the war she named r t i'll be back with more in just a few minutes. and the oil measure to tell is buying a twelve percent stake and russia's independent gas producer not of the company in ten st crees it's takes you up to twenty percent in the next three years more in business in twenty minutes. very warm welcome gee this is like from moscow a key town in libya's oil rich east is reportedly told as it is i asked giants once again today after forces loyal to colonel gadhafi took control of it but were later forced out by the opposition after finding continues to warning of a humanitarian crisis as thousands in the country meanwhile the libyan leader's promised more violence. if u.s.

or nato forces there to intervene are these appalling clear has more on the situation in the. least one hundred eighty thousand people who have so far fled libya and some seventy five thousand of them arriving here in tunisia most of them are foreign labor as they are being housed at the border points intense where they receiving food and medical supplies aid workers who are on the scene are warning that this is reaching crisis point and we're hearing reports of crisis and chaos at these border points as gods struggle to get the situation under control now fighting is continuing throughout the country at civil towns between forces loyal to the leader moammar gadhafi and with all forces particularly in those areas around the libyan capital tripoli government forces are struggling to retain control and create creating keep in place a buffer zone around what is still the leaders stronghold there are increasingly fears that the situation could deteriorate into civil war now discussions are

continuing at the united nations over a proposed no fly zone over libya now this idea has been suggested by the british prime minister david cameron if indeed he goes ahead and commit some stuff to it in essence britain will be committing itself to shooting down aircraft now the idea has been rejected by many in the international community including russia they say that it is for libyans to determine their own fate and their own future it is worth noting though that british troops are in the libyan town of bint ghazi this gloomy for nearly two weeks and there are also growing concerns that they might take over chemical weapons stockpiles that are in that town and this is because london has indicated that it has fears that it definitely might use these stockpiles against his own people if fishel reason though for those british troops being there is humanitarian reasons it's also the official reason that's been given by the united states for warships that it's into the region it says it is who should might be used or at least are planning to use. in humanitarian efforts but then all options

are on the table and this has raised concerns here that bin might be behind the scenes some kind of plan for international intervention despite libyans saying that they do not want to have this but the libyan crisis rages on some foreign powers the way up whether to get involved there is bannister director of the washington based think tank the institute for policy studies but he's nato's military intervention is unrealistic and his recent posturing is just showing not. this is an old story in washington where humanitarian intervention is the excuse of the day i don't think we're going to see the possibility of troop deployments or even necessarily ship involvement i think this is partly a show of force to intimidate gadhafi and to make nice as it were to the new leadership that will be rising in libya to create a new government when gadhafi is overthrown there is no doubt that people in washington and london and elsewhere are scurrying around desperate to figure out

ways of ensuring that they get in on the ground floor with these new these new governments that are going to be in power that they are or oil companies get that it chevron and b.p. rather than russian or chinese or other oil companies the people of libya face an even harder challenge than than the people of egypt and tunisia and other countries that have existing governmental institutions in place that they can take over and use as the base in libya there are no such institutions there is no parliament there is no constitution all of this is being created whole cloth it's an incredibly exciting moment for people in libya but they're paying a huge price in blood to make that possible a democratic revolution that is underway in libya are indigenous home grown revolutionary processes and they don't need us government forces to teach them about democracy they are claiming it on their own and that needs to be respected.

well more on the fallout from the rest in the middle east in north africa in just a moment but first a look at what else is ahead for you this hour the world was hillary clinton called for reinforcements saying americans back will pause and minds is being lost on the move to t.v. news for me it's. step back a whole millennium follow also use plague salty was weasel rich cultural legacy of gotta stop. the ripples caused by the under arrest in northern africa and across the middle east and now being felt on why. not sell the situation. let's look at the implications of the ongoing unrest in the northern african region and what it means for the rest of the world geographically libya tunisia egypt a large area and these are just some of the countries affected by the civil unrest there just across the sea from europe and estimated hundred forty thousand people

have already fled unrest in libya into neighboring tunisia and egypt but the likelihood will 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 wars. in real terms it has never been substantial we have always been below thirty thousand . possible and 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 cordingley among some of the governments most affected i mean imagine if time coral gadhafi is not overthrown i mean business cannot proceed

as usual after something will have to be done if we work on the map of libya in terms of oil production facilities will see that eighty percent of that oil producing territories right now are under rebel control now europe takes over eighty five percent of libya's career exports more than thirty percent of libyan oil goes to italy fourteen percent in germany ten percent to china in france and five percent to the united states and the rest 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 summer analysts say is just the beginning all prices have a knock on effect. the cost of. most items because of course you need energy to. make products and deliver to the shop so. if prices continue to state a state 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 already call islamist interpol on all over the region you know these revolutions in egypt and syria in tunisia all of the arab speeds they have been. you can see thirty million radical islamist parties have been suppressed by previous regimes muslim brotherhood in egypt for instance. in libya you know very strong in libya libyan people have been people acquired is one of the strongest of the world maybe the circle strongest after the persone one one of the greatest dangers is that. you could use that hooks to try to get use of the situation so they're highly volatile situation in this northern african region

really bears significance not just really big. but really for the rest of the world is going to. well we're interested in your opinion over the question of who has the most to win from the wave of unrest gripping the arab world do you vote now on our website that's r.t. dot com. now the target 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 americans message back on track and is going as you can report the secretary of state doesn't believe the home grown news channels are up to the top ask 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 running contrast to

the coverage of events by the worsening stream media story clinton was the finding her department budget in congress is as a major reason the state department needs y.b. 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. trail when it comes to television basically said the u.s. should step up propaganda efforts and get back quote and they gave of doing are 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 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 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 world news things have changed a lot since then more and more viewers of crossed the walled tuning 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. something like three million al-jazeera the coverage of the unrest in the middle east and in north africa has outdone the u.s. presentation of the events while many are happy to see this emerging media variety of the head of the u.s. agency that manages the country's government one international broadcasting is basically called those who are media enemies. i'm talking about water isaacson's last year's infamous page to get more funding for his agency which among other media outlets of america later he backtracked on the. understatement hour and said he was nice and i did phone statement last year's pretty hostile message to foreign media trying to trying to provide a fresh perspective on world news but but this was a factor of state hillary clinton basically confirmed it saying that the u.s. is at war at an information war with foreign media all journalist and filmmaker

danny schechter says the u.s. is not saying and alternative points of no longer hold but we're not really on inflammation united states feels on the defensive in part because it can no longer monopolize not only the terms of you know the sarti in these countries but also the terms of the debate there's other information out 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 the offending the internet the next day the administration is proposing all kinds of regulations and ways to cross the internet if possible in a little real commitment to the kind of freedom of the you versed speech that we really need if we're going to be in a democracy at home and in a you know
