what. is a very warm welcome to you this is artsy i'm a real researcher international bankers are preparing to hand out a massive flooding to egypt's temporary leaders just months after praising the financial growth overseen by the former regime the money's aim to relaunch the economy with a number of conditions attached to the cash is likely to weigh hard on ordinary people and as aussies put us reports some people fear that egypt's sovereignty is being sold off. as if the international monetary fund doesn't have enough on its plate it's agreed to loan three billion dollars to cairo and move critics say is absurd but i think this is a bribe trying to give to the regime lest the new one lest it

turns against the west but cairo is insisting the money will help stabilize the country's finances especially now with mubarak on and the country going through a transitional period but observers say it's the same skin with only slightly different marketing these greens are being made with traditional transitional governments and these transitional government's had. become a primarily harder because of the all regime they composed primarily because from your regime for example samir radwan the finance minister in egypt has been negotiating this loan was and barack obama's promise in cairo a billion dollars more in loan guarantees and on top of that another billion in debt cancellation while french president nicolas sarkozy has committed the g eight to providing up to ten billion dollars in direct aid it's a commitment the west says it's making to help each actions get back on its feet the united states and the west are trying to reduce the damage caused by

revolutions v.o.r. . considerable financial contributions gyptian economy and the perfect ways through the i.m.f. which is heavily influenced by the united states for. many many years the i.m.f. has been considered as an a war of american foreign economic policies. to a regime that is unstable. would could be considered is a waste of money on something that is very shaky what's more it comes with particular strings attached. and that the deal could in fact spell trouble i don't need a. tree. or anybody except the worst trouble. instead of syria a country really loses its sovereignty. rhetorical.

regime no way. but most egyptians fear is that the money will get used up long before it reaches the pockets believing it's likely to be only a small elite as well as international banks who benefit from the loans the last time the i.m.f. injected a large amount of money into egypt was twenty years ago but since then the number of egyptians living below just two dollars a day doubled in february this year the i.m.f. praised the mubarak regime as the sound fiscal management in egypt as far as libya went if the offer for the economy remains stable but just days later the boat was also stood and tripoli was engulfed in anti gadhafi demonstrations so it's no surprise of many say the i.m.f. waits the country the closer the country is to having a bit of a leash and highlighting just how wrong the organization can be policy r.t.

tell of. moscow's mission to go the two sides in the libyan conflict talking is underway with the russian envoy now in the country margot is in benghazi currently meeting with the opposition but the libyan capital is not a safe place right now with people there living under constant threat from an ever growing in turn so no one bought what parties were. the russian special presidential envoy make owner gal of is today here in leave her to try to mediate in the civil war that has lasted for months already and has already claimed many lives including innocent civilians and we'll go to the. opposition members of russia's position in the context of what's happening now in libya rebel leaders. in the u.n. security council and at the g. eight summit in google and the unique role of russia. and the russian embassy there and we've established who is with the national transitional council

in benghazi we are ready for a mediating role able to bridge between the broken libyan society. are also expected first to visit the capital tripoli as well but now many say that's unlikely to happen for both political and security reasons present but following the g eight meeting in france has been tough they should step down after the libyan government here in tripoli has started to see russia aligning with the western powers in its attempt to unseat khadafi while before russia. resolution in the u.n. security council authorizing nato military operation here the rival of the russian special envoy to lead coincides with intensification of nato strikes. here in tripoli when we arrived in the streets we heard gunshots and the sound very very happy bombardment just days ago the alliance expanded its war against the

gadhafi regime and has started using attack helicopters for the first time in this nation intensification could also be proven by the statesman's we can hear from nato secretary general rasmussen side that's when he meets with the alliances defense ministers on wednesday he'll be demanding more countries contribute to the fight against gadhafi. just ahead old russian special is it to leave here the british foreign secretary has declared after a visit himself rebels in benghazi that's the whole operation here in lead there could last beyond christmas so we can say for sure that the street here in leave it is very difficult and let's hope that the mission by russian special envoy here will be successful. in other reporting from the libyan capital tripoli where you are with r.t. in there so much more news to come your way in the program putting education down.

