in the big old hotel mostly a ski crazy an escape plan is to simply say a story convinced he might go twenty looking. for. me to take command of inforcing a no fly zone over libya the full sort of controlling the military operation but here in tripoli the bombs continue to fall on the capital city. public fury of the huge cost of foreign and military campaigns yet stringent austerity cuts at home spreads in the e.u. as the bloc looks set to bail out another crippled country. by the radiation spike at the fukushima power plant forces japan's government to consider expanding the evacuation zone all those still living dangerously close to the area and said to be struggling without.

it with r.t. live from moscow just after six pm on friday nato has agreed to assume command of the patrols and forcing the no fly zone over libya is expected to take charge of yes strikes within days officials have warned the operation could last for up to three months now overnight fresh bombs rocked the capital tripoli with reports of yet more civilian casualties. as well. this is the proof of civilians being injured and killed inclusion is strikes we've driven more than forty minutes to see the remains of a rocket and some glass in a big room window where the father says he was very lucky that his family was not at home forgive us for being a little bit suspicious but certainly here the pressure is on for the government to try and show the international community that indeed its claims that more than

a hundred civilians have been killed are true and we attended a mass funeral where more than fifty coffins we pulled out we were told that inside we see millions but a government spokesperson later did admit that it was possible that some of the bodies will suffice his speech preaching at their funeral procession say that all libyans rice was so sick the question in terms of what is the difference here between a fighter and a civilian now the journalists were into gaza hospital with it where more than a dozen bodies would charge beyond recognition and presented also as proof that these is tribes are killing civilians there are rumors here in the capital city the bodies have been pushing for other carriers the reason to the fighting being presented to the foreign media as proof again that civilians are the targets and are the collateral damage in these airstrikes the reaction on the ground in terms of the announcement that mater now will be in charge of enforcing this no fly zone is rather mixed the average rebel fighter actually doesn't care he just wants to

see more weapons he wants to see more air strikes but the opposition leadership is a bit concerned they do understand that when you have more powers calling the shots you run the risk of one of them being able to veto any future operation a lot easier for the united states and canada to take this operation forward the nuclear powers which have domestic issues they need to consider such as migration here in the capital city this situation is very very tense friday prayer is always a focal point security downtown has been stepped up in fear that there could be massive demonstrations overnight there were is strikes in the east in the west of the city targeting military barracks. if feels at the same time there was a lot of anti aircraft gunfire over the capital city so indeed the situation tense people angry and most just fearing that the next few days and weeks scampering policy r.t. tripoli. leaders are also writing a blog to keep you updated on all the latest from libya have

a look at our twitter page right now and one of our latest blogs she describes how the sound of missiles and explosions is oppressing the capital tripoli you can also go on to our twitter page there and get the latest on civilian casualties and the threat of four thousand u.s. marines and sailors could be poised to possibly march on it live you get the latest from our correspondents on our twitter feed that is r.t. underscore com. all right well the u.n. says it's alarmed by the looming humanitarian crisis in libya officials warn that food supply lines have been disrupted and over three hundred thousand refugees have already fled the country parties are you going to come off now reports from the libyan border with egypt. people are fleeing the country we saw scores of refugees coming out of libya and according to the united nations over three hundred thousand people already for fled the country it's thought that nearly ten thousand refugees are clearly at libya's borders with egypt and tunisia and

dozens of more are expected to join them so this kind of gives a picture on the humanitarian situation in the k.g.b. we spoke with one family the war from bin guys the they describe the situation there as terrible the said it was absolutely impossible for them to live there anymore so they decided to wait it out in egypt see what's happening and maybe come back if things settle down the also told us that some of the gaddafi supporters who are acting undercover inside bin guys the were captured by the opposition so in that sense there's still activity going on in a side they've been guys itself just on thursday the united nations met to discuss the humanitarian situation in the country strongly criticizing what's what's happening there and actually judging by these figures over three hundred thousand people already you left libya it's

a real humanitarian crisis and so so for the mean go all of this military operation to reinforce the no fly zone which was to help ordinary libyans there still has not been achieved. he could discover that well the meantime durance renting from the trends research center says that nato command is just a couple for the u.s. which wants to ensure control libya's oil. when people get killed or there are strikes in afghanistan that kill innocent people they always use the term nato it's mostly the us and yes the prime minister of turkey is one hundred percent correct again the hypocrisy is before our very own eyes it's so all this is is the united states doing what it's become accustomed to do and that is attack any country it wants to at any time they any reason that it could make up and the new reason that they made up is perfectly orwellian

