just after seven pm here in the russian capital you're watching r t the fighting continues in libya as rebel forces prepare to storm two of the remaining strongholds held by program off the forces well loyalists holed up in the towns of syrup and body will it have been given until saturday to surrender however they have vowed to resist despite the deadline and colonel gadhafi himself to release an audio message claiming he hasn't fled will never fully his homeland despite reports that his supporters have crossed the border into daybreak by jare the country's capital tripoli fell to rebels last month but there's no sign of life improving there as are these but if a national reports there's just as much fear of the streets as there is the joy of victory. 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 his roof for the second anniversary we put our flag instead we one we're so happy without him.

it seems in the last two weeks rebel fighters have fired bullets into the air they were shot during this whole town tripoli earlier in august. feel the pheno very relieved with. this new. piece. he told. me would that be the last we know you see him. out of them is that we don't really get that big and we're done all right when they are killed but away from jubilant crowds we meet those who are not so pleased. mom leaves in chief police 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 when i had no 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 let our children side 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 of the man says he also want to change and a brighter future for his country but not they sway. and people are dying on both sides of the cities destroyed and no one cares do they seriously think that they changed it for the better don't lie to yourself just look around is that what you wanted. and what is around is a scene of widespread destruction and social care as the badly damaged buildings matched by the rising stink of garbage and decomposing bodies junctures 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 but weeks have passed and there is still no sign of its presence on the ground or of all being raced towards the city functioning by itself and treading a fine line between freedom and anik a. rich notion of. tripoli libya. and still ahead for you this hour another gathering of the same old place crowds move again to tahrir square in cairo already anger at the new rulers. and president obama unveils his half a trillion dollar jobs act companies by stern warnings that there's no time left for political bickering. now russia will send

a fact finding mission to syria to get firsthand information on the situation there the decision was announced by the country's presidential envoy to africa and about again following his meeting with a delegation of syrian opposition leaders in moscow well they blame president bashar al assad for the political deadlock in syria say he's making the same fatal mistakes as libya's battle leader colonel gadhafi moscow however promises to do what's best to avert a libyan scenario in syria telling both sides of the conflict that it's time to move from the battlefield to the negotiating table president medvedev made this position clear in his latest interview artie's peter all over sums up the main points. president medvedev has warned against viewing the situation in syria in terms of good. seeing this careful consideration must be paid to certain elements within the syrian opposition before the international community. dealing with the president medvedev also called on both the assad government and the opposition to

bring about an end to violence in the country with. the resolutions we would approve to send a strong message to the syrian regime should in fact be addressed to both sides things aren't just black and white and the anti-government protesters in syria are not followers of some refined european models of democracy 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 russia may support certain moves but only if they don't boil down to the one sided condemnation of the government and president assad we should send a strong message calling on all the conflicting parties to come to the negotiating table start talks and stop the bloodshed. russia has opposed the sanctions that have been put in place on syria including the most recent ones imposing an oil embargo saying that more time should be given to the assad government to achieve the promises made to bring about change in the country the president mentioned

there 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 there. all abused as far as russia. with the international intervention going well beyond. the parameters laid out in the mandate they will deceive negotiation bring a peace if you syria well to hear president of veterans interview in full you can log on to our website dot com and there you can also find it more opinion as well as the timeline of the syrian uprising. well it was an event that stunned the world

and even a decade on it still leaves few people on moved the repercussions of nine eleven are still being felt today in the form of the now mind war on terror and yet it seems for the majority of the people who bore the brunt of the world's fury in the aftermath of the attacks nine eleven is just another day out of let's reports from afghanistan. helmand in southern afghanistan is the province this borne the brunt of the fighting between the taliban and coalition forces. afghans in this war torn province think about nine eleven and its consequences. while on patrol with the marines i get a first opportunity to ask a couple of young afghan men what they know about nine eleven but those who are going to. be here. never heard of. us. that's because because we are former we never heard about the need for the world more soccer. 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. this thing i just can see the smoke from the buildings and that's a little as we think you can see it when you guys show this picture you guys hang it so i think that was a call what if i just got here i would been surprised but having been here now for six months this is pretty much the stone ages where we are. about the rest. of the world the guy who said it was kabul was never going to kabul and he just shows you how isolated they're even in their own country. understand. that you know you don't think you know that america afghanistan come to this point and they get the airplane from here to attack in 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 really at that picture you go through fisherman yourself is what you see action looking at is this tactic for

you for mccain right. to be back. and saying help you to decide one funding and did this or ask how many funding and this is going to help you where is the have. done with this ng to give it to our kids again and to vote. fighting and they do it to their own kids in a paper that i don't and. i do sympathize or understand what your some are 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 feed yourself or her house yourself are you to care about somebody you know six thousand miles away. so i can understand how this is about i want to tell you that i never thought to ask those questions of anybody here that's why we're here amazingly in a country with ten years of war has been fought with nine eleven as its root cause and justification it turns out not only with the villages oblivious to nine eleven but still with the afghan police and even some of the translators working with the

