i'm broadcasting live or direct from the heart of moscow this is our team with a recount of the top stories i have read. russia urges that the u.n. security council to help end the violence suppression of anti-government protests in syria moscow has called the news of a new round of sanctions targeting syria's boy like for its inefficient in resolving the conflict. in libya rebel surrounding a want to put off his last remaining strongholds of east of tripoli with reports of one of the colonel sons being killed in the area meanwhile the time runs out for the pro-government loyalists to surrender in bani walid with opposition leaders

saying negotiations have failed. and other top stories of the week hundreds of thousands of israelis take to the streets across the country commending the government improve living standards rather than spending money on settlements and the military the protests have been the largest anti-government rallies in the history of the jewish state. of moscow is a blaze of color with fireworks and a record breaking laser shows as the russian capital celebrates its eight hundred sixty fourth birthday and the military has been taking over red square wrapping up a five day track too with russian and foreign forces are trying to get. the clock is ticking for colonel gadhafi to surrender to libya's interim government the national transitional council is now widely recognized as the country's legitimate power next to british m.p. barry gardner who voted against western intervention gives his insight into the conflict.

today i'm talking to barry gardener who's a labor member of parliament and one of the very few m.p.'s to a very serious against the intervention in libya mr gardiner thanks for talking to r.t. today now we see that the rebels if we can still call them that have practically taken tripoli and looks like he's lost the fight have you changed your mind about the libyan intervention point is the legitimacy of it and that's what i queried in the beginning and i think most people would agree that it was right to intervene on humanitarian grounds to save the people of benghazi that was never the assume it was all and whether nato should then become involved as effectively the strike force for the rebel course and that's what it's been and that of course was in my view way beyond the grief that the united nations had given and it was wrong not that we should bring about regime change a civil war in libya is something for them it's not something for the rest of the

world to intervene how do you wish it could have been different then what would you have done if you'd been in charge i think what we should have seen is we should have seen an intervention by the forces that went in to stop that attack on benghazi to neutralize gadhafi and to make sure that he then did not conduct any aggressive sorties as he had previously been doing but not that they should then become the air on the straight forward for the rebels david cameron said a few days ago that nato would lend support in libya for as long as civilians need protecting what was your reaction to that is that open ended commitment as it sounds. it was very clear in the original un resolution it was very clear from our prime minister spoke in parliament here that there would be no. occupation force that would be totally wrong one of the things that troubled me all was this billons as to whether there should be troops

on the ground and of course that wasn't expressly prohibited by the resolution but but it was something that i think all of us were very concerned about. what we saw as the rebels were going into tripoli the other day certainly on the radio programs that were broadcast in the u.k. we would go left go left go left these instructions being yelled out by what were obviously british soldiers british personnel who were leading that advance group now that i think is where we've overstepped the line there's also now talk of posting peacekeeping forces on the ground in libya i see not something you but you know decimated country with no structures for maintaining order now is that not the only way. i don't believe it is i don't believe that's why we should be

staying there if actively to establish the new regime that's that's not what this was originally but it was about humanitarian protection let me be clear i'm very pleased to see the back of gadhafi a very evil dictator and the sooner he is in front of the international criminal court the better. and i'm very glad that his days are now at an end. i wish for the new regime well but i think it's important that they establish their regime that they prove to the international community that they have the capacity not to tear themselves into different factions and to libya as a strong and unified government but that's their responsibility you supported the invasion of iraq back in two thousand and. three why is there a difference it's very different. the invasion of iraq was because. saddam

hussein had refused to reveal as he was obliged to under to seven of the united nations resolution whether or not he had got rid of the. chemical and. biological weapons that he knew he had previously and particles he refused to do that even as late as february hans blix was saying we do not know whether he still has these he listed a whole load of v.x. nerve gas mustard gas different agents chemical agents so we didn't know and he was not picked willing to allow. other countries to come to interview the scientists to see the audit trails to know whether he got rid of them or not in that situation it would have been ludicrous to have had a million strong army that was on the doorstep of iraq simply go away when the resolution fourteen forty one had given iran given him

a final opportunity to comply with his obligations how the world done that and what would have happened if he would have simply rebuilt those programs with impunity knowing that he was absolutely untouchable and the world would not do anything against it we would have then been precipitated into a far more major conflict and in the middle east between iran and iraq with devastating consequences disruption of the world's oil supplies it was a terrible situation and it was right that we took action that we did not and the fact that the united nations didn't sanction it in the in terms of a second resolution does not change the fact that fourteen forty one said it was final opportunity for him to comply well i'm a parent i have children i know that if i tell my children please come and do the washing up they don't do it and i said look i've told. once already please come to terms of pushing up if you have twelve years of that which is what we have with set

up and saying and you then come to the point where you say this is your final chance and he still does not comply then it's important that you take the ultimate sanction after what about what happens afterwards there in both iraq and afghanistan the real violence began after the dictatorships were toppled do you see that happening in libya i think there is a danger of this and what you saw was certainly in iraq was a complete failure of the occupying powers then to stabilize the situation and they let the the iraqi army keep their weapons but they disbanded the army and they said you must go back to your villages but you can keep your weapons this was insanity absolutely insanity and we must not be in a position where what we've done is created greater instability in libya that is absolutely clear. but nonetheless equally must avoid is becoming an occupation

