u.s. spends millions of dollars to justify its wars abroad to the people in those countries why violence makes a tough sell. also crew of the international space station prepared to celebrate fifty years since he first flights into orbit inspired generations to reach for the stars those stories still to come for you here on r.t. the libyan opposition claims nato is hit one of their tank positions witnesses say up to fifty people were killed in the strike meanwhile the rebels have sent their first crude oil shipment to qatar but he's got a lot has more now from the rebel controlled city of benghazi. according to some reports nato did attack accidentally a number off with the rebel fighters and there are tanks around twenty kilometers away from the oil rich town of currently under control all forgot that these troops

and the doctors in patches davia which is mostly to the east of bragg are basically equal to the next big city after bin guys even doctors base there say that thirteen people were killed in this attack however we do also hear these reports from the witnesses awful what happened there today earlier and they say that in fact it didn't seem like it were nato planes but it seems in fact that those this attack was conducted by god die fees forces and it killed not thirteen but at least forty or forty five rebels the checkpoints all through the rubble so forces so right near arch davia which is around fifty sixty kilometers east of grego we were attacked and basically sent the rebels running in can us retreating once again and one of our teams was actually filming there at the time they see that. they didn't hear any planes they didn't hear anything they just just saw all of

a sudden various explosions going on right in very area so everybody get in their cars and to just back away from that place including the rebels and he will be sold the army being evacuated buses filled with soldiers are going faster than the world half the time and they say it was really chaos they actually one of the rebels actually jumped into their car just running away from this attack and it all comes after after one of the biggest oil deposits currently under control got duffy that came under attack earlier gadhafi is accusing mito of doing good. in fact the alliance says that it was duffy's job everybody here is now saying that nato is not doing enough you don't think that you know is complying with the obligations of the resolution of the united nations to protect civilians and some people including

those of all governments they even say that. they should ask the united nations to stop this operation altogether and we talked to some of the locals and the rebels and prepared this report that. the libyan army moved any served his country all the way to retirement but now he's fighting for the revolution and is among the few rebels from the front with military training and experience. their forces are not even we are ready to fight to the death but with these weapons we don't stand a chance against gadhafi since need to control whereas on operation it's going to need more than one thousand sorties into media including four hundred technicians the u.n. screens around a third of that have peace forces have now been destroyed. from the skerries on the ground the rebels are still taking a pounding. lead to his fields there are civilians in a strike on

a daily have more interest in here as they have been doing taking proper actions against the gadhafi troops and the rebels taking the town of regen means clearing the way west we just wanted seen they will have to do. a new series of attacks by going at these forces he want to retreat. just a week ago because he was a revolutionary more it seems the entire cd pre-season for its support was the front line key to that list and goes beyond me. can't be the it seems. all the us is tactics it's a crazy as well. this one are becoming common theme. music media feeling to protect. the our ask for help and be demanding it.

all the way through for gadhafi to kill us all we demand a new u.n. resolution which would allow us. to say arming the rebels alone wouldn't house when war with the rebels needed is not so much using arms without really really being anything before spano of servicing the us and egypt. forces going beyond the mandate will be one that is due north winds up. going off in libya. international involvement in libya is directly connected with the interests of big corporations says the former governor of minnesota jesse ventura his interview is coming up in the next hour here on our table tis a brief preview for you. but i'm sort of say we can't bring that preview for the moment that interview will be come up in full

a little later though here on well as the u.s. and nato are involved in conflicts around the world there's another campaign going on alongside with millions of american taxpayer dollars pouring into it but is lauren lyster explores the information war being waged on local populations. the reality of war and war is hell and that's why you only go to war when it's an absolute interest to your national security it's one reason why coalition forces you battled with an information war to fight alongside the real one playing out on the ground in afghanistan for example so it's not widely known by these milestones the longest war in american history we have surpassed the soviet campaign there we have spent. money but instead carries this message the morning after the welcome to the new day of hope and reconstruction in the war torn region which accommodates conflict but he longs for peace that's the nato version told in this

promotional film it was given to international journalists like myself at the annual nato summit presumably to spread the message public relations after it's like of these are nothing new and commander of the nato forces the united states spends billions of dollars alone to market its version of the war to the world including p.r. at home and abroad u.s. funded media as well as psychological operations for example a leaked classified cia document revealed a plan for ally it's a quote strategic communication program across nato troop contributors they could provide a buffer if out of the becomes opposition to fight declining public support for the war from france and germany the cia tapped afghan women as the perfect messenger to make an emotional appeal about the taliban and professed their aspirations for the future as this woman does here storm one can call some media picked up on this

message to hear time magazine equates pulling out u.s. troops from afghanistan with brutality against women however you remember about this poor girl this happened while he was troop through there and it's not clear efforts. this even work it's absolutely impossible to tell but i would be willing to suggest that. it's very ineffective i mean while hillary clinton says the u.s. is losing when it comes to broadcasting its message abroad on state funded t.v. stations unfortunately we are paying a big price for it even though the u.s. has spent one billion dollars alone to broadcast its message to the arab world where it's at war through the state news network. the network has locked in just happen or sent of viewership they know where all showing perhaps you can't tell of war welcome to the new day unless you have a buyer lauren mr archie you. remember you can always catch the latest stories and