a humanitarian crisis so you kill people to solve the humanitarian crisis and you take dictators out that you don't like because really what's behind this and i've said it before would be united states be in iraq if their major export was broccoli or would they be in libya if they weren't holding on to the sweetest of sweet crude oil on the planet well with waves of violent clusters sweeping several countries in the arab world the question arises why libya became the site of foreign military intervention in libya benjamin who's the co-founder of the antiwar group code pink says it's loyalty to the u.s. which has kept other dictators from being targeted. one has to ask why libya and not the other countries and in fact in the in the case of other countries like bahrain the us just stood by while the saudis rolled into rain

with machinery that was given to saudi arabia by the united states including a pending sixty seven billion dollar weapons deal to the saudis the largest weapon deal in history so the us continues to protect its dictators like in the case of rain in saudi arabia and its close relationship with the government in yemen well it is now trying to oust a dictator that has always been. a either antagonistic towards the west or in recent years where there has been a warming of relationships still not one of trust so it's a he can choose which dictators you feel are aligned with your interests or not. and a national hero notchy crushed the future of the military operation in libya from each other as a quick preview. we need to to see very clearly that the united

states britain and france must this cyst from any further military involvement in libya and that it is not their rule to cut out reach it is the rule of the good libyans and africans to remove gadhafi not the western europeans who got out the over the past forty one years the gentleman from syracuse presumes to know what the libyan rebels should be doing while the libyan rebels themselves are the ones that have asked for western assistance in that the point is you can always find persons in countries to invite foreign troops and the very arab league that invited the west to enter into libya i did very see in our governments that are repressing the countries in bahrain in countries such as algeria in countries such as morocco in saudi arabia.

and across the uk is coming your way in about an hour and twenty minutes from now right here on r.t. now european capitals are preparing for fresh until start to protest south of clashes in brussels on thursday e.u. leaders were meeting there to hammer out a set of measures to ease the euro zone's debt crisis but as the single currency is facing a new threat with portugal looking to sell to us for a bailout he's done it we're told is in brussels and he has more on this. in public e.u. leaders are saying they feel people's pain but behind closed doors here in the european commission building they've imposed even more spending cuts slashing spending even further now that even applies to states outside the troubled eurozone places like poland latvia denmark will also participate so you get a sense of the crisis spreading across the european union i've met with some of the protesters out on the streets and asked them why they're fighting the plans. no

more layoffs no to pay cuts no retirement a message from twenty thousand angry demonstrators pushed back with water cannons and pepper spray by riot police the protesters tried to get through to e.u. leaders meeting in brussels to slash spending this money was made. to be used for social security was meant to be used for the. not broke the bank so when you. move to take brand because of the prison there goes across europe voters are saying no to malls there it's the measures portugal's prime minister has quit after parliament voted down a fresh round of cuts we contrast three months left to repay almost ten billion euro at a time when its sovereign credit rating has been caught and the only option left is national fault to tell does the country called pay back its loans or accept an e.u.

bailout similar to greece and ireland it hasn't happened in the west in the second world war but the longer you postpone this necessary evil. the more costly it is is going to be at the same time military intervention in libya is costing hundreds of millions of euros really a few areas so what they see is and are necessary and expensive campaign somebody. the finance minister about the financing of this and i think the overwhelming sense that you got from it was among the public in britain with skepticism with millions unemployed across europe people losing patience with politicians who seem out of touch with reality increasingly familiar sights on the streets of the e.u. is government built tightly leaves growing not just all to work the big question is no good right time to spend the money available on wars abroad don't you be sure all see brussels. still to come here on the program on r t are the events in libya

an example of history repeating itself schools are striking parallels between the current military intervention and the u.s. led campaign in yugoslavia some twelve years ago a war which claimed the lives of two thousand civilians. but the japanese government is debating whether to expand the evacuation zone around the fukushima power plant and water radiation there is now ten thousand times higher than the norm be back you wish an area is currently twenty kilometers around the plant and those living close to the area are seeing a lack of vital supplies. there is in tokyo of course. the government does seem to have almost failed these people over the past two weeks now those living within the twenty kilometer range they got a very simple instruction straight away as soon as the accident happened they were told to leave people in the twenty to thirty kilometer range and in fact the population of the area could be as high as one hundred thirty thousand we don't

