government troops loyal to leader moammar gadhafi as well as opposition forces according to residents and eyewitness reports they were renewed a strikes in the town of leader we just yesterday fourteen people were killed and that now the town was briefly taken over by government forces before we hear it is firmly back in the hands of the rebels it is no means of two weeks of violence and one of the dusty is losing control of the eastern half of his country but he has vowed to stay in power and continued fighting against this backdrop it is becoming increasingly imaginable that there could be some kind of foreign intervention in libya the u.s. has already sent warships that has reached the mediterranean and are making their way towards libya we're hearing that four hundred u.s. soldiers are in the mediterranean right now really to board these warships at the same time the british prime minister david cameron of course so a no fly zone there were many there in. international community who are against
9:04 am
this including the arab league as well as russia they say that it's creates an aria where you have to have some kind of short term solution put on the table but no long term prognosis in terms of how this will play out we are hearing the same from locals there there are against any kind of international intervention with opposition leaders saying as much they say that it will spread the conflict it will undermine the democratic movement and at the same time we're hearing that a no fly zone will involve military attacks on libya's air defenses not this was done in other countries such as iraq and they would prove that it is unlikely to hold the regime's helicopter and ground operations if anything it runs the risk of expanding the violence here as gadhafi will then have the justification he needs to merely stick up his final scene and his campaigns against people who oppose him. they're related thought with a curation in north africa well
9:05 am
a lawmaker be heard about a girl or says that the arab world is tired of old regime that is null searching for a new identity. we see the new generation the new generation in the arab world which is tired of the ruling regimes. we did not elect. people who are in power in most of our countries lubricant was promoting twenty years and for those who was abroad twenty or thirty it's very difficult to see why oh why do we have the rulers. so their philosophy their way of thinking of the understanding and of their search of identity is something which emerges within the arab societies and you could hardly impose any ideology you can hardly impose democracy or western standards you can hardly impose the sheer rule over you really and standard were even the turkish
9:06 am
mode or i think that. the discussion within the arab world with the future of their world is only starting. what i mean is the full interview with to get off coming up next hour here on t.v. . now the libyan crisis is showing no signs of dying down and is now being felt far beyond its borders the price of oil is skyrocketing without a result without all the very good feeling to neighboring countries. have maps out 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 and our jury and these are just some of the countries affected by the civil unrest there just across the sea from europe and this to me that 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 italy has
9:07 am
already received as many a thirty 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 tonight. 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 and what europe will be able to do. depends on the ability of actually called the among some of the governments most affected i mean imagine if in two months time coral good is not overthrown i mean business could not proceed as usual after so something will have to be done if you work on the map of libya in terms of all oil production facilities will see that eighty percent of
9:08 am
the oil producing territories right now are under rebel control and now you are up to eighty five percent of libya's crude exports more than thirty percent of libyan oil goes to italy fourteen percent in germany ten percent of china in france and five percent to the united states and the rest has already promoted a spike in oil prices which climbed it's over one hundred dollars a barrel the highest point in two years and this summer is just the beginning all prices have a knock on effect. the cost of. most items because of course you need energy to. to make products and deliver them to the shop so. if prices continue to stay. 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
9:09 am
implications for the region and for the world cannot be underestimated the major peril now is coming is the islamists are radical islam is going to pile on all over the region you know these revolutions in egypt and syria in tunisia all of the arab states they have been yet you can see a million radical islamist parties who have been suppressed by previous regimes the muslim brotherhood in egypt for instance. in libya you know he's very strong in libya actually libyan department is one of the strongest of the world maybe the second strongest after the previous spiny one one of the greatest dangers is that al qaida. tried to get use of it 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.
9:10 am
coming up in just a couple of moments exploring russia's greatest cities the sound play soccer team visits the central russian a city of yet us travel and stay with all sorts of find out why this cultural more bizarre than in the limelight. and conquering of the skies a russian fighter jet passes a test without flying colors for the couple of minutes here on our c. the u.s. is losing information water alternative media outlets including r t well that's the message from hillary clinton to congress members who are questioning the state department's forty seven billion dollars budget request for next year result damages you can report the u.s. secretary of state says washington needs to step up its propaganda that. clinton was the finding her department budget in congress she says a major reason the state department needs money is because the u.s.
