if you want. to. call. in the. major u.s. bank allegedly loses a billion dollar investment by libya putting the financial woes of the american and libyan people in the same boat. when we think what's happening is a shift towards a ground operation. russia's foreign minister slams nato deployment of helicopters out of a hit their first targets in libya. a huge fire which destroyed an ammunition dump in central russia has been put out leaving over eighty injured. and footloose for freedom hundreds have been dancing their way through the jefferson memorial in washington d.c. claiming their holding their first amendment rights after five were arrested for

similar action last week. international news and comment live from our studios here in central moscow this is r.t. libya could be another name on the list of alleged victims of the joint us investment bank goldman sachs the bank is currently being investigated by the american government for its part in the two thousand and eight financial crisis it's supposed to last a one billion dollar investment made by tripoli three years ago but as marina court now reports from new york the bank is hardly concerned. long before the u.s. led airstrikes against libya's moammar gadhafi they did teeter and one of america's most profitable banks were first financial friends in two thousand and eight according to the wall street journal goldman sachs offered could offie the chance

of becoming a huge shareholder only after losing ninety eight percent of libya's one point three billion dollars sovereign wealth fund in just a few months they lost a staggering percentage i don't know how you lose ninety percent or something was that on options on the european banks and energy companies stocks plunged shortly thereafter but in any case clearly they saw a goldmine in gadhafi when the fund controlled by colonel qadhafi nearly empty goldman pointed out offers to recoup losses according to the journal libya would get five billion dollars worth of goldman shares in return for making a three point seven billion dollar investment in the securities firm libya agreed to buy the bank's debt with a promise of a lucrative annual six percent return for twenty years goldman knew it was about to

head into a nosedive and there they were selling. these libyans a piece of junk which was themselves libyan sovereign wealth fund officials are reportedly accusing goldman of misrepresenting investment deals and making trades without proper authorization but others proudly admit playing fast and loose with gadhafi is money american real estate and reality show tycoon donald trump boasts that he lied to and deceived the libyan leader in the past i reckon from a piece of land he paid me where i. ever where do the old year after two years i don't get a lot of news the way and why we should be doing more sent over new jobs we want to use the word screw up what are you scared of now. critics say the libyan people stand to get screwed by wall street trump's comments were very interesting in terms of the attitude that american executives and american officials have towards other countries their dear to be screwed and he said it publicly and he advocated it as

a policy and he did it personally due to frozen assets and financial sanctions imposed by the u.s. europe and the united nations libya's sovereign wealth fund could arguably be forgotten about unless one of the world's top financial firms is held accountable to american simply and demanding that for years without any success can get coffee achieve what the american people and the american government can't or won't achieve i don't think so i think that they're going to get away with this you know people billion dollar boondoggle with libya just as they've done it with america goldman sachs is currently being investigated for playing a major role in the two thousand and eight financial crisis a crisis that cost americans millions of their jobs homes and life savings while a military conflict currently divides the u.s. and libya uniting citizens of both countries is the financial game wall street has

made at their expense. artsy. florida based investment banker bernie dorman has told me that the bank's operations with libya could be potable water column. but we are two percent of the world's oil supply you become a target these sovereign nation firms have been the primary target of some of the biggest and best worldwide but the obama administration has created a criminal investigation it is now getting information our sources tell us they are good evidence that the bakers were told that the materials they were selling in the sovereign nation firms were truly bad assets they knew they were bad assets and they were moving them or near a cow and putting them on the accounts of libya norway and iceland and that's a crime and as the list of u.s. banks troubles gets bigger so does the country's deficit possibility of the debt

ceiling being raised becomes more of a reality experts say the move could only mean more economic pain for a country party reports in a few. nato helicopters have hit their first targets in libya russian foreign minister sergei lavrov has denounced the deployment as a step towards a ground operation. we expressed our opinion over this escalation of the military operation we think what's happening is a shift towards a ground operation this would be very regretful because the violations of the security council resolution already taking place are more than enough to think about it to choose towards us decisions british and french helicopters attacked colonel gadhafi forces near the port city of brega and we deployed just days after nato extended its intervention for another three months weeks and weeks of seeing intensified allied airstrikes against the libyan army. there are indications that

the law can start which will produce a genuine libyan political process if you simply keep dictating things from the outside by supporting the rebels by saying that this person has to go this person has to stay bringing somebody in announcing that some particular individual is legitimate the other is more legitimate then you have the country just go ahead on the dot become to do another to iraq in libya we don't believe. it was trying to say that as foreign capitals determine who is the interview the country and what is going to happen there there has to be a political process so our idea is that there must be a ceasefire as quickly as possible because it can produce a situation where civilians are not going to suffer any longer and u.k. foreign secretary has made a surprise visit to benghazi expressing support for the rebels journalist and author afshin rattansi says the fact that william hague is sitting down with one of the sides accused of war crimes is a disaster team so deliberate. attempts at stopping any type of cease

