margaret why not. find out what's really happening to the global economy is a report on. the week so top stories from r.t.e. russia lambast the e.u. for posing a threat of home sanctions against the syrian regime over the crackdown musical on the ground investigate who is really behind the bloodshed and how much it is like. israelis organized the country's the biggest ever government rally demanding more money spent on living standards and not settlements a military. ukraine turns are these in the count's round with moscow demanding previously agreed prices are caused by refusing to make any concessions maintains the current deal complies with them so that's the requirements and can't be revised unilaterally.

a very warm welcome to this is live from moscow russia has sharply criticized the latest e.u. sanctions against syria calling them harmful and ineffective in solving the crisis europe's imposing an oil embargo and warns of further steps of course president assad and the five month crackdown on protesters the u.n. claims that more than sixty annals of people have died since the anti ration began in march but some including the syrian government say the reports about the conflict are far from reality artie's everything news goes along a few international journalists on the ground here or she. asked murder tarion catastrophe a country on the brink of a revolution this is what you see every time syria pop. up in the headlines 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 nipples manipulated and there have been reports about that are available online that you can watch of of their lives that was taken in bahrain and said to be taken in hama and it's showing the same footage and on different stations with different backgrounds digitally druggy and 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 i'm not talking about in the center of the controversy when according to various reports anywhere from several hundred 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 the talk here 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 what are

the very macabre macabre association especially in this particular region so the ankle sprain 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 the 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 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. to gunfire did break out between the army and gunmen so some five thousand palestinians left their homes hearing for their lives. we wanted to read so that our kids wouldn't hear the gunshots we hear in our house and when there was a break in the fire. we went to the studio we stayed there for three days then we

came back. and so did two thousand refugees only to realize there was no air and navy attack taking place on the city. like we were lined to the largest syrian authorities have long been insisting armed groups are behind the unrest in syria and it's them who starts shooting first jury instructions from time bloodshed those statements are all but ignored by the media. of syria is fighting the media war and it's losing. the syrian government might have realized its mistake of banishing foreign journalist from the country in the media law has now returned but there is no guarantee it will go a long way towards achieving serious image as portrayed on major networks in those forty syria. crossed in libya the rebels are reportedly assaulting one of the last remaining strongholds of colonel gadhafi supporters the town of bani walid

southeast of tripoli the loyalists have been given until next saturday to surrender but these fellows talks broke down a few hours ago he remains on the run has made to find statements rallying his forces and urging them to fight on now he's also keeping up their strikes on the oil is and is moving to unfreeze billions of dollars and get out his assets to help libya's new leadership the national transitional council already has its hands full trying to restore order in tripoli where thousands of alt items were going on the clear agenda are roaming the streets and those are things that we are now reports the rebels could prove unwilling to. my hammer is a libyan rebel he got a bullet in his ankle fighting against gadhafi soldiers inside regime a tripoli but with his shot coming from his own side. of the i didn't even notice until my friend told me that my foot was bleeding he pulled the trigger by mistake

he was saul security himself. this is a reality of today's leave here for when the rebels stray off and march through the country tons of conduct is captured weapons have fallen into the hands of nonprofessional fighters one of the biggest stories that was discovered at the abu salim top security prison in southern tripoli where inmates were released after nato bombed the area of the do this before their three young boys refuses to appear on camera still fear of revenge from gadhafi loyalists he was among the first from the scene i helped destroy the arsenal. i don't want well most of all of my hands of my songs on the internet and consume grow our country will be going with goggles this is a very dangerous thing it's not a toy but with the country a war with arms it looks like libyan kids have already developed a fascination with a weapons of war but. when i go out on her real life and will kill bad guys like

duffy's when you're thor's you say go soon start gathering up weapons from mosques and while police are back on the streets the young gunman demonstrate their readiness to call in we'll give it back to the as soon as they ask a system which many here are afraid of 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 but fear of albeit is it for many to lay down their arms when the guard has played such a prominent role throughout libya's volatile history. r.t. tripoli libya now after this we recognize the national transitional council as libya's legitimate governing authority but last is still opposed to how nato used the un mandate to protect civilians only to in a civil war to bring down a. boy told r.t.

