harmony as the center of moscow bringing to the sound of military music of moscow's international annual tattoo wraps our top stories this hour. minute back at the past week's top stories and the latest developments this is a very warm welcome if you just joined us un's most powerful body should nandan end of the violence in syria move all parties into donald that's russia's view outlined by the foreign minister during a meeting with his presuming 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 pizza believe in scenario the brics nations will not allow this to happen the u.n. security council will not tolerate how its true solutions are being implemented that

russia has sharply criticized the latest essentials 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 the u.n. claims 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 conflict are far from reality he said in english there was among the few international journalists there and this is what she found. mass murder humanitarian 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 is even the implication that some of the images we're being shown have been digitally manipulated and there have been reports of a little online that you can watch of. that was taken in bahrain and been said to

be taken in hama and it's showing the same footage and on different stations with different backgrounds digitally dropped 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 attack in 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 savings carries them with other very macabre macabre association especially in this particular region so then hussein has developed sort of a practice of hurting people in stadiums and then i don't committing mass executions we went to the part of the city which supposedly came under fire from

warplanes and navy ships and spoke to the refugees to find out what happened. some people walking around the neighborhood yelling there will be shelling from city soon and everyone has to get out i didn't go anywhere just stayed in my house i can see the bay from my window and there was nothing in there aside from the usual patrol boats still gunfire did break out between the army and unknown gunmen so some five thousand palestinians left their homes fearing for their lives. we wanted to 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. we felt like we were lying to.

the syrian authorities have long been insisting armed groups are behind the unrest in syria and it's them who starts shooting first during demonstrations prompting bloodshed those statements are all but ignored by the media here or syria is frightening media and it's losing it over. the syrian government might have realized its mistake of banishing foreign journalist from the country a new 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 see syria. across in libya the new interim leaders say they're sure that one of colonel gadhafi sons who commanded military brigade was killed in the past week come as good as he's reportedly been buried in bani walid near tripoli it's one of the last remaining strongholds a good half a supporters and is surrounded by rebels the loyalists had until next saturday to surrender but the rebels say negotiations a failed and they're about to begin

a phantom assault what is more of an ocean reports now from the libyan capital. lead is the name for the tribe population in this area one of the biggest leave in 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 vans 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 supporting the colonel who's provided them with past weaponry in the past and actually could 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 rebels manage to take this stronghold that would officially mean the aunt of the colonel and the regimes for the national transitional council have recently repeatedly been claiming the police say tripoli is now secure and rebels there is coming here

from been guys is soon but so far we haven't seen is find of them here eleven capitals the situation here is very complicated the streets are literally full the armed rebel fighters with actually clear agenda of the interior minister has recently claimed that the national transitional council will soon start 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. the hammer is a libyan rebel he got a bullet in his ankle fighting against gadhafi soldiers inside tripoli but with the shots coming from his own side. i didn't even notice until my friend told me that my from was bleeding he pulled the trigger by mistake he was himself. this is a reality of today's libya for when the rebels stray off and march from the country

tons of cut off is captured weapons have fallen into the hands of nonprofessional fighters one of the biggest stories was discovered at the obviously in top security prison in southern tripoli where inmates were released after nato bombed the area of ado who's the father of three envoys refuses to appear on camera still fear of revenge from khadafi loyalists he was among the first at the scene to help destroy the arsenal. they don't want weapons to fall into the hundreds of my sons' or the youngsters i'm concerned where our country will be growing with blood because a very dangerous thing it's not a toy but with the country it was without arms it looks like libyan kids have already developed a fascination for the weapons of war. when i grow up and have a real one and will kill bad guys like with nothing then you're thorough as you say they'll soon start gathering up weapons through mosques our police are back on the

streets the young gunmen demonstrate their readiness to. will give it back to them as soon as they ask a student but many here are afraid that this addiction may have a painful withdrawal and the girl has become one of the symbols of the libyan rebels and freedom for a new country though people want more peace for singles a fear of all be easy for many to lay down their arms when the gun has played such a prominent role throughout libya's volatile history. we're even off now artsy hatefully libya. it's been 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 but being gadhafi loyalists and political satirist ted rall sees a new civil war brewing i have some sympathy for the lobby and his call to get rid of all the former regime figures and it's not much of

