anti-government protesters in libya build up their forces for a final assault on the capital one of the last parts of that country still held by the struggling leader of colonel gadhafi. the other nations scramble to evacuate their citizens from troubled libya but while most ex-pats are eager to get out some all reluctant to leave behind a live use of. oil is the most valuable resource on the planet today and who controls that is extremely important unrest in the oil rich area and pushes fuel prices up with convictions the u.s. might intervene to stop its own economy from skidding into trouble. as britain's prepare to tell all in a national sense is there is deep concern that the u.s.

term for liking the information please show their dads who were american intelligence by. four pm in moscow why match reza good to have you with us here on r t our top story opposition forces in libya are in circling the capital preparing for a final assault on tripoli which is still held by the country's embattled leader protesters have already wrested control of most of the country to try and force colonel moammar gadhafi to go and u.n. is issued a resolution referring to the international criminal court for war crimes following almost two weeks of bloody crackdowns but experts say the investigation is likely to lift the lid on strengthening friendships with western countries he tells that neither washington nor london may want to see in the open like he's correspondent

in the wings peter all of that has more from iraq and the current front line in the battle between. opposition forces and those soldiers still loyal to colonel gadhafi is the city of zawiya the mono that surround fifty kilometers to the west of the campus or tripoli the opposition in control of the majority of the city of volatility of the country if not all of its their headquarters based out of thing garvey a second city in libya in the east of the country now that fighting is conti has continued we are hearing a piece in tripoli at the moment why if there is armed militias control checkpoints on the streets we can hear from said he loved the role of the russian foreign ministry here dress the u.n. human rights council he can't demba violence in libya and said that the country should be allowed to determine its own future was so we're pretty useless there on the mass protests across the middle east and north african countries and exposed a range of problems that have piled up for decades first of all poverty

unemployment and then go into each social and economic rights in general these problems should be addressed by the people of defective countries without any coercion or external interference the use of military force against civilians is unacceptable in libya because hundreds of civilian deaths russia condemned such violence demands its immediate cessation and there germans of international humanitarian law on saturday the united nations in poland sanctions up on the gadhafi regime these included a travel ban the freezing of assets of goods our fee and his family and close associates as well as an arms embargo also included in those sanctions was the referral of colonel gadhafi to the international criminal court in the hague now this is caused some experts to to look back twice at this and what could come out of those investigation should get daffy or any of his so she has testified out of the court in the hague now over the past few the past decades the gadhafi has been

in power in libya he's been something. a pariah especially to washington and to london however in recent years we have seen this rehabilitation of get our feet in the west among western governments we've seen him used as an ally in the area. during the iraq war we've also seen contracts for arms deals and also oil deal struck between western countries and libya so if anybody does appear before the hague on trial for crimes against humanity for what has happened during this violence in libya will be very interesting to see what comes out of those investigations i think the americans and i don't know people like tony blair would be very very frightened of nicolas sarkozy or mr berlusconi of italy would be quite frightened about an i.c.c. trial because then then we could have the regime and the people that are still supporting him in tripoli but in their bunkers will be able to tell the stories

about everything from could be. american and british arms companies were involved in keeping up that regime and they'll have a string of e-mail that have an e-mail trail i don't think the americans or in london or brussels would very much want that to come out in court the international red cross of described the border between cheney's here and libya as a humanitarian crisis forty thousand people cross that border fleeing from violence in libya in the last week alone now around one hundred thousand people are estimated by the u.n. to have fled libya in total some coming here to egypt where i am going to order elsewhere many countries around the world trying to get their citizens out of libya people from all over the world working in the north african country many countries already removing all of their citizens russia's sense of plane in order to remove russian citizens to evacuate russian citizens from the libyan capital in my

colleagues on a boy went alone to find out firsthand just what they've been through in the. it's been going on in the country propelled by fear held back by dowd mayo those who boarded the last russian emergency plane from libya didn't want to leave but then decided that are saved and story a subcontractor for gas from alexy says he never cared much about they've been politics that is until arguments replaced by grant's it's. dangerous because. the press is it's people. just don't have the responsibility. it. doesn't work. for years it was

a mantra for many foreign companies ignore gaffers quirks and you'll be rewarded in oil revenues that is the levy a sleeps closer to civil war based logic no longer seems bulletproof yet even on the russian plane there are some grim projections for blown out of proportion and you know who's worked in league as a nurse for twenty years sas sure already regrets the decision to flee i took all those reports by al jazeera and all the arab language channels calls she a penny come on the people new bodies attack an entry probably there is no shooting yesterday i could easily go to see my friends all the young people supporting gaddafi hospitals are working as usual as all the people then so good for the everything functions people want to leave as they can here with the country awash with firearms the current law and violence increasingly looks like a calm before the storm that's why tripoli airport is now be easier than ever with