that the alliance and looking to the five and africa's oil which is what you have it's a classic situation when separate nato countries are. in an internal conflict of a country far away from nature a zone of responsibility but their lines as an organisation claims not to be involved classic military propaganda we need to use the un resolution. probably on purpose to show that the alliance today is equal to the un and tomorrow maybe even more powerful but it's a dangerous trend nature is turning into the world's policeman and that's using the un resolution also turning to feed their interests and not taking into account the interest of the people on the ground the rebels are united only by the desire to get rid of gadhafi and as soon as the common enemy is defeated with the opposition will inevitably face internal rests and i'm sure that that will be the moment when some western countries will try to secure some military presence aiming to control

libya's oil reserves and. putting pressure on the press british police let them media telling us they have been listening to how the riot the siege of looted help of efforts. across israel a furious public making sure they government no doubt about their anger with the largest demonstration in the country's history and station protests swelling it's a month against the high cost of health thing corruption and other living as police here reports from the biggest rally in tel aviv. 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 have been dubbing 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 which people here are demanding that the netanyahu government change its focus away from issues of security to issues of social justice that people here are saying that it is simply too expensive to live in israel whoa whoa whoa whoa you know one of the new surrogates we're hearing is where you can buy food there is a throwback to november the fourth ninety ninety five when the former israeli prime minister gets that going ever been was assassinated people say where were you there so of course people here are saying where are you now with people really wanting to come to the street and make a change and make their voices heard and yet instead of concentrating on domestic problems israeli prime minister binyamin netanyahu has been focused on the international stage on september the trenches palestinians will go to the united nations to declare a state and it in yahoo has responded by arming settlers and trying to convince countries not to support the palestinian move instead of listening to the despond

told messes at home. while the people are demanding more money be spent on social programs not settlement building and military operations analyst suggestion buskins had been telling r.t. . the social concerns are extremely valid and the gaps between rich and poor in israel are grown from a society to 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 and again the cost of living keeps going up in people earning two salaries and to a family 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 when asking the protestors and those who are leading them

grew sure that when you come to pay for all these social services and to close the gaps. that come out 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 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. in just a few minutes time the war crimes tribunals turns sour teenie the hague zarathustra for a meeting with former bosnian serb general right came out it is on trial for genocide they know. ukraine's grumbly a gas bill again with iran way the agreed price for the russia and upping course he is having trouble paying but well it's nationalized energy than with mustard gas prong bring costs down the kremlin insists the contract cannot be refined you know

that cheney will stand its ground and yes asking for. very harsh words are coming from both sides right now the ukrainian president is saying that his country is being humiliated in the course of negotiations over the gas price and also says that. the ukraine might take this whole negotiation process into international court in stockholm to try to have the two thousand and nine gas deals revised moskos position is that it is ready 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 saying that. commercial offer comes in the price will stay the same and the negotiations will continue no 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 right now it pays up to four hundred us 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 be there or merger of the ukrainian gas one office nafta gas with the russian gas giant gazprom or a purchase by moscow health of the transportation gas transportation system in ukraine this harsh stance voiced by ukraine send shock waves across europe many have been worried whether they would be another gas were another disruption of supplies in g.d.p. and 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 russia is no longer so strongly dependent on the gas transportation system in ukraine to deliver its gas supplies to europe we know that several new pipelines are being built i right now the 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 the gas war of two thousand and i will not repeat again even if there will be a serious gas conflict and possible suspension of supplies to ukraine coming in the next several months or maybe starting next year. now it's happy birthday to the big city moscow is eight hundred sixty four years old in the russian capital is not a big style with festivals and a massive laser show millions expects pass while turning out to be the most expensive city day for liberations and moscow's long history around seven hundred events are scheduled across the capital with a concert for the parks along with major art exhibitions and the city's public square around the lot later will be a laser show like no well though with washers all this universe in the station more could be a record breaker and you can watch it here live on r.t. in a few hours from now. well we're following with the liberation taking

now british police are putting pressure on journalists to hand over the years of last month's riots in order to identify looted in action but me zero organizations are resisting the request to take editorial flounces and avoid being seen as evidence gatherers your policies please our forces across the country approach media groups of voluntary handing be used and unseen footage scotland yard said it would have taken a court order to force disclosure of experience necessary and the journalist a blast playing a policeman on the breast of the miser fundamental press freedom. i was very disappointed to see that david cameron in the emergency to break about the riots was actually saying and i quote the media has a responsibility to hand over pictures and i think this is absolutely appalling thing to say that's the sort of thing you would expect in a police state where the police can go down for the independent broad. courses and just demand footage details of people who've been taking film this conflict then go

around potentially raid their homes too so i don't know where david camm is coming from on this as far as i know we live in a liberal democracy and we've got a free and independent press the other thing is also likely what's going to happen in a demonstration situation if you're going to have the crown turning on the journalist they will come again even possibly lynch camera people thinking and if this goes through quite rightly in this case thinking that these people are actually this they're filming evidence for the police and this is an absolutely unacceptable situation police in the media are trying to do a similar thing in certain circumstances basically when a crime is just like that it's very important the both of them are doing it independently they have got forty thousand they've told us hours of c.c.t.v. footage to go through and it seems to me that maybe they're getting a bit bored with doing that and actually trying to actually co-opt the press in britain to be evidence gatherers for the police and that would be a horrendous thing if it ever takes place. bring you some more of today's world

