said russia has never want to gadhafi to stay but opposes nato as methods to remove him. russia has never approved the formal libyan regime back in may president clearly stated that gadhafi should go but the way the united nations resolutions were implemented by some nato members and a few other states meant the principle of the supremacy of law was being disregarded the african union and u.n.

initiatives were ignored leading to an increase in the number of civilian casualties although it is the protection of the civilian population that was set as a major objective of the security council resolutions and nato subscribed to implementing them. in a while in the area colonel gadhafi son saif al islam has vowed to fight to the death saying nobody will surrender the town of sirte the last loyalist stronghold that shortly after his brother are reportedly offered to mediate with the rebels to stop the bloodshed i didn't worry if an option has more from tripoli. what we're hearing here from the inner circle of gadhafi makes us believe that the resists fleet there we've been hearing from the two of gadhafi son and surprisingly quite contrary things ahead of the rebels' assault on cut off his hometown of sered east of the capital tripoli and benevolent in the south safe but islam has claimed that

they will never surrender and will fight till their dad just days before the rebels ultimate expires paperless one has apparently talked to. a weighty private satellite television meanwhile the rebels command has claims that could up 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 guaranteed for him yet this information. cannot be confirmed properly while the rebels are quite optimistic about how things are progressing here on the ground here at corinthia hotel where we are 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 us that the situation is totally and they control the last districts of the libyan capital tripoli have recently been

played of gadhafi forces but the national transitional council is coming here soon from benghazi but of course the right challenge is to on the ground from a security point of view and from humanitarian point of view the city is currently a lot it with people mostly young and inexperienced with little knowledge of how to use weapons we are hearing that many civilians of good enjoy the least have recently been wounded in what we call celebratory shootings. people here in tripoli still say that is they don't feel safe or sick. they are afraid to leave their homes after the sunset and spads and humanitarian situation is also very complicated meanwhile the rebels claim in bad situation we'll get to normal very soon and now working hard to restore the order here in the living capital. or even us in reporting there phyllis bennis of the institute for policy and

studies in washington says it's still not clear whether nato is ready to listen to libyan people. we do know that nato military actions have already gone beyond what was authorized by the u.n. resolution and now we don't know how they will define a future role they have so far and very clear that they do not want you will need to force this on the ground whether nato is here to listen to what will be a leadership it so says we don't know yet they don't have a good history abiding by the decisions made by the countries themselves friends of levy at a concert a group comprised of sixty countries in support of the rebels are gathering in paris to discuss the future of the country's post gadhafi a russian envoy and also a tandem meeting but as he supposedly toller team in the end only libyans

themselves not western politicians should decide the country's future the full interview with helmer gallus coming your way next hour but here's a bit of what he had to say. final decision on what libya is going to become a one for the libyan people to make not the world's politicians will be playing leading parts we simply 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 he's eager to render active support stability of those who think that the notion of russian arab friendship is a passing away with a totalitarian regimes of dictatorships brutally mistake a. crackdown on anti-government protesters is reportedly continuing in syria but most foreign media expelled from the country and the correspondents who remain under tight control a true picture of the situation is hard to establish our teams are really going to

go as 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 is even the implication that some of the images we're being shown have been digital image manipulation and there have been reports of available online that you can watch of 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 digitally 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 in 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 space carries them would all go very macabre macabre association especially in this particular region so downhill spain has developed sort of a practice of hurting people in stadiums and then committing mass executions we went to the part of the city which supposedly came under fire from warplanes a navy ships and spoke to the refugees to find out what happened. some people walking around the neighborhood yelling there will be shelling from sea 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 in there aside from the usual patrol boats still got a fire 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 hear 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. so did two thousand refugees only to realize there was no air and navy attack taking place on the city but other coalition we felt like we were lined to the heart of the of a couple are just syrian authorities have long been insisting rock armed groups are behind the unrest in syria and it's them who starts shooting first during the ministrations prompting bloodshed those statements are all but ignored by the media there are a hammer syria is fighting a media war and it's losing it over there and the syrian government might have realised its mistake of banishing foreign journalists from the country and the media law has overturned that ban but there is no guarantee it will go

a long way towards achieving serious image as portrayed on major networks even those court t.v. syria. continues to follow events in syria and you can get her latest reports on our twitter feed so in her latest macit sure reports that she's hearing rumors several new born babies have died in the city of hama which was reportedly raided by government forces so you can follow us on twitter at r.t. underscore com. it's going to be.

