news and comment live from our studios here in central moscow this is r.t. 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 the lives even more difficult there's actions aimed at protecting civilians have succeeded only in stoking people's anger as reports. 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 tanka lauri's 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 is facing its worst energy crisis ever the new realities ordinarily been drivers now spend

vast amounts of time queuing for fuel a month ago this week 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 given only a marker is a university student and has volunteered here to help organize the process she stands few russian books which allow individuals thirty five liters a week she believes it's a great idea to have women only stations. 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 old enough to look at me this line is long but others are ruben longer patrols to cheaper than water here just a few cents for a litter it's just that is often in short supply. if there is no few we have to

live 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 if we give up will 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 imperialism and the 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 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. as the coalition is slammed by critics for straying from its un mandate to protect civilians in libya some analysts claim that that was never even agenda radio and told r.t. the interventions only aim is to divide and conquer with a view to seizing natural resources. as an imperial agenda the un is a fig leaf for pursuing imperial war and in libya as in africa at large they want to carve up the country seizes 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 the one nine hundred ninety s. that gadhafi regime was controlled by the central intelligence agency and could

often be 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 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 saw him 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 and 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. around seven thousand people have been arrested under egypt's military rulers since the country's revolution in february genter has promised to review military trials of civilians and says it will increase the powers of the civil courts however human rights watch talks a skeptical saying not much has changed since president mubarak stepped down well to discuss this i'm not joined live by he's the president of the arab lawyers association joining me in london thanks very much for joining us here on r.t. with so many people being arrested months after the revolution what does that tell us about the current regime this interim government in egypt at the moment and life for people there i don't think it gives us much information because the one was must understand the regime of the present moment the same regime was under about the same military guys are in charge except the difference this time is that the people are watching and they have the say so the military job which is rolling

egypt at the moment have to listen to what the people say because they no longer very well if they do not adhere to what the population wants them demonstrations would go back again however. the presumption that because you have evolution that means nobody would be arrested is really misplaced everywhere in the world people would have to be arrested if they broke the law in egypt there are people from the previous regime that are people who are breaking the law at the moment there are people who need to be arrested because either for violation of the law or because they there are. some crime or another that doesn't really give us very much about the present regime so there's no general theme over the reason why so many people seven thousand sounds quite a lot doesn't it why these people are being arrested what sort of charges are there facing well there are at least three four categories of people being arrested there are people who are from the previous regime they're being arrested pending investigation what have you there are people who are actually violating currently

the present course of the government decides that you. shouldn't be blocking roads for demonstration purposes without permission some of the people would have to be arrested you've got people who are breaking the law as ordinary criminals like thieves and like people who are entering into fights and what have you and indeed i think there are some people who are actually being arrested for political reasons either because they are thought to be agents of a foreign power they are people who profit. so then so so there isn't an element of people actually speaking out against this current regime being arrested for that reason then you're not suggesting that's happening no i'm not suggesting that at all i don't think the people who are speaking against the regime are being arrested or the it's not been not because this regime is different but it is too early for them to begin to do that they're not doing that people are very openly criticizing everything you. listen to the radio the television people are expressing the are

you confident member of the well the president the arab lawyers association particular let me bear in mind that they are going to review military trials of civilians are you confident that these people will be facing a fair trial now those who've been arrested well at the present moment yes i'm quite confident this is what's going to happen now obviously nobody can tell the future or if things go out of control if there are abuses and this is them we will certainly speak against that one and we are keeping everything under their watch the. problem is in egypt and outside egypt too i really wanted to in this situation was very very closely what about the future now we are in this interim government here at the moment the muslim brotherhood has now been accepted as a political party in egypt it seems to be gaining momentum and they likely to win the election if that does happen i don't think they will win the election they will have certainly one must accept this whether one is talking in the west or talking

in russia or any part of the world including the arab world we have. there are so supporters of the muslim brotherhood but they certainly do not represent the majority they certainly will not be in control of the party but the idea that we continue because we don't like the muslim brotherhood and i'm not so sure many people actually do know what the muslim brotherhood aside from a label i don't think people should be and you can see especially the talking democracy is democracy for everybody is like if you don't think the muslim brotherhood could possibly win this election which is supposed to be happening in september who is then providing the strongest political party because obviously after years of no political opponents in that country do you think there is a an organization that is likely to win then at this stage i don't think there will be anybody who's going to have an overall majority i think of nationalist movements and islamist movements will be willing seats i think they will have

a coalition government principally the government has to be and the parliament is going to be more of a nationalistic movement some of them are going to visited by islamic. finance a few others by nationalistic or do you think without necessarily being muslims if there's no overall majority will that be accepted by the egyptian people is that what they really want because that sounds to me there's a little indecision about the future of the country could that not cause more tensions in the future but certainly any revolution is going to nobody can predict the outcome of revolution so people accept and want and this is what the egyptian people have said acted and elected to do they wanted to have a revolution and the end of the day that evolution is going to produce its own government its own. power power struggle and said i'm just going to go to finish i'm funny though are you confident of a democratic future for egypt absolutely i am of the moment. thanks so much for

your time to hear what i have to say present the arab lawyers association joining us there in london thank you rick. egypt's also becoming the focus of energy worries the toppling of president barack is turning up the heat on cora's gas supply deal with israel egyptian officials are probing allegations agreement was a scam orchestrated by the mubarak family now it's likely that israel's gas supply may be at risk what is porcelain reports now 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 share theirs which is why sourcing secure energy is a hot issue in the middle east when ever we can. 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 who rewinds for several each option papers from israel he says the deal was always unpopular among egyptians a gift. card. this. 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 skee 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 girl 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 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. and the fact that we didn't develop coral plants planting trying 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 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. later this hour the problem of teen suicides becomes critical in russia every year thousands of russian youngsters try to take their own lives experts are no closer to putting the brakes on the teen suicide epidemic. heads of state from some of the. players are descending on cause extern for an annual summit of the shanghai cooperation organization founded ten years ago brings together countries including russia and china but others are also invited such as iran and afghanistan to work on common threats and challenges. in the capital. so plenty of corporation in the past ten years all we are seeing the same sort of corporation now at this meeting i'm going to see that in the next few days.

