news live from the center of moscow this is r.t. reception as a nato tells the world to prepare for a post could after iraq coalition bombs continue to blitz the libyan capital petrol queues a snake through tripoli with fuel in short supply scenario made worse as time has become a regular target for strikes. are 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 labor is also god some of the longest keys as pastoral stations the international sanctions imposed on the battles colonels regime to not include a few and. that nato is targeting tanks is this practice if you might be used by gadhafi his military forces. with roads closed factories at

a stop and foreign workers losses 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 theme here in the arab country people have been lining up to fill up their cars even days baseline is a little different compared to the gas station at the end of a few is women only a marker is a university student and has been emptied here to help organize the process she stamps russian boots which allow individuals thirty five liters a week she believes it's a great idea to have been on the stations. all asian impact the women have too many things to do they don't fight each other world queuing and never should change of the year is now in the so we are unable to serve a few nine hundred cars. don't have to look at me because line is long but others

are ruben longer petrels still cheaper than water here just a few cents for a liter it's just that is often in short supply. if there is no fuel we have to live our cars and return reentry appears it could be days. women only gas stations is one of many innovations supposed to ease people's lives in a country who cares there are also special problems for ambulances and police cars . on the bottom of the middle surrounded us but we should move on we try to do our best to help people get by if we give up. obviously 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 imperialism and need to and they do damage to our city. destroyed our life they tell does they want to save

people is that the way to seize the people tell me that this is just a crime. while the warring sides try to find their way out of months of devastation in conflict ordinary people looking for a way to just leave their everyday lives dreaming of our times when these nightmare would be with a distant memory. notion r t tripoli. meantime a us radio host and peace activist ralph schoenman says that nato is serving its own interests in the region by bombing libya says the libyan people are being exploited by the greed of some must and nations. kids in an area were jammed in the un as a fig leaf for a pursuing imperial war and in 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 the ploy for the benefit of foreign oil companies in the

ninety ninety s. it could die if they were g.m. 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 axon shell the immobile but the upraising was the occasion for the intervention and demonizing khadafi as they had saddam hussein in 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 absolutely oil subjugating the population the population does not benefit from their natural resources because there had been disposal of foreign corporations on behalf of the united states and the western powers and resources go outward to foreign corporations that control them the population is

a mis rated 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 the imperial power that controls and installs these regimes and maintains. former u.s. congresswoman and presidential candidate cynthia mckinney is on a fact finding mission in libya she says that not all nato has targets in libya so leave military and the people on the ground believe the alliance could be using 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 at depleted uranium is used here then everything that we see leaving these women and 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 have spoken to people and the one question that they asked me over and over and over again is. that is the question. and so when i go back to the states i'm going to try and asked that question was why is this happening certainly it is not for humanitarian reasons because what is being caused by nato is

a humanitarian catastrophe. and you can watch the full version of this interview and i just over an hour's time here on sci now. israel's long established energy agreement with egypt could soon go up in flames the regional gas deal was set up by president mubarak an hour post revolution cairo is demanding that the terms are really go shoot it and as r.t. supporters 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 is which is why outsourcing secure imagery is a hot issue in the middle east when ever we can get it and wherever 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 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 each option papers from israel he says the deal was always unpopular among egyptians to give him a. car can get this business through. it's 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 north of perth 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 . 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 of course the whole contract is not worth. 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 the fuels a 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 we will get it on the high price and. in a lot of. much more pollutants than go as. we didn't. think trying will cost. 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 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 is either way the gas issue is likely to keep heating up policy r.t. television. artie's coming to life in the heart of moscow and are still ahead in the program disappeared without a trace the u.s. defense has submitted it doesn't know where more than six billion dollars for iraq that's gone. 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 a six more fukushima workers engaged in cleaning up the wrecked facility have been exposed to dangerously high radiation levels are appearing as the official total to date this comes as traces of a highly toxic element were detected in sea and the groundwater at the nuclear

plant radioactive strontium believed to cause cancer and leukemia has been found of concentrations to one hundred times the safe limit the massive earthquake that hit japan at three months ago of course caused radiation leaks from fukushima is damaged reactors scientists and alfie have at some levels of contamination are higher than those following the chernobyl catastrophe. well we're already seeing articles in tokyo particle muser radioactive protocol really small there than a day out under your air in tokyo and all throughout the fukushima prefecture and interesting really we're also seeing them on the west coast of the united states so airborne radiation lodges in your lines 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 learn 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. woods hole from a research institute has said that the percentage otieno now is ten times more contaminated there was the the ocean well that sees near chernobyl at the peak of the action so the oceans are worse now than ever. well to bear in mind if you've missed something we're covering on air you can catch it on line twenty four satellites and always more stories that you have explored for example by the pentagon has of the world rattled as it proposes that the u.s. responds to cyber attacks with a military force. and a russian man sets out to prove the supremacy is a no obstacle was a thousand kilometers in a cross-country trek on his electric buggy much more his journey at odds and dot com see more of our eye catching videos on our child.

