of the. more civilian jets in libya as nato takes command of military operations here and gadhafi still succeeded in pushing rebel fighters for the back on policy in the capital city of tripoli joined in a few moments and up when you will. security services in europe more good libyan expanse could be plotting revenge through terrorism and measuredly conspiring with al qaida. and sentencing is it delayed a gain for an israeli businessman trapped in georgia with the decision he says he's been forced helped by the government which wants to avoid paying one hundred million dollars a.

very warm welcome to you this is also a live from moscow in libya pro-government troops have pushed rebel forces out of recently captured territory mikhail good happens hangs down after a heavy counter offensive well they've also taken aback the key oil port of rosalyn new found in the capital tripoli which has been a constant target for nato missiles there's been no reports of further explosions lost in the cross about them. 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 advancement 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 of the rebels who are feeding 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 demonstrations just in front of the hotel 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 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 to do suggests that the rebels have been pushed now to the city of being your wired that this city is clearly in the hands of gadhafi is man it is the last main city before the city of sirte which is a good effort stronghold it is certainly his hometown and they were initially reports coming that the rebels have actually advanced into sirte but now not only have they been pushed to bin jawad we are hearing that they've also been pushed through the back to the port city of ras lanuf and indeed the next thirty four going to be pushed back to will be the city of gregor and once this happens they

are not that 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 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 baghdad the international community was of pains to say that the u.n. resolution one nine seven three did not allow for international countries to supply the rebels with ricans but now we seem to be hearing almost a difference of opinion on that at that summit yesterday tuesday in london the u.s. secretary of state hillary clinton said it was an obstacle never been the framework of their. solution within stood be allowed we know that france is going to be holding discussions over this very issue at the moment 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 there from the start they've been pushing for this apply of weapons it is increasingly clear that there will certainly need more than just

a strike because it's until now the rebels have only been able to advance because of these coalition is fights a big sequester is more than a week later they're now being pushed back almost to where they began and the coalition airstrikes have been continuing for more than ten days but they certainly it seems as if coalition is tribes are some people not enough. or some native countries including the u.s. and france is the jeth are they good be open to you arming the rebels in the future . those intentions saying to you when they fly resolution is about protecting civilians not supplying rebels with arms and ammunition. in that you should. we all heard the statements of the only goal of the operation is to protect civilians as according to the u.n. resolution we also heard because religion would side with anyone in the conflict at the same time schrans has recently stated it's ready to supply libyan rebels with weapons the nato secretary general has immediately objectives seen the operation is to protect and circulation not on it and we feel you agree with his positions

absolutely there's a large need to go but they're not as in the major rebel stronghold with as you've been garvey he reports now on how people there are refusing to give up their positions despite the latest of. 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 long range here but i can tell you about all the locals here are really staining only on the one position and that is for gadhafi to go as soon as possible on the rebel see that they are ready to battle the fight until the end either until they're gone or until he's on the currently there's an illusion of a normal life because many shots are all going cafes and even restaurants but at the same time the banks are still not working and also neither of our schools in

fact 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 the organizer 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 suspending their operations here and we're actually hearing that the only all refinery working currently in the currency is in the town of this may be enough to supply the the rebels with the gasoline and the world but it's truly not enough for exporting oil abroad. now the u.k.

secret service and i find his growing concerns libyan x. posting a terrorist attack thing britain i thought interim poor through the theme is revenge bombing raids on european countries on kind of going to happens when jeems. question of how these threats could be connected. al qaeda. e.u. countries have taken the lead role in forcing the u.n. resolution but their efforts all the way over in libya now threatens bring conflict right to their very own back doors claim colonel gadhafi now has little other weapons left in his armory that oversees 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 operation that means for the. united states of course the only option yes really is to use so i think. it's

a clear cut in prison then today in the coming days and in the coming weeks but it's a huge backing for and rebels 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 that are. working now. that. chaos. e.u. muslims protest against nato bombing of libya the organizer says people should prepare for the worst though certainly there's a very strong likelihood. of the military. attack they will try to ensure. the invasion of iraq. in terror attacks in the e.u.

