soaring oil prices cast a shadow over energy security as that conflicting supply routes vie for european customers. 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 blaming victims the u.s. is accused of failing to protect the innocent has children trapped in prostitution are being jailed instead of help. and not in my backyard britain's largest gypsy community appears to battle in fiction from its decades long home.

broadcasting live from our studios in central moscow this is archie certainly glad to have you with us let's take a look at our top stories. fuel prices in recession hit europe already at record levels are ballooning even further thanks to turmoil across the energy rich middle east it's made the scramble for cheaper alternatives even more desperate e.u. states are pouring billions in to their own natural gas pipeline aiming to bypass russia and reduce their dependence on one of the world's top energy exporters but as our g.'s then your bushel reports europe is likely to pay a high price for that too. for friends truck company the road ahead looks bleak soaring oil prices mean filling up costs cool fifteen hundred euros if you're not

watching it closely than then you go bankrupt chaos in libya and the oil rich middle east has hit a you supplies and shot up prices but they could be an alternative you see that if north and south stream were already built supply risks and energy prices would be lower. the e.u. is 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 since this is buying a book itself would like to have as a big giant is the part that also have like a couple of other countries in the will be you funs and fast tracks the gas pipeline from through turkey but not russia's north all cell stream gets the google cost much more to build its suppliers have no no resources to spare and the logic

of building it is even questioned by participants and list say the e.u. is 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 problem the middle east show that europe does have a reliable energy problem in russia compared with some other places if pilots in the arab world continues into next month experts to fuel prices to double again that's thought feels lower as in particular with trade 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 or even short of money for food and if prices gobble he doesn't know what's he will do then he will sure see brussels. on the ground in libya local doctors say that five civilians have been killed in heavy shelling of misrata by

a pro golf the forces this is the only western city still controlled by the rebels after more than a month of intense fighting nato is being criticized for failing to break the siege of the city by cut off its troops political researcher mahdi. says the alliance is a prolonging the conflict in libya instead of helping to resolve it. all we're talking about here is the courts except if nato and the united states and its role as the e.u. are not about unifying or ending the deadlock what they're doing in libya is actually insidious they are prolonging the conflict because it's 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 here for teeter totter they've been helping the rebels ceasing help helping the rebels and then reducing help be able to divide the country and we can this is why i'm saying this is an insidious

process chicago based radio host and author stephen lindemann says nato wants to put the oil rich country under control causing greater deprivation for the libyan people but really about a power grab that's what it's all about power grab more include controlling the resource there's be exploiting the private i mean if they had a bright. idea i am a little girl baby. and structurally. words mean what we needed magistrate. eat ration ordinary libyans could i be the no democrat plenty but even maybe in a free education free don't hear wrong way to go on. artie's military contributor says that the lack of purpose and unity within the alliance is leading the country into a deadly stalemate maitreya's for of sheer thinking.

that is a far as a lead to conflict he's concerned have you ever thought who actually is in charge of the western humanitarian bombing and leave you think about it first what started as a successful for ange intelligence coup to go us against america deathy this year in february god demand to him and overtly expanded into the u n a resolution behind we had the united states and its allies were involved in a full fledged western military operation in libya now ease in charge of their western military effort to leave france the united states nato allies in fact even in washington and brussels they can figure out themselves who

actually is leading their western efforts and this solution to libyan conflict has been happy with sli lost so far between the disunity efforts among and between the united states nato and allies at large a set of saving a levy and people desperately trying to save their faces and their political careers. still ahead for you this hour royal wedding fever sweeps the world. this country ran away from england because of royalty and kings and queens if the british wanted my pen do it but the americans the big prize in a day. is so ridiculous get a life already american party's a roving reporter maury harvest is in new york where for some the celebrity mood is still a little one of the. guests from outer space goes

to russia's most visited region to meet the eye witness. you say the truth is out there. washington is being accused of failing to protect the young victims of sex trafficking with many of them ending up in prison instead of finding help according to the f.b.i. estimates there are at least one hundred thousand to child sex slaves in the u.s. and as archie's going to church you can reports even if they manage to get off the street the victims find it impossible to rebuild their lives. 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 blocks away from capitol hill where 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 prosecutes like to get picked up and killed when the average age 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 the children get when arrested is either jail time or probation in the u.s. prosecution 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 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 center 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 we want to make sure that these

children are treated as victims but treating the victims and providing for their recovery requires funding and fortunately there is a 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 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. hundred thousand about eighty beds which includes that's it and the us so what they're saying is for their safety we will arrest them and put them in jail. for safety but they don't get any services and we charged almost all of the victims of child trafficking remember being constantly raped and abused 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 faced a 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 certain employment that pops up in their background check these children is already scarred as it is and 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 their future and i'm going to check our reporting from washington our team. of the latest news and feature stories from our g by logging on to our web site. here's a look at what's there for you right now. really find out president obama's chances of reelection in two thousand and twelve as many americans say they feel betrayed by his promise of change. also on the line the guards conduct their first

belt of the year a sure sign that spring has a right. surfer of the so. what's to get over the. bible and bring. it. to the government. to. see this people. well wolf taking part. in the background. that is. great we've got the. core of the. people. in the u.k. animosity between the country's largest gypsy community and

