hundred thousand libyans and the ongoing revolt the country's southern most point of lampedusa is the closest european shore to north africa and ultimately the getaway for arab refugees from the troubled region thousands have already flooded the european island after the overthrow of its author terry and regime in january. as this story. they don't call them to do so they get into europe for nothing you see this tiny italian island in the mediterranean is located just around eighteen miles off the coast of north africa and over the past decade many refugees came here looking for a better life and while we were sent to other european countries nevertheless this place still managed to remain a peaceful isolated world populated mostly by fishermen and holiday makers but just recently the peace was disturbed after the recent revolution in tunisia in just two

weeks the island became flooded with a wave of refugees many spend their entire days this wandering around town there have already been reports of thirst and vandalism and several have been arrested we've been talking to the locals and some of them or you know afraid to come out on the streets when it's dark it takes around three days to seal from tunisia to lampedusa and these are some of the actual boats used by the refugees to get here and you can see they're not really that big so it's really hard to believe that sometimes up to three hundred people can cram on each one and actually not all of them even make it to the island some get lost out there in the open sea and some sink dozens of refugees have already died this is the center where many of the refugees are being house you can see it's like a separate town itself they're being given out food and water and clothes and the necessary medical assistance as well all on the state money the problem is it was

initially designed to house just around eight hundred fifty people while it had to receive in reality much more than that and another problem is it's really hard to identify all these people and official say that some of them could be criminals even terrorists would be easy to foreign and interior ministers finally meeting to discuss the situation a resolution is needed fast because the violent. protests continuing both in northern africa and in the middle east italy has already warned a new bigger wave of refugees can flood not only this tiny island but the entire continent you've got pissed them off or. italy. although supporters of libyan leader colonel gadhafi appeared to be turning their back on him international community unites against the bloodshed the country's interior minister has resigned and joined the anti-government protesters after reports of three hundred unarmed civilians being killed in libya's second largest city of benghazi and he accused

gadhafi of planning a wide scale attack on his own countrymen italian foreign minister told reporters that more than one thousand libyans may have been killed in just the past eight days alone the un security council demanded an end to the violence on tuesday while the arab league suspended libya french president has called for e.u. sanctions against the country nevertheless gadhafi vows to fight until the death and die as a martyr. in his first major speech since the unrest began the leader was supposed to attack the opposition and he claimed were bribed drugged and quote serving at the devil. to really discuss the crisis and that we cannot cross live to rome and talk to political scientist james walston so as we've heard a earlier these uprisings are already having an impact on europe with thousands more refugees flocking the continent how do you think you have can handle such an influx of people. but so far they haven't been really refugees from libya yet the

refugees as your report earlier said have come from tunisia itself at all certain that they are the direct result of the revolution in tunisia always been. refused and economic migrants coming from north africa some of them little found fricken some of them sub-saharan africans for the moment more fear the reality the vast majority of undocumented immigrants in italy come in by land over the land borders they don't come in over the sea clearly there is a risk given the huge. but at the moment it seems to be exaggerated so so many of the. the migrants have not yet so to speak up in arriving at people's front doors but let's just talk about where where or into new zealand egypt and all these uprisings have been going on the whole region it's undergoing a major change in egypt the people there are now struggling to create a new power system while libya is on fire trying to oust his dictator it's

a broad question here but what is ahead for the middle east and north africa and how how could that impact the balance of power in the world. very clearly major changes going on in the middle east it's a watershed year but whether whether we can compare it to one thousand nine hundred eighteen in europe or in one thousand nine hundred nineteen in eastern europe it's unclear to see because the first year in the nineteenth century the revolutions took place it was called the springtime of nations and there was a huge amount of hope then and then the absolute history seems all came back to the group illusions didn't take place for quite a long time in one nine hundred eighty nine as will be the balance of power didn't change very dramatically so something is going to happen whether it ends up as a series of democracies or something which is pleasing to western europe or whether they just change the type of power system is still very much unclear what is very

clear is that most of the middle east doesn't like that and don't like the people who are in power and that's going to go on in other countries in different ways now when you talk about western europe and the role that it could be playing or is it just standing by the sidelines here is this regional chaos continues let's talk about. egypt because in egypt other militaries in power there they're waiting to see how they're going to implement a new government there in tunisia people are still waiting for results there is it possible that with the continued confusion in tunisia and egypt there could be a returning to the days of european influence if they fail to manage their own political crisis. i think that is completely. that is fantasy politics because yes the europeans the french of the british and the italians to take over most of north africa in the last century and some of it in the century before but there is no there is neither the military nor the political

