find out what's really happening to the global economy in gaza reports on. while fighting continues around we are reports of heavy gunfire in the capital are dismissed by the government as simply procrit off the celebrations. unrest in the oil rich arab world sans shock waves through the u.s. economy as the protests see fuel prices soaring also. we are in an information war and we are losing that war hillary clinton throws down the gauntlet to the u.s. media to up its game against other countries or national media outlets including r.t. . and many britons preparing to boycott the approaching nationwide census outsourced to controversial u.s.

firms over fears all their personal info by and up over six. welcome to is he going to live from moscow was nearing the joshie so our top story now media were having gunfire has been heard in tripoli it is unclear whether it has come from rebels trying to gain power or a celebratory gunfire from the supporters of the regime around two thousand program supporters have gathered in the capital square to show their commitments to the ruling leader fifty kilometers outside tripoli clashes between pro and anti-government groups reached the strategic city of zawiya at least seventy people were killed in the around three hundred wounded in the fight and it is still unclear who's now in control of what territory claims and counterclaims from both sides are spotlessly. while this report. on saturday the libyan leader moammar

gadhafi launched a fresh military offensive he's trying to retake some of the towns he's lost in the past eighteen days of fighting there were some seventy people killed those are the latest reports we're receiving and more than three hundred people injured with reports of strikes and live ammunition and growing fears that libya is descending into civil war most of the fighting is in the key towns of libya such as zawiya which is some fifty kilometers from the capital tripoli and the oil rich port of the north now in ruslan north the latest reports may suggest that rebel leaders are in control so you making their way towards the capital city of tripoli in zawiya itself at drawn the gadhafi forces launched an attack they fired a mortar shells they used machine guns and throughout most of saturday heavy fighting happened to their villages what we have from the rebel leaders themselves as they're they remain in control inside of the town and we're hearing from government forces are there in control around the perimeter now this is an

important town because it is so close to the capital and if the rebels are able to maintain a presence there they will have a better chance of attacking tripoli it is interesting though that some of the pictures we're showing you here on our t.v. have actually been distributed by the gadhafi regime it's really trying hard to present its version of events it's using these pictures as proof that its forces are in control in most of these towns in the east it's very difficult to tell from these pictures in fact who is in control on the ground but it certainly is indicative that in addition to the fighting on the ground there certainly is a fight in the media and information war in terms of who is in control of what many of the media in europe and in the united states has been supporting the rebels there have been editorials in major american and european newspapers actually calling on the west to support the rebels and attack gadhafi the latest word we hearing is that the western media is. trying to portray gadhafi forces as

a losing and the opposition forces is winning but as you can see from these pictures it certainly is not clear who has the upper hand and also analysts who are pushing forward the opinion that the western media is so and she could i think because she has taken such a strong stand in the past against western interference in developing countries relations with them the british government is there is confirming that it is considering and is on standby to deploy its forces within twenty four hours and says that these forces will be used for humanitarian and evacuation purposes and not for any kind of military intervention the latest word we have from the u.s. is that it's the russians have lived crease and according to state to be issued they are part of the military build up around libya and we also know that two american planes have landed in they are reportedly here for humanitarian efforts we also know that france of the united kingdom are putting pressure on the united nations security council to make a decision on

a no fly zone possibly reporting their own country so might intervene in the situation in libya want to show themselves in a better white according to john law and director are good for democracy and cooperation in paris i certainly think military intervention is on the cards we know it's on the cards because the government leaders have said they're not ruling it out libya is an important state and the west does want to try to establish some sort of control over the situation its because it wants to recuperate the situation it wants to. appropriate to itself developments which it got which it did not and this year it's a way as i repeat to the west muscling in on the situation and trying to present itself in a virtuous light by bringing crimes or other prosecutions against the libyan leadership. redish opposition labor m.p. jeremy corbin says the repercussions of military intervention in libya could see a repeat of what happens in iraq it's looking very dangerous and it's looking quite

possible that they will launch such an attack with or without un approval and so we're looking at almost a repeat of what happened in iraq and in the early results so i suspect to be largely the same i think the important points are that the reason the great deal of oil in eastern libya and western interests always been about oil and the idea that suddenly the west is concerned about human rights would be a slight variance with the very close relationship they've enjoyed with gadhafi no no fly zone was ever proposed over israeli attacks on gaza any more than any support to the opposition and i get the feeling this is more about geopolitics playing itself out rather than he can for the people. at risk are has their own correspondent for the asia times says that his former allies are walking scared that he'll eventually speak out in the international criminal court against. jimmy

measuring if that's so. many for said would be to call aberration of libya with the glare of the scrawny trio that you know broadcast back to the international community all the shady deals thing called cold a shady financial deals repeatedly specially aid which has invested at least fifty billion dollars simply it's all you interest in the media and the doj your relationship so they're actually a very european government not summation of the us an arms dealers from britain would be a sadistic sure. and you can get more on the developing situation levy on our web site that's our dot com latest news developments and analysis from our experts as well.

