past the hour of. prices other countries look for alternatives to the e.u. 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 sent her to jail somewhere along the line something wrong with that america's child sex shame goods fueling fury towards the government over why underage prostitutes are being a prosecutor instead of protecting. kind of british officials are preparing to

evict one of its largest travelers communities which will approve about a thousand people and cost i mean. it is just after two pm on saturday here in moscow you without now most countries are paying the price for the unrest in the oil rich arab world but now there's 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 exporters securing affordable energy is not going to be easy because he's done your reports. for frank's truck company the road ahead looks bleak soaring oil prices mean filling up now costs call fifteen hundred euros 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 they could be an alternative you see that but if north and south stream were already built supply risks and energy prices would be lower. hughes refusing to back new russian projects to supply energy is continuing to insist on by versity of supply we support especially projects which give us access peninsula since. the book is our priority i would like to have as an h.r. as a part. i have like qatar and other countries in the will the e.u. funds and fast track the gas pipeline from through turkey but not russia's north all cells stream gets much more to build its supplies have no resources to spare and the logic of building it is even questioned by participants and lists

a the making a very expensive mistake of course when there are big economic problems. social changes like we're seeing in the arab world the current trouble in the middle east does show that europe does have a reliable energy driver in russia compared with some other places if islands in the arab world continues into next month experts to fuel prices to double again that sort feels low and is in particular with trade first and foremost the e.u.'s lack of confidence in russia and 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 he'll do then he will sure r.t. brussels and 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 aides from the online and political magazines might told

r.t. that it wasn't well thought through and is aimed at public duty rather than and ocracy . what we've seen over the last month now is basically a geopolitical 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 need to kind of step in but no one's really wanted to get to committed so it's very striking that you know it takes a month or effectively for sarkozy cameron 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 a 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 democracy emerging trains and these are coming from people fighting from the street a grassroots kind of battle it can be handed to people on a plate 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 that's as good as the they can really bring about true democratic trains. of course and i don't know from where you stop the war coalition says that nato was 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 peak splits in the alliance i mean on the one hand you have people who basically want to stick to the u.n. resolution which is which talks about befriending civilians and. you know has

a very very limited items on the other hand you have the u.s. britain and france who have now come clean and come off the face and said that they are fake simply said that they are going for regime change with 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 and military intervention doesn't bring liberation doesn't bring progress it creates carnage it creates misery and and it tends to generate a spiral of violence in the country. and we have more insight into what's happening in libya and around ten minutes time here on a. military tribunal where the coalition's heavy hitters are to blame for civilian deaths in the stricken country. russia's prime minister is a warning against people getting too excited about his role in the upcoming two thousand and twelve presidential election race it comes as of late have put it all

right with political heavyweights from the country's leading united russia party short of us has most of us. 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 but of state who would be made again for a second term or will be the current prime minister vladimir putin to do is held that position in the past this of course prompted him 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 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 to get a met with the chinese media and in that he was asked about possible good visions 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 for this interview confident but not as much a party to start hinting if you will that they would be in support of a vladimir putin presidency comes twenty 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. reporting right that what we call plenty of election coverage on our web site of course that's come out of sick if you were head of what's likely to lead and who is likely to read russia from two thousand

and twelve. underage prostitution in the united states is organized crime 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 but walking the streets instead of offering a rescue and help party's candidates can experience. 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's why day like night this is where spores of prostitutes walk to get picked up and killed with every take 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 treatment that

children get when 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 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 sent 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 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 for instance of trafficking get 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 in a says it's easier for the government to label the children as prostitutes charge them and send them to detention centers rather. then 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 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 done for safety 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. almost all of the victims of child trafficking remember being constantly raped and abused both payments and 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 persecution and so when they go to apply for public housing then i would settle for that when they go to do certain employment that pops up in their background check and then 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 their future i'm going to check our reporting from washington our team. still ahead for you this hour here on royal wedding bells ringing all the way across. the country ran away from england because of royalty and kings and queens and if the british wanted to do it with the americans the big prize. is so ridiculous get

a life already a bird just asks people in new york if they're in the mood for marriage at the british. and we head to the site of a future of winter olympics to work out why people there are convinced it's also a. sport that's just a few minutes away right. now residents of one of europe's largest traveller communities are being booted out of british officials more than a thousand people are being told to leave an area they've called home for over three decades there's always a lot of reports the removal of permission may come out and 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 traveller site where one of the biggest if

exceptions in british history is being planned and the council's accused of ethnic cleansing now got four kids living in jail fan there has been no protest in year and yes there is no lightly as our lives as 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 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 work in the way of rights and protections like them believe they did the people that live around them know their past prices go down that's the only thing i think it's

a problem and might be some somehow valuable or might be a part of rest of us so you know they should be treated like everybody else i understand it like but. you know yes just not just you know you shouldn't be there and should have grown 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 and i do not think that's in 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. peaceful place compared with many states with. whatever the truth battles in council voted overwhelmingly to get the travelers out and of course sort of backs them up but it won't come cheap with lissie cation and

bailiffs and what could be a two month long continuous operation. from . just of. course. it could cost up to that figure rises to eighteen million including the police operation a staggering twenty nine million dollars a particularly huge sum in austerity britain where cuts a big may to council funding all over the country the cost of the eviction hasn't deterred the council way and nor have threats of violence from the travellers battle lines are being drawn here at dale farm the thousand strong communities where vale fights literally if necessary because they've got nowhere else to go and bustling council will match that force with bags of cash and the conviction that the law is on their site your emmett's r.t.

