nato takes command of the forcing a no fly zone over libya before sort of controlling the military operation but here in tripoli problems continue support in the capital city. public fear of the huge cost of foreign military campaigns yes stringent austerity cuts at home spreads in the e.u. as the law looks set to bail out another crippled country. and the radiation spike could be pushing apart from forces japan's government to consider expanding the evacuation zone although still dangerously close to be area said to be struggling without the bottle supplies.

this is r.t. live from our studios here in central moscow where it's now eight pm and seven pm in libya nato has agreed there to assume come on the patrols and forcing the no fly zone over the country as expected to take charge of the air strikes within days officials of the operation could last for up to three months overnight fresh ones rocked the capital tripoli with reports of more civilian casualties as the nations force. this is the proof of civilians being injured and killed in coalition is strikes we've driven more than forty minutes to see the remains of a rocket and some blasted a pigeon 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 one hundred civilians have been killed are true now we attended

a mass funeral with more than fifty persons reports now and we were told that inside with civilians but a government spokesperson related to the bullets that it was possible that some of the bodies will suffice as beach speeching at the scene or position stated. all libyans are prices so take the question in terms of what is the difference here between a fighter and a civilian now the journalist went to visit a hospital where there where more than a dozen bodies will charge beyond recognition and presume to also as proof that these is strikes are killing civilians there are rumors here in the capital city that bodies are being brought in from the areas where there is intensive fighting and being presented to the foreign media as proof again that civilians are the targets and are the collateral damage in these is strikes the reaction on the ground in terms of the announcement that nato 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 of the 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 than european 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 it could be massive demonstrations overnight there were is strikes in the east in the waste of the city targeting military barracks a military airfield at the same time it was a lot of empty aircraft and gunfire over the capital city so indeed the situation tense people angry and most just fearing what the next few days and weeks tempering policy r.t. tripoli. well paul is also writing a blog to keep you updated on all the latest from libya and one of her latest post she describes how the sound of missiles and explosions is oppressing the capital

there for police you can find the link to her blog and all the latest tweets from our correspondent on our twitter feed and that r.t. under school. the u.n. says it's alarmed by the looming humanitarian crisis in libya officials warn food supplies supply lines have been disrupted and over three hundred thousand refugees have already fled the country as you can pick it up reports now 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 have 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 country we spoke with one family the

war from bin ghazi they describe the situation the 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 he also told us that some of the gaddafi supporters who are acting undercover inside been guys the war captured by the opposition so in that sense there's still activity going on in a side of bin guys the 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 left libya it's a real humanitarian crisis and so so for the main goal of this military operation to reinforce the no fly zone which was to help ordinary libyans that still has not

been achieved. this kind of reporting they're not authorized a member of the european parliament and leader of the u.k. independence party believes the whole military strategy in libya has not been full through. perfectly clear that as far as rim poised concerned regime changes were involved in libya what was also surprising was that we've all seen it to begin with as france britain and america getting involved in this and it now coming under this morning i may say one brother but what that point made clear was that those countries would not and in fact could not have gone to war in libya without the european council approving it so whatever employer is saying is that it's the e.u. as much as anybody else that has started off this war and that the aim is to topple gadhafi and i would have thought that that does go against the u.n. resolution one nine seven three and i see it as a very surprising development quite talk about british public opinion you know we've been told by the armed forces minister nick harvey in response to a question what is the length of our commitment he replied how long's

a piece of string will goodness me we've had british troops on the ground in afghanistan for over ten years i don't think there's any appetite for us getting involved in foreign wars where we can't directly see our own national interest being threatened where frankly if we go in to support the rebels we don't even know who they are or what they stand for or what they want i don't think anybody has thought this through it may well be that the people defending benghazi against good afi are at the moment very grateful for the help they've had over the course of the last week but you know if we if we run this on any longer we may well find ourselves with ground troops in a country where we we actually alienate both sides of the conflict so i am very very nervous you know very skeptical i don't like what's happening in libya but here we are throwing in our aircraft possibly about destroying our troops against a man who just four months ago mr van report was hugging in public the air is thick

with hypocrisy able to survive we could have singled out other dreadful dictators we could have gone to the tax regard legal or chosen all sorts of different places and i just. i don't know why they picked on i don't believe they forced through that they are going to put ground troops but i think they're going to find all the member states involved in this have a real strong level i think when people see cuts in front line services for whatever reasons when people see that retirement age is going up when people see the taxes both direct and indirect will they're paying going up they have a right to question what on earth are we doing getting involved in an open ended commitment in terms of war with libya the cost those goodness knows what else i do think that to a very close but i also feel that there are lots of countries this morning and certainly in britain people woke up this morning and they looked at the television all the newspapers and saw as portugal is about to topple over the next year as

a country requiring a bailout but that is actually going to cost each british taxpayer about four hundred pounds and actually the biggest effect on our pockets this week was the chance that his budget but it was the fact that the portuguese government now they're about to buy all doubt i think people have every reason to be pretty angry that they see their own costs of home going up their services being money being thrown overseas in all sorts of projects that they wouldn't necessarily see. nigel farage there was a little later in the program here on r.t. crosstalk debates the future of the military operation in libya these are a brief preview for you. need that to say very clearly that the united states britain and france must be sister from any further military involvement in libya and that it is not their rule to carry out reaching change it is the rule of big libyans and africans to remove gadhafi not the western europeans who propped the

