12:04 am
vast amounts of time queuing for few months ago this became a company in the 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 given only a marker is a universe to student and has volunteered here to help organize the process she stamps a few russian books which allow individuals thirty five liters a week she believes it's a great idea to have women on the station as. the women have too many things to do they don't fight each other world cueing and never shoot into the year is men often do so we're able to serve up to nine hundred cars were de facto enough to look at me this line is long but others are ruben longer patrols to cheaper than water here just a few cents for a litter it's just that is often in short supply. if there is no fuel we have to
12:05 am
leave our cars and return reentry appears that could be days. when only gas stations is one of many innovations supposed to ease people's lives in a country in cares there are also special problems for ambulances and police cars. but the needle surrounded us but we should. we try to do our best to help people get by if we give up will die a lot 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 imperialists. need nato damaged our city destroyed our life they told us they want to save people is that the way to save the people tell me this is just a crime. while the warring sides try to find a way out of months of devastating conflict ordinary people looking for
12:06 am
a way to just leave their every day lives dreaming about times when these nightmare would be with a distant memory. tripoli. former u.s. congresswoman and presidential candidate sensorium mckinney's 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 that to affect the way people think about what they're doing and that's exactly
12:07 am
what has been happening here and maybe with nato 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 master 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. hospital there was one patient who could matt tell his story because he was still in shock there were patients there children head wounds that looked like they came from very specialized weapons and so the issue of exactly
12:08 am
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 geophysicist at. lawrence livermore a laboratory and she told me that if there was a metallic taste of the dust in our. mal's more than likely it was depleted uranium 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 was that there was a metallic taste. israel's long established an energy agreement could be about 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
12:09 am
renegotiated as are its u.s. policy reports israel's allergy 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 sourcing secure energy is a hot issue in the middle east when ever we can get it over we can do i 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 to the israeli port of ashkelon. but the revolution in egypt supported by the united states is backfiring on israel the interim government says it's not obliged to sell gas to israel and is pushing to renegotiate the agreement i did her rewrites for several each option papers from israel he says the deal was always unpopular among egyptians to give. you know.
12:10 am
this business is. not. keeping 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 yourself poet skee 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 the cheap date in is which were a custom in the arab world and it was also very obvious that one day if the president is not. is god is not going to rule egypt then of course the whole contract is not worth the paper it's written on 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
12:11 am
it can be replaced by other fuels but they're more expensive and dirty which is why boys a ride 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 the getting high price and we need to burn a lot of. much more pollutants. and the fact that we didn't develop coral plants electric planting time will cause us to much more than we could have. called station in place and working. if no agreement with cairo is reached television 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 way the gas issue is likely to keep heating up or r.t.
12:12 am
tell of of. but tonight you live from moscow here's a quick taste of what's still ahead in the program pal god of myths it doesn't now where more than six billion dollars sent to iraq is disappearing. and a lack of psychological and emotional health is blamed for russia's record breaking rate of teen suicides. japan says six more workers at the fukushima nuclear plant have been exposed to radiation bringing the total number to eight this is a highly toxic material was detected in seawater and groundwater add a facility to allen and straw and sham believed to cause cancer has been found in concentrations two hundred times the safe limit the plant's reactors were damaged in a nine magnitude earthquake three months ago triggering radiation leaks scientists now fear is some levels of contamination are higher than those following the turn obl catastrophe. well we're already seeing out particles in
12:13 am
tokyo particle means the radioactive particles are really small thinner than that they are under your air in tokyo and all throughout the fukushima prefecture and interestingly we're also seeing them on the west coast of the united states so airborne radiation that lodges in your lungs or your g.i. tract is certainly in japan and on the west coast the the oceans are still becoming more or contaminated not less and i think over the next year or so you'll see the big fish that truly are in the salmon. because this will work its way up the food chain i think you'll see more and more radiation being detected in the top of the food chain fish as well that would whole prominent research institute has said that the pacific ocean is ten times more contaminated there was the the ocean well the seas near chernobyl at the peak of the action so the oceans are worse now

