doctors say that thirteen people were killed in this attack however we do also hear these reports from the witnesses all of what happened there today earlier and they say that it killed thirteen at least forty or forty five rebels the checkpoints well for the rebels so forces right near the 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 in the east just so all of a sudden various explosions going on right in their area so everybody get in there of course and to just back to wait from that place including the rebels and he will be so the army being evacuated buses filled with soldiers going faster than the

world at 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 at all. after after one of the biggest oil deposits currently under control of gadhafi that came under attack earlier gadhafi is accusing me to doing that in fact the alliance says that it was duffy's job everybody here is now saying that nato is not doing enough they don't think that nato is complying with the obligations of the resolution of the united nations to protect civilians and some people here who including goes along the interim government they even say they should ask the united nations to stop this operation. all together we talked to some of the locals the rebels prepared this report. 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 at

the front with military training and experience. their forces are not either we are ready to fight to the death but with these weapons we don't stand a chance against gadhafi since needing to control the north winds on operation it's going to mean more than one thousand sorties into media including four hundred technicians the u.n. screens around a third of that at least forces have now been destroyed we despite the help from the skies on the ground the rebels are still taking a pounding. rater is feel there are civilians in misrata and we daily have many more interest. just a week ago i think was the revolution seems the entire seek ways need to support the front line people stood back with the girls missing. the it seems to me all good u.s.

history and it's it's crazy as well as this one are becoming uncommon seen are accusing need to off feeling to protect civilians they are asking for help anymore the demanding it. was their way to fall for gadhafi to kill us all we demand a new u.n. resolution which would allow me nuts. but experts say arming the rebels more room when war with the rebels need months in which you can use your. training. reinforce or servicing the u.s. and egypt. forces going beyond. that. you're going to be in the media. as the u.s. and nato are embroiled in conflicts around the world there's another campaign going on alongside with millions of american taxpayers' dollars pouring into it already

is lower in this to expose the information war being waged on local populations. the reality of war the 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 i coalition forces do battle 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 along toward american history we have surpassed the soviet campaign there we have spent exceptional amount of money but instead carries this message of morning. welcome to the new game of hope and reconstruction in the war torn region which accommodates conflict for peace and 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 troops could. tribute hers they could provide a buffer if apathy 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. some media picked up on this message to hear time magazine equates pulling out u.s. troops from afghanistan with grue taliban against women however the thing to

remember about this poor girl this happened while he was troops were there and it's not clear efforts like this even work it's absolutely impossible to tell but i would be willing to suggest that. it's very ineffective meanwhile 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 that. the network has locked in just half a percent of your worship you know all showing perhaps you can't sell a war welcome to the new day unless you have a buyer lauren mr r t u york. for more on the foreign involvement in libya we're joined from brussels by former built and sort of to go

thank you very much indeed for joining us why do you think france has been one of the leading players in the libyan campaign when it was opposed to the intervention in iraq. well i must tell you that all my life i have worked for international corporation security between the people and i don't believe that the war. today we are living in tripoli or in iraq or in afghanistan is doing to solve the problem of the co-exist and b.c.d. people in that they were democratically of. of the world and how we can build this world that's a little bit my question today what is france the u.s. britain all disagree with you at all aiming obviously to change the situation in libya boy military intervention. well. you can all see that after the decision is

a way. to make this kind of solution by war and i don't believe that for the people around the world because there is truth to candor for it to work look what they are doing today in benghazi and what they don't do in palestine and it is same situation so that there is in currents in the way that they are looking how to build peace and democracy in this rolls what is though the french interest we've got the french interest intervening in libya and also the ivory coast why are we seeing this resurgence of please print quality of broad. to the french did is it a french policy or or is it a sarkozy prissie do it try to convince the world that he is the man. in this capacity in his capacity to be the leader of the g twenty

the g eight and also the way that he tried to survive in france i don't believe that today dece man is looking for are really. three chill for the libyan people all for the afghan people or even in iraq in africa these notes today looking for the security for the people he's looking for a kind of weird to survive for himself clearly you disagree with the nato intervention but let's consider the fact that it's happening now what is the solution in effect nato has got its hands tied many are saying that ground forces should be employed in order to end this deadlock which in at the moment is prolonging this conflict do you not think that is the result of the go in and finish off the. by allowing ground troops to help the rebels. i tell you i believe in negotiation i believe that today even in in in tripoli you can

implement negotiation foreseeing. get afy to change do with that country is today the situation is unacceptable people are not happy with this government than i believe that the way that and before that we have and you're off have a certainly a great responsibility don't look only for the future of our patrol and look a little bit for the future of the people of libya and that must be don't buy a negotiation ok just briefly and finally who will get that negotiate with then where should this diplomatic attempt come from just briefly. you know that old. employee today are coming from europe and they are coming from even from belgium and from france so that we are in currents and i believe that we've the u.n.

