russia urges the u.n. security council to help an end of the violence suppression of anti-government protests in syria. in libya rebels have surrounded one of copies last remaining strongholds of east of tripoli with reports of one of the colonel's sons of being killed in the area. and other top stories of the week hundreds of thousands of israelis take to the streets across the country demanding the government improve living standards rather than spending money on supplements and of the military. moscow is a blaze of color with fireworks and a record breaking laser show at the russian capital celebrates its eight hundred sixty fourth birthday.

with today's news in recounting at the top stories that shape the past week this is archie live from moscow i'm john thomas glad to have you with us the u.n. most powerful body should demand an end to the violence in syria and move all parties into a 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 a pizza believe in scenario that brics nations will not allow this to happen the un security council will not tolerate how its series of lucian's are being implemented that russia has sharply criticized the latest sanctions against syria calling them harmful and ineffective in solving the crisis and europe's imposing an oil embargo

and warned of further steps to force president assad to end of the five month crackdown on protesters and un claims that more than two thousand people have died since the anti-government demonstrations began in march but sun including the syrian government say the reports about the conflict are far from reality are. among the few international journalists there here's 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 available online that you can watch of the footage that was taken in bahrain and said to be taken in hama and 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 piece of palestinian refugees in the coastal city of latakia the stadium in like that he 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 do 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 curbing large numbers of people into stadiums carries them would alba very macabre macabre association especially in this particular region that i'm just saying has developed sort of a practice of hurting people in stadiums and and 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 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. and we felt like we were lying to. the syrian authorities have long been insisting rogue armed groups are behind the unrest in syria and it's them who started shooting first during demonstrations prompting bloodshed those statements are all but ignored by the media there. syria

is fighting a media war and it's from those in it or. the syrian government might have realized it's a 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 courtsey syria. across in libya the interim leadership claims colonel gadhafi is youngest son who commanded military brigade was killed in the past week commies khadafi was reportedly has reportedly been in bani walid a loyalist stronghold one hundred fifty kilometers east of tripoli the town is now surrounded by rebels who are said to begin a final assault it comes after revolutionary leaders said on sunday negotiations over a peaceful handover of the town have failed financial reports from tripoli. is the name for the tribe population in this area one of the biggest lead been tried and

staunch in their 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 tribe anyway leads have been fighting against the rebels all across libya volunteers from this area have been dying for kentucky. and in other cities in all the time ardently supporting the colonel who's provided them with past weaponry in the past ammunition and actually 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 will officially mean the aunt of the colonel and the regimes for the national transitional council have recently repeatedly been claiming their police safe tripoli is now secure and rebels there is coming here from benghazi soon but so far we haven't seen is find them here in little 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 claimed that the national transitional council will soon start to try to bring these people under the control but as we can see here they're not quite successful so far here's my report about that. you know how much is a libyan rebel he got a bullet in his ankle fighting against gadhafi soldiers in tsushima tripoli but with his shots coming from his own side. i didn't even notice it until my friend told me that my food was bleeding he pulled the trigger by mistake it was himself. this is a reality of today's leave. for when the rubble stray off and from the country turns of kids off is captured weapons have fallen into the hands of nonprofessional fighters one of the biggest stories was discovered at the abu salim top security

prison in southern tripoli where inmates were released after nato bombed the area have to do with the father of three young boys refuses to appear on camera still fear of revenge from gadhafi loyalists he was among the first to the scene and helped destroy the arsenal. i don't want weapons to fall behind some of my songs or the youngsters i'm concerned where our country will be growing with blood this is a very dangerous thing it's not a toy but with a country in a war with arms it looks like live in kids have already developed a fascination for the weapons of war. when i grow up and how reliant and will kill bad guys like gadhafi then you're thor's you savior of started 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 them as soon as they ask a student 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 a fear that albeit is if only to lay down their arms when the guard has played such a prominent role throughout libya's volatile history. we're even otieno azzi fatefully libya well it's been just two weeks since tripoli fell to the rebel forces but the interim government is already being criticized by its own allies a key rebel military commanders are calling on the leaders of the national transitional council to resign for being acts khadafi loyalists 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 i mean it's not much of a revolution if you have former officials from the ex and from the government that is just close to the certainly you would see any kind of division like you says in

