the end. when i mean edge. management and i was. probably brought in that they could offer courses their fill of the pride in trying to leave their both sides agree on the one thing they urged western powers to keep out of the call to play. was president komsomolskaya leave the risk to new heights with missile defense global trade and media on the agenda of. the london commuter town that is increasingly a crossing point for extremism his residence on the edges of draws both radical islamist and nationalist. and

a peaceful public workers damn all translators gathering of violent thugs in the eyes of the us news channel you're to spice up its agenda. what you are see coming to live from moscow with marina josh the violence in libya has reached a grim milestone more than a thousand or thought they have died in the fighting between rebels and government forces broke it off the troops have reportedly retaken the strategic city of zawiya fifty kilometers west of the capital while opposition leaders are calling for the u.n. to recognize its control both sides are urging foreign countries to stay out of the conflict well arty's a convoy go isn't one of the rebel controlled cities we can cross to her alive and get the latest so excited are there any indications that leah might stabilize

anytime soon. while not at this point in my reading of the karate classes there on the town of russell i know still continue and pretty much the only new development that we have seen so far. maybe i'm conning out of the opposition side that suggested that i get off we should leave the country within the next seventy two hours if he if the opposition. promises to allow him to leave the country freely and not to pursue him for his crimes great big obvious start has already mockingly dismissed this for saying that it was just another indication that big protesters are losing ground now gadhafi himself briefly appeared in front of the t.v. cameras to guess today he didn't make or at least no public remarks of him have been released so far even though he appeared to be in pretty good spirits in the

meantime russia today had an exclusive access to his foreign minister who continue to press the same lie that big r.p. government began after the regime has been pressing all along that this uprising has been exported to leave there from abroad here's exactly what's a sad. little more once it's clear that it's a will. has contacts with great powers and he supported by the. greek which is attracted by. the u.k. has pizza released its well you can see she's and offered help c.j. she is with the u.s. . compete for the right to. resources and this rivalry is going on. now the opposition of course denies this claims in private they started. a recent virus meant to be a british intelligence services who are group here so even ghazi

a group that was briefly are arrested. the back home local leaders say that they do not want any foreign intervention in fact they say if indeed it happens it will play directly into the hands of the. and they're very adamant that the surprising whatever it's successful on north remains to be seen as an achievement as it can even after all of the levy of people now because office live continues to lives that these uprising is not only exported from the rest but actually that it has to . get off his foreign minister yesterday. essentially said just that i think time being is supporting terrorist organizations here is certainly very here's what he said. but journals are gangs encouraged by these people. and iraq could be seen with the security agencies are behind the film kind

of proceeds with these to. see the destruction will increase the situation will be like in somalia. now before i mean gore is still going on around the towns of bragger and ras lanuf after l.-i being starved to their prizing round the opposition was able to capture martial is to leave the uprising has stalled and it's still on clear where exactly the opposition and government forces are in control both sides are claiming control of various locations you mentioned. the forces that they have they have now in full control of the city of the wire which is about fifty kilometers out of tripoli but at this point we still cannot verify this information in the quasi had numerous examples from both sides would claim control of certain locations. or something

here are in a lot of the rebel controlled cities there so what's happening where you are. but i'm in the city of the gods of the second largest city and the stronghold of the opposition obvious. life here in the city goes on as normal as far as it can be people go around that business they're also acutely aware of the need to mount a counter of parents if they get out of the get out few forces and they also are aware that these uprising may be losing momentum and some of the opposition leaders told us today that they're now up to regroup to accumulate all of their resources and the bay have to mount an offensive against the town of third reaches the hometown of gadhafi and his tribal stronghold which is right in the middle of the road cheerfully and when guys are there suggesting that these are facts it may

come closer to next week. or not the opposition forces will be able to mount these contra friends if you still remains to be seen that army is still. pretty much just enjoy and they have reference where they're very poorly trained but at the same time the only thing that i would say is on their side is that if you use the very genuine enthusiasm and the desire to leave a very country from the get out the regime and they're very creative in trying to find new means of finding it for example they have to have a armor sense that they're using a lot of pickup trucks that they go in the process years here's exactly what i mean our next story. they call it the vehicle of the free because trucks have long been popular in the desert but there will drive power easily cut

