from a new center here in central moscow international news and comment live on r.t. lebanon is engulfed in protests triggered by the death of a top security official in friday's car bombing in the capital some rallies have turned violent with two people reportedly injured after the army opened fire in one of the roads blocked with burning time the opposition has called for an indefinite strike and for the government to be dissolved. as one of the countries in the region arena how exactly did the terror attack lead to such significant unrest. well it was you can say that all of this was just on the vaga burner was waiting for a fuse to go off. in lebanon on the fire and that exactly what happened with that explosion now a little bit about the protests that are going on in lebanon right now and that there is actually no sign of them subsiding in fact it looks like they're just starting to think that. we have

a force that we have protests. all over the country essentially last night and they continue with this afternoon there was a huge gathering. but that's of course not the only place where people are protesting they're protesting in that other towns as well they're blocking roads they're burning. tire's there plus there are calls of some of the activists not to do that in fact march towards the woods and show their support for the cause they are in the lebanese capital as you have said there have there have been several incidents where. army has reportedly fired again i have to make no if they were firing at the person searched for say at least as according to the reports they were trying to encourage you to reach you on block the roads and accidently wounded two people in the process there is however talk of and change of fire in the town of tripoli but that's not of course have been very good violence back to the back to the reason for these. for the rest of them all the people who were killed

last week were killed on friday atop a police official who is known for his severe and syrian stance of course he thousands of supporters are now out on the streets saying that he was syria that was behind the blast something which the city has seen in this for years and of course a lot of people are nervous a lot of a lot of them are frightened by that there are lots of call going now not just because they're not just expressing their anger at the fact that because here i talk is that a complaint against we have to remember that nobody has so far taken responsibility for the blast now people are saying basically that they want the government to step down the entire government and there are actually there is a sit in being organized as we speak. in front of the parliament people are saying they're going to stay there until the government resigns however as this is where it should be mentioned that the prime minister has. filed for the first nation i

position for his admission to the president but the president refused. that because think that the president has. to go after being told that this make political. back in the country we're all bringing more instability to lebanon so we have an act of protest we have the people who are who are hard line supporters off and me. who are saying that syria is to blame they are also calling for the un security forces peacekeeping forces i'm sorry to come in and line up on the border between syria and lebanon and a lot of people at this point already starting to express their worry that the conflict in syria inadvertently or. clear at the moment is being spilled into the neighboring country into levanon. thanks very much indeed for that update well some lebanese politicians blame syria for the deadly blast saying the

security official killed was a hardline opponent of president assad but political analysts show me nobody i spoke to a little earlier here naughty she's in beirut and she says that such quick allegations have no grounds. but it's not very feasible and it wasn't very feasible that. the president assad was responsible for the assassination of rafik hariri in two thousand and five either but in lebanon that's not how it plays out you know a normal situation people would wait for an investigation to get at least a little bit of evidence on the way before making these allegations in lebanon political parties jump on the bandwagon and start to use these things to their advantage even if it's one of their own figures who has gone down there doesn't seem to be any interest in in seeking truth it's all about political advantage and it's unfortunate because it's whipping out exactly these kind of reactions armed reactions on the street that is not a positive sign for lebanon. well for more expert opinion on the possible

connection between the lebanon blast and the conflict raging in syria ahead for dot com where there's more video coverage and your voice on who you think is to blame in our online discussion. the libyan army and loyalist militias are preparing for the final assault on the city of bani one hundred where supporters of the old regime have been besieged for more than two weeks the deadly battle comes a year after the capture and death of longtime leader moammar gadhafi and the nato military campaign just to warn you some of the images we're about to show are graphic over a dozen people including children have been killed and many more injured in attacks during the residents say they are short of medicine food and water the turmoil of bani walid is seen as just one sign of the continuing disarray that has reigned in libya since the western backed revolt can report. a year after the killing of warmer khadafi not only has the new government of libya made it illegal to criticize the february revolution of last year but

