out of its decades old home because there are an eyesore driving down property prices. here with r t a live from moscow now fuel prices in a recession hit europe already at record levels ballooning even further thanks to term all across the energy rich middle east it's made a scramble for cheaper alternatives even more desperate e.u. states pouring billions into their own natural gas pipeline aiming to bypass russia and reduce their dependence on one of the world's top energy exporters and it's already done a bushel 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 a cool fifteen hundred euro 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 there could be an alternative you see that but if north and south stream were already built supply risks and energy prices will be lower each use refusing to back new russian projects to supply energy is continuing to insist on diversity of supply we support especially projects access to since this is buying a book inseparable would like to have as a by john. have like a couple of other countries in the will be you farms and fast track the new gas pipeline from as through turkey but not russia's north all self stream gets nobuko

see brussels. energy analysts forecasts that crude oil prices are unlikely to drop anytime soon with the conflict in libya and beyond showing little signs of letting up patrick hose from the online political magazines like told us here at r.t. that nato members involved in the conflict have no clear plan in libya and are simply more interested in publicity rather than protection 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 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 grades international leaders and actually i think really what they're doing

is they're diverting attention away from the kind of the dough. the 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 be handed to people on a plate. providing its safety for civilians in libya is impossible colonel gadhafi remains in power but chris nineham from the stop the war coalition says airstrikes on their own can never provide liberation or that of humanitarian aid. leaving aside the question of the legality of the operation and everything that we have learned from iraq i'm from afghanistan tells us and should have told the western governments that you cannot bomb a country into democracy or liberation you cannot. you cannot create progress in a country by launching cruise missiles that is in fact what you find is the opposite when the civilians die very often the current regime actually becomes

strengthened quality time because 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 the roof after so 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 this civil war and i will have more insight into the events unfolding in libya in around something to start here on r.t. lack of leadership after military contributor explains why nato has a humanitarian mission is turning into an inhumane. also this our. guests from outer space out so you go to the russia's most alien visited region to

meet the eye witnesses from saying the truth is. there are up to three hundred thousand child sex slaves in the united states all of this according to a recent human rights report we've got to figure growing all the time washington is accused of hypocrisy and failing to protect the young victims of such trafficking. 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 like night this is where scores of prostitutes walk to get picked up and children 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 in delinquency prevention reported one thousand and six hundred juveniles were arrested for prostitution within just one year 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 sent her 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 for some in the criminal justice system in the juvenile justice system a default setting for what happens to these kids who 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 but since that happened 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 than fund shelters and invest in their future there's not enough housing for sex trafficking victims at around the country there's. thousand about eighty beds which includes that's it and you were asked and so what they're saying is so for their safety we will arrest them and put them in jail. so the cases further states but they don't get any services and we charge the victims almost all of the victims of child trafficking remember being constantly raped and abused both by 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 prostitution and so when they go to apply for public housing then the 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 in the nonprofit organizations that help victims of sex trafficking say by prosecuting their children by not investing in their recovery it is the government that is sorry their future i'm going to check our reporting from washington our team. part i still have you this hour here on the royal wedding for you sweeps the world. this country ran away from england because so of royalty in queens and queens and if the british want it let them do it but the americans could be fascinating. it's so ridiculous get all right. to use a roving reporter laurie huff ministers and if you feel that celebratory mood is a little. in the u.k.

animosity between the country's largest gypsy community and the of my town has come to a head but travelers are being told to leave home of decades so they won't go down without a fight and it's obvious that lauren 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 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 councils accused of ethnic cleansing and the four kids living in fear found there has been no free passage in year and. it's only it's our it's our lives as you only have learnt 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 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 or their parish prices go down as anything else it's a problem i'm i piss on some pounds only one of my ass he applies the rest of us so you know they should be treated same as everybody else i understand it like but you know yes just not just you know you shouldn't be there and should approach it because it is but others say the lands the travelers built on was scrap yard not green belt and the travel is a been persecuted because of their different way of life that's all i'm all for protection of the green belt and i do not think that that particular bit

constitutes a peacetime native 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 traverse a gypsy city and in fact dale farm is a considerably approach could be. case compared with many states with. whatever the truth in council voted overwhelmingly to get the travelers out and a cool sort of backs them up but it won't come cheap with. and what could be a two month long continuous operation. from. that figure rises to eighteen million including the police operation as staggering

