it's all online for you to dot com but it's bring you a few moments of it right now live here on our t.v. on screen. and just to let you know we see phoenix's fly across the facade in the last few minutes or so as well as the entire building turned into a transformer that appeared to fold up in itself it really has been an amazing spectacle it is in itself an amazing building and what we see. on it right now it's something that hasn't been seen before because indeed this display is attempting to get into the guinness. record it's now three million people of course to gather to watch this. no expense spared several hundred million dollars. this is cost from the defense and the call probably notice it right now but the weather is very good here in moscow and that's partly thanks to ten airplanes 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 events but what has been pretty good here anyway in

the russian have. gone a little dark at the moment but just to let you know this was created by david activities now he's the man behind. the opening ceremonies of the games that we saw in vancouver and sydney and he's used eighty one projectors and forty lasers for this display and each is strong enough to beam up to fifty kilometers in distance and five thousand forwards to be used to we're 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 save your minister hoping to support and to beat the record books is the biggest ever projection area stretching over twenty five and a whole thousand square meters and that's the surface area of that massive mosque and state. nicholas nickleby which you see in the distance. as you can see great

creativity spectacular effects. also seen a building turn into a chunk of ice and a question of magic cosmodrome among many other things some have even seen a little of it turned into some bottles official here and the kremlin in red square . sounds like we call it the golden flame playing at the moment that there were no seven. being called on to the side of the university state building and a little earlier right on the side of the building itself the french climber allan robust known as spider man he joined the show and he's been that she's making its way right up to the top of the building of course made worldwide headlines in recent years by scaling many of the world's tallest buildings were bought see a rocket launcher right now. as we hear the massive crowd of up to three million people gathered in a massive parkland around the university building counting down to back to. effect

so 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 nine hundred ninety seven the french composer michel job he conducted the first laser show him all sky i was also near this building here that was dedicated to moscow's eight hundred and fifty 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 two don't call them watch the show continue. over the next few minutes or so. this is a live in my. we'll

continue with the news this hour the un's most powerful body should demand an end to the violence in syria move all parties into dialogue 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 repeats 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. russia sharply criticized the latest sanctions against syria calling them harmful and ineffective in solving the crisis in europe imposing an oil embargo to 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 but some including the syrian government say the reports about the

conflict far from reality. is among the few international journalists there and this is what she found a. 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's even been the implication that some of the images we're being shown have been digitally 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 drubbed 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 of latakia now according to the opposition forces and to some of the palestinians when they got to the stadium their ideas 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 with alba very macabre macabre association especially in this particular region that uncle satan 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 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 gone the fire 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 lined to. syrian authorities have long been insisting rogue 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. syria is fighting a 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 ban 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 is reportedly being 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 of failed are about to begin the final assault or it is more of an ocean of reports now from the libyan capital. is the name for the tried populate in this area one of the biggest lee bin tribes and a 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 the past weaponry in the past and actually khadafi himself as well as his sons have all the time in thought to hide in that area that's why many here on the ground are saying that if the rubbles managed to take this stronghold that was officially mean and of the colonel and the regimes for the national transitional council have recently repeatedly been claiming that police safe tripoli is now secure but rebels the areas are coming in here from and guises 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 for the armed rebel fighters with actually a clear agenda of the interior minister has recently claims 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. mohamed 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 which. i didn't even notice until my friend told me that my food was bleeding he pulled the trigger by mistake he was himself. this is a reality of today's libya for when the rubble stray off and march through the country tons of khadafi 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 at the scene

and helped destroy the arsenal. i don't want weapons to fall into the hands of my songs or the youngsters i'm concerned where our country will be going 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 i grow up and have a real one and will kill bad guys like gadhafi then you're thor's you sayville soon start gathering up weapons through mosques and while 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 stone which many here are afraid that this addiction may have a painful withdrawal and the gun has become one of the symbols of the libyan rebels and freedom for a new country though people want more peaceful symbols but fear that all 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. original r.t. tripoli libya. nato is vowing 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 gadhafi frozen assets saying the money will fund the reconstruction of the country but african political analyst you know me as a kid we think that nato is just gunning for its own profit. carried out over twenty thousand sorties approximately seventy five hundred airstrikes against a country of six million people that has virtually no in our defense and a very minute and very limited military defense capability so this is clearly not a war on the part of the libyan people are going to the government but a war on the part of nato 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 me or colonize north africa and they'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 about a 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 riot footage of looters to help make arrests. that story sort of come but first across to israel now a furious public have been making sure their government in no doubt about their anger with the largest demonstration in the country's history these social protests have been sweating for two months against the high cost of housing corruption and other living standards and artie's paul asli reports now from the biggest rally interview. 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 dropping by 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 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 surrogates we're hearing is where were you surprised by third that is a throwback to november the fourth one thousand nine hundred five when the former israeli prime minister yitzhak been 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 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. ukraine is grumbling average gas bill again with a row over the agree price with russia threatening to end up in court camps having trouble paying but one merges nationalize energy firm with russia's gazprom to bring costs down kremlin insists the contract cannot be revised unilaterally and will stand its ground ortiz alexy of the show has more. very harsh words are coming from both sides and 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 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 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 there or marriage or of the ukrainian gas canopus nafta gas with the russian. or purchased by moscow of the transport gas transportation system in ukraine this harsh stance voiced by ukraine sent shock waves across europe many have been awarded whether they would be another gas were

another disruption of supplies in 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 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 with the gas war of two thousand and i will not repeat again even if there will be serious gas conflict and possible suspension of supplies do 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 let's take you through what else is lined up with our daughter home for example we hear from an award winning serbian film director about his plans to build

a traditional russian village in an ethnic settlement and that's a given. and also tapping into their own oil supply the people of a small town in georgia who were shocked to find fuel pouring into their homes. as british police have been putting pressure on the 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 request to protect editorial standards and avoid being seen as evidence gatherers for 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 because of the journalist tony 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 demand details of people who've been taking film this kind of thing and 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 and 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 absolute. unacceptable situation police and the media are trying to do a similar thing in certain circumstances particular 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'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 europe's debt dilemma shows no sign of dying down greece and italy are once again facing dire warnings about the state of their finances european central bank says room needs to stick to its forty five billion euro austerity plan to avoid collapse while greece is too weak to implement structural economic reforms or it could lose all benefits of the second bailout but experts 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 supply 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 repaying this on any plausible time scale certainly not by twenty twelve which was the original kind of hope that 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 tried and tested and tried and failed methods they've heard here which essentially is give a bit of a bailout to certain countries then impose austerity measure it's 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. the bailouts really were 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 the euro the deep rooted structural problems inside the euro system the imbalances they've 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
