and two o'clock in the morning here in moscow russia's capital this is r.t. certainly glad to have you with us british prime minister david cameron has promised more financial aid to libya's new rulers he's been visiting the country with french president nicolas sarkozy in support of the government they bombed into power cameron has also sent a strong message to colonel gadhafi and his followers still waging war in libya to give up the fight both leaders of one for the nato mission against the forces will continue as long as they feel it's necessary to protect the civilians as they claim meanwhile and get off the fighters say they have entered syria to one of the last cities a loyal to the ousted leader or to use more information is in tripoli with the latest. french president also cause he and which prime minister david cameron to haley where first of all to show their support for the country's new authorities

for the national transitional council both political and financial since this visit comes just days before all deliveries will be resumed and also a miniature he said paul it's not surprising that these two leaders have become the first to visit khadafi free libya these two countries france and britain have played a crucial role in the current maybe the revolution because of course he has said that nato will continue to fall mainly beer and ministry facilities. here in leave it till the rebels take control over the whole the country fighting so continues over at least for gadhafi stronghold including. the colonel's hometown city some six hundred kilometers east of the capital tripoli and bani walid today in the south told. me about russia's foreign ministry has announced today that they will call for a no fly zone to be lifted saying is it's no longer tied to protecting. civilians

just ahead of these two leaders visit here to tripoli the head of the national judicial council mr fogg has pledged that both the course and cameron will be safe he's mentioned that because the security situation in the country here in the capital tripoli remains a very tough very difficult very complicated and still while there still remain several pockets all over the libya where still held by khadafi forces even in the capital it's not equally well how by by the rebels and not all the districts here in libya are supporting the new authorities here's my report about that. and months after tripoli fell into rebels hands those who backed the old regime remain defiant but fearful in parts of the city the rebels triumphant campaign feels like it's never happened or did so somewhere else. that we will do anything

for moammar only moammar even if we have to give our own life. seven support for the ousted leader to solve once they see our camera interview with their hero like the one with the weird television how could you tell the camera why. it's the same situation with others two. hundred percent good we don't want this revolution we don't know the rebels we want them to go away like we are on television without the american you know your camera no no thanks all right gave her the camera they will send the good to her own all the criminals we don't know them you call them the rebels a guy still remember enough the black guy he was arrested a few days ago after hearing hearing on t.v. don't do that you tags new slogans new speeches. the rebels were out celebrating again this week when they had of the national transitional council

libya's new authority arrives in the capital before a large crowds even libyans in no doubt about who's really here. those who don't support mr father those only you and who we used to see all across the city proudly waving green flags just weeks ago back in khadafi now trying not to leave their own backyards here there are bridge there. with many. of you. have. stuff it is effectively gone then you also have settled down here in the capital tripoli people are chanting that is give free country but it seems that there is at least one thing that still remains of all the. fear. one youngster finally agrees to talk because there are tripoli is now under the control of the national

transitional council and we don't feel we have freedom to talk or to express. an opinion. in favor of gadhafi that can kill us and the rest of us of course man or not fire him. the nineteen year old says many of his friends have been arrested recently for making critical state about new regime ironically we're talking just a kilometer away from one of the doctors top secret jails for political prisoners known as abu sleen don't believe the rebels they only represent themselves not the libyan people of this revolution started with killings to intimidate through fear their houses are covered in blood and misty international has recently accused both gadhafi regime and the one which replaced it of committing war crimes including killings and torture of military prisoners and civilians. have been felt by some here that more is in store. roof notion r t tripoli

libya. john laughland a from the institute for democracy and cooperation in paris says that the cameron sarkozy visit to libya underlines that the real goal of the nato strategy. i don't think anybody seriously bought the line that this intervention was about protecting civilians that was merely the fig leaf the legal figley for that france britain and america used to overthrow gadhafi the west by overthrowing gadhafi wanted to maintain the fiction that the entire world is moving towards a western dominated model of pro western model it wanted to show that the arab spring movement was a movement for liberal western style democracy and of course as soon as a country stated the regime stood in the way of that apparent wave which was the case of libya its regime was brushed aside that has now been achieved and that's why david cameron and nicolas sarkozy have gone there today it's to demonstrate

