well see british science it's time to. go. to. market why not. find out what's really happening to the global economy is a record. of the arab unrest both the heat on oil prices other countries look for alternatives but it could be making a costly mistake by trying to avoid affordable russian energy. also this hour. we say that this child is a victim and yet we send her to jail somewhere along the line there's something wrong with that america's child sex shame that's fueling theory towards the government over why under-age prostitutes are being prosecuted instead of protected . and british officials are preparing to invade one of its largest travelers

communities which will uproot around a thousand people and cost millions. watching are you live from moscow and i am here on marina joshie welcome to the program most countries are paying a price for the unrest in oil rich arab world now there is a scramble for cheaper alternatives to head off the rising cost of fuel but with the e.u. still determined to avoid russia which is one of the world's top gas exporters securing affordable energy is not going to be easy daniel bushell reports. for frank's truck company of the road ahead looks bleak soaring oil prices mean filling up now costs fifteen hundred euros if you're not watching it closely then when you go bankrupt chaos in libya and the oil rich middle east has hit

a use applies and shot up prices but they could be an alternative you see the only possible use north and south which screen were already built supply risks in energy prices will be lower each use refusing to back new russian projects to supply energy it's continuing to insist on diversity of supply we support. projects which give us access to since this is. what i can have as a job as a part also have like couple of other countries in the will the e.u. funds and fast tracks the gas pipeline from as through turkey but not russia's north all cells stream gets not cost much more to build its supplies have no no resources to spare and the logic of building it is even questioned by participants

analyst say the e.u. is making a very expensive mistake of course when there are big economic problems. social changes are receiving in the arab world the current trouble in the middle east show that europe does have a reliable energy problem in russia compared with some other places if boylan's in the arab world continues into next month experts tipped fuel prices to double again that saw it feels lower as in particular with dread first and foremost the e.u.'s lack of confidence in russia is hurting its own citizens the e.u. makes it hard for normal people to get by alex's high gas bills leaving short of money for food and if prices double he doesn't know what he'll do then you will sure r.t. brussels. fuel prices are unlikely to drop in the near future as the foreign intervention in libya shows little sign of letting up after nearly a month of action patrick hates the online political magazine spike told r.t.

that it wasn't well thought through and is aimed at publicity now and democracy what we've seen over the last month now is basically a geo political mayhem where you have countries who are all in this kind of shabby coalition which is kind of flaking off not really knowing what they're trying to achieve with no real sense of a strategy and no real sense of an end game whatsoever everyone's been kind of goading each other on saying well we're going to step in and those really want to get to committed but it's very striking that you know it takes a moment for affectively force arcos the camera and obama to make this statement you know we have this united front which was on the washington washington post the times and the moment but i think this is actually very opportunistic in the way i would characterize this is more kind of p.r. imperialism these are the kind of the western leaders grandstanding on the international stage for very short term goals they don't really know what they want to achieve but they're doing it for their own personal reasons try to make

themselves look like kind of great international leaders fundamentally democratic the malkuth emerging trains and these are coming from people fighting from the streets a grassroots kind of battle it can be hundreds of people on the plates by basically western leaders swooping in like guardian angels in the long term things will be made worse things are always made worse by western intervention coming in people need to be allowed to determine their own fate they need to be able to make history for themselves and it's only through that process of struggling against tyrants the that they can really bring about true democratic trains. chris nine am from stop the war says nato is divided between those who want to stick to the humanitarian ethos of the un resolution and those who want to abuse it. there's a very big splits in the law and. you have people who basically want to stick to the u.n. resolution which is which talks about befriending civilians and. you know how very

very limited times on the other hand you have the u.s. britain and france have now come clean come off the face. of fake simply said that they are going for regime change through this intervention which is you know which is something that is not covered in the in the resolution is as far as i can see illegal military intervention doesn't bring liberation doesn't agree progress it creates colony just creates misery and and it tends to generate a spiral of violence in the country. i have more insight into what's happening in libya at around ten minutes time here on r t r t is military contributor explores why the coalition is having haters are to blame for civilian deaths in the stricken country. russia's prime minister is warning against people getting too excited about his role in the upcoming twenty twelve presidential election breaks it comes as a body reported met with political will have a waits from the country's leading united russia party r.t.

shaun thomas has the details. it certainly has been a very interesting week in russian national politics in terms of speculating who will run for that top position of president the head of state who would be majed it again for a second term or will it be the current prime minister vladimir putin who has held that position in the past this of course prompted hooten to go to the united russia party of which he is the head of to speak with top party officials and say look guys it's too early bad election isn't until two thousand and twelve it's still a ways away and we still need to focus on the state duma elections which are coming up this year on december fourth two thousand and eleven but let me give you a little bit of history about why this has been such a big deal this week and particularly ahead of the brics summit meeting in china we get of met with the chinese media and in that he was asked about possible good visions and policy different ways different directions that he might be going away

