the story as britain's prepared to tell all of the latest national census there's deep concern that the u.s. connecting information could dish out the tainted with molecule intelligence by law . you're watching our ten pm moscow time welcome if you're just joining us my name is kevin our top story tonight gunfire has been heard on the streets of the libyan capital as hundreds of opposition protesters gathered to call for an end to colonel gadhafi his rule there are also reports of pro-government forces launching airstrikes on protesters in other parts of the country has paid all of his keep across developments from neighboring egypt. on monday we saw hundreds of protesters on the streets of tripoli protesting against the gadhafi regime security forces

fired shots to try and disperse the crowds now colonel gadhafi is certainly imparts old at the moment he's not in control. but anywhere in libya pretty much outside of the capital tripoli the opposition forces have taken control of the cities very very close to the capital and they are closing in on making a final push towards tripoli this is an interesting story thing coming out of tripoli you probably get duffy's private jet has landed again back in the libyan capital after spending time in in minsk is it's believed that this is the same private jet following to get be there with denied permission to land in lebanon last week and it was believed also that on board that private jet was these daughter and other members of his family and this isn't the only story concerning planes belonging to the libyan leader. that's been coming to light we're hearing that a plane may have been the same one from libya landed in belarus the allegedly contained

gold and diamonds belonging to the leader bello russian foreign ministry of vehemently deny these claims saying that there's no such plane has landed but this wouldn't be the first time if it is true that bella reese has harbored an embattled leader of another country just last year back here of the former leader of kurdistan sought solace there when he was dismissed from power in his own country well so on monday there was a meeting of the u.n. human rights committee meeting and give a chance for many of the world's leaders to put forward their condemnation for the violence that's been going on in libya among those to add his voice to that crowd saying that libya should stop this violence was russian foreign minister sergey lavrov of. mass protests across the middle east and north african countries that

exposed a range of problems that have piled up for decades first of all policy and employment and i'm guaranteed social and economic rights and. general these programs should be addressed by the people of their factor countries without any coercion or external interference the use of military force against civilians is unacceptable in libya because hundreds of civilian deaths russia condemn such violence demands its immediate cessation and they are deserving of international humanitarian law. paean union has followed the united nations in bringing sanctions on libya and on the libyan regime now these include things like a free. movement but also arms embargo one of the things that these sanctions will bring into play is the referral of colonel gadhafi and his regime to the international criminal court now there are some that believe there should be all one of the senior officials appear before that criminal court some embarrassing

revelations about his dealings with the west in recent times could come to light. so it's twenty four seven. to call aberration libya took the air. trio that you know. that the international community all the shady deals all all the shady deals with italy specially in eat which has invested at least fifty billion dollars oil interests and daughter relationship so the ritually every european government not to mention the u.s. an arms dealer. investigation into what's happened in libya is some way off what is happening right now though is a humanitarian crisis on the border between zero and libya as people flee from violence in the west of the country now many people have crossed over the border into tunisia some estimates put it at around one thousand people per hour crossing

on monday at least well over one hundred thousand now it's believed to have crossed the border into tunisia and they're being dealt with at the moment on that side of the border now not just those people fleeing into many foreign nationals have been evacuated from. their countries among those countries doing just was russia and my colleagues on a body call went along on one of the flights to take people from libya and take a. the russian found out just what it was like propelled by fear held back by doubt many of those who boarded the last russian emergency plane from libya didn't want to leave but then decided better save than sorie a subcontractor for gas from alexey says he never cared much about the libyan politics until arguments over placed by guns it's. dangerous because the oppressors it's.

people. just don't. really responsible. it. doesn't. just. for years it was a mantra for many foreign companies ignore good fs quirks and you'll be rewarded in oil revenues but is the levy a sleeps closer to a civil war based logic no longer seems bulletproof yet even on the russian plane there were some who said that the grim projections for blown out of proportion i do mean it has worked in libya as a nurse for twenty years sas she already regrets the decision to flee. all those reports by al-jazeera and all the arab language channels calls she a panic among the people nobody's attack an entry probably there is no shooting

