to the international space station on the fiftieth anniversary of the first manned flight into space more details just ahead. two pm in moscow i matter as a good to have you with us here on r t our top story there is increasing speculation the u.s. and u.k. could intervene in libya with use of force president obama says he's keeping all options open and ready to act if the crisis deepens washington is already increased its military presence in the region are his policy or has more. well i'm standing here on the border crossing between china sea and libya. and there certainly is a growing sense here that as the situation in libya deteriorates so too does the possibility for foreign intervention grow now the u.s. president barack obama in his strongest words so far against the libyan leader

moammar gadhafi said that gadhafi had lost all legitimacy to rule and must step down he also said that he had approved the use of american military equipment to assist in the evacuation of the egyptian and other refugees from libya now there is concern here on the ground as there is in the international community that as the situation deteriorates under the guise of humanitarian assistance the united states the u.k. and other players who are motivating for some kind of intervention will go ahead with it the responsibility to protect is a very selective principle just a week ago twenty nine demonstrators there were peaceful demonstrators were killed in iraq by a government that has been propped up by thousands of american troops at the same time there have been demonstrations in the rain for weeks now we have heard he's have been firing tear gas and shooting on protesters the united states has not come out and said anything about this many people suspecting because it has been hit protests of its feet there now the argument that the international community has

a responsibility to get involved and stop gadhafi from carrying out his people does not hold much weight when you need to remember that while hundreds of libyans have been killed just a few weeks ago when three hundred egyptians had been killed the response at that time from washington was full of the strains on both sides and not for any kind of international intervention libya has the largest oil reserves in africa at the same time european energy companies are in place to deeply here this is why many in international community suspect that the reasoning behind those in the international community calling for some kind of intervention is motivated by personal reasons rather than anything else. i think we. should actually keep well away from what is going on in the middle east the people of the region in tunis in bahrain and all these places have shown with great courage exactly how you do get rid of the haters and they have to be allowed to do this in the beer of the

international community of the rule of the people who. knew mubarak right so we're very the people who sold. our arms and weapons which is now using against his own people and it's simply a fact that you cannot trust to intervene we've already seen in iraq we've already seen in afghanistan the terrible mess that the americans and british have made and they really should not be even thinking about trying to intervene anyway here now the latest word from washington is that they are not ruling out a no fly zone this is in contrast to what the pentagon chief said short time ago he said they're doing this would be an act of war it would require the bombing of libya's air defenses the latest word from president obama also was that they were considering all options on the table finance has continued throughout the day today friday that government troops have been firing on rebel forces particularly in the east of the country because leaders say that they will not give in and told gadhafi

steps down the latest word from gadhafi he is as defiant as ever he says that he is going nowhere in a short time fight a free is will begin and then they will finish in several countries around north africa and the middle east there has been a call for protesters to take to the streets today has been dubbed a day of rage and we expect demonstrations and clashes in many around the capital city of tripoli here at the border at the moment it is closed the last time it was open was very great fifty five thousand bangladeshi came through there about sixty thousand people here they simply don't know where they're going or not they doing and the latest word we hear is that there is complete uncertainty as to when this border. will be opened and watch indeed will happen here in the coming few hours. washington is not ruling out the possibility of establishing a no fly zone over libya an idea proposed by its u.k. its nato ally of u.k. or he's or tell you know to go to reports from cyprus where britain has two major

air bases locals here are saying that they have seen a new usually around the two bases that are located here on the island of cyprus they're saying that's a large number of planes have been lending because of the bringing in three forces through the islands in order to be on standby to be sent off to leave however that information has not been confirmed by any of the patients we do know however that so far. were ships have already passed through the suez canal we also do know that some four hundred u.s. marines were dispatched to the u.s. base on the greek islands of crete some major countries a saying that's about the time to impose an air embargo over libya but in order to do that they would have to have a clear mandate from the u.n. security council and russia in that there's pact has

a veto right russia has already spoken against such a decision we do know however that the u.k. soldiers are currently helping. refugees to flee the country but the question remains whether the u.k. intentions are purely humanitarian in the region or whether there is a political agenda to it. when it comes to revamping the damage the image p.r. is the weapon of mass distraction whether it's a bloody dictator or a shady business man they all turn to certain companies to help polish the waiter so he grinned haitians was artie's lawyer and it reports there is no such thing as dirty money. the influence of p.r. companies in distorting the truth is well known in hollywood movie wag the dog a p.r. agent engine is a war to distract from the president still wondering. do should he leave the

country. and sometimes truth is stranger and much more damaging than fiction spin has been crucial in middle eastern politics for many many years i mean spin is what took britain into the iraq war for example . headlines about weapons of mass destruction and in forty five minutes p.r. industry experts reckon the majority of the arab states in turmoil bahrain egypt libya have some kind of representation in a london p.r. firm and the reason they come here and that could regulation while in the u.s. if a p.r. company takes on a foreign government it has to register the fact with the department of justice in the u.k. there's no such rule. if you're a foreign government looking for representation in london you get no further than that contingent based in the building behind me although very cagey about who its client is believed to represent the level of bahrain bellary and exiled russian tycoon but he's got he's going to keep the fact it's also been writing to

journalists in recent days on behalf of the member of the libyan oil family and it's all based certainly representing government elsewhere in the region bellport injured declined to give us an interview for this story but they've assured r.t. in the past that p.r. can influence questionable regimes for the better a country frequently will modify. its actions and its policies in order to prove. what the sometimes. having bad relations with. but that doesn't always happen libya for one has used london's p.r. machine before with misleading results in one thousand nine hundred five u.k. based. our agency will pay four million pounds to try and subvert the evidence that pointed towards libyan involvement in the lockerbie case and this is what has led to all sorts of alternative theories about lockerbie although of course the lives instead point to the fact that al mcgrady in london pheno were actually responsible

so you know how to play these rules they know how to play the game and it's transparency that's lacking in u.k. p.r. information appears in the media but people have no idea who put it there and the only way that one can be really sure about all the information it will be able bodied we had only daily basis is where does it come from and is that person partial or impartial and in that way we get a much clearer idea of what it is that we're being told although there is a new body in the u.k. designed to regulate the p.r. industry declaring clients is still voluntary london's soho is the heart of the p.r. industry in the capital way images of bird nest and the un palatable becomes palatable london's top p.r. firms are known to be working on declared to some of the world's most unpopular regimes but that expertise could be being used to shape the future political landscape for the vulnerable region nor abbott's r.t. . stay with us here on r t still plenty more to come including losing ground and

the anniversary of your guards first flights and in fact the timi two one capsule is also bearing the name of your garden and also will bear his image on the body of the capsule and the cosmonauts are very excited about the fact that they will be flying off into orbit on the end of verse three and they consider it to be a great honor but this point they are going through some examinations and like i said earlier they are absolutely certain that they will perform rather well. on the latest preparations before the next crew serves off the international space station . america's losing the war of words to new players r t among them u.s. top diplomat hillary clinton has lamented that foreign ayliffe language media is putting homegrown news networks to shame she asked congress for more cash to promote the us agenda abroad media professor christopher chambers doubts the money and will produce a balanced reporting. the corporatization go mess to clean up american has
