broadcasting live from our studios in central moscow this is our t.v. thank you for joining us fuel prices in a recession hit europe already at 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 daniel bushell reports europe is likely to pay a high price for that as well. 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 there could be an alternative you see that if north and south stream were already built supply risks in energy prices would be lower. he use refusing to break new russian projects to supply energy is continuing to insist on diversity of supply and we support especially projects access to new source since this is a book. would like to have as a big job as a part. like qatar and other countries in the will. you funds and thaws tracks the gas pipeline from 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 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 train just 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 oil and sunni arab world continues into next month exports to fuel prices to double again that sort feels low and is 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 buy 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 by programming 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 the siege of the city by gadhafi troops political researcher. say the alliance is prolonging the conflict in libya instead of hoping to resolve it. all we're talking about here is the courts except nato and the united states and as well as the e.u. are not about unifying or ending the deadlock what they're doing in live yes 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 playing a teeter totter they've been helping the rebels help helping the rebels and then reducing help people like to divide the country we can 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 at all helping with it's really about a power grab that's what it's all power grab more include controlling the resources exploiting the private enterprise. india i am a world. and structurally. meeting what we did. eat their probation but ordinary libyans can be no democratic by any means but even libyan free education is free don't you know wrong 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 wishful thinking.

that is far as libi a conflict beasts concerned have you ever thought who actually is in charge of the western humanitarian bombing in lead think about it first what started as a successful french intelligence coup to give us against america deathy this year in february god demand to and overtly expanded into the u n a resolution behind the united states and its pale eyes were involved and in full fledged western military operation in libya now who ease charge of their western military effort to leave 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 review and conflict has been help with sleep lost so far between be disunity off efforts among and between the united states and nato allies at large set of saving their levy and people desperately trying to save their faces and their political careers. i was artie's military contributor you've got a crucial and coming up in the program russia's pm gets his skate on. putin gets his moves together and joins from the russian concession. and guests from outer space our team goes to 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 because two of royalty and kings and queens of the british won it and

i can do it but the americans the big prize in a. it's so ridiculous. as royal wedding fever sweeps of the world are these roving reporter laurie harkness is in new york where for some of the seller tony moody is a little more subdued all of 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 according to f.b.i. estimates there are at least one hundred thousand to child sex slaves in the u.s. and as artie's can reports even if they do 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 by day like night this is where swarms of prosecutors flocked to get picked up and killed with 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 treatment the children get when arrested is either jail time or probation in the us prostitution 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 say in 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 i look at the fact that we have we have made detention and

we have made in the criminal justice system 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 for treating the victims and providing for their recovery requires funding and fortunately there is a federal 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 a high. thousand about eighty beds which includes that's it in the u.s. and so what they're saying is for their safety we will of arrest them and put them in jail. for safety but they don't get any services and we charged the

victim almost all of the victims of child trafficking remember being constantly raped and abused both spike came some 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 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 a 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 i'm going to check our reporting from washington our team. in the u.k. between the country's largest gypsy community and a nearby town has come to the travelers who are being told to leave their home

decades so they won't go down without a fight and it's already a war and that reports human dignity is being sacrificed simply can agree sales 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 travel a site where one of the biggest if exceptions in british history is being planned and the councils accused of ethnic cleansing now got four kids living and in france there has been no protest in year and yes there is no loneliness 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 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 fear violent retribution those who did it were more god is i think that everybody should be aware 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 say anything else it's a problem i might be some sometimes only one of my ass because the rest of us so you know they should be treated as everybody else i understand their plight but you know yes just not because you know you shouldn't be there really shouldn't rowntree because it is but others say the lands the travelers built on was scrapyard not greenbelt 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 page constitutes a steinmetz in any way i agree that there are always people in every community who you know mess up things that 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. quite compete. school case compared with many housing estates with . whatever the truth battles in council voted overwhelmingly to get the travellers out and of course a lot 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 course. it could cost up to 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 a big may to council funding all over the country the cost of the eviction hasn't deterred to cancel they are no have threats of violence from the travellers battle

lines are being drawn here at dale farm the thousand strong communities where vale 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 your emmett's o.t. ethics. get the latest news and feature stories from r.t. by logging on to our web site. here's a look 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 mounds of the year and a sure sign that spring has a rough surf earth was there to watch the ceremony for. the let's. go.

to the. people. taking. in the back. of the. board. at. 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. just as in 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 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 i think if the british want it and i can do it with the americans that they would be fascinated. is so ridiculous get a life already america eventually this brings our thoughts for reform source things like in. something like that. in my opinion really really is it good for people to have thoughts away from serious things or is it just a distraction good to distort 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 have a nice a bit of

a scone me our prime minister the way these it. takes it all the seen still so you have your own big media story yes 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 go me down 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 at hand. you have hunters chasing aliens on earth are likely to be casting a jealous of sun in southern russia what looks like