a group of malicious affiliated with the country's defense ministry has the shelling parts of the country which were considered khadafi strongholds that bombing it from their homes and rockets because many would need was one of the towns which stood against the intervention of the outside world in body while the local media report that the strikes have killed around a dozen people including children but apparently the people of bani walid are not the only ones persecuted by various militia groups in libya we saw the total wiping out of the thirty thousand strong town to want to go many are black libyans which the misrata brigades which are also laying siege to bani walid call themselves the brigades for the purging or black scheme it's such as that wonderful humanitarian and freedom loving. and discourse that they wiped out the town they've been chasing the people toward the civil war has left libya shredded in pieces with radical islamists taking advantage of the chaos basically what's happening is that in

different cities here we pointed out the main ones tripoli is in town misrata each of them has their own army of their loosely united as the so-called libyan national shield at the same time they're not really under the control of the new defense ministry they're basically on their own according to various reports most of them are even suspicious of the new government in tripoli on top of that division you also have one hundred forty tribes in the country one hundred forty tribes many of them have long running grievances against each other and they're located very close to each other for example the town of bani walid that we mentioned in the report is not even two hours away from misrata so amid all the food and lawlessness people in those places no anything can happen to them last year coalition forces armed libyans to the t.c. . in order to oust moammar gadhafi today the country is flooded with weapons of all kinds and this they made twenty million weapons are still freely circulating in

libya that's in a country of six million people it's roughly three guns per person today there are multiple assassinations around benghazi different parts of libya where people are settling scores of all sorts of stripes it's chaotic forces in libya well those are the weapons that the most they have the chance is not to be just is either up to the tribal or the. politics despite the ongoing atrocities and chaos up until this september washington had the revolution in libya check because the foreign policy victory for president obama after all the u.s. provided most of the foreign power which led to the capture and the killing of the legal leaders. yes we came we saw died. but only after the tragic attack on the u.s. consulate in benghazi and the murder of the american ambassador did leave you come back into the spotlight it raises the question for the administration why didn't

you see this coming if there was intelligence about the growing presence of al qaeda in eastern libya we have an election coming up and no one wants to take blame for messing up the arab spring president obama's most recent remarks suggested that his administration is not finished in libya we are going to find out who did this and we're going to hunt them down because one of the things that i've said throughout my presidency is when folks mess with americans we go after them the obama administration has received congressional approval to allocate money for a special unit reportedly of some five hundred people who will allegedly be training counterterrorism forces in libya also there are anonymous reports that the cia is asking for more drones specifically for libya none of this sounds new drone strikes training forces in foreign nations but past experience has shown when the u.s. goes about cleaning up. it often gets even messier in washington i'm going to check . in with our two still to come in the program the israeli troops intercept

a gaza. international activists humanitarian aid on board a story the latest attempt to reach the blockaded enclave by c. plus. now listen. i'm warning you if you keep screwing up like this we'll show you some different treatment a chilling warning for some top flight football is sinister threats and pit bull rounds fall out of the russian premier league team last. story still to come but first tens of thousands of people to be marching through central london in anger against the painful austerity measures being forced on them prime minister david cameron recently warned of war painful decisions for the struggling economy. was among the crowds thousands of people have taken to the streets of london to. see much organized by the trade. many. that is against the cuts they say have flatlined the economy now there are people from

all walks of life there are nurses worried about the n.h.s. there are police officers all feed the world worried about cuts the front line services in amongst the people the marching here today many many families all across the age range feel that they've been affected in some way by the continued cuts my parents rely on the n.h.s. you can see cancer getting worse my son to stephen he's paying the ground here in fees i work in the country sector and legal aid is being cut so we work with very vulnerable people and they won't be able to get the same help from the next year they just protect the rich they protect the interest of the rich neighborhood out fear in the people who are it were marching against the cuts and she's marching for the future right she's worried. that my future is now because it's not just britain this being the thing. the start because it had a europe wide effect of the euro crisis rumbles on within us there actually i get taking great the specially in the last month in spain in greece all across the year

i say the people are simply saying that they've had enough here in london i think that was a reason for the hundreds of thousands maybe even more that come out here today to march against the us there is. one of the organizers of today's massive protest says britain's decision makers are completely out of touch with the plight of ordinary people i just don't think the government will understand the pain that they're cooked in their economic program have been in communities up and down the country whether it's public services that you use your value whether it's your job that you worried about the future living standards even those people who work a full on over the last two years people are hesitant and the courts where they're not even in the government's own tend to they're not within that deficit is going up because more people are up where the benefits of bill is going up the only way to really reduce the deficit is to get economic growth going again and they couldn't austerity plan is failing to deliver economic growth we need to see people back to where investment in jobs investment in communities and their government

