hundred in a televised national address a follow islam gadhafi said only fourteen people died also dismissing reports that his father fled the country meanwhile the unrest continues to spread further through the region with protests in yemen bahrain and morocco the regional expert agency says that global dominance groups are behind the wave of revolts. of of thirty forty or fifty euro regime but many of these countries certainly in egypt certainly libya certainly in tunisia and back during that might be getting themselves into just as bad or even worse trouble if they don't really understand the so should proceed because this is going on and we will fall the interest that may be driving them from outside of the middle east because i think this ties into a more global pattern where we have to understand the major geopolitical long term planning emanating from such organizations as the council on foreign relations the trilateral commission and the building berggruen for take the cake it's been

fighting the arab world and have been fighting the sovereign nation state as an institution on a global basis so in a way if they can get rid of these strong mad men whether it be hosni mubarak in egypt or colonel gadhafi in libya and try to transition has always seen before to a more liberal chaotic and more controllable the worse you style democracy that would serve in a privilege to serve what we have to be very careful about the viewers readings that we make of this is very important that both the pro protesters on one side and the government of egypt whether it be in libya whether it be in a back reign or in tunisia should understand how powerful social forces they are up against the psychological warfare tactics that are being used and they should not allow themselves either side to be used by interested objectives which are completely outside the interest of libya because all the egyptians or the tunisians

or the iraqis or just about any country that is having such turmoil in the middle east the president well as u.s. secretary of state hillary clinton very iterated calls for either a strict at internet access for all some experts or taking a more skeptical view of her campaign investigative journalist webster tarpley told r.t. that washington is using social media to drive revolts in the greater middle east where it would be color revolutions of the post soviet space. thing that hillary clinton talked about is digital activists in other words there's a youth ball in the world they want to mobilize these people i think what she's got in mind is a secret army of hackers and indeed trolls that will be the shock and awe of the new decade and this is what they were able to deploy in egypt they say it's simple you get the rich kids using facebook and twitter you get the rich kids into the square you put that on television you convince the rest of the society that the government is deeply unpopular and the revolution takes off it's

a way to come on manipulate and dupe an entire society and that's this is what a color revolution or cia people power coup or post-modern co actually is. to a ring of war ships were delayed entry in egypt suez canal this comes after israel and the us expressed strong concerns over the dispatch a first for terror navy well earlier egyptian officials said they had the cargo allowing. the passage was attacked by israel who called for the world to act against iran school recurring provocations argues policy is keeping across developments in tel aviv. there's many prime minister benjamin netanyahu says that he views with most gravity the posturing of these two iranian warships through the suez canal to the mediterranean sea he says that it's really an attempt to take advantage of the current situation to exploited and to extend its regional influence we also heard today from the israeli foreign minister avigdor lieberman

and he says that this is nothing short of provocation israel and iran have not had diplomatic relations for the past thirty years and israel is concerned that iran is sending weapons to its neighbors that will ultimately be used against the jewish state is really soon relations are strained israel convinced an israeli official saying as much over the past few years that iran is supplying weapons to syria that ultimately land in the hands of his but in lebanon now the united states is adding fuel to the whole situation the u.s. state department recently set up a twitter account and it is using their twitter account to post tweets in farsi that supports anti iranian government demonstrators out on the streets of tehran we haven't seen the u.s. state department do anything like that supporting or even expressing any kind of opinion on the same kind of demonstrations that are happening in yemen since nine hundred seventy nine since the iranian revolution they have been no iranian warships that have actually passed through the suez canal this is the first major

diplomatic headache for the egyptian interim government for the ruling military council as you well know president mubarak had a. because from a ship with the united states he was an ally of the u.s. and at the same time relations between him and the rand was strained for the past thirty years it is not clear exactly why they gave permission we haven't had any insight on that but what we have been told reported is that it took in officials have checked the cargo they are confident that there was nothing suspicious on board and as a result they have allowed the free gate and the supply ship to go through well coming up in twenty minutes in cross talk peter lavelle and his guests discuss why countries and the middle east spend so much on the military and how the u.s. justifies its big business in the region. to be in the g.c.c. states to me in part are somewhat comparable to a singapore of switzerland their small populations they want people to know they have weapons system basically want to be left alone saudi arabia does have some

incursions into yemen and he's using it charnock it purchased from the u.s. and other states so i'm not sure about the missile or one could of course discuss the problem out but to say that they're not using it at all i think it would be a question. a lot divided over claims that the countries do should be compensated for the property they lost during the second world war while many including the government say the country was fighting against bolshevik occupation at any cost necessary but you claim that that was just a pretext to steal from their families as artie's peter all they were discovered. thousands of lives been jews were robbed of their property money and in many cases their lives by nazi treats one of the major issues is how much food on the side of

nazi germany a view today so really. unfortunately many believe the lothian waffen s.s. who fought against the bolsheviks were liberators but they in fact were bandits and robbers they have seen documents listing real estate that belong to jews killed in ghettos i think their property should be returned the amount of reparations claimed by latvian jews around sixty five million dollars the country's government says that they will continue to hold talks with religious leaders in order to come up with a solution however those in power draw their support from nationalist groups who are far less diplomatic when it comes to the issue of the lottery an administration is not responsible for the night you're doing and the holocaust began our country was under occupation by definition lightly and i thought at least cannot be responsible for actions of occupants local jewish leaders say that they only want what was stolen to be returned however they realize that this may be difficult with

