a. long conflict in libya with the country's oil reserves acting as a magnet to those vying for a share of the resources. poland's president joins right wing groups on the nationalists march through warsaw to celebrate the one hundredth anniversary of their country's reestablishment doesn't independence day. also coming up this hour a u.s. judge orders a state prison service to consider if a transgender woman can be held in an all female facility the issue of pre-debate. place it's all cool everyone should be safe but that doesn't mean that they should privilege should be granted to people who claim that they're transgender it's not a preferential treatment it's about keeping these people alive and that is actually in the best interest of these prison systems.
4:02 am
are four am in boston four pm in. day right here in moscow this monday november the twelfth welcome to our to international it's really it's hosting an international conference on libya this monday the aim to end the conflict in the country that's been dragging on since the ousting of colonel gaddafi in twenty eleven. trying to establish itself as a regional peacemaker. explains there could be all teary or motive behind all the apartment good intentions. seven years it's been seven long chaotic years a country torn apart two governments countless warlords tribes gangs duking it out for power and all will.
4:03 am
of course everyone's trying to help stop this italy which has been flirting with general half star who leads one of the two rival libyan government and controls almost half the country fronts with its regular peace summit swear macrorie plays the matchmaker paris wants elections as soon as possible one of the crucial elements is the organization of presidential and parliamentary elections on december tenth twenty eight it's a commitment on the basis of this process to fully and safely give their sovereignty back to the libyan people and allow them to express it on this date but it's really for one doesn't want elections premature and they think conditions aren't right they say and france france once something else they fear my fear is that someone for economic motives and selfish national interest is
4:04 am
putting the security of north africa at risk and result of europe as a whole i'm thinking of someone who waged a war that should have been waged someone who said election days without discussing it with allies with united nations were indeed with the libyan people move over mad cause you tried to end your summits failed room is hosting its own get together for peace but rumors say general haftar may be too busy to attend what with storming the capital and all trip. must be liberated and will not remain in the wrong hands the armed forces will act after making proper assessments we will move on tripoli at the proper time why is tripoli so important you might ask legitimacy it's the capital the government that currently controls it is the un recognized one general have tub controls half the country much of the oil but he by international
4:05 am
law sell it only the recognized government can he needs the capital and make no mistake the libyans understand well what the europeans are up to and why they're backing different sides. of course there is negative intervention from some countries which we've mentioned during several meetings and it's a national forest this needs to be taken into account and this should be it can sleep nation of the international position towards libya and the direction of libya so that we can overcome this crisis in libya has the largest proven oil reserves in africa and italy france want as much as they can get italian or oil giant any recently purchased a large part of b.p.'s oil and gas license with the aim of increasing exploration french rival totalis has also been buying up drilling rights eager to get the pumps
4:06 am
going this is a competition with billions at stake b.p. is the largest producer and was the largest producer of oil. and not only that but it's boiled is highly prized because of its its technical quality is its so-called sweet low sulfur so it's highly prized and it's refining is easier than some of the other stuff or other person at least so everybody wants it problem is mr hafter area controls all the oil. that's the real question and not to be too cynical that's what the europeans are most concerned about originally they were back in tripoli just on the order of stability because it was recognized by the united nations but increasingly the europeans were getting very frightened. more strife in libya will further cut off their oil supplies especially now with the prospect of
4:07 am
more sanctions on iranian oil what's remarkable is that and the stool this endless war the enormous slavery crime will production is on the up by the end of next year they plan on increasing production to. levels one point six million barrels a day you can question their priorities but you can only admire the dedication so what's the hopes for the conference from people in the bay well we spoke to some in the capital tripoli who really expressed their skepticism that a positive outcome from the meeting would be. we want something useful we want a productive meeting we want them to agree on something and then return to the libyan people and tell them that they're found a solution no one has found a solution. with regard to conference there is nothing new happening the right
4:08 am
solution is not wishful thinking but real and concrete were more than one who puts all the parties to the bloom of conference solution because the people who suffered enough as you can see may god guide them and blissed gone through. i think there is an undeniable conflict between the italian and french states over economic interests as well as over control and the image of the two countries. we had stateside now where a u.s. federal judge has ordered prison officials in illinois to reconsider a transgender woman's deny and request to be moved to a women's prison now it comes after the inmate took legal action against the state's correctional department claiming that she was treated like a sex slave in men's facilities twenty six year old dion strawberry hampton is currently serving a ten year sentence for burglary she said she has faced sexual abuse in all four of the men's prisons she's been held in m ten has had her previous request for
4:09 am
a transfer denied an argues that she would be safer in a women's prison or a lawyer has praised the federal judge's intervention. this is an important step not only for school but in general for transgender women in prison across the nation the department of corrections which is responsible for the supervision of inmates say said makes every possible effort to safeguard vulnerable prisoners. the illinois department of corrections maintains a strict a zero tolerance policy towards all forms of sexual abuse and sexual harassment the department carefully considers housing assignments and the unique needs of offenders who identify as transgender well it is an issue that's been creeping up and we've been hearing much more about it so we decided to discuss prison policy in america towards transgender people with rights activist anthony rogers right but first here's political commentator steve malzberg if you. trumpet ministration
4:10 am
