and warned of further steps to force president assad on the five month crackdown on protesters the u.n. claims that more than two thousand people have died since the anti stations began in march but some including syrian government say the reports about the conflict are far from reality everything can use because of the few international journalists on the ground here for. 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 been the implication that some of the images we're being shown have been digitally manipulated and there have been reports about that are available online that you can watch of footage 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 drugging 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 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 somewhat of a very macabre macabre association 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 the ships in 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 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 read 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 navy attack taking place on the city. we felt like we were lied to. syrian authorities have long been insisting armed groups are behind the unrest in syria and it's them who starts shooting first you 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 journalist from the country in the media law has overturned that ban but there is no guarantee it will go a long way towards changing series image as portrayed on major networks in those court t.v. 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 loyalist have been given until next saturday to surrender but cease fire talks broke down a few hours ago he remains on the run has made defiant statements rallying his supporters urging them to fight on. the way less than his leaving to unfreeze billions of dollars or to help libya's new leadership. transitional council already

has his hands full trying to restore order in tripoli where thousands of fighters were going on the clear agenda are roaming the streets with r.t. that we're report the rebels could prove unwilling to bite the bullet. 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. i didn't even notice until my friend told me that my foot was bleeding he pulled the trigger by mistake he was so scared himself. this is a reality of today's libya for when the rebels stray off and march through the country tons of khadafi is captured weapons have fallen into the hands of nonprofessional fighters one of the biggest stories was discovered at the top security prison in southern tripoli where inmates were released after nato bombed the area of the dude who's the father of three young boys refuses to appear on

camera still fearing revenge from gadhafi loyalists he was among the first to seen and helped destroy the arsenal. i don't want weapons to fall into the hands of my songs or the i'm concerned who are going to be going with ground rules this is a very dangerous thing it's not a toy but with the country in war with arms it looks like libyan kids have already developed a fascination for the weapons of war but. when i go out i have real life and will kill bad guys like gadhafi then your thought is you save a gathering up weapons through mosques and while police are back on the streets the young gunman demonstrate their readiness to. give it back to them soon as they ask a system which many here are afraid that this addiction may have a painful withdraw 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 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 river national r.t. tripoli libya now russia the recognize the national transitional powerful as libya's legitimate governing authority but lost is still opposed to how nato used the un mandate to protect civilians only to take sides in a civil war to bring down good happy russia's nato envoy told r.t. that the alliance with looking to defy the u.n. charter and grab africa's oil riches. i do. it's a classic situation when separate nato countries are waging war and meddling in an internal conflict of a country far away from nato zone of responsibility but their lines as an organization claims not to be involved classic military propaganda to use the un resolution as chewing gum probably on purpose to show that the alliance today is

equal to the un and tomorrow maybe even more powerful it's a dangerous trend nature is turning into the world's policeman and that's using the un resolution also turning down to feed their interests and not taking into account the interests of the people on the ground the rebels are united in only by the desire to get rid of gadhafi and as soon as an enemy is defeated 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 as a military presence aiming to control libya's oil reserves are. still putting pressure on the press british police. media telling us they have been they seem to have arrived. to help. across the israel a furious public have been making sure no doubt about that anger with the largest demonstration in the country's history. month against the high cost of housing

corruption and other living standards. reports from the biggest rally in tel aviv. it is the climax of nearly two months of social protests here in israel the largest at this country has ever seen now for weeks organizers have been doubling the million man march they were really hoping that a million people were turned 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 are saying that it is simply too expensive to live in israel for. the you know one of the new surrogates we're hearing is where were you surprised by third that is a throwback to november the fourth one thousand nine hundred five when the former

israeli prime minister yitzhak been ever been was assassinated people say where were you then so 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 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 settlers and trying to convince countries not to support the palestinian move instead of listening to the discounted messes at home. while the people are demanding a more money be spent on social programs not settlement building a military operations analyst a gash in battle skins have been telling r.t. . the social concerns are extremely valid 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 second gaps between rich and poor only after the united states we have

