5:02 am
underground in a while get up is bonkers to be one of the hogs on his escape route. what i've been hearing from the eyes of the public for many years remaining just one of the legends about the colonel became ever bailable once the adults took carefully here it is the answer is underground city hall the we're going down the sign in arabic at the hatch says the rats this way this is what people in the call cathy believe in his run away under the ground hiding from the rebels. there is no sound here of celebrates racial teams above ground it's dark and humid and scary some believe that gadhafi had blew the bomb shelter argues that it was a facility for the macabre his intelligence service some. living rooms like this
5:03 am
one. others just like freeze in cells yet there were more exciting findings i had this incredible rooms here i just packed with electronics of all kind. look at this it looks like professional equipment for surveillance but very very old. james bond type gadgets abound amazing how many with notes similarly never having been used shelves with cases where brown little and big cases from the mall till the ceiling has checked our fair. it's quite old one. this seems to be a briefcase recorder and just next door piles of all do and video recordings apparently taken with it is not is
5:04 am
a day to find it implies to play all the tapes looks like some of the secrets will never be revealed. in detail. as this is a video recording of the interrogation of a cia agent allison guy and his his name all papers we've found here i classified marked top secret oh that's interesting the book about legal and illegal eavesdropping methods bugs amongst us it was from here that the libyan big brother had been watch and its residents carefully no one can say for sure how far these underground tunnels through which i believe collaborators are cooperatives simply in one of the corridors and leads to the airport let's try to. that's not easy ok. here we are. the answer is looks
5:05 am
completely different the roster is here it's technology where we emerged in the city to talk about either way we spent a while underground it's not easy to recognize the area. let's ask the guys in the car. for money. argument. that money didn't well get in the money as far as i know this is more than fifteen minutes drive from but as is here where we started our hidden journey which is at least twenty twenty five kilometers and this is just a fraction of what's buried there under the ground well well that could be a priority in the country with the extraordinary was that if you like we've just seen that could prove an incredibly difficult task. r.t. tripoli libya me of
5:06 am
a more on the situation around the conflict in libya we are now joined by professor count violence from the national center for peace and conflict studies. the times thank you very much for being here with us in the program while libya's new interim government has assured world leaders they will build a society of tolerance now how likely is it that they will succeed. well i think they're up against some group real challenges at the moment and the first thing is it's a very red coalition of some highly unlikely problem and improbable coalition partners for example the liberation of tripoli was conducted largely by arabs who were sworn enemies of them being as you know it's to get those two groups together i think in itself would be a kind of a major challenge and there are a number of other kinds of trouble who want to claim on the spoils and so forth the other big challenge confronting the transitional ministration is how to ensure.
5:07 am
they can pursue a sort of a smooth transition from dictatorship to rule of law and there will be a lot of pressure for the incoming administration actually. generates sort of revenge for from past privileges and so forth so i think that the challenges facing the government are enormous well let's talk about leaving a post gadhafi now. in your opinion will rebel with cystic victory in the country mark the end of nato's interest in the country or is airlines there to stay. we'll hope is not there to stay. alive said so not being very successful in the past decade or so witness in iraq and afghanistan and there is no indication of. an issue occupations will be any more successful in libya so i think the strategy at the moment is to have a kind of more hands off strategy to loosen up funds for they try to sort of
5:08 am
ministration to transitional council to. get the water running again and to. supply is going to open up hospitals and so forth look there's basically i think an effort to try and maintain a bit of an arm's distance i think would be foolhardy for nato to counter the as an occupier from the global fan point what kind of signals is this alliance campaign sending to other regimes. i think assuming mixed messages. the reality is there are many of our other countries for example syria. which are not going to be subject to this kind of third round of nato alliance so the major reason for this particular intervention is world we've got to be. closer to europe. italy and france and you know we can go particular very keen to
5:09 am
get a virtual world going you can. all right professor kevin clements from the national center for peace and conflict studies thank you for being here with us in programming sharing your views with us thank you. a u.n. investigation has declared that israel used excessive force during its raid on a gaza about a flotilla last year however the report obtained by the new york times found that israel's blockade of gaza is legal nine activists were shot dead by a commandos who boarded the turkish ship i just costlier has a story. the most significant findings of this u.n. report deal with a great israeli commando unit handled the raid on board the mother that was the largest missile that took part in that there's a turner and it was the vessel on which a nine turkish citizens were killed to quote recorded it is really in an excessive and reasonable manner and that the loss of life was an acceptable now the report
5:10 am
says it has forensic evidence that points to the fact that those who have been killed were shot multiple times in the past and at close range and it criticizes the papers that israeli submitted for not adequately accounting to this report also says that the way the crew and passengers were dealt with israel welcomed by the israeli after the raid and was what they call significant mistreatment it's as if they were physically in this handles it says it was intimidation harassments and that their belongings had been justifiably confiscated but on the other hand the source also says that israel's controversial caved on gaza is not illegal it is a does comply with international law and the israeli soldiers have boarded that ship deface significant organized and violent resistance there and did require them to respond in a violent manner to protect themselves that's not on the twentieth of september the palestinian leadership will be appealing to the united nations general assembly to
5:11 am
accept their unilateral declaration of a palestinian state as the timing of this report is significant now what the week there have been reports are these were a government in the israeli army arming the iraqi hard a million israeli settlers who live on land that were potentially become part of a palestinian state now the israelis have been criticized for inflaming the situation by arming settlers who are essentially trying to create a situation that will ultimately lead to violence the palestinian leadership has been accusing television for hours trying to present them in a bad light ahead of this to vote because of course israel is against it and. trying to muster up as much support as it can internationally for countries not to support the palestinian declaration of statehood. cause they are reporting there let's not talk more on the implications of this report with an israeli diplomat alan pinkus who served as consul general in the united states because thank you for
5:12 am