9:11 am
is losing the information war and among those media who are winning that war hillary clinton named arky 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 when one says oh 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 she basically said the u.s. should step up propaganda efforts and get back quote in the game of doing quote what we do best here is more 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
9:12 am
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 was baywatch and worldwide wrestling come 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 tune 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 coverage of the unrest in the middle east than in words africa has outdone the u.s. presentation of the events while many are happy to see this emerging media variety
9:13 am
the head of a u.s. agency that manages the country's government run international broadcasting is basically called those foreign media enemies this was the search of state hillary clinton basically confirmed it saying that the u.s. . is at war i mean formation war with foreign media. hamad karzai says mounting civilian casualties in the afghanistan war a serious problem which washington is not doing enough to address the president made the statement during a video conference and broccoli bomb on thursday it comes a day after nato apologized for the killing of nine boys under the age of thirteen in afghanistan live in area line findings indicate they were killed in an accidental on this we're joined live now from the afghan capital by the activist. many thanks for being with us here in a safe says it's sorry for the tragedy but what are these official apologies really mean to the bereaved family. it's very difficult to translate
9:14 am
these apologies. really meaningful. things to victims' families these are casualties that have been happening for too many years too many civilian casualties and also the people of afghanistan the civilians are the victims of both the nato civilian casualties and the terrorists who come with bombings and with indiscriminate targeting of civilian areas and the people of palestine are tired of war they're both. despicable and they're deplorable and whether it's coming from the terrorists or from the regular nato forces it kills afghans and if we don't do anything about it seriously there might be people who think that the value of the life of afghans are probably less and it doesn't mean anything to western countries who are here to fight
9:15 am
a war on terror so the life of the afghan people should become as valuable as the life of those that these forces are coming here to defend the same. the people in afghanistan are tired of this and list of ongoing indiscriminate zooming killing but how is the u.s. expecting to win the hearts and minds of the afghan people as it says it wants to do if some steady mistakes like this one continue to occur. you know the hearts of the people of afghanistan or in the hands of two incompetent. players players in international community and one player is the afghan government and both players are incompetent and ignorant about the true meaning of hearts and minds the hearts and minds of the people of afghanistan cannot be won by. previous peace that you talk about the forty seven billion dollars that the united states or any other propaganda machines cannot win what hearts and minds are real things
9:16 am
tangible things things that can be touched in their lives when their hearts and minds are reports that we've received suggest that u.s. military action has killed nearly twice as many civilians as the insurgents has and how can the afghan people possibly keep tolerating this. and you know the intention of this war was to fight terror but the people of afghanistan have become the victim of terror by the terrorists and what happens to them in terms of these civilian losses of life that also terrorizes every family that also kills and mothers fathers children so at the end of the day the loss is on the afghan side whether it's coming from the terrorists from by suicide bombings by a school by clinic. or by indiscriminate and
9:17 am
incompetent military actions and i think the lack of. proper coordination the lack of interest intelligence that needs to be there and especially in a guerrilla war this becomes even more pertinent nato has to do much better the united states and coalition forces have to do much better and they have to also hold the afghan side also at a higher standard in this. what the afghan government and the international community are held responsible in their eyes and and in the eyes of the people of up on the stuff let's talk about the afghan government throughout this government and like himself type of piece of meat in the kings of corruption see here do you think is really gaining from that still raging on enough hands down you know what the government of understand says about corruption or about
9:18 am
governance that in itself has created a vacuum a corruption of poor governance and lack of rule of law has created a void where the taleban and opposition are coming in recruiting and also or holding the civilians as shields and thereby they they create a situation where this civilian casualties become a reality because they bring nato into civilian areas they bring their opposition into civilian areas by hiding there we have to provide for the people of water sort of what they need so they will side with the government of afghanistan and with the international community. governors the high officials of the government and the political and economic mafia in this country have held the people of this country hostage and therefore they're the hostage of two sides the incompetence of our government and the international community and the bullying of the terrorists who come to each village and take advantage of their vacuum that the government and the

international community creates their life from the afghan capital kabul that was critical. ok quick look at some other international headlines now this hour for you of a suicide bomber has blown up a bank in northern iraq killing at least eight people eight others were wounded in the blast in the town of how deep the reports say the terrorists targeted people queuing at the bank to collect their salaries security personnel was said to be among those killed it's thought to be the first major attack in the towns and over two thousand and nine when five people were killed by a suicide bomber. over three hundred christians to to the streets and to protest against the assassination of the country's minorities minister. he was killed on wednesday when medicines gunned down in his car this was the second assassination in two months of
