communities which will have run out of thousand people and cost millions. watching r t live from moscow with me joshua welcome to the program 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 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 the road ahead looks bleak soaring oil prices mean filling up now costs a cool fifteen hundred euro if you're not watching it closely then then you go bankrupt chaos in libya and the oil rich middle east has hit

a huge supplies and shot up prices but there could be an alternative you see that if north and south stream were already built supply risks and energy prices would be lower. they use refusing to back you russian projects to supply energy it's continuing to insist on diversity of supply and we support especially projects which give us access to civil since it's a spine of all kinds of priority would like to have as a giant as well who would also have like qatar and other countries in the will the e.u. farms and force trucks the gas pipeline from through turkey but not russia's north or south stream gets nobuko cost much more to build its supplies have no resources to spare and the logic of building it is even questioned by participants. making

r.t. that it was a well thought through and is a bad publicity in our democracy. what we've seen over the last month now is basically 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 been kind of goading each other on saying oh we need to kind of step in but no one's really wanted to get to committed so it's very striking that it takes a month for affectively for sarkozy cameron and obama to make this statement so 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 and make

themselves look like kind of great international leaders fundamentally them a democracy emerging change needs to come from people fighting from the streets a grassroots kind of battle it can be handed to 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 such as gadhafi that they can really bring about true democratic chains. 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 very big splits in the alliance and on the one hand you have people who basically want to stick to the u.n. resolution which is which talks about defending civilians and. you know had

a very very limited items on the other hand you have the u.s. britain and france who have now come clean come off the phone and say the. 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 is as far as i can see illegal military intervention doesn't bring liberation doesn't bring progress it creates carnage and creates misery and and it tends to generate a spiral of violence in the country. well we have more insight into what's happening in libya in around ten minutes time here on our team as our team your contributor or as why the coalition's happy hitters are to blame for civilian deaths in the strait in country. russia's prime minister is warning against people getting too excited about his role in the upcoming twenty twelve presidential election race it comes as bloody reported that with political heavyweights from the country's

leading united russia party are if you shine thomas has the details. it certainly has been a very interesting week in russian and national politics in terms of speculating who will run for that top position of president the head of state would be but did 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 that 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 did have met with 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 him or put it 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 prompted a lot of russian 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 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. and got plenty of election coverage on our web site and actually dot com for you to keep a check on who's likely to lead russia from two thousand and twelve. under-aged prostitution in the united states has organized crimes thursday august moneymaker 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 and how hard he's going to to count 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 walks away from capitol hill where on the street that's known as the heart for lobbyists and lawyers in washington that's why day like night this is where scores of prostitutes flock to get picked up and children average age thirteen are also being trafficked here to washington and saw 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 u.s. prosecution 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 to hold up we we say that this child is a victim and yet we send her 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 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 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 but treating the victims and providing for their recovery requires funding 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. unfun 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 and put them in jail. so the case is further states but they don't get any services and we charge the victims and we don't put rape victims in jail so why would we put since we were trafficked into almost all of the victims of child trafficking remember being constantly raped and abused both by pain 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 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 now 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 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. . so i have for you is our other well wedding bells ringing across the atlantic. this country ran away from england because of royalty and kings and queens or if the british wanted to let them do it with the americans for three five two maybe. it was so ridiculous carol white already of. glory harkness asks people in the work if they are in the mood for marriage i have a british monarchy is big day. can we add to the side of the future winter olympics

to find out why people there are convinced it's also a u.f.o. that's a few minutes away. the. as it is of one of europe's largest traveller communities are being booted out by british officials are going to thousand people are being told to leave an area they've called home for over three decades and their g.'s lorena reports the removal operation may come at an immense cost for britain and no just financially. it's an age old story traveller communities been 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 now that four kids live in india found has been there for the past in year and yes there is no lonely it's our it's our lives as well you know words with travellers have been living at dale farm

since the one nine hundred seventy s. 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 everybody should paying their way in the way of rights and protections and i don't believe they did leave people that live around them or their half prices go down as anything else it's a problem and might be some time contrarily will of mice be a part of rest of us so you know they should be treated as everybody else i understand their plight but you know yes just not just you know you should be there and should approach it because it is but others say the lands the travelers built on was scrapyard not greenbelt and the travellers are being 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 just trying meto 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. approach could be. school case compared many housing estates with. whatever the truth battles in council voted overwhelmingly say get the travellers out and of course it would have backs them up but it won't come cheap with litigation and bailiffs and what could be a two month long continuous operation. from . the authorities which.