being here with us but previously israel's official investigation into the foothill incident found the commandos actions legitimate and the blockade itself legal but the turkish investigation came to the opposite conclusion so in your opinion what impact will the un report have on relations between the two countries. well i mean i think the report provides both sides with. its ambivalent in the sense that it provides both sides with the opportunity to climb down and mutual demands on the one hand but on the other hand each side could feel vindicated in entrenched in its own position and that perhaps is the most important ramification the relations between israel and turkey i mean turkey could feel vindicated in the sense that israel did according to the report use excessive force on the other hand israel feels reassured and reinvigorated because the record the curry did israel's
5:13 am
blockade of gaza is both illegal in the international from the international legal point of view and also justified on security and political grounds so the question is marina and how are both sides going to treat the report as a vehicle to climb down from tensions and intransigence of the tensions and intransigence of the last several months or as an excuse to continue on this silly and fruitless bickering. well it does seem like the relations between the two countries are on a bumpy road so to speak well turkey says it will not resume relations until israel apologizes for the nine deaths caused during the rate so what's the way forward i mean what will take what we take for israel to apologize. well he hears the thing mary and i know i know we're. without going into too much
5:14 am
of the history of this event and the consequences israel could have and should have expressed regrets in the few short weeks or even months immediately after the events took place in may of two thousand and ten israel decided not to do that on the other hand the turkish demand for an apology is hollow and empty and motivated by a combination of the mystic turkish politics and regional projection of power by mr air the one and i think that both sides would be smart to to find a solution or a formula that would appease both of them and allow them to live or to reconcile the differences and allow them to live forever and ever comfortable and color comfortably rather with the with. it's not even a consequence because look israel will not apologize israel doesn't feel that it needs to apologize and clouding the government position turkey on the other hand as
5:15 am
you know and as your reporter said before hand in her report turkey's not only demanding an apology but actually said in ultimatum that if israel does not need to wear it if israel does not apologize then then diplomatic relations will not be severed but will be downgraded turkey will not only not wee in state its ambassador here in israel but israel's ambassador to turkey to ankara will be asked to leave packing and go on which basically means a downgrading of our relations this is detrimental to both sides interests all these demands for regrets and apologies in national honor are very nice but in the end nations have to act or at least i would hope they need to act according to their interests and not according to emotions because countries in the end should not have emotions they should have where they do in fact have interests. i think that it's also bad in the sense that the geopolitical conditions that exist in
5:16 am
september of two thousand and eleven right now and your reporter alluded to that too are quite significantly different from the political conditions that existed a few short months ago syria is on a stable events in egypt we were witnessing events in egypt and turkey is a good look to to maneuver as a regional power in israel's ability to maneuver as a regional power should complement each other rather than conflict contrast if both sides remain unchanged in their positions nothing good will come out of it all right allan thank us thank you very much indeed for sharing it here with us and it was a very different i think it's the service consul general. well the e.u. is to place an embargo on syrian oil imports later on friday which will deprive president alassane main source of cash this as the u.k. u.s.
5:17 am
and france push for harsher sanctions while reports clamp dass and torture of hundreds of opposition supporters russian strongly opposed to run resolution against syria foreign minister sergei lavrov has blamed the international community for creating tension in the country as archie's rebuilds 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 and 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 as we said something like 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 do happen 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 holds because of the religious base of the differences between. the sunni muslim
5:18 am
c.c.t.v. and now they're helping build takes down that we have seen we did see some army presence we charge trying to keep the area under control of it to prevent the unrest so trina there religious groups but other than that we haven't seen or heard any shooting we haven't seen any tanks and why freely 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 homes another home right around the time off the noon pierre unfortunately in syria the period after noon prayers has become somewhat of 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 round. really believed in reporting there. and syria from the syrian city of homs our president dmitri made to be idea of says russia is ready to strengthen economic and security

ties with against the russian leader has been meeting with his counterparts from ghana stamp pakistan and to stand in the tajik capital the summit focuses on improving security and trade in central asia but leaders hailed the handover of greater control from foreign forces to afghans by the also stressed the reduction of foreign military presence in afghanistan should go together with stronger efforts to provide proper training for local. our website r.t. dot com has more stories for you anytime you want and here's a taste of what's on lying right now to railway accident causes a toxic leak in russia's year olds with clouds of bromine gas covering the cd up to our veins. and over three hundred thousand dollars in taxpayers' money finds a questionable public service in washington d.c. as a cash goes towards opening a strip club from war on this go to r.t. dot com. they have a national war crimes tribunal has asked you to provide
5:20 am
a unique interview with former bosnian serb general ratko law which the channel managed to obtain the interview was recorded shortly after the alleged massacre in trevor needs in ninety ninety five for which is now standing trial in the hague speaking to journalists the eps army chief made serious allegations against un peacekeepers in bosnia and he said ali has the details. what was an archive of never before seen video footage of that interview before r t published it some two 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
5:21 am
committed themselves to doing the united nations forces turned those safe areas into terrorist and fundamentalist bases 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 zone 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 serbian it's a massacre which is one of the atrocities that melodic shiz 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 to the bosnian are costs of very surprising that this video footage which could certainly be a very important moment and very important material in the trial dismissed by the tribunals and its eighteen years of existence the tribunals has faced harsh criticism about it being biased it's fierce his critics go on to say that it's
5:22 am
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 tripe you know mr what could be very important evidence and part of the fact the reason i should say and what could 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 get to serve side in the other serve 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 lead is if you will missing of evidence by the tribunals is not going to help in criticism that the hague is in fact i. had that was a teaser correspondent any so now we're there and watch the full version of that unique interview with on our website which is r t dot com.
5:23 am
