libyan rebels say it wasn't their plane that was shot down over the opposition stronghold of benghazi meantime international summits underway right now in paris to discuss how to enforce the no fly zone amid reports of a loyalist assault in benghazi despite colonel gadhafi cease fire. it could be the move that sparks bush in france the united states into no inching a decisive strike on gadhafi regime under a united nations resolution don't need want to see it from the libyan capital in a few moments formal. washington is accused of cherry picking where it intervenes rapidly mobilising for libya while innocent civilians die in other nations torn by

internal strife. also this hour new a powerful aftershocks in japan the struggle to bring its crippled nuclear site back from the brink eight days after the nation was overwhelmed by the severe earthquake and tsunami. power cables how do you restore wanted to out of the six reactors at fukushima they have three and they can feel the cooling systems later today. with all of the light from moscow where it's not just stuff three pm daryn libya up to ten people have reportedly been killed and many more injured in fierce fighting in opposition strongholds libyan authorities blame rebels for instigating the clashes which they deny and emotions the summit not to shape action against gadhafi

is at this moment underway in paris. now has more from tripoli. according to the gadhafi regime it is and hearing to their immediate ceasefire that a call for yesterday friday afternoon it says contrary to reports of a hearing from rebel fighters it is not attacking the rebel stronghold of benghazi in fact a gadhafi regime has gone so far as to say there's the rebels who are not adhering to the cease fire and that they're the ones who are on the offensive a very different story emerging from opposition leaders there insisting that the city of benghazi is under attack they say the gadhafi soldiers have taken up positions around the southern parts of the town that they firing from tanks there they're also reporting that they have been is strikes since last night and that many of the targets are civilians we're hearing from rebel leaders that many people have been injured many more have been killed early this morning assigned to change was shot down over being gods it's not fit clear who's trying to get this was and he shot it down but all these reports come fifteen years they are concerning

because they come just hour was ultimately in power ministers said that the gadhafi regime was implementing a cease fire that followed a decision by the united nations for a no fly zone to be implemented as soon as possible what we said we have heard an increase in urgent calls by opposition leaders for the international community to get involved in light of what they say is fighting that's happening on the ground caused by the gadhafi regime the leaders attending the mergence the summit in paris have indicated that if gadhafi is in fact breaking the cease fire there will be very soon to act and then i guess we could see a no fly zone being implemented as soon as tonight saturday pushing president indicated that it's into its typhoon and tornado jets to this part of the world they also say that they are on board to launch military strikes as soon as possible the same word coming out of france now the american president barack obama has given an ultimatum to gadhafi he says that if in fact his forces are fighting if they are not if you're into the cease fire and if in fact they're not allowing for

humanitarian access within the international community will act immediately there is a growing concern second. on the ground here that the naval fields are being created for much more foreign involvement it is true that the rebels want to see the no fly zone implemented as soon as possible but no one in this country wants this to be an excuse for foreign intervention there is growing concern that under the banner of humanitarian assistance we could keep a full scale foreign intervention happening here the whole idea of a no fly zone has to show countries you need to remember that when the no fly zone was implemented in iraq saddam hussein remained in power there for another ten years in bosnia after the most rhizomes implemented then we had to srebrenica massacre these kind of examples can be used to illustrate the limitations of the no fly zone and that is why people here in libya are very fearful that the international community might decide that a no fly zone is not enough and simply use it as the beginning for a full scale more military intervention in this country which nobody here runs. his policy there reporting from tripoli now as the u.k.

prepares to discuss its next move in libya british opposition m.p. germany says the country has been very selective when deciding when and where military intervention is necessary. i think there's a lot of double standards going on here because what is happening in libya is obviously terrible and obviously gadhafi should have heeded the views of ordinary people would come to some kind of accommodation with them all removed himself from office. there's been no condemnation worthy of anything against bahrain saudi arabia yemen or a man who have also been killing large numbers of civilians totally over the last few weeks and i think the west is being very selective about this it's all about securing future status with whatever government comes out of libya libya has vast oil reserves libya also has the potential of being a very big investor in the rest of the world indeed it has been for a very long time i think this is much more. about european and western influence in

