but as art is down a little explains their slow introduction could backfire. william hague britain's foreign secretary says horrific scenes of brutality have forced this oil burner on syria but bizarrely sanctions won't start for over a month. they will kick in only when european oil firms complete their supply contracts which. an oil fields developed by e.u. energy giants like french to toll on being touched from men at equal point of view because their 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 a mixed 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

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 bury any account e.u. 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. with the war against 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. and the u.n.

estimates the number of people killed in syria to be over two thousand since the uprising began in march well many are pinning the blame on the government but analysts in neighboring jordan believe that the opposition is a wolf in sheep's clothing. there's two thousand people. sort of the same but these two saw the maybe the outer incisions some of them out but remember there is also one thousand soldier was killed in syria so these one thousand soldiers impossibile that they have been killed by by peaceful demonstration definitely have been demonstrations in syria was. peaceful in many a sense because otherwise how could also be that one thousand. 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. and all the way were in spain to meet those

being picked out for struggling to survive activists and volunteers back together to found off court order to visions of people suffering the consequences of spain's desperate debt crisis. and why ukraine will be out in the cold as a new undersea gaspipe means it will lose its status as the one stop shop for shipping russian fuel to europe. now in libya rebels are detaining oil engineers and cooks from former soviet countries suspected them of being pro get off the snipers all too russians were later released along with a ukrainian couple after they managed to contact the russian embassy but more than a dozen ukrainians are still being held now r.t. what if it is a tripoli with more. well as far as we know thirty two people including two owners of the russian passport and also better russian and ukrainian citizens apparently working for the russian libyan all company here in tripoli engineers and coupes men and women have been arrested here in tripoli shortly after the rebels took the

libyan capital and have been put into one of the rebels' training center here in the capital after they've been accused of been snipers of khadafi we have been able to speak to the detainees and they deny all allegations but because of additional for some reason the finger of slavic people are snipers we have nothing to do with that we came here to earn money peacefully that these people say that they've been provided with food and water but some of them have been severely beaten and tortured by the rebels the russian embassy has actually managed to release two owners of the russian passport and ukrainian couple but around twenty other ukrainians us to been held by the rebels here in tripoli the scope of the ukrainian embassy refused to take them they said they don't have running water they said that they don't have proper accommodation. they would be better to stay and give syria see. what the latest what we are hearing from bani walid southeast of the capital

tripoli where the fighting over his last and main stronghold has been continuing in the last few days is that the rabble forces have reportedly reached a deal with the conductor's loyalists on the ground to and to the city without fighting this information is yet to be confirmed but if the research deal if the research an agreement between the rebel forces and gadhafi forces belinelli that actually would mean a breakthrough and we also receiving reports that scores of the libyan army as they call have reportedly crossed the frontier border into niger and many believe that gadhafi himself could also be in monday and good also. have fled the country we are receiving these reports just hours after gadhafi information has claimed that the embattled colonel is in the country and has no plans to leave it anytime

soon. now earlier human rights groups confirmed reports of the mass abuse of black people by the rebels in libya the council of europe's rights commissioner says and many of those captured could be heading to europe and must be helped by e.u. countries. we could just do our best in order to ensure that those people are well treated some of them of course may well be genuine refugees from other parts of africa who were trying to reach europe via libya and got stuck there and i think it's very important that also european governments deal with refugees from libya coming from other parts of. africa in line with the international standards when it comes to asylum and refugee policy is now italy's biggest trading it is vowing that up to a million it will march against the harsh military package being debated in rome italy's teetering on the brink over its massive debts and one of europe's biggest economies troubles threaten to destabilize the euro zone and spur

a new financial crisis now the removal of says several controversial provisions such as a temporary tax on the wealthy that markets into a spin and sparked rumors of an imminent credit rating downgrade or across the only way to see efforts to further rescue the greek economy took a hit after appen said mid it won't be able to meet a deficit reduction let's get some perspective on this from paris with that macleod two point me only as a member of france's ruling party until two thousand and seven i thanks very much for joining us on the program first off us thirty protests are nothing new why do you think there's so much anger now towards cuts that italian premier berlusconi says are required to prevent a collapse i mean we're all learning to make sacrifices to get back on track isn't it. the problem is that there is no growth norm problem and to need to spend greece friends because a euro zone is not working. after ten years of people realize that.

