rift within nato ranks as the u.k. plans to send military advisors to libya which warns it could worsen the conflict. is a conflict on the cards in libya. in just a moment. we are one shy away from a gracious while the world's u.s. backed financial institutions one of the more impending dark times ahead there's concern that america doesn't have enough dollars to sort out. with one in five young italians out of work and few prospects of getting a job we report on how italy is facing a lost generation. because gold prices topped

a record fifteen hundred dollars an ounce for the first time apple on tuesday as investors tend to precious metals hundred inflation or more join business are seen about twenty minutes time. low this is our going to have you with us today well straight to our top story now libya's foreign minister has criticised the u.k.'s plan to send officers so advised rebels on the ground saying it could prolong the fighting britain's foreign minister claims the group doesn't reach the u.n. resolution which forbids sending in ground troops of the more on this from artie's in london. this is opening a whole can of worms isn't it with legality of sending military teams into libya. yeah and you mentioned britain's foreign minister and he has made it very clear

that these are military advisers they are but they're not wearing uniforms according to him and they are organizing rather than training or the rebel forces it's unclear what the difference in his view or indeed in the army between organizing and training is but as you say this does open a whole new level of operation in libya these are people who are that whole new ground as opposed to forces who are increasing the no fly zone and it does the u.k. commitment to a conflict in libya people here on the ground in london are talking about mission creep once more of course we saw this mission move from the no fly zone into directly targeting gadhafi to try to get rid of him and now we are seeing british forces going in to help the rebels in any way that they can and we're also seeing a division between the countries involved in this obviously nato took over the organization of this operation but france's foreign minister has made it very clear

that france does not in visits sending people in on the ground rules that there will be a decision between what the u.k. and what drugs are doing going forward and of course there's a lot of discussion about whether this is against the u.n. security council resolution that authorized the no fly zone in the first place they that the wording about resolution is that they can use any means to protect civilians and now there's a lot of arguments among amongst the antiwar nobody's in amongst the people who didn't want to to help out in libya in the first place about whether this will go against that resolution and of course the libyan foreign minister we've heard him coming said coming out saying this could significantly worse than the situation now i spoke to john baron he's one of only thirteen u.k. m.p.'s against going into libya and he said that if there was a ground operation there would be huge public outcry here in the u.k. let's hear what he. he had to say about ground troops and about the the operation

in libya in general. i think the majority of people in this place who voted for your contention and i respect you. did some assumption about humanitarian aid or and that it happened it's a pursuit of the u.n. resolution ground troops and i think it would really go beyond that resolution it seems becoming apparent is that we now have the no fly zone in effect becoming the force of the rebel fighters and i question whether that was within the spirit of the people solution as it was originally to find. and of course what's happening here with military advisers being sent in does not in any way constitute a ground invasion we should make that very clear but it certainly looks like the door it's slightly wide open now for sending ground troops and it's worth noting also that people here in london are saying that the u.k. government has learned nothing from the conflicts in iraq and afghanistan that it's

going to apply in libya now campbell he's a very prominent liberal democrat politician said sending in the military advisers that the u.s. involvement in vietnam began with this very thing began with the sending in of military advisers looks like this is a new kind of one's opening and this is not the last we're going to be hearing this ok our correspondents reporting live from london there thank you for that. but the u.n. resolution was conceived as a way of safeguarding civilians in libya but british and. believes nato could send in ground troops under the guise of humanitarian protection. we are increasingly and would be in danger of getting into a twilight zone as far as the operation of the rest and already last week we saw the piece calling from david cameron from president sarkozy and president obama which appeared to speak in forked tongue and the one hundred percent were not in

there for regime change in the other hand we're not giving up until we get regime change no you can't say two contradictory russian arse in terms of an operation of this sort of nature you can't say that you're going on under strict parents that won't commit the growing troops but then you end up getting sucked in and committing troops in various forms and gazes after so many misadventures including iraq and elsewhere people want to know that there isn't going to be mission creep here that we have people going on on one promise on one pretext but then ready to expand the mission into all sorts of other operations from so i think we need the u.n. security council to look afraid because after all as a resolution of the security council all the actions taken under this resolution are meant to be reported to the security council to let an assessment be made at that level of the deadlock in fighting in their view is increasingly making native

