a political resolution to the country's difficulties and announced the violence in which over thousand have died in the last which began about. conference can sound of a stunning developments from. 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 or almost under the control of anti-government protesters libyan soldiers are joining the protesters defecting away from its afy and we're hearing from those protests the same protesters but this is a scene repeated in cities across the country now in tripoli gadhafi loyalists arming civilians in they're 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 and must violence in tripoli now this

followed a address by colonel gadhafi to his followers in the capital. this resulted in a protest where shots were fired by security forces at protesters now we're also hearing some very troubling or geo comments coming out of tripoli suggesting that security forces will 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 have taken place there now the number of dead expected to be well over a thousand in the violence that we've seen in that country now on friday as well as a comment from kind of good at least 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 now the e.u. have said that they will go 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 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 us. the head of the un security council approval sanctions against the libyan regime the president of the british post arab lawyers association several times said that such action would amount to an attempt by servants to control the country's future for sanctions. is absolutely meaningless this is imposed on libya. the world community wanted to deal with that we would have at least mentioning my name would have. slugs and 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 libya because i think what's being a moment is to control the future of libya. as a government we like we will lift the sanctions if we don't like the sanctions. that he's. rested have been made so he and his people who are doing the killing. and journalist in barrow are full of examples that so the british paper things and says leaders neighbors could intervene to remove kind of the traffic from pound. because. it continues if the days turn into 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 it's mainly the police. and he is just holed up in this as he's aware people think he has. very swift

incursions killer of the gyptian army they are low seen as people who claim that all role in getting rid of mubarak and who would be treated i think if they came in to try to get rid of gadhafi there is a possibility that they would be seen as a very very friendly force to come and do such a job and they are rising in the beer has a part of the price of a pile out of control sending transport food costs soaring to with prices approaching one hundred twenty years dollars a barrel this week and that's one of the significant economic threat of the rest spread of this ask explains how the shock wave arabs are being felt in those arrests. well we'll three little letters. that could have dire consequences on any economy and here in the united states will is sometimes also accompanied by three big words drill baby drill in training and with those three

words you got yourself a politically entrenched powerhouse will drill new wells are 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 skyrockets and so a vicious cycle begins for many americans a reality that is once again rally the base and it's spokes people perhaps for the wrong reasons and whenever there's a crisis either here at home or abroad it's usually exploited politically i have government or the media it loves to hate gadhafi 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 interruption of

oil supplies will last very long so if you're trying to tie drilling offshore 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 is lifted the moratorium in the gulf for drilling oil thanks to cass sunstein no new permits have been issued but permits and backup plans aside what's really going to happen in an already ravaged economy are 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 to a lot of people who don't need this bad news in terms 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 never gets answered but at the same time seems to forget who are our friends who are our enemies for our tea dina kosofsky and steve levin of from foreign policy magazine believes the oil market is unlikely to see a crisis anytime soon so stable producers like saudi arabia can fill the gap calls for any 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 not only can add more volumes to the market but we have out. the difference that would create a situation in which prices would really skyrocket if you have another country when our clients say you've lost a million barrels a day it is our right and from libya you have algeria which is also having trouble

getting its girls up front that would bring saudi arabia right up to its capacity to to substitute the volume then you would see i'm not sure to hundred twenty i think there's probably and trying to get headlines but but maybe one hundred fifty which is still pretty high we're watching r.t. and we've got plenty to come this hour including our weekly snapshot of opinion from the streets of new york middle class are responsible at all for where the economy is that right now now it's it's wall street and bush. so the resident isn't is on the streets of gaza and to find out what people think about they are there. we can expand the juden our sound is to a london court ruling ordering his extradition to sweden on sex assault charges priceless to arms basis rather and that he won't get a fair trial that he is a lawyer and this has been little why his balls turned to

a trial where other foreign citizens want to the one son morsi who is charges have been allowed to stay. 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 subject. to nonprofit activity two or three hundred and sixty thousand dollars bail. why is it that i am. 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 criminals have been given the right to settle in britain permanently 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 i've got lots of money we will let me because we want them in with their money and therefore it's not particularly the russian magnets and all the gods are welcome here out of shakes who may have a jew be a criminal record as it were of torture yet they're allowed just want to round london and not scrooge but it's water where ever 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 like that should be investigated by the u.k.

