russia's representative. says that the national transitional council will have to work with other countries not just those who fought the militarily foreign minister. during this conflict it has said during the war that good i think should leave power but what the concern is for russia is that the principles of international law have been ignored by nato aggression all throughout this meeting leaders to come up with more aid and more money to try and help libya rebuild as it approaches this rebuilding of this civil war and. start to plan their post get out if you were here i mean i'm from a washington based think tank that the actions of the alliance gets far dangerous international consequences. the old rule that colin powell called the parlor pottery barn rule if you break it you bought it as we did in the us did in iraq if
12:04 am
there is some sort of an internal turmoil and the whole world is going to look to britain france nato and the united states to to do something about it and of course that will require ground forces people were asking him early on well who are these rebels that we're supporting and everyone just kind of looked at each other because no one really knew who they were and there's been many members come from eastern libya where the rebels originated we don't know what will take the place of khadafi could if he was there but he had made his peace with the west given up his nuclear program that is also a bad. example for iran and north korea when they see countries like iraq under saddam hussein and libya under the when they had these nations have given up their nuclear programs they get invaded or attacked what does that tell iran or north korea tells them that they must build the weapons faster. the e.u. is to place an embargo on syrian oil imports later on friday which will deprive
12:05 am
president a lot of his main source of cash this as the u.k. u.s. and france push for harsher sanctions while reports claim the death and torture of hundreds of opposition supporters but as. has been finding out not all syrians are unhappy with their government. we are in one of the poorest areas of the city of homes that this is where generally people are said to gather and then proceed on to the center of homes in demonstrations this is where most of the had just happened as you can see this is a very lively area every side thinks up to the television happens it's more of an event now when we talk to people they told us that majority of it i don't under-estimate to come out in the city happened because of the religious basis they're not against the government they're not for any political matter this is most of the things that do happen in homes most of the controversy that does happen in homes because all the religious basis of their respect for the allawi and of the
12:06 am
sunni muslims they see a lot now there have been no takes none that we have seen we did see some army presence we charge trying to keep the area under control or to prevent the end breasts to train their religious groups but other than that we haven't seen or heard any shooting we haven't seen any tanks and his wife really seems to be running the way it's usually runs until of course television crews show up and start filming in the middle of the day now we also have been in one of the most dangerous areas of holmes not a home but right around the time off the noon pierre unfortunately in syria the period after noon prayers has become a somewhat educational time for people to take to the streets and for violence to break out but we were lucky there was no violence this time round. i mean english girl reporting there well coming up later in the program greek debt is spiraling out of control. at least budget reports claims athens will not be able to meet its obligations sinking deeper into recession. than will russia ukraine and
12:07 am
european consumers survive another gas route as vaska and he have battled it out over and over you prices. as former bosnian serb general rock a lot of prepares to stand trial for alleged genocide in bosnia the international war crimes tribunal is still gathering evidence for his case international body which is supposed to be on top of details concerning the ninety's balkans war as i asked our team to provide an interview with large from nine hundred ninety five which the channel narrative chain on that interview the x. army chief made serious allegations against un peacekeepers in bosnia well for more on this let's cross live now to our tease and he's now away. and he says so why is the hague asking our team for that interview. really that's a very good question and a surprising question because in that interim you are very very strong allegations
12:08 am
against u.n. peacekeepers another of forces that were in the region after the bosnian war and during the bosnian war i just want to give you an idea of one of the sharpest allegations against u.n. peacekeeping forces quote instead of disarming the muslim formations as they had committed themselves to doing united nations forces turned those safe areas into terrorists and fundamentalist bases where our villages and towns were attacked so you see the the severity of these allegations that were made by militants in this interview he also went on to choose the u.n. of smuggling weapons into demilitarized zone some very serious statements in this interview how it was missed is really i know it's quite baffling. especially considering that like you said it was filmed back in ninety two ninety five just after the seventies a massacre which is one of the atrocities that nobody's standing trial for and it was also filmed by a was through channels in archie was a day able to obtain it from the bosnian archives and now of course it will fully
12:09 am
