it's a peace conference and aimed at putting an end to the years long conflict in libya but the country's vast oil reserves are acting as a magnet to those vying for a share of the results is. the term all on the israeli border as israeli jets strike the gaza strip in response to heavy rocket fire two palestinians have died. but the feet was it was. her students and teachers pull into the streets of paris to show their distaste for president emanuel proposed education

cuts which could endanger thousands of jobs. and the u.s. judge ordered a state prison service to consider a transgender woman surprised to be held in an all female facility we put the issue up for defects. prison is a tough place it's all well everyone should be safe but that doesn't mean that special privileges should be granted to people who claim that they're transgender it's not a perk for a treatment it's about keeping these people alive and actually. it's eight o'clock am in moscow and you're watching all t. international live with me in a day or two to welcome to the program heads of states leaders of local tribes and militias from libya expected to attend an international conference in. in

a bid to solve the libyan conflict civil war broke out after the ousting of colonel gadhafi in twenty eleven france has also been trying to establish itself as a regional peacemaker though as the right explains it could be an ulterior motive behind the apparent 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. 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 controls almost half the country fronts with its regular peace summit where. plays the

matchmaker paris wants elections as soon as possible one of the crucial elements is the organization of presidential and parliamentary elections on the symbol ten 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 only for one doesn't want elections premature and they think conditions aren't right they say and france france wants something else they fear my fear is that someone for economic motives and selfish national interest is 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 the united nations were indeed with the libyan people move over matt called. you tried and your summits failed room is hosting its own get

together for peace but rumors say general hafta may be too busy to attend what with storming the capital and all tripoli 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 law can't 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 against liberation of the international position towards libya and the direction of libya so that we can overcome this crisis 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 friend trival totalis has also been buying up drilling rights eager to get the pumps going this is a competition with billions at stake b.p. is the largest producer and was the largest producer of oil in africa and not only that but it's highly prized because of its. tentacles. qualities that so-called

sweet low sulfur oil so it's highly prized in its refining is easier than some of the other stuff from their present at least so everybody wants that problem is mr cars area controlled 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 backing a group 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 more sanctions on iranian oil what's remarkable is that and the stool this and this war. 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. people we talked to in libya's capital tripoli expressed their skepticism that a positive outcome from the meeting would be achieved. by visual owens i believe it was 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 the conference there is nothing new happening the right solution is not wishful thinking the real congress. who puts all the parties at the conference solution because the people has suffered enough as you can see god guided them and blistered gumtree. 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. israeli fighter jets have carried out a series of air strikes on territory in the gaza strip as after the israeli defense forces claimed rockets fired from gaza had hit a bus while we're going to discuss this further with a local adjourned al-sayed you know what more do we know on this latest escalation . well till now there are dozens of rockets that are. going probably gaza strip on this album border that separates gaza from israel and also there are strikes that israeli air strikes have not stopped the ministry of health palestine has reported three killed and told now injuries we have also twelve we have on the israeli side we have twelve injuries as well five of them where in the bus that was struck by

a rocket from gaza strip now of course all this is completion and has happened as a result of what has happened last night. there was a special operation israeli operation in the south east. of gaza as they got into a civilian car or they were in a civilian car they got into gaza strip of in a distant of three kilometers there was an exchange of gunfire between hamas. members and the israeli forces in that civilian car the exchange of gunfire led to the killing of a senior officer of the israeli forces and another being injured and then that's close air strikes to happen right away now what happened today from hamas. and firing all those rockets on israel sees that is.

