a very warm welcome to you this is r.t. live from moscow i'm a recent shi'ite and to libya now where nato airstrikes and advancing a rebel forces are tightening the noose around a couple kidnappings a stronghold tripoli civilians in the capital live in constant fear of being killed and now a petrol shortage is making our lives even more difficult nato's actions which are aimed at protecting civilians have succeeded only in stoking people's anger very financial reports from. it's 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 pastoral stations the international sanctions imposed on the battles colonel's regime to not include a few and. that nato is targeting time to lorries is suspected the few might be used by gadhafi is military forces with roads closed factories at

a stop and foreign workers long since gone from the war stricken country to leave his face in its worst energy crisis ever the new realities ordinarily been drivers now spend vast amounts of time queuing for a few months ago this became a common enemy in the 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 students and has volunteered here to help organize the crosses 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 stations. all asian impulsion women have too many things to do they don't fight each other world queuing and never should ginger beer is now in there so we're able to serve up to nine hundred cars for the day though i

feel like i'm in this line is longer the others are ruben longer patrols 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 wintry appears it could be days. women 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. on the part 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 will die 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

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 their way out of months of devastating conflict ordinary people are looking for a way to just leave the everyday lives dreaming of our times when these nightmare would be with a distant memory. r t tripoli. and as the coalition is slammed by critics for straying from its u.n. mandate to protect civilians some analysts claim that was never even on nato spectrum radio host of showmen and told r.t. that the interventions only aim is to divide and conquer with a view of seizing it natural resources. president kerry a legend in the u.n. 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 his new target its resources will be usurped the ploy for the benefit of foreign oil companies in the one nine hundred ninety s. because of a 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 upraising was the occasion for the intervention and demonising could offer 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 of the ninety thought but they demonize him now to give them cover for agenda of seizing the orld subjugating of copulation the population does not benefit from their natural resources because they had the disposal of foreign corporations on behalf of the united states and the western powers the resources go outward into 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 the imperial power that controls and installs these regimes and maintains them. still to come here on r.t. there is a never fuel feud brewing in the middle east about how egypt's revolution looks set to trigger a gas shortage but where. in syria reports suggest that security forces are continuing their crackdown on the opposition president assad's troops are pushing rebel forces further from the northern town of jews are after taking full control of the area the advances sent another wave of civilians fleeing towards the turkish border according to human rights groups at least one four hundred people have been killed since the beginning of the crackdown in mid march and some ten thousand detained meanwhile the pressure

is mounting on syria with britain and france pushing for a draft u.n. resolution but russia and china who oppose any attempts to intervene in the syrian conflict have said they will not back the move let's get more details on this and talk to was a senior research fellow and director of the institute for national security studies thank you for joining us today other violence in syria doesn't show any sign of abating now as we were saying britain and france are getting ever more vocal about taking action or do you believe the u.n. security council could have any positive effect on the situation. i don't believe. there will be over the ocean i mean basically with a constant on beasts subject because so. i shouldn't read it or i was so it was a bit of cheney's every. second there is a lot he's only it was a notion that he's supposed to be now and still into action so this man.

doesn't. sink if he's going to change anything as you're saying russia and china it's unlikely they will allow such a resolution to get parts through the u.n. but let's just let's just say for a moment that it does get through the resolution on libya was a humanitarian mission introducing a no fly zone but we're seeing a full scale military campaign in the country if the resolution was adopted on syria could we see a repeat of the same scenario. i don't see if we were in syria the same scenario or because. it would be. so i mean i would be. nobody's interested in military intervention or for any sort of being a c.e.o. you know. is not. a cost of military

intervention in syria would be. why would the cost of military intervention in syria be far greater. because. it is. much stronger. than the biggest i mean we've had bigger population. would not be such an easy play is maybe i was so i don't let's let's talk. the ongoing unrest in syria is a possible i know conspiracy theorists have a field day with this but is it possible there's a hidden agenda and the u.s. and its allies are pursuing something in syria using the unrest to their advantage . because i don't see much of.

these. because of perjury or probably. they're just. very. you. know very. good maybe are. they. if i may just interrupt you for a moment i'm sort of saying there's a lot of enthusiasm for the western powers to get involved in syria but i mean look at look at libya libya is the seventeenth biggest producer of all in the world it supplies at least three percent of the world's oil. what is the agenda in libya do you think at this point if you can compare it to syria because you're saying there's no enthusiasm to syria as it has nothing to offer.

