3:01 am
world news twenty four hours a day you're watching our table straight to our top story now in libya pro-government troops have pushed rebel forces out of recently captured territory that colonel gadhafi is home town after a heavy counter offensive right in the capital tripoli which has been a constant target the nato missiles have been reports of further explosions artie's course there is keeping across developments. the mood here i think it is quite accurate to say has done almost a hundred eighty degree flip since the weekend when the rebel forces began their almost nightly at once and over libya if it was accurate to say that then people here were feeling nervous i think that nervousness is not be transferred to the rebels and the excitement of the rebels who are feeling just three four days ago
3:02 am
has now been transferred here to tripoli certainly people here in the capital city are feeling renewed vigor and they do believe that they have a leader will hang on to power and they do believe that these rebel fighters will be pushed all the way back to being ghazi and we've witnessed that in the last two nights there has been angry demonstrations just in front of the hotel where we've been staying until the early hours of this morning people standing there with banners screaming and shouting and showing their support for gadhafi pull the situation here is so fluid it changes every few hours that frontline constantly moving forward and moving backwards although in the last twenty four hours it certainly seems as if the front line is moving backwards towards the city of benghazi the latest reports we have do suggest that the rebels have been pushed now to the city of being in jail wired that this city is clearly in the hands of the daffy's man it is the last main city before the city of sirte which is a good half a stronghold it is certainly his hometown and they were initially reports coming that the rebels have actually advanced into surge but now not only have they been
3:03 am
pushed into bin jawad we are hearing that they've also been pushed further back to the port city of ras lanuf and indeed the next city for them to be pushed back to will be the city of brega once this happens they are not there far from the city of baghdad which is just outside of benghazi and if you remember it was a little more than a week ago that the rebels first started making their advance and there was so much celebration and so much talk that because of the coalition airstrikes they had actually after a week of a stalemate been actually able to advance to that city of baghdad where there was a lot of confusion is a lot of chaos on the front line with this constant forward and backward movement but certainly what is becoming more and more clear is that. duffy's tactic seems to be she have moved his forces away from the frontline to have allowed him to recruit and into of sent him back to face the rebels in small mobile units rather than in these long convoys of tanks the international community was against to say that the un resolution one ninety seven three did not allow for international countries to supply them at the rebels with weapons but now we seem to be hearing almost
3:04 am
a difference of opinion on that at that summit yesterday tuesday in london the u.s. secretary of state hillary clinton said it was not possible that the fin the framework of their resolution where things could be allowed we know that france is going to be holding discussions over this very issue at the moment what we're hearing though is that countries will not be supplying the rebels with weapons right now but they could in fact to do this in the future certainly we know from countries like britain that from the start they've been pushing for the supply of weapons is increasingly clear that they will certainly need more than just a stride because if until now the rebels have only been able to advance because of these coalition air strikes a big the question if more than a week later they're now being pushed back almost to where they began and the coalition air strikes have been continuing for more than ten days within thirty it seems as if coalition airstrikes are simply not enough so the rebels will need some kind of more systems from the international community which brings a whole host of new questions in terms of just how far the international community wants to wants to become involved. in or is in the major rebel stronghold.
3:05 am
your thoughts now on how people there are refusing to go. everybody here in the city is monitoring the situation out there on the front and of course the news that the rebels were thrown back again by gadhafi forces were somewhat of a large here but i can tell you that all the locals are really standing only on the one position and that is for duffy to go as soon as possible on the rebels say that they are ready to battle the fight until the end either until very dawn or until god i feel is gone the purely there is an illusion of a normal life because many shops are open cafes and even restaurants but at the same time the banks are still not working and also neither of our schools in fact
3:06 am
just yesterday i saw a ten or maybe eleven year old boy dressed in the traffic police uniform directing traffic at the same time the opposition has been working to build the control structure of the administrative structure in the east of the country to organized an interim council they've also organized a new national bank and a new national oil company but when it comes to oil that industry is currently on hold here in the country because of the on the rest many foreign companies international companies suspended their operations here and we're actually hearing that the only will be fine are you working currently in the k.g.b. is in the town off to a group this may be enough to supply the the rebels with the gasoline and the world but it's truly not enough for exploring oil abroad. and find out first hand what's happening on the front line in libya from our twitter feeds
3:07 am
noughties point to slip a solipsist of elements twitter dot com slash otty on the school comp and more information from correspondents in the troubled region and the latest news as it comes. well u.s. congressman dennis says to prevent civilian deaths via washington's legislates has cut off funding for the military campaign. since congress wasn't consulted on whether to go to war and i think the only real power congress has here to assert it's the people's representatives is to stop funding you can meet with a few leaders but there are five hundred thirty five members of congress the constitution of the united states makes it abundantly clear that the war powers is put in the hands of the congress this is not an academic issue by the way because what we have is a president who basically is assumed as a matter of executive privilege the war powers the bombing that has occurred through an enlarged no fly zone where the no fly zone mandate was expanded
3:08 am
