7:05 am
initiatives were ignored leading to an increase in civilian casualties however it was the protection of the civilian population that was set as the major objective of the security council resolutions implemented by nato and we're absolutely sure that justice cannot be done using our norful methods. the race for libya's oil was that was the way of polls where the war activists crystalline and says that the meeting in paris to the south it is that it will have any intentions . we're in a situation now where the old regime appears to be over in the future and any aspiring new regime should be spending its time listening to the desires of the ordinary people in libya not what's listening to the lecture is that which i reckon we're going to be getting from the world's great powers it strikes me that this is like something out of
7:06 am
a nineteenth century where the big imperialist colonial powers are dictating to. what is basically a leadership they themselves have selected about exactly who's going to get what france is going to get thirty five percent of the oil no doubt britain will be putting in a big claim for another thirty or so other countries will be following suit our ages lead it could lead to it's being chaired by the two main protagonists the british prime minister and the french. leader what is going on we were told this was a war that was being fought for humanitarian reasons it's in fact into what is basically a nato take over the country as far as i can see. well with our team here's what's still ahead for you in the program the international war crimes tribunals to see point b. of an interview with genocide suspect rather came love it when he made serious accusations against u.n. peacekeepers in the nineteenth of pulp mills called legs. and officials in
7:07 am
washington have squandered sixty billion dollars that iraq and afghanistan a senate report says the money was lost in waste and force. russia has condemned the latest e.u. sanctions against syria banning imports of it's all we'll the sanctions pile more pressure on president assad's regime according to the u.n. around two thousand people hundreds two thousand two hundred people rather have died in syria during the government crackdown against opposition protests since march human rights group amnesty international. been tortured to death but something in the syrian government through the media is twisting the reality of a really good initial reports. 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 but what is really happening in a country where hardly any foreign journalists are present there's even the
7:08 am
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. that was taken in gori and said to be taken in hama and it's showing the same footage and on different stations with different backgrounds in the drug scene so there are some very strange things that are going on right now an example of such manipulation is the key supposed to be 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 little. yeah now according to the opposition forces and to some of the palestinians when they got to the stadium their i.d.'s 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 alba very much macabre association
7:09 am
especially in this particular region so the uncle saying 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 to the bomber 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 came back. so did two thousand refugees only to realize there was no air and
7:10 am
navy attack taking place on the city. we felt like we were lined to the heart of the largest syrian authorities have long been insisting rolled armed groups are behind the unrest in syria and it's them who start shooting first during the history shows prompting bloodshed those statements are all but ignored by the media . syria is fighting a media war and it's losing. the syrian government might have realized its mistake of banishing foreign journalists from the country and the media law has overturned that ban but there is no guarantee it will go a long way. we're changing series image and were treated on major networks is a goal scorer to syria. or the rest of the gas prices between ukraine or russia could end up in the courts kids been trying to negotiate a discount on the price it pays for the fuel says it's ready to stand its ground
7:11 am
zero in front of any international body that as he reports from the ukrainian capital. we understand that a very harsh words are coming from both sides and right now we understand that the ukrainian president is saying that his country is being humiliated in the course of negotiations over the gas price and by the gas price itself and 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 course should this happen now the essence of this dispute this time is that ukraine has been very much unhappy with the price it's 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
7:12 am
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 went up a snuff to gas with the russian people joining us from war approaches by mosco of the transportation gas transportation system in ukraine now ukraine tried to find a very interesting way to have the context revised by liquidating the gas monopoly not to get the one which was signing the contract between keven moscow in two thousand and nine but most school for me reply to that saying that even if the company will be liquidated then all the contracts will automatically pass on to its successor so even if nothing got 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. and continent but the russian energy minister said that something like what
7:13 am
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 city. 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 the north wind is due to be completed pretty much soon the south stream five ply will also be available in the next few years so all this all the statement coming from moscow should reconsider the european consumers that 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 now hundreds of thousands of israelis have taken part in the largest of the theories of protests. and demonstrations are angry at the high cost of living and government. policies. following what appears to
7:14 am
be the largest rally in the nation's history. it is the climax of nearly two months of social protests here in israel the largest that this country has ever seen now for weeks organizers had been touting the million man march they were really hoping that a million people would turn out on the streets of israel though we were hearing figures of some three hundred and fifty thousand that's three hundred fifty thousand in ten cities way 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 change its 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. and yet instead of concentrating on domestic problems israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu has been focused on the international stage on september twentieth palestinians will go
7:15 am
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 nesters. now one of the new surrogates we're hearing is we use the tape but soon there is a throwback to november the fourth one thousand nine hundred five when the former israeli prime minister yitzhak being 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 they no doubt is some disappointment that the million man march was not reached well there are a car here over one hundred israeli settlements in the west bank in east jerusalem gershon baskin and allison palestinian conflict says israel should be spending the billions for reconstruction and social programs inside the country. the social
7:16 am
