but authorities daniel bushell reports many questioned whether western concern is for syrian lives or their oil revenues. william hague britain's foreign secretary says horrific scenes of brutality have forced this oil burning in syria but bizarrely sanctions won't start for over a month. but they will kick in only when european world firms complete their supply contracts with syria and oil fields developed by e.u. energy giants like french to toll on being touched by men at equal point of view because their sanctions would start only in november so tired we go on with reduction of oil as a result the e.u. may end up subsidizing the regime they oppose the oil industry can use sixty day payment which means the e.u. could still be funding. into next year if a list of crimes the horrific critics also why the e.u. is putting profit above syrian lives. diplomats warn sanctions won't even hit the mark they hurt ordinary people not the leadership they claim to target and most
12:02 am
importantly europe's oil companies have to be on the shoulder of the syrian people while their companies out of protective the e.u. is also hurting itself think exposed as damascus will simply shift supply to the competition if you look at syria. already cheney's authorities have said that they would buy any that can be you officials hope new stocks of the black gold from libya would take up the slack but they may be disappointed will not start being there a productive and you're making the end of next year and if they were an embargo on syrian oil today of course they would be short. with the wall riggins colonel gadhafi taking much longer than the west expected maybe cutting off one supply before a secured another new bushel for our team in brussels. dr tawfik show maher from
12:03 am
philadelphia university in jordan says although all the blame is being pinned on the syrian government the opposition has also been responsible for a great deal of violence. two thousand people. sort of they say but these two solve them maybe they are incisions some of them out but remember there is also one thousand soldier was killed in syria so these one thousand soldiers are impossible that they have been killed by by peaceful demonstration definitely of them demonstrations in syria was not peaceful in any sense because otherwise how could it possible that one thousand odd mean men and policemen have been killed during these five months yes there is the mistrust from both sides but we have the current situation and we should sit on the table and negotiate because there is no other solution. moscow's criticized the sanctions against syria with russia's foreign minister repeating the country's calls for
12:04 am
a diplomatic solution. we strongly believe i'm except a bill to instigate the syrian opposition to continue boycotting suggestions to start a dialogue this is a call for a pizza villepin scenario the brics nations will not allow this to happen. sergey lavrov was speaking on behalf of the brics countries brazil russia india china and south africa but on to our g dot com for the full story. turning now to libya colonel gadhafi remains safe somewhere in the country according to a spokesman who claims the rebels won't be able to reach the few the fugitive ousted leader this comes as rebel forces say they're ready to storm the town of bani walid after a cease fire talks they are broke down along with gadhafi his hometown of sirte hey the word means one of the few loyalists held cities in the country authorities maria from ocean reports it's the battle for a body will lead by could prove decisive. they've been preparing for this operation for quite a long time with nature helping them clean path towards eight military facilities
12:05 am
in the area by the way lead has always been known as. a stronghold and people from . they say area has 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 been supporting gadhafi who has provided them with a very good diminution and the best weaponry so that's clear that it will not be easy for the rabble to take control over these areas while they need it's actually could die off the house where it has been known and while. not surprisingly remains the country's number one priority is thought to be right now with his sons in these areas this is. one more reason to take control over this area as soon as possible the national transitional council has repeatedly been claiming recently
12:06 am
that fully is now secure and is now safe and that they are working hard to try to restore the country on the territory now controlled technically by the national transitional council but with we see on the ground actually makes. you no doubt that they are successful so far apart from humanitarian challenges the state of the country actually ease currently facing such a severe shortages shortages of water food medicine and fuel politically situation is very unstable the sea is full of people we've been clear agenda many of them very young with little knowledge of how to use weapons and it's quite unclear who is controlling them. meanwhile british prime minister david cameron has called for an inquiry into claims u.k. intelligence agents extradited terrorist suspects to libya where they were
12:07 am
allegedly tortured the allegations surfaced after human rights groups in tripoli found documents outlining m i six and cia were additional programs for former british intelligence officer and you may shon believe expects the probe to be swept under the carpet. when david cameron calls for an inquiry into these allegations he's been credibly disingenuous under the u.k. law and the inquiries act two thousand and five any inquiry this is established including this in this torture inquiry headed up by subpoena gibson is circumscribed by the very organizations that are being investigated in this case m i five and m i six so it's going to be toothless plus of course the other consideration with this is that peter gibson himself is heading up this inquiry was actually the 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 if he's going to unearth anything deliberately perhaps he would probably want to shine a bright light in the dark corner should we say he'll be friends to the intelligence agencies they will have lost all credibility they have double deals in
12:08 am
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 the war in libya could fuel british and french appetite for a new order of entrance according to rosemary hollis a professor of middle east policy studies at city university in london forward if you're coming your way in about twenty minutes here's a preview. cameraman tacos he took on a massive gamble that they could pull something off in libya. that would contrast with the disaster that was the intervention in iraq and you know have president sarkozy talking as though this is a template for future interventions this is very much a kind of proxy war which must be extremely exciting and exhilarating at some level to be involved and so the appetite for further interventions will exist.