12:15 am
the official. from the. video. and. the palm of your. it's the largest theft of funds in national history that's what american auditor say about six point six billion dollars of missing aid money for iraq the pentagon is closing the books on a reconstruction program in the war torn country but still cannot account for the missing cash a former bush administration official and author of the book america's failure in iraq michael bryant claims the money went missing under general petraeus as watch.
12:16 am
all of this stuff was going on while david petraeus was the commander of the multinational security transition command in iraq or min sticky in zero four and zero five and this is the same period of time that one hundred ninety thousand a k forty seven zero nine millimeter pistol pistols purchased by the us government for the iraqi army national police disappeared i also want to say that i have a personal friend i will mention his name who was a very senior u.s. american finance and budget official during this period of time and he told me that when david petraeus was there there was no accountability at all for american money and that david petraeus continued to spend the iraqi money six months after the c.p.a. the coalition provisional authority had been shut down in june of zero four. iraqi officials are threatening court action to reclaim the money political analyst from
12:17 am
the voice of russia radio station believes it's only a matter of time before baghdad sues for the missing funds but would say they probably have some legal claim to that money and a lot of it 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 that money they seized it 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 to this money some legal claim and it's going to take some time to want to the courts whichever courts they choose to go through probably international courts to get this money back moscow is concerned with washington's reluctance to consider proposals for a joint anti-missile defense system and you are the u.s. and nato claim that proposal could sand off a potential attack from iran however russia is worried the plans could pose
12:18 am
a threat to national security. the phase adoptive approach to missile defense is broken up into two parts number one and number two where that low. potency interceptor plus one interceptor. 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 off the system 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. anybody who can make. a list of missiles can also put decoys on the missile on to overcome the defense. and you we won't be getting anything extra by going to the
12:19 am
higher potency interceptors the block two interceptors which are due to come online after twenty eighteen so neither the the first two phases nor the second two phases will have much inherent ability. against. the. the rogue state threat. and hear more from dr use of fifteen minutes here on our. 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 chief was asked and karstens will fight it out for the top job will make a decision by the end of june following the resignation of former chief dominic strauss kahn who was arrested on sexual assault charges and allegations.

what experts call a low emotional literacy psychological or psyche. help is underdeveloped and not easily available. there is the stigma. committed in the state of emotional distress which builds over time. even if parents notice that many would rather ignore them than to take their kid to a psychologist or psychiatrist which added to that continuing social and economic shift making it harder for parents to provide for their children leaving little time for talking and listening this morning meant is that they cater to children who have fallen victim to adult biases alcoholism drug abuse prostitution and i want to those can drive a child to take his or her own life but in the center of this over only wicket figure stands one that seems wallace frightening almost commonplace yet it represents what experts say is the main reason why russia is leading europe in the

12:25 am
russia and its c.i.s. neighbors have come to the rescue with a three billion dollar loan ahead of the regime and a crisis funding explains why the mound is about right. if you pump too much into too much money into any corner me even the american economy or you know you pump too much money into the russian economy what you will get inflation you actually have to look at the benefits of investments you have to choose the investments which are the most profitable productive you should not rush into a very large program because if you try to implement very large investment programs chances are and this happened in many many countries in the world that you will build what are called the white elephants so you will build projects which do not benefit the national economy for below is the limit is one point seventy eight dollars the loan which is given and the reason for this is the need financial need of bill where we see now is significant the financial loan of three billion dollars
12:26 am
is actually spread over three years it will be given in six transfers each tranche will cover of six months and each tranche will support a specific list of measures which the government itself formulates so this is why because this debilitation problem was so convincing the decision has been made that we exceed the limit and to do this the statutory documents of the fund allow member country to share the limit to pass a portion of its limits to the borrower this is what happened. and chris economy continues to plummet as ratings agency standard and poor's qantas credit rating from b. to triple c. its lowest debt the agency says significantly high likelihood or one of more to falls as the risks for the likely restructuring continue to grow it's not see how this has affected the markets asian stocks opened low on the news again positive after china released reports that showed industrial output grew more than expected

narrow trading creech is also volatility of a lot of jumps companies so sectors driven by global and use local capitalist but i don't think that we are going to see any strong. arising in russia to crystallise all those next few weeks i think the vote to it is a name of the game and i think most people reduce russia among lonely funds to a neutral margin over a position and they're probably still a there for a while we expect a recovery of the market but not during the next few weeks. that's all we have time for now more business news and less than one last time.
