from europe and this to me that hundred forty thousand people have already fired and rest in libya into neighboring tunisia and egypt but the likelihood they'll actually stay there is rather slim it's only has already received as many as ten thousand refugees who continue to pour into the country france greece and spain may just be next in line even before. the prospect of massive immigration has always been europe's was. in real terms it has never been substantial we have always been below thirty thousand. every year. clearly the overthrow of the governments poses a whole different set of issues in what europe will be able to do. it depends on the ability of actually among some of the governments most affected i mean imagine if time is not overthrown i mean business cannot proceed as usual

after something will have to be done if i work on the map of libya in terms of oil production facilities will see that eighty percent of all producing territories right now are under rebel control now europe takes over eighty five percent of libya's crude exports more than thirty percent of libyan oil goes to italy fourteen percent to germany ten percent to china and france and five percent to the united states the unrest has already promoted a spike in oil prices which climbed it to over one hundred dollars a barrel the highest point in two years and this some analysts say is just the beginning or prices have a knock on effect to the cost of. most items because of course you need energy to. make products and deliver to the shop so. if all prices continue to stay they stay high. that will have significant inflation

pressures. on europe and the world finally if a civil war breaks out on libya with the country breaking apart geopolitical implications for the region and for the world cannot be underestimated the major peril now is coming is the islamists radical islamists coming into power one all over the region you know these revolutions in egypt and syria. all of the arab states they have been yes you can see the thirty million radical islamist parties that have been suppressed by previous regimes like the brotherhood in egypt for instance. in libya you know al qaeda is very strong in libya actually libyan people card is one of the strongest and the will need be the second strongest after the previous time one of the greatest dangers now is that. their trucks try to get into sort of city so they're highly volatile situation in this northern

african region really bears significance not just for libya egypt in argyria but really for the rest of the world. r.t. . well russia's former ambassador to libya told r.t. the veris a danger of the uprisings in the arab world could bring a fundamentalists. if the fundamentalists come to power the consequences will be serious they are not moderate fundamentalists like in egypt or tunisia they are extremists they're radicals this means that inside the country till it came to impose a dictatorship on their own people for to put into practice their principles an islamic state of an islamic economy etc it's yet another egalitarianism and utopias are always imposed only by means of a dictatorship and only by force the foreign policy area will be what we've repeatedly seen before will be attempts to exporter islamic revolutions and

wherever possible to support fighters for the great joy in the fact that libya is chockablock with weapons and that libya has financial formulas so the consequences of the fundamentalists come to power all the most negative but let me emphasize this if you because they are coming to power is not anything certain but such a possibility does exist. so she would. well you can watch the full interview with russia's former ambassador and first under twenty minutes time here at r.t. . well america is losing the information war two for the english language media like al-jazeera time as. well as the concern of u.s. secretary of state hillary clinton was asked congress for extra past the u.s. and around the world they want to check out reports from washington. here's what we have learned from hillary clinton's statement we are officially at war information

war by we i mean english language nonu west one media which provide alternative views on world news use which often one in contrast to the coverage of events by is worsening stream media story clinton was defending her department budget in congress she says a major reason the state department needs money is because the u.s. is losing the easel mation war and among those media who are winning that war hillary clinton named our team we are in an information war and we are losing that war i'll be very blunt in my assessment al jazeera is winning. the chinese have opened up a global english language and multi language television network the russians have opened up an english language network i've seen it in a few countries and it's quite instructive this is her and says oh she's leading an effort to spread us propaganda through new media with twitter feeds in arabic and farsi but on global stage the us creil twenty comes to television basically said

the u.s. should spend propaganda efforts and get back quote in the game of doing oh what we do best here is more we are engaged in an information war you know during the cold war we did a great job in getting america's message out after the berlin wall fell we said ok fine enough of that you know we've done it we're done and unfortunately we are paying a big price for it and our our private media cannot fill that gap in fact our private media particularly cultural programming often works at counter purposes to what we truly are as americans and what our values are i remember having an afghan general tell me that the only thing he thought about americans is that all the men wrestled in the women walked around a bikini because the only t.v. ever saw it was baywatch and worldwide wrestling from five years ago western media outlets including b.b.c. and c.n.n. basically had a monopoly in the coverage of walled news things have changed

a lot since then more and more viewers of cross the wall tuning in to various foreign media to get a fresh take on the events our t.v. presence on you tube for example is a real hit almost three hundred million views. something like three million r.t.s. cost and growing viewership is already an indication to many that the days of media monopoly are over and people demand multi-polar thanking al-jazeera coverage of the unrest in the middle east and and north africa as these russian presentation of events while many are happy to see this emerging media of a. right he is the head of a u.s. agency that manages the country's government one international broadcasting and is basically called those foreign media enemies i'm talking about walter isaacson's last year's infamous page to get more funding for his agency which among other media outlets once worth of america later he backtracked on the. go into minute he was trying to i've written statement last year sent pretty hostile message to

