line of the war on terror but it's people don't even know why. just after two pm here in the russian capital you're watching r t a confrontation between the libyan rebels and program off the forces shows no sign of easing battles have been raging near the towns of sirte and bani walid two of the few remaining strongholds of the fallen regime forces loyal to the colonel fire rockets from body will lead or two of gadhafi sons are believed to be leading the armed resistance well that's despite be interim government is seeking to negotiate a peaceful resolution the deadline for gadhafi loyalists to surrender has been extended to this saturday as for the colonel himself in his latest audio message the ousted leader claimed he was still in libya and vowed he'd never leave his homeland meanwhile life in the libyan capital still struggles after falling into

rebel hands the solid retore moved quickly down by fears of anarchy settling more and more if it is a tripoli for. a city celebrates for more than ten days than even capital has been rejoicing in the dictator's fall. he wanted to bring his quarter here in the central square for the second anniversary to report our flag instead we once were so happy without him. it seems in the last two weeks rebel fighters have fired don't seem to be here they were shot during this whole town tripoli earlier. this. week he told. me all the people we know you see him. last word of wisdom is that we don't

know again that we don't know what they are like with a lawyer but away from jubilant crowds we meet those who are not so pleased a man lives in tripoli's district historically pro khadafi when the rebels arrived his sister was badly injured she's still in hospital in tunisia other one doesn't want to show his face on camera and ceased want to hidden location for the interview he says revolution has brought much fear in its wake. there is no peace there is no safety in the city we don't want our children outside when it's dark we are afraid we always wait for something bad when gadhafi was here at least we didn't have to sleep awake what we do know. up the little man says he also want to change and the brighter future for his country but they sway. people are dying on both sides of the cities destroyed or no one cares do they seriously think that

they changed for the better don't want you so just look around is that what you wanted and what is around is a scene of widespread destruction and social chaos the badly damaged buildings matched by the rising stink of garbage and decomposing bodies youngsters roam the streets barely old enough to understand that what they carry are weapons not toys many shops schools and hospitals are closed while the cities symmetries are growing bigger and bigger. shortly after tripoli fell into rebel hands the national transitional council libya's new authority claimed it was moving here from benghazi it weeks have passed and there is still no sign of its presence on the ground zero of order being restored the city is functioning by south and treading a fine line between freedom and anik

a. rich notion of. tripoli libya. now russia is willing to support different approaches to resolve the situation in syria as long as they send signals to both sides of the conflict and president medvedev made this position clear in an interview after the global policy for all parties peter all over has more. president medvedev has warned against viewing the situation in syria in terms of goods and bads saying that careful consideration must be paid to certain elements within the syrian opposition before the international community jumps on side to dealing with the president yet have also called on both the assad government and the opposition to bring about the ends of violence in the country and we can probably. i believe the resolutions we would approve to send a strong message to the syrian regime should in fact we address to both sides things aren't just black and white the anti-government protesters in syria are not followers of some refined european models of democracy there are different groups

within the opposition some of them are to put it straight extremists and some might even be called terrorists the situation is not that simple and we have to take into account the balance of different forces and interests of russia and they support us but only if they don't boil down to the one sided condemnation of the. we should send a strong message calling on all the conflicting parties to come to go see a timetable to start talks stop the bloodshed this is also in russia's interest because russia has always been syria's friend countries have close economic and political ties that's why we'll continue to look for solutions to the situation in syria. russia opposed the sanctions that have been put in place on syria including the most recent ones imposing an oil embargo more time should be given to the assad government to achieve the promises made to bring about change in the country the president mentioned that negotiation is important and russia is playing its part as

a mediator on friday representatives of the. syrian opposition are in moscow for talks with top russian diplomats on monday representatives from the assad government will be here to talk to diplomats to try and bring an end to this situation in syria russia of course doesn't want to go see syria go down the same road as what happened in libya with the u.n. resolution that was imposed. all abused. the international intervention going well beyond the parameters laid out in the mandate they want to see negotiation bring a peace is syria. and you can see the full version of that interview with president. gave to your news television on our website that's our dot com. meanwhile we've got plenty more in store for you this hour including president obama presents his four hundred billion dollars jobs package with critics

here. never heard of. and can us know where it is we don't know if that's because because we are former we never heard about anything else about the world pickguard more suck up. to young men and clearly never heard of nine eleven. but maybe the elders of the local sure would have more to say you know you see in. this ng i just can see the smoke from the buildings and that's a good as anything i can say when you guys show this picture. i think it was a call what if i just got here i would be surprised but having been here now for six months this is pretty much the stone ages where we are. told what to do about their reactions. to the old guy who said it was kabul was never going to kabul he just shows you how isolated there are even in their own country he demanded what i want to. do you know you don't think you know you're going to america afghanistan

come to this point and get the airplane from here to the united states you know how much. thought it was nice to go from iraq to then here is a lot easier to understand you know why you're here and do you see at that picture goes good fisherman yourself is this look at this article where you form occurring right. back. in saying going to help you to decide one funding ended this or ask how many funding and this is going to help you where is the head of. them working this is going to give it to our kids. an end to the fighting and they do it to their own kids in a paper that i don't read and write. but i do sympathize or understand what you're some were saying it's even just from the weather we've had recently people losing their homes and nobody to help them so you know when you have when you can't feed yourself there's her house yourself are you to care about somebody you know six thousand miles away. so i can understand this but this is all you know about it was