battle that essex. well whatever happens with intolerance towards ethnic communities in britain is reaching morning point out the country wants to cut immigration levels trust. me i want to jim racial. immigration. british bureau and he says it's impossible to stop people coming into the u.k. while the e.u. allows freedom of movement it's raising fears of yes i was going to destroy your society that's what you think on a website that's not seen. also on our website of the kremlin their gods conduct this post ok yeah sure sign of spring finally coming to moscow. also the star. would sing it to the mocking be a viable let's bring. it. back to the fifteenth century that is full of people. pulling taking part of

the minutes he has to play in the background we've got the. board he's at the. pictures from the spectacular ceremony of course. we've also gone. around making the choice of all the major events in the kremlin and red square such as last year's historic victory day parade which included foreign tourist washing in the heart of french. wealthy british soil it's time to. market. find out what's really happening to the global economy with much stronger for a no holds barred look at the global financial headlines tune in. do cars report on

r.g.p. . which brightened. the song from feinstein. starts on t. dot com. here with r.t. and live from moscow let's return to the events in libya where the rebels say they are hoping to soon take control of the oil port city of a praeger opposition spokesman says they called for half what he calls weapon and supplies from quote friendly countries. military control says there has been meddling as plunging the country into a deadly stalemate. of sheer

thinking. that is so far as levy a conflict beasts concerned have you ever thought who actually he's in charge of the western communitarian bombing in leave you think about it first what started as a successful for a intelligence. against america deathy this year in february got them a man tim and overtly expanded into the u n a resolution behind the united states and its allies were involved in full fledged western military operation in libya now who ease charge of the western military effort to leave france the united states and nato allies in fact even in washington in brussels they can't figure out themselves who actually is leading

their western efforts in this ocean to review and conflict has been help with sleep lost so far between the disunity off efforts among and between the united states and nato allies at large instead of saving a levy and people who desperately trying to save their faces and their political careers. now i just quickly have a twenty one minutes past the hour here in moscow that's going to well there's a great point that's. supplies from all of its nuclear power plants after a five point nine magnitude. was held north of tokyo. officials want to know crippling power outages some of those off. like a tsunami meanwhile the school systems at the fukushima plant have been hunted by rising coming at you know one of the reactors. there are

reports. a policeman has been beaten to death by anti-government demonstrators in syria the country's biggest protests in the long run rest with security forces using tear gas and batteries to disperse those calling for reform of the moans include the lifting of the decades old emergency law and the ouster of president assad two days earlier he did offer concessions forming a new government and declaring amnesty for some of those arrested last month. several tornadoes ripping through parts of the u.s. state of alabama at least four people are reported dead serious or going to be was declared off to the storm's broke out on friday the severe weather has already passed through several other states killing nine and causing widespread destruction . but britain's royal wedding is still a fortnight away but excitement already swirling across the atlantic u.s. morning shows are gearing up to pull out all the stops to cover prince william and

kate middleton's big day out he's a roving reporter laurie hofmann has been in new york to see whether if you was all in the marital. i just think of the media's nonstop coverage of the royal wedding this week let's talk about bet this country ran away from england because so of royalty and kings and queens it is just because they're born into a stupid family if the british want it and i can do it but the americans to be. fascinating. it's so ridiculous get a life already or eventually these. thoughts for reform such things like. 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 it is good because if you always think about the problems you have. in your life then you can. do you care about the

royal wedding yes a care that you need. not. because we have a nice have been a scone me our prime minister. takes it all the see 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 ha wedding it doesn't hurt me it doesn't hurt me any it doesn't take anything away it doesn't i'm you down it doesn't go me down 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 their hands.

eat feels at home in southern russia recently i explained the lights in the sky which. are long creasing sightings which have all been his policy papers. i should tell you about the shape of these projectors made us believe that this flying saucer or whatever it was it was or the launch the call to go small the only people to film the lights and have begun overnight celebrities you would say was immediately aired on local television the villages own channels of a relative each or 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 now he's ready to take on the x. files for wasn't when we shared the video on our website people start

a copy pasting it so we got responses from at least five other eyewitnesses all over the grass and who also spotted this particular u.f.o. you follow just say this part of russia south is like the area around rosabelle in new mexico. with visitors but some experts like why deem are skeptical about the sighting many can be explained but not all of them are credited or region has a very high a frequency a real extraterrestrial activity always a poised in the whole 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 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 are crossing the region and there's

a thrill seeking that is coming up here on our team you can join us for an adrenaline rush later in the day as we get in the wilds. they come in thousands. still long to play with. others one to take spirits. but she is the diva of the river stick. there. is no in her best move. believe. chasing adrenaline from the party. are back with had one shortly do some of us.
