they're continuing to play out today and you've really got a feel for the queen full days remaining t. shirts the eleventh day now hatefully the end possibly now in sight the ice breaker crossed in. that position not just to recap what's been happening even the polls we saw these three original ships calling for rescue in december thirtieth then at the beginning of this week another two ships go stuck in the ice we've seen icebreakers the admiral micros and the guys in working very hard and extremely tough conditions to free up these ships like now manage to get three of them to safety the last of which was the science research vessel that they freed up on friday and since then the other icebreakers been working for the weekend to try and free up the remaining two incredibly tough conditions we've heard some reports saying that it's probably the earliest i'll actually get them freed up would be cheesed days icebreakers have

really had their work cut out for the fools when such a ninety kilometers an hour the incredibly thick ice and poor visibility you know it's a from the constant one of the stranded ships that the rescue operation the timing of it coming to an end it's really very dependent on whether these conditions eased up or indeed was. everything depends on the weather when the wind comes down the rescue operation will become quicker we have enough water and food supplies that can last for four months since he said the crew on board the ships have been in contact they've got plenty of food and water supplies and board so they've not been in any particular danger but it's certainly been a long road rescue operation and it's the end now is in sight a series of mass animal deaths across the globe has and scientists and conspiracy theorists alike buzzing over possible explanations dubbed the flock ellipse started in the u.s. on new year's eve when black birds started falling from the sky. more bird tragedy

followed in sweden and then again in italy and finally millions of dead fish from brazil to new zealand have triggered some fevered online speculation changing climate parasites and poisoning are the main theories scientists are working with but conspiracy theorists point to secret government experiments miami based that pedro luis told our team that a thorough investigation is needed. it's impossible to see for sure what's happened to the birds and fish until proper investigations are heralds in fact i don't believe that these events are interlinked they followed one after another and that's attracted universe to attention it's not the first time that the world is observing such phenomena it's happens in other countries too i've the moment the investigation or concern claims are not top she has revealed the bird suffered from internal bleeding but the research has yet to be completed we could also be dealing with some new virus a sine wave is another possible explanation but i repeat that few investigation is

needed to establish the cause so far as happened and find a scientific explanation for it still to come in the program of the misplaced hope of immigrants in the us. they really have that american dream of coming to the us they know that they've invested in their education and they think that the united states is the place to put. that ambition to war with the greatest possible. but in reality getting a green card is only the start of an adventure which ends up making many people long for the life they left back home plus. people do not live here anymore but same cannot be said about flora and fauna we look at ukraine's controversial plans to turn the chernobyl disaster zone into farmland . liberal immigration policies in some e.u.

countries have come under fire for letting potential terrorists walk straight in through europe's front door this comes after authorities of terror plots on some european capitals. you go to peace kind of reports from austria. like many others small you would be and downs in southern austria seems quiet and peaceful while never judge a book by its cover one of its residents is now under arrest suspected of being the brains behind it network recruiting extremists and plotting attacks in the heartland of the european union an ethnic chechen was detained at the airport in vienna as. to mecca news about the incident went around the world or streams really none of the locals seem to know much about it. we didn't hear anything about. i'm afraid i wasn't for this. i know nothing about it and i don't care some didn't

want to be filmed at all but was it really because of a lack of information. and the deputy chief of one of australia's biggest newspapers has been personally following this case or and with only a voice recorder. he was more successful in getting the locals to share. his with a really big population become unity with chechens so that people are sinking what what what comes next i mean this is just my neighbor he was here with me and now he has his arrested because of suspect. terror plot with his wife and children really appear to be leading an ordinary life one of the most striking facts about this latest case is that the suspect has hence he claims he lost the after being caught up in while in chechnya well investigators are looking into or no other version whether his hands off while handling explosives

