soon with the conflict in libya and beyond showing little sign of letting up canada based political research or not it doesn't row told me earlier that nato wants to stay in libya to prolong the fighting between gadhafi troops and rebel forces. we're talking about here is the cost to. nato and the united states and its role is that you are not about unifying or ending the deadlock what they're doing in libya is actually insidious they are prolonging the conflict because the longer this conflict takes the more entrenched the transitional council in their services the transit what they've been doing is they've been teetering playing a teeter totter they've been helping the rebels help helping the rebels and then reducing help they want to divide the country we can this is why i'm saying this is an insidious process. and chicago based radio host and author steven lemmon has

told me that nato wants to put the oil rich country under control causing great provision for the libyan people. it's really about a. power grab. it includes controlling the resources into private enterprise lending the i.m.f. and the world. and structurally. we all waited national radar each year probation ordinary. you know democrat by any means but even maybe you really. really don't hear. well still ahead this hour on r.t. royal wedding fever sweeps the world. this country ran away from england be quite so of royalty in queens in queens at the british want it right and do it but

the american people rise in a. it's so ridiculous get a life already. roving reporter laura is in the where the sun the celebration. and story come for you guests from alpha space r.t. goes to russia's most avian visited region to me because i would this is to say the truth is out there. and stories told congress first are up to 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 saul. just walks away from capitol hill where on the street that's known as the heart for lobbyists and lawyers in washington that's by day and

night this is where scores of prosecutors walk to get picked up and killed when the 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 treatment that children get when 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 chance 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 unfortunately there is a better all money for us for instance 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 than fund shelters and invest in their future there's not enough housing for sex trafficking victims are 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 two for their safety we will arrest them and put them in jail. so the cases. but they don't get any services and we charged the victims almost all of the

victims of child trafficking remember being constantly raped and abused both spied payments on 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 person to show and so when they go to apply for public housing then i would trickle for that when they go to do certain employment that pops up in the background check 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 scoring their future i'm going to check our reporting from washington our team. well you get the latest news and feature stories from our t.v. by logging on to. all the time his equipment what's there for you at the moment. for no chances of reelection in two thousand and twelve as many americans say. his

promise of change and also online. first. spring right here in the russian capital. certainly for. one thing it. brings. it. to the fifteenth. pull it. takes a part of. the old leg in the back. today and it turned out.

to be animosity between the country's largest gypsy community in a nearby town has come to a good travelers who have been told to leave their home of decades say they won't go down without a fight. reports human dignity has been sacrificed simply to increase 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 evictions in british history is being planned and the council's accused of ethnic cleansing i've got four kids living in jail found there has been no past in year and yes there is no lonely so it's our lives as well as google 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. work in the way of rights in texas and i don't believe they did the people that live around them know their half prices go down that's the only thing nothing is a problem and might be some time properly without most rest of us so you know they should be treated like a simple yes i understand their plight but you know yes just not just you know you shouldn't be there and shouldn't brunches because it is but others say the learns the travel is built on with scrap yards not green belt and the travelers are being persecuted because of their different way of life so i'm all for protection of the green belt i do not think that that particular bit constitutes the steinmetz in any

way i mean 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 gypsying city and in fact dale farm is a considerably. approach could be. compared with many times in st swithin. whatever the truth battles in council voted overwhelmingly sick at the charcoal it out and backs them up but it won't come cheap with litigation and bailiffs and what could be a two month long continuous operation. with the authority. that 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 made to council all over the country the cost of the eviction hasn't deterred the council though and nor have threats of violence from the travellers after 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 parcels in council will match that force with bags of cash and the conviction that the law is on best site your emmett's. essex british royal wedding is still two weeks away but the hype reached fever pitch from twitter and newspapers there's no getting away from prince william and kate middleton oftenest as in new york reactions are somewhat polarized with little middle ground. i used 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 of of royalty and pins and queens it is just because they're born into a stupid family if the british run it like and do it but the americans that they could be fascinating. it's so ridiculous get a life already america eventually this brings a lot of thoughts for reform so stings like in. something like that. in my opinion really really is that good for people to have cuts away from serious things or is it just a distraction good because if you always think about the problems you have. in your life when you kill yourself do you care about the royal wedding yes they care about you need. not probably because we have been a scone our prime minister there that we these