the arab uprising sending oil prices to new highs this week it's thought this could be just the start of a very bumpy ride surging fuel costs in the u.s. are threatening to derail the country's economic recovery and as artie's lauren lyster reports the goal of the prize may also be too high for the obama administration. tunisia. egypt. by hurricane. algeria. libya protest in countries seeming to skew one another unrest spreading like wildfire through the middle east north africa only raging in only here rich countries that helped fuel the world's use of more than eighty four million barrels of crude a day. uncertainty over production has set prices soaring meaning the

shock waves from the middle east turmoil are being felt worldwide now the mideast crisis is hitting home for outrage americans as oil prices have skyrocketed so too have the prices you pay for gasoline and now the price americans pay at the pump is threatening to derail the u.s. economic recovery a surge in oil. prices will be the end of the u.s. economy not just an andrew the recovery there's no more bailouts like a reality peak oil expert michael c. rupert sees happening at oil hits one hundred fifty dollars a barrel which he believes is inevitable this year others predicted going to two hundred twenty dollars it's so devastating because oil. fuels more than just cars. it fuels the entire global economy. though there's no doubt that if gas goes to five dollars a gallon for americans asked some predict there would be

a high political price to pay for the obama administration's you know gasoline prices go up and much i for a very long period it could. save your or. your political impact yet there's no denying the u.s. has played a role in the events that have transpired in the middle east every time u.s. president barack obama went to the podium calling for this that there must be reform political social. and economic reforms that meet the aspirations of the egyptian people and calling for egyptian president hosni mubarak's resignation he was hollering for an end to the status quo which means a rise in uncertainty in the region so did leaders way that told it could take on their own economy some argue they don't have the power to their kind of back up try to push their back against an avalanche and i don't think we're going to hear

a lot of success that may not stop the u.s. from trying to take control some observers believe the u.s. may intervene militarily in libya when the reserves are massive under false pretenses of helping protesting people has nothing to do with interest. it has everything to do with the interest of the u.s. corporate oil corporations. its profits either way analysts say the price of fuel going up will simply fuel public rage and the government is largely helpless the american people are going for a very nasty ride and there's no way out of it now but i can tell you the government ongar stands that it's not boring mr r.t. new york afghan president hamid karzai says washington isn't doing enough to prevent mounting civilian casualties caused by american and nato military actions in his country he voiced his criticism in a video conference with president barack obama thursday as follows nato was apology

a day earlier for killing nine children in a van a stamp a preliminary alliance report shows the boys all under age twelve were gathering firewood when they were targeted in an airstrike overall estimates suggest nato campaign in the country has caused over a nine thousand civilian deaths since two thousand and one political activists doubts opens or what he says innocent afghans are becoming mirror statistics of america's so-called war on terror. it's very difficult to translate these apologies into into really meaningful. things to victims' families these are casualties that have been happening for too many years and there are too many civilian casualties the people of afghanistan civilians are the victims of both nato civilian casualties and the terrorists who come with bombings and with indiscriminate targeting of civilian areas and the people of afghanistan are tired

of both the hearts of the people of afghanistan or in the hands of two incompetent players one player is the an 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 intention of this war was to fight terror but the people of afghanistan have become that victim of terror 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 case both the afghan government and the international community are held responsible in the eyes and the eyes of the people of afghanistan coming up in the next hour we've got a special report which investigates why sounds of people are still dying of hunger after day at a time when there is more food being produced and ever before. that

is the complement and this is the creation of the drama school system the global food system is not created to feed the people of the world is created to maximize the profits. you're not trading the actual cash physical grain you're trading promises for grain to be delivered a monster six months or twelve months or eighteen months in the future. for research bodies like labor silver or gold that can be negotiated in order to some degree in. place. yet or. possibly it's not traded now but it could be in the future. hillary clinton has out the u.s. is losing an informational war to foreign media outlets including r.t. this week secretary of state ask congress for more cash to step up america's

halfords to get its message across our scottish account reports from washington d.c. war declared the us is now officially in an information battle with foreign media which provide alternative views on world news views which often running contrast to the coverage of events by the us mainstream media we are in an information war and we are losing that war 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 we are cutting back the b.b.c. is cutting back some five years ago western media outlets including d.t.c. and c.n.n. had a near monopoly in the coverage of world news things have changed since then more and more viewers across the world can into various foreign media to get

a fresh take on events clearly the united states feels on the defensive in part because we can no longer monopolize not only the terms of you know the soroti in these countries but also the terms of the baby 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 or should be the only point of view r.t. presence on you tube is one example almost three hundred million views as opposed to c.n.n. that has around three million archy's constantly growing audience is already an indication to many that the days of media monopoly are over and people demand a multi-polar approach to news in the real commitment to the kind of freedom of the u. verse speech that we really need if we're going to be in a democracy at home and in a you know a community of nations overseas is to many hillary clinton speech

