the song from feinstein. starts on t.v. dot com. the syrian forces launch their biggest we begin to protest is in the northwest with reports of several killed in the brush reges the un to get both sides into. israel throws its special forces to shoot palestinian protesters as they prepared to march in support of the un paid for independence plenty to prevent bloodshed. the gas impasse between ukraine and russia with price talks in prospect but turbulent times ahead. kiev has backpedaled on its decision just to russia in order to have the two thousand and nine gas contracts revised while moscow says that in any case it is ready to battle it out in court join me for all the fresh details from ukraine's capital kiev.

international news and comment live from moscow this is. more deaths are being reported in syria where security forces of launch raids in the northwest to stop protesters escaping across the border into turkey meanwhile russia is running members of the un security council to encourage the sides to stop violence and start negotiations the coming believes president assad has worked to change the situation on the ground through reforms and his efforts deserve some credit in the u.s. and its west european allies are pushing for action against president assad's regime which they've already sanctioned french political analyst here believes there's an underlying motive in calls for protecting syrian seven. sanctions in general do not work because concludes always find ways to go around the sanctions and so on but

sanctions would start only in the town and go on with production of oil although they would give the banning of importation so it's not quite logical and most probably syria would find different outlets for for its oil in every single one of these situations because every time the west or other countries talk about a humanitarian intervention the question that needs to be asked is why there is a convention in some countries but not in others for example in bahrain people wanted to get rid of their regime budge since it was so closely us there was no question of a humanitarian intervention and there is no question of and eventually saudi arabia no question of intervention to help the palestinians so the humanitarian question cannot be be forced to call an economic questions you have to find political economic and military interests before you start believing in it to manager and reasons because most in all so-called interventions humanitarian interventions you

there's another reason which is far more him. all serious struggle drags on let's see how it's impacting on the people of the stricken country parties area nicholas co is there and has been meeting those at the sharp end of the sanctions. the dealer is a master barber those small his shop was floor until it all ended in a snit. and there are many customers who would come from a forest when you kilometers away from damascus but now the flow has come down a lot first came the unrest then the crackdown then the west quickly stepped in with sanctions to survive is to put the economic pressure on the chief political stop the bloodshed and to help the people of syria to achieve their legitimate aspirations as 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 of the e.u.

when the us are tightening their grip by opposing 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 debt which gives it a certain immunity against these sanctions. sobbing and this is not just government gloss in the face of impuls adversity syrian opposition figures are also unconvinced but for a different reason. this iranian government have chosen their path and no matter what measures are taken against them they continue down that road sanctions are sold as a precise weapon to hit the regime where it hurts but syrian evillest say they're too blunt a tool and it's the people who will suffer the most when you are talking about. what we call it it could be a new life as a serious citizen. 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 even though r.t. damascus syria. over libya the old regime may have been toppled but the fighting showing no sign of letting up and rebel say they've done enough talking. to you for the latest from the front line in the hunt for colonel gadhafi has his loyalists remain determined to the. still to come this hour europe's financial bosses plan on tightening their grip on the rest of the eurozone and give brussels a bigger role. the first israelis to allow security forces to shoot at palestinian protesters who are preparing to march in support of their bid for statehood at the u.n. later this month tel aviv claims it's trying to prevent bloodshed by arming settlers in the west bank for self-defense. is across development. in some quarters there

is talk of a group into fodder that some will say will be as bloody and as violent as the first two sectors of whom there are some four hundred thousand living in a land that has some two and a half million palestinians in the west bank are bracing themselves for violence as is the israeli army and the israeli police now for several months the israeli army has been comparing in an operation called operation from a seed and it's now in the final stages of putting the finishing touches in place to this and we're being told that they have to take his case resigned around the system into the west bank and what this means is that palestinians who approach so that on that red line will be shot at by soldiers who has a mission to do this so now there also has to be intensive training in terms of security groups within these statements they have been participating in the roles that the army's been undergoing say scene provided with stun grenades with water cannons as well as with tear gas canisters on saturday we saw the largest protest