a good. takes all the scene so there you have your own big media story. 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 our 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 is happy to flood the 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. u.f.o. hunters chasing aliens on earth are likely to be causing a genocide song in southern russia looks like a number of visitors from space have been caught on camera and eye witnesses of

each is a pirate arrival become local celebrities. so the shape of these projectors made us believe that this flying saucer or whatever it was it was or the launch the call because 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 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 peel's and local politics now he's ready to take on the x. files converting from islam but when we share the video at our website people started copy pasting it so we got responses from achilles five other eyewitnesses all over the grass of the region who also this particular u.f.o. you follow just say this part of russia is like the area role grows will in new mexico. but some experts like by deem are skeptical

about the sighting many can be explained but not all of them are christian and our region has a very high frequency a real extraterrestrial activity almost the highest in the 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 in 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. cross in the region. eighteen minutes past the hour now here in the russian capital time now it's not that you're some other stories making international headlines in serbia tens of thousands of people are taking to the streets calling for an early parliamentary election they played the western government for the deeply economic crisis and alleged corruption and official say the election will be held only after thirty received candidacy for european union membership in the autumn in response

the leader of the most influential opposition party says he'll 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 this is in the key demand from protesters because it allows the regime to arrest people without charge that presidents televised speech before the cabinet followed the biggest demonstrations yet on friday thousands of protesters were met with tear gas and back on their way to the capital. nato says five coalition and five 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 eight people are also said to have been wounded 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 on this year's planned military spending

a seven hundred billion dollars while other areas including health care education and infrastructure are on the chopping block the decision came after a long struggle between lawmakers in the pentagon saying military cuts will threaten national security. analyst 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 albert raytheon northrop grumman boeing the price the stock price of these defense contractors quadrupled since the war. 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 lobbyist power of lobbyists corporations is in fact an expanded now see obama all the time to raise a billion dollars first billion dollar presidential campaign in history so. you

know i am watching these corporations and these imperial wars which are largely being paid for by the way through that hollow of my country from the inside out and destroy it and that's how imperial powers always done. 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 you're 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. as it made a couple of a career diplomats in the presidential special envoy to afghanistan says that in

order to secure the peace in this water one country has to also focus on reconstruction. we don't believe we're in a foreign occupation because it's indeed fuels for at least two reasons and i've known that many. fighting for most of the real florida says crusaders and readers. guns are very much a letter to any foreign military presence of their country and their independence oriented like many other most of the countries of the world answer to the world but . much more sensitive due to their recent history. that's why of course we are not we don't believe in a long form presence to be so i will start realizing affects but scenes oh these

are peroration started ten years ago or we also don't believe feel the solution but we don't believe in middle to social and it was i would come and make action inside stuff. spotlight coming away to later head. back to libya where rebels are optimistic about gaining control of the country strategic oil tell a beggar rebel leaders attribute their advance to nato airstrikes which we can pro-government forces but the lack of purpose and unity with any allowances in a country into a deadly stalemate despite the latest victories so says ati's military contributor and nato is for of sheer thinking. that is a far as alleviate 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 frame intelligence coup to go us against america does he this year in february god the man tim and covertly expanded into the u n a resolution behind weeds should the united states and its allies were involved in a full fledged western military operation in libya now ease in charge of that western military effort to leave france the united states nato or allies in fact even in washington in brussels they can figure out themselves who actually is leading their western efforts this solution to really in conflict has been happy with three losses so far between the sunni and the off efforts and

between the united states nato and allies have large instead of saving a levy and people desperately trying to save their faces and their political careers it's not twenty five minutes past the hour. crew will be meeting the contests of the mountains the now river in russia's caucasus. they come in thousand. souls want to play with. the others want to take her spirit. but she is the diva of the rivers. is in her best. believe. chasing adrenaline
