tripoli says it's ready for any political reform provided the 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 afterwards to dominate the region. dysfunction in libyan cities a bridge that the strong supporters of overflowing hospitals and bodies in the street i'm told to see in the capital city of tripoli join me in a few moments and i'll bring you more. there is anger in the u.k. as a country stands millions of pounds on the war in libya while the public sector at home was neglected and slashed. and

a russian space ship named after the first man in orbit is scaring up her of three to the international space station from mark the fiftieth anniversary regards the first wife. who was an r.c. coming to live from moscow i'm marina joshie welcome to the program as a fight for control over the oil rich libyan coastline continues to u.s. steps back from its leading role in the operation washington will still oversee the logistics of the mission but has encouraged other nato countries to increase their military contribution r.v. is going to take on looks at how libya could be just the start of wider u.s. 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 more 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 popular raphe gather steam some experts say western powers might see the advantages of getting involved there to these three countries. are the main countries that will not align themselves automatically to the global power elite or the western powers interested objectives in north 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 remark in syria after income was mentions of you ran period is obviously a strategic ally for iran in the in the region and without syria iran loses there and there are bridge their land bridge to lebanon and they're hit has fallen forces

so of course hezbollah would suffer 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 be in call american forces some expert even believe that this stabilize ation is part of a threat to the west perceived in the region we are seeing reflects a strategy which includes our mom's 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 and erika's involvement in syria for now the country's defense secretary card of the syrian army to quote empower arab revolution and follow the example of egypt's military syria.

it's. just the way it will be many say eram though would be a tough car and no matter how much washington bureaucracy in there are too strong 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 precursor to the shah of iran overthrowing the democratically elected government of most under 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 would leave you being torn apart by the war and anti-government protests any momentum in syria the question on everyone's mind is who might be next i'm going to check our reporting

from washington our team. tripoli has been condemning the international role calling on coalition forces to withdraw three weeks into the intervention of gadhafi envoys on a three country trip in southern europe to negotiate a diplomatic solution to the conflict archy's policy or has more from the capital. poppy has always said that any kind of western intervention is nothing short of immoral and illegal sneaking here in tripoli the government spokesperson mr putin 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 the libyan leader moammar gadhafi at the helm he says that he is needed to move their purses forward and he also says a big international community has no right to say whether or not gadhafi must stay or leave the problem is that the opposition as well as many of the international community would simply not accept decision 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 the qataris to say that they officially recognize the opposition as the legitimate voice of this country and tripoli has were granted this decision and you can stay television has been showing pictures of gadhafi he is outside his compound where he is saluting his supporters but we have no way of 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 the long queues outside shops where people are simply trying to buy the basic food items as far as the pointing on the ground goes in still located in two three inches in the east in the city of brega and in the west in the city of misrata briger itself there have been no major in strikes for twenty four hours while in misrata monday afternoon was the first time

they were in strikes after thirty six hours we are hearing of an impending humanitarian crisis in misrata where residents say there is no fuel or electricity no food no water and that they are simply trapped the tween the fighting and the clashes between pro and anti gadhafi forces. falsely reporting there and coming out here on r t brits then theory their government. takes the money away from us and should be spending the money. i know my anger across the u.k. is mounting amid accusations of britain's model of democracy just isn't worth. the never ending prizes and afghanistan is the outcome of international intervention and that's according to the deputy foreign minister of iran muhammad ali. 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 in afghanistan for example the interference of nato has been unsuccessful they failed to bring security in their production is down to forty times bigger than the extremism is on the right but the u.s. is planning to create permanent bases in the region and that only boosts radicalism as many afghans are against this. always you can have david on the latest developments in libya at around the globe on the air and ally and follow our twitter stream any time it's r.t. underscore com and our correspondents are in libya bringing you the latest developments and eyewitness accounts of the find out what policy years here in tripoli. keeping you up to date from the rebel. can also follow us on our facebook page and check out the latest videos on you tube.

