syria lover of criticized what is described one sided sanctions against syria including imposing embargo 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 matters against president. putin's all right john protests that russia's fears concerning sanctions against syria are justified as many believe that sanctions are the first step to repeat e.b.'s disastrous scenario in syria russia calls for more corporation rather than military action and today sergei lavrov in particular said that moscow sent an official invitation to representatives of the libyan national transitional council to come to russia to discuss potential energy projects and leave but as artist daniel bushell reports not everyone is eager to cooperate or even share with leave lining up for its

lucrative energy deposits italy's top oil company and he has already moved its workers back into libya britain's b.p. is said to be in private talks with the interim government for in trouble to toll did noise reports that france was promised a food of the country's forced reserves by rebels but telegenic pay france's foreign minister calls it a. call to favor those who the winning soit who are against gadhafi is not even over but already appear to be fighting for the resources he wants controlled by actually this war with this activism of. it was a wall of frost against italy. ownership of libya's oil say experts is key to control of the country libya's a very unusual economy. depended it depends entirely on all production and the money coming from oil shale oil is so crucial some libyans coolth.

occupation which the challenge that of people will not accept. he was speaking at a demonstration of the north africans and europeans who oppose the takeover of libya's resources these people have denouncing what they're calling the looting of libya they say no to. the country's oil under the pretext of helping its civilians libyan politicians. most important as it libya is a population we have we have that i for some of determination we don't want. our future rebels as. the power. so you can evolve also spoke out over nato as missile defense 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 the kremlin wants to

create a joint missile defense system but the offers been met with a lukewarm response from nato on friday turkey agreed to host a radar for the west and shield russia feels the system could threaten its security but brussels claims it's aimed against so-called rogue states moscow's requests for written guarantees of so far been brushed off by the airlines. and while the u.s. remains were not going to cooperate russia is working to make sure its own nuclear arsenal is in top shape it successfully test fired an upgraded version of his toppled ballistic missile on saturday with a maximum range of ten thousand kilometers it's capable of invading advanced missile defense systems and mobile weapons being modernized to make it even more difficult to detect which military officials say is in direct response to washington's plans for europe. is r.t. can we live from moscow still ahead this hour the pressure to push aside palestinian statehood. america plans to block the road to recognition in the upcoming u.n. vote on giving a voice to. occupied palestinian territories. that's still to come but

first ukraine struggling to pay its gas bill to moscow but is rooting out merging its nationalized energy firm with russia's gazprom to try and lower costs present even if says kiev's proposals on the issue are not concrete and the current deal can't be revised you know that previous disputes left europe in the cold after transit supplies were cut as it actually had to shift gears now reports ukraine is busy looking for ways to go it alone when the two thousand and nine disruption to european gas supplies 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 key it is pushing hard for a discount from the current market price of four hundred us dollars four thousand cubic meters. we made ourselves clear if they want cheaper gas can integrate with us into a common economic space if they don't want that can give us

a good commercial offer like selling their gas transportation system to us they don't want any of those only discounts however it seems kiev is already looking for an alternative the scape route it has signed an eight hundred million dollar contract with royal dutch shell to explore its reserves of shale gas but experts warn about the danger to public health that with the boy just chill gas is 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 water laced with chemicals ends up in drinking water so shale gas development poses a serious threat to the environment and health apart from being seen as unsafe it is also described by many as too expensive and can hardly replace natural gas. we're watching the situation withing that locally 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 she'll get suppliers right now you'll see that most of them are losing money experts say shale gas reserves ukraine may be the biggest in europe but it may take up to a decade to develop them never the last key of claims next year it wants less russian gas slashing the amount it plans 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 tussle over gas price between kiev and moscow 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. r.t. reporting from kiev in ukraine. hundreds of thousands of israelis are gathering for

what is thought to be the country's biggest rally now we're bringing you live pictures from central tel aviv where demonstrators are marking the climax of a summer long movement of discontent those protests spread nationwide sparking the government's most serious domestic crisis they initially targeted soaring housing prices but quickly evolved into outrage against a wide range of economic issues with activists demanding prime minister netanyahu steps down as i say we're bringing you live pictures there from tel aviv. one of our top stories this hour human rights watch claims it's discovered thousands of documents in libya that suggest intimate cooperation between gadhafi regime and british and american intelligence is thought much of the data deals with the rendition of suspects to libya for interrogation well let's talk more on this with each of these activists she's joining us live there from italy thanks so much for being with us here and why have these same countries that enjoyed close ties

