russia recognizes a libya's transitional council as the functioning or farsi but says nato has approached to bring down to down the volleys of international the wall the so-called friends of libya conference is held in paris to discuss the country's show. you gave these precious media a role first of all yes riots promising court action if your call says don't plan. on russia going to embrace the painful seven thousand of us free of the school siege that shocked the country and the world when more than three hundred people were killed we see children.

a very warm welcome to you this is all seen life from moscow russia house never supported gadhafi got the key message from a foreign minister sergei laughed off who also opposed they say methods to remove the former libyan leader you could have gone off as more russians on the libyan conflict. moscow has recognized the national transitional council as the sole legitimate power in libya and according to russia's foreign minister since the very beginning of a conflict russia has been stressing that it's up to the libyan people to decide in which direction they want to see their country moving in and who should be at balmoral but it's the methods with which gaddafi is being forced from power which are raising a lot of questions here in moscow and i think going you know that russia has never approved the film

a libyan regime back in may president medvedev clearly stated that. the way the united nations resolutions were implemented by some nato members and other states meant that the principle of the supremacy of law disregarding the african union and un initiatives renewed leading to an increase in civilian casualties of that they should however it was the protection of the civilian population that was set as the major objective of the security council resolutions implemented by nato since it was absolutely sure that justice cannot be done using. this with aleppo that we're going to just remind you during the u.n. security council vote on the resolution russia abstained thus the de facto letting the north light resolution be passed but since then various russian officials have been accusing the alliance of misinterpreting the resolution of acting far beyond its legal mandate for example russia's envoy to nato old media that wasn't has been

saying that nato has been abusing the resolution in its own interest. or conference on libya comprised of sixty countries gallagher's and past that assaf the country's future article japanese regime that meeting comes following reports from its work at thirty five percent of libyan oil. correspondent daniel bushell has more from brussels. first chance really for many around the world to see libya's new leadership russia is attending this meeting as are many countries around the world not just those who participated in the warming of libya a key issue on the table will be unfreezing of money held which is belonging to libya held by various states that will be of unfreezing that money and giving it over to the rebel leadership the rebel leadership to distribute now russia is very concerned it's very worried that that money is spent correctly but it wants to make

sure that it goes to the libyan people and not for other aims is also a concern here about the language being used by various western leaders who were just before this meeting talk of creating a road map for libya of coiling and helping its development now russia's representative to libya is a man called me and he says it's very important the libyan people are the ones who decide the future of their own country the final decision on what libya is going to become each one for the libyan people to make not for worlds politicians have been playing in parts recently a national democratic vote will determine this and it should be well prepared and jewelry this is where the international community and russia in particular is eager to render active support to the libyan. there's a deal have been reported for france to get a third of libya's entire all reserves now libya has africa's biggest reserves of

oil and that will come as a big embarrassment for french president sarkozy who had always insisted that the country's aim in going in and bombing libya was to protect citizens that could explain my friend drug companies accompanied the very first french delegations to rebel held back in march. a lot into a with russia's envoy to africa office coming up in full later this hour right here on r.c. now international consultant and former belgian m.p. a lot of a new study says if the backstage or oil deal between france and the rebel government proves to be true it sanity sets of ocracy and defame is what he shows is steady as a total contempt of democracy i mean he even packed with his traditional government council but the thing is this is the city to me why the democratic government of

libya i mean he has no right it is sheer little thing is this is going to happen more and more this is what happened before in iraq or and in other places i mean it's the usual stuff. and that's plenty more to come in the programming polluting random reporting with foreign media down for the come. down so it grow over you with the intensity of reports coming from syria. and finally the next crew to go into the brits preparing to liftoff despise delays of a trip to the international space station. greece is enormous that is now out of control balance the budget presented to the country's parliament by a special budget monitoring committee are facing a ruinous recession the country simply can't keep up with interest payments on the

. trillion dollar debt that is the leaders continue to bicker over greece's second two hundred billion rescue package with finland demanded collateral in return for its participation with all kansans portugal's prime minister declares a new wave of austerity measures and tax hikes across the spectrum to meet the country's own rescue bailout interest payments for more let's cross live now see a politician on the comments with the remarks live from prague mr moffat many thoughts of being with us here at r.t. just a few days ago you wrote president said that being in the euro zone was like being in a straight jacket so why do you think there's such hostility towards the. well. this is gone or if that means. economies share the euro. not simply that. this was the least you can only buy in the early difficulties because they

