combe. violence between libya's pro and anti-government forces shows no signs of letting up but they are united on one issue opposition to foreign intervention. europe takes in an influx of immigrants from north africa but one british pound already struggling to deal with the tensions between a large muslim community and angry nationalists. plus a unifying issue or a new stumbling block finding common ground over libya expected to be part of discussions during u.s. vice president joe biden's visit to moscow. and oil prices are rising yet again as tense in the middle east north africa because cysts we are looking at the opportunities this is providing for russian companies and of course the windfall

profits that the government is receiving in twenty minutes time on business. news around the clock from around the world i'm at treasure you're watching our t.v. it's five pm in moscow in libya more than a thousand people are now thought to have died in weeks of fighting between rebels and government forces even so all sides have told foreign forces to stay out of the conflict though that hasn't stopped the u.s. from putting its military on alert to intervene or the u.k. and france from pushing the u.n. to back a no fly zone or if you correspondents are inside libya. has more from the opposition stronghold in benghazi and policy or reports from the capital tripoli. at least we know that he find. himself.

just yesterday tuesday here on this hotel where i'm talking to you from the. two hundred journalists waiting for some eight hours in what we have been told would be a great sense in which he would say something he said nothing and this kind of erratic behavior would really know what he's about to say what he's about to do is certainly something that the rebels themselves are facing in terms of how to deal the situation on the ground because now he did go on state television where he did once again make foreigners typically the greatest instigators of mine and he said that they were backing the variables and that as such they had to be brought to chance it was very much the same message me with the foreign minister mr who said he said well. my foreigners. know what model it's clear that it's a plot the proof is the group has great powers and is supported by them first of all by britain which is that the oil reserves the u.k. has paid several visits negotiations and offered help the same situation is with

france and the u.s. great growers compete for the right to own oil and gold resources and this rivalry is going on there is a new push on the international stage for flight certainly britain france. because for on the table like the fact that it has been rejected by the arab league by russia france and like turkey i know tries their own might against all planes or not it's important to note that you for snowslides and doesn't need it it seems increasingly likely that riteish it will have a limited and kept. quiet any kind of ground offensive or. possibly launched by its troops at the same time nato has begun a twenty four hour immelt surveillance over. now the. information about. these that. they can beat is to

intelligence. conducting these tools and. we also know that if that's all he. is. trying to gauge as. the blockade might be needed on the other hand it might simply be an excuse for some kind of military intervention or i thank you for that report it's clear that gadhafi doesn't want foreigners to intervene let's turn now to our he's our son of boyko in benghazi so how are the rebels reacting to the claims that they are being backed by the west now the opposition of course denies these claims in fact they started. a recent survey of being a british intelligence services our group here in ghazi a group that was briefly are rask. back home and local leaders say that they do not want any foreign intervention in fact they say if indeed it happens it will play you directly into the hands of their very adamant that these surprising for their

rights. are not remains to be seen. as a genuine after all the. people that majority. do not want foreign intervention because that is in iraq what washington does it is through establish control over all reserves which constitute billions and billions of dollars of crude oil companies some of the leaders told us today that they're now. all their resources and all of a half. of the town of third. or not the opposition forces will be. non-base contra still remains to be seen that army is there a lot of this in korea and they help our presence because they're very poorly

trained at the same time and the only thing that i would say is all there is is that. they're very creative in trying to find new means of fighting and there's a great great 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 conquer the tree tristan's instantly be maybe one of the very few places a nerve that seems to have a peak of trucks that even the u.s. state of texas people here like this car for is some ability versatility and strong action and if this fascination with trucks that allow their pride thing is to leave here to pick up steam cletus father bought discharge a few years ago for his family business his son twenty five year old economics student now sets out for the front line says any of it's a very good car especially in those with

a sedan will be able to use it or you can go and fight for my country. ever since their rising began almost three weeks ago columns of rubble pickup trucks have been crisscrossing the desert around in ghazi rubble say the vehicles in the village he allows them to dodge attacks from pro-government forces and has more than once saved their lives we. were promised roads that we. were trying. to get everybody through or give you these old pieces of soviet armor have been rusting on the main embankment of been gazi ever since the rebels to cover the c.g. 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 were in the 1980's were sent to soviet military academies by get off 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 but. all this heavy armor is no did it that's why pickup trucks came in so honey with slight modifications that can easily be converted to trying to round rocket launchers and machine guns utilizing the utility vehicles for rapid attacks is hardly a libyan invention pickup trucks have long been a feature of mortar and warfare you see tend to see patterns in 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 soon will be it was you supplied piece of chalk that helped afghan insurgents fight soviet troops three decades ago now it's sleepy and behind that wheel and they're at a crossroads wondering which way to drive their country next some boys are at sea been gazi been. used foreign policy chief has reaffirmed unions a termination to stop the violence in libya with more sanctions expected on friday

but political writer tim gado says some of the european nations and the us are being hypocritical when they talk about humanitarian issues in libya. i know what they're doing this 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 invade libya but meanwhile in daraa where the people dying left and right and you haven't heard anybody say they want to send military force to darfur. what it is now boy i think it's the agitation britain and france again uses that as an excuse to wreak on eyes libya and take their own lives and i think that by. would be a first step and a military operation against libya because then it would provide it still is for them doing a american buying that shot down and. where they shot it on one of our shared so