this is raising questions all austrians hell well asylum seekers are checked before getting the green light as one of the most liberal asylum policies in the european union last year alone the country received. fifteen thousand refugees from across the world with such an inflow of newcomers is becoming increasingly hard to find out who is who we want to know from the government in how many cases they actually did this background checks to make sure that this people are not criminal or dangerous second in how many cases austria has received. information from the countries of origin. uncertain in how many cases asylum seekers actually have been refused the latest arrest is part of a massive police operation targeting an alleged extremist network in late november

twenty six people were detained in germany and the netherlands all suspected of recruiting so-called jihad is candidates in financing terrorist organizations it can be here in. and it can be in any other town in europe in an effort to get more information seekers the e.u. is no making deals with countries of origin including russia but many experts warn with hundreds of thousands of refugees already living in the union because of sequences of policies of some of its member states still ahead. vienna austria. take a brief look at some other major headlines from around the world. at least seventy people are reported dead in a plane crash in northwest iran some thirty survivors have been taken to hospital the boeing seven twenty seven domestic flight from tehran came down near its destination the city of. broken to pieces there follows

a number of deadly crashes in iran in recent years experts say u.s. sanctions prevent the islamic state from affectively maintaining its aging fleet northwestern. a u.s. congresswoman is in critical condition after being shot in the head in a bloody rampage outside a supermarket in the state of arizona a gunman opened fire at a public meeting held by democrat gabrielle giffords killing six and injuring twelve others one of her aides was among the dead as well as a nine year old girl and a district judge a twenty two year old suspect is now in custody while authorities are looking for a possible. the polls have closed after the first day of. a week long referendum that could see one of africa's poorest and most troubled nation split into the christian dominated south is expected to vote for independence from the mainly muslim north deadly clashes have marred the run up to

the ballot but the vote is part of a two thousand and five peace deal which ended decades of civil war that claimed autonomy in lives and displaced nearly twice as many others thousands of immigrants head to the u.s. every year in search of a better way of life the u.s. government attracts newcomers through official visa lotteries granting them green cards but as lauren lyster reports for many people the quest for the american dream can turn out to be a grim reality. in the united states and here in new york every year countless people play the lottery. and touring for a chance to win for a mega million dollar fantasy believing a few dollars and a dream could buy them so for the life of a ticket that could change their lives every year more than ten million people also play a different kind of lottery and fifty thousand when i meet one of them my name is

a woman and her husband teenage son and seven year old daughter you see here. are immigrants from nepal they entered and won the united states diversity visa lottery this lottery is a congressional mandate it's supposed to be an opportunity for people to come to america from countries with historically low rates of immigration the jackpot with permanent residency the prize is not cash but green cards and this startling experience was due to a lot of we had to start from scratch from zero once we got here two years of struggling with joblessness after finding their education in nepal doesn't count in the u.s. setbacks they never expected this we didn't know people used to say you're educated it will be easy america is a big country with a lot of facilities life will be better but in reality it was getting the incident . just to highlight i mean by experts who work on immigration

issues a lot of the winners really are given no resources from the government that invited them here and the struggles of jimena and her family are not unique for most people we have and counted it's been very difficult they reflect a group of immigrants who come to the us not because of a job lined up or a family sponsoring them but for many because of the vision of what they can achieve they really have that american dream edge of coming to the us they know that they've invested in their education and they. i think that the united states is the place to put that skills those degrees and that ambition to work with the greatest possible return. when many find is maybe something no year already have an ethnic neighborhood like this one that has southeast asian music restaurants and fashion what many struggle with is finding economic opportunities that are any better than what they had in their home country or even finding jobs that allow them to survive here we're seeing

a lot of the downward mobility of immigrants and often many highly qualified goods . finding foreign degrees an experience don't count for many u.s. employers these immigrants end up taking anything it means engineers and business managers and up his cab drivers and cashiers according to a study two out of five ford educated immigrants are either in this situation or unemployed all together it's an american dream they want to wake up from if you got if we had known this we wouldn't have come life was much easier in my country people who see their plight firsthand argue the government should help more i do think it's the state department's responsibility and i think that the united states is going to lose out relative to other countries who've taken that step possibly losing out to countries such as canada and germany unless they make sure winning the lottery actually pays off lauren lyster r.t.d. new york from the image of the american dream at risk to a dream community in denmark facing the threat of being destroyed. we feel how the

