more news today violence is once again flared up. these are the images the world has been seeing from the streets of canada. operations room today. it's six thirty pm in moscow and these are the headlines on our t.v. fierce clashes between pro-government and opposition forces in libya intensified after a fifth night of cold air strikes which are based on use of believe the allied intervention after the u.s. to creases its involvement sales to bring results. last in transition weeks after mouse under-estimate egypt loads of regime change there are signs of disenchantment with the outcome of the revolution and some activists say the

current political situation will enable former president mubarak's allies to stay in power. have to crack down on and see all thirty protesters in brussels with tear gas and water cannons the critics say it comes on a contrast with libya where nato countries bombed its ascii you're not hearing is the people's voice. and first images of workers struggling to stabilize the situation a chance to pursue more power plants how on earth reports say three more of the so-called nuclear kamikazes have been exposed to dangerous levels of radiation after work to pull the reactor let's assume. we're continuing our coverage of the latest developments in libya as we sit down now with one of russia's most renowned experts an arab and islamic history professor vitaly known ken says the root cause of the crisis was in the fact that colonel gadhafi lost his sense of reality in dealing with major powers his interview is next.

the market after it was never a darling of the grass bred just two months ago devolved was pretty profitable doing business with him now tripoli is under aerial bombardment the libyan leader is hiding in one of his bunkers and nobody really knows what's going to happen next he discussed that we are now joined by one of precious leading political analysts the director of the instance that isn't sitting in the russian academy of sciences it's all right now we can't thank you very much for your time sir now so much has happened in such a short period of time and people are still struggling to understand what is really happening in libya what's your take on the situation there as you said the situation is colder than predictable from my point of view it was a continuation of the very dramatic. changes that happened in the

north of africa and all around the arab world actually but it's very important. to take into account that the two neighboring states neighboring states to libya egypt and tunisia they were just the main arena of all these dramatic changes but what happened in my view first was a continuation of the events in tunisia and egypt but a second it firstly secondly it was totally different because i think in egypt and both egypt and tunisia we had the sort of popular rebel lucian so facebook youth was. the this really a new type of revolution one of the mcveigh sions that was behind this popular move there was some group called or one region nothing actual what happened in tripoli everything's happened or started from big guys so were they were some also some

different method visions and reasons so root causes of this popular. movement that we still have to analyze now speaking about what is behind all who was behind these uprising you know that russian political scientists for some reason really like conspiracy theories and there are a lot of people who are saying that there is an american hand behind it some are saying that there is an al qaida hand behind it as far as i understand you think that these moment it was more or less genuine and things that had a very beginning sure that it was a genuine movement because i don't believe in this two conspiracy theories so one of those in the west was just pulling all strings i don't think i think that it was even a disaster for the west nor first the will to lose so in general in the middle east can lose such or. such

a leader as mubarak with who was loyal to the worst and even close but starting from two thousand and three he became very loyal he started changing his country the economic situation to depart from this the role of government in the war on the need he gave up with this nuclear program so everything was so to spy in the works . and the relations between the main european powers and special between the libyan britain france libya and italy it was thought all reran patients of the regime so why should the worst part this. can be risking to put it under nobody north or. whoever's control and the second conspiracy theory of these slime lists you know who the power islamists conspiracy there is nothing like that because of both himself by the recently started to reconcile with the islamist movement he

released a lot of islamic fighters from deals in symptom on all the simpler member of two thousand then he started negotiation process. the former islamic fighters and radicals now the main puzzle for me is that why is that you will see regime was such a lot of money was a lot of money from from oil and everything and gas and whatever so couldn't control the country couldn't control the huge region of the eastern part of libya and could not afford in order to eliminate this huge proportion of unemployment like thirty percent so while it was the highest unemployment in the arab world now and another point that i could make in addition to what he just said forty two years ago when here was having that bloodless coup of east ironically started out in ghazi and he was calling for moderation for got a living conditions what do you think happened to him because he started out as this young revolutionaries and people who are trying to fix them now pretty much

coming out going to same chance that the same call that he used forty years ago i cannot understand that they not only the power corrupts people corrupt people who who said they saw one more than forty years probably he he has lost his link with the reality and he was jumping from in a very surprising manner from one extreme to another extreme from supporting the wrist type of terrorist groups and radicals to embracing the western states from the west to russia and then back to the arab street also that's what was very surprising to me the fact that the western states and all the have bought all that we know what the scandal with the london school of economics was who was. the as another director was accepting the winners because i think and we know the same