in this country's history one hundred thousand demonstrators took to the streets of ten cities here in tel aviv was one of the focal points a number of speakers a number of options to grace the crowd they spoke about making history they said really that this was a turning point in the history of this country and what protesters have been demanding for there's a part of tonight is the social issues justice really what they're saying is that in the turnout in the government needs to be in this focus on issues of security and focus on internal problems problems such as the high cost of living in this country and this is a criticism that an attorney who is facing a criticism that he is expanding too much time on issues on the international agenda rather than addressing real domestic concerns here at home talking to protesters they accuse netanyahu of being past the hour being i'm responsible and of being out of touch with people in israel are concerned about. there and one

peace activist from a joint palestinian israeli n.g.o.s told r.t. that if ton of it turns to provocation israelis will answer with protests it may be an indication of the kind of provocation the government is interested to to arm the settlers we. already existing for the settlers are not the one to be attacked in most of the cases the palestinians are they be attacked raise the settlers the settlers are heavily armed from the very beginning of the israeli occupation in the west bank and gaza. what is important is not that we have more arms you cannot add more to the maximum the question. the intentions of the government and this is what is worrying me brutal reaction from these really. brutal policy by the israeli government may be confronted with a mass demonstrations inside israel a clue. the head of nato says the alliances military intervention in libya will not

end with the capture of colonel gadhafi on the front line rebel forces are waiting for the green light to crush one of the last remaining pockets of resistance by gadhafi supporters rebel negotiators cease fire talks in the town of bani walid have broken down but the country's interim government is certain is still hope for a peaceful solution the national transitional council says two of the colonel's sons who have been blocking the surrender of bani walid have left the area unclear number of gadhafi loyalists holed up in the town hundred fifty kilometers from tripoli and only been given until saturday to. making a stand in his hometown of sirte and several other areas ati's were financial reports it's a battle for bani walid that could prove decisive. they've been preparing for this operation for by the long time with nato helping them clean cas towards bor main facilities in the area anyway lead has always been known as duffy's stronghold and

people from this area since the beginning of this conflict here in libya been fighting against rebels all across the country and have been dying for. all the time in supporting gadhafi who provided them with a very good bass weaponry so that's clear that it will not be easy for the rebels to take control of its area while they need is actually down the house where it has been known and well. not surprisingly remains the country's number one priority is thought to be right now with his sons in this area and this is. one more reason to take area some of the national transitional council has repeatedly been claiming recently that really is not secure and it's not safe and they're working hard to try to restore order. in the country on the territory now

controlled technically by the national transitional council the quick release he on the ground actually makes as. they are successful so far apart from the humanitarian challenges the sticky. currently facing such as severe shortages shortages of water food medicine and fuel and politically situation is very unstable the scene she is full of people who have been clear agenda many of them very young with little knowledge of how to use weapons and it's quite unclear who is controlling. what the situation in libya remains tense russia is building up its relations with the country's new government after recently recognizing the rebels as the determined authority in libya has now invited officials for economic talks which are expected to take place this week and you can post it on what happens here in r.t. . british prime minister david cameron has called for an inquiry into claims that

u.k. intelligence agents extradited terrorist suspects to libya. first off the human rights groups in tripoli found documents outlining m i six and cia rendition programs but former british intelligence officer told me earlier that she expects investigation will be brushed under the carpet. when david cameron calls for an inquiry into these allegations he's being incredibly disingenuous under the u.k. law and the inquiries act two thousand and five an inquiry that is established including this in this torture inquiry headed up by city tickets and it's circumscribed by the very organizations that are being investigated in this case my five and i six so it's going to be toothless plus of course the other consideration with this is that it's a pita given himself he's heading up this inquiry was actually intelligence services commissioner for five years prior to taking on this role so he's been cozying up to the intelligence services in the u.k. for five years i doubt he's going to unearth anything deliberately perhaps he would

probably want to shine a bright light on a dark corner should we say he'll be friends the intelligence agencies they will have lost all credibility they have double deals in libya for decades now and really their chickens are coming home to roost and i can't see how any government that comes into power in libya will trust whatever m i six or the british government now says. scuffles have broken out both inside and outside according current where former president hosni mubarak's trial has resumed the hearing was disrupted when lawyers for both the prosecution and the defense had to be separated by police outside hundreds of demonstrators including relatives of those children forever attempted to break through the main gate to gain access to the court for senior police officers are due to testify against mubarak at monday's hearing which will be behind closed doors a three year old is charged with corruption and ordering the killing of eight hundred fifty protesters egypt's revolution that took all the protests have been continuing elsewhere in egypt with millions of people still unhappy the slow pace