concerns are extremely valid the gaps between rich and poor in israel are grown from a society that thirty years ago was one of the most egalitarian in the world today to the sections of gaps between rich and poor only after the united states we have a problem of increasing privatization a philosophy that our prime minister it appears to and what we've seen privatized in israel over the past years are serious social services which should provide to be provided by the government in education health and welfare are going to care the cost of living keeps going up and people earning two salaries and compare with the household with the cost of education health and welfare cannot make it to the end of the month we've heard a lot of voices in israel. asking the protestors and those who are leading them should the money come to pay for all these social services and to close the gaps to . come up quite often is one take money away from the very high military budget and the other is to transfer money which is going from the settlements in the occupied
7:17 am
territories to building inside of israel proper so there's a conflict here this government of israel today is a right wing religious supported government which supports the continuation of building settlements and there will be conflict here. as always a facing a red. state as turkey prepares to challenge its blockade of gaza and the international court of justice it comes and it cannot expand and relations ankara expelled its. all military ties a place he's also apologized for last may. on friday the un investigation published a report in packets. they found that israeli commanding excessive force was boarding the ship but all thinking. oh it's actually said only the hague should rule on the other side now israel's prime minister has reiterated his refusal to apologize. the former head of the israeli diplomatic mission. says
7:18 am
israel. have to make peace with the palestinians before turkey becomes our friend. israel 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 praying 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 the critical 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 both think
7:19 am
the by literally 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. sides r.t. dot com that never runs dr interesting story it is here's what we've got out of the main event palmer police charged unformatted on the a russian general when it caught fire people killed cooperate with the investigating revealing new details of a complicated case. a white americans are no longer a majority in the country with a right and i have found it by an asian population in a number of big things in all this and much more. grief and sorrow can be seen all across the north caucasus town of around this week that marked the anniversary of russia's deadliest terrorist attack hundred three
7:20 am
kept. at a school in the center of the tom were a group of extremists a lot of people hostage seventy of them but it is relaying flowers and lighting candles remembering over three hundred thirty victims of the three day siege more than half of those killed in the assault children will deal began on september first the last fifty one hours and fifteen minutes the exact time of the mourning period that has been held annually at the sense on the last day of remember asians white balloons were released into the skies one everything. the un of course turned to our t.v. this week for assistance in the trial. of former bosnian serb general accused of genocide in the ninety's balkans war but war crimes tribunals for a copy of a unique interview as by our city in which a lot of serious allegations against peacekeepers during the conflict and as and he's now we report the hague might have overlooked an important piece of evidence
7:21 am
in the. what was an archive never before seen video footage of that interview before r t published it summit to 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 and united nations forces trained those safe areas into terrorist and fundamentalist bases don't wear our villages and towns were attacked now malott it also goes on to say that he believes the u.n. 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
7:22 am
really that they hate tribunals this this stuff first off because it was filmed in one thousand nine hundred five just after the seventy some massacre which is one of the atrocities that malott it chooses 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 the bosnian are high security surprising that this video footage which could certainly be a very important moment and very important material in the trial dismissed by the trying to you know it's eighteen years of existence the tribunal has faced harsh criticism about it being biased it's fierce his 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 because these critics base their facts on is that seventy percent of the indictments that the
7:23 am
court has issued have all been against serbs and when you look at. who is been tried over the past almost two decades you could say when you look at this service side and the other 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. international inspectors have given the debt ridden greece two weeks to implement structural economic reforms councils a budget was nice an internal report saying the country's debt is now out of control and i would use all the benefits of the second bailout financial and they said james and i graces the greek economy as effectively carrying it 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 cannot be plausibly under under current
7:24 am
circumstances the growth isn't there the debt is far too big and that simply no earthly way is going to take this step on any causal time scale certainly not by twenty twelve which was the original call of hope 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 troi been tested and tried and failed methods the half year which essentially is give a bit of a bailout to certain countries 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 that the bailout really was always about trying to support european financial system rather than supporting say the greek economy we certainly i think in the early

stages of disintegration the euro the deep rooted structural problems inside the euro system the imbalances that built up for the last ten years so i'd be surprised to see the euro continuing in its present form given the situation we're in at the moment. and headlines from around the world this hour now and around nuclear health care i think a message to the country. if there were to be a technical test before it officially operating and. if it is he was billed by russell which will help to run it. we spent time a fuel from the plant pantry assume. that around the station develop new. former international monetary fund chief dominique has returned to his native it's the first time. going back to being detained to give us the several weeks and sexual assault charges there the former presidential hopeful was acquitted in new york he now faces another allegation of

7:27 am
a former official who also worked in iraq with the contractor says despite the report will continue to have a study because of its strategy for fighting boards pop the authors of the report say that the ratio was practically one to one contractor a soldier which is absolutely there's no doubt in my mind that it's at least. 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 dark one dollar in six the estimate was wasted squandered lost more could be wasted because things have been built it will be able to me they can't maintain them in countries like you have a reckoning of chemistry and you have to when you build something like a power plant you have to be able to maintain an operator in the afghanis simply don't have the ability to do that so corruption we've created