a country scrambling to call this it is a. oh my god after is known to product itself on being a shrewd negotiator result even in the way the evacuation of foreign nationals has been carried out over the past week the government before servicing planes at the tripoli airport has more than tripled to more than eight hundred thousand dollars per plane considering that ex-pats used to make about twenty percent of the country's labor force but privately beer is proving to be a very good source of cash with less than two thousand of its residents caught up in their unrest russia managed the evacuation fairly easily other countries didn't fare that well the gyptian uprising may have and scores leave bins but it also left thousands of egyptian guest workers stranded at tripoli airport with very little if any assistance from their state a few years ago many countries raise to leave in whose all reserves of the biggest

in africa are now days even more frantically if they're trying to get out the deuce fleeing the violence see it's just a matter of time before they'll be back at some of our sea tripoli. with oil prices reaching new highs due to the arab uprisings it's thought this could be just the start of a bumpy ride surging fuel costs in the u.s. are threatening to derail the country's recovery as artie's laura lister reports the political price they've been too high for the obama administration. tunisia. egypt. the hurricane. algeria. libya protests in countries seeming to fuel one another unrest spreading like wildfire through the mideast and north africa only raging in or near rich

countries that helped fuel the world's use of more than eighty four million barrels of crude a day. uncertainty over production has sent prices soaring i mean the shock waves from the middle east turmoil are being felt worldwide oil is the most valuable resource on the planet today controls. extremely bored and now the mideast crisis is hitting home for outrage americans as oil prices have skyrocketed so too have the prices people pay for gasoline and now the price americans pay at the pump is threatening to derail the u.s. economic recovery a surge in oil. prices will be the end of the u.s. economy not just in the recovery there's no more bailouts like a reality peak oil expert michael c. a group or a c. is happening at oriel hits one hundred fifty dollars a barrel which he believes is inevitable this year others predicted going to two

hundred twenty dollars it's so devastating because oil. fuels more than just cars. it fuels the entire global economy. though there's no doubt that if gas goes to five dollars a gallon for americans. asked some predict there would be a high political price to pay for the obama administration you know a gasoline prices go up to much and for a very long period it could be severe. your political impact here there is no denying the u.s. has played a role in the events that have transpired in the middle east every time u.s. president barack obama went to the podium calling for this that there must be reform political social and economic reforms that meet the aspirations of the egyptian people and calling for egyptian president hosni mubarak's resignation he

was calling for an end to the status quo which means a right and certainty and rich region so did leaders weigh the toll it could take on their own economy some argue they don't have the power to kind of waning back up trying to push their back against an avalanche and i don't think we're going to hear a lot of success and that may not stop the u.s. from trying to take control some observers believe the u.s. may intervene militarily in libya where oil reserves are massive under false pretenses of helping protesting people has nothing to do with interest the people it has everything to do with the interest of the u.s. . oil corporations military corporate profits if the way analysts say the price of fuel going up will simply fuel public rage and the government is largely helpless the american people are going for a very nasty ride and there's no way out of it now but i can tell you the government understands that it's time lauren mr r.t.

new york. letter here on our team crosstalk asks how much longer the u.s. will sit on the sidelines desirable governments on arrival host piro bell and his guests get to grips with whether america has the means to get involved and what might trigger it into action rocky. program at four pm g.m.t. here's a preview. there is no neutrality in washington ok we will be looking at all barak start out if you're going to get a lot of tension that you could get walking to try to control events on the ground in the middle east and that's probably of certainly there's no way we could i mean it's so chaotic it's so little they believe in these early central i mean there was a man that the cia is calling the shots here really defies description i mean i don't think america is necessarily doing if you're already on their side and little league as we know you're not up to speed on the latest techniques your your view is going to look at all the revolution in. your words when was your or tripoli and you can realize this is not being dictated by washington.

if you want to. the people of britain are about to get probed about who they are and how they live with the latest nationwide census just around the corner but there is a fear over who would get to see the sensitive information they tell about themselves because a controversial u.s. defense for me is in charge of collecting the data artie's war and it has more from london. since his time in the u.k. when every household in the country is to provide detailed information about their lives to the government say they can keep track of what's going on and who will be in charge of this sensitive data. yes it's controversial us arms manufacturers he said and the campaign is ranging

from religious groups to peace activists to data protection law. states on ethical grounds play on a number of oppressive regimes they work so. the us heavily in the wars they full of chain iraq and afghanistan. opposed by the majority of people in britain even if supported by the british government hill vows to boycott the census despite the risk of prosecution he says he won't be alone look he'd makes land mines and nuclear weapons and contracts out interrogation of guantanamo bay although it will be the u.k. arm that carries out the survey there's still a worry that the information could fall under the auspices of the us patriot act which compels personal data held by any company on systems in the us to be made available to government intelligence the office for national statistics which in lockheed martin maintains it's taken measures to make sure u.s. authorities can't access the data. well dr process and will be carried out in the

