we have to fight these myths today in memory of those who won in the second world war. libya heads to the polls to choose a new parliament against a backdrop of bloodshed and chaos three years since the overthrow of the gadhafi regime promised to bring peace and democracy. moscow and europe security watchdog for the troops in eastern ukraine to be extended is renewed battles between the army and local militias rattle the temporary ceasefire and as orbiting junk threaten to cut us off from vital communications satellites we speak to the man on a mission to say.

hello they're coming to you live from moscow you're watching r.t. international. libya's libyans go to the polls on wednesday to elect a new parliament this is the country is going through the worst parliaments since the revolution there three years ago since the toppling of moammar gadhafi libya has been on a leadership brand about swapping one head of state for another in fact leverage chosen the head of the new parliament is going to be the country's sixth leader in the last two and a half years and aside from the politicians this popular support for this man a leaf or half a rogue general who launched a war on militias last month his artie's poor sleep. it was a time when david cameron and his allies paraded the libyan revolution as a win for western democracy. and salute your courage was well we are proud of the role that we played to our we know this was your revolution from your

bravery a time when tony blair's handshake with colonel gadhafi was conveniently forgotten and maybe now the british prime minister might want to forget that the libyan democratic project did not turn out quite as planned libya today and therefore libya is. alla violent state ways out political stability zation our internal security for its people always out security in its more dos the point of entry election is underway but the hand of the law seems very far away a spirit of anarchy has taken over libya two months ago parliament was overrun by gunmen and in benghazi they've gone as far as to ban cars being driven at night jihadist militias and gangsters have taken over the streets here it's not the rule of the people it's the rule of thugs. for fear of robbery or other attacks many

gas stations choose to close even though they have an abundance apply and so people start to die out of there is a stable supply of oil then there are long lines in front of gas stations as the climate of fear intensifies a growing number of libyans look to general relief to have tar as they say via his supporters see him as the only man capable of crushing radical armed groups and building a national army the us excel has promised to rid the country of foreign fighters and with strong links to egypt's new president washington considers him a cia asset but not content with meddling from a far the united states has sparked outrage by seizing a libyan citizen from benghazi. america came in and kidnapped a person such as the meds and markets are what we might have different opinion i said about him but this is a libyan citizen no matter who he is they came in and kidnapped someone from

benghazi. but america's saying nothing america is not responsible for what happened in libya nor is it responsible for what's happening in iraq today how is were quick to praise themselves fully when michele if it's in libya and just as fast to disavow all responsibility in being gone see the bombed out ruins from general have times lost offensive are still smoldering libyans office treated but feel powerless even with voting slips in the hands the last time they had a revolution it did not turn out so well police here r.t. . while the twenty eleven two more broad economic instability to libya oil production has dropped sharply in a so far failed to reach pre uprising levels the g.d.p. bounced back a little following the revolution but started falling again as public debt steadily rose the election is now being hailed by many as a way out of the crisis but the director of libya's first policy think tank believes there are still many challenges ahead. well the administrative process of

holding a national election is not too difficult to enforce the difficulty is whether or not those that are chosen through the elections are respected by the collective will of the people where the militias or the wrong groups you know respect the outcomes of of an actual electoral process and that in itself is a very very difficult. it's a very very difficult and of decision or it's coming a very very difficult moment there are definite symptoms in libya that could. result in civil conflict and conflict among stroy absent confidants various militias and but amongst various cities. though i would say that's a very very new want conflict that it's mainly conflict over financial assets i wouldn't say it's a people who has people who are tired versus town all out onslaught and it wouldn't mimic the revolutionary violence that we saw or three years ago but i would say

that there are some dangerous storms the moment. still to come this hour playing with al qaida the cia once considered using asama bin laden dolls with a pillow face the speed of kids in pakistan and afghanistan we've got the story coming up in a few minutes time. this amp retrace in eastern ukraine should be extended that is the call coming from russia supported by the european security watchdog the current cease fire ends on friday morning and it's proving to be very fragile say far it was broken again bar a need fighting near the city survey ends with kiev accusing local militia of shooting down an army helicopter artie's their own cause ref is in eastern ukraine for us. months of deadly violence have taken their toll on the citizens in the east of ukraine but there are signs a political solution could be in the offing at ten does it cease fire is now in

place and moscow's also taking steps to defuse the situation with president putin calling for russian troops to be disallowed from potentially going into ukraine but this could all be for nothing if the truth fails to hold. you shouldn't demand disarmament especially in eastern ukraine while radical groups like the right sector are still carrying weapons although it's often been promised that these basically illegal units will lay down their arms they didn't do that they haven't even left my done yet i believe there's no sense in demanding anti-government activists lay down arms under such circumstances anger continues to simmer in the east and west of the country as fighters from both sides continue to die to plan it. our goal is the complete withdrawal fighters and their placement by people from the general staff and i mean to understand that down month as well as general for less than five now the good it's a real mess it's those in power who have to foist not the ordinary people. what's

