bringing you the latest in science and technology from. the future coverage. rocketing energy prices. in the arab world leads to a european scramble to secure its energy future but experts say old school also phobia could. also. say that this child is a victim and yet we sent her to jail somewhere along the line there's something wrong with that the u.s. is accused of failing to protect thousands of child prostitutes approached by locking up those most at risk instead of stepping in to help the. ethnically but britain's largest gypsy community is

a booted out of its decade's old home all because they're an eyesore driving down. a very warm welcome to you this is r.t. live from moscow right now fuel prices in a recession in europe are already at record levels ballooning even further thanks to that some all across the energy rich middle east it's made the scramble for cheap alternatives even more desperate e.u. states pouring billions into their own natural gas pipeline aims to bypass russia and reduce their dependence on one of the world's top energy exports but it's also daniel bushell reports europe is likely to pay a high price for that. for french truck company the road ahead looks bleak soaring oil prices mean filling up now costs 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 only for each north and south stream were already built supply risks and energy prices will be lower. he use refusing to back new russian projects to supply energy it's continuing to insist on diversity of supply we support especially projects which give us access to new source since this is our priority would like to have president chavez apart and also have like other countries in the will the e.u. funds and fast tracks the gas pipeline from azerbaijan through turkey but not russia's north all cells 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 a very expensive mistake of course when there are big economic problems. social trend is what we're seeing in the arab world the current trouble in the middle east does show that europe does have a reliable energy problem in russia compared with some other places if oil and world continues into next month experts tipped fuel prices to double again that top feels low and is 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 leave him short of money for food and defrost is double he doesn't know what's he will do then you will see proselyte. energy analysts forecast that crude oil prices are unlikely to

drop anytime soon with a conflict in libya and beyond showing little sign of letting up patrick hayes from online a political magazine spike told r.t. that members involved in the conflict have no clear plan in libya and are more interested in publishing the protection. what we've seen over the last month now is basically a geo political mayhem where you have countries who are 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 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 and actually i think really what they're doing is they're diverting attention away from the kind of the whole. managerial politics they're engaged in

a home fundamentally democratic democracy emerging change anything come from people fighting from the street grassroots going to battle it can't be handed speaker on a plate. now later says that providing public safety for civilians in libya is impossible while colonel gadhafi remains in power but chris nineham from the stop the war coalition says strikes on their own can and never provide liberation or humanitarian aid. leaving aside the question of the legality of the operation and everything that we have learned from iraq and from afghanistan tells us and should have told the western governments that you cannot form a country into democracy or liberation you cannot. you cannot create progress in the country by launching cruise missiles that in fact what you find is the opposite happens civilians die. very often the current regime actually becomes strengthened body time because gadhafi after all from the start was trying to characterize your

position as being stooges of the west we're now that particular characterization will appear to have a lot more weight with people in libya and you know so far they've got nowhere when it comes to their attempts to remove remove gadhafi started i fail to see how intensifying the bombing is going to do anything more than increase the level of violence increase the level of suffering of the libyan people and kind of entrenched the civil war and we have a more insight into events unfolding in libya in about ten minutes time here what i see is a lack of leadership. explains why nato is military aggression is turning into initial main overkill also this hour guests from outer space r.t. goes to russia's most alien visited region to meet the eye witnesses who say the truth is out. there are up to three hundred thousand child

sex slaves in the united states called into a recent human rights report without growing all the time washington is accused of hypocrisy and failing to protect the young victims of sex trafficking is a gun each account has the story. 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 where on the street that's known as the heart for lobbyists and lawyers in washington that's by day at night this is where scores of prosecutors want to get picked up and killed when average age thirteen are also being trafficked here to washington and seoul the f.b.i. estimates that each year more than one hundred thousand under-age american girls are exploited for commercial sex in the united states but the usual trick when the children get when arrested is either jail kine or probation in the u.s. prosecution laws do not exam 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 book 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 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 the attention 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 we want to make sure that these children are treated as victims but treating the victims and providing for their recovery requires funding for from federal money for us because 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 that the age of