lease it swallow its pride and go for plan b. because plan a just isn't working right people going to see lots of different forms of protest people campaign in their local communities down the contingent case and that will mean people take in. more world news from r.t. in moscow after the break. a texas mom was arrested and thrown in jail orange jumpsuit and all for neglecting her kids who were playing in front of her house for just a little while a concerned neighbor and sort of say walking across the street you know to talk to the unintended children to find out what's going on went to total sheep mode and immediately called nine one one because children playing it is truly an emergency worth the police's time but i guess it was worth their time because they showed up

and slap the cuffs on the mother who claimed that she was there the whole time and of course to punish you for ignoring your children briefly while they play you'll get thrown behind bars because that makes sense where does this culture of fear come from if you leave your kids alone on your own property why does that mean that they are certainly going to die there are dangers out there believe me but living in constant fear abuses your children far worse that's just my opinion. of the. technology innovation is developments around russia we've got the future covered. i mean so the only city in europe i'm the host of the twenty fourth seed with through the big. thank you.

thanks. suzie it's so true. friend jackie northam last terrorist attack. x. hostages let us into their lives and after the tragedy. still gives try to cross out the past. because their future will yet be written. surviving terrorism ten

years on r.g.p. . russia would be so much brighter if you moon about sound from finest impressions. stop totty dot com. the news continues here on r.t. live in moscow the israeli military has seized a boat on route to gaza carrying international activists and humanitarian aid it was the latest attempt to breach the blockade of the palestinian coastal territory imposed by israel five years ago an israeli raid of a turkish led to the tiller in two thousand and ten left nine activists dead and

sparked international condemnation of tory strength from the from behind the latest age shipment says they will continue their missions despite forceful israeli action . by also on the top two thousand and ten slutty i wasn't a swedish weak ship and this was a horrible attack on civilians that were and are and. all people on board are aware of the risks that day or taking and they are doing that anyhow they are doing that because they want to show their solidarity to other people to people or to the palestinian single also because i think the palestinians also have you know if they are human beings they must have the same human rights as other people and so we have to challenge this siege as long as the international community doesn't do so you know to w.h.o. to save the children united nations european union everyone says that the siege is

counterproductive but no one is doing anything about it so we have to take civil action against. a new guide. ex-pat educated in some petersburg is raising eyebrows somewhat bizarre campaign to promote. to help to make a living in russia. out of the picture. the police. rushing. to becoming the world's biggest listed producer to be on the verge of getting the british share of the b.p. joint venture in one of the most expensive industrial deals ever. it's a deal it's been a long time in the coming it would seem according to the front page of russian newspaper commerce on saturday that it has been done now that deal will see role sniffed the buyouts b.p.'s fifty percent share of the company t n k b.p.

just how much that's going to cost though well initially b.p. had said they wanted twenty eight billion dollars fifty percent share it seems that they've come to an agreement somewhere around the market seventeen billion dollars in cash and thirteen percent of gross nest stock this is all part of plan to try and take over all of t.n. k b p they're currently in negotiation with b.p.'s a all to buy out the other half of the company if they can do that then become the largest publicly traded oil company in the world but there's no reward without risk in the risk is taking. buying out to be paid is that they will incur debts of upwards of sixty billion dollars to put that in a little context that says as much as some european nations nationally. so it's an awful lot of money they're. taking on they'll be hoping that the oil price remains

high so that they can get a good solid return on their investment in terms of b.p. and what that means to live here in russia it's certainly not the end for them they'd. they didn't want to be out of russia they just wanted an end to their partnership in t a k b p what they really want is to do business with rosneft and to get a slice of ross they have to potentially lucrative oil exploration rights for the arctic so this is all going to continue on for a little bit longer deals will be done between roles they have to be be bob's in the future but when we get confirmation that this is certainly going through a bring it all here i'll take. a not so warm welcome clay is from russian premier league football club the number has been shelled with pink ball bullets during a training session no one was hurt but it's deeply angered fans and players throughout russian soccer bodies andrew farmer explains what might be behind the attack. the club have issued a statement that says that these were the actions of idiots that unama fans have nothing in common with those that were involved but it is important also to stress