a scenario where revolution is not fully realized and that seems to be the situation in libya any kind of revolutionary movement is an alliance of convenience but in the end now you end up with the shah masood in afghanistan once said in the one nine hundred eighty s. in the winter war against the soviets first we kill the russians to kill each other in libya they go there and they would think if we killed the gadhafi regime and now they're going to kill each other still to come this hour. ukraine turns up the heat and it's a gas a row with russia threatening court action over prices plus. the international war crimes tribunal turns to our t.v. for a copy of an interview with genocide suspect right corner luggage where he made serious accusations against you and these people in the ninety's balkans conflict.

and israel and now where hundreds of thousands of people took to the streets across the country and what has been called the biggest anti-government rally in the history of the state where protesters are demanding social reforms calling on the government to lower the excessive costs of living are his policy or it was in tel aviv for us with the latest developments. 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 and fifty thousand x. three hundred fifty thousand in ten cities waiting 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 slogan is we're hearing is that we were you came back

to do that is a throwback to november the fourth one thousand nine hundred five when the former israeli prime minister yitzhak been there had been was assassinated people say where you've been so of course people here are saying where are you now with people really wanting to come to the streets and make a change and make their voices heard and yet instead of concentrating on domestic problems israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu has been focused on the international stage on september the twenty eighth palestinians will go to the united nations to declare a state and 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 messages at home. israel is also facing a rift on the global stage as turkey prepares to challenge the gaza blockade and the international court of justice it comes amid a dramatic souring of ties between of the once close allies. has expelled israel's ambassador and cut all military ties with the state over its refusal to apologize

for last year's gaza flotilla raid. peacekeepers were killed in an attack recently leaked un report concluded that israeli commandos used excessive force when boarding the ship stressed that the israeli blockade of gaza was illegal turkey says that the findings are. not binding and take the case to behave israeli foreign political analyst. says losing such an important ally as turkey deals a serious blow to television. this is exactly the situation of the ongoing negotiations of the past month between israel into a kid with a merely communication to avoid and unfortunately really the idea of the spring presented an opportunity for israel to mend its a relation with turkey it with turkey moving for me its alliance with syria and more coordination with the us a defect that such an agreement between israel and turkey when there was a very close with eventually not rage is quite

a blow to is there little foreign policy especially in the mountain which is really the expecting a very difficult diplomatic development the un the whole nation of it but a syrian state so now with. let's one for an individual in a very important fred a muslim country and nato member an e.u. outlook and very important regional player that is now the last four years that for quite some time ukraine is grumbling over its gas bill again with a rally over the agreed price with russia threatening to end up in court is having trouble paying the mergence nationalized energy firm with russia's gas to bring costs down the kremlin insists the contract cannot be revised unilaterally and will stand its ground or he's alexy or shocking reports. very harsh words are coming from both sides and right now the ukraine president b.p. amoco which 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 be there or merger of the ukrainian gas monopolist natural gas with the russian girl joining us from war approaches by mosco all 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 to be incontinent but the russian energy minister said that something like what happened in two thousand and nine will not happen this time but there is still enough time to find a proper compromise solution besides russia is no longer so strongly dependent on the best 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 rim fire plan 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 serious gas called leak and possible suspension of supplies to you. rain coming in the next several months or maybe starting next year he's alexia cesky reporting from a queue of ukraine now still to come this hour putting pressure on the press. british police flex their muscles and the media telling news groups they have

a responsibility to hand over why and footage of the looters to help make arrests. moscow's celebrate been celebration central the sunday red square has been marching to a massive military tattoo drawing hundreds of armed forces performers from around the world who've been showing off their skills the russian capital is also been wrapping up its eight hundred sixty fourth birthday with a stunning light show or she's an italian other cover is following the festivities . the celebration sofa moscow's eight hundred sixty fourth anniversary i have been and is with the since laser show project tents outside moscow state university the oldest university in russia is said to make into the guinness book of records all see the celebrations of moscow's they coincide with the last day hold this. festival an annual festival of military forces from all around the world that takes place on threats were essential to where most to balance from fourteen countries

