russia's view outlined by the foreign minister during a meeting with his brazilian counterpart on sunday. we strongly believe it's unacceptable to instigate the syrian opposition to continue boycotting suggestions to start a dialogue this is a call for a piece of the libyan scenario the brics nations will not allow this to happen the un security council will not tolerate how its resolutions are being implemented. small russia has sharply criticized the latest against syria calling them harmful and ineffective in solving the crisis europe's imposing an oil embargo would want to further steps to force president a five and a five month crackdown on protesters the u.n. claims that more than two thousand people have died since the anti-government demonstrations began in march but some including the syrian government say the reports about the conflicts are far from reality r.t. if you can this is among the few international journalists on the ground here she

found. 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 nipple 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 drugged 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 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're 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 navy 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 gone the fire did break out between the army and unknown gunmen so some five thousand palestinians left their homes fearing for their own. we wanted to

leave so that our kids wouldn't hear the gunshots we hear in our house and when there was a break in the fighting we went to the stadium we stayed there for three days then came back. so did two thousand refugees only to realize there was no air and navy attack taking place on the city. and we felt like we were lying to the heart of the. syrian authorities have long been insisting armed groups are behind the unrest in syria and it's them who starts shooting first. prompting bloodshed those statements are ignored by the media. syria is fighting the media and it's. the syrian government might have realised it's 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 though

. syria. and across in libya the rebels have surrounded one of the last remaining strongholds of colonel gadhafi supporters the town of bani walid southeast of tripoli the lawyers have been given until next saturday to surrender but rebel negotiators say they expect the standoff in the town to be resolved within the next twenty four hours when all these we have a national is in the libyan capital for us as calls live to her now here in the rebels' around tripoli some two weeks ago now assisted by nato airstrikes what's taking so long to round up the remaining get african oil. well is theory known as benevolent southeast of the capital tripoli some two hundred kilometers from the place where we are now has all the time been considered as good as his main stronghold. played this is also is the name for the tribe population this area one of the biggest lee bin tribes and staunch and they devotion to the embattled colonel its plate. prominent role during the current

uprising he libya since the beginning of the events here in february people from these tribes have been fighting against the rebels all across libya volunteers from this area have been dying for khadafy in misrata things bragger and in other cities they've been all the time ardently support colonel who's provided them with the best weaponry and the best ammunition and actually khadafi himself as well as his sons have all the time in thought to hide in that area and that's why many here on the ground are saying that if the rubbles manage to take this stronghold that will officially mean the end of the colonel and the regime's fall so as you can understand what's right now going on some two hundred kilometers from the capital tripoli could indeed be considered as the rubble so pinal the rebels the size of battle no one can say for sure how much time which will take the rebels to freedom

but the new government ministry has recently claimed that they expect to take it within the next day or two at the same time we can expect that they spittle would not be easy because recently conduct his son safe on a slum has appeared on t.v. claiming that they would never surrender and mobile to fight the. rebels had been preparing for this for a long time with nato helping them clean the path towards the city bombing since is iran they have a leader for quite a long time so we can admit that they spied. is a very important for the rabbits and this is actually the size of battle meanwhile the council have recently claimed that they've called for all people still in the areas controlled by held by gadhafi forces to come over to its side.

promising there will not be any revenge for their safety would be guaranteed for them back to you guys and ray libya's new leadership the national transitional council that you referred to that has still not actually moved to tripoli yet to officially assume the role of the new government is a dull thud leaves something of a power vacuum in the capital. yet is the situation here in the libyan capital is very complicated the streets are literally for the full of armed people armed rebel fighters with actually and a clear agenda the national transitional council have recently repeatedly been claiming that police say police now say. that the national transitional council the rebels there is coming here from benghazi soon but so far we haven't seen is find of them here in live in capital so this is quite doubtful that is now safe and

secure. meanwhile many here are concerned that. these rebel fighters would be very hard to be controlled meanwhile the interior minister has recently claimed that the national transitional council will soon try to bring these people under they control but as we can see here they're not quite successful so far here's my report about that. my hammer 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 triumphant 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 fear in revenge from qaddafi loyalists he was among the first at the scene to help destroy the arsenal. i don't want weapons drawn into the hands of my sons or the youngsters i'm concerned were our country will be growing with goggles this is a very dangerous thing it's not a toy but with the country in a war with arms it looks like libyan kids have already developed a fascination for the weapons of war but. when i grow up i have real life and will kill bad guys like nothing then you're thorough as you say they will soon start gathering up weapons through mosques and while police are back on the streets the young gunman demonstrate their readiness to. will give it back to them soon as

they ask a system 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 all of it is a for many to lay down their arms when the guard has played such a prominent role throughout libya's volatile history. regional r.t. tripoli libya now some of the nato countries that helped alst colonel gadhafi are now rushing to secure lucrative oil deals in libya and it seems rebel leaders are all too willing to offer their allies a juicy reward but one antiwar activist believes it's robbing the libyan people of their nation's riches. we're in a situation now where the old regime appears to be over in libya and any aspiring new regime should be spending its time listening to the desires of the ordinary