peace process all we now know is that william hague the british foreign secretary is seated there and he's even with the rebels the u.n. panel in the past few days and said that there are war crimes being committed by some of the rebels so i think the british foreign secretary into trouble if it ever came to an international criminal court decision i'm sure he'll be being subpoenaed . it's looking more and more like a disaster with only russia and china holding any cards to play at the moment well let's go to washington d.c. where hundreds of people have been dancing at the jefferson memorial claiming they're exercising their first amendment rights last week r.t. america and kokesh and four others were arrested by the police for talents in the same spot can have more from our washington d.c. bureau. this is what i saw the crowd was this cursed sort of pushed out of the jefferson memorial but dozens of people really risked being arrested for just peacefully dancing at the memorial everyone had his fear that it could happen at

any time to many it sounded like a joke you know because freedom you know the first amendment of the u.s. constitution explicitly to protect freedom of assembly and actions that symbolically express a view point if those actions are not harming anybody and one could think what could be more harmless than dancing people who took part in this dance for freedom flashmob say they do it to remind of their constitutional rights which they claim are being breached recently there was a court decision specifically regarding the thomas jefferson memorial that prohibited dancing there that's what triggered the movement if you will last week a small group of people protested the decision which is silent in this opinion morial we were brutally rested none of them was an iraq war veteran civil rights activist adam kokesh was recently also has his own show on r t just a week later thousands of people after he rest in difference it is by the way not only washington d.c. joined him and others to say no to police brutality take

a listen. to everything else after all the other violations of our freedom over the trashing of the economy i'm sure everybody who suffered in this country under the good will of the police theory is going to advance and that's not always reading we have lived we're going to come in and do it for people we say are we believe in liberty would lead to these high ideals and then when it comes down to something like this in the divided on its control obviously for a lot of people this dance flash mob has turned into something very symbolic especially here in washington at the thomas jefferson memorial he is one of america's most we've heard founding fathers jefferson in visions of parents as a great quote and part of liberty liberty which is the thing we're saying today americans are getting further away from with every other court decision it's not just about dancing in a public place of course there's a lot more serious stuff many here are talking about the post nine eleven patriot act that her. curtailed many of their constitutional freedoms and our very new elite introduced laws as well so this thing flash mob is just one symbolic drop in

the police handle what they see is why lation of their rights. and you can watch the full video of the demonstration of the jefferson memorial facebook page. news today violence is once again flared up. in these are the images the world has been seeing from the streets of canada. trying to look for asians to relieve their . the russian military says a massive fire at an ammunition depot that's been raging for over twenty four hours has been put up by the number injured in the accident continues to rise and currently stands at eighty six dozens of buildings have been destroyed and almost thirty thousand were forced to leave their homes. as one hour from the region.

thousands forced to flee from their homes as a fireball turns the night sky orange. the fire that broke out at the military missions depo on thursday night left the local population many of whom are elderly terrified and fleeing in their thousands. suddenly there was a big and their windows smashed i thought it would be thunder in. my magic and balancing up and down and went all through the night like that i was praying i remembered all the prayers i could so god might help me stay alive. two elderly people suffered heart attacks believed to have been brought on by shock and died many of the old couldn't escape so here in whatever shelter was available to them. they mainly elders who hid in basements and were evacuated by rescue teams we're going to go over and move them to hospitals and evacuation centers no one understood what was going on so everybody took cover as best as they could

helicopters and other aircraft were used to douse the flames from above while bomb disposal experts removed any damage ordinance authorities say the danger has passed that it will merely mystically myriad behind the ammunition warehouse the station itself has cleaned up to make sure that the environment for the people living around here well the residents will be able to return to their homes by the end of would be. a local shop and several houses were looted in the chaos for leadership or fled with just the clothes on his back after an anxious wait he can now return home to check on his property with the main thing is that we do pay. didn't get shutters though inside it's all good might have lost all the lights in curtains or down the trees all over the place the incident here coupled with a similar period last week as lead the president medvedev calling for a full investigation into what happened he suggested that heads will roll

regardless of rank if it turns out its safety procedures were and said here too it seems the two fires in two weeks has proved to be too far too many for the president peter oliver r.t. . and then you can fall of the situation in russia's republic of military as well as what spectacular videos of the file online you can log onto the r.t. free video section to check out footage of the fire taken by unmanned drones instead of the our planes are being used by the emergency services there to monitor the situation and that you can view and even download the high definition video video got. caught. mission. critical three. three. three three. three. three. three. four year media drug free media party.

