useless but harmful russia's foreign minister sums up a new set of e.u. sanctions against the syrian regime. hundreds of thousands of relays israelis have gathered for was thought to be the biggest ever antigovernment rally as the natives in the summer of protest against the high cost of living and a ray of economic problems. also ukraine's gas pressure another winter of discontent looms as kiev fails to reach a compromise with moscow over its previously agreed field of.

international news and comment live from my headquarters here in central moscow it's just past midnight here in the russian capital europe's an economic offensive against syria this time targeting oil imports which russia's foreign minister says will be useless in solving the arab countries drawn out conflict so you devolves comments came at a summit of c.i.s. countries where he also spoke about libya's new leadership. over is there. so your love 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 under the european union imposed embargo on all experts from the country and western powers are pushing father majerus against president assad the brutal crackdown on protests that russia's fears concerning sanctions against syria are justified as many

believe that sanctions are the first step to repeat leave years disastrous scenario in syria russia calls for more cooperation rather than military action and today sergei lavrov in particular said i must go send an official invitation to representatives of the levy and national transitional council to come to russia to discuss energy projects and leave this artie's daniel bushell report everyone is eager to cooperate or even share with the line up for its look pretty energetic posits italy's top oil company only 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 tall did noise reports that france was promised a food of the country's forced reserves by rebels telegin pay france's foreign minister calls it a. call to favor those who saw it who are against gadhafi is not even over its allies already appear to be fighting for the resources he wants control

actually this war with this activism of the it was a war 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 the oil production and the money coming from oil shale oil so crucial some libyans call foreign. on the occupation which the sea they will challenge now the people will not accept. occupation he was speaking in suburban st louis brought together the north africans and europeans who opposed the takeover of libya's resources these people are denouncing what they're calling the looting of libya they say nato states this country's oil under the pretext of helping its civilians libyan politicians they should own their most important assets libya is our population and we have we have

the right for some of the terminations we don't want oil companies to our future but analysts say rebels a certain group warding states. help them to power the new bushel r.t. human rights watch claims it's discovered thousands of documents in libya that suggest close cooperation between iraqis regime and british and american intelligence is thought much of the data deals with the rendition of suspects to libya for interrogation but a european peace activist told r.t. that it's not unusual for the west to turn against us and eyes to secure its interests. usually don't think so by western powers have been greatly. but we cannot forget that. the biggest are many can and are. being allowed to enter wars blood beginning. and. war gave the soviet union in their galleries and yes of course what we

even eagerly maybe like not really be underage even got her i think now they told her that they can control. so much inside this they gave them. for. they gave them the money and the english are eating now. western powers. aside there we go. and also racist to group. you no good to have that out of the useless or you because i got a government given people who want to deal. western powers. well we continue to look at the wider problems in the arab world now first syria and i can talk to mom an option he's a parliament member in neighboring jordan thank you very much indeed for being with

us here on r.t. now we're reporting hell russia believes unilateral sanctions by the e.u. would be ineffective against syria but with europe accounting for ninety five percent of the country's oil exports could this actually force president assad's hand have some effect do you think i don't. know about that i thought we did actually make contact just a few seconds ago can you hear me now mahmoud. yes yes it is the sound does not appear now ok let's just try that question here is about let me just ask you again do you think these sanctions that have been proposed by the e.u. will actually have an effect on president assad. excuse me because i don't understand you see because the fed does not believe sure ok i'll tell you what we'll do i think will abandon this interview for the moment and we'll try and

come back to a little bit later many apologies but do stay with us there because we will try and talk to you a little later so don't go away i hope you heard that. well apologies for the lack of communication we did indeed to each other briefly before that but clearly we have got a good communication there. during the c.i.s. summit in tajikistan russia's foreign minister also spoke out over nato has missile defense shield in europe which the u.s. is actively developing so get involved says there's no indication of washington's willingness to cooperate with moscow on the issue of the kremlin wants to create a joint missile defense system but the op has been met with a lukewarm response from nato on friday turkey agreed to host a radar for the western shield and russia feels this system could threaten its security but brussels claims it's aimed against so-called rogue states because requests for written guarantees of so far been brushed off by the alliance. and while the u.s. remains reluctant to cooperate russia is working to make sure its own nuclear

arsenal is in top shape it successfully test fired an upgraded version of its total ballistic missile on saturday with a maximum range of ten thousand kilometers it's capable of aiding advanced missile defense systems and mobile weapons being modernized to make it even more difficult to detect which military official say isn't in direct response to washington's plans for europe. this is r.t. live in moscow still to come when the sky turned white with grief russia marks the painful anniversary of the deaths of over three hundred thirty victims of a terrorist attack on the school seven years ago. and still the country but first hundreds of thousands of israelis have gathered for what is thought to be the country's biggest ever rally and marking the climax of a summer long movement of discontent and protests of the combination of what's become israel's most serious domestic crisis initially targeted soaring house prices but quickly evolved into outrage against a wide range of economic troubles with activist

