volunteer i dream hands at work is maria for national reports. is a libyan rebel he got a bullet in his ankle fighting against gadhafi soldiers in tripoli but with a shot coming from his own side which. i didn't even notice until my friend told me that my food was bleeding he pulled the trigger by mistake it was himself. this is a reality of today's libya for when the rubble stray off and from the country tons of conduct is captured weapons have fallen into the hands of nonprofessional fighters one of the biggest stories was discovered at the abu slim top security prison in southern tripoli where inmates were released after nato bombed the area of the do with the father of three young boys refuses to appear on camera still fear of revenge from khadafi loyalists he was among the first at the scene i helped

destroy the arsenal. i don't want we're going to get all into the hands of my songs or the roosters i'm concerned with our country will be going with drugs this is a very dangerous thing it's not a toy but with the country it was without arms it looks like leavin kids have already developed a fascination for the weapons of war but. when i go out i have a real line and will feel bad guys like gadhafi then your thought is you save of giving up weapons through mosques i hope police are back on the streets the young gunman demonstrate their readiness to. give it back to them as soon as they ask the system which many here are afraid that this addiction may have a painful withdrawal and the gun has become one of the symbols of the libyan rebels and freedom for a new country though people want more peaceful symbols of fear it will be easy for many to lay down their arms when the guard has played such a prominent role throughout libya's volatile history original r.t.

people in libya this week moscow recognized libya's national transitional council as a country's legitimate governing authority the russian foreign minister said he never wanted khadafi to stay but that he opposed nato as means of removing him saying principles of international law have been ignored. russia has never approved of the former libyan regime back in may president medvedev clearly stated that could happen should go the way the united nations resolutions were implemented by some nato members and other states and that the principle of the supremacy of law was being disregarded the african union and u.n. initiatives were ignored leading to an increase in civilian casualties however it was the protection of the civilian population that was seen as the major objective of the security council resolutions implemented by nato. we absolutely sure that

justice cannot be done using a move from. steaming around a front page magazine believes the fighting will go on in libya for some time to come even if the country's former leader is kept carrot i think even if they do find a daffy this is only the first page of a multi-stage war in libya now the try to going to fight each other over the oil revenues are dishonest are fighting this the. national transitional council they already assassinated the head of the military i think that has the beginning of the problems this is really a tribal fight these tribes can be rented or not but this can go back and forth and who knows how long it will go on nato is in there like i've written my columns this is really a war book controlling libyan oil supplies they went to war against gadhafi because they thought they were going to cut out of future exploration deals and favor china and india so we had to be replaced now they'll tolerate a transnational council of nato as long as they can get the contracts that they

want that they're worth billions and billions of dollars but if a transnational council starts getting a problem there will be more warfare to get rid of these people. are you watching r t coming to you live from moscow and here's what's still ahead for you in the program national war crimes tribunal turns through our teeth for a copy of an interview with genocide suspect right to live each word you made serious accusations against them peacekeepers in the ninety's balkans conflict. and officials in washington have squandered sixty billion dollars in iraq and afghanistan senator ford says the money was lost in waste and fraud. russia has condemn their latest e.u. sanctions against syria banning imports of its oil sanctions piled more pressure on president bashar asad the regime according to the u.s. and around two thousand two hundred people have died in syria during a government crackdown against opposition protests since march human rights group

amnesty international claims over eighty have been tortured to death in prison but some including the syrian government say the media is twisting their reality as a really good wish come now reports. mass murder tarion catastrophe a country on the brink of a revolution this is what you see every time syria pops up in the headlines but what is really happening in a country where hardly any foreign journalists are present there's even been the implication that some of the images we're being shown have been digitally manipulated and there have been reports available online that you can watch of the footage that was taken in bahrain and been said to be taken in hama and it's showing the same footage and on different stations with different backgrounds digitally dragoon so there are some very strange things that are going on right now an example of such manipulation is the case of palestinian refugees in the coastal city of latakia the stadium in the dark it became the center of the controversy when according to various reports anywhere from several hundred to several thousand people were gathered here most of those people were palestinian refugees who came

from the palestinian refugee camp in the sunni quarter of latakia now according to the opposition forces and to some of the palestinians when they got to the stadium their ideas were taken away their cell phones were also taken away and they really prepared for the worst because you have to realize that herding large numbers of people into stadiums carries them with other very macabre macabre association especially in this particular region so the ankle sprain has developed sort of a practice of hurting people in the stadiums and then and then committing mass executions we went to the part of the city which supposedly came under fire from warplanes only ships and spoke to the refugees to find out what happened. some people walking around the neighborhood yelling there will be shelling from sea soon everyone has to get out i didn't go anywhere just stayed in my house they can see the bay from my window and there was nothing in there aside from the usual patrol