gaddafi over the past forty one years the junk 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 only find persons in countries to invite foreign troops and the very arab league that invited the west to enter into libya and other very same arab governments that are repressing the countries in bahrain in countries such as algeria in countries such as morocco in saudi arabia. coming your way a little later here on our team european capitals have been preparing for fresh anti austerity protests of the violent 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 well that's as the single currency is facing a new threat with portugal looking set to ask for

a bailout daniel bushell in brussels has more. in public e.u. leaders are saying they feel people's pain but behind the 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 euro zone 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 ask them why they're fighting the plans. no more layoffs no to pay cuts no retirement the 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 b.t.u. brussels to slash spending this money was made. to be used in such a curious thing. to be used for the hell's. the bank to.

bring you the world's worst critic brand because of the prison there goes across europe voters are saying no to more spirity measures portugal's prime minister has quit after paula but voted down a fresh round of cuts because she has three months left to repay almost ten billion euro at a time when its sovereign credit rating has been caught. only option left is national default to tell liberals 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 since the second world war but the longer you postpone this necessary evil. the more costly it is going to be at the same time military intervention in libya is costing hundreds of millions of euros many a furious what they see as an unnecessary and expensive campaign somebody the.

chancellor of the effect of the finance minister about the financing of this and i think the overwhelming sense that you got from 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 sidescan streets of the e.u. was government built tightly leaves a growing number spell to work the big question is no good right time to spend the money available on news of the world there you go sure altie brussels. and still to come on the program audio of pence in libya an example of history repeating itself explore some striking parallels between the current military intervention and the u.s. led campaign in yugoslavia twelve years ago which claimed to kills incident. but first to japan now and the japanese government is debating whether to expand the

evacuation zone around the fukushima power plant or to radiation there is now ten thousand times higher than the normal evacuation areas currently twenty kilometers around the plant and those living close to the area seeing a lack of vital supplies. is in tokyo. 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 my area but it's numbering in the tens of thousand that we give him very contradictory into instructions they were told that they can stay in the homes that they would be ok as long as they shut their windows and didn't go out but i was there we tell our poll that what we're actually witnessing is that these people are not getting even the basic supplies so what is their state in their homes as of a protect themselves from radiation the government isn't even able to give them

food and water and all the necessities because nobody else will be prepared to go into the area and now with your thought on the other is that in fact the laws 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 your convenience not for your safety in fact science experts are facing completely different picture there's been high levels of radiation detected out of the twenty kilometer limit already and what you have you have radiation levels that have that level is that in a week or two you'll have people that are experiencing the radiation exposure of nuclear plant workers are you know a course of their career and these are people in a situation where there's going to earthquake there's been a tsunami there's a shortage of food there's a shortage of water sees people should not be allowed to remain in such an exposure area this is something which highlights the trust issues which are being quite a problem here in japan people who are not getting enough information from the

government and this has led to a degree of panic this is led to buying quite a cording of water in tokyo 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 a very important job because the feeling in the arm of the government but i'm not a hound as you know these are unofficial sources of information can sometimes be hysterical about name calling themselves and therefore it's not a false picture so we've seen politicians in the last few days stepping in and actually criticizing the government or the ways been handling this crisis people saw the explosion again and again and again on television. the government one tell you for many hours what the hell is going on so the government should not be releasing information time moving this should tell you what's really happening so right now the people who are wondering if their government is telling you true

stories some of the pictures which you have been seeing are truly horrifying people who would normally be cremated under japanese culture of the japanese religion instead being bumped into what the mass graves sometimes an end badly hastily constructed coffins sometimes even in plastic bags would be government saying ok this is the best we 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 of their relatives have already gone through you you can imagine what's being told something like this can do to people psyche this is their very negative side both on the other hand the resign thing to be optimistic about we've already seen some of the roads rebuild the already seen some of the train service is restored as well as of course what you can dispute is the figures which are already receiving just more than ten thousand people dead and seventeen thousand people missing your most of whom are presumed to be dead as well. keeping up to date on japan the

situation there on our twitter feed and in one of his latest tweets he talks about it being a tough japanese official who blames big energy companies for the bushies as well you can find out more log on to our feet on the twitter account that's under school on twitter. we're returning to the situation in libya where nato will shortly assume control of the bombing campaign while civilians are still a threat from colonel gadhafi seemingly undeterred armies they also know risk the danger of so-called cone up full damage from the allies and as artie's and started checking the reports it's becoming increasingly reminiscent of nato is bombing of yugoslavia twelve years ago. in march seasons change sunshine invites americans are into the streets american politicians and white themselves to foreign countries. who march nine hundred ninety nine the u.s. and its nato allies why are. our armed forces joined our nato allies and air