a problem of increasing privatization a philosophy that our prime minister adheres 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 and people earning two salaries a two parent 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. that 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 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 tuns. the hague. with former bosnian serb general came out it seems on trial for genocide thank. you cranes grumbly a gaspin again with a rally of the agreed price for the russia to end up in court he is having trouble paying but well nationalized energy found with russia's gas problem to bring costs down the kremlin insists the contract cannot be refined that shiny and will stand its ground and reports. very harsh words are coming from both sides and right now the ukraine president viktor yanukovych 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 the court should this happen saying that until a proper 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 is paying for the russian gas and right now it plays 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 nafta gas with the russian gas giant gazprom or a purchase by moscow of the transport gas transportation system in ukraine this harsh stance voiced by ukraine sent shock waves across europe many have been awarded whether there would be another gas war another disruption of supplies into

the reaping 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 by blind 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 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 a big style with festivals and a massive laser show millions are expected. turning out to be the most expensive

day for liberation in moscow's long history around seven hundred events are scheduled across the capital with a concert for the pods along with major exhibitions in the city. will be a laser show that with all this universe in the station. could be a break and you can watch it here live. in a few hours from now. we're following the celebrations taking place across ross's capital on our web site as well head to our. day and the other news that we're covering including online or right now we hear from an award winning serbian film director about his plans to build a traditional russian village in an ethnic settlement in heads of giving them. a red squares rousing spectacular. military tattoo which runs off this sunday with

russian and. beating drums to an easy to red square. this week. military took to. the sticks. do you front row seats just. now british police are putting pressure on the. riots in order to identify the action but. are resisting the request to take editorial standards. being seen as evidence gathering as bill parcells plays their forces across the country approach media groups voluntarily handing be used and unseen footage for scotland yard said it would have taken a court order to force disclosure of experience necessary and the journalist taking

gosling says the police were on the rest of my fundamental press freedom. and i was very disappointed to see that david cameron in the emergency debate 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 to the independent broadcasters and just demand footage demand details of people who've been taking film this kind of thing then go around potentially and 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 ultimately what's going to happen in a demonstration situation if you're going to have the crown turning on the journalist they will come 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 strictly when a crime has just taken place and it's very important that 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 they're 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 and it's bring you some more of today's world news now in brief from the former head of the international monetary fund. let's return to the sex assault charges were dropped against the us he was arrested in new york in may after a hit. well mate accused him of attempted rape because that can was put under house arrest but later the case against him was dismissed by a judge as well as having to quit the i.m.f. he faces another sexual assault allegation by novel is.

the rounds first nuclear power plant has been connected to the country's electricity grid work on the bush era facility began in the one nine hundred seventy s. but construction stalled until the ninety's when russia sent specialists to complete it both countries have reached agreement that spent atomic fuel for the plant and sent to russia to reduce that west indians a little could use the materials to build nuclear arms. tropical storm has reached landfall in new evanier in the southern u.s. as 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 haunted by the katrina flood disaster the gale comes less than a week to hearken irene killed more than forty people in the u.s. . so here's what's ahead for you on r.t.

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 behind deserted towns and villages. the u.n. war crimes tribunal has missed a key piece of evidence in the balkans was run. it's a copy of an archive interview with the former bosnian serb general which aired just a few weeks ago on this channel it was recorded shortly after the stripper needs a massacre in one thousand nine hundred five thousand of muslim men and boys men and boys were killed. in. a t.v. station is available the body parts are very surprised that this video footage which could should be very important very important material in the trial dismissed by the tribe in all its eighteen years of existence the. you know. if you just want a little shot at a court of law and this is going to not we can't do this it could go. up and

remembered in the top three hundred and this week thousands of i respect for the time which happened. with the belief that the children on the other end. were all behind you know how stable electricity science the nearest pharmacy post office and grocery store or miles away but for tiana some sort of even that is not the most difficult thing to cope with it's having no neighbors that you know what they used to be so many families living here but then some people die and some left everybody is going to be used to be a successful tiny agricultural community were everyone knew each other's names and celebrated birthdays together that you know and has been here all her life but no nearly all that's left of the village or 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 are just around two hundred miles away from moscow. as a hobby sygate 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. not i want us here this is fertile land you can stick a pole in the soil here and it will have peppers growing on its once i cover and tomatoes on the other shore some agricultural facilities are still left in some areas but mostly the lands and abandoned. 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 life in

the countryside is no longer attractive especially for young people who are fleeing to cities looking for a better life when. it's not the village which is becoming extinct it's the youths reasons for self motivation people are leaving their villages for big cities but they often don't know what to do there so they can 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 the real community and as many try to survive in cities looking for work the countryside is dying out although some traces of life still exist here and there it may not be too long before they fall silent all together.
