images of the workers struggling to stabilize the situation in japan's fukushima power plant with reports that we more think suppose to dangerous levels of radiation. this is art's a very good evening from kevin owen it's eight pm thursday night in moscow and our top story for a fifth night explosions and gunfire have shaken tripoli and other libyan cities as coalition forces conduct more of strikes while the allies debates over who will take command of the operation from the u.s. fighting between gadhafi troops and the opposition is intensifying in the west of the country. as the latest tonight from tripoli. what are you noticing more and more is that the momentum for this operation in libya remains in the balance it's literally hanging in the balance because on the international front we're seeing

the coalition forces are now says not agreeing in terms of how to move forward here on the ground the rebel groups themselves are divided in terms of how they want to move forward and even now here in the capital city of tripoli which is traditionally the stronghold of moammar gadhafi we are hearing from him in every reports of some of his former supporters starting to meet in secret now from the coalition is trying to inform the coalition community we know that for six days these airstrikes have been happening overnight and into the early hours of this morning we are being told that they hit military bases around the country that is just one story emerging as it always does with a capital city fear we've been told that a number of civilians have been killed and injured one of the towns that the coalition hit according to them was the town of misrata and they insisting that they've managed to stem the government force advancement there but we are hearing conflicting reports some of those reports suggesting that for days now the town has been unable to have access to water still and kiss a t.v.

that gadhafi soldiers are literally going from house to house that they've hit the local hospital here in tripoli immediately also this morning and for several hours off the words they were loud explosions it was all said and he aircraft gunfire exploding in the sky so tripoli again coming under intense fire overnight now the coalition has insisted that the airstrikes have been successful it says it could definitely a capability has been completely wiped out he is denying this he says that he has a capability to continue for some time to come the rebels themselves are now starting to find themselves in an incredibly difficult position they are calling on the international community for some kind of freak him to strike as they try to advance forward the stalemate on the ground is that the rebels do not have the weaponry they do not have the rank and command structure they certainly do not have the experience to take on gadhafi soldiers but those soldiers in turn do not have the numbers. so you have this situation on the ground we need a group that is able to actually move forward and advance already now for three

straight days major leaders have been meeting to try and decide who can actually move forward who can take control of this operation over libya and today they said to me for a fourth day seems to be no dream into inside turkey is one of those countries that is most critical the sticking point is essentially the killing of civilians and teach insisting that they can be no civilians killed in such an operation but of course the other european powers are saying that it needs to be unable to be there will be some kind of level of damage that of course they try not to injure civilians the civilians will always get caught in the crossfire the bonnet administration is incorporated face because for days now we've heard the american president insists that america's handing over control of this operation to nato countries and he keeps saying that this is going to happen soon but certainly in terms of the cracks missing on the international front it doesn't seem as if it's going to happen any time soon so the question really at the heart of this debate is whether or not these airstrikes can continue who will take control over them and

for just how much longer they can carry on. archie's war correspondent paula sleepers also keeping you right up to date on our twitter feed as well the jews tweeted that there are rumors that bodies left the fighting between gadhafi forces and rebels big presented as evidence of coalition casualties that is the latest from followers to go to underscore calm for the makers on the ground in libya. is the allied coalition is unstable because it's driven by the mercenary interests of the u.s. and other countries. the term call ition should be changed to kolisch nothing beyond will mean we've never seen such a divergence of view there is no clear mission here the the entire thing of manipulation by washington a farmer in the arab league to get the us will put to the un security council and that gave washington the country into this no fly zone which is a war declaration there is no peaceful no prize only if the italians accusing the

prince of trying to grab the oil that italian oil say from seed oil companies now have to end in libya and the british are in there with the trying to grab their piece of the oil riches of libya as. well as the crisis in libya unfold as the revolutionary euphoria in age it is subsiding but many fear the return of the old gods and question whether the new need is will bring about the changes they fought for a physical place can offers more from cairo. several weeks have passed since the revolt but it seems the wheels of the old political machine are still turning we start now our usual vision didn't finish here we need. we will be able. to better ourselves. now that would be. the used to be an anchor on egypt's national state run media she claims even though president mubarak has already stepped down the media is still being million fewer than

a demanding is to. me out around all those who are around including the hard elephant this up at that meeting and breaking in late january several hundred thousand people took to the streets of cairo demanding president mubarak step down after several weeks of violence the president. according to the united nations around three hundred people lost their lives during the unrest thousands of others were injured five since then the interim government has held a nationwide referendum. elections to be held before the end of the year but many activists say it's too soon for the newly emerged political movements to gain enough momentum before the world elections coming very soon nobody is prepared. and for a lot of the leftists and a lot of the of the political activists they're thinking that maybe this will be staged as a way to be in power the n.d.p.