current attitudes in latvia while they wish we need the property to solve our social problems like develop education culture if it meant say no synagogues and cemeteries of course it's hard to find hours when you need to take back certain property but i hope people will understand and justice will be done a short distance from the capital is the forest where thousands of jews were executed it serves as a poignant memorial to those who lost their lives but in central riga there are equally chilling monuments to the holocaust like this synagogue which was burned to the ground with worshippers still inside over sixty five years after the end of the second world war the burnt out shell of this synagogue serves as a reminder to the tensions that still bubble between the local jewish community and those latvians that consider the s.s. troops to have been heroes while the government continues to draw most of its support from nationalist organizations a resolution for this conflict seems

a long way off peter oliver r.t. riga latvia. as still ahead for you this hour the heavy price for miscalculating operations in afghanistan. he thrives on mistakes of the government of the international community we look into the surge in civilian deaths in the northeast which nato denies also. they say that they'll get them out best friend but of course if you're blind it's a bit more than just companionship and the duty of care is a two way street we need a blind man who went to every life to save his health was also losing her sight as well. now recession is proving that getting to university is not the meal ticket to a study career that it once was when millions of american graduates saddled with college debts from funding their future for that they're also laden with skills employers won't pay for as artists and as

a senior sure can i discovered only the blue color option remains the international children's fund has worked for almost a century help the less fortunate for another nation now we want to tell you about a problem a little closer to home. for only fifteen thousand and he said he'll give everything he needs to survive the idea of adopt a grad maybe a joke but modern day post college survival is most certainly not have seventy six thousand dollars or hunted by tuition debt larry's one of america's college degree owners facing a job market that has long ago thrown out the welcome mat young people have twice the unemployment rate of most americans college grads are stepping out into the world in the worst time to try to land a job with around two million of them unemployed forcing many to forget about their skills and agree to any job are now for over three hundred thousand waiters and

over eighteen thousand parking lot attendant working in the u.s. are said to have. a college degree moreover the u.s. bureau of labor statistics suggests as many as seventeen million americans with college degrees are forced to work jobs requiring less skills than a bachelor's degree provides raising an entire generation of janitors with ph d.'s as we have an ever higher percentage of kids in college and ever higher percentage of kids graduating at the same time as ever more kompany are hiring fewer people so what better time to question whether education really is the best investment fed with america's traditional promise of a dream life after college what students aren't told however is that the cash and time they are investing is going to come back to bite them. at twenty two charles with a bachelor's in film and a dream of directing is already getting ready to settle for less.

because of the economy that he's looking for any available jobs to pay off his student loan debt but has not been able to find any paid work. sixty five seventy thousand college. tuition. apart from weaving a dream career goodbye another big trend according to analysts debt driving much more than career choice if you want to help poor children as a physician good luck with your four hundred thousand dollars and other words people's college and university that is beginning to pick their careers who they marry where they live with the economy in other countries pumping in full mode job hunting overseas is becoming a lot more attractive than in the u.s. a lot of my friends are considering jobs outside of the u.s. in india they're considering i don't and try to sri with fifty thousand dollars of college debt says debt walks hand in hand with american culture take it or leave it

but it's the cost of living the american life that the educational. taking out. a car is the same so you just live from one day to another and the u.s. wants to hold top position as world leader in the number of college graduates at the same time not enough jobs are being created and piles up forcing millions of americans to settle for less than what they dreamed of when coveting that higher education and. all the stories we're covering for you are available right now at our to dot com and let's run through a selection of what else is there coverage why twenty million dollar fleet of yachts belonging to russia. has been seized and friends. and a spy in the sky former russian agent out of chapman is turning her attention to the catwalk with plans to add some glamour to the country's space industry all the

details are of dot com. scores of civilians several portably been killed and nato led operations in the north east of us god has done over the past few days where women and children are said to make up almost half of the victims a further thirteen who were killed have been identified as taliban militants nato has officially confirmed its troops were involved in the ground and iraq relations but denied the civilian deaths. as such incidents only health the taliban recruit new members among desperate locals. it's an ugly or nor an no one wins but the insurgency thrives on the mistakes of the government and of the international community is civilian casualties are the perfect mistakes for them to thrive on and

to to seize up on in a news problem opinion and they're all in favor and also government inefficiency and government problems. this is something that the international community and afghan government has to cope up with then learn and also try to isolate the population from insurgency. and next hour we hear how u.s. operations are not only do you feel you're there but how the consequences all are verbal rate for washington's wider global role peace and conflict. has been studying america's moves for years and here's some of what he has to say. he's going to happen to have this been pushing my view through side of the axis between beijing. russia.

