the deal. the critical the nuclear situation in japan goes from bad to worse. spike in radiation levels means the withdraw from the fukushima power plant. while the japanese government insists there's no immediate danger of a questionable track record of telling the truth about nuclear problems means that not everyone is. also. government forces in libya will be taking even more land from the rebels most countries in the international community are against the no fly zone for the united states it's just.

it without the life or more so we're just. looking to the program while japan it may be losing control i think fukushima nuclear power plant after radiation levels many times to stabilize the situation to stop the government's top spokesman said that one of the reactors key containment vessels is feared to have broken and radioactive material has leaked out the authorities had earlier been using military helicopters to drop water reactor water commission i don't. says many people are trying to flee from areas facing immediate danger. there's a bubbling undercurrent of anxiety and fear and it's a different kind of fear now because we're a tsunami the earthquake they could see and hear the threats this the radiation they can't see it it's an invisible enemy so now it's a different kind of

a threat just this morning i've spoken to a young japanese couple with a just a ten day old new one. and they are actually from sendai i know it in sendai when we earth quake struck they have been able to move until now this market was too weak and now they're heading for tokyo to fast as they can and this is just another . more evidence of people who don't trust the government don't trust the advice that the radiation isn't spreading into a greater area outside. this queue of people is a kilometer long trying to stockpile what food is left in sendai most shelves are empty now. the people here are getting ready to hide fearing an invisible killer radiation explosions at the fukushima daiichi power plant that the country on the cusp of nuclear meltdown one damaged reactors outer casing and the final two reactors have now lost cooling capability to radiation levels peaks near the plant at four hundred times they announced normally absorbed in

a year if it is it will spread across the country while residents prepared to go to ground for a news crews a fleeing this team from the zealand is heading finegan said. the flights from there to sucker in tokyo are already fully booked for the next two days the exodus has begun. already. turning up get on the next flight out of the country such as desperation. we have to wait until morning to get the next why to her bar of what we have to wait outside but we will because we want these aid the radiation some though have no it's around this was once a village those who lived here are returning to find there's simply nothing left the devastation just goes on and on. more than half a million people have been left homeless their belongings swallowed up and starts

out by the tsunami relief workers are searching for survivors all along japan's ravaged coast what's now a sea of debris fifteen thousand already been rescued but over seven thousand the still missing and some parts haven't even been reached yet over two and a half thousand relief centers are still packed and will be for several weeks it's cold and uncomfortable but this is one of the few places these people can get food and shelter huge parts of the country have been completely wiped out by the threat of nuclear meltdown means they could still be more to come after bennett r.t. they got the japan. well if by any chance you happen to be in the affected areas you can go well we share your experience by logging on to our facebook account. as one of our page also features the latest videos analysis and news on the situation in japan as well as what about top stories you can see this right now and facebook page spread a lot of lightning to check out so if you think you know something that the rest of

the world should hear just please log on to our party. well meanwhile rescue operations in the country continue following the quake and tsunami the japanese prime minister has said twenty six thousand people so far have been rescued if you will death toll now is risen to thirty seven hundred but i thought he was wonderful and i think it could be almost triple bottom out our correspondent in tokyo it's a really good she tells us about the latest developments up the. nuclear plant. this morning fire broke out at the fourth reactor at the ramps. but it's extinguished seemingly on its own about half an hour later however i would be even hundred workers which is where we were originally at parkland fifty remains and they were pulled out later or early earlier today because. of radiation levels which again were too high we do know that radiation levels are skyrocketing all across the country in fact. it's how in just a little over

a hundred miles north of tokyo radiation levels exceeded three hundred times their normal amount we also know that radiation levels in tokyo measured by those who were arriving at the airport since this morning they were about eleven times. that is sensitive to being normal or safe i wouldn't say the people are running around screaming in horror at the moment but you have to notice that certainly certainly. in the air there is not that many people out on the streets those who are in the street are wearing masks and they have their hair covered which is of some of the elementary cautions which are said to be somewhat helpful in the case. in the case of radiation exposure some food has been wiped off the shelves if you go to any canadian store you will see that most of them are essentially mostly empty people are being told by the government that the current radiation levels are at an exceptional rate there it cannot close and dangerous and health however it is

