series we'll take you to the ancient cod gallup poll which has a historic tate's the draw. a very warm welcome to you this is from moscow international criminal court is launching an investigation against libyan leader moammar gadhafi and some of his supporters for alleged crimes against humanity it's the first time the court has launched an investigation into an ongoing about one meanwhile the battle for the oil rich east continues with reports of an airstrike save the town of bega the country's witnessing the most deadly of all the arab revolts with a few thousand reportedly killed during more than a fortnight of fighting. community has condemned the harsh methods used to crack down on the opposition has come. always true to who ships already approaching

libyan shawls and they have raised their fears of foreign intervention we wildly un have warned of a growing humanitarian crisis almost in a dream where hundreds of thousands of stranded after fleeing libya r.t. reported thierry pausing to live in the capital struggle to cope with the huge influx of refugees. some one hundred eighty thousand people have fled libya with seventy five thousand of them already reaching here engine is yet another thirty thousand or waiting at the border to follow through after what the day tuesday there was a new fighting between government troops loyal to the woman gadhafi as well as opposition forces according to residents and eyewitness reports there were renewed airstrikes in the town of brega where just yesterday fourteen people were killed and that now the town was briefly taken over by government forces before and after we hear it is firmly back in the hands of rebels it is no means two weeks of

violence and one the gadhafi is using control over the eastern half of his country but he has vowed to stay in power and continue 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 have 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 calling for a no fly zone it will many of the international community who are against this including the arab league as well as russia they say that it's creates an area where you have to have some kind of short term solution and put on the table but no long term prognosis in terms of how this will play out we are hearing the same from locals here 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 then it proved that it is unlikely to halt the visions helicopter and ground operations or anything as long as the risk of expanding the violence now as gadhafi will then have the justification he needs to merely stepped up is fine since and his temp aims against people who oppose him policy of african legs on the situation in north africa will no make america care law furthur the arab world with pride of old regime and is bound searching for a new identity. we see. that the new generation the new generation in the arab world which is tired of ruling regimes. the did not elect. people who are in power in most of our countries they can

prescribe more than twenty years and for those was about twenty or thirty it's very difficult to say why do they had why do we have those rulers. the so their philosophy their way of thinking of their understanding and of their social identity is something which emerges within the arab societies and you could hardly impose any ideology on them you can hardly impose democracy or western standards you could probably impose the sheer rule of the iranian standard were even the turkish mode i think that. the discussion within the arab world about the future of the arab world is only starting. well don't miss the full interview with a lot playing up in just around twenty minutes time here on t.v. well the libyan crisis is showing no signs of dying down and is now being felt far

beyond its borders the cries of the oil is skyrocketing as a result with angles of the feelings of neighboring countries in the south 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 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 i'm dressed 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 tonight. in real terms it has never been substantial we have always been below thirty thousand

. possible entries every year. clearly the overthrow of the governments poses a whole different set of issues and what europe will be able to do. it depends on the ability of actually cordy needing among some of the governments most affected i mean imagine if time is not overthrown i mean business cannot proceed as usual 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 that oil producing territories right now are under rebel control now europe takes over eighty five percent of libya's korea exports more than thirty percent of libyan oil goes to italy fourteen percent in germany ten percent in china and france and five percent to the united states the unrest has already promoted a spike in oil prices which climbed to over one hundred dollars

a barrel the highest point in two years and this summer analysts say is just the beginning or prices have a knock on effect. at the cost of. most items because of course you need energy to. make products and deliver them to the shop so. if prices continue to stay 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 already call islamists coming into power one all over the region you know these revolutions you need a shift in syria in tunisia all of the arab speeds they have been yet you can

see thirty million radical islamist parties that have been suppressed by previous regimes like muslim brotherhood in egypt for instance. in libya you know al qaeda is there is strong in libya actually libyan department is one of the strongest of the rule maybe of the second strongest after the spiny one one of the greatest dangers is that. you could use their trucks to try to get you through the city so they're highly volatile situation in this northern african region really bear significance not just really be egypt in algeria but really for the rest of the world if you are. coming up in just a couple of moments exploring russia's grated feces this place some of the stuff russian says he realises level stay with us to find out the latest cultural hub in the. ukraine this guy's a russian fighter jet passes like test with flying colors in

a couple of minutes here on aussie. the u.s. is losing an information war to alternative media outlets including our team with the lessons from hillary clinton's a congress members who are questioning the state department's forty seven billion dollars budget request for next year is gonna get you can reports the u.s. secretary of state says washington needs to step up its propaganda efforts 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 information war and among those media who are winning that war hillary clinton named our team 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 us trailed twenty comes to television stations have us should step talk op again and for a thing get back in the game of doing oh whoa 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 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 cross the world tune into various foreign media to get a fresh take on the events our t.v. presence on you can 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 and in north africa as out there on the u.s. presentation of the french law 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 foreign media enemies this was this narrative state hillary clinton basically confirmed it saying that the us is at war at an information war with foreign media. the u.s. is being left behind in the global media race because the country isn't limited to freedom of speech that's according to investigators journalistic danny schechter

united states feels on the defensive in part because he can no longer monopolize not only the terms of you know the soroti here in these countries but also the terms of the big 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 family of the internet the next day the administration is proposing all kinds of regulations and ways to cut off the internet of possible you know there's no real commitment to the kind of freedom of the u. verse speech that we really need it for 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.