cooperate with the hague but the fact that they missed this very important piece of evidence is shocking. well indeed and also in that particular interview accuse the international war crimes tribunal of bias against serbs which they're fairly widespread allegations on critics isn't it. right and this is just going to play right into that criticism you have the harshest critics saying things like that they try to you know is a political show not a court of law and the fact that they missed this piece of material that is just going to play into those claims another thing that those critics base their facts on is that seventy percent of the indictments that the tribe you know has issued has been against serbs so a lot of critics say that it's not fair that it's one sided and that this latest news that archie will have provide a never before seen interview that somehow got buried in the archives is going to
12:10 am
help those critics in their claims that the war tried you know is biased in fact let it plays out not so great for the serbian side. all right elise thanks very much indeed for bringing us the details on this and he's now reporting there. russia is marking the painful anniversary of a best line tragedy when over three hundred thirty people died after terrorists took over a school in the republic of north a city or seventy years ago hundreds gathered at the school to lay flowers and light candles in memory of the victims more than half of whom were children people also brought bottles of water remembering how around a thousand hostages suffered from severe dehydration during the three day siege a period of mourning began in september the first and last for fifty one hours and fifty minutes exaggeration of the ordeal. the u.s. congress is considering a bill introduced by republican lawmaker that would cut off american funding to any
12:11 am
u.n. body that recognizes palestinian statehood bombing ministration is stonily opposed to the bill saying it would undermine america's international standing a proposal comes as the u.n. prepares to vote on recognizing the palestinian state later this month. is across events in new york city. this proposed legislation was put forth by us late and she's the chairman of the house foreign affairs committee and she is also a staunch supporter of israel part of this legislation calls for the u.s. to change the way that it's financing the united nations it wants her bill calls for washington to choose voluntarily choose the programs they want programs that it wants to fund and contribute to now currently the united states is the biggest contributor and financier of the united nations comprising twenty two percent of its the un's core budget and paying for twenty five percent of its peacekeeping
12:12 am
missions now this bill proposed by ross latent also calls for all the funding to peacekeeping missions to stop and halt until reform is put in place those peacekeeping missions also include the u.n. relief and works agency which the palestinian refugees since bill also says that all funding for u.n. agencies or programs that support palestinians and membership to the united nations would end immediately now late today in did accuse. of scheming to get membership in the united nations while not recognizing that israel's right to exist she has openly said that of course the timing is not a coincidence she introduces this bill in this legislation to stop palestinians from seeking membership even native nations and that of course will be voted on later this month many experts believe that this bill proposed by a u.s.
12:13 am
congresswoman puts the u.s. at a very weak position it takes away its credibility at the united nations because clearly this extends far beyond diplomacy this looks more like an arm twisting than diplomacy that calls for to stop funding for peacekeeping. missions around the world when we see what's taking place in conflict zones particularly when we look at libya look at what's happening in other places around the world in syria and in the un is involved in all those conflicts in trying to alleviate them and so now you have someone that is a lawmaker of. the united states calling for funding to start if if israel is is harmed or credited in any way. now reporting there from new york a grave warning throwing out in greece as a budget watchdog releases an internal report saying the country's debt is now out
12:14 am
of control the committee said athens is slipping on its interest payments and could lose all benefits from a second e.u. bailout games me away from that you can expound nations as the greek economy is effectively going down the drain. the cat is out of the bag and to be quite honest the statement is quite close to simple statements of the facts greece cannot possibly repay its debt under under current circumstances the growth isn't there the debt is start to begin that simply no earthly way is going to be able to repay this debt on any causal time scale certainly not by twenty twelve which was the original kind of hope the other european nations the divisions that are in place right the way across europe now with countries completely unable really to agree on any kind of way forward out of this mess other than the essentially tried and tested and tried and failed methods they have last year which essentially is giving little bailouts to certain countries then impose austerity measure it's got to bear in mind that this bailout isn't really about helping the greek economy and
12:15 am
certainly not the people of great suv suffered under austerity now for eighteen months of the most dreadful time huge cuts in public spending in services and people's wages rising unemployment and no real prospects for the future that's what he means that the bailouts really were always about trying to support the european financial system rather than supporting say the greek economy we are certainly i think in the early stages of disintegration of europe the deep rooted structural problems inside the euro system the imbalances that have built up for the last ten years so i'd be surprised to see the euro continuing in its present form given the situation we're in at the moment. well our t. dot com has more stories for you any time you want but here's a taste of what's online for you there today at railway accidents causes a toxic leak and rushes you whirls clouds of bromine gas covering the city. and over three hundred thousand dollars in taxpayers' money funds