are horrible istar of growth again if they show the same exchange rate with germany and other growing economies of their the spoken well you mentioned greece there let's talk more of the desert ration there has been called out of control by its own government in your opinion do you think greece can pull out of this situation or is it just downhill from here really yet i sing that it's impossible for greece to put their government finance into balance while you show the euro because they are still in a recession in this edition it's simply impossible to balance the budget or you can make that a certain parts. however we are where we are and greece has now found itself in this situation so do you think that it is now the duty all of the. payouts and

push that second bailout through to put the situation right once and for all. there is no social good do. people believe the european union treaty on the back of such a bailout but the eurozone tries to bail greece are because they are afraid. but in france see that one eurozone member would injure all other countries so i think therefore there are at least a. billion greece out by the owner of this simple who will not work well let's look at the history of some of the issues that have plagued the euro back in july the e.u. vowed to do everything from easy piece of ports to a united europe to halt the crisis but this iteration that we're now in france says

it faces a credit downgrade germany's economy also seems to be facing stagnation so what is going on was it not enough. almost all countries in the european union have very high public that's higher than it was then what was allowed limits of sixty per cent of g.d.p. not ballpark leads how the same situation there are countries that increase their. mission oil there are countries without any problem like the nuclear flood sumburgh . but what we can see is. its economic nonsense to share a currency and not share a fiscal policy and sharing fiscal policy and having one single ministry of

finance is impossible in there's something no one wishes so that as the equation which has no other solution then enabling some countries really there's minor that's what i think as an economist and i thank you for they store their economy stand up politician of the free third isn't a party many times and speaking to us from prague. russia is marking the painful anniversary of the beslan hostage crisis in which over three hundred people died most of them children. we've all been mourning for seven years already and our tears westray my nephew died here he was a clever ten year old boy who could have become a great man. my nine year old son died here it's the hardest tragedy to lose a child. dreads talbott out with school today flowers

and like candles in memory of the victims the mourning will continue until the third of september marking the generation of the hostages deal which lasted for fifty watt hours and fifty minutes as are used to do the course of our course the tragedy has passed some wounds that simply called you. know. it all happened within the walls of this school here more than a thousand people work out without water all food and in constant fear for many parents who had been waiting outside and praying the whole died on the last day of this siege was many of their children this siege and it's only on this day russian forces entered the building to seize the hostages after sudden explosions

rang out on to have a gunfire and risking their own lives they bundled both women and children to safety alina was among the lucky ones deceived by the soldiers she was severely injured and spent several months in hospital but she sassed it's not the hunger wounds all the things that all her darkest memories. i clearly remember the most terrifying moment within these three days but i thought that i lost my brother i thought he was killed by someone who turned searching in the back of a young boy and i thought it was him. two brothers out survived but for everyone in bassline 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 but month the same a so many others who live in the city locals here only add to 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

a 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. yeah but let's first place though the place itself is far from usual because this is a summitry 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 the cemetery which is called the city of angels was not chosen by accident this is who is on the road that leads to the region's airport so everyone who visits the republic will not miss it so as many people as possible will stop and remember those dog days and those innocent lives that would take my dinner question or answer reporting from north to south here. top media outlets in the u.k.

are resisting calls from london's metropolitan police to hand over thirty eight and photos of this riots police say the images could help them identify criminals to get them through called an action of the broadcasters the newspapers don't comply will also use a lower and it joins me live now from london with this nor so what exactly is it that the police want and why. the police are looking for as you say any first two or three to graphs that were taken in around or at the time of the riots because they say that there is space craft and that could contain evidence of crimes in action crimes being committed and that therefore they could catch people reds hands it's this prime minister david cameron urging the media to take its share of the responsibility essentially said play its part in bringing these people to justice just as the general public and so he urged media organizations to immediately hand

over. police forces since then across the country particularly where the rights took place have been informally approaching their local newspapers local television stations so hyundai will voluntarily and immediately both broadcast footage which is sort of almost ok because that forces will then a pair on you tube another video websites but also on broadcasts for state and on used those across and that's where the rub really is people see this is a huge freedom of the media issue and all those crossing and newspaper organizations approach say that they're going to seriously resist essentially to avoid being seen as the evidence gathering on the police by the general public now there is a procedure will handing over the stage and photographs me to organizations and the procedure is that the police must apply for a course and then the judge must look at it he must he or she must weigh up the interests of the police in receiving. that's information with the public interest

