just several minutes. and a night of rage in israel hundreds of thousands rally in the nation's biggest protests demanding the authorities turn their attention from security to social justice. and watching hockey coming to live from moscow i'm marina joshie believe it or rattles are closing in on colonel gadhafi as the last major stronghold and hometown of sirte they say time is running out for the former leader neater and his loyalists to agree a peaceful surrender with a deadline set for next weekend could offer use whereabouts is still unknown has released a number of audio messages promising a long guerrilla war this week western powers agreed to unfreeze his financial assets at a meeting discussing libya's future in paris while new rebel leaders are seeking to . store order in the capital tripoli many people there say they still don't feel

safe the conflict has seen thousands of looted and seized guns wired the country and bar into untrained heroes as artie's warrior for national now reports. is a libyan rebel he got a bullet in his ankle fighting against gadhafi soldiers inside tripoli but with his shots coming from his own side. i didn't even notice until my friend told me that my from was bleeding and pulled the trigger by mistake it was himself. this is a reality of today's libya for when the rebels triumphant march from the country tons of cut off is captured weapons have fallen into the hands of nonprofessional fighters one of the biggest stories was discovered at the abu salim plops security prison in southern tripoli where inmates were released after nato bombed the area of a do with the father of three young boys refuses to appear on camera still fearing

revenge from khadafi loyalists he was among the first to scene and helped destroy the arsenal. i don't want we're going to struggle in the homes of my sons or the youngsters i'm concerned with our country will be growing with goggles this is a very dangerous thing it's not a toy but with the country it was without arms it looks like leaving kids have already developed a fascination for the weapons of war but. when i go out and have a real one and know how bad guys like. when you're through to save of giving up weapons through mosques i hope police are back of the streets the young gunman demonstrate their readiness to. give it back to the. system which many here are afraid that this eviction 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 that all be easy for

many to lay down their arms when the guard has played such a prominent role throughout libya's volatile history riven optional r.t. fearfully libya this week moscow recognized levy as national transitional council as the country's legitimate governing authority the russian foreign minister said he would never want to gadhafi to stay but that he opposed nato's the means of removing him saying principles of international law have been ignored. russia has never proved to the film a libyan regime backing president medvedev clearly stated that people should go the way the united nations resolutions were implemented by some one time members and other states 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 sent as the major objective of the security council resolutions implemented by night time. absolutely sure that justice cannot be done using a mobile phone. as a lady and start to plan their posted out a future political riders' albritton says nato is only following its own interest in the country it's obvious that now that. i think there'd be a conflict between the people who supported them and believe in the future libyan government the prince of libya one thing. they want to make sure they're not to mess them. and they want to control the oil but the libyans are there one agenda there. from their point of view although all the help the west who should in there think they're very soon forget that there are no permanent friendship into it to me

the result of this situation is that now international law is simply dead you can't get a u.n. resolution this is lousy on lies are under a. have no independent commission of the un or anything like that. fact finding mission of anything of the salt and then you go to war you violate the resolution you do you do a war against the government of us are going county and you properly. you're 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 to our t.v. for a copy of an interview with genocide suspect logic where he made serious accusations against iran peacekeepers in the dieties balkans conflict. and to fish ills in washington have squandered sixty billion dollars in iraq and afghanistan the sound of reports says the money was lost waste and fraud. russia has gone down delayed aziz sanctions against syria banning imports of its oil the

sanctions piled more pressure on president bashar asad regime according to the un around two thousand two hundred people have died in syria during the 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 everything goes scott has more. mass murder tearing catastrophe a country on the brink of a revolution this is what you see every time syria pops up in the headlines and 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 were being shown have been digitally manipulated and there have been reports of available online that you can watch of the footage that was taken in bahrain and said to be taken in hama and it's showing to seen footage and different stations with different backgrounds instantly drop in so there are some very strange things that are going on right now and example of

such manipulation is the key suppose to the 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 do 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 would all but very macabre macabre association especially in this particular region so then hussein has developed sort of a practice of hurting people in stadiums and then and then committing mass executions we went to the part of the city which supposedly came under fire from warplanes and navy ships and spoke to the refugees to find out what happened we've got to be some people walking around the neighborhood yelling there will be

shelling from sea soon and everyone has to get out i didn't go anywhere just stayed in my house i 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 hear in our house and when there was a break in the fighting we went to the stadium we stayed there for three days then we came back on the land 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 lying to the heart of the. syrian authorities have long been insisting armed groups are behind the unrest in syria and it's them he starts shooting first jury instructions prompting bloodshed those statements are all but ignored by the media. and where

