a military base there while the front line seems to have been pushed ever so further back it is now not far from the town of ajdabiya which is just seventy kilometers weights of the rebel stronghold of benghazi there have been a number of coalition air strikes in and around darby i would switch thirty dozen jets where the coalition is afraid that gadhafi forces are closing in on this town and also they can often find a job or two for gadhafi forces now the terrain that a group of fighters are fighting on is working against them it is essentially one highway image is that it is very hard for them to get supplies and serviette this stage it does seem as if those coalition in strikes are making very little difference on the ground gadhafi is winning the war but certainly he has been dealt a psychological blow to his foreign minister recep koussa has defected and he's currently in discussions with the british intelligence not koussa has been the foreign minister of this country since two thousand and nine he headed the libyan intelligence agency for some fifteen years an acquisition and him the nickname of

the man of the day he is he's a white haired man he is trusted by gadhafi but he certainly has been described as a shrewd operator by the international community so many here are asking what is it exactly that mr newsome koussa knows that has caused him to defect and just how important the information he has to the coalition partners nato has taken over the full command of all military operations here but increasingly the questions being posed not only partly by the audience in actual communities are that they might be liberating the rebels but this certainly is a very different an aria from the arab democratic revolutions that we saw in true and egypt where the big question on everyone's mind here is the whole question of weapons this is a concern to tripoli has had from the beginning and it is a legal question whether or not that united nations resolution nine hundred seventy three actually allows for the arming of the rebel fighters the rebels. themselves have shown themselves to lack good leadership to be quite loosely organized and by

large not to actually know how to use the weapons i think you have now we understand that about two to three weeks ago the american president barack obama reportedly signed a secret order that's all the deployment of cia agents to this country we understand that they have been making contact with the opposition fighters they've been assessing their needs determining restrains ironically though what tripoli is saying is that it might be a good thing that the discussion is now on the international table on the international agenda in terms of arming the rebels because it is forcing the international community to revisit the question of who is among the ranks at the same time it is questioning the whole of just in the sea of this operation as my colleague explored further. the your international community permitted intervention in libya to protect civilians from colonel gadhafi in washington wants to go further than that and is considering arming the rebels while officially denying that toppling khadafi is the objective of its involvement in libya broadening our

military mission to include regime change would be like president obama has reportedly signed a secret order authorizing covert american support for rebel forces seeking to oust the lead young leader critics of the u.s. taking sides in a civil war war of the consequences we help accelerate the chaos. and in creating more chaos we're to we think somehow we're going to be able to direct the outcome it's the same hubris that has visited the united states in iraq the same hubris kid shows tenure in afghanistan causes us to believe that somehow we are going to wreck events and the outcome in libya we cannot do that nor do we have the right to determine who the leader of libya should be many fear radical forces could take advantage of the chaos in libya former jihadists know my banishment who renounces all kind affiliation in two thousand

says he has two mates one thousand jihadists are among the rebels in libya one t.v. and rebel commander has openly admitted his fighters have all the links other reports say terrorists seized libyan surface to air missiles when arsenals were looted nato intelligence reports claim flickers of al qaida and hezbollah has been found among the rebels in libya but maintained there is no reason to believe their presence is significant but a u.s. military study three years ago said lidia's made up the second largest group of jihadists in the world right after saudi arabia all of that seems to be discarded as the u.s. is trying to prop up the opposition in libya as some analysts say in an attempt to forge a relationship with them that would be favorable for the united states in the future but experts say arming the rebels could backfire we've been in this situation in afghanistan one day we help people and the next day they shoot at us in afghanistan

back in the eighty's the u.s. had a narrow goal to help them fight soviet troops subsequently the same militants turned their weapons and training against the u.s. . among those of them was osama bin ladin whose group eventual evolved into al qaida. and what we've seen were a tribal society. you know interests. and leading to. some construction of. over two decades after arming the afghan mujahedeen america is now considering giving weapons to another rebel band with an unclear right entity simply because of who they're fighting against ghana check out r t washington d.c. . on a thin that will find a form which interact says there's no way the united states or anyone else can predict the consequences of supporting rebels and. there's going to be a period of time really trying to figure out you know who's in charge who's really

genuine who's really interested in the goals of the future of libya and then who is really corrupt and out for selfish gain and you're not going to gain that from bombing them from twenty thousand feet above the air or less you're going to only gain that from from boots on the ground the american people are not stupid and i think if you just really it would be really good for for our government and our leaders to just come out and say we want the leader of libya out of power whether he's captured whether he's killed whether he's sent into exile but that's really what we want we want regime change and we're entering a revolution that we know very little about and we don't know and be careful what comes out on the other end and be prepared to take the secular tyranny or the religious tyranny that night of all into from this action i think your worries are all in on this thing and we're going to do it right or we're looking at another eight to ten year escapade as what we've done in the other countries and now that

is not the formula for success right now. by and intelligence agencies were operating in libya long before the latest crisis without building cannot own and he was everything perfect and in fast and relations well kept univac the base impacting the americans and the british have had an intelligent person with me before there are various lamas items we are now fighting against gadhafi who was termed just the government secret service as i the british and americans to work with it was a nation in the one called the quilliam foundation that's in a sense organized as well so he was spokesman for the and i have friendships when he was crucified back to the time when he served up so the americans are with the british now recognizing that there isn't enough local calls close circuit or most of course is one of the most recent where we've had the whole minister of the interior we have an instruction steps and we also have a lot of exiles in britain who have close contacts with a libyan intelligence chief who was not effectively sucrose and so i think we see