it's not working and governments are asking people. always more for more privileged. people really doesn't support in more this way of governing health care what about calls for greece for example to be kicked out or let out of the euro zone well that's something that german chancellor angela merkel has flatly rejected shouldn't accept will be considered for the blocks well being. i think that greece. leaves the euro zone soon. i think that greece cannot should port the currency of germany it is not the same economy so if they want it they will leave their mortgage or do you think greece will leave by itself or will it be forced out. greece will be forced

to leave europe because the only means for greece economy to recover to sell products outside is to develop it to the euro currency is too expensive for greece to our production producer of oil producer of tourists they need a currency which is not so why you cannot have the same money as the same currency from greece with. productivity which is not in from germany the same country. for euro's in europe we gave money to greece but greece cannot support this currency ok well let's talk about france. now it's one of the more premier economies in the euro zone and the latest growth data puts paris on the verge of the national stagnation so is the debt crisis now catching up to these

economies that are in a better position. yes but france is not in the greece situation of course we have a strong economy but there is an unemployment which is very high and it is a cent now because the government is saying to french people we have to to you we. impose new taxes but in the same day we are going to give to greece fifteen billion euro of its own people cannot accept we ask. the french people to give it to greece. it's not working you saw the french government is very unpopular in. many many french people are not the majority a minority still know things that we should leave euro zone we should. all money. it's the only means like italy spain we are in

a historic moment here the euro zone is exploding here having said that your president our president sarkozy has insisted that france's future lies with the euro what do you think about that. i think it's a bluff it's a completely stupid i think we can we create europe without europe and it worked when we after the war we had reconciliation and peace with germany with italy there was no europe we have we had our own money own currency and it worked because when we had a problem we could develop it and germany revelle read its currency so now we cannot you. like in england like poland like sweden we cannot use a monitoring arm so it's a known problem and which is a means of recalibrates things so you understand that people in europe

begins just to understand that you is not working you cannot have the same currency for countries who are completely different on the economic scale and i think that we are going to see you the explosion of the euro zone that all the governments try to impose rescission. for taxes. we will have a revolt revolution of the people thank you very much for your insight there nicolas duple and founder of. party thank you very much. now things are the little better across in spain which also faces protests after its parliament bowed to pressure and voted to amend the constitution to limit national debt or the senate's voting today but unions and rights groups vowed to

fight it saying the death cap will decimate the welfare system and hurt the most vulnerable. of course the country's predicament is leading some to take matters into their own hands. this was the last time an economy in had guests over at her house just a day after r.t. came to visit she along with your fourteen year old son was evicted from the subsidized flat she called home for five years ok maybe they i was fifteen days late with a payment i paid five hundred twenty four year zero and they still want to affect 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 really calm and collected but the pressure of losing a roof over her head caused mary carmen to suffer a heart attack while there 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. many 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 because action is inevitable they have to make sure these people are not going to go homeless you just can't keep them out on the street. they're going to zeeshan is known as the indignados or the outraged these staged protests by homes of those who are be effected hoping to prevent court plaintiffs and the police from entering sometimes they succeed like with this woman who kept her house because fifteen interfered with either action process. or security 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 victims across the country unfortunately for me carmen and her son they were powerless this time every victim is a human 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 this better system itself in madrid. r.t. . how israel and turkey's former friendly relations are weathering fast turkey is suspending all trade military and defense ties and the prime minister threatening more sanctions against israel and of visit to gaza already expelled israeli diplomats over the refusal to apologize for killing nine of us in last year's gaza flotilla raid artie's policy or is following developments in tel aviv. the turkish prime minister other one has announced that he could be slapping more sanctions on

television this follows the release last week of a united nations report into what happened on board the. now that was a turkish missile that took part in the first the tiller attempt to break the israeli siege on gaza some one and a half years ago and often israeli soldiers stormed the ship some nine turkish citizens were killed israel has repeatedly refused to apologize for the deaths and in response and korea has expelled the israeli ambassador it has downgraded diplomatic relations between both countries to the level of second secretary and it's also frozen all military cooperation the turkish prime minister used the word several when he referred to the israeli behavior he also accused israel of behaving like a spoilt boy in the region and he said that the turks would challenge israeli bullying in the mediterranean by increasing the naval presence there the turkish government has also rejected another finding of the un palmer report which said that the

israeli blockade on gaza was not illegal with the turkish government saying that it would now lobby that with the international criminal court in the hague we've heard from the turkish foreign minister who held a press briefing with the top official now bill sha'ath in which he said that the turks had a campaign underway to help the palestinians be successful in a bird come september the twentieth for a palestinian state now this is no surprise because for several months turkey has indicated that it is supporting the palestinians it is also indicated that it is embarking on a diplomatic campaign to help them in their struggle we also know for example that the turkish prime minister is now planning a visit makes week to egypt now he has said that he will be upgrading military cooperation between turkey and egypt we are also hearing that a number of bilateral meetings have been arranged no doubt these will for. largely on this fear of economics but certainly this has to be

a concern to me as well the official response from the israeli defense minister ministry is that turkey has a lot to lose but most people here really are questioning what israel is going to do because this is a crucial time when israel needs all the friends it can have particularly ahead of this u.n. bed which of course israel is against you need to remember that turkey was israel's closest ally in the region and relationships between israel and turkey are at the lowest they've been in more than twenty years and certainly seeing the same between tel aviv and cairo where relations between israel and egypt are also now at an all time low. let's get reaction now from dr gallagher lindenstrauss from the institute for national security studies in a television thanks very much for joining us today now it has lost an important ally in the region do you think turkey's moves are an over reaction or should israel have seen this coming. think the israeli government took a conscious decision when you decided not to apologise. not apologizing had