we'll. just give them an excuse to invade them because i know lies on that starts with a military operation and i believe that they're just looking for an excuse to go into the and basically going to look good the united states they are going to look at us and say oh this is the very middle eastern country is the third arab country to meet even basic during this period of unrest in the arab world saudi arabia america's staunchest ally in the region has been largely spared in part thanks to a strictly enforced ban on public protests later today artie's paedo of valen gas to discuss the what the future might hold for the middle east richest nation crosstalk coming your way later here's a preview. the growing sandstorm in the arab middle east as change sweeps the region to saudi arabia immune to outside influences u.s. president barack obama says he supports democracy and the aspirations of the people

does this apply to the kingdom of saudi. two years after russia and the united states pressed the symbolic reset button in their relations vice president joe biden and moscow his visit is seen as a chance to check the progress of the reset especially with the difficult issues of libya and membership obstacles or he's a korean gauchos following the events. put was actually joe biden who first introduced the phrase which has become legendary to push the reset button to describe obama's efforts to improve relations with russia now two years old this visit is aimed at assessing where relations stands made ways group president obama's term and to try to put the progress in this recess the timing of the visit is perfect it comes on the hills of the success with a new strategic arms reduction treaty though some very touchy issues are still very

high on the agenda between moscow and washington like the contentious issue of missile defense in europe after years of opposition the u.s. finally agreed to crude russia in negotiating with nato on an anti a ballistic missile plan for europe which the u.s. believes could be needed if iran comes up with nuclear weapons but russia was to be offered an adequate level of cooperation on that turns for many years the store pick has been one of the main he returns in relations between the two another touchy issues w t o mosco has sold w to accession for it for a decade and a half now it's way more than any other member of the organization and of course the crown expects from its washington partner more than just rhetoric on that there was wide speculation indeed in the russian media regarding why joe biden is most scared and one of the popular versions was that the treaty could be seen as a sign that barack obama openly supports president medvedev in the country's next

presidential poll however the u.s. office dismiss those claims and said that it's not up to them to influence russia's domestic affairs and that they also stress that apart from meeting with the current political leaders joe biden will be also holding talks with civil society leaders and with the opposition leaders any of whom could be a potential candidate for russia. it's talk job in a year from now to put those speculations aside what so will most certainly be put on the table in talks with the prime minister pushing them presently dative aids the current police school crisis in the middle east levy is very high on the agenda it's a very pressing me she has the u.s. is considering imposing imposing an no fly zone over libya and of course the u.s. needs russia's support as russia has a veto on the u.s. security council without it saying yes to no fly zone he could not be enforced.

thousands of muslim refugees have been scaping violence in north africa and found their way to europe but what will they find there but what they will find there are nations already struggling to live with their own immigrant populations in a british on a large muslim community is now being confronted by a strong far right centered archy's lore and it has more. mosques jobs and how 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. better known now as the stockholm bomber abdul qadeer baksh knew him and describes a volatile character rejected by the community at large when he was here he was challenged his ideology is thinking we're challenged we challenged him and when we realized he wasn't we exposing to everybody every member of this part of this muslim community. because we walked out we never saw him again the next they heard

says the police told him his life was in danger of being an oyster may be appropriate if you leave the area for the foreseeable future the town of lucent has undeniable links to islamic extremism including most recently the stockade bomber we spent time here and that in turn leads directly to the. right it breaks like the e.t.l. you believe in good baby it's under threats meanwhile the people at least in see their town in the headlines because of extremists from both sides of the fence the towns and peace says the boss majority of ten years live in harmony and a distressed by their homes image but we can do this in peace and harmony to stand point straight peacefully and show that the force for security has this town and this country face to no police to do or accept this organization he did not want them here he still came thomas family claims england for turning him from

a normal boy into a fanatic some points to unemployment in social deprivation as the reasons for the extremes found in luton packs lays the blame squarely at the doors of the government before nine eleven we never had these make these type of issues all this develops is going to let it go it was foreign policy that's what spots with iraq you know it you know illegal war killing women children so it's awful though it's afghanistan you know carpet bombing indiscriminately meanwhile walls thousands of miles away make their presence felt in looted where every so often shopkeepers boarded up the town center and prepare for the hurrican of extremism to pass three . lisa. thrown out of some other stories making headlines across the globe thirty six people of the film almost a hundred injured after a suicide bomber struck a funeral procession in pakistan witnesses say a teenager detonated himself as hundreds of anti taliban militia to hold prayers

is risky business as the founder of wiki leaks found out and even in this dangerous field there are a few veterans lauren lyster takes a tour with one old school whistleblower to see the hidden side of new york. a winter's day rendezvous with an unusual tour guide and critic critic we are here with john young he started the website or he got to the game about ten years before wiki leaks did write releasing classified and secret documents of governments from all over the world on his site and another thing that he does is he goes all over photographing what you call sensitive sites right here where word near-side right now he photographs them and put them on his website for the world to see and he's going to tag along and he's going to show us new york city through his eyes we begin outside the federal courthouse where terrorism suspects are tried photos john is published of places like this as well as the police and judicial headquarters known as the ring of steel where he's taking us now have led the f.b.i.