. really we don't have a say in anything. i don't see anything. else. comes they work in social conversation so on. this how much money they're spending in libya sending planes over the centuries. and taking money away from those they should be spending more money 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 they're 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 operate speak in both right shape we don't have

in the paper enough independent thinkers sitting about problems prepared to make other arguments in a league of their own and a world apart from a public mandate the british don't directly choose their prime ministers certainly not the most recent man at number ten golden brown was handed the job when tony blair quits during his eventual successes wroth old office because of what you thought was a farce. but david cameron was only rescued from a minority government with a deal of his own share in power with the 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 this kind of semi fantasy of the of this. relationship people shoot and they're prepared to go every is necessary to maintain not relationship wall. you know having no

it could carry up to one million barrels of oil now we also know that produced by the rebels will be exempt from the sanctions that are placed on other shipments from the state of the state only be in company meanwhile has hit a record high of one hundred twenty dollars a barrel for credit couldn't one hundred eight for a light sweet at all these high prices are lifting russia's sector because that's the main export revenue for the country we see shares and we've been seeing has of russia's energy majors trading higher throughout last week and beginning of this week on growth the board says and the trends as many say is likely to continue well as we can see now prices have skyrocketed over this period of time corrina thanks very much indeed and looking forward to seeing you with more business news later in the hour. well still to come on the program a missing engineer has resurfaced in an israeli court charged with terrorism

welcome to our business because at this hour libyan rebels are expected to start their first oil export segments as early as tuesday and greet their own tanker called the equator is to dock at the port of the brooke it will be the first exports from the north african country for nearly three weeks since colonel gadhafi ordered production to shut down due to the end rest but the news has done little to pacify the markets crude prices are still trading at close to a thirty mile high brant crude is still cost over one hundred twenty dollars a barrel while west texas intermediate is a fraction over one hundred and eight dollars a barrel in a western ad and says there's enough global spare capacity to cover lost production and north africa and the middle east the price still carry a high political risk premium. i think it all depends on how isolated events in the middle east and north africa becomes because at the moment if you look at the

countries where you've had you have protests and where there was no we have a war libya egypt toppled but if you're looking at the countries of currently and have had some kind of turmoil you look at about five point five million barrels a day if production were to hold completely close more or less or put spare capacity at this point of time so for me you know in theory you could argue that you know they can put on the town where peacefully and so the battles to market but at the same time one has to remember that even three months ago regimes like to egypt from one and the libyan one who considers me still this creates a lot of uncertainty surrounding saudi arabia which is spending a lot of money to calm down the situation in their own country but as long as that risk is there you would always have this pressure on the world price for sure there will be just your political premium whether that's ten dollars for that's thirty dollars i don't know but it's going to be there for quite some time. let's look at the markets european markets have open flat on tuesday and the telecom sector says

those numbers. right of movie star housekeeper sounds pretty nice cut its rating on the stock on the fourth prong of trouble here in most of the markets have reversed their opening moments in the now trading in the red. and isaacs are losing over one of the health percent energy stocks are weighing on and this is the individual index mover. energy majors trading below the waterline metals stocks show a strong mental supported by global crisis precious metal that's. out both gold and silver are trading close to record highs as they benefit from the status as it were not so safe haven political uncertainty of the threat of high global inflation continue to drive the precious metals market so there's now trading at its most expensive out of control says knight. i think what you're seeing is investors across the world. slowly but surely realizing the inflationary pressures of globally are building up and what silver is is just like gold performs the same

function as a store of wealth if you have money that you want to make sure doesn't lose its value you would buy gold or silver to protect yourself from an inflationary issues all silver is much more volatile that actually silver prices are performing gold in the past couple years the world bank's over the past decade in very very loose in terms of their of monetary policies and governments have been very loose in terms of their fiscal policies so you have a lot of the volume of money that's basically been pumped into the system over the past ten years that money really has been taken away so by definition if you have investment i mean if you know and you have all of this money in the system you're going to have inflation it's really no way around it. that's all for now you can find all stories on our website.