a price not should move the price would be so. and also i think they knew this in advance but once it happens it's still shocking you said that israel was expecting that bit of reaction from turkey but didn't know the extent of it now that it doesn't know the extent of it what is its reaction i mean the position it's in right now. yes it is trying to keep its restraint. in accordance to the palmers report of commendations it did express its regret on the flotilla vent but it still refuses to apologize. and disrespect of course. the reason that. there were good reasons for that i used was afraid that this would cause a president. stands. legal and this stems

from nation from the problem report and also that the flotilla action as the report says were reckless in this respect as well as of course as the report says maybe there was an overreaction basically the fault was those who initiated from those who didn't stop it you said that israel has expressed regret but not apologizing you're citing the reason that they're afraid it will set a precedent but what is more important the way in this into putting this into perspective weighing one of complete isolation versus one another hand avoiding a precedent of what you had said is that more important. of course you're right this puts a very difficult situation in this isolation and while there were good reasons not to apologize of course there were good reasons also to do this action but now that israel has decided not apologise it has to leave was the price and one should hope that after these very harsh reaction to turks there will be some calming down

whether by the turks themselves or the outside actors such as the us who has great interest. in the recovery of turkish relations high pressure the sides to. calm down a bit sorry ok how do you how will turkey's freeze on the military ties impact on israel's security the same will this threaten regional stability. differently when turkey says that it will start acting more decisively in the eastern mediterranean this might have an effect i don't think the two navies these ready maybe in the turkish navy will enter a direct confrontation but there might be mistakes like the flotilla itself the report states clearly that both israel and turkey didn't want to happen the way they did but they did happen because there were mistakes and there were misunderstanding and if turkey says it will operate more decisively in the eastern

mediterranean there might be an accident between israel and navies and this might be even worse than the current elopement ok i just briefly now turkey says its plan in cooperation with the palestinian campaign to seek statehood what would such an international recognition mean for israel and the wider region. this is very hard to know what will be the repercussions of this but i don't think actually this is not such a major result of the deterioration in israel in turkish relations because it was anyhow clear that the turkey would support the palestinian statehood. and that it would put all its effort to make other states persuaded to also support this and i think this is anyhow most states support this with whatever israel does so i don't think actually this crisis between user and turkey has a direct effect on what will happen in the u. and of course the question is what will happen the day after the un recognizes the palestinian state without cause more violence will that make no difference and then

it will cause palestinian frustration will this stop the two sides from going back to the negotiation table these are very important questions we still don't have an answer to rival thank you very much for your thoughts. research fellow at the answer to for national security studies and television thank you. now ukraine is losing its key bargaining chip in europe said our g industry has been the only transit route for russian gas into europe but all that's about to change as prime minister putin explained during the launch of the nord stream gas pipeline. that ukraine is no longer standing any transit country is always tempted to use its exclusive status as a transit state now ukraine will lose this privilege i believe all relations will evolve into an civilized free market. first the gas so launched into the pipeline will be used to test the system and stabilize the pressure in the network transit should begin by october now the north korean

pipeline travels directly from russia to europe bypassing ukraine or relying on it as a transit state has been fractures in recent years resulting in a few disputes between russia and ukraine. r.t. has more on how the pipelines will change europe's energy map in our business that's next on r.t. . hello and a very warm welcome to the business russia's prime minister is calling the north gas pipeline a window to europe the twelve hundred kilometer length that is being filled before pumping begins this is our cheeseman in the course right has the details. it was a split gas implosion all by months and years of negotiations testing and construction came down to one place blood in your boots and all eventually set the wheels in motion and the pipeline is now being filled up with gas to get it ready to start pumping it up hope for the rochelle to not have to rely on transit

countries to get its gas and see europe export so that you are expected to double in the coming decade and north stream but won't carry as words are all that the project that's not its fair share of poland traverse these with her transit countries that use of fossil uses nordstrom's as a political solution but the government insists it's only there to save more supplies europe has a plan to rely on the gas from the majority shareholder all the words she has already signed many modes are of supply put in times with european countries like bella to france and that you hate it when the second parallel pipeline comes on stream next year the odd billion people meters of gas will flow from russia to its customers and europe. has been confirmed stream padma be a s.f. of germany will also take part in the south stream pipeline project the chemical

joint along with france's e.d.f. will each have a fifteen percent stake in the gas pipeline across the black sea to europe the reshuffle means if any will have its share in the twenty four billion euro project drop to twenty percent. let's have a look at the markets now brant crude has rebounded with the european markets despise persisting fears theatre opinion soaring debt crisis is an escalating branch is trading higher this hour at just under one hundred and eleven dollars per barrel while w g i remains pressured by wars so to help will beat us economy. european markets have kicked off impulsive charts for investors are taking a break from two days of heavy selling food safety. skimming point six percent of the text is flat. and here's the picture in russia the russian markets seeing losses indicating shares may fall for a third trading take a major concern slowing growth in the u.s. and china and sure ups. will spark a global recession as i have
