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 hundred dollars a barrel the highest point in two years and this some analysts say is just the beginning all 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 prices continue to stay high that will have significant inflation pressures. on europe. and the world finally if a civil war breaks out in libya with the country breaking apart geo political implications for the region and for the world cannot be underestimated the major peril now is coming is that islamists radical islamists interpol one all over the

region you know these revolutions in egypt and syria in tunisia all of the arab steeds they have been here you can see a million radical islamist parties have been suppressed by previous regimes like the brotherhood in egypt for instance. in libya you know very strong in libya and the libyan people and it is one of the strongest of the world maybe the second strongest after the protest but you know one of the greatest dangers is that. i just. tried to get into the city so they're highly volatile situation in this northern african region really bears significance not just really big egypt in algeria but really for the rest of the world is going to r.t. well we're interested in your opinion over the question of who has the most to win from the. unrest gripping the arab world well you can vote now on our web site

that's r t v dot com. now in the clash of the global media outlets america is taking hits and losing ground to the new kids on the block including r.t. but the warning from top u.s. diplomat hillary clinton was coupled with a plea for hard cash to get america's message back on track and or he's going to trickle down reports the secretary of state doesn't believe the home grown news channels are up to the task here is 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 run in contrast to the coverage of events by the us mainstream 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 evil nation 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. 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 when says he's leading an effort to spread u.s. propaganda through new media with twitter in arabic and farsi but on wolf stage the u.s. creil twenty comes to television basically said the u.s. should spend all propaganda efforts and get back quote and they gave of doing oh of course 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 for 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 bit because the only t.v. i ever saw was baywatch and worldwide wrestling and five years ago western media outlets including b.b.c. and c.n.n. basically had a monopoly in the coverage of war news things have changed a lot since then more and more viewers of cross the world 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 knew in al-jazeera coverage of jiang rest in the middle east and in the world as outdone the u.s. presentation of events long many are happy can see this emerging media variety the

head of the u.s. agency that manages the country's government run international broadcasting and is basically called those foreign media enemies. i'm talking about walter isaacson's last year's infamous the pitch to get more funding for his agency which among other media outlets one's voice of america later he backtracked on those on that statement though and said he was. just words i'd written statement my friend pretty hostile message to foreign media trying to trying to provide a fresh perspective on world news but this once they started of state hillary clinton basically confirmed it saying that the u.s. is at war at an information war with foreign media. journalist and filmmaker danny schechter says the u.s. is not open to alternative points of view that can no longer hold a 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 believes that its point of view is the only point of view or should be the only point of view so hillary clinton one day is defending the internet the next day the administration is proposing all kinds of regulations and ways to cut off the internet if possible you know there's no real commitment to the kind of freedom of the u. verse speech that we really need if we're going to be in a democracy at home and in a you know a community of nations overseas we can't dictate what people believe anymore so forget for more stories visit our website r.t. dot com there are plenty of analysis and features for you to explore including the father of russia's defaulter c.n.d. recipients if he does well please rise over

media like al-jazeera china c.c.t.v. and our t.v. hillary clinton voice their concern as she asked congress for extra cash to promote the u.s. agenda. but now it's time for a special report about the history of the deadly explosives of the twentieth century you stay with us. my name is bob baer. i used to be a cia agent stationed in the levanon during the civil war. it was chaos. but the real threat was always car bombs. but until now the car bomb secret history has never been told. who invented it who developed it and who killed. i've come back to the one city where a car bombs have forever shape our history. beirut.

i loved beirut. it was a great place to be a spy. and then the embassy got hit. by a suicide car bomber. sixty three dead dead american dead lebanese six of my close colleagues friends in the cia were killed. carsten to that saw the bomb go off. and suddenly i saw this the. white star of the old embassy and then of course the bank and then when i took the place and i went over and there i saw death and destruction and chaos. it was a stunning assault and one man with

a car could wage war on the united states ironically with an american truck. there is one man who knows a lot about lebanese car bombs. mahmoud. a top expert who defused does. sins of bombs. christian car bombs palestinian car bombs muslim car bombs. and the long drawn out civil. war going. on then i was the only expert who was this mental in kabul is in lebanon and all the little of the. pressure became too good at stopping. and then his adversaries decided to target him. monday the left elbow on the specially for me and i simply it was activated by remote control and as soon as i touched the bomb. they blew it up.

one february fourteenth two thousand and five the former lebanese prime minister rafiq hariri presidential cavalcade was destroyed by. the c.c.t.v. camera captured the vehicle this white truck. in the traffic. as hariri as black mercedes through alongside the bomb went off. really was one of the world's richest man a billionaire. his mercedes was armor to the hilt the six. the best protection level there is. truly the root is the whole of the modern car the car bombs we're seeing today in iraq were developed on the streets

suicide car bombs fell three least twenty to baghdad pledging to go around twenty five million and six police officers. to get into the war in iraq we saw dozens of lebanese crossing the border into syria. and it was only a matter of time before a car bomb started on. a. car bombing might have become a lebanese national customs but the lebanese never created the car bomb. like a lot of other things in the twentieth century car bombs are an american invention . by the one nine hundred twenty s. new york had become the financial center of world capitalism. but then in september one thousand twenty wall street was rocked by a massive explosion. it

was the world's first car bomb. where we're walking right now is exactly where if you'd been standing here on september sixteenth one thousand nine hundred twenty you would have been hit by the bomb over here what was then the u.s. sub-treasury. and of course the stock exchange with a big flag on it there same buildings that would have been here most famously the morgan bank. and that really was and in some ways still is just the epicenter of american capitalism and government tell me what happened there at about twelve zero one a leg and were strong bank and exploded into the lunchtime crowd. they killed about forty people in the street and injured hundreds of people it was fairly sophisticated i mean whoever built this thing. know what they're doing they

knew what they were doing and of course the question immediately became who was that person or who were those people and the best theory is that it was a man named mario buda who was an italian an artist who was a lone operator and he was even within this circle of a militant an artist's very committed revolutionaries he was the committed of the committed what did he want though i mean it was there anything that give us an idea what these guys wanted there was a lawyer found in a mailbox nearby who blocks up that way that said free the political prisoners or it will be death to all of you and it was signed the american an artist fighters the political prisoners were two italian anarchistic sacco and vanzetti who had been arrested and later executed by the federal government after an abortive bank robbery. it was a notorious case and critics claimed it was a show trial.