americans restless enough to want to boost their presence but it's not the only country in american sights we can leak speculations say the us has been secretly financing the opposition in syria countries to the right protests human rights campaigners say more than two hundred people died in the from downs syrian president was lifting decades of state of the vengeance and to try and get the test is to end their calls for him to go to some analysts washington's back to the opposition's further evidence of why the push to the east and activision. it goes way beyond libya in fact i'm working on a story at the moment fixing the pentagon against china this is the big story in africa for the next fifty years i would say it starts in the beginning of the two thousand and two region of the african union after it was very important and in this mechanism it was a mechanism to give

a political price to africa in that in terms of unified africa in terms of political decisions and not in all of course economic integration with china start investing much more than it was investing during the ninety nine is there over africa you know at least thirty countries and we have more than nine hundred projects all over africa and then came the reaction from the pentagon two thousand and seven two thousand and eight would be african command which has just launched its first african where there will be launched a time about three weeks ago against i guess tripoli basically so now this is the chessboard it's the better gunfire at african against chinese investments and in the middle. i would say at least fifty african governments and they are scrambling to see ok what's going to go down. but still ahead for you this hour despite claims of social benefits many georgians running it hard to make ends meet insisting

they're getting new government assistance. plus a power struggle of a different kind and take a look at the fuel source and of course the next big thing but not everyone is convinced. global finance chiefs of warning that swift action is needed to escape a new wave of economic crisis countries right into financial trouble they usually turn to international monetary fund and the world bank and supplementary backed by the u.s. it has a point explains the numbers are running out fast. and annual spring gathering about the world economy produced a dreadful financial forecast we are one shock away from a full grown crisis critics say through the establishment of the international monetary fund and world bank america has positioned itself as an economic dr to the world using the institutions to retain global domination and fulfill the business

interests of large corporations craving resources belonging to cash strapped countries what they do they very often pressured governments to what we call prosecco the economy is weaker than recession and they want them to cut spending or raise taxes that can be very very dangerous i mean you could slip back into reserve makers such a war i tell all too familiar to write in america the middle east. and most recently greece. where tens of thousands stormed the streets protesting austerity measures public spending cuts and tax hikes. as the largest financial contributor washington also wields the largest voting power at the i.m.f. we furnish the i.m.f. it is run program by the u.s. predator department with some input from the european project that right there tells you most of the problem this is supposed to know one hundred eighty something

countries and it's run by just a handful or maybe just one and american has always served as president of the world day since its creation in one nine hundred forty four but now with its own backyard in disarray america is hardly in a position to hand out financial advice to others in two thousand and eleven america's financial management is best defined by a nonstop borrowing binge seat of the talk over there it's a running ticker of u.s. debt which has surpassed a ceiling of fourteen points. three trillion dollars now the u.s. may want to consider investing in a bigger clock if you were digits on the display problem so bad the us president can't ignore it and the government can't seem to solve it we have to live within our means we have to reduce our deficit republicans have refused to support measures such as raising taxes on the rich or cutting defense spending we're

approaching arsenal that on a par with the total g.d.p. of the country this is very serious because most economic research suggests that countries tend to decelerate in their growth and have more and more severe economic problems once the debt to g.d.p. ratio gets above about ninety percent and we're about to go through that level all eyes are now on the nation that sets the bar for others to see if it clean up its own bad debts at home. r.t. new york. but on the other side of the atlantic it's the future generation which is feeling the force of economic hardship it's a these young people face a bleak future billions of them are unemployed of the country i think is to prevent itself suffering the same fate as greece and i want to go to school for force from rome. for over a year now element has been trying to find a decent job but displaying having a degree in linguistics and fluently speaking german french and spanish the only words she's been able to find were short term gates illness says hiring interns is

simply cheaper for companies well many of those with a higher education are left behind and. if it doesn't improve it i don't see how it can the only way to find a job is to look for it bright and tired of looking for it here i'm ready to leave . but while many can't find a job this guy doesn't even want to start looking for a name he is twenty five but still lives with his parents who cover all his expenses we king of after may be venting his guitar and video games to him illness problems are as unfamiliar as a job application moment passion and nobody work is boring and neither do i care about politics or the economy this is a free country and everyone can do whatever they want somebody to mr. he believes national statistics agency can can use that one in five young people in the country

is either unemployed or not steady that's over two million people so many on able to find long term work and some not wanting a job at all the statistics are quite grim to such an extent today's youth and it only has been dubbed the last generation something totally incomprehensible to their elders. to learn to spend his whole life working at a post office now in retirement he says that back in his day it was much easier to find a job and thinks the current situation is absurd doesn't pertain to youth as what life is therefore it doesn't matter why they don't want to work what's important is that the government has to do something to provide work and make the. interesting that nobody in the here look into the central banking system the entire economy is in need of a major legislative overfull especially since the young italians who do good work are earning proportionally less than those during the one nine hundred eighty s.

