tripoli says it's ready for any political reform provided the colonel gadhafi remains in power to prevent libya from a slipping of further into chaos some experts say the stabilizing the arab world is part of washington's efforts to dominate the region. just fine in libya and says he's a great guy and a strong supporter of overselling hospitals and the bodies in the streets on point to save in the capital city of tripoli joining in a few moments and i'll bring you more. in the u.k. as the country spends millions on the war in libya the public sector at home is neglected and slashed. and a russian

a space ship named after the first man in all things occurring through three to the international space station to mark the fiftieth anniversary of your current first flight. it's just after two pm here in moscow twelve pm in tripoli you with r.t. now as the fight for control over the oil rich libyan coastline continues for us are steps back from its leading role in the operation profitable still oversee the just takes off the mission but house encouraged other countries to increase its military contribution. looks at how libya could be the just the start of a wider u.s. and 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 north we were able for that in libya forging relationship with the opposition so that if gadhafi goes their people there to do business with as syria popular wrath gather steam some experts say western powers might see the advantages of getting involved there to these three countries and syria are the main countries that will not align themselves magically to the global power elites or western powers interested objectives in north africa in the middle east as for example egypt or used to with hosni mubarak and definitely kuwait and saudi arabia syria is iran's closest ally in the region and the cost to support the regard in syria are fun come with mentions of you ran syria is obviously a strategic ally for iran in the in the region and without syria iran loses there there are bridge their land bridge to lebanon and they're hit hezbollah in force

and 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 calling american forces some experts even believe that this stabilize ation is part of a strategy the west perceives in the region you're seeing reflected a strategy which includes amongst other points the generalized weakening of the sovereign nation states of a sovereign. 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 leave iran 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 and grab aleutian and follow the example of egypt's military syria. a road of.

some heat. thank you just the way libya many say you ran down would be a tough car and no matter how much washington you 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 precursor to the shah of iran overthrowing the democratically elected government of mossad 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 would leave you being torn apart by the 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 out reporting

from washington r.t. . tripoli has been condemning the international role calling on coalition forces to withdraw three weeks now into the intervention khadafi and for use on a three country trip in the southern europe to negotiate a diplomatic solution to the conflict and it's a policy about has more for a couple. he 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 him said that he was optimistic that they could be a political solution to the current crisis is over the government was open to holding a referendum to holding elections to forming the whole political system but that one of us 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 mistake or leave the problem is that the opposition as well is really an international community

would simply not sit sit with 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 make a tarries to say that they officially recognize the opposition as the legitimate voice of this country and tripoli has granted this decision libyan state television has been showing pictures of he is outside his compound very few saluting his supporters but we have no one i independently verify exactly when these pictures 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 gotten 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 question on the ground goes in still located in two strangers in the east in the city of bragger in the west in the city of misrata and gregor itself there have been no major airstrikes for

twenty four hours while you must rotter monday afternoon was the first time there were strikes after thirty six hours we are hearing that and in the humanitarian crisis in a structured way residents say there is no fuel really to city no food no water and that they are simply trapped between the fighting and the clashes between pro and anti gadhafi forces. live reporting from where you are we are live from moscow and coming up for you event of a government over the u.k. its involvement in. taking money away from us they should be spending more money and my. wife is mounting across the u.k. amid accusations that britain's model of democracy just isn't working. out the neverending crisis in afghanistan is the outcome of international intervention that's according to the deputy foreign minister of iran mohammed 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 their reaction to that the west and the us 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 good production is no 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 only boosts radicalism as many afghans are against. now we are keeping you updated on the latest developments in libya and of course all around the world on air and online having a screen now you can see you have lots of updates for you on our twitter stream check it out at any time twenty four thousand other underscore com and our

a coalition government they said. 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 but i don't think listening to anyone a moment they just make you know very mind about everything really we don't have to say anything. i don't see that. i come today because i work in social conversation so. much money they're spending in libya sending planes. and taking money away from isis 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 their 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 the research officers base where their career is in politics having never had jobs in the real world probably operate speak and write shape we don't have independent not independent thinkers sitting in the house of commons prepared to make counter-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 golden brown was handed the job when tony blair quits during his eventually successes wroth usual office because of what he thought was politics. but david cameron was only rescued from a minority government with a deal of his own sharing 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 so committee. to these kind of simply fantasy of the of the special relationship with washington that they are prepared to do everything necessary to maintain that relationship while they ring 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 the past six months it's been a series of demonstrations in london and across the u.k. gates 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 an authority. and i still to come here on the program on arts he missing us to an engineer has resurfaced in an israeli court charged with terrorism activities after being seized by secret service agents plus.

