but for moscow this is r.t. it's kevin owen here tonight for a good having with this is a lot of stories banking on sanctions the e.u. is all about on syria could backfire because energy firms are cashing in on pumping for over two months fueling the very regime that. southern europe braces for austerity and gives it to me in spades trying to push through more savage cuts small yard yourself as a greece appear to be on time. i'm not in a posting for the switch from a new undersea gas pipeline to europe curbing euphrasia status as a replaceable middleman which confused before to negotiate discounts written

suppliers. let's focus in on libya again now where the rebels are reportedly reached a deal to enter one of the remaining gadhafi strongholds without violence more insight into what's happening in libya with a leading middle east analyst in artie's interview next. you i'm joined by rosemary hall is the professor of middle east policy studies at city university in london rosemary thanks for speaking to r.t. so how well has the international community handled the libyan crisis will you make a distinction between the nato members some of whom are extremely proud of what's been achieved so far in libya and the broader international community who are adjusting to developments in libya and deciding to be on the side of the future though not every government around the world has yet recognized and accepted the national transitional council as the government so did they do the right thing to begin with i think the u.n.

responded to an emergency the arab league made a plea for some sort of intervention to save the citizens of benghazi from massacre . but only over the last several months have we all realized the extent to which britain and france in particular nato in general basically entered the war determined to get off the side when there seems to be an assumption that the new government of libya will be automatically in the old or contracts will just be renewed but is that really going to be the case do you think i'm not sure that. it the new libyan government will be pro-west there are three or four signals so far that they're very firmly nationalist for example is that they're not extraditing any libyan including abdel baset or mccarthy who was convicted of the lockerbie bombing and the americans wanted. he's now close to death and living in tripoli

and the national transitional council says that's where he stays the other signals are that they're talking about yes it would be nice to have u.n. help preparing for elections but no we don't want international observers there drawing the line where they think it should be drawn between what's their business and what international help is useful for this is a good thing to do i think it's essential for the survival of the next new libyan government that they be seem to be more libyan than a tool of the west to the west realize that in thinking in how dangerous is this kind of scramble for influence it's a good question how do western players realize that they are a kind of liability i think only with difficulty do they realize this they assume that they've got the best interests of not only themselves but the libyans to heart and can be an amicable mutually beneficial understanding reached what

yeah they talk about democracy in a way that suggests they can only see the western version the british government certainly has been very keen to stress that this will not be another iraq and they've learned those lessons but do you think that's really the case have they really learned those lessons it seems that every political generation every generation of politicians thinks that they can achieve things that the previous one didn't until they try it they won't say any different so cameron and 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 whoa maybe but the cost in resources in manpower in struggle that is to come i mean there will have to be

massive support in humanitarian terms in the near term there will be more fighting it is taking casualties and there's a lot of rebuilding to do and reconciliation between the factions and therefore it's not over and done with in terms of commitment of western manpower time and energy and resources how much potential is there for this to turn into another iraq is it on the right course now because it's a cliche to say it but you know the comparisons can only be taken so far with iraq that libya is a very different place and some calculations had to do with the fact that it seemed simpler to intervene in libya it was a smaller population spread out mostly along the coast with long exposed roads in between the main towns and cities that presented targets that

nato aerial intervention looked capable of exploiting to good effect on the ground . how to say. what we hear about. various people from the m i six type sector but certainly special forces as a u.s. and so on operating on the ground. this is very much. the kind of proxy war which must be extremely exciting and exhilarating at some level to be involved so it's more likely it seems to me that in that sense the appetite. for further interventions will exist as opposed to this is the template for. the triumph of humanitarianism over. warfare what about the national transitional council they've promised that within eighteen months they'll have a new constitution and elections is that possible well the lesson for all. the

other revolutions in the region and egypt is that there's good reasons to delay elections if you think you can organize sensible heroine and different contrast with competing political parties if you have more time so it rather depends where the people are going to vote as think did in iraq in the initial elections on name recognition or on sectarian loyalties in this case possibly in libya on tribal loyalties all rural urban divide. name recognition rather than choosing between different party platforms but an inclusive assembly to devise and choose and approve a constitution may not be such a bad thing the u.k. government is already sending out is that they've run frozen but is that a little bit naive given what happened in iraq with