what the response that is supposed to be the normal response that is supposed to come out of hamas or as a result to. the escalation that happened by the israeli forces yesterday in entering the gaza strip. ok great for the update there and of course there are strikes are still heard. yes until now there are strikes do still continue in different areas of gaza strip and also rockets. continue to be fired on israel we know also that there is a house that has been struck in israel there are no serious injuries until now except one that has been reported but until now this is how the situation is going on. and the airstrikes continue to happen ok we'll i'm

sure we'll come back to you for any further updates local journalists. thank you. now following yesterday's protests against u.s. president trump in the french capital another rally is taking place in paris this monday this time students and teachers are marching against a new education reform could result in thousands of jobs being lost our correspondent charlotte is in paris for us but people here a defiant they say that this suggestion which has been proposed in the budget for two thousand and nineteen will actually be discussed more at the national assembly here fronts could result in the loss of two thousand six hundred and fifty jobs being cut these are jobs from the higher education from colleges here in france and the teachers here say they're unhappy about this they say it doesn't make any sense given that the ministry of education is only figures show that in the next few

years there's going to be an increase of. additional students every year so they say how does that work if we can't the jobs how do we then have enough staff to be able to teach the students here in france and they're angry i was speaking to one woman early he said we've been out protesting against macro now for the last eighteen months or so and sometimes we feel just spawn didn't we remember every time there's a protest that we have to come out we have. to make all voices heard because she said this is the only way that she feels that they will ever be able to change some of the reforms that much corn has been implementing role the rapid speed since he became president back in two thousand and seventeen so people hit cooling for a change they cooling from not going to listen to people in the streets they're saying that yes she had suggested what is referred to as would be when he became president when he was elected but what they saying is that the pace of the reforms

is chief fast and there is not enough discussion and they are angry about that and as such hundreds of come out to the streets yet again to protest against those that changes by the government here in france and in recent weeks we have seen of the protests protests by pension is unions have been out describing the government policy as breaking the social fabric and we also source traffic to nome a standstill in paris when paramedics went out in strike just a week ago. as

the world was commemorating the fallen soldiers of the first world war on sunday a race scandal played out in one small town in england more on that story after the short break. during the past thirty years lebanon has been subject to six invasions from israel

. six invasions. over five years we are having. one and this is definitely. to your health lover. welcome back to the program u.s. federal judge has urged prison officials in illinois to reconsider a transgender woman's denied request to be moved to a women's prison it comes after the inmate took legal action against the state's correctional department claiming that she's treated like a sex slave in men's facilities twenty six year old strawberry hampton is currently serving a ten year sentence for burglary she says she's faced sexual abuse in all four of

the men's prisons she's been held and hamilton has had her previous requests for transfer denied and argues that she would be safer in a women's prison her lawyer has praised the federal judge says intervention. this is an important step not only for school but in general for transgender women imprisoned across the nation the department of corrections which is responsible for the supervision of inmate says it 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. we discussed american present policy towards times tend to people rights activist and stephen is right and political commentator stink mouth. trumpet ministration 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 the 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 to 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 decent study so it's very very important that we train these prison facilities better just like the entire society needs to be trained and more informed about the very specific

issues that are affecting transgender people nationwide three looking 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 women when they are 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 you to have seen 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 president men and men and male prisoners are raped or attacked or pekin it's terrible so anyone that wants a transfer out they're going to get the same treatment as this transgender no they're not i mean prison is a talk 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 it 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 in the best interest of these prison systems who are using these people for cheap

or free labor. a statue of a secret honoring those who fought in the first world war from the subcontinent times being finalized in the u.k. the incident happened in a small town in england just days after the monument with unfound he said treating it as a racially aggravated criminal damage the so-called lions of the great war monument depicting an engine soldier and conditional sea trius was put up in smethwick one week before the centenary commemorations of the end of well one but just five days later the phrase is no more was sprayed along the. ace it's a term previously used to refer to indian soldiers serving in the british or other european armies.

a member of the town's neighborhood policing team expressed concern over the vandalism he assured the community that the motive and culprits were being looked into by authorities this is not the first instance the sikh community has been reportedly targeted in recent years in august the doors of a temple in the scottish capital with set alight by a petrol bomb there were no injuries but significant damage was done to the building and back in february this year rob need to sing was assaulted outside the houses of parliament in london waiting to meet an m.p. a man tried to pull off his turban before shouting muslim go back home and in twenty sixteen three teenagers detonated a homemade bomb at a sikh temple during a wedding party in the german city of s.

