9:03 am
just after five pm here in moscow you with r.t. i'm real research and it's to libya now where nato airstrikes and advancing 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 as artie's maria financial 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 queues at his petrol stations the international sanctions imposed on the embattled colonel's regime did not include a few and. that nato is targeting tank if suspected the fuel might be used by gadhafi as 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 realities ordinarily been drivers now spend vast
9:04 am
amounts of time queuing for few months ago this became a common theme. in the 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 as. the 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 were de facto enough to look at. this line is long but others are ruben longer petrol still cheaper than water here just a few cents for
9:05 am
a litter it's just that is often in short supply. if there is no few we have to give our 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 in cares there are also special problems for ambulances and police cars. but the needle surrounded us but we should move on. we try to do our best to help people get by but we give up we'll die 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 imperialists. need and they do damaged our city destroyed our life they told us they want to save people is that the way to save the people tell me this is just a crime. while the warring sides try to find
9:06 am
a 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. r.t. tripoli. now as the coalition is slammed by critics for straying from its un mandate to protect civilians in libya some analysts claim that was never even on nato's agenda radio host of ralph schoenman told us here at r t that the interventions only aim is to divide and conquer with a view to seizing natural resources. as an imperial a gender 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 the population itself is the target its resources will be usurped the ploy for the benefit of foreign oil companies in
9:07 am
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 oral 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 pretexts saddam was their man in baghdad for twenty seven years khadafi had worked hand in glove with the cia and with congolese arise from the ninety thought but they demonize him now to give them cover for gender seize the oil 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 missile rated countries with great wealth but they don't enjoy the benefit of it
9:08 am
because of the class character of the regime and the nature of imperial power that controls and installs these regimes and maintains them. here with aunty and still to come on the program as another fuel feud brewing in the middle east find out how egypt is a revolution looks set to trigger a gas shortage in israel. us offices are investigating the disappearance of nearly seven billion dollars sent by washington to fund the reconstruction of iraq the cash was flown in after the toppling of saddam hussein in two thousand and three but is now completely unaccounted for a form of bush administration official told me that the money went missing under the watch of the incoming cia chief david petraeus he was then in charge of america's mission in iraq. pallets with american cash american currency was stored in the basement of the republican palace saddam's main building headquarters building basically the seat of the iraqi government they say it was in volts well
9:09 am
they don't say that the doors of the vaults were wide open i knew people that were that had walked past these powers full of american money and anybody could edge of could have just walked in grabbed a stack of hundred dollar bills and walked away all of this stuff was going on while david petraeus was the commander of the multinational security transition command in iraq in zero four and zero five and this is the same period of time that one hundred ninety thousand a k forty seven and nine millimeter pistol pistols purchased by the u.s. government for the iraqi army national police disappeared the accountability of cold hard u.s. cash was essentially nonexistent for many years after the war when iraqi officials threatening court action to get the money back political analyst rick young from the voice of russia radio station believes that baghdad has every right to demand the money. i would say they probably have some legal claim to that money
9:10 am
and a legitimate claim to go to court the u.s. has already said that it took those the money from the oil from those and from the oil fields they've already taken that money they seized it in the sanctions against . hussein's iraq so the money is legitimately the iraqis the question is again if the u.s. government can't find the money they'll have to come up with it some way so my feeling is that they do have some claim to this money some legal claim and it's going to take some time to want to the courts whichever courts they choose to go through probably international courts to get this money back. you with r t live from moscow and the situation in iraq is also leading our top story today an attack on a government compound in the town of cooper has left at least nine people dead seventeen injured two car bombs went off outside the compound during a weekly provincial council meeting in the town which lies so just northeast of baghdad the blasts cleared the way for suicide bombers to enter the compound

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 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 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 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 experts call a low emotional literacy psychological or psychiatric help is underdeveloped and not easily available then there is the stigma. most the most suicides are attempted
9:21 am
or committed in a state of emotional distress which builds over time there are warning signs but even if parents notice them 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 and leaving little time for talking and listening this morning meant is that they cater to children who have fallen victim to adult vices alcoholism drug abuse prostitution and i want to go with can drive a child to take his or her own life but in the center of this over only wicket bigger stones one that seems policy driving 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. twenty minutes past the hour here in the russian capital