that fact and it's to publicize to show to the world their victory at least in their own terms. the u.s. has ramped up its plans for missile defense in europe with three major agreements announced on wednesday and thursday following the turkey and romania this week poland has also reaffirmed its willingness to join the controversial project which has been at the center of serious disagreement with russia warsaw and washington have made a joint statement specifying that parts of the nato back shield will be deployed in poland by twenty eighteen arties going to church you can has the latest from washington. the police think missile defense agreement signed between the u.s. and poland in two thousand and eight and it's amending protocol of two thousand and ten has come into force this thursday as we speak it in vision is the deployment of a land based some free system in poland and it's part of america's revamped plan to build a missile shield in europe with elements of it deployed in different countries in eastern europe just earlier this week an agreement was signed between in washington

between romania and the u. way romania too will host a very good land base this on three interceptors on wednesday turkey and the us signed a similar agreement but that one was about deployment of an early warning radar or keep the shield will be unfolding fairly close to russian borders needless to say that's always been an irritant in the relations between washington and moscow the worth of words on missile defense has been going on for quite some time now with washington saying we need powerful missile interceptors against a possible attack from some dangerous they say usually namely ran in north korea and moscow saying why we need interceptors for weapons that those rogue states don't like russia and russia views america's missile defense plans as an attempt to breach that very precious parity principle that was said by the start treaty russians have been quite persistent for years you know saying ok if it's not against us this together in this building missile shield in europe together and the response they get is always

a no you know they say they will cooperate but not on equal terms. is going to they're now to talk more on the u.s. plans for missile defense in europe we're now joined by brazil based journalist as . you know of course thanks for joining us and if you really russia and the u.s. seems to be moving closer together with the resetting of relations under obama admitted what do you think these missile defense agreements this week will do to the relations now. well let's call a halt resets into the relationship because this is this is the key point nobody knows if missile defense works it's a more billionaire almost three d. on air program it's typical of keeping doing this to a military home running and especially special contractors getting very very juicy contracts. antics the official excuse which is to protect from

missiles from iran it's like iran is going to morrow to try for a suicidal at fact only western europe out of the middle east to school please sir each fact this is this same old story that it has been for the past ten years or so it's basically trying to encircle russia and this from now is eastern europe and even turkey and if turkey wants to keep good relationship with russia they are very good at the moment the seriously have to sink there's old now russia as you know has expressed concern about the shield saying that the weapons which could be aimed at its territory threaten its national security are russia's concerns valid. yes absolutely valid because you know some of the best strategy is military strategists in the world are in russia and they know that first of all they don't have the cap ability to attack iran even if they wanted to number two they may be a very hard core regime but they're not suicidal so this excuse against ahmadinejad

or against how many from the part of the u.s. is absolutely ridiculous and they know it's basically the shield is against russia and eventually i guess china as well as if china or russia would have any interest in trying to undermine the european union which are excellent markets for bowls and where they sell most of their products in the case of china you know what do you think is likely to happen next as the u.s. plows on regardless of russia's concerns are we heading for another arms race of sorts. well it depends on the russian reaction if if if i would say a measured reaction would be the best saying first of all because nobody knows if the missile shield works like i like i said before every gas that they run is an absolute disaster and it will keep on doing so i say go for the next few years

until two thousand and eighteen when you're going to have the first three there's still a long wait seven years ahead in a lot will change depending on nato's i would say global robel abilities if nato wants to make more of the rules inside the central asia for instance then i would sink russia could be really really worried about this but for the moment it's basically wait and see and really quick how much do you think this a proposed shield adds to the security of poland romania and turkey turkey excuse me and why do you think they're so willing to join in the ship. well in the case of a full on their own maybe you can understand it's they're still sink it with their cold war mentality in the case of storage is very complicated because turkey is the eastern arm of the date so they simply cannot say no to a need to request or to the u.s. as well so they're just trying very complicated balancing game between what the