cooperation is certainly what they'll be talking about in the next few days it is the tenth year anniversary of the shanghai cooperation organization or summit and are going to be reflective to begin with they're going to look back at the past ten years look at that collaboration the cooperation and see if they've actually achieved something that they want to assess that and then come up with objectives new objectives for the future now the six member states including of course china russia will kick off the summit to morrow that's wednesday and joining them will be the heads of state of iran india and pakistan that have observer status here at the summit now it's interesting because all three of them do want to become full members but there are some hurdles to be overcome in iran's case for example it has un sanctions against it and the c.e.o. is looking forward to adopting a u.n. resolution improving the real. between the u.n. and the s.d.o. having more cooperation so this could be an obstacle but nevertheless iran is here as an observer and they are also involved in the dialogue afghanistan is also here

but if you want to send is here as a guest of the c.e.o. however afghanistan has also applied for an observer status and they were saying that at the end of this summit it is expected that they will come up with a decision whether or not of ghana said it will indeed become an observer now i guess as you mentioned when they went at the s.c. it was founded ten years ago they really were trying to overcome three forces they named terrorism separatism extremism as well as resolve the border conflicts but it has a change expanded from that ideal from those objectives to what it is today now it's by no means a military organization although they have held a joint military exercises it is not like nato in fact the u.s. did try to become an observer in two thousand and five but it was rejected so this is more of a geographic grouping of states with common interests common borders the threats that they are addressing now for this specific summit they do want to give ample time to economic and financial issues they do want to come up with

a special account so to speak now china for its part has already given ten billion dollars committed ten billion dollars for member nations should they ever need it and what's interesting is the presence of of it is an important part of this region and they do want to talk about post nato afghanistan what is the future of get us and after the nato forces do withdraw in the future and this ability of that country of course is essential to disability of the region for russia's foreign minister sergei lavrov is looking forward to signing an agreement a five year agreement to the anti drug strategy as we know most of the drugs coming into russia from afghanistan and coming into the other members of the grouping of countries so again mr lavrov said he has one of his top priorities for mr medvedev now the president of russia is here who will also be joining having talks we have. this will definitely be at the top of the agenda get more cooperation between the countries aside from that they do want to improve their international standing

again this is this is by no means trying to compete with other group in the world they want to be a part of the global dialogue and that is exactly what they're going to try to come up with one voice relation in regard to the issues that are affecting the world today especially what's happening in the middle east and north africa and of course let's not forget the meetings on the sidelines it's interesting to see what bilateral agreements will come out of the summit on wednesday more from me over the next four days or so from. from the capitol. thanks very much indeed for that. and some of the top stories from around the world an attack on a government compound 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 the blast cleared the way for suicide bombers to enter the compound causing two explosions. an offensive by syrian troops against rebels in the north of the country sparked

a mass exodus of refugees across the border into turkey human rights groups say at least one thousand four hundred people have been killed and some ten thousand detained since the beginning of a government crackdown in mid march britain and france are pushing a controversial draft u.n. resolution that urges intervention in the country. the japanese cabinet has approved a plan to help the operator of the fukushima nuclear plant pay billions of dollars in compensation to victims of the disaster tepco will now receive government subsidies as well as contributions from the private sector the firm's been waiting for official approval to begin making of payments to those affected the japanese parliament has been critical of the way tepco has dealt with the crisis triggered by an earthquake and tsunami three months ago. this hour north korean officials are neighbors to end their confrontational approach to his country his comments came in response to. reports that southern korean soldiers have been using pictures of north korean leaders for target practice and such provocation could lead to war on

the peninsula last year accuse its southern neighbor provoking an artillery attack by violating its maritime border during military drills. russia is plagued by one of the highest rates of teen suicide in the world with as many as four falls and attempting to kill themselves every year experts say it's the parents that are often at fault for not seeing the problems staring them right in the face but as artie's accountable to reports there are many other forces at work just days before final exams a t.v. crew was reporting and students gearing up for the adult lives that lee had of them the teachers pointed to bullying at their brightest student who it seemed had her future figured out where she at least i want to become a journalist because it's a very interesting and creative profession which would open doors to the world for me yet but instead of a school living celebration pulling his classmates gathered for here funeral sensing she may not be the best she ended everything and hank herself with the

genders and she would have been getting ready for the exam four weeks than believing that was the one who worked the hardest of all she saw loads of math problems and she was very nervous she wanted to graduate isn't a great student for many countries this trast 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 in the half thousand children in teenagers killed themselves every year that's much higher than the average scene in the united states and britain. the problem is so out of hand that when i was informing the presidents 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 apt to four times more likely to attempt suicide it is to 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 want to piece 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 or committed in the 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 those 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 frightening almost commonplace here it represents what experts say is the main reason why russia is leading europe in the number of teen suicides and that isin difference seeing no evil hearing now cries. stories we're covering on screen you can always go to. interviews and videos available for you. including. the e.u. foreign policy chief catherine ashton. across the border with
