bringing you the top news in the headlines from around the world this is our team live from moscow thanks for joining us fuel prices in that recession hit europe are 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 and you 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 artie's daniel bushell reports europe is likely to pay a high price for that too. 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 then 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 evening north and south stream were already built supply risks in energy prices would be lower. they use refusing to back you russian projects to supply energy it's continuing to insist on diversity of supply we support especially projects which give us access please so since this is. what i can have as an h.r. as a part. have call on other countries in the will the e.u. funds and fast track the gas pipeline from azerbaijan through turkey but not russia's north all sell stream gets nabucco costs much more to build its suppliers have no resources to spare and the logic of building it is even questioned by participants analysts 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 violence in the arab world continues into next month experts tipped fuel prices to double again that's thought feels lower as in particular with trade 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 gobble he doesn't know what's he will do then you will to see brussels on the ground in libya local doctors say that five civilians have been killed in heavy shelling of misrata by a pro-government forces this is the only western city still controlled by the

rebels after more than a month of. nato is being criticized for failing to break the siege of the city by gadhafi troops political researcher marty darrius. says the alliance is prolonging the conflict in libya instead of helping to resolve it. what we're talking about here is the politics of nato and the united states and its role as you 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 and transit what they've been doing is they've been teetering playing a teeter totter they've been helping the rebels they ceasing help helping the rebels and then reducing help they are 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 and the military intervention in libya is an attempt to gain control

of the country's oil wealth and is not at all helping since libyan citizens. whatever power grab more include controlling the resources exploiting the people private enterprise. media i am a little world. structurally. weren't we what we needed mesh weight of. probation ordinary libyans could be no democratic right in being a human being and free education free don't always will be the way to go on parties 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 thinking. that is

a far as alleviate conflict he's concerned have you ever thought actually he's in charge of the western humanitarian bombing in leave yet think about it first what started as a successful framed intelligence coup to give us against the death of this year in february got them a man 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 he's leading their western efforts this solution to really in conflict has

been haplessly lost so far between the d.c. union efforts among and between the united states nato allies at large instead of saving a levy and people they desperately trying to save their faces and their political couriers. that was artie's military contributor going to crucial and coming up in the program russia's pm gets to skate on. the meat of putting gets his moves together and joins a junior team in russia for a practice session. and guests from outer space r.t. goes to russia's most elite visited region to meet the eyewitnesses save through the south plus. this country ran away from rain would be quite so of royalty and kings and queens in the british wanted right can do it but the americans could be

fascinated by this so ridiculous get a life already america has royal wedding fever sweeps the world parties our roving reporter is hard enough to see in new york where for some the sober tory moody's 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 as our she's got an interesting can reports even if they manage to get off the street with 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 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 to 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 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

a fortune 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 we're 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 can a 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 investing their future there's not enough housing for sex trafficking victims and all around the country there's. 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 further safe but they don't get any services and we charge the victim almost all of the victims of child trafficking remember

being constantly raped and abused both spite payments and clients many of the young people that we serve have been incarcerated and charged as an adult under the age of sixteen so they had 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 sparred is 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 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 a head for travelers who are being told to leave their home of decades and say they won't go down without a fight and as our visa reports human dignity is being 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 tale 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 of the four kids live in and they're found there has been no protest in year and yes there is no loneliness so it's all right says william wordsworth travelers 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 poor slandered 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 prophecy valley's down most refused to talk on camera

saying they feared violent retribution those who did were more guarded i think that everybody should be aware 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's the only thing after that is a problem might be some sometimes only going up might be a pause at rest so you know they should be treated like everybody else i understand their plight but you know yes just not just you know you shouldn't be there really shouldn't run just because it is but others say the land the travellers built on was scrapyard not greenbelt and the travellers have been persecuted because of their different way of life so although i'm all for protection of the green belt i do not think that some that particular constitutes she's trying to measure in any way and i agree that there are always people in every community who you know mess up 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. of course you can. face compared with many times in the states with . whatever the truth cancelled and 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 bailiffs and what could be a two month long continuous operation. from . the authorities which. 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 cuts are being made to council funding all over the country the cost of the eviction hasn't deterred the council though and nor have threats of violence from the travellers battle lines are being drawn

here at dale farm the thousand strong communities where bell fights 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. at six. of course you can get the latest news and feature stories from our t.v. by logging on to our web site that's r t dot com here's a look at what's there for you right now. can you really find out president obama's chances of re-election in two thousand and twelve as many americans say they feel betrayed by his promise of change and. conduct their first amounts of the year a sure sign that spring has a rather easy surface. before. we. would sing it and. let's bring. it.

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 kings and queens it is just because they're born into a stupid family if the british want it like and do it but the americans could be. fascinating. it's so ridiculous get a life already eventually does. a force for reform search things like in in japan or something like that. in my opinion really really is it good for people to have thoughts away from serious things or is that just a distraction to this group because if you always think about the problems you have . no you could have in your life when you came to your so do you care about the royal wedding yes a parent that you need. not. because

we have or have been our prime minister that we these it. takes it all the scene still so you have your own big media story. but is it good for our culture or 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 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'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 their hands. you a full hunters chasing aliens or are likely to be casting a jealous sun in southern russia where looks like

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 made progress 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 were strong on defense but i think we 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 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 go. the meet a couple of a career diplomat and president a bit of 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 available on our website or t. dot com but right now here's a quick preview. we don't believe we're in for an
