am in moscow i match reza good to have you with us here on r t our top story barack obama has backtracked on an earlier promise by the cia to deliver proof those of osama bin laden's death despite differences of opinion at the top in the u.s. the president said the images of the al qaeda leader's body will not be released to the public he said he couldn't say further violence and only be used as a propaganda tool but as artie's marine important i reports the whole operation has been riddled with contradictions. then we began with an international news bombshell proudly dropped by the united states there was a female who was in fact in a lot of fire. that reportedly was used as a shield to shield bin laden from the incoming fire by tuesday on the floor under a major back pedal in the room with bin laden a woman in london's one

a woman rather bin laden's wife rushed the u.s. assaulter and was shot in the leg but not killed america grabbed the world's attention after announcing the assassination of osama bin laden failing to get the facts story the u.s. has also facilitated a rapid rise of conspiracy theories what they did is they told a bunch of different stories they took some stuff it's back and they have just the conspiracy of machine if they if they were oil on a fire a blaze that inflamed after failing to deliver on promises of providing the public with proof we are going to do everything we can to make sure that nobody has any basis to try to deny that we got sound in law i don't think there is to really question but ultimately a photograph where would be presented to the public we have no need to publish those photographs to establish what was some of bin laden's guilt us president

barack obama refused to release any visual evidence confirming bin laden's death for fear it would be used to spark anti-american violence critics say this leaves the public with more questions than answers and when they say we don't want to show the photos because we don't want to inflame people well fine how about bringing in certain members of the press along with a panel of unrelated forensic identification experts who can come out and say we've studied this the world was able to study the execution of america's other enemy in two thousand and six when the hanging of saddam hussein went viral on the web. shortly afterwards meanwhile in lodgings expert david c. burial has been the target of conspiracy and u.s. officials say was done in keeping with muslim tradition it was returning to. here is the requirement in islamic law the individual within twenty four hours as many have noted washington broke its own rule when the bodies of saddam hussein's sons
12:04 am
were embalmed and house for eleven days after being killed by u.s. forces but there's so many inconsistency is in all of this that it's incumbent upon the obama administration to be as forthcoming as they can be about exactly what they do and do not know and did or did not know or in this case know what to say before you speak. just one week ago it was brock obama at the center of a two year conspiracy that die down once america's leader released his birth certificate but now obama's actions surrounding the killing of osama bin ladin have paved the way for a whole new set of missing questions surrounding the transparency of the u.s. government very important i.r.c. new york. the u.s. and pakistan have been at each other's throats over the operation bin laden washington a exasperated that is a lot of seemingly had no idea he'd been there for so long pakistan's questioning

government forces with reports several people were killed this comes as the international criminal court announced it's investigating the khadafi regime for possible crimes against humanity as fuels talk of a coalition ground offensive may only be a matter of time or he's got his reports. the u.s. welcomed the international criminal court prosecutors plans to request three arrest warrants for alleged crimes against humanity committed in libya since february fifteenth they hate prosecutor did not specify who these people are but it's known that the international criminal court has been investigating colonel gadhafi some of his sons and aides over what the prosecutor called predetermined plan to attack protesters he said now is the time to start planning on how to implement those possible arrest warrants and that's the interesting part carrying out those arrests will require foreign forces on the ground to actually do that the issue of enforcing any future court warrants is expected to be discussed at the meeting of
12:10 am
the coalition countries in rome on thursday from what we know now coalition forces are really edging towards sending in ground troops the problem is the u.n. resolution that allowed the military into here in order to protect civilians does not allow foreign troops on the ground and the nato spokesperson has recently made it clear that they do want a mandate to send troops they say there is still little sign of progress for either side in the conflict the aerial bombardment of libya has reached a dead end and in order to break the stalemate they need to do that but getting a mandate like that from the u.n. security council will be very difficult considering all the criticism that the nato operations in libya face now for example russia a permanent member of the security council has ever really criticized the needle for going far beyond the u.n. resolution and many are deeply alarmed by the growing number of civilian casualties in libya many analysts believe that any ground operation any ground involvement
12:11 am
will lead to an escalation of the conflict to more violence on the ground but with these recent developments coalition forces could be looking for ways to go around the u.n. resolution that has not allowed the involvement of foreign troops on the ground and some say maybe those international criminal court warrants will provide loop. hart now for more on the possible motives behind the coalition actions here is my colleague laura amyt in london who looks into one motive that's rarely brought up much this. according to some it's about protecting civilians and our resolve is clear the people of libya must be protected but those say it's about oil the only reason they're interested in with libya is about the oil you think we'd be in iraq if their major acts were at there was broccoli but some config intervention in libya is all about courage thief specifically good athlete plans to introduce the goldstein are
12:12 am
a single african currency made from gold's a true sharing of the wealth is one of these things that you have to plan almost in secret because as soon as you say you're going to change over from the dollar to something else or your going to be targeted there were two conferences on this one you know piece it's another one in the issues that we call the world methodical approach organized by good and everybody was interested but i think most countries in africa were clean could ask he didn't give up in the months leading up to the military intervention he called on african and muslim nations to join together to create this new currency that would rival the dollar and euro they would sell oil and other resources around the world only for gold dinos it's an idea that would shift the economic balance of the world's countries wealth which depends on how much they have not how many journalists they trade and libya one hundred forty four
12:13 am
tons of gold the u.k. have total that's but ten times the population if gadhafi had an intent to try to reprice he's a loyal or whatever else the country was selling in the global markets and accept something else as a currency or maybe even. launch of gold in our currency any move such as that would certainly not be welcomed by the pair really today who are responsible for controlling the world's central banks so yes that would certainly be something that would cause his immediate dismissal and the need for other reasons to be brought forth from removing him from power it's happened before in two thousand found out he say amount of roky oil would be traded in euros not dollars sanctions and an invasion salut some say because the americans were desperate to prevent opec from transferring oil trading in all its member countries to the euro goldstein all would have had serious consequences for the world's financial system but may also

