shareholders have decided to postpone a decision on whether the british russian jewish venture wants to this is a base in the rosneft arctic exploration deal or in business in twenty minutes. this is r t coming to live from moscow nine am here in marina joshie welcome to the program while levy is locked in bloody battles u.s. and u.k. forces remain on standby amid fears they could intervene as thousands flee the troubled land manny of its residents say they don't want international involvement viewing it as another form of oppression artie's closely reports. this is the boat out of libya but it's also the road that lines the pockets of hundreds of libyans who make their living selling fuel ingenues year fourteen times the price they paid back. the libyan gadhafi are one. and libya long live

from let him stay in power for life. and as much as some may support the duffy other libyans despise the united states while the moment for the u.s. will not enter libya quite right as they are they don't have a good. thing that is libyan for days he's been trying to get to the kitchen is inside the border to check up on his family who are on the other side he knows some of them have been injured the answer he says is not with fire and changing. people libyan people they don't care was. another. i mean like so much in libya but foreign nations seem to be getting a little concerned to what libyans themselves actually want to debate for a no fly zone is continuing and u.s. warships are sailing not far from the libyan coast that really. help libya not for libya based help for the road for the guys this is probably.

if the u.s. mission and other countries case involved it will not be this time that seems like this i used just my vision for people here are against foreign involvement they know well the price is often paid for so-called humanitarian assistance. history has shown that many to me an aid in any war zone is more often than not the need disguised military aid during the war in bosnia it was discarded if you were in trucks delivering aid when in fact transporting military equipment in afghanistan the very weapons and gave to the telephone in the early eighty's came back to haunt us on the following its two thousand and one afghan invasion so it's no wonder libyans with a support it does feel are not united on one issue they want the world and america in particular state alchemists is pussy on t.v. was on the changes in libyan border and out of percentage member of the u.s. house of representatives says if washington intervenes in libya the country will be

lost to terror any all over the middle east north africa you see people rising up and challenging their government the right of self-determination is an inherent right because it doesn't become self-determination or become something else of any nation or beings on one side or the other so the fact of the matter is there are times that intervention is not possible no matter how we march we'd like to do it because if we intervene then what we're going to be going is let's say we intervene and those were challenging mr gadhafi then you could point to that and say this is the united states trying to knock me off and try to create more intrenchments which would cause at least half of libya to be lost and you know oppression meanwhile egypt was one of the countries that started a domino effect of protests rolling into the arab world is still feeling the act of its own revolt hundreds continue to demonstrate with our by their earlier success but as r.t. as a kind of boycott reports there are concerns the uprising may end up costing the

jobs of more than just the president. loading on freedom after decades of protest abstinence education is a tasting their newly found liberties still unable to get enough of with. even the resignation of frost mubarak's close associate as prime minister one of the key demands of the opposition didn't take the steam out of the three squares rally in fact the number of tense each of residents seems to be getting even higher nazmi has been camping on the square for three weeks formerly a special needs educator she quit her job to be here and so far has no intention of looking for a new one we're going to stay here until all the demands have been met the demands are being met one by one but it's slow the process is taking longer than expected the revolution is not yet over but it's already becoming a round trip vendors for paddle he barks to troops just two months ago have now

switched to the revolution in more ability. a lot of people love rebels rattling off everyone else to get a really beautiful larger. town means liberation in arabic speaking the foursquare has become a focal point in anti mubarak's autocratic rule and a few profiteering vendors notwithstanding egypt's revolution comes at a high cost tucker squares packed with protesters again only now instead of resignation demands they're chanting celebrators slogans against revolutionary intoxication about totally natural is costing in chip millions of dollars every day branded as a symbol of free egypt cream square stands in a stark contrast to and now the egyptian attraction the slave built pyramids the rolling crowds have carried away visitors with los revenues already exceeding one billion dollars usually to speech

a million repaid before said problem is. business. off there's a problem. many people here don't believe that car approaches will significantly culture their life prospects for down freedom costs with their ability to feed their families that for now it remains far from certain the business is growing let us know at the moment we have almost like for seventy percent of the clients and most of them are coming from middle east not coming from europe it's not that they don't support their revolution they're just the first to discover it's bittersweet taste and to realize that revolutionary intoxication is almost always followed by had a sort of like an artsy cairo. later in the program we'll be in new york to gauge reaction to the protests there. were people who heard.