strikes against serbian forces responsible for the brutality in kosovo and march two thousand and eleven america's next president and a new coalition of the willing to attack libya the u.n. security council passed a strong resolution that demands and up to the violence against sort of. it authorizes the use of force to be able sanctioned by the un security council in contrast to the bombings of the slavia there was no such greenlighted in one thousand nine hundred ninety one means one led by needle the first time the military alliance atop the sovereign nation a non-lethal member causing all threat to the group similarly libya poses no external threat and there are other striking parallels between the conduct of these wars the enemy then slobodan milosevic dobbed the new hitler the enemy of today the eccentric one mark radomsky and power for over forty years now similarly villainize by the us. based step down from power and leave the goal now

and back and then getting rid of a leader no longer favored by the west taking sides with a questionable opposition and what started as a civil war what we're seeing is a full fledged war including attempting would only do. it will the head of state of the targeted country and other leaders of the government again as you know a page from the yugoslav book of four 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 that bombings of nine hundred ninety nine you know it's who you say really get it all because of us are going to save its people. essentially that was. all it was a rationale still delight upon but widely questioned and we do know that the rescue of surveyors with those as it is. the source of.

this is very real here is a serious the engine of that machine both then and now a 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 aid. in yugoslavia with thousands of people killed and close to one million displaced after the war when they did a count they found the u.s. nato bombs had destroyed fourteen and serbia fourteen tanks what they heard also by four hundred and 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 attempt of a foreign nation in the same twelve years and as this interpreter r.t.

new york. well as the coalition forces involve themselves in libya and rest is continuing in other parts of the arab world clashes have occurred in several villages across bahrain as thousands of activists declared a day of rage in the capital manama security forces used tear gas against protesters after a prominent cleric while the demands would look nice on its own course the protests come into parts of the public gatherings on the mosul border played last week has been the rest since last month the demonstrators were mostly members of the shiite majority a second. al khalifa ruling family. tens of thousands of people gathered in the capital for rival rallies protesters are demanding that the country's longstanding leader step down and receive his supporters president ali abdullah saleh says he's ready for a peaceful transfer of authority by constitutional means with your position a small minority of drug dealers rebels and illegal money trade is going straight

to security forces opened fire on protesters killing more than thirty. we're getting reports that police have opened foreign demonstrators in the syrian city of their own country has seen weeks of anti-government protests with the last few days particularly violent turmoil comes a day after the syrian leadership pledged to introduce political reforms and expanded freedoms he's pretty five people have been killed in what's become the most serious unrest the country seen since the one nine hundred seventy s. . pretty three minutes past the hour here in the russian capital back in seven minutes for the summer how many stories the meantime you know is next with the business now. i think this is our business update hello and welcome to the program russia's state run or so that will continue to pursue exploration and. talk deal with b.p. that's also there's talk of the tracing tribe you know gold big deal grow they give

peace agreement with its current russian partners in chang trading p. and deputy prime minister igor was also chairman of the ross now board says his company is not considering buying the russian shareholders out of ten k.b. please and roland. capital believes. the deal will last three. i think there's a lot of value to be unlocked between the deal between b.p. and rosneft so given there's a lot of value you've got to find some way of sharing that value around to make the deal happen so i don't think this is the last we've heard of it i think that the russian shareholders in tearing hate b.p. want to make sure that they get all of this value which can be unlocked by the deal how that happens i think is going to be the next step i think the russian government could talk to the russian shareholders into i'd be really surprised if somebody as. friedman within hearing p.p.p. had already spoken to the russian government so i imagine that dialogue is going to

continue you know i don't see this is a particular shock this deal that could be the judgment call judgment i think this is sort of the next step in the game plan that we will see the result of over the next several months i don't think this is the last step or two. let's house take a look at how the markets up this morning in the dow jones and did not start trading in the blind to sound economic growth data good local alexandersson stocks . endure a baby shower after what i wanted from any of us as trade is three quarters of a cent higher and that's been a fairly positive dad. the continent with the third seat and the dots mean positive tell. by the also as under my sense of time positive for being bright as eye wall street faces going to run all the possible side. let's not take a look at things of interest market moves like a p.p. of all staff it was known that blogs also

a deal out of top around zero point four percent cost because of all the six percent interest that becomes the sole company to participate in the information society state project which means it will be receiving a look at new contracts as her bank was trading in the black with news that increased its stake in the i said stock exchange from seven to ten percent devices and also yes the process of upgrading. this week. has been continuing strong performance of russia few months approached the retails ex-wife and maglite who probably before me among the russian names which carries a little support. from remain strong to some select the still names will perform and we generally expect it to go spring banks banks in three world specialists billabong expected. their action central bank has decided to keep its key interest rate unchanged at eight percent its policy. that's despite

a big threat high inflation poses to the economy how about get us off the list of all it chief economist of deutsche bank washes as the central banks decision is quite balanced. my view was that. the decision to raise was a requirement is the proper one given the conditions that are currently of. financial markets i think the decision not to raise interest rates was partially modeled baited by some of the weak growth figures we've seen in the beginning of the year at the same time there is a continued emphasis on fighting inflation which isn't true and reflected in the decision to raise reserve requirements and go up today john is the next hour of the latest headlines with phil are coming up next. it's. cool. going.