a revolution if you have the former officials from the exit from the government this is just and closed certainly you would see any kind of division like that uses in a scenario where revolution is not fully realized and that seems to be the situation of any kind of revolutionary movement is an alliance of convenience but in the end where you end up with shah masood in afghanistan once said in the ninety's in the war against the soviets first we kill the russians next to kill each other in libya they go kill their idea of effectively kill the kid off the regime and now they're going to kill each other ten minutes past the hour here in the russian capital still to come for you here at r.t. putting pressure on the press. british police flex their muscles of the media telling news groups they have a responsibility to hand over raw footage of looters to help make arrests. first cross-ways around are furious public had been making sure their governments

and no doubt about their anger with the largest demonstration in the country's history a social protest have been sweating for two months against the high cost of housing corruption and other living standards bodies policy reports now from the biggest rally being held in. it is the climax of nearly two months of social protests here in israel belongs as the 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 under 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 speakers as well as artists have been addressing the crowd the rallying call remains made of social justice with people here demanding that the netanyahu government change its focus away because of security to issues of social class does that people here are saying that it is simply too expensive to live in israel. now

one of the new slogans we're hearing is that where were you came back good that is a throwback to november the fourth ninety ninety five when the former israeli prime minister gets back in everything was assassinated people say where were you then of course people here saying where are you now the 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 settlers and trying to convince countries not to support the palestinian move instead of listening to the describe told messes at home. israel is also facing a rift on the global stage as turkey prepares to challenge the goals of blockade at the international court of justice it comes amid a dramatic sorry of ties between the once close allies. expelled israel's ambassador and seven all military cooperation everett's refusal to apologize for

last year's gaza flotilla raid which killed nine turkish activists on friday the un investigation published a report into the attack and found that israeli commandos used excessive force when boarding the ship but it concluded the blockade of gaza is legal turkey says the findings are not binding and believe the hague should rule the matter it's really from policy analyst dr nimrod coren says losing such an important allies turkey will be deeply felt. this is the exactly the situation ongoing negotiations of the past month between israel and turkey with american mediation it day to avoid him and fortunately for you basically the idea being presented an opportunity for israel to mend its relations with turkey with turkey moving forward the lanes with syria and more coordination with the us. saw the fact that such an agreement between israel and turkey well there was a very close with eventually not preach it's quite a blow to is there regional foreign policy especially in the manner in which he is

or with expecting a very difficult a diplomatic development with the u.n. record mission of a palestinian state so now with. let's one for an individual in a very important for arab and muslim country in nato member an e.u. applicant a very important player that is a last four years there for quite some time. if you minutes from now at the war crimes tribunals turns to us so r.t. the hague has asked this channel for an archive interview with former bosnian serb general ratko milan it is on trial for genocide of explaining why shortly. ukraine's crumbling over its gas but again with a row over the agreed price with russia threatening to end up in court can something trouble paying but it's nationalized energy found with russia's gazprom to bring costs down criminon says the contract cannot be revised you know that's funny and will stand its ground. as this report. very harsh words are coming

from both sides and right now the ukraine president getting an accord which 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 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 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 the 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 when

opel is not to gas with the russian girl joining us from war approaches by mosco of the transportation 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 in g.d.p. and continent but the russian energy minister said that something like what happened in two thousand and nine will not happen this time that there is still enough time to find a proper compromise solution besides russia is no longer so strongly dependent on the gas transportation system in ukraine to deliver its gas supplies to europe we know that several new pipelines are being built i right now the north stream pipeline is due to be completed pretty much soon the south stream pipeline will also be available in the next few years so by the gas war of two thousand i will not repeat again even if there will be serious gas conflict and possible suspension of supplies people. rain coming in the next several months or maybe starting next

year. red square has been watching to a different chain for the past few days the massive annual military to tos been taking place there during hundreds of armed forces performers from around the world to parade in the capital's iconic center and artie's their turn in africa was at the closing ceremony. right now we can see behind me russian marines military orchestra is getting ready for their performance it still loud sounds bright show here on the rest where it's night's military bands from all over fourteen countries performing alongside each other one that's war and front of seventy thousand gathered here for this exact color fans and even more hope watching live performances on television which you also can do by looking on our web site r.t. to us from where you can see live pictures of this military show together with the previous four days of the spot gets our festival national festival that's named after one of the towers of the kremlin good three bands from asia to europe from