a man in the prime minister steps down it's not the only issue on the israeli leadership plate right now foreign policy has been dealt a major blow after turkey said with its military ties for refusing to apologize for killing nine turkish activists in last year's gaza flotilla rate the former head of the israeli diplomatic mission to turkey told r.t. that the real threat is for israel to be left isolated in the region. is one as 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 armies used to train together i think in addition on top of the damage to their bilateral relations we have to see if there will be a spillover to egypt and jordan i think this is the moment the critical issue if the question is about these rarely politicians the only thing they can do in the in

the near future is improving their relations with the palestinians sitting again trying to reach an agreement i think the issue of the israeli palestinian relations will be the critical issue also regarding the relations with turkey i both think the lead truly something could be done i don't think it's too late to apologize so i think by lead to only very little could be done things have to move regionally. ukraine is struggling to pay its gas bill to moscow but is ruling out merging its nationalized energy firm with russia's gazprom to try and lower costs present it says his proposals only she are not concrete and the current deal can't be revised unilaterally previous disputes left europe in the cold after transit supplies were cut as alexia's just you know reports ukraine's busy looking for ways to go it alone when the two thousand and nine disruption to european gas supplies sparked

when ukraine blocked friends of the russian gas ended the continent gave a collective sigh of relief but the issue has remained a thorn in the side. it is hard for a discount from the current market price of four hundred dollars four thousand cubic meters we need arsenals clear if he wants cheaper gas can integrate with into a common economic space if you don't want out and give us a good commercial offer like selling our gas transportation system to us they 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 would work to 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 and claim it's a commercial secret that water laced with chemicals ends up in drinking water so shell gas development pose the serious threat to the environment and health care 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 within the local it's very buyable but it will remain a local gas supply it's impossible to extract gas in the last alone and if you look at the shield guess players right now you'll see that most of them are losing money experts say shale gas reserves in ukraine maybe the biggest to europe but it may take up to it jack eight to develop them never the last two years claims next year it wants less russian gas slashing the amount of plants to buy by more than a third and that's violates the rules are the nine deal and could see europe's energy supplies once again on shaky ground another tussle over gas prices between

here and moscow left many worrying 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 risky r.t. reporting from kiev in ukraine. thirteen minutes past the hour here in going to have a quick look at what's being updated for you and all to you don't call notes on web sites online all the time i'm all for wiki leaks as the whistleblower takes a hit from some of the world's biggest newspapers the publishing unedited cables. and also check out our gallery of last year's massive annual military to two which is taking place at the moment in the iconic red square where dozens of russian and foreign armed forces perform a something giving it their own quite a spectacular show it's an hour to you don't call me along with all our news and video reports. and.

a year which showed employers a virtually stopped hiring trend casa gerald celente believes that washington is under the impression that regular americans simply don't deserve a bailout. we know that the that washington is talking about more austerity measures the same kind of voice parity measures that are being 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 war rod drugs wars in afghanistan and wars on education you name it they it's what they do zero so what it shows us is that at a time when things are slowing down it's going to be much worse for all of this.

be a lists all of the promised state militias and bush talks where they put money go it's called too big to fail so the money went all to too big and the rest of the people are too small to say the gap between the rich and the poor is the widest in the united states then any of the industrialized nations and it's the same trend that's going on worldwide. america's decade long war on terror resist one of the drains on the country's economy costing trillions of dollars and thousands of lines later we'll see whether it was really a price worth paying. for the war actually started more thorough as you put it so that's my opinion but that's a european opinion so if the street the europeans that i'm 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 where the people that really do feel safe.

the cia next week and wants to keep a firm hand on the money saying that any military budget cuts will hamper the fragile and reversible gains made by the armed forces but all of these military contributed thinks it's about time the pentagon cut its cloth. it during his farewell address that fourth mayors and general petraeus touched upon several very significant things first the general cautioned against between american mistake after vietnam war and to prevent hollowing the us army also cautioned to keep counting insurgency doctrine alive and called for maintaining the full spectrum operation capabilities for the united states forces there real danger for the panzer get into a twenty first century is not divulge it cuts night that lead to a hollow army but the army itself is growing more and more irrelevant in

vic conventional challenges at least for the united states for two reasons first due to the ass symmetrical nature of the current and all the horizon challenges banned secondly that it is more exception then as a rule but really the american g.i. zte being the most expensive soldier in the world it is the united states has to be a slashed more than anything else regarding the pentagon costs. just over a week america will mark a decades and suffered its worst terrorism on him soil nine eleven the touchpaper fool 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 lawry often it's not people now but they feel today's world is and he said. 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 as 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 started more terror that 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 of both america or the u.k. anybody who's involved in it just just back off. that's a hard to know because if you do back you were a big one. and you don't want to let it's 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 that 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 a safer because of it i don't know i think that we have been out of training day i got waiting for to get in more than three hours and i think i may be a success 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 such a stupid phrase and was coined for political reasons i think we should should stop using vet and just just do what needs to be done whether or not you think it's going. 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 that means.