scandals about paul's france. we know this today i feel worse. yes that's something very respectable you tell and firms my impression is that a lot of european leaders were not the most active in trying to oust could but if you think about themselves in future elections because they have spoiled the repeat patient with the original story with garfield and if you were saul baird and so unpredictable and so dictator or you know why should the way you were except. you know or just as from insight let me just pick up on this point i also find very interesting you just mentioned that western companies were given very lucrative deals. while deals get africa was also have only investing in europe the west also paying exporting oil to the united states so why do you think they moved it was the

drive to get rid of him is so strong because i mean. we have seen some reservations about the reaction to arab uprisings in other countries but no where before you have seen a military problem and i think there are both are problematic ideological considerations so primitive ones are clear so it was an acceptable to lead such a unpredictable leader not friendly pull the west and there was a sort of local also doing the work he has done to the western states and there were preventing it will forever remain in libya along with on this sea shore along with the need egypt and libya so it will be very i think profitable very interesting for the west nile to get through them such a leader who almost had no friends in the arab broadway even when the group was

here some friends in africa but he was spending a lot of money to support them look in the arab world. surprising to me that almost nobody is supporting the regime is supporting and even though their critical moment the work that television is doing they're not supporting. the coalition actions and i don't logically in my view means that you know he was presenting some of turn a cliff of the global paradigm. systems to the main liberal western type of society and regimes it was some alternative and this alternative was instrumental to the interests of the promotion of this liberal cry for promoter see in their world what's good that he was doing was quite different and he was in my view was regarded as a danger to the promotion of this type of. them paradigm of economic

you know social ideological paradigm and i think it played its role now are assuming that these anti gadhafi coalition succeeds and he actually soundly are indeed pushed out of power is it clear who could come and his place because at this point even the time tiring here council in benghazi it's really a dark horse and distaste because when archie was there and because the the brunt allowed and neither are other journalists allowed to film them the only two names that we do you know are people who all made a career for themselves serving to get authorization sir and they have to if you at least partial responsibility for the crimes that they are now trying to put on good after in all this dictatorial regimes there is no any sort of organized opposition so almost everybody is like a sort of this is them or someone who defected from the ranks of the supporters of

the leader or had some problem with him conducting for instance got rid of him for some reason or another so it's difficult for. this type of very dictatorial regimes various oppressive not all or anything any sort of organized opposition with the exception of some sort of groups they asked for with the exception of it was thought mr groups with the exception of this form are a royal because you should know you knew it was loyal to the old king. more likely or this union or force of that was be based. in britain but there is there was no or substantial organized or. opposition within the country thank you very much for your.

a fence there are counsel for the forseeable future prime minister vladimir putin offering some days ago for russia to step in and take over the finals if the international skating federation agreed on their of the weeklong tournaments will get on the we had scored on april twenty fifth in moscow the same city that held the tournament half a dozen years ago twenty ten winter olympic host cooper and four other regions had also offered to host. countries they. like to sure are france and counterparts that all the athletes and to supporters will feel tell me during the world championships in moscow for the russian national t.v. finals will be the first people to be steel because our squad can see some very young skaters the beginning of a long road for them to keep the first stone in preparations for the sochi winter olympics nationals were innocent. now let's stay on the ice but move to hockey the clash of the k h l titans is on the way up the moment solid entertaining mesler in

the first game of their eastern conference finals drawn fifty eight is four three. the home side catapulted themselves into the driver's seat just thirty seconds in for he tore through the ranks before veteran defenseman serbia funerals equalized for nestler to make it with the mike even worse side in front minutes later with a saw about to hit three in a row to go for two off at lord's just pulled one clock meaning to scores for three with as they see a run fourteen minutes to. meanwhile out lance find their rhythm in the opening game of their western conference the cider against lockable t.v.'s today they're not school region ifas russian goddess level say six goals to one a lot cited to say the least that last thing going in the opening theory courtesy of the pry open to option the afterwards for all the man that was