north america from africa appraising alongside each other and one of the headliners of this year's show is a prominence in french singer and very much here she's opens the previous three shows here in the central russia and kept so as well adams or you can see the faces of both young and not so young viewers here in red square mesmerized by what's happening all red square and it is truly a very peaceful and beautiful occasion the military bands from different countries gathered in the central russian capital for the peaceful purpose of music making and this day also coincides with moskos birthday today moscow turns eight hundred and sixty four years old and celebrations take place throughout the russian capital there are over seven hundred of them including open air picnics and concerts and submissions as well you name it this parade will be followed by a huge laser show project it's almost a state university the oldest university of moscow. many are saying that it may

make it to the guinness book of records. beating drums to a new tune red square. this week just ask or tell military to fulfill it. the stick tackles standoff. and r.t. dot com gets you front row seats just go and enjoy the show. for more and more coverage here at r.t. you can always log onto that website r.t. dot com it's taken three what else is not there at the moment it's online all the time we hear from an award winning serbian film director about his plans to build a traditional russian village an ethnic settlement in. was one of the moment tapping into their own oil supply the people of a small town in georgia who were shocked to find the view pouring into their homes

those stories of r.t. dot com. british police have been putting pressure on journalists this week to hand over footage of last month's riots in order to identify looters in action but media organizations are resisting the requests to protect editorial standards and avoid being seen as evidence catalyst for the authorities police forces across the country approach media groups to voluntarily hand over used unseen footage and scotland yard said it would obtain a court order to force disclosure of the material if necessary investigative journalist tony gosling says the police run the risk of compromising fundamental press freedom. but 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 camm is coming from on this as far as i know we live in a liberal democracy and we've got a free and independent press the other thing is ultimately what's going to happen in a demonstration situation if you're going to have the crown turning on the journey . they will can't even possibly knowledge camera people thinking 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 and the media are trying to do a similar thing in certain circumstances particularly crimes just taking place and it's very important that both of them are doing it independently they have got forty thousand nato oldest 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 will be a horrendous thing if it ever takes place. twenty two minutes past the hour here in

russia let's bring you some more of today's world news in our world update the former head of the international monetary fund dominic strauss kahn has returned to france after a sex assault charges were dropped against him in the u.s. he was arrested in new york in may after a hotel maid accused him of attempted rape was put under house arrest but later the case against him was dismissed by the judge as well as having to quit the i.m.f. he faces another sexual assault allegation in france by novelist. iran's first nuclear power plant is now putting electricity into the country's national grid work on the bushehr facility began in the one nine hundred seventy s. but construction stalled until the ninety's when russia sense specialists to complete it both countries have agreed that spent atomic fuel from the plant will be sent to russia to reduce resting concerns that iran could use the materials to build nuclear arms. probable storm lee is reached landfall in louisiana in the southern u.s.

there's a state of emergency in the region as well as coastal parts of mississippi where evacuations are taking place up to fifty centimeters of rain are expected over the next few days in louisiana including new orleans which is still haunted by the katrina flood disaster in two thousand and five if you will comes less than a week after hurricane irene killed more than forty people in the u.s. . we went to war crimes tribunals missed a key piece of evidence in the trial against balkans war suspect. it's asked r.t. for a copy of an archive interview with the former bosnian serb general which just a few weeks ago i want this channel was recorded shortly after the threat and it's a massacre in one thousand nine hundred five where thousands of muslim men and boys were killed shows monoglots making serious allegations against un peacekeepers in bosnia artes and he has this report. well it was an archive that never before seen video footage of that interview before our t.v. 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 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 from where our villages and towns were attacked now malott it also goes on to say that he believes the u.n. was smuggling weapons into demilitarized shows 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 this 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 mulatto chooses 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 archive some very surprising that his video footage which could certainly be a very important moments and very important material in the trial dismissed by the trying to you know it's eighteen years of existence to try to you know has faced harsh criticism about it being biased it's fierce his 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 sightings and by this i mean of course this latest news that they try to you know missed what could be very important evidence and part of the fact the reason i should say and what do 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 has been tried over the past almost two decades you could say when you look at the serb side and then all there are known to serve generals or officials that have been tried

a lot of them have been given much lesser sentences find some of them have even been acquitted and again this latest if you will missing of evidence by the trite you know is not going to help in criticism that the hague is in fact biased. well that interview with him and outages online in full on our website dot com as well as you choose a channel that set you choop dot com slash t twenty six minutes past the hour here in the russian capital and we're just a few moments away from hopefully seeing me moscow skies light up for the capitals record breaking birthday bash and the spectacular lasers and fireworks will be here shortly with but i'm not here on r.t. so stay with us for that spectacular coverage. of.
