12:02 am
workers long since gone from the war stricken country is facing its worst energy crisis ever the new realities ordinarily been drivers now was turned was to mounds of time queuing for few months ago this became a common theme here in the rich country people have been lining up to fill up their cars even days but this line is a little different compared to the gas station at the end of this queue is human only and barker is a university student and has volunteered here to help organize the process she stamps a few russian books which allow individuals to thirty five liters a week she believes it's a great idea to have women on the stations. all asian empowered women have too many things to do they don't fight each other world hewing and never should enjoy the year is now in new so we're able to serve up to nine hundred cars a day for the last year look at. this line is long but others are ruben longer
12:03 am
petrol still cheaper than water here just a few cents for a litter it's just that is often in short supply. if there is no few we have to lose our cars and richland reentry appearance could be dates. women only gas stations is one of many innovations supposed to ease people's lives in a country in cares there are also special plans for ambulances and police cars. on the neutral surrounded us but we should. we try to do our best to help people get by but we give up we'll die it's the love of those seeking to oust colonel gadhafi may have been hoping the hardships will incite people to rise up against their leader but instead it only seems to be fueling people's hatred towards what they feel is western imperialism and need nato damaged our city destroyed our lives they told us they want to save people is that the way to seize the people tell me
12:04 am
this is just a crime. while the warring sides try to find their way out of months of devastating conflict ordinary people looking for a way to just leave the everyday lives dreaming about times when these nightmare would be with a distant memory. tripoli. former u.s. congresswoman and presidential candidate since the end achilles on a fact finding mission in libya to see how tripoli is dealing with relentless nato attacks she claims that depleted uranium bombs may have been used there. i understood that what i was hearing from the u.s. press was laden with propaganda of course we know that the pentagon has something called perception management and so they are in the business of utilizing the mighty wurlitzer which is the their the propaganda and they do use
12:05 am
that to affect the way people think about what they're doing and that's exactly what has been happening here and maybe with may tell and so i thought i would come here with a delegation of journalists from across the united states including one journalist also from south africa so that we could understand the truth and then tell the truth to the people yesterday a university was hit alpha university which was formerly known as nasser university to our tour at that university were hit and i had the opportunity to speak with the dean of the political science department and he was literally shaking with anger he was so angry at what had happened to his campus to his university and i visited our coverage high hospital there was one patient who could match tell
12:06 am
his story because he was still in shock there were patients their head moves that looked like they came from very specialized weapons and so the issue of exactly what weapons are being used here is also of great importance and i was able to speak with a person in the united states who is a depleted uranium specialist a former g.o.p. this is. more a civil war a laboratory and she told me that if there was a metallic taste of the dust in arab. mal's there in more than likely it was the previous rainy and so i did a brief survey of those with me because one day there were eighty nine blasts and yes the response that i gather. there was a metallic taste. of israel's long established an energy agreements could be about
12:07 am
to go up in flames the original deal for gas supplies from egypt was set up by president mubarak but now opposed revolution cairo is demanding that the terms be renegotiated as our ports israel's analogy options are fast running out israel cannot be choosy in picking its energy resources it is few of its own and most of its neighbors are not willing to shave theirs which is why i saw secure imagery is a hot issue in the middle east when we can get it over we can go think we should and for the last six years israelis have been getting a lot of it from egypt and under water pipeline pumps natural gas from the egyptian city of wish to the israeli port of ashkelon. but the revolution in egypt supported by the united states is backfiring on israel the interim cairo government says it's not obliged to sell gas to israel and is pushing to negotiate the agreement i did who really wants for several each option papers from israel he says the deal was
12:08 am
always unpopular among egyptians to give people a. car. these businesses. are not the. people the egyptian public prosecutor has since ordered an investigation into the deal former president hosni mubarak contributes sons are accused of having personally benefited from it which doesn't surprise you also of poet ski who set up the natural gas system in israel he was against the deal from the start not least because it was signed between israel and the east mediterranean gas company which is registered offshore and has no assets in egypt it was obvious . in his which were across the in the arab world and it was also very obvious that one if the president is not. is not going to rule egypt then of course the whole contract is not worth the paper it's written on
12:09 am
the east mediterranean gas company declined our request for an interview egypt's natural gas supplies about forty to fifty percent of the electricity power stations in israel it can be replaced by the fuels but they're more expensive and dirty here which is why boys are right is blogging frenetically online he writes about green issues and says the alternative options that israel has to the egyptian supplies are not that attractive to we'll get into high price. a lot of. much more pollutants than the us and the fact that we didn't develop a. plant planting crying will cause us to much more than we could. call station in place and work in. if no agreement with cairo is reached tel of it is going to have to function without natural gas for a year and so israelis are stepping up efforts to develop gas wells now being discovered offshore but these two remain a source of dispute between israel and lebanon as beirut claims that there's either
12:10 am
way the gas issue is likely to keep heating up policy r.t. television. what a night to live from moscow here's a quick taste of what's still ahead in the program a paragon of myths it doesn't know where you are then six billion dollars sent to iraq is disappearing. and lack of psychological and emotional help is waning for russia's record breaking the rate of teen suicides. japan says six more workers at a nuclear plants have been exposed to radiation bringing the total number to eight this is a highly toxic material was detected in seawater and groundwater added facility allen straw and sham believed to cause cancer has been found in concentrations two hundred times the safe limit for plants reactors were damaged and nine magnitude earthquake three months ago triggering radiation leaks scientists now fear some

the coalition provisional authority had been shut down in june of zero four. iraqi officials are threatening court action to reclaim the mine political analyst raytheon from the voice of russia radio station believes it's only a matter of time before baghdad sues for the missing funds it would say they probably have some legal claim to that money and a legitimate claim to go to court the u.s. has already said that it took those the money from the oil from those from the oil fields they've already taken the money they've seized to in the sanctions against. hussein's iraq so the money is legitimately the iraqis the question is again if the u.s. government can't find the money they'll have to come up with it some way so my feeling is that. they do have some claim that assimilates and we proclaim and it's going to take some time to want the courts which of records they choose to go through probably international courts to get this money back. moscow is concerned
12:16 am
with washington's reluctance to consider proposals for a joint anti-missile defense system in europe the u.s. and nato claim the proposal could sand off a potential attack from iran however russia is worried the plans could pose a threat to national security. the phased adaptive approach to missile defense is broken up into two parts the number one and number two were the low. potency interceptor plus one interceptors. are online from phases three and four where the higher speed interceptors will be brought on line and our analysis shows if the system is reconfigured a little bit that it will have some ability against russian i.c.b.m. so there is some. legitimate concern from from the russian side as to the technical ability in principle offices them being able to intercept russian i.c.b.m. . even neither the first phases nor the second phases would really have an ability against rogue state i.c.b.m.'s anybody who can make. ballistic missiles
12:17 am
can also put decoys on the missile on to overcome the defenses and we won't be getting anything extra by going to the higher potency interceptors the block two interceptors which are due to come on. after twenty eighteen so neither the the first two phases nor the second two phases will have much inherent ability. against . the rogue state threats. and hear more from dr use of and fifteen minutes here on our team. now let's take a look at some other stories from around the world and the international monetary fund has four listed two candidates to become its new managing director a french finance minister christine lagarde of mexican central bank she's with us in carson this will fight it out for the top job make a decision by the end of june following the resignation of former chief dominic
