the arab league is due to visit syria wednesday in a bid to persuade the country's leader to end its six month long crackdown on the uprising there there's after each new countries announced a new round of sanctions against the syrian regime but as are his general bashar reports some are questioning whether western concern is for a 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 europeans or all firms complete their supply contracts with syria and oil fields developed by e.u. energy giants like french to toll on being touched from magnetic will contribute because the sanctions would start. to 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 crime 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 importantly europe's oil companies have to be on the shoulders of the syrian people while their companies out of protective the e.u. is also hurting itself think exposed as damascus will simply shifts a ploy to the competition if you look at syria. already the chinese authorities have said that they would by any account 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 very productive until maybe the end of next year and if they were an embargo on syrian oil today of course they would be. short.

could take you much longer than the wisdom expected me because the single one supply before a secured a no the new bushel for all to see in brussels. dr tawfik show more with philadelphia university in jordan the says although the blame is being laid on the syrian government the opposition is also been responsible for a great deal of violence there's two thousand people dead this sort of they say but these to solve them maybe they are incisions some of them out but they remember there is also one thousand soldier was killed in syria so these one thousand soldiers are impossible that being killed by by peaceful demonstrations definitely of them demonstrations in syria was not peaceful in any sense because otherwise how could it possible that one thousand out of me men and policemen have been killed during these five months yes that 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 criticize the sanctions against syria with russia's foreign minister repeating calls for a diplomatic solution. 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 villepin to know who the brics nations will not allow these to happen. sergey lavrov talking on behalf of the brakes nations brazil russia india china and south africa click on to our team for the full story. turning to libya where rebels have reportedly reached a deal to enter one of the remaining strongholds of colonel gadhafi bani walid without fighting or he's worried if an ocean reports in the country's capital on why this could be a turning point in the conflict. they've been preparing for this operation for

quite a long time with nature helping them clean path towards. facilities in the area by the way lead has always been known as khadafi stronghold and people from this area have since the beginning of this conflict here in libya been fighting against rebels that all across the country and have been dying for. all the time in supporting khadafi has provided them with a very good imitation and the best weaponry the national transitional council has repeatedly been claiming recently 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 that we see on the ground actually make so. that they say they are successful so far apart from humanitarian challenges the state of the country extreme currently facing such

as severe shortages shortages of water food medicine and fuel politically situation this very unstable the city is full of people with an unclear i joined a 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's called for an inquiry into claims u.k. intelligence agents extradited terror suspects to libya where they were allegedly tortured allegations surfaced after human rights groups in tripoli found documents outlining m i six and cia were additional programs but former british intelligence officer anywhere shot expects the probe to be swept under the carpet. when david cameron cools for an inquiry into these allegations he's been credibly disingenuous under the u.k. law and the inquiries act two thousand and five and the inquiry this is established . losing this in this torture inquiry headed up by subpoena gibson 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 peter gibson himself is 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 if he's going to unearth anything deliberately perhaps even probably won't shine a bright light in the darkness should we say he'll be friends to 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 the war in libya could fuel british and french appetite for a new intervention is according to rosemary hollis a professor of middle east policy studies at city university of london before interview with her coming your way of later of us our here's a preview. cameraman tacos he took

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 so the appetite for further interventions will exist. spain is bracing itself for a mass protests as it said it is due to vote on a hotly contested change to the country's constitution that could cap the budget deficit in a bid to fend off a debt crisis in golf in europe union say fixing a deficit limit means sacrificing social welfare for the sake of the markets and our teams are in a delusional reports with rising repossessions as. unemployment many people seem to be taking matters into their own hands. this was the last time money carmen had

guests over at her house just a day after our team 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 she me lou calm and collected but the pressure of losing a roof over her head caused mary carmen to suffer a heart attack. 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. their money carmen's case is not unique in spain the country's an 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 addiction is inevitable they have to make sure these people are not going to go homeless because you just can't keep 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 and the police from entering sometimes they succeed like with this woman who kept her house because fifteen m. interfered with the vixen process. these are subsidized housing for 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 unfortunately for me carmen

and her son they were powerless in every fiction is the cement job and the people gathered 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 head of the european central bank says the eurozone should be more financially integrated and the outgoing leader john clarke thought with a thought a federation with a central finance ministry for europe was the only solution to the debt crisis i found your writer peter bill tells our t.v. eurozone system is 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 the 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 to europe to collapse there is a growing feeling both within and also amongst the people who elect parliaments and that's 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 it is certainly a question that parliaments are going to be putting to each other over the next coming months. coming our way in about an hour max kaiser and stacy herbert discuss the behavior of banks in the ongoing debt crisis here's a sneak peek. union members and activist groups are demanding harsher punishments against the bankers because according to a 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 that'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 assurance and they collect money as mafia terrorist bankers or financial terrorists that's what they are their terrorist they get paid per acts of terrorism and vandalism.

they. are coming. on our chief. thanks for staying with us here on r t turning now to israel where mass protests against a perceived lack of social justice have been inspired by a voice from the past a prominent member of the israeli black panther movement who say similar protest in the one nine hundred seventy s. was joining the crowds as artie's possibly reports he says he's frustrated that forty years on he feels a state of israel's become an enemy of its own people. the social protest in israel

on winding down and in much need of a dose of inspiration stirring the crowds a man whose ideas inspired previous generation by the use of passes we rose up to protest against the lack of justice. the year i've been waiting for the next generation to rise up and now forty years later with vision has been realized. it was nine hundred seventy one eight youngsters from one of jerusalem's poorest neighborhoods banded together and changed the course of his way to history they were immigrants from north africa and i would countries and they took a name from the african american black panthers and they call for social justice. panthers. we came. back. and thanks to them for the first time social issues were put on the public agenda radical and sometimes violent they clashed with the establishment over the way

they're not nice bars might be. one of my proudest moments was when golda said that we were powerful and had achieved something that showed as we were on the right path. and it was a path that for nearly two months this year inspired hundreds of thousands of israelis to again take to the streets they gave us a legacy saying that if you really believe in something and you think you're right and you don't use violence or say you can get whatever you're fighting for and over the tensile slowly coming down prime minister netanyahu still has a lot on to fall in three weeks the committee he set up needs to address how to fix the country's mounting social problems. only if we not progressed but the country has become an enemy of its people everywhere citizens are harassed there are police now it's not only the lower class who are suffering but the middle class as well.

completed next year will become the longest undersea pipeline in the world. meanwhile the gas is people tween moscow and kiev as more twists and turns than a viper and if that wasn't enough ukraine as big budget problems it's got to get its deficit down in order to receive i.m.f. funding and that's no easy task. it has very few means of closing the budget deficit so really go seriously with gazprom is is one way of doing that it is not in a position of strength ukraine is it has signed a contract for several years at a certain price for gas now is trying to renegotiate how it's going to actually have any kind of success with gazprom is an open question for me. take a look at the markets now and traditionally we start with commodities oil this hour is down light sweet is under pressure there and worries that slowing growth in the united states and china could curve demanded down more than three dollars this hour