free thinking of state of christiania is coming under pressure from the danish government that's coming up in just a few minutes right here on our t.v. . when defending its record in the iraq war the u.s. is quick to point to the tens of billions of dollars it spending on reconstruction but between rampant corruption and gross inefficiency poverty stricken iraqis say they see little sign of improvement to their daily lives it means many are forced to do whatever they can to scrape by as sebastian my reports. at seven am every morning fatima crouch is outside her house and along with her sister and cousins begins to sort through garbage displaced from southern iraq that most family is too poor to send or to school and so she works eight hours a day sorting through baghdad's landfill collecting plastic and metal that will be shipped abroad for recycling

a reward for carting forty pounds of trash around two dollars and fifty cents behind me acres of baghdad's trash to many this is just waste but for the families here this is not only their livelihood but also their homes over two thousand people live on baghdad's landfill are. making their homes out of the garbage that the rest of the city throws away there's no running water or electricity and certainly no access to medical treatment if someone gets sick they have to be taken to hospital the same way they get drinking water by donkey cart can you believe in iraq you would live in a shack made from the garbage people who threw the fuel and change so we could see that iraq is still a wonderful place blessed by god if you will go on and we have a new government but the situation we're living in shacks america spending fifty three billion dollars on the reconstruction effort in iraq but the residents of our jet haven't seen a dime of it what they have seen though is the sectarian violence that drove them

from their home five years ago. we used to live in abu ghraib you know then america came the war increased in iraq people started killing each other and so we fled because we were freed in two thousand and five gnome's family moved to the landfill and has been living there ever since too afraid in too poor to return home you know the american occupation turned iraq into a battlefield as well as sowing the seeds of political corruption how can americans stand back and watch without intervening in this situation everybody knows about the failure of the iraq economy this is having a terrible impact on the ground zero. socially and economically. experts worry about the children who grow up too poor to go to school without an education and they're easily preyed on by criminal gangs and terrorist organizations who lure them with money and promises of a brighter future so how can if you'll feel a dream will even fear i can't accomplish anything nothing but security if you

really want to go back home even though there is no work we only need security that's it iraq remains a very dangerous place where kidnappings and murders are part of daily life for these families living on a trash heap is still better than living with sunni neighbors back home but until that is possible until american reconstruction dollars reach the quarter of iraq's population that lives in poverty children like fatima will continue to collect trash in order to survive sebastian mire r t in baghdad the side of the world's biggest civilian nuclear disaster at chernobyl has largely been a no go zone for almost twenty five years but now ukraine is planning to make use of the land which some claim is still fertile despite years of radiation by using it for agriculture the shock proposals have led to a clash between experts over the safety implications as artie's alexia chefs get reports. these berries may look ripe and delicious but they're definitely not part

of a healthy diet the bush is inside a thirty kilometer chernobyl exclusion zone in ukraine and radiation levels are off the scale people do not live here anymore but same cannot be said about flora and fauna some say it is the absence of anthropogenic harm in the church novel exclusion zone which made nature develop here rapidly after the one nine hundred eighty six fallout ensure noble the environment suffered badly one strip of forest was burned by radiation and turned red people left the area but mother nature stepped in now chernobyl is home to many species of wild animals and rare plants scientists from slovakia studying most in the area made an incredible discovery a lot of the plant life is immune to radiation. we still don't understand how it's possible plans to grow. at

the very beginning of the earth when life started the. activity on the surface. how much problem and the millions of hectares of land were left contaminated a quarter of a sentry on kiev has decided that this soil no longer poses any threat to humans in march twentieth. will launch a plan to get things growing again. we will establish what parts of the contaminated areas could be used for agricultural needs there is a possibility that cultural products will be grown there when we have so much unoccupied land why not use it. those well familiar with chernobyl like the idea. that half a million people work to clean this land of radioactivity now we're being told this