the new new and emerging countries of north africa and i think the west is trying to assert itself in libya and i am also suspicious that we might end up with a division of libyan almost a partition into the eastern part led by those that are currently ruling the roost garcia the western part led by gaddafi and the remains of his government this is a very sad and very tragic situation. now the revolutionary movement has been spreading across the middle east and north africa for almost three months syria is now the latest country where people are marching to voice their anger for them though it's not the freedom to speak out five people have reportedly been killed after security forces fired on hundreds of demonstrators in the southern city of daraa the crackdown was launched after multiple protests run up defying a ban on marches in yemen around fifty people are reported to have been killed and

hundreds of others injured after a sniper's allegedly opened fire on a workers staged a walkout in antigovernment protests in the capital the president has declared a thirty day state of emergency but denies that his forces were involved in the shooting and in the past right the army a modest so-called monument which had become a symbol of a month long shiite uprising against the sunni monarchy but the authority interference in these countries is noticeably thin on the ground certainly compared to the focus being given to libya right now parties more or less there has more now has to be a case of tunnel vision when it comes to turbulent countries. i think that god is great. the final words of this imported peaceful protesters in bahrain. before he appears to be shot allegedly by both rainey security forces since martial law was declared this week the bahraini government has crackdown on pro-democracy protesters clearing them out of pearl square where they've been demonstrating. and

viral videos the details can't be confirmed have been surfacing on the internet appearing to show police shooting protesters. point blank it's reminiscent of another uprising against an autocrat i want to address the situation in libya when images and reports of violence against protesters they could doppies hands in libya reached the u.s. we saw the president take a stand. i think. early on president obama called for plans for a no fly zone over libya now here at the united nations the security council has since taken the lead on that but meanwhile the united states has already said warships along with humanitarian aid in libya's direction it's tough economic sanctions on the country essentially freezing it out of the u.s. banking system and reports suggest the u.s. has also played

a more cofer role in the north african conflict an opposition that. for thirty years right now. according to people in direct contact with activists on the ground in bahrain they too are begging for help from the u.s. . if. the u.s. has a military base in the island country the navy's powerful fifth fleet and six thousand troops are stationed there. and in response to the brutal crackdown the u.s. president has wielded his authority to pick up the phone and call the king of bahrain the president expressed his deep concern over the violence in bahrain and stressed the need for maximum restraint words the forces on the ground now backed by one thousand saudi arabian troops who don't appear to be listening to critics say the

talk doesn't amount to any help for the bahraini people it amounts to this absolutely there's a double standard in the way the u.s. deals with friend versus flow unlike libya the brain is a strong u.s. ally in the oil rich persian gulf it's all about oil it's also all about geo political military strategy the us has a lot of military assets in the persian gulf right now we want to make sure they stay there u.s. interests coming at the cost of people's lives and at the cost of the values of human rights and democracy the u.s. claims to care so much about and some of the blood is worth this and maybe even blood is more important it's just too critical to stand. against everything we believe in this victory that you're looking at american old. gun ships. and protesters in the capital and that is where the united states stands on the issue

a lot from moscow it's about twelve thirteen minutes past the hour and to japan now as being a six point one magnitude off a shot within the past few hours the country's been touring the tremors since the biggest quake in its history destroyed large areas and it triggered a tsunami that was a of course on that last friday saturdays off a shot rattled it but iraqi prefecture which is over one hundred kilometers north of tokyo a tsunami warning has not been issued but locals were still i'm sure especially as it was close proximity to the stricken fukushima power plant the areas located just south of the plant i work as a coffee trying to restore power to the cooling systems of the damaged reactors he's off about it has more on the developments at this facility. they seem to be getting somewhere because the day they are out they can a power cable if you try to do the last two days to these reactors they've connected power cable to two out of the six reactors now they haven't turned on electricity where they hope to soon what this will do is get the cooling systems up

