which joined in russia's far eastern territory and it would take one two weeks for these barrels to reach there now what we're hearing is that the chinese authorities are saying that that's unlikely to happen the boughs run likely to reach the a mile and they've actually pitted eight barriers as a preventative measure to stop them crossing into russian territory now this is cause happen with the flooding that's happening in china the most the worst flooding that china has seen a nearly a decade and this close around seven thousand barrels actually wash from the chemical storage facility into the still river and around four thousand of the we've heard reports. of three thousand containing this chemical substance the clean up operation now well underway concerns on both sides of this the about the potential environmental impact where any of these chemical substances leaked into the water say both sides monitoring this cleanup operation of very closely indeed not particularly the chinese side confirms the accident and said i don't like

taking all necessary measures several teams are connecting the barrels along with our who are rebar now with the monitoring environment in the region so far no changes in the want to call it to have been detected at the same time russian specialists have registered no changes in the water quality for the past several days in the two nearest regions risen additional around the clock water quality monitoring of the. present there is no health risk for the people living in the area accident is under the control of the regional and local centers of the emergency ministry but we've heard that is posing no immediate threat to people's lives or health sciences have warned that the substances that are contained in some of these barrels of potentially potentially dangerous chemical substances and we've heard one of these substances is a clear flammable substance that if it comes into contact with human or animal skin would cause bird so obviously there are concerns about. chinese authorities again

have said that the barrels that are in the water all leak so it's certainly hope that that won't happen it's not the first time a situation like this is occurred in two thousand and five a chemical spill saw millions of people in china cut off from that water supply you know when this incident happened there was some panic amongst chinese people buying up was concerned that that would happen again and in fact the authorities. but briefly in china. whether that was the maintenance or whether that was a response to the incident happening as he said the cleanup operation now underway and everyone just watching that happening hoping hoping oversee that no further damage is caused from this situation so first reporting there now germany's national conscience is wrestling with the idea of keeping potential re offenders under lock and key even after your sentences are up so called preventive detention has drawn breath from a european human rights watchdog this means potentially dangerous individuals could

soon be back in the community. and reports. shifty a nervous status that's all we managed to see walter h. a motor a sex offender now living in the german city of saud he's going to do all day every day by the least for policeman but he's escaped from his mind as before and locals are worried he'll do it again and seeing of this very dangerous for the people. in their area because they don't know that such people. such people live close to them i believe that the security. environment is a big. good. house probably only. from the prison normally if you work in this building there's no police but since he's living here there's over they police all the peace. well the town are talking about

it. and all the other people don't want him to be here because there is a school next door and there's a kindergarten. mr rate should still be in prison under germany's policy of preventive detention it was designed to keep offenders like him behind bars even after a sentence was served because they were still deemed a danger to the public but it was a policy that fell foul of the european court of human rights which ruled the practice unlawful the german government argued it worked and defended it to the end it's get pushed into failing of course there's a danger to convict could stay in preventive detention for the rest of his life but to avoid the situation we have frequent specialist checks to assess their condition and he paedophile campaigner thomas brookman opposes preventive detention that's because he wants longer sentences in the first place. last year another sex offender not given preventive detention was released back into his community a move that still causes angry protests today now these fears of being replicated

across germany god would be for a few of these criminals we repeat such crimes again that's the worst thing that could happen and it probably will happen because they weren't critter way others also think the new arrangements are less than satisfactory it costs far more to keep offenders under guard in the community than behind bars the german newspaper billed put the figure at twelve thousand euros a day compared to one hundred a day in prison a large price to pay when lawyers argue it hardly provides the freedoms of daily life if he goes into a shop and there's always two people following him if he goes to a doctor two people are next to him and that's that's impossible to have a normal life michael ray burger is now fighting for greater freedoms mr h. the criminals right serve little worry to most germans and chris about the safety of their own families people who are concerned about this man in their midst but

it's estimated there could be at least another two hundred twenty dangerous criminals released soon across germany was thought might ease conscience's in strasburg doesn't ease anyone's nerves here tom barton r.t. germany. coming up this hour here in our team made the pioneers of russian being set to make a killing in our close up series. and a for the average impact of the b.p. oil spill in the gulf of mexico has been as disastrous to the firm's finances as it has to the environment the crisis has forced b.p. c.e.o. to step down brought eleven billion pounds in losses already and to force the sale of assets to pay for the cleanup and compensation claims there is now some debate over just how bad the environmental impact will be some scientists by. leaving effects will be felt for decades while there is some evidence that the leak has been clearing from the surface of the water much faster than expected time

magazine's michael grunwald thinks exaggerating the damage as a way for some to promote their individual janice. just about everybody has called this the worst environmental disaster the u.s. has ever faced and i went down to louisiana last week assuming that they were right there just doesn't seem to be a lot of evidence for that one of the scientists i talked to this is like a sunburn on a cancer patient so we don't know what we don't know and the long term impacts are certainly impossible to know right now but there's not much evidence that an environmental catastrophes you know the media has an obvious interest in kind of hyping these things to drive ratings and certain politicians are using it to attack obama or some politicians were using it to you know to try to promote the idea that we need to get away from fossil fuels but nobody really has you know that much of the incentive to say well hey you know the data doesn't really seem to show that

this is way as much as it's been cracked up to be what's important is looking looking at the data you know i'm getting i'm getting a lot of a lot of backlash people are saying like this is crazy how can you make these premature judgments we have no idea what the future is going to hold we have no idea what the impacts going to be my response is oh now you tell us the last three months you've been telling us this is the biggest environmental disaster in history and now you're saying we have no idea what's going to happen so i guess i'm trying to put a little bit of lid on some of the hype has michael grunwald senior correspondent time magazine joining us from miami. and still to come here in our team the rights to kill our t. delves into the revolution that ripped apart care to stand. it's provided citizens with. it's a. tough sell to. win