and well we're joined live now by finn digit sing the principal advisor to the sikh federation an engineer which advises political parties on religious issues now thanks for joining us here on the program firstly some terrible incidents that we pointed out then however the world does a great day to seek soldiers around a hundred and thirty thousand of whom fought in the great war what do you think triggered this latest act of vandalism. well i think. he described this was last week seen as a as a huge thing for much the sikh community in the u.k. but throughout the globe we were having a monument called the lions of the great war in a place like in the hearts what's turned the black country up you're recognizing sikh sacrifices one hundred years ago and that that sense of jubilation that sense of recognizing those sacrifices and the freedoms we enjoy

today were within a matter of days by by what we described as a senseless and cowardly act you know through vandalism. i was there's lots of speculation of who may or may not be behind this i think the police have been right say you know this could be a racist attack because one of the words hues which is supply as it's called to support it actually was a british term used in a drug tree way to describe people work illiterate or not trained from the indian subcontinent so where did this actually does know something about. indian history. yeah i mean it's obvious they take an awful long time for that recognition that you were talking about why do you think it has taken. that

pair of time to dedicate a statue like this to the sikh soldiers of world war one in the u k. well i think this is this is a reflection. in britain here where is a very large c. and b. and most the street goes two hundred years it is a real shame it's not the first monument the monuments in graves and contrie recognise and see sacrifice but this is the first one in this last period of four years which is going to a lot of positive publicity hopefully the years time that we wanted central london it bob square but this was the last thing and your want it was within days of the founders to actually and it upset a lot of people not just from the sikh community but across all communities and if anything is vandals it done have actually brought people together and drawn further

attention to. the world war one you know result in a huge loss of life and the contribution of soldiers from south asia was just on a massive scale over eighty three thousand sikhs who lost their lives in the first and second world war and considering you know sikhs were less than two percent of what was then india park started in bangladesh. more than twenty percent of the army was sikh and army just returned from france and belgium wrote that we can and it was so moving being in the paper to mark you know the end of the great war and the thousands of people who came up to members of the sikh community wanted to pose for us want to know about. it's a huge positive feeling in that sense ok well i hope the police do find out who the

perpetrators are thank you so much depend a good thing pence monetising to the sink federation for coming on to r.t. thanks. thank you i thought roundup of the news for now if you want to have a closer look at any of our stories. but next up it's a documentary on deck offline. that never. leave. the world. i. am.

joined me everything. seems wrong. to shape our. ticket and in. the trailer. park. you know world big partisan movies a lot of things and conspiracy it's time to wake up to dig deeper to hit the

stories that mainstream media refuses to tell more than ever we need to be smarter we need to stop slamming the door on the bats and shouting past each other it's time for critical thinking it's time to fight for the middle for the truth the time is now we're watching closely watching the hawks. i've been saying the numbers mean something they've matter the u.s. has over one trillion dollars in debt more than ten white collar crimes happen he did. eighty five percent of the global wealth he longs to the ultra rich eight point six percent market saw thirty percent rise last year some with four hundred to five hundred trade per second per second and bitcoin rose to twenty thousand dollars. china is building a two point one billion dollar

a i industrial park but don't let the numbers overwhelm. the only number you need to remember is one one business shows you can't afford to miss the one and only boom but. it's hard to imagine the decades after the war a nazi don't tell was still active and rich in the nineteen seventies critelli head as the chair of its board a man convicted of mass murder and slavery at ash was a german company going until it develops in the demise a drug that was promoted as completely safe even during pregnancy it turned out to have terrible side effects what has happened to my baby is anything but. you know she said she's just cut short arms many samina mind victims i have to this day received no compensation then never apologize. for the suffering that i do not only want the money i want the revenge.

the. parts of. course i don't. trust in a choice.