a lot of money going missing i think it's essential if you've invested in the national transitional council you certainly have to hand over the money to them you can't then say but we don't trust you to spend it correctly because then you are verging on doing what the americans did in iraq which is saying we could we can organize iraq better than the iraqis do you trust them to think do you think make a point of doing it i think there's going to be retribution i think there's going to be continued conflict in neighborhoods in. out lying regions of the country i think it's going to take a long time for the libyans to find their way to. completely different part you look at duffy invented was a very peculiar system it was supposed to be democracy for the masses with grassroots assemblies making the decisions it was nothing of the kind it was a dictatorship and those around the kernel operated out of

fear as much as greed trying to suck up to him lots of people were implicated where do you draw the line who was too bad to be forgiven who needs prosecuting and will it be victor's justice or will it be the kind of like none of us justice is about inclusiveness and building together now the libyans need to work all that out in the meantime they've got to pay salaries to get the basic tasks of life including policing and the court system operating if during that period they are challenge to sign contracts with international companies and have to make decisions which end up reinforcing the role of the state in the commercial sector in the economy and include inducements from those companies to secure the contracts against the competition then we're back into the

danger zone that this will not be a wholly transparent and un corrupt regime. the jury's out western leaders have stressed to the rebels the need to avoid revenge attacks and for tolerance yet they've also said that nato airstrikes will continue for as long as gadhafi is a threat mixed messages but i know from my experience of. conversations with arabs and different parts of the arab world over many years that they never take the statements of the west at face value they always assume as they hear it and and they are positive. we expect. double standards so on this particular occasion it suits the rebels as well as the nato powers to fudge the truth about who's on the side of right and who's doing all the killing and what the consequences are but will this lead to revenge attacks already

within the rebels rounding up sub-saharan black africans accusing them of being lonesome rates that is appalling and there will be questions for the future of the economy how much i tender and labor do they need even the egyptians who were working for the libyans before the revolution have had rough treatment and have gone home planet us people from east asia have been in the same bind and you're seeing a version of racism and prejudice coming out against anybody who is black on suspicions that gadhafi recruited mercenaries from sub-saharan africa but. the truth is a mixture of things yes some mercenaries how witting how understanding they were of what they got involved in one doesn't know but that a lot of innocents are getting caught up in this absolutely but that is the nature of war and so despite not so cozy and cameron and anybody else may wish to do to

dress this up as a glorious rescue of the ordinary people against a vicious nic trade in fact it's war and bad things happen in real thank you. for the full story we've got it for. the biggest issues get a human voice face to face with the news makers.

hello there welcome to. stories or not to you give this latest. go to russia say it's all it's in the all important you're trying to troll qualifying here in moscow despite playing still chances. pull dates on this is a total chunk of advances into only her second grandstand pool sun also in a williams is up next for the russian in new york. and causing a splash russia's claims the highest storm called just in history on the way to winning the final world series exotic event of the season. but let's start with a world where russia had been taken islands in the euro trying to twelve qualifying campaign here in the russian capital russia dominated both bigger sim self got

close to breaking the deadlock in the twenty first minute but the shot was saved by irish shake given. and the same man tonight another sense of strike forty three minutes into the game after pinpoint pass from the jury course. also had a few chances to score on the exchange goalless the irishman found their rhythm after the break points in the final minutes it was the house back and attacked the mood to take a look at things around a side that would run minutes ago to go once again keeping it safe for the base to make full time goals followed its own brain a million pounds and that many russia still top of the barca talent stake behind. some of its back could in the joint top of the table if they beat him then out there and then as themselves having given out. roots i said don't know how strong until both those games are now in progress and. it's still goals.

where this year's us open was russians playing in the quarter finals has long been so but unfortunately not one of them after being knocked out by world number one current. had looked to be in control midway through the match that sets up and leading for one in the second but there's nothing that isn't world's best for nothing. like opening round defeats in toronto and cincinnati right before the event stormed back in the second set to get seven five three chance to decide this six one and the match. the win was pretty strong out there today it came from from the back just went back where you once. yeah i mean from one so you really have to get through the ball to get going and from the other side you that's why i chose not to play too deep but you know i mean it was a massive battle out there. you know if we had

a few of those before. here two years ago. if there was an honest the simple logic of a side to going from justice people on a in the last sixteen the russian losing to the telling veteran in their previous three grand slam meetings but the twenty year old putting that right on a five seven six three six four scoreline so the little chunk of an hour this russian ladies with a chance to take the title at washington others. will think of his next hurdle serena williams is looking in top form an advantage and able to stay in the game against the overall favorite losing six three six thought the twenty nine year old saw. their one previous career. and young good tips are a bitch have made a grand slam history by setting up a clash with each other it's the first time in the open air that will face off in the quarterfinals of a major tournament briefly caught off guard in the opening set of its last sixteen