evidence shows as history shows. government hasn't exactly proven to be always always always trustworthy and everything that it does say what forth to the public should actually be checked here is reporting that. with reactors at the fukushima nuclear power plants having gone up in smoke fears about a possible meltdown loom large japanese authorities give assurances there is no imminent threat to tokyo residents but past evidence suggests they are not to be trusted completely over many years the nuclear industry and the regulators in japan but also in every society every country that operates nuclear power you find consistently that there's a lack of transparency a lack of openness maybe just think i think arrogantly but that's too much information why should we provide the information in fact just five years ago the

plant operator of tokyo electric power company or tepco admitted to falsifying temperature readings for cooling materials advocacy much as early as in one nine hundred eighty five and with the country now facing a major disaster the government will be careful in choosing its words. i think what is going to happen is the judge is going. or still there trying to take care of but also the example to other countries and other nations which starts in two thousand to a government disclosed that at least twenty nine cases of damage to the reactor had been swept under the carpet that incident because presidents and some senior officials to quit in scandal in two thousand and three seventeen temp cooperated plants ordered to be shut down again because the operator lied about what was happening at these sites so when the japanese officials put on

a somber face but give assurances everything's fine not everyone's convinced particularly when the country's already got enough other problems to deal with if you don't have the emergency resources if your infrastructure has been destroyed and the further you go away from the reactor the more difficult the more diverse the population settlements are the more difficult it is to evacuate you don't want to panic or probably to get them to so far back you wait i may be on within we put themselves in harm's way but when thousands of lives are on the line such a policy can easily be counterproductive there is a growing distrust among people in japan that the information they were receiving is narco informing us to the extent that we would like it and when it doesn't reduce panic it just makes people all the more uncertain when we can't trust the information. as it stands japan appears to be balancing on the brink of a nuclear meltdown and though the official version of events implores there we want

to stay carm history shows not all of their words could be taken at face value in tokyo it even goes. i know you could be up to date with the very latest breaking news of the fukushima power plant that twitter page you can find out over what is happening in the capital of tokyo and. little more than one hundred kilometers away from. that but also as we are looking at right now you cannot get all the latest on the devastation in the country and the most interesting links are all of those are waiting for you at our twitter account that is not seen underscore. nuclear power exploited greenpeace and john have a common sense that even when workers can't get access to the control rooms at the fukushima plant the task they face coupled with the conditions they have to do it head means predicting a success is impossible situation at this moment remains critical it will remain

critical several days there's only fifty people in the plant of the moms and they're working fifteen minutes shifts which is beenz is very little and they have to work very many things during hand because remote control installations have gone down the main operating room is not usable because of radiation levels they're working under extremely difficult circumstances to try to prevent the worst from the worst which would which would indeed be the core that is completely dry and that would beach with it is very early no computing what would happen because it would depend on how much of the material would get out. what the sea streets would be what the wind with what is certain is that the spread of this material in the air would not go as far as that we've seen with general be a reason for that is that it will not be in the air because there is no graphite in it like likely in the chernobyl reactor and that means that most of the radioactive

he would fall nearer to the nuclear power station there it would create larger havoc that we've seen it in the case of chernobyl. well in about twenty minutes time here in our to you we sit down with a wall patterson a nuclear physicist associate fellow a chatham house and say he's going to share his expert opinion on the ongoing situation in japan. problem is that they may have water levels rising and falling they may have fewer we know that they have you were exposed which has produced the reaction the reaction between the more. metal in the water producing the hydrogen so we certainly had some fuel gram there may well have fuel ceramic fuel pellets that are now also circulating through the core and that will be clogging up channels and generally generally changing the configuration of the geometry of the core and unless the rear the reactor and you know what is going on there are

liable to do something wrong. coming your way shortly here in our city in our sun in our attention to that of libya where colonel gadhafi forces have gained more ground retaking rebel held so things are world powers have so far missed imposing a no fly zone over coffee extra in the country the issues are still to be discussed they are by the u.n. are things policy or is in the capital of tripoli. the gadhafi forces have broken through the last major line of resistance before the town of think gazi which is the heart of the rebel stronghold and she's day in a massive land any cameras sold gadhafi forces took over the town of ajdabiya which is just some one hundred fifty kilometers away from benghazi what this means a second of his forces are now in full control of the clothes still struck the tree in these two towns we need to remember that it was only ten days ago that were able forces had control of almost half this country they were in control in the east and