and production output is in decline for one of the world's eight biggest industrialized nations the last thing it needs is a future generation that's floundering while finding a job or flunking out together you got the skin of the room. but if you had karate dot com to get more lost stories are plenty more videos and analysis for you to hear his thoughts online today a pastor in the failings of spoke out against russia's most wanted terrorist has been defrocked accused of inciting with just hatred of being interviewed on t.v. and stories online. plus the russian businessman held in new york on charges gets new lawyers who convince they can get him out of america. georgists or thora his claim the fight against poverty is one of its top priorities but foreign help doesn't appear to making

a dent in the deep desperation suffered by many georgians as caterina's are reports the money is not getting to the people that should be helping. this small sunni country of georgia has long been known for its fresh organic rogers recently it seems the fruit of georgia's economy has been rotting away. people come to the market and don't buy anything because they can't afford it out of both of those here only the i knew them potatoes a local everything else isn't poured from greece and turkey and iran and it's so overpriced we stay here anyway because we have to try and sell something so we can eat. it yvonne knows all about having nothing to eat she hasn't even been able to afford apples were. handicapped daughter too expensive the other money i have no home no job no money and no social support all i can do is sit outside a church and beg my sick child the only money we get is my pension around thirty us

dollars a month and miriam's pension are together it comes out to about seventy five dollars a month with that we have to pay the bills and buy medicine from the area which is impossible but young has cerebral palsy and is in desperate need of surgery it can only be performed in germany her family has no hope of raising the money other me on the on the she's already had eight operations and it's five more but i've almost lost hope i even went to a charity t.v. show but it turned you down. get it done and her family live well below the poverty line and in this they're not alone. four. percent of. the percent of the population it's the borderline. of fifty four percent of the. sixty percent people wishing for the georgian government has

a growing social welfare system that includes cash benefits free or low cost health insurance pensions and souters for daycare the social benefits are aimed at the poorest of the poor however a two thousand and nine world bank poverty assessment showed that only thirty percent of those citizens actually received cash assistance and it seems qualifications don't help either. as a professional singer and in these tough times. as all she and her daughter have. put the only real music to their ears would be an offer of help something neither has much faith they'll hear any time soon. government is claiming that it's doing everything possible in the current financial climate to help its people born your children's clearly have no money for even the basics like food medicine and living like this it's clear that the poverty line is very evident in the heart of the georgian capital. kashmir those are the r.t.e.

georgia. but now some of the international stories making headlines this hour. the u.s. soldier accused of passing thousands of state secrets to wiki leaks is to be moved to a new prison for the past ten months bradley manning has been held at a marine base in virginia the president's decision to move him to a base in cannes this comes after growing international criticism that he's being held in conditions which amounts to torture. former cuban leader fidel castro made an unexpected appearance of a communist party congress alongside whether he was the current president was the first time that appeared together since the hundred years ago it's those it was a show of support for the major changes which are announced for restaurants are being questioned the leadership of cuba's communist party and the start of the brothers you know. a plane carrying america's first lady are two words it's

lending well to getting too close to a military cargo jet aircraft came within five condolences of each other instead of the permitted me to hate the show obama's plane eventually landed safely but had to circle the air base on a cargo direct and clear the runway for consumers on air traffic control is once again a service has come under considerable pressure since information is that some controllers slept on the job. well as the world's thirst for energy grows it's full speed ahead for the u.s. developing its shale gas deposits up to now it's been considered to be a green energy source but some research is now think it could actually be a cause of serious environmental and health problems. it's cheap it's readily available and it's made in the united states washington has hailed shale gas as the next big thing in energy development or the past five years the u.s. has invested billions of dollars into the field bringing cheap energy to consumers

still deposits lie deep underground and unlike natural gas shield is widely available in the u.s. which means the country doesn't have to pay for imports go out for a shell revolution stems from high gas prices the main question right now is how will the shale gas industry survive now that gas prices are one hundred two hundred fifty dollars a barrel which is four times less than they were five years ago when shell development began. this tight that european countries are also looking at potential shale gas resources on their territory albeit with some hesitation brights now it's more holds then facts and we have really to think realistically about this source of energy we don't want to think in terms of cause in russia like america have thought another potential plus of shale of course is stopping

