a star like that getting the most for those tobacco companies buying crap on the i love that. international news life for most of this is aussie with media lashkar thanks for joining us violence continues to grip libya as opponents of colonel gadhafi his regime face in light of the nation as they demand an end to his forty one who reports just the dictator's forces are all of them civilians go to his regime in the capital tripoli after accounts claimed they also received are removing bodies from the streets and hospitals in a sense to mask the death toll the witnesses say nothing of the thousands have been killed since friday u.s. president barack obama said kentucky has lost his legitimacy as leader after losing violence against his people and must lead the country the last security council comparing to honor reza. functions on absence of development.

it appears that colonel gadhafi is losing his grip on power in the country we're hearing from inside libya that most of the major cities outside of the capital are now under the control almost under the control of anti-government protesters libyan soldiers are joining the protesters defecting away from gadhafi and we're hearing from those same protesters this is a scene repeated in cities across the country now in tripoli the loyalist arming civilians in is setting up roadblocks at the moment it does appear that the capital is quiet most of the residents of tripoli are remaining indoors afraid to go out onto the streets where those checkpoints manned by armed civilians are now on friday there was mass protests in and must violence in tripoli now this followed a address by colonel gadhafi to his followers in the capital this resulted of

protests where shots were fired by security forces at protesters now we're also hearing some very troubling audio comments coming out of tripoli suggesting that security forces pursued protesters to their homes in order to kill him and also that the bodies of the dead have been buried very very quickly in order to cover up any atrocities that are taking place there or the number of dead expected to be well over a thousand in the violence that we've seen in that country on friday as well as a comment from colonel gadhafi favorite son saif his mouth piece if you will to the english speaking media he said that his family will die in tripoli if necessary they will live and die in libya the e.u. have said that they will put forward sanctions in the next week in the coming week now this is from the this message from the e.u. they said that they will do this they will put forward sanctions in coordination with the united. nations on the us in order to try to squeeze the to get off the

regime and freeze their assets but also to freeze the assets of senior figures in the coffee government it follows unilateral sanctions that were put forward by the us as the u. underscores the sanctions against libya the president of the british based arab powers associations. and the french actions were denounced and it sounds to controlling this future. is absolutely meaningless this is imposed on libya. if i move the world community wanting to deal with that they would have at least mentioned in my name and have taken steps to threaten. his family to be put on trial to. action against him if he had been threatened right from the outset he personally as opposed to did it because i think what's being moment is to control the future of libya so libya has

a government we like we were lift the sanctions if we don't like the sanctions but not as the level. president have been made so he shows and his people who are doing the killing. and journalistic in the barrel of former deputy editor of the british paper the independence as leaders neighbors could intervene to remove from power he does say very popular chip continues if the days to loosen weeks i do think there is a case where it's possible that we might look to some of its arab neighbors to see if it's possible to come in there is very little army there it's mainly the police are the main power and if he is just holed up in this season where people think you know it was for you very strict incursion security and goofy gyptian army they are no seen as people who play a pivotal role in getting rid of mubarak and they would be treated i

think if they came in to try and get rid of there is a possibility that they would be seen as a very very friendly force to come and do such a job. the uprising in libya has sparked fears that oil prices could spiral out of control sending transport and food costs soaring thing with prices approaching one hundred twenty dollars a barrel this week and as the ward of a significant economic threat of the spread you never saw such strains how the shock waves come out. of nowhere. boil three little letters. that could have dire consequences on any economy and here in the united states or oil is sometimes also accompanied by three big words drill baby drill drill. and with those three words you got yourself a political entrenched power house will drill new wells sure it will drill and the crisis in the middle east has only inflamed so what we have now are storing

gas prices and fears of a relapse in the already weak economic recovery and on the heels of the unrest crude is heading for the biggest weekly increase in two years and when oil prices soar the price of food also skyrocket and so a vicious cycle begins for many americans a reality that has once again it rallied the base and its spokespeople but perhaps for the wrong reasons and whenever there's a crisis either here at home or abroad it's usually exploited politically by the government or the media it loves to hate khadafi is now threatening to burn up the oil fields experts are predicting a worst case scenario of two hundred twenty dollars a barrel. if that happens i don't believe that this this particular eruption of oil supplies will last very long so if you're trying to tie drilling off shore with what's happening in libya i think it's a bit of a stretch

a stretch that some are all too willing to make the oil fields are on fire and we have no backup plan while he has lifted the moratorium in the gulf for drilling oil thanks to cast sunstein no new permits have been issued but permits and backup plans aside what's really going to happen in an already ravaged economy where we see this in the middle east. and this in our very own midwest. so the last thing you need is the people who are. in the worst economic shape are the first ones to get hit by gas prices and this will cause a lot of discomfort come a lot of people who don't need this bad news concerns of violence spreading to other well producing nations in the region have been overshadowed and instead of asking how americans will cope with this are asking the question that never gets answered and at the same time seems to never get old who are our friends who are