of the claims from the interim. ukraine says it's now willing to negotiate every gas prices with russia after the kremlin said it would rigorously defend the already agreed deal in international courts foreign minister sergey lavrov met his ukrainian counterpart to talk energy costs after he have pushed for a new discount because of struggles in paying the current contract party's election to cesky has more. well certainly over the last seventy two hours it clearly seemed that the temperature in this new gas crisis has reached critical level especially with somewhat sensational a very loud statements made by president going to president of ukraine he plans to sue russia in the international court to have the two thousand and nine desk on tracks revised it also was a very stern reply coming from the kremlin the presidential press office said that should ukraine decide to take this case into international court in stockholm then russia would be ready to stand its ground and that the law of the international law

was only its own russia side believing that russia would achieve victory should this lawsuit occur now the situation has changed dramatically over the past twenty four hours with the ukrainian prime minister nicolas out of saying that until the new price he's agreed until the new contract is signed the ukraine will be sticking to the current contract and will be fulfilling goal of legations this contract paying up to four hundred u.s. dollars for one thousand cubic meters of russian gas which is the market price and this is the price which ukraine has been pretty much on the happy with russia is not as strongly dependent on the ukrainian gas transportation system as it was back in two thousand and nine now we know according to russia's prime minister vladimir putin that the north stream pipeline will be launched pretty much so in fact it's a test run will be started to morrow on tuesday and winter stand that's in the months in a month's time the european consumers germany in particular will be receiving the gas through the north pipeline does that is something which was not existing in two

thousand and nine also understand that the south stream pipeline is also going to going to be completed in the near nearest future so this means that the european consumers have nothing to worry about according to all the officials in mosul in gas in the russian energy ministry and in the kremlin and we will not see the another gas war which would affect the european continent this time around. patience is rapidly running out at the european central bank with greece being ordered to sharpen it cutting back as agreed in its bailout euro zone's your debt is widening and the e.c.b. chief wants to give brussels a bigger role in how countries many. daniel bushell is that greece could fail to get its second bailout if it fails to carry out the terms of its first one that's according to the european central bank trish a he said it's absolutely imperative to tighten monitoring of countries in the euro calling for

a single european government to impose economic decisions on countries according to tradition more governance within the eurozone is absolutely essential i mean if you talk to you here in brussels they're not sure that the single single government you bureaucrats making decisions for national economies is the right way to go ahead or even that it will save the euro zone anyway with growing numbers of people here fearing the single currency maybe a sinking ship and. i.m.f. and the greek officials are all in a part of the e.u. says greece has failed to cut its deficit you also have countries like finland who are resisting any more bailouts until they really understand what's going to going on in these troubled countries not just greece but obviously also political and spain for the use given greece a few more weeks to go through with it still started to plan. on the situation in that country again of course that's raising even more doubts about greece's ability to avoid quitting the euro so it's understandable why investors may be panicking

here in europe and one of. their financial writer peter build he told me a little earlier that he believes that the euro zone system is so flawed that even a common economic government won't save the single currency. it may indeed be getting if not too late and certainly very late in the day in order to institute a financial government for europe the system could collapse before it is politically possible to put these sorts of measures in place but at the same time although parliaments if you like don't want europe to collapse there is a growing feeling both within the parliament and also amongst the people who elect parliaments and that's true of germany the most pros european all free of all of our countries but there is a certain impatience away in up is it really worth giving up a sovereignty and b. possibly a lot of money in order to save a system that was falsely designed right from the beginning it is certainly

a question that parliaments are going to be putting to each other over the next coming months. if europe needs some vital advice and should look east as we'll hear in about an hour's time when a leading economist from the indian powerhouse gives some currency counseling. and he is generally recognize that if you want to have a single currency it needs to be backed by a single for school authorities now since euro zone is different countries they must have a very shared understanding of who's going to pay the bills if a problem arises the challenge for you or how they're going to handle distribute in future revenues in anybody's interests to see a major financial collapse. come up to twenty minutes past the hour let's update you on some of the world's other main news right now a yemeni plane is reportedly bombed a mosque in the south that was thought to be occupied by islamic militants killing