could cost up to eight pounds that figure rises to eighteen million including a police operation a staggering twenty nine million dollars a particularly huge sum in austerity britain cuts a big mate to council all over the country the cost of the eviction hasn't deterred the council though i know her threats of violence from the travellers battle lines are being drawn here at dale farm the thousand strong communities where belle thoughts literally if necessary because they've got nowhere else to go and battles in council will match that force with bags of cash and the conviction that the law is on their site here and it's. at six. whatever happens to the farm intolerance towards ave communities in britain is reaching boiling point now the country wants to cut immigration levels drastically. i want racial.

integration but is it the lure of all british. it's impossible to stop people coming into the u.k. while the e.u. allows freedom of movement it's raising fears of ghettos and jointed society tell us what you think on our website. and as rock obama launches he's bid for a second term he looks at the change which he pledged americans tell us whether he's delivering the dream he promised. no. space is. secure there is no substitute and there is no. military. target

time. to look through space should be. better. company. to build. and we must. be. best in the peaceful uses. of this incredible investment from the united states and from the european canada other countries like this this is completely in jeopardy if we start putting referencing outer space.

hungry for the full story we've got. the biggest issues get the human voice face to face with the news makers. are watching our tail authoritarian events in libya where the rebels say they are hoping to soon take control of the oil court city of brag and opposition spokesman says they are confident and have what he called weapons supplies from friendly countries are his military contributor says nato is meddling is plunging a country into a deadly stalemate and nato he's full of sheer thinking. that is a far as lead to conflict he's concerned. actually he's in charge of the western humanitarian law i mean in levy i think about it first what started as a successful for ange intelligence coup to go us against deathy

this year in february god demand to him and overtly expanded into the un resolution behind we should the united states and its allies were involved in a full fledged western military operation in libya now ease in charge of the western military effort to leave france the united states nato allies in fact even in washington in brussels they can figure out themselves who actually he's leading their western efforts and this solution to really and conflict has been haplessly lost so far between the disunity off efforts among and between the united states nato and allies at large instead of saving a levy and people desperately trying to save their faces and their political

couriers. now let's take a look at some other stories from around the world japan's check again the supplies from all of its nuclear power plants after a five point nine magnitude aftershock was felt north of tokyo no damage has been reported but officials want to ensure there are no crippling power outages similar to those after last month's earthquake and tsunami while efforts to restore the cooling systems at a focal shima plant have been hampered by rising levels of contaminated water made one of the reactors. in syria huge crowds have joined some of the biggest anti-government protests during its month long uprising security forces used tear gas and baton against demonstrators calling for greater freedoms and a lifting of the decades old emergency arrest law or president assad offered concessions two days ago for me new government and declaring an amnesty for some of

and queens just because they're born into a stupid family if the british wanted let them do it with the americans to be fascinating. it's so ridiculous get a life already american eventually this brings a lot of thoughts for reform source things like in japan or something like that. in my opinion really really only then is it good for people to have thoughts away from serious things or is that just a distraction it is good because if you were the problems you have. or you could have in your life then you can kill yourself do you care about the royal wedding yes they care about you need the. news the ease and not the power because we have or have been to scorn me our prime minister better we these the moon takes it all the seen so so you have your own big media story

yes 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 come you down it doesn't tell 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. that's we'll look at whether eighteen feel that held in southern russia recent unexplained light in the sky would have been caught on camera are among the increasing sightings which have the locals baffled ideas that is bought and paid a visit i should note that the shape of these projectors made us believe that this

a very high frequency a real extraterrestrial activity is always the highest in the country and in places like sort cheap which is a big city that stretches from the coast there is of course a better chance to spot something unusual so why all this interstellar traffic and the russian self 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 then as war ski are crossed in the region there's more thrill thinking coming up what are you i asked for an adrenaline rush next hour as we get wet and the wild. come in. so long play with. others one sustain her spirits. what she did