the president or harvest finds out how people are viewing the protests from the other side of the atlantic. plus we raced away to jaroslava to see how locals of this time old russian town tackled extremes for. he was praised an i.o.i. is by some despised and scorned by others joseph stalin was called the father of the nation who brought the country through the war locked away in labor camps and heroes who helped him do it fifty years after his death the dispute over his legacy is still loud and clear as occurred to me those are in our reports. and also hitler and benito mussolini joseph stalin some of history's most notorious dictators in three years were adored by the people of their countries. the cult of personality phenomenon has intrigued historians and psychologists alike but the simple sounding

question of how one person exact such influence over millions still does not have a simple answer and something that reminds me of the stockholm syndrome in a way were. asked are you of being. poor services by some birth person you started moving. the law always not with through law but it's a way to save yourself to keep your balance ok the so-called people's father ruled the country with an iron fist and despite the chairs persecutions and executions he was almost worshipped. by the time the soviet union entered the second world war stalin's personnel called was at an all time high men and women all across the country were willing to lay down their lives for only believing that bravery and ultimately victory would guarantee them stalin's

approval but the survivors didn't know is that for most of them life after the war would be much much worse. there was twenty three when he returned home from the battlefields having survived dozens of attacks partisan missions and months in captivity to use proud to be coming back alive procket accomplished what comrade stalin had asked. i remember the march for a small lot of the local women were all standing on the street throwing things out and shouting bandits on her nipple that's what they called for thousands more than i remember feeling then a sort of pride because being all leaders then that some help us close to him and we all wanted. i had that feeling for a long time and to live. in one hundred forty eight and yet there was accused of being a traitor and sentenced to twenty five years in a labor camp the charge was simply he survived captivity which the stones mind that

he had sold out his country for his life and no proof was necessary after three months of torture yet there was ready to sign any document whatsoever. with their i refused to sign a so-called confessions with all the torture they would be through but then they said if you don't sign it will bring your parents here and i couldn't let them go for this so i agreed few months later i was on my way to the polar region in the real labor camp ward eight years later yes returned home and the new secretary general of the soviet union denounced alan's personality called the man who had twice been named time magazine's person of the year had all his carefully sculpted glory taken away. to stay still and evokes mixed emotions with his actions still being debated ensuring in some respect his personality cult still survives.

katherine as our r.t. not. the u.s. military slowly succumbing to drug abuse with the use of sand bag mary while for known to us by rapidly gaining popularity among recruits eight midshipman have recently been expelled from the naval academy for possessing the substance are his military contributor thouse the problem stems from america's long term involvement and again a stand it's been almost a year since their high seas has acquired a totally new connotation for the u.s. navy in march two thousand and ten it was the beginning of the corruption of the u.s. naval academy at annapolis by synthetic drugs since then dozens of the navy midshipman has been separated or expelled from the academy unfortunately it was not an exception neither for the u.s. navy nor for other branches of the u.s. armed forces so in a way the latest drug abuse investigation is only in

a tip of the iceberg of the permeation this and negative influence of the american involvement in afghanistan indeed what could motivate future u.s. navy leaders to buy and to resale the drugs among their peers there it could be several reasons for such a reckless and criminal action and most of this is that the us navy are jealous of the us marines who are enjoying the poppy fields in helmand and kandahar and as a result they just fall back on the artificial stuff situation of the organic murray who want to however it did legitimize all kinds of criminal activity and also legitimize the cult of impunity and profiteering and that is probably a big hidden agenda of the us open ended commitment to afghanistan. and you can always so find more analysis from our military contributor online but

here's a taste of what else is lined up for you there at our t.v. dot com while the u.s. is quick to condemn other countries for the sexual exploitation of minors thousands are being trafficked in america each year. and the next daya says through set for a voyage to the stars nama for sitting down for exams to make sure the cosmin arts are fully prepared to follow their progress at r.t. dot com. also take a look at some other stories from around the world and the man accused of the shooting of a u.s. congresswoman has been charged over the death of a federal judge killed in the same attack twenty two year old jared loughner now faces forty nine separate counts relating to the shootings six people were killed in this gabrielle giffords held a constituency event in arizona in early january if convicted loughner could face the death penalty. search teams in new zealand have confirmed no bodies have been found in the rubble of christ church cathedral and feared more than

twenty people were inside the city's center piece when the devastating quake struck the city last month one hundred sixty five people have so far been officially declared dead although the death toll still expected to rise. with a longstanding leader is already toppled in the arab world and others under intense pressure it's uncertain when or how the turmoil will end this week when journalist laurie hartman is also known as the resident hit the streets of new york to gauge reaction to the protests. did all the insurrections revolutions and uprisings in the middle east catch you off guard this week let's talk about that are you surprised i'm not surprised i am . well thought i'm coming from all around i was seven weeks ago and. i reported bore the political situation in the middle east was very very

unstable unstable one week after the whole thing collapsed in tunisia and egypt you know change was a common trait we all knew change was going to come i mean moammar gadhafi we had this guy it was just a matter of time before these dictators were you know things change people want change people were hurt and people hurt we moved to action but people are avery they moved to action do you think that the world leaders are caught off guard by this. i think they're caught off guard in knowing what how to react because they i believe they know the world is going to be more unstable but they have to support the idea of freedom so it's a mix a mixed blessing for you think all these are going to lead to more on raster more instability yes i believe it's more about power and the unfair distribution of power than it is about real democracy oh i think it's you know does the time make the leader does the leader make the time so that's always like an ongoing question