portugal has announced that it's on able to deal with this economic crisis and has asked for help the eurozone is now set to cough up for a third successive billion up package which is set to exceed one hundred billion dollars local ross market analyst and author told me earlier that the euro can only sustain itself for the transfer of wealth from rich e.u. nations to their poorer neighbors. as a matter of fact this was already programmed right with the introduction of the euro the only reason i can find to prolong it a little bit. what your was crying for is to keep up the illusion that the euro was working but as a matter of fact it doesn't i don't see how they can prevent this in the future as spain is certainly number four this is discussed in the financial community already if spain is obviously failing and helping is also asking for help from the community this will possibly be a big problem for the eurozone on your other hand what the markets want to see of

course is that the weak partners of the eurozone and the strong partners of the eurozone together they're calling this the transfer union which is heavily discussed here in germany nobody wants the union budget here end of the day it will be introduced like the euro itself because the euro cannot survive without this transfer union on the other hand of course a transfer union means their wealth. from the witcher countries to the poorer countries and of course the question remains how can you help those countries if they cannot help themselves it means that also bankruptcy must be a lot not only for big banks and small bones but also for countries as long as the system is not working as long as we don't allow bankruptcy is the whole system is ill somehow and has no chance of survival. today artie's mexico is there and stacy herbert it debunks the superficial optimism around the u.s.

a story beyond russian soyuz spacecraft successfully to the international space station two russians and american will spend five months there bringing the total oh yes yes crew to six the flight was dedicated to your government the first manned space ship just a week before the fiftieth anniversary of its initial reply but as of these tests are silly reports even today on the colonies legacy is this current generations to for their tree. after all spend most of their lives preparing for the possibility of going to space the russian cosmonaut for example takes about two hundred a year and that's out of this visit will pray they will have to go through all the hard work men and women put into their professions one of the things they fear is something a little more romantic and that's an unwavering childhood dream of literally reach for something aspiring cosmonauts surrogate every tire watches intently as the so you see i'm a twenty one spacecraft is poised to to its vertical position at only fourteen he's

so certain about his future that he's already made headway he went to the u.s. and became the first youngster to spend fifteen minutes floating in the zero gravity environment possible not straining so much with you and the plane was doing ok i thought the weight of my body was if i was to intreat i could hardly leave my hands but this early start is something the first man in space you regarding could himself have related to and his feet fifty years ago marked the beginning of a long list of achievements in manned space exploration. from walking on the route. to building the massive international space station. but it doesn't stop there next possibly a hotel in orbit yet another space dream. for this hotel project there will be full

rooms of the station with enough food to set. people will be trivial so that everyone can also stars i've always wanted to become a cosmonaut that didn't happen but i'm sure that one day i'll travel to space tourist price tag is a hefty thirty five to forty million dollars but there is a cheaper alternative another project aims to send space tourists to lower earth orbit where they'll spend five minutes in zero gravity and see the planet in its entirety for two hundred thousand dollars with a. large groups of people to run one hundred kilometers above ground be able to seal planets and the course. to do this they plan to use the ability of this plane to carry cargo on its body the plane will take off with a small space shuttle which will be released at a certain altitude but arguably the most ambitious of space projects is the mars five hundred experiment simulating a voyage to the restaurant in the event this global ambition becomes reality and

when that time comes young sergei is certain he'll be ready to take on the challenge now mark i want to be the first to travel to mars and to other planets as well. you can leave there in future. and like many space men and women he believes it will only be a matter of time that's our cilia r.t. baikonur in kazakhstan. well that's news update for you for the moment this i'll be back with a summary of all my imports in about eight minutes from now in the meantime we've got the latest from the world of business with dmitri stay with us live here in moscow. donna. in indonesia oh she's available in hotels coming down

a weakening dollar also contributing to the growth as a result w c i need one hundred ten dollars per barrel branches above one hundred twenty two when. interest rates in the eurozone are gone up for the first time in three years the european central bank has raised its key rate twenty five basis points to one point two five percent now this move is likely to put more pressure on single currency nations struggling to pay their debts are now going to portugal which is finally asked for a bailout from the e.u. that name out seventy five billion euros. when you've got countries that idea into or trying to do it or stare as you do is increase taxes and reduce public spending when you try and impose increase interest rates on them as well that's just another factor that's going to hurt them as well so i don't think there's hardly ready for it but there doesn't seem to be any true choice at the moment and certainly the c b a not factoring that into account when the window of raising interest rates

russia's consumer confidence has declined in the first quarter of this year following gains of twenty the index of consumer confidence fell three points to minus. the decline was driven by rising commodity prices and inflation which pushed above nine percent disposable incomes to a negative in the first two months of the year after sixteen months of gains. all the drop was quite surprising we attribute it to klein so you know inflation and there are very weak real wages growth so inflation there they income growth probably consumers need to feel this so we think that this might be a reason for the central bank q poll in mind. because consumer is not is not feeling. the liberalization of the european gas market has come in for sustained criticism at moscow's international energy for the e.u.
