on the arm of the russian capital you're watching r t i'm marina joshie welcome to the program russia has recognized levy is national transitional council as the legitimate governing authority of libya speaking shortly after the announcement russian foreign minister sergei lavrov said russia has never wanted khadafi to stay but opposes nato as methods to remove him for more details so i'm now joined live by gore pissed off here in moscow where you are breaking message coming from moscow today so what more can you tell us about. well moscow has recognized the national transitional council in libya as the sole authority in the throne here according to foreign minister silvio levels since the very beginning of the conflict russia has been stressing that it's up to the libyan people to decide in which direction they

want to see the republican she moving in and they want to see in power it's just that the methods also this was the sheaves that they were raising questions during . school. system we could bring up the russian has never approved of the film a libyan regime back in may president medvedev clearly stated that. the way the united nations resolutions were implemented by someone three members and other states and that the principle of the supremacy of law was being disregarded the african union and un initiatives were ignored leading to an increase in civilian casualties of however it was the protection of the civilian population that was sent as the major objective of the security council resolutions implemented by nato and we are absolutely sure that justice cannot be done using a norful map and. just to remind you during the un security

council vote on the resolution russia abstained thus the de facto letting the no fly resolution be passed but since then there is the russian officials have been accusing the alliance of misinterpreting the resolution of acting far beyond its legal mandate for example russia's envoy to me told me that i was in this one saying that nato has been abusing the resolution in its own interests. for a girl thanks very much indeed for bringing us this update their reporting from moscow . and i'll leave you a contact for him comprised of sixty countries calling himself friends of libya are gathering in paris to discuss the future of the country post could offer a russian representative is attending the meeting for the first time well let's find out more and talk to our tease it iis you correspond daniel bushell that is brussels they also talk us through what will be going on in paris later today.

yes a first chance for many around the world to really take a look at libya's new leader russia is attending as a many countries from around the world not just those who took part in the bombardment of libya there is some concern here about the language being used by western powers so just before this meeting talk of creating a roadmap for libya of helping i'm going the country's development is that it will try to take the future of libya both politically and economically russia's representative. is a man called because he says that most of the libyan people. colonel gadhafi i mean what the final decision on what libya is going to become an easy one for the libyan people to make. politicians will be playing a leading parts we simply the national democratic vote will determine this and it

should be well prepared and moduli courageous this is where the international community and russia in particular is eager to render active support to the libyans . now a key issue on the table will be unfreezing of libyan money held the broad. money which is now being on frozen and given to the rebel leadership to use for libya russia and. very concerned they've expressed concerns that that money mostly used correctly but it must be fairly and make sure that it is distributed to the libyan people and not used for other aims. by daniel thanks very much indeed our correspondent dana bash reporting live from brussels and. who we heard a little earlier has given us a full interview and to watch that later today here on our. asked to discuss the situation surrounding levy i'm joined by mark almond who's oxford international

relations expert a strawman thank you very much for being here with us here on the program so while those friends of libya meeting taking place in paris result in any major decisions over the country's future in your opinion. well i think we have to distinguish between two groups of friends there's a broader group of countries including those who say rush over to her relations with her that we were sure it was going to be and then as a matter of the new regime to our french british the americans on the core nato countries are narrow gulf states who are court or was probably operated special forces on the ground or money and so i think one of the issues we see at this meeting is really how the new review is going to be open for business to all the countries that are interested in it or the international sources of trade in will and how far it will be a privilege woohoo havingness aims. created by the new regime because without the support of nato colonel gadhafi i think very clearly would have crushed his

opposition back in march and therefore with that will the new regime survive without continued protests or against those residual forces who still support colonel gadhafi or don't refuse to accept it and certainly that remains to be seen what russia has just recognize a national transitional council but harshly criticize nato as actions in libya as breaching international law so in light of a growing criticism how long do you think the alliance will stay in the country. when you see the way we have to level spaces weasel language used nato technically is only providing us or there are troops special also those intelligence agents and so on the whole nato countries like britain and america are ground but they are technically not on of our bases so we have in advance of times the nato alliance taking action bombing targets which claims civilians and other times a special course this will be individual nato country. not under nato to take action to support the rebels political and strategic goals to control i suspect

therefore for that we may see the need to know who is and lifted fairly soon after he was captured or killed and was incensed at darts but i suspect we won't see the end of individual special forces special or poisons intelligence and security operatives armagh round he was quite the contrary if there is a real resistance if there is a cruel arlen's then i think we all installations your pipelines will be come a separate state within state to be protected from the international oil companies and western countries that are right or rather us in saudi arabia you have a clue when to conduct installations are. well while western leaders will be deciding today on the future of the levy have posed garfield what can be said about the ordinary levy ins and well their desires and wish to be taken into account.