in having a free media and if the judge then decides that because the interest outweighs the public interest then he will then he or she will alter the means or organization of that material and there's not much that they can do in that case and that is a procedure that has been in place for a number of years but it seems that the police and the government are willing now because of the riots to. see dusts really compromising the freedom of the press and also compromising people's trust in the media which of course we know has been seriously eroded anyway by the recent phone hacking scandal more hours of some soul the mainstream media the traps the attention of law enforcement officers off of the riots i hear that they're also interested in the internet. and that's right this is part of a sort of why is a crackdown on the media if you like particularly social media say facebook twitter and blackberry messenger which police say they have evidence of that those kinds of

media having been used to incite the riots prime minister david cameron again said following the riots that he wanted to ban the people from social media now that's not a new thing that's been done before banning people from the internet if they're accused of hacking for example but this is new he also wants to give police the power and the technology to trace people particularly on twitter i'm glad the messenger is that only sending messages to to cause some kind of violence and also to close those media down in certain situations and we've heard reports that the police considered closing down twitter during the riots so that they considered that already now these court cases involving alleged rights are being rushed through the judiciary we've seen courts working twenty four seventh's a process all this huge number of particularly young people that have been in the alleged people caught up in this violence and people have been arrested for using social media to incite violence isn't civil rights groups are calling a lot of the sentencing disproportionate but particularly in the case of two men

who were jailed for four years each for inciting the riots on facebook they opened up particular facebook events and asked people to to to subscribe to them to go and bust up their local towns essentially and those are some of the toughest sentences those four years that have been handed down the judge said when he when he gave these sentences that they recognize how technology can be used to incite criminal activity that of course is true but it can also be used for the good and we saw that very clearly in the often wrath of the riots when cleanup operations organized also via social media sites so essentially what we're seeing now is the government and the police looking at a very fine line between ensuring safety and cut tailing liberties and certainly according to many they are on the wrong side of that line a. line for us from london. most hostile syria now where the government's accused of yet more vicious and

deadly assault on its restive cities but most foreign correspondents there remaining under tight control it's hard to get balance reports objective commentary on. one of the few 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 maybe images were being shown have been digitally manipulated and there have been reports of available online that you can watch of. 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 drugged and 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 palestinian refugee camp in the sunni quarter of latakia now according to the opposition forces and through 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 somewhat of a very macabre. association especially in this particular region so then hussein has developed sort of a practice of hurting people in stadiums and then and then committing mass executions we went to the part of the city which supposedly came under fire from warplanes and the 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 their side from the usual patrol. to gunfire did break out the army and government so some five thousand palestinians left their homes 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. so did two thousand refugees only to realize there was no air and navy attack taking place on the city. i felt like we were light to the largest syrian authorities have long been insisting rock armed groups are behind the unrest in syria and it's them who starts shooting first stations planting bloodshed those statements are all but ignored by the media there are syria is fighting a media war and it's losing. the syrian government might have realized its mistake

of banishing foreign journalists from the country media law has overturned that ban but there is no guarantee it will go a long way towards changing serious image as portrayed on major networks even those courtsey syria. the next international space station restart of exams ahead of their best and after spite. of the flight last week's failure of the soyuz rocket that led to a carcase supply vessel crashing back down. all over is it starts the sea in the mosque a region for us. well the next true of the international space station is being going through their final examinations ahead of their launch preparations that will be taking place later on now they have had their launch delayed as is g two the crash last week of the rocket carrying the progress resupply module up to the international space station of course everybody involved wanting to make sure that

they a manned space flight gets the help most attention and is as safe as they possibly can be now to talk to me about that by a man who's spent a lot of time in space thank you very much seventy five well thank you. luckless sore spot with last week how much of a problem was about to lose the progress module. the problem. in general listen are you something that you take precautions against a vehicle that will not cause any shortage of. food in which this will lead to one of the nukes too much of it is judging the security checks we need to run and stream ensure the crew safety which is always our top priority here because. of course they're going to want everything to be as safe as possible but how frustrating do you think it is both for this current crew to have to have their launch day delayed after getting up late in the head of it because of with me of course any change to the plan is a challenge for the crew to make this is what we're trying to. say thank you very

much well there we go they have had their launch they delayed but this program is still on the right track we wish them all the best of luck from star city peter all of a party. that's the way the news is this hour get out of the headlines shortly but first let's get a business update with junia. i know it's time to delve into the world of business ukraine has played a new card in its energy battle with russian state brought enough to gas has struck a deal with shelter jointly developed gas on ukraine territory it's part of the plan for ukraine to wean off its dependency on russian supplies so promises to invest eight hundred million dollars in the project in the meantime the struggling to persuade moscow to sell gas at a lower price the financial times reports a crane is poised to launch a legal challenge if it fails to secure its discount in the coming weeks here has
