the latest sanctions against syria calling the home full and then effective in solving the crisis group's imposing an oil embargo and warned of first steps to force president assad and the five month the crackdown on protesters the u.n. claims more than two thousand people have died their demonstrations began in march but someone creating the syrian government say the reports about the conflict off off from reality i mean they're going to shows among the few international journalists on the ground here's what she found. a 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 manipulate manipulated and there have been reports about that are available online that you can watch of the footage that was taken in bahrain and said to be taken in hama and it's showing the same footage and different stations get different
9:02 am
backgrounds 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 so 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. of the city which supposedly came under fire from
9:03 am
warplanes and navy ships and spoke to the refugees to find out what happened. some people were 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 there aside from the usual patrol . 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 lead 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. i felt like we were lied to the heart of the . syrian authorities have long been insisting armed groups are behind the unrest in
9:04 am
syria and it's them who starts shooting first you station it's time to bloodshed those statements are all but ignored by the media. syria is fighting a media war and it's losing it. the syrian government might have realised its mistake of banishing foreign journalists 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 even those quite syria. across in libya the rebels are reportedly assaulting one of the last remaining strongholds of cannel gadhafi supporters the town of bani walid southeast of tripoli the loyalists have been given until next saturday to surrender but these talks broke down a few hours ago down here remains on the run of a defiant statements rallying his forces and then urging them to. be up. it's
9:05 am
airstrikes on loyalists and his leaving to unfreeze the dollar. to help libya's new leadership the national transitional council already has its hands full trying to restore order in tripoli where thousands of armed fighters with an unclear agenda are roaming the streets and as artie's grip a national reports 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 scary. this is a reality of today's libya for when the rebels triumphant march through the country tons of gadhafi is captured weapons have fallen into the hands of nonprofessional fighters one of the biggest stories was discovered at the top security prison in
9:06 am
southern tripoli where inmates were released after nato bombed the area of the dude was 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 what was the rule of the homes of my sons or i'm concerned we're all 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 living kids have already developed a fascination for the weapons of war but. when i go out i have a real life and will come back to guys like nothing in your thor as you say the start gathering up weapons through mosques and while police are back on the streets the young gunman demonstrate their readiness to. give it back to the students they ask a system which many here are afraid that this addiction may have
9:07 am
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 that all be easy for many to lay down their arms when the gun has played such a prominent role throughout libya's volatile history riven osha r.t. tripoli libya on a his ongoing bombing campaign in libya is said to have caused hundreds of civilian casualties but the u.s. led alliance admits that only a few innocent people have been killed and there are american politician bill van auken 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 that taken place on libya's borders both in tunisia and egypt now what will nato to in its day i mean it says
9:08 am
it's protecting civilians yet has been leading an air war against civilians its 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 quite 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 a humanitarian venture to protect civilian life. this is been a fraud from the outset it's hardly a new excuse for the united states i think you could go back to eight hundred 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. still to come this hour putting pressure on the press shipping flex their muscle for the media telling these groups they have
9:09 am
a response policing to hand over riot and siege of leaves and to help make. across israel a few areas public have been making sure their governments and no doubt about that anger with the knowledge is demonstration in the country's history there's a show protests have been swelling fitzy month against the high cost of housing corruption an opening stand. reports from the biggest rally in tennessee. it was 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 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 with people here demanding that the netanyahu
9:10 am
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 for the area that the you know one of the news turbans we're hearing is where were you surprised by the food that is a throwback to november the fourth nine hundred ninety five when the former israeli prime minister yitzhak rabin ever been 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 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 but 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 more money be spent on social programs not settlement building and militia operations alessa goes on
9:11 am
baskins been telling our city. 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 second gaps between rich and poor only after the united states we have a problem of increasing privatization a philosophy that our prime minister and hears two 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 or 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 greer's 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
9:12 am
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 is 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. just a few minutes from now all the war crimes tribunals turns to altie the hague this channel for an all kind of interview with general well paid luggage. the genocide will explain one. hundred making ends meet in the year of the warning this is the deepening 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 firm with russia's gazprom
9:13 am
to bring costs down the kremlin insists the contracts can't be revised 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 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 moscow's 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 would plays up to four hundred u.s. dollars which is a market price for one thousand cubic meters of gas and it wants
9:14 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 either a marriage or of the ukrainian guest one of us not to guess 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 worried whether they would be another gas were another disruption of supplies into the repeal 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 by plan 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
9:15 am
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. eight hundred and sixty four years old in the russian capital marking it in big style with festivals on the massive laser show millions are expected to take all the while turning out to be the most expensive fifty day celebrations in moscow's long history around seven hundred events are scheduled across the capital with concerts and appalled along with major all the exhibitions in the city's public square round a little later it will be a laser show that well with russia as old as he was in. what could be a record breaker you can watch it head live on in a few hours from now. and we're following this the liberation taking place across
