in the. rush hour is rallying the u.n. security council members to demand an end to the violence in syria it's to try and prevent the five month after arising from descending into another libyan scenario. meanwhile the libyan rebels are poised to cross the last pockets of resistance from telegraph to supporters with time running out for the loyalists to lay down arms. but as thousands of rebel fighters with a clear agenda are brave the streets of tripoli concerns grow at leap year if you turn eighteen to try to time bomb from the libyan capital tripoli. and ukraine turns up the heat in its gas route with russia threatening court action against moscow over prices but the kremlin is defending the previously agreed

contract. and with pictures as international law i mean this work together in harmony red square is ringing to the sound of military music right now where moscow's annual to two is now wrapping up as i say live pictures from the center of moscow. with a look back at the past week's top stories and the latest developments and this is . the un's most powerful body should demand an end to the violence in syria a move all parties into one that's 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 groups is going to new boycott the suggestions to start a dialogue this is a call for

a sheet of believe in scenario the brics nations will not allow this to happen the un security council will not tolerate how its resolutions are being implemented that it leaves russia sharply criticized the latest e.u. sanctions against syria calling them harmful and ineffective in solving the crisis europe's imposing an oil embargo and want to further steps to force president assad and the five month crackdown on protesters during claims more than two thousand people have died since the anti-government demonstrations began in march and some including the syrian government say the reports about the conflict are far from reality. i was among the few international journalists there and here's what she had. 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 nipples

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 on different occasions with different backgrounds if you leave iraq in 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 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 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 it has to realize that herding large numbers of people into stadiums carries somewhat of a very macabre macabre association especially in this particular region so i'm

hussein has developed sort of a practice of hurting people in stadiums and then i think committing mass executions we went to the part of the city which supposedly came under fire from what planes in the ships and spoke to the refugees to find out what happened. some people walking around the neighborhood yelling there will be shelling from sea soon and everyone has to get out i didn't go anywhere just stayed in my house i can see the bay from my window and there was nothing in there aside from the usual patrol boats still gunfire did break out between the army and government so some five thousand palestinians left their homes fearing for their lives. 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 to london so did two thousand refugees only to realise there was no air

and navy attack taking place on the city. i felt like we were light to. the syrian authorities have long been insisting armed groups are behind the unrest in syria and it's them who starts shooting first street it's prompting bloodshed those statements are all but ignored by the media. ahead with syria is fighting in media and it's losing it over. the syrian government might have realized 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 achieving serious image as portrayed on major networks in those quiet sea area. across in libya the new interim leaders say they're sure that want to come are going to happen soon command and military brigade was killed in the past week. reportedly being buried in bani walid near tripoli it's one of the last remaining strongholds of developing supporters and is now surrounded by rebels the

loyalists are being 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 or if an ocean or is in the libyan capital for. lead is the name for the tribe populate in this area one of the biggest li bin tribes and staunch in the devotion to the embattled colonel it's played a prominent role during the current uprising he libya since the beginning of the bands here in february people from these tribe anyway leads have been fighting against the rebels all across libya volunteers from this area have been dying for khadafy in the things bragger and in other cities they've been all the time ardently supporting the colonel who's provided them with past weaponry in the past and actually could i think in south as well as his sons the timing thought to hide in that area that's why many here on the ground are saying that if the rubbles managed to take the stronghold that would officially mean the end of the colonel

and the regimes for the national transitional council have recently repeatedly been claiming that tripoli is safe to police now secure. rebels there is coming here from benghazi soon but so far we haven't seen is find of them here in live in capitals the situation here is very complicated the streets are literally all the rebel fighters with actually a clear agenda of the interior minister has recently claimed that the national transitional council will soon try to bring these people under their 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 inside tripoli but with his shot coming from his side which i have a lot i didn't even notice until my friend told me that my food was bleeding he

pulled the trigger by mistake he was still securing himself. this is a reality of today's libya for when the rebels triumphant march from the country tons of cut off is captured couples have fallen into the hands of nonprofessional fighters one of the biggest stores was discovered at the abu salim top security prison in southern tripoli where inmates were released after nato bombed the area of the dude with the father of three young boys refuses to appear on camera still fear of revenge from gadhafi loyalists he was among the first at the scene to help destroy the arsenal. i don't want weapons to fall of the hands of my own songs or the youngsters and concerned where our country will be going with goggles this is a very dangerous thing it's not a toy but with the country it was 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. in your thoughts you say. gathering up weapons through mosques i hope police are back on the streets the young gunman demonstrate their readiness to. will give it back to the sudanese i 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 peace for singles but fear of all of it is if for many to lay down their arms when the guard has played such a prominent role throughout libya's volatile history. we're even osha azzi fatefully libya it's just two weeks since tripoli fell to the rebel forces but the interim government's already being criticized by its own allies a key rebel military commanders calling on the leaders of the national transitional council to resign a b x a good half a loyalist but all such arest dead ted rall i should say says

a new civil war is brewing i have some sympathy for ishmael alsa loudly and his call to get rid of all the former regime figures i mean it's not much of a revolution if you are former officials from the from the government that has just been deposed certainly not you would see any kind of division like that uses in a scenario where a revolution is not fully realized and that seems to be a situation in libya any kind of revolutionary movement is an alliance of convenience but in the end are you end up with a sham a soon afghanistan once said in the one nine hundred eighty s. in the war against the soviets first we kill the russians next retail each other in libya they go kill there and they were thickly killed that they got the regime and now they're going to kill each other still to come this hour here on r t putting pressure on the press which is police flex their muscles at the media telling news