countries dependence on russia which the close most of europe with natural gas really already saying that if shale deposits are found in europe most school will lose the advantage of supplying gas to other countries what the inhabitants of the gas from tower don't seem to be losing any sleep over the supposedly gripers here's why. we're watching the situation and we think that locally it's very viable but it will remain a local gas supply it's impossible to extra gas at a loss alone and if you look at the shale gas suppliers right now you'll see that most of them are losing money borger shale gas that may be easily available but its development. does not come cheap. you order to get shale gas you must drill horizontally incessantly and that means the profit margin of the process gets lost very fast. and though the evolver ministration has hailed shale as an

environmentally friendly old friend of the natural gas a recent studies have put this on the question several scandals have already broken out in the us because of the thanks of shale gas development only environment and people's health care bout with the board as well so chill gas is extracted by hydro fracking that means special chemicals around into the water to break up the rock formations the components of these chemicals are kept secret by the companies in the united states who claim it's a commercial secret put dark water laced with chemicals ends up in drinking water so shell gas development poses a serious threat to the environment and health care in the united states may have a gun russian gas production two years ago but like any seeming miracle cure shale gas mead proved yet another falls and the injuries economy. more scope. for a few minutes time a story of farmers struggles against producers of genetically modified plants. has

the business. thanks carrie hello and welcome to business update thanks for joining us russia's prime minister is confident the country's economy will completely recover from the global crisis by twenty twelve reputedly gave the forecasts during his annual economic report to parliament the pace of economic growth in the country totaled four percent last year the highest among the g eight countries but the message is that in order to prop objectively russia needs to normalize its economy and boost foreign investment but until the mid seventy's that modernizations on the right of those two works because to bring high quality capital. we'll create a special fund aimed at attracting foreign investment into russia creating joint projects will spend two billion dollars some additional budgets to creators including three hundred fifty million from oil and gas revenues we expect that in

line with an improving investment climate and reducing barriers for strategic industries that will significantly boost the investment inflow our aim is to reach sixty to seventy billion dollars of foreign direct investment a year. japan exports from march for the first time in sixteen years by two point two percent is one of the first ever show results following the earthquake and tsunami disaster the country's trade surplus also fell it's dropped nearly eighty percent to two point four billion dollars which is three times lower than previously expected and let's see bleak prospects with recession and contraction in the japanese economy continuing in the coming months. gold futures have advanced a new all time record topping fifteen hundred dollars an ounce mark more by inflation and that concerns our own string precious metals which investors turn to best topping themselves silver is trading about fifty four dollars per ounce its highest level in three decades. oil continues to recover from his losses prices

dropped sharply at the beginning of the week as a consequence of the news of america's credit rating brant crude is currently trading at around two hundred twenty two dollars per barrel by light sweet as around a hundred nine dollars per barrel and that's having to get the markets now european stocks i gave you this hour both the fitzy on the docks are up around two percent with shares in common a crappy short drive big three point five percent actually reported at ten percent rise in its first quarter revenue. they were here in russia the r.t.s. and my six trading in the black the are shares is currently more than one and a half percent up with the energy sector leading the growth. and let's have a look at some individual share movies on the minus six so energy majors are among the main gain is the sign as oil prices continue to grow well snuff is up more than one and a half percent this hour and precious metals producers are also on the rise with palmetto up one point two percent. of the tree so the control for russia's

third biggest mobile phone looks to be over all tomorrow which is part of russia's out the group plans to dissolve the construction deal with norway's tellen or office as it's known. on that property after the mill perkins merger with egypt's iran's column was sealed ten are opposed to you and so it stayed in the bay line operates a truck to twenty five percent less entry but don't have a grasp on buying these all shareholders could benefit each other and the reason behind it is that the probably decided to drill in or at this particular moment is not the best partner for their interests and business group with care says default but i'm pretty much sure that we can work together for every little problem and very successfully they should be very much value to each other because we have different qualities in the way that they both united are very strong good and positive for the company for the picking the pavement for political problems the

other thing is the full we look will lose in terms of their business thinking chords debates and everything to go and so forth and he's very sure that i was never loses but yet again with some always something happens first from that result his business update more next hour underscores you can always log on to a website that's not a dot com slash business. we

have seen the damage it has done to our environment more families both would prefer props we do not want any more new g.m.o. foods. of course estimates because there was abysmal experience and i'm just just appalled that that's allowed to go on america. we are getting this unfortunately because we don't know what's in it there's no labeling there for it being used they come aboard to experiment to be used as guinea pigs. oh now we have more questions than we have answers to guards. like.