they also had control of several cities in the way it's now the duckies forces have rabies to reclaim most of their command basically have reclaimed all the cities in the waist except for misrata in the closing statement of the g. eight ministers meeting in paris on tuesday there was no mention of the no fly zone britain and france are. maine at the forefront of calling for to be implemented over libya while there are several countries including the united states germany russia and china which has veto power with the u.n. security council there are opposed to it now that representatives from france britain and lebanon lebanon acting on behalf of the arab league who met on saturday in cairo they have cordoned indorsed a no fly zone those representatives have drafted and united nations resolution calling for to be implemented that discussion was held behind closed doors on shoes they speaking after their u.n. security council meeting the british representative say that they had been a lot of discussion and he did admit that they were divisions he said that

a lot of questions were still being asked questions such as how would it be implemented who would be participating in that discussion will continue today when state rice soon to be the draft resolution is looking for a ban on all flights over libyan is space excluding humanitarian aid missions it also calls for the stick to confirm intention of arms embargoes adopted in resolution one line stephen over two weeks ago at the same time it also calls for the position prevention of foreign mercenaries from being able to into libya the whole goal of those draft resolution for the no fly zone is to try and protect the lives of civilians but many people here feel that if indeed it is approved it will be too little too late and also it will open the door possibly for an excuse for future soren intervention. or france's haste i'm officially supporting the libyan opposition has. been visiting professor of

international relations at university. they jump the gun thinking that gadhafi would probably for a place he hasn't. it could take words from somebody in a religion conference by the rebels but who in fact recognize the government the british but of course the thames who it was but went home with a special for this mission. and we want to intervene because of the rise and it's a work in dimension and if we do want to intervene do we want to intervene on behalf maybe we can all agree the international community accepted americans and europeans i want that wouldn't. install in his place and let's face it it would be our whole some rest because we need special new government that's a very tricky operation to carry out and so far we haven't seen any data from new we're going to her around. i mean while the rest is continuing elsewhere in the arab world and the king has declared

a three month state of emergency riot police had to remove the cell phone i think of protesters hospital setting overwhelmed by the number of injuries throughout the weeks of turmoil the next hour i think is. sort of arab countries protesting against their regimes really. when there were elections. for the people you know the palestinian territories hamas and islam is you know classified as a terrorist organization one so and this is i'm not trying to say that people should not have the voice be heard but i think it's important to keep in mind that these words which have a connotation to western ears do not necessarily mean the same thing they're sure that people want power i mean what is really why and that's when i. go ahead let me jump in this is cross talk about why do i disagree with if hamas wins has been given that sounds through it i mean it's not just because it's not just in fact and

here the biggest mistake was in one thousand and one when this time this one and there was a military intervention that drove the country into a cycle of violence and that it is the same in palestine how must one end the war should have accepted it is the word think that's up to. i've got up is coming our way in about an hour and twelve minutes from now i finally this hour there's been no welcome home for three intrepid explorers who have not completed a five month space mission soyuz spacecraft successfully landed in the snowy steps of kazakhstan bringing its crew back to russian cosmonauts alexander kaleri. as well as announcers a scott kelly retired from the international space station the landing was closely monitored by search and rescue services and was the first of

a new generation of soyuz craft equipped with a digital system a crucial part of the eye a science leaving behind three others who were due to return to earth in about three months time. now they say that our sport and politics should never mix but throughout the day here at odds he was showing you that it's more than just a game sports is living in ways we don't often even notice especially on the level of culture where our ideas and attitudes as a society are shaped. the ties between for the slopes and paul in the u.s. military have existed since the start of the n.f.l. back in nineteen twenty that relationship meant sleep during the war too and today that is stronger than ever the war being turned into a sick. old he'll be continually look at the history has taught us that sports is

never just something that we just sit back. and sports always important social function and the history of american sports is no different. it's all right now taking over twenty minutes past the hour here in moscow you with time now for the business news. that's right time to have a look at what's happening in the world of business japanese stocks rebounded sharply on wednesday after two days of heavy losses we'll have more on that in just a moment how that other sectors of the japanese economy continue to suffer in the aftermath of the disaster consumers in japan are emptying store shelves and feel the lack of distribution of food water and other goods many companies still have production suspended as the power supply remains critical in the country meanwhile the world wide manufacturing chains are suffering from shortages of supplies from

japan and one of japan's main carmakers toyota says its overall production lost me which forty thousand cars the car giant's production plans were not by the quake it has announced plans to restart seven of its factories on thursday and after initial worries analysts say the global car industry will only suffer a minor supply disruptions. i don't expect to have a major negative impact on the overall industry. still globally speaking there are a number of. other utilized capacities elsewhere and even within japan so yes there is a momentary disruption for a few days however i don't think that this one this will have a big overall impact. and nuclear crisis has strengthened concerns and safe this year of similar objects of around the world germany has temporarily shut down seven of its oldest nuclear plants adding it should abandon nuclear power

