a very warm welcome to this is r.t. live from moscow to libya first of all a volatile situation shows no sign of abating a month after colonel gadhafi was ousted the country's interim leaders are struggling to form a cohesive cabinet will their forces are still locked in battle with daffy's remaining supporters but a fire loyalists are making a last stand in three cities. have been under heavy assault a week with reports gadhafi of his sons could be hiding in that meanwhile the rest of libya is reeling from months of civil war which according to some estimates has left tens of thousands dead ongoing nato airstrikes have also reportedly killed a number of civilians by mistake but some western leaders and our faces charges at home over their military intervention now you may find some of the images daniel bushell record disturbing. for injects foreign minister roland jamal says he's

ready to defend gadhafi in the international criminal court which is issued a warrant for his arrest but later will have to follow in the colonel's first libya's deposed leader isn't hiding for good reason. if they find him they'll kill him like bill maher don't some states are now claiming the right to kill the against all international law. images like these are moving french lawyers to turn against the government because he faces lawsuits over the birth of ordinary people in libya lawyers here in france accuse the prisons of committing crimes against humanity this lawyer calls the libyan war renew vietnam where the u.s. sprayed tens of millions of liters of toxins on crops in the sixty's and seventy's causing brain disorders miscarriages and birth defects to this day. so they're using missiles with depleted uranium which causes cancer in tripoli i saw

people crippled by nato attacks office workers who have nothing to do with the fighting that's why we're seeing president sarkozy for crimes against humanity nato first denied bombing this residence where thirteen civilians including four children died then called the place a military command center this journalist went to see what it really housed books videos spiderman had toys and cultural and everything is nothing nothing military in another attack how does wife a child and grandchildren were reportedly killed in their home nato's accused of deliberately waging a campaign of terror. their bombings targeted libya's electricity water and food supply after five months of deadly nato bombs and thousands of deaths people will stop supporting the regime because they simply cannot take it anymore. western leaders a poised for their first big legal challenge over libya if they stop the cases

coming to court all together as chickadee it will prove once and for all that western justice really use run by politicians not the rule of law the new bush or r.t. paris. across in syria at least four people reportedly killed in crackdown on anti-government protests on sunday the ongoing violence in the. has left more than two thousand five hundred dead in the past few months mosque a stepping up its efforts to mediate a peaceful solution to the cold plate a team of russian or make is currently on a fact finding mission in syria has a mask this appears to be committed to democratic reform the comments are all things taken a turn at draft resolution at the u.n. was aimed at the warring sides towards dialogue the approach rivals the u.s. back draft which targets damascus and urges president assad to step down. as michel chossudovsky says the russian delegation will have its hands full when syria. any

kind of military intervention in syria immediately leads to a scenario of escalation this is something which hopefully will be addressed by the russian delegation it's discussions with the syrian authorities first of all we must clarify what is the opposition there's an opposition within the syrian civil society which operates within the confines of the law which has also dialogue with the going about and then there's an insurgency which is so funded and supported by outside forces. this is largely integrated quite useless it's a joke rather school but some like this as well as muslim brotherhood. and consequently this insurgency is there to destabilize to create a pretext for responsibility to protect nato intervention in syria.

well there's still much to add to this hour including on this question a director david petraeus is view on the decade long war with al qaeda. the challenge turns into a brawl when see russians like humans fail to find common ground on the subject the global financial crisis. key international financial institutions have confirmed palestine is now economically strong enough to stand alone as an independent state that this president prepares to bid for full u.n. membership at the general assembly later this week the moves been strongly opposed by israel and the u.s. claiming it would on the mind chances of a return to peace talks. if global politics were sport. the united nations would be the grand arena. and september would be opening season nearly two hundred of the world's most powerful and not so powerful players descend

