Especially worrying for them this time is that even Germany, seen as the EU's backbone, is not being spared.

Corbett: Libya shattered, pieces dangerous
Relatives of the slain Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi are reportedly looking to The Hague with a 'war crimes' lawsuit against NATO. They accuse the Alliance of deliberately targeting Gaddafi's convoy, which they say posed no threat to civilians. NATO was only allowed into Libya by the UN solely to protect citizens. Meanwhile, the military alliance has postponed its preliminary decision to end its Libya mission by the end of this month, following calls from the interim government to stay on.

Censored: Row over anti-immigration ad banned in Sweden
A dispute over freedom of speech is raging in Sweden after an anti-immigration advert was rejected by broadcasters there. Center-right politicians say legitimate debate is being stifled and now fear right-wing parties will be unfairly treated in the run-up to upcoming elections. That's prompted calls from politicians in Denmark for election observers to be sent to its Scandinavian neighbour. One of those politicians is Michal Aastrup Jensen, a Danish member of parliament, who joins RT live from Copenhagen.

'Greek deal no bazooka but water pistol in face of inferno'
European banks have agreed to write off 50% of the debt owed to them by Greece. It was decided during an emergency summit in Brussels, where EU leaders made, what many believe, was the final attempt to save the Eurozone. The settlement was reportedly a close-run thing, with the bank lobby holding out until German Chancellor Angela Merkel threatened letting Greece default. The EU also promises to loan Athens another 100-billion euros, while the ballooning bailout fund is in line to expand to a trillion euros. Now the task is to put it all into action. And Johan Van Overtveldt, who runs two of Belgium's leading business magazines, believes what's been achieved simply lacks any sort of punch. RT on Twitter twitter.com RT on Facebook www.facebook.com

Syria: 'Prospects of an intervention drawing parallels with the war in Libya'
From:Russia Today Libyan in(ter)vention: False facts fatal for Gaddafi Published: 02 December, 2011, 10:49 Sanctions against Syria and looming prospects of an intervention into the country are drawing ever more parallels with the war in Libya. But as it turned out, the "facts" used to wage a "humanitarian war" on Tripoli, underwent almost no verification. "There's no evidence to justify the humanitarian war in Libya," is the conclusion of filmmaker and independent journalist Julien Tiel. "In the beginning of this story, we got some allegations which have been looked at and said to the UN Human Rights Council and those allegations had never been verified or checked," he told RT's Tesa Arcilla." And these had been used also as material for the ICC case against Libya." On March 17, UN Security Council Resolution 1973 was passed, imposing a no-fly zone over Libya. Accusations were that Gaddafi had bombed his own people from air and land, used foreign mercenaries, ordered the use of rape as a weapon, and killed by the thousands. "I can't prove there was no bombing. All I know is that there is no evidence of bombing," says Julien Tiel. "So I interviewed the man who went to the UN Human Rights Council, Sliman Bouchuiguir." Sliman Bouchuiguir was the former Secretary General of the Libyan League for Human Rights and is now the Libyan ambassador to Switzerland in Bern.

After a two day ceasefire to allow residents to leave, NTC forces attempted further attacks on, the ousted colonel's hometown, Sirte.

Pro-Assad rally draws thousands to Syrian capital
The Syrian capital has been the scene of a massive show of support, the biggest for months, for embattled President Al-Assad, with calls for him to be given more time to make the promise of reform a reality. Thousands of people gathered in the heart of Syria to show their support and loyalty to President Bashar Al-Assad. He is still struggling to quell a nationwide uprising despite promises of reforms.But his supporters say the government needs more time to push through change. RT's Tesa Arcilla has travelled to Damascus to see for herself what is happening on the ground. "America, out, out, Syria will stay free," chanted the crowd in the capital Damascus on Wednesday, many of them carrying pictures of Al-Assad and Syrian flags. Thousands showing their support for the government is a sharp contrast with the images of anti-government protests we have been seeing in other cities. But one thing is clear -- there is political discourse, sometimes even tension, trickling down to the most basic unit of society. Voices of support and continuing dissent ring out across the city, speaking of past and future unrest. Polar opposites in their demands, they are united by a newfound zeal to take a stand. What the demonstrators would indeed oppose is a decision coming from the outside. The belief that Syria's choice should be made within the country was shared by most Damascus demonstrators. "God, Syria and Bashar," sang the students, elderly, rich and poor gathered for the rally. Their <b>...</b>
