much stronger a no holds barred look at the global financial headlines tune in to congress report . tonight on r.t. nato allies agreed to send a military team to advise the libyan rebels despite warnings and strong opposition from libya's government. and he says the actions that britain france and italy will prolong fighting and destroy any chance of peace more reactions from me just a moment. also as the world bank warns of a new crisis finance experts say it's time for america to step back from the dominant role in the global economy and progress instead of reducing its own colossal debt. plus with more than half the population living below the poverty

line many georgians are finding it hard to put food on the table right now claiming government money just doesn't reach them. and in business news a global rally all round stock markets are growing oil is on the rise gold has breached the fifteen hundred dollars mark find out more in twenty minutes time. this is our team is kevin i would welcome if you just joined us it's no nine pm here in moscow where the top story tonight france has promised to intensify air strikes in libya at the request of the opposition comes as nato allies are getting ready to said military officers to the war torn country to advise rebels on how to break the stalemate with pro get off the forces and get the latest reaction to this news tonight also more amateur for us well either so the u.n. resolutions allowed foreign forces to enforce a no fly zone over libya many arguing though the latest move by the allies goes

against their initial mandate doesn't it what reaction we're getting from london tonight. well people are talking about these military advisers we've obviously heard that the u.k. france and now it's early as well are going to be sending what they're calling military advisers senior army officers who are going to libya we understand that there are going to be around ten guys this from each country numbers not exactly clear what they are going to be on apparently in order to protect themselves but they're currently not going to wear uniforms and they are virtually all the nice the rebels apparently according to foreign secretary william hague and not to train or to own them hague says that they're going to be performing they are going to be helping the rebels to aids their intelligence gathering also to improve their logistics and to improve their communications facilities along with this we've heard the foreign ministers of its leader and france reiterated they've got no intention on the back of this old sending in ground troops but nevertheless this

still significantly not the contributions of only three countries in this intervention in libya and of course what we're hearing from the antiwar lobby and from those members of parliament and the people who work for intervention in the first place is that this is the most significant move us towards sending in ground troops into libya which is something that the these governments have said that they are not going to do but this is been a day quite apart from really are paying the contribution of various nato members into the intervention in libya sarkozy as you mentioned the president of france he promised the rebels that he would increase the intensity of the airstrikes that france is performing and also we see now the united states pledged twenty five million dollars in aid to the rebels now that they say is not the weapons but it's to be spent on vehicles and medical and communications equipment a lot of what reactions were tripling of them towards. well tripoli obviously is

not pleased that the libyan foreign minister said that this could worsen the situation and significantly prolong the fighting there by putting any kind of peace deal significantly in further into the future he said that it would be encouraged defiance in the rebels that they would perceive themselves to be getting much more support from nato than they previously been getting which would make and keep on fighting for longer and he says this is a clear violation of the u.n. security council resolution that only allows for the protection of civilians in libya we've also seen division inside the u.k. parliament people are calling this mission creep they're saying also that it was outside the bounds of the u.n. security council resolution and that it contributes massively to the ultimate worry that ground troops will be sent into libya they're comparing this situation with afghanistan saying it could turn into another afghanistan where of course british forces have been involved there for ten years and counting and also the u.k. has learned nothing from iraq or afghanistan that they're applying to this conflict

and in fact a prominent liberal democrat politician has gone one step further in this talking about vietnam he says that the first step that the u.s. took before it went into vietnam and got so employer there was just this to send in military advisers. correspondent. for a moment the germans from the stop the war coalition she joins us from zero to discuss the later actions in libya but since we were the sort of programs appreciate it or not i believe it was you see it is the play by the true advisors now to the rebels so quarters are guarding them. well i don't think you can see it as a legal move clearly goes well beyond the pounds of u.n. resolution one hundred seventy three we were told explicitly a month because this would not happen we were told would not be troops on the ground we were told that this would be simply no fly zone to help

civilians we now have more indication that the british and french governments in particular the united states are really going for something more substantial and they had the articles in the papers last week which said really you have to be regime change this again is not it's not. a u.n. resolution one hundred seventy three so i think it's very very serious development people talking about military creepers they're putting in there's a view is no they're sending military advisors to libya is it's not just the first step in launching a ground operation how likely is that though given that so many of the nato allies have indeed spoken out against it. well i'll this is a problem for the british and the french in particular because it's clear they have very few allies when it comes to actually doing anything illegal i think you're right this is a form of mr craig they will send these people in there will be more and more

