nato fights to destroy children to colonel gadhafi forces innocent people in oil rich in libya suffering the effects of the country's energy crisis. israel's a cheap gas is fading fast with egypt seeking a rethink over a key energy store to benefit only the jewish state and the mubarak family. and a lack of emotional support and blame for russia's record breaking figures of suicides among teenagers. a very warm welcome to you this is r.t.

live from moscow. now as nato tells the world to prepare for a. coalition bombs continue to blitz the libyan capital. snake through tripoli with fuel in short supply it's a scenario made worse as tankers become a regular target for strikes. reports 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 keys at his pastoral stations the international sanctions imposed on the embattled colonel's regime did not include a few and. that nato is targeting. if suspected the fuel might be used by gadhafi military forces with roads closed factories at a stop and foreign workers long since gone from the war stricken country facing its worst energy crisis ever the new reality is ordinarily been driver is now spend

vast amount. time queuing for fuel two months ago this became a common theme here maybe in a rich country people have been lining up to fill up their cars for hours even days but this line is a little different compared to the gas station at the end of life here is the limit only and barker is a university student and has volunteered here to help organize the process she stamps few russian boots which allow individuals thirty five liters a week she believes it's a great idea to have women on the station as. women have too many things to do they don't fight each other while queuing and never should change of the year is men are in the so we are able to serve up to nine hundred cars in the lot of to look at me this line is long but others are even longer petrels to cheaper than 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 lock cars and return wintry appears that could be days. when 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. for the needle surrounded us but we should move on so we try to do our best to help people get by if we give up will die will be it's 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 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 a crime. while the war in size try to find a way out of months of devastating conflict. people looking for

a way to just leave the every day lives g. many times when they still would be with a distant memory. not cheaply. meantime a us radio host and 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. it's an imperial agenda the un is a fig leaf for pursuing imperial war and libya as in africa at large they want to carve up the country sees its resources and on a basis of constant military intervention and population and so is the target its resources will be usurped chlorate for the benefit of foreign oil companies in the ninety ninety s. that gadhafi regime was controlled by the central intelligence agency and khadafi privatized three hundred six companies and libyan oil was handed over to the major

oil companies exxon shell the immobile but the uprising was the occasion for the intervention and demonizing khadafi as they had saddam hussein and previously as a cover and pretext 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 the oil subjugating the population the population does not benefit from their natural resources because they had the disposal of foreign corporations on behalf of the united states in the western powers the resources go outward to the foreign corporations that control them the population is a mystery aided 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 them. well 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 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 depleted uranium is being used near did everything that we see leaving 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 he specifically said yes that he had a metallic taste in his mouth that have spoken to people and the one question that they asked me over and over and over again is why that is the question. and so when i go back to the states i'm going to try and ask that question why why is this happening certainly it is not for humanitarian reasons because what is being caused by nato is a humanitarian catastrophe. and there you can watch the full version of this interview in about twenty minutes time right here on c well or israel's long established energy 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 artie's reports israel's options fast running out. israel cannot be choosy in picking its energy resources it has few of its own and most of its neighbors are not willing to shave is which is why sourcing secure energy is a hot issue in the middle east when ever we can get it and 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 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 a different rewrites for several each option papers from israel he says the deal was always unpopular among egyptians to give. you no car to.

get this business. not be. 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 you also of poets 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 obvious that one if the president is not. is a go 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 by other fuels but they're more expensive and dirty which is why boys are right as 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 it in the high price and we'll need to burn a lot of muscle to choose much more pollutants in the us and the fact that we didn't develop the coral plants electric plant in time will cause us to look much more than we could. station in working these days if no agreement with cairo is reached tel aviv is going to have to function without natural gas for a year and so he's radial 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's either way the gas issue is likely to keep heating up. and so now ten

minutes past the hour here in moscow your with are still ahead for you in the program disappeared without a trace the pentagon admits it doesn't know where more than six billion dollars in aid for office. plus with russia having europe's highest rate of teen suicides take a look at what drives hundreds of young people every year to take their own lives. in japan six more fukushima workers engaged in cleaning up the wreckage facility have been exposed to dangerously high radiation levels that brings the total number of victims to eight this comes as traces of a highly toxic element were detected in see the groundwater at the nuclear plant radioactive strontium believed to cause cancer and leukemia has been found at concentrations two hundred times the safe limit the massive earthquake that hit japan three months ago caused radiation leaks from fukushima as damaged reactors

