americans cheered as the government announced our son of a lot of but many are now questioning how it happened and why there's been a lockout. pakistanis on high alert as fears grow the peace and stability of struggling to achieve will go up in smoke after the killing of al qaeda leader. in assets of colonel gadhafi could be released and handed over to help the opposition comes amid accusations the coalition started the rest to prevent libya creating a new rival international currency. for the construction of the world's longest subs the pipeline across the baltic is coming to an end so north stream will start

delivering gas from russia to germany and also i think other countries such as ukraine. have this update in fighting that's. worldwide news live from moscow this is r.t. now barack obama has come under attack from critics for failing to deliver proof of osama bin laden's death president has blocked the release of photos of the body of the al qaeda leader citing national security risks decision was announced two days ago after bin laden was killed by u.s. special forces and buried at sea the exact circumstances of his death remain unclear and of raised questions about the the galaxy and legitimacy of the killing . has the story. began with an international news bombshell. proudly dropped by the united states after

a firefight they killed osama bin laden and took custody of his body 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 a big blunder a major backpedaling in a room with bin laden a woman bin laden's was 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 the bunch of different stories they took some stuff is back and they've just found out the conspiracy machine they've were oil on fire 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 some good luck i don't think there was any question that ultimately the photograph where would be presented to the public we have no need to publish those photographs to establish that some 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 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 when. on the web shortly

afterwards meanwhile good light and expedited sea burial has been the target of conspiracy and act u.s. officials say was done in peeping with muslim tradition turning that fear is required making islamic law their individual buried within twenty four hours as many have noted washington broke its own rule when the bodies of saddam hussein's sons were important and held for a living days after being killed by u.s. forces there are so many inconsistency 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 in no 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.t. new york some of them lot in the minds of people even more pressure on the already strained relationship between pakistan and the u.s. islamabad 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 anyone who had been living in a suburb near the pakistani capital it's our to use it for national reports a summer's death won't necessarily mean an end to america's unpopular role in the region. also mr couldn't have commented better time u.s. and pakistani relations are going through their worst period since nine eleven reasons behind it prints of drones and private contractors when a cia agent chose to take his tiny stand in broad daylight early cia officials inside. it said it was the final straw and demanded all american operatives leave

the country immediately but we have to be doubly sure rather their presence border being then cathal by a guest in the interest of. pressure why not western pakistan just one week before al qaeda as leader was killed and anti us jones demonstration united hundreds of protesters fear is that another twenty five people were killed in a strike taking the total number of civilian deaths into the hundreds i. cream had lost his son and a brother in two thousand and nine and tak the drone operator miles away from here pushed the button when it was night in pakistan and dreams how family was sleeping . you were a real may in may of may may your now grown man. for. there this being. a war the left. for good or immigrant with many

people sharing this opinion pakistani officials are warning the u.s. has fueled an insurgency rather than cooling it more than they help because of the political damage is there these are the civilians in videos 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 trend technology to despite signs of a peace offering and generic and 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 guy stan seem to have collapsed and he's about bin laden's demise just like us jones came out of the blue delivering a direct hit on us critics but many say america is victory will hardly change the

life of ordinary people here in a country that's been in the maids to factored by the global war on terror since rationing in pakistan was among the first to be cleaned of the times in two thousand and nine expanding the sanitation make it at least ability to meet in operation daily life really quite tranquil as you can see people out there are going about their daily lives that we have done well that the city and the corner of the way from here and with the mountains all around me peace is very fragile part of honoring. the country's army has always been alert now more than ever. many fear the death of a sum of bin laden will spark a backlash and then danger peace and. has been achieved and refinish not see pakistan. along with r.t.

and on the way for you all set for a joint venture to space the russian rocket is gearing up to carry some essential european technology to watch it find out what makes the project subtle special in just a few minutes. and attached to libya now where colonel gadhafi forces are locked in a grueling battles with rebels who are being supported by nato airstrikes says the international coalition meets in rome a green suit establish a financial fina to support the insurgents in their fight against the libyan leader's regime or the u.s. secretary of state hillary clinton says washington also hopes to use gadhafi seized assets to fund the insurgency the rebels want more material help including weapons or even asking the allies to kill the colonel on their behalf but the coalition insists could afy is not their target as despite bombing his compound killing members of his family charles a glass who's an expert on the arab world thinks funding the libyan rebels will do more harm than code. we're going to get money belongs to the libyan people and

