9:01 am
a very warm welcome to you this is the live from moscow the un's most powerful goal the should demand an end to the violence in syria and we will all parties into a dialogue that's russia as you outlined by the foreign minister during a meeting with his brazilian counterpart on sunday well russia has sharply criticized the latest. against syria calling the whole in full and then effective in solving the crisis group's imposing an oil and go in war and a first step for president assad and the five love the crackdown on protesters the u.n. claims more than two finals of the diets and dance of government demonstrations began a notch that someone creating the syrian government say the reports of all the conflicts are far from reality i mean they're going to shows among the few international journalists on the ground is will she found. a mass murder and
9:02 am
tearing catastrophe a country on the brink of a revolution this is what you see every time syria pops up with lee had lines but what is really happening. 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 in different stations different backgrounds in the rockies 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
9:03 am
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 know how to realize that herding large numbers of people into stadiums carries somewhat over very macabre macabre association especially in this particular region so the ankle sprain has developed sort of a practice of herding people into stadiums and then and then committing mass executions we went to the part of the city which supposedly came under fire from real planes in 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. still gunfire did break out between army and unknown gunmen so some five thousand palestinians left their homes fearing for their lives. we wanted to read so that
9:04 am
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. three days and then came back to london so did two thousand refugees only to realize there was no air and navy attack taking place on this it's. not like we were lied to about how people are just syrian authorities have long been insisting armed groups are behind the rest in syria and it's them who start shooting first you can't turn bloodshed those statements are bothered more by the media. her syria is fortune in media war and it's losing it or. the syrian government might have realized its mistake of banishing foreign journalists from the country 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

courtsey syria. across 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 but loyalists have been given until next saturday to surrender but these talks broke down a few hours ago example he remains on the run of a defiant statements rallying his courses and urging them to. nato is all thinking it's airstrikes all the oil is and is moving to unfreeze dollars and get back in our heads to help libya's new leadership the national transitional council already has its hands full trying to restore order in tripoli with pals and i says with an uncle or agenda are roaming the streets and as are the national reports the rebels could improve on willing i can but it. is a libyan rebel he got a bullet in his ankle fighting against gadhafi soldiers in tripoli but with a shot coming from his side. i didn't even notice until my friend told me that
9:06 am
right foot was bleeding he pulled the trigger going to state it was 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 obviously top security prison in southern tripoli where inmates were released after a major bomb the area of the duke with the father of three young boys refuses to appear on camera still fear in revenge from khadafi loyalists who was among the first to the scene to help destroy the arsenal. which i don't want with most of all of the homes of my songs or the and soon grow our country will be going with ground poles this is a very dangerous thing it's not a toy but with a country it was with arms it looks like live in kids have already developed
9:07 am
a fascination for the weapons of war but. when ground zero hurt real life and all the bad guys like it's nothing then you're thor's you say start gathering up weapons from mosques and hope police are back on the streets the young gunman demonstrate their readiness to. give it back to them as soon as they ask a stone which many here are afraid that this addiction may have a painful withdrawal 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 original r.t. fearfully libya on a his ongoing bombing campaign in libya is said to have caused hundreds the civilian casualties that the u.s. led the lives of myth that only a few innocent people have been killed in an era american politician bill van auken
9:08 am
says the west has a long history of denial. this is going to war from the outset that has been waged for definite material interest largely oil geo strategic placement in north africa a means of countering the revolutionary upheavals they're taking place on libya's borders both in tunisia and egypt now what will nato do in its stead and it says it's protecting civilians and leading the air war against civilians it's trained so-called rebels who have now been implicated in massacres of civilians including sub-saharan african migrant workers so i think this is a bodes very poorly for the future of libya and i think point broadly that this is a threat to people throughout north africa and indeed across the world so the united states britain france and italy to some extent i mean these powers have essentially portrayed this intervention as
9:09 am
a humanitarian venture to protect civilian life. this is been a fraud from the very outset it's hardly a new excuse for the united states i think you could go back to eighty ninety eight and say every war ever waged by the united states by us imperialism has been waged in the name of protecting civilians humanitarianism and democracy now still to come this hour putting pressure on the press person shipping flex and muscle for the media telling these groups they have a response policing sandoval drive seizure leaves him to help make iran. across israel a few areas public have been making sure their government's in no doubt about that anger with the knowledge is demonstration and the country's history there's a massive swelling but see the high cost of housing corruption an opening stand the police three reports from the biggest rally in television. it was the climax of nearly two months of social protests here in israel the largest that this country