has nothing to save costs. syria and levy are. quite small. weeks. vention even know what. the west. is for. you know with. gadhafi was a story about the. only possibility placement would be. even if. it were not to be like. but that's but i know. we will see years abroad we. see this a violent crackdowns on the demonstrators in syria reports of hundreds of people dead ten to ten thousand being detained here

a lot of crackdown on protesters demanding change do you think do you think his regime the president regime a regime rather can hold on. nobody . can start you've only been. seeing the. chance. because the regime is fighting for. whatever. they may succeed in the least for another couple of years school will go on. all right. from the national security studies institute live from tel aviv thank you. i don't know there's a check out what's happening what's coming up in our business bulletin with kareena that's because of a lot of hype arena so it seems there might be some new names are looking to float

thousand eight hundred forty seven's a nine millimeter pistol pistols purchased by the us government for the iraqi army national police disappeared and 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. well the situation in iraq is also leading our top world story today in a time when a government compound in the town of baquba has left at least nine people dead and seventeen injured two car bombs went off outside the compound it's a weekly provincial council meeting in the town which lies just northeast of

a sex scandal the hotly contested race to succeed him will end later this month. but the toppling of president mubarak in egypt is now turning up the heat on cairo's gas supply with israel egyptian officials are probing allegations the agreement was a scam orchestrated by the mubarak family cairo is reportedly considering a raising gas export crisis to israel or even suspending supplies altogether not his policy reports from tel aviv. israel cannot be choosy 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 it's sourcing secure energy is a hot issue in the middle east when ever we can and where ever 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 l r wish to the israeli port of ashkelon. but the revolution in egypt supported by the united states is backfiring on israel the interim government says

it's not obliged to sell gas to israel and is pushing we negotiate the agreement i did who rewinds for several each action papers from israel he says the deal was always unpopular among egyptians to give him the. car. this business is. not. good for 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 have permits key to 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. in his which were across the in the arab world and it was also very over's that one if the president is not. 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 dirtier which is why boys are right is plugging fanatically 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 a high price. in a lot of. much more pollutants and. the fact that we didn't develop the cool electric glinting crying will cause us to much more than we. call station employees and work in. 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 really 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 their pay bears either way the gas issue is likely to keep heating up policy r.t. television. since the u.s. has been backing the uprisings in the middle east r.t. asked former u.s. congresswoman and presidential candidate cynthia mckinney about america's interests in the region. if you really want to understand the motivations of u.s. policy we have to go back to what ray mcgovern who is a former cia analyst had to say and he described u.s. policy is being driven by all i and l. well brits oh well. i for israel ellis for just extend and so he described the logistics as those logistics that were

now at forty minutes past the hour here in moscow russia is plagued by one of the highest rates of teen suicide in the world with as many as four thousand attempting to kill themselves every year experts say it's the parents that are often at fault for not seeing the problem is staring right at them but it's also used on a boycott of reports there are many other forces at work. just days before final exams it typically was reporting and students gearing up for their lives that lay had of them the teachers pointed to bullying at their brightest tootin who it seemed had her future figured out which way should play stages i want to become a journalist because it's very interesting and creative profession and doors to the world for me all this yet but instead of a school living celebration alina's classmates gathered for here funeral sensing she may not be the best and everything and hand herself but they have been getting ready for the example weeks and pollini i was the one who worked the hardest of all

she thought 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 that's much higher than the average scene in the united states and britain. problem is so out of hand that when i was informing the president about it he found it hard to believe the figures are truly frightening every year thousands children make attempts on their lives the girls are apt to four times more likely to attempt suicide it is 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

a 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 wanted peace what's driving the problem in russia is what x. spirits call a low emotional literacy psychological or psyche. health is underdeveloped and not easily available then there is the stigma good even more. committed in the state of emotional distress which builds over time warning signs even if parents notice that many would rather ignore them and to take their kid to a psychologist or psychiatrist which added to that continuing social and economic shifts we can need 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 are all in victim to adult biases alcoholism drug abuse prosecution

so likely more than eight about how billion dollars six countries and questions are armenia kazakhstan period you start russia and the cheapest sport in seven point five billion dollars worth of stuff has built in one involves other countries have also contributed by small amounts every law is heated to the contributors to the funds in the proportion and which can be contributed to the front which means that if you look at the total structure of the farm russia has provided above eighty percent of the total and least means that russian contribution will be about eight percent what is important to explain is that we actually do not have these amount of money in 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 regions of the fund the first loans which the fund is giving to its member countries have been funded
