the. mind. or a sense feed in the palm of your. call . the opposition reportedly offers colonel moammar gadhafi a way out of libya amid rumors of foreign military intervention and a u.s. defense secretary joke that romney's close. i think this is let's let's get going ok corresponded in tripoli finds massive support but they could afford the in the libyan capital contradicting international headlines that he's isolated and close to defeat. and new links between the u.k. and libya's government revealed several british universities under fire for engaging with take it off the regime after receiving controversial cash donations.

news around the clock from around the world i'm mad treasurer thanks for being with us here on our t.v. at seven pm in moscow libya's opposition has told colonel moammar gadhafi if he leaves the country now they won't put him on trial but libyan state television has broadcast denials that gadhafi offered to quit if his family was allowed to safely leave the country brian's continues in parts of libya more than three weeks after a protester rocketed archy's policy or has more from tripoli. on the one hand we're hearing from opposition groups that moammar gadhafi is in talks with him they say that he's asking for an opportunity to escape the country to let opposed anything of parliament we each a transition period for him to beat these opposition groups also saying that he wants immunity from criminal prosecution commission to take out of the country large amounts of cash now all of these reports have been rejected by gadhafi who

has denied these kind of claims on state television the opposition also saying that if he leaves now they would not consider seeking prosecution from the international court of justice where as i say we're not hearing any confirmation operates an exact opposite from the gadhafi regime it certainly does seem as if the west you need it was too quick to bury. our huge amounts of public support for him this is a phenomenon that i explored by talking to people on the streets and ascertaining the name just how right and in this case just how wrong the foreign media working apportioned story. a warning on the streets of tripoli i want to say touches in a way because you are in deeming you know you can get more much. more to my mother at the heart of the criticism the portico dusty's warplanes bombed and killed dozens of protesters in the capital city future of libya appears to be on

a knife edge fighter jets have been bombarding the capital tripoli reportedly on the orders of leader moammar gadhafi. but it is. force. guns or something. completely lost it's not the true the truth seems more to be a city of artist is it a business these are hardly the pictures of a city on the brink of war meanwhile libya's capital tripoli is bracing for what for another night of gunfire explosions and rioting eyewitness. this is a war flames had been firing at our positions the first from the air when we invited. for the media to come to tripoli and. to see. reports to clear channel as we said the administration or management of the channel is. what they want from these three course and eliminate or delay

what the what does not serve their purposes which is why people here are angry mom is taking a few days off from his work as an engineer to join the throngs of gadhafi supporters in downtown queens when the i think this pageant despite what's what's going on you know all the people are here it's such a. part of our you don't want to. be one. but sadness it's not just what's being hidden it's also what's actually being said but what we're getting is that you asked. one sided picture of the situation which kills the media with the idea that there's freedom fighters involved in rio and then there's a government regime that's been in atrocious terrorist government for the last seventy this is nonsense he just. didn't get a body and. that's that would be afghanistan. yeah. the bullet is

clearly not in tripoli and just clearly based in media has been a little too quick to myself gadhafi. tripoli. asia times correspondent pepe escobar says the majority of media coverage isn't reflecting how u.n. u.s. leaders might be involved in forming a new libyan government. wheedle norwalk kind of opposition might. if they can actually reach these appears because in this history liberated. you flying absolutely everybody from a progressive lawyer secular people to islam is keeping a low profile so nobody knows what. a new agenda. of government would be. in the minds of people deciding stuff in washington any brussels paris ok so if we go there. prop up the next government would be in charge of the north and africa

will be close to egypt and close to tunisia algeria will be controlling the region and nato will be place this means the west called trolls and north africa so that's the real game that you won't see this ball out in mainstream media for its. international pressure is mounting i could argue with the us considering possible military intervention in the u.k. and france drafting a no fly zone resolution. on and berra saying off the record remarks from u.s. officials are he's going to has more. defense secretary robert gates landed in afghanistan shook hands with a top u.s. commander general david petraeus who greeted mr gates at the airport joking quote welcome back sir flying a little bigger plane than normal you're going to lodge some attacks on leave your something and of quote the u.s. defense secretary responded with a comment by laughing and said quote yeah exactly well apparently the two gentlemen were unaware of the open microphone the world is now

