as nato fights to destroy fuel routes to colonel gadhafi forces innocent people in oil rich libya are suffering the effects of the country's energy crisis. israel's a flow of cheap gas is a fading fast with egypt seeking a rethink over a key energy deal that's thought to only benefit the jewish state and of the mubarak family. and a lack of emotional support is going for russia's record breaking figures of suicides among team. plugged back in and russia has resumed electricity supply to provide was born business in twenty minutes.

global news live from the center of moscow this is artsy reception. tells the world to prepare for a post could half iraq coalition bombs continue to blitz the libyan capital petrol queues a snake through tripoli with fuel in short supply scenario made worse has become a regular target for asteroids. and our reports on civilians caught up in a brutal conflict. it may have some of the largest oil reserves on the planet but these days neighbors. also god some of the longest queues 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 as 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 reality is ordinarily been drivers now spend vast

amounts of time queuing for fuel two months ago this became a common theme here in a 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 life here is women only and barker is a university student and has volunteered here to help organize the process she stamps a few russian boots which allow individuals thirty five liters a week she believes it's a great idea to have women on the station whose. women have too many things to do they don't fight each other world cueing and never shoot into the year is now in the so we're able to serve up to nine hundred cars below day old enough to look at . this line is long but others are ruben longer patrols to cheaper than the water here just

a few cents for litter it's just that is often in short supply. if there is no fuel we have two large 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 that has there 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 we'll die. 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 move i need to and they damaged our city destroyed our life they told us they want to save the people is that the way to save the people tell me this is just a crime. while the warring sides try to find their way out of months of devastating

conflict ordinary people looking for a way to just leave their everyday lives dreaming about times when these nightmare would be with a distant memory. tripoli. meantime a u.s. radio host and peace activist ralph schoenman says that nato is serving its own interests in the region by bombing libya he says the libyan people are being exploited by the greed of some washington nations. as 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 ploy for the benefit of foreign oil companies in the one nine hundred 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 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 or subjugating the population the population does not benefit from their natural resources because at 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 miss or 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. former u.s. congresswoman and presidential candidate cynthia mckinney is on a fact finding mission in libya she says that not all nato is targets in libya military and that 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 to depleted uranium is used near 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 that's 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 you can watch the full version of this interview and i just over an hour's time heroin. now is. a long established energy agreement with egypt could soon go up in flames they were gentle gas deal was set up by president mubarak but now post revolution caro is demanding that the terms are renegotiated and as artie's reports israel's options are 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 say there 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 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 i did who rewinds 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 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 obvious that one day 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 the 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 we'll get it in the high price and we'll need to burn a lot of. much more pollutants in the us and the fact that we didn't develop the coral plants planting timing 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 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 r.t. television. artie's coming to life in the heart of moscow and are still ahead in the program disappeared without a trace us defense headquarters admits it doesn't know where more than six billion dollars for iraq that's gone. plus with russia having a 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 wrecked facility have been exposed to dangerously high radiation levels of brings the official total to eight this comes as traces of a highly toxic element were detected in sea and groundwater at the nuclear plant radioactive strontium believed to cause cancer and leukemia has been found out 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 damaged reactors scientists now fear that some levels of contamination are higher than those following that 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 really 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 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 now is ten times more contaminated then 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've missed something we're covering you can catch it on line twenty four that are always more stories to explore for example at the pentagon has of the world as it proposes that the u.s. responds to cyber attacks with a military force. a russian man sets out to prove the disability is no obstacle. but is in a cross-country trek on his electric buggy much more of his journey at odyssey dot com. i catch him video on our future. is he.

the official altie allocation. from the. video. and feed in the palm of your. question on the dot com. so a quarter past the hour here in moscow one of europe's largest lakes is about supply hosted some rather unexpected guests to russian deep sea subs will make their first dive in the depths of switzerland's lake geneva cutting edge technology

will be collecting scientific data on the lake it will also test just how clean the water gets drunk by thousands of swiss and french every day the many subs are famous for the expeditions of the titanic wreck side 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 geneva is 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 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. 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 two car bombs cleared at 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 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 with police using tear gas to disperse the demonstration the rioting followed a days of growing unrest in the region. seven republican presidential candidates have gathered for the first debate of the two thousand and twelve campaign the 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 has shortlisted two candidates to become its new managing director french finance minister christine lagarde and mexican that central bank chief. will find it out for the top job this 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. while russia suffers one of the highest rates of teen suicide in the world according to recent school polls of way to commit suicide was one of the most popular internet searches among teenagers on a boy 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 bullying or the broader student who it seemed had her future

figured out which way should play stage i want to become a journalist because it's very interesting and creative profession which could open doors to the world 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 than believing i was the one who works in the hardest of all of her marriage of math problems and she was very nervous she wanted to graduate isn't a great student. how 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 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 in 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 that this is. girls are apt to four times more likely to act tempt suicide it is still boys who by a long way actually succeed in killing themselves bigger is different his trying 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 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 given most suicides are attempted committed in the state of emotional distress which builds over time. but 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 and leaving little time for talking and listening this morning meant is that they cater to children who fallen victim to adult biases alcoholism drug abuse prostitution and i want to go with can drive a child to take his or her own life but then the santror of this overly wicked figure stands 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 us and difference seeing no evil hearing now cries out of work or artsy. debate 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 kaiser says what the u.s. is experiencing is an economic melt through. yet a complete meltdown are 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. system right. and he's just destroying things because of the toxicity of the derivatives that goldman spews out of their toxic organs into the space ship earth . i mean yes.

all right you can watch the kaiser report in just about five minutes time right here on t.v. but for now it's the business with you. hello and a very warm welcome to the business day of russia has resumed electricity supplies to beller power generator in toronto has reportedly resumed all power transmission after the troubled country promised to pay the fifteen million dollars by the fifth of july although been a is a transit country supplies to the baltic countries were not affect it. but there was a still facing one of the steepest economy 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 they had all 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 billion dollars six countries and questions are for meaning kazakhstan kyrgyzstan russia and projected start russia sport in seven point five billion dollars has built in one billion dollars other countries have also contributed but smaller amounts every law is the key to two of the contributors to the funds in the proportion in which the contributors to the form which means that if you look at the total structure of the fund russia has provided the bold eighty percent of the total and this means that the russian contribution will be about peterson 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 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 once we use this initial contribution would 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 cut its credit rating from b. to triple c. making it the worst in the world the agency says there's a significantly higher likelihood or one of more defaults as the risks for the likely restructuring continue to grow and so see how this has affected the markets asian stocks opened lower but turned positive after china announced stronger than expected industrial output figures the u.k. finished up more than one percent and saying it was basically unchanged and the chinese data is also giving a little toiled branch is trading at around one hundred nineteen dollars a barrel though is losing about fifty three cents to the sound hollering at. just
