money off has said that he believes there is a higher form of peaceful solution. in this crisis where both sides say they are ready for negotiations with the means are now ready to provide an appropriate location for tolls but what we're seeing on the wrong with may to continue in mumbai are loans and people feeling exhausted and angry about was made to hear we can say for sure compromise could be possible but this is definitely a very long way to go 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 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 as military forces with roads closed factories at a stop and foreign workers long since gone from the war stricken country is facing
7:07 am
its worst energy crisis ever the new reality is ordinarily been drivers now spend vast amounts of time queuing for a few months ago this became a common theme in the media in the same 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 most the gas station at the end of life here is the limit only 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 whose. women have too many things to do they don't fight each other world cueing and never shoot into the year is men are in do so we are able to survive after nine hundred cars in. this line is long but others are ruben longer patrols to cheaper than water here
7:08 am
just a few so. as for litter it's just that is often in short supply. if there is no fuel we have to live our cars and return reentry piers that could be days. women 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. up on the bottom of 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 dilemma for 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 have 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 their 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. tripoli. u.s. action in libya reaches its ninety day deadline on sunday and a group of congressmen are suing the president obama for resorting to military engagement without official approval but voice of russia radio host carmen russell's a chance he says he doesn't believe congress will pull the plug on america's involvement. the problem is that when there was a prior lawsuit during clinton's foray into the former yugoslavia dennis kucinich in the group of other congressman even at that time filed a very similar lawsuit saying that it was illegal and it went to a district court for the district court said in the individual congressmen did not
7:10 am
have any sort of standing the reality is i think still a majority of congressmen are star you know going to support the use of the actions in libya and afghanistan and so on congress is not going to you know in mass come and say that we shouldn't be doing this and try to defund it and besides obama is currently using discretionary department of funds discretionary funds to get around it anyway so you know it's a question of how effective would be it works in you know to their benefit we do live in a military industrial complex type of world where they have they have the purse strings they have the power. what happens now that the u.s. military is moving into yemen. if the west goes in with all its starts forming on behalf of unclear who then i think then that will make the situation markedly worse later in the program we'll look at how a secret a washed out for unmanned drone attacks could affect the already dangerous situation inside. plus what's behind russia's frightening rate of teen

suicides one of the highest in the world are reports coming in just a few minutes. a u.s. missile defense plans in europe will have to be revamped after the czech republic pulled out of the project this week or prague said it was not happy with its new smaller role in the system the country was originally supposed to host in advance radar that washington claimed was to help prevent future missile threats from iran the plan was met with harsh criticism from russia and protests at home president obama shelved the original blue threat asking the czechs to host an early warning data center instead activists young to bash and outspoken opponent of progs involvement says the proposed system was flawed from the start. the czech people don't want such a thing here in this country we feel that this will actually undermine the security of both the czech republic and europe as
7:12 am
a continent and so we think that it's completely contradictory to play such and such a system here in europe this system without incorporating russia without talking to also other world super powers like china like india or the following or the far east that will be the biggest world economies in the in the following three years is really going to make a lot of attention go on the global scale and so it we should be wise and just start thinking about building a security mechanisms and structures that will include all the big superpowers not just. this state should have less of an influence in russia's economy that was part of president medvedev vision of the nation's future outlined at the international economic forum in st petersburg this week where he joined business leaders and politicians to discuss the ways russia and the world should be developing their economies artes and he said now we have reports modernization based on stifling
7:13 am
corruption de centralizing power and government reforms all goals voiced by president made at this year's international economic forum here in st petersburg where how russia is going to attempt to become one of the world's biggest and most effective economies was laid out. we shouldn't hesitate to say goodbye to many bad habits we can focus only on a step by step development it's a mistake we should focus on the following improving the investment climate in russia to create new jobs in the regions making progress in the fight against corruption the creation of a multi police service and other security forces improving the effectiveness of the justice system and finally the modernization of government applying modern approaches and the decentralizing of power of course the main bad habit as the president calls it is corruption which he says is choking russia's economy this was his message to the country's officials that don't do business according to the law
7:14 am
. the noose around the neck of those who practice corruption should be tightened in the whole of russia agrees with this without any exception is what corruption is very difficult to deal with the government should be purged of corruption in a more decisive way going for that purpose so we should in harm's way those suspected of corruption are dismissed from public service is another issue that's hampering russia's economic development is it not being a member of the world trade organization lately we're hearing from a lot of officials that exception to the w t o for russia is possible by the end of this year the president agrees but says only under very specific circumstances. we have long been ready to join the w t o more than many other countries small or large and everyone is perfectly aware of that still we are asked to make an unseemly large number of concessions this kind of approach is unacceptable russia will not agree to any evidently unfavorable solutions and of course presumably the
7:15 am
one question on all of the minds of the business executive innovators and world leaders will president medvedev run for reelection well if they have just one question of the forums and this is what medvedev had to say. sure when i consider it appropriate to tell you whether i will do it or not i will come out and say it this forum is not the best place for that one thing you can be sure of is that i will be able to avoid making that statement i will have to tell the people of russia and anyone else who's interested about my decision was that you will not have to wait much longer. every story requires some kind of intrigue otherwise they'll be no interest in living. so let's keep the intrigue a bit longer. and certainly no intrigue surrounding what platform medvedev would run on if he does announce he's running for reelection it will be all about modernization reporting from st petersburg and these are now a party. and among those attending before. it was the chinese leader who did well

7:19 am
poorest country in the region it's the median age or population is less than eighty and it has the greatest social discrepancies of any country in the whole region the last thing it needs is more bombing what it needs is peace what it needs is people coming together and it needs overseas aid to help it develop any government oh political unity emerges to bring together all of the factions and all of the interest across the yemen i cannot believe that. it's likely to bring this about and in their haste to be involved the u.s. look to me like you're in danger of making all the mistakes they made in afghanistan in one nine hundred seventy nine when they rushed in as part of the cold war anyone that turned up offering to fight on their behalf and thus was born the taliban. well over the last century the u.s. has established hundreds of military bases around the world and later today we'll bring you a special report on this expanding web and the risks posed to the countries hosting them. to a substantial degree and one form or another socialism has spread the shadow of the