9:16 am
russia's capital on our web site head to dot com for more fishy day and the other news that we're covering that right now we hear from an award winning serbian film director about his plans to build a traditional village in essex settlement that has a good deal. on red square as rousing spectacular as the footage of the annual military town sewage rounds off the sunday with russian and foreign armed forces bansuri messed up. beating drums to an easy to read square. the sweet spot scotto military took to. the stick turkey was. called you front row seats just. enjoy the show. british police are putting pressure on journalists to hyundai the footage of last
9:17 am
month's riots in order to identify looters in action but media organizations are resisting the request protect editorial standards and the boy being seen as evidence gathering. if your harshman police force him to cross the country approach media to voluntarily hand news that unseen footage of scotland yard said it would have ten a court order to force disclosure of material. that has taken them this means one less of my being fundamental. 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 raid their homes too so i don't know where david
9:18 am
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 crowd turning on the journalist they will come again even possibly link 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 want to quantify and it's very important that both of them are doing it independently they have got thirty 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. there she is no sign of dying down once again facing di warnings about the fate of its final there being central bank
9:19 am
says it needs to stick to its forty five billion euro austerity plan to avoid collapse it's also threatening to stop buying up to put pressure on rowing economies face the entire single currency system. we at the moment have a monetary union here in europe that has really very important structural handicaps and to those handicaps we have now a situation that has become a full blown crisis that is threatening. the further existence of this eurozone we don't have the conditions met to have a structurally healthy monetary union and unless we do same thing 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 if not to say impossible for the politicians who are at the moment running the european council to give give up on
9:20 am
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 we will put out the light. i can it's bring you some more of today's world news in brief now on the former head of the international monetary fund dominic. has returned from exile to sex assault charges were dropped against him in the u.s. he was arrested in may after a hotel maid accused him of attempted rape trials khan 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 from by novelistic police.

iran's first nuclear power plant has been connected to the country's electricity grid welcome of bush era visitors he 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 an agreement that spent atomic fuel from the pla and will be sent to russia's reduce it west of concerns that iran could use the materials to build nuclear arms. tropical storm has reached fall in louisiana in the south of us as a state of emergency in the region as well as coastal parts of mississippi where accusations are taking place up to fifty centimeters of rain expected over the next few days in louisiana including new orleans which is still haunted by the katrina flood dissolve. less than a week after hurricane irene killed more than forty people in the u.s. . see the pentagon vanishing cast stuff.
9:22 am
on the floor u.s. taxpayer military order to admit that sixty billion dollars of real money has gone missing in the past decade will explain. now the victims of russia's deadliest terror atrocity have been remembered in the town of beslan well over three hundred thirty people but 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 billions were released in a symbolic display of the murdered children and the all the innocence of the terrorists held around a thousand people hostage at the school for three days without food. the u.n. war crimes tribunals has missed a key piece of evidence in the charlie against suspect rock came about it. for a copy of an archive interview with the form general which aired just
9:23 am
a few weeks ago on this channel it was recorded shortly after the supreme it's a massacre in one thousand nine hundred five with thousands of muslim men and boys were killed it is not it's making serious allegations against u.n. peacekeepers. and they say now reports. what was an archive never before seen video footage of that interview before r t published it some 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 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 terrorists and fundamentalists bases where our villages and towns were attacked now
9:24 am
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 really that the hague tribunals missed this type of first off because it was filmed in one thousand nine hundred five just after the serbian it's a massacre which is one of the atrocities that malott it 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 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 it's eighteen years of existence the tribunal has faced harsh criticism about it being biased it's 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 and sometimes and by this i
9:25 am
mean of course this latest news that the tribunals 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 court has issued have all been against serbs and when you look at. who is been tried over the past almost two decades you can say when you look at the serbs side in the other non serb generals or officials that have been tried a lot of them have been given much lesser sentences by and some of them have even been acquitted and again this late is if you will missing of evidence by the tribunals is not going to help in criticism that the hague is in fact bias with an interview with iraq came out it is all mine in full on our website as well as the channel it. flashed on. ok how do you lose sixty billion dollars american taxpayers question to me that you ordered his he would miss it that's how
9:26 am
much money has gone missing in a decade of foreign conflicts the senate commission on wartime contracting play the losses mounted three pool planning and fraud by contractors on federal employees the panel suggested going to trick spending control to plug the cash league form iraq contracts on michael o'brien says the pentagon but he didn't waste money because it relies too much on contracts or in the wars they. are the authors of the reports say that the ratio was practically one to one contractor to soldier which is absolutely there's no doubt in my mind that it's at least that and it says that america can't fight its wars without contractors anymore so much reliance has been placed on them by the department of defense and it's it's not just money that's being wasted one dollar one dollar in six the estimate was wasted squandered lost more could be wasted because things have been built that won't be able to me that
9:27 am
they were they can't maintain them in countries like iraq and afghanistan you have to when you build something like a power plant you have to be able to maintain an operating in the afghanis simply don't have the ability to do that so corruption we've created a corruption. well ups a dot explores the wilds of russia's remote far a stop off that just as you may.