twenty nine million dollars a particularly huge sum in austerity britain cuts a big way to council all over the country the cost of the eviction hasn't deterred the council they are no have 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 so well much that force with bags of cash and the conviction. it's. always. feature stories from. some of the items that are there right now. see. bunnies face. kremlin

apparently are 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 kings and queens it is just because they're born into a stupid family if the british wanted like i'm doing pretty americans to be. fascinated. is so ridiculous get a life already or eventually this brings a lot of thoughts for reform source things like in an inch or something like that will in my opinion really we don't need is it good for people to have thoughts away from serious things or is it just a distraction good to this group of residual was think about the problems you have . all you could have in your life then you can do you associate do you care about

the royal wedding yes a care that you need the. news that they're probably because we have a nice ability to scorn me our prime minister there too we these a moon cakes and all the seen are still there you have your own big media story yes but is it good for our culture does it in the richest 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 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 and hands.

apparent arrival have become a local celebrities. i should tell you i think the shape of these projectors made us believe that this flying saucer or whatever it was it was or the large the call because 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 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. wiles for wasn't when we share the video on our website people started copy pasting it so we got responses from achilles five eyewitnesses all over the castle in the region who also in this particular u.f.o. you follow just say this part of russia's south is like the area rosabelle in new mexico through higher food with visitors but some experts like by deem are

skeptical about the sighting many can be explained but not all of them but it's not the president or region has a very high frequency a real extraterrestrial activity always the highest in the whole country and in places like sore cheek which is a big city that stretches along the coast there is of course a better choice 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 what's the r t cross in the region. let's get to some other stories making headlines around the world this hour and at least sixteen people have been killed as tornadoes ripped through several southern u.s. states the deadliest storm of the season so far broke out late on this thursday and oklahoma

a state of emergency has been declared in some of the areas affected by the disaster . the biggest demonstrations in a month under arrest in syria forcing the president's oppressive government launch urgent reforms thousands of protesters were tear gassed and of buttons on their way to the capital a policeman is reported to have been beaten to death in one crash the opposition is demanding president assad quit and wants greater liberalization in the country. five a foreign hand for afghan troops killed in a suicide blast in eastern afghanistan probably in a military uniform hit an afghan army base near the city of jalalabad eight people are also said to me and we do it in the attack the deadliest in months against foreign troops. well the u.s. budget may include thirty eight billion dollars of spending cuts but there will be a financial boost for the military this year as planned military spending is seven hundred billion dollars while other areas including health care education and

infrastructure all on the chopping block the decision came after a long struggle between lawmakers and the pentagon saying military cuts would be a threat to national security. meantime award winning journalist chris hedges says the decision was made under severe pressure from a certain lobbying circles. they're all corporations even though the war we're losing the war they continue to make a lot of money for this war our burton raytheon northrop grumman boeing the price the stock price of these defense contractors quadrupled since the war began. and they don't give a damn how many afghans are killed or even how many. it's a kill rather then tighten restrictions. and impose campaign finance or restrictions on lobbyists the power of lobbyists corporations that was in fact been expanded and now see obama attempting to raise

a billion dollars first billion dollar presidential campaign in history so. you know i i am watching these corporations and these imperial wars which are largely being paid for by the way through that hollow my country from the inside out 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 a fifteen thousand americans died last year because they couldn't get proper medical care we have cemented into place 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 or extremely dire we are flirting with the possibility of collapse especially if we suffer a currency crisis. tensions who libyan rebels are optimistic about gaining control

of the country used to teach it boiled down of rebel leaders attribute their own violence to nato airstrikes which we can pro-government forces but the lack of purpose and unity within the alliance is leading the country into a deadly stalemate despite the lead his victories as according to military contributor. great theories for sheer wishful thinking. that is a far as levy a conflict he's concerned have you ever thought who actually he's in charge of the western humanitarian bombing in leave you think about it first what started as a successful for ange intelligence. against deathy this year in february got the momentum and overtly expanded into the u n a resolution behind the united states and its allies were involved and if

full fledged western military operation in libya now who 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 this solution to really in conflict has been haplessly lost so far between the disunity off efforts and between the united states nato and allies at large a set of saving the alevi and people desperately trying to save their faces and their political careers. this is. the goddess of the mountain locals call it. russia's caucuses welcomes oxys critter.
