for the national transitional council have recently repeatedly been claiming that police say tripoli is now secure but the rebels there is coming here from and guises soon but so far we haven't seen is find of them here if you live in capitals the situation here is very complicated the streets are literally all the armed rebel fighters with actually a clear agenda of the interior minister has recently claimed 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. prefer the reporting there are two weeks since the libyan capital fell the interim government's already being criticized by its own allies key rebel military commanders calling on the leaders of the national transitional council to resign from being executed a few loyalist political satirist ted rall says a new civil war seems inevitable i have some sympathy for else to. 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 from the government that has just been deposed certainly not you would see any kind of division like that in a sense 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 you end up with shah masood in afghanistan once said in the one nine hundred eighty s. in the war against the soviets first we kill the russians next we kill each other in libya they have killed there and they have effectively killed the khadafi regime and now they're going to kill each other. russia says the un should immediately call on all sides in the syrian conflict to stop violence and start talking russia's foreign minister says president bashar al assad has already implemented reforms aimed at solving the conflict and sergey lavrov also admitted not all syrian opposition members want to engage in talks with the government of caution

against encouraging protesters to stay away from negotiations last week that you oppose that oil embargo against syria and one of the further steps of a five month crackdown didn't stop as i read i wish to report sanctions seem more likely to affect the syrian people that the forty's. and the dealer is a master barber those small hughes shop was floor until it all ended in the snip. customers that would come from a forest when the kilometers away from damascus but now the flow has come down along first came the unrest then the crackdown then the west's quickly stepped in with sanctions to survive is to put the economic pressure on the chief the political. the bug. to help the people of syria to achieve something just a strange at first all major credit card transactions were stopped earlier this month but that mainly affected foreign tourists because syria runs its own payment

system and those with syrian accounts didn't feel the pinch however the e.u. and the us are tightening their grip by imposing oil embargo on damascus so will that have any probable effect on the people here. of course sanctions will have a negative effect on syrian economy it's a diversified economy with a stable death which gives it a certain immunity against these sanctions. and this is not just government gloss in the face of imposed adversity syrian opposition figures are also unconvinced but for a different reason. government have chosen their path and no matter what measures are taken against them they continue down that road. so anxious are sold. supersize weapon to hit the regime where it hurts but syrian album is say there are two belong to tool and it's the people who will suffer the most when you are talking about the oil the oil for that's its course.

this is really a people. who are thinking but while the power dealers of the west in syria trade insults and blows for syrian workers like nigeria the daily battle is to keep his modest livelihood together while hoping for the best. i believe business will pick up again will pull through even r t damascus syria. so had for you this hour demanding a future release demand their government focuses on social justice rather than security as people take to the streets in the biggest protest here. and as america's top commander in afghanistan bids his final farewell to the military will look at the problems he's leaving behind. issues that so much. i mean if you would like to have a real treat. the right to read the great financial contraction millions lost their jobs but the rich of only gotten richer should the rich pay.

and looting shops hundreds have since been given stiff sentences in already overcrowded jails where the prime minister has called tough love but as our reports the system could be at breaking point. prisons in england and wales have never been full nearly eighty seven thousand inmates are jammed in a record high just one and a half thousand short of maximum capacity now the government's hardline response to the recent riots across england means those spaces a disappearing fast we're now looking at literally what we can pack into the sardine tin and i think that's very unwise and we may well see the disturbances in the streets simply transfer to the prisons almost a thousand writers are in custody so far and there's plenty more to come the police are aiming to charge three thousand with seventy percent being put behind bars at this rate they won't be any space left by most prisons in britain wandsworth was at

bursting point even before the riots just forty five people short of its maximum capacity of one thousand six hundred sixty five but that's already fifty percent over its recommended limit and two out of three prisons current league see this certified safer. limits inmates double up in cells smaller the nine square meters sharing an open toilet most prisons are in desperate need of upgrade wandsworth was built in the victorian period times literally stood still but nothing escapes austerity here especially when it costs forty five thousand pounds a year to house an inmate a prison building schemes been reversed despite prison and numbers doubling in the last two decades staff and now outnumbered four to one the man has actually only fractionally increased by a couple of percent but we're expected to do the same job of rehabilitation in such

difficult circumstances in effect what you actually do you just warehouse prisoners and i don't think that is the answer to society's problems the government thinks it is encouraging tougher sentences to deter more writers like this man who got sixteen months for stealing just two scoops of ice cream but others fear that the cramped conditions this will only fuel re-offending if you send people to prison all of it and suggests that it is it is not by any means the most effective way of reducing reoffending we know that certainly with young people and with people on short term prison sentences up to seventy percent of people with a friend within twelve months of coming out now that cannot be a good use of resources and there have been better ways of doing it the prison

service insists it has enough prison places for those being sentenced to custody as a result of public disorder adding there is substantial capacity in the prison system we currently have enough prison places for those being sentenced to custody as a result of public disorder there is substantial capacity. in the prison system but the numbers suggest otherwise pushing an already strange system to breaking point i've been it's artsy london. protesters in israel are pulling down their tanks that have occupied the main streets of tel aviv and jerusalem sense mid july they say that we can see demonstrations by hundreds of thousands of people have mobilized public opinion and taken social protest in the country to a new level activists are angry at the lack of affordable housing and failing social policies they plan to continue their protests until the government proposes real steps to resolve the situation israeli quality campaigner you'd it oppenheimer

projection suggests that japan will go relatively slowly europe may grow a little bit faster going to power the u.s. has traditionally been viewed as a very dynamic economy is likely to grow faster than europe but the growth rate in these economies will be much less than the growth rate in emerging market countries so i mean try and brazil so i think over time there is a shift in economic power taking place one is to asia. and another way of looking at it is really the rising rate of emerging market countries and i think you're thinking of a world in which there would be a large number of relatively equal economic grouping and you want to global system that can accommodate that if it can't be a global system which is run only by saying well look this is the center of power and everybody else must adjust.

such measures the essence of this new conflict is that ukraine is not happy with the price it is paying for a thousand cubic meters of russian gas kremlin waits for some commercial offer to provide such discounts such as for instance a merger between the ukrainian gas monopolists nafta gas and the russian gas giant gazprom many people warry in europe that there will be another conflict another disruption of supplies into the european continent as we saw in two thousand and nine of course the situation now is pretty much different to what happened more than two years back because russia right now is not so strongly dependent on the ukrainian gas transportation system as it was back in two thousand and nine. your first you remove from kiev a second look at the markets now we're losing ground and this is a speculation those signs the u.s. and chinese economies are weakening indicate that fuel demand will falter in the world's largest crude consuming nations friends blend is trading at around one
