reviewed the latest science. from. the future of. the whole story the media reporting from libya used to blowing the enterprise to out of proportion to get headlines as conflicting reports keep the truth hidden. i mean fears of military intervention from abroad experts say foreign interference in libya is already happening with tried and tested the political will with reason get off its assets. and a massive influx of illegal immigrants from violence toward our countries fills our time most of the sentiments in the european countries taking them in the.

seven pm in moscow i match reza good to have you with us here on r t our top story the fog of war has settled already on going on arrest in libya there are conflicting reports on the number of killed airstrikes by cut off your forces even the number of cities controlled by the opposition last week a wave of reports suggested the opposition was in control of almost the whole country and cut off he was doomed or he's our son of went to opposition controlled benghazi to find out why these turned out to be exaggerations. yes of all the work you comprehensible as it sounds it's present in any conflict just days ago the scariest period for their children's lives today they're taking their pictures in front of detectives the desire to be kept truthful laughing in the face of danger is even stronger in the journalist and the conflict in libya is providing a perfect setting for it on t.v. screens in gaza may look like the center of the rebel resistance the country is

waking to another day of chaos to go off you may have lost about half of this country they watched these bombs also in the skies but in reality it's more like a seaside resort than a conflict zone who kills a few books with journalists the president goes about their daily lives here in boise looking for new things to play that guns are in town for supply. some reports sent from him because he referred to the treatment is to leave it as war nothing comes with zone where rebels are indications that they can honestly be battles with group after forces but an all out war moammar gadhafi is striking back forces loyal to libyan leader moammar gadhafi appeared to be advancing east libya's leader moammar gadhafi has fled the country with rebels professing their readiness to fight good after his regime to the bitter end no wonder news reports a caring forgive sions of it in civil war again as the rebels inability to mount

a fully fledged offensive becomes more apparent so is the in downs nature figure for each other rather than being impartial observers efforts should direct the protesters here in the al-jazeera is one of the crowd it's time for that next live . number so what's one of the first reporters to arrive in ghazi for several days she's been traveling with the rebels about two hundred kilometers west of the city. at some point the pro-government forces opened fire and her crew the focal point of her report there's a war going on and whether we like it or not there is so there is a frontline you know and there are people with guns and there are two sides fighting she's channels know that gunfire and explosions a snake for stronger disease but they also can help to blow things out of recession as a journalist and leave them to report freely from tripoli and all the gadhafi controlled parts of libya some can find themselves sucked in by the rebel side of the story

there are those are just opening up to journalists they just love them and. just whenever they take one city we go with them and then we go into into the other city reporters need to gravel's to here in the opposition's press center and been ghazi internet access is under strict and because here believe will twenty four hours the message is of the war and sometimes finds its way into reports recently saying government forces need these forces a weapons depot in many of these in any one of these cities weapons depot had already been taken over by the rebels and it was a government to give me the rebels took it over when get out of the bug and of course he was the enemy even if you clearly he's a terrorist. forces marched into washington d.c. and it took over. and we responded nobody would call. me a terrorist you know own interests many people think that being

a book or respond to it takes a lot of courage and hard work but actually. it's much easier and far more enjoyable than a routine journalistic assignment especially when the receiving side is so accommodating and the problem hearing it being got beat is that some reporters became not only part of the story but in its main driving force and instead of hoping that full blown confrontation and bloodshed could bury they almost calling for it up in front of a car and see the. american radio stephen lennon says the white house is using the media to put a spin on events in libya. the people ok. east people want something different and you realize that you have a different situation. in the out here you know. they realize if the worst thing they can that was a bit him is west and. gives the west kids control

a big country is racially america it will be much much worse they are very wise to what hands off from america and from the west is going to stay probably ended in america i'm surprised some of you believe it's tremendous the new york times and i literally call the new york times the closest thing in america to an efficient state ministry of information and probably good that it is put out is so graceful rootlets but what is going on in libya what do people want egypt they don't say very much but we split about it you know and you really you. know we already own the countries. the us appears reluctant to directly intervene in the libyan arrest but according to some reports and trying to use other means to help the opposition there are suggestions that the u.s. has asked saudi arabia to airlift weapons to the rebels in our struggle against

gadhafi for more on this i'm joined by art he's got a chicky on joining us live from washington in a so what does the u.s. stand to gain or lose in libya and why is the administration posing pushing so hard for change when elsewhere it appeared happy to let events run their course. well first of all the u.s. has reportedly asked saudi arabia if it can supply weapons to the rebels in being dollars if the saudis have been told that opponents of khadafi need anti-tank rockets and mortars is a first priority to hold off attacks by could on his armor and ground to air missiles to shoot down his fighter bombers the situation in libya is critical as it is because hundreds of people gathered with gadhafi saying he will fight until the last man standing is reported on supply that could come from the saudis saudis or on the request of the united states could indicate there will be blood there will be a lot more bloodshed in libya the saudis assistance again if confirmed would allow washington does this claim any military involvement in the supply chain even though

the arms would be american and and they will be paid for by the saudis it is also being with borders that supplies could be within forty eight hours so we could be some two days away from a full fledged civil war in libya with the involvement of western powers by now we know that the u.k. has decided to send advisors plain tired of people which is for several days now u.s. surveillance aircraft have been flying around media and sort of making assessments and declaring a no fly zone over leaving it is also is one option that's now on the table of u.s. policymakers even though the option means potentially protracted and costly military campaign there. u.s. allies being overthrown across the middle east and africa how interested is the u.s. to maintain its influence in the region. well secretary of state hillary clinton as you know said one of the biggest concerns the u.s. has is leading a becoming a giant somalia that means power vacuum radical forces all around and no more or

less credible power meant to deal with analysts say having that kind of a vacuum in leading it is very inconvenient for the u.s. considering levy is rich with oil it has the richest proven oil reserves in africa it's very hard to predict who will get hold of the reaches if gadhafi is ousted the u.s. once granted gadhafi a mad dog but later joined european powers being. exploited levy is all about now they're dealing with gadhafi is no more an option experts say that you will the u.s. will try to influence the situation in a different way reports say it could very well be a military way through arming the rebels but history shows that the practice of arming the other side of a conflict not only does not stop the violence but inflames it even more. giving us perspective from washington thanks for that report. world affairs expert steven cohen says what's going on in libya won't necessarily bring about democracy the full interview with new york university academic in the next hour here on r.g.p.