12:16 am
a questionable public service in washington d.c. as the carriage goes towards opening a strip club for more on this head to our website r t v dot com. anguish police are playing a pressure on the media to hand over all used and on used food from last month's riots to help identify looters prime minister david cameron called on broadcasters of the press to take responsibility and assist scotland yard by releasing the material voluntarily but media groups have been opposed to the request saying they didn't want to be seen as an evidence gathering arm of the police scotland yard said of would attain a court order if it has to get the materials he needs meanwhile officers are already looking around forty thousand hours of c.c.t.v. footage of the right best to get a journalist tony gosling says that by using the media from which to gather evidence the police will make journalists a target for future rioters. i was very disappointed to see that david cameron in
12:17 am
the emergency debate about the riots was actually saying and i quote the media has a responsibility to hand over pictures and i think this is absolutely appalling thing to say that's the sort of thing you would expect in a police state with police can go down to the independent broadcasters and just demand footage demand details of people who've been taking film this kind of thing then go around potentially raid their homes too so i don't know where david camm is coming from on this as far as i know we live in a liberal democracy and we've got a free and independent press the other thing is ultimately what's going to happen in a demonstration situation if you're going to have the crown turning on the journalist they will come even possibly lynch camera people thinking and if this goes through quite rightly in this case thinking that these people are actually this they're filming evidence for the police and this is an absolutely unacceptable situation police and the media are trying to do a similar thing in certain circumstances when
12:18 am
a crime is just like in place and it's very important that both of them are doing it independently they have got forty thousand they told us hours of c.c.t.v. footage to go through and it seems to me that maybe they're getting a bit bored with doing that they're actually trying to actually co-opt the press in britain to be evidence gatherers for the police and that would be a horrendous thing if it ever takes place. if the delegatee had highly explosive issue of russian gas dominating relations between moscow and kiev right now ukraine wants to renegotiate a deal signed by the countries x. prime minister yulia timoshenko back in two thousand and nine and slash the price of paid but russia says its neighbor our first nothing in return here chaps the reports he was out of it has led to a slippery slope. for the past two months angry chaunce have been filling essential key of streets from dusk till dawn. their slogans
12:19 am
are different one says former prime minister yulia tymoshenko must be jailed others protest against her standing trial in the first place but both camps are united in their unhappiness about the price of place for russian gas one set in contracts signed by tymoshenko two years back. we need to revise the contract we need to make it more suitable for the two countries interests we don't need discounts and preferential treatment we need to think the price ukraine currently plays up to four hundred us dollars four thousand cubic meters of russian gas that is no longer within the country style budget so kiev has been pushing hard for a price drop so that is the need for a cheaper gas that some sources say to make even take legal action against moscow to get the two thousand and nine deal changed so we often hear examples of similar lawsuits in germany and italy but in those cases there were flaws in the contract
12:20 am
you know our case the contract makes perfectly legitimate it needs to be fulfilled all these warnings of a lawsuit like need to trans to bully our major partner the response from moscow suggests is not being persuasive enough. we need arsenals clear if he wants cheaper gas can integrate into a common economics piece if you don't want parts and give us a good commission offer like selling our gas transportation system tunes we don't want any of those only discounts having store that negotiations is looking for another escape route it has signed an eight hundred million dollar contract with world that shell who explore its reserves of shale gas potentially the biggest in europe but experts are skeptical saying it can hardly be considered a replacement for natural gas not to mention continuing concerns over its safety. chill gases extracted by hydro fracking that means special chemicals are added to the water to break up the rock formations the components of these chemicals are
12:21 am
kept secret by the companies in the united states who claim it's a commercial secret dark water laced with chemicals ends up in drinking water so shell gas development poses the serious threat to the environment and health. experts say shale gas reserves and ukraine will take up to a decade to develop there over the last year of claims next year it wants less russian gas slashing the amount of plants to buy by more than a third that's in violation of the two thousand and nine deal which could lead to drastic consequences for another tussle over gas prices between clear far north called left menu warring in europe but there will be another gas war and another disruption of supplies into the european continent but the russian energy minister reassured that the events of two thousand and nine will not happen again and that there is still enough time to find a compromise solution a look see russia r.t. reporting from kiev in ukraine. without take a look at some other stories from around the world a u.s.
