major story sunny as rami would write for the hebrew priests a month later gaza's ruling hamas party banned palestinian journalists from working with israeli media accusing it of being hostile tel aviv refuses to recognize hamas and regards it as a terrorist organization and a magnet for mother i do not understand this decision unfortunately i feel that our struggle will have less meaning if we do not speak to the israeli media and make them hear our message sami feels he's on a personal crusade to help both sides better understand each other when his nine year old daughter was hit by an israeli missile it was his israeli editors who arranged for her to be bought across the border and treated and it was in the newspapers that he published his anger and anguish over israel's bombardment of gaza. to how to me and israel is using the media in its war against us in this war journalists are under attack they want to kill all our words and reports that prove that there were crimes in gaza their father has a half year of the attackers coming from both sides of the border israeli
3:32 pm
journalist two are banned from working in gaza but ironically it's not hamas but tel aviv that stops them deeming it too dangerous for them to report from their overhead him oh is among a handful of israeli journalists who'd regularly work in gaza but after his government made it illegal six years ago his station employed gaza based palestinian journalists now because of hamas as ruling even that has become impossible it's very problematic decision of hamas futch of lot of other decision to hamas made the result is that the only reports leaving gaza that are those hamas sanctions are not particularly promising in light of a recent human rights watch report that accuses a mass of harassing assaulting an arbitrarily detaining journalists israel too has come under fire for deliberately tog. reporters and media affiliated to him us. twenty places in the two thousand and thirteen world press freedom index due to the
3:33 pm
actions of its army in the palestinian territories the media blackout does little to shed light on the fate and future of ordinary gazans it also perpetuate stereotypes on both sides of the border that have done nothing but breed mistrust and hatred policy on television. for the segregation in the region to with echoes of apartheid in israel where there are plans for palestinian only buses are tells you that story. more news today violence is once again flared up. these are the images the world has been seeing from the streets of canada. giant corporations rule the day. presidency in georgia and as the clock ticks to his departure thoughts of his
3:34 pm
legacy on the plus side he's been hailed by some for revitalizing the look at the capitol but as. the reports not everyone sold of psycho israelis big money building spree. over the past five years georgia has changed dramatically of president mikheil saakashvili is architectural programs but not everyone is in the mood to admire these architectural novelties and his family lost their home several years ago after falling on hard times they had been promised a new flat by the city's authorities but the promise hasn't been kept and now they're a moment group of several others who are homeless forced to find shelter in an abandoned school. this city is building and being painted but we have nothing it is supposed to be built for the people but we are the people and we have nothing if there is no us then there's no need for all this beauty we have
3:35 pm
small children here and we live in a house with this building with no heating or electricity improving george's outlook was made a priority by saakashvili police his old town has seen more than building spring up including this huge government justice department said to be the world's biggest and this glass and steel bridge and while the public's response to the modernization has generally been positive there's been some notable criticism as well this peculiar building is probably the biggest example of his architectural failings millions will board it was meant to become a major entertainment center now the speculation is rife that the new government is planning to scrap its construction and even dismantle the unfinished building. finding the regional advantages and that could be the fate awaiting another high profile project this government described as the city of dream structure a brand new port was to be built on georgia's black sea coast with its overall cost estimated at nine billion dollars now you want to turn into
3:36 pm
a major regional center but a call just say the whole idea was doomed to fail from the start. that area wasn't suitable for constructing buildings they call here the area is basically a swamp this region is protected by an international convention and has always been protected we said all along this would be an enormously expensive project because it's difficult to build a skyscraper on unstable soil the first hotel spilled there immediately had problems they basements were flooded. the logical plan was eventually scrapped by the new government and the same goes for many other investment plans which economists say have seen huge sums simply squander it. really is not. so. is a quality of the new or development project. the great.
3:37 pm
huge mistakes people right through. their methods. power changed hands in georgia after party lost the parliamentary election it then became clear some fundamental issues like daunting poverty with almost a third of the country's three million population living below the poverty line have largely been left unaddressed the new government hasn't yet made its economic policy clear but and his family say they could be forced to leave the temporary home at any minute and they're only left to hope that the new political elite takes notice and action of their plight. ski r.t. reporting from belief in georgia. it just couple minutes time libya's interim prime minister during the civil war tells us what the future holds for his embattled country now i'll see again in thirty five.
3:38 pm

3:40 pm
mission. critical three. four judges three. three. three. years. old free broadcast video for your media project a free media dog r.t. dot com. why would you really be an politician former high ranking official with a coffee garment and also the former leader of the libyan revolutionary council in two thousand and eleven it's great to have you again with r.t. sir. back to libya has made progress after the revolution and problem into elections were held your party won by your party the national forces alliance but
3:41 pm
then the constitution yet has to be drafted and country remains still much under control of the revolutionary groups and militias who you tell us who holds power right now in libya. well. power and the few that are going on the fishes since the trysts with the with the loosely to buddy on with the government you know but realistically speaking who holds who holds guns you know so in a sense so that is. this is the car to me between real power. and official podium hopefully you know with the with the progress that we are involved in right now with those developments that some sort of compatibility between the two can be complete struck yet levy is probably the only example of the arab spring country that was able to pick up its economy after the revolution if you look at the other countries that underwent the arab spring we get the sense that instead of
3:42 pm
prosperity they got rather in security why. well first of all libya did not pick up its a condom its economy did not pick up only the oil production was resumed you know. it's a pity you know because the. foreign countries you know. rushed into libya immediately know to start pumping oil again because it's connected to their way of life to their economies you know while barrister projects all over the country are still intact they're still as they were left in the seventeenth of february you know so. if it was not for this drop of oil it libya would be in the same situation like egypt and tunisia today you know so it's always not the libyan economy in general. i think libya because of this oil was the subject. of being target by too many countries because this. is needed not really
3:43 pm
for libya maybe you know to finance some other projects in the region you know. taking a look at the qana me today or the. decision and. the situation which american budgeting is in today you know i think libya. we use it or at least is being seen as an alternative to you know to finance compensate for the lack of assistance that might be coming from europe from the united states that's why libya. is a strategic target for too many too many players and in the region and worldwide many libyans that have been spoken to and most of them are people who never liked qaddafi because they're all very educated they studied abroad but they tell tell me that one thing that could not not be denied is that during khadafi there was seen a sense of security and stability. and this is something they're we're lacking
3:44 pm
greatly right now how much time you think it will take for libyans to feel secure and first ability when you see the post conflict periods is difficult when it's not an easy thing especially in a country where we create a culture who is totally absent you know needs time needs patients and he's a real love of this country you know which lots of people lack those days and other opinion is that the problem is between a growing gap between the victor towns like for example benghazi and the loser towns like ben while eight people feel like maybe that gap is widening and they're like two camps establishing in syria do you feel that. some glimpses of that are true you know what you see you cannot deny that this is the harvest to forty two years of of a culture that somehow.