u.s. military. and i have no idea what the search. 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 said 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 from afghanistan. no that's not only the afghan people who have no idea why the us invaded their home country americans themselves don't understand the point of the war that's the view of peter hart from the national media washroom fair based in new york. was in the united states has made substantial efforts to. sort of conventional propaganda in afghanistan to explain the u.s. occupation in the war there it's not working out he says not reaching a lot of people and i think you know we were less worried here about what taliban

propaganda can do this where that way then with what the u.s. media establishment can do they have a difficult time convincing americans that the war makes sense at this point it makes perfect it's perfectly logical that afghans have no i. american troops are there so i think if anything we share this kind of befuddlement must continue and must go on. we have a media system in this country that i think it was unable fires state power instead of question. if we had i think serious reporting from afghanistan that talked to afghans people might feel some sympathy toward them and wonder what exactly the point of the war is for. now the world's ice hockey community remains in mourning the loss of almost the entire lokomotiv team after their plane crashed on wednesday forty three people died when the yak forty two crashed on takeoff in the russian city of yet us level people also gathered in prague to remember three check the

nationals who were among the very top players killed hundreds have been laying flowers and shards of the names of the former world champions in their memory can also have been that also at the bratislava hockey stadium to remember the once the market player who died the two countries that are still cautious also spoke about the tragedy. i worked in your islam i had the best done of my career that this past spring i flew with all those people by the same plane but it is a huge shock for the team and also for this city pavel was a great person and a great hockey player he was a legend of slow mike ice hockey sometime in february or may next year i would still trying to convince him to return back to the national team. it's hard even to talk about we've lost players in their prime but with the hard core of the national team i knew them very well even though they were playing abroad still they were always trying to get better because. it didn't just want to be part of

a system they wanted to know the details of their positions and how to best score we took a huge interest in what they did i really enjoyed working with them. now with burns to ninety percent of his body the only surviving locomotive player on that plane alex either going to give up remained conscious saw for the crash and insisted on seeing his relatives the player is still in intensive care where his condition is critical but there's also another player who did get on that plane after being told to stay behind by the coach on our web site r.t. dot com you can read about the full story of. this is very terrifying to me the hockey team is like a family i lost a family of forty people people i missed close to for such a long time. and to the belorussian capital minsk the locomotive team was heading on that fateful flight a special coming up commemoration ceremony has been held thousands of fans packed into the stadium to remember those who perished in wednesday's disaster and. as we

look at to the preliminary results from the flight recorders of that tragic flight we suggest the engines were intact at the time of the catastrophe and we have seen a c.c.t.v. pictures on your screen now that capture the moment a huge ball of smoke rises into the air as the plane burst into flames more details on our web page that's our team dot com. people living in the west bank are rising up in a campaign for statehood ahead of the u.n. vote on palestine's fate at the end of september massive coordinated rallies are planned across the west bank and the leaders of the demonstrations say they are determined to keep them peaceful even if israeli forces move in and try to stop them palestinians a valid to carry on until they achieve sovereignty and u.n. membership however washington says it will veto the bit if it's put to the u.s. security council and that's despite support expected for most other member states and such backing could provide crucial leverage for resolving the settlement issue with israel according to

a cuban eldar chief political commentator for the ha'aretz newspaper. the frankly the one hundred thirty or one hundred forty men. both will raise their hands in favor of recognizing palestine. a sovereign state will mean a lot for for israel for you could patient for the settlements since even if the un does not accept them as full members one hundred thirty or one hundred forty countries will say the israeli occupation is unacceptable they will be able to become members of international organizations such as the nurse go which means. they will have something to say about the israeli control over the holy sites in east jerusalem in the old city of jews and. and i believe that this will be a kind of a snowball it may start

a kind of process there may end up with more isolation of or israel was more sanctions israel is losing the support of the international community and the palestinians are getting more and most sympathy president barack obama has presented as much anticipated jobs act to congress the ambitious program aims to reverse the country's troubling unemployment statistics and it also calls for almost half a trillion dollars in funding and came with a blunt warning to republicans to stop the political circus and pass the measures offer more perspective on this side now dr ali mcgrath founder of the wide awake news website mr mcgrath so now that president obama's along the way the jobs plan is out what's your verdict you think it has what it takes to get unemployment under control. i mean we have to be forced to think you know a couple things i mean you know number one it was just a little year ago we spent one point three trillion in stimulus that was going to keep the last eight percent unemployment for three tree military factory no

interest in. two thousand and one were nine percent unemployment but are you three number. it's not even news anymore this is just the condition of our nation i mean the same statistics show that four plus thousand people filed for first time unemployment claims last week again this is the new normal we live in an age of forty plus thousand buying first time claims nine plus percent unemployment and governing by crisis every event that comes down the pike there is a crisis in washington d.c. and the answer is always the same we will spin spin spin but we find out what happens when we do this spending is special interest is served and they're the only ones that reap the benefits so while the president the republicans and the democrats really there's no difference between the two while the red and blue team are out there touting and patting each other on the back about another half trillion dollars worth of spending main street in the united states certainly you

