fueling tension as nato fights to strip colonel gadhafi forces of vile oil the alliance is accused of forcing innocent libyans to run on empty. israel's flow of cheap gas is drying up egypt wants to rethink a key energy deal that's thought to benefit only the jewish state and the barge family and. the lack of emotional support is blamed for russia's record breaking figures of suicides among teenagers. this is r t live from moscow with marina joshua welcome as nato tells the world to

prepare for a post get off the air a coalition bombs continue to blitz still leaving capitol petrol queues snakes through tripoli with fuel in short supply a scenario made worse as tankers become a regular target for airstrikes artie's where you finish the records on civilians caught up in a brutal conflict. it may have some of the largest oil reserves on the planet but these days labor is also god some of the longest queues at his petrol stations the international sanctions imposed on the embattled colonel's regime did not include a few and. that nato is targeting tank a law is if suspected the fuel might be used by gadhafi as military forces with roads closed factories at a stop and foreign workers long since gone from the war stricken country is facing its worst energy crisis ever the new realities ordinarily been drivers now spend vast amounts of time queuing for few months ago this became a common thing. in the 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 life here is the limit only barker is a university 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 only stations. 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. this line is long but others are ruben longer patrols till 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 live 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 move on. we try to do our best to help people get by if we give up. 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 and they too 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 trying 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 the man would be

with a distant memory. tripoli. as nato attacks continue former u.s. congresswoman and presidential candidates in z a mckinney isn't a fact finding mission to libya to see for herself how tripoli copes with the onslaught she claims that washington is telling half truths to its people. 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 they're the propaganda and they do use that to affect the way people think about what they're doing and that's exactly what is been happening here and they live with nato and so i thought i would come here with a delegation of journalists so that we could understand the truth and then tell the

truth to the people yesterday. university was hit which was formerly known as nasser university and i visited a hospital there was one patient who could not tell his story. because he was still in shock there were patients there who had 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 geophysicist. lawrence livermore a laboratory and she told me that if there was a metallic taste of the dust in our mal's then more than likely it was depleted uranium saw i did

a brief survey of those with me because one day there were eighty nine blasts and yes the response that i got was that there was a metallic taste of course i have had this taste as well. israel's long established an agreement with egypt could soon go up in flames the original gas deal was set up by president mubarak but now post revolution cairo is demanding that the terms are renegotiated and as our reports israel's 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 go wherever we can go 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 elevation to be 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 renegotiate the agreement i did who rewinds for several each option papers from israel he says the deal was always unpopular among egyptians egyptian people. you know. this. is. 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 yourself 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 the cheap date in . which were a custom in the arab world and it was also very over the one if the president is

not. is a girl is not going to rule egypt 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 it can be replaced by the fuels but they're more expensive and dirty which is why boys a rod is blogging phonetically 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. a lot of muscle which is much more pollutants in the us and the fact that we didn't develop. electric planting trying will cause us to much more than we could. call station in place and working. if no

agreement with cairo is reached tel aviv is going to have to function without natural gas for a year and some israelis will 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 they there is either way the gas issue is likely to keep heating up. television. watching r.t. live from moscow here's a quick taste of what's still had in the program disappearance without a trace the pentagon admits it doesn't know where more than six billion dollars for iraq has gone. plus with russia having you europe's highest rate of teen suicide we take a look at why drives hundreds of young people every year take their own lives. before that in japan six more fukushima workers engaged in the cleanup of the facility al been exposed to dangerously high radiation levels bringing the total number of

victims to eight comes as traces of highly toxic elements were detected in c. and groundwater at the nuclear plant radioactive strontium believed to cause cancer and leukemia has been found at concentrations two hundred times the safe limit a massive earthquake that hit japan three months ago caused radiation leaks from fukushima is damage reactors scientists now fear that some levels of contamination are higher than those following the church novel catastrophe. well we're already seeing articles in tokyo particle means the radioactive particles are really small better than a day you know 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 longs 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. i think over the next year or so you'll see the big

fish that tuna and 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 woods hole prominent research institute has said that the pacific ocean now is ten times more contaminated then was the the ocean well the seas near chernobyl at the peak of the accident so the oceans are worse now than after chernobyl. and if you miss something we're covering on air and online and are always more stories there for you to explore here's a taste of the pentagon as the world rattled as opposed to the u.s. response to cyber attacks with military force. and a russian man sets out to prove that disability is no obstacle as he covers eleven thousand kilometers in a cross-country travel his electric buggy what's more in his journey out are to see more of our eye catching videos and all you tube channel.

is. the official. video. on. the palm of your. machine. it's the largest staff of funds

a national history and that's what american auditor say about six point six billion dollars of aid money for iraq that's disappeared the pentagon is closing the books on a reconstruction program and 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 o'brien claims the money was lost on their. watch. 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. moscow is concerned 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 phase adoptive approach to missile defense is broken up into two parts number one and number two where the. potency interceptors the plus one interceptor. are on line from phases three and four where the higher speed interceptors will be brought online 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 of the system being able to intercept. even neither the first phases nor the second phase is really an ability against rogue state anybody who can make. ballistic missiles can also put decoys on the missile on to overcome the defenses and you won't be getting anything extra by going to the higher potency interceptors the block to interceptors which are due to come online after twenty eighteen so neither the first two pages nor the second two phases have much inherent ability. against. the rogue state threats. and

hear more from dr use of fifteen minutes time here on our team before that there was take a look at what else is making headlines around the world and seven republican presidential candidates have gathered for the first debate of the two thousand and twelve campaign president holds that is criticizing president obama over his handling surround of the economy and health care reform policies and in libya. however critics say the candidates focused too much on obama's fault rather than their own policies the first primary elections do not take place. the u.n. has found that unemployment in gaza over forty five percent was among the highest in the world in late two thousand and ten the report shows an ongoing crisis in the strip with continuing effects from israel's blockade imposed on gaza in two thousand and six after an israeli soldier was snatched by a group of militants the restrictions were tightened a year later when hamas won elections ousting rival fatah from the territory. the