force i think afghanistan is a very good example russia has very little experience of the camera stand as does britain of being an occupying power and you start off being a friend of someone and you end up being hated by everyone an occupying force is a very dangerous place to be and you should get out as quickly as you can what's the middle way that some would argue that nato stepping in has made this situation worse is it not their nature is responsibility to stay and clear up and that you pose the question that really is how do you get to where you want to to be and of course the answer is well i wouldn't have started from here but you're right we're now in this situation and therefore we have to give you is to ensure that we provide support for stability without our cells being that stabilizing. military force it must not be that the new government relies on the military of

britain and nato in order to maintain power they must be able to do that on their own we can give advice we can give help to help them stabilize the situation we must not assume responsibility ourselves governments in fifth that lessons were learned from what happened in iraq but given the way that this conflict is being conducted do you believe that. all was a danger for every government my view and every army to be fighting the last war. what you do is you learn lessons from one conflict which you then take on to the next but usually what you forget is that the context of the situation is different the next time and therefore the lessons that you've learnt from the previous experience may not be appropriate in the conflict that you are now fighting you mentioned the factions inside the national transitional council we now know that some of those factions are religious groups

who hope to establish an islamic state in libya. what will the attitude to that b.d. think of grace from nato and from the libyans themselves will they get a voice in this new democracy and it's not for nato or for the else to allow that it's for the people of libya to decide what they want to do it's for them to decide their own future. really in this country and. all across the world people have to learn to live. with the fact that we have different religious views different ethical views nonetheless we have to live together we have to spine some means of sharing a society sharing the country and making it work for all of us i believe the people of libya are no less capable of doing that than the people of other. of the people of the united kingdom do you think that ultimately needs his intervention will cause more trouble in the middle east

a region that is after all already deeply unstable so i think the most serious i think if nato stays there as an occupation force but i don't think that is going to happen i think the really troubling conflicts in in the middle east at the moment are within syria i think if you look at bahrain and the way in which saudi arabia went into bahrain to prop up the oligarchy there against the wishes of the people these are the flashpoints in the middle east that still have not burst asunder that is going to help. once people have scented revolution once they have seen that freedom and a better life is possible i don't think they will go back under the yoke of the talk or see very god no thank you very much.

jewish state. moscow is a blaze of color with fireworks and record breaking a laser show as the russian capital celebrates its people under sixty fourth birthday and the military has been taking over red square wrapping up a five day tattoo with the russian and german foreign forces marching together. now let's see who's lighting up the sports world next with natasha. hello welcome to sport here in archaeopteryx stories first icing on the cake russia two girls to their medal tally on the final day of the world though for extra ships with wins in the hammer throwing and women's eight hundred meters. in while you say in bold leads to make it to a world record breaking victory in the fall by one hundred meters relayed finally battle the battle championships. and also russia completing the rugby world cup for

the first ever time this year r.t. caught up with the school before they flew to new zealand. and let's begin with the five weeks where the world finals concluded on sunday with russia claiming two more girls on the closing date but he has sort of another surprising the odds by beating a world champion caster semenya in the women's eight hundred meters the russian corkey one minute fifty five point eight seven seconds samantha had to settle also for a second behind and katie and janet is going to bronze. i have an incredible feeling inside me i can't find any words to express them i'm not tired though my result was fantastic i have three more competitions this season but i won the most important one two world championships. and earlier that you always see on the top of the team in the women's hamel throwing out the morning seven to seven meters and thirteen centimeters edging betsy hard love germany by more than

a metre chinese van sushant completed the podium. and jamaica claimed the final gold of the championships in style so it's the only world record of the tournaments and demands for one hundred meters to remain the same ball leading the course and to a thirty seven point zero four second victory finishing where head of second placed bronze and sinking some live isn't. the hard to believe. yeah. that's. it it's. done. in football russia have to be thailand in the euro two thousand and twelve qualifying game to guarantee themselves and stop support in group that schools held an open training session on sunday two days before the all

important match statistics are on russia's side edged. in their first meeting away from home the upcoming moscow clashes in moscow again for the visitors as a defeat could deny their qualifying hopes the hosts are fully fit but smith. is sidelined through suspension also play slovakia on the seventh and eleventh thought october respect. the russian rugby players are looking forward to their first ever world cup match clash against the united states on the fifteenth of september richard from paul flick caught up with the school before they have a two new zealand. the wait is almost over thirty players who fly to new zealand who have spent the last three months training intensively and gaining vital much experience how a birth of a c a team if the place is club rugby in england he's delighted but russia can finally start to do their talking on the rugby pitch it's been hanging over as the you know if the idea of the world cup that's just coming closer

