joy just watches a. creature. russia lives up on. the . internet via code after cases reversed the advance of rebel fighters prodding it strikes while in the international community it is now talk of arming the rebels but some are warning that this will be in breach of the u.n. resolution. the fears over terrorist backlash in europe with the alarm sounded over a possible plot by libyan islam is the revenge for the bombing raids. being cancer rates of israeli businessman who's a found that prison is the only pay for arms from the georgian government schools for foreign investment. and some new faces in california's silicon valley and they

are russian some of the biggest russian companies have opened their offices in the heart of the high tech rack up more in business in twenty minutes. this is aussie live from moscow with me alice habit when we start in libya where pro-government push rebel forces now just several recently captured territories a direct heavy counter offensive this comes as native countries including the u.s. and france are suggesting they could be open to arming the rebels but criticism that this would go beyond the terms of the u.n. resolution the policy has more from tripoli. global fighters have now been pushed back to the city of ras lanuf we are hearing that this is strategically important oil city as the only in the hands of the duffys men now there are

numerous reasons being bandied about as to why the rebels are being forced to retreat and retreat so quickly part of that is because gadhafi forces are simply based organize they better trained or they have bits of leadership and this is posing some real dilemmas to the international community in terms of what it should do next when it's becoming increasingly clear that these airstrikes are not that successful while the government here in tripoli is insisting as it has done since these coalition air strikes began that the number of civilians continues to climb and that it hovers some way more than one hundred now we do know that they were secondary explosions because in the town of ms-dos which is about two hundred kilometers to the south of tripoli they were close at an ammunitions dump that was hit in those coalition air strikes we were in there was a group of foreign journalists and we saw damage to the hospital as well as to several phones in residential areas the moves of some of the wards in the hospital had been broken in we also saw some beds where there was blood stains and did we

now the patients were evacuated in time but we heard from the hospital spot that some thirteen people wounded we also met and we were very a number of us to stop bangladeshi and also for peavy and they as you can well imagine are very anxious and very scared and very desperate to get out of here with prime minister david cameron says that he has not ruled out arming the rebels and this of course is the concern that's been expressed by critics in the international community and serve me here in tripoli since that u.n. resolution one ninety seven three was approved there is the cause that talks about this very measures and this is open to interpretation of what we think of the british is that its workers are needed to protect civilian lives when they can justify the use of weapons real securing the similar kind of line coming out of the obama administration where they're saying that they could allow for the supply of them. weapons and that they are looking at all options on the table now if indeed there is going to be the supply of weapons to the rebel fighters this poses a whole host of the members and

a whole host of very critical questions number one people do not know who the rebels are there are those amongst the ranks with outcry the leanings extremist leanings movies weapons land up in the hands and indeed if they do what does that mean there's also the very real possibility that the weapons put them up in the hands of gadhafi soldiers and then even more than that if you're going to have to hand over weapons to fighters on the ground who are going to need to give them some kind of practical assistance and training which begs the next concern particularly here in tripoli and that is the question of whether or not the international community is preparing the ground to send ground forces here now the russian foreign minister sergei lavrov has reiterated just how critical and just how important is tomorrow all of this paves should christopher we've all heard the statements that he's only billed as the operation is to protect civilians as according to the u.n. resolution we also heard the coalition wouldn't side with anyone in the conflict at the same time schrans has recently stated it's ready to supply the libyan rebels