that this has happened just a month after an extraordinary episode that happened at the training ground just as i say four weeks ago and then the club did allow some supporters to address the players and if she violent threats in the hope it would improve performances and results the whole thing was recorded and put on you tube which we translated for you. now listen now i'm warning you if you keep screwing up like this we'll show you some different treatment if we catch any of you in a nightclub enjoying yourselves the way garani and a boa spotted doing doing all of you hang out all the time will be out of you right there on the sports for the minute so i mean once you've heard that you perhaps can understand why they denominate feel disadvantaged in this image which would come out day in state at some of the plays are feeling frightened what's more the union for russian players and coaches says it believes the nama massacre was actually encouraged fans were given the signal to fans that it is ok to shoot threats to the

players in addition to the pike the incident that took place on friday leaflets were also left at the ground showing the faces of poor in our midst foreign plays and alongside their faces were the words we do not want charity in the villages anymore it would be noble warnings get rid get rid of them so you can say so very intimidating stuff on the general point you could argue that perhaps the foreign plays were shown were highlighted because they are amongst the highest in this club the number of fans the whole after strikes at the moment because it is it's seen with great history in russia but it has lost what it has only won three of the last nine games the russian i mean even if they stick their table to the risk you so much that is what happened as we say over the last twenty four hours but also coming on the back of that series instead into were extraordinary instant matches you call it that took place there training ground last month and whether that's

where it is the moment here or not in a few minutes we head over to our washington studio for a capital account with lauren the staff. it's perched atop a judge rock and the view from the kremlin stretches as far as the eye can see apt for a city that chilled all of siberia for centuries. it lost its economic importance even before it was bypassed by the chance i bear in railway but the a spiritual center. eat. things like these are a yearly occurrence thousands of orthodox worshippers of them selves and blessid water to commemorate the baptismal jesus.

it doesn't matter if it's minus thirty it's a siberian tradition i do it myself every year for everyone to overcome their worst fears it is desirable to take the plunge. but that's a picture postcard church is the story of a city built by opportunist explorers political exiles and crafty fur traders. in the fifteen eighties the russians had only just conquered siberia taking it from the muslims. surrounded by enemies to be their stronghold constructed on top of the city but soon enough it became an economic hub siberian oil of its time bringing in a third of all russia's state revenue but the location head of the says for the russians. to moscow is one of the most popular places to send particle decentest any people were exiled to that once

a giant ball that was used to incite riots was supposed to set a three hundred ten. the russian heiress across who led a revolt against an eight hundred twenty five known as the decembrists worse than hare and drove. there they created a replica high society adopting the latest fashions as soon as they came out or at least once they made it from paris to siberia. but the city also serves up some bit of irony for the russian royal family after the bolshevik revolution. this is the office was solemn nicholas the second spend most of the last year of his life his whole family had been exiled here they were the fairly comfortable existence this was a big house but they weren't allowed to see visitors or go outside themselves leaving this ordinary normal countryside lifestyle they even had thoughts of escape but within the year bizarre and his family would be dead.

over again its political significance but the streets will always go with a glorious past and it will likely provide them livelihood first inhabitants in the future. good afternoon welcome to capital account i'm lauren lyster here in washington d.c. these are your headlines for friday october nineteenth the qs federal reserve bomb plotter is in the headlines today as home country of bangladesh reportedly wants details on his case while this may make headlines we'll talk about one aspect of the federal reserve that does not well as if the fed may arguably be making war

easier and more prevalent we'll hear from lou rockwell of the ludwig on the institute and we keep hearing about the middle class from the two main contenders for u.s. president. that's how we built the world's greatest middle class this is about bringing good jobs back for the middle class of america. and these candidates these candidates talk about supporting the middle class in terms of tax cuts loopholes regulation but they leave out. the money in the middle classes pockets pockets that are being picked every second of every day what happens to the middle class if you don't address this aspect will discuss and it is the twenty five year anniversary of black monday it is also the one year anniversary of the show's launch. thank you fake applause would respond to your birthday wishes and more and your