thirteen says it's easier for the government to label the children as prostitutes charge them and send them to detention centers rather than fund shelters and investing their future there's not enough power 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 u.s. and so what they're saying is so for their safety we will arrest them and put them in jail. after so the chase is done first but they don't get any. all of the victims of child trafficking remember being constantly raped and abused both by payments on 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 the background check 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 out reporting from washington r.t. . still ahead for us our royal wedding people are sweeps the world. this country ran away from england because so of royalty and kings and queens of the british wanted let them do it for the americans the big prize today the it's so ridiculous get a life already of parties for waterboarding half of new york were indifferent to the upcoming morning working in. and out of the u.k. animosity between the country's largest gypsy community and a nearby town has come to a head for travelers who are being told to leave their home of decades so they won't go down without

a fight and more and reports human dignity is being sacrificed simply to increase house prices. it's an age old story traveller communities being moved on because they're not welcome where they settle. 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 i've got four kids living until found has been passed in year and. just out home is no lonely it's our it's our lives as well we have words we're going all travelers 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 force land around it but they built homes without legal permission in the local town feelings run high many people told us the travelers are messy and noisy driving the crime rate and property values dowd most refused to talk on camera

saying they feared violent retribution those who did were more guarded i think everybody should pay their way in the way of rights and taxes and i don't believe they did the people that live around them know their process go down and say anything after that is a problem and maybe some sometimes only going up might be a ploy to rest so you know they should be treated the same as everybody else i understand their plight but you know yes just not you know you shouldn't be there really shouldn't brunches because it is but others say they learned the travelers bill told was scrapyard not greenbelt and the travel is a big persecuted because of their different way of life so all or more for protection of the green belt i do not think that that particular bit constitutes just time measured 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 daily farm is a considerably. because you can peaceful case compared with many times in the states within singleness or whatever the truth battled in council voted overwhelmingly see get the child lit out and of course a lot of backs them up but it won't come cheap with litigation and bailiffs and what could be a t.v. month long continuous operation if some threats to be made by trouble is that forwards and from. with the with the authorities in the course. it could cost. that figure rises to eighteen million including the police operation a staggering twenty nine million dollars a particularly huge sum in austerity britain cuts a big made to council funding all over the country the cost of the eviction hasn't deterred the council though and nor have threats of violence from the travellers

battle lines are being drawn here at dale farm the thousand strong community swear bell thoughts literally if necessary because they've got nowhere else to go and bustled in council will much that force with bags of cash and the conviction that the law is on their site lower and it's ot busselton essex. and you can get the latest news on feature stories from on c. spots and have a look at some of the items that are waiting for you right now a baby seal called bunny has become a pet for one russian family that sleeps. right how about bunnies for tots he thought. kremlin gods conduct their first mounted over you sure sign of spring is now in right also watched the ceremony. with. everybody. going.

to. the pool. taking part. in the back. and looking they arrived. at people. for about quarter past the hour here in the russian capital you without seeing it british royal wedding is still two weeks away but the hype has already reached a fever pitch from twitter that's a newspaper as those just no getting away from prince william's kate middleton's big day. in new york is gauging reactions that appear to be somewhat polarized with little middle ground. are you sick of the media's nonstop coverage of the royal wedding this week let's

talk about bet this country ran away from england because of of royalty and canes and queens it's just because they're born into a stupid family if the british want it like i'm doing what the americans could be. fascinating. is so ridiculous get a life already american eventually this brings a lot of thoughts for reform source things like in enterprise or something like that. in my opinion really really only 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. or you could have in your life when you came to yourself do you care about the royal wedding yes i care about you need. not probably because we have a nice have been a scone me our prime minister that the way visas. takes 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 a wedding it doesn't hurt me it doesn't hurt me any it doesn't take anything away it doesn't tie me 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 at hand. play. space is the backbone of our national security there is no substitute and there is no alternative to military dominance in space.

bombs on target time battle mum cultural bottomless will eat you are able to look through space should she get better. company crammed down her film has kept her place. and we must. be. several hundred. years of investment in the peaceful uses of barter space. just incredible investment from the united states and from the european union to canada other countries like this this stuff is completely a jeopardy if we start putting weapon soon outer space.

