group so chill mccurry granted these are neutral because their mission marco results will be sold at the sochi olympics. which would result michael really closer to home occur revering the children since the children. would be in government says the coalition's airstrikes on the country have claimed more civilian lives as programming forces target a rebel held city in the west so. this is not by the way not a no fly zone it's also a no drive zone no walks or. concerns about the hidden agenda behind the military intervention in libya and made conflicting statements from british officials on target saying cut open. and in other news radiation levels around the country i'm a nuclear plants are reported to be over one and a half thousand times higher than normal for fears of food or water contamination

in the area growing. at seven pm here in moscow this is our team coming to you live thanks for being with us straight to our top story this hour international coalition forces have conducted air strikes on libya for a third night the country's government says there have been more civilian deaths and u.s. fighter jet crashed there although american officials say it was not shot down troops loyal to the libyan leader colonel gadhafi are attacking rebel strongholds in the west of the country are. the results of one of the air strikes in tripoli. i mean a case that locals here call the peaks is false this was hit being told us six himself friday night as you can see the faces if you destroyed there is still smoke there is still those crits of looming in the air now the locals if we talked he said that

there was no one here so fortunate you know actually killed one of us at sixty eight destruction station this hearing is a missile transport and as you can see it's been completely destroyed there's just nothing left remains in other parts of this workshop they all shoot rockets and other kinds of rockets. just the center piece he hears and if he did want action in the sixty six that he didn't actually stand marcus was considered a legitimate target because they said none of this equipment was being used in fact they say that there was a past year they say that there was a worker's car and those kind of vehicles were simply used to take people home at the end of every day that city this is machinery that must have been used by the libyan army and where they want out it's antiquated or whether or not it's still relevant i cannot answer those questions but it is understandable at least to some extent why the coalition forces structure now the crowd has gathered inside the

storage facility they're incredibly angry they're holding up pictures at home a bit of a screaming condemnation criticism at the international community a little bit further on the hill with locals that have literally come with the children and families to see what is happening the sense you get on the ground is that this is just a ticking bomb the anger the frustration that is growing on the streets of tripoli is discernible the streets are very very quiet and most of the shops are closed people are very afraid because for three consecutive nights the missiles have fell so the question on everyone's mind here is what makes the international community constituted with god as a legitimate target in tripoli for the c.r.t. tripoli. well our polls there has been in tripoli for two weeks now she's constantly tweeting for us from the capital during these coalition bombings as we just saw from her there at that where house her last tweet coming in saying that

there were no deaths there but you saw for yourself the results of what what what those overnight bombings have done course the capital bracing itself for another night keep track a close up of what's happening in tripoli the falsely of our t underscore come on twitter. well moscow is standing firm over the crisis in libya saying the no fly zone over the country should be used only to protect civilians and bring peace president medvedev stance has been backed by russians defense minister who has met with pentagon chief parties cut your nose are about has more from moscow. the u.s. a good secretary of defense robert gates met with his russian counterpart in moscow today of the day is of course the second day of his visit to russia and he spent yesterday and some hears berg and during the discussion the two men talked about all things relevant to the relationship between moscow and washington of those of course including the start treaty and all the work being done there the

collaboration between russia and the coalition forces led of course by the united states and afghanistan the two men of course could not avoid the subject of libya russia once again reiterating its position that the u.n. resolution one thousand nine hundred eighty three was basically enforced in order to ensure a no fly zone that would in fact it in turn to guarantee civilians on the ground in libya some sort of security and safety that has not been the case so far according to russian politicians and russian officials and u.s. secretary of defense robert gates seemed to agree with that statement saying that the military. incursion into libya and the military presence in libya will have to be significantly decreased and that libyans and only libyans have the power and the right to decide the fate of their own country version of president that he didn't actually took the problem even further the conflict in libya according to him has

not only affected that country but also the north african region and also could in fact in danger in the peace process negotiations that concern in the middle east that of course was said during a meeting between the russian president leader of the palestinian national authority mahmoud abbas which also took place here in moscow's larssen foreign minister also voiced his concern saying that he believes that if the situation in libya worsens and the military presence in libya does continue it could actually lead to further destabilization of the entire region and possibly even a. it's spread of international terrorism. different reaction to the military operations in britain there appears to be inconsistency about the aims the coalition is pursuing in libya prime minister cameron says regime change is not only a table but u.k. defense and foreign secretaries have said that there is a possibility that troops could target colonel gadhafi. has the latest from.