a day last month as. a review was really just a bit of a refill it's finally come however before they leave they spoke to the media about their hopes expectations ahead of what will be the greatest moment so far in the sporting careers russia one of the tournaments minnows of the north hams and winger he just glad to have made it couldn't even dream of it when i was younger yeah playing for russia and play for us at the world cup stage so i now hear that the last three years it has been a dream that i've travelled and literally have paid for this away to russia still have a long way to go until they can even think of being able to compete on a little playing field with the likes of new zealand and australia however the president of a russian rugby union has to thank his country finally made it to the finals will help boost the profile of the sport he sees his first term ever we want to fight

for the rugby world cup it's a great achievement for russian team for russia. because never before with just such an opportunity to play with their. most famous strongest teams of course if we're going to be easier to play with or for sure to maybe meet some of these themes. for the players for the professional rugby it's a great experience and russia played their first match of the tournament on such end of fifteen against the united states of america. given they are in a group of australian. on the island it's the game would be americans russian coaching staff will be targeting is be able to become the first good beaton's to do to win the mansion first will come the long form a black legend sean fitzpatrick is doing to see russia have made it to the world camp and he says the whole of new zealand is buzzing ahead of the tournament which kicks off from friday the ninth of september because the cup was not here is it

almost on the head of the. science in new zealand some sense as a nation. as four million people talk about a stadium of four million people and they're looking forward to welcoming the rugby world despite a disappointing tour of united kingdom recently where russians also games against world club sides of the russian campus heinie even if they lose all four games in new zealand the most important thing is but they have become the first players to represent their country and the third biggest sporting event in the world which moncrief late r.t. should. be now and jorge lorenzo has won the san marino groundbreaker staying compassion for this year's title case is stellar however retains the overall a despite finishing third there and so on his blue yellow bus the pills it and seasonally down first and then held on to win ahead of compact with the draws would be still mind to set place you can use our track so we want to finish for spain in

the silly and spaniards were also winners in the rest of the categories of the day the round still hot stone is accomplished. by races still to go in twenty eleven next stop is that fair of course. and finally the most high profile professional athletes usually have a skilful agent to thank for their exposure and big money deals the ice hockey agent association vice president in that he has been shedding some light on his profession it was a gorski explains. huge contracts global grand indorsements and thousands of screaming fans and ice hockey all stars of the world really do have it all but despite being phenomenally talented individuals they would have a hard time making such an impact on the biggest stage without someone pulling the strings behind the scenes you know idol shock or i never expected to become a sports agent but now he's become one of russia's trailblazers in the business he manages such mega stars as you get the market in so you get going char so there's

a gene that i became an agent by accident i lost my job in one thousand one thousand nine hundred struggling to meet hands meet a friend of mine called me one day and said he got word from the new york rangers that a sports agency is pursuing me i didn't jump the gun and let those guys pursue my service he's eventually the company's representatives to mess with me and i took up the job. shut off is well aware of the trials and tribulations his clients these daily he himself had a twenty three year playing career in cold spartak moscow after that. i've got some colleagues who never played and they think a hockey about green is not necessary to do their job and i tend to disagree as one must be able to evaluate an athlete's current level of performance and his potential that's what ultimately determines a player's price and while managing mile can go in charge and other big names would be the top entries on resume no agent would want to miss

a transcendent up and coming talent ready to blossom into a star you're pushing as it is that i would say i represent between forty to fifty players in total including those born in one thousand nine hundred four and one thousand nine hundred five i try to keep in touch with all my clients and go to their matches if possible obviously there's a conflict of interest frequently because i can't attend all my players games and the same time in. the competitive big money business can bring out the worst in so major it's not sound going as far as to steal the diamond in the rough that others have found. cost says he experienced those shady dealings first hand and believes a lack of sporting knowledge is driving his colleagues underhanded tactics years ago. one agent police simply told me he would take players from me once his current crop of stars retire this practice is widespread in russia while the united states for instance has a code of conduct which limits such action if an athlete is already represented by

one agent and no other agents can recruit him. however it was a shock of claims he knows a few american agents who find ways to cheat players out of their hard earned money so that everything he sees this is i've never heard of agents taking money from players in russia but it's happened in the states before i knew that on very prestigious in was a victim of such a scam and they also tried to trick alexander ovechkin and the exam there are a lot of sense parents are the ones who often choose their child's agents for the future and should make inquiries about every agent the players themselves though are much tighter knit group and help each other out when the going gets tough molecule among those benefiting from the smooth n.h.l. transition by teaming up with going shark. here now keane has an easier time adjusting because going charm was already on the team max talbot's and sidney crosby were all sort of clients playing in pittsburgh at the time now he moved into surgeries how use and stayed there for three and

a half years so gone char was like a big brother to guinea for a while he paid the bills help them set up a bank account among other things. seeing your favorite athlete on the list of the richest people in their sport the cover of a new magazine or endorsing a product is the result of a good agent's work but those men like will shut off also clearly have the ability to become great advisors to declines while allowing the players to blossom in their respective leaves. and undergo r t. that was the latest this fall stay with us for the main news at the top of the hour. emission free credit patience three cents for charges free from h m m's free. three stooges free.
