that's according to sources who spoke. while fighting continues in the perceived libyan city of baghdad where it has been

on the go for more than three weeks now we are beginning however to hear disturbing reports that a foreigner troops and snipers could be used in the assault on the city. they told something dangerous that. maybe if it got out of them somewhere inside the city do. you know and. now earlier in the week there were conflicting reports at the city had fallen these reports have proven untrue but not before thousands of bani walid residents tried to make their way back to the city now we are hearing from our sources on the ground that these people have been stopped by roadblocks that have been set up by militias at the entrances and exits to the city that there has been firing in the air widescale panic and that now thousands of people are on the desert highway in

addition to this our sources tell us that they continues to be armed gangs and militia that opera trolling the streets and are ransacking people's homes we're hearing reports of homes being bulldozed of homes being looted and we continue to hear these reports over the at the moment and verified of the use of chemical weaponry i can confirm the these militias used internationally preheated weapons they used phosphorous bombs and nerve gas we have documented all these in videos recorded the missiles they used on the wire transfers raining down from these missiles many people died without being wounded or shot they died as a result of gases the whole world needs to see who are they targeting other really good of his men other children women and old men killed his men the united states state department was questioned by our team here in terms of why the story is being ignored in the way it's done their answer was that they're not ignoring the store. they are following it but you only need to take a look at the u.s.

state department website and see that the last time i met anyone it was mentioned was back at the beginning of the year we support the efforts of the libyan government to get control of militias and to provide security throughout the country including in bani walid and to do so in a way that. is respectful of the human rights of all citizens and allows humanitarian organizations to get in so we are watching the situation very closely now the libyan army was given the order to use all means necessary to deal with the city and so what they're saying is that all means necessary are being employed. parasites leeches a message to all of them across libya wherever they are whoever you are and however strong you are you have your back is the revolution should we. also we hear from our sources both within the city and elsewhere in europe and north africa

people who have family inside the city that the killings are far from over his policy to write their will in the meantime author and journalist neil clark believes the worsening humanitarian situation in bani walid is simply an inconvenient truth for those who threw their weight behind last year's armed revolt in libya. let's think back to every twenty eleven we couldn't because the newspaper in the u.k. or us or put on the b.b.c. or c.n.n. without hearing about what was going on in libya a humanitarian disaster or a hole colonel gadhafi forces were killing lots of people there were gains of a massive massacre in benghazi and because of that we went to war that that was the reason for war and today the situation lever is much worse we got a humanitarian catastrophe taken place the number of people killed since needing to be has gone up but by between ten and twenty times we've got massacres going on at the moment and there's silence complete silence here in the u.k. and in the u.s. they got what they want what they wanted they got rid of gadhafi they've got a pro western government in power now in tripoli they've taken control of the oil

industry there's privatization western corporations moving in and they don't really give a toss to be honest about what's going on about about human rights abuses the fact that demonstrations are banned throughout the country it's time to move on on to syria of course. thanks for joining us here on r.t. today the iranian opposition has a new voice on the airwaves of a london based t.v. channel for the founder of iraq t.v. a businessman and leader of an anti government movement says his primary goal is regime change in tehran and the launch came on the heels of a ban on more than a dozen state run iranian t.v. and radio stations all across the e.u. on his police boca takes up the story. in london we went to the launch of a brand new and very different iranian news channel this studio belongs to t.v.

now from rocket translates to freedom and that could give an indication of the political agenda behind the need t.v. station in fact its founder is so very many opposed to the current government that he says that he wants to help the iranian people to caplets hate the current regime denies having any financial backing or any seal of approval from international organizations or western governments believe. the british government will back. to your regime hard it can be a t.v. for the change of dictatorship. they want to put this regime by underneath in fact it's the very emergence of a new oppositional iranian television channel in britain teamed with involuntary departure of press t.v. from the u.k. that sets some to question whether the brits pull their love of trumpeting free

speech and balance by doing so very selectively obviously press t.v. very early on the first country in the world and iranian television news channel there are only too glad to welcome a propaganda channel run by as it were the one percent does no one in iran even those opposed to it but it even those opposed to the islamic theocracy in iraq would support this outfit. found. by the grain and television channels like al-jazeera and al-arabiya in fact they say that unlike in libya and afghanistan they want to promote political change from within and looks like perhaps because of their oppositional political agenda nobody here is stopping them. london. and putting yet even more pressure on iran. iran should not obtain a nuclear weapon iran may not have

