joe makoto killdeer a boutique hotel turns. in serbia is a very little in. the sea. rocketing energy prices caused by turmoil in the arab world lead to a european scramble to secure its energy future but experts say old school russophobia could. we say that this child is a victim and yet police and it's a jail somewhere along the line there's something wrong with that. the u.s. is accused of failing to protect thousands of child prostitutes at home by locking up those most at risk instead of stepping in to help. and physically cleanse britain's largest gypsy community is booted out of its decades old home all

because they're driving down property prices. international news not for most of us here in central moscow this is the fuel prices in recession hit europe already at record levels of polluting even further thanks to term all across the energy rich middle east it's made the scramble for cheaper alternatives even more desperate e.u. states important billions into their own natural gas pipeline aiming to bypass russia and reduce their dependence on one of the world's top energy exporters but is also a bushel now reports europe is likely to pay a high price for that. for frank's truck company the road ahead looks bleak soaring oil prices mean filling up now costs fifteen hundred euros if you are not

watching it closely then then you go bankrupt chaos in libya and the oil rich did least has hit a huge supplies and shot up prices but they could be an alternative you see that only for even north and south which screen well already builds supply risks and energy prices will be lower. the e.u.'s refusing to back you russian projects to supply energy is continuing to insist on diversity of supply we support especially projects which give us access. this is why i would like to have the chart as. i have like other countries in the will the e.u. funds and force tracks the gas pipeline from azerbaijan 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

analysts say the e.u.'s leaking a very expensive in the states 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 problem in russia compared with some other places if boylan's in the arab world continues into next month experts tipped fuel prices to double again that school 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's he will do then you will see russell's. he's an expert in the middle east and central asia thanks very much indeed for joining us well as we

just heard in that report energy prices are soaring due to the unrest across the middle east well further impact could this have on europe's already struggling economy do you think. we're seeing the world economy becoming remodelled this includes the european continent and. the members of you they themselves are part of this project and they're driving themselves further into the orbit of the united states. knocking away for russia which is an actual. dependable is an actual stable form of energy. for europe they pay themselves when they get involved in such operations as the ones in iraq. nor very well strategically what the outcome will be and. european leaders are actually pushing europe into the united states so we're going to see europe becoming

remodeled and faded further with the united states but isn't this high on the. business hike in energy prices and kneejerk reaction because overall if we look at what's happening there and maybe despite the disruption and the turmoil that the rebels are matching creating their own central bank add a new national oil company so doesn't that suggest that they're actually getting their act together. to an extent it is a knee jerk reaction but i'd like to also point out that the rebels the oil supplies have. been military as well. and pipelines as well. in libya but the europeans know very well you know very well what direction. this is taking and yes it is it's more than a neat need jerk reaction because it is strategically it helps justify

a new economic reform policies there austerity measures when prices go up a lot of things in the economy after change and instead of moving in cooperation with russia they're actually moving away from russia which is very ironic interests . let's just talk about the situation in libya at the moment many are saying this is a stalemate nato hasn't achieved what it really should have done we're learning that that international contact group recently formed in london is setting up a trust fund to channel assets to the libyan rebels are also going to reports from the rebels themselves that nato is actually supplying them with weapons at the moment now surely because of this isn't it right that nato should be bending the rules. and show you a resolution to actually bring a deadlock to bring an end to this deadlock and this conflict and and the deaths of civilians in libya. what we're talking about here is the politics of. nato and the united states as well as you are not. unifying or ending the deadlock

what they're doing in libya is actually insidious it's a gradual. and slow progressive. process about how can you say that you know you're actually saying they're trying to promote this campaign i mean that doesn't contradict what we have yesterday from sarkozy obama and cameron saying. look what we've got to do is actually now get rid of gadhafi that is the main aim of it definitely trying along this complaint their own. they're the ones he can contradict or told mr obama says that we're not going to send troops he says we're going to send troops the tally and say we're not going to get involved and we're going to get involved nato is not going to be nato is not going to go nato is going to send troops the spokesman for an eight spokesperson for nato says you want to send troops the military commander of nato says we're going to send the stabilization mission big they can't be trusted i have if you

want this is our client to contradict themselves just explain quickly why many people be thinking well why are you saying this after all this effort and energy that nato been putting into this and of course with help from the u.s. why would they want this to be a prolonged conflict in libya and not remove gadhafi as soon as possible it doesn't make sense is it. it does i'm glad you asked this people have a right to know they are prolonging the conflict because it's the longer this conflict takes the more entrenched the transitional council will be in their services the transit what they've been doing is they've been teeter teeter totter they've been helping the rebels then ceasing help helping the rebels and then reducing help they like to divide the country and we can this is why i'm saying this is an insidious process that's taking control it's a very quickly we have got much time we didn't talk about russia i just want your quick comments about russia's potential role here in bringing some sort of

stability to libya just briefly could russia be playing a role here yes russia and the former soviet republics can definitely play a role in two thousand and ten the secretary general of the collective security treaty organization which is headquartered in moscow and the secretary general of the united nations made an agreement that sets the legal and political framework into place for an end to nato so-called peacekeeping monopoly russia and to collect a collective security treaty organization members which includes stand belo routes armenia and countries like. all st peacekeepers into libya you can't have a combatant you can't have parties that are combatants become peacekeepers like nato did in yugoslavia they were amongst the combatants then they send peacekeepers and this is pretty astri's i guess is why you need countries like russia trying on algeria to say peacekeepers and not not germany not italy not britain not friends

because they are being are not impartial impartial parties they're biased they're combatants ok we'll have to leave it there. joining us live. very much. thank you. well still ahead for you this hour the royal wedding fever sweeps the world this country ran away from england because so of royalty and kings and queens of the british won it right can do it but the american bison maybe. it's so ridiculous that i'll wipe already apparent oddities radio reporter laura hall from this is in new york where the. is a little more subject. and gas 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. there are three hundred thousand child sex slaves in the u.s.

