in time to even desoto telling us that it's hard to see points pushers and i would print certain discipline but it's no entirely true wizard to me touch your religion or guru good how would international floods achieve every green little fortune in total. tripoli says it's ready for any political reform provided that colonel gadhafi remains in power to prevent levy of from slipping further into chaos experts say destabilizing the arab world as part of washington's efforts to dominate the region . dysfunction in libya and says he's a great guy and a strong with reports of overflowing hospitals and bodies in the street i'm pleased to say the capital city of tripoli joined me in a few moments and i'll bring you more. there is anger in the u.k. as the country spends millions of pounds on the war in libya while the public

sector at home is neglected and slashed. and the russian space ship named after the first man in the war business carrying a crew of three to the international space station to mark the fiftieth anniversary of your garden's first why. this is r t live from moscow with me marina joshie it's a fight for control over the oil rich libyan coastline continues the u.s. steps back from its leading role in the operation washington has encouraged other nato countries to increase their military contribution with a coalition campaign and its third week artie's nine is to count looks at how libya could just be the start of washington's wider goals in the region. as waves of

public rage sweep through north africa and the middle east world powers jump on them as many analysts say in an attempt to direct the waves of unrest in a way that's most favorable for them in libya forging relationship with the opposition so that if gadhafi goes there are people there to do business with as syria party will wrath gather steam some experts say western powers might see the advantages of getting involved there to these three countries iran and syria are the main countries that will not align themselves automatically to the global power elite or the western powers interests of objectives in more of africa in the middle east as for example egypt will do or used to do with hosni mubarak and definitely kuwait saudi arabia syria is iran's closest ally in the region and the cost to support the revolving syria affan khan was mentions of you ran syria is obviously a strategic ally for iran in the in the region and without syria iran loses there

are there are bridge their land bridge to lebanon and they're hit has the one forces so of course hezbollah will suffer if the syrian regime was to fall and that would destabilize iran and weaken its cower in the region which would be an obvious benefit and even call american forces some experts even believe that this stabilize ation is part of a strategy the west perceives in the region we are seeing reflects a strategy which includes amongst other points the generalized weakening of the sovereign nation states of the sovereign genes in the arab world in order to try to isolate iran. with very few perhaps no friendly countries in the region and that will then leave iraq pretty much alone at least in the arab world and will facilitate further turmoil inside iran although the u.s. secretary of state has ruled out america's involvement in syria for now the country's defense secretary card for the syrian army to quote empower arab

revolution and follow the example of egypt's military syria. they were. just what. you ran down would be a tough call and no matter how much washington would want the regime there to fall for now it's seen as a mission impossible i'm sure that there are some in the u.s. who would love to attack iran and there are others who would like to take over the iranian opposition i think they know that the iranian opposition is not so fond of the united states they have a long memory in iran people remember the role of the united states in overthrowing the the precursor to the shah of iran overthrowing the democratically elected government of mosul there back in one thousand fifty three so i don't think the u.s. would be welcomed and i think many in washington know that with libya being torn apart by war and anti-government protests gaining momentum in syria the question on

everyone's mind is who might be next i'm going to check our reporting from washington r.t. . next we crossed a trickle way to get the latest on the situation the ground from our to use correspondent there. now what's triple his reaction to the suggestion that the west is directing events in the arab world. but somebody has always said that any kind of western intervention is nothing short of immoral and illegal sneaking here in tripoli the government spokesperson mr abraham said that he was optimistic that there could be a political solution to the current crisis he said that the government was open to holding a referendum to holding elections to reforming the whole political system but that one of those needed to be done with a libyan leader moammar gadhafi at the helm he says that he is needed to move the process forward and he also says that the international community has no right to say whether or not a good athlete in a state will leave now the country's deputy foreign minister has been in the

turkish capital of ankara holding talks we reportedly understand that there is a deal on the table that would possibly. revolve the two sons of gadhafi overseeing a transition to constitutional democracy but none of that is reports we have no confirmation of that from for the first say the problem is that the opposition as well as many an international community would simply not exit system and deal that would still see gadhafi and members of his family involved in the leadership of this country the italians are now the latest to join the party after the french and italians to say that they officially recognize the opposition as the legitimate voice of this country and tripoli has with. this decision we're also hearing from the british that should any members of the libyan government enter the u.k. and publicly denounce the loyalty to moammar gadhafi person will lift travel bans against them. well paul one of the situation on the front line this morning. well

the united states as it's planned to do has now withdrawn from frontline operations it is providing it is providing logistical and intelligence support and this is also widely understood as an attempt for other nato members to up the contribution to the no fly zone here the british prime minister david cameron has said that he is deploying more tornado jets to libya he has also said that the libyan leader is increasingly straightest and increasingly looking for a way out of this whole situation libyan state television has been showing pictures of gadhafi he is outside his compound where he is saluting his supporters but we have no by independently verifying exactly when these these photographs were taken but certainly here in tripoli there is a sense of increasing frustration and the first time we are hearing members of the public beginning to speak about the possible downfall of gadhafi and this is largely triggered by the shortages of fuel and even long queues outside shops where people are simply trying to buy basic food items as far as the fighting on the

ground goes in still located in two stages in the east of the city of gregor and in the west in the city of misrata in bragger itself there have been no mater is strikes for twenty four hours while you must water monday afternoon was the first time there is strikes after thirty six hours we are hearing of an impending humanitarian crisis in misrata where residents say there is no fuel no electricity no food no water and that they are simply trapped between the fighting and the clashes between pro and anti gadhafi forces. thanks very much indeed for bringing us the latest from tripoli policy are there. this is actually live from moscow coming up in the program bridge fury over government spending on the intervention in libya. take money away from us they should be spending more money or find out why anger across the u.k. is mounting a medications that britain's model of democracy just isn't working. in time the deputy foreign minister of iran muhammad ali abbas ally told r.t.