about the future that i never thought to look at sort of questions of. anybody here that's why we're here amazingly in a country where for ten years a war has been for with nine eleven as its root cause and justification it turns out that not only were the villages oblivious to nine eleven but still with the afghan police and even some of the translators working with the u.s. military you don't know that this is what it is it is not. serious at the other scenes for. a survey taken in twenty ten by the international council on security and development found that ninety two percent of afghan men in helmand and other afghan provinces had no idea what nine eleven was with american troops that start with during this year it seems likely that they will leave afghanistan without the vast majority of afghans ever having really understood why they came in the first place adam clips from afghanistan for i know that on our website r.t. dot com adam plats recalls how he came up with the idea of filming that story he

says how u.s. marines once told them of the day one was high over an afghan village that the troops told elders how the united states had sent them out to vote and they burst into laughter that made adam wonder what else the afghans didn't know you could read more of this week alexis complete with pictures and. that's part of our continuing special coverage of the tenth anniversary of nine eleven. terrorist attack that became synonymous with pure evil. the senseless slaughter of almost three thousand people stunned the world. and in all. seemed like a nightmare. ten years on. marquis remembers the attacks and its aftermath. a look back at nine eleven on r g. the palestinians have started their campaign for statehood ahead of the september twentieth vote in the united nations but dr ron put up chairman of the palestinian

israeli peace forum says that there are forces in both israel and palestine that would like violence to erupt in the build up to the un vote. now what is happening between us and the pretty soon you will be judged by whether there will be along with a seam lines between the israeli forces and the palestinians and also between the palestinians and the settlements with their west bank but as much as i understand the interest of both sides is not to reach any. both sides to provoke with the force and the strength of the two governments would be to try and calm down these provocations and not to be carried away by the. which would be to heat the area because they don't want to see quiet as quiet is a message for the future for the hope for the peace for service and these people don't want to see peace and

barack obama has presented his much anticipated jobs act to congress it earmarks more than four hundred billion dollars for putting people back to work but critics say it's too little too late art is going to explain. president obama addressed the lawmakers he put forward measures to create jobs and stimulate the sluggish economy at the u.s. has seen several years of massive job loss unemployment remains over nine percent we're talking about millions of people living jobless in this country congress might cut off unemployment benefits starting next year and the jobless in america will find themselves in an even more dire situation president obama in his address called for the congress to extend benefits for the unemployed he also suggested tax incentives for small businesses another measure he put forward is giving money we're talking about one hundred forty billion dollars to states and local governments so that they can keep you know the teachers and firefighters employed also hire infrastructure workers so that those workers can go out and spend money

and keep the consumption going although experts are saying that the stimulus plan obama is suggesting will not really bring the u.s. economy out of the woods because it will create in the best scenario around one and a half million jobs but it takes eleven million jobs new jobs just to get back to the pre recession level there's a lot of skepticism out there in congress many lawmakers are not happy with obama's spending plans while obama is not happy with the lawmakers unwillingness to compromise what's frustrating to many here is that this package of one hundred forty billion dollars in direct stimulus is being debated so fiercely where is the bill giving nearly a trillion dollars a year on defense purposes and on wars gets passed easily and quietly that surely leaves many americans really frustrated about their representatives on. i'll be back with a recap of our top stories in just a moment but first a business update with dmitri.

thank you watching business r.t. the gas dispute between russia and ukraine is reaching breaking point here insist on lower prices moscow says it's ready to negotiate but the basics of the agreement will not be changed. with them we are ready to discuss different ways to cooperate with ukraine including ukraine joining the customs union or a reverse meant present in ukraine's economy and it goes transportation network if we agree on these we might be ready to change our scheme of cooperation but either way it will be based on a pricing formula i hope that our ukrainian partners will follow the existing contract and for the immediate future we'll agree on that. for the first time a foreign investor may come to russia's pipe making industry the country's furred largest manufacturer of steel pipes is in talks to sell a twenty five percent stake to france's volatile rick commerce and daily says the deal worth four hundred million dollars is expected to be completed in october chel

pipe has long been struggling to attract investment to pay its debt and fund further development the russian company made two attempts to raise capital with a public offering but had to cancel the plant due to uncertainty in the market and the fears of a nother global downturn coupled with sovereign debt woes have put a damper on russia's privatization plans among the biggest in the plan the state could postpone the sale of a seven point six percent stake in burbank the current market volatility has resulted in a twenty percent decline in lending share price has melbourne that city believes the government could implement another strategy to help privatisation stay on course. i think it's not just in russia that people are persuading potations it's clearly a global phenomenon which is single out russian so to keep out as a result of that there are other ways of doing it so for example one clever idea might be if the government passes that they were thinking of privatizing and inject

them into a pension fund for example which would kill two birds with one stone or one he would give a very large amount of capital to a pension for all of the other hand it would actually make the market i think quite enthusiastic because it would give internal domestic sources of capital and indeed internal domestic pressure to increase eels returns and dividends so there might be one. clever solution to try to get around that issue. to move to the markets now is down as investors fear obama's proposed jobs act worth more than four hundred billion dollars is indeed too little too late to jolt the troubled u.s. economy brant blend is a down at one hundred fourteen and a half dollars per barrel w.t.r. is around eighty nine. european stocks are trading in the red zone led by losses in porsche following the lay in its merger with volkswagen agee pushes down seven point seven percent at this hour. is up more than ten percent after the company

always the most dangerous months in global equity markets historically that's when investors conference capitulate and we're heading into a very similar and therefore dangerous period in this october confidence is clearly very fragile if the economic indicators in early october are bad we are vulnerable to another october style selloff i think particularly when we start seeing the third quarter financial results from the u.s. banks and that's going to be a very critical period if those numbers are bad or if the banks you know start talking much more negatively than they have been about the environment i think that could undermine confidence and we could have an october crash so we're very vulnerable to an october crash this year more than any other year in the last ten years next up on and see the headlines with staples for that. the fixed. news.