alongside the president for the last three decades the national democratic party was the ruling authority in the country and meath year with state media still under its control it may gain enough force to come back to power. even though the phrases the recent violence are so obvious life on the city streets seems to be returning to normal here on the square most of the trucks every opened and heavy traffic. return to but the political situation in the country is still far from healthy sure thousands mobilized to get rid of the authorities but whether it be in muling emerging powers will be able to get their act together in time for the election and what direction it will be to this country and it's still a big question even for the revolutionaries themselves you've got this kind of forty cairo i might be interested to know just a few minutes indeed we look at what the changes needed might mean for the peace

process in the middle east. benjamin netanyahu has asked for russia's help in putting out the metaphorical fires ravaging north africa and middle east regions of the details coming up. also at this hour a look at how the unrest in the arab world has echoed in europe to restring the influx of immigrants who threaten its already impact on the bottom. or place protesters have clashed in brussels as european union leaders are gathering there for a fresh attempt to address the e.u.'s year long debt crisis bushell has more from the belgian capital. water cannon and pepper spray being used against protesters and police actually band man barricades to band protest just getting into the building where i am now this book of building houses the european parliament and the european council really the key to buildings that they were allowed about thirty meters away a stone's throw away feel like that's exactly what happened demonstrators threw

stones postals any other sharp objects that came their way to try and hit the building now the leaders who are gathering for this for this and people all furious at the double standards the big story that you know e.u. cracks down on demonstrators in the north of europe in the very center of europe but when libya's leader colonel gadhafi cracks down on the demonstrators there the e.u. chooses to bomb the e.u. leaders are not there for the morning they've arrived in the afternoon and police have actually pushed the protesters away for the way now so the e.u. leaders don't see see the protests as they are happening he's expected to force an even stricter on precedented level of powers for itself which we impose all sterrett in measures on countries which it sees as overspending portugal's

prime minister has resigned yesterday as a result of this parliament refusing all certain measures which gives you a sense that the public does not support these austerity measures protesters speaking to today told me that you know their wages are being cut friends and family being laid off and this is not what they signed up to a trade union leaders say that europe's social model is something that they want to keep a generous pension system the good working conditions and they see this as back for europe as a whole. bushell there will be use resources robots we even further stretched it was the region seeing an influx of immigrants from the trouble torn arab world but is really good explored how those trying to escape the frying pan of northern africa are often jumping into a fire of new problems. under is to egypt. and we will do. and a full out civil war in the game as northern africa is to play with the rest people

free the region you keep you here us in your home countries and many end up in greece where their lives hardly get any simpler as one of two hundred fifty migrants living in this makeshift refugee camp in the center of the pretty capital . frankly their greece is a european country the quality of life here is not much better than it home after the financial crisis it's nearly impossible to find a job here because of me here is lagging behind many other european states. tens of thousands of liberians come into the country every year most of them are hoping to move on to other countries like france and germany using greece as a transfer base however a lot of them end up staying hoping to make it in the country yet the country is not able to handle such an influx of migrants and some are calling the situation catastrophic last year alone thirty six thousand migrants mostly from the group countries were arrested for illegally crossing into the country now the situation

in which the african region has gone from bad to worse the number of migrants seeking to see that removal is sure to rise of course there are plenty that is obvious no one contests the fact that that is not the reason. to do nothing. otherwise existing problems of social visit the glacier in this country that have nothing to do with migration getting bigger and bigger migrants themselves only have one hope that the situation in north africa can stabilize and they will be able to return home. every person must leave in war in the country and not in a foreign land used to feel human at home the one whose loved ones betrayed no life or no home countries. and move the coolish and forces are busy from boarding libya seeking to coerce a country to peace its european nations like greece that ended up getting hit the hardest i don't see athens greece. the situation in the middle east is not heading

in a positive direction so said to be triggered ready to reaching israeli prime minister binyamin netanyahu moscow russia is hoping to help get the israeli palestinian peace negotiations back on track the talks been stalled since when israel refused to extend the freeze on settlement construction in the west bank and his country in a zone of reports next from. the current unrest sweeping the north north african and middle east regions were definitely topping the agenda of talks between benjamin netanyahu the israeli prime minister and the russian president taking the lead here in moscow both men agreeing that efforts need to be stepped up in order to control the g. satellites they should perhaps resume peace negotiations in the middle east conflict between israel and the palestinian national authority agree to meet me just saying no to tonic changes are currently under way which could lead to severe disability ation of the region as a whole and could prove seriously detrimental to the continuation of the middle

east peace negotiations then you may get some yahoo this says said that russia has a lot of experience in putting out these metaphorical fires they're currently ravaging north africa and the middle east and asked for russia's help in putting those fires out mentioning of course the great existence of terrorist threats that could also prove detrimental to continuing negotiations peace negotiations which have been stalled since september russia is of course a part of the middle east. quartet which also strives to mediate and monitor the negotiations between israel and palestine but russia also wants to step up its role as a moderator in these negotiations hoping to jump start that it could lead to peace process the situation of course in israel is ted's not only with the ongoing conflicts in countries such as egypt to ginny's libya another north and north african states but also with the ongoing threat of terrorism in israel itself