the governments both in front of it scenes and also behind the scenes is arguing that gadhafi himself could be construed as a threat to the civilian population and therefore it would be illegal and within the terms of the un security council resolution to endeavor to target him on the other side we've got the army and the chief of the defense staff who when asked if he thought it was committed under the terms of the resolution to target or he personally he unequivocally said absolutely not and said he didn't want to discuss this any further we are seeing in this careful international division as well senior people in washington also say that direct strike against gadhafi would not be permitted under the terms of a security council resolution now why is this so important well of course it belies confusion within the ranks as far as this no fly zone and this military intervention is concerned it shows a lack of planning why weren't these questions discussed before they went in were

they in fact and the u.n. security council will come out but now the the resolution is open to a bit of playing with words a bit of interpretation after the ferocity of the first air strikes that we saw the arab league said this is not really what we signed up for so it also raises the specter of those dreaded words regime change which brings up shades of iraq not very many people in this country the general feeling would be that the this country would not tolerate another iraq like situation so the government is being urged by factions inside it to stick religiously to the terms of this u.n. security council resolution to avoid this mission creep and to avoid this sort of at least one ended commitment to having military intervention in the region but it seems that with this reinterpretation of what the resolution actually means it's kind of playing with the words the government isn't actually doing that and doesn't look like it will. well india has condemned the invasion of libya by the new coalition saying that not enough time was devoted to a peaceful revolution

a resolution i say. brought off the latest reaction from. the minister of external affairs did say that he believes that airstrikes would be counterproductive and actually harm innocent civilians foreigners and diplomats. you can watch the full reporting get statements on the situation from world leaders on our website r.t. dot com part of the latest developments and analysis a news conference at the r t. well as the allied bombing of libya i'm sure is day three americans getting involved in another long term war which will ruin its economy that's the opinion of lou rockwell chairman of a u.s. based research institute. they want to divide and conquer just like the romans so they yes this is this is not by the way not a no fly zone it's also a no drive zone or no walk so. they mediately they didn't keep them as bad as it

would be to intervene to keep airplanes from flying immediately or attacking people on the ground. or. killing a lot a lot of a lot of people don't have blood point. we don't know whose blood it is but i believe it's a good thing there are a huge part of it this is not a good thing that we have another war going on and i must say from the standpoint of an american concern with the fact that our government is broke that the dollar is going down the drain the government is putting the whole country on the most horrific financial circumstances where they're starting yet another war to spend who knows how many billions of dollars makes the military industrial complex very happy for them to say among us taxpayers we don't like it so these rebels are being led by former officials of the gadhafi regime these are going on a bunch of work for terry and so i think yes as they struggle for power and as one group will want the u.s. helping them maybe they'll be regional players whether it's the people in egypt or

sudan or some of the other countries in the area that may don't want another u.s. occupation right in their backyard so yeah i think there could be much more of an open civil war. he ras is planning to hand over its leading role in the operations in libya and the question now and who will pick up on professor hall gardner from the american university in paris says it won't be nato because of internal. they are really is that the two major allies in nato germany and turkey have been the most consistent critics of the post they were best allies during the cold war and become the most reluctant to engage in military actions i'm after the cold war so you see that merkel but you also see that in the illiterate opposition to any kind of the military participation within a nato context i think that. nato could probably stay in the background but it will not be a nato operation. while you can keep up with the very latest on the libyan crisis

engineers have been able to resume their efforts to connect power to older reactors under for when you play a power plant yesterday these efforts had to be stopped after smoke started billowing out of two of the reactors as soon as the power is reconnected several more starts will have to be taken but eventually the engineers are hoping that the water cooling systems will be able to be reactivated otherwise the focus has shifted to the impact of the radiation which has already been released that ortiz are saying that in some of there is around the plant the radiation levels are one thousand six hundred times higher than the should be normally villagers in nearby settlements have been told not to drink water because it contains possible radioactive elements and so they be given bottled water there's also suspicion that some of the marine life around the plant on the coast as being a poisoned as well duck may play some sort of risk to the fishery who also had scares over the weekend and afterwards that i would cultural products from that