that was also a kind of intelligence uprising going on as well as a popular uprising. still to come on the program the latest in our russia close some theory. that where cars will live in the here in this. process is just a regular exercise just a. scheduled lift to. take a look at how the earth prepares to greet explorers returning from all beds. in japan the operation to make it stricken a few kashima nuclear power plants safe has been delayed trying to cover the damaged reactors with a high tech resin designed to try and hard to read further radiation and rain is hampering their efforts the level of radiation is. a half thousand times higher

than normal the government says it's not considering an expansion of the twenty kilometer exclusion zone around the site despite the un's discovery of contaminated soil forty kilometers away japan's prime minister now says the plant commissioned following the damage done by the devastating earthquake and tsunami three weeks ago . an independent consultant says the crisis shows japan was ill prepared for such an emergency. problem is really the fundamental nuclear safety culture in japan and generally in the rest of the developed world is flawed what happened here is that the japanese considered this cascade. of tsunami could never happen or would happen so infrequently but they didn't have to take account of it and as a result they never practice is never rehearsed for this crop of accident and we can see affectively that the japanese for the first two weeks have been running around to corner an old english rose like headless chickens not knowing what to do

the real problem is this if they take a measure like bloody and quench in the real. as with water that may well lead to serious consequences later on when they have all that accumulated water inside which is highly radioactive then they have to make a decision of how to deal with the water when to keep it in site in bun trenches or to actually discharge it to sea with the consequences on the marine environment so whichever way they turn they've been ill prepared and they poorly planned for the consequences of this succeed in action. now the earthquake and tsunami which cause massive destruction advocacy more also wipes out in communities people who lost their homes and living in overcrowded shelters while the cleanup operation goes on and even after bouts finished many before had nowhere to go. this is the first time many residents of issue no marquis have seen their houses

since the tsunami surged through them but in most a little of value remains but supple shinji is not trying to salvage material possessions. my house was totally destroyed and my husband died in the tsunami now i'm honoring him by getting his personal things out i just wish everything could go back to how it was. has been housed at a local school with several hundred others people here have been taken turns to volunteer as cooks and cleaners. but the cramped conditions mean that after nearly three weeks the communal spirit is framed and. we are dissatisfied with your fortunes we know there are temporary houses that will be put up but you will get them some areas are being faded over others. the government admits that not a single temporary house has been constructed so far but even when they do finally go up they won't solve the far greater problem. the government excavators are

removing the rubble as fast as they can but all the victims of the disaster even those lucky enough to get the temporary housing it will be years before they can come here rebuild their house and call of their home many of the stricken japanese coastal towns will live for generations on doing going fishing and shipping industries livelihoods which no longer exist and there is little hope of ever getting them back sort of out of. the government is good at solving big problems not the ones of a small people i do not think this town will ever be rebuilt. as it was even if i restore what i have no one will build anything next to my house. but the government providing food and temporary shelter was a relatively straightforward part in helping victims cope with the disaster making sure people have a place and a community to return to do much more difficult. now of. japan. coming up in about fifteen minutes.

pick apart the latest headlines. we see that the average american lost twenty three percent of their net wealth forbes wealthiest list reflects changes in global economy and the wealth of the world's billionaires was up twenty five percent in the same time that the wealth of the american population was down twenty three percent yes yes it's a kleptocracy this is normally capitalism is about risk or you or risk reward winners or losers like this you say this is this is what f.d.r. guaranteed during the depression when he brought in the f.c.c. and f.b.i. seeing all the reforms like plastic but the last five years thanks to j.p. morgan goldman sachs we have something like this we call your money.

it's a small international headlines this hour twelve men killed until we did a brood side bomb in northwestern pakistan it's always a convoy carrying a prominent islam and supplements and should just solder is the words be the second attack on the same politician in the last two days here again a skate on hartley's truck and several shots were destroyed at the blogs. the un security council has voted unanimously for an immediate end to violence in the ivory coast sanctions will be imposed on combat pows in law by bo and his inner circle the council agreed un peacekeepers should be able to use all means necessary to protect civilians the vote comes the supporters of the internationally recognized president al assad tyler seize control of the administrative capital as well as ivory coast second largest groups. police in syria have reportedly opened

astronauts is one of the designated space capsule landing zones special recovery teams are always ready to track and retrieve them just minutes after they lack the presence of the negatives school reports don't quite as easy as it sounds. months spent in space i mean stars and constellations orbiting the earth in zero gravity being a cosmos or nostrum is no easy task. but after their mission is complete and they return to earth mission for other men and women begins. obviously there is no telling exactly where cars will land so in order to be prepared for anything this is possibly go wrong russian navy and russian space agency regularly exercises just a month before its scheduled landing so think of it is fair for anything in fact the rescue operation kicks off even before the capsule cosmonauts lands of noise so

it's one of the most exciting moments hearing in your headphones that they goes on their radar they're watching us and following us also means that all the survival practices that we had will be needed. but though this is how it usually happens the search and rescue teams on land know that it's better to be safe than sorry. such trains are conductors regular right before every wednesday the objective is to test the condition of the equipment in the course of the preparedness of the personnel or team has an extensive experience in this field and we are ready to work in any condition. the process involves several teams of specially trained air force personnel from parachutists to medical staff finding the landing capsule opening it up letting the cosmos out into the open back on terra firma of course during the training one of the rescuers acts as a stand in for the cosmonauts the whole process normally takes twenty five to

thirty minutes but in order to achieve such speed months of training are needed after all there are lives at stake and one of the most important factors the weather is also one of the most unpredictable. is the hardest when helicopters can't fly and all of the ground can get to the cosmonauts you know create them to the nearest airfield we always have nearly a full time and we must get them out as soon as possible. hardly a low pressure working environment but the word is priceless it's just of my i'd like to say for all cosmonauts we respect you guys and really love us and i hope that all knowledge and lifesaving skills that you have will never be needed by you or us. and you know. artsy. nicknames a box of ice in even a polar bag but in the language of its indigenous people