a nearby town has come to a head of travelers who are being told to leave their home of decades say they won't go down without a fight and as archie's a war ended reports human dignity is being sacrificed simply to increase housing prices. it's an age old story traveller communities been 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 the four kids living in jail found there has been no free passage in year and yes there is no leaves our it's our lives as well you know words with travellers have been living at dale farm since the nine hundred seventy s. the settlement started off small and the trouble began when new comers came and boards 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 that everybody should paying their way in the way of rights contractions i don't believe they did the people that live around them know their past prices go down as anything else it's a problem that might be some sometimes only one of might be a part of rest of it so you know they should be treated as everybody else i understand it like but you know yes just not as you know you shouldn't be there really should be growing trees because it is but others say the lands the travelers built on was scrapyard not green belt and the travellers are being 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 beach constitutes

a stein 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 travelers and gypsies and in fact dale farm is a considerably. peaceful. yes compared with many housing estates with. whatever the truth councils in council voted overwhelmingly she kept the travellers out and of course it would have backs them up but it won't come cheap with litigation and bailiffs and what could be a two month long continuous operation of some. trouble. for us. 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 where cuts are being made to council

funding all over the country the cost of the eviction hasn't deterred the council they are north of threats of violence from the travellers battle lines are being drawn here it dale farm the thousand strong communities where they'll thoughts literally if necessary because they've got nowhere else to go and battles in council will match that force with bags of cash and the conviction that the law is on their site here and it's ot battle the six. the british royal wedding is still two weeks away but the hype has already reached fever pitch from twitter to newspapers there's no getting away from the big day for prince william and kate middleton or he's a lawyer her finest is in new york where reactions are somewhat polarized with little middle ground. i.e. sick of the media's nonstop coverage of the royal wedding this week let's talk about that because 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 that they could be fascinating. it's so ridiculous get a life already of marriage eventually this brings our thoughts for reform source things like in in japan or 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 it just a distraction good to this group because if you were stink about the problems you have. no you could have in your life when you came in to yourselves do you care about the royal wedding yes a care that you need. not probably because we have a nice a bit of a scone me our prime niece there. takes it all the

scene so there 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 ha 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 go me down no it does not but they're not you want to be inundated but the media is that big. the news stories the bottom line is they're not going to stop anytime soon the only real answer is to keep that remote control close at hand. hunters chasing aliens on earth are likely to be casting a jealous southern russia what looks like a number of visitors from space have been caught on camera and eye witnesses of

these apparent arrival have become local celebrities. the shape of these projectors made us believe that this flying saucer or whatever it was it was or the large the call because some of 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 a complete change from his usual fare of milk yields and local politics now he's ready to take on the x. wiles in terms of when we share the video on our website people start a copy pasting it so we got responses from the keys by eyewitnesses all over the crash region who also spotted this particular u.f.o. you follow just say this part of russia is like the area role grows will in new mexico harbor with visitors but some experts like for deem are skeptical

about the sighting many can be explained but not all of them that's not present in the region has a very high frequency a real extraterrestrial activity almost 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 chance 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. let's take a look at some other stories making international headlines for you. in serbia tens of thousands of people have taken to the streets calling for an early parliamentary election they blame the western leaning government for the deepening economic crisis and alleged corruption brother officials say the election will be held only

after serbia receives candidacy for european union membership that's going to take place in the autumn in response the leader of the most influential opposition party says he will 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 has been the key demand from protesters because it allowed of the regime to arrest people without charge the president's televised speech before the cabinet followed the biggest demonstrations yet on friday thousands of protesters were met with tear gas and batons 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 months against

foreign troops. 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's a planned military spending is 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 and the pentagon say military cultural national security award 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 our burden raytheon northrop grumman boeing the price the stock price of these defense contractors has quadrupled since the world began. and they don't give a damn how many afghans are killed or even how many americans are killed rather than tighten restrictions. and impose campaign finance or restrictions on

lobbyists the power of lobbyists corporations that it 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 am watching these corporations and these imperial wars which are largely being paid for by the way from hollow my country 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 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 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. zamir a couple of career diplomat and president special envoy to afghanistan says that in order to secure peace in this war torn country nato has to also focus on reconstruction the full interview is coming up for you next hour but here's a quick preview. we don't believe we're in a foreign occupation because it's deeds to rules for at least two reasons. one that many of those so while fighting for most of the floor in the sense crusaders and in reverse. guns are going to much are legit and therefore i'm going to report this is their country and their independence only and not like many of those or most of the country is also going through the world. much more sensitive

due to their recent history. that's my of course so we are not we don't believe in a long forty three of them still be so i will start realizing our facts but seems these operations started ten years ago or we also don't believe feel to solution but we don't believe in the middle or so should it was i would come and make action inside the star. ready made of proteins that devotion to judo and skiing i've already posted his popularity among russians and now he's been put on ice the prime minister slipped on his skates to train at the fed made members of a russian ice hockey team in the forty minute session and the net several times and set up a few goals for others he's only been