broke up a lot it shows a month before he has to enter a plea to charges of genocide during his first appearance at the hague tribunal the former bosnian serb general called the accusations monstrous and of noxious the former army chief has been charged with eleven counts of war crimes including his part in the massacre of one thousand muslims as for the new service in ninety five when out it was arrested last thursday after sixteen years in hiding it was hanging over the court was seen as a key condition before you could join the e.u. still there are many steps to be taken before membership and some experts say it's not always this complicated to join the group. those conditions don't need to be met if the e.u. likes you. and romania who admitted for very obvious strategic reasons and didn't meet any particular conditions at all in so doing now the real reason that serbia is outside the e.u. club as it is that the serbian secession is province of cross will. not be resolved

that's the situation it still needs to be resolved and the e.u. prefers serbia to negotiate regarding that situation whilst on its knees which is a position that was no doubt it is very familiar with those original figures eight thousand came out and about from these are bigger which islam is side they were prepared in advance of. thousands of people were hidden soldiers and drafted backings of the. just forces without their families even being informed so there is certainly a great deal of exaggeration in the figure of tribunals is justifying its existence it was set up by madeleine albright's to point an accusing finger at the serbs and to hide the existence of the joint criminal conspiracy to destroy the state the sort of form the state of yugoslavia over half the hearts of the idle population of serbia died to form a male population so we died from yugoslavia which was destroyed by the west on ours and the hague tribunal is there's a plane an entirely different picture it's the one time obey of europe where people

are held for years without trial waiting for trial when they're when their verdict is known in advance in fact is even worse than the guantanamo bay of europe because at least they're in the grounds i'm a bait for judges know what the rules are at the hague tribunal is kangaroo court the rules are worked out as they go along and always at the expense of the serbs. rob learns the deputy editor of the online magazine spiked says what's going on in the hague now is a show trial with the outcome already set in stone but i don't think there's anything. fair about this trial at all about the whole process. i think what's what's happening is that because the outcome is kind of been. set already it's a bit of a show trial i think. as a result i think it's very much about bolstering the west's position and making the west look like it's for if the free defender of justice and the largest has already

been such. a bad guy in this i'm not. allowed to choose our i want a full human being but there were crimes on all sides in that war and to pick out one side as it's worth on the other is a bit peculiar of the situation was much more clear there were opportunists nationalist politicians on all sides and some fairly brutal people behind them as well moody's ratings agency has warned the u.s. it may downgrade its credit rating if washington doesn't make progress on dealing with its debt has increased speculation the u.s. will have to raise its debt ceiling which is already reached in mid may economist peter schiff police that it will only make a bad situation worse but we have to do is start borrowing all this money you mentioned earlier that one of the problems is that we have raised the debt ceiling that's one of the only good things out there that feel it is still there unfortunately they're going to raise it we're going to go deeper into debt which means bigger problems and this is not good you cardless are describing this as a stock. it's quicksand and the economy is this is

a stock that these are the same people who in two thousand and seven said the u.s. economy had never been in better shape they didn't see this crisis coming right never understood the problem of the u.s. economy and they still don't understand i'm a big get government stimulus made the problems better it did it you know allow the problems to get worse. the number of people finding a new job in america is at its lowest level in eight months and our very own new york resident has hit the streets this time finding out if it's worth it paying for an education when there are no jobs at the end of the line. with today's tough job market is it worth spending hundreds of thousands of dollars for college education this week let's talk about that i mean is known to be way out of range and if you go to the top schools when any of the rich people can afford. it why is that to tell you think that that would set us back over the long run in

terms of what we can produce or it is i think if you look around it you economy and the rich are getting rich and the poor are getting poorer and the middle class is falling away new people are seeing the senor real estate in the d.f.t. new economy i think the american people are suffering gigantic con and young people from all over the world are bought off on it and it needs to stop now i'm not going to say that the government needs to pay for it but i think young people need to wake up and look around them and say you know it's not an accident that bill gates was so self taught maybe if kids took two or three years before they went to school and had a little life experience and then had some purpose to their study might make more sense. what is the be worth hundreds of thousands of dollars even at that point i don't think so but i live on one year of accounting i took undergraduate. i wrote millions of dollars on that one cause which i only paid two hundred dollars for i

own a business i hire the best people i can get if you're not if you have a college if you don't have a college education don't even come to my office and apply to what you where did you go to college i went to college in texas and you use what you learned there every day absolutely do you think it depends on what field you're and possibly but let me tell you this without an education you just have a whole lot tougher time in life but we're also told that we all have to go otherwise we won't succeed. faster than straight. men are a choice not to go to uni as you. do pfizer. need to go how much does college cost in poland college for free. any of this paid for it costs hundreds of thousands of dollars. the problem. the bottom line is that most employers still think a college education is important and ultimately it's their opinion right or wrong that man it.