might to be able to do that there are the forces of the most obvious one is china in most parts of africa they are certainly very strongly influential in sudan and they have they have influence in other parts of the united states and the europeans are certainly influential and have big interests in libya and libya. libya supplies one quarter of italian. so if things blow up in libya badly italy will be you know will be in serious trouble already the gas has been turned off for precautionary reasons there are economic interests put. colonialism is not it's all part of the agenda and i think european union or if you see will come so you talk about the economic interests here the western europe may share with the with this part of africa you know we know that libya is the twelve world's largest exporter in oil and we know that china as you were saying moments ago has

a very big monthly oil contract with out of sudan but when the unrest started in tunisia many did predict a type of domino effect and evidently that's happened how far could this. oh we're seeing what's going on in bahrain at the moment. there's been some sort of unrest in other parts of the middle east the jordanian king has changed his his government and is putting in reforms there's another. observation observing you valid observation from the from the nineteenth century by talk through who said the repressive regimes are never so vulnerable as when they start trying to reform and this is very much what's happening in egypt the repressive regime has changed but it's changed to as you said a moment ago we don't know the armies into tunisia we don't know either the king king abdullah of jordan is trying to maintain his throne and maintain stability and we'll see whether he succeeds he and his family have managed to do it for sixty is

king abdullah of saudi arabia is also trying to maintain what is the most repressive regime here and we'll see whether he is able to keep to keep the lead but there is there is it's more a question of what which told me no is not at risk rather than saying where the next one is going to be now i'm i'm running very low on time here but when it comes to the regional unrest whether it's north africa the middle east are these just purely domestic issues can the west have any true role in this or is it used to seeing itself is grossly powerless as the chaos spreads. it does not have a huge amount of power but it has a huge interest in the whole world is a huge interest because most of our oil comes from this area so if things become bad become problematic it's not just a problem for the west it's a problem for china which will see which gets its own from that prevent and the rest of the world so this could have major geopolitical repercussions throughout

the world because of the energy and because of the religious factor if if the islamic radicals take over in some of the countries this doesn't seem likely at the moment but that's always a possibility and religion politics and energy can make a very very explosive mix james wilson professor of international relations of the american university life in iran thank you. well a second plane carrying russians evacuated from libya has now just landed here in moscow it brought back more than a hundred people who describe the situation in the arab country as nightmare they say that on their way to board the aircraft they have to fight through huge crowds of desperate libyans attempting to flee. another plane with russian citizens is on its way back and will land in moscow. well in an interview with r.t. edward luttwak a writer and u.s.

military strategy are said the people of north africa may want democracy but the foundations for it are far from certain place. markers see is not something you come by in a shop it takes centuries of development to go to democracy for example when you. remove. what is not the iraqis because. they remained where they are i believe the conditions of democracy. and the full interview is coming your way in about ten minutes time right here on out. western nations are seeking ways to help conflict stricken north africa and

the middle east but with multi-billion dollar aid deals being discussed some europeans are starting to fear that this will only harm their own economies daniel bushell is in brussels bringing us the latest on this debate and what it could mean for europe as a whole. book club and has all the elements of a perfect storm for many citizens here in the e.u. is the worst possible time to be pumping cash into uncertain regimes what with the economic tensions and the economic problems here in the e.u. at the moment not only in the soft underbelly of europe as we've been seeing in reports this hour but it's richest states as well greece is paralyzed at the moment with a nationwide strike hundreds of thousands of workers have left the job to protest as the recession there goes from bad to worse and more than one in three young people there are a unemployed at the moment interior ministers of solvent e.u. states like italy and spain are meeting to find a way to stop the desperate migrants from north africa the middle east who are

trying to come to the shores trying to battle and stem the flow or find a way of managing itself and angler merkel the chancellor of germany is giving a speech today to say that the financial problems of many of those southern e.u. states will not spread to germany on the one hundred sure but on the other hand of concern the very fact that she has to be saying this speech and the e.u. strongest economy around fifty metres as i was coming to the office today there is a protest at the moment from our arab immigrants calling on the e.u. the e.u. to do much much more to help the new democratic regimes in the new democratic supporters in the middle east and north africa to speak to the residents and citizens of the here as well and they will tell you now is not the time as the country battles on the. he used the whole battle's one of the worst economic crises