gathered here today to grade alongside each other and it's a famous and strange scene your dream it is to become a headliner all of that is an annual event for the third time in a row for the third time she's movement this is truly magnificent very bright sounds very loud so our performances he said truly amazing up a cheesy floor thousands of europe's most lights and guests on fifteen course and forty minutes your pieces of their own countries to see what their own but if you have missed it you can always push it's on our website. has been following the five days. this is military orchestras parades here in central russia of course it's grades a happy peaceful and beautiful occasion when military bands gathered for the purpose of music making and there's a new kind of cover reporting for us and they're now moving on europe's debt the limo shows no sign of dying down italy and greece are once again facing dire

warnings about the state of their finances the european central bank says it needs to stick to its a forty five billion euro austerity plan to avoid collapse while greece has two weeks to implement structural economic reforms were could lose all benefits of the second bailout but experts say it's too late and the greek economy is effectively 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 lose or believe repaid step under under current circumstances the growth isn't there the debt is far too big not simply no earthly way it's going to be able to repay this on any causal time scale certainly not by twenty twelve which was the original kind of hope of 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 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 serious suffered under austerity now for you know 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's there to means they're the bailouts really are always about trying to support european financial system rather than supporting say the greek economy we 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 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. 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 avoid being seen as evidence gatherers for the authorities police forces across the

country approached media groups urging them to voluntarily hand over all footage use or unused 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. and i was very disappointed to see that david cameron in the emergency debate about the riots was actually saying and i quote the media has a responsibility to hand over pictures and i think this is absolutely appalling thing to say that's the sort of thing you would expect in a police state where the police can go down to the independent broadcasters and just demand footage details of people who've been taking film this kind of thing they 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 anything 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 and the media are trying to do a similar thing in certain circumstances 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 as we've been recapping the week's top stories let's bring you some of today's world nudes. the former head of the international monetary fund dominic strands can return to france on sunday after sex assault charges were dropped against him in the us he was arrested in new york in may after a hotel maid accused him of attempted rape transcona was put under house arrest but

later the case against him was dismissed by a judge as well as having to quit the i.m.f. he faces another sexual assault allegation in france by novelist tristan benny on. iran's first nuclear power plant is now putting electricity into the country's national grid work on the bush era facility began in the one nine hundred seventy s. 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. tropical storm lee has reached landfall in louisiana in the southern u.s. there is a state of emergency in the region as well as it coastal parts of mississippi where evacuations are taking place up to fifty centimeters of rain are expected over the next few days and louisiana including new orleans which is still haunted by the katrina flood disaster in two thousand and five the gale comes less than a week after hurricane irene killed more than forty people in the u.s. and the u.n.

war crimes tribunal has missed a key piece of evidence in the trial against the balkans war suspect that iraq on luggage it's ask r t for a copy of an archive interview with the former former bosnian serb general which aired just a few weeks ago on this channel it was recorded shortly after the chevron it's a massacre in one thousand nine hundred five where thousands of muslim men and boys were killed making serious allegations against u.n. peacekeepers in bosnia artes and he said reports. well it was an archive that never before seen video footage of that interview before r t 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 zone so you can see the severity of these claims and how they could possibly be very important evidence and again shocking really that the hague tribunals missed this type of first off because it was filmed in one thousand nine hundred five just after the serbian it's a massacre which is one of the atrocities that malott it is is being accused of why he's standing trial in the first place and second of all it was filmed by a western t.v. station is available in the bosnian archives a very surprising that it is video footage which could certainly be a very important moment some very important material in the trial dismissed by the

tribunals and it's eighteen years of existence the tribunals has faced harsh criticism about it being biased its fiercest critics go on to say that it's a political show not a court of law and this is going to not weaken those claims and by this i mean of course this latest news that the tribes you know mr what could be very important evidence and part of the fact the reason i should say and what these critics base their facts on is that seventy percent of the indictments that the court has issued have all been against serbs and when you look at. who is been tried over the past almost two decades you could say when you look at the serbs side and then all there are known serb generals or officials that have been tried a lot of them have been given much lesser sentences and some of them have even been acquitted and again this late is if you will missing of evidence by the tripe you know is not going to help in criticism that the hague is in fact biased archies and he said our reporting for us of there now that interview with iraq on what it is
