communities which will pop through to rout a thousand people and cost millions. eleven am in the russian capital you are with r.t.i. marina joshie most countries are paying the price for the unrest in the oil rich arab world now there is a scramble for cheaper alternatives to head off the rising cost of fuel how was it still determined to avoid russia which is one of the world's top gas exporters securing affordable energy is not going to be easy art is there no bushel reports. for frank's truck company the road ahead looks bleak soaring oil prices mean filling up now costs a cool 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 huge supplies and shot up prices but they could be an alternative you see the early evening or and self string were already built supply risks in energy prices would be lower. he use refusing to back new russian projects to supply energy it's continuing to insist on by versity of supply we support especially projects which give us access peninsulas since this is. what i can have president john as a part also have like calling other countries in the will the e.u. funds and force tracks the gas pipeline from as through turkey but not russia's north or south stream gets nobuko course much more to build its supplies have no resources to spare and the logic of building it is even questioned by participants

and list say the e.u. is making a very expensive mistake of course when there are big economic problems. social changes are pressing 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 oil and sunni arab world continues into next month experts to fuel prices to double again that feels lower as in particular with dread first and foremostly use 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 leave him short of money for food and if prices double he doesn't know what to do then it will sure r.t. proselyte. he'll 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 happened haze from the online political magazine sparked told r.t. that it wasn't well thought through as aimed at nod 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 no real sense of an endgame whatsoever everyone's being kind of goading each other on saying well we need to kind of step in but no one's really want to get to committed so it's very striking that you know it takes a moment for affectively for sarkozy cameron and obama to make their statements that 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 and 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 to try and make themselves look like kind of great international leaders fundamentally democracy emerging change needs to come from people fighting from the streets a grass roots going to battle it can be handed to people on a plate by basically western leaders through opinion 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 that's as good as the that they can really bring about true democratic strains. chris now from stop the war it says nato is divided between those who want to stake there they can manage to carry anything stop the un resolution and they also want to abuse it. there's very big splits and a large number. of people who basically want to stick to the u.n. resolution which is talk which talks about defending civilians and. you know had

a very very limited rames on the other hand you have the u.s. britain and france who have now come clean come of this and say that. for example he said that they are going for regime change in this intervention which is you know which is something that is not covered in the in the resolution is is as far as i can see illegal military intervention doesn't bring liberation doesn't bring progress it creates column e.g. creates misery and and it tends to generate a spiral of violence in a country. with more insight into what's happening in libya in around ten minutes time here in r.t. r t is military contributor explores why the coalitions have a hitters 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 rates it comes as widely

reported mad with political heavyweights from the country's leading united russia party r.t. shannon 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 material again for a second term or will it be the current prime minister vladimir putin who is held that position in the past this of course profit a person 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 surely a 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 of 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 it met with chinese media and in that he was asked about possible divisions in

policy different ways different directions that he might be going away from him or put him 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 talks a bit but not as much of a party to start hinting if you will that they would be in support of a vladimir putin presidency come two thousand and twelve this leading to today's discussion so very interesting week indeed and of course in the international community the world likes to see these two put it 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. we've got plenty of election coverage on our website at r.t. dot com for you to keep kept on there is likely to lead russia from twenty.

under-aged prostitution in the united states is organized crimes third 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 rescue help or he's got it she can explain. 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 walks away from capitol hill we're on the street that's known as the heart for lobbyists and lawyers in washington that by day like night this is where scores of prosecutors like to get picked up and killed with every take 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 trick when the children get arrested is either jail time or probation in the us prostitution laws

do not example minors from prosecution the office of juvenile justice and delinquency prevention reported one thousand and six hundred juveniles were arrested for prostitution within just one year but lawyer say in the us the paradox of the system is that the children are prosecuted for crimes for which they cannot legally give consent to hold up we 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 and we need to be taken a look at ourselves and i look at the fact that we have we have made detention and we have made for some 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 lock them up and ship them away and that's the end of our response to this issue is we want to make sure that these children are treated as victims we're treating the victims and providing for their recovery requires funding and fortunately there is a federal money for us victims of trafficking 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 at the 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 at all around the country there's one hundred thousand about eighty beds which includes mine that's it and the us and so what they're saying is so for their safety we will arrest them put them in jail. so the cases further states but they don't get any services and recharge the victim and we don't put great think thompson jail so why would we put that since we were trafficked and almost all of the victims of child trafficking remember being constantly raped and abused both pained some clients and many of the young people that we serve have been incarcerated and charged as an adult under the age of sixteen and so they had this

lengthy fifteen twenty thirty forty arrests both as a juvenile and as an adult for purse to show so when they go to apply for public housing they're no 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 some of these already scarred as it is that 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 their future i'm going to check out reporting from washington r.t. . still have for us our of the royal wedding bells ringing across the atlantic. this country ran away from england because of royalty and kings and queens and if the british wanted to let them do it with the americans the big prize. is so ridiculous get a life. or harvest asks people in new york if they are in the mood for marriage to