police authorities. and if the fish in evidence found for prosecution. they should be prosecuted in the u.k. we always are bringing these people to accomplish these suspects but it seems very little is being done the list of the rich and powerful on interpol's wanted list president in the u.k. is low on and around forty people wanted by russia alone a living here in two thousand and three a lead chechen terrorists. was granted political refuge the same year asylum was granted to russian tycoon parties 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 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 stage harbor of the u.k. into choppy waters it's unlikely he'll think for ptrace 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 my son just defense team has vowed to now take his case to the highest courts in the land in the hague preventing his extradition meanwhile some of the world's nastiest people suspected torturers terrorists and war criminals remain at large in the u.k. under the protection of the states and its r.t. . still to come on the program russia chooses the phrase of the twenty fourteen and . the results are in and we now know the mascot or the mascot who

will be representing russia in the twenty fourteen olympic games coming up we'll tell you all about. police in russia's sudden republic of guardian of all carry have blocked all the roads after a series of violent attacks in the capital now chik fil thought either now it's a in the situation is under control or he's absolutely had sure brings as the latest from the region in the caucasus. 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 all this time still the fire crews quickly rival 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 small tenuously attacked several locations including traffic police prose and the office of federal forces but the plans to cause havoc in have clearly failed before we know fatalities and just one policeman

injured shows that there has been a turnaround from the last week's dramatic events in the volatile group probably most of the time going to rest many of us last saturday left three people dead and two injured from the cells a cable tower it is skill leaves in a resort was blown up and home tells in the villages nearby a group back he waited when a car bomb was discovered earlier incidents forced the story just to close an anti terror operation on the region in that time anti terrorist forces have already catered of days with work on supplies and the makeshift explosive device now but as you know kyra lies in the well a trial north caucasus police says the islamist terrorist operation in the region could be behind the latest attacks some experts say the way they were carried out heat in several locations at the same time follows the pattern used by islamists operating internationally. let's now have a look at some other major headlines from around the world the toll from the quake

struck new zealand on tuesday has risen to one hundred forty five with another two hundred still missing because wouldn't be chances of finding any more survivors under the rubble in cars churches and that was the focus of the trying to restore power and be off the mark with my b.b. country's worst ever disaster meter also high alert with the pope of nations. winnings there maybe more tremors to come. one of them is most prominent tribal chiefs has resigned from the ruling party and joined the opposition in demanding u.s. backed president ali abdullah saleh stands down the death toll has now reached at least twenty four since daily antigovernment protests started over a week ago against the leader thirty get rule at the tribal leaders have also been abandoning the dictator listening his grip on power tens of thousands of loyalists and opponents of the sixty eight year old president while demonstrations in the congress all signed on friday. in tunisia at least two people have been killed in

fresh clashes between protesters and police violence erupted after several hundred people gathered outside the interior ministry demanding changes to the interim government demonstrators are saying big new also his don't want to get from the previous government of former president ben ali he was ousted and they join in a general revolt that has sparked similar projects and other countries in the middle east and north africa. and olens ruling party if we look all is heading for a crushing defeat in the country's cause general election since two thousand and seven counting underway indicates the center right been a gala leading new coalition government with the left of center labor party irish voters have punished beautiful wage cuts tax tax hikes and loss of financial sovereignty out a last year sixty seven billion euro bailout from the e.u. and used as a nation as a national humiliation transferring huge bank and on to the public stronger as has plunged the country's largest party for eight years into its into two third place

in its worst ever election defeat. i was growing in the us so it is super size tanks but and for the middle class it has quickly come to a head as thousands have been protesting and one northern state over plans to cut public sector workers collective benefits and they tweak the also people in new york how they feel when they're required to make sacrifices and not this of the rich. people across the u.s. are protesting proposed legislation intended to slash benefits for the middle class and the really protesting the fact that everyday people are being asked to make sacrifices last readers 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 office and first same friday for ourselves that's think that's do you think that

people in the middle class are responsible at all for worth it connelly's that right now you know it's it's wall street and bush. so why isn't wall street paying more why aren't they being asked to contribute more to health plans because the government would prefer to buy their pay em up and 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 that 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 were it 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 hot

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 have ordered an investigation into claims that an . american army units can don't actually manipulate visiting high officials rolling stone magazine published how these psychological operations styles were used to get more money and troops to the rule also of military contributed if he said this but it reveals just how much the u.s. operation in afghanistan is being hidden from the public and advertently these latest revelations about the psyops scandal you know afghanistan regarding the american leadership back in washington d.c.

has also revealed their hypocrisy regarding their public coverage of the american occupation you know again instead despite the fact that half a year ago this 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 under reported part of this is growing and unfolding drama regarding their american general unauthorized psychological operations against its political and military leadership back in washington d.c. . elite.

the official allocation jong un called talk from the. mind. on the call to come. or russians have called buzz the chairs the social trends and also went silent thanks mascot also was hard thomas has been following the pilot with some unexpected first out. 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 to me a putin's favorite but also the polar bear came in second and also after that 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 here 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 actually 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 there was also one idea to gain some popularity a psychedelic toad if you will but. massive massive amounts of entries that came in those were narrowed down by a committee of celebrities politicians as as well. the producers who brought it

down to this it 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 fourteen games now we also remember me should have air from the one nine hundred eighty s. that 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 two thousand and fourteen. well you're up to date on the back of the headlines.
