a bright birthday bash for moscow right well. take a look at this it's the moscow state university in sparrow hills which is in the southwest of the capital it's a great politician point overlooking the city but from there we're streaming the full display of the laser display and light display taking place in celebration of moscow's eight hundred sixty fourth birthday it's all online for you to r.t. dot com but let's bring you a few moments of it right now right here on our to your screen and just to let you know we see phoenix's fly across the start in the last few minutes or so as well as the entire building turned into a transformer and appear to fold up and itself it really has been an amazing spectacle it is in itself an amazing building and what we see. on it right now is something that hasn't been seen before because indeed this display is attempting to get into the guinness book of records now three million people afford to gather

to watch this. no expense spared seven hundred million dollars. this is cost from an event. and you can't probably notice it right now but the weather is very good here in moscow and that's partly thanks to terror planes being launched under into the sky to clear the the rain clouds before the event this is a system that's been specially developed by moscow authorities over the years to ensure good weather for major reforms which has been pretty good here anyway in the russian. got a little talk at the moment but just to let you know this was created by dayton at cannes now he's the man behind. the opening ceremonies of the olympic games that we saw in vancouver and sydney and he's used eighty one projects in forty lazies for just display. each a strong enough to be up to fifty kilometers in distance and five thousand farmers have been used to not seeing those at the moment but they all promise

a bit later along with something like fifty miles and pollutants that is the moscow state university building overlooking the russian capital. another say the organizers are hoping this will enter the record books as the biggest ever projection area stretching over twenty four. and a half thousand square meters and that's the surface area of that massive moscow state university building which you see in the distance. you can see great creativity spectacular effects. also see the building turn for a march chunk of ice and a quicker manic cosmodrome among many other things some have even seen a little earlier turned into some bottles official here and the kremlin in red square. sounds like we could be. playing at the moment the double o. seven if even there being cost on the side of all the university state building and

a little area right on the side of people big itself the french climber allan robust known as spiderman he joined the show and he's been that. she's making its way right up to the top of the building because made worldwide headlines in recent years by scaling many of the world's tallest buildings were up see a rocket launcher right now. because the massive crowd about three million people gathered in a massive park that around this university building calif. to back. effects of rockets being launched into the sky. spectacular scenes here all in celebration of moscow's eight hundred sixty fourth birthday and you can hear the music in the background well when they go in one thousand nine hundred seven the french composer john michels ya he conducted the first laser show in moscow i was also near this building here that was dedicated to moscow's eight hundred fiftieth birthday so let's hope they gain that

entry in the guinness book of world records. with a spectacular laser not display taking place here in the heart of moscow bring you live coverage here on r.t. and of course you can log on right now to all tito calm and watch the show continue . over the next few minutes or so. this is all see live in moscow. we'll continue now with the news this hour the un's most powerful body should demand an end to the violence in syria move all parties into 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 to continue boycotting suggestions to start a dialogue this is a call for it peter believe in scenario the brics nations will not allow this to

happen the un security council will not tolerate how its true solution is being implemented. russia sharply criticized the latest sanctions against syria calling them harmful and ineffective in solving the crisis in europe imposing an oil embargo of further steps to force president assad and the five month crackdown on protesters and u.n. claims more than two thousand people have died since the government demonstrations began in march and some including the syrian government say the reports about the conflict far from reality. show is 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 available online that you can watch of of

for loops 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 this 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. 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 them what are the very macabre macabre association especially in this particular region so then cause pain has developed sort of a practice of hurting people in stadiums and 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 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 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 when there was a break in the fighting we went to the stadium we stayed there for three days then came back on the planet 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 rolled 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 or syria is fighting and media war and it's losing it. the syrian government might have realized its mistake of banishing foreign journalists from the country a new media law has overturned that but there is no guarantee it will go a long way towards achieving serious image as portrayed on major networks even those carty syria. across in libya the new interim leaders say they're sure that one of colonel gadhafi sons who commanded an elite military brigade was killed in the past week comus gadhafi has reportedly been buried in bani walid near tripoli it's one of the last remaining strongholds of gadhafi supporters and is surrounded by rebels the loyalists heard until next saturday to surrender but the rebels say negotiations have failed to begin the final assault. reports now from the living

capital. is the name for the tried population in this area one of the biggest libyan tribes and staunch in the devotion to the embattled colonel its plate a prominent role during the current uprising he libya since the beginning of the events here in february people from these tried have been fighting against the rebels all across libya blinky's from this area have been dying for khadafy in this routings bragger and in other cities all the time ardently supporting the colonel who's provided them with the 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 rubbles managed to take the stronghold that was officially mean of 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 but rebels there is coming in here from been guys is soon but so far we haven't seen is find them here in live in capitals the situation here is very complicated the streets are literally all the armed rebel fighters actually clear agenda of the interior minister has recently claims that the national transitional council will soon start 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 his 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 himself. this is a reality of today's leave here for when the rubble stray off and march through the