this is the basic problem isn't it colonel gadhafi might want to be able to move. a motion to heighten numbers on his side which frankly in order to rebels there is a huge silent majority that hasn't been trained great enthusiasm and may well feel that if and when elections are held close elections will still be decided by those who have gone. after all we still see the streets of tripoli and garcia was only become part of government and i think therefore the question of whether this new libya will really be democratic is really very much in the air and i'm afraid on task for this kind of religion invention tends to produce a but also elections that were already rescript didn't result in britain. and i doubt very much. trouble to green this and he seemed to want to see it turned out a car which might have if there was a generation or two living rooms they will be either moved to extremes from

allusions country into war chaos and bloodshed fragments are many thanks very much indeed for being here with us in the program mark armin's oxford international relations expert fuck you. more news and analysis coming off the sour here on r.t. and there's something in the air. a chemical leak in the euros from mine escapes from a railway container a poisoning the air for the lawmakers around also. cosmic task the next crew of the international space station takes its final exams ahead of a planned launch despite the recent rocket trouble. the crackdown on anti-government protesters is reportedly continuing in syria but was most foreign media expelled from the country and the correspondents who remain under tight control a true picture of the situation it's hard to stablish are just renegotiate was one

of the few foreign journalists reporting from the troubled country. mass murder and terror in 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 are going digital and manipulated and there have been reports about 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 that he said palestinian refugees in the coastal city of latakia the stadium in the dark it became the center of a 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 do some of the palestinians when they got to the stadium their ideas 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 with other very macabre macabre association especially in this particular region so the ankle sprain has developed sort of a practice of hurting people in the stadiums and then and then committing mass executions we went to the part of the city which supposedly came under fire from warplanes unleashing in 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 they 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 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 to london so did two thousand refugees only to realise there was no air and navy attack taking place on the city. and we felt like we were lying to the largest syrian authorities have long been insisting rogue armed groups are behind the unrest in syria and it's them who start shooting first during the history prompting bloodshed those statements are all but ignored by the media. and syria is fighting a media war and it's a losing it. the syrian government might have realized its mistake of banishing foreign journalists from the country and new media law has overturned that ban but there is no guarantee it will go

a long way towards changing series image as portrayed on major networks even those court t.v. area. oh everything continues to follow events in syria and can get her latest reports on twitter and her latest message she reports that she's hearing rumors several newborn babies have died in the city of hama which was reportedly rate of by government forces so follow us at r.t. other score com. it. is. being in the euro zone as a live being in a straight jacket as 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. his comments akko growing his tilting towards the single currency within the union and the czech prime minister has questioned the obligation to join the euro zone's country faces under e.u. membership rolls saying they were told it was a monetary union not a doubt union but easier ship maintains the crisis is temporary and the euro is safe and secure something to show one bent over felt 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. handicaps we have and i was 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 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 be real focus of the discussion and that is that really don't have the 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 the european council to give give up on the idea of a monetary union. and european banks are in big danger and that's coming from the world's top banker such artes financial experts max kaiser and states herbert and

the kaiser report later today. 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 be capitalized 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 would look are talking about is to expand but that the equity board there's no other solution that you could possibly come up with because she's just an academic neil liberal wank whose only purpose of life is to theoretically come up with new ways to expand the debt burden her solutions are absolutely and

a fema to something that would be beneficial to anyone except debt peddlers of whom she represents. seven years on russia commemorates the victims of the deadly hostage crisis the two place in a school in the town of beslan over three hundred people died during the brutal siege most of them children as artie's would you know question the reports the tragedy has left behind wounds unlikely to ever heal. i want to go up. it all happened within the walls of the 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 the hope died on the last day of the seach was many of their children this siege answered only on this third day russian forces answered the building to seize the hostages after a sudden explosions rained 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 says it's not the hunger wounds or the theory of death that all her darkest memories. really remember the most terrifying moment within these three days and that was her thought that almost my brother was killed i saw one of the terrorists shooting in the back of a young boy and i thought it was him. brothers out survived but for everyone in beslan those three days in september forever split their lives into before and

after i don't know doesn't want to talk about what happened a month the same as so many others who live in the city locals here only 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 after each chance he gets he welcomes an escape from the city to come back home his best friend who salaam always meets him up at the airport and this day was no exception. should we go. 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 which is called the city of angels was not chosen by accident it is says who is on the road that leads to the region's airport so everyone who visits the republic