going to build it when you have deputies there or their children or people from the general staff or ministry of defense then it will all come to an end very quickly. shellshocked slug gallons can speed without electricity food and water supplies for weeks with most of the residents forced to seek shelter in russia where dozens of refugees camps have sprung up those who chose to stay behind however still hold out hope for a political settlement. that is june still it has to be solved by political means not guns. the most important thing is live on would give life to our children and what they see now is a war i don't want my kids to leave like this so. we need to have hope we need to have to be tortured. this friday the last day of the ceasefire may prove that turning point showing whether the shaky troops will hold or simply break down from

our culture of art see the netsky crane. meanwhile the u.s. and the u.k. are still threatening russia with further sanctions you can head to r.t. dot com to find out why and to follow our live updates on the crisis in ukraine. now a game of real life space invaders is being played out over our heads costly satellites risk being hit by a rising amount of space junk but to stop the lesions like this one. my colleague like to carter who claims his start up business can bring sweeping changes in space. totally depended on the satellite on a city like technologies like communications with or broadcasting g.p.s. so we should keep that space as it to be very sustainable summarize for me if you

can exactly the plan that your company has for reducing the danger of space debris we let you be moved top two hundred space debris the largest degree so that we just have the lies but they're still in a space all the ships the space and to do that we're now designing the catch a satellite which sticks to the end of big them down to their atmosphere and then and also the mother ship which paints. the lights the other for example if you're something like he's lost by debris it would have taken more than five years to precede and more than one hundred millions to cover it so that's huge. still to come green is green paste an executive from the organization has been called flying back and forth to work despite their anti campaign we'll bring you the story a bit later in the crowd. were

all told i'm a language of war but i will only react to situations i have read the reports for. the pollution and no i will leave them to the state department to comment on your latter point someone to say. to carry out a call is on the docket delgado. they do no more weasel work. when you need a direct question do you prepared for a change when you have to. be ready for a. freedom of speech is little doubt the freedom to. i cannot correct or.

wrong. obviously now right and. wrong but if the public is like. ours if drones satellites and tracking devices to thwart al qaida in pakistan were not enough the cia was also once considering using children's toys that was according to reports in american media that's now being confirmed by the spy agency . has got the details the toy market is a lucrative industry generating a reported eighty four billion dollars in global revenue and it makes sense everywhere around the world toys generally make kids happy except when the cia gets

involved according to the washington post the spy agency concocted a plan in two thousand and five to develop osama bin ladin demon dolls aimed at scaring children and their parents the goal to instill fear in families that would cause them to turn away from the real terrorist the twelve inch figurines world painted with heat dissolving material designed to peel off and reveal a red faced demon like creature with pure c. green eyes and black markings the code name for the project was devil eyes the plan was to distribute the toys to children in afghanistan and pakistan where the cia was trying to win hearts and minds the cia claims only three prototypes were divel . before the project was canceled however a source tells the washington post that hundreds of bin ladin demon action figures were developed and sent to karate in two thousand and six although the cia did not

move forward with the covert operation one of the creepy demon figures reportedly remains at the agency's headquarters reporting from washington d.c. marina point r.t. . well the cia claims the project was halted one prototypes were developed but sources in china close to the project said hundreds of the video life figures were delivered to pakistan middle east. things there are better ways to help children than. psychological war or fear is. a weapon in any struggle in modern day warfare but it's not the only. factor that defines these kinds of. measures that the usually the secret service or intelligence community takes in fighting terrorism however since these action figure those were directed to children who try to create live music

in the subconscious that bin laden is or monitor or what he represents and search for i believe maybe a different approach like investing in the u.k. should of these children would be of much higher results. not a bad luck of the spanish national football team didn't end with being booted out of the world cup competition their trip home is eliminated when lightning struck the plane and plays back to madrid head to our website at r.t. dot com for the details and while you're there check out how british doctors are trying to shield the younger generation from smoking by not allowing them to buy cigarettes ever the details of the controversial initiative a just a click away. right from the scene. search for you and i think that you're.

was a. pleasure to have you with us here on our team today. again welcome back greenpeace may be campaigning for us to cut down on travel because of carbon emissions but when it comes to their chiefs they seem to have a different attitude one of the drinks top executives has flown from luxembourg to amsterdam and back on a daily basis at the charity's expense since twenty twelve not counting huge costs

the organization his travel has a manta to over seven tons of carbon dioxide that's the equivalent almost three tons of recycled waste the same as one household annual can electricity consumption and consuming seventeen barrels of oil has the same carbon footprint according to the u.s. environmental protection agency ryan holiday wrote a book about greenpeace his policies and he believes they would spray often do not match their actions most observers are. critical is especially when you hear executives defending it as as a compromise between you know the needs of a business and impacting the environment which is basically exactly what greenpeace others not to do what i assume that what people are upset about is greenpeace is very public about condemning other people for their decisions and their you know sort of environmental impact and then in private or behind closed doors is sort of

