if. if. more civilian deaths in libya as nato takes command of military operations here and get a few small succeeded in pushing rebel fighters further back on policy in the capital city of tripoli join me in a few moments and i'll bring you more. security services in europe warmed up libyan experts could be put to terrorism and actually conspiring with al qaeda. and sentencing is delayed again for an israeli businessman trapped in georgia going to court decision he says he said the government tries to avoid paying off hundred million dollars and.

that are you watching us he will live from moscow our top story now in libya government troops have pushed rebel forces out of recently captured territory couldn't control things hometown after a heavy counter offensive in the capital tripoli which has been a constant target for nato missiles have been reports of further explosions. there was keeping across to run it wants. 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 that almost lightning advancement waste over libya if it was accurate to say that then people here were feeling nervous i think that nervousness is now being transferred to the rebels and the excitement that the rebels were feeling just three four days ago has now been transferred here to tripoli and we've witnessed that in the last two nights there has been angry and now 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 the defeat 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 latest reports we have to do suggests that the rebels have been pushed now to the city of enjoy watching that this city is clearly in the hands of the daffy's men 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 search now not only have they been pushed to 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 that far from the city. 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 in actually able to advance to that city of ajdabiya the international community was over against to say that the un resolution my nine seven three did not or not is international countries to supply them at the rebels with weapons but now we seem to be hearing almost a difference of opinion on that at that summit yesterday and she's demanding the u.s. secretary of state hillary clinton said it was not one single thing that if in the framework of their. lucian if americans could be allowed we know that france is going to be holding discussions over this very issue to happen moment what we're hearing though is that countries will not be supplying the rebels with weapons right know if 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 it is increasingly clear that the group will certainly need more than just a strike because it's until now the rebels are only been able to advance because of these coalition airstrikes a big surprise if more than

a week later they're now being pushed back to where they began and the coalition airstrikes have been continuing for more than ten days but instead here it seems as if the u.s. may strikes are some people not enough to. point out first hand what's happening on the front line in the twitter feeds to support a poster with a. twitter page search for the school. mission correspondents in the trap of thinking news as. it. often is going off is in the major rebel stronghold the city of brain ghazi he reports now on how people there are refusing to give up their positions despite their. 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 lot i mean here by they can tell you that all the locals here are really stating

only on the one position and that is for gadhafi to go as soon as possible on the rebel say that they are ready to battle the fight until the end either until they're gone or until god i fees got the pyramid there's an illusion of a normal life because many shops are open to cafes and even restaurants but at the same time the banks are still not working and also neither are schools in fact just yesterday i saw a ten or maybe eleven year old boy dressed in a 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 the war going to rise to an interim council they've also organized and you national bank and a new national oil company but when it comes to oil that industry is clearly 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 refinery working clearly indicates he is in the town of tobruk this may be enough to supply the the rebels with gasoline and oil but it's truly not enough for exporting oil abroad. ukase a secret service and i five has growing concerns that they've been experts plotting terrorist attacks in britain according to reports it would prevent for bombing raids countries on. threats connected to. e.u. countries have taken the lead 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 claim colonel gadhafi now has 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 three leading countries of the offensive of the operation but. in the united states of course the only option he has really is to use terror so i think. it's a clear could in prison then today in the coming days needing to coming weeks but backing for and he could have few rubles could backfire further rebel leaders include the libyan islamic fighting group and associates of al qaida and the casualties mounting every day from allied bombing make fertile recruiting ground for anti western forces there are agents of

a guy who are working now in libya in that atmosphere of pale. e.u. muslims protest against nato bombing of libya the organizer says people should prepare for the worst there's not only there's a very strong likelihood. that the most the tack the rotation. the invasion of iraq led to a surge 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 now 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 all to you terrorists strike is now just a question of time. brussels. thirty minutes time in

cross talk debate show his guests discuss how successful nato has been. with the other interventions like iraq they didn't have an exit strategy but this one they don't seem to have an entry strategy either. further details have emerged on a military operation in which russia's number one terrorist may have been killed the suggestion that. seventeen militants. in the country monday comes from a security source. from central asked to explain more peter they've been reports before about is it likely to be true this time. writer stands at the moment security services and investigators are being cautious about announcing a. day of the al qaeda linked terror leader. no they have