news now in brief from the former head of the international monetary fund. has returned to try and start a sex assault charges were dropped against the u.s. he was arrested in new york in may after a hotel maid attempted rape hostage can was put under house arrest but later the case against him was dismissed by charge as well as having to quit the i.m.f. he faces another sexual assault allegation from my novel is. around those nuclear power plant has been connected to the country's electricity grid work on the bush ethnicity began in the ninety's seventy's but construction schools are the ninety's when russians have specialists to complete it both countries have reached an agreement that spent atomic fuel for the party and sent to russia to reduce that west indians that iran could use the materials to build nuclear arms. tropical storm has reached landfall in louisiana in the southern

u.s. there's a state of emergency in the region as well as coastal parts of mississippi where evacuations are taking place up to fifty centimeters of rain are expected over the next few days in louisiana including new orleans which is still on to its by the katrina flood disaster gail comes less than a week after hurricane irene killed more than forty people in the u.s. . now here's what's ahead for you on the as we report from some of russia's real ghost towns young people are abandoning the remote places where they grew up in search of a better future leaving behind a deserted towns and villages. the u.n. war crimes tribunals has missed a key piece of evidence in the trial against balkans was run came luggage it's out r.t. for a copy of an archive and a former bosnian serb general which aired just a few weeks ago on this channel it was recorded shortly after the start really it's

a massacre ninety ninety five miles of muslim men and boys men and boys were killed it is not it's making serious allegations against you and peacekeepers in bosnia auntie's and somali reports. what was an archive never before seen video footage of that interview before our t.v. published it some a jew 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 r.c. 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 and where our villages and towns were attacked

now a lot it also goes on to say that he believes the u.n. was smuggling weapons into demilitarized shows you can see the severity of these claims and how they could possibly be very important evidence and again shocking really that the hate tribunals missed this type of first off because it was filmed in one thousand nine hundred five just after the server needs a mauser which is one of the atrocities that malott it is 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 our costs are very surprising that this video footage which could certainly be a very important moment and very important material in the trial was missed by the tribunals and 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 these critics base their facts on is that seventy percent of the indictments that the 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 the serbs side in the other generals or officials that have been tried a lot of them have been given a notch lesser sentences and some of them have even been acquitted and again this latest if you will mixing of evidence by the tribunals is not going to help in criticism that the hague is in fact bias well balanced view with right hand knowledge is online in full on our website dot com as well as on the channel youtube dot com flash r.c. . the victims of russia's the deadliest terror trial thirty have been remembered in the town of over three hundred people and three children were killed in the school

this week thousands of people paid their respects to the victims of the attack which happened seven years ago hundreds of buildings were released and symbolic display to the murdered children and the other innocents who dolly the terrorists held around a thousand people hostage in the school three days without. rushes a youth abusing a part of the big cities to make their living but they were all towns they find are dying out as a result you're going to put off as more of the generation drains here how the few stay behind. no hot water or stable electricity supplies the nearest pharmacy post office and grocery store or miles away for thirteen or some sort or even that is not the most difficult thing to cope with it's having you know neighbors that you know where they used to be so many families living here but then some people die some little will go everybody is gone now even

the roads. it used to be a successful tiny agricultural community where everyone knew each other's names and celebrated birthdays together that he has been here all her life but now nearly all that's left of the village are her memories this used to be a collective farm back in soviet times and now it looks more like ancient ruins rather than something which actually functioned not so long ago it's astonishing especially knowing that we're just around two hundred miles away from moscow as a hobby city gave travels around the country and explores deserted towns and villages he says he's used to seeing tumble down barns and abandoned houses even in these areas known for centuries for their great harvests. john i am not i honestly this is first thailand you can stick a pole in the soil here and it will have peppers growing on its ones i thought of

and tomatoes on the other sure some of the cultural facilities are still left in some areas but mostly the lawns and abandoned the official figures show that over three thousand villages in russia became deserted last year alone many small schools and hospitals have shut down there's simply no one to educate or treat anymore wife in the countryside is no longer attractive especially for young people who are fleeing to cities looking for a better life when you are a needed him yeah it's not the village which is becoming extinct it's the youth reasons for self motivation people are leaving their villages for big cities they often don't know what to do there so they can't find a job or a family build a life. of course there are examples of successful forming businesses in russia but experts agree there are only a drop in the ocean and aren't enough to motivate the youth to work and live in blue communities and as many try to survive in cities looking for work the

countryside is dying out although some traces of life are still exist here in their mean on the too long before they fall silent all together then they go. back. oh he got his gun off or to central russia. just a heads up or says shell with a sample to try his company's involvement in foreign wars that sauce and i'll paint on the main story yes if you take away.