krista tree tristan's is to believe you may be one of the very few places in europe that seems to have tried to even the state of texas people here like this car for it's some ability versatility and strong engine and it's these fascinating. charges that allowed the uprising in eastern libya to pick up steam cletus father bought this chart a few years ago for his family business his son a twenty five year old economics student now sets out for the front line says if it's a very good car especially and those are without a sedan i wouldn't be able to use it when our can go and fight for my country. ever since the uprising began almost three weeks ago columns of rubble pickup trucks have been crisscrossing the desert around in ghazi rebel say the vehicles in the billets he allows them to dodge attacks from pro-government forces and has more

than once saved their lives we got thrown by bombs. from the third row that we care and we were trying to escape and cumbered. get everybody through or give me these old pieces of soviet armor have been rusting on the main in the increment of the ghazi ever since the rebels took over the city they now serve as a playground for kids and symbols of defeat for the despised regime. this man was among hundreds of young officers who in the 1980's were sent to soviet military academies by good af his government now a staunch critic of the libyan leader he says tanks like the gadhafi regime have a long while to leave their days. all this heavy armor is now dated that's why pickup trucks came in so handy with slight modifications that can easily be converted to code around rocket launchers and machine guns utilizing the utility vehicles for rapid attacks is hardly a we've been in the engine pickup trucks have long been

a feature of mortar and warfare you see tend to see patterns and certain vehicles are used by the u.s. military in the u.s. government so it was in afghanistan before it's in afghanistan now it's even in afghanistan we assume will be it was used supplied to pick up trucks that help afghan insurgents fight soviet troops three decades ago now it's sleepy and behind the wheel and they're at a crossroads wondering which way to drive their country next summer boy or at sea when ghazi. political writer tim gatto says the u.s. and some european countries could be using humanitarian issues as an excuse to invade libya for its natural resources. oh that what they're doing they're saying that. he is killing all these people you know all the rebels and civilians on the ground and they want to there's a humanitarian excuse to save libya but meanwhile if there are fewer people dying

left and right and you haven't heard anybody say they want to send military force to dark for you because they are poor it is now. i think as dave said britain and france are going to use this in as an excuse to recolonize libya and take their own lives i think. will be a first step military operation against libya because then it will provide excuses for them doing a american buying that shot down and. where they shot on one of our shared. just an excuse to invade them because the no fly zone starts with a military operation and i believe they're just looking for an excuse to go into libya and. yeah just. look at us and say where is the third middle eastern country this is the third arab country that we. well later

this hour a former british british ambassador to libya talks to r.t. oliver miles tells us that manny of the stories coming from libya don't ring true with the real situation and talk of a no fly zone is premature and here is some of what we'll hear later. right from the beginning of the conflict and it would have been stories of an attack on the civilian population but i don't know of a single authenticated case i think we've all probably had the experience i don't myself. the media correspondents are telephoning anyone they can find in libya and the story you get from everybody is we're right here where i am the same shooting and it sounds nasty but i'm not going outside to look and yes i have heard stories of this but none of them in my area that seems to be the general picture so i don't believe it really i think is just proportional for the moment to talk about a live show. us the vice president joe biden is in moscow two years after russia and america decided to

reset their relations he was one of the key drivers of the change in direction and wants to upgrade what's already been achieved so never before seen a little our discussion in which i was following his visit and as i said moscow right now well because we know what's the significance of biden's visit to moscow. well marina joe biden's visit moscow it's a gentle definitely be robust because it was the u.s. vice president who two years ago introduced the famous phrase push the reset button describing obama's efforts to improve relations with russia so these meetings in moscow both an attempt to see where relations stand meet a way through president obama's term and also to try to further progress in pushing these terrorists there are still many touchy f. airs. on the table between the two countries the contentious issue of missile defense in europe what efforts to bring russia into w t o the world trade organization that's to name just

a few of course joe biden will be discussing these two top picks in particular with the president and the prime minister and many and many more now as far as me sergeant fancies concerned south three years of opposition the u.s. finally agrees to include russia in cooperation with nato over a plan over plans to build antiballistic missile installations on the european continent well russia in for a long time has been one of the biggest the returns in relations between moscow and washington because russia believed it wasn't over at a proper level and not a good level of cooperation on that each year now the u.s. officer reports that as early as by the end of this year the u.s. could sign an agreement with russia on joint work gone and to sell a defense in europe now as far as another tochigi was concerned russia's accession into the w t o. has sort w. tailed session for for a decade and a half not been officially over