syria is fighting a media war and it's losing it. the syrian government might have realized its mistake of banishing foreign journalists from the country and you media law has overturned the ban but there is no guarantee it will go a long way towards achieving serious image as portrayed on major networks. hugo's quite serious. but international community is urging president bashar al assad to stop the bloodshed and step down but dr abraham who is a university professor and journalist in amman believes the revolt in syria suits the strategic regional goals of manny western countries i think that the nato alliance using some regional tools like turkey and the gulf corporation council working very hard to instigate instability in syria and this sort of

instability will take this sectarian bent specifically they are working on agitating a civil war within syria and they want to call that evolution they can have they want to but the purpose of such a war is to bring syria to its knees to destroy syria like they did with iraq and libya of course the point is to recreate this scene and regime in the way that is more favorable to the united states government the nato alliance and the royal regimes from. tomorrow. there if that over gas prices between ukraine and russia could and up in the courts kiev has been trying to negotiate a discount on the price it pays for the fuel but moscow says it's ready to stand its ground in front of any international body. here reports from the ukrainian capital we understand that very harsh words are coming from both sides and right

now we understand that the ukrainian president if the article which is saying that his country is being humiliated in the course of negotiations over the gas price and by the great gas price itself that also says that ukraine might take this whole negotiation process into international court in stockholm to resolve the case to try to have. the two thousand and nine gas deals revised position is that it is ready to take it to accept any legal action because it is completely confident that justice is on its side and it's ready to fight on in court should this happen now the essence of this dispute this time is that ukraine has been very much unhappy with the price it is paying for the russian gas and the right now pays up to four hundred u.s. dollars which is a market price for one thousand cubic meters of gas and it wants a lower price once a discount at the same time mosco says that any commercial offer would justify the discount something like should that be there or merger of the ukrainian gas

monopolist now to gas with the russian gas joining us from war approaches by mosco of the transported gas transportation system in ukraine now ukraine tried to find a very interesting way to have the context revised by liquidating the gas monopoly nothing as the one which was signing the contract between key from moscow in two thousand and nine but more so for me reply to that saying that even if the country will be liquidated then all the contracts will ultimately be passed on to its successor so even if not the guy seizes to exist then it would mean that the contracts will have to be revised will certainly this sense shock waves across europe many have been worried whether they would be another gas were another disruption of supplies of g.d.p. in continent but the russian energy minister said that something like what happened in two thousand and nine will not happen this time that there is still enough time to find a proper compromise solution besides the situation itself is pretty much different

from the events of two thousand and nine russia is no longer so strongly dependent on the transportation gas transportation system in ukraine to deliver its gas supplies to europe and north stream pipeline is due to be completed pretty much soon the south stream pipeline will also be available in the next few years so all this all the statement coming from moscow should reconsider the european consumers . the gas war of two thousand i will not repeat again even if there will be serious gas conflict and possible suspension of supplies to ukraine coming in the next several months or maybe starting next year and i want to hear from kenya. hundreds of thousands of israelis have taken part in the largest of a series of protests that have rocked the country for months demonstrators are angry at the high cost of living and once the government to revamp its social policies are the smallest leader is following what appears to be the largest anti-government rally and the nation's history. it is the climax of maybe two

months of social protests here in israel the launches that this country has ever seen now for weeks organizers have been dropping to 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 crowds the rallying call remains that of social justice which people here are demanding that the netanyahu government changes focus away from issues of security to issues of social justice the people here saying that it is simply too expensive to live in israel for. the 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 messages and. not one of the new surrogates we're hearing is where where you came but whom there is a throwback to november the fourth ninety ninety five when the former israeli prime minister yitzhak been ever been was assassinated people say where were you then of course people here 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 has been planned for some time although the vibe here is quite hyped up be no doubt is some disappointment that beat million man march was not reached policy reporting there israel is also facing a rift on a global stage as turkey prepares to challenge its blockade of gaza and international court of justice it comes amid a dramatic slump in relations ankara expelled israel's ambassador and severed all military ties over its refusal to apologize for a last may's gaza for tillery on friday the un investigation power. push the recorder to the attack which killed nine turkish activists and found that israeli

