a very warm welcome to you this is r.t. live from moscow europe's launching economic offensive against syria this time targeting or oil imports which russia's foreign minister says will be useless in solving the arab countries a drawn out conflict so again last comments a came out a summit is the i ask countries where you also spoke about libya's new leadership but in a gradual that is the. so your lover of criticized what is described one sided sanctions against syria including imposing in bargo on oil exports from the country sanctions are rarely the best possible solution he said and could even make matters worse earlier the european union imposed embargo on all experts from the country and western powers are pushing for father matches against president for the brutal crackdown on protest that russia's fears concerning sanctions against syria are justified as many believe that sanctions are the first step to repeat levy as

disastrous scenario in syria russia call score more cooperation rather than military action and today sergei lavrov in particular said that moscow sent an official invitation to representatives of the national transitional council to come to russia to discuss potential energy projects and what is r.t. is daniel bushell report that everyone is eager to cooperate or even share with libya lining up for its lucrative pandered to deposits italy's top oil company any has already moved its workers back into libya britain's b.p. is said to be in private talks with the interim government for a travel to tall did noise reports that france was promised a food of the country's forced reserves by rebels teligent pay france's foreign minister calls it a. call to favor those who broke the winning side. against gadhafi is not even over already appear to be fighting for the resources he wants controlled by truly

this war with this activism. it was a war of frost against italy. ownership of libya's oil say experts key to control of a country libya is a very unusual economy. depended entirely on the oil production and the money coming from oil shale oil is so crucial some libyans call for rooms. on the six patients which they say they will challenge that people will not accept. occupation he was speaking to them instruction the spruit to give the north africans and europeans who opposed the takeover of libya's missiles says that these people are denouncing what they're calling the looting of libya they say nato states stealing the country's oil under the pretext of helping its civilians libyan politicians say they should of their most important assets libya is a population and we have we have their eye for some of the terminations we don't

want. them in our future but analysts say rebels are set on blue boarding states whose balding helped them to power then you will shortie. libya's new leadership claims rebel forces will lay siege to private api strongholds until they surrender all school in the next week the national transitional council is moving to the capital from its base in bengal if they cannot get happy remains at large but the atmosphere across the country of ten people were keen as to give up arms fearing for their nice and meeting wants to release billions of dollars of the former leaders frozen assets for rebuilding the stricken state but the rebels say china is trying to block them they have some analysts watching the situation say the alliance is everything off perfect. they carried out over twenty thousand sorties or possibly seventy five hundred air strikes against a country of six million people that has virtually no air defense and a very minute and very limited military the first capability so this is clearly

not a war on the part of the libyan people against the government but a war on the part of middle earth or part to really explore the resources in libya they had a meeting to discuss the future of libya in paris this meeting did not take place in africa it did not take place in libya it took place in europe and this is nothing but an attempt to colonize north africa and they're beginning with libya which has the most lucrative oil resources in africa and had a higher standard of living in africa so this is clearly an act of forced removal and definitely regime change. so to get out for off also spoke the nato's and then saw the french shield in europe which the u.s. is actively developing the russian foreign minister says there's no indication of washington's willingness to cooperate with moscow on the issue or the kremlin wants to create a joint missile defense system but the offer is been met with a lukewarm response from nato on friday turkey agreed to host

a radar for the western chill option the system could threaten its security but russell claims it's aimed against so-called rogue states moscow's requests for written guarantees have so far been brushed off by the alliance. and while the u.s. remains reluctant to cooperate russia is working to make sure its only nuclear arsenal is in top shape it's exactly test fired an upgraded version of its top all ballistic missile on saturday with that some range of ten thousand kilometers it's capable of evading advanced missile defense systems the mobile weapons being modernized to make it even were difficult to detect which military officials say isn't in direct response to washington's plans in europe. ok still ahead for you this hour the pressure to push aside palestinian statehood america plans to block the road to recognition of the upcoming u.n. vote on giving a voice talking pipe palestinian territories. ukraine

struggling to pay its gas bill to moscow but is ruling out emerging it's nationalized energy with russia's gazprom to try and lower costs president medvedev says he has proposed on the issues are not concrete and the current deal can't be revised unilaterally previous to its left in europe in the cold after transit supplies were cut as of those reports ukraine's not busy looking for ways to go it alone. when the two thousand and nine disruption to european gas supply sparked when ukraine blocked transit of russian gas ended the continent gave a collective sigh of relief but the issue has remained a thorn in the side for a key it is pushing hard for a discount from the current market price of four hundred us dollars four thousand cubic meters. we need ourselves clear if we want cheaper gas and integrate into a common economic space if they don't want that can give us