sooner than foreseen and switzerland has suspended their prove process for three new nuclear power stations it in the triple b. c. bank so this may have impact on russia. and. the reason nuclear programs were. sampling germany may in fact nuclear fuel supply from other countries including russia and a possible refusal from bulgaria and the czech republic to build new nuclear stations will leave russia to those in potential construction markets but the current decisions have been influenced by public opinion and countries will primarily be concentrating on safety measures and existing power plants. the japanese economy is still strong enough to sustain quake side effects that's according to one of russia's leading economists be green. gibbins there was already in trouble but generally if you if you if you look at. the government of gun

violence if you look at the expert position in general germany's economy is pretty healthy and what we're talking about is not the cost of the reconstruction which really is in basic terms it's a fiscal course it's not a matter of law they call it all the milk and all of the financial system up and down. grade in and out of supply short i think one could compare it to the brought in the summer of two thousand and ten in russia i think we should be reasonably sure the music on music all in year will remain will remain on track. but see how the asian markets are performing so far japanese shares have rebounded sharply after two consecutive days of decline with the nikkei index finishing five point seven percent in the black. held to instill confidence by pumping another forty three billion dollars into the financial markets it's the third cash injection in three days why japan's central plank in total allocated two hundred

eighty four billion dollars to the crisis hong kong sense saying it was a temple sent up fountain back a bit as concerns that china may suffer from the japanese economy downturn easing in late wednesday strains. and european shares that were trying to recoup losses in early trade after a much needed recovery for japanese stocks helped calm the nerves of investors worldwide watch european stocks gave up early gains to trade low allowed led by losses for banking stocks on the footsie which is trading down point eight percent this hour barclay h.s.b.c. and credentials are losing our leverage more than two and a half percent and the dax is flat. will be going to rush or the mauritius on the mice it's a close up about zero point three percent how well they have slightly retreated from their early morning gains. tracking asia high on cheap allegations in japan and hopes the economy will link back to normality of course let's have

a look at some individual moves most banking shares are posting gains for frank point two percent of the energy shares are made with us despite all the crisis raining all the tile sad news from japan is pushing world markets why will this situation in libya and bahrain if supporting high oil prices with ongoing insurgency old world crude oil supplies out to the region cross nafta's rising more than one point five percent and look well it's almost episode high at this hour now chris with the world save explains why the current oil situation ace favoring russia. in many ways this combination of the threat of a disruption in the middle east providing support to the oil prices while at the same time the risk of slower economic growth and of course disruption in japan. causing you know concerns about demand that combination which likely to keep the

price of oil around the currently current window is near ideal for russia because if you had a situation where the threat level of the structure were to rise too much on checked and the price of oil were to go to one twenty one thirty one forty that actually would be bad for russia short term we get more money flows for the fear you would have a negative impact on the reform process on the motivation from government to drive reforms and everybody would worry about another two thousand and eight effect in other words rising prices even for certain collapse so that would be on the other hand if you know if we didn't have that going threat level and we have these concerns over demand and economic growth we could easily price of oil going back to eighty dollars which would put them at the budget in a suitable deficit. chris with the chief strategist that we were there with what we can expect from the price of oil and the price of oil has been particularly volatile during the recent years and russia's finance minister says while prices

may surge to two hundred dollars per barrel in the near future that's against the backdrop of the political turmoil in the middle east crisis in japan he noted but speculation could also push fluctuations in the medium term there would be no sustainability for such high prices. but price a one hundred fifteen dollars per barrel would help the russian budget to breakeven . ok that wraps up the business bosun joined me unless someone else time for more stories here on r.t. .

yes my name is daniel schmidt this is julian assange we're here to make a short presentation about the we can fix project. the first. in the fourth grade he threw good information out about the real world. through him more on here and longer. because there's a because i'm going to be a good marketer. if i ever put any sources in danger he would hunt me down and kill him. this is exactly one of the reasons why we left the project because it has become more like all this all the james bond. than all the actual information. but thank you. the

whole the people around the wold. like me. wealthy british style. markets why not. happening to the global economy in the kinds of reports. the official. i pod touch from the. cianci life on.
