a very warm welcome to you this is r.t. live from moscow. now as nato tells the world to prepare for a post cut off in iraq coalition bombs continue to lets the libyan capital. sneak through tripoli with fuel in short supply it's a scenario made worse as tankers become a regular target for air strikes me as more of a national reports on civilians caught up in a brutal conflict. it's may have some of the largest oil reserves on the planet but these days neighbors also guard some of the longest keys as pastoral stations international sanctions imposed on the embattled colonel's regime did not include a few and. that major is targeting time to lorries if this passes the fuel might be used by gadhafi is military forces with roads closed factories at the start and foreign workers long since gone from they war stricken country labor is facing its

worst energy crisis ever the new realities ordinarily when driver is now spend vast amount. time queuing for a few months ago this became a common theme here in the. country people have been lining up to fill up their cars it was even days but this line is a little different compared to the gas station i began to lift here is the limit only america is a universe to students and has volunteered here to help all denies the process she stamps q russian boots which allow individuals thirty five liters a week she believes it's a great idea to have women on the station is. all asian impulse and women have too many things to do they don't fight each other while queuing and never should change of the year is now in the us so we're able to serve up to nine hundred cars as i don't have to look at me because line is long but others are even longer petrels to

cheaper than the water here just a few cents for later it's just that is often in short supply. if there is no fuel we have to lose our cars and return reentry appeals that could be dames. women only gas stations is one of many innovations supposed to ease people's lives in a country that has their also special problems for ambulances and police cars. on the part of the middle surrounded us but we should move on so we try to do our best to help people get by if we give up. will be here 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 imperially soon i need to nato damaged our city destroyed our life they told us they want to save the people is that the way to seize the people tell me this is just to grind eat while the war

in size try to find their way out of months of devastating conflict. people are looking for a way to just leave it every day life's g. many times when they start to plan would leave a distant memory. not see chiefly. meantime a u.s. radio host on peace activist ralph schoenman says that nato is so in its own interests in the region by bombing libya he says the libyan people are being exploited by the greed of some western nations has an imperial agenda the un is a fig leaf for pursuing and carry a war and in libya as in africa at large they want to carve up the country sees its resources and bases of constant military intervention and the population itself is the target its resources will be usurped need florrie for the benefit of foreign oil companies in the ninety ninety s.

because of a regime was controlled by the central intelligence agency and could often privatized three hundred six companies and libyan oil was handed over to the major own companies exxon shell. but the uprising was the occasion for the intervention and demonizing khadafi as they had saddam hussein in previously as a cover and pretexts saddam was their man in baghdad for twenty seven years khadafi had worked hand in glove with the cia and with congolese arise in the ninety's but they demonize him now to give them cover for engender out of season three oil subjugating the population of copulation does not benefit from their natural resources because they had to disposal of foreign corporations on behalf of the united states and the western powers the resources go outward to foreign corporations that control them the population is in this aerated countries with great wealth but they don't enjoy the benefit of it because of the class character

of the regime and the nature of imperial power that controls and installs these regimes and maintains. former congresswoman and presidential candidate cynthia mckinney is on a fact finding mission in libya she says she's spoken to people on the ground and found that nato could be bombing the country with radioactive substances. we have reports that depleted uranium is being used we know that there are the missiles that are coming down the bunker buster bombs that are being used if depleted uranium is being used here then everything that we see green is contaminated i have spoken with some. experts scientists scientists who are familiar with the telltale signs of depleted uranium use one is how the particulate matter tastes in your mouth if there is a metallic taste and of course since i've been here in the been

a lot lot of bombings i have asked around about the metallic taste one of the persons that i brought with me is an attorney and i asked him and he specifically said yes. he had a metallic taste in his mouth to have spoken to people and the one question that they asked me over and over and over again is why on may that is the question. and so when i go back to the states i'm going to try and ask that question god why is this happening certainly it is not for humanitarian reasons because what is being caused by nature is a humanitarian catastrophe. and you can watch the full version of his interview in about twenty minutes time

right here on. israel's long established energy agreement with egypt could soon go up into flames the original gas deal was set up by president barack but now post revolution cairo is demanding that the terms renegotiated and artie's paul it's clear reports israel's options are fast running out of. israel cannot be choosey in picking its energy resources it is few of its own and most of its neighbors are not willing to share theirs which is why outsourcing secure in a jeep is a hot issue in the middle east when ever we can get it wherever we can give it 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 al irish 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 renegotiate the agreement i did who rewinds for several papers from israel he says the deal was

always unpopular among egyptians to give him. you know. this business is. not. keeping people the gyptian 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 and 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 that the. cost of 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 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 but it feels like they're more expensive and dirtier which is why boys are right is plugging frenetically online he writes about green issues and says the alternative options that israel has to the egyptian supplies are not that attractive so we will get it in the high price and. in a lot of. much more pollutants. and the fact that we didn't develop. plants planting crying will cause us to much more than we could. call station in place and we're. if no agreement with cairo is reached tel aviv 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

japan three months ago caused radiation leaks from fukushima damaged reactors scientists now fear that some levels of contamination are higher than those following the china noble catastrophe. well we're already seeing articles in tokyo where a particle means a radioactive particle really small better than a day out under your air in tokyo and all throughout the fukushima prefecture an interesting lee we're also seeing them on the west coast of the united states so airborne radiation lodges in your lungs here and shii track 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 you know 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 primary research institute has said that the pacific ocean now is

ten times more contaminated then was the the ocean and that the seas near chernobyl at the peak of the action so the oceans are worse now than air friction or. well if you have missed anything on air you can always catch up on the line at our team talk always more stories a few to explore for example the pentagon the house of the world all right hold as a proposes that the u.s. responds to cyber attacks with military force. and a russian man sets out to prove that visibility is no obstacle to cars eleven thousand kilometers on a cross-country trek on his electric buggy i was more of a journey a cartoon phone call from our past so you can see more of our eye catching videos on our you tube channel. is easy.