foreign media trying to trying to provide a fresh perspective on world news but but this was effective state hillary clinton basically confirmed it saying that the u.s. is at war at an information war with foreign media well journalist and filmmaker danny schechter says the u.s. is not open to alternative points if you can no longer hold the monopoly on information. united states feels on the defensive in part because it can no longer monopolize not only the terms of you know the soroti in these countries but also the terms of the debate there's other information out there there are other points of view and those points of view are profoundly damaging to a country that police that its point of view is the only point of view who should be the only point of view so hillary clinton one day's defending the internet the next day the administration is proposing all kinds of regulations and ways to cut

off the internet as possible the real commitment to the kind of freedom of the you versed speech that we really need if we're going to be a democracy at home and in a you know a community of nations overseas we can't dictate what people believe anymore. well for more stories visit our website that's our team dog call but there's plenty of analysis and features for you to explore including an american dream for soccer a nightmare for others the divide in the universe between the haves and the have nots a god. of pancakes are ready for tossing in a rush as the country gets down to traditional celebrations to mark the end of winter and the start of spring will find out more about the country's oldest holiday or to meet dot com. now a quick look at some other international headlines. with a handgun has attacked

a very professorial to politician he sets himself a goal in me does his best to achieve it annoys how we should all go out on the one hand he's not a blinkered politician on the school makes mistakes he knows how to analyze a new situation to draw conclusions and to find a way out of what sometimes seemed totally hopeless predicament so it's not for nothing that he's been the head of libya's and spunky to fifty nine which are longer than any other leader in the world over and more for. i was going to read you said he was an achiever was they said any cost or with some meaning of any course. to always keep in mind the price that you should pay for the gadhafi occasionally went too far but it wasn't too far off and whenever you did ask you soon realize that he was going too far. as the middle east uprising spread it seems that different leaders became harsher in their response into an easier the president came out with concessions in egypt concessions came with attacks then in

bahrain was so violence now got out the promises to quiet the last drop of plot if you prevails in other dictators will know which course to follow with the what you're when you deal with this that would support i wouldn't call it a cause and effect sequence like this or you see each case is unique what happened to geneseo engine is a policy tool superimposed upon popular protests the chief of staff came to the president and said look your time is up or if your plane has been filled look fuel on the waiting on the airfield it was the army that didn't like the president in egypt the army remained neutral to mubarak stepped down but no one least against the protesters but in parallel there were different things too in algeria our student on rest began it was dealt with in a sufficiently ruthless nonna the same thing happened in yemen you see i wouldn't draw a direct connection here neither would i say that libya will be an example for others earliest part of syria. so what forces are likely to replace got out after he is

gone which seems only a matter of time not was worth it what you see there is a grave danger in this respect of comes from the fundamentalists the libyans to major opposition groups it's not certain that they will come to power but the chances for that iraq are good still for the london based national front for the salvation of libya the more n.f.l. syria and its leaders as mike are of he himself is not an islamist but the leading group. those affiliated with the anniversary is the muslim brotherhoods the other organization is the libyan islamic fighting group that close its support from libyan immigrants in europe as early as nine hundred ninety six it sent its militants to libya in an attempt to start really warfare in syria because of her point as al qaeda and islamic emirates has been proclaimed their nearby helps noles the shells al-qaeda is now focusing on libya which is only natural of libya looks like a weak link where al-qaeda only gained success of that useful spear hook. not only

did they proclaim i am right but also at home and once i am a prisoner as much hat i want to consequences could this happen yes it will interest them if the fundamentalists come to power the consequences will be serious they are not moderate fundamentalists like in egypt or tunisia they are extremists they're radicals this means that inside the country they'll attempt to impose a dictatorship on their own people because for a foreign to practice their principles an islamic state an islamic economy etc it's yet another egalitarian utopia and utopias are always imposed only by means of a dictatorship and only by force of the foreign policy area will be what we've repeatedly seen before thirty attempts to extort islamic revolution and whatever possible to support fighters for the fate of the show and the fact that libya is chock a block with weapons of an idea has financial fonds it's all the consequences if

the fundamentalists come to power will be most negative let me emphasize this if because their coming to power is not only in certain the fear of such a possibility does exist. yes though there isn't you that democracy in the middle east is the right of the maturity to suppress the minority and the democracy there is seen differently than in the west do you agree when you were made a girl's wish you see the americans believed and seem to believe even now that it's enough to build another capital the white house and everything will be all paid so they did so in baghdad what's the result a civil war with lost since two thousand and three until this date was a problem of democracy in the arab world is a very complicated. what is going on now is determined by two factors for the link to democracy that they operate not only in libya but elsewhere in the arab world this one is there a new generation i want to inform generation that's not brought up on television and radio on the internet and

a generation of people who want to be citizens would have been subjects what a well what is it likely that a united libya could end up being broken up. we did lose they in the territory of libya yes of course libya's facing to a grave problems just as a country libya exists since the time of the atari not the patient when the name libya itself was invented by the italian police for there were three turkish provinces which impala tanian syrian and feds on of the under regionalism close to separate us moods and syria needs to have never ceased to exist with their money tribes and they're locked in rivalry with the jeweler walk when you why has it after you held power for so long because gadhafi belongs to a small tribe because up for this tri took power and it was unable to penetrate all wars control the entire state it's secure the balance between the tribes i mean the tape is there could out for and the rest are all the other choice.