u.s. wants what nato once it's more or less the same scene but not always and the relationship between turkey and russia and also the real very very close relationship nowadays between chatter and certainty so that they don't want to joke where that their relationship with iran which is very good at that moment just to stall a radar in turkey and then deploy the chute better will be basically against the rough per se ok thank you for taking some time to be with us pepe escobar wanted for asia times online thanks for joining us thank you. russia's third richest man has sensationally quit as leader of the party he's founded and headed for just three months billionaire mikhail prokhorov stunned right cause party members meeting in moscow saying he was out while criticizing russian politics but he's cut that he not going to reports from moscow. the ambitions plan of the right course party which was to gain some fifteen percent of the vote clashed over some

far more modest political for costs and reality is now the broker of has left the party will hardly make it into dumont but we all have to understand that program has very good p.r. himself in dealing with john lewis and this is what we witnessed today we all remember that he's not afraid to be are we remember how he made it to they had lines international headlines in two thousand and seven when he was arrested by french police in coeur chevelle on suspicion that he arranged prostitutes for russia's border guards there and we remember what it and up like ended up like the french authorities officially apologized before him during an official visit in two thousand and nine and has brought her of himself said today i may make one microstate backwards he said but then i will make a long jump forward just wait and see a very bold step for a person was only making first steps on a political arena but what we're seeing is actually cuomo on clashes and in the

ranks of a political force and sadly this has become somewhat of a but tradition with russia's right wing forces now that. leaves the ranks of the party's no longer its leader it's not clear what part of the electorate the right course will be you ring at all and secondly it's interesting what will happen with all the money which. which it invested into these projects that we are talking about some thirty million dollars. today that he'll be doing all his best to pull the money out of the party now that he's left and he'll be forming a new political force well we'll wait and see what will be the future of these yet another movement of this billionaire turned politician which is covered in a culture of reporting for us there now it is all change at the international space station as three astronauts and their mission and return to earth handing over control to the three colleagues already in orbit with them. the station's former

commander andriy. with his team are already inside the spacecraft and that will deliver them to earth preparing to undock in less than three hours they are to land in kazakhstan at about eight o'clock am moscow time. they've been in space for five months now and have escaped many problems with nutrition even though the progress spacecraft carrying fresh supplies to the station crashed in august you can watch full coverage of the astronauts preparing to leave and live on our website dot com . and you can find more on this and plenty of other stories on our website dot com such as the latest on the horrific plane crash. investigators have ruled out a theory of the russian media a break was in take off before the disaster that killed a russian ice hockey team you can read the full details of the crash and other

speculation about its cause which have been dismissed as well while the inquiry into why the plane. get a chance to glimpse of elizabeth taylor's jewelry and dresses as they go on display at moscow's famous department store on red square. now for some other headlines from around the world. the palestinian envoy to the united nations has said a final decision will be made in the next few days over a bid for full u.n. membership backtracks on an earlier statement by the foreign minister. who said a formal bid for full statehood would be submitted by next friday under u.n.

rules such as must first be approved by the security council which the u.s. says it will veto the palestinians could. seek nonmember observer status at the general assembly where no countries hold a veto and where many countries would be unlikely to support such a big. between a. billion dollars.

in the series of. banks. lost nearly seven billion dollars the news. special interview with. his views on.

