we just need to take libya as a playbook we've had the bombing of libya now over six months and the situation there and conditions are deplorable for the civilian population is divided the people of libya and we do not want to see the same situation develop in syria because it's going to be the united states and these western industrialized countries and the populations within these western industrialized countries that are going to be victimized by this war that they're planning to carry out against the syrian government came up you know i usually say mark and see what settlement i see mark in washington and the solution you disagrees very much mark already had actually described as our. i hardly know where to begin the syrian people would be lucky to join the libyan people in tunisia people in egypt and people in freedom they would be lucky to get rid of it dictator with murdering his already murdered three thousand six hundred innocent civilians his father killed tens of thousands in and if the syrian government is on the up and up and frankly i don't know anyone who believes it'

a partnership between libya and russia. the first step russia took as libya's partner was to deliver humanitarian aid into the country during the military phase of the political conflict we had talks with the leaders of the national transitional council in benghazi and agreed that the interests of russia would be respected in libya after gadhafi was toppled but all contracts with russia would be preserved and the interests of russian companies are respected if we're going to continue our active work in libya back in their little home heavy. according to earlier statements by the national transitional council and you covered and will respect contracts concluded with the russian federation but we also hear other statements like the one made by one of the new heads of the libyan oil company he doubted russia's position during the voting on security council resolution one ninety seven three saying that russia was more demanding than it should have been and that it was more reluctant to show its support for the opposition there'

in libya in order to topple the gadhafi government in libya also we have the situation in to meijer where the armed forces there assisted the n t c and nato forces in destabilizing libya and it does not serve the interests of the syrian people or any other people in the region to have a direct u.s. and western involvement in their countries the arab league has been attempting to mediate the situation inside of syria the secretary general of the arab league mr not bill l.r.b. i was in damascus about five days ago and this is what needs to be incurred there needs to be encouragement of dialogue but i had talked to him and i'm going to jump in right here read it was short break and after that short break both will continue our discussion on syrian state parties. and. the. wealthy british science. that's not on. the. market why not scandals find out what's really happening to the global economy with max cons or for a no holds barred look at the global financial headlines tune into kaiser report on our. decades back in time one thousand miles from the north pole. the iraqi t.v. mistaking on a

russia has recognized libya's national transitional council as the official government of libya for minister sergey lavrov said that russia never approved of it always said that he should go but the principles of international norms have been ignored by nato aggression in that country exactly what he had to say. russia has never approved of the former libyan regime back in may president advantage clearly stated that the data should go that the way the united nations resolutions were implemented by some nato members and other states meant that the principle of the supremacy of law was being disregarded the african union and un initiatives were ignored leading to an increase in civilian casualties however it was the protection of the civilian population that was set as the major objective of the security council resolutions implemented by. we are absolutely sure that justice cannot be done using a move. we also expect leaders at this meeting to agree more humanitarian aid money as libya starts the long process of rebuilding the country of this war. well to discuss the situation surrounding lib

can libyas people achieve reconciliation? they believe a new libya can succeed. >> the enormous difficulties lie ahead, of course. but the libyan people are showing the world at their courage and resilience. they're coming together to tackle issues of water shortage and power. officials have been cautioning against disorder and reprisals. >> mr. jalil, as transitional leader, said he was speaking directly to libya's people. >> we also have to make sure we fulfill our side of the deal. we need to make sure that we have stability and security in the bid -- in libya. tolerance and forgiveness must continue. >> this has been a day of enormous political symbolism, pointed the way for the future. >> to ensure the villa's future, nato -- to ensure libya's future, nato air strikes will continue. there was pressure for a new -- a u.n. mission to help pressure for the state. and there was a request that all libya's assets be unfrozen. libya needs a new start, and millions in libyan bank notes that had been frozen under u.n. sanctions,

moscow appeals to the global community not to repeat history's mistakes by leaving libya and syria in shout balls. just after four pm here in the russian capital this is r.t. our top story a top court in berlin has thrown out a series of lawsuits which said germany is back rolling of bailouts to ailing european economies were illegal but not just ruled out giving chancellor merkel a blank check saying any a future aid must now be pre-approved by parliament well that could have or germany's ability to react swiftly to any new crises but sets a precedent for other nations to tighten their belts as well opposition parties welcomed the ruling but said merkel had made the crisis worse through delays and a lack of vision for the national visor believes there's little to celebrate just yet. ultimately this is actually i think what we would call a character victory it's an empty victory for mrs merkel and yet be a large can go ahead but like all the court judgments we need a small print and what is happening today is that in the german court which has clearly been very very much split only is

reef notion r t tripoli libya. and john laughland from the institute for democracy and cooperation in paris says that the cameron sarkozy visit to libya underlines the real goal of the nato strategy. i don't think anybody seriously bought the line that this intervention was about protecting civilians that was merely the fig leaf the legal figley for that france britain and america used to overthrow gadhafi the west by overthrowing gadhafi wanted to maintain the fiction that the entire world is moving towards a western dominated model of pro western model it wanted to show that the arab spring movement was a movement for liberal western style democracy and of course as soon as a country a state the regime stood in the way of that apparent wave which was the case of libya it's regime was brushed aside that has now been achieved and that's why david cameron and nicolas sarkozy have gone there today it's to demonstrate that fact and it's to publicize to show to the world their victory at least in their own terms. the s

in libya. well i mean the meeting happens at the same time as it is being announced but there's been a deal by between. the transitional national council and the french about how much of libya's oil the french are going to get that is a direct payment in kind for the massive aerial bombardments that were carried out by the french so clearly this is about this is a kind of car this is this is a real payback that the that the french government of this agreement has really struggled with france that is still at this moment unconfirmed their b n c has reportedly promised to give us a thirty five percent of crude oil producing livia's of the french in exchange for support that's quite full and parliament. well i mean you know this is supposed to be a sovereign country we shouldn't be in a situation where deals are being made in terms of the natural resources of that country if this was indeed. a movement for democracy a movement for popular power if this had anything to do with the arab spring that
