another show of might outside parliament where lawmakers will later take a final vote on more punitive cuts to services that report our correspondents and they will bring you live updates all afternoon. also live pictures now coming through from so colonel gadhafi is holed reportedly fall into the new libyan leadership fight these are the latest chops to see celebrator shorts into the air by then this is what's happening right now there are a city that of course had been besieged for weeks it all happened in the final push within about ninety minutes this thursday morning we hear thousands of civilians that of course have been trapped in the crossfire with the new regime regarding it is the symbolic last step to victory of the gadhafi watching that very closely we'll bring you up to date throughout the afternoon of course again. up next though we discussed russia's hopes of joining the world trade organization that's a story it's been going on for a long time with a man who's at the very heart of the country's negotiations.

let's go thank you very much for being with us today. so the latest round of talks between russia and georgia have failed now georgia wants international monitoring of cargo and goods that leave and enter the pretty fine cord trade corridor of south such an appositive so they doubled your membership is so important for russia why can it lead international montoyo strewing. it is very important for us however to the double chair which is a traitor musician for us the requests we receive from georgia is not double check it's something else. we have proposed for many occasions to georgian creaks to negotiate trade issues in the same way as we did with eighty

eight there were two members but unfortunately that was not in georgia the requests of which we received. rules so the next ambassador to russia yes investor mr netball set that united states stop that switzerland has an idiot in the talks between russia and georgia came up with a pretty balanced solution why was it rejected it's not clear question to me here seems it's a question to believe because we have not rejected this proposal of rejected. georgia are we prepared to a concerted basis but we're not there we hope is a problem with you know next meeting we will we will come more closely whether it's possible for austria grievance of business or not but we have not rejected can russia actually enter w t o without unanimous approval. it's an interesting question double servos very clearly say that if there isn't

a consensus in respect of accession in this case there is a procedure food. who can practice it was used the once in the history of the church or was it will be used in case of pressure or not it's a decision of the members should be taken whether there's been so many allegations for the longest time when russia will ascend w.t.r. lately premier putin said that he's very hopeful that will happen towards stand of the ear i want to hear from you what is your realistic us to rep is we've been hearing forever next loans and of the or more ballast estimate say three to five years what's your estimate is that three to five i think it's too much. where we are in the negotiations we have concluded almost everything we are supposed to shake so we have

a very few technical questions which are still standing. that we need even not a few months but a few weeks or even days in order to be able to resolve all of them timetable we should have currently in our working party working party negotiating modi session is very tired we have two completely full of discussions. twenty seventh of october and formal meetings would take place. mid november so we have a schedule and we would like to implement it as soon as we do it we will be close it. is anytime before and also couldn't set that the only obstacle in the way of russia becoming a member of w.t.f. are the political issues do you or do you agree. that actually this whole process

is hostage to politics rather than anything else i suppose this argument by fact we have completed our negotiations for market access in two thousand and six with all countries involved and after that. we. are many different things most was not connected. with trait politics. it was a mixture sometimes it was a mixture of politics of course succession of such a big country russia it's always a balance between trait and politics which are moderates are normally normally isolate itself from politics you know it was not always possible but how does that make you feel when you're an economist you're a negotiator over economy how does that make you feel that you also have to deal with politics in this whole process never do politics trade negotiator like

my colleagues we negotiated trade issues but political influence this process so we again we have never received directives to me he said politics and there were two exceptions but sometimes this session stopped. just because of political developments which. we never connected with straight also want to quote the me who is the head of the w t o when i was speaking about they're going to zation he said that there is definitely a paralysis in a negotiating function of w t o what exactly is broken and is that an additional challenge for russia. therefore gentlemen what happened in the current doc around to negotiations. we have not felt any particular problems except to be. interest so many members to get more concessions which is normal to withdraw from

the us as much as possible it was normal that we resisted by all means that links the process but i don't think it was a real. our position was substantially different from a question of trying to put example china has faced more of the same problem so that way and then there is also a whole other bond of questions that arise. what will happen after russia becomes the member of w. here for example the critics say that russia secession to this organization will kill its chances to bill a modern industry how do you sponsor that we do not think this may happen and it is a very critics believe it made for simply reason. aim is to complete with an efficient account it's impossible to do. economy being connected to be other parts of the world and result market access to

markets so we for many years. for made it doesn't a few years apart afford to come to me but we played different rules because we were not members of the so we think that in order to be successful movies meditation of the economy we have to be into it bring to us much more benefits i'll give you a process example for example last year russia had to make available two and a five point eight billion dollars of extra cash for agricultural producers because of the drought well extreme measures like these be able once winter w.t. or for example why not just to help negotiate a reasonable amount of subsidies rights to. pay to from what we want during next in the next five years