our enemies for our tea. steve living from foreign policy magazine believes the oil markets are likely to see a crisis any time soon so unstable produces life saudi arabia can feel the ground course i mean disruption in supply. the markets have been calm down over the last twenty four hours saudi arabia has gone around and rightly assured everyone we now i've only can add more volumes to the market but we have these the point the difference that would create a situation in which prices would really skyrocket because we have another country right now once you've lost a million barrels a day it is our run from libya you have algeria which is also having trouble if it goes up front that would bring saudi arabia right up to its capacity to to

substitute the volume's then you would see i'm not sure two hundred twenty i think that's probably and trying to get headlines but but maybe one hundred fifty which is still pretty high i have got plenty to come this hour including our weekly snapshot of opinion from the streets of new york middle class sponsible that are or where the economy is that right mt now it's called st and bush. so their president is on the streets of clapham to find out what people think about the turks none of them are. we can sound a juvenile son just to appeal in london court ruling ordering his extradition to sweden on sex assault charges saying that baseless and that he won't get a fair trial that also has a lawyer about has been making us why he's going sense for trial while other foreign citizens want a broader far more serious charges to strong britain. wiki leaks founder julian

assange learns the court has ordered his extradition to sweden to face questions over rape allegations and he's got some interesting questions of his own why is it . that i am started. a nonprofit brief. when three hundred and fifty thousand dollars bail. why is it that i am kept. under electronic house arrest. when i have not even been charged in any country he's not the only one asking that particularly as the british government has a history of saying asylum system fairly controversial parrott says recently the immigration minister admitted one hundred thirty nine suspected war criminals have been given the right to settle in britain permanently that thought to include former henchmen of saddam hussein an afghan official who tortured prisoners and rwandan genocide perpetrators basic tradition relating to asylum is that anybody

can come here provided they are loaded provided they got lots of money we will let them in because we want them in with their money and therefore it's not particularly the russian magnets and i only got so welcome here howard shakes. my have a jew b.s. criminal record as it were of torture yet they're allowed just swung around london annoyed spirit by its water where ever since the second world war the u.k. seen only two successful convictions for war crimes and despite recent retrospective laws this allows suspects to be brought to justice in this country according to anti torture campaigners redress so far nothing's been done people like that should be investigated boy the u.k. and his authorities. and if this fish in evidence found for prosecution. should be prosecuted in the you always agreeing these people to it can't these suspects

but it seems very little is being done the list of the rich and powerful on interpol's wanted list resident in the u.k. is long and around people wanted by russia alone and living here in two thousand and three alleged chechen terrorists. was granted political refuge the same year asylum was granted to russian tycoon but he still is not ski convicted of embezzlement in russia it shows here the hypocrisy of the british courts. he is quite clearly been involved in the math here over the years all sorts of very serious offenses which he may actually quite literally equate with terrorism and yet he is not being extradited and yet we see here what appears to be anyway a trumped up charge of rape which hasn't actually even come to charges in sweden this certainly does appear to show a latent political interference in the court system here in britain and total

hypocrisy from the british justice system well today in our stars looks set to be cast from the safe harbor of the u.k. into choppy waters it's unlikely he'll sink from trace just yet he may not have billions in the bank to buy himself out of trouble so he'll just have to hate his friends in high places have influence passengers defense team has vowed to now take his case to the highest courts in the land in the hague of preventing his extradition meanwhile some of the world's nastiest people suspected torture is terrorists and war criminals remain at large in the u.k. under the protection of the state's your average r.t. counted. as a kind of program russia chooses the face of the twenty four thousand on the grounds. the results are in and we now know the nascar or the mascots who will be represented in russia in the twenty fourteen olympic games coming up we'll tell you all about. police in russia's southern republic of korea have blocked

all the roads after a series of violent attacks in the capital now trick their forces are now saying this information is under control of his her son and her choice brings us the latest from the region of the crisis. we're here at the back of the gas station that was attacked early on saturday morning armed gunmen reportedly shot at the station and a deadly blast was prevented only thanks to the fire crews arrival this follows a series of similar militant attacks here in the capital of russia's republic of korea just a few hours earlier that could have resulted in a major bloodshed after twelve people soon all tell you honestly attacked several locations including a traffic police pose and the efforts of federal forces but the plans to cause havoc in that shoot have clearly failed the fact that people no fatalities and just one policeman injured shows that there has been a turnaround from the last week's dramatic events in the quality child republic gruesome attack on