have the british honor king's big day. and we headed to the side of a future winter olympics to find out why people there are convinced so so your hotspot at a few minutes away. the residents of one of europe's largest traveller communities are being booted out by british officials more a thousand people are being told to leave an area they have cold home for over three decades and artie's a lower end of reports the removal operation may come at an immense cost for britain and not just financially. 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 traveller site where one of the biggest evictions in british history is being planned and the council's accused of ethnic cleansing has got four kids living in jail fran there has been no protest in year and yes

there is no i mean it's own says william wordsworth travelers 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 and most refused to talk on camera saying they feared violent retribution those who did were more guarded i think that everybody should find their way in the way of rights in texas i don't believe they did the people that live around them know their past prices go down that's the only thing after that it's a problem that might be fun sometimes only one of might be a part of rest of it so you know they should be treated the same as everybody else

i understand if you like but you know yes just not just you know you shouldn't be there initially growing trees because it is but others say the lands the travelers built on was scrapyard not green belt and the travel is a big persecuted because of their different way of life it's all i'm all for protection of the green belt i do not think that that particular bit constitutes a steinmetz in any way i've read 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 ship sinks in and in fact dale farm is a considerably. trying to compete. case compared with many states with. whatever the truth battled in council voted overwhelmingly the charcoal is out and a cool sort of backs them up but it won't come cheap with litigation and bailiffs and what could be a two month long continuous operation. could

cost. that figure rises to eighteen million including the police operation a staggering twenty nine million dollars a particularly huge sum in austerity pretty well cuts a big mate to council all over the country the cost of the eviction hasn't deterred the council way and north of threats of violence from the travellers battle lines are being drawn here at dale farm the thousand strong communities where they'll fight literally if necessary because they've got nowhere else to go and bustled in council will match that force with bags of cash and the conviction that the law is on their site your emmett's ot essex. whatever happens at dale farm intolerance towards the communities in britain is reaching boiling point now the

country wants to cut immigration levels rest of what. i want ration more and less immigration but as a deliverable a british m.p. says it's impossible to stop people coming into view. freedom of movement that's raising fears of ghettos and disjointed society tell us what you think on our website. and as brock obama launches his bid for a second term change which he pledged americans tell us whether he's delivering the dream he promised to.

and queens just because they're born into a stupid family if the british want it like and do it with the americans to be. fascinating. it's so ridiculous get a life already or eventually this brings a lot of thoughts for reform source things like in. something like that. in my opinion really we don't need is it good for people to have thoughts away from serious things or is that just a distraction good to the school because if you always think about the problems you're in or you could have in your life then you can. do you care about the royal wedding yes they care about you need. not. because we have a nice have been to school me our prime minister led the way these the moon

takes it all the seen so so you have your own big media story yeah but is it good for our culture does it enrich just as a people i don't necessarily think it hurts us as a people to know what the queen or the future queen is going to wear to haul wedding it doesn't hurt me it doesn't hurt me any it doesn't take anything away it doesn't turn you down it doesn't go me no it does not but they're not you want to be inundated with the media's vapid fluffy news stories the bottom line is they're not going to stop with them any time soon the only real answer is to keep that remote control close at hand. and next we'll look at whether e.t. feels at home in southern russia recent unexplained life in the sky which have been caught on camera are among the increasing sightings which have the locals baffled or is that a lot of it. you know i think that the shape of these projectors made us believe

that this flying saucer whatever it was it was or the launch the call because some of the only people to film the lights and have become overnight celebrities the u.f.o. tape was immediately aired on local television the villages own channel to run a feature story about the sighting and publish the video on the internet local reporter alexander broke the story a complete change from his usual fare of milk yields and local politics no he's ready to take on the x. files in from was up when we shared the video on our website people started copy pasting it so we got responses from a piece by eyewitnesses all over the grass who also sparking this particular u.f.o. as you follow just say this part of russia is like the area rosabelle in new mexico harbor with visitors but some experts like are skeptical about the sighting many can be explained but not all of them are christian and our region has

a very high frequency but real extraterrestrial activity is always the highest in the whole country and in places like sort cheap which is a big city that stretches along the coast there is of course a better chance to spot something unusual so why all this interstellar traffic in the russian south maybe they're getting sneak preview of the sochi olympics. or maybe they're just like the place whatever it is the truth is out there somewhere there is a lot ski r.t. cross in the region well there is more thrill thinking coming out archita i asked for an hour in russia later in the day as well dad where in a while. they come in. so long to play with. others want to take their spirits. but she's the diva of the river to keep.
