that will take its will to leave the russian gas from russia to delhi directly of course in such transit countries as the brain that's my little son born business the principle that's. one pm in moscow i match reza good to have you with us here on r t our top story president barack obama has backtracked on an earlier promise by the cia to deliver proof 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 corpse were not be released to the public he said it couldn't cite further violence and be used as a propaganda tool but authorities marina porton i reports the operation has been riddled with contradictions. the week began with an international news bombshell proudly dropped by the united states there was a female who was in fact is
5:02 am
a lot of fire. that reportedly was used as a shield to shield bin laden from the incoming fire by tuesday a big blunder a major backpedaling in a room with bin laden a woman in lardons 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 yet 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 back and they've just said the conspiracy machine they've ordered all on a prior blaze that inflamed after failing to deliver on promises of providing the public with proof we're going to do everything we can to make sure that nobody has any basis to try to deny that we got osama bin laden i don't think there was any

question but ultimately for the graph for would be presented to the public we have no need to publish those photographs to establish that was some of bin laden was killed us president barack obama refused to release any visual evidence confirming than lott and staff 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 will find out 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 bin laden's expedited sea burial has been the target of conspiracy and acts u.s.
5:04 am
officials say was done in keeping with muslim tradition. here is the requirement in islamic law that the individual within twenty four hours as many have noted washington broke its own rule when the bodies of saddam hussein's sons were embalmed and held for eleven days after being killed by u.s. forces 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 and did not know or in this case know what to say before you speak and not 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 thoughts but now obama's actions surrounding the killing of osama bin ladin have paved the way for a whole new set of myths and questions surrounding the transparency the u.s.
5:05 am
government very important i.r.c. new york. u.s. and pakistan have at each other's throats over the operation that wiped out bin ladin washington's exasperated islam a bad seeming we had no idea he'd been in the country first so we're wrong or pakistan has questioned the legality of the secret seal team mission on its soil or he's more if an ocean explores whether life for the people in the region is going to change now to washington has eliminated its main terror target. back of summer staff couldn't have candidate better time u.s. and pakistani relations are going through their worst period since nine eleven the reasons behind it predator drones and private contractors i ran a cia agent shows two pakistanis dad and rode a light early this year officials in islamabad said it was the final straw and demanded all american operatives leave the country immediately probably doubly sure rather the president's order be in the interest of part of

a guest in the interest of. national why not western pakistan just one week before unkind as leader was killed an empty u.s. drone demonstration united's hundreds of protesters furious that another twenty five people were killed and it's trying to take in the total number of civilian deaths into the handiest i thank you karim han lost his son and a brother in a two thousand and nine attack the german operate and miles away from here pushed the button when it was night in pakistan and careens how family was sleeping. how you were a real and may may may may or meant. sure. there are these. will go to the left but this time and for good comes with many people sharing this opinion pakistani officials are warning the us is huge in insurgency rather than killing the whole more than they help because of the group damages their garage or
5:07 am
duties of the civilians in the area america's reaction has been varied the white house first accused pakistan of not doing enough to counter terror before the us changed its tactics finally addressing pakistan's calls to acts is america's trend to acknowledging that despite signs of a peace offering and american sentiment has continued rising u.s. plans to extend its military presence in pakistan and ensure its dominance in the region after its troops withdrew from the stand seem to have collapsed as he comes the trump card the united states has conducted an operation that killed osama bin laden and he's about bin laden's demise just like us germans came out of the blue delivering a direct hit on you ask treaty x. let me say marriage this victory will hardly change the life of the ordinary people here in a country that's been in the mails to fact by the global war on terror since regime