a dozen braun's of talks all the talk because the u.s. openly supports russia's accession but most go wants more than just rhetoric from the u.s. and one of the first things we know washington could do most of the believes is council being famous jackson very commandement one of the romulans all. the cold war times i pull up or a meeting with the president and the prime minister must go chill biden will be also having a launch with the u.s. business leaders together they'll be traveling to skolkovo this is the place where the russian government plans to build the russian version of the silicon valley. well that's where there is speculation about what biden's real objective skidd be take us through some of those suggestions and the reaction has been getting. before joe biden arrived in moscow there was indeed speculation in the media about the real papa saw the u.s. vice president's visit to russia had one of the popular versions was that joe biden's visit is a sign that iraq obama supports president if in next in the country's next

presidential pull out of the us office dismissed those claims shortly after they appeared in the russian media saying bad stressing that apart from meeting with putin and medvedev joe biden will be also holding separate meetings with the civil society leaders and with the opposition leaders of russia any of whom could be a potential candidate for the top job in a year from not one will most definitely be on the table in talks with the current political powers of russia the president and the prime minister will certainly be the current police go crosses in the middle east and in northern africa but leave yet is the court to stop it now as the u.s. together with the u.k. and crowds are considering posing a no fly zone over the country and if the ban is imposed that would mean that any medium at proff could be shut down should it takeoff and also add to at cross systems all media will be neutralized to make it safe for nato planes planes to

patrol the area russia's against those plans russia has a veto on the give security council so well one of the treats one of the aims of these trip to moscow by joe biden would definitely be in a town to try and get. support from russia of this very delicate issue on monday russian foreign minister sergey lavrov reiterated moscow's position that no into international intervention. should take place when it comes to domestic affairs all right kareen thanks very much indeed for bringing us to something unfolding the story for us there joe biden's visit to moscow. and watching our t.v. and our if you dot com our web site is updated around the clock with all the news and analysis we're covering here here's what else is there for you. welcome to russia the visa changes which mean foreign workers for and work will have to leave their families behind. them be careful where you drill shellshock for residence and

apartment building out for a second world war bomb is this covered in a wall the details are at our team dot com. now in the wake of the swedish suicide bombing british police tracing the attackers history fear terrorist cells are more deeply rooted than they thought and it's brought the spotlight back onto one town which has drawn anthony for its links to extremism not only did the stockholm terrorist live there but it was also the start point for the london two bombers final journey today its residents are increasingly on ash as are his lore and i discovered. mosques hit jobs and how will meet shops a scene straight from the bazaars of the orient but this is luton north of london

home to some twenty five thousand muslims of british and other origins one of them was time or abdel wahab al abdel better known now as the stockholm bomber abdul qadeer pash knew him and describes a volatile character jetted by the community at large but he was here he was challenged his ideologies is think these were challenged we challenged him and when we realized he wasn't we exposing to everybody every member of this part of this muslim community. so he got up and walked out but we never saw him again the next they heard our abdullah had blown himself up in sweden and that's just the latest claim to infamy for luton which is fast becoming known as a hotbed extremism breeds extremism and in steps the english defense league committed to protecting england from what they see as a wave of islam is a leader tommy robinson believes he's walking where others fear to tread we have

called the chip market. with great concern in our community and we need somebody to voice and in charge politicians are not doing their own thing pretend save the e.t.l. kulu to mare home all the others say their roots are in football hooliganism they recently held their biggest ever march through the town ahead of which robinson says the police told him his life was in danger you been in for years they may be appropriate if you leave the area for the foreseeable future it's out of use and has undeniable links to islamic extremism including most recently just plain common you spent time here and that in time leads directly to the rise of groups like the e.t.l. who believe the indian is under threat meanwhile the people of luton see their town in the headlines because of extremists from. it cites the facts the towns and peace says the vast majority of military and ins live in harmony and a distressed by their homes image but we currently face in cakes and in harmony to

stand quietly peacefully and sherry that they forced forced maturity is this town and in this country face to no police do no work so this organization we do not want them here to stalk a bomb as family claims england are turning him from a noble boy into a fanatic some points to unemployment and social deprivation as the reasons for the extremes found in luton passion plays the blame squarely at the doors of the government before nine eleven we never had these make these type of issues who this is develops is going to leaven the governor's foreign policy as we start with this up various iraq you know that you know an illegal war killing women children so i was all for going to afghanistan you know carpet bombing indiscriminately meanwhile was thousands of miles away make their presence felt in luton where every so often shopkeepers board up the town center and prepare for the hurrican of extremism to