incidents they were through and more and more truth this is what happened with me it's a very common development if you look at it if you look at the ways in which was which was developed and i think we have to be very very much opposed to it is no good having a whole series of governments around the world. this development if nothing happens if they are allowed to continue with this because it is our only irresponsible action it is designed to to escalate the war and we certainly in this country will be doing everything that we can to to oppose it and to people's attention to a number of employees of already criticizing coleman is a moment in recess in terms of his time and there will be people making. making speeches complaining about this particular development but in general we need to we need to mobilize public opinion much more widely linsey

taking into account the lack of support you're talking about can you try to describe why britain is so still be involved and push this further and it's already cutting these defense budget. well well i think many people in britain are absolutely astonished that cameron tells everybody here we don't have money for school. libraries but these cruise missiles are costing one million u.s. dollars each so you thought. the war is costing millions and millions of pounds a day the reason the money the truth is the british do not have the money to embark on yet another. afghans. i think. they feel they have to. they want to maintain a place of. their own prestige over this i think both parents are close in

different ways are interested in this they also want to rehabilitate humanitarian intervention which has been so discredited a recent. interview humanitarian intervention and i think. in addition to this they are scared to the whole process that we saw earlier this year in the middle east particularly in egypt until his ear will go out of their control in libya as a means of research a. western control in arab and african sun is the result. is always going to go off with this latest news been criticised by aaa the senate decision to send international pushes the two sides even further away from any possible agreement after two months of clashes ten thousand killed are likely is it that peace can be reached is there any any value in this latest train of thought i guess from most of the nato allies that the short term pain is going to bring you so gay. well we've

heard this so many times before we over afghanistan over over iraq you know you just have to put up with these wars because they will print very rapid gain they have and they've they've they were very there are now you have libyans. in the media here saying we'd like western intervention we had exactly the same as this with afghanistan or iraq very few people now would defend these these wars and these these occupations and believe me if britain and france go into another war like this if they do. invite a country which already seems that they are going to do this a huge political and military problem for them i don't believe they're in a position on their own really to really win here but more importantly already we see a very beginning with the only was a relatively popular. among the population as a whole we're seeing

a very right level of discontent. speak the moment crisis as you said that people feel why should we suffer economic paid way too seems to be limitless money for these were also all of these things will come together in germany to stop all coalition joining us on the program from london tonight thank you for being on our t.v. thank you very much. but we will know what you think about france italy and new cases military advisors to libya let us know what you think on facebook opinion poll you can leave your comments there you also found the latest videos at facebook dot com slash our team. if.

the head of the program we report on the despair of lost hope in the caucuses. i have no high no chance no money and no social security all i can do is financed it church and i can feed my sick child impoverished children spent their fear of their government which they claim isn't helping me get by despotic despite promises of a better welfare system got report coming up for you. now though global finance ministers are demanding urgent action to avert another devastating economic crisis the world bank and the i.m.f. driven primarily by the us are usually the first port of call for ailing nations looking for financial support but it artie's run a port nigher explains next washington is in no position to advise others while it struggles to cut its own huge deficit. and you will spring gathering about the world economy produced a dreadful financial forecast we are one shot away from

a food 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 contracts what they do is they very often pressure governments to what we call pro-cyclical the economy is weaker in recession and they want them to cut spending or raise taxes that can be very very dangerous could slip back into a recession or high tail all too familiar to right 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. the furn of the i.m.f. it is run program by the u.s. treasury department and with some input from the european project that right there tells you most of the problem this is supposed to you know hundred something countries and it's run by just a handful or maybe just one and american has always served as president of the world bank 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 up top 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 with

a few more digits on the display of problems so that the u.s. 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. or nine r.t. new york the u.s. soldier accused of passing thousands of secret government documents to wiki leaks is to be transferred to a new prison bradley manning had been held at the marine base in the u.s. state of virginia for the past ten months in conditions that the supporters claim

amounts to torture professor lawrence davidson says that washington's trying to make an example of manning to serve as a warning to others. u.s. government probably has already achieved its out objectives in this case i mean they've treated him so harshly and so severely denying him his basic rights really both legally and in terms of human rights and that the warning is out that the message is out there anybody else out there who who wants to do this using a u.s. citizen and wants to to be this kind of informant insulin is going to be treated in a most harsh way his and his or her life will be ruined just like manning's life is the agreement they will keep him and they will deal with him very harshly and it kills he is an example for others not to do this the u.s. government is going out there are many of his supporters of wiki leaks or both the