recently loosened and changed regulations that came down under the obama administration they say that if you're if you're judged on what you are based on your biological sex ok so this person that we're talking about in chicago in illinois though i would be judged a male under the trumpet ministration and the reason it was changed is because female prisoners in texas had a similar situation and they sued they didn't want a transgender male who said he was a woman coming to their prison they said it was an invasion of their property that you keep everybody safe but you don't start making accommodations special accommodations and gender dysphoria is accepted by the american medical association in american psychological association as distress from gender assignment at birth so this isn't just something that people are doing for fun this is a recognized medical condition based on science based on research and based on study so it's very very important that we train these prison facilities better just
4:11 am
like the entire society needs to be trained and more informed about the very specific issues that are affecting transgender people nationwide free marketing about personality people twenty people how much money do you want to spend how many special provisions you want to make in a system that probably doesn't have enough money in the first place for twenty people you need to keep everybody say if but you can start making special provisions to anybody who says that they feel like there are there were women when they were met born a man could be classified as trans gender whether they mean it or don't mean it i mean you have to consider the masses as opposed to the twenty people involved. well that's a very very dangerous. mode of speaking i happen to be from what is referred to as a minority class and just because white people are in the majority does not mean that as an african-american or a light next person that we should be subjected to white supremacy secondly it's hard for he said i have seen
4:12 am
a lot of the letter that you talking about what our earth are you talking about white supremacy if i could if i could just finish it's hard for me to have sympathy for the prison system not having enough money when they were able to donate hundreds of millions of dollars to the donald trump campaign all the time prisoners regular present men and men in male prison is all raped or attacked or pekin that's terrible so anyone that wants to transfer out they're going to get the same treatment as this transgender and no they're not i mean prison is a tough place it's awful everyone should be safe but that doesn't mean that spec actual privileges should be granted to people who claim that they're transgender it's just not fair instances of violence is not a a function of preferential treatment is a function of safety we also have special provisions for younger inmates we have special provisions for inmates who are proven to be suffering from mental health illness it's not a preferential treatment it's about keeping these people alive and that is actually
4:13 am
in the best interest of these prison systems who are using these people for cheap or free labor anyway. but a mere pittance donald trump were among the heads of state attending world war one commemorations in parra son sunday while the two didn't have a natural meeting they still managed to grab headlines for what was described as an over friendly body language the new hawkins' the scots the reaction with r.t. america host scotty you know he's. and this time they're actually being very tight lipped in fact this weekend that was something very uncharacteristic of a trumpet mr eisner top of it is that we didn't have a lot of details we didn't have a behind the scenes being leaked out to the two new york times the washington post which it makes me think that possibly the leaks might have been locked down or more importantly we're talking about such serious issues that even those who might if they could have passed rely on that is to not in the best interest of either country or any of the parties involved and it's of some interest of course there was a lot of media speculation on both sides from from the american the russian side and
4:14 am
in the end the believe the president chalet due to circle said the reason why it didn't go ahead was pretty much out of respect for the french so i don't quite adamant they didn't want this to happen. probably probably a good idea as we discussed i think it's a good idea but i think it's not only just out of respect for the french who are your host i think more important out of respect for the reason why they were here to honor the veterans across the world international they gave their lives up for world war one in all the conflicts going on i think it actually had been very inappropriate for president bush and president trying to meet together and i think they actually showed very good respect for each other more probably the soldiers that were being honored this weekend by choosing not to take the tenth attention away from them. they were there to commemorate the hundredth anniversary of the end of world war one so it does make sense that they were going to postpone that meeting since they'll have another opportunity very shortly but the world is in a serious situation now and we need to be speaking to each other me country after
4:15 am
country conducting the largest military exercises largest war games in decades and how this should not be forgotten the broader context is that the world is rapidly sliding into war again so the lessons of the commemoration of world war one day ghastly war that horrific war in which tens of millions of people died which upset the international order which paves the way to even more terrell. things that were going to come we have to learn the lessons the problem is that our leaders don't learn the lessons of history play head of armistice day donald trump criticized president mccrone over his proposal to create a european army calling it insulting however in paris they glossed over any such differences agreeing that more defense spending is in fact needed in europe r.t. france i asked him or putin for his view on that.
4:16 am
alternative military forces are not a new idea president micron has simply revived it europe is a large powerful economic unit and obviously it seeks independence and sovereignty in terms of defense and security i see it as a positive process in terms of strengthening the multipolar world. where president putin also spoke to us about the pressures various media are facing these days because. we have always heard from our western partners that one of the main principles of democracy is freedom of information creating lists and special counsel switch decide which media is bad and which is good this is unacceptable but this has nothing to do with democracy. well back to his american counterpart it is rare if a double trump visit abroad occurs with protests was no exception. to
4:17 am
londoners here. as a baby flying over the french protesters his immigration and foreign policies and said there are growing weary of the us president. it's a disgrace to america and we think that time does not represent american people. somebody would look at you in any shape or form and i just think you know he's putting america he's not a french issue is a global issue and that's why we're here protesting he's not welcome here he's not welcome anywhere there are lots of other problems in the world and one of the things that's upsetting me about trump is that he's distracting us from these other issues. for those of you watching us from the u.k. i'm wearing a wild blue tie today that may seem obvious to many of you but more than fifty
