trying to. find out what's really happening to the global economy with much stronger or no holds barred look at the global financial headlines. is a report. on the. soaring oil prices cast a shadow over new energy security as conflicting supply routes by for european customers. we say that this child is a victim and yet we send her to jail somewhere along the line there's something wrong with that. blaming the victims the u.s. is accused of failing to protect the innocent as a children trapped in prostitution are being jailed instead of helping. them and not in my backyard curtains largest gypsy community prepares the battle of fiction

from its decades long home. from our studios in central moscow this is our team we're glad to have you with us fuel prices in a recession hit europe already had record levels are ballooning even further thanks to turmoil across the energy rich middle east and it's made the scramble for cheaper alternatives even more desperate e.u. states are 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 but as our g.'s daniel bushell 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 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 you supplies and shot up prices but they could be an alternative you see that even north and south stream were already builds supply risks and energy prices would be lower huge. bill hughes refusing to back the new russian projects to supply energy is continuing to insist on diversity of supply we support especially projects which give us access to the since this is our priority would like to have as a big giant as a part. like qatar and other countries in the will you funds and force 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 loss of building it is even questioned by participants. 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 trouble in the middle east show that europe does have a reliable energy problem in russia compared with some other places if oil and the me arab world continues into next month experts to fuel prices to double again that feels lower as 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 if prices double he doesn't know what he'll do then you will see brussels on the ground in libya local doctors say that five civilians have been

killed in heavy shelling of misrata. forces this is the only western city still controlled by rebels after more than a month of intense fighting nato is being criticized for failing to break with the city by gadhafi troops who are to call researcher. says the alliance is long in the conflict in libya instead of helping resolve. we're talking about here is the courts except if they don't the united states and its role as the e.u. are not of unifying or anything that that lot of 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 here flinging teeter totter they've been helping the rebels 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 according to radio host and author steven in london the military intervention in libya is an attempt to gain control of the country's oil wealth and is not helping libyans at all really about a power grab as well as all of our gratitude a lot more it includes controlling the resources exploiting the people proud of it i mean if they had a price to pay me i am a little world. to structurally just words mean what we did great jobs eat neighborhood asian but the ordinary libyans could be you know democratic by anybody but even libyans for u.k. she didn't for you know all this will be swept away you know on. parties military contributor says the lack of purpose and unity within the alliance that is leading the country into a deadly stalemate maitreya's four of 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 yet think about it first what started as a successful french intelligence who did us against. this year in february got the man to him and overtly expand into into the u n a resolution behind the united states and its allies more involved and in full fledged western military operation in libya now ease charge of the western military effort to leave via 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 leave in conflict has been happy with three lost so far between be disunity off efforts among and between the united states nato and pale eyes at large instead of saving they a libyan people desperately trying to save their faces and their political couriers. those are things that military contributor in afghanistan expert you're going to show off and coming up in the program russia's pm gets his skates on. putin gets his moves together and joins the junior team of russia for a practice session. guests from outer space partied goes into russia's most alien visited region to meet the eye witnesses who say the truth is out there plus. this country ran away from england be quite so of royalty and kings and

queens and if the british want it let them do it for the americans to be fascinating. it's so ridiculous carol white. as royal wedding or fever sweeps the world or he's a roving reporter laurie harshness is in new york where for some the celebrity mood is a little more subdued all of that and much more still. washington is being accused of failing to protect the young victims of sex trafficking with many of them ending up in prison and stead of finding help according to the f.b.i. estimates there are at least one hundred thousand child sex slaves in the u.s. is archie's going to change or can it 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 sold. here's what's away from capitol hill we're on the street

that's known as the heart for lobbyists and lawyers in washington that's why day like night this is where scores of prosecutors walk to get picked up and killed when 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 u.s. 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 but lawyers 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 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 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 and fortunately there is a federal money for us with a sense 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 around the country there's. hundred thousand about eighty beds which includes that's it anyway and so what they're saying is for their safety we will arrest them and put them in jail. so the case is done first 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 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 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 r.t. . between the country's largest gypsy community and a nearby town has come to head the travelers who are being told to leave their home

of decades so they won't go down without a fight and as our reports human dignity is being sacrificed simply to increase housing 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 in british history is being planned and the council's accused of ethnic cleansing for kids living until found has been. loads of. travellers have been living at dale farm since the nineteenth seventy's this settlement. 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 travelers 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 it were more god i think that everybody should paying their way in the way of rights in texas but i don't believe they did the people that live around them know their past prices go down that say anything after that is a problem and might be some time comes only when up might be a part of rest of it so you know they should be treated as a reporter you understand a ploy but you know yes just not just you know you shouldn't be there really shouldn't brunches because it is but others say the lands the travelers built on was scrapyards not greenbelt and the travel is a being persecuted because of their different way of life that's all i'm all for protection of a green i do not think that that particular needs constitutes a stine measure in any way i agree that there are always people in every community