9:10 am
has ever seen now for weeks organizers have been doubling the million man march they were really hoping that a million people would turn out on the streets of israel though we are 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 leaders 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 oh oh oh oh oh you know one of the new slogans we're hearing is where were you sitting by third there is a throwback to november the fourth ninety ninety five when the former israeli prime minister yitzhak rabin was assassinated people say where were you then 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 a voice is heard and yet instead of concentrating on domestic problems israeli
9:11 am
prime minister benjamin netanyahu has been focused on the international stage on september the twenty fifth 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 disc on children messes at home. while the people are demanding more money be spent on social programs not settlement building or a militia operation with allison baskins been telling r.t. . the social concerns are extremely valid the gaps between rich and poor in israel have 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 privatisation 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
9:12 am
be provided by the government in education health and welfare and again the cost of living keeps going up and people earning two salaries and 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 been asking the protestors and those who are leading them agree or 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 they will be conflict here. just a few minutes from now the war crimes tribunals turns to altie the hague this channel for an all good interview with all the balls needs a general love it along with genocide to really explain why.
9:13 am
making ends meet in the year of the warning this is the defining dead crisis continues to snowball monetary union that might be. ukraine's grumbling a gas bill again with the agreed price with russia threatening to end up in court kids having trouble paying but merges nationalize energy with russia's gazprom to bring costs down the kremlin insists the contracts compromised and that surely will stand its ground that if the reports. very harsh words are coming from both sides and right now the ukraine president between the court is saying that his country is being humiliated in the course of negotiations over the gas price it 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 position is that it is ready to accept any legal action because it is
9:14 am
completely confident that justice is on its side and it's ready to fight on course 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's paying for the russian gas and right now 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 government office not to gas would be russian the algerian gas problem or a purchase by moscow of the transfer to gas transportation system in ukraine this harsh stance by ukraine sent shock waves across europe many have been worried whether there would be another gas were another disruption of supplies into the repeated continent but the russian energy minister said that something like what
9:15 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 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 i think 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. it's happy birthday to the big city north eight hundred and sixty four years old in the russian capital market in big style with bets of poles follow words and a massive laser show millions are expected to take part in was turning out to be the most expensive fifty day celebrations in moscow's long history around seven
9:16 am
hundred events are scheduled across the capital with open air concerts in the parks along with nature all exhibitions in the city's public square around a little later it will be a laser show that was rushed as old as he first in speech the help and what could be a record breaker in watching him live on r.t. if you hours from now. i was following the celebrations taking place across russia's capital on our web site head to toe dot com for more most days busy day and the other news that we're covering for you that will online right now we hear from an award winning serbian film director about his plans to build a traditional russian village an ethnic settlement that has a cookie. and red squares rousing spectacular to see footage of the annual military town sewage rounds off the sunday with russian and foreign armed forces bound sharing their stuff. and. beating the
9:17 am
drums to an easy to read square. this week the style scotto military types you will see as you stick tight to the standoffs. and all its usual cold if you front row seats just. and enjoy the show. bush police are putting pressure on john west to hundred of its use of last month's riots in order to identify looting and action but media organizations are resisting the request protect editorial funders and avoid being seen as evidence gatherers feel harshly and police forces across the country approach media groups the voluntary hundred and youth of unseen footage that's called the knowledge that it would have taken a court order to force disclosure of the material to see that it just takes off in the newsroom the rest of the mizen on the mend. i was very disappointed to see
9:18 am
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 details of people who've been taking film this kind of thing then go around potentially raid their homes too so i don't know where they become is coming from on this because 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 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 picking when to quantify but it's very