over to the u.s. now no patch up or catch up we should be leading the world was this a bit rhetoric brought. obama has called 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 early rockwell believes fed's measures fall short of helping average americans. it takes a hammer and hits them in the head as one of we're still in a recession and there's not been a recovery and one of the reasons is because what the government is doing with the federal reserve is doing to hold on interest rates so low to benefit the federal government to benefit places like 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 euro the average yeah that is being harmed to the benefit of the power elite so what is quantitative easing if it's money printed and they print this money and it has a horrendous effect on me and we're already starting to see prices increase notice

clothing food many other areas prices are going up enough 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 in this zimbabwe care of a category but you know we can't we really can't know for a nation is like the 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. being in the eurozone 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 president blame the euro for the debt crisis that's currently ravaging the e.u. it's comments growing his deliberate words the single currency within the czech prime minister has questioned the obligation to join the euro zone country faces under e.u. membership rules saying they were told there was

a lot of your union not dancing in the e.u. leadership maintains the crisis is temporary and the euro is safe and secure something that joan over dealt 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. handicaps we have and i would situation 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 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 as a strain terms of what is the real full. focus of the discussion and that is very

clear don't have the conditions 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 the 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 financial experts max kaiser and steve herbert in a kaiser report in about fifteen minutes time here on actually. 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 europeans stabilization fund

so more debt but 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 would look are talking about is to expand the debt to equity bird there's no other solution that you could possibly come up with because she's just an academic neil liberal wonk 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 debt peddlers of whom she represents. and what unites us 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 extremists of this modest group al-shabaab after the blocked vital humanitarian aid and three areas under control. and. one of the hamas founder shaikh has sanju self has reportedly been detained by the israeli army less than a month after his release from an israeli prison his current worry about his unknown son use of along with two hundred other political prisoners were granted early release by is. as authorities as a gesture and aroma down shake us out of you so fate prominent west bank leader has been in jail since two thousand and five after being convicted by israel of terrorism. i fear sal 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 to fan the flames and hinder it fire fire with helicopters joining the battle against the infernal the fire is the state's second for months making it one of the worst seasons for such destruction in texas history. seven years on russia commemorates the victims of a deadly hostage crisis that took place in a school in the town of beslan over three hundred people died during the brutal siege most of them children and as are there are reports the tragedy has left behind ones 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 fare for many parents who had been waiting outside and praying they hope died on the last day of the seach with many of their children. this siege answered only on the third day russian forces answered the building to save the hostages after a sudden explosions rang out on to have a gun fire and risking their own lives they bundled both women and children to safety i you know was among the lucky ones saved by the soldiers she was severely injured and spent several months in hospital but she's last it's not the hunger wounds or the fear of death that all her darkest memories. can you remember the most terrifying moment within these three days it was when i thought both my lost my brother i thought he was killed i saw one of the terrorists you know the back of a young boy and i thought it was him or her brothers out survived but for everyone

in bassline those three days in september forever split their lives into before and after i you know doesn't want to talk about what happened that month the same a 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 kept his bags and left his native region of north or south for a new life in moscow but every chance he gets he welcomes an escape from the city to come back home is that friend who salaam always meets him at the airport and this day was no exception. should we go yeah but let's first place though the place itself is far from usual because this is a cemetery to the victims of the siege although this young man didn't witness the tragedy themselves they say it is a nation's grief and never passed without stopping the location of this cemetery

a very very complicated business so i think in the best case we will see the first war looms coming on stream of third two thousand and fifteen but this is a long term option the sea is no good clearly if you care so much much better positions doing it jointly with the reduction mobile. let's have a look at the markets now all those rallying breitkreuz jumped to the highest level of some positive chinese manufacturing data however concerns about global economy are still putting pressure on crude price cost more than seven percent in august now it's closer to asia where markets are high and investors are inspired by gains on wall street following thousand of jobs report better than expected by the fact that technology stocks are rallying tokyo hong kong tech sector is also boosted by reports that toshiba toci and sony i thought he setting up the world's largest small flat screen producer shares of song and rose two point two percent toshiba climbed over one percent at the touch of gains eight percent. stock saying europe