a nuclear weapon. well israel continues to push washington to back action against iran presidential candidate mitt romney leads the polls in the race for the white house more on that in just a couple of. but we are coming to you live from the heart of moscow it's a pleasure to have you with us today. now where the eurozone in an ever growing crisis greece is certainly struggling to overcome its deficit and now the e.u. is considering a year of inaction. unemployment continues to reach freckles not just in greece but also in spain other grim news comes as madrid's transport workers go on strike i think to a sixth day of protests in the capital against austerity cuts as another epicenter of the e.u. crisis greece looks likely to miss as promised deficit deadline the forecast from the international monetary fund's debt inspectors comes a year after e.u. leaders applauded what they considered a key deal to say that things were for national reports. members approved by

european union leaders this day years ago were designed to tackle the debt crisis that german chancellor angela merkel described as europe's worst economic crisis since the end of world war two e.u. has spent months hammering this package out of the venture it was proclaimed and it was hoped to first save greece by writing of powerful for its that which amounted to that at that time again to one hundred sixty percent of the country's g.d.p. and the second aim of this package was to protect other european countries from this financial instability too and for that purpose it was decided to more than double the european union bailout fund also known as european financial stability facility we've been hearing skaftason is more ready than but a year later it's clear that not only has the crisis is not drawn back but also the european financial climate has worsened with more and more countries now joining

greece and experiencing financial economic fallout likes to go and i mean zuma says e.u. leaders are putting the interests of the people at the bottom of the lists in a strategy that ultimately has got to be changed. some hundred twenty million people of european union are living in poverty are socially excluded is not a good sign not a good symbol for a european you. are not as a nobel peace prize if we are not able to ensure a social peace inside so european union it's not a good sign it's not a good some will. put some people on the contrary our. situation if you if you use the same thoughts which were so reason for the crisis before you have to find methods. and the next hour here on r t we discuss

how the e.u. was with the man known as the guru of the crisis and also just ahead for you. in the business bulletin i'll be taking a look at the global markets reaction won their rounds on the. get x. but analysis from thanks a banker referring to the situation as the rounds held to me right. nineteen iranian channels have been banned in the countries that's called iran for not tolerating free speech among other things well played lads well played i love the smell of hypocrisy in the morning personally but of censorship doesn't bother me that much because there has always been censorship and there were always be censorship if there are any words or symbols or opinions that could get you bumped

off the air or legal trouble in your country guess what you have censorship sorry to say it but that's how it is i don't mind a country saying that there is something so at the thought of cult of their way of life that it must be banned i'm fine with that that's your business in your country and you should. be able to protect your culture and your values but don't lie to me and tell me that you live censorship free when you don't it's your choice you let the iranian channels back on the air or come out of the closet and admit you believe in restricted speech but that's just my opinion. mission. critical three. four charges three to make amends three. three. three. three books video for your media project

a free media party dot com. what lies ahead for. mobilize calls for a new america who stands for the ninety nine percent us election a close guy monday october twenty ninth on r.t.e. . friday and five fifteen pm in moscow this is r.t. israel's calls to bomb iran have stopped the u.s. presidential debate making support for tel aviv a very tough issue for the candidates as i see is a guy nature can explains president obama and his rival romney are now walking

a tightrope with a less than two weeks left until the big election day a red line should be drawn right here the line beyond which lies war with iran. many thought benjamin netanyahu was message at the u.n. general assembly this fall was addressed not so much to the international community but to washington netanyahu would like to be able to communicate to the world that the israelis are ready which he has to attack and that it will be done with the full support of the united states and he's not getting that the tension in the media peaked when president obama practically referred to israel's world mongering as noise that he's trying to block out any pressure that i feel is simply to do what's right for the american people and i am going to block out any noise that's out there pledging full and unconditional support for israel is part of any

