but it's done a bushel explains next their slow introduction could backfire. 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 coming choat which. and oil fields developed by e.u. energy giants like french to toll on being touched from minute point of view because that sanctions would start only not 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 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 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 a productive and you know maybe at the end of next year and if they were an embargo on syrian oil today of course there would be a short war. 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. the e.u.

the un rather estimates the number of people killed in syria will be over two thousand since the uprising began in march many of pinning the blame on the government but analysts in neighboring jordan believe the opposition is a wolf in sheep's clothing. there's two thousand people. sort of they say about these two thousand and maybe they are insurgents or some of them are but remember there is also one thousand soldiers killed in syria so these one thousand soldiers impossibile that had been killed by by peaceful demonstration definitely have been demonstrations in syria was not peaceful in any sense because otherwise how could it possible that one thousand army men and policemen have been killed during this five month yes there is the mistrust from both lies but we have the current situation and we should sit on the table and negotiate because there is no other solution. for you on the program including the manhunt in libya kicking

into high gear with the trial rebels now accused of being too keen to target alleged gadhafi loyalists and rounding up innocent foreigners in the process a report coming up on mount one also the human rights watchdog urges countries have allegedly been hosting secret cia prisons to investigate claims of serious violations. next the tens of thousands of angry italians have hit the streets nationwide today to protest the harsh package being debated in rome and a number of violent scuffles between demonstrators and police have already been reported underlying the political and social tension it's me wrestles with this massive debts that is one of europe's biggest economies its troubles threaten to destabilize the euro zone and spur a new financial crisis the dropping of some key provisions such as a temporary tax on the wealthy said markets into spain and spark rumors of a credit rating downgrade meantime across the sea efforts to further rescue greece

took a hit and submitted it won't be able to meet its deficit reduction deadlines. point is a member of france's ruling party until two thousand. believes they're the consequences of a currency system that just cannot work. the problem is that there is no growth norm primum to need to spend greece friends because the euro zone is not working and after ten years of people realize that. it's not working that greece will be forced to leave europe because the only means for greece economy to recover to sell products outside is to develop it you cannot have the same currency for countries who are completely different on the economic scale in i think. we are going to see you use the explosion of the euro zone in that all the

governments try to impose rescission. if for taxes we will have a revolt in revelation of the people. and did things a little better across in spain which also faces protests after its parliament bowed to you pressure voted to amend the constitution to limit national debt the senate voting today but unions and rights groups vowed to fight it saying the debt cat would decimate the welfare system and hurt the most vulnerable. to reports next the country's predicaments leading some to take matters into their own hand. this was the last time i got him and 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 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 calm and collected but the pressure of losing a roof over her head caused mary carmen to suffer a heart attack call that 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 and normal. 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 it is action is inevitable they have to make sure these

people are not going to go homeless because you just can't kick them out on the street. they're going to zation is known as the indignados or the outraged they 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 m. interfered with either action process and these are subsidized housing people who are in tough situation financially so i can't understand how they can evict people who cannot afford to buy their own homes. so far fifteen m. have managed to stop fifty vixens across the country. unfortunately for me carmen in her son they were powerless in every vixen is the cement job any people gathered here believe they are fighting social injustice but some wonder with the efforts of this group of people are enough to solve the problems within this planet system

itself in madrid. righty. what are the main purposes of the debates in madrid today is to send a message to markets to the government serious about tackling its runaway finances but writer and journalist my girl and she believes it's those very markets that are responsible for spain's predicament today the markets are not rational and they are driven usually by fear sometimes by greed and they just think they feel that the spain could be like greece or like ireland or like portugal because the fertile country within the euro so so they tend to lump together countries that are very different but they resemble each other because they are part of that periphery and i think that that's the real recently sets a psychological perception and then again it's true that the growth in spain konami growth is not very good so that in the long term will be a problem for there but we don't have a problem now but we may have it in the future that is true you're watching r t

from moscow in a few minutes from now the fast fading friendship turkey's relations with israel to a new low party here is that it could impact palestinians hopes of getting u.n. recognition we've got the story. next. in libya rebels are detaining oil engineers and cooks from former soviet countries suspecting a move being programmed for the snipers to russians were later released along with the ukrainian couple after they managed to contact the russian embassy but more than a dozen ukrainians are still being held that is more if an option is in tripoli for us. 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 because what if for some reason the finger of slavic people are snipers we have nothing to do with that we came here to earn money peacefully to this 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 birds around twenty other ukrainians us to been held by the rebels here in tripoli this group of these green an 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 stink of serious issues. while the latest what we're hearing from bani walid southeast of the capital tripoli where the fighting over it off is lost 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 that 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 could also have fled the country we are receiving these reports just hours after khadafi information to bring in has claimed that the embattled colonel is in the country and has no plans to leave it and it's time soon. armory of financial reporting where will middle east analyst rosemary hollis from london city university told the she believes the war in libya could fuel british and french appetites for new interventions now as

she explains to r.t. in about twenty minutes time. cameron and how cozy 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 now 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. the kinds of europe's legal committee used to look closer at the swiss claims of fourteen european countries allegedly allowed the cia to operate secret prisons on their soil the report by politician dick marty says u.s. actions in those detention centers violated basic human rights and indeed taught

was widely used the use chief human rights commission is already huge poland lithuania and romania to come clean about their roles and told r.t. the countries need to decide if intelligence ties are more important than human rights there is an enormous pressure from washington to keep all this secret in fact instructions from from cia with the support of the way tell us not to give any facts on this so therefore it's not easy to investigate but i think that the some of the european governments have been involved they have to decide whether they think that the corporation between the security agencies are more important than to attack to look into human rights violations and break the ice for you know impunity . ukraine's losing its key bargaining chip in europe's energy industry it's been the only transit route for russian gas into europe but all that's about to change is prime minister putin explained during the launch of the nord stream gas pipeline

