soaring oil prices cast a shadow over you energy security as conflicting supply routes are high for european customers. we say that this child is a victim and yet we sent to jail somewhere along the line there's something wrong with that. blaming the victim the u.s. is accused of failing to protect the innocent children trapped in prostitution are being jailed instead of hell. and not in my backyard britain's largest a gypsy community compares the battle a fiction from its decades long home. broadcasting

live from our studios right here in central moscow this is r.t. we're glad to have you with us fuel prices in recession hit europe already at record levels are blooming 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 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 general bushell reports europe is likely to pay a high price for that also. for friends 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 even when you go

bankrupt chaos in libya and the oil rich middle east has hit a huge supplies and shot up prices but they could be an alternative you see the early evening or insult stream were already built supply risks in energy prices would be lower. they use refusing to back new russian projects to supply energy it's continuing to insist on diversity of supply we support any projects which give us access to. this is spinal book. but i can have this apart. i have like a couple of other countries in the will be you farms and fast tracks the gas pipeline from through turkey but not russia's north all cells stream. of course much more to build its supplies have no resources to spare and the loss of building

it is even questioned by participants analyst 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 trouble in the middle east show that europe does have a reliable energy problem in russia compared with some other places if violence in the arab world continues into next month experts keep fuel prices to double again that sort feels low and as in particular with dread first and foremost 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 to do then you will sure i'll see brussels on the ground in libya local doctors say that five civilians have been killed in heavy shelling of misrata by duffy forces this is the only western

city still controlled by the rebels and for more than a month of intense fighting nato is being criticized for failing to break the siege of the city by the party's troops political researcher marty dias. says the alliance is one in the conflict in libya instead of helping. it was all. over are talking about here is the politics of nato and the united states and its role as the e.u. are not about unifying or ending that 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 and their services to transit what they've been doing is they've been playing a teeter totter they've been helping the rebels then ceasing help helping the rebels and then reducing help they want to divide the country and weaken it this is why i'm saying this is an insidious process according to radio host and author

steven 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. power grab. it includes controlling the resources be exploiting the people private enterprise. india i am a. jew but structurally do you mean what we did. for haitian ordinary libyans it does me no democratic by any means but even maybe in free education free always will be. on. guard his military contributor says it's the lack of purpose and unity within the alliance that is leading the country into a deadly stalemate. is four of sheer wishful thinking.

that is a far as alleviate conflict beast concern. who actually these charge all of the western humanitarian bombing in leave you think about it first what started as a successful french intelligence us against. this year in february got them a man to him and overtly expanded into into the un resolution behind the united states and its allies were involved and in full fledged western military operation in libya now who eased charge of the western military effort to leave france the united states and nato were allies in fact even in washington and brussels they can figure out themselves who actually he's leading

their western efforts this solution to really in conflict has been haplessly last so far between big. efforts and between the united states nato and pale eyes at large set of saving the elite b. and people desperately trying to save their faces and their political careers. that was archies a military contributor crucial and coming up in the program russia's pm gets his skates on. the give me a good thing gets his moves together and joins a junior team but watch out for a practice session. and guests from outer space r.t. goes to russia's most visited region to meet the i wouldn't seize you say the truth is out there plus. this country ran away from england be quite so of royalty and

kings and queens that if the british want it let them do it but the americans could be fascinating. it's so ridiculous ready america as royal wedding fever sweeps of the world are these roving reporter laurie is in new york where for song the soul celebrate or the mood is a little bit more subdued all that and much more still ahead. 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 f.b.i. estimates there are at least one hundred thousand child sex slaves in the u.s. and his art is going to 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. just walks away from capitol hill where on the street

that's known as the heart for lobbyists and lawyers in washington that's why day at night this is where spores of prostitutes 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 under-age 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 u.s. prostitution laws do not exam 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 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 sent to jail 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 for some 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 fortunately there isn't federal money for us folks and such as 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 heinous as 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 power for sex trafficked victims are around the country there's. hundred thousand about eighty beds which includes that's it and us and so what they're saying is for their safety we will arrest them and put them in jail. after the case is done for safety 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 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 i look for that when they go to certain employment that pops up in the background check these children is already scarred is it is that 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 scoring their future and i'm going to check our reporting from washington our team. the u.k. . the country's largest gypsy community and a nearby town has come to the travelers who are being told to leave their. won't go