a few weeks ago on freedom of internet seemed contradictory to the treatment that sources like we can leaks are getting us legislators are not crafting a law that would give the administration increased flexibility to go after weiqi leaks and the likes and now the administration is seeking more funding to step up u.s. propaganda efforts abroad 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 did. we're done and unfortunately we are paying a big price for it last year the head of the agency that manages the us government on international broadcasting asked for more money for his department we can't allow ourselves to be out communicated by our enemies the list of enemies included russia china iran and venezuela walter isaacson the head of the agency which runs voice of america among other media outlets later backtracked on this statement isaacson's page for more funding seemed even more unconvincing considering his

agency has a budget of seven hundred fifty million dollars and it's way more than the budget of r t iran's press t.v. and venezuela's tell us more combined probably money alone can't provide global media clout walter isaacson's speech last year sent quite a hostile message to foreign media exposing shortcomings in the us mainstream press secretary clinton statement made it official the u.s. is fighting a global information war and schools and i'm going to start our reporting from washington i want to ask a war of ideas heads up observers say it's washington's own fault for being on the losing end christopher chambers professor of media studies at georgetown university says real news is on its way out in the us due to press on t.v. channel i want to ship by big corporations. the corporatization the 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 there they're going to try to go into these countries and probably try to buy news basically would be a true propaganda arm rather than a news gathering and reporting outlet which is what our t. al-jazeera and the chinese network are going to be yes they're going to have their messages but they're real news networks they are pretty much where c.b.s. a.b.c. n.b.c. were thirty years ago before things fell apart and got

a record. now i was interested in your opinion so why not leave us your thoughts on the media wars our web site dot com. freedom is the basis of russia's future developments a message came this week from president truman the head of the said reforms are inadmissible for the country. bloodwood so we can postpone our freedom should we fear that a free man might use his freedom inadequately yupik some believe that our country's tragic history in the twentieth century was a result of a failed injection of freedom they believe the skeptics who say grand scale reform is unsuitable for the russian people think differently a country should not be held together with tightened screws it is obvious that in

order that it is excessively strict excessive number of controllers does not usually leads to the transfer of goods and not steve victory over corruption or that to degrade nation of management therefore it's extremely important to give the society a chance to equalise itself the president's message came as russia marks one hundred fifty years since the abolition of serve them the decree was signed by sorrow xander the second half her a long struggle for reform in society the country's modernization and liberal changes of the forefront of president of the had its promises since he came to power to get the u.k. is preparing for a nationwide census which is the start of the end of the month the government says it will help provide the services and resources people need but i can action to carve herschel us the fans corporation means many fear their privacy will be violated or their personal data falling into the wrong hands artie's or emmet reports. it's census time in the u.k.

when every household in the country is asked to provide detailed information about their lives to the government so they can keep track of what's going on and who will be in charge of this sensitive data. yes it's controversial u.s. arms manufacturer and lockheed martin and campaigners ranging from religious groups to peace activists to data protection lobbyists railing against it on ethical grounds play on a number of oppressive regimes. for us heavily in the wars they fought in iraq and afghanistan opposed by the majority of people supported by the british government hill vows to boycott the census despite the risk of prosecution he says he won't be alone look he'd makes land mines and nuclear weapons and contracts out interrogation kuantan of a bay although it will be the u.k.

arm that carries out the survey there's still a worry that the information could fall under the auspices of the us patriot act which compels personal data held by any company on systems in the us to be made available to government intelligence the office for national statistics which in gauged lockheed martin maintains it's taken measures to make sure u.s. authorities can't access the data. some will be carried out in the u.k. leave will be held at any point outside the u.k. we're not had martin staff will have access to any personal census data. and only u.k. e.u. owned companies will have any access. but it's that last point that's raise red flags for data protection lobbyists who say that all the private information collected during the census will be available to practically any organization that requests it only use it on the only statute. only use by the

security or intelligence services for national security purposes any use for the pursuit of crime they may use in pursuit of an e.u. community organization so any e.u. rules that information can be passed over so it's essentially any government use whatsoever of competent rouses being a polished and u.k. government agencies don't exactly have a great track record when it comes to safeguarding information three years ago a file containing secrets terror related documents was left on a train more recently the national health service lost the medical records of tens of thousands of people thanks to lockheed martin's involvement in the census it would be hard for the u.s. authorities to lay their hands on that information if they wanted data from the said says it is used by the government to award grants to local councils and recognize new groups in society

a census run by lockheed martin raises grave concerns in britain about ethics and international security if a lot of people boycott that says it will make it ineffective and a waste of money but the two hundred forty million dollar contracts amount will go into looking martins pockets anyway you're an authority long. time wise take a look at some other stories from around the world or at least twenty six people have been killed and twenty injured. when a passenger bus collided with a lumber trog in the southern brazilian state of santa catarina police report a truck driver a was control of his vehicle and a crash into the bus which had forty seven passengers on board and two thousand and seven two similar accidents on the same road claimed twenty seven wives. both were a bar in central taiwan has left nine dead and twelve injured preliminary investigation suggests the blaze was caused by sparks from an elegy torch being used in our