groups they have a responsibility to hand over right footage of looters to help make arrests. a story sort of come to first across to israel now where a furious public have been making sure their government's no doubt about their anger with the largest demonstration in the country's history social protests have been swelling for two months against the high cost of housing corruption and other living standards. reports now from the biggest rally in tel aviv. this is the climax of nearly two months of social protests here in israel the launches that this country has ever seen now for weeks organizers have been touting 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 the people here saying that it is simply too expensive to live in israel. now one of the new slogans we're hearing is where you came but good there is a photo back to november the fourth ninety ninety five when a former israeli prime minister gets that plane everybody was assassinated people say where were you then of course people here saying where are you now with people really wanting to come to the street and make a change and make their voices heard and yet instead of concentrating on domestic problems israeli prime minister 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 sitters and trying to convince countries not to support the palestinian move instead of listening to the discounted messes at home. and israeli quality campaign you did open home or told r.t. that people there are demanding more from their government to be

a social. security provider. people are demanding social justice even in a time of political and political tension and even that took place in. the country people are questioning that the government that this is. the economy is slowly sheen so so it matched girls called if you will and so little for the many i think people have seen and you have them in. creates no hope in this function in every live government needs to function on the political of. in terms of the political process they negotiate with the palestinians no horse in only fear is in perceive it and also in the in the economic and social way now you see it go to them in their trying to tell people that work is all those what

they can give them that's the best they can get and in doing nothing order to improve the life of people this is what brings people in the street into the street they're asking for something years. in a few minutes from now the war crimes tribunals turns to us all t. hey sauce this channel for archive interview with former bosnian serbs are not recommend that it is on trial for genocide explaining why as of late. and so much on young people are abandoning the remote places where they grew up in search of a better future leaving behind deserted towns and villages. first ukraine's crumbling over its gas bill again with a row over the agreed price with russia threatening to end up in court can something trouble paying its nationalized energy firm with russia's gazprom to bring costs down a common contract cannot be revised even naturally and will stand its ground. just

as this report. very harsh words are coming from both sides right now the ukrainian 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 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's 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 gas one office natural gas would be russian gas giant gazprom or purchased by mosco of the transportation gas transportation system in ukraine this harsh stance by ukraine sent shock waves across europe many have been worried whether they would be another gas were another disruption of supplies and to be incontinent 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 korean pipeline is due to be completed pretty much soon the south stream pipeline will also be available in the next few years so i guess 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. moscow's red square has been marching to different tune for the past few days the massive annual military to three has been taking place drawing hundreds of armed forces performance from around the world to parade in the capital's iconic center an artesian italian overcover is at the closing ceremony. it is a very loud and bright gathering of military orchestras from all around the world forty countries a presence on red square today for the sixth day of the annual spa skits our festival that's the names out so one of the kremlin sourish it's a very it's our that's actually overlooking the spectacular show with us right now together with over seven thousand people gathered on the main square over more skate today for the show and many more while watching the live transmission always

a request to protect editorial standards and avoid being seen as evidence gathered through the authorities across the country approach media groups to voluntarily hand over used and unseen footage that scotland yard said it would obtain a court order to force disclosure of the material if necessary. this was a journalist who says the police run the risk of compromising fundamental press freedom. i was very disappointed to see that they did 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 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 even possibly lynch camera people thinking in it 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 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 twenty two minutes past the hour here in russia in moscow let's bring you some more of today's world news in our world out there the former head of the international monetary fund dominique strauss kahn has returned to france officers from charges were dropped against him in the u.s.

was arrested in new york in may after a hotel maid used them of attempted rape strauss kahn is put under house arrest but later the case against him was dismissed by a killer as well as having to quit the i.m.f. he faces another sexual assault allegation in france by novelist this thing done. iran's first nuclear power plant is now putting electricity into the country's national grid work and pushing facility began in the one nine hundred seventy but construction stalled until the ninety's when russia sent specialists to complete it both countries have agreed that spent atomic fuel from the plant will be sent to russia to reduce western concerns that iran could use the materials to build nuclear arms. or so i was up at this hour tropical storm lee has reached landfall an hour in the southern u.s. is a state of emergency in the region as well as coastal parts of mississippi where evacuations are taking place up to fifty eight centimeters of rain are expected over the next few days in louisiana including new orleans which is still haunted by the katrina

disaster in two thousand and five the gale comes less than a week after hurricane irene killed more than forty people russia's youth being a part of the big cities to make their living but the rural towns they leave behind a dying out as a result an r.t.c. going to set off has more on the generation draining to hear how the few who stay behind a cope with no hot water or stable electricity supplies the nearest pharmacy post office and grocery store or miles a week for thirteen or some solo or even bat is not the most difficult thing to cope with it's having no leaders they know that they used to be so many families living here but then some people die some little everybody's gone now even the roads. it used to be a successful tiny agricultural community were everyone knew each other's names and celebrated birthdays together that young has been here all her life but now nearly

all that's left of the village are her memories. this used to be a collective farm back in saw good 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 there's a hearty 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 before the great harvests. and i don't know you all of us here this is first thailand well you can stick a paul in the soil here and it will have peppers growing on its ones i call them tomatoes on the other sure some of the cultural facilities are still left in some areas but mostly the lawns 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 were treat anymore wife in the countryside is no longer attractive especially for young people who are fleeing to cities looking for a better life when you are a medium you know it's not the village which is becoming extinct it's the youth reasons for self motivation people are leaving their villages for big cities 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 they're only a drop in the ocean and aren't enough to motivate the youth to work and live in believe communities and as many try to survive in cities looking for work the countryside is dying out a little some traces of life still exist here in their mean and be too long before