down without a fight and reports of 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 trackless site where one of the biggest evictions in british history is being planned and the councils accused of ethnic cleansing have got four kids living in fear found there has been no protest in year and yes there is no means out of its own says he only had words with 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 it were more guarded i think that everybody should play in their way in the way of rights in texas i don't believe they did the people that live around them know their past prices go down that's the only thing we have to get is a problem that might be some sometimes only without might be a part of rest of us so you know they should be treated as i was a reporter i understand it like but you know yes just not just you know you shouldn't be there an issue of growing trees because it is but others say the lands the travellers built on was scrap yards not green belt and the travel is a big persecuted because of their different way of life it's all or i'm all for protection of the green and i do not think that's. constitutes a stine measure 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. case compared with many states with. whatever the truth battles in council voted overwhelmingly to get the travelers out and a cool sort of backs them up but it won't come cheap with litigation. and what could be a two month long continuous operation. that figure rises to eighteen million including the police operation a staggering twenty nine million dollars a particularly huge sum in austerity britain cuts a big council all over the country the cost of the eviction hasn't deterred the

council though i know of of threats of violence from the travelers battle lines are being drawn here at dale farm the thousand strong community swear bell fights literally if necessary because they've got nowhere else to go and bustling council will match that force with bags of cash and the conviction. best site lure and its artsy battle to excess. if the latest news and feature stories from by logging onto our website. we have for you there right now. you really find out president obama's. promise of change. of conduct for the first year. has run. for.

the people. the british royal wedding is still two weeks away already reached fever pitch from twitter to newspapers there's no getting away from the big day for prince william and kate middleton. new york where reactions are somewhat 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 so of royalty and kings and queens it is just because they're born into a stupid family with the british want it and i can do it but the americans that they should be fascinated. is so ridiculous get a life already america eventually this brings our thoughts for reform source things like in. something like that well in my opinion really we don't need is this good for people to have thoughts away from serious things or is it just that just that is it good it is true because if you always think about the problems you have. 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've ever had been a scone me our prime niece there. takes it all the senior so so 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 call me down no it doesn't matter 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 at hand.

you have hunters chasing aliens on earth are likely to be casting a jealous eye and some in the southern russia what looks like a number of the visitors from space have been caught on camera and eye witnesses of e.t.s. apparent arrival have become local celeb. i should note that the shape of these projectors made us believe that this flying saucer or whatever it was it was or the launch 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 channel to have a car ran a feature story well to sighting and publish 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. files virgin from was up when we shared the video on our website people started copy pasting it so we got responses from at least five other eyewitnesses all over the grass region who also spotted this particular u.f.o.

you follow just say this part of russia's south is like the area rosabelle in new mexico. with visitors but some experts like by deem are skeptical about the sighting many can be explained but not all of them that's not present in our region has a very highly frequency a real extraterrestrial activity always the highest in the whole country and in places like sort cheap 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 self maybe they're getting sneak preview of the sochi olympics. or maybe they're just like the place whatever it is the truth result there somewhere there is a lot ski r.t. cross in the region and in our special report coming up next our crew meets the goddess of the mountains the be

a layer of or in the russia russia's caucasus. they come in cars and. so long to play with. the other one to take her spirit. but she is the geography of the river. is her best. believe. chasing a drug cartel. now take a look at 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 and 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 recedes candidacy for european union membership that will take place in the autumn in response the leader of the most influential opposition party says he'll hold a hunger strike until the requesters match. 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 the regime to arrest people without charges the president televised speech before the cabinet followed of the biggest demonstrations read on friday thousands of protesters were met with tear gas and baton town over 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 of 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 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 saying military. security senior fellow at the center for advanced defense studies anthony shaffer says even though war has turned into a business the u.s. can't afford more military spending having a large committed bureaucracy now in charge of the war there bureaucracy very well and that includes industry who makes money off the contracts that includes those in the power all make a lot of headway with this bureaucracy overseeing this counterinsurgency it allows the power allows in the thrall of money we didn't get or overnight this is been bad

decisions layered on bad decisions which now has made a push to the point where we have a system a rising 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 that the wrong about 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 are we getting any closer to that in a game with the money we're spending it's got to change we don't have money 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 to get a special envoy to afghanistan says that in order to secure peace in this war torn country nato has to also focus on reconstruction this full interview is available on our website dot com but right now here's a quick preview. we don't believe we're in for an occupation because it's

deeds fuels for at least two reasons and i'm going to stay on the. show while fighting for most of the real floral nuisance procedures and leaders i'll go around guns are going to much allergic to any foreign military presence of their country and their independence only end up like many or most or most of the country is also well known to the world. much more sensitive due to recent history. that's why of course we are not we don't believe in a long. time i will start realizing facts but seems these operation started ten years ago. we also don't believe in military solution but we don't believe in middle or social results come and make action star.

what do you mean putin's devotion to judo and skiing have already boosted his popularity among russians and now he's been put on ice the prime minister slipped on his skates to train with some teenage members of the back and i thought in the forty minute session and found that several times and even set up a few goals for others he's only been wanting to skate for the last two months after promising the russian national team earlier this year that he would improve on the skills would confess that he did trusted when he was a boy but compared himself to now on ice hooves that would end up doing this. and i'll be back with a recap of our made stories in just a few moments stay with us right here are today.