yesterday terrorist attack took place in jerusalem the first in a number of years there were casualties on the ground so the situation in israel is very tense right now which is perhaps why twenty minutes and you know who is in moscow hoping to get the systems from russia russia of course very willing to step up to the plate and act as a mediator in the negotiations. we'll bring you up to speed no the latest from japan today where three more workers have been exposed to harmful levels of radiation while trying to connect the atrocity in fukushima nuclear plug it's raising the question of the people working to make the facility safer heroes all victims as well if you go good old live reports from japan. after being forced off the side of focus by blood potentially radioactive smoke coming from one of the reactors today the engineers have been able to return to the site focusing on reactor number three that's one of those emitting the slope it's also dollar

thought he operates on plutonium which is a dangerous in case of any potential contamination those initially a wave of optimism over the weekend as more and more reactors are connected up to electricity it was assumed that once this is done the cooling systems could be restarted a lot of attention has been focused on the so-called nuclear summer right the workers themselves helping to restore the station to a normal state on the one hand they see by the media as heroes people who are risking their own lives and doing everything to save japan from nuclear disaster but in other hand they're seen as victims a lot of these people are not professionally trained because as we know from what happened in chernobyl a lot of these workers have a tendency to suffer cancers and other elements for years and years afterwards just today we received new job a couple could be hospitalized for receiving too high a dose and this is a story that will be developing over the next weeks and even then months and years

the radiation fallout from the accident keeps spreading because of levels of radioactive are being exceeded by more than one hundred times around the area and it's reached the spot as tokyo disqualified of the government told people stay stay calm they swept mineral water off the shelves here other countries are also taking what they're saying are precautionary measures to prevent the radiation spreading abroad several countries had already banned the import of better and fruit growing around the fukushima area we got the first estimates of the damage actually my top three hundred billion dollars have expensive natural calamity in history. the tragedy in japan has been extensively covered by news outlets around the. world the images of the earthquake and tsunami have garnered huge interest but it's also started debates on why other natural disasters in less developed countries failed to drive such attention that is going to climb try to explain. images that shook

the world tragedy live twenty four seven leading news outlets deployed their best journalists to cover the disaster in japan and the hearts of billions of viewers worldwide have gone out to those japanese who fell victim to the earthquake and deadly tsunami what makes great television images that make the viewer sympathising feel the tragedy of the people caught up in a natural disaster but when there is a lack of such images streaming live from all screens the sorrow of millions can go almost unnoticed let's look back at the growth earthquake in pakistan it killed more than seventy five thousand people in two thousand and five while the world's media did notice that tragedy the coverage was nothing as intense as we're seeing now in japan some in the business age of pan being a high tech country means coverage is assured whereas less developed nations like

pakistan get much less media attention the world probably got less of the story in some of those other countries because they don't have they didn't have the technology they didn't have the cameras that were right there like they were in japan from different dozens of different angles you saw the waves coming in which is the kind of footage in our business unfortunately that is the dream to be able to get that kind of footage and you don't get that in some of the other third world countries and you see the aftermath the shots of the aftermath of a psych loan that hit mine mark three years ago are horrifying more than one hundred thirty eight thousand people were killed the government of my. more limited access to foreign journalists and there were no live pictures from the disaster zone and as it happens in the news business very quickly the story die down if there is a disaster in the middle of africa in sub-saharan africa it's always

a bit you won't have the same kind of images that you have subject that where he is a twenty four seven operation that's why this ship bed is so huge in terms of for coverage because there are cameras absolutely everywhere if this was in china i would say western china for instance you have probably one parent's of the coverage because the images are not there the earthquake in this province in china killed around sixty eight thousand people and again the coverage was limited and so therefore was where all the interest in the disaster their human tragedy whether in japan or china or chile deserves sympathy but more often than not the attention span of won't news channels depends on which tragedy makes better television i'm going to check on reporting from washington our team. i mean the following on from a report there at eight thirty pm g.m.t. much cause of stacy herbert on r.t. expose

a hidden agenda behind some news coverage in the most edition of the kaiser report . max keiser i brought you a present where you go for a beer. what do you say well i'm calling it the c. herbert funk china can it's a little bit about plutonium mixed with uranium because according to this headline max a glowing report on radiation he has apparently radiation is good for you so this is ann coulter and she wrote on her blog regarding japan the good news is that anyone exposed to excess radiation from the nuclear power plants is now probably much less likely to get cancer you know there's a yellow journalism taken to you know radioactive extreme and radioactive journalism you've got murdoch fox news and called their bill o'reilly here who package dangerous lives and put into the public space hoping to protect the industrialists that they represent in their quest to dismantle the global economy

and cause you know genocide. but for much of the team little bit late so that we bring it on to top world news stories now those syrian leaders pledged to look at the state emergency in place in the countryside one hundred sixty three they've also promised political reforms and an investigation into this week's deaths of twenty five given straight as it comes after a particularly violent few days of protests the recent uprisings of the biggest the country seen since the one nine hundred seventy s. . a suicide car bombing at a police station in northwestern pakistan has left five people dead and the police twenty five others wounded officers say they tried to stop the car for a checkpoint the driver sped through the gates and the vehicle into a building it's a second attack on the police in just two days. and civility for the