from by the more prudent in terms of how the country is being run he said yes there are some areas where they disagree but this is part of a healthy democracy it's part of a system that works now the two of them have been friends for a long time this interview on t.v. with united russia party to start hinting if you will that they would be in support of a bloody near putin presidency come two thousand and twelve this leading to today's discussion so very interesting we can deed and of course in the international community the world likes to see these two pitted against each other or say one of them is weaker than the other but two strong leaders of the world's largest country it's going to be interesting to see how it plays out. john thomas there and we've got plenty of election coverage on our website at archita com for you to keep chatting on who's likely to lead russia from two thousand and twelve. under-aged prostitution in the united states is organized crimes there are biggest money maker

after guns and drugs but washington's accused of blaming the kids instead of the criminals putting young girls behind bars for walking the streets instead of offering baskin help our kids got in she counted explains. the u.s. state department regularly puts out reports on how horrific human trafficking is in other countries but right under the government's very nose in washington dozens of girls and boys are sold. just blocks away from capitol hill we're on the street that's known as the heart for lobbyists and lawyers in washington that's why day at night this is worse wars of prostitutes walk to get picked up and killed when the average age of thirteen are also being trafficked here to washington and seoul the f.b.i. estimates that each year more than one hundred thousand underage american girls are exploited for commercial sex in the united states but the usual treatment the children get arrested is either jail time or probation in the us prostitution laws do not exam minors from prosecution the office of juvenile justice in delinquency

prevention reported one thousand and six hundred juveniles were arrested for prostitution within just one year but lawyer saying the u.s. the paradox of the system is that the children are prosecuted for crimes for which they cannot legally give consent we we say that this child is a victim and yet we sent to jail somewhere along the line there's something wrong with that and we need to be taken a look at ourselves and a look at the fact that we have we have made detention and we have made law enforcement in the criminal justice system in the juvenile justice system a default setting for what happens to these kids and that we just kind of look them up and show them the way and that's the end of our response to this issue is we want to make sure that these children are treated as victims treating the victims and providing for their recovery requires funding and fortunately there isn't federal money for us and so. tina front works with a nonprofit group in washington which helps the children to get their lives back

providing housing and medical treatment she herself was trafficked of b. age of thirteen tina says it's easier for the government to label the children as prostitutes charge them and send them to detention centers rather. and fund shelters and invest in their future there's not enough housing for sex trafficking victims and around the country there's one hundred thousand about eighty beds which includes that's it and us and so what they're saying is for their safety we will arrest them and put them in jail. so the cases further states they don't get any services and we charge the victim and we don't put great victims in jail so why would we put. trafficked in jail almost all of the victims of child trafficking remember being constantly raped and abused both payments and clients many of the young people that we serve have been incarcerated and charged as an adult under the age of sixteen and so they have this lengthy fifteen twenty thirty forty arrests

both as a juvenile and as an adult for prostitution and so when they go to apply for public housing they're not eligible for that when they go to do certain employment that pops up in their background check and you know kind of booted out of an employment training program these children is already scarred as it is and the nonprofit organizations that help victims of sex trafficking say by prosecuting the children by not investing in their recovery it is the government that is scoring their future i'm going to check our reporting from washington our team. so i had various hour there while wearing bells rain across the atlantic. this country ran away from england because of of royalty and kings and queens and if the british wanted let them do it right the americans to be fascinating. is so ridiculous get a life already heard lorry harvest asked people in new york of the year in the mood for marriage a hat of a british monarchy is big day. and we had to the side of

a future winter olympics to find out why people there are convinced it's also a u.f.o. hotspot that's a few minutes away. the residents of one of europe's largest traveller communities are being booted out by british officials more than a thousand people are being told to leave an area they've called home for over three decades as his lawyer anna reports the removal operation may come at an immense cost for britain and not just financial. it's an age old story traveller communities being moved on because they're not welcome where they settle dale farm is the u.k.'s largest gypsy and travel a site where one of the biggest if exceptions in british history is being planned and the council's accused of ethnic cleansing of the four kids living in jail found has been there for the past ten year just to. service our lives as well you know

words travellers have been living at dale farm since the nineteen seventies the settlement started off small and the trouble began when new comers came and bought land around it then they built homes without legal permission in the local town feelings run high many people told us the travellers are messy and noisy driving the crime rate up and property values down most refused to talk on camera saying they feared violent retribution those who did were more guarded i think that everybody should play in. yeah well in the way of rights in texas i don't believe they did the people that live around the parish process go down that say anything after that is a problem and might be some time part only when our mass the of course the rest of us so you know they should be treated as a reporter you understand their plight but. you know yes just not just you know you shouldn't be there really shouldn't brunches because it is but others say the lands

the travelers built on was scrapyard not greenbelt and the travel is a big persecuted because of their different way of life so i'm all for protection of the green i do not think that's particularly good constitutes peacetime in any way i agree that there are always people in every community who you know mess up things but this is common in every single community within the country it is not unique to travelers and gypsies and in fact dale farm is a considerably. peaceful place compared with many housing estates within the internet so whatever the truth battled in council voted overwhelmingly the travel is out and of course sort of back them up but it won't come cheap with litigation and bailiffs and what could be a two month long continuous operation of some two threads to be my tribe. and from other organizations who are not. just. with the authorities in the course