know how many of those people are still not area but it's numbering in the tens of thousand that were given very contradictory into instructions they were told that they could stand at homes that they would be ok as long as they shut their windows and didn't go out but as the weeks of unfolded what we're actually witnessing is that these people are not getting even the basic supplies so was they're staying in their homes or protecting themselves some radiation their government isn't even able to give them food and water and although the necessities because nobody else would be prepared to go into the area and now what we're finding out is that in fact their lives might not be safe because once they got over the saying ok we can give you don't seem to be ok but don't worry we're only doing this for the convenience of his safety in fact science experts say is in completely different picture so there's been high levels of radiation detected out of the twenty kilometer minute already in which you have it and you have radiation levels of that of that one are is that in a week or two you'll have people that are experiencing the radiation exposure of

nuclear plant workers are you know over the course of their career and these are people in a situation where there's been an earthquake there's been a tsunami there's a shortage of food there's a shortage of water as these people should not be allowed to remain in such an extraordinary area this is something which follows the trust issues which are being called a problem here in japan people who are not feeling getting enough information from the government and this has led to a degree of i think this is led by the calling of more. over the last few days people exchanging rumors some which are untrue and a lot of information being passed on by bloggers who are on the one. and doing every important job because the feeling in the govern the government puts on the other hand as you know these unofficial sources of information can sometimes be hysterical or badly informed themselves and therefore it's probably a false structure so we've seen politicians in the last few days stepping in and

actually criticizing the government for the way it's been handling this crisis people saw the explosion again and again and again on television and the government one tell you for many hours what the hell is going on so the government shouldn't be releasing information timely fish should tell you what's really happening so right now on the people who are wondering if their government is telling you true stories some of the pictures which we have been seeing are truly horrifying people who would normally be cremated under japanese culture the japanese religion instead being dumped into work on house graves sometimes end badly hastily constructed coffins sometimes even in plastic bags with the government saying ok this is the best you can do for now this is all that we can do and we will later exude these people and give them a proper cremation so you can imagine you know considering the stress that their

relatives have already gone through you can imagine being told something like this can do to people psyche this is their very negative side but on the other hand the resulting to be optimistic about we've already seen some of the roads rebuilt you already seen some of the train service is restored as well as of course what you can this is the figures which are already receiving which is more than ten thousand people there and seventeen thousand people missing most of whom are presumed to be dead as well. as our r.t. if you go out of what happens you can update on a fan on our twitter feed if we have a look now at one of his or latest tweets he talks about interviewing a top japanese official who blames big energy companies view fukushima crisis can also stay up to date on the spread of. nation of course the ongoing search for the thousands that are still missing and as the locals there struggle for daily supplies are the underscore calm on twitter. are returning to a situation in libya where nato will shortly assume control of the bombing campaign

by civilians are still a threat from colonel gadhafi using seemingly undeterred armies they're also now risking the danger of a so called collateral damage from the allies as r.t. as anastasio trick and i reports it's becoming increasingly reminiscent of nato was bombing of yugoslavia some twelve years ago. in march seasons change sunshine invites americans onto the streets american politicians invite themselves to foreign countries. and march nine hundred ninety nine the u.s. and its nato allies warm yugoslavia our own forces joined our nato allies and airstrikes against serbian forces responsible for the brutality in kosovo march two thousand and eleven america's next president and you call the mission of the willing attack libya the u.n. security council passed a strong resolution that demands an end to the violence against its. it authorizes the use of force you to feel the same should be one security council in contrast to

the bombings of the slavia there was no such green lights in one thousand nine hundred nine and the bombings were led by nido the first time a military alliance atop the sovereign nation nonito member causing no threat to the group similarly libya poses no external threats and there are other striking parallels between the conduct of these wars the enemy then slobodan milosevic jobbed the new hitler the enemy of today the eccentric one market and power for forty years now similarly villainize by the us colonel qadhafi these just stepped down from power and leave the goal now and back then getting rid of a leader no longer favored by the west taking sides with questionable opposition in what started as a civil war what we're seeing is a four fledged war including attempting i would only do. the head of state of the targeted country and other leaders of the government that again is you know a page from the yugoslav bloc of twelve years ago. what is the world learned

evidently not much the official reason for western involvement a so-called humanitarian mission a term coined and the bombings of nine hundred ninety nine if you go in if you say look at the politics of this it's going to say it's the people say it's me that was . all it was a rationale still relied upon put rightly questioned into no sort of rescue of syria's with all of this isn't. all that is. there's a real here is. the engine of that machine both then and now the no fly zone fueled in libya by the additional all necessary measures where the line between the enemy in a foreign land and its civilians often gets blurred it did in. yugoslavia with thousands of people killed and close to one million displaced after the war when they did