with weapons the nato secretary general has immediately objectives saying the operation is to protect the circulations not amish and we feel you agree with his positions russia's ambassador to nato has one but when you talk about an arms embargo it needs to be applied across the whole field in other words it needs to be applied both to the rebels as well as to gadhafi support base now another question that is also alarming people here in tripoli is the whole question of whether or not the international community intends to target gadhafi certainly here when we hear statements from the british government as well as other european powers saying that they do not intend to target him here is not the target the same and the mood here in tripoli as a people here do not believe that. the losses you could have just an office in the major rebel stronghold of being done as the reports the people there remain defiant despite the latest defeats. 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 here but i 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 to fight until the end either until very dawn or until god duffy's on the purely 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 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 wall 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 currently on hold here in the country because of the unrest many foreign companies international companies suspending their operations here and we're actually hearing that the only refinery working currently in the country is in the town of tobruk this may be enough to supply the the rebels with the gasoline and the world but it's truly not enough for an exploding or a broad. well as the allied forces push for more military action in libya experts on arab affairs one of the intervention may seem backfire on europe the fear is that libyan islamic groups are plotting a terrorist attack in britain in revenge for allied airstrikes ask donald question explains. e.u. countries have taken

a leading role in forcing the un resolution but their efforts all the way over in libya now threaten to bring conflicts right to their very own back doors a list claim colonel gadhafi now has little other weapons left in his armory an overseas terror he's faced repeated accusations that he ordered look at the 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 france. of course the only option yes really is to use terror so i think. it's a clear cut in prison bindra today in the coming days maybe in the coming weeks but e.u. backing for and to get a few rebels could backfire further rebel leaders include the libyan islamic fighting group and associates of al qaida and the casualties mounting every day

from bombing make fertile recruiting ground for and she western forces there are agents of a bad guy working now. in that atmosphere of scales. i am sure. e.u. muslims protest against nato bombing of libya the organizer says people should prepare for the worst. there's a very strong likelihood but i think what would be. the most the track they will fight is. the invasion of iraq lived 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 you terrorists strike is now just a question of time. brussels. around two hours time and ask the people of cross talk panel questions whether nato really knows which direction it's heading in libya. this ambiguity make it this mission creep even worse because we don't even really know what we want actually a friend of mine who is not an international ation specialist recently sold me he said well that as far as i can see it. 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. working to establish whether russia has no strong was killed in a special anti terror crackdown security services suggest the model could have been among seventeen militants who died during

a raid in the country's south on monday the has more. security services and investigators have been cautious about announcing a confirmed death toll for the al qaeda linked terror leader who model has been announced around eight times in the past that they killed him in operations and not stand out not to be true so they're waiting on the thorough investigation is taking place in the aftermath of a major 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 as well resisting arrest from security says is it not operation won't last investigation is being fully carried out then they will give an announcement whether doku umarov 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 around ten years from security

services in the area they used the full force of the russian security services we saw a tax from the sky using aerial bombings as well as helicopter gunships being used to suspects were arrested on the scene model certainly the most wanted in the country he has links to al qaida and his his terror cells have carried out a slew of deadly attacks across russia and just on tuesday he was the fish really charged with being the most the minds behind the january suicide attack on the head of the airport here in moscow now called course tuesday of course of which well was the anniversary the one year anniversary of another cold the models they say claimed to go play terror attacks claimed by your model it's 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 their. on their wanted list also the united nations looking out wanting to see him being brought to justice. still to come this hour here on r.t. facing and jail time the tangling with the. tour just spend millions trying to get the world to know it on a mission to cut corruption but why ban is ronnie folks an israeli businessman who george zero is almost one hundred million dollars in fitting in jail for almost six months with no bare. risks of pushing your wealth into georgia that story just ahead. as constance japan now why radiation levels in the sea water in the focus she will plan to continue to rise right now more than three and a half thousand times higher than normal radioactive material has also been

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 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 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 people right now and my radiation meter shows the level of around

a hundred and forty my corona inspire our 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 prepared radiation levels go much much higher this is now around three hundred and twenty michael wrong hands 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 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 frantic the radiation meter goes and the numbers are increasing rapidly some may say that this is very dangerous for for human health. 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 the fall out period twenty five 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 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 r.t. reporting from the chernobyl exclusion zone in ukraine. turning some other world news in this hour flash floods have swept through eight provinces supper time killing at least twenty one and even more than three hundred missing the trains council than three airports shut over seven hundred thousand people have been