look. for. peace soon which bryson if you move the sun from funds to transient it's. nice for instance hot seat belts come. close to. bringing you the latest inside stanford college from the realms. we've got the future covered. it with r.t. on saturday i thank you for joining us now u.f.o. hunters chasing aliens on earth are likely to be casting a genocide. russia in what looks like

a number of visitors from space are being caught on camera and i want to see is of a parrot arrival i've become a local celebrities i should continue with 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 become overnight celebrities the u.f.o. tape was immediately aired on local television the villages own channel ran a feature story about the sighting and published a video on the internet local reporter alexander broke the story complete change from his usual fare of a local politics no he's ready to take on the x. files for wasn't it when we shared the video on our website should people started pacing it with you so we got responses from a piece by eyewitnesses all over the grass who also spotted this particular u.f.o. you follow just say this part of russia is like the area rosabelle

a new mexico. visitor but some experts like why deem are skeptical about the sighting many can be explained but not all of them. are region has a very high frequency or real extraterrestrial activity placed in the country and in places like cheek which is a big city that stretch along the coast there is of course a better choice to spot something unusual so why all this interstellar traffic on the russian south maybe they're getting sneak preview. or maybe they're just like the place whatever it is the truth is out there somewhere. across the region. all right i was going to some other international headlines for you this hour and of the thirteen people killed as tornadoes ripped through several southern u.s. states but that story in the season so far broke out late on the first day in oklahoma

a state of emergency has been declared in some of the areas affected by the disaster . the biggest demonstrations in a month of under arrest in syria forcing the president to press the new government to launch urgent reforms thousands of protesters were met with tear gas and buttons on their way to the capital one police and three quarters have been beaten to death and clash the opposition is demanding president assad quit and wants greater liberalization for the country. five foreign and five afghan troops supreme killed in a suicide blast in eastern afghanistan in a military uniform hit an afghan army base near the city of jalalabad eight people were also said to have been wounded in the attack and it is the deadliest one in months against foreign troops. well the u.s. budget may include thirty eight billion dollars of spending cuts but they will be a financial boost for the military because he is planning military spending is at

least seven hundred billion dollars while other areas including health care education and infrastructure are on the chopping block the decision came off the right long struggle with lawmakers and the pentagon saying military cuts will threaten national security award winning journalist chris hedges says the decision was made under severe pressure from certain low being circles there are corporations even though the war we're losing the war they continue to make a lot of money off of this war our burden raytheon northrop grumman boeing the price the stock price of these defense contractors quadrupled since the world. and they don't give a damn how many afghans are killed or even how many americans are. by a class of course years. who serve the interests of the powerful. and they will continue to serve those interests because the price of not serving them is that they're driven out of office rather than tighten restrictions. and

impose campaign finance or restrictions on lobbyists the power of lobbyists corporations all this is a fact and expanded on now see obama attempting to raise a billion dollars first billion dollar presidential campaign in history so. you know i am watching these corporations and these imperial tours which are largely being paid for by the way from hollow my country from the inside and destroy it and that's how imperial powers always die our infrastructure is crumbling our public education is a joke our health care system is. lousy. over fifteen thousand americans died last year because they couldn't get proper medical care we are cemented into play. it's a kind of permanent underclass one in six workers out of work and they know no limits these corporations they know one word which is more and they're tone deaf to

the suffering of citizens and so the consequences i think are extremely dire we are flirting with the possibility of collapse especially if we suffer a currency crisis. like our attention now to libya where rebels are optimistic about gaining control over the country's strategic oil town of brega rebel leaders attribute their violence to nato airstrikes which we came to pro-government forces and the lack of purpose and unity within the alliance is leading the country into a deadly stalemate that's why the latest victories is according to r.t. his military contributor. to nato is four of sheer we think it. that is a far as lieve me a conflict he's concerned. ever thought actually he's in charge of that western humanitarian bombing in leave you think about it first what started

as a successful for a intelligence coup to go us against america does he this year in february god demands him and overtly expanding into the u n resolution behind we should the united states and its allies more involved and its full fledged western military operation in libya now ease charge of that western military effort to leave the air france the united states nato allies in fact even in washington in brussels they can figure out themselves who actually believe their western efforts this solution to be in conflict has been happy with three losses so far be to be in be disunity off efforts and and between being united states nato and allies have large instead of saving

a levy and people disparate trying to save their faces and their political career. without saying go to the mountains. and russia's caucasus takes time to welcome he's crazy. they come in the thousands. still wants to play with. the others wants to take her spirit. but she's the diva of the rivets. city has no interest best move. believe. chasing adrenaline from the heart she. looks great that's coming your way next hour here on r.t.
