finishes laying the world's longest pipeline across the baltic living gas from russia to germany in the. transit countries such as ukraine journey for more on the story of how this is happening. here with r.t. live from moscow now barack obama has come under attack from critics for failing to deliver proof of the death of osama bin laden the president has blocked the release of photos of the al qaeda leader's body citing national security risks the decision was announced two days after bin laden was killed by u.s. special forces and buried at sea now the exact circumstances of his death remain unclear and have raised questions about the legality and legitimacy of the killing . as the story. the week 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 him ladan from the incoming fire by tuesday a big blunder a major backpedaling in a room with bin laden a woman bin laden's were 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 punch of different stories they took some steps back and they've just said the conspiracy machine if we're all on a far or a 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 somebody i don't think it was there was any question that ultimately a photograph or a would be presented to the public we have no need to publish those photographs to establish that was one of bin laden was killed 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 or find 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 for. burial has been the target

of conspiracy and act u.s. officials say was done in keeping with muslim tradition it was determined that. there is a requirement in islamic law that the individual be very but in twenty four hours as many have noted washington broke its own rule when the bodies of saddam hussein's sons were in and held for eleven days after being killed by u.s. forces but there are 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 baracoa obama at the center of a two year conspiracy that guy down once america's leader released his thoughts right 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 the u.s.

government. in i.r.c. new york when osama bin laden's demise as he'd be even more pressure on the already strained relationship between pakistan and the u.s. is not about claims its sovereignty was violated by the secret mission to eliminate the terrorist figurehead meanwhile washington is trying to establish whether its ally was sheltering bin laden who had been living in an affluent suburb near the pakistani capital but as are two summary of the national reports samas death won't necessarily mean an end to america's unpopular role in the region. osama's death couldn't have canada's better time u.s. and pakistani relations are going through their worst period since nine eleven the reasons behind it try to drones and try to contractors' when a cia agent shows to pakistan his dad in the row daylight earlier this year officials in islamabad said it was the final straw and demanded all american operatives leave the country immediately we have to be doubly sure rather their

presence border. into pakistan a guest in the interest of. pressure why not western pakistan just one week before al qaeda leader was killed and a u.s. drone demonstration in the united hundreds of protesters fear is that another twenty five people were killed in a strike in the total number of civilians last into the hundreds. kareem had lost his son and a brother in a two thousand and nine attack the drone operator miles away from here pushed the button when it was night in pakistan and dreams how family was sleeping. oh you were a real school you may have made me your government or. there are these people for gore. but to stand in for a good country with many people sharing this opinion pakistani officials are

warning the us is fueling insurgency rather than cooling it they harm more than they help by because of the. damage is that these are 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 x. is america's drone technology but despite signs of a peace offering and general and sentiment has continued rising has plans to extend its. military presence in pakistan and ensure its dominance in the region after its troops withdrew from a guy's time seems to have collapsed as he comes the charge card but the united states has conducted an operation that killed osama bin laden and he said about bin laden's demise just like u.s. drones came out of the blue delivering a direct hit on you ask critics and many san erika's victory will hardly change the

life of ordinary people here in a country to scream in the maidstone fact and by the global war on terror since recently in pakistan i was among the first to the complete opposite side of things like this it is easy easy. easy but it seems to me that population leaks place really quite tranquil as you can see people out there are going about their daily lives that we have done with this little hundred kilometers away from here and with antennas all around this piece is very fragile part of honoring. the country's army has always been alert now more than ever and. many fear that death over some of bin laden will spark a backlash and endanger the peace that has been achieved refinishing r.t. cacace time. with r.t.

live from moscow and on the way for you all the search for a joint venture to space the russian rocket is a gear up to carry some essential european technology to orbit find out what makes the project so smash just the people. that are turning our attention to libya about where colonel gadhafi forces are locked in a grueling battles with rebels who are being supported of course while nato air strikes there says the international coalition meets in rome agreeing to establish a financial fund to support the insurgents in their fight against the libyan leader's regime. the first instalment of aid through the fund will be one hundred and eighty million euros your secretary of state hillary clinton says washington also hopes to use could affianced seized assets to fund the insurgency there are polls that want more material help including weapons or even asking the alliance to kill the colonel on their behalf but the coalition insists the cafe is not the target that's despite bombing his compound killing members of his family just last

who's an expert on the arab world thinks of funding the libyan rebels will do more harm than good. the economy that money belongs to the libyan people and there's a civil war going on in libya it may not be fair to distribute money to one side or the other in the civil war when you go to preserve that money so when the war is over and the country needs to be rebuilt we can go in and go in to benefit all of the people not just one of them it will certainly escalate the conflict as we remember from the united states financing the mujahideen in afghanistan against the soviets simply raised the stakes and increased the numbers of casualties i think given the transitional national council who are fighting a war against gadhafi surely they're going to go to international arms merchants and work on the black market in buy weapons there calling for regime change and turning it over turning the country over to this rapidly created t.n.c. which. is composed of a lot of ex regime members and clearly saw the wind blowing the other way in war