government demonstrators are saying the new your forces don't depart from the previous government of former president ben ali who was ousted in a january revolt that has sparked similar protests in other countries in the middle east and north. and alan's ruling party if you know who is heading for crushing defeat in the country's first general election since two thousand and seven counting in the way it's a center right thing that gail will lead a new coalition government with the left of center labor party irish voters have punished been a vote for wage cuts tax hikes and lot of the national sovereignty after last year's sixty seven billion euro bailout from do you have it as a national from asia transferring huge banking to its own to the public show was the spanish the country's largest party for n.g.o.s into a third place and its was election defeat. and it's growing in the

u.s. over the supersized times but until the middle class is quickly common to. have as one thousands have been protesting in one northern state over plans to cut public sector workers collective benefits and this week are really knew how they feel when they're required to make sacrifices a noticeable rate. people across the us are protesting proposed legislation intended to slash benefits for the middle class by the really protesting the fact that every day people are being asked to make sacrifices while wall streeters continue to profit even more this week let's talk about that i'm a member of the squeezed middle class and we say. we work for the altos and first then friday we work for ourselves but state that's do you think that people in the middle class are responsible at all for where the economy is

that right now you know it's it's wall street and bush. so why isn't wall street paying more and why aren't they being asked to contribute more to health plans because the government would prefer to buy their pay a muffin and bailing out the upper class probably pays ninety percent of the taxes or more in new york city and new york state it's probably the same thing in wisconsin i don't know the numbers but i think everybody's paying for it paying to keep the government moving so why are there isn't one riles up bad if it if it seems like so clear cut to you why is everyone so in a fit right now where people don't want to give up what they've got we're not for the news coverage and or the social media and i'm not saying it's bad but we're not for the that type of coverage. we it would not be neither of these things either the middle east things or the things going on with the states would be quite as

hard as they are no matter who you think should be paying for the distressed economy the bottom line is that if you ask the middle class to relinquish benefits it's only fair to ask the same of the upper class as well. u.s. military officials in afghanistan who. that's an american army unit thank you don't usually manipulated the visiting high souls rolling stone magazine published how these psychological operations. were used to get more money and troops for their war also with military contributors as they spread it reveals just how much the u.s. operation in afghanistan is being hidden from the public inadvertently these latest revelations about the psyops scandal in afghanistan regarding their american leadership back in washington d.c. has also revealed their hypocrisy regarding the public coverage of the american

occupation in afghanistan just by the fact that half a year ago this psychological operations has been rebranded into the military information supporter peroration in essence the whole american global information war to be precise this information campaign remains the same this is the most important and under with forty eight hard old this is growing and unfolding drama regarding their american general unauthorized psychological operations against its political and military leadership back in washington d.c. . if. it is easy to.

download the official allocation chobani phone call from the. video. feeds. on the call. russians have cars that choose them so she turns across in winter olympics mascot thomas has been falling apart with some unexpected results we now know the official mascot or in this case the official mascots of the

twenty fourteen olympic games in sochi in fact the snow leopard has won the majority of the vote so he is the clear winner that was also blood in your putin's favorite but also the polar bear came in second and also added back the rabbit came in third so we now have three mascots who will be representing at the winter olympic games in two thousand and fourteen in sochi as we know this was a process where the mascot was designed by the people of russia and it was voted on by the people of russia as well so of course the snow leopard coming in first becoming the mascot the symbol of the twenty fourteen olympic games and what that means is is that the winner of the actual winning mascot will become the property of the olympic committee the international olympic committee that symbol will go on merchandising it will become not just a symbol of the olympic games but it will become a symbol of russia as well and people internationally will become to identify this

character as part of the olympic games and as part of russia's heritage and culture but meets retraces just a little bit and tell you how this whole process went about six months ago the russian winter olympic committee said that they're going to open up a contest they're going to have the next mascot to be designed by russians for russians and chosen by russians once that contest was announced six months ago. all sorts of fun and fanciful ideas that came out of the woodwork children were a big part of it they got involved in the race all sorts of different mascots and ideas were thrown out there in fact some of the ideas that were thrown out almost immediately was a skiing shot glass that was one idea and there's also one idea to gain some popularity a psychedelic toad if you will. but all of the massive massive amounts of entries that came in those were narrowed down by a committee of celebrities politicians as well as entrepreneurs who brought it down to this this is a very small group this top ten group at that point in time an internet voting

began and it was basically put to the russian public to say who do we want to be the next mascot to represent us in the twenty forty games now we also remember mischa the bear from the one nine hundred eighty s. and this was a very important character as well so now our snow leopard will join this this historical group of characters now also we have the fire boy and snow girl they are also have been chosen to be the mascots of the para olympic games and so important night tonight as the mascots are chosen and now russia knows who will represent them in twenty fourteen. and that wraps up a nice person here and i'll see the headline shortly.
