it's the unrest has already promoted a spike in oil prices which climbed over one hundred dollars a barrel the highest point in two years and this summer 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. to make products and deliver to 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 the islamists are radical islamists interpol won all over the region you know these revolutions in egypt and syria in tunisia a lot of arab steeds have been islamic if you'll see thirty million radical

islamist parties that have been suppressed by previous regimes muslim brotherhood in egypt for instance. in libya you know al qaeda is there is strong in libya through the libyan department of acquired is one of the strongest of the rule maybe of the circle strongest after the pakistani one one of the greatest dangers is that . you could use their tools to try to get use of the situation so they're highly volatile situation in this northern african region really bears significance not just probably be but really for the rest of the world. party. well we're interested in your opinion over the question of who has the most to win from the way the rest gripping the arab world do vote now on our website r.t. 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 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 it's garbage can reports the secretary is stage 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 non us one media which provide alternative views on world news views which often running contrast to the coverage of events by the worsening stream media story clinton was defending her department by getting congress she says a major reason the state department needs money is because the u.s. is losing the information war and among those media who are winning that war hillary clinton named arche 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 mrs clinton says she's leading an effort to spread u.s. propaganda through new media with twitter feeds in arabic and farsi but on global stage the u.s. prevailed when it comes to television basic and said the u.s. should step up propaganda efforts and get back quote and they gave of doing quote 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 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's because the only t.v. ever saw it was baywatch and worldwide wrestling some five years ago western media outlets including b.b.c. and c.n.n. basically had a monopoly in the coverage of world news things have changed a lot since then more and more viewers of across the world tuned into 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 c.n.n. has something like three new in al-jazeera coverage of the unrest in the middle east and in north africa outdone the u.s. presentation of the events while many are happy to see this emerging media variety the head of the u.s. agency that manages the country's government run international broadcasting is basically called those who are in media enemies. i'm talking about water ice in france last year's infamous page to get more funding for his agency which among

other media outlets one's voice of america later he backtracked on the. understatement oh and said it was. i'd written statement line your stand pretty hostile message to foreign media trying to trying to provide a fresh perspective on world news but but this was a secular state hillary clinton basically confirmed it saying that the u.s. is at war at an information war with foreign media. and a filmmaker says the u.s. is not in control of points of peace so he no longer holds 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 b. 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 who should be the only point of view so hillary clinton one day is the offending the internet the next day the administration is proposing all kinds of regulations and ways to cut off the internet of possible you know the real commitment to the kind of freedom of the u. verse speech that we really need it for going to be in a democracy that holeman in you know a community of nations overseas we can't dictate what people believe anymore. well for more stories do visit our website altie dot com there are plenty of analysis and if you just doris' we lure including. russians democracy in the owner of the neighbor peace prize mikhail gorbachev is a c find out what his zero means for the country an. awesome show on thomas' conquering the a tunnel eyes of the south pole visiting foreign bases and drinking exotic iceberg

of times russian didn't make a good choice parole or political he is a very prosperous oriented politician and he said himself. as mr cheever just a knows how we should go. out on the one hand and in the other he's not a blinkered politician when he makes mistakes he knows how to analyze a new situation to draw conclusions and to find a way out of sometimes seemed totally hopeless predicaments so it's not for nothing that he's been the head of libya's unstudied sixty nine longer than any other leader in the world over for. well let's go to doug you said he was an achiever or was this at any cost. i mean at any cost in the politics you always keep in mind the price that you should pay to get off your patiently went far but it wasn't too far i mean every did ask you soon realise 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 violent now get out the promises to quiet the last drop of blood if you prevails in other dictators will know which course to follow. you're going to deal with this that will support i wouldn't draw because of the fact sequence like this all you see each case is unique and original. apollos who is superimposed on popular protests the chief of staff came to the president said on your time example if your plane has been filled with fuel and is awaiting on the airfield it was the army that laraque a president in egypt the army remained neutral to mubarak step 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 nama and 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. part of. what courses are like letter plays get out get to his guns which seems only a matter of time not was worth it what you see there is a grave danger in this respect that comes from the fundamentalists libya's two major opposition groups it's not certain that they will come to power but the charges without a rather good system of those known as the london based national from for the salvation of libya. not out of if he himself is not an islamist but the leading group. among those affiliated with the anniversary is the muslim brotherhoods the other organization is the libyan islamic fighting group that draws its support from libyan immigrants in europe as early as nine hundred ninety six its center its militants to libya an attempt to start really warfare in syria later because i've heard the point is al qaeda and islamic emirate has been proclaimed of their neighbors iraq snails the shells al-qaeda is now focusing on libya which is

only natural of libya looks like a weak link where al-qaeda may gain success of that useful spear hook. not only did they proclaim i am right but also at home at one time a prisoner as muscat i want to consequences could this happen yes to all of 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 are trying to impose a dictatorship on their own people with your thoughts for you to put into 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 alone the foreign policy area will be what we repeatedly seen before thirty attempts to export islamic revolution and whatever possible to support fighters for the fate of throw in the fact that libya is

chockablock with weapons of the material sponsor phones to the consequences of the fundamentalists come to power will be most negative let me emphasize this if because their coming to power is not only thing certain that they've got such a possibility does exist. esko there is a view that democracy in the middle east is the right of the maturity to suppress the minority and a democracy there is seen differently than in the west do you agree you were here what. you see the americans believed and seem to believe even now that it's enough to build another capital a white house and everything will be ok they did so in baghdad what's the result of a civil war has lost since two thousand and three until this date was a problem of democracy in the arab world is a very complicated this what is going on now is determined by two factors that are linked to democracy will they operate not only in libya but elsewhere in the arab world this one is there

a new generation one of form generation that's been brought up on television and radio and the internet generation of people who want to be citizens rather than subjects well not only is it likely that a united libya could end up being broken up locally duck unusual but it really is they are in the territory of libya yes of course libya's facing real problems just as a country libya exists since the time of the italian occupation let me the name libya itself was invented by the italian lady for that there were three turkish provinces which to call a teeny a syrian and fez on of the cup and the regionalism close to separate moods and how they never cease to exist. only tribes and they're locked in rivalry with each other when you why has gadhafi held power for so long because gadhafi belongs to a small tribe the good luck for this tribe to power in eternity it was unable to penetrate all cores to control the entire state.
