sanctions imposed on the embattled colonel's regime cannot include a few and. the latest targeting tank a law is if suspected the fuel might be used by gadhafi as military forces with roads closed factories at the start and foreign workers losses 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 months ago this week. in the country people have been lining up to fill up their cars even days this line is a little difficult. the gas station at the end of a few is given only a marker 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 only stations. women have too many things to do

they don't fight each other world queuing and never shoot into the year is now so we're able to serve up to nine hundred cars and again the building of. this line is long but others are ruling longer petrol still cheaper than water here just a few cents for a litter it's just that is often in short supply. if there is no fuel we have to leave our cars and return reentry appears there 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 camps for ambulances and police cars. and it'll surrounded us but we should move on. we try to do our best to help people get by if we give up will die the eleventh 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 need and they damaged our city destroyed our lives they told us they want to save people is bad the way to save the people tell me this is just a crime. while the warring sides try to find their way out of months of devastating conflict ordinary people are looking for a way that does live the everyday lives dreaming of our times when these nights where would be with a distant memory. written off an artsy tripoli. as the coalition is slammed by critics for straying from its u.n. mandate to protect civilians in libya and in his claim that was never even on nato's agenda radio host showmen has told r.t. that the interventions only aim is to divide and conquer with a view to seizing natural resources. pigeon imperial a gent in 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 has been a target its resources will be usurped he cloyd for the benefit of foreign oil companies in the ninety ninety s. good conduct a regime was controlled by the central intelligence agency and could often privatized three hundred and 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 thought but they demonize him now to give them cover for agenda of seizing the oil

subjugating the population the population does not benefit from their natural resources because they're at the disposal of foreign corporations on behalf of the united states and the western powers the resources go out where it can to foreign corporations that control them the population is amiss aerated that country has 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 regions and maintains them. violence is also raging still in syria forcing the u.s. to renew its calls on the massacres to halt its crackdown on protests with the white house strongly condemning president assad's actions government troops are said to be pushing rebel forces further from the northern town of should good after taking full control of the area it also sent another wave of civilians fleeing towards the turkish border according to human rights groups at least fifteen hundred people have been killed since the beginning of the crackdown in mid march and some ten thousand detained meanwhile britain france are pushing for a draft u.n.

resolution that russia and china will oppose any attempts to intervene in the syrian conflict and said they won't back the move investigative journalist told me earlier that the u.s. is using the opportunity to weaken the regime. while it appears that both russia and china are going to ensure that there will be no un security council resolution but even i think even if even if one would have been passed i don't think would have much credibility you see but the problem is that the those who support the syrian regime and the syrian government can point to. a very simple fact that is there been many un resolutions for the middle east and they've always been ignored when they apply to israel and also other people say well yes today it will be this resolution but it won't have any impact tomorrow they'll strengthen and the day after that it will be even stronger and so you'll get an incremental move towards some kind of military intervention so people i think are very very suspicious of

the reasoning behind the resolution if it falls in the same way as it did in iraq that is foreign intervention destroying the country then you can see it plunging into it into a kind of civil war that we saw in lebanon but on a much bigger scale. and so on although all the religious sects against each other i think the u.s. and syria have always had relations syria was on the list of countries that supported terrorism sanctions over the years so i don't think it's anything on the hand about i think it's quite straightforward. extend the u.s. would like to see would like to take the opportunity to be able to kind of weaken. the weaken the regime. around seven thousand people have been arrested under egypt's military rulers since the country's revolution in a federal judge has promised to review military trials of civilians and says it will increase the powers of civil courts whether human rights watch dogs are

skeptical saying that not much has changed since president mubarak stepped down whether this custis son joined from caro by freelance journalist austin machall joining us there webcam thanks for being with us here on r.t. seven thousand people that have been thrown into egyptian prisons in the months since the revolution from what you've seen them from what you've heard do you think these arrests are justified. but it's very difficult to know we know about about five hundred cases of. people who. would most of them have been released just a very public events so that groups here like the gyptian initiative for personal rights and other organizations could could advocate for them and get them released but there's about thousands more we don't really know the number of human rights watch what's the number about five thousand activists put in seven thousand or higher. we have very little information about the charges against them it's not

clear which of them are are actually being used to criminal acts and which are basically political prisoners and what overlap there is there. is it's all happening in the dark so to speak it's very difficult for people to get information although the promise to review military trials for civilians do you think there will be fair trials for these prisoners. well a lot of them have already had their trials i mean in the trials have been faster call in the case of some of the people who've gotten out they described the trial taking place in a kitchen with the district attorney conducting the trial holding a remote control for television in one hand and a taser in the other and tasing them when they didn't read the statements they've been given correctly. so in these cases i mean if we hope there's a retrial but it seems it'll be a result of political pressure italy because it won't be because of any sort of legal safeguards that are being forced to moment. during the car at the moment or

you live there in cairo tell us what is the current situation like for people there at the moment has the revolution resulted in the changes that many were so desperately calling for well no i mean the. there's a lot of things that haven't happened if you know what i mean there's there's there's been no real progress on any of the issues that motivated the revolution i mean some people are saying we have to wait and see till after the elections which take place but in terms of freedom of speech it seems that the supreme council of armed forces while declaring itself sort of guardian of the revolution is. clamping down on the. on the rights that the revolutionaries were fighting for and in many cases it seems that the intention while championing themselves as you know the saviors of the revolutionary intent on maintaining as much of the old system as possible but this is international media here r.t. talking about those human rights issues clearly human rights watch dogs and they

have a case for concern do you think the egyptian authorities will be listening to those concerns after all they want the worldwide media to be looking in a favorable way when they. well that really depends on the amount of pressure to put on them both internally wild it will be concerned about the media i think they're more concerned about popular opinion here in egypt which has been largely supportive of the army. because if they were seen as saving the revolution. or joining the revolution at least that's that's beginning to erode some of that the other thing of course that's important is international pressure we saw. clinton speaking out. a few weeks ago saying that she hopes that there's due process followed in the trial of mubarak but she's been absolutely silent regarding due process for ordinary egyptians and protesters in this period this isn't a period obviously it is a tricky time in some ways part there are promises of the elections taking place in

september now if those elections to take place do you think after that we will see a truly democratic future for egypt. i certainly hope so and i know there's a lot that's not yet written and really depends on and again pressure from inside and from outside what was almost certain though is that the army will have a huge role in egyptian politics which could be very undemocratic. if they're not kept in line by their own people and by the international community the equipment question is how much. how big a role that will be and how they will use that role of a lot especially the higher ranks of the army did quite well out of the old regime in a lot of people say that the military was the heart of the old regime it was the head of the face. is a lot of entrenched interests that they will try to fight to protect it all comes

down to how active and how strong. a unified group egyptians and the international community are and pursuing the goals of the revolution very interesting to talk to you live in cairo no doubt we'll hear from you again particularly as we head towards those elections in september in the meantime freelance journalist austin michael thanks very much indeed for joining us thank you. properly still to come here on r.t. as we go where few have been before. russian deep steve jobs to reach to the floor some of the largest plane in western europe what charities exclusive coverage of that died from lake geneva in switzerland. and start a company but first heads of state from some of the ski power players are descending in kazakhstan for an annual summit of the shanghai cooperation organization founded ten years ago the c.e.o. brings together countries including russia and china but others are also invited such as iran and afghanistan to work on common threats and challenges that our city

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 getting a side really did become an observer it is an important part of this region and they do want to talk about nato afghanistan what is the future of ghana said 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 this is a 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 this is by no means trying to compete with other big said 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 sideline it's interesting to see what
