welcome to the program and 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 now to his actions aimed at protecting civilians succeeded only in stoking people's anger as our national reports. it's may have some of the largest oil reserves on the planet but these days labor's also got some of the longest keys at its 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 military forces with roads closed factories at a stop and foreign workers long since gone from the war stricken country is facing its worst energy crisis ever the new reality is ordinarily been drivers now spend
10:04 am
vast amounts of time queuing for fuel a month ago this became a company. rich country people have been lining up to fill. up their cars for hours even days but this line is a little different compared to the gas station at the end of life here is the limit 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. women have too many things to do they don't fight each other was queuing and never shoot into the year is now in the us so we're able to serve up to nine hundred cars in the lot of feel like me this line is long but others are moving longer petrels to cheaper than water here just a few cents for later it's just that is often in short supply. if there is no fuel
10:05 am
we have to the cars and return wintry appeals that could be days. when only gas stations is one of many innovations supposed to ease people's lives in a country that has their also special problems for ambulances and police cars. on the left or the up 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 will die will be 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 imperialism and need to nato 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 a way out of months of devastating conflict ordinary people looking for
10:06 am
a way to just leave their everyday lives dreaming about times when these nightmare would be able to die. mammary. not cheaply. well as the coalition is slammed by critics of straying from its un mandate to protect civilians in libya some analysts claimed was never even on nato agenda radio host ralph schoenman told r.t. that the interventions only aim is to divide with a view to seizing natural resources as an imperial agenda of the un as a fig leaf or pursuing imperial war and libya as in africa at large they want to carve up the country sees its resources and bases of constant military intervention and population and so the target its resources would be usurped the ploy for the benefit of foreign oil companies in the ninety ninety's that gadhafi regime was
10:07 am
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 could die off because they had saddam hussein in previously as a cover and pretext saddam was their man in baghdad for twenty seven years he 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 out of season 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 mystery aided that 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
10:08 am
that controls and installs these regimes and maintains them. you without see and still to come in the program there's another fuel feud brewing in the middle east to find out how egypt's revolution looks set to trigger a gas shortage in israel. u.s. officers are investigating the disappearance of nearly seven billion dollars sent by washington to fund the reconstruction of iraq the cash was flown enough to the toppling of saddam hussein in two thousand and three but is now completely unaccounted for a former bush administration official told us here about see that the money went missing under the watch of the incoming cia chief david petraeus who 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
10:09 am
volts well they don't say that the doors of the vaults were wide open i knew people that were there had walked past these pallets full of american money and anybody could 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 zero 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 well iraqi officials are threatening court action to get this money back political analyst rick young from the voice of russia radio station believes that baghdad has every right to demand the monies return. i would say they probably have some legal claim
10:10 am
to that money and a little bit claim to go to court the u.s. has already said that it took those the money from the oil from those 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 which of records they choose to go through probably international courts to get this money back and the situation in iraq is also leading our top world stories today and it's a government comes just north of baghdad has left at least nine people dead and seventeen injured two car bombs went off outside the building during a weekly provincial council meeting in baquba the blasts cleared the way for suicide bombers to enter the compound causing further explosions. an

minutes from now thanks very much see you soon. the toppling of president mubarak in egypt is now turning up the heat on cairo's gas supply deal with israel egyptian officials are probing allegations the agreement was a scam orchestrated by the mubarak family cairo is reportedly considering either raising gas export prices to israel or possibly suspending supplies altogether artie's 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 there is which is why outsourcing 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
10:14 am
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. card. that this business will. not be. keeping people the egyptian public prosecutor has since ordered an investigation into the deal former president hosni mubarak contributes sons were accused of having personally benefited from it which doesn't surprise you also of poets 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
10:15 am
president is not. is a go it's 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 muscle which is much more pollutants and then goes and the fact that we didn't develop the coral plants planting tieing will cause us to much more than we could who had called station in place and working. if no agreement with cairo is reached tel aviv is going to have to function without
10:16 am
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 there's either way the gas issue is likely to keep heating up. well or since the u.s. has allegedly been backing the uprisings in the middle east asked former congresswoman and presidential candidate cynthia mckinney about america's interests in the region here's a brief preview of the interview it's coming up later this hour. but 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 hat to say and he described u.s. policy is being driven by. i and l. now what's in l. . israel ellis for logistics.

of hand that when i was in filming the president's about it he found it hard to believe but the figures are truly frightening every year of two thousand children make attempts on their lives this is girls are up to four times more likely to attempt suicide yet it's 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 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 the suicide to return committed in the state of emotional distress which builds over time. but even if