secondly doublecheck is not about provision of subsidies you may continue to provide subsidies to farmers but subject to certain rules and. absolutely sure. if you do it in a clear way you may ignore it in a conflict with you future a biggish and that at least experience of many other countries united states or many others which have commitments in the woods which continue to subsidize the farmers but in a way which is not conflicting with obligations are there in the industries that will suffer or florists more than others ones will become the member of the youth here well of course those which are connected with experts ration of goods and services will get more than those which are. there are people working for domestic market because we of course expect of competition will grow but it will grow steadily so we have links

a transition period. for opening of markets and. this traditional period so we will continue to. have the right to implement. i would not say hi to tell us which would be enough to protect competitive industries from injury. caused by employers and also how critical is the jacksons on england to the u.s. russia relationship right now because the u.s. in fact doesn't they would imply the amendment to russia more so who benefits from its terminations for the person never implemented. of course belief as you know for twenty years. at some point if so this. should be withdrawn because it's unfair to continue to have it for russia but it has no real trade to pick a chanst for us. of course supports.

approach it from that amendment. issue for us congress to the so i can general question to do you think that maybe financial problems in the united states and european union well actually result in rising protectionism all around the globe nobody knows what will happen so at least there are different scenarios. be sure and maybe maybe maybe not what. we should expect. this is the creation should not be connected with the growth of protectionism because over two beauties. in washington or in brussels i think two trading partners are very much committed to retreat and say i understand the risks which say rates of protection it. may cost to old economy that finally russia give us the world opens to the world an enormous market you always wonder is the world

aware of that or and is it ready to get digest the russian market really well we are not advertising this market but really we have. negotiated market access to russian market for many years and really seeing huge interest. trade us and to invest to see this market. being based. more open and more transparent and we have the same interest in. history would like to. expose a good. situation to rebut some of the very much for this interview thank you.

it's the life. history. of. people who. are sailing through the centuries.

the troops. dismantling the barricades set up by locals after the failed to do it themselves. greece is into the second biggest general strike in years and which is already seen violence in clashes with riot police protesters are promising another show of might outside parliament where lawmakers will take the final vote on more punitive cuts to. their. hometown to totally fold to new leadership. and fight says these are live pictures you're seeing coming through but only through fire and the air seemed to quiet down a little bit but that's what's happening in sirte right now a city to the course had been perceived for weeks the final could push came in

about ninety minutes this morning thousands of civilians of course trapped in the crossfire with the new regime regarding it is the symbolic last step to victory over gadhafi. there are headlines on to say now with sports news and the latest on the tennis going on at the moment it's a lovely day there first plenty more to. hello there thanks for watching the sport and these are the headlines. for you roos mischances is a neutral to two we are in the champions league. while a lot of my colleagues look forward to their hundredth european fixture with the europa league showdown against i. phone to see louis is the cardinals win the game of baseball's world series against the texas rangers. that will start with

the tennis because the fourth day of the crimean cup has just got underway with plays fighting for the last quarter final spots and university in our has won her all russian battle with a catheter. in straight sets so it isn't enough room to the quarter finals. but it's also closing in on a place in the last day she set up against suck up all over and these five in the second set they're in action later as the three seed money in bartoli ranking points to reach the season ending championships her opponent. and fellow russians start on the course no service will compete for a place in the last date against spent on a. quick look at the men's. they will start their games a little later on with sixteen russian dimitris soon although again. faces top seed to reach there and jeremy chardy and alexander. are in action too while luxembourg

plays for the call schreiber. to the football. he says he was disappointed not to have claimed all three points against shakhtar are in the champions league this side drawing two two in ukraine last night it wasn't a gang any zero mind should have called missed a penalty after just ten minutes but scored an equaliser after shakhtar had taken the lead through with ian and off the. louise had put the home side in front again physically and scored twenty second in the second half for a share of the points to see how it finished second in the group at the halfway stage behind up how well he drew away porto one one chelsea meanwhile stuck five past belgian side racing gang the biggest winner of the night fernando torres getting to the goals at stamford bridge that is four goals for him in four games chelsea now lead group by a point by is a good. one when i was valencia under. the telling myself.

and i'm very very happy with the performance. not only the way play but the commitment of the team towards a game that everybody expects you to win and you know that when. surprise is. just around the corner and we were able to keep the concentration and focus. to put a good performance and good results elsewhere defending champions barcelona enjoyed it so we'll win over victoria toensing a spanish side stay seconding group behind ac milan. at the san siro faster enjoyed seventy eight percent of possession in their match in fear scoring the goals for them but perhaps the biggest surprise was that messi didn't find the net considering has scored sixteen times this season already the coach pep guardiola thought that was a positive. image and actually made a real exhibition tonight we played some tremendous food book stephen uses when messi doesn't score think over the allowed to keep his achievement we have got to