people in libya nor. listening to the lectures which i reckon they're going to be getting from the world's great powers it strikes me that this is like something out of the nineteenth century where the big imperialist colonial powers are dictating to. what is basically a leadership they themselves have selected about exactly who's going to get what france is going to get thirty five percent of the oil no doubt britain will be putting in a big climb for another third or so other countries will be following suit and all right just leave the meeting is being chaired by the two main protagonists the british prime minister and the french. leader what is going on we were told this was a war that was being fought for humanitarian reasons it's in fact turned into what is basically a nato take over the country as far as i can see. still to come this hour putting pressure on the press the british police flex muscles at the media telling news

groups that they have a responsibility to hundreds or why it's pretty just looters to help make arrests. across israel a fear is public have been making sure their governments no doubt about that go with the largest demonstration in the country's history the social protests have been swelling for two months against the high cost of housing corruption and open living standards. reports from the biggest rally in tel aviv. this 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 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

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. now one of the new slogan is we're hearing is where we use a pain but food that is a throwback to november the fourth one thousand nine hundred 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 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 the to now who 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. or the people are demanding more money be spent on

social programs not settlement building and military operations unless a gash in baskin's 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 privatization a philosophy that our prime minister and here's 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 or to 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 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. now in just a few minutes from now the war crimes tribunals. the hague self channel for now with. general rock came that it's he's on trial for genocide when explained why. ok ukraine. and again with the rally that the queen threatening to end up in court care is having trouble paying its nationalized energy fan with russia's gas problem it's a bring costs down the kremlin incest the contract compromise you know that chilean 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 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 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 either

a marriage of the ukrainian gas monopolist not to gas with the russian gas giant gazprom or a purchase by most 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 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 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 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 and sixty four years old in the washington capitals marking it in big style with festivals and a massive laser show millions are expected to take part in what's turning out to be the most expensive city day celebrations in moscow's long history around seven hundred events are scheduled across the capital with a concert in the pogs along with major odd exhibitions of the city's public squares rally at all fellatio will be a laser show like no other with all this university due to be sensational in this world could be a record breaker you can watch him live on aussie in just a few hours from now. ok we're following the celebrations taking place across russia's capital of course on our website do you have to alter dot com for more city day and the other news that we're covering for you online right now as we hear

from an award winning serbian film director about his plans to build a traditional russian village in an ethnic settlement and heads are given a. red squares rousing spectacular c thirty age of the annual military do which rounds off this sunday with russian and foreign armed forces of balance showing their. beating drums to an easy to read square. this week despite scotto military took to. the stick to make sure the standoff. and r.t. dot com did you front row seats just. and enjoy the show. police are putting pressure on journalists to hand over thirty eight of last month's riots in order to identify news his inaction but media organizations are resisting the request to protect editorial standards and avoid being seen as

evidence capitol. police forces across the country approach media groups to voluntarily handle used and unseen footage the scotland yard said it would attain a court order to force disclosure of the material if necessary investment journalist tony gosling says the police run the risk of compromising fundamental platform 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 crowd 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 particular in 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. ok let's bring you some of today's more world news right now and the former head of the international monetary fund dominique is. retired from. assault charges were dropped against in the u.s. he was arrested in it may alter

a hotel maid accused him of the ten to the great strauss kahn was put on the 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 a knife and set for assault allegations of fraud it's i know his place to. iran's first nuclear power plant is now putting electricity into the company's national grid well. the gallon divines and seventy's but construction stalled on to the ninety's with the russians that specialist who says both countries have agreements that suspend atomic fuel from the plant to russia to reduce western concern that around could use the materials to go nuclear. and still moving you has reached. to solve the u.s. 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 design stuff the gale columns less than a week and i mean news of people in the u.s. . the victims of russia's deadliest terror atrocity have been remembered in the town of beslan where over three hundred thirty people died mostly children were killed in their school this week thousands of people paid their respects to the victims all the attack which happened seven years ago hundreds of buildings were released in a symbolic display to the murdered children and the other innocents who died the terrorists held around a thousand people hostage in the school for three days without food or water. the u.n. war crimes tribunal has missed a key piece of evidence in the trial against the balkans war suspect. it's also for 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 strip when it's

a massacre in one thousand nine hundred five when thousands of muslim men and boys that were killed it shows not it making a serious allegations against u.n. peacekeepers in bosnia and these are now reports. what was an archive never before seen video footage of that interview before archie 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 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 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 was missed 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 in flames 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 if 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 that 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 business plate is if you will missing of evidence by the tribunals is not going to help in criticism that the hague is in fact biased more than interfere with the right came out it is online in full on our website home as well as on our you tube channel you cheap dot com slash right i'll be back with a recap of today's top stories and this week's headlines after a very short break so don't go away.