in pakistan was the first to the lead of the times in two thousand and ninety six and this was such an occasion that is taking it. easy ability that he needed population to live life really quite tranquil as you can see he was not going about their daily lives that we have general that that's going to turn the corner the way from here and with antennas all around us he's a very fragile part of our you know. the country's army has always been alert but now more than ever. many fear the death of a summit in london will spark a backlash and then danger to peace that has been achieved refinish not t. his tongue. the u.s. says the operation against bin laden was a kill or capture mission journalist afshin rattansi though says taking him alive
5:09 am
may have opened up the floodgate of information that the u.s. would rather keep hidden. they obviously didn't want the american revelations of how the united states basically created bin laden it's created so many islam it's as it's funded so many islam is around the world what's so terrible is how the american population are being lied to about how that exactly went on so when you saw his chance of usa around ground zero i think very few people seem to understand that bin laden was a creation of america is that the nations as we've known usually don't make the world a safer place and i think we do have to be on god but we mustn't allow the united states we just are all created this al qaeda operation through its foreign policies to make it even less a safer place because of what happened is as iran said you know this this alien forces in iraq in afghanistan all around the world that is what makes the world less stable and let's hope washington it's
5:10 am
a full on no probably realize more isolationist policy would be better for all of us stay with us here on r t coming your way shortly what's in store for the poor in portugal as the country gets ready for a billion dollar bailout we explore how it would be next to fall into the new bureaucracy. bars the taps are blowing us haneke in russia find out what was masquerading as an alien invasion above the euro that's also coming up. first though a ship evacuating people from the besieged libyan city of misrata has come under rocket attack from cut off you forces with reports of several deaths there says the hague court announced it's investigating possible crimes against humanity there with the libyan opposition calling for more financial support there is growing speculation about the motives of the coalition's humanitarian intervention as our correspondents report. the u.s. welcomed the international criminal court prosecutor's plans to request
5:11 am
a three hour arrest warrants for alleged crimes against humanity committed since february fifteenth behaved prosecutors did not specify who these three 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 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 interference in order to protect civilians does not allow foreign troops on the ground many analysts believe that any ground operation any ground involvement will lead to an escalation of the conflict or more
5:12 am
violence on the ground but with these recent developments coalition forces could be looking for ways to go around the u.n. resolution and some say maybe those international criminal court warrants will provide part 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. according to some it's about protecting civilians we must not tolerate this regime using military force against its own people but those say it's about oil the only reason. the your oil you'd think we'd be in iraq if the big board there was broccoli but some are considered state to venture libya is full of out currency specifically can se plans to introduce the goldstein on a single. african currency made from gold the true sharing of the wealth is one of
5:13 am
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 are you going to be targeted go to conferences of this. ninety six and another one in the queues are being called the world much of a conference organized by get up and everybody was interested but i think most countries in africa are came exactly 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. it's an idea that would shift the economic balance of the world's countries wealth would depend on how much gold they have not how many dollars they trade and libya has one hundred forty four tons of gold the u.k. has double that but ten times the population if gadhafi had an intent to try to
5:14 am
reprice his royal or whatever else the country was selling in the global markets and accept something else as a currency or maybe launch of gold in our currency any moves such as that would certainly not be welcomed by the farrelly 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 a graph forth from removing him from power it's happened before in two thousand set up he say announced iraqi oil would be traded in euros not dollars sanctions and an invasion followed some say because the americans were desperate to prevent opec from transferring oil trading in all its member countries to the euro the u.k. gold it kept in a secure boat somewhere in the depths of the bank a big lead added 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 had told the
5:15 am
da would have given her will rates for ten on middle eastern countries the power to turn it around so that it see hungry customers and they worry that price is going up and we were told some say the u.s. and its nato allies literally couldn't afford to let that happen you know and it's hot seat now that. nato says financing the rebels in libya would help protect civilians there with the mission could be discussed at the coalition's special meeting in rome later today for more on this i'm joined by charles glass an author and journalist joining us live from us whatsoever very good to speak with you so the libyan opposition is running out of money and it's thought that at the. family you could have billions of dollars squirreled away in hidden funds and secret bank accounts the nato secretary general anders rasmussen says he supports the idea of redistributing that wealth do you think a robin hood policy so to speak is the right thing to do well i think i'd be more impressed if they decided to redistribute the wealth from. the nato nations
5:16 am
themselves and their populations to the economy that money belongs to the libyan people and there's a civil war going on in libya and it means not you fear to distribute money to one side or the other might be better to preserve that money some when the war is over and the country needs to be rebuilt it can go to benefit all of the people not just some of the nato says financing the rebels will protect civilians but what that also means financing possibly a broader conflict it will certainly escalate the conflict as we remember from the united states. we in the saudi arabians financing the majority are not going to stand against the soviets raised the stakes and increase the numbers of casualties military forces are very blunt instrument you can't guarantee what will happen like you can probably based on the history of every war we've ever seen here and see that a lot more people will be killed as. our improved supplying weapons would
5:17 am
go against the current u.n. resolution but can nato really direct what the money is spent on. well if they give it to the transitional national council in libya who are fighting a war against gadhafi surely they're going to go to international arms merchants and it will be on the black market in buy weapons just as good off it was will do to replenish ism stocks or maybe a great goldmine for the arms dealers but probably not very good for that and the other coalition is claiming that up he was never a target in the region of its efforts but the recent attacks on his compound and calls to pressure more on really a leader sound a little they sound contradictory to the thinking is a target wouldn't a thanksgiving be aimed it will lose a very different is what i think should be the aim there is is is ending this conflict in and trying to find a way to get gadhafi out of power and allowing the libyan people to choose their own leaders so i don't but that doesn't seem to be what the polls see is they're calling for regime change and turning it over turning the country over to this
5:18 am
rapidly creative gnc which. is composed of a lot of ex regime members who clearly saw the window in the other way and want to be on the winning side in their commitment to democracy historically has been absolutely no. what is seen as khadafi its future do you think they'll be brought before the criminal court do you think that hell succumbing to a nato airstrike wouldn't if they will be the ultimate players here serious it's not entirely up to him whether he's actually killed say the way that osama bin laden was just killed and he's not looking to know whether he's going to end up in criminal court he could negotiate his way out now they will feel no real opportunity he seems to need to do the kind of leader who will not go voluntarily and will do everything you can engineer to cling to power to the very end. thanks very much for perspective charles glass author and journalist speaking with us life lets on. portugal's opposition says it's going back to

