to the supreme court to the to the army you know the scout and while the westboro. history books will change for the better the arab spring is a massive opportunity to spread peace prosperity democracy egypt sions are left reading the writing on the wall in many areas it's the same as before don't want to for fun in some areas is getting more worse and he's now a r t. now on our website we're asking what do you think about the current situation in egypt and libya here are the results a far athina percent of you seem to be quite happy with the new democratic look of libya twenty nine percent of you think it's too early to make any conclusions eighteen percent think none of the revolutions have brought positive results in libya is no exception and the majority thirty five percent believe that all the

countries benefited from it the most well do you think that our website r.t. dot com to have your say. meanwhile thousands of civilians are fleeing the city of sirte in libya on masses fighting between gadhafi loyalists and the former rebel forces reaches an apex reports say most of the refugees i headed to the comparative safety overprotected leaving behind their belongings and likely heads that will die critically short of who says food and medicine and there's now a very real threat of a new humanitarian disaster emerging aid workers are rushing to the area but continued fine thing is that preventing access the let's get more on the situation now and cross live to debate a spokeswoman for the international committee of the red cross is all the way to the area she joins me live now by the phone misako to tell you tell us please more about what's going on there is the situation really is dire is the report seem to

suggest. what i mean your eyes are see to you know present january absent for almost a reason now we are going to need. thirty trucks. just at any numbers of families as you mentioned i'm majoring in being disgrace to our stories our instructor doesn't like your victory and says. oh you know all of my very good really and you know the real interest rates of these people who are already very are living in difficult conditions but you know overall no wonder got very game formation you got from these people getting out before nine training that they're in high chairs the full supply is getting growing all there is no one can only see and they have the skills to have here so yeah i mean today this is in brief what i think is a very shall i don't know how it all lies where as you say the situation is

critical the food supplies are running low people there are getting desperate what's being done to reach these people and to try and supply. even with the aid that they need is enough being done for i couldn't tell you i could you can. you say that the situation there is critical the crucial supplies are running low what's being done to try and reach the people who are now displaced and in desperate need of help is enough being done for yes for the i.c.r.c. we have been trying since last week to enter the city of. have all the humanitarian assistance needed but so far we couldn't get the necessary to do to go out and do to be able to go we have a chance it's a good while both about our time does not did not work. and then are were we are we have so in terms of trying our contacts was the party for the conference to be able to get into now for the people who are left so it's already from

a very decent fellow the words very says he is following up closely on the situation and is providing assistance to the fever maybe you want to come to delivering hygiene good. food fire for the tribute water. from competition the conditions in which they are living before the idea of being who i was leaving cert we are providing the necessity for our inside for the moment research didn't manage to get active. or ride. a spokeswoman for the international committee of the red cross that many thanks is beaking to us here on r.t. on the ongoing situation in that do us stay with r.t. to keep across developments on that. now as the world's attention remains fixed on the middle east with continuing violence in libya and palestine stated that at the u.n. artie's that people of l. and it's cost of gas but the organizations credibility under scrutiny the full

program coming up in the next hour has a creepy. if it's a proposed hypothetical the tomorrow the united states of the united kingdom decide to go on a war and the united nations security council doesn't give that you know there's a russia or china or whoever vetoing that particular decision then they decide to step so the united nations and go to war regardless what can the united nations do in reality they can do absolutely nothing and that is where the problem is we were absolutely i agree with you entirely because if i don't know that i should like to . yeah because i do think before we become made to reduce this to a debate about whether colonialism still persists in attitude or fact one should not neglect the other half the other three quarters of the united nations which is doing humanitarian aid around the world where the united nations is the central organizing mechanism for the delivery of food aid for for post-war conflict. blaggard the u.n. using the security council as the only face of the u.n.

whatever one's view of it is it's a real reductionism i. think . i. care standoff continues now in northern costco with locals reinforcing that barricades and then ongoing dispute over border crossings the situations all say that to nato sending more troops to the region already fraught relations between serbia and kosovo plumbs to new depths on tuesday after nato forces try to dismantle barricades provoking bided clashes with our correspondent and it's the reports from the region . well for now the situation really seems to be rather call. everything seems to be quiet and peaceful here in the. course of all the time which is split between. the serbs but they are certain indications that the situation could be.