help empower the people of africa something black activists say to us wants to avoid at all costs the united states should welcome the self-determination of africans they certainly have to try self-determination to africans inside the united states so we're not surprised by anything that the united states would do to hinder self-determination of africans on the continent the u.k. colby's kept here in a secure boat somewhere in the depths of the bank the big lead has been most developed countries there's not enough to go around but that's not the case in places like libya and many of the gulf states i told dean i would have given oil rich africa non middle eastern countries the power to turn it around so that energy hungry customers and say sorry the price has gone up and we won gold some say the u.s. and its nato allies literally couldn't afford to let that happen you were and that's
12:15 am
how it's he looked at the coalition's intervention in libya has raised questions about the real motives behind musician and water most eager says wars are the business needed to keep nato and our allies afloat. you know if you what i said. and try to examine a period of time when the u.s. and other western allies are not going to war we could not find thirty days in the last thirty years. where there hasn't been a period of military it's complete lies their lives because that's business in libya they talk about democracy but the bottom line is we have to manage these resources at least get through this economy. and popular bluebirds see the challenge there edge of the for minutes but then they come in and talk about humanitarian interventions that it's business anybody who objects run them over militarily. and follow them up with business like.
12:16 am
get authority with most eager in fifteen minutes here on our team. russia and europe are about to open a new chapter in space exploration a russian soyuz rockets moved into position in french guiana as part of an ambitious joint project or he's never going to joins us live now with more on this a lawyer or a star although it's all in place one iraq it won't be rocketing anywhere tell us about that well this is called our dry run so we're not actually going to see the launch itself today but this is the time to test all the systems and all the procedures because sure so use has decades worth of successful exploitation history but this time some things are new from the location to the core go and basically the only thing different during these tests from a real launch is that this. system is not fueled but.
12:17 am
everything else will be done according to the real procedure how it will be done the launch is scheduled. for the end of the summer and it's being done in the coup speech center that infringed on a really close to the equator and so the specialists had to build the more well the tower in order to protect the internal system from the weather conditions because some days in french guiana there's over five hundred millimeters of rain in just a day so they did have to build a facility in order to protect the entire system and also what we're seeing here now these are the elements of the cargo which is which has been put onto the soyuz and that could only be done in
12:18 am
a vertical position whilst. not according to the on the way it's usually done is that the system is put together horizontally then it's rolled out onto the launch pad and set vertically if they're here part of the species was rolled out and then some of the cargo was assembled on it only in the vertical position so these are some new things which have to be checked which have to be worked out and tested especially the procedures because this is a joint project between the russians piece the agency and the european space agency it's a great project but obviously a lot of tests have to be taken in order for it to be successful doing the real launch at the end of the summer and briefly one of the teams hoping to achieve this is great project for both science first of all the european species agency gets to use one of the most reliable species craft in the world the soyuz really does have
12:19 am
a decade's worth of successful launches history and in this time it's actually going to deliver to satellites for the european galileo never gave system an analog . two the american g.p.s. and the russian go on our systems and for russia well it gets to use a launch pad really very cool so the equator which increases the repeal load of the species so it's really a win win situation for both of course always needed is really to work the entire procedure out and do the tests we checked all the systems that to see that it's going to work out fine in the end all right art he is going to thanks for that report. but if you're hungry for more news you can always check out our. expert opinion blog and video clips is what to put away right now. social networking site facebook denies allegations aired on our t.v. that it's used by u.s.