on new york city gathering in one room for a week's worth of speeches and a chance to grandstand on the international stage which nearly ten thousand delegates in two thousand journalists are in town for the general assembly debate but in reality five countries are the ones who really matters russia china france the us and britain the permanent security council members with veto power the real power in the united nations resides in the security council and it requires a consensus among the five permanent members and as long as there want one or one or more of the permanent members won't go along with something the un's ability to act is limited no resolutions can succeed if opposed by any of the big five case in point the current palestinian campaign for u.n. membership and statehood an initiative the u.s. publicly supported last year when we come back here next year we can have an agreement that will lead to a new member of the united. independent sovereign state of palestine living in

peace with israel but this year it's the opposite with washington saying it will veto the palestinian un membership bid warning of additional collateral damage one of the things that i that i hope the palestinian leadership is considered considering is the day after what will happen when after whatever. show we have in the united nations is done. what will change in the real world for the palestinian people. the answer is nothing sadly ironically the majority of the general assembly supports palestinian un membership the assembly alone with two thirds majority can award nonmember observer status to the palestinians like the vatican enjoys and doesn't need security council approval to do so so no one can veto this decision some believe however the un is the wrong forum for resolving major international disputes it's

a very dysfunctional situation and actually the un really isn't the one isn't really the venue even for this the un only gets the sort of hype aspects of these fights and and deals with them pretty badly to the israeli palestinian problem at the u.n. is mostly theater and this is just one one particularly for a freakish example of it this global gathering attracts the security crowds and media madness of a sports championship but when it comes to practical outcomes scoring more than a symbolic victory could be unlikely even if there is a permanent member or two or three who believe that. palestine should not be a member of the u.n. . they want it on record but the vast majority of the people the world do believe that it's time yet you were you were in g a gathering all week long. yet many wonder if this super bowl of diplomatic strategy leads to anything more would be a bad. itself bring up what nile r.t.

me your. experts argue the thrust of u.s. policy in the middle east region tools palestine derives almost entirely from the domestic politics and is especially influenced by the powerful israeli lobby in washington palestinian politician who. uses the u.s. policy. it is ironic this that would stand to look at the arab spring as a way of vindication of democracy and freedom and human rights and human dignity and yet when it comes to the palestinians who are decontextualized. this is very selective precisely because i think out occupy it is. a domestic issue in the us and has enormous influence on their careers. the fates of many politicians so it is not treated like any other country is a has constantly been examined also because of the part of the holocaust on that

history and western guilt over what to do so in a sense this has shaped a certain bubble in which. demanded sense of exceptionalism and then title immunity and of course it has acted with impunity so the palestinians were deprived of the protection of the law was given this exceptional treatment but tickler because it has a powerful lobby also and the u.s. carriers are broken on the basis of that i. watched the full interview with palestinian politician hunter in our next hour as a program. here this week the e.u. will the. proposals to break a deadlock in northern cost of a appreciate if we simply cease to disputed border crossings the response outrage among local serbs on friday night. forces helicopter you and calls from customs

officials to the previously controlled funked here in response. to the crossings top negotiator called for calm all sides to seek a diplomatic solution. playing. as stand of kosovo thirty's with e.u. and nato forces on one side ethnic serbian protesters on the other before us this is our land our territory it's refusing to accept the cost thing government's attempt to take control of two border crossings here in the north the protesters are standing firm at the barricades they erected is the game of nerves and neither side willing to back down i don't think anyone in the world can come to these people here in the north and tell them give up. go home and accept that you are leaving independent course or they will not do it for the time being the protesters seem calm you don't have to look hard to see signs of the underlying tensions here

all along the roads here in the north you come across these makeshift roadblocks serbian people using gravel rocks bits of wood whatever they can get their hands on really to disrupt the flow of traffic in this area protesters of that blow to remain in place until it dialogue begins about who man the border posts and what will happen with the revenue collected from the customs tax. not going to move until the solutions reached for both sides of the situation right now is unacceptable back in july violence erupted when the authorities tried to take control of the border posts after closer than prime minister that she wanted to trade on serbia the conflict resulted in the death of the policeman and now neither side want to take action for fear it could once again ignite tension concerning a. place for a. culture that. concerns of the. population living in the northern also