almost two hundred people died in the madrid train bombings in two thousand and four 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 increased activity among suspected terrorist cells indicating the threat of attack is why one officer told all three and you terrorist strike is now just a question of time don't you see brussels and next hour cross talk show his guest is cast how successful nato has been in libya so far. 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. have a towel on a military operation which rushes at number one

a terrorist me being killed this is just in the dark or model of what was among seventy militants who died during a raid in the country's south on monday comes from a security source of a house. security services and investigators have been cautious about announcing a confirmed death toll from the al qaeda linked terror leader model that has been announced around eight times in the past that they killed him in operations and not turned out not to be true so they're waiting on a thorough investigation is taking place in the aftermath of a major terror operation that took place on monday in the shade to in the north caucuses now once the d.n.a. testing is being carried out on those seventeen people who were killed while resisting arrest from security services in not operation once last investigation is being fully carried out then they will give an announcement whether it was among those seventeen who were killed on monday in english. this was

a huge huge operation the largest we've seen in town ten years from security services in the area that used the full force of the russian security services we saw it times from the sky using aerial bombings as well as helicopter gunships being used to suspects were arrested on the scene of a model for certainly the most wanted in the country he has links to al qaida and his his terrorist cells house carried out a slew of deadly attacks across russia and just on tuesday he was the fish really charged with the with being the most a mind 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 of the models. claimed to go terror attacks claimed

by you model this took so many lives that was the double suicide bombing on the moscow metro so a very very much public enemy number one here in the country but and it's not just inside russia's borders that he is wanted it was announced that the united states had placed him on there. and they wanted list also the united nations looking out wanting to see him being brought to justice. to japan now where the government is considering the construction of a containment shell of the damaged fukushima nuclear power plant it would be aimed at a thousand for the radiation leaks in a crisis that is still the scribes and scream for the plan would involve. down its reactors being covered with high tech. the level of radiation measured in seawater near the site is now said to be around three and a half thousand times higher than normal work has been unsuccessful trying to restore the cooling system in the vicinity and wants and now the worst atomic

crisis since. their energy expert laws upon my says there are parallels with that dissolve thirty twenty five years ago the problem for you is a very very dangerous and powerful substance even in very small quantities. of plutonium given its ingested by a human body almost certainly to the development of cancer there's no concept coach who holds who store the radioactive fuel which will be for many many thousands of years but we know from the information provided by already lost. significant amount of soaps the radio closeups. situation where we can compare our journal and. it will constantly more of release of radioactive substances plus that is that there is

a danger of the release of plutonium. nasi the next year the show has traveled through the center of the exclusion zone to find out where the nature is showing any signs of recovery there said this report from the area abandoned after a catastrophe. exactly twenty five years ago what is now an absolutely lifeless ghost town of prepared 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 people were called upon the ground or a 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 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 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 a hundred and forty micrograms per 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 mike around games 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 frantic the radiation that goes and the numbers are increasing rapidly some may say that this is very dangerous for for human health but some specialist 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 in the fallout area of many nuclear particle still remaining in this area amounts to several thousand

years only few of them actually started the fallout period twenty five years since the chernobyl accident should anything like that happen at the fukushima nuclear reactor the insider 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 alexi russian ascii art scene reporting from the chernobyl exclusion zone in ukraine you can always find that story and many more of course. when i've been wrong. still on track what's a plan to find something to ground and simple little thing in time for the twenty eighteen at wild card also police are on the prowl for a bird brained criminal the search is on for a robot plus two hundred pigeons problem on stand.

and here i think that the simple bank has already started tightening dimona creek conditions and the question is how fast that would go over the course of the year anything below ten percent would be success and eight to nine percent is probably achievable provided that the monitoring fiscal directives continue to fight in the heat of the policy stance. we think that this is possible this is within the real of possible but we also think that six or seven percent is is probably very difficult to achieve under the circumstances. let's take a look at the markets now you have stocks are trading in the black following the gains in asia the forty's up around point five percent right strong from the mining sector and the dax is up almost one point five percent. and here in russia the