and running again those are the cooling systems of the knocked out by that earthquake eight days ago and that's what's called the loop problems because they haven't been able to keep their reactors cool and the damage has been rising and that's what's left of the explosions at four but six reactors in the meantime what they've been doing is begin pumping in wars are firing water from military fire engines from the ground into the spent fuel pools inside of meticulous reactors three and four because inside there the water levels are believed to be dangerously low now if that also actually goes below but fuel rods are never exposed to the air that's when it's real danger of radioactive substances leaking out so they're hoping they're still trying to fill those with water and hopefully the electricity will be on fanny's cooling systems will be working soon after the radiation levels all tests are being done on milk and spinach in a neighboring prefectures to fukushima and according to the government's folks person to sit down in the chief cabinet secretary levels of radiation of those that actually succeed safety standards however he did say that these would pose risks to

human health as were the radiation in the plant itself that's fluctuating is still very high but outside that thirty kilometers no radiation levels are pretty low but questions now being raised about the privatized ation of nuclear power because. the fukushima power plant was actually owned by the tokyo electric power company and the questions being raised now were said was safety standards compromise for profit as a very private enterprise profit is the main target obviously and the questions also being raised now although they've got fifty of their employees that a little known as the fukushima figure a lot it almost got called status they're trying now as they get it done under wraps but. under control but the problem is the question being asked is are they were leaving so quickly this sort of contest catastrophe in the first place and look profits placed over safety. no matter how hard they try disaster still looms of course shima attempts to cool the reactors have been applauded for bravery and

it's been a week since capability was lost and there's no end in sight to this crisis the implications are that radiation already has spread a fair distance there probably will be an area around the plant right here in our war that will be uninhabitable for the foreseeable future could get far worse than the us the plants cooling systems may have been crippled by a natural disaster but some are now questioning the merits of the manmade decision to build reactors near the so-called ring of fire this is completely a human a disaster because that should never have been vocal there in the first place and citizens had pointed out the fact japan's nuclear industries also in private hands has led to accusations profits were put before safety fukushima's owner already has a questionable past with a history of falsifying safety records at the site back in the eighty's i think we also have to review the idea of privatized nuclear power because private means

cutting corners and i think we're watching those corners being cut today what we'd like to see is the government take over these these these nuclear reactors from private corporations because private corporations need purpose of for existing is to profits and by maximizing profits in the nuclear sector we're talking about your magazine concerns the public open sea and lost private investors may be needed to get the ball rolling it's the other way around if things go wrong i think it's we're going to be inevitable and the state will take over in order to contain these plants and they'll probably need to be covered with. concrete and sand much like trainable was and i think the state will play the responsibility for that. i think whether the state has it or private companies do it it's very difficult for anyone produced to pronounce no stranger to nuclear tragedies this is where the

second atomic bomb was dropped in nineteen forty five and trying everything they can at fukushima to avert the not that it's austere but because nuclear war struck is already expecting wider consequences the question is how many will be affected either bennett's nazi my psyche and not everyone is taking japan's assessment of its nuclear crisis out face about you alex currently there is an expert on japanese culture says the government is intentionally concealing the severity of the situation there is a long tradition of it in the nuclear industry and town. or at least. twisting or misinterpreting the evidence one example is raising except five it's been four for a long time which was the level of three mile island where there was nuclear radiation should but no nuclear material released into the environment this one is that now says amounts of nuclear materials huge radiation and only now the

wrenchingly is agrees to five in it of course most people believe it should be six so there is still an attempt to play it down children newspaper yesterday had an article in which they pointed to the plume of white smoke coming out of one of the reactors and they said the government is saying it's a plume of white smoke but they really mean it is an explosion i think what we can be sure of is that this mess will take weeks maybe months to clear up but it's really very serious much more than the government is letting us. and for the team sort of still out the fukushima plant life we're seeing race to head off a twenty sastre battle thompson was involved in the three mile island cleanup in pennsylvania after a similar incident in one nine hundred seventy nine he explains now what these workers a carpenter but the people in japan are going right through right now it's kind of hard to tell because no one has access to them as far as i see and i fear for their

safety in fact i fear for their lives sometimes the radiation is so high that a person going into us a hot room can only be inside there for maybe three minutes and then they have to come out someone else has to go in to finish their job so you can imagine the intensity list trying to say trying to change of valves you go in with the welding machine that say. it takes you three or four minutes just to bring that in there you haven't even plugged anything in yet when you have to leave you're done for a month we don't know the conditions inside the plant though most of us. from the industry confirm that it's very very dangerous i think for in water in massive amounts and they should be probably pouring were a gas or boron in in massive amounts as well is that really the only only thing they have left it's almost like a hail mary pass. my only real regret is that the entire area was not evacuated sooner as soon as the evolution started that would have been the moral thing to do