that afghanistan has a strong example of how international intervention in the region only deepens the crisis. countries from outside the region that have military bases here intervening in our affairs they try to change the interaction between governments and people in the region and the changes that are taking place in the arab world in the reaction to that the west and the u.s. leadership is trying to use these changes for their own purposes and if for example the interference of nato has been unsuccessful they've failed to bring security to production is now forty times bigger than before and extremism is on the right but the u.s. is planning to create a permanent basis in the region and that only boosts radicalism as many afghans are against this. hour if you have to get on the latest developments in libya at around the globe on air and whining and follow twitter stream at

a target score. now correspondents are bringing you the latest developments and eyewitness accounts of the fighting going on to find out what paul is lear's hearing in tripoli with the group is going up keeping you up to date from rebel waters benghazi also you can follow us on our facebook page and check out the latest videos from you tube now. more attorney serve being sent to libya courtesy of the british taxpayer the announcement comes as the armed forces are hit by a wave of redundancies as a country continues to tighten its belt and as our lower end reports the intervention along with the cutbacks there's a lot of people in the u.k. questioning their democratic rights. a winter of discontent that's becoming a seething spring british streets regularly filling with massive anti-government protests which start peacefully but retain lee turn violent. their fury is

a vis winching spending cuts by a coalition government they say no one wants and now a new foreign war. but democracy in britain which it prides itself on and keenly exports is wearing thin for some listening to anyone they're just making up their own mind about everything really we don't have a say in anything. i don't see. this. comes of a working social conversation. just how much money they're spending in libya sending planes are sending troops. and taking money away from those there should be spending more money at home but the will of these people is one which lawmakers willingly ignore while a t.v. news poll suggested forty three percent of people oppose military intervention in

libya that elected m.p.'s voted overwhelmingly in favor five hundred fifty seven to just thirteen against what we have in parliament are a political class they all go to the same schools they go to the same universities they get the same jobs the research offices place where their career is in politics i mean about jobs in the real world i will operate speak like shape we don't have independent of independent thinkers sitting about cobbles prepared to make our arguments in a league of their own and a world apart from a public mandate the british don't directly choose their prime minister is certainly not the most recent man at number ten brown was handed the job when tony blair quits sure and his eventual success is wroth hold on. because of what you thought was a forgery. but david cameron was only rescued from a minority government with a deal of his own sharing power with a party that has put third it's

a coalition which an angry electorate sees breaking promises and which listens to washington more than westminster protesters politicians are so committed to to be strong it's simply fantasy of the of the special relationship with washington that they're prepared to to every is necessary to maintain that relationship while bearing you know having no concern for their relationship with the people who elected them in the first place and this is a this is a dysfunction a deep deep dysfunction of the heart of the british so-called democracy that the past six months have seen a series of demonstrations in london and across the u.k. which culminated and hundreds of thousands of people gathering on saturday to protest against cuts to public spending and the war in libya some of those protesters have marched right down this road past the front door of their democracy to say it's not working you're emmet r.t. london. of japan is dumping more than ten thousand tons of radioactive water from

the crippled fukushima plant into the pacific a move is aimed at freeing up storage space for more highly contaminated water flowing from the reactor as a result last month's massive earthquake and tsunami while it doesn't pose an environmental threat and a nuclear energy consultant. thanks serious consequences are inevitable. but in the other normal circumstances the release of such millions of water would be described as catastrophic i think i'd like to draw attention to the fact that in one thousand nine hundred three when the russian vessel was voted off flooded or stuck to its georgia nuclear waste into the sea of japan a japanese government was outraged and led the charge for a ban on all nuclear company that seat well the ocean currents and in that part of japan mean that in the in the first instance the contamination will spread north and south of the coastline from the fukushima power plant which means

a very close to being devastated by the earthquake in the tsunami so that's going to add to further on the on the part of the people living in that part of japan longer term to redo nuclides particularly cesium which is a half life of thirty years will persist in government for many many decades and i think that the admission but we haven't really got the situation under control is what we see today. in the pattern nuclear energy consultant john berney talking to us from germany there coming up in the program here in r.t. blast off from by going to our. garden flies again fifty years after mankind first ventured into space by al gore in just a few minutes. alison an engineer has been charged with organizing terrorist activities by an israeli court there are city is also accused of conducting training for palestinian militants in gaza he was kidnapped from

television but that is cold awareness and not terrorism i'm sure israel wants him simply because he knows everything about the only power station in palestine where he worked i would see if he went missing in ukraine in february allegedly kidnapped on the train a month later the israeli prime minister confirmed that the man was behind bars in israel eyes turned on the side israel's intelligence is known for striking without warning last year a suspected hamas militant was assassinated in dubai without the consent of the emirates security service for this time of the reason king of also raise their eyebrows with all who are. single intelligence service to or into us just. a criminal receives no notification of any special operation either the. experts say the trial will probably last for months as it's unclear what evidence against we see she will be produced because any concerns she has already turned to

a dozen human rights organizations and even the united nations to have her husband released her last hold may rest with those in power and. a delegation from ukraine's interior ministry will be heading over to israel this week they have a tricky task indeed trying to get answers from the israeli counterparts as to why the special operation was performed without any warning something many experts describe as a breach of the country's sovereignty let's see russia see reporting from kiev ukraine. so i think look at some other stories from around the world and it's very close to work forces loyal to alassane ouattara the country's internationally recognized leader claimed to have taken the presidential palace this comes after the u.n. launched a series of airstrikes against incumbent president laurent gbagbo was refusing to cede power following last november's disputed elections the helicopters fired four missiles at a military camp in the main city of abidjan the u.n.