international monetary fund is shortlisted two candidates to become its new managing director french finance minister christine lagarde and a mexican central bank chief agustin carstens will fight it out for the top job this follows the resignation of former chief dominic strauss kahn who was arrested on sexual assault charges and allegations he denies the i.m.f. will make a decision by the end of june. next week sees the trial in a former tunisian president ben ali who fled to saudi arabia in january following mass protest against his twenty three year rule leader faces several charges including conspiring against the state voluntary manslaughter and drug trafficking he has slammed the trial as a masquerade. now russia suffers one of the highest rates of teen suicide in the world according to recent school polls ways to commit suicide was one of the most popular internet searches amongst teenagers are jesus on a boy who looks at what drives young people to take their own lives. just days

before final exams a t.v. crew was reporting and students gearing up for their lives that lay had of them the teachers pointed to the broader student who it seemed had her future figured out which way should play station i want to become a journalist because it's a very interesting and creative profession which would have been tossed to the water with this yet but instead of a school living celebration pulling his classmates gathered like a funeral something she may not be the best she ended everything and hank herself with agendas and she would have been getting ready for the example weeks down believing i was the one who works it hardest of all she saw her load of math problems and she was very nervous she wanted to graduate isn't a great student. in many countries this chasseur exams in late december and early june sees peaks in the number of children taking their own lives but in russia it's

a year round problem roughly one and a half thousand children and teenagers kill themselves every year it's much higher than the average seen in the united states and britain. the problem is so out of hand that when i was a filming the president's about it he found it hard to believe that the figures are truly frightening every year thousands children make attempts on their lives. girls are up to four times more likely to attempt suicide yet it's still boys who by a long way actually succeed in killing themselves bigger is different his try to take his life three times the latest attempt just six months ago. i just had enough i was tired of fighting with my mom my girlfriend left me i was fed up with studying i couldn't stand seeing the streets and hearing all this noise i just wanted everything to end and i want to peace what's driving the problem in russia is what x. brits call a low emotional literacy psychological or psyche. help is on to develop the north

easily available then there is the stigma. committed in the state of emotional distress which builds over time. even if parents notice that many would rather take their kid to a psychologist or psychiatrist which added to that continuing social and economic shifts making it harder for parents to provide for their children leaving little time for talking and listening this morning meant is that it catered to children who have fallen victim to adult vices alcoholism drug abuse prostitution and i want to of those can drive a child to take his or her own life but then the fancher of this overly wicket figures thousands one that since wallace frightening almost commonplace represents what experts say is the main reason why russia is living here up in the number of teen suicides and that isn't difference seeing no evil hearing now cries

sounded like an artsy. well a little later we enter a world of hills fills an adrenaline region that ten turned deadly in a matter of seconds. one stream from. you is mr much. more than two hundred kilometers. to. watch our special report in just over an hour here on our t.v. and in just a few minutes we explore russia's concerns about washington and nato is flan missile to fans network in europe before that there will take a look what's happening in the world of business with yulia.

hello that's right time for your business update good to have a company russia has resumed electricity supplies to better routes apology and rater into rather has reported a resumed all power transmission after the troubled country promised to pay the fifty million dollars owed by the fifth of july although belarus is the transit countries supplies to the ports of countries were not affected. but there was the still facing one of the steepest economic crises in decades inflation is spiraling out of control and is expected to reach forty percent this year alone but russia and its c.i.s. neighbors have come to the rescue with a three billion dollars the head of the eurasian anti-crisis fund explains who is contributing what. the fund now has eight and the how billion dollars slightly more than eight about how billion dollars six countries in questions are remaining kazakhstan kyrgyzstan russia and start brushing sport in seven point

five billion dollars has put in one billion dollars in other countries have also contributed but smaller amounts. is the key to the contributors to the funds in the proportion in which the contributor to the front which means that if you look at the total structure of the fund russia has provided the bold eighty percent of the total in this means that the russian contribution will be about peterson what is important to explain is that we actually do not have these mountain of money the way the fund works is countries have made the initial contribution of ten percent cash so ten percent of eight point five eight hundred fifty million dollars for this initial contribution the first appear regions of the fund the first loans which the fund is giving to its member countries have been funded including a part of the bill that was slow and once we use this initial contribution we go to the member countries requesting that they provide more cash within the limits of eight point five billion dollars. and curses economy continues to plummet as

ratings agency standard and poor's got discouraged ranging from b. to triple c. making it the worst in the world the agency says there's a significantly higher likelihood of one of more g. falls as the risks for the likely restructuring continue to grow as well see how this has affected the markets asian stocks opened lower but turned positive after china announced stronger than expected industrial output figures the nikkei finished up more than a percent on the had same was basically unchanged. chinese data is also giving a lift to well with branch trading at one hundred nineteen dollars a barrel and at ninety seven dollars the market is also factoring in expectations sour. the arabia will pump more courage after failing to clinch an output boost by opec. markets in europe are up in early trade with banks and mine is leading gains investors appear to be shaking off that downgrade of bruce's credit rating but it says more than one percent higher say it's

sector probably because of the for choices. and another fertilizer producer for sagrera has confirmed plans for initial public offering in london and moscow the company received the go ahead from the country's federal service for financial markets to offer up to twenty one percent of its total share capital but valuation has not been disclosed but initial reports said facade grow is seeking upward of five hundred million dollars. that's it for now you're up to date get more stories more website or to dot com slash business and join me in less than one more.