we must try to root discover what the wit to negotiate coexistence between the people with the rule that we have trying to implement our own this world for a peaceful capacity to solve the problem that we have together that the people have inside their own country and that we can conclude that by democratic and not only by the trade and. control of the of the own people that's that's not the vision and my position in in despair you it's essentially our own mediterranean sea really interesting to hear your point of view thanks for sharing it with us life aeronauts the former belt. appear karl thank you. well remember you can always catch the latest stories and the best videos on our website at r.t. dot com we've also got all the in-depth analysis updated around the clock so look now at some of the stories we have for you on line at the moment going beyond the

a duty to portugal we did not have to cheat island we made seven billion pounds worth of welfare cuts and then we gave seven billion for i don't know figure that does not work and now strange going to go the same way on our lousy coalition government will give the british people the reuter have a vote and there's no reason they won't give us the vote because they know that seventy four percent of people in a recent a referendum campaign and congress poll said they want to get out of this expensive undemocratic club and the euro is going to crash and burn spain will follow portugal and i say not a penny to portugal not one single penny one single cent one single euro it's nothing to do you know i could give you our country back if the u.k. does cough up the money it's going to pay on the basis of a loan plus interest or a fair u.k. government can make money out of portugal a. question for you but you know i made

a million pounds but i promise you i pay it back even though i'm skint we're not going to get the money back for a while and it is a matter whether it's a loan for whether it's a grant we're not going to get that cash well we want to keep our pound thank goodness we never ever joined this madness how can link the economy of an economic powerhouse while the united kingdom or germany with somewhere like greece get no well the answer is you can't and it's failed and the sooner it collapses love that sound as a democrat how could anyone object to the idea that we should have a vote on whether we stay in or out are not telling people to get out although i will tell you seventy five percent of people do want to get out of the we're not living in a democracy because of the single issue we must have a vote whether we get a referendum no it's kind of becoming irrelevant because this currency is the old monkey party in stretch you know there's power to she says power is no more well let me tell you this currency is dead. it is deceased is is it is extended it can

not survive spain will go next. john gone talk to a little earlier here on r.t. to bring you some more world news this hour a powerful earthquake has struck off the coast of japan triggering a tsunami warning which was later lifted residents of the northeast of the country have been ordered to evacuate to higher ground the quake has knocked out power at several nuclear plants which are using emergency supplies it comes amid the struggle to restore cooling systems at the focus atomic station damaged by last month's deadly tsunami. eleven people have been killed and at least eighteen more wounded as a gunman opened fire in a school in brazil's rio de janeiro police exchanged fire with a man who was carrying two guns before he took his own life the suicide note is reported to be in front of the body the attacker was a twenty four year old former student of the school. well not a story beyond earth russia's soyuz spacecraft has successfully daub to the international space station two russians and an american will spend five total i assess crew to six

a flight was dedicated to the first man in space and it took place just a week before the fiftieth anniversary of his legendary voyage and there's still reports even today upon his legacy is inspiring new generations to follow their dreams what astronauts spend most of their lives preparing for the possibility of going to space now roughened cosmonaut for example takes about two hundred fifty a year and that's a bit different to what the physical afraid they will have to go through but aside from all the hard work man and woman put into their professions one of the thing they fear is something a little more about and that's an unwavering childhood dream of literally reach for something big aspiring cosmonauts. watches intently as the so you see of a twenty one spacecraft is hoisted 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 a zero gravity environment cosman arts training. when the plane was going up i

thought the food weight of my body as if i was drawing treats i could hardly move my hands but this early start is something the first man in space utica got in could himself have related to and his fate fifty years ago marked the beginning of a long list of achievements in manned space exploration. for walking on the moon. to building the massive international space station. but it doesn't stop there next possibly a hotel in orbit yet another space dream but with this hotel project there will be four rooms at the station with enough room for seven people there will be to be the limit so that everyone can observe the earth and stars i've always wanted to become a cosmonaut that didn't happen but now i'm sure that one day i'll travel to space a 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 of zero gravity and see the planet in its entirety for two hundred thousand dollars. to send large groups of people to moon one hundred kilometers above ground will be able to seal planets and the coarseness with their own eyes 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 a business of space projects is the mars five hundred experiment simulating a voyage to the red planet 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 not mars i want to be the first to travel to mars and to other planets as well as the means of jupiter saturn you see 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 are to the baikonur in kazakhstan. twenty four minutes past the russian capital of things up to the moment now it's time for the latest from the world of business with the me true statement. thanks very much bill russian equities sold off sharply in the last five minutes of trade on thursday on news of the seven point one earthquake in northeast japan investors are keeping a careful eye worldwide on the potential extent of the damage but the stricken nuclear power plant of ashima reported so far no signs of new problems after the shock let's take a look at the market reaction more. now this is what the closing picture of the r.t.s. and nice legs look like looks like a last minute selloff because the board has to close one percent lower driven mostly by energy stocks so it's an individual shares lukoil was shedding one point

seven percent close followed by ross never got far behind one point three percent still make a m k was down more than one and a half percent after its last year's net profit mr expectations wall street is still in the red on news from japan despite better than expected consumer confidence figures coming in but out began the section actually up a half a point after some encouraging jobs data too but tech shares are still doing well retailers are struggling japan stock futures are also on a decline world prices are continuing to climb following the great in japan ongoing unrest in the middle east and the weakening dollar also contributed to the result as as a result. more than one hundred ten dollars per barrel brant more than one hundred twenty two. interest rates in the eurozone have 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 among them is portugal which is finally asked for a bailout from the e.u. that make amount to seventy five billion euro. when you've got countries that idea into or trying to do it or stir as you can do is increase taxes and reduce 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 think there's hardly ready for it but there doesn't seem to be any true choice of the moment and certainly the seed be not factoring that into account when the window of raising interest rates. russian consumer confidence has declined in the first quarter of this year following gains at the end of twenty ten the index fell three points to minus thirteen but it was driven by rising commodity prices and an inflation of more than nine percent disposable incomes turned negative in the first two months of the year up to six months of gains. while the drop was quite surprising we attribute it to

decline so you know inflation and very weak real wages growth so inflation. they income growth and probably consumers leave the feel of this so we think this might be a reason for the central bank to postpone mind mindtree policy tightening because consumer is not is not feeling good. that's up from the business for now you can always join my colleague and she'll be here at eight twenty moscow time friday morning at a record forward slash business is our website with next week headlines to stay with us tomorrow.