here's a preview. united states has the regime militarily in so many countries in my lifetime very rarely has it worked out for the american intervention discredits the alternative to the tyranny of its being reported on because of it appears the pride was overthrown with the backing of the united states in the forces of favor of domestic democracy we're seeing that in addition what we're seeing in egypt and in libya. it's not true these are pro-democracy movements or these are. despotic movements they want to get rid of the dictator but getting rid of a dictator as we want in many countries doesn't lead to superintend democracy that's a process. western governments are frozen the assets of moammar gadhafi and other senior figures in libya's government

a.c.d. aim is to help bring down a government refusing the will of its people because artes or the stroke or its history suggests libya may never see its money again after the international. there are a lot of very big you was sent warships and more troops in that direction fueling speculation of a military intervention and meanwhile western countries may have already launched a war against colonel moammar gadhafi s north african regime most countries could see. freezing over their asses. after the war for the weapons here the foreign assets of either libya the country or khadafi and his family that some estimate to be almost one hundred billion dollars it's believed to be spread across the globe or your money invested through the country's sovereign wealth fund everything from a stake in the company that owns the financial times newspaper to land near the

spanish resort town of more bay area in the relict into homes and of course to the oil company viren x. and billions of dollars of cash in banks throughout europe and the us the question now is what happens to all this money especially the thirty billion dollars the united states has frozen the most ever in the history of this country and this type of situation and essentially cuts libya off from the entire u.s. banking system for now it stays put while the situation is still uncertain for what is certain the president of the united states is now in control of this money which gives him a powerful tool. deal about this money where some of this money. for. whatever the u.s. . is trying to accomplish this is the way that he thinks it's all about control and profit. and empire

empire where the greatest profits come from the ordinary contracts and the oil contracts. they will work overtime to those corporations. to enact these sanctions the u.s. president declared the situation in libya quote an unusual and extraordinary threat to u.s. national security and foreign policy that's not typical considering there is not a clear aggressive action libya has taken against the u.s. as for libya's financial interests analysts say you could look at the history of countries such as iran their assets were frozen in the wake of the one nine hundred seventy nine hostage crisis their money that was seized from iran back in one thousand nine hundred seventy nine has still you know not been returned to the iranians so it's basically time for a ponder pally you know if we can take it away from them we will the money is used most often to pay for the settlements of lawsuit against a leader or

a government or to recoup losses khadafi can likely kiss their money by we took their nuclear capacity away made promises didn't live up to them claim that was a great victory for peace and now we're in a situation where it's clear that oil is at stake the future of the massive sums of money reach for libyan oil is now with uncertain is a divided country it came from lauren lyster r.t. new york. thousands of illegal immigrants are scaping political turmoil in north africa continue to arrive on the southern italian island of lampedusa their presence looks likely to fuel the feeling that multiculturalism has failed in a europe that's also seeing the resurgence of before right now entering into the debate is the german is the new german interior minister who has questioned islam his presence in his country or he's correspondent daniel bushell has more from brussels. islam does not belong in germany according to the country's new interior

the chairman of the senate armed services committee says billions more dollars are necessary for the u.s. to succeed in afghanistan carl levin believes washington should not repeat the mistake of three decades ago when he left behind a power vacuum leader filled by the taliban but our team military contributor you have any khrushchev who fought in the soviet campaign says there is a stark difference between then and now. thirty years ago this soviet army successful it accomplished one of its main mission to build up their professional and again forces and you know why because of the talks and to get a military officer school there we something to die for for their own country for their own peers and for their own armed forces unlike disobeyed military campaign they carry american mission in afghanistan has nothing to neither to officers or nor to afghan people it's look why because of that whole american experience in

afghanistan he's only it down terry whether it's for consultants vultures or for the private contractors or for the drug lords in essence the whole american campaign in afghanistan has nothing to do be an idea fighting against terrorism or insurgency it boils the. on to one thing to procrastinate these low intensity conflict as long as possible and thus for perch eight and expand a unique opportunity for the whole profiteers in the united states and in a van to stand to squeeze a bigger bang from their bucks invested by the american taxpayers you know getting us then. later here on our team will take a look at the use of depleted uranium ammunitions in iraq and elsewhere and its repercussions that our special report.

year you have to see countries of the middle east in importing countries egypt for example which additional resources are russian wheat having to import from more expensive providers like the us are part of the e.u. so there has been a pretty big reaction in terms of international prices and russia is one of the countries which is actually crucial in terms of the export side of the dynamics of the global weak market. well prices are keeping last week's pace as fighting in libya rages on with concerns that the un rest may spread to other nearby oil producing countries brant crude did see fresh two year highs is now come down a bit from those standing around one hundred sixty dollars sixty three cents per barrel that's as w t i light sweet as that over one hundred five hundred five an hour a dollars per barrel investment bankers say the prices higher than the real production cost. for oil marketers are in many ways a perfect democracy my concern in the long term for us is the terminal normally