presidential election campaign in the u.s. the possibility of war with iran adds a new dimension to this election season the israelis will attack the iranians they will attack it's just a matter of when so americans must decide which presidential candidate can better manage the situation despite campaign big kring president obama has thrown allies like israel under the bus the last debate on foreign policy has shown the candidates hold almost identical views on the issue what if the prime minister of israel called you on the phone and said our bombers are on the way we're going to bomb iraq. what do you let's not go into hypotheticals of that nature of our relationship with israel my relationship with the prime minister of israel is such that we would not get a call saying our bombers are on the way when i've sent young men and women into harm's way i always understand that that is the last resort not the first resort of course

a military action is the last resort as far as red lines for iran i understand and share. whose insistence that iran should not obtain a nuclear weapon my red line is iran may not have a nuclear weapon iran is a nuclear nation is unacceptable the united states president obama said exactly the same. way nine standing ovations to these three week prime minister's speech before congress among other things showed just how powerful these really lobby is in washington despite president obama's support of a two state solution for israel and the palestinians his party members at their convention this fall called for moving the capital of israel from tel aviv to jerusalem it remains evident that there is no daylight between the two parties of israel obama was the guy who gave the impression with his cairo speech and others that he was willing to begin to renegotiate america's policy on you know

on israel and palestine but in fact when he came down to hard political realities has backed off but will he back off when israel decides to attack iran whoever is elected as america's next president will have to walk on the same raise the weight which is between this world that is itching to bomb iran and the american people who don't want another costly and devastating war based on phony red lines in washington i'm going to check on. all the other u.s. presidential candidates will have that second debate next tuesday sharing more ideas and ways to handle america's foreign policy you can cost you a vote online as you watch of this final round between gary johnson and jill stein . and we're going to bring it to you live by artsy america and our web site. we both agree we agree we should read the tax rates down i felt the same as the president did governor romney i'm glad. you agree let's get back to something the president i agree on and there to you that the voters have

a choice perhaps with you wondering who to vote for when romney and obama agree on so many things never you do have other options come november sixth tune in to see the second round of debates between the major third party candidates on october thirtieth. nearly time for the anti world update for now though one of russia's top opposition leaders has been officially charged with plotting mass disorder in the country's biggest cities so to soft foods now subjected to a travel ban denies the accusations he's top bottom reports. opposition figure and leader of the left front political movement in russia surrogate adult sauf has been investigated after suspicions that he may have been planning mass and rest across russia this investigation started after a documentary was shown on russian television which showed hidden camera footage and said that solvent others were planning nothing less than

a coup in russia the documentary also said that he met with georgian politicians to seek funding the caucasus republic of georgia has a hostile relationship to russia russia has seen its largest anti-government protests in twenty years over the past months and some of them have turned violent without soft denies the charges against him and says the videos are fake investigators though say they have verified their authenticity he could face up to ten years in prison if convicted and remains under a travel ban after the charges two others have also been arrested in connection with this investigation one of them investigators say gave a confession although he say's he was abducted from abroad and forced to make that confession investigators do say though that they think they have enough evidence to convict these three men. all right to syria now where the four day truce between

the army and the rebels marking the muslim holiday of aida is already proving rather fragile in the capital and most of the country violence seems to have died down several disruptions that have jeopardized the un brokered cease fire first the radical islamist group which did not commit to a truce clashed with regime forces for control of a military base on the road to the strategic town of aleppo there are also reports of mortar bombs and gunfire heard at the turkey syria border in what looks like another violation. in the area where many rebels are hidden thanks pentagon official michael expressed serious doubt over the effect of nests of the deal from the outside. the government is prepared to have a cease fire but it takes two to tango as it as it were and i don't know that the opposition is prepared to. stand down i think they they feel that the government will then take advantage of the cease fire to realign troops and put in artillery

so i think that they're going to be reluctant to do that there are terror attacks going on in syria a lot of the opposition is coming from outside forces more radical elements of joint so syria is being subject to outside terrorist attacks and it's going to go on and unfortunately the united states is backing this as well as turkey and i think that the united states really doesn't have a clear policy on toward toward. the side except to get him out but then the question is what and then what are you going to have after that and if aleppo falls that could begin to raise additional problems and could cause a major spread and isolate the regime on the one hand i've talked to people in lebanon for example who said that those below will attack even israel if aleppo falls simply because of the assistance that the israelis have been giving to the