according to a recent human rights report and with that figure growing all the time washington is accused of hypocrisy and failing to protect the young victims of sex trafficking . has more on this. 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 a hot for lobbyists and lawyers in washington that's why day at night this is where scores of prostitutes walk 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 underage american girls are exploited for commercial sex in the united states but the usual trick when the children get when arrested is either jail climb or probation in the us prostitution laws do not examine 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 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 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 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 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 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 fun 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 u.s. and so what they're saying is so for their safety we will arrest them and put them in jail. but they don't get any services. almost all of the victims of child trafficking remember being constantly raped and abused both 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 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. stations 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 and reporting from washington. and you can get the latest news and feature stories from our website it's called here's a quick look at what's there for you know. baby seal called families becoming one russian family. and. would you really. like to be. called. to the. country. watched certainly.

dates back to. school. taking part of the military play in the background. that story available for an r.t. dot com now in the u.k. animosity between the country's largest gypsy community in a nearby town that's come to a head and travelers who have been told to leave their home a decade say they won't go down without a fight and as artie's reports human dignity has been 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 travel a site where one of the biggest if exceptions in british history is being planned and the councils accused of ethnic cleansing i've got four kids living in jail

found there has been no protest in year and yes there is no lonely so it's our lives as well we have words we want all 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 force 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 art and property values down 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 and protections and i don't believe they did the people that live around them know there has prices go down as anything i think it's a problem and maybe some from consoli not might be a target rest or so you know they should be treated 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 the lands the travelers built on 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 greenbelt i do not think that that particular bit constitutes just trying to measure 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 gypsies and in fact dale farm is a considerably. quite. case compared to many times in history. whatever the truth travels in council voted overwhelmingly sick at the travelers out and a cool sort of backs them up but it won't come cheap with litigation and and what could be a. continuous operation. from

. just. in the course. it could cause. that figure rises to eighteen million including the police operation a staggering twenty nine million dollars a particularly huge sum in austerity britain. to council all over the country because to be a bit hasn't deterred the council and north of threats of violence from the travellers battle lines being drawn here it dale farm the thousand strong communities where bell thoughts literally if necessary because they've got nowhere else to go and council will much force with bags of cash and the conviction. rate. at six the british royal wedding is still two weeks away

already reached fever pitch from the newspapers there's no getting away from prince william and kate middleton's big day this was in new york where reactions are somewhat polarized a middle ground. are you sick of the media's nonstop coverage of the royal wedding this week let's talk about that this country ran away from england because of of royalty and came to 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. fascinated is so ridiculous get a life already or eventually this brings a lot of thoughts for reform source things like in in japan or something like that the world in my opinion really really is that good for people to have thoughts away from serious things or is that just a distraction good that is true because if you always think about the problems you

have. no you could have in your life when you came to yourself do you care about the royal wedding yes they care about you need. not probably because we have a nice have been a scone our prime minister there through a visa boom boom takes it all the scene 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 turn you down it doesn't tell me no it does not whether or 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. there are some other stories making international headlines around the world at this stage of the day and while that face to be a first and tens of thousands of people have taken to the streets calling for an early parliamentary election they blame the western leaning government for the deeply economic crisis and a leadscrew option but officials say the election will be held only after serbia received candidacy for european union membership in the autumn and dispense the leader of the most influential opposition party says hold a hunger strike until the request is met. syria's president has addressed his new government saying he expects a decades long state of emergency to be lifted by next week as has been a key demand for testers because it allows the regime to arrest people without charge presidents to devise speech before the cabinet full of the biggest demonstrations yet thousands of protesters were recruited and he's on their way to

. fight for and for afghan troops have been killed in a suicide blast in eastern afghanistan a bomber in a military uniform hit an afghan army base near the city of jalalabad and people are also said to be moving in the attack the deadliest in months against foreign troops. the u.s. budget may include thirty eight billion dollars in spending cuts but there will be a financial boost for the military they see as military spending a seven hundred billion dollars other areas including health care education and infrastructure are on the chopping block the decision came up for a long struggle between more makers and the pentagon saying military cuts will threaten national security more winning journalist chris hedges says the decision was made under severe pressure from some lobbying circles. there are corporations even though the war we're losing the war they continue to make a lot of money for this war al a 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 rather then tighten restrictions. and impose campaign finance or restrictions on lobbyists the power of lobbyists corporations that is in fact been expanded and now see obama attempting to raise a billion dollars first billion dollar presidential campaign in history. you know 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 fifteen thousand americans died last year because they couldn't get proper medical care cemented into place

the 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 their 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 u.f.o. hunters chasing aliens on earth are likely to be costing a genocide that some here in southern russia where looks like a number of visitors from space have been caught on camera and i would this is the ease of power to rival become local celebrities. i should note that this shape of these projectors made us believe that this flying saucer whatever it was it was or the launch the call pico small the only people to film the lights and have become overnight celebrities the u.f.o. safe was immediately aired on local television the villages own channels of

a car ran a feature story about the sighting and published a video on the internet local reporter alexander broke the story a complete change from his usual fare of milk 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 started copying pasting it with you so we got responses from accused by eyewitnesses all over the grass 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. but some experts like by deem are skeptical about the sighting many can be explained but not all of them are krisna the region has a very high frequency a real extraterrestrial activity always placed in the whole country and in places like sore cheek 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 r.t. crossing the region. artie's crew will be meeting the corner of the mountains the belly a river in russia's caucasus. they come in. so long to play with. the other one to take her spirits. but she is the chief of the river. city is in her best. billie. chasing
