children of each college who killed too big to know who to put you know so topia to so many children to be killed. and you look times. in serbia is available in on the planet regency. european powers turn their backs on obama and his supporters after the us president refuses to rule out military intervention in libya. and all fears that he may send u.k. could use force to influence what's happening in the country but mainly in deadlock as coach a system on the sit down. british p.r. firms under fire for helping whitewash some of the world's most unpopular regimes including the dolphins. it's not easy being a spaceman just i just ask these guys are through six sit down for a stellar exam in the last hour region of who they've got the right stuff to lead the next mission to the i.o.c. .

we're bringing you news around the clock from around the world and that treasure this is our t.v. it's six pm in moscow fierce battles are reportedly raging across libya between opposition and gadhafi forces with dozens said to have been killed in the town of zawiya west the capital in the town of benghazi thousands of gathered demanding get out these removal on a so-called day of rage witnesses say the largest oil rich port newfies under attack and heavy artillery in the capital tripoli security forces used tear gas in the live ammunition to disperse crowds of protesters who poured into the streets after prayers meanwhile u.s. and u.k. are becoming increasingly isolated as they refuse to rule out intervention in libya germany has dried international voices opposing foreign military action washington massing its forces off the libyan coast. claims it's keeping all options on the

table ready to step in if the crisis worsens artie's policy as well. but i'm standing here on the border crossing between china sea and libya as well as algeria and it 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 hard against the libyan leader moammar gadhafi said he has lost all legitimacy to rule and must step down you also say that he had approved the use of american military equipment to assist in the evacuation of rejection and other refugees from libya relations word from washington is that they are not and is ruling out a no fly zone this is in contrast to what the pentagon chief said a short time ago and he says that 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 washington of course has asked british special forces who are in libya to secure several tons of mustard

gas and other potential chemical weapons that are thought to be in the country there is concern here on the ground as there is in the international community but 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 that were peaceful demonstrators were killed in iraq by a government that is being propped up by thousands of american troops at the same time they have been demonstrations in the rain for weeks now we are proteins have been firing tear gas and shooting on protesters the united states has not come out and said anything of our first many people suspecting because it has the headquarters of its fifth fleet there now the argument that the international community has a responsibility to get involved and stop the duffy. from firing at his people does

not hold that 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 of that time from washington was full of restraint 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 invested deeply here this is why in many an international community says good that the reasoning behind the those in the international community calling for some kind of intervention is motivated by personal reasons rather than anything else finds has continued throughout the day today friday that government troops have been firing a missile forces particularly in the east of the country we believe to say that they will not give in and told gadhafi steps down the latest word from the deaf if he is as defiant as ever he says that he is going nowhere in several countries around move africa and the middle east there has been forceful protesters to take to the streets today has been dubbed

a day of rage and we expect demonstrations and clashes particularly around the capital city of tripoli here at the border at the moment it is closed the last time it was open was last night thursday fifty five thousand bangladeshi came through as i'm talking to you there are about sixty thousand people here they simply don't know where they go what they doing and the latest word we hear is that there is complete uncertainty as to when this border will be open and what indeed will happen here in the coming few hours. that the area just across the sea from libya is turning into a launch site for a possible military intervention four hundred u.s. marines have where didn't create to provide president obama with more flexibility regarding his approach to the situation at the same time britain is considering sending typhoon fighters to cyprus if a no fly zone is given the green right artie's an italian overcoat as more from cyprus. the u.k. is increasing its military presence here on the island of cyprus there are two

military bases here and we have seen a large number of planes landing at the bases supposedly bringing military force to the island now initially was the ukase idea to establish a no fly zone over libya but right now it looks like the u.s. officials are also speaking in favor of the idea of tensions grow high in the region as a two year u.s. warships are already having. the worst of it it's rainy and see they just passed by this so i ask you now we also know that some four hundred u.s. marines are currently located in the greek island of crete and it does look like it's got it doesn't step down the united states is willing to provide military support to his opposition the director of a top u.k. university has quit over the institutions links to khadafi his regime this comes after revelations the london school of economics was involved in libyan donations worth millions of dollars it's the latest scandal in

a string of reports of dirty money infiltrating the u.k. from dictatorships in the arab world war and it reports from london p.r. firms there are cashing in on the rest. the influence of p.r. companies in distorting the truth is well known in hollywood movie like the dog a p.r. agent engine is a war to distract from the president's plan during. to shoot. the pageant. and sometimes truth is stranger and much more damaging than fiction spain has been crucial in middle eastern politics for many many years i mean spin is what took britain into the iraq war for example these crass 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 get no further than fellow passenger based in the building behind me although very cagey about who its clients are israelis who represent the level of bahrain deliveries and exiled trust tycoon bodies that is going to ski but that's also been writing to journalists in recent days on behalf of the member of the libyan royal family and it's all based certainly representing government elsewhere in the region. pot 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 country frequently.

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 a u.k. based p.r. agency with a four million pound. to try and subvert the evidence that pointed towards libyan involvement in the case and this is what has led to all sorts of alternative theories about lockerbie although of course all the evidence to point to the fact that al macgraw in laghman pheno were actually responsible so libyan knows how to play by 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 the only way one can be really sure about all the information that will be bombarded with on a 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 where images of burnished 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 their expertise could be being used to shape the future political landscape of a vulnerable region nor am it forty london. a little later get ready for a brand new trip across the world's largest country. margins closer team heads to the city. we explore how age old traditions and breathtaking landscapes have been friends formed into a lucrative business coming up to you a little later in the program. the. price of. moon and sun moon from feinstein's.

fight through reporting with propaganda. the corporatization go mess to clean of american news has basically thrown out the whole need for news gathering and real reporting in exchange for punditry and entertainment and sensationalism because that's going to deliver the demographics to the guys who pay for the commercials what's happening is we've opened up these huge gaps because we're more concerned with reality t.v. and people arguing and people attacking the president than we are with having people on the ground finding out what the problem the problems are and when you do that you can produce a product that people here and around the world are going to respect the amount of money we're talking about she could literally set up an entire. voice for america on steroids a real state run news network she's not that's not what's going to happen they're going to try to go into these countries and probably try to buy news basically to