and come out against poor after the world number one regrouped and managed to recover seven six six four six to ten the twenty four year old holds a two zero lead. over coming opponent to. take me to. go to federal will be sleeping in this morning i'll take your match with one more not only started knights new york try and express dominated six one six two six love. trouble for its own gunmen while halted surging local credit modification in an epic five set twenty six year old seizing the initiative learned by saving three break ranks of the. next two sets before the french went through with the decider to. now a cliff diving season has ended with the red bull world series grand finale in ukraine russia's are ripping up his companion style is to claim his sole state

victory over the year with the highest score. or not. seek out of this world feelings that's why the sport's most prestigious competition the red blue world series keeps thrilling all across the planet to discover new locations to host their breathtaking events for the final stage of the season thirteen high flyers made their way to the swells neath castle one of ukraine's main places of interest on the crimean sure of the black sea all eyes were on the following pair englishman barry hunt who entered the event as the newly crowned champion for stage wins in a row seeing the briton retain his world title two weeks ago in boston and the men who see it second in the overall standings russia still. are to him sitting always

looking to claim their first event when it was to believe after the first three rounds of the confusion flawless execution putting the burnished native ahead of punt and then to the finals the top six now left to do battle in the shadow of the castle grill and greet hunt once again on wishing he's facing the pack the so-called triple what although it was still the show at sunday's event demonstrating one of the hardest dives to sport has ever seen epic on stand with blank entry the russian entering the water with his head held high the outcome clear before the judges had even showed their scores i first took place the podium finish of the season with twenty seven year old and fourth of his career however it turned out to be more than just

a win sujan claiming the highest total score you can petition. has ever seen the. most it's not my first win but it's definitely the most precious one for me i'm second in the overall standings but here i have proved to be the best it's a very happy mood for me while i was. preparing for my dives it was kind of strange knowing that the pressure of the series was off everyone else was fighting for places and i was just taken as an indoor vidual competition after winning the first two stages this year nine turn world champion area under the kid was forced to leave the completion due to injury but he's now recovered leading the twenty twelve season he's gearing up to be one of the most thrilling on record. the workweek diving series twenty eleven have just come to an end with all the best efforts of the sport having taken their owners but the point is that each

of those who take part in this and this will rise in competition can be safely called an outstanding sportsman. r.t. crane. and finally whatever goes up must come down and these guys make a living out of it their russian passion nost has recently dominated europe in freefall style and the curacao lending championships in serbia but also gorski looks at the trials and tribulations taste by those high flying and fast landing competitors. ascending to cruising altitude of one thousand meters is followed by a swift freefall bag down with virtually no margin of error the competitor is expected to land on a time with a dead center sweet spot only two centimeters in diameter and while such consistent precision landings may seem far fetched to the uninitiated they are considered to be the fundamentals of the sport. every athlete must always learn the basics of

their school before going any further calculating a jump is the most fundamental aspect of parachute sports and safety that's why i believe all youngsters should start with a classic parachuting discipline we've got kids coming in at sixteen years old some of you go it's become to new world champions by twenty. the individual acrobatics program meanwhile requires one to twist and turn in the air at an alarming rate and simply executing flashing christe movements is not enough either. the judges getting the opposite of bird's eye view for this event to see if participants can keep a straight of the trajectories possible while they perform the flips and like in every sport be a successful high flying daredevil requires a specific skill set and personality profile. size being brave i believe anyone participating in the sport must be physically confederates and have coordination. that will definitely help for insurance but playing billiards will

help one make more precise landing calculations russian women proving to be the bravest in serbia taking over all honors in dominating fashion the czech schol just a little bit more savvy than the russians in the men's event goal to win gold frenchwoman deborah planned for zero meanwhile set a world record for her lending precision six consecutive landings just once a meter off putting her exactly where she wanted to be every time a total of seventeen countries taking to the skies were. his main parachuting man hopes for more local support in getting high. he wins have always had dreams of reaching for the skies and clawing we created planes and rockets and the sport that we have today is another manifestation of that desire to fly safely our government will notice and help our efforts allowing us to raise our level of performance. and while the more grounded stewards seem to get more exposure these daredevils are hoping this competition continues to take off in russia and worldwide yvonne's of

course r.t. ok that's all from me on this process and i was next.