current fly again fifty years after mankind of the first adventure into space. just a few minutes right here on r.t. . has dumped more than a ten thousand tons of radioactive water from the crippled fukushima plants into the pacific the emergency move was aimed at freeing up storage space for more highly contaminated water. power plants devastated during last month's massive earthquake and tsunami will continue leaking as workers struggle to plug a damaged reactor radiation levels in a sea water surrounding the site legal limit and while japanese officials claim the release won't pose an environmental threat some experts strongly disagree . the only other normal circumstances the release of such

a volume 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 voted off land of course stuck discharging nuclear waste into the sea of japan the japanese government was outraged and led the charge for a ban on all nuclear dumping at sea well the ocean currents and in that part of japan mean that in if in the first instance the contamination will spread north and south of the coastline from the fukushima power plant which means to the very cause 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 that part of your plan longer term the reader nuclides particularly cesium which is the half life of thirty years will proceed environment for many many decades and i think that the admission but they haven't really got the situation under control is what we see today. that's our independent nuclear energy consultant shaun maloney talking to us from germany

are now let's turn our attention to out of the ivory coast where forces loyal to alassane ouattara other countries internationally recognized leader claim to have taken the presidential palace as comes after un and french forces launched a series of air strikes against incumbent president or the u.n. says that the attacks were carried out to protect civilians goes whereabouts currently on clear he's been refusing to cede power ever since losing the last november's election and hundreds have been killed in clashes between. supporters of the russian of thor and a minister i mean time says the un and france had no right taking sides in the conflict. with. the un peacekeepers and supporting french forces in ivory could have started military action taking its side. we're now looking into the legality of the situation because the peacekeepers were authorized to remain neutral nothing new and emergency briefing in the un security council has been here all the

planning a request we have not received any concrete we will keep looking into the matter of what was. now a palestinian engineer has been charged with organizing terrorist activities by an israeli court. sixty he is also accused of conducting training for palestinian militants in gaza he was kidnapped from a train in ukraine by israeli agents back in february but he's alexey investigates . the rocket got farther off hamas that is how television has labeled this man palestinian deal with c.c. israel claims that engineer was behind the development of kasam rockets and missiles that can penetrate steel how will we he's accused of developing kassam and grad rockets and creating rockets with a range of over six kilometers like that what it should be devoting way belonging to hamas is a simple accusation the charges referring not only to weapons design and military

training but to planning a murder attempt such accusations may send him to prison for many years. something his ukrainian wife could never believe their legal claims that are has always been an ordinary engineer for the finale he has always abstained from politics and gained freedom fighters he's only involvement in politics was that he watched news and television but that is called awareness and not terrorism i'm sure israel wants him simply because he knows everything about the only past asian 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 that the man was behind bars in israel. israel's intelligence is known for striking without warning last year as suspected hamas militant was assassinated in dubai without the consent of the emirates security service but this time of the words and king of also raise their eyebrows with all the all new single intelligence service turned to us just

resting a criminal received no notification of any special operation either the. experts say the trial will probably last for months as it's unclear what evidence against i will see she will be produced very close and 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 minister will be traveling over to israel this week with a tricky mission trying to get answers from the israeli counterparts as to why the operation was performed without any warning something many experts describe as a breach of the country's sovereignty i think serious ascii art scene reporting from kiev ukraine. trying to nearly twenty minutes past the hour here in moscow you with us here but some other headlines from around the world now at this hour to

nine eleven attacks on the u.s. has been denied the right to be tried in a civil court instead he'll face a military commissions at guantanamo bay shaikh mohammed and four other terrorist suspects will be put on trial at the detention center obama previously vowed to abolish unable to overcome political opposition against the closure of the center for u.s. president recently lifted a free new military terror trials a suspect is being held by the u.s. since being captured in pakistan in two thousand and three he has confessed to a host of terrorist activities in addition to eleven. nearly fifteen years since the first round ventured into space today yuri gagarin is flying again a space ship named after the pioneer as a blasted off from back on or in a kayak stand and this time it's carrying three men to the international space station. was in baikonur to see the crew's preparations and of course lift off.