a civil war going on in libya and it may not be fair to distribute our money to one side or the other in the civil war will be better to preserve that money so when the war is over the country needs to be rebuilt we can go in there and benefit will of the people not just some of them it will certainly escalate the conflict. and we remember from the united states financing the original deal in afghanistan against the soviets simply raised the stakes and increased the numbers of casualties they give it to the transitional national council in libya who are fighting a war against gadhafi surely they are going to go to international arms merchants and i will be on the black market in buy weapons they're calling for regime change and turning it over turning the country over to this rapidly creating gnc which. is composed of a lot of ex regime members who clearly saw the wind blowing the other way and wanted to be on the winning side and their commitment to democracy historically has been absolutely nil. the driving force behind nato's intervention in libya is the

subject of constant international scrutiny and now he's a lord i met reports there are those who believe that the alliance may have been trying to prevent khadafi from bearing the american buck. to. 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 reason there is is that of. the oil the i think we'd be in a rock if the major acts or there was broccoli but some are convinced intervention in libya is all about currency specifically khadafi plan to introduce the goldstein are a single african currency made from gold's a true sharing of the wealth it's one of these things that you have to play 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 there were two conferences of this

running ninety six and another one. called the world which are the conference organized by get up and everybody was interested but i think most countries in africa were keen is happy 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 which depends 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 doubled that split ten times the population if gadhafi had an intent to try to reprice is a wall or whatever else the country. 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 brought forth for removing him from power it's happened before in two thousand set up he say amounts to brocky oil would be traded in euros not dollars sanctions and an invasion 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 is here in a secure boat somewhere in the depths of the bank of big i think 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 african and middle eastern countries the power to turn it around so their energy hungry customers and say sorry the price has gone up and we've got gold some say the u.s.

and its nato allies literally couldn't afford to let that happen nor and that's not . what the international criminal court is probing allegations of war crimes committed by kidnappings forces in libya but now african officials also want the prosecutors to investigate the alleged use of branded weapons by nato from the institute for democracy and cooperation in paris says the criminal court has a history of being biased. i'd be very interested to see how the international criminal court reacts to this i wouldn't be at all surprised if the allegation is true but what strikes me mostly about the international criminal court is that as ever it proves itself it has shown itself it is showing itself to be the handmaidens of western policy the international criminal court prosecutor has been in new york this we can only guess to date he confirmed what again i have long suspected namely that he intends to launch a prosecution against colonel gadhafi and other libyan leaders in other words he is

marked string in lockstep with the western powers just as he did over iraq he received hundreds and hundreds of applications to prosecute members of the anti saddam coalition over the iraq war and from two thousand and three onwards he didn't take any notice of a single one of them and as you know there's never been any investigation into iraq at all and my suspicion is that the same thing will be true of libya in other words that he will launch a prosecution against libya against the libyan leadership but not against the nato powers waging the war against it. an independent journalist believes that for the u.s. and its allies who are simply a matter of business you can watch for that if you next hour right here on r.t. but for now here's a preview. you know if you. try to examine a period of time when the u.s. and other western allies have not been a war we could not find thirty days thirty years. where there hasn't been a period of military it's completely. because that business.

is anybody good ject run them over militarily. and follow them up with business like. you without the light from moscow put schools three main political parties have given their consent to eight seventy eight billion euro bear up plan and claims that the money promised to it by the e.u. and i.m.f. will be enough to help revive the country's crippled economy. portables become eurozone member to require financial lifeline it's caretaker prime minister says he had one it easier time you think those imposed on greece and ireland but also josie socrates said no drastic spending cuts are required the portuguese are fearful there will be further austerity measures talk to eat from the middle stands at university of applied sciences and germany says if the bailout works you

bureaucrats will be trolled portugal. portugal should go for a fourth 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 step problems a country that is in deep depths and makes more debt every year cannot solve its problems by increasing its step to march because in future the. crowd. 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 these paragraphs what will be done in portugal and not what the people want in portugal and therefore this is one step further to the super state where the bureaucrats are. the more powerful than the

countries we do not know whether the enter euro will survive these programs. all right now let's get to some other world news and pray for you this hour at least twenty three killed and dozens injured following a terrorist attack in central iraq most of the victims were policeman reports say 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 outside the building and no one has claimed responsibility for the attack at this point. now hundreds of syrian troops stormed a damascus suburb arresting over three hundred people tanks and troops were also reported to have been sent to other trouble spots amid fresh reports of anti-government demonstrations meanwhile the syrian army has begun to withdraw from the southern city of there are following an uprising against the rule of president bashar outside the town itself is effectively been under siege for ten days with

of rebounding kristine's is correct how it started and poor's believes the completion of the project is coming at just the right time. the north stream pipeline we land 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 full so it will come just in time we see predictions of european gas demand increasing by about one point two percent this year and he 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 say we will definitely need the natural gas from that pipeline that's record or light sweet ads to losses after us state report revealed a bigger than expected rise in weekly crude oil inventories plus the u.s. dropped data shows gains in employment in april below forecasts brett is losing