the it's going to back international bailout plan for lisbon the approval is crucial to guarantee the signs off on the seventy eight billion euro deal countries become the third euro zone member to require a financial lifeline its interim prime minister claimed he had one terms then that was imposed on greece and ireland but although jose socrates said no drastic spending cuts are required the portuguese are fearful they'll need to be more austerity measures dr harmer from middle school and university of applied sciences in germany says if the bell it works new bureaucrats could. portugal should go for a few short while out of the euro area and make a sort of state bankruptcy and go into the euro area again when it has solved its problems a country that is in deep debt and makes more dip every year cannot solve its problems by increasing its depth of knowledge because in future the.
5:20 am
crowds will tell portugal what they have to do and what politics they have to to run to fulfill all the depth regularity regularities and therefore it depends on the aims from the spirit crowds what will be done in portugal and not what people want in portugal and therefore this is one step further to euro super state where the bureaucrats are. the more powerful then the countries we do not know whether the enter euro will survive these eight programs. if you're looking for more news you can always find it on our web site r t v dot com along with expert opinion bloggers video analysis and here's what's a click away right now as macalso i really advertises his country is open to all families and georgia's opposition say the government is trying to scare them into

5:23 am
look at the billions up next but the business news stay with us. alone very welcome tree of business update north stream has finished layout of the world's longest sump sea pipeline across the baltic eleven billion dollar construction majority owned by cost from islam shuttle to start delivering gas from russia to germany bypassing transit countries such as ukraine. to discuss the possible impacts of the project i'm joined by christine just to run or look out which he enlist at standard and pools. so what difference will north stream make to the way gas is to create distributors and europe. well i think the north stream pipeline we allowed security to germany in particular cities goes there and particularly now that libya's gas exports to europe have been disrupted we find that most of europe the storage capacity so about half so it will come just in time
5:24 am
we see predictions of european gas increasing by about one point two percent this year and he may go as far as three percent of the beginning of next year it all depends on the economic recovery and once the konami recovery say who will definitely need the natural gas from that pipeline. staying with the pipeline is a long term investment just there are going to be sufficient demand in europe going forward to justify its construction. well the demand will be there particularly because according to the energy information agency fifty percent increase in electricity consumption worldwide he thinks back in over the next fifteen years now we also have all the new gadgets the ipod would be a phone and all those little toys that we have they require more electricity now production of electricity can be done through or. it can be done through called
5:25 am
a power power generating plants or it can be done through nuclear plants now nuclear plants at the moment because of the incentives in japan have been put on hold being discarded but all of the alternatives are very expensive and require government subsidies if you compared for example coal which is relatively cheap versus a gas powered generator plant a gas powered generator and their plan costs a third less does not require subsidies it's significantly cheaper to operate and he's much more energy efficient now fifty percent of european power plants are going to be more than twenty years old so they need replacement and the estimate at the moment because of all of these will be replaced with natural gas power generating plants and that's where it's coming from because at the moment we have depressed natural gas prices people think that we have more than enough gas but you've got to remember that this is coming from the recession we expect the economy
5:26 am
to recover at some point in fact the industrial demand in europe is beginning to recover now when that happens we could have enough gas well the current excess of that we have ellen g. that is two thirds contracted already and we won't get any new gene vestments until after twenty sixteen so for the moment it kind of new recovers we'll see that natural gas a very bright outlook and in europe in particular it's a bright. for russia which is the main supplier of natural gas for europe european natural gas fields are declining so aren't necessity for russian imports increases goes by and the main fields in russia will provide for europe have not been constructed yet both of the struck mine fields so be supplied it's important that we can start supplying europe in the meantime christine and just very quickly as we
5:27 am
are running out of time the third energy package has been heavily criticized by some companies working in the sector do you think projects such as north korea would get funding if there's supply of gas in this case it is gazprom is not allowed to own the means of distribution. well the problem is that we want to lower the price of energy consumption and energy prices here in europe about we need to liberalize the pipelines i don't think it will disrupt gasper and supply of europe if it contributes to the liberal sation of europe because that will increase demand so although they might think that it hurts them it doesn't really because if the price of gas to go through a certain degree becomes more available and cheaper for all of europe ultimately higher demand for russia so i don't think it will affect them i think a lot of the controversy for this pipeline was defunct there because it is based in switzerland where not very transparent so we think that economically might not be
5:28 am
profitable and that's the reason why it's being billed privately and secondly because of the situation in poland it's going to truck it's going to cross the waterway close to where polo needs building its elenchi plant which means said they would not be able to accept larger than thirteen meters and basically limits the growth of l.n.g. into poland some people have said sarcastically maybe russia is trying to prevent poland from being able to import gas from other sources just from russia but that's all of speculation and so far we do need the demand and we don't think that having liberalized pipelines in the european union will hurt russian interest on the contrary it will make us much more profitable a much more in demand and that ultimately is good news for russia because it increases demand thank you very much for your analysis christian says corona equity