guessing whether that was just a joke or there was a kernel folk truth even though true even if it were just a joke with the situation in libya critical and really verging on a full fledged civil war a lot of people thought that was a highly inappropriate joke mind you this comes from america's top military command although the official position of the us is in order to decide over military intervention the support of the international community the un and nato are now you waiting in the possibility of declaring a no fly zone over libya that would actually involve a large scale military operation including air strikes on media. including strikes on the even air defenses and putting down everything that flies over libya. a vote on a no fly zone could be hard to secure at the u.n. security council where china a permanent member is really cool to the post no fly zone and russia has made it very clear that any foreign military involvement would be unacceptable here's the logic behind the statements made by some western powers we can't allow khadafi kill

the rebels so we need to give the rebels a chance and make the fight kind of even because those things are now put out his armor outweighs everything there's rebels half from russia could for example this kind of intervention even with the best of intentions usually leads to more deaths and destruction than if you let the countries deal with their problems on their own is this monday we've heard reports that the u.s. asked saudi arabia if it can supply weapons to the rebels in benghazi the truth is to be really dangerous history shows that the practice is. i mean the other side of a conflict not only does not stop the violence but inflames it even more especially those arms end up in the hands of radicals americans themselves have estimated that levy especially the eastern part of the country which is where the rebels have reportedly gained control of is his home to a large number of holidays they make up a fifth of walthew hard it's enough to say that one of the rabble of the leaders in benghazi was once the son of bin laden's personal driver and the question is does the u.s. really want back kind of. war columnist and historian

a boy show knowledge from washington d.c. says to asian with libya resembles the build up to previous u.s. interventions this is reminding me every day more of bosnia in the early one nine hundred ninety s. when a clear cut case for intervention couldn't be made and the public was not very much in route for war so one had to be sort of created gradually by gradual involvement and it started with the you know humanitarian of the agents and observers and scouting missions and it continued through the no fly zone and it ended up being full blown war several years later right no means walking the responsibility to protect doctrine is basically going to make it obvious to the entire world that this is a license to meddle doctrine there's absolutely no. possible justification for the united states or even the e.u. to get involved in libya there's just nothing in their charters or just there's

nothing that would justify this. stay with us here on r.t. still to come moscow welcomes joe biden. as the voice president of the united states arrives in moscow the big question is will the two sides be able to reach a mutual understanding of the situation in libya. but first several british universities have come under pressure over their controversial links with the libyan government a public outcry over the nations from the khadafi regime to the london school of economics forced the school's director to resign one of get off the sons had studied at the university or he's a lawyer and it has more from london. details of these connections are emerging all the time the most recent one is a son of gadhafi is his fourth son who was taught at the school of oriental and african studies also known as. the us then following his student ship announced a very lucrative deal with a libyan university where they would give him two hundred fifty thousand dollars in

the region or to teach a finance course. we also know of course about saif gadhafi who went to the london school of economics he received a doctorate from there and then his foundation donated two and a half million dollars to the university the director of course of the university to step down revelation of that donation and we've also heard another university that has declared its links with libya itself ahead of the media finding out that's liverpool john morse which has money donated from libya to run a business school and also a health neonatal care facility there seems to be quite a lot of libyan money floating around in british universities there's a wide range it turns out of four and sports giving money to u.k. universities and according to a report by the center for social cohesion many courses at british universities wouldn't be able to run without this money. include saudi arabia and china and i'll just take you through a few of iran has donated a total of around

a quarter of a million dollars across major universities in the u.k. so in town trees and so out of course that we've already heard about. who is the head of. these programs darren university and he says this is an event organized under the auspices of the deal that they have with the iranian government was monopolized by pro speakers and he also said that money from iran comes with strings attached so there is an enormous amount of concern about this money and how it affects academic independence and freedom of thinking at british universities. saudi arabia has given a total of in the region of sixteen million dollars to british universities and cambridge they've used that money to build fences studies and a saudi prince is allowed to then choose members of the management committee at place. china also around a million dollars. to form cultural and language centers again. sheffield