said in the past it has been announced around eight times in the past that they killed him in in operations. south of russia in the north caucasus region and knotts turned out not to be true so they're waiting on a thorough investigation is taking place in the aftermath of a major operation that took place on monday in a shady a in the north caucuses now once the d.n.a. testing is being carried out on those seventeen people who would killed while resisting arrest from security services if not operation investigation is being fully carried out then they will give an announcement. of was among those seventeen who were killed on monday in english eighty you know this was a huge huge operation the largest we've seen in about ten years from security services in the area that used the full force of the russian security services we saw from the sky using aerial bombings as well as helicopter gunships being used to

suspects were arrested on the scene a hell of a seventeen as they say resisting arrest were killed by security forces in that raid on what's believed to have been a a headquarters a hideout full senior members of the north caucasus terrorist cells that operate in that area. what exactly. you said at the start they do model was russia's terrorist number one he is certainly the most wanted in the country he has links to al qaida and his his terrorist cells how they carried out a slew of deadly attacks across russia and just on tuesday he was the fish really charged with the with being the mastermind behind the january suicide attack

on the airport here in moscow now called course tuesday of course of which well the anniversary the one year anniversary of another. all the models. claim to go create terror attacks claimed by your model took so many lives that was the double suicide bombing on the moscow metro also be responsible for many many attacks claimed responsibility for many many attacks across russia and it's threatened the civilian population of russia on many occasions so a very very much public enemy number one here in the country goodness not just inside russia's borders that he is wanted it was announced that the united states had placed him on their. wanted list also the united nations looking out wanting to see him being brought to justice. they are some correspondent peter one of the five that. went to japan where the government is

considering the construction of a containment shell but the damaged fukushima nuclear power plant. for the radiation leaks crisis and is still being described as a main plan that would involve the three most of the reactors being covered with high tech material the level of radiation measured in seawater near the site is now said you're around three and a half thousand times higher than the. other than success from trying to restore the cooling system of the facility what is now the worst crisis since. he says there are parallels with that disaster twenty five years ago. it was only it was a very very dangerous and harmful substance unit in very small quantities the plutonium even is ingested by a human body or almost certainly leads to that of cancer there's no

concept oh to more heat flow in whole foods or the radioactive fuel which will retaliate for many many many thousands of years but we know from the information provided by the i.a.e.a. already lost we are already in significant amount of subs the radio because that's where we're at night. to a situation where we can compare it to journal and to. see who comes to the amount of release of radioactive substances plus that is that there's a danger of the release of plutonium. or school has traveled in the initials and to find out whether nature is sharing any signs of recovery that he sent this report 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 of a role model of a perfect town but also it was one of its biggest secrets towns like were called the mcgrath 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 chernobyl exclusion zone and it is believed to be very unsafe to live here in terms of radiation levels but 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 st ives when the explosion happened nobody knew what was going on in the very first hours so the authorities set up a security checkpoint in order to avoid anyone leaving the city and entering the contaminated area 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 so 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 of radiation would be able to kill a human being within minutes or even seconds now i'm walking in the central part of people right now and my radiation meter shows the level of around one hundred and forty mike are on our this is of course about five seven times more than the normal human level and it may sound scary to some but this is a radiation would not kill a human being but in some parts of the parents radiation levels go much much higher this is now around three hundred and twenty 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 the. ideation level will go dramatically higher now this layer of moss is one of the most dangerous spots in people in fact and it acts like a radioactive sponsor if we put radiation meter on it you can see and you can even

hear how frantic the radiation meter goes and the numbers are increasing rapidly. some may say that this is very dangerous for for human health but some specialists have 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 years since the chernobyl accident should anything like that happen at the fukushima nuclear reactor the entire fifty sixty maybe even seventy kilometer radius would be evacuated that is according to some experts but clearly for this land for the exclusion zone in ukraine well images will remain until the end of times as this land will never be inhabited again alexi russia asking r.t.

reporting from the chernobyl exclusion zone in ukraine. yes we can always find that story and many more are to call twenty four hours a day including still on track russia plans to build high speed rail links with seven in capitals in time twenty eight cup. these are on the prowl for criminal searches on. two hundred pages. in georgia verdict in a controversial trial of its very best the one billion dollars government has been postponed the judge became ill ronnie food has already been jail for six months is