and that is not in a competition for that i'm very disappointed. because nuclear power is often sold as the clean green solution to me how a burgeoning energy demands as the crisis unfolds are for pushing up people are questioning whether they want that danger on their doorstep i see him next. as you pan struggles with a nuclear crisis are you concerned about the stability of nuclear facilities near you this week let's talk about that. sellafield is cold enough and you click on an england coach pretty safe you feel like it's safe. our selves live across the river from a nuclear power plant virginia and it's it's it's it's it's a concern certainly it's better than spending a lot of tax dollars on it and you had to choose why something about you know it's like this toto you know you look at cell phones you know cell phone chargers radio

waves where if a report came out tomorrow that says cell phones cause cancer people to the cell phones down now they're not so people take the nuclear there's a if it has been works people are really interested in you know surfin way and different kinds of alternative energies leaving about us. enough companies put enough money into the research there's enough research dollars that it's not going to be a viable alternative and what pays for those tax dollars right correct so if we stop spending money and will we can start spending money on energy saving that would ever happen. hopefully my lifetime i find it amazing the amount of energy what's being used here in eric rose in light specifically here in times square so i think people are. maybe a bit too much used to use loads and loads of energy so i guess it's what's going to be quite hard to get them to use. to spend more on green energy because they're

going to be more expensive do you support nuclear energy you know right now. well because it's a disaster i think you think it's a disaster waiting to happen absolutely so what should we do because we consume a lot of energy on idea i have no clue i go if you don't know then how can we rule out nuclear energy. fires though many people so afraid of nuclear energy i know that this is happening right now but most plans are pretty safe sure i think it centers on people always thinking the worst and maybe that's the reaction from nine eleven even when people always think of the things that can get bad so i think there's that armageddon feeling whether or not you support nuclear energy the bottom line is that with all of our energy options there comes in one form or another a high price to pay. you can always give us your reaction to the events that are shaping the world right now just sort of what you often see call where we have more analysis on today's of

mania news and some of the i think the covering here the fear that's spreading faster than radiation free how those living well beyond trolls are clearing out pharmacies they want to avoid contamination and put it off why is the price we just rising health. gunning for a new and going to symbolize a state utah adults a firearm and i see a much reply on some talk. plus an energy giant gazprom wants to get its point across to some petersburg's officials who threw out the plans for the controversial skyscraper next stop the call from details on why not all sweet soft coal.

now it's an hour twenty five minutes past the hour here in moscow you would not say let's check out some of the other headlines are now this hour and there's been heavy fighting between the army and rebels in southern sudan at least seventy eight dead the violence started after a failure to get militias to join the southern army in the oil producing areas near what will be soon a new national border southern sudan becomes an independent nation in july following a mostly peaceful referendum which almost unanimously chose to secede and or the new government meantime is accused of arming rebel factions. the un secretary general has condemned the increasing violence in ivory coast ranking moon described the situation as an urban warfare and a crime against humanity it's after the deadly shelling by security forces in a market on which at least twenty five people are thought to have died the u.n. blames of forces loyal to president laurent gbagbo who still refuses to go despite losing last year's poll and then a spark months of violence. i think your friends are taking part in their first

fully free votes in decades it's happening in a referendum on constitutional reform so you know organized by the military leadership which is in charge following birth february uprising that toppled the presidency of hosni mubarak over half of egypt's eighty million people are now eligible to vote and people have been forming long queues since this morning reforms will allow for parliamentary elections in the future. right now just a few moments here on r.t. we explore terrorism in russia and why and many incidents involve suicide bombers from the north caucuses that's after iraq and you on our developing news this is where you stay with us.

sports is political 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 same the

ties between professional football and the u.s. military have existed since the start of the n.f.l. back in one thousand funny that when nations implemented slaves during world war two and today that bond is stronger than ever and won't be uncertain as to kill kill kill kill kill in a look at recent history is taught us the sports is never just something that we just sit back and smile and sports always had an important social function in the history of american sports is no different. it's six.