who you know mess up games 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. critical piece school case compared with many housing estates within the internet settle whatever the truth battled in council voted overwhelmingly to get the travellers out and of course also backs them up but it won't come cheap with litigation and bailiffs and what could be a two month long continuous operation if some to threats to me my trouble is that flights from other organizations who are not travelers will come down just to have a chat with with the authorities in the course. it could cost up to eight pounds that figure right. eighteen million including the police operation and twenty nine million dollars a particularly huge sum in all staring. cops are being made to count all over the

country the cost of the eviction hasn't deterred the council they i know have threats of violence from the travelers battle lines are being drawn here at dale farm the thousand strong community swear they'll fight literally if necessary because they've got nowhere else to go. so well much that force with bags of cash and the conviction that saw eight. six of course you can get the latest news stories from our. to our web site. for you right now. you can really find out president obama. by his promise of change. the problem in the first.

one thing it. will bring. all day to see the government dates back to the fifteenth century the people as. well. as in the background. of. course the the people. 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 his lawyer harvest is in new york where reactions are somewhat polarized with little middle ground.

are you think of the media's numbs that coverage of the royal wedding this week let's talk about that this 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 run it like and do it with the americans to be. fascinating. it's so ridiculous carol right already america eventually this brings our thoughts for reform in search things like in japan or something like that or what in my opinion really we don't need is this good for people to have thoughts away from serious things or is it just a distraction good it is good because if you will resist think about the problems you have. you could have in your life then you can. do you care about the

royal wedding yes they care about you need. not. because we have a nice have been to scorn me our brain needs they're there to ease it. takes it all the seen so there you have your own big media story yeah but is it good for our culture does it in 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 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 know whether or not you want to be inundated but the media is 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 their hands.

u.f.o. hunters chasing aliens on earth are likely to be casting a jealous science some in southern russia what looks like a number of visitors from space have been caught on camera and eyewitnesses of apparent arrival have become local celebrities. i should note that the shape of these projectors made us believe that this flying saucer or whatever it was it was or the large the coal pick of 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 to run a feature story about the sighting and publish the video on the internet local reporter alexander broke the story a complete change from his usual fare of milk eels and local politics now he's ready to take on the x. files for muslim when we share the video on our website people start a copy pasting it so we got responses from at least five other eyewitnesses all over the question who also spotted this particular u.f.o.

you follow just say this part of russia is like the area around rosabelle in new mexico harbor food with visitors but some experts like are skeptical about the sighting and many can be explained but not all of them are christian and our region has a very high frequency a real extraterrestrial activity. in the whole country and in places like sore cheek which is a big city even stretches along 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. crossing the region and later today our crew meets the goddess of the mountains the belly river in russia's caucasus. they come

in cars and. so long to play with. the other one to take her spirits. but she has begun to rivers. is her. feel your river. chasing a drug cartel. now on to some other stories making international headlines for you right now. 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 but officials say the election will be held only after serbia receives tended to see

for the european union membership in autumn in response to the leader of the most influential opposition party says he will 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 will be lifted by next week this has been the key demand from protesters because it allowed it 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 baton 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 name clude thirty eight billion dollars of spending cuts there will be a financial boost for the military this year's planned military spending is seven hundred billion dollars for the u.s. while other areas include health care education and infrastructure are on the chopping block the decision came up after a long struggle between lawmakers and the pentagon saying military cuts national security senior fellow at the center for advanced defense studies anthony shaffer says even though the war has turned into a business for some the us can't afford more military spending. you have a large committed bureaucracy now in charge of the war the bureaucracy feeds very well and that includes industry makes money off the contracts that includes those and power i'll make a lot of headway with this bureaucracy overseeing this this counterinsurgency it allows the power allows in the flow of money we didn't get or overnight this is

been bad decisions layered on bad decisions which now has put it to the point where we have a statistical rise in violence in afghanistan that matches exactly our troop increase i think afghanistan was going to be a tipping point showing that we're strong on defense but i think they picked the wrong back so i think there's an awakening now ongoing where people are asking the very difficult questions about what is the end game and why aren't we getting any closer to that end game with the money we're spending has got to change and we don't have much and this is where i think the tea party is coming into right now saying we just don't have the resources to be the world's policeman anymore and we don't. need a couple of career diplomat and president if you have a 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 later this hour but here is a quick preview. we don't believe. for an occupation because it's