to visit him and critics to say he's putting national security at risk in the contrary as it should be sure there's a risk to our society this is the third world the tourists are killed notice all the burghers john says post nine eleven america has amounted to a buildup of secrecy seen all over areas like this in what he calls security theater. at the. time you don't there's an officer around every corner that wants to know what we're doing they claim they're going to through as you will chose to trip john opposes the fortress looking buildup like this secured entrance outside the prosecutor's offices he also thinks in this particular case it's a de quoi i go there to prosecutors are going off. john is an architect by trade so he reads buildings like books and the biggest name he sees coming out of this area is the money being made these are huge huge huge big call them government operation but they're huge because they should have got huge concord. just down the street

this federal building houses the f.b.i. there's an underground driveway for a cage the purposely put them up but john has discovered it's not all it's. the middle as it seems you can go to the cafeteria and you can sure. you know despite all of these discoveries there is one place john hasn't found a cia office next stop wall street but first reported leave the world's largest repository of gold yes even more than fort knox house mostly for other countries behind this wall of the new york federal reserve eight feet of concrete there's nothing for someone to walk to get it but much gold and filming around the financial center of arguably the world we are met with skepticism the third officer of the day. nonetheless the tour goes on wall street brings a cobblestone pavement to make it look more and more security if you get into it you see that a lot of security you should go there because not much financial action truly

happens here anymore john says the point of seeing the security firsthand though is to question more should we really be talking just want to go to the show building operation which i'm trying to mislead the hyperbole about this through. all these recalls so if you try to not to include all the information is out there go look lauren lyster r.t. new york your well of the meeting every day goes up next to give us all the secrets of the business world stay with us. no secrets really it's all open information open source russia's economy is seeing a windfall from the steep rise in the global energy prices that's on the back of it's the been seen in the middle east and north africa oil producing cartel opec is considering increasing oil production boost declining world output however analysts say the situation could help russia with new customers notably 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 eastern siberia pipeline and through the porticoes going in there and into china you know i think so part of russia's had a little bit of a p.r. battle on its hands because most days of the sooners which after all is the growth markets tend to prefer supplies out of the middle east because they're known for being stable reliable this these events of the last few weeks that really caused a lot of importers to pause for thought 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 been before well paul from asia russia's oil majors are looking across the atlantic the country's largest private producer lukoil is scouting for investment in u.s. shale fields. c.u.z. drilling technology in russia's oil great shale deposits as they're difficult to drill companies already experiment again with beer which is boats and hold large resources. searching out of the prices can speed up global inflation but russia

is keen to keep its growth in check but if the energy ministry and the adze monopoly service to keep an eye on the domestic petrol pump it. cynicism the commission you name prizes must be market based we do not want to undermine the country's oil producers but all speculation and corporate collusions must be excluded the price must be decided by demand and supply and not play any administrative sources we're going to bring this to the markets in europe stocks are trading mixed still with nixon flat the first c. is point four percent down that is up by just a notch british american tobacco is the biggest loser in london as england bans tobacco displays and shots from twenty twelve. here in russia markets are trading in the red after a long weekend and market is correcting following a strong previous week as take

a look at some of the stocks specifically banks on the rise supported by positive results of bank of america bucking the trend is for a bag in half a percent of my sex lower nickel and copper futures are weighing on metal stocks with more cynical shedding around the pacific. while prices are up yet again with turmoil in the middle east showing no sign of abating. merrill lynch has upped its forecast of crude prices saying they could reach the top one hundred and fourteen dollars per barrel in the second quarter that's what brant. they cost of insuring russian dead against a fault is what going to its lowest level in more than two years high oil prices are helping the world's largest energy exporter cut this year's record boring plants this is called credit default swaps slipped to one hundred twenty three in the last two weeks the biggest drop of any nation investors confidence in russia's ability to repay that is growing after the conflict in libya threatened or oil supplies from the region quarter of the russian budget comes from oil and gas and

high prices help trim the planned by around seventeen billion dollars. european central bank may be making a grave mistake by tightening its monetary policy that's according to new real roubini the notorious economist known as dr do he claims high interest rates may theorist he hits very for all european countries struggling to restore export competitiveness however a chief economist from my three years there is the e.c.b. he has no other option but when the central banks do not take action global inflation and perhaps domestic inflation in many areas including russia starts to get out of control and then we have a very very difficult situation when central banks would have no other option but to increase rates by significance and loans which definitely would would push many economists toward stansted because the cost of trade of the cost of

money would increase and that would be not helpful from the point if you were for covering. sales of new cars and light trucks in russia accelerated by eighteen percent in february the same period last year this is the action of european businesses calculated the seventy three thousand vehicles were sold russia's large is the top seller by the extended cash for clunkers program japan's nissan came in second and this expect the market's return to the crisis level in the team after a slump in two thousand. and we'll be back in less than one hour's time with an update matters next with the headlines to stay with us and for that.