boats still gunfire did break out between the army and unknown gunmen so some five thousand palestinians left their homes fearing for their lives. we wanted to leave so that our kids wouldn't hear the gunshots we hid in our house and when there was a break in the fighting we went to the stadium we stayed there for three days then came back on the ground and so did two thousand refugees only to realize there was no air and navy attack taking place on the city. we felt like we were lied to. the syrian authorities have long been insisting armed groups are behind the unrest in syria and it's them who starts shooting first during demonstrations prompting bloodshed those statements are all but ignored by the media. and syria is fighting and media war and it's losing it. the syrian government might have realized its mistake of banishing foreign journalists from the country and the media law has

overturned that but there is no guarantee it will go a long way towards achieving serious image as portrayed on major networks in those court t.v. syria. they have actual communities urging president asad to stop the bloodshed and step down but political scientists dr knot harshly says she doesn't believe arsenal will resign and even if it does it would only bring more serious problems. president assad will never step down that's one thing let's not forget him that's remind all the worse than all the surrounding arab countries that's going against him right now he will never step down this is a dream that will never come true victorian violence for sure if that's if that will happen which you will never do we're going to see a turmoil not only in syria we're going to see and all the surrounding countries lebanon jordan sooty cut out all the gulf areas everything it's going to turn upside down so again i'm saying this is playing with deeds fire so they have to

think twice about what's going to happen but the thing is they're not thinking right see the worst this is not their first mistake this is their their. the hundreds mistake that they have been doing so far what they did in libya russia will never ever allowed to happen in syria. the rift over a gas prices between ukraine and russia could end up in the courts here has been trying to negotiate a discount on the price of pays for the fuel but moscow says it's ready to stand its ground in front of any international body as i was here to ask you reports he was now desperately trying to reduce its energy dependence on its neighbor when the two thousand and nine disruption to european suppliers storch when ukraine looked transit of russian gas and to the continent gave a collective sigh of relief but the issue has remained

a thorn in the side for kiev is pushing hard for a discount from the current market price of four hundred us dollars four thousand cubic meters. we need arsenals clear if they want cheaper gas and integrate with us into a common economic space if they don't come out and give us a good commercial offer like selling their gas transportation system to us please don't want any of those only discounts however it seems clear that is already looking for an alternative the state route it has signed an eight hundred million dollar contract with wild dutch shell to explore its reserves of shale gas that experts warn about the danger to public health workers 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 that water laced with chemicals ends up in drinking water so

shell gas development pose the 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. i think 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 in the last alone 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 to europe but it may take up to exactly eight to develop them over the last key of claims next year it wants less worsham gas slashing the amount of plants to buy by more than a third and that violates the deal and could see europe's energy supplies once again on shaky ground another thoughtful over gas price between here 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 risky r.t. reporting from kiev in ukraine. hundreds of thousands of israelis have taken part in the largest of a series of protests that have rocked the country for months the demonstrators are angry at the high cost of living and want the government to revamp its social policies are these policy years following what appears to be the largest anti-government rally in the nation's history. it is the climax of nearly two months of social protests here in israel the launches that was country has ever seen now for weeks organizers have been touting the million man march they were really hoping that a million people would turn out on the streets of israel though we're hearing figures of some three hundred and fifty thousand that's three hundred fifty thousand in ten cities where here in tel aviv is the main focal point various speakers as well as artists have been addressing the crowd the rallying call

remains that of social justice with people here demanding that the netanyahu government change its focus away from issues of security to issues of social justice that people here say that it is simply too expensive to live in israel. and yet instead of concentrating on domestic problems israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu has been focused on the international stage on september the twenty eighth palestinians will go to the united nations to declare a state and it in yahoo has responded by arming sitters and trying to convince countries not to support the palestinian move instead of listening to the disc on children messes at home. now one of the new surrogates we're hearing is where were you the pain but that is a throwback to november the fourth nine hundred ninety five when the former israeli prime minister yitzhak been ever been was assassinated people say where you've been so of course people here are saying where are you now with people really wanting to come to the streets and make a change and make their voices heard this is the last social protest that is being

planned for some time although the vibe here is quite hyped up there no doubt is some disappointment that beat million man march was not reached. israel is also facing a rift in the global stage as turkey prepares to challenge its blockade of gaza and international court of justice becomes a mere dramatic slump in relations ankara expelled israel's ambassador and severed all military ties over its refusal to apologize for last may's gaza patil rate on friday the u.n. investigation published a record into the attack. killed nine turkish activists it found that israeli commandos used excessive force when boarding the ship but also concluded a blockade of gaza is legal turkey has however pointed out that their findings are not binding and it's the hague that should rule on the matter israel insists it act in self-defense dr allawi or the former head of the israeli diplomatic mission to ankara says israel has to make peace with the palestinians before turkey becomes