both this i would say that removing those barricades from from the streets and from the main highways it's not for the small with it's not a priority of. security organisations in course for the funding criticisms that they breached the neutral position with regards to cost if you look just at that the monitoring at the customs gate will bring much needed law and order to the north pristina says it acted within terms of an agreement a claim that belgrade strongly. this is a serious incident and the serious step back in the long road to formalisation off our relationship with christine the second thing is that once you put the custom officers then you will put a flag then you will put the court of arms then you will put so-called kosovo laws and then people who live here will be circled by something that looks like. they simply cannot accept there's now talk among serbians of building new raids by past

checkpoints in the course of an authorities refused to leave so the time being the border crossing remains bloke's and there are many obstacles that will need to be overcome on the roads to finding a resolution so. we have more news if it is in constant updates on our website you r.t. dot com here's a little of was waiting to you online right now i don't mind tree standing where the forest once grew has become a symbol of hope in japan after the country was ravaged by now disasters we do all about it on aussie dot com. and amateur video of an air display that tend to tragedy in the u.s. when a vintage plane crash into the crowd in the thirty's can be found on to tell. if . it's.

the official allocation. talk. a little. bit. on the. former u.s. . david petraeus is getting accustomed to his new role as director of the cia.

intelligence chief and he's defending the strategy of his organization instead of trying to reform it. during the joint session of the senate of the house intelligence committee did it get to the tenth anniversary of nine eleven attack on the united states but general david petraeus the newly minted cia director and general jim clapper the director of national intelligence presented their views general petraeus from the outset emphasize that he was presenting the agency view on the terrorist threat but who would look like innocuous slip of tone it actually turned into a very successful attempt to protect the agency view regarding the cia role these. guys and its affiliates activities all around the world there was a high expectation of the general betray us would challenge conventional visit

calcified theories and minds at plainly instead as the speaker of the agency he promulgated yet again ten years old views of the agency and the threats and challenges the intelligence community is facing in the united states. to them and when they're ready having been fired answered government capital for non leaving at least twenty six dead tens of thousands of us that gathered at the state t.v. building government offices but chimps along with rooftops like. the defense ministry said the trouble began with things from pep talk bombs that cost is to blame the leading is them as opposition possibly opening fire it's the deadliest crackdown by the reason i'm recent wants. a cop exploded near the house of

a week amid safety concerns following the recent failure of a colleague a resupply ship that fell back to earth in late august. in moscow style city space center. the two russian cosmonauts the returned back to earth on friday have been talking about their experiences while on board the i.s.a.'s but they were up there for nearly six months so as you can imagine with only four days to get used to life back on earth it has taken some getting used to. i was afraid my first moves on earth would be clumsy and difficult but it turned out to be not that bird controlling my body was challenging i wanted to turn around but i could only walk straight despite my intentions it's much more stressful to land on earth than to leave orbit it was a very eventful six months that they were on board the international space station this three g. incidents that occurred while they were up there they were they were course there for the progress module that crashed that was heading up to supply the i s s with

water with oxygen and they talked about how that affected them on board we spoke a great length about it from here on the earth but they were saying is terms of food water and supplies too much however it did affect them in terms of their experiments that they were doing that was equipment was being carried on the progress module it was intended to help them conduct those experiments that are going on up in space to make our lives here on earth all that better fortunately the loss of those that equipment indeed those experiments now they were also up there for the final docking all the nasa space shuttle and the spaceship earth lantis docked on the eighth of july and left on the eighth of joy i beg your pardon was the last time for it now the cosmonauts are saying that this was a very sad experience it was quite similar in their eyes to when the mir space station finally fell out of commission a real end to a chapter in space exploration history now the main celebration of their time when the on board the international space station was of course your reason night the