but here's a lot of excitement definitely especially among vs spectators for the we're going to see the takeoff of the crew two russian cosmonauts of alex on the some of which they are buddies sankoh as well as nasa astronaut ron garan well for the last a few hours leading up to this point right here we have been following the very go here three flights traditions if you will very interesting indeed especially for a first time is it even those who have been here several times say it's never quite the same t.v. whole process a result of our getting out of your currency facility first they left the signatures on their doors as have their feet assessors and then walked to the out to the crowd and they we saw them in their space suits very interesting to see if their gear of say quite an emotional farewell to the people of what we think there are good by some of them but this is a very special mission if you will because this is happening close to the fiftieth anniversary of you to get god it's a first space flight happening right here with what they call the current start

this is scary it all began with nasa astronaut on board ron garan it his words his son that fifty years ago on pat's day mankind became a different species that's able to go beyond the boundaries of their. lives to be a physical side very early you can hear the crowd here you can hear that you can hear that hearing quite an amazing sight here nor do you guys well it will take less than ten minutes to get into two orbits is zero gravity and better a couple of days to reach the international space station where they will join.

three of their colleagues and ron garan is a very tech savvy astronaut he did say he will try his very best to keep us updated using twitter that is sending us tweets as well as blogs that we do look forward to reading about their experiences up there in space. so here i thought i want to retire to nasa astronaut michael baker was also. trying to see the crew off as a veteran of four special five c. told r.t. over it feels and what it looks like is well before you get into spacecraft you look a little scared it's only natural. but then once you get in it's all business and you need to go you know you miss having like a nice shower and think. you some food nice food and the food is ok and space but it's not the best. solution is to friends and family to plan it is one of the most beautiful places seen from space which you could never get tired of looking when he

took a cubicle in very fragile place everyone says that that's in this case because it is very true when you see the atmosphere of the years it looks like it's only a little bit going to take place looks very very fragile something that we really need to take care of. now there's a plenty more and more all the stories we're covering of course at our web site in the five exclusive videos opinions and plenty of other features of course you know it's politics dot com here's a quick taste of what's working for you there right now now if you the latest space launch and of coming under her story of the garlands first point have you reaching for the stars we have something more for you new data collected by an international group of astronomers is casting doubts over a fundamental theory of astrophysics. about here on earth scientists have discovered a new form of bacteria in the ocean which apparently consumes man made trash get

all the details right now it's the talk of. the. right now after the business we go with kareena hiker revelatory so correct me if i'm wrong here but we're hearing that libyan rebels are expected to start their first oil exports open and perhaps tuesday yes that's right it will be the first exports from libya since khadafi order production shut down due to the unrest now this greek own tanker called the equator is due to dark and broke in the east of the country and the news has done little to pacify the markets who prices are trading at close to thirty miles high brant crude is still cost over one hundred twenty dollars a barrel while light sweet is a fraction over one hundred and eight dollars a barrel peter westernesse antón says there's enough global spare capacity to cover lost production and north africa other middle east prices still carry higher risk

premium. i think it all depends on how i see this in the middle east or north africa becomes because at the moment if you look at the countries where you've had you have protest and where the obvious now we have a war libya egypt have 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 production would of course completely produce more or less all perspective past the at this point of time so from your in theory you could argue that you know they can put on the tap quite easily and sort of balance to market but at the same time one has to remember that even three months ago regimes like to egyptian one and the libyan one who considers being stable 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 oil price for sure there will be distributed 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. now let's look at the markets a european markets are lower on tuesday both the footsie and the dax are setting point three percent a new credit downgrade of portugal by moody's rating agency is further dampening sentiment. yes and struggling music and games retailer h. m. v. had down nine percent of the company issued its first profit warning since september. here in russia the markets reversed by their games and drop the first day of three that. declined in new york trading and that is putting some pressure on energy stocks now let's look at some individual movers here after setting over a percent so is look all but metal stocks are stronger left in by higher global prices how precious metals like gold and silver dollars gold is getting more than a percent this hour now norsk little is also high after the company started buying back one point two billion dollars of its shares on the open market. russia may see

the arrival of long desired foreign capital by the end of the year by finance minister alex they couldn't warns it will probably be the wrong kind of money and will not mean investment climate has improved. easing in the u.s. helps boost the american economy but it also creates excess liquidity on the financial markets and to great speculative capital in emerging markets weak and she capital inflows by the end of the year but this will be speaking if you can't do the tricky part on all prices and the stronger ruble but it will not be the quality capital we are seeking in the way it will mean our investment climate has improved . so i have for this hour but i do long to logon to our web site r.t. dot com slash business for more business.

if. the. russians would be so much brighter if you knew about some from first impressions some. of these for instance on t.v. dot com.