know if history is a guide we'll model in a business time its in its right rather a new approach from bamma isn't i mean before he was he had to it's almost like a broad stroke but this time he's he says he's introducing a new tax breaks instead of a directly injecting capital what are your thoughts on the specific points of the plan that he just presented well you know it's the first of all it was a broad stroke so you came out with last night there was no specifics and now the specifics are starting to come out in fact i don't quite a bit of research on it this morning but if we take a look at just one of the tax rates a four thousand dollars payroll tax break you know in the united states that funds a minimum wage worker for fourteen weeks and it might be important because you know it seems to be the only job you can create here is minimum wage workers but in reality this isn't help you know what's going in to help the poor this is going to end up helping use the same special interest who we've been helping all along i don't see any difference with this stimulus plan plan than i do the one point three trillion dollars stimulus plan it will be written by and for special interest one

thing that's very interesting with this bill in fact a.p. reported this morning you know last night the president said. it was funded when you read into the details of this bill it's more washington d.c. cooking the books it's not funding this thing will be dead on arrival this will be it will go to the floor and we will have a made for t.v. drama debate just like we did with raising our debt ceiling just like we did for the budget crisis we had a few months before that but when it's all said and done when they make their sausage in d.c. and they slap each other on the back and say they've made a deal for the american people what did we end up with with the last two will we now have a body of government in this nation that once was five hundred thirty five members of the house and the senate we would have that down to a twelve member super committee and in fact details coming out today shows that the president plans to send his four hundred forty seven billion dollar bill to the super committee so they can figure out where to make the cuts and how to fund this

thing so for him to come out last night and say it is fully funded is just more washington ease just more cooking the books i just very very briefly political bickering are we going to see more of that absolutely this is a political stunt we are you know fourteen months away from the twenty two election this is a made for t.v. drama and personally i don't think either side benefits from working with the other side to make a deal both of them benefit by holding it up pointing the finger giving the people of this country mad at each other you know if you're on the red team or supposed to hate the blue team and vice versa they will use this as a political tool to me talking points for the next year going into our twenty twelve election thank you very much maria and charlie i graphed founder of the wide awake news website thank you paul meanwhile economic shuffles are also happening across the atlantic a greece has given bags and cherries and almost sixty countries until later today to decide whether they will accept its debt exchange offer athens is trying to cut the deal unless it gets at least ninety percent participation which would give the

country a short cashflow relief efforts for the rescue greece took a hit after athens admitted it won't be able to meet its deficit reduction deadlines. and turkey has vowed to sue israel in the international court over its blockade of gaza it's already cut all military and trade ties with television after an excuse to apologize for killing nine turks last year they were part of a humanitarian flotilla that tried to break through the blockade and israel had imposed that in two thousand and seven after him asking to power in the palestinian authority the turkish prime minister promised that in the future the navy will escort a chip's traveling to the gaza strip. in egypt crowds are gathering again in cairo's tahrir square urging interim military rulers to accelerate democratic reforms and announce a concrete hard life for handover to civilian rule there also demanding an end to military trials for civilians but the so-called million man protest is likely to become one of the largest demonstrations since of february uprising however

president of the arab wars associations are believes islamised groups will ultimately benefit from the everest the various political movements vying for all of that trying to show who is bigger than the i think this demonstration it's only the liberals not taking a side is accusing the other one of trying to show the power of the islamists not. about the election because well for the election you know it takes they will definitely get higher votes than the liberals and then the searches will continue i think the egyptian people will not accept the military continue to be in power this by the fact that most of the military as everybody knows are the same old team of mubarak people who were handpicked by mubarak with the approval of the americans the americans would be happy for the military to stay there but i don't think they're egyptian people without well russia has marked seventy years since

the beginning of one of the longest and deadliest c. gists in the history of world war two the leningrad blockade peter all of our talk to those few the survive the eight hundred seventy to date nightmare. this is where the blockade began on the eighth of september nineteen forty one german troops arrived here occupying the city of berg it's the last line connection to leningrad cutting off the city supply of food a military equipment. of course you can watch peter all over his interviews with the survivors in full as always on our website s.r.t. dot com well for now it's time for business with marina. hello and welcome to business here on our team now in the wake of the plane crashing at us president dmitry medvedev has called for widespread reform of the aviation sector although the cause of the disaster is not yet known the industry has recognised problems such as poor maintenance agent facilities and weak

regulation well part of the overhaul is likely to include a radical reduction and the number of airlines. they raised one hundred to. one hundred thirty ten execute eighty five percent. so basically ten is sixty two quite a wart and i mean one hundred twenty even more so before this one hundred twenty go to zero actually and then i mean even ten it's quite a lot so there should be a probably five to seven lines in russia three or four really. competing. lines and. read you know maybe really relying on governments of board because really you know transfers are not that profitable so this is this came to be true should more. let's take a look at the markets now we'll start with oil prices there are down as investors