a friend again. his word 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 army's used to train together i think in addition on top of the damage to the by local relations we have to see if there will be a spillover to egypt in jordan i think this is the critical issue if the question is about these were only politicians the only thing they can do in the 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 the literally something could be done no 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. our web site r t dot com never runs dry of interesting stories and videos but here's what we've got if you at the moment the former policeman charged with murder of a prominent russian journalist anna politkovskaya weaves guilty and agrees to cooperate with investigators in revealing new details about the complicated case. also why americans are no longer a majority of the country with a rise in the hispanic black and asian population in a number of big cities all of this and much more at our t.v. . grief and sorrow could be seen all across the north caucasus town of beslan this week as a mark the anniversary of russia's deadliest terrorist attack hundreds gathered at a school in the center of town were a group of extremists to ground a thousand people hostage seven years ago visitors were laying flowers and lighting

candles remembering over three hundred thirty victims of the three day siege more than half of those killed in these salt were children who were deal began in september first and the latest and last read of for fifty one hours and fifteen minutes the exact time of the mourning period that has been held annually ever since the last day of the commemorations why balloons were released into the skies one for every victim. in a rare move the u.s. courts turned to r.t. this week for assistance in the trial of dr who lived a former bosnian serb general accused of genocide in the ninety's balkans war a war crimes tribunal asked for a copy of a unique interview aired by r.t. in which law to make serious allegations against un peacekeepers during a conflict and as unease in our reports the hague my avel relooked an important piece of evidence in the case. well it was an archive never before seen video

footage of that interview before our t. published it summit 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 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 u.n. was smuggling weapons into demilitarize 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 this this story well 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 malott inches 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 in the bosnian archives to very surprising that this video footage which could certainly be a very important moment and very important material in the trial dismissed by the tribe you know and it's eighteen years of existence the tribunal has faced harsh criticism about it being biased its 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 tribe you know missed what could be very important evidence and part of the fact the reason i should say and what these critics base their facts song 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 non 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 latest if you will missing of evidence by the tribunals is not going to help in criticism that the hague is in fact bias. but he's now reporting there it's italy is facing grave warnings over the state of its finances the european central bank says it needs to stick to its forty five billion euro stary plan if it wants to avoid collapse key measures have so far failed to pass through parliament and the e.c.b. could stop buying up government bonds to put pressure on rome financial journalist van overtveldt says it's the entire eurozone system that is flawed. we at the moment have a monetary union here in europe that has really very important structural handicaps

and buteux handicaps we have and i was situation that has become a full blown crisis that is threatening. the further existence of this euro zone and don't have the conditions met to have a structurally healthy monetary union and unless we do something about that we will have one crisis country after another and there is so much political capital invested in this project that it's very hard if not to say impossible for the politicians who are at the moment running this european council to give give up on the idea of a monetary union so it's a question of politics if you look at it from the economic point of view we have a little situation that is a lot more doubtful than the politicians like to admit the end of the euro if we go down that road it's still not sure what the chances are increasing day by day in my

analysis it will be germany that as we as we say it will put out the right. you're watching aren't you let's take a look at some other stories from around the world former international monetary fund he's on his left the u.s. to return these native france he had been held under house arrest in new york for six weeks on sex assault charges that were later dropped however the former presidential hopeful faces another allegation of indecent assault from french novelist tristen bernard in paris. all twenty one people on a chilean military plane which went off radar friday afternoon are dead after several attempts to land the plane crashed in the pacific killing all aboard for identified bodies personal belongings and pieces of wreckage have been collected along the coastline of chile's remote one for nine days island the country's president joined a mass to more and victims. cuba's defense minister general who you

casas ridgeway row has died of heart failure but seventy five year old politicians served under raul castro in the rebel army and was an iconic and revolutionary figure for cubans he was also vice president of the council of state he was supreme governing body is death has drawn attention to the aging leaders still running the country. the u.s. has lost around sixty eight billion dollars in waste and fraud in iraq and afghanistan over the past decade the u.s. senate commission into wartime contracting has estimated this week's report claims the money was lost for poor planning a lack of oversight and outright scams by u.s. contractors and federal employees a panel also suggested implementing strict measures to control spending to prevent even more money being wasted in the future and assistant editor at antiwar dot com john glaser says this report is not for the first part of its kind but like

previous findings it's unlikely to stop the pentagon smart ways. this is just one report in a field of many describing. profligate waste in the american empire there's been previous reports about u.s. aid going directly to fund the insurgency that is the taliban who are ostensibly there to be fighting there is a report out done by the center for public integrity that investigates the pentagon's practice of the no bid contracts for defense industry corporations which is ballooned to a one hundred forty billion dollars problem in two thousand and eleven so this kind of waste is just widespread throughout the wars i'm concerned about there not having there not being enough of an effect from these reports the recommendations within the report sort of have the air of usual washington type advice build another bureaucracy to watch over for oversight in this department you know hire an

inspector general so on and so forth i'm concerned that the recommendations of this committee although their analysis of waste is very valuable and concerned that their recommendations won't even take place or if they do they'll be wasteful still . well shortly we follow an inventive filmmaker as he takes on someone marcus biggest supermarkets and that's after a week out of the week's top stories interest payments.
