winsor tell me touch your the future a good good how would international floods achieve every green lower job into. the clock is ticking for her and obviously porter is to accept an extended deadline for surrender as nato vows to stay media to keep pressure on the divine ousted leader of. the international war crimes tribunal asks r t to hand over an interview with former bosnian serb general rock a lot of this as the ex army chief stands trial over alleged crimes and genocide. u.s. republicans are pushing for a bill to cut off american funding to any united nations body that would recognize a palestinian statehood just weeks before the vote over the region this past.

nine am in the russian capital you're watching r t welcome to the program well time is running out for colonel gadhafi and his loyalists to agree to a peaceful surrender and even rebels have extended their deadline for his forces to lay down arms to avoid further bloodshed coffee whose whereabouts still unknown has been reported recently saying is ready to find a long guerrilla war meanwhile nato has vowed to stay in the country until the end of conflict and urge the u.s. and rid the wordings to negotiate a peaceful solution western leaders discussing levy's future in paris have agreed to unfreeze could offers as just words that leave you saying it will lift some of the sanctions imposed on the country artie's daniel bushell reports. nicolas sarkozy as long as moammar gadhafi and his forces remain a threat to libya they the military will continue to fight with the rebels and

hillary clinton met with the rebel leaders the national transition council and she said that libya's rebels should secure weapons amassed by gadhafi and ensure they're not used to threaten the country's security and in fact the rest of the world. is this conference with the u.n. security council to bring a new resolution in order to free up billions of dollars of frozen libyan assets and nicolas sarkozy and david cameron have called more countries and more bodies to recognize the national transitional council russia has become the latest country to recognize the rebels as the official government over libya now there is concern here that the nato forces and then they took countries will be favored as the rebels assume power there was rumors of a deal that france would get a third of libya's oil reserves africa's largest that's been denied to russia's representative to. markelov says that the national transitional council will have

to work with other countries and not just those who have hope the militarily formulas the. back of their feet during this conflict it has said during the war that it 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 and more money to try and help libya rebuild the process of rebuilding of this civil war. well as media start to claim their post get out of future ivan eland problem a washington based think tanks asked that the actions of the alliance could spark 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 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 al qaeda members come from eastern libya where the rebels originated we don't know what will take place of khadafi khadafi was bad 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 president 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 first areas of this is your 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 rest happened as you can see this is a very lively area every sign that it's up to the television happens it's more of an event now when we talk to people they told us that the majority of it either underestimate to cooperate in the city happened because of the religious basis they're not against the government they're not for any political matter this is where most of the things that do happen in homes most of the controversy that does happen holds in the pockets of the religious base of the differences between the weak and the sunni muslim cities so you seem to know there have been no tanks none that we have seen and we did see some army presence we charge trying to keep the

area under control in order to prevent the end breasts are trained 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 about one hundred right around the time off the noon pierre unfortunately in syria the period after noon prayers has become somewhat a traditional time for people to take to the streets and for violence to break out but we were lucky there was no violence this time around. read english the reporting there well coming up later in the program here on r t greek there is fire going out of control and the budget reform claims athens will not be able to meet its e.u. bailout obligations sinking deeper into recession. will russia ukraine and european consumers survive and the other gas route as moscow and here valid out

over energy prices. so later in the program for that international war crimes tribunal has asked r.t. to provide a unique interview with former bosnian. serve gentle rock a lot of which the challenge now is to obtain an interview was recorded shortly after the alleged massacre driver needs and nine hundred ninety five for which wattage is now standing trial in the hague speaking to journalists the x. army chief made serious allegations against un peacekeepers in bosnia for more on this let's cross live to our season he said no it's. so funny so why is the hague asking our team for that interview. well content here is key russia from a lot is made some very serious claims against the un and its peacekeeping forces in that what was an archive it never before seen video footage of that interview before r t published to some a jew weeks ago very serious claims there and really that's what makes it so

shocking that the tribunals missed this what could be very important evidence in the trial archie of course will fully cooperate and hand over that video footage to help with the ongoing proceedings in the hague i just want to give you an idea of what exactly was said in that interview one of the strongest statements as we see it and i'm quoting here is instead of disarming the muslim formations as they had committed themselves to doing the united nations forces joined those safe areas into terrorist and fundamentalist bases from where our villages and towns were attacked now malott it also goes on to say that he believes the un was smuggling weapons into demilitarized so you can see the severity of these claims and how they could possibly be very important evidence and again shocking really that the hague tribunals missed this type of first off because it was filmed in one thousand nine hundred five just after the seventies a massacre which is one of the atrocities that malott it is being accused of why

he's standing trial in the first place and second of all it was filmed by a western t.v. station is available because you know our costs are very surprising that this video footage which could certainly be a very important moments and very importantly cheery. in the trial dismissed by the tribe you know. what these are in that interim lot of trolls who accuse the international war crimes tribunal of bias against serbs which is a fairly widespread allegation on critics isn't it. right and it's eighteen years of existence to tribunals has faced harsh criticism about it being biased it's fiercest critics go on to say that it's a political show not a court of law and this is going to not weaken those claims and by this i mean of course this latest news that the tribunals missed what could be very important evidence and part of the fact the reason i should say and what these critics base their facts on is that seventy percent of the indictments that the court has issued