learn to use this round she doesn't score which is why i wish to continue for many years. and also find themselves at the top of group one there when i'm asked say ramsay with the winner in the second minute of stoppage time. after their three one win over. pretty tight there at the top but going to the boss are some venga believes his side deserved to be where they are after last night's performance. tickets are free to call. i don't think it was dangerous in the second offertory and. in turn this very different world. but you can see the last fifteen minutes we created some chances and. of course to be rewarded for because we keep going. on to the europa league now look i might say for make a bit of history this evening they take on greek side i ache athens and on what will be the hundredth european fixture for the russians with the build up the down

yet. look i'm mighty far on the little milestone there is this europa league clash at home to iraq will begin number one hundred in european competitions for the muscovite side although the railway man's head coach just a qusayr all claims this should not affect his players' motivation to think that things will go mark it's a good number for the club no doubt but it doesn't really matter much in terms of motivation we treat every game as a crucial one because all the place take it as an owner to defend the colors of the club will dissolve. however not all of them will be able to do so at the true cost of a stadium with at least four key members of the squad said to sit on the sidelines and listen to those you not we've got a number of injured players and to be honest that is a problem matilda star us of and a story of our sidelined and to be ski is just recovery and also i'm not sure if

they said it will be able to help us in the front line but will try to get away with those who are fit. the second placed hosts have won one of their two group l. games so for having suffered their first defeat under the portuguese skill which against under left three weeks ago and adding three points at home against the greek side who are boredom and have failed to clean a point so far is definitely a must for loko i have. lost two games in use in this competition of course. and need to. grow the game of course don't have easy games. i think the next game is out of game but it is not for us like when people are looking to celebrate their european jubilee in style although it's a safe bet i have different plans for thursday night robert berlin there on r.t.e.

region. bottoming group pal and have a few select. problems of their own they lost nearly strike a good johnson to a broken leg over the weekend though they still held city royals at n.p.r. cost to a one one draw to stay joint top of the domestic league however they are still without a point in the europa league listen to great leaders and elect the place from austria and their coach outlined what needs to be done. so. there are several key points we should stick to if we are to locomotive these are still fluid focus for the whole of the marriage especially when it comes to defending and then be brave and aggressive of a lot of resistance and eventually to three point. zero meanwhile russia strike a roman pavlyuchenko will make a rest stop at tottenham when the north london club hosts join group elite is the rubin kazan on thursday public anger has spent just seventeen minutes on the pitch in the english premier league this season but he's been

a regular starter in the europa league games and netted the equalizer in last month's three one win at home to shamrock rovers tottenham are behind rubin only on goal difference so the winner would take the outright lead in this group and spurs boss redknapp is wary of the russian side joe dream what you can read all the videos on a mini review. is up to speed room but. the good side will organize a good character check into a very good team. well it wasn't a good night in europe for a russian basketball team. last year really go to. c.n.n. seventy nine points to seventy one phoenix had dominated most of the game i am with thirty five twenty eight to henry to mccance jump shot here i keep pace the side with thirty points in the night and the russians and americans forty four forty three half time lead but wanted to she went ahead soon after the restart and when marco. why should downtime the italians be sixty four fifty five and front

and went on to win seventy nine seventy one. and the other gaming group day last night turkish side got a task right got the better of a second row come a lingering pay their wages for tyler and tara and esdras. to swimming an american star michael phelps has once again just taken one gold out of three races the latest world cup stage here in moscow while russian world record holder gagne cut to teach again did perform to his best winning the hundred meter butterfly counseling to top off as they tax. despite moving to before where nafta below parties planned to use the phone in time olympic champion michael phelps produced almost an identical santa result on day two of the world cup in the russian capital in the two hundred metres freestyle the twenty six year old american was overtaken in the last fifty by john the world record holder paul be there month and had to settle for silver. and phelps competing in moscow for the first time frame to make

it to the boardroom in the one hundred metres butterfly where world record holder you gain you can out the skin ripped first place to the delight of the home crowd. you mean you have all of the it was very important for me to win today so i can see and want to battle and know my aim is to win a war and by that i mean the london olympics. however just as he did on the opening day selves showed his competitive desire as he bounced back to claim gold in the two hundred metres backstroke after being fourth for the first one hundred fifty metres then american found a burst of power and managed to surge to victory it's all working on some of the small things to really get to the end of the year being able to tie together some of the killer starts turns under waters have i can do that as many times i can leave it off in a deliberate chiles and form a session right here at. the london olympics had just nine months away and berber

ations are well underway for the swimming event however there are still four stages to go before the end of the world cup giving press bonbons and swimmers alike they were too mature to gauge who will be queen xing the gold medals at the twenty twelve games as they bowed out of r.t. . and funny so those cardinals have begun the texas rangers in the game with baseball's world series three to the score bush stadium in st louis the hunting with sailor lance burton had a page down the line and then to write failed and to run this came around to score . the rangers were level with one swing of the fact that the man on first might naturally spanked a homerun to make it at the top of the fifth. but at the bottom of the six innings allan craig's r.b.i. single won the contest going to the festive seven series again on thursday not.