9:19 am
important that both of them are doing it independently they have got thirty thousand they 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. and shows no sign of dying down his lead once again and dire warnings about the state of. here being central bank says it needs to stick to its forty five billion euro authority plan to avoid collapse its us and threatening it to stop buying our government bonds to crash on rowing economies save the entire single currency system that's flawed. we at the moment have a monetary union here in europe that has really very important structural handicaps and those handicaps we have and i would situation that has become
9:20 am
a full blown crisis that is threatening. the further existence of this the euro zone and we 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 there is so much political capital invested in this project that it's very hard not to say impossible for the politicians who are at the moment running this european concert 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 indeed a 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 but the chances are increasing day by day in my analysis it will be germany that. will put out the lights. ok
9:21 am
let's bring you some more of today's world news in brief now and a former head of the international monetary fund dominic carter has returned to france artifact side charges were dropped against him in the u.s. he was arrested in europe in may after a hey tell made him of attempted rape trials countless 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 from fine novelistic. iran's first nuclear power plant has been connected to the country's electricity grid well from the bush era has been as he began in the nineteen seventies but construction stalled until the ninety's when russian sense rashness to complete it both countries have reached an agreement that spent fuel from the plant will be sent to russia's rigi said west of concerns that iran could use the materials to build nuclear arms. tropical storm lead has reached an all in louisiana in the
9:22 am
southern u.s. state of emergency in the region as well as coastal parts of the mississippi where evacuations are taking place up to fifty cents a piece of the brain are expected over the next few days in louisiana including new orleans which is still haunted by the katrina flood dissolve regaled homes that less than a week after hurricane irene killed more than forty thousand people in the u.s. . see the vanishing cast stosh said your u.s. taxpayer military all of this admit that sixty billion dollars of your money has gone missing in the past decade we'll explain. now the victims of russia's deadliest terror atrocity happened remembered in the town of beslan over three hundred people mostly children were killed in the school this week thousands of people paid their respects to the victims of the attack which happened seven years
9:23 am
ago hundreds of billions were released in a symbolic display of the murdered children and the other innocents the terrorists held around a thousand people hostage at the school for three days without food or even. now the u.n. war crimes tribunal has missed a key piece of evidence in the trial against bolton's will suspect came about it. before a copy of an archive interview with a form of both the general which aired just a few weeks ago on this channel it was recorded short to the start really it's a massacre in ninety ninety five with thousands of muslim men and boys were killed which is not it's making serious allegations against syrian peacekeepers in both parties and it's in our reports. what was an archive of never before seen video footage of that interview before r 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
9:24 am
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 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 they hate tribunals miss 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.
9:25 am
station is available in the bosnian archives to very surprising that this video footage which could certainly be a very important moments 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 in flames and by this i mean of course this latest news that the tripe you know mr 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 being tried over the past almost two decades you could say when you look at the service side in the other non serb generals or officials that have been tried a lot of them have been given much lesser sentences and some of them have even been
9:26 am
acquitted and again this plate is if you will missing of evidence by the tribunals is not going to help in criticism that the hague is in fact bias well balanced view with iraq him not it is online in full on our website southie dot com as well as the channel again to dot com with slash. how do you lose sixty billion dollars the american taxpayer in just last intimate issue orders his secret missive that's how much money has gone missing in a decade of foreign conflicts because that commission and will sign contracts and pay the losses mounted through poor planning and fraud by contractors one federal employees but handles the death of strict spending control to pluck with cash league former iraqi transit michael o'brien of ten but he didn't waste money because it relies too much on contracts of any war that. the authors of the report say that the ratio was practically one to one contractor to soldier which is
9:27 am
absolutely there's no doubt in my mind that it's at least. 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 you wasted because things have been built that will be able to meet that they more they can't maintain in the countries like of iraq and afghanistan you have to when you build something like a power plant you have to be able to maintain an operation and the afghanis simply don't have the ability to do that so corruption we've created a corruption. a lot say dotty explores the wiles of russia's remote far race that also just came back.