it's ever seen now is not the time to be pumping cash to uncertain regimes because more now on this from along the correspondent more of it. in the battle for hearts and minds in the middle east a new front has opened up influential voices from the heart of europe to washington are urging western politicians to take advantage of unrest by pumping involves sums of money in aid to show the newly liberated people of the region that democracy does carry rewards but it's cash that many europeans don't feel they have through the research i don't with well give it a broader many of those search i think we should be close to work on that level i mean obviously they did serve someone they start helping to democracy but we need to be the council room farce that's crazy should probably try and look after was put on hold first before you try to make a transfer of themselves are really at this moment our country is going through these big cuts and that money i think could be used for our own ben it's

the aid package being proposed by e.u. and us leaders is potentially the biggest since the end of the second world war it's being dubbed the new marshall plan after the money that america gave to europe after the war to help rebuild the decimated economy and create jobs but robert oulds from the british group says we should be concentrating on trade not eight countries such as egypt and tunisia and other countries developing nations are hurt their agricultural policies are damaged as a result of the european union's policies we need to have trade policies which stop hurting the third world would stop hurting developing nations and that that would be the better way of securing a long term barassi for countries that are these emerging democracies instead. europe in the us a talking about handing over billions of dollars to the middle

eastern mediterranean to countries torn apart by revolution and on rest and despite the opposition in the u.k. there also you saw him he believe it's the duty of developed countries to help those in trouble with lucky to have a democracy. democracy. i think the middle east needs our help that's going to. question transition that's the moment. to despise our problems are told we can't just close up we have to look at the world we live in but it may not be as simple as that unlike europe after the second world war egypt and. they're developing economies going through revolution and it's very unclear at this point who is going to end up in charge and who would take receipt of any aid package the governments made extensive attempts to build relations build up regimes which now being destroyed by revolutions whether we're looking out over the years

to egypt who are looking out for big deals tony blair was shaking hands on just a few years ago in libya was gadhafi so we need to be really careful particularly when we don't know what the road for the final government will be we don't wind up with resources and so if the muslim brotherhood takes over nature do we want them to be taking over with institutions which we've built up with western taxpayers money westminster has been the scene of ugly demonstrations against government proposals to cut funds to some of the u.k.'s most vital services while some undoubtedly believe it would be a sad day when western countries refused to help build democracy others say it's the wrong help potentially going to the wrong people at the wrong time for a cash strapped euro your average forty. on the way for you shark investor the government uprising in libya will disrupt global supply for most

a local aids center which had been providing iliana with medication told her that they no longer had even a logical serum for her three year old son andree also infected with a deadly virus. they told me that i have to give my people adult ones two hundred eighty and that i have to split each peel into three how can i split it into exactly three parts and how do i know if his body will accept these people late last year several ukrainian regents reported a shortage of immune strengthening drugs used by hiv positive patients experts point the finger at the country's health ministry was that then that of any official say this happened because the beating for the purchase of drugs happened too late not in the summer but in the winter they received funding too late this whole system of buying drugs they tend is corrupt through and through. following this delay in supplies some hiv patients have had to alter their treatment and find

alternative medication doctors say they have no choice but such changes can pose a grave danger. that is when a boy that has got used to one drug we place it with another it took or is another adaptation period we never know whether a patient's body will accept a new drug if it doesn't then they can be different outcomes from a rapid growth of virus else to allergy and even imminent death. experts say ukraine which has one of the highest hiv spread rates in europe can hardly afford to take such risks ukraine's health ministry reports of at least one hundred thousand h.i.v. positive people in the country however experts say this number is diminished and the real amount of the infected may go to three hundred and fifty thousand people. official say for the present the supply crisis has been dealt with. for now all regions have received the required medication the only drugs which are still on

into account the global economic developments they take considerable time so assuming that the situation in the middle east doesn't escalate further significantly we should rather concede there is like a short term problem i should emphasize that so far we haven't seen any even minor disruptions to all supplies to major markets including europe. we had problems in egypt. not withstanding oil shipments through the suez canal were unaffected what we currently see in libya while and rest actually hasn't produced any material impact on crude supplies of oil and gas stocks have had the best of the way kerry and they've benefited they've benefited not just from the rising oil prices but also from speculation in the media that upcoming tax reforms could see them operating under a more favorable regime.