area may be contaminated as well now the thirty's are saying that the levels are safe but of course there's still a level of anxiety among the japanese people and even people that sort of possible risks of radiation of course there are still the impact of the earthquake and the tsunami which has recently struck japan police are saying that nine thousand people have been confirmed as dead more than twelve thousand is missing three hundred thousand or more than that remain homeless and of course the number of the confirmed dead is likely to grow over the next few weeks. but rove is tweeting for us from tokyo you can tap out the radios from there has the last three tells us about how his hotel room on the thirty years for it is so clear about the first hand experience and the latest updates at our twitter account at our to underscore column. about the nuclear crisis in japan has evoked fears that a new atomic catastrophe devastate the country the only nation to ever feel the

force of a nuclear weapon the man still remembers the horror of the event sixty five years our art is over bennett reports from. this man has been on the scars of nuclear disaster for most of his life as a resident of niger sucky you sherry in milwaukee has had liver and kidney problems since he was thirty five and he's already beaten cancer twice every time he falls ill now he feels it could be his last battle shooter watches events unfold at fukushima hearing the true nature of the disaster is yet to show itself so you are saying that the result of the contamination will just end all for the event it will be handed down from generation to generation and i have four daughters the first to have leukemia another has breast cancer the results of a disaster will be shown in generations to come. you should know was just eleven when the bomb was dropped he survived the blast but was exposed to lethal levels of

radiation on his two trips to the hypocenter first to find his father then to bury him despite everything he's pro nuclear power but still thinks fleeing from fukushima is the wise thing to do so then you have the i don't think the public all the governments are overreacting in this situation i think people must take all precautionary measures they can to avoid the worst for the rest of the night as psyche the stands today had to be built from scratch eleven square kilometers were reduced to dust a cloud of its tragic past still hangs over the city and some residents though know what it means to suffer and are willing to help those in need members of the international volunteer organization the lion's club here collecting for the victims of the earthquake and tsunami everyone's desperate to give with donations already ten times higher than normal. we have

a custom something happens in our nation with political mission to help each other especially the people and i guess i am very very sensitive to atomic power so we are very worried about what happened. and we want to help more than. every way it sounding like a sack it is a memorial to the seventy five thousand died when the atomic bomb was dropped here this one that exact moment now the city will for ever serve as a reminder of the struct of attention every hour and there is here now praying that the question that were around in the same way in august sakis transformation has been remarkable ground zero is unrecognizable a city would escape any radiation from a meltdown at fukushima but there is a nuclear plant close by and the incident has left residents living in fear. of. the people from the biggest circle of hiroshima are very sensitive to the incident

. we've never experienced such a devastating nuclear accident before and i think everyone is no free and this could happen again i wasn't afraid of nuclear accidents before but now because i can see it's not under control so this memorial represents the crave by so many after the explosion the basins tranquility a far cry from the destruction wrought by the tsunami has done its damage this place reminds us the ripples from a radioactive disaster extends for generations i bet it's. something. now all japan's nuclear crisis is a source of anxiety for millions for some it could be a source of conflict and about ten minutes time max keiser and stacy herbert discuss how much human lives are worth to major corporations. are the remaining japanese population going to skyrocket in value because of this theory that the more worse you screw up our economy the higher prices go maxwell speaking of

extinction in relation to the japanese nuclear disaster documentation is emerging from nine hundred seventy two when this plant and this reactor was designed that the three nuclear scientists working on it resigned because it was so on safe this reactor built by g.e. the u.s. government of the department of energy was also aware of this but they decided not to do anything because it would essentially make the nuclear industry extinct reckless their reckless and there they are they fall the masters of blind profiteering and human life is worth nothing. live from moscow belgium is heading for a political record as the country's been a deadlock over for me a new government for almost a year french and speaking parties have been in talks and selections last summer