nearest future because we went to the barricades manmade barricades organized by the yesterday last night and we saw that reinforcing their barricades with fresh piles of sand on the roads to block these roads for the k. four forces and for the course of a police also we heard helicopters for forces flying into the region every literally. understand that those helicopters are bringing fresh troops to the border crossings to. realize a situation now. let's say seventy two hours since violent clashes at the border between. protecting the barricades and the. almost a dozen men still remain in the hospitals with different. time it is really hard to understand who provoked this violence because the nato forces point the finger at

the course of saying that they were the ones who provoked these clashes but at the same time they say they had to use rubber bullets and tear gas grenades against. them. in hospitals here in the. those who were delivered with injuries they are delivered with gunshot wounds so it is really hard to tell what's true and what's false in this whole situation driving around the city we've seen many pictures it's my first time here in more than four years and i've never seen so many serbian flags hanging around this serbian part of the town as well as many on the streets saying that this is. basically reflects the mood it is rather calm but the situation could be escalating and. well this is since july this year when the police decided to pull checkpoints at the border crossings they decided to impose a trade embargo on the serbs living in. the

local reacted furiously by barricades. with the police with the. international reaction to that with washington using the cost of provoking violence and the russian foreign ministry saying that it may seem that this is just a minor border crossing dispute but in fact it could destabilize the situation in the region. ok let's take a brief look at some other news from around the world this hour the yemeni ministry of defense has announced that house kill the u.s. for terrorist mastermind. allegedly involved in a number of attacks on america including the failed times square bombing last year before the shooting rampage in two thousand and nine. has said to be on the c.i.s. priority target list and his death follows the number of failed attempts on his

life by the u.s. army. john is wrong headed into space history after its first. six me and to the all man facility nicknamed the heavenly power this blasted off on a day will stay in orbit for two years. something his plans for its own space station by the end of the decade the module will be used to most of the. venezuelan president hugo chavez is denying rumors of that setback and his health he was referring to a report published in the u.s. newspaper that claimed chavez that been hospitalized again the president said he was taking steroids as he recovers from chemotherapy after finishing his final round of treatment in cuba last week. where the news is there's now a business is days with no.

our welcome to our business update this all thanks for joining me here expects ross i will continue providing a quarter of its gas requirements and as you commission also says that demand for gas will grow twenty percent to six hundred billion cubic metres a year russia is expected to supply one hundred fifty five billion of that he's also says ukraine will keep its position as the main transit country and is looking for its to modernize its gas transport network. where the common policy will continue more or less on the core set by alex a quarter in speaking to business hearty deputy finance minister sergei start check explains the government's thinking in the wake of the shock sacking of his boss. we are was amused if you look at a little bit of history when. the first deputy prime minister. agrees with exponents mr coote written on the key issues he says the parameters of the state

budget for next year which would develop and will remain and that he will not let the ministry agree to any more. let's take a look at how the markets are doing this our oil prices are mixed like sweden is trading at eighty two dollars a barrel while brands land is that one hundred and three dollars but the european stocks are trading lower at the foot of one i have to send down a while the dax is over two percent to a high percentage i read comic is in luxury for i was a leading the false shares in berbera group from the point six percent in london miners and technology stocks are all losing ground shares and u.k. chip designer arm holdings down almost three and a half percent and german car maker b.m.w. fell four percent and russia stocks are in the red now trading session. and now losing over four and a half percent now let's take a look at some individual samples on the last six energy stocks are in the red

where the gas from losing two percent. is down over three percent financials are also on the pressure with his bare bank dropping over three and a half. and russia's top search engine yandex has bought a ten percent stake in its american rivals black oh the fifteen million dollars deal is considered as another step in the company's foreign expansion u.s. market entry coincides with reports that the company continues to lose position in its home market. where the markets have had a generally positive week amid optimism that europe is sorting out its debt problems and. capital believes that investors should take a closer look at oil and banking stocks back. oil companies are a really good bet right now given that there are they should have a double benefit from their margins from a weak ruble there or their export revenues are denominated in dollars which means

that they should have an exceptionally good quarter this quarter the they're also i think quite cheap after the recent sell off also russian banks i think is something else is worth looking at again because there are other quite cheap they're trading at a very little multiples against against book they've been hit harder than most stocks in the recent sell off and so it's also something i would look at specially if there's some resolution coming out of the e.u. ministers meeting early next week. that's our business up at for the day with us for headline news coming up next.
