otoh the points pushers and i would print certain discipline that are told entirely true winsor tell me touch your real bitch of a good girl how would international flood to achieve every green lower job in total . tripoli says it's ready for any political reform provided the colonel gadhafi remains in power to prevent levy a from slipping further into chaos experts say destabilizing the arab world as part of washington's afterwards to dominate the region. dysfunction in libya and says he's a great guy and the strong supports of overflowing hospitals and the bodies in the street one point to save in the capital city of tripoli going in a few moments ago when you most. there is anger in the u.k. as a 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 orbit is caring of crew of three to the international space station to mark the fiftieth anniversary of your garden's first flight. this is r.t. live from moscow i'm marina joshie as a fight for control over the oil rich libyan coast line continues the u.s. steps back from its leading role in the operation washington will still oversee the logistics of the mission but as encouraged other nato countries to increase their military contribution art is going it should count looks at how libya could be just the start of a wider u.s. goals in their region. as waves of public rage sweep through north africa and the middle east will cowards jump on that as many analysts say in an attempt to direct the waves of on rest in a way that's my. favorable for that in libya forging relationship with the

opposition so that if gadhafi goes there are people there to do business with as syria particularly raph 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 or that magically to the global power elite or the western powers interested objectives in more powerful in the middle east as for example egypt will do or used to do with hosni mubarak and definitely kuwait and saudi arabia syria is iran's closest ally in the region and the cost to support the remark in syria are fun come with mentions of you ran syria is obviously a strategic ally for granted in the in the region and without syria iran loses their their bridge their land bridge to lebanon and they're hit hezbollah in force and so of course has the wind suffering if the syrian regime was to fall and that

would be stabilizing iran and weaken its power in the region which would be an obvious benefit to being called american forces some expert even believe that this stabilize ation is part of a strategy the west perceived in the region we are seeing with a strategy which includes our moms 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 even with very few perhaps no friendly countries in the region and that will then lead erode pretty much along at least in the arab world and will facilitate further turmoil inside iran although the u.s. secretary of state has ruled out and merrick has involvement in syria for now the countries the as secretary card of the syrian army to quote empower revolution and follow the example of egypt's military syria. a rather.

late. to saudi arabia many say 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 hundred 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. tripoli has been condemning the international intervention describing the coalition

forces as modern day crusaders three weeks into the intervention the league and government has launched a diplomatic campaign to negotiate a solution to the conflict archies falsely or has more from the capital. company has always said that any kind of western intervention is nothing short of immoral and illegal speaking here in tripoli the government spokesperson mr mousavi put in 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 forming the whole political system one of those needed to be done with the 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 gadhafi misstate will leave now the country's deputy foreign minister has been in the turkish capital of ankara there is a deal on the table that would possibly involve the two sons of the gulf overseen

a transition to constitutional democracy but one of them is reports we have no confirmation of that from tripoli per se the problem is your position as well is really 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 atari's to say that they officially recognize the opposition as the legitimate voice of this country and tripoli has with. this decision libyan state television has been showing pictures of gadhafi he is outside his compound where he is saluting his supporters but we have no one i independently verify 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 the long queues outside shops where people are simply trying to buy the basic food items as opposed to fighting on the

ground goes in still located in two stages in the east of the city of bread there and in the west in the city of misrata and regular itself there have been no major is strikes for twenty four hours while you must write a monday off to deal with the for. this time there were thirty six hours we are hearing and indeed the money to the crisis is going to start so we residents say there is no fuel the electricity no food no water and that they are simply slipped between the fighting and the clashes between pro and. pals they are reporting there and coming for its fury over government spending on the intervention in libya. taking money away from those they should be spending more money or find out why anger across the u.k. is mounting and made it accusations that britain's model of democracy just isn't working. the deputy foreign minister of iran mohammad ali hard to lie told r.t. that afghanistan is

a strong example of how international intervention and 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 their reaction to that the west and the u.s. leadership is trying to use these changes for their own purposes and against him 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 permanent bases in the region and that is a radical reason as many and again. we are keeping you updated on the latest developments in libya and around the globe on air and online so you can follow our twitter stream anytime you like it's our com and our correspondents are

over swinge ing 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 facade i don't think they're listening to anyone they're just making up their own mind about everything really we don't have a say and if you. don't see them doing. this. come today because i work in social care and social care so. this how much money they're spending in libya sending planes over the centuries. and taking money away from eyes it should be spending more money but the will of these people is one which lawmakers willingly ignore one 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 all right political class they all go to the same schools they go to the same universities they get the same jobs and research offices and they spent their careers in politics having never had jobs in the real world how they operate speak like shape we don't. of the pope and of independent thinkers sitting in the house of commons prepared to make counter-arguments in a league of their own and the 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 gordon brown was handed the job when tony blair quit during his eventual successes roth. what you thought was a politician. but david cameron was only rescued from a minority government with a deal of his own sharing power with the party that has put it 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 is simply fantasy is the root of this special relationship with washington that they are prepared to do everything necessary to maintain that relationship while claiming 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 of deep deep dysfunction of the heart of the british so-called democracy the past six months it's been 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 are emmett r.t. london. russian pilot constantine he was on trial in new york for alleged