with gadhafi in the past and now turned against him. i think it is usually only kicks of my western powers i mean they played a game. better or the better for them we cannot forget that the biggest american enemy or. the no ladder was on the beginning their best friend. a war against the soviet union in no galleys diana and yes of course a real even eataly. and not libya under siege of it because. the. means to go against the terrorist groups not so i think they are there to they can control these islamic groups or who are very much inside that this year and cheat

they can come to. the fact that they gave military support. they gave them the money and everything. western powers. to be shared to do or die we don't let me groups and also racist to group sure you know do have abetted the useful or because not a government didn't want to deal. western powers so all right let's let's imagine speculate here that the rebels in t.c. don't fulfill the expectations of the western countries indeed nato do you think actually we could see nato putting pressure on the rebels themselves. sure nato will put pressure on the rebels because that mean they out of so dependent on

the neato and western powers so that uniquely they we could play sure they were. we learned tonight in the end of the we not give enough for by any of these and these and. the only thing is that i don't know about today's longest groups hour long day band day they can be controlled better as we saw in afghanistan and the early days those islamic fighters that can a future very well are we western powers and with america the day our dear lady has led sorry to interrupt we've got quite a few areas i'd like to talk to about this talk about the oil issue here another new libyan leadership has announced two oil fields should restart production by next week with five foreign companies already working there now of course libya's future relies on getting that industry in full swing again surely it has to have external help here does it not i mean as it did before of course there are international comp companies operating there before the revolution so it needs that

help to continue doesn't it. yes yes and look at how did it in quick change of equals are now. very much of the n.t. they can have a much better deal and that there may be there will be some of hiking so between the western powers because are now under me new delhi and huge peter. is always in favor of it you tell young warse. there saved that eagerly didn't do enough in this war and now the french need the will grow more so they really deserve better the dirty dirty game for you so many working arms need to committed for this libyan oil and i have to think if the game is not all of it. which are under siege and i care a serious there. are others and i really are going to share and to china well

the power to stop in each other to stop doing war so that will change little just quickly ask you i mean there's so much criticism about this west. interesting involvement in the reserves of course libya has its own national all corporation so it does have control over its own oil reserves and surely this is much needed revenue from the oil production to go back into the country in the past of course that revenue didn't go back to the people to the libyans because it went into going after his own hands to his regime so isn't it surely necessary to get those revenues that taxation from the oil to get the country up and running and the people will benefit from it. and you should. leave even you didn't go to people i have been to. and i saw that they would also tell us of they had the good house they have. like other countries don't have and also a lot of money was going into adding you're actually going to counter the structure . as we can on the development these will not get any more

because or you see the behavior of those so-called rebels nature. concerning the black people so i don't think that. maybe of course the government everywhere and the government could become a teacher with. the competition resources but in case of libya it is an order by everybody there that oil revenues where you and i don't know if it will happen do you think your future i have many doubts because now. western powers we'll get more royalties that we go who are better. and. you see orders of these. here i don't think if they were to sort of keen at all to ask anita to kill or leave we did go on being just so i wonder how they can really you were discount. let's talk about the immediate future now media report

suggesting that gadhafi sons of mercenaries are leaving the country obviously gadhafi is still not caught still threatening guerrilla warfare but the fact that his sons and these muslims are leaving do you think that could actually guarantee an end to the violence in the country or does it all depend on the death of being court now. i think that this hunk of man. and the radio are making peace you know. there are two parties or two groups in this county when we cannot see a doctor or leave the n.t. it is not a not at all to talk to there should be should be a huge five like i think in union and that in america counties have been asking for months that there should be a huge tide and this is all. done negotiator we cannot. negotiate when are the syrian peace behaving like the data they see you know you are we does

or you cannot exist in libya so these are not black and these are men. and i you are just russia and china of the world because they got a branding and they are killing people there and their security council can stop at least and this will change of the war because a need of who will not be able to do and i'm going to worry if this were to stop. who's responsible responsibility shouldn't be now in effect nato has done its job but there are of course talks of nato continuing after its mandate ends this month but do you think that maybe the united nations or indeed the african union should be playing a part in the future security and stability of the country after all the libyans the m.t.c. are saying they're probably need help to do that. you know. c m p's today don't want to un to walk so because they are the only it is not at the ends of the media

and people thought they wanted the needle brought about to do you don't want un in my opinion are on the. make of peace and their day should be of yearly ice but as these. tanker russian need to be sort of looking at it through i don't mean to talk about the. notes or the look at the killer really it is an appeal of the art of doing it to countless later russia and china and other powers we're trying to. stop. these away your lying again and you swear you're catching we'd laugh ice and we divorced and we thought there should be achieved. people out of dying down there should be. negotiations like as you can you know have been asking a lot of time why the security council is not meeting urgently. need to. talk can't be stopped they have to be stopped and the other western cities and seeing