opposition so i would be skeptical that such a cease fire not only could go into effect but that it could even hold. our staying with syria into the world update we go excuse me the breaking of the ceasefire in syria we'll get to that in just a moment as a millions an hour praying and celebrating as muslims mark the holiday generally speaking violence is stopped for holy days hundreds of millions of muslims across the world now are celebrating this festival of the religious holiday begins at the height of the hug in the saudi arabian city of mecca which annually draws more than two million pilgrims right here in russia some hundred fifty thousand believers have also crowd of the streets of moscow for customer prayers and feasting. more violence during the religious holidays being reported in northern afghanistan where forty one of been killed and seventy wounded in a massive suicide bombing and the attacker who was wearing a police uniform blume self up in a crowd gathering at

a mosque for celebrations the province's top officials were inside the building but did escape on harmed and there were however police officers and soldiers among the dead still at this point no one has claimed responsibility. plus at least one person has been killed and over forty injured in peru's capital lima during a protest against the government's decision to move a local wholesale market by demonstrators allegedly attacked police with clubs and rocks forcing them to defend themselves at its origins how to use concrete blocks to prevent vehicles from entering the market. business time with r.t. is a must to see you again we've been reporting now for a year well exactly a year ago today greece was given bailout cash but i suppose the question still lingers on badly any good results katie oh as it were already you're right are there any i don't know who that is the answer to that i mean it's certainly questionable that question is being floated in all directions today with an

investor is asking what is being done we got pressed so be impolitic on the euro as a leader is that it's really as investors and really papers are just the people in greece and sellers trying to make ends meet now we spoke to a danish sachs a bank expert referring to the situation as groundhog day. i think what we see is a combination of germany being still saying nine nine nine dong and at the same time that the social change unless you just talk briefly will increase i mean to me the real surprise here is that the source of tension is not bigger and more should be seen in the streets because ultimately this extended britain the victim has become the middle class and the employees who today take hold listen ever before and what they do take hold is actually not able to buy them anything close to what it did just one year or two years ago. where the your pin markets right now are actually timing more display and that's not because of what's going in the going on

in the eurozone i should say it's what's going on in the u.s. right now because there are quietly better than expected u.s. g.d.p. data coming out that was for the last quarter and that's being put down to a pick up in consumer spending meanwhile the euro though continuing to struggle really of raising all of the gains now that's really with the rise in unemployment in spain that you've been reporting yourself henri the russian ruble continues to be makes the equities they are following the lead of the softer news this friday afternoon haymow sky they are really entrenched in the red although not nearly as bad as last hour actually they are managing to reduce their losses i should say though the european bank for reconstruction and development has upgraded its growth forecast for russia now the bank expects the country's economy to surge three point two percent this year something the developed economies could perhaps only dream of now the anticipated result could be shunted by high inflation a.b.r.

day expects it to be official targets to reach six point eight percent by the end of the year and they've done really such great lengths to become the first russian financial corporation to provide it resold aids in africa the firm has set up a subsidiary in nigeria that will walk away the point to. credits in local stolz to say the country's retail banking is not about that and could become a golden goose for the russian bank however do business in nigeria is quite risky to be stable political situation and a high level of crime and then all of the benighted gadgets we've got coming up next here in alt. gracefully. it is a way of life traditionally the people are. herders and.

they are also highly skilled and organized. depending. on the day we found this particularly camp they were settled near the coast of the. here for families work together to manage nearly a thousand reindeer herding reindeer is not just a job people want back. and way of life and they can use almost every single part of the range to help them survive. the deer is a means of transportation. equipment. for the. life in the tundra is harsh and so before winter hits many of the children are helicoptered to the center of the district for boarding school.

students learn different languages utilize modern technologies through specialized grant programs and even learn arts skills all within a protected the school was founded. a scientist who wanted a better way of life for his people but even with the most progressive ideas and education many say they don't want to trade the modern life. i have returned to the time and i actually like it here if you're outside there's fresh air fresh water looks at the site you can see deer it's a joyful sight. it's a sentiment that hopefully ensures that russia's northern reindeer will have caretakers for generations to come.