pass through your emmett's r t luton. fortunately live from moscow with some take a look at some other stories from around the world and yemen's capital soldiers used tear gas and rubber bullets to deter students protesters calling for the president's to quit almost one hundred were injured many seriously when the army stormed the saudi university campus a few hours earlier a riot broke out in the capital's main prison in which a dozen guards were taken hostage yemen has witnessed intense protests in recent weeks her dogged by events in egypt and tunisia. a million fish have turned of dad at a marina in california the sardines entered the harbor overnight and apparently depleted the water of oxygen and suffocated it's thought there could be a half meter pile of dead fish at the bottom of the harbor although that may have a bumper feeding frenzy for pelicans and goals vishal say likely to set them back about one hundred thousand dollars. out tens of thousands of teachers and doctors

have been protesting in the u.s. state of wisconsin for three weeks in a row now and they are against the governor's plan to remove their union rights which help them fight for better wages and job conditions their actions have been peaceful which has earned them police praise but as he's an associate explains that's not how the news channels there see it. these are some of the faces of the wisconsin protests mothers teachers and students but according to fox news the people protesting i'm sure i'll get a flurry of e-mails calling for me to apologize for naming them then bullies but they are and i won't apologize for it but that's what they are in reality there was no bullying going on that was certainly the case when archie was on the ground in february as the protests were peaking even though the. demonstrations i mean what's been going very. chaotic rioting actually not using.

some of the waiting there might be. and there right as workers that has remained the case for those who have closely followed events i know for a fact that there has been no violence whatsoever in wisconsin i mean you know i mean aside from people stepping on each other's toes accidentally there just hasn't been a police even issue to thank you statement of protesters for being peaceful but according to fox news channel the demonstrators have been an uncontrollable mob not a terribly civil or classy group of people profanity bull garrity and pretty vile behavior and these are nothing but. always the nonexistent violence was taken to an extreme but the spin of an alleged attack on a fox reporter ok let me let you know who seem to have seen it coming that way you get it was great as you can see there the utter lack of civility civility and the harassment of reporters there from

a video posted online it became clear that nothing close to harassment have taken place but it was too late to stop the infamous fox in there pushing him there showing him apparently one even him pushing it even further the so-called bullies came out to protest in a cold snowy winter a more violent protest video or featured by bill o'reilly had paul. trees in the background turning the channel into a cartoon show in the breeze and nature of this propaganda what is sad and tragic is that ninety percent of fox viewers will have no idea that was faked and they will think that it was true another field trick was to reverse polling numbers to support the party line of the channel sixty four percent in favor and meaning teachers who had to take a sick day at school to be part of the fight for their own rights liars but it's no excuse that is no excuse for lying to children but the ones doing the lying are

actually defaces americans t.v. screens since the show must go on and that he told me she hates me because it makes her feel that physically what you know you're watching hand in hand with the lies go on and on and on and stacy churkin archie new york. well brings us up to the here in r.t. and business news is next with karina. i've been welcome to our business news from r t russia's economy is seeing a windfall from a steep rise in global energy prices that's on the back of instability in the middle east and north africa now rather also producing cartel opec is considering an increase of production to those declining world output say the situation could help russia win new customers in asia. but this comes at an interesting time for russia because in the last couple of years in the last year in particular russia has made great strides in supplying oil to the far east particularly through the

eastern siberian pipeline and through the port of cosmonaut there and into china you know i think so far child russia's had a little bit of a p.r. battle on its hands because most asian consumers which after all is the growth market tend to prefer supplies out of the middle east because they're known for being stable and reliable this these events of the last few weeks that really caused a lot of importers to pause for thought degree that the japanese the koreans and the chinese and i think it's making them more favorably disposed to building up a relationship with russia where they might not have done before. now let's look at the markets now most asian stocks are up in tokyo the nikkei by a faulty ends value against the dollar has gained over one percent after saying it's targeting a twelve billion dollars profit within two to three years hong kong stocks picked up some pace by the rosy earnings outlook from these lenders and the us and markets and the russian markets start trading on wednesday after today break the higher oil prices and the strengthening ruble are likely to dominate investors' mood right

with netscape from uni credit securities also says it's good news for the rest of concealers the ruble continues to strengthen obviously that's going to prove very supportive for a lot of the russian consumer names definitely getting more optimistic about making need x five going forward the banks will benefit indirectly from the strengthening ruble still likes her bank right now but of course i would expect for some of the steel producers to come under pressure being that they have to pay the majority of their fees locally here in rubles and they have to for any of the importing prices will be would be dollar denominated so for now germany just other one for more business. the books. the book.
