11:07 am
years he had seen a a rehabilitation almost among western governments and some experts are warning that there could be some embarrassing details for these governments that could come out should anybody appear on the stand in the hague. 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 get our fear regime and the people that are still supporting him in tripoli in their bunkers will be able to tell all the stories about everything from lockerbie to how american and british companies were involved in propping up that regime and the level of string of e-mail that have an e-mail trail i don't think the americans or none dinora brussels would very much want that to come out in court you. well any investigation into what has been going on in

11:15 am
a very long period and it could very severe. your political impact if 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 rise in uncertainty in the 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 winning back up drug or push their back against an avalanche and i don't think we're going to have a lot of success that may not stop the u.s. from trying to take control some observers believe the u.s. may intervene militarily in libya or oil reserves are massive under false pretenses
11:16 am
of helping protesting people has nothing to do with interest. it has everything to do with the interest of the us corporate oil corporations military corporations profit even way analysts say the price of fuel going uk 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 lyster r.t. new york. for more on the impact on oil prices from repercussions in arab nations in our business update coming your way in about ten minutes later peter asks his gas on cross talk if the thirst for a fuel is becoming strong enough for the u.s. to finally step in here's a quick look at what's coming your way and less than a quarter hour. there is no neutrality of washington ok please we.
11:17 am
start you off if you look a little tension that that was for you to try to control events on the ground in the middle east and that's patently absurd i mean there's no way we could i mean it's not so chaotic it's so little i believe it is only the way we go down central let me there was a man we know that the cia is calling the shots it really defies description i mean i don't think america is necessarily doing if you're a minority on this and little league is my you're not up to speed on the latest i mean all your view is going to look at all the revolutionists your daughter was younger ozzy or wrote tripoli and you can realize this is not being dictated by washington. turning to other news here on our t.v. 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's
11:18 am
a fear over who gets to see the sensitive information they'll tell about themselves that's because a controversial u.s. defense contractor is in charge of collecting the data as artie's laura and explains. it's census time in the u.k. when every household in the country is asked to provide detailed information about their lives to the government so they can keep track of what's going on and who will be in charge of this sensitive data. yes it's controversial u.s. arms manufacturers lockheed martin and campaigners ranging from religious groups to peace activists to data protection lobbyists are really against it on ethical grounds. of oppressive regimes but also. for us heavily in the wars they fought in iraq and afghanistan opposed by the majority of people in britain even if supported by the british government hill vows to boycott the census
11:19 am
despite the risk of prosecution he says he won't be alone look lead makes land mines and nuclear weapons and contracts out interrogation to quantize. although it will be the u.k. on 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 gauged lucky martin maintains it's taken measures to make sure u.s. authorities can't access the data. all dancer process will be carried out in the u.k. no dancer will leave will be held at any point outside the u.k. no lockheed martin staff will have access to any personal. all dancers the property of the and only u.k. e.u. owned companies will have any access. is it that last point that's raise red
11:20 am
flags for data protection lobbyists who say that all the private information collected during your senses will be available to practically any organization that requests it pay me use found in the statute. but only use the security intelligence services for national security purposes any use for the pursuit is croyde any use in pursuit of an e.u. community obligation so any e.u. rules that information can be passed over so it's essentially any government use whatsoever of confidentiality has been 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.
11:21 am
authorities to lay their hands on that information if they wanted a tip in the stead says it's used by the government grants to local councils and recognize new groups in society as census run by lockheed martin raises grave concerns and question about ethics and international 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 martin's pocket anyway you're an authority. stories making headlines across the people of chile have been a year of his. massive earthquake there killed more than five hundred people and left hundreds of thousands homeless the country's president led commemorations in a town that was all but leveled by the quake protesters or protests took place accusing the government of being too slow with rebuilding shattered communities maybe half the damaged properties remain uninhabitable but repairs are being dogged by bureaucratic hold ups. for british airways i.t.

and honestly it started fishes milk it can produce up to a quarter of its weight in paddy i'll say this specimen is about ten kilos so up to two our heroes of caviar every time they approach you know makes caviar more accessible but also helps preserve this increasingly scholars read of beautiful flowers 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 altogether poaching escalated and so did the prices now the country is trying to return to the heady days of soviet area abundance this is the largest farm in russia it boasts artesian water fish food and even spots for humans or its inhabitants the head of this raises says it. well leads to one
11:25 am
inescapable fact e.q. and unprofessional consumer will hardly be able to tell the difference between the wild and the farms can be hard in fact you can only taste it and if it tastes good that means it has been farmed however most experts agree that demand always outstrip supply and although black caviar may get cheaper it will never be cheap. party. green americans up next with a business report stay with us. our welcome to business with the criminal account thanks for joining me all prices are continuing to grow out of fears that unrest in the north africa and middle east might spread including to top producer saudi arabia a price of light sweet almost reached one hundred dollars per barrel on monday and the price of bread crude hovers about one hundred and twelve dollars now christine