university and the university of edinburgh has benefited from that money and the chinese government refers to the senses as a policy of its foreign propaganda strategy so really a wide range of money the same suspects in terms of universities appearing a lot but big powerful and important universities across the u.k. receiving money routinely from government. reporting for us from london the us is indirectly offering our populations the feeling of support and it's hard to encourage uprisings that's the view of political analyst at the carnegie endowment matthew rojansky his interview coming up in the next hour here's a preview. if you look at the slogans that those people are using they're not exactly pro western pro-american slogans there's a lot of kind of you know you're anti-american is an anti israel feeling i don't think they generally view themselves as being aligned with the american they're

mostly aligned with their own interests but it is probably true that the united states and others by talking about values like freedom and you know getting rid of authoritarianism have helped to create an environment in which you know those who are coming out on the streets in libya and egypt in tunisia you know feel that they have some international support. don't forget you can always have your say on the stories we're covering on our website today we're asking who benefits the most from the wave of riots in the arab world log on to r.t. dot com and cast your vote. and libya may become a bone of contention between russia and the u.s. america's vice president is in moscow he'll discuss they could out of the situation an issue that both countries don't see eye to eye on biden is also keen to push

forward with a warming of relations between russia and the u.s. with a reset button facing a serious test or he's ever going all of his latest details. this is the first visit by joe biden to russia as the vice president of the united states a lot is one he's going to meet with the president of russia need to be a different prime minister would you in person as well the reset of relations between russia and to the united states is going on for around two years now there are definite signs of improvement and the building of friendly ties but nevertheless the views of each side on some key international issues remain different only be up there is no example is no exception is that soon so the united states is supporting the idea the call for getting involved in two or the a sit in the situation in libya specifically the idea of shutting down the libyan airspace which in reality would mean. libyan planes could be shot down if they take

off if this barrier is your course and also libya and indeed aircraft systems could be neutralized too to make it safe for me to pilots to patrol libyan skies a rush on the other hand as it goes into rational into the situation so we'll have to wait and see if the u. two sides do to keep boarders movie able to reach some sort of a jury to understanding all of this issue and if john biden's visit will continue to stand and she also building calls and from retirees. you can find more on this and everything we're covering on our website our. back after a short break stay with us. if. he is it's easy easy easy easy easy easy easy to see them to. mean to.

welcome to business on sea oil prices remain high as tensions in libya persists however it's more of a risk premium with no real shortage seen so well that's according to the. global oil director for them that's agents whether you're talking about sin is he a libya or any of the countries bahrain for that matter or oman even though people target the loading areas and even when they can the production areas there's more than enough supply out there of crude oil in the market right now so the supply demand scenario is actually fairly stable and also the kinds of production we're talking about losing right now libya is down by a hundred thousand barrels a day or so was i we're losing a million or so barrels a day of production in supply in a market that is eighty five or even ninety million barrels a day of supply and consumption so so far the impact is limited the question every one of the oil market is will saudi arabia have its own problems to worry about over the weekend so that that could change the picture dramatically both from current supply demand and going forward as well soaring food prices are keeping the

world central bankers worried as they try to anchor inflation low crop stocks and poor weather conditions other key factors which are sending costs but add this hope not and will stabilize by the end of the. we have seen our very very solid a secular up train across our cultural commodity prices over the last twelve months and a lot of this is really common the production side downgrades mostly by the conditions we're in an environment where demand has bounced back quite nicely after the recession and we're also finding ourselves in a period which is being characterized i think in retreat so there's still a lot of uncertainty in the market and with. low and so thin you are going to see the markets reacting quite nervously but we do expect the moderation in terms of agriculture prices in the second half of this year so we do think a lot of the good news in a sense is already in the price. foreigners who try to make a living in russia of long realized for all its ups and downs during business or can prove very profitable. has been following the progress of one french