have all been against serbs and when you look at who is being tried over the past almost two decades you could say when you look at the serbs side and the other non serb generals or officials that have been tried a lot of them have been given much lesser sentences and some of them have even been acquitted and again this latest if you will missing of evidence by the trite you know is not going to help in criticism that the hague is in fact biased. and he's now a thanks very much indeed for bringing us the details. how russia is marking the painful anniversary of the beslan tragedy right over three hundred and thirty people died after terrorists to go worst school in the republic of north a city seven years ago hundreds gathered in 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 on september first and will last for fifty one hours and fifteen 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 u.n. body that recognizes palestinian statehood have been a staunch ally opposed to the bill saying it would undermine america's international standing but proposal comes as the u.n. prepares to vote on recognizing the palestinian state later this month. is across events in new york. this proposed legislation was put forth by. 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 the u.n.

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 one square budget and paying for twenty five percent of its peacekeeping missions now this bill proposed by ross layton 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 gave palestinian refugees rossley since bill also says that it's all finding for u.n. agencies or programs that support palestinians and membership to the united nations would end immediately now in did accuse. of scheming to get membership of the united nations while not recognizing 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 policy and from seeking membership at the united nations and that of course will be voted on later this month many experts believe this bill proposed by a u.s. congresswoman puts the u.s. in a very weak position it takes away its credibility at the united nations because clearly this extends far beyond diplomacy this looks more like arm twisting than diplomacy that calls for it 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 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 of the united states calling for funding to stop if if israel is

is harmed or credited in any way. reporting there now grave warnings ring out in greece as a budget watchdog lisa's internal report saying the country's debt is now out of control the committee said athens is slipping out on its interest payments and could lose all benefits from the second each james made away from the new foundation says 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 lose believe repaid their homes under current circumstances the growth isn't there the debt is far too big and the simply no earthly way is going to have to take this step on any causal time scale certainly not by twenty twelve which was the original kind of hope of the other european nations the divisions 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've heard last year which essentially is give a bit of a bailout to some countries and then impose austerity measures we've got to bear in mind that this bailout isn't really about helping the greek economy and certainly not the people of greece who suffered under austerity now for eighteen months of the most dreadful kind huge cuts in public spending in services and people's wages rising unemployment and no real prospects for the future that's what's thirty 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 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. and r.t. dot com has more stories for you any time you want here's

a taste of what's online right now a railway accident causes a toxic leaking russia's new rules with clouds of gas covering the city true audience. now worth three hundred thousand dollars in taxpayers' money funds a questionable public service in washington d.c. as a cash goes towards opening a strip club for war go to r.t. dot com. police in england are putting pressure on the media to hand over all used and unused foods from last month's rides to help identify looters prime minister david cameron colgan broadcasters and the press take responsibility and assist scotland yard by releasing voluntarily but media groups have been opposed to that request saying it didn't want to be seen as an evidence gathering arm of the police scotland yard said it was attain a court order if it has to to get you needs meanwhile officers are already looking through around forty thousand hours of c.c.t.v.

food which overrides investigative journalist tony gosling says that by using the media food and gathering evidence the police will make journalists a target for future rioters. but i was very disappointed to see that david cameron in 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 where the 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 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 in the media are trying to do a similar thing in certain circumstances strictly when a crime has just taken place but 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 and 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. it's the delicate yet highly explosive issue of russian gas dominating relations between moscow and kiev right now ukraine wants to renegotiate the deal signed by the country's prime minister. in two thousand and nine and slash the price that pays russia its neighbor or nothing in return and as lives here have to reports attitude has led us to a slippery slope. for the past two months angry chants have been filling essential

key of streets from dusk till dawn. their slogans 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 own happiness 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 a fair price ukraine currently plays up to four hundred us dollars four thousand cubic meters of russian gas that is no longer within the countryside budget so kiev has been pushing hard for a price drop so there is the need for a cheaper gas that some sources say it may 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 contracts in our case the contract makes perfectly legitimate and needs to be fulfilled so all these warnings of a lawsuit like needed terms to go you are major parker the response from moscow suggests is not going persuasive enough. we need ourselves clear if you want cheaper gas can integrate into a common economics piece if you don't want gas and give us a good commission offer like selling their gas transportation system too they don't want any of those only discounts having stalled at negotiations is looking for another escape route it's her sign an eight hundred million dollar contract with royal dutch shell to 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 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 she'll just have elegant poses serious threat to the environment and health. experts say shale gas reserves in ukraine will take up to a decade to develop there over the last he 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. many warring in europe that 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 still see reporting from kiev in ukraine. i started to look at some other stories from around the world a un investigation into israel's raid on a turkish base with hillah our route to gaza last year has found an excessive force was used however a report obtained by the new york times found israel's blockade of gaza in illegal . nine activists were shot dead by commandos who boarded a ship was moving troops acted in a disproportionate manner the publication of the report has been delayed to allow talks between israel and turkey has already rejected the document saying it disrespects international law. in nigeria over one hundred people most of them children have been killed by floods heavy rains in the south west of the country caused the river to overflow and a dam to collapse damaging three bridges and submerging buildings and i was here in red cross said more victims could still be found in remote areas that rescue teams have not yet reached. italian businessman has been arrested for blackmailing prime