country tons of conduct is captured weapons have fallen into the hands of nonprofessional fighters one of the biggest stories of was discovered at the top security prison in 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 fear of revenge from khadafi loyalists he was among the first to the scene and helped destroy the arsenal. i don't want weapons to fall into the hundreds of my songs or the youngsters i'm concerned we're all going through and we go in with god 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. when ground her real life and will kill bad guys like gadhafi then you're thor's you save of gathering up weapons through mosques i well 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 which 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 peaceful symbols appear at all be easy for many to lay down their arms when the guard has played such a prominent role throughout their beers volatile history. r t three fully libya nato has found to keep up the airstrikes from gadhafi forces saying the u.n. mandate to protect civilians in libya still stands because nations are also moving to release billions of dollars of death is frozen assets saying the money will fund the reconstruction of the country but african political analyst you know me as he thinks that nato is just gunning for its own profit. carried out over twenty thousand sorties or possibly seventy five hundred air strikes against

a country of six million people that has virtually no a difference and a very minute and very limited military capability so this is clearly not a war on the part of the libyan people against the government but a war on the part of nato part to really explore the resources in libya they had a meeting to discuss the future of libya in paris this meeting did not take place in africa it did not take place in libya it took place in europe and this is nothing but an attempt to and we'll colonize north africa and we're beginning with libya which has the most lucrative war resources in africa they have a higher standard of living in africa so this is clearly an act of forced removal and definitely regime change but up to fifteen minutes past the hour here in moscow still to come this hour putting pressure on the press. british 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.

that story sort of kind of first across to israel now a furious public have been making sure their governments in no doubt about their anger 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 other living standards and artie's paullus live reports now from the biggest rally in television. it is the climax of nearly two months of social protests here in israel the largest 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 are hearing figures of some three hundred fifty thousand that's three hundred fifty thousand intensities 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 that where you came back good that is a throwback to november the fourth ninety ninety five when the former israeli prime minister yitzhak going ever been 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 twentieth 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 discount old messages at home. and a crane is grumbling over its gas bill again with a row over the agree price with russia threatening to end up in court camps having trouble paying nationalize energy firm with russia's gazprom to bring costs down

kremlin insists the contract cannot be revised unilaterally and will stand its ground forces alexia's just as well. very harsh words are coming from both sides and right now the ukraine president 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 in 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 monopolist now to gas with the russian gas giant gazprom or a purchase by mosco of the transported 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 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 you. rain coming in the next several months or maybe starting next year by the way for more of what we're covering here on screen at r.t. you can get it all on our website so let's take you through what else is lined up with our dot com for example we hear from an award winning serbian film director about his plans to build a traditional russian village in an excitement and that's a given. and also tapping into their own oil supply the people of a small town in georgia who was shocked to find fuel pouring into their homes. as british police have been putting pressure on a journalist this week to hand over footage of last month's riots in order to identify looters in action but media organizations are resisting the request to protect editorial standards and avoid being seen as evidence gatherers call the authorities police forces across the country approach media groups to voluntarily

hand over used and unseen footage of scotland yard said it would obtain a court order to force disclosure of the material if necessary use of a journalist tony guzzling says the police run the risk of compromising fundamental press freedom. but 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 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 journalist they will come even possibly lynch camera people thinking in 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 absolute. unacceptable situation police and the media are trying to do a similar thing in certain circumstances basically when a crime is just taking 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 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 europe's debt dilemma shows no sign of dying down greece and italy and once again facing dire warnings about the state of their finances the european central bank says room needs to stick to its forty five billion euro austerity plan to avoid collapse by greece's two weeks to implement structural economic reforms or it could lose all benefits of the second bailout let's say it's too late in greek and the greek economy is affectively going down

the drain. the cat is out of the bag and to be quite honest the statement is quite close to a simple statement of the facts greece cannot supposedly repay its debt under under current circumstances the growth isn't there the debt is far too big and that simply no earthly way is going to be able to repay this debt on any plausible timescale certainly not by twenty twelve which was the original kind of hope the other european nations the divisions that are in place right the way across europe now with countries completely unable really to agree on any kind of way forward out of this mess other than the essentially try it in test even tried and failed methods they have here which essentially is give a bit of a bailout to certain countries then impose austerity measures we've got to bear in mind that this bailout isn't really about helping the greek economy and certainly not the people of greece who suffered under austerity now for eighteen months of the most dreadful kind huge cuts in public spending in services and people's wages

rising unemployment and no real prospects for the future that's what he means there the bailouts really go always about trying to support the european financial system rather than supporting say the greek economy we are certainly i think in the early stages of disintegration of europe the deep rooted structural problems inside the euro system the imbalances that built up for the last ten years so i'd be surprised to see the euro continuing in its present form given the situation we're in at the moment. well let's bring you some more today's world news in our world update this hour 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. it was arrested in new york in may after a hotel maid accused him of attempted rape charge card was put under house arrest but later the case against him was dismissed by a charge as well as having to quit the i.m.f. he faces another sexual assault allegation in france by governor christine. iran's first nuclear power plant is now putting electricity in the country's

national grid work on the bushehr facility began in the nineteen seventies but construction stalled until the ninety's when russia sense precious 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. probable stormily is reached landfall in louisiana in the southern u.s. as 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 ago comes less than a week after hurricane irene killed more than forty people in the u.s. . on what's going celebration central this sunday red square has been marching to a massive military to tutoring hundreds of armed forces performance from around the world who've been showing off their skills the russian capital's also been wrapping