a count they found us nato bombs had destroyed fourteen tanks and serbia fourteen tanks but they had also four hundred thirty seven schools a similar scenario is now predicted in libya they think that a quick bit of bombing will sort the matter out but in fact i think they will find that it will last far longer than they have gambled for twelve years on serbia still remembers the losses inflicted by u.s. nato bombings the u.s. is now involved in its fourth attack over four nation in the same twelve years and states in turkey. new york well as the coalition forces involve themselves in libya unrest is continuing in other parts of the arab world. is bracing for a day over the range of thousands of activists are parents are holding mass protests across the country it comes in a defiance of a ban on public gatherings under martial law declared last week. three gripped by

under arrest since last month the protesters who were mostly members of the shiite majority are seeking to sunni ruling family calls for new marching subpoenas circulated by email and the internet. and tens of thousands of people have gathered in the yemeni capital for rival rallies protestors are the guardian of the country's long standing leader step down addressing his supporters president ali abdullah saleh said he's ready for a peaceful transfer of authority by constitutional means however he called the opposition a small minority of drug dealers and rebels and legal money traders the demonstrations come a week after security forces opened fire on protesters killing more than forty. and you're r.t. right i'm getting reports that the police have opened fire on demonstrators in the syrian city of daraa. the country has seen weeks of anti-government protests with the last few days particularly violent the latest turmoil comes

a day after the syrian leadership pledged to introduce political reforms and expanded freedoms at least twenty five people have been killed in what's become the most serious unrest in the country seen since the one nine hundred seventy s. . and i will be back with more headlines in less than ten minutes time but first it's a new leader with the business. this is our season business update hello and welcome to the program russia's state run also says it will continue to pursue its artistic exploration and assets will deal with the p that's after that stockholm tribunal ruled that big deal broke the agreement with its current russian partners in team k b p and artie's correspondent tom barton brings them existence. since the ruling or about arbitration court was delivered with such an as commented from ross net's point of view on the deal and

what he thinks the consequences of that ruling are firstly points out that the deal has not been blocked only just laid the final decision of the arbitration board will come on the seventh of april and he says that all parties of the deal should wait until that time to make any further big decisions however he's made some other comments about rosneft perspective on the deal firstly he said that there will be no buyout of they are they are the present russian shareholders in c n n k b b some commentators to said that they might have been bought out why it was enough to enable the deal to go ahead with b.p. and he has said that will not go ahead however he also says that the cause of the delays in this last year france been making definite losses and it may well seek compensation for those losses he does stress though over rule but so rosneft is very confident about deal of benjy taking place it will defend its side of the deal

and it won't be the as a partner in this deal he said though almost in his capacity as deputy prime minister on the other side rather than as a last minute head that even if for some reason the steel didn't end up going ahead then it was a key state priority to explore the arctic to find and utilize oil and gas where so even without b.p. and without this deal the arctic would be explored from b.p.'s perspective obviously this decision is is a little bit disappointing back in january when it was first announced they trumpeted it as a historic deal able to look into the as yet unexplored arctic and they too will be very keen on trying to find a compromise which lets some form of deal go ahead. and let's take a look at how the markets are performing the you are so far down the nasdaq a try. adding in the blind the sour economic growth data and good corporate earnings are lifting sentiment. of european stocks b.p.

shares are lower one percent in trading in london otherwise it's a fairly positive picture in london and frankfurt. and. the os has in my stateside turn positive for the those rides on wall street and shares are also suffering falling decision blocking a deal with b.p. . also at stake make a big individual market movers like b.p. ross net is also that blocked arctic deal zero point four percent this hour is up almost five percent as it becomes this so companies are participating in the information society state project which means it will be receiving a lot of new contracts to have its trading in the black on the news it has increased its stake in benoit's ex talk of change from seven to ten percent and mike says they my six and aussie has are in the process of a green a march on. the russian central bank has decided to keep its key interest rate changed as they stand at its policy meeting on friday and that's just the threat

information poses to the economy how about give us a list of all electric economists. says the central bank's decision was quite balanced. view was. the decision was a requirement is the proper one given the condition of our group we had to global financial markets i think the decision not to raise interest rates was partly model be the voice of all the weak growth figures that we've seen in the beginning of the year at the same time there is a continued emphasis on fighting inflation which is untrue reflected in the decision to raise reserve requirements. for more next hour the latest headlines and story coming up next. cool. the.