and be on the winning side in your commitment to democracy historically has been absolutely no. more speculation has been raised on the reasons for nato is intervention in libya as r.t. as more and it reports the organization may have been trying to prevent khadafi from bearing the american back. according to some it's about protecting civilians we must not tolerate this regime using military force against its own people others say it's about oil the only. marriages that have. your oil think we'd be in iraq if their major eggs weren't there was broccoli but some are convinced intervention in libya is all about currency specifically daffy's plan to introduce the poles dinar a single african currency made from polls a true sharing of the wealth it's 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 to your going to be targeted to conferences on this. ninety six and another one. called the world mccarver conference organized by. everybody was interesting i think most countries in africa working 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 dinars 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 split ten times the population if gadhafi had an intent to try to

reprice his oil or whatever else the country was selling in the global markets and accept something else as a currency or maybe launch a gold in our currency any moves such as that would certainly not be welcomed by the power elite 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 for moving him from power it's happened before in two thousand saddam hussein announced iraqi oil would be traded in euros not dollars sanctions and an invasion followed so. because the americans were desperate to prevent opec from transferring oil trading in all its member countries to the euro the u.k. the colby's here in a secure boat somewhere in the depths of the bank of england's 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 the would have given oil rates for middle

eastern countries the power to turn around so that energy hungry customers and say sorry the 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 nowhere and that's what's he loves it and i mean so i'm independent journalist i'm overseas believes that for the u.s. and its allies wars are simply a matter of business watchers full interview next hour here on our team but for now he's a preacher. do you know if you. tried to examine a period of time when the u.s. and other western allies of the war we could not find thirty days the last thirty years. where there hasn't been a period of military. because that business. has anybody. run them over militarily. and. with business like.

without your life in moscow where it's now a quarter past the hour put schools are three main political parties have given their consent to a seventy eight billion euro bailout plan there's been no claim for the money promised to it by the e.u. and the international monetary fund will be enough to help revive the country's crippled economy portugal's. eurozone members who require a financial lifeline and it's caretaker prime minister says he had one easier than those imposed on greece. but also. said. no drastic spending cuts are required portuguese are fearful they'll be further austerity measures dr heymann from a middle stance university of applied sciences in germany says if there be a law works you bureaucrats will control. 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 stepped problems a country that is in deep debt and makes more debt every year cannot solve its problems by increasing its depth amount because in future the. crowds will tell courtroom 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 the people want in portugal and therefore this is one step further to euro super state where the bureaucrats are. the more powerful than the countries we do not know whether the enter euro will survive these eight programs.

some other world news for you have proved this hour at least twenty people who killed dozens injured following a terrorist attack in central iraq most of the victims were policeman reports a suicide bomber drove a car packed with explosives into the police headquarters in the city of hillah the blast took place during a shift change when many officers were standing outside the building and no one has yet claimed responsibility for the attack. hundreds of syrian troops stormed a damascus suburb arresting at least three hundred people tanks and troops also reported to have been sent into other trouble spots. fresh reports of anti-government demonstrations meanwhile the syrian army's pre-concert withdrawal from the southern city of tehran following an uprising against the rule of president bashar al assad the tire itself as effectively been under siege for ten days with electricity and telephone services cut off and snipers deployed on the rooftops the violence has left more than five hundred fifteen dead it since the unrest began seven weeks ago. british voters are going to the polls in

believes the completion of the project is coming at just the right time 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 hard through so it will come just in time we see predictions of european gas demand increasing by about one point two percent this year and you may go as far as three percent in the beginning of next year it all depends on the economic recovery and once the economic recovery said we will definitely need the natural gas from the pipeline rushes way through voz it's all expertise comes in response to recent fuel shortages in the country caused by congress seeking to maximize profits by selling all parts of broad. russia is the world's leading oil exporter and

a fuel deficit on the domestic market is unacceptable the recent shortages were caused by the unreliability of a number of market players and logistical problems in addition we cannot deny the influence of high global crude prices one of the measures that could be taken to stabilize the market is to increase duties on exporting high octane fuel. and here's a snapshot of the market's performance to sell light sweet ads to losses after u.s. state report revealed a bigger than expected rise in weekly crude oil inventories plus the u.s. drop data shows gains in employment in april to low full cost is losing over four dollars this. gold and silver again seeing losses the selloff in silver saw the metal recently dropped pushing for signs from its highs and that's probably not the end of the slump the metal is losing more than three percent european stocks are trading in the tight range as inventors took in a raft of earnings reports from some of the region's largest companies including

correction is still ahead but the end in sight. well lots will depend on the oil price and also depend on the extent to which the market is willing to price monetary policy tightening in asia specifically but it wouldn't be outrageous to think this correction to go on for a little bit longer another five to ten percent wouldn't be going to be out of order the market went into this correction very heavily overweight the oil names coming through this correction we've seen people selling those old names however irrational of companies are still pretty cheap so if these prices come off a bit we could see some of that is looking to buy so actually buy on dips that the market is looking for quite difference of places not to put money investing orientated names which benefit from a stronger real quite attraction. was manufacturing growth may be slowing down but the same is not true for services activity the sector has risen to its highest level for almost six months according to the latest figures the growth has mostly