investor kircher thank you very much for saying that it's actually seems certain that the united states will use its veto power within the security council to prevent any recognition of a palestinian state what options are the palestinians have before we go there let me a there is another issue for me because of this very moment we are facing a possible very dangerous escalation in tension was announced by the course of albanian or sort of as and pushed and basically to take over northern course of the by force and another very disturbing element of the situation is that the

international presence is. ok for the nato force there and the european a war mission ulick's which are there in order to preserve peace they seem to be cooperating with that very dangerous plan of the course of all being and also what it is so other delegation of serbia here in new york has sent a letter to the president of the security council asking for an emergency meeting of the security council and russia is supporting this request in order to prevent those dramatic and dangerous developments in the course of the but i anticipate that we're going to have some other interesting debates in the security council first of all whether to convene that meeting or not and to me this will be a reality check on. about whether indeed of the security council we in the united nations are interested in preventing disputes in peaceful mediation it's

interesting you bring up close about because kosovo unilaterally declared its independence and with the support of the united states and many european countries this was done outside the scope of the security council and it was done with the backing of the us yet when it comes to the palestinians. the u.s. . has already been screaming they tell you tell the position of the united states is very often not entirely consistent to put it mildly because they don't apply like some other. western european countries they did blood double standards from time to bam and we had the vote several months ago on a resolution of the security council the israeli settlements of the resolution was essentially composed of quotes without using marks of course from statements by president obama and secretary of state clinton and the united states went ahead and vetoed that resolution in the face of one hundred twenty sponsors of that

resolution so this is one of the problems i think in trying to put in train negotiations between the israelis and the palestinians if if the israelis get this kind of unqualified support from a country which is trying to play the main mediating role in the palestinian israeli situation then it does not really help to move matters talks must start between the israelis and the palestinians i know that there are contacts. there are certain requirements which the palestinians want to see for those talks to start and i hope of the israelis will see it. as something being to their advantage because in my view at least sort of pressures of various sorts are going to grow in israel especially that we know we cannot be assured that we will have a situation in the arab world is going to go i mean we are all full as i am sure

was the hope of those who were on the front lines of the arab spring that things will evolve towards democracy and cetera et cetera but this kind of a positive scenario is not a sure at all thirteen countries and the united states from what's been reported are trying. to push forward a resolution calling for more sanctions against syria and this is something that. the president of russia dmitry medvedev said he's not in support of because additional pressure he believes is not necessarily needed nor would it help. can you explain russia's position on on syria that is a very dangerous situation it is a very dramatic and tragic situation i think the russian position is reflected very well not something which was a consensus position of the security council the first floor of the statement does come down. by the syrian a sort of is you know excessive use of force but secondly it calls on everybody to

stop violence including the opposition and also it calls for dialogue in order to resolve the differences and visions of what should happen. in syria and very importantly it calls for on the government of syria to implement the reforms there for them and so this is exactly all line but more importantly our concern is that any sanctions resolution. on syria in the security council might be seen by destructive elements of syrian opposition as sort of encouragement looking at libya something similar to what happened in libya may be happening in syria and that could have extremely destructive consequences our western colleagues are swearing to us that this is not their intention to use military force well incidentally we have to remind them that with world statements and assurances from them of

various sorts when we're working on that resolution in libya which them will very quickly forgotten in the heat of the bout that you needed in order to get out of the cycle of violence. we just don't see this scenario of regime change which somehow entertaining. as something which can be beneficial or which can improve in any way the humanitarian or economic or social situation in syria there have been reports that foreigners in particular colombian ukrainian nationalists have been executed in libya by armed forces. do you think that it's time for u.n. peacekeepers to intervene in libya let me also tell you that we are keeping very close track of those reports and at every opportunity what is that in our discussions in the security council which we have very well and making sure that every measure is taken out of the. sort of does understand the responsibility but

of course nothing can get old out because the situation as you pointed out correctly is quite dangerous it's chaotic when all that sort of pulled and pulled pretty view should have happened including some killings of black people simply because they were suspected of having been cut off from their sin there is this is something which. caused our unhappiness when we're raising our complaints on what is about the. absence a lack of proper implementation of resolution one thousand seventy three if you want to protect civilians the last thing you do is stop a civil war and this is what happened let's face it.