increasing irrelevance so. some will even come to the conclusion that enough is enough that conclusion may not be drawn publicly but that will be kind. to the faith of the us decide on the outside the implications of this i don't even see it. as american politicians in congress wrangle over slashing the world's biggest military budget some republicans are just putting a stop to foreign aid as well although idea has been slammed by the council on foreign relations if we don't think that says the money helps poor countries to add on their own but as our military contributor explains in reality the cash brings very different consequences. see if our experts came up be there a case at the l.a. times trying to save the state department and id budget from the incoming

burn attack by rand paul and other republicans the main case in favor of saving or even marginally increasing the u.s. state department and the budget is based on a false premise that id rich officially stands for american international development el legibly does develop their client states and consequently promotes pax americana all over the world on a shoestring budget in reality it's quiet the opposite because for the recipient countries eight ideas stands for american international dependence not development consider egypt for example the us have invested one point five billion dollars annually in promoting self-sufficiency and independence of egypt agricultural sector but in reality age of dependence on import off you as gray and he's as big

as it's ever been and that's why i strongly and sincerely support senator rand paul initiative to completely abolish id outfeed as they counterproductive and totally an effective reach in their way spreads anti-american feelings and resentment toward state department hypocrisy all over the world. well let's have a look at some other international headlines now a string of attacks on axes in the mexican city of a couple cool has left thirteen people dead the city has been the scene of bloody drug cartel wars for years taxi drivers have often been targeted for extortion and recruited to transport drugs and act as lookouts for gangs mexico's and during one of the bloodiest periods in its recent history with increasing gang violence killing fifty three people in the past three days. ten children have been killed in a blaze at an orphanage for youngsters with disabilities in western estonia nine

adults and thirty seven children were in the wooden building when the fire started most of the children at the home used real chairs and were unable to escape the flames because of the far has not yet been determined now they're still in government has declared monday a day of mourning throughout the country. on hundred seven pilot whales have died after becoming beached on a remote island off the south of new zealand authorities were alerted when a pair of hikers discovered the whales about half were still alive at the time but were euthanized to ease their suffering time constraints and an approaching storm made it unfeasible to rescue the creatures now adults devotion to its owner is often reciprocated but one blind man in moscow has gone to extraordinary lengths to make sure that his guide dog gets a second chance however as our two star firth found out these gifted out of bills are in short supply. when alexei shiloh's guide dog bursar began leading him astray

he realized that rather than a visual aid this might be more of a case of the blind leading the blind the chip to the vets confirmed his worst suspicions. we find cataracts on the dogs eyes and how to take urgent measures. but as they say a dog is for life and despite the large cost of the operation lexie was determined to find a solution. i don't like to think about how much it cost me i took extra work and saved my pension for surgery it was worth. it we had to stop the inflammation and then remove the islands from the dog severely damaged i the surgery was successful and the dogs now able to see again. in a country with a very quarter of a million blind and visually impaired the number of guide dogs available is way fairly inadequate training center on the outskirts and more scale is one of only relatively few and the only one that's government funded there are eighty dogs

being chained here in the center at the moment now the training of the dogs typically start somewhere between ten months and two years old and many of the puppies are bred in the third. but the schools in a catch twenty situation it won't receive further government funding to increase the numbers trained until demand is higher but the demand remains low as many simply can't afford the expense of keeping a pet and in a country struggling to adequately provide for the blind guy i don't completely invaluable as alexei. is like a member of the family she's always in the same room as me. they say that dog is a man's best friend but of course if you're blind a guide dog is so much more than just companionship it's a chance to mobilize is so to really get your life back and it's why it's so important the more guys like this are trained up so say. well that's it for now

i'll be back shortly with the headlines and julia is here with a business update that's after a short break. hello time for your business update and a very warm welcome planning to place and mitchell public offering worth up to one billion dollars this summer russia's leading internet search engine has hired deutsche bank and morgan stanley as underwriters for the i.p.o. and plans to trade on the nuff tech stock exchange the search engines offering could become one of the largest for companies in twenty eleven and mail daughter hughes nine hundred twelve million dollar i.p.o.

last november kendricks which recently landed in the top fifteen most innovative companies previously planned to issue shares back in two thousand and eight but halted its plans due to the crisis. the ongoing dispute between shareholders and neural critical could be coming to a close off to the company major renewed offer to buy but twenty percent of its shares from one of its owners. since the middle of last year two of those majority shareholders the c.e.o. . and the head of interest the developer time in have been vying for control of the nickel producer but with both villainous having twenty five percent blocking stakes and refusing to yield to one another any further development of the company is being blocked chris with a believes how well that the outstanding issue in ending the ra is now just a matter of price. it does appear we're no entering the the end stages of this long

running dispute we noted some key minority shareholders and russo are pressing the board to accept this deal and even the controlling shareholder himself has no acknowledged that they're likely to sell it's no question of price hiking so we certainly see that we are you know more likely to get a deal over the next few weeks or maybe more you can take the next few months but at least i think the principle to we're now talking about the price of the exit rather than the principle of the exit of think that's now been established. let's have a look at the markets now asian markets a mostly trading lower on monday and that's just continued to worry about the growing unrest in the middle east and the latest monetary tightening move by china japan's nikkei finished monday's trading slightly up and hong kong's hang seng is down this hour. foundered rush of the equity markets beginning the week on