people who work who work for it and also the people who give them money and so it's a general sort of white net that they're throwing you don't see much in the media but they're caught they're caught under constant investigation and surveillance a lot of these people and so they're very nervous and many of them any good in europe are afraid to come back here into the united states. says it's doing all it can to help people through hard economic times right now but not everyone is fighting the government support thousands live below the poverty line struggling to afford to put food on the table these kathleen as are other reports from tbilisi. the small sunny country of georgia has long been known for its fresh organic rodger's recently it seems the fruit of georgia's economy has been rotting away the

a professional singer and in these tough times easy is all she and her daughter have. but the only real music to their ears would be an offer of help something neither has much faith they'll hear any time soon. the government is claiming that it's doing everything possible in the current financial climate to help its people born in order which is claiming they 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 georgian capital. cashiers are the georgian. health around the world tonight there's renewed violence in yemen in separate incidents in anti-government protest was killed by motorbike gunmen and then a policeman died in clashes there comes a day after security forces opened fire on demonstrators in the capital sanaa killing at least five victims died of gunshot wounds and nine others are in

business with me the mission of the day it was good to have you company prime minister has been outlining russia's twelve month economic record parliament with a clear push to boost the country's output from modernization and by attracting foreign money. has been listening to what the prime minister has been saying. well it was all about standing up and setting goals during russia's prime minister's annual address to the country's law makers last year prime minister putin has promised that his government is going to do everything it can just beat out the process while the recovery of russian economy from a global financial crisis and here's some figures for you on that as russia's g.d.p. grew four percent in two thousand and ten that's more than in any order of the g eight countries and the forecast for this year's growth at least four point two percent of the best for the calls the prime minister has said to the russian government and parliaments was indeed increasing foreign capital into the country up to sixteen seventeen billion u.s.

dollars a year prime minister pretty stressed the need to diversify russian economy from oil and gas sector is bought so judging by the figures that he's presented today indeed russia has recovered from the global economic crisis with much less certain losses than many experts contradicted. most of the markets now and while it's continuing to recover from the losses this week prices dropped sharply on monday as a consequence of news of america's credit rating out the downgrade of brant crude. and twenty three fifty lights we just below one hundred eleven dollars about that we did see prices go higher than that. gold futures did advance to all time highs today of more than fifteen hundred dollars per choice as a slight decrease right now but silver is still up almost three quarters of a percent forty four dollars that's a the highest level or three decades worldwide ablation and that concerns of austrian precious metals which investors turns around there's turbulence elsewhere

democrats in form of oak and gold says the word trend will continue for gold. obviously when you look on the screen you see nominal prices and normal prices are what we pay them every day basis for tomatoes or apples or whole so the nominal price of gold is going up however the real issue. if you want to preserve the purchasing power of your money today you want to make sure that that purchasing power you have years out ten years or five years out or whatever you want to find the absolute store of wealth and that's the traditional function of gold in of course what we're seeing right now is basically gold telling the world that the dollar the value of the dollar is falling. so the stock markets now and u.s. stocks up positive and upbeat forecasts from intel with higher sales results the company's stock is very positive up six percent also better than expected home sales there is boosting investor confidence. european stocks up also gaining in a very nice day session down there put sandbags are up more than two percent at the

close almost free for the dax persia oh just four point seven percent at the close off reported a ten percent rise in the first quarter revenue. here in russia the markets saw a second consecutive positive session on wednesday on a global positive picture and rising oil prices we look at some of the main gate as you will see that its role snapped up one point seven percent gazprom two point one energy mages there on the high oil prices precious metal producers were also on the rise paul is gold up four point three percent as a reported output and revenue up sixteen percent in the first quarter. a year these moves towards their rebound from a sharp sword or for the. outlook don't greet off the us that from rice and peas. and actually can be we will see in the continued continuation of this revolves mostly on the back of good results of the u.s. coming from the slopes. for the first quarter. for we in the s. and p.

futures prices so the oil and there should be so short covering in the russian market was taking place to be the major we know it was good for the oil companies one across there we sure was supported by the fact that the management will be doing the share buyback it wasn't with the reason but it was because for four months coming up next on our c. their lines we've kept in business our team will be back next hour with an update to stay with us. the.
