9:03 pm
now on friday there was must 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 collins coming out of tripoli suggesting that security forces suit protesters to their homes in order to kill him and also that the bodies of the dead have been very very very quickly in order to cover up any atrocities that are taking place there now 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 is favorite son saif these mouthpiece 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
9:04 pm
now this is from the this message from the e.u. they said that they will do the. they will put forward sanctions in coordination with the united nations and the u.s. in order to try to squeeze the get out the regime and freeze their assets but also to freeze the assets of senior figures in the gadhafi government it follows unilateral sanctions that were put forward by the u.s. . the head of the u.n. security council approval of sanctions against believin regime the president of the british praised the arab rulers association. said that such an action amount sounds by as outsiders rather to control the country's future. as it was absolutely meaningless. on libya. and the world community wanted to deal with that we would have at least mentioning my name.
9:05 pm
and his family to be put on trial. against him if he had been threatened right from the outset he personally as opposed to libya because i think what's being a moment is to control the future of libya and libya as a government like we were lift the sanctions if we don't like the sanctions. have been made. in his people who are doing the killing. and journalist in vero at. the british paper being dependent says leaders neighbors could intervene to remove from. the pulitzer continues a few days to weeks but you 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. it's mean you know at least. a few years just. so you people think you're. very strict inclusion
9:06 pm
sure it's. 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 into such a job. prizing in the rear has sparked fears that oil prices are out of control transport and food costs or into with prices approaching one hundred twenty years dollars a barrel this week and this warning of a significant economic spurt of them dress as. explains how the shock waves from turmel are being. a loyal 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.
9:07 pm
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 soaring 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 week we 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 is once again rallied the base and it's spokespeople but perhaps for the wrong reasons and whenever there's a crisis either here at home or abroad it 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
9:08 pm
a barrel if that happens i don't believe that this this particular interruption 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 well he has lifted the moratorium in the gulf for drilling oil . thanks to cast sunstein know all new work permits have been issued permits and backup plans aside what's really going to happen is 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 here by gas prices and this will cause a lot of discomfort to a lot of people who don't need this bad news concerns of violence spreading to
9:09 pm
other oil 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 but at the same time seems to never get built who are our friends and who are our enemies for our tea. and steve levine from foreign policy magazine in these big oil markets are likely to say occurrences any time soon stable produces life are very the i can build up that caused by any disruption in supply the markets have calmed down over the last twenty four hours saudi arabia has gone around and quietly assured everyone we not only can add more volumes to the market but we have. these different that would create a situation in which prices would really skyrocket another country run our client so you've lost a million barrels
9:10 pm
a day it is our run from libya algeria which is also having trouble getting it. that would bring saudi arabia right up to its capacity to to substitute the volume then you would see i'm not sure two hundred twenty i think i was probably. trying to get headlines but maybe one hundred fifty which is still pretty high. we're washing our see uncle clones of the from the south including our weekly snapshot of opinion from the streets of new. middle class are responsible it off for where the economy is that right now now it's it's wall street and bush so the president is on the streets a conference of point out what people think about a tax not in america. we can expand and join our songs as to a london court ruling altering his extradition to sweden all sorts of soft charges saying that baseless and that he won't get
9:11 pm
a trial that after his lawyer and it has been looking at why he is being sent for trial while other foreign citizens want to have brought on far more serious charges have been allowed to stay. wiki leaks founder julian are sol she 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. an old problem brief. what three hundred and sixty thousand dollars bail. why is it. kept. under electronic house arrest. when i have not even been charged in any country he's not the only one asking not particularly as the british government has a history of granting asylum system fairly controversial characters recently the immigration minister admitted one hundred thirty nine suspected war criminals have
9:12 pm
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 are basic tradition relating to asylum is that anybody can come here provided they are loaded provided they got lots of money we will not remain because we want them in with their money therefore and. it's not particularly the russian magnets and all the gods are welcome here. shakes. may have a jew be a criminal record of torture yet they're allowed to swan around london and knightsbridge bayswater wherever since the second world war the u.k. seen only two successful convictions for war crimes and despite recent retrospective laws that allow suspects to be brought to justice in this country according to anti torture campaigners redress so far nothing's been done people
9:13 pm
like that should be investigated by the u.k. police authorities. and if he is fission evidence found for prosecution they should be prosecuted in the e.u. the always of bringing these people to a clamps 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 low on and around forty people wanted by russia alone living here in two thousand and three alleged chechen terrorists. was granted political refuge the same year asylum was granted to russian tycoon police but 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
9:14 pm
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 political interference in the court system here in britain and total hypocrisy from the british justice system while julian are stars looks set to be cast from the safe harbor of the u.k. into choppy waters it's unlikely he'll think for trace just yet he may. 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 so just defense team has vowed to now take his case to the highest courts in the land in the hague good preventing his extradition meanwhile some of the world's nastiest people suspected torture is terrorists and look criminals remain at large in the u.k. under the protection of the states you are and it's altie. so becoming a program for your russian troops is the phrase of the twenty fourth and i'm going to play. the results are in and we now know the mascot for the mascot

strolled as has plunged the country's largest party for eight years into a third place and its worst ever actions of. anger is growing in the us over this super sized tax burden for the middle class it has quickly comes to a head as thousands have been protesting in one northern state over plans to cut public sector workers collective benefits this week obviously i asked people in new york how they feel when they're required to make sacrifices and not the super rich . people across the u.s. are protesting proposed legislation intended to slash benefits for the middle class i they 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 this week's middle class and we say. we work for the
9:20 pm
office and first and friday we work for ourselves at stake 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 and 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 than if it if it seems like so clear cut you why is everyone so in a fit right now where people don't want to give up what they've got work 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
9:21 pm
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. as u.s. top military officials in afghanistan have ordered an investigation into claims that a number. again it spoke a lot to play manipulative visiting high officials rolling stone magazine published how these psychological operations. were used to get more money and troops out of all his military plan to get to this further 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 the american
9:22 pm
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 their psychological operations has been rebranded into the military information support or peroration in essence the whole american global information or to be precise this information campaign remains the same that is the most important and underwood ported hard over these growing and unfolding drama regarding the american general unauthorized psychological operations against its political and military leadership back in washington d.c. .