a good commercial offer like selling their gas transportation systems us we don't want any of those only discounts however it seems key of is already looking for an alternative escape route it has signed an eight hundred million dollar contract with royal dutch shell to explore its reserves of shale gas that experts warn about the danger to public health of the border chill gases extracted by hydro fracking that means special chemicals around into 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 that water laced with chemicals ends up in drinking water so shale gas development poses serious threat to the environment and health that apart from being seen as unsafe it is also described by many as too expensive and can hardly replace natural gas when we're watching the situation and we think that local it's very viable but it will remain

a local gas supply it's impossible to extract gas at a loss for long and if you look at the shale gas suppliers right now you'll see that most of them are losing money experts say shale gas reserves ukraine may be the biggest to europe but it may take up to a decade to develop them nevertheless graeme's next year it wants less russian gas slashing the amount of plants to buy by more than a third a move that violates the two thousand and nine deal and could see europe's energy supplies once again on shaky ground another tassel over gas prices between here and north call left 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 alexy recess. we all see reporting from kiev in ukraine. but also now at what's being updated for us dot com today also online the wall where he

on. american or make is a considering of changing the u.n. funding rules to effectively cut off the cash for any program supporting the palestinian bid for statehood the trawls legislation says palestinian attempts to boost its voice on the international stage along the line against stations with israel a human rights journalist says the focus should be on a global sanctions against israel to kick start the peace process. but in order for peace to be achieved you have you have to have israel either concede that peace would have to be achieved or israel to be arraigned in as any other vulgar occupier

of another country to listen in to commission or a recognition of a palestinian state and the un is not going to reign in israel as of yet i think it's a step it's a crucial step and it depends on two major factors how will this international support translate in terms of action in the future and b. will the palestinian authority will the palestinian leadership have the backbone have the have the courage to use that as a platform to acquire further international support to call for sanctions against israel to punish israel for the harm they have been doing to the palestinians or will it come will succumb to american pressures again because of the issue of funding we all know that the palestinian authority gets much of its money from from the united states and their allies will that money it should prove again a factor in. preventing the palestinian authority from taking further

steps to isolate israel internationally and and sort of the brink palestinian rights to the fore of the international community. now turkey has said that military ties with israel perth easing to apologize for killing nine tackles activists in last year's garden patella raid. expelled ambassador while the former head of the israeli diplomatic mission to turkey told r.t. that the real threat to israel and the natives reach him. is well and is lost its closest friend in the region in the last two decades which is a strong diplomatic political blow also a strategic blow because the the army's used to train together i think in addition on top of the damage to the bilateral relations we have to see if there will be a spillover to egypt in jordan i think this is the olympics we tickle issue if the

question is about these were only politicians the only thing they can do in the near future is improving their relations with the palestinians sitting again and trying to reach an agreement i think the issue of the israeli palestinian relations will be the critical issue also regarding their relations with turkey i don't think that by literally something could be done now i don't think it's too late to apologize so i think by literally very little could be done things have to move regionally u.s. markets have taken a nosedive this is a very new recession grow they were fueled by the worst jobs reports any year which showed employers of invention stop hiring more transcatheter valve financing and is washington under the impression that regular americans simply don't deserve

a playgrounds. we know that the washington is talking about more austerity measures the same kind of voice measures that are rocking through europe as well what does that mean it means more cutbacks so at a time when the economy is already slowing down they created zero jobs which is just perfect for washington because they bad zero on just about everything that's thrown at the war on drugs wars in afghanistan and wars on education you name it they what they do zero so what it shows us is that at a time when things are slowing down it's going to be calm much worse all of these. lists all of the old promise. waited till money go it's too big to fail so the money went all to the too big and the rest of the people the

too small to say the gap between the rich in the poor is the widest in the united states than any of the industrialized nations and it's the same trend that's going on worldwide. i want to barack is decade long war on terror is just one of the drains on the country's economy costing trillions of dollars and thousands of lives they said we'll see whether it was really a price worth paying. for the war actually and so i think more to is it that it's that's my opinion but that's the european opinion so to speak as you know the europeans say i'm not as aggressive in the war against terrorism as the americans. while writing me all the epicenter often on eleven tragedy to find out whether people that feel safe.

on. the worldwide manhunt for him lasted for fifteen years. now one million euro award was promised for his counter. political mass murder for the west . the national hero for many members of congress. general of the serbian army. the mileage. limit. on archie. i got out of the military in ninety six and six back that up because the sings a song other things i was doing and this is the reason step we were given for doing it was a personal protests. during the vietnam war and it's in war movement emerge that altered the course of history this movement didn't take place on college campuses

but in barracks and on ships penetrated elite military colleges like west point and it spread throughout the battlefields of vietnam. today few people know about the g.i. movement against the war in vietnam to. ask the army and we always said free the army or fun travel and adventure but it really meant. the. discovery.