when it comes to stuff i personally think we have to wait and see this is going to be a good test for everyone in power right now to see how they come out yes but what do you think the effect is going to be around the world when i think it's really not going to make much difference what i hope is that when different people come into power that they'll say you know they'll start treating our people right and everybody in this world we will have the united states will have to be a police country anymore but all the social networking that's going on they can no longer hold their people and if you don't the propaganda that they used to do you think this is something that could happen here or in europe or in other places definitely that's scary you know. so you're prepared for it but i think. it's a little scary to know that pete anyone can have so much influence now i don't want a leader giving me product and i but it's a little unnerving to know that anyone with

a computer can have that kind of power too you have to be smart enough to know what to listen to and what to ignore whether or not you think anyone has any idea of what's to come next the bottom line is that there's no denying this is a time of change. time now to get to know russia close up. some three hundred kilometers north of moscow lies the jaroslava region thousands of tourists from all over the world flock they are for striking beams at a lane all churches and monasteries but it's not just history that attracts people winter means almost thirty seven thousand square kilometers are covered in snow making it a perfect spot for board lovers are deeply in france at the slopes. i

a great event because i want you to be even better than exist but they did before well we have already got to russia with over four hundred children enrolled here termino offers the average middle class russian a chance to realize their dreams as a sportsman and offers the foreigner a chance to see this place for what it really is. locals want it to be their new winter destination one that will build the surrounding restaurants and hotels just like you know this is a front desk of the city variances of people come and spend it's harder you know every year it was shortly expand because this will inevitably affect the number of i didn't go into sports in general and the influences of course in particular. not far away in the historic march in city of new pledge festivities are just getting underway the subway the winter it's massive down on the wall the river powered moscow with electricity throughout world war two its collection of churches greet

tourist spots on the first stop from moscow from the church of john the baptist to the church of prince dimitri on blood built in commemoration of young princeton the trees gruesome death in fifty ninety one the place is steeped in tradition but it has a way of breaking out of that shell. during a season when most cities are pretty quiet these people are making the current of it in the most colorful way possible though not as if i knew it was the whole year i've been i swimming for thirty years and i love it not and there is no need for any of the hopeful habits that are widespread nowadays to set them aside and i don't think they were looking. back at them and now between the skiing and the snowmobiling which they were kind enough to teach me they're waiting for a good burn the end of the world cup races thanks to a frightful wind storm the summer of two thousand and ten ninety percent of the surrounding forest was knocked down locals retaliated by stacking the fallen world

twenty two meters high then registering it in the guinness book of world records they'll burn it into a massive bonfire after the final right now that is competitive sports and i winter sport is making big changes to the community out here and ribbons and here to shed more light on that is local. when you're starting to see as alexander sergey i said a little light on that for us why is it making such big changes to the bands. well we've been developing. to develop every year develops more and more something more different tracks reveals that. we have a local skiers get great opportunity to train. in summer with their own of the center to roller skate so it's great to me and i do it myself

i like it very much alike skis sounds i think a lot of local citizens like to ski on saturday for sports it's very important to your national character yeah yeah of course thank you for joining us and here for close up when de france. trial in just a few minutes a lockout a global food supply and a severe shortages millions face worldwide before that i will take a look at what's happening in business with. fellow time for your business are days and tame k.b.p.s. shareholders have decided to postpone a decision on well the british russian joint venture wants to participate in the b.p. and rosneft arctic exploration the meeting was held in early on friday after it was initially pushed for much from the original date of february twenty fifth due to be

failing to train up the agenda of the next b.p. team came. on march twelfth well include didn't questions that it matters i'm cool see from north capitol says this may become the ace in the company's hand. didn't give the has to pay some dividends and part of the world and they truly do because b.p. is a part of the growth to the team they use the liver there and if you as. to push b.p. to make a decision in conjunction with arctic this worrisome right i don't think it's necessarily going to happen but that's what probably be the most powerful tool in the hands of. shareholders to press the elaborate the season on this. see how the russian market finished friday's session in russia they are testing the myself and us in the red on friday is some profit taking was underway here but

overall the week so far the strongest monitors were still high the mice at school one percent in five sessions and the r.t.s. four point one percent are the ruble has steadily strengthened over the past weeks largely due to rising oil prices but. from b. to b. capital predicts the russian currency to retreat towards the end of the year when the looming elections weighs in on investors' confidence our forecast for the end of the years twenty nine point three so very close to soar to work with think that broadly of the. old four real maker will be created a certain call for the year on the go go for these. broader political uncertainty of elections. and finally more than a third of russian companies claim that have employees that are too smart and whose