never followed from circuit as yappin in the seconds for me to think before you set us a check this one local but any hopes of the fight will soon snuffed out i like the troth one more before they have named his brace to finish the right sector on how it ended with one of the best of seven series the sides meet again i noticed that i reckon football knowledge of dick advocaat has hinted there could be some new faces in the side for their girl qualifier against armenia the squad which made up in moscow ahead of saturday's time euro founding fluids three players hoping to make their debut rituxan port fleet has been covering the preparations. russia reached the midway point in their campaign to try and reach b. euro two thousand and twelve finals in poland and ukraine on saturday going away trip to armenia but missing season only restarted a couple of weeks ago after the winter break the lack of match practice won't affect the likes of underage sharman and roman publishing co the coming towards the

end if their campaigns abroad and another expanded deneuve said the team is raring to go digital goods it's difficult for me to talk on behalf of the players based in russia but if you are informed it doesn't really matter what stage of the season you're out of or i'm feeling fairly fresh myself at the moment because i haven't been playing as much as i would like those guys in russia have already been playing for a couple of months so we should be fine but still there are a few new faces in the complicated scored i would say you all know has been rewarded for his good start to be season because he needs us as denise because. sure would look a mighty overanalyze use of beach however one newcomer who is a brit chance of making news debuts u.p.d. mackey if you could replace her suspended alexander and you call russia's head coach isn't giving any clues away as to who may start against armenia however he did say it's a good opportunity for these three players to join up but of course squad i also

spoke. of. do something with the other players to see them on a training. period and the same with. russia courage to top up a group of nine points however armenia have already beaten samarkand something to come pick outside failed to do and are just two points behind russians made the last competitive encounter in october against macedonia which they won since then desperate to to very disappointing friendly defeat against belgium in iran doctrine says his team must improve. soon. this is the fourth home game from. out of five so it is impossible not so important. and what. we do and we can.

only go. into school we have to play the same we'll be getting. very aggressive. it was very good for the world so it is game will be russia's third quarter financial way from home in a row however it could turn out to be one of the hardest as undercount sign will have to deal with an intimidating atmosphere and against a surprise package of group b. so far it might look fairly straightforward on paper but saturday's going to be a very tough test for russia's paperweights armenia all three points are imperative to pick up accounts side as they look to maintain their lead of a top order turning out to be a very tight group. of r.t. . ok let's stay with football where brazilian defender dani alves signed a new four year contract with spain's barcelona the deal ending recent speculation about his future at the club of age will not be at the nou camp until twenty fifty the flying fullback had previously hinted to the media he would see

a good lead for simona but that now looks to. buy art for the agreement or whatever but it is a staggering one hundred fifty euro elevation move to costa from spanish rival city to foes and. must go on to be n.b.a. we go on the slide of continuing as those their hopes of a postseason place a one hundred six the night before last to oklahoma their latest defeat the salt lake city scored well the four games behind memphis for the final playoff spot as the west bank thunder though they're looking good simply with no answer kevin durant's has now got the highest scoring average n.b.a. this season the twenty two year old securing the twelve point three three with a back to back three pointers in the fourth week. it's not what you expect to see from reading world champion form no one sebastian vettel has been preparing for the start of the new season with a spot of sheep shearing the german enjoying

a taste of the art back before this season opening recent melbourne but with a little sheepish himself as he attempted cheering up a couple on but the great all right with assists will be on the bench when he hits the surface the twenty three year old gets his title defense on the way to the albert park track this weekend following some good winter testing in his new car the rb seven i. think the winter we had was the best we had so far in terms of you know how we are relative to others it's a little bit difficult to say because i think some new things on everybody's car and. yes some new regulations plus new tires so it's a bit difficult to to find out where exactly you are that's why we come here to you know to find out and started the latest. two thoughts and on a champion lewis hamilton has been using a more traditional method for the curtain raising race the briton taking a run or run over and the twenty six year old was the youngest ever title winner before vettel is mcclaren mercedes team on top of his front runners this season but

it's still optimistic ahead of the aussie from free which he topped at the start of this championship winning year can't wait to get the circuit see mcconaughey originated on the track you know it's always so it's very there in the beginning to shift the park and then i'm told it's a race with the race track for the weekend so i'm looking forward to it just a real cause that we can and we could have a good impact on my family or two thousand i had a really good year and i want to know when the championship so that's the goal this year. finally with golf first major of the year just a couple of weeks away former world number one tiger woods is still trying to regain his form the world over five will play out this week's arnold palmer invitational in florida and he says the team holding the key to his game currently thirty five one here at the bay hill course six times in the past but woods building displaying remembering the tips given to him by his late father i went i went back to normal stuff. and i used to work out. and that's