scientists now fear that some of the rules of contamination are higher than those following the noble catastrophe. well we're already seeing out particles in tokyo particle means the radioactive particles are really small thinner than a day out under your air in tokyo and all throughout the fukushima prefecture and interesting they were also seen on the west coast of the united states so airborne radiation it lodges in your longs or your g.i. track it's 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 woods hole prominent research institute has said that the pacific ocean now 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 than after chernobyl. well if you have. you can always catch up on a life at all it's always more stories to explore for example the pentagon the house of the world as a proposes that the u.s. responds to cyber attacks with a military force. and a russian to prove that disability is no obstacle to converse eleven thousand kilometers on a cross-country trek on his electric buggy more of a journey at bottom phone call so you can see more videos on you tube. is he.

a funeral something she may not be the best and everything and hank herself with the genders and she will have been getting ready for the example weeks down believing that was the one who was the hardest of all she saw her marriage of math problems and she was very nervous she wanted to graduate isn't a grade 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 in teenagers killed themselves every year that's much higher than the average scene in the united states and britain. the problem is so out of hand that when i was informing the president's about it he found it hard to believe but the figures are truly frightening every year up to four thousand children make attempts on their lives this is. girls are apt to four times more

likely to attempt suicide it's two boys who by a long way actually succeed in killing themselves bigger is different his try to take his life three times the latest the time 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 piece what's driving the problem in russia is what experts call a low emotional literacy psychological or psychiatric help is underdeveloped and not easily available then there is the stigma given most the most suicides are attempted committed in the state of emotional distress which builds over time and there are warning signs but even if parents notice that many would rather ignore them than to take their kid to a psychologist or psychiatrist 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 it catered to children who've 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 santror of this over only wicket bigger sounds of one that seems policy frightening almost commonplace yet it represents what experts say is the main reason why russia is leading europe and the number of teen suicides about ice and difference seeing no evil hearing now cries out of work or artsy. now one of europe's largest lakes is about to play host to some rather unexpected guests to a russian deep sea subs make their first dive into the depths of switzerland's lake geneva the cutting edge technology will be collecting data on the geology and the physics they like it will also test just how clean the waters will strengthen by

thousands of swiss and french every day many subs are famous for the expeditions of the titanic wreck site the north pole and russia's lake baikal vessels can function as deep as six thousand meters but this time they'll only pump to about three hundred the deepest point of lake. you're. well the debate continues over whether the financial meltdown of two thousand and eight was a natural disaster well the result of a wall street fraud and government inaction but our finance no wall next kaiser says what the u.s. is experiencing is a quote economic. you got a complete meltdown in two thousand and eight when hank paulson went to congress to get two hundred seven hundred fifty billion dollars but because the regulators on wall street are owned by wall street you had an economic meltdown which is happening in real time you know i think about people like lloyd blankfein c.e.o. of goldman sachs he's like that he's like that monster from alien you know it

starts to drip through the spacecraft like yours lloyd blankfein is like. and he's just destroying things because of the toxicity of the derivatives that goldman spewed out of their toxic organs into the spaceship earth. you can watch the cars report in just over an hour's time here on our team but first let's get this hour's business update here. hello and a very warm welcome time to delve into the world of business russia has resumed electricity supplies to belarus power generator into rao house report he resumed all power transmission after the troubled country promised to pay the fifteen million dollars owed by the fifty fifth of july although batteries says

a transit country supplies to the baltic countries were not affected. belarus the still facing one of the steepest economists economic crisis in decades inflation is spiraling out of control and is expected to reach forty percent this year but russia and its c.i.s. neighbors have come to the rescue with a three billion dollar loan the head of the eurasian energy 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 the g q start russia has pulled in seven point five billion dollars has put in one billion dollars other countries have also contributed but smaller amounts every law is the key to the contributors to the funds in the proportion and which the contributors to the fund which means that if you look at the total structure of the fund russia has provided

above eighty percent of the total and this means that the russian contribution will be babied so what is important to explain is that we actually do not have these amount 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 is eight hundred fifty million dollars all 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 once we use this initial contribution would go to. the member countries requesting that they provide more cash within this limits of eight point five billion dollars. versus economy continues to plummet as ratings agency standard and poor's got its credit rating from beach triple seat making it the worst in the world agency it says there's a significantly higher likelihood want to be false as the risks for the like restructuring continue to grow as well see how this has affected the markets asian