commandos used excessive force and boarding the ship but also good walk in gaza. security has i were pointed out that the findings are non-binding and it's the hague action rwanda matter dr only all 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. is one of those 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 the bilateral relations we have to see if there will be a spillover to egypt in jordan i think this is the moment that we think will issue if the question is about these were only poorly three shows 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 the relations with turkey i don't think the lead truly something could be done 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 website r.t. dot com never runs drive interesting stories and videos here's what we've got for you at the moment. a former policeman charged with murder of a prominent russian journalist anna politkovskaya pleads guilty and agrees to cooperate with investigators in revealing new details of a 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 this and much more available at r.t. dot com. 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 a town were a group of extremists who could round 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 the ordeal began in september the first and last of four fifty one hours and fifty minutes the exact time of the mourning period has been held annually ever since the last day of the commemorations wide balloons were released into the skies one for every victim. in a rare move the un court turned to our t.

this week for assistance in the trial of former bosnian serb general accused of genocide in the ninety's balkans war the war crimes tribunal asked for a copy of a unique interview aired by r t in which luggage but serious allegations against un peacekeepers during the conflict has and he's in our reports the hague might have overlooked an important piece of evidence in the case. what was an archive of never before seen video footage of that interview before archie 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 trying to 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 seventies 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 in the bosnian are possibly 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 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 could these critics base their facts wrong 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 look at it disserves side and 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 biased and he's now reporting there were international inspectors have given dad rate in greece two weeks to implement structural economic reforms that says watchdog released an internal report saying the country's debt is now out of control and it could lose

all benefits of a second e.u. bailout financial analyst james midway says the greek economy is effectively going down the drain. the cat is out of the bag and to be quite honest the statement is quite close to a simple statement of the facts greece cannot applause believe repay its debt under under current circumstances the growth isn't there the debt is far too big and the simply no earthly way is going to be able to maintain its own any causal timescale certainly not by twenty twelve which was the original kind of hope that the other european nations the divisions that are in place right the way across europe now with countries completely unable really to agree on any kind of way forward out of this mess other than the essentially troy been tested and tried and failed methods they have here which essentially is give a bit of a bailout to certain countries and then impose austerity measures we've got to bear in mind that this bailout isn't really about helping the greek economy and certainly not the people of greece who suffered under austerity now for eighteen

months of the most dreadful current huge cuts in public spending in services and people's wages rising unemployment and no real prospects for the future that's what he means there the bailouts really were always about trying to support the european financial system rather than supporting say the greek economy we are certainly i think in the early stages of disintegration of europe the deep rooted structural problems inside the euro system imbalances that built up for the last ten years so i'll be surprised to see the euro continuing in its present form given the situation we're in at the moment. alice take a look at some other stories from around the world from the international monetary fund she dominic strauss kahn has returned to his native france and it's the first time he has gone back after being detained in the u.s. for several weeks on sexual assault charges though the former presidential hopeful was acquitted in new york in our faces and another allegation of indecent assault from tristen went on french novelist. all twenty one people on

a chilean military plane which went off rater friday afternoon are dead after several attempts to land the plane crashed in the pacific killing all aboard four identified bodies personal belongings and pieces of wreckage have been collected along the coastline of chile's remote kuan fernandez islands the country's president joined a mass to mourn the victims. cuba's the fans minister general julio houses where all has died of heart failure of the seventy five year old politician 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 his death has drawn attention to the aging leaders still running the country. the u.s. has lost around sixty billion dollars in waste and fraud in iraq and afghanistan over the past decade the u.s. senate commission into wartime contracting has estimated and this week's report

claims of mine was lost through poor planning a lack of oversight and outright scams by u.s. contractors and federal employees the panel also suggested implementing stripling measures to control spending to prevent even more money being wasted in the future michael o'brien a former official who also worked in iraq as a contract there is this despite the reports the pentagon will continue to waste money because of its strategy for fighting wars. the authors of the report say that the ratio is practically one to one contractor to soldier which is absolutely there's no doubt in my mind that it's at least that and it says that america can't fight its wars without contractors anymore so much reliance has been placed on them by the department of defense and it's it's not just money that's being wasted one dollar one dollar in six the estimate was wasted squandered lost more could be

wasted because things have been built that will be able to me the more they can maintain them in countries like iraq and afghanistan you have to when you build something water power plant you have to be able to maintain and operate in the afghanis simply don't have the ability to do that so corruption we've created a corruption. i'll be back with headlines and in just a few moments so stay with us for more.