. religious liberty of. ukraine is on longstanding can't any transit country is always tempted to use its exclusive status as a transit state now ukraine will lose this privilege i believe our relations will evolve into an ever more civilized free market partnership. ukraine's using its status to try and secure discounts for russian gas as well as higher transcend fees such disputes lead to interruptions in fuel being pumped to europe back in two thousand and six and again in two thousand and nine well now the north stream pipeline travels directly from russia to europe bypassing ukraine and the middleman leverage more of how the pipeline will change your of energy map in our business bullet in just a couple of minutes. israel and turkey's former friendly relations a withering fast turkey suspending all trade military and defense ties the prime minister is threatening more sanctions against israel and

a visit to garza has already expelled israeli diplomats over the refusal to apologize for killing nine eight activists in last year's gaza flotilla raid paul asli is following the latest for us in tel aviv. the turkish prime minister and the one who 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 mamma now that was a turkish missile that took part in the first 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 savagely when he referred to the israeli behavior he also accused israel of behaving like

a spoiled 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 a 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 shaath in which he said that the turks had a campaign underway to help the palestinians be successful in may but 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 has also indicated that it is embarking on a diplomatic campaign to help them in their struggle 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. mideast correspondent paula slipped the tension between the two countries may cause some incidents even worse than the raid on the flotilla linden the structure of the institute for national security studies in tel aviv has been explaining to us at r.t. 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 the israeli navy and the turkish navy will enter a direct confrontation but there might be mistakes like the flotilla self in this

might be even worse than the flu to logan i don't think actually this crisis between israel and turkey has a direct effect on what will happen in the. of course the question is what will happen the day after the u.n. recognizes the palestinian state will that cause more violence no difference and then it will cause palestinian frustration. there's more now on our top story syria the head of the arab league stupid visit on wednesday to try and persuade president assad to end the six month long crackdown on the uprising there all this comes after e.u. countries imposed imposed an oil embargo against the country or to talk more about that diane is with the seize the european affairs advisor for marine le pen france's far right national front party leader mr dunne thanks for being on our to international do you say that oil embargo on syria yet the taps are going to be turned off into the middle of november while you wait do you think. thank you first of all thank you very much for inviting people of the opposition in the west

because of this feeling that the media in the west are not as objective as can be for example television like russia today so thank you for inviting me that. the thing is now that the libyan oil has been freed is that they are now more time to care about syria this is what i think first of all and secondly i think that. the media in the west are lying about the reality of the situation actually in syria so what is the. line for us what you think the actual reality is that. actually for example we have from our own party or intellectuals or writers who are very close to us have been to syria and just came back two weeks ago they have witnessed that it is not as bad as it seems actually they are problems in the region of homs for example where it's supposed to be much more smaller.

kind of not revolution and more religious backgrounds so ok we know that assad regime is an authoritarian but secular state what we do not want to see is that the west will try to put down and they will have an islamist state so two points i would say what you're very country's leading you calls out you your country for regime change in syria how close does that echo what happened in libya that found itself injuring a french led military campaign against it. where are they going wrong. i've seen that they're going wrong first of all because they are first thinking about signing oil contracts and gas contracts instead of talking with more about democracy which was i think the first idea of this intervention so i think first of all the philosophy was alive again we're seeing witnessing that this is not going

in the direction i don't see any more democracy. contracts or how is all this is the first how is how important is syrian oil for so much for centuries does it make your countries imports is i mean is this just a token gesture or what it really hit the oil import coming into your country. and i think that we will have i don't exactly know the figures. actually i know that we will have we had they had very good discussions with actual c. and t. . taking power in libya to discuss probably much better contracts much more interesting possibilities with oil and gas gas for italy or for friends in other countries probably military would move much more interesting for the industry for united states so all this is actually again just a big lie and i feel really bad for

a billion people who are really trying to struggle for something else and they're just having their state their country stolen away from another kind of. focusing on syria we've also heard the torture reports they are hard to verify can they be believed because we've also witnessed syria allowing red cross officials to visit one of its main prisons those widespread claims that dozens of anti-government activists were tortured to death what does that tell us about the regime's openness. i'm telling you we had two three major intellectuals of the. oppositions your friends from for example in for syria and for syria and france is very active to try to explain that there is no bloodshed in syria it's not true that there probably is regionally in some little locations but not every day so where's the bloodshed where is actually what are we talking about. we want

the truth and i'm so happy that they could hear again on russia today for example that people from kinetic can either our or other countries which belong to the brics you know that there are several countries as russia who do not want to harden hearten policies on russia on syria so where is the truth actually what is going on what do they want. ok i'm afraid we're out of time but thanks ever so much build a program that evicted the european affairs i phones of for a marine le pen france's foreign national. from a brussels today thank you well also news are up so far this far thanks for being with yourself to sports for you in twenty five minutes with the latest from the euro two thousand and twelve qualifiers and a lot more besides live business next though from moscow uli is here. hello and a very warm welcome to the business update and more on the opening of the north rim