doubt that this is it anything more than photo ops given that the two nations are more divided than ever on the issues of the day including of gannets than iraq and libya germany chose to withhold its support for military action in libya the u.n. security council siding with russia and china here despite being under a lot of pressure from the u.s. the u.k. and france germany has supported the war in afghanistan but now analysts say its diminishing contribution is unlikely to survive even the next election cycle so there is a rift between washington and virally not just long wars on other policies as well germany plans to ban nuclear energy altogether as opposed to the u.s. that expands its nuclear power plants on the economy germany has a completely different approach they have high taxes better welfare is their traits are plastic produce more they export more while the u.s. is head over heels in bed it is running a trade deficit of half a trillion dollars so are none of the issues there in germany in the u.s.

on the same page really some say i mean all this splendid formal reception that two leaders could have little to talk about really going to leaders haven't exactly been the best of friends going back a few years now already there's some sort of you know why is she going to the white house and why the timing and some would say that it might help her improve her image back at home a popularity has dipped to political infighting and of course the support of building up greece financially but now it's all hugs and smiles and this is one of the apparent shift in their friendship. well you know i'm going to merkel when she became chancellor six years ago was expected to be very pro-american because she grew up in common it's germany and she was in many ways that the beginning of her career then with the wars in iraq and afghanistan her support for the way for the u.s. policies has faded when president obama came into office the two got off to a rocky start when she refused they were in obama's two thousand and eight

presidential speech campaigning to let him speak in front of the brandenburg gate a cold war symbol famously used as a backdrop by presidents john kennedy and ronald reagan some say they returned to. return this year later by turning down merkel's invitations to help part of the twentieth anniversary of the fall of the berlin wall so on the surface it's all smiles and handshakes but analysts say with the new developments in the world through all the revolutions and the wars the rift between washington and berlin is getting deeper. certainly president obama skipped to germany last month during his four country european tour the local media suggesting local took that as a snub or whatever the case called and circumstance on a warm reception for i'm going to michael in washington d.c. now our correspondent got a chicken thank you. all in about a six i was from now with three men who will start their journey into orbit aboard

and no jobs to pay them off they're entering a vicious circle. america is home to the world's most expensive and prestigious universities yet paying for them has created a nation where the majority sign on to lifetime payments of loans are probably about sixty thousand dollars student. over like ninety thousand easy. yet i make you nervous yes that makes me terrified every american graduate is launching into a dwindling job market saddled with at least twenty four thousand dollars in student debt but that really led to great job or start a great company are going to be seriously in the hole according to the economic policy institute the us economy currently has one job for every five applicants meanwhile business for bankruptcy attorney cannot be live in is surging half of his clients are unemployed degree holders drowning in debt anyone going to college

a devoted mother none of these roles kept her as busy as she is now her tragedy she became a grandmother only after she'd lost everything else would you assume the death of my son created a hole in my life that i will never close but the birth of my grandchildren certainly provide some solace is god's gift to me the mar son died of cancer three years ago but before his first chemotherapy session doctors conserve his sperm but the help of surrogate mothers she sets of twins were brought into the world. when mars has been bluffed her scientific career was put on hold yet lamar's says they're all trifles compared to be reviewed and brought about by her son's death you should perish. it's love which is fed by grief but it's love number less three

years ago i couldn't imagine myself even smiling let alone laughing or singing songs but the little ones pulled me out of this abyss of despair but her large family supported lamar says she has no financial or parental concerns about raising her grandchildren the main problem now is the reluctance of the russian state to recognize her as the martyr of these children and her deceased son as their father . amar has taken the issue to court with a ruling expected on once they hear laura believes the war is in their side. according to russian law there are no limits on who can become apparent through the use of surrogate mother who of course cases like this one are still very unusual in russia that's why some registration offices recruits officials meet be confused and refuse to grade sister children but the law is different three an hour a favor. that maher is the third woman in russia who use the sperm of her deceased

son to continue the family's lineage yet whether it is due to her age or the share number of children involved her story a good many russians questioning the affix of this kind of parenting. you would. decide zimbo mechanics ultimately lead to this very ambiguous situation we can really tell the difference between a son and a grandson there are so many orphans in russia so she wanted to be a mother she could have easily realized her maternal instincts i think ultimately it's a very selfish drive to pass through genes no matter what. problem are couldn't care less about societal attitudes too much suffering for the loss of your only son persuaded her that there is no such thing as too many grandchildren russian law has no age cap for people willing to adopt children the only cavite is that a potential parent should be at least sixteen years older than the child and are muskies these days difference is almost sixty years this doesn't sit easily in
