the. libyan capital tripoli. nato bombing campaign which they say is robbing them of both. fuel supply. thousands of syrians flee for their lives heading to turkey as government forces continue a bloody crackdown on anti-government protests the u.k. and france are still pushing for action through a un security council resolution. after the alarms raised over record breaking suicide rates amongst young people in russia blamed on indifference towards the problems of.

a very warm welcome to you this is r.t. live from moscow. to libya now where nato airstrikes on advancing a rebel forces are tightening the noose around colonel gadhafi stronghold tripoli civilians in the capital live in constant fear of being killed and now a petrol shortage is making their lives even more difficult nato's actions which are aimed at protecting civilians have succeeded only in stoking people's anger. reports from tripoli. 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 thing to national sanctions imposed on the embattled colonel's regime did not include a few and. that nato is targeting. if this part of the fuel 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. it's in

its worst energy crisis ever the new realities ordinarily been drivers now spend vast amounts of time queuing for fuel a month ago this became a common theme here maybe in a rich country people have been lining up to fill up their cars but i was even days but this line is a little different compared to the gas station at the end of life here is human only and barker is a university student and has volunteered here to help organize the process she stamps a few russian books 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 queuing and never shoot into the year is men often do so we're able to serve up to nine hundred cars in the lot of to look at. this line is long but others are even longer petrels still 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 the 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 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 of beauty or love 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 imperialists may. need to do that and they damaged our city destroyed our life they told us they want to save people is that the way to seize the people tell me this. it is just

a crime. while the warring sides try to find a way out of months of devastating conflict ordinary people are looking for a way to just leave the every day lives dreaming about times when these nightmare would be with a distant memory. r t tripoli. and as the coalition is by critics for straying from its un mandate to protect civilians some analysts claim that was never even on nato agenda radio host ralph schoenman told r.t. that the interventions only aim is to divide and conquer with a view of seizing natural resources. 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 the 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 upraising 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 on but they demonize him now to give them cover for engender seizing 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 missile 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 imperial power that controls and installs these regimes and maintains them. still to come here on r t there is a another fuel feud brewing in the middle east find out 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. after taking full control of the area the advances of another wave of civilians fleeing that 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 so get more details on this and talk to us a senior research fellow and director of the institute for national security studies thank you for joining us today and the 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 do you believe a u.n. security council could have any positive effect on the situation. i don't believe. there will be a as a motion to security council. subject because so. it shouldn't. have been cheney's and. said. it was a notion that these supposed to denounce. this syrian government. doesn't . sink is going to change

and you see as you're saying russia and china it's unlikely they will allow such a resolution to get 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 to see every scenario or because. it would be. so mean or do you nobody. should know c o u because syria is not. a cost of military intervention in syria would be. why would the cost of military intervention in syria be far greater.

because. he is. much stronger. because i mean we. shouldn't. be such an easy put a is lead be a was so i don't let's let's talk about the ongoing. unrest in syria is it possible in a conspiracy theorist to 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 . i don't see. because i don't see much enthusiasm for. seeing that. because. public opinion and media.

justly so. very. very. may be are will. go on to say they. are now if i may just interrupt you for a moment. he was saying that 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 you know 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 perhaps. syria has nothing to say the costs. will be very.

levy are costs. quite small. weeks off intervention. western. you know with. any possibility of placement. even if you have to be like. but that's but i know you guys we will see here is a. violent crackdowns on the demonstrators in syria reports of hundreds of people dead ten to ten thousand being detained here violent crackdown on protesters demanding change do you think do you think his regime the president's regime

a regime rather can hold on. nobody can make. it to be in such a volatile situation but i'm saying that there is a fair chance. because the regime is fighting for. whatever. they may succeed the least for another couple of years. all right. from the national security studies institute live in tel aviv thank you. i don't know let's check out what's happening what's coming up in our business bulletin with kareena let's cross over live high corrina so it seems that might be some new names are looking to float in moscow and london yes there are a false outgrowth confirmed plans for initial public offerings in both the cities

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 prices to israel or even suspending supplies altogether. reports from tel aviv. 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 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 government says it's not obliged to sell gas to israel and is pushing to renegotiate the agreement i did her rewrites for several each option papers from israel he says the deal was

always unpopular among egyptians to give people a. car to get this business through. it's not. because 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 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 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 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 you getting high price. a lot of. much more pollutants than. the fact that we didn't develop. clinton trying. to much more than we could. 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 or r.t. tel aviv. since the u.s. has been backing the uprisings in the middle east. 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 to say and he described u.s. policy is being driven. and l. now wants. israel ellis for logistics and so he described the logistics as those logistics that were needed by the neo to carry out their policies on behalf of israel.

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 reports there are many other forces at work. 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 at their brightest student who it seemed had her future figured out which way should play stage i want to become a journalist because it's a very interesting and creative profession which would open doors to the world for me with this yet but instead of a school living celebration pulling his classmates gathered to hear funeral son sing she may not be the best she added everything and hank herself with agendas and she would have been getting ready for the example weeks down believing i was the one who worked the hardest of all she saw her load of math problems and she was very nervous she wanted to graduate is i'm

a great student you are many countries this trash 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 in teenagers killed themselves every year that's much higher than the average c. 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 but the figures are truly frightening every year thousands children make attempts on their lives. girls are up to four times more likely to attempt suicide it is still boys who by a long way actually succeed in killing themselves eager 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 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 given most suicides are attempted or committed in the state of emotional distress which builds over time for their own warning signs but even if parents notice that many would rather ignore them than to take their kid to a psychologist or psychiatrist which actually 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 mentor is dedicated to children who have 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 then the santror of this over all the

wicked figures sounds one that seems policy frightening almost commonplace represents what experts say is the main reason why russia is leading europe in the number of teen suicides and that is indifference seeing no evil hearing now cries. artsy. now they have explored the waters of the arctic and plunge down to look at the titanic but now for the first time a russian deep sea is a plumbing the depths of switzerland's lake geneva the subs cutting edge technology will be used to collect data on the geology physics of the lake but also test just how clean the water drunk by thousands of swiss and french every day really is the best function of people six thousand meters but this time we dive to about three hundred the deepest point of like geneva the expedition more go on until mid august with just two days off for the cruise it's. all right time now for the business with korea.