doing whatever they personally is best or personally benefits down and that's where you see charges that are sort of hypocrisy you know greenpeace because it has a noble mission or because they think they have a noble mission they are somehow. you know above the rules or can do whatever they think is right and that kind of relativity creates the problems that we're talking about now. thick clouds of smoke covered parts of the russian city of novosibirsk after a half constructed shopping center court fire at least two people have been taken to hospital with burns residents of several nearby buildings have been evacuated because of the heavy smoke because of the fire which damaged several stories of the building is still on. the international news brief now starting with paris where police have cracked down on striking rail workers over five hundred people gathered in the center of the capital angry plans to privatizing part of the national rail

u.k. have been sounding the alarm over the influx of immigrants from romania and bulgaria after brussels lifted the employment restrictions for them the sheer but latest figures show the number of those coming from the eastern european countries to work in britain has actually dropped since then meanwhile many brits are choosing to leave the u.k. and settle down in remain near as artesia piece going off. as. you know michael is british but spent most of his life outside the u.k. his father worked in the military and the family's done its fair share of globetrotting but it's in romania where mike decided to settle down and open a bore he's been running for five years now the opportunities out of my life in my chest still the nightlife you know i like to party and that's one of the reasons why i went into this business i love the people the clients the kind of chance you know and the medium seem more than welcoming since the beginning of this year

they've been able to travel and work all over the e.u. some british deputies worried immigrants could start flooding in even suggested running a scare campaign to put them off coming to the u.k. there are many unpressed saw the letter side of the situation and started campaigning for british citizens to move here and work instead since romania's accession to the e.u. in two thousand and seven brits no longer have to register when they move here so it's hard to say the exact number of them living here but according to the british embassy it's somewhere between three and four thousand and some have even made a business out of helping other newcomers to get started in this country like jean edgar another british ex-pat who left the u.k. eight years ago after his eighty company went bankrupt he makes a living here by helping other ex-pats register firms find staff buy property and offers other help of foreign businessmen may need when setting up shop rumania has a long long way to go before it could be perceived as let's say

a western european type country but for a guy like myself yes i would recommend anyone to come here romania is far from the wealthiest of the e.u. states in fact with the average salary of less than four hundred euros per month it's one of the poorest but to the surprise of many word of a mass exodus of romanians to the rest of the e.u. this country has actually given thousands of westerners opportunities they couldn't find at home you got this going off r g book arrest. up next not international every night in the navigation through the banking system and being busted if you're watching a sneak a breaking the set is just. plain . placed series of places trying to claim a place to play polo going to begin to earn enough money to get the title or

. hello there i'm marinating this is boom bust and these are some of the stories that we're tracking for you today first up u.s. prosecutors have reached a settlement over fraud claims b.n.p. perry bought that will see the french firm temporarily banned from trading in u.s. dollars i repeat banned from trading in u.s. dollars i mean this is a pretty big deal and we'll look into its implications on the global banking system then poland roche's on the program today colin is sitting down with me to discuss the u.s. economy are we finally thawing out after a brutally rigid start to the year world discuss coming right up and in today's big deal edward harrison and i are talking about the current conflict in iraq and help the potentially imperiled the oil markets you won't want to miss

a moment to it. our lead story today american banking exceptionalism in the framework of the b.n.p. dispute now right now a french bank b.n.p. perry ball is being investigated for a laundry money for the sudanese and the iranians u.s. authorities are looking into whether b. and p. evaded u.s. sanctions between two thousand and two and two thousand and nine and whether the bank stripped out identifying information from wire transfers in order to pass through the u.s. financial system without raising any red flags and allegedly covering up forty million dollars in transactions now u.s.

regulators are currently working out settlement terms with the banks which are expected to him. roughly eight or nine billion dollars in fines the fines will settle charges that the bank was doing illegal business however on top of the cash payments the french bank is also being pressured to plead guilty to a crime that crime scene conspiracy to violate the international margins the economic power act now a guilty plea will consequently allow regulators to temporarily bore b.n.p. from processing any dollar payments at all now this is a very big deal the ability to process and move money in u.s. currency is vital and i mean to be n.p. the department of financial services is also weighing whether to bar dollar clearing for the whole bank or just certain units more closely responsible for the alleged money laundering now if regulators were to ban all of b.n.p. from processing in dollars they would likely go out of business so yeah like i said

big deal now understandably french authorities are livid and they're saying that they can't understand what b.n.p. did wrong in the first place as the bank hasn't broken any french laws now journalist felix salmon recently wrote in the financial times the following no other country can get away with this what we are seeing is unapologetic american exceptionalism manifesting as extraterritorial power mongering using financial regulation as a vehicle for international power politics is extremely effective it is also very cheap compared with say declaring war now i have to say i agree with felix completely what the us is doing is tantamount to what our dear friend mr jim rickards calls financial warfare now here's the question why are laws set up in the first place to keep order to help the system operate smoothly and to bring justice to those who are wronged so.