of the sky above the russian town of beslan turned white today as hundreds of billions were released in memory of the victims of the country's deadliest terrorist attack a three hundred people died when a group of terrorists held around a powers and people hostage in a school for three days without food or water and seven years ago the course of our reports from the republic of the north is that here. today is the third day of mourning here in the smallest such an town of bassline where hundreds of people from across the republic of north ossetia are coming to pay their last respects towards the victims of the siege their memorial service took place first at the ruins of the school number one where the hostages were held and then here at the cemetery for the victims which is called the city of angels the names of the victims and their worth three hundred thirty one people who were killed during the siege were read to the sounds of the ticking clock and during this time and it took

more than twenty five minutes to reach all the names people have remained silent as the ruins of the school as one zero five moscow time exactly the time when first explosions at the school's gym ring as church bells ring twice followed by a minute of silence and during this minutes most of the women started to cry and there was one woman she was standing very close to was and she started calling for her son and she was calling so loud that it was a terrifying moment for many who gathered that the vast long tragedy destroyed lives of hundreds over here in the north society here and so seven years have passed the pain still remains. if you have struggles of the world headlines this hour a brief now of the taliban says holding the pakistani boys who were kidnapped mistakenly crossing the afghan border the boys aged between twelve and eighteen were visiting

and celebrate the move the better when they were seized some managed to escape local authorities both sides face a challenge in securing the almost two and a half thousand kilometer boundary. of the refugees are fleeing down and you know i'll state after violence flared up near the disputed border it's the outbreak of fighting since south of. independent in july a state of emergency was declared the region on friday after clashes broke out between armed forces under rebel group the decades long war for self dependence has claimed thousands of lives. clashes in central somalia have taken the lives of thirty people and injured one hundred heavy artillery fighting happening that aggressive town divided between two a neighboring region that is thought to be between it to rival clans but reports

say a group linked to islamic radicals also took part in the violence in residential areas somalia is also facing a worsening drought catastrophe with deaths rising and disease spreading rapidly. twenty one people are feared dead after a chilean military jet went down in the pacific ocean one body has already been found of the water the plane made two attempts to land before disappearing from radar among those on board were the chilean t.v. crew including one of the country's most famous presenters a search is under way for both the plane and the victims. david petraeus is retired from the u.s. military after years of commanding the wars in iraq and afghanistan he takes over the cia next week and wants to keep a handle the money saying that any military budget cuts are the facts wrong and reversible gains made by the armed forces but artie's military contribution things it's about time the pentagon cut its cloth. and during his farewell address the

fourth mayors and general petraeus touched upon several very significant things first to general caution against repeating american mistake after vietnam war and to prevent holding the u.s. army also cautioned to keep counting insurgency doctoring alive and if you call for maintaining the full spectrum operation capabilities for the united states forces the real danger for the parents or get in the twenty first century is not that divides it lightly to hollow that army but the army itself is growing more and more irrelevant and become eventual challengers at least for the united states for two reasons first due to the symmetrical nature of the current and all the horizon challenges there and secondly that it is more exception then as

a rule but really the american g. i's being the most expensive soldier in the world it is the united states that has to be its last more than anything else regarding the pentagon. when in just a week america will mark a decade suffering it's worth terrorism on home soil and nine eleven it lit the touch paper for war on terror the u.s. invaded iraq. and killing of a thumb up and knocking but it's gone to new york remain a half and i thought that they thought that they'd weld into anything. this so-called war on terror that launched after the tragic nine eleven attacks on the us has cost hundreds of thousands of lives and trillions of dollars by some estimates so ten years later has the effort been worth it this week let's talk

about that i think it's. i think that i believe that yes is it trillions of dollars say first. of all i can say that i don't know the war actually and started more terror but it's that's my opinion but that's a european opinion so to speak as you know the europeans they are not as aggressive in the war against terrorism as the americans so both america and the u.k. anybody is involved just just back off. the that's the heart you know because if you do you were a big one. and you don't want to let the terrorists win so it's just it's not easy to come up with the right answer if anybody wants to you know it's a cause trouble or to or to provoke some kind of attack they can do so with or without a war though would you categorize the war on terror as a failure. as a necessary do you think the world a safer because of it i don't know i think that we have been out of court waiting

for to get him more than three hours and i think that maybe is excessive but i don't know so do you think that we're giving up too much liberty in the world in the name of security i think that this is a dangerous very close we have to give more liberties and it's in the world become safer or maybe we can get them back you're ok with giving them up for a while i think so we should probably stop using the word for starters and the war on terror is that is in a phrase just it's just a stupid phrase and was coined for political reasons i think we should should stop using bad and just just do what needs to be done whether or not you think it's going. worth that effort the bottom line is the war on terror has been bloody and costly and we still have yet to see any clear plan for it that it's. ok i'll be back with the headlines all social president got away.