12:09 am
spain is bracing itself for a mass protests as that senate is due to vote on a hotly contested change to the constitution it would cap the budget deficit in a bid to fend off the debt crisis that's in golfing europe unions say fixing a deficit limit means sacrificing social welfare for the sake of the markets as artie's are in a delusional reports with rising repossessions and unemployment many people are taking matters into their own hands. this was the last time mary carmen had guests over at her house just a day after artie came to visit she along with her fourteen year old son was evicted from the subsidized flat she called home for five years. i was fifteen days late with a payment i paid five hundred twenty four year zero and they still want to victor me even though i paid everything and it was months ago since then marie carmen has spent most of her time fighting to keep her apartment calm and collected but the
12:10 am
pressure of losing a roof over her head caused mary carmen to suffer a heart attack while the these apartments should be distributed in such a way that people can afford to pay for them but a lot of times they can't and i'm going to fight to make this type of housing more affordable. where you carmen's case is not unique in spain the country's in employment rate of over twenty percent means many people are simply unable to make their next mortgage payments in the past two years more than three hundred thousand people have been evicted from their homes as a result of spain's financial crisis this is where members of the fifteen m. movement come in. according to the international human rights convention every person has a right to decent housing if the action is inevitable they have to make sure these people are not going to go homeless you just can't kick them out on the street that they're going to zation is known as the indignados or the outraged they staged protests by homes of those who are being evicted hoping to prevent court plaintiffs
12:11 am
and the police from entering sometimes they succeed like with this woman who kept her house because fifteen m. interfered with either action process. these are subsidized housing people who are in tough situation financially so i can't understand how they can evict people who can't afford to buy their own homes. so far fifteen m. have managed to stop fifty vixens across the country and for. at least for me carmen and her son they were powerless in every vixen is the cement job and the people together here believe they are fighting social injustice but some wonder whether the efforts of this group of people are enough to solve the problems within the spanish system itself in madrid. righty. meanwhile the incoming european central bank head says the eurozone should be more financially integrated and the outgoing chief john clarke shay thought a federation with
12:12 am
a central finance ministry for europe was the only solution to the debt crisis and ensure writer peter build tells our t.v. euro zone system so flawed even a common economic government won't save the single currency it may indeed be 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 parliaments and also amongst the people who elect parliaments and that's certainly true of germany the most pro european in all of the of all of the 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 really designed right from the beginning just certainly a question the parliaments are going to be putting to each other over the next
12:13 am
coming months later in the program max kaiser and stacy herbert talk about the behavior of banks in the ongoing debt crisis here's a sneak peek. calls that punish greedy banks who sparked a credit crunch so this is from the u.k. and people are like union members and activist groups are demanding harsher punishments against the bankers because according to report this year by the new economics foundation they said the banks have made sixty billion pounds out of the financial crisis they helped create most of it is due to selling debt to the government it's a bust out scam it's an insurance scam it's arson scam and they get paid out on credit default swaps or other form of insurance so-called insurance and they collect money as mafia terrorist bankers their financial terrorists that's what they are they're terrorists get paid per acts of terrorism and vandalism.