twelfth of april fifty years since you could go and set off to become the first man in space that was of course hugely celebrated on board the space station the internet. space station containing people from japan people from america of course russians as well during that celebration so they were it was a real international affairs this is what the cosmonauts were saying. it's especially nice to know that countries other than russia respect to this holiday we received lots of warm wishes and greetings like true russians we took pride that yuri gagarin was our countryman our ship was called to go and so the flight was filled with a holiday spirit so while alexander summer could. get used to life but here. they recognize the the celebration it was your garbage first flight fifty years ago from star city are to. now well to deal with the financial crisis of course many of

us kids around the world but russian billionaires have taken the debates to whole new level teach our kids came to blows at a recording of a talk show for one of their main it's how this is a property developers that gave a long and media mogul i was on the level of the nerve to british newspapers but the businessmen have been arguing throughout the program but the situation really got out of control after eleven as it was wanted to punch him in the face words that clearly planted an idea and eleven as mine said here's what happened next. i want to. ask not what people expected to see i do think ok on the way crosstalk examines whether recognising an independent palestine will make any material difference of key countries will refuse to accept it now they bring all their business in that dmitri.

banks are less of a warm welcome to business r.t. the barely dry on the deal that puts the seal in the south stream gas pipeline and already russian companies are rubbing their hands with glee expecting an avalanche of construction contracts now that russian pipe producer t.m. kay says it's going to be a boom time for the company. approach here is to look at the stage of technical design so it's difficult to give any details but of course we are engaged in the project under getting prepared for it so it's removed providers with the readers for the next two to three years. to the signing of the south stream pipeline deal spells bad news for ukraine when completed russian gas supplies to europe will bypass ukraine and reduce its ability to leverage discounts and with the possibility of no gas to transfer to europe says it might have to close parts of its network ukrainian energy minister unit boyko says the fair price that ukraine is paying for russian gas should be around two hundred dollars per thousand cubic

meters internally ukraine is paying almost double that. it's moved to the markets now a while is close to a one week low on speculation that fuel demand will fall to amid signs of weak economic growth in europe and the us investors digesting a four percent drop in fuel used in the world's largest consumer trade down seventy four cents brant just under one hundred twelve dollars per barrel so crude is coming back up european stocks tumbling with financials seeing the biggest drop by sprawling five and a half percent in the sector lost ground after e.u. talks of us collating debt crisis in greece ended with little progress on saturday . to russia now stocks in russia are indeed also fall in blue chips dipping around one percent at the opening of monday's trading session of moscow russian cars the u.s. also losing ground slipping more than one percent versus the since the first

minutes of trading reaching the lowest level since the beginning of the year and therefore the difference between the drops on the r.c.s. and the mindsets if you look at the main movers energy majors suffering was now down half a percent as russia's log. just world company. on the contrary year compared to use burbank is actually up one point three percent as the company begins consolidating the assets of bank of moscow and eon russia is also in the red that's after the company's first half net profit rose fifty eight percent to two hundred thirty million dollars. now as the uncertainty persists in the global economy russian investors preferred to buy into the companies which rely mostly on the domestic market for their performance we like the names of the companies dad derive much of their earnings domestically because we are seeing strong domestic demand it we're

not seeing any slowdown in that even against the backdrop of this volatility the sectors that are mostly exposed to domestic demand and investors can play our financials our consumers develop transport just give a few names is burbank differently particularly burbank said last week it is going to increase the dividend payout ratio from twelve percent to fifteen percent x. five this is the largest russian retailer along with my need expired we think is a unjustly priced at a big discount to mark need we think a strong growth opportunities in the business of the company and also in the in the start so we're like x. five losses insurance market is seeing its biggest deal since the crisis number three in the market right there was buying a twenty five percent blocking stake in its five zero vs k. the deal is expected to be worth around two hundred fifty million dollars the companies to create a joint group were named rest vs k. and the save the new company will be the country's second largest insurer. so for