is dead land this is not true just look at nature's riches and the exclusions if you were however there are those who worried about what could end up on the dinner table critics fear ukrainian and russian markets could be flooded with radioactive agricultural products and there are legal hurdles. ukraine has a law regulating any activities in the exclusion zone it says no agricultural product can be drawn on this land and for now experts see no possibility of this law to be changed. the dominant view remains that the nearest save zones from the blonde are still hundreds of kilometers away in northern ukraine and some parts of belarus the dead zone and is still deemed too dangerous despite some optimists but the fact is radiation can stick around for anything up to twenty four thousand years.

you may want to let us know what you think about it it's just a few clicks away. much more. the training of. years of experience. for centuries people have dreamed about the. ideas of peace.

living according to those ideals but now that utopian community faces. explains. i get tired of pushing papers around nine to five are you sick of posting to the government telling you what to do well then welcome to. a country where things get done by the people for the people it began in one nine hundred seventy one when he pees in freethinkers squat in forming military barracks their aim was to do this is cited from scratch where the only government would be the residents themselves no home ownership no violence it's a co-op community forged by the fifteen hundred strong locals perfect for people like filmmaker knows midst who has lived in christina since it was founded if you have this ability to administer yourself then you also got bigger responsibility for your surroundings and that is something which is lost in large cities today for

newell's this is the most peaceful and welcoming place you could find in denmark possibly in all of europe we want to keep up some of the virtues of the village where people know each other and also dependents and feel a responsibility for each other so what's their secret to peaceful coexistence people actually take responsibility for the area themselves they don't expect. an authority or some sort of guy from the from the city to come and take care of things we would do it ourselves in fact christina seems to be extremely attractive to most danes a recent newspaper poll found one hundred fifty thousand copenhagen residents would love to up sticks and settle down in this euro utopia that is such a lot of fairy tale atmosphere here and we have also saying you shouldn't know what's around the next corner that should be some kind of surprise unfortunately the biggest surprise right now comes from the city authorities who want to string

the x. is christine mia the land is owned by the state and the state and the state can do anything about the land if they want to have more housing there if they want to. to be possible to build something in the area of costing that's the crux of the problem residents pay their taxes to the state and disservice speed to christian yeah but they do not own the houses they live in you're not allowed to make any money off your house and here the house is owned by christina and you live there and rented from christina and you can't sell it on because we don't want speculation and interest and money in this place but that's something copenhagen city council wants to change by forcing residents either to buy out or move out even if we live in this house which we've used many years to build up i'm ready to give it up if it has to be a rights against the privatization ideas i don't want christie added to privatized for now the courts are deciding and although peaceful coexistence and tolerance are

two of these communities cornerstones its residents refuse to bow to big brother without the proper fight it even goes carty christine you copenhagen denmark there is a growing consensus among major world powers that they should all work together to achieve a world free of nuclear weapons but it's not so long ago since the danger of a nuclear strike was a very real one with nuclear arms states keeping their fingers hovering above the proverbial red button now though the relics of the past have been transformed into a tourist attraction artie's peter all over takes up the story. was it's a door like no other designed to stop a nuclear blast is it here doris was a pretty big thing as a shockwave or one of her stride here's a way to both one point five goals and other sandra that interest was garth was a mess of the moon with of was it has a war sickness about six meters or frame force of concrete if you had been lucky

enough to escape the initial explosion inside or enough food in end to last about two weeks it was to command and control all the surface forces and nothing more. but you know what some days later nuclear war all fires in radiation level decreased as a level where when you can walk and breathe in special protective suits those stationed at the shelters would have had less the ninety seconds to put on their suit should radiation be detected inside and i can tell you that they aren't easy to get on in a rush stop nor are they particularly comfortable where. it's not just these purpose built facilities they were designed to protect in case of a nuclear attack one of moscow's iconic landmark is also there to protect.