to go after it could out the troops and then expand it further to help the rebels as they move towards tripoli there's no way you can avoid civilian casualties and so what we're doing here is in large and humanitarian crisis with more people becoming refugees with more as civilians put at risk of injury or death to the. u.k. secret service and i thought i was going concerns that they do in that spot subplots and terrorist attacks in britain according to reports could be seen as revenge for bombing raids by you know he comes from his own son but the things we and it's easy to push a looks at how these threats could be connected to al qaeda. e.u. countries have taken a leading role in forcing the u.n. resolution but their efforts all the way over in libya now threaten to bring conflict right to their very own back doors i list claim colonel gadhafi now has
3:09 am
little other weapons left in his armory than overseas terror he's faced repeated accusations that he ordered lockerbie bombing that killed two hundred seventy mostly westerners experts say some countries are particularly in the firing line tree leading countries of the offensive and that means from. the united states of course the only option yes really. so i think. it's a clear cut in prison today in the. coming weeks but e.u. backing for anti could that the rebels could back fire further rebel leaders including the libyan islamic fighting group and associates of al qaida and the casualties mounting every day from allied bombing make fertile recruiting grounds and she western forces are. now
3:10 am
in. that. e.u. muslims protest against nato bombing of libya the organizer says people should prepare for the worst let's start really does a very strong like. what we do. track everybody should. i go at the invasion of iraq live in terror attacks in the e.u. almost two hundred people died in the madrid train bombings in two thousand and four while suicide bombers killed fifty two people in london in two thousand and five officials know dread similar results in the wake of this campaign western intelligence reports chris activity among suspected terrorist cells indicating the threat of attack is why one officer told l.t. and e.u. terrorists strike is now just a question of time. see brussels. about twenty minutes in case
3:11 am
lavelle's across talk to bait show his guests discuss how successful nato has been in the set up. with the other interventions like iraq they didn't have an exit strategy with this one they don't seem to have an entry strategy either. to japan now where the government is considering the construction of a containment shell but the damage to the sheema nuclear power plant will be aimed at a voting for the radiation leaks in a crisis i can still describe as grave. would involve the three most badly damaged reactors being covered with high tech to your level of radiation measured in seawater it aside it's now said to be around three in the heart thousand times higher than. workers have been unsuccessfully trying to restore the cooling system of the city is now the worst economic crisis since chernobyl r.t.
3:12 am
spoke to nuclear energy expert says the parallels with that disaster five years ago . the point is a very very good. interests and harmful substance even in very small quantities of plutonium leventis ingested by a human body it almost certainly leads to the development of cancer there's no concept coach you know he saw in holland who saw the radioactive fuel which will radiate for many many many thousands of years but we know from the information provided by a already lost we there aren't significant amount of subs radio closeups that's we're at night. to a situation where we can't compare our journal and some of our it will come from the knowledge of release of radioactive substances plus at this time there's a danger of the release of plutonium. that seems alexy are stressed he has
3:13 am
travelled in the novel exclusion zone to find out whether they checked the showing any signs of recovery that said this report from the area abandoned after the catastrophe. exactly twenty five years ago what is now an absolutely lifeless ghost town of in ukraine was a bustling scene this was not only the pride of the soviet union in terms of construction something over role model of a perfect town but also it was one of its biggest secrets towns like people were called out on the ground or nuclear city and they were restricted only to the nuclear power plant workers and some military personnel and security service men is nowadays part of the noble exclusion zone and it is believed to be very unsafe to live here in terms of radiation levels now this is the place where the authorities made their first fatal mistake this is called the death bridge it connects the chernobyl nuclear power station and the closest town of people when the explosion happened nobody knew what was going on in the very first hours so the authorities
3:14 am
set up a security checkpoint in order to avoid anyone leaving the city and entering the contaminated area at the security checkpoint was at the very end of this bridge nobody knew how much radiation was emitted and most of the policemen who were working at this security checkpoint died in the first days after the explosion and there's a lot of misperception and misunderstanding concerning the levels of radiation in the chernobyl area or how dangerous it is here many speculate as to whether the land is populated with mutants or the levels the radiation would be able to kill a human being within minutes or even seconds now i'm walking in the central part of previous right now and my radiation meter shows the level of around a hundred and forty micro wrong an hour this is of course about five seven times more than the normal human level and it may sound scary to some but this still is a radiation would not kill a human being but in some parts of p.p.i. it's radiation levels go much much higher this is now around three hundred twenty
3:15 am
micro wrong ins which is more than fifteen times more than the normal human level of radiation but if we just take a little walk to this layer of moss on the ground you'll see that there. ideation level will go dramatically higher now this layer of moss is one of the most dangerous spots and people in fact and it acts like a radioactive sponsor if we put the radiation meter on it you can see and you can even hear how frantic the radiation to goes and the numbers are increasing rapidly some may say that this is very dangerous for for human health but some specialists told me on many occasions that in order to get some kind of harm to your body to to maybe even get the first stages of radiation sickness you have to literally just sit in the slayer for a week or so and only then you will feel some harm to your body and the fallout period of many nuclear particle still remaining in this area amounts to several thousand years only few of them actually started their fall out period twenty five
3:16 am
years since the chernobyl accident should anything like that happen at the fukushima nuclear reactor the fifty sixty maybe even seventy kilometer radius would be evacuated that is according to some experts but clearly this land for the exclusion zone in ukraine will images will remain until the end of times as this land will never be inhabited again and let's see russia ascii art see reporting from the chernobyl exclusion zone in ukraine we always find that story and many r.t. dot com but everyone including still on track russia plans to build high speed rail links in several capitals time twenty into the world cup also. police are on the prowl for a birdbrain criminal search is on for both plots and we. can.