play host to some rather unexpected guests two russian deep sea subs will make their first dive in the depths of switzerland's lake geneva the cutting edge technology will be collecting scientific data on the lake it will also test just how clean the water system drunk right thousands of stories on french every day and many subs are famous for the expeditions of the titanic wreck site the north pole and russia's lake baikal the vessels can function at depths of up to six thousand meters but this time they'll only dive to about three hundred that's a lake county was deepest point. now it could be the largest theft of funds in national history that's what american officers say about six point six billion dollars of aid money for iraq has just disappeared the pentagon is closing the books on a reconstruction program in the water in a country but still cannot account for the missing cash a former official in the bush administration and author of the book america's failure in iraq michael o'brien claims the money was lost under the watch of

general petraeus. 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 eight hundred forty seven's or 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. and

iraq also leads our top stories from around the world at least eight people were killed during an attack on a government compound about fifty kilometers from the capital baghdad dozens more were injured as people gathered for a weekly provincial council meeting to car bombs clear the way for insurgents to storm the headquarters followed shortly by twin suicide blasts inside the building the attack mirrored an earlier al qaeda bombing in march which claimed fifty eight lives. in china migrant workers and its security forces have clashed in a town northwest of hong kong reports say hundreds of protesters took part in a rally against police brutality several emergency vehicles were torched during the incident but police using tear gas to disperse the demonstration the rioting followed days of growing unrest in the region. seven republican presidential candidates have gathered for the first debate of the two thousand and twelve campaign hopefuls criticized president obama over his handling of the economy and

health care reform as well as his policies in afghanistan and in libya however critics say the candidates are focused too much on attacking obama rather than each other the first primary elections do not take place till february. 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 carstens will fight it out for the top job as follows the resignation of former chief dominique strauss kahn who was arrested on sexual assault charges allegations he still denies the i.m.f. will make a decision by the end of june. but russia suffers one of the highest rates of teen suicide in the world according to recent school polls a way to commit suicide was one of the most popular internet searches among teenagers on a boy look 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 paulina their brightest student who it seemed that her future figured out which way should play station i want to become a journalist because it's very interesting and creative profession doors to the world for me what is yet but instead of a school living celebration pulling his classmates gathers funeral something she may not be the best she and everything and hand herself but again getting ready for the example we can't believe i was the one who works the hardest of all she thought of her marriage of math problems and she was very modest she wanted to graduate isn't a great student. in many countries this trask's of 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 that's much higher than the average scene in the united states and britain the problem is so out of hand but when i was informing the president about it he found it hard to believe that the figures are truly frightening every year thousands children make attempts on their lives this is a girls are up to four times more likely to act on suicide it's two boys who by a long way actually succeed in killing himself. eager is different his try to take his life three times the latest the time just six months ago. i just had announced i was tired of fighting with my mom my girlfriend left me i was fed it was starting i couldn't stand seeing the streets and hearing this noise i just wanted everything i want peace 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. committed in the state of emotional distress over time. even if parents notice that many would rather ignore them and 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 and leaving little time for talking and listening this morning meant is that it catered to children all and victim to adult parts as alcoholism drug abuse prostitution and i want to go with can drive a child to take his or her own life but in the fancher of this overall get bigger stars one that's quality broadening almost commonplace yet it represents what x. parents say is the main reason why russia is leaving europe and the number of teen suicides about isn't difference seeing no evil hearing cries.

artsy. if it continues over whether the financial meltdown of two thousand and eight was a natural disaster or the result of wall street fraud and government inaction but our finance no will max keiser says what the u.s. is experiencing is an economic melt through. yet a complete delta 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 not too 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 here's lloyd blankfein like. system right. and he's just destroying things because of the toxicity of the derivatives that goldman spewed out of their toxic organs into this bay ship earth

a three billion and all over the head of the eurasian energy crisis fund explains who is contributing what. the fund now has. billion dollars so likely more than eight about five billion dollars six countries in questions are remaining projects than kyrgyzstan russia and project is that russia has built in seven point five billion dollars of stumper's built in one billion dollars other countries have also contributed but smaller amounts every law is the key to the contributors to the fronts in the proportion and which the contributors 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 top all and this means that roughly contribution will be above eight percent what is important to explain is that we actually do not have these model of the way the fund works is countries have made the initial contribution of ten percent cash so ten percent of eight point five

e.'s eight hundred fifty million dollars all for this initial contribution the first 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 we go to the member countries requesting that they provide more cash within the limits of eight point five billion dollars. and greece's economy continues to plummet as ratings agency standard and poor's conscious credit rating from beach a triple c. making it the worst in the world says a significantly higher likelihood of one of more defaults as the risks for the likely restructuring continue to grow and some see how this has affected the markets asian stocks opened lower but turned positive after china announced stronger than expected industrial output because the u.k. finished up more than one percent ahead and saying it was basically unchanged and the chinese data is also giving a literature world branch is trading at around one hundred nineteen dollars