yesterday when we go to see my friends all the young people supporting gadhafi hospitals are working as usual as all the people open today everything functions people who want to leave as they can. yes but the country awash with firearms the current law and violence increasingly looks like a calm before the storm that's why the tripoli airport is now would be easier than ever with a country scrambling to call their citizens out oh my god after he's known to proudly cell phone being issued negotiator and insults given 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 the price from revere 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 evacuation fairly easily other countries didn't fare that well the gyptian uprising may have been sparsely vince but it also left thousands of egyptian guest workers stranded at tripoli airport it's barely though if any assistance from their state a few years ago many countries raise to leave in whose all reserves of the biggest in africa now days even more frantically if they're trying to get out but those fleeing the violence see it's just a matter of time before they'll be back at some of our sea tripoli and move libyan oil production down fifty percent and still could jump in prices could be just the start of a bumpy ride surging fuel costs in the united states are threatening to derail the country's economic recovery and resulted lauren lyster reports next the political price may be too high for the of barmer administration. tunisia.

egypt. bahrain. algeria. libya protest in country seeming to fuel one another unrest spreading like wildfire through the middle east and north africa own region in all year rich countries that helped fuel the world's use of more than eighty four million barrels of crude a day. uncertainty over production has said prices soaring mean a shock waves from the middle east turmoil are being felt worldwide will is also valuable resource on the planet today controls. extremely now the mideast crisis is hitting home for outteridge americans and 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 an end to the recovery there's no more bailouts like a reality peak oil expert michael c. rupert sees happening if oil hits one hundred fifty dollars a barrel which he believes is inevitable this year others predict they're 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 as some predict there would be a high political price to pay for the obama administration's yeah yeah saline prices go up to much and for a very long period it could raise your or. 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 it 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 trying to push their back against an avalanche and i don't think we're going to hear a lot of success that may not something u.s. from trying to take control some observers believe the u.s. may intervene militarily in libya or will reserves are massive under false pretenses of helping protesting people has nothing to do with interest he. has

everything to do with the interest of the u.s. corporate oil corporations military. profit even 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 not laura mr r.t. new york. check it out c dot com our website so always more of the day's news or analysis as well on a chance to have your say line of this night in fact piece of history made the sale of a bird's eye view of the shuttle's final flight very close watch this unique will be taken by an airplane passenger from his mobile phone we see more of that sort of the concept and. also take a look at russian special forces big push through the paces during weeks of training tough guys tackling some tough terrain that's an art gallery section. of.

the people of britain are about to get probed about how they live and who they are with the latest nationwide census just around the corner but there's a fear over who gets to see this sensitive information that they tell about themselves that's because a controversial u.s. defense corporation is in charge of collecting said data and found out. 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 manufacture a lot he'd martin and campaigners ranging from religious groups to peace activists to data protection lobbyists are really against it on ethical grounds they are the number of oppressive regimes they also. fear 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 parliament 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 kuantan and. although it will be the u.k. all 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

age lockheed martin maintains it's taken measures to make sure u.s. authorities can't access the data. process and will be carried out in the u.k. leave or be held any point outside the u.k. no not had. access to any personal census data. all data is the property of you and you and companies will have any access. but it's that last point that's raised red flags for data protection lobbyists who say that all the private information collected during your census will be available to practically any organization that requests that any use under any statute. any use by the security or intelligence services for national security purposes any use for the pursuit of crime 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 confidential houses being a polished 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 secrets 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 senses it would be hard for the u.s. authorities to lay their hands on that information if they wanted data from the steps this is used by the government grants to local councils and recognize new groups in society that fences 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 effective and the waste of money but the two hundred forty million dollar contracts amount will go into looking at martins pockets any way you read it r.t.

one inescapable fact the e.q. and unprofessional consumer will hardly be able to tell the difference between the wild and the farm caviar that in fact you can only tasters and if it tastes good god 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 cheaper . variable shoba r.t. . well it's kevin only got the sport ahead for you in fifteen minutes this monday night kate's good news the double carriage will jump into the quarterfinals wise or he's going to cut we hear how they did it a bit later on and let's get across the latest among the business leaders that eventually created was this a new electronic card system russia may be set to spend billions on here well that's a new car that can become sort of a identities arguments and replace numerous existing cards already issued by various government agencies it will help you pay your taxes well and etc. but more