charged with terrorism activities after being seized by secret service agents. japan is dumping more than ten thousand tons of radioactive water from the crippled fukushima plant into the pacific the move is aimed at freeing up storage space for more highly contaminated water flowing from their reactor as a result of last month's massive earthquake and tsunami and while tokyo says this doesn't pose and are mental threat and a panel nuclear energy consultant sean gurney things serious consequences are inevitable. the only other normal circumstances the release of such volumes 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 a russian vessel was spotted off loaded for stock discharging nuclear waste into the sea of japan the japanese government was reached and led the charge for

a ban on all nuclear dumping seat well the ocean currents are in that part of japan . in the first instance the contamination will spread north and south of the coastline from the fukushima power plant which means to the very coast that been devastated by the earthquake in the tsunami so that's going to add to further unease on the part of the people living in order to plan a longer term to redo new clients particularly cesium which is the 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 with a panic we're at a consultant schonberg talking to us from germany and coming out here in our team blast off from buying our. garden flies again fifty years after mankind first ventured into space find out more in just a few minutes. palestinian engineer has been charged with organizing terrorist

ordinary engineer but up and up and he has always abstained from apology and daily for ages his only involvement in politics was that he watched news and joe lesion but that is called awareness and not terrorism i'm sure israel wants him simply because he knows everything about the only car station in palestine where he worked . i would see she went missing in ukraine in february allegedly kidnapped on the train a month later the israeli prime minister confirmed the man was behind bars in israel i stir and. 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 this time of the reason king of also raise their eyebrows this will go on the single intelligence service turned to us just resisting a criminal you received a position of any special operation either way experts say the trial will probably

a business update was carrying mail accounts stay with us. i welcome to our business bulletin good to have you with us this hour so the prices have jumped to their highest thirty one years as war prices helped fuel investment demand for the precious metal and it's now close to forty dollars an ounce. gold to tell us more about what's happening on the market thanks jim for coming to the program now a record high so price is justified and what's driving high interest in this precious metal as we see it people are buying well there's a couple of things i think we see in general over the past decade really increasing

interest in precious metals as a store of wealth as an investment vehicle i mean we silvers called the poor man's gold and definitely the things in the factors that are driving the gold price higher are doing the same thing for silver in general although silver only gold has industrial demand the real driver of the price is an industrial surface investment people were buying it on the market as a way of diversifying their portfolio and storing it's a proxy for gold but you know i think there's sort of one of the same idea right it's a way to make sure that your wealth is protected from inflation. in any particular currency but this summer a good investment opportunity because some people say that when this investor interest. we could see a shot for the profits well you can see anything that if investor interest goes away i think that he thinks that if you really look at the situation was happening over the past decade this is not a fan this is

a very long term story. and the reason for it is that the. most countries around the world in particular the u.s. have been very loose in their fiscal policy very loose in terms of their budgetary policies and what that's done is created a lot of inflation in the space and just now coming in coming to the surface and so investors are trying to store there will always work and i put my money to make sure that it doesn't get inflated away as you know in russia in the one nine hundred ninety s. people saw in a very short period of time their life savings more has become worthless so people are aware of that certainly savvy investors are aware that so they're buying things like real estate or buying things like gold in things like silver so you can see that on any given day better sentiment might go away but the long term trend really is still in place i haven't seen anything that suggests a long term trend is so you're saying a long time trying how far will the rally go and how volatile yeah you know it's hard to say i feel it's my crystal ball and see what i can say is the following is that in one thousand in two thousand and eight when the financial basically the

situation got pretty serious and there was a lot of liquidity pumped into the system both from the u.s. and from the e.c.b. and in europe from other national banks. what that did essentially was if you think about the economics. it's the velocity of money how fast money goes i mean the overall value of money in the system is sort of the true nature of your economic size so in two thousand and eight when everything sort of came to a screeching halt with the with the banks that is they threw more money at it so that more or less the economic value if you will of space stayed the same as the last three went down with the increase the overall money what's happening now everyone's talking about oh well you know countries are growing employment is now going down you know everything's on the rebound all that money has already been pumped into the system and there's really no practical way of taking money. and so i think the silver plate and the whole price of a long way to go before it's really so no worries of it going down and people

losing money not at all no worries about going down you know to have a complete paradigm shift. thank you very much thank you. as always have time for i'll be back with more in fifteen minutes how could you. wealthy british style. is nothing to write.