the job. right. out of the bee kiran and. stay with us and watch the full report next hour here on r.t.e. . and arizona governor is appealing a federal ruling that's curb the state's controversial new immigration law parts of the legislation such as forcing immigrants to carry papers at all times were revoked just hours before they came into force but that didn't stop protesters from venting their anger artie's even the saskia reports. a lot of protesters on the street there were a lot of police what they were doing was practicing something called civil disobedience where they were basically getting arrested on purpose in order to get their message heard now what happened yesterday was the judge ruled that certain controversial provisions in valid law would not be enacted today so it was just

a small victory for the hispanic community but they said that they have a long fight ahead of them now critics of the law say that those provisions which basically say about police officers can stop anyone that they suspect is in this country illegally they say that it would lead to racial profiling and they're saying they don't want their state their state of arizona to become a nazi state so what you saw was it was banners with swastikas on there too to have people realize that they feel that if this were to be enacted in its entirety that it would lead to a nazi state here in arizona and perhaps all across the country the legal troubles of this are not over this is a long road ahead you're going to see it go to night district court and most likely the supreme court but that's not stopping the protesters here on the street we had word that there are about thirteen buses coming from from los angeles from the n.b.a. area all over california here in arizona people want to protest here and say that

they don't want anything like this and acted in their states because let's not forget at least twenty other states are considering similar legislation that can be very interesting to see what happens. artie's in the soft reporting there from arizona now let's take a look at some of the stories from around the world and the u.s. defense secretary has called the f.b.i. to help find out how secret documents of the war in afghanistan were leaked they were published by that we could leak site on sunday giving classified details of the war robert gates as it has endangered american troops and allies and quote unquote aggressive investigation will be carried out the disclosure has increased calls to and the war in many countries including the u.k. . and france woman has a medical wing eight of her newborn babies are worth the read of seventeen years but dominic could tresses husband has been freed without any charge after she said he had no idea what had happened police were alerted after the new owners of

potential the long resist aberdeen angus beef which will ultimately end up on the table as steak but to feed such a country as russia the farm has to first multiplies talk to many thousands per russia right now imports one million. meat a year and high quality be just an unbelievable deficit because the primary source of be utilized in the in the food chain here is the very very cattle that are no longer used for milking they go to the meat plants it is not high quality meat. the farm turned from causing live cattle to importing frozen embryos multiplying is quicker and cheaper the first generation of russian born happens is about to appear so. but as the farm there's one problem still to solve the language barrier was our

biggest fear for called the i was in the local grocery store and i was just trying to buy some meat or chicken and i read the package to see where it was and the lady at the counter started flapping and making chicken noises like a bad chicken leaving all of the beef ground and he's promised to be in several languages the farmers are convinced their russian produced beef will be the finest x. board cool it. all the language barrier is indeed a problem but in oregon areas not if you find yourself in the regions capital and to find out why to respond this city is so appealing i'm now joined by local guides . about thank you very much for joining us so what sells best in your city where what shall i say look around the scenery's beautifully and for those people who like rush and me like russian profits if you like on the fishing or you're right

it was the principal place where the princes of ancient russia were crowned and as a sign of political and religious hour it can be seen from kilometers away. but before that we're going to charlotte a lot as far away with a visit here in studio charlotte well it's really really hard today in the russian capital and in fact in the whole country and this heat wave we've got in the country spring russia sweet harvest with suggestions experts could have so we're going to tell it's a low that's right the drought in the country is the very damaged crops so there's been low reveals and this is likely to cause demand for us applies to rice we'll

have the details later in the program but first this hour they say all secrets come to light russia's president of a signed a law preventing insider trading the new law clarifies and define such concepts as insider information market manipulation and others insider trading is an offense in most financial centers but until now the law has never passed the first hearing in russia and it won't take effect immediately the rules come into force six months after publication. the government says it will offload shares in state companies even if the budget doesn't need the money it's announced it will sell eight major companies which is fewer than expected and the earliest date for sale will be next year economic development minister said privatization will help build a competitive economy but that would just. be fairly big companies you banks partially our companies from the fuel and energy sector privatization will be

a means and she's distracting many into the budget which is now you. know wave influencing the structure of the economy currently the government has an excessive growth in some of those taxes that the government shares might be interested encouraging constitutional rights the private sector. smaller companies may prove attractive to individual investors but some analysts believe the government will have to work hard to calm their fears of renationalisation. some says it doesn't come across as a true privatization it's only partial however government has indicated that there are over five thousand companies that they are willing to sell now most of these companies own much smaller a do not of strategic importance or limited strategic importance and i believe in most of these cases the feet will be full throated taxation renationalisation fear is probably one of the big east obstacles for foreign investors into venturing

russia there is the fear of their wells the government feels more confident that they really resort to so-called crippling nationalization when they used to regularly to revisionist to force the foreign investors out and indeed there is these danger so the government needs to provide to investment protection miccolis deforming best is arabic and wary that if the best and if they have a conflict with the state and they decide to take the case to court the court the judicial system which would largely really need to be and will probably side with the state so the fear of nationalization is there and the state has to take some steps to provide guarantees that it will not have. time also to look at how the markets are doing in here in moscow both the forces are falling in early trade that follows a day of gains on thursday nicolas leading the decline on the r.t.s.