u.k. leave will be held at any point outside the u.k. no lockheed martin staff will have access to any personal census data all data is the property of and only u.k. e.u. owned companies will have any access to personal census data but it's that last point that's raise red flags for data protection lobbyists who say that all the private information collected during the census will be available to practically any organization that requests it i only use it on the any statute. any use by the security or intelligence services for national security purposes any use for the pursuit of private any use in pursuit of an e.u. community or placation so any e.u. rules that information can be passed over so it's essentially any government use whatsoever the competition house is being abolished and u.k.

government agencies don't exactly have a great track record when it comes to safeguarding information three years ago a file containing secret terror related documents was left on a train more recently the national health service lost the medical records of tens of thousands of people thanks to lockheed martin's involvement in the census it would be hard for the u.s. authorities to lay their hands on that information if they wanted a tip in the said says it is used by the government to award grants to local councils and recognize new groups in society the census is run by lockheed martin raises grave concerns in britain about ethics and its national security if a lot of people boycott this that says it will make it ineffective and a waste of money but the two hundred forty million dollar contracts amount will go into looking at martin's pocket anyway for your avatar three hundred. as we take a look at performing the new. on the patients know that you can produce health so

that let's not have the same this is around ten. to the caviar and the time an innovative approach by russian sturgeon breeders could see the high end delicacy make a comeback of the middle class dinner table. there in the first us and other stories making headlines across the globe the people of chile have been marking a year since a massive earthquake killed more than five hundred people have left hundreds of thousands homeless the country's president led commemorations in a town that was all but destroyed by the quake approach has happened accusing the government of being too slow with rebuilding the shattered communities nearly half of the damaged properties remain and habitable but repairs are being dogged by bureaucratic hold ups. british security guard has been said mr twenty years in prison for murdering chimp colleagues while working in iraq many fitzsimmons shot the man dead during

a drunken brawl in baghdad he's the first wedding westerner convicted in a rocky court since the two thousand and three invasion his follows a deal between baghdad and washington that allows iraqi authorities to prosecute foreign contractors who violate the country's nerves. in the hollywood news the eighty third oscars in los angeles the king's speech reign supreme gathered for academy awards including best actor for karl inderfurth portrayal of king george the sixth natalie portman won best actress for her performance as a troubled ballerina in black swan her biggest rival was the social network the story of facebook's inception three statuettes. russian black caviar producers hope to ship more than two tons of the delicacy to the european union this year and it could soon become more affordable because russian scientists have found a way to harvest the eggs without killing the sturgeon that means families could be enjoying caviar without breaking the bank. this is the new klondike home to black

gold caviar limited supplies and time consuming production of yuri's delicacy is one of the most expensive foods on the planet however that may soon be a thing of the past. here we have baxter a hybrid between the luger and sturgeon a beautiful fish but also a harley and very productive. igor bortz of has been working with sturgeon his whole life and even has a species named after him thanks to special living conditions he created his fish much or three times faster than in the wild so they caviar can be farmed all year round. here this is all carvey or in the belly it's full of it. what's is also behind the union can make to harvest the row without killing the fish rather than being cold like elsewhere in the world the female fish is in the best called milked gently and harmlessly each time a fish is milked it can produce up to

a quarter of its weight in paddy are say this specimen is about ten kilos so up to two now heroes of paddy are every time they approach their own makes caviar more accessible but also helps preserve this increasingly scars read all beautiful things once russia had about ninety percent of the world's stock of sturgeon but by the turn of the century while sturgeon were close to extinction and poachers were running the show to preserve what was left russia first hold a commercial harvesting in two thousand and two and then banned the sale of sturgeon and black caviar all together poaching escalated and so did the prices now the country is trying to return to the heavy days of soviet carrie i abundance this is the largest in russia it boasts artesian water organic fish food and even spar treatments for its inhabitants the head of this raises says it all leads to one

inescapable fact the e.q. and nonprofessional consumer will hardly be able to tell the difference between the wild and the farm caviar in fact you can only tasters and if it tastes good that means it has been farmed however most experts agree that demand well always outstrip supply and although black caviar may get cheaper it will never be cheap dairy pushed over party and sco r.t. dark right now there is more of the day's news and analysis let's take you through some awards lined up on our website. in the file this robbery for america's retiring fettled but we'll look at how the future in the world into the future and how u.s. space program will develop with a helping hand from russia. also take a look at the russian special forces being put through their praises the pace of the during winter training it's an art gallery section and always stay in touch with us too by checking out our principles page and our twitter. account.