the action ok ok thanks very much man i will have to leave you that sorry to cut you off but we've had quite a good conversation we're running out of time now but great to hear what you have to say manner. joining us there live in italy thanks for time thank you very much made by. well let's look now what's being updated for you on our website at www dot com you can of course watch that interview once again if you want to you can log on and see that. as they whistle blower takes a hit from some of the world's biggest newspapers publishing an edited cables. and you can check out our gallery of moscow's massive annual military took to win the iconic red square where dozens of russian and foreign performers have been giving it their all it's dot com along with all our news and video reports. american lawmakers are considering changing the un's funding rules to effectively cut off the cash for any program supporting the palestinian bid for statehood the

draft legislation says palestinian attempts to boost its voice on the international stage will undermine the goshi asians with israel but human rights journalist says the focus should be on global sanctions against israel to kick start the peace process. in order for peace to be achieved you have to you have to have israel either concede that peace would have to be achieved or israel to be arraigned in as any other vulgar okupe buyer of another country shape palestinian decommission or a recognition of a palestinian state and 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 a 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 with it 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 is should prove again a factor in. preventing the palestinian authority from taking further steps to isolate israel internationally and to and further bring palestinian rights to the fore of the international community. america's decade long war on terror is just one of the drains on the country's economy costing trillions of dollars and thousands of lives later we ask whether it was really a price worth paying. for the war actually. that's my opinion but that's the european opinion so to speak as you know the

europeans are not as aggressive in the war against terrorism as the americans. were in new york the epicenter of the nine eleven tragedy to find out whether people there really do feel safe. the sky above the russian town of beslan turned white today as hundreds of balloons were released a member of the victims of the country's deadliest terrorist attack over three hundred thirty people died when a group of terrorists held around a thousand people hostage in a school for three days without food or water seven years ago. reports from the republic of north of santa. today is the third day of mourning here in the smallest such an town of beslan where hundreds of people from across the republic of north the south asia are coming to pay their last respects towards the victims of the siege their memorial services took place first at the ruins of the school number one where the hostages were held and then hand at the cemetery for the victims which is called the city of angels the names of the victims who were killed during

the siege were read out to the sound of the ticking clock and during this time and it took more than twenty five minutes to read all the names people remained silent as the ruins of the school at one o five pm moscow time that's exactly the time when first explosions at the school's gym rang out 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 telling very close to us 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 tragedy destroyed lives of hundreds over here in the north society here and seven years have passed the pain still remains. now to some other of the world's news making headlines this hour in our world update the taliban says it's holding thirty

pakistani boys who were kidnapped after mistakenly crossing the afghan border the boys aged between twelve and eighteen were visiting a nature spot to celebrate the muslim festival of the when they were seized some managed to escape and alert local authorities both sides face a challenge in securing the almost two and a half thousand kilometer boundary. in south sudan thousands of refugees are fleeing the disputed border region after violence flared up it's the third outbreak of fighting since the country became independent in july a state of emergency was declared in the region on friday after clashes broke out between armed forces and a rebel group the decades long war for south sudan's independence has claimed thousands of lives. police in germany used water cannon and battens against left wing extremists who were violently protesting over an annual near nazi march in dortmund these one officer was seriously injured as leftist protesters attacked police by hurling stones and bottles presentations between a far right marchers and counter protesters happen regularly in germany. and

a fast moving wildfire has broken out in a major interstate highway between southern california last vegas in the us a busy freeway was temporarily closed as the flames scorched the desert bush traffic queue for several kilometers as people try to head out of town for labor day weekend. in just over a week america will mark a decade since suffering its worst terrorism on home soil nine eleven that the touchpaper for a war on terror that saw the u.s. invade iraq and afghanistan and eventually led to the killing of osama bin laden but the scars in new york remain very often it stops people there when they feel today's world is any safer. the 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 more secure now i think that i believe that yes is it trillions of dollars safer. i can say that i don't know the war actually inside of more terror than it's that's my opinion but that's the 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 the u.k. anybody is involved in it just just back off. the bat so hard you know because if you do back away they've won 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 to cause trouble or to or to provoke some kind of attack they can do so with or without a war so would you categorize the war on terror as a failure. as a necessary do you think the world the safer because of it i don't know i think

that we have been out of offending the 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 yes if the danger is very close we have to give more liberties and if the world becomes safer maybe we can get them back you're ok with giving them up for a while yeah i think so we should probably stop using the word for starters and the war on terror stop using the phrase just it's just 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 been . worth the 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 than. that to bring it up to date for the moment twenty seven minutes past the hour hand

recap of our top stories with me in just a few moments stay with us live here in moscow. move.
