the u.s. or poles have you all for all eyes is still a operations in libya while the libyan foreign minister defected to the u.k. but neither development thinks a stunt pro could out the forces from republicans but the prevalent. cold since dave lives in the fukushima nuclear plant is radiation levels in the sea reach new high the u.n. bush's budget plan to expand the evacuation say. on russia close up travel to side periods cool step west space travelers get that welcome home from orbit join also the journey up big we.

are very warm welcome to you this is a line from the u.s. reportedly sending cia teams into libya to gather intelligence and set up links with rivals when it comes as donaldson grobe about the exact makeup of the movement colonel gadhafi pointed criticism of plans to arm them with nato officials themselves admitting they fear that al-qaeda fighters are among the rebels pulis leader has the latest from tripoli. well they have been air strikes in the east and south eastern suburbs of tripoli at a military base there while the front line seems to have been pushed it was the further back it is now not far from the town of a double which is just seventy kilometers rates of the rebel stronghold of benghazi there have been a number of coalition air strikes in and around baghdad via woods which certainly

does suggest that the coalition is afraid there could have his forces are closing in on this town and also they do not want to forward to the gadhafi forces now the true rain that will fighters are fighting on is working against him it is essentially one highway in the desert it is very hard for them to get supplies and certainly at this stage it does seem as if this coalition is strikes are making very little difference nato has taken over the full command of all military operations here but increasingly the questions being posed not only actually by the international community are that they might be liberating the rebels but this certainly is a very different somalia from the arab democratic revolutions that we saw in tunisia 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 of leadership to be quite loosely organized and by

and large not to actually know how to use the weapons if 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 have been assisting me needs to determining the strains i want to keep 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 also the international community to revisit the question of who is among the ranks on the ground gadhafi. winning the war but certainly he has been killed in a psychological blow to his foreign minister koussa has defected and he is currently in discussions with the british intelligence not koussa has been the foreign minister of this country since two thousand and nine he's headed the libyan intelligence agency for some thirteen years and opposition found him the nickname of the man of death he is gadhafi is 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 also kusa knows that has caused him to defect and just how the importance of the information he has the to the coalition partners. of the british of the forest you say libya has defected the foreign minister won't be granted any special immunity but international relations professor mark harmon says it's embarrassing for the u.k. to accept as truth is a man with a very deepest parts he was an intelligence officer in the. mars attacks and threats against you didn't exist in britain and then later on you figure in the lockerbie bombing so for one hand he has an enormous amount of knowledge about the charges against going to his regime british government raised as a reason why the british public are on the other hand he's also people doing trying

to undermine. but he also has a legacy or didn't you it goes into operations against inside libya in other words the chief of police. of the united states has a long and mixed history of supporting rebels in internal conflicts and those are you've got to turn reports helping out how the government forces can sometimes backfire. the international community of primitive intervention in libya to protect civilians from canal khadafi put 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 but broadening our military mission to include regime change would be a mistake president obama has reportedly signed a secret order authorizing covert american support for rebel forces seeking to oust the lead in 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 and iraq the same hubris that keeps us penya and 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 benoît men who renounces all kind of feeling asian in two thousand says he estimates one thousand jihadists are among the rebels in libya one lady and rebel commander has openly admitted his fighters have a 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 have 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 as of now the opposition in libya hardly has a defined face or power these people. will not be able to take control over the situation as soon as the current regime. goes both and it means that somebody else will be. tempted to take over the country and you know the villain here will organize. the world force in the region not

only country but in the region is unfortunately some say arming the rebels could backfire we've been in a situation in afghanistan one day we help people and the next day they shoot at us if we aren't cautious about military intervention could blow back or charmers john johnson wrote famously about is sure to happen in libya in afghanistan back in the eighty's the u.s. had a narrow goal to help the mujahideen 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 this kind of cia and alice is an operations chief in the 1980's says back then the us didn't see the dangers of arming afghan militants. and what we see were

tribal so. you know so. leaving. some reconstruction composed well over two decades after arming the afghan mujahedeen america is now considering giving weapons to another rebel band with an unclear identity simply because of who they're fighting against going to check out our chief washington d.c. . in the us. a former troop commander in iraq says there's no way the united states or anyone else can predict the consequences of supporting rebels in libya. 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's really corrupt and out for selfish gain and you're not going to gain that from bombing them 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

it would be 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 might evolve into from this action i think you were either all in on this spending 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 that is not the formula for success right now so it's often plank forms and general clegg's we follow. the west and we did. it seems that the oklo powers have an inability to resist

using weaponry and nail colonies the united states has a number of colonies around the world they call them under different names but the us is a cloned power and it actually treats the middle east as if it is their colonies of the united states and france and england particularly were pushing on this in france since president sarkozy has had some great intimate relations with gadhafi and his son and his son claims that he helped to finance sarkozy election president sarkozy would be very much interested in going after libya because it would be very embarrassing if something happened terribly there and french france had i think the idea however that this is a humanitarian intervention is be lied by the whole history of the u.s. france and british interventions countries don't act humanitarian. they act in their national interest what they perceive as their national. a large contribution

to our torso from the tripoli to bring you closer so what's really going on on the ground in one of her little sister when she says that some people in tripoli think that on the rebels would be the brass this is the effect on me al qaeda find us on t.v. on the school college. moving to japan now where work out the damaged fukushima plant is being hampered by the dangerously fluctuating radiation in underground facility levels in the icy water have also reached new highs it's now estimated the four and a half thousand times the normal the highest level recorded in the scene you since the beginning of the nuclear crisis experts think it may be caused by highly radioactive cooling water leaking from the plant the u.n. found contaminated soil forty kilometers from the facility in what's the twenty kilometer evacuation zone to be expanded trans government both as the findings

require no immediate action for john locke is an independent consultant says the crisis shows japan was ill prepared for an emergency like this. the 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 from earthquake food a tsunami could never happen or would happen so infrequently that they didn't have to take account of it and as a result they never practice is never rehearsed for this type of accident and we can see affectively that the japanese for the first two weeks have been running around to go in an old english phrase like headless chickens not knowing what to do the real problem is this if they take a measure like flood in and quench in the reactors with water that may well lead to serious consequences later on when they have all that accumulated water on site which is highly radioactive then they have to make

a decision of how to do with the water whether to keep it in site in bond trenches or to actually destroy logic to see with the consequences on the marine environment so whichever way they turn and they've been able prepared and they are poorly planned for the consequences of this succeed in action or the earthquake and tsunami which caused massive destruction out there also wiped out entire communities people who lost their home for living in a crowded shelters rather painful peroration continue to have found out many will still have the rest go. complaints. this is the first time many residents of ishinomaki have seen their houses since the tsunami surged through them but then most little of value remains but supper 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. shinji has been housed at a local school with several hundred others people here have been taking turns to volunteer as cooks and cleaners. but the cramped conditions mean that after nearly three weeks the communal spirit is frayne and. we are dissatisfied with your thirty's we know there are temporary houses that will be put up but who will get them some areas are being favored 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 moving 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 it their home many of the stricken japanese coastal towns rely for generations on dwindling fishing and shipping industries

livelihoods which no longer exist and there is little hope of ever getting them back sort of the details things that the government is good at solving big problems not the ones of a small people i do not think this town will ever be a rebuild 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 the relatively straightforward part in helping victims cope with the disaster making sure people have a place and a community to return to will be much more difficult. now of artsy topical japan. now some other headlines around the world this hour and syrian state media the president ordered a new committee for them to consider the removal of the country's decades long emergency rules it's been among the key to moans about government protests over the past month the move comes

a day after the president dust expectations that he would announce political reforms according to human rights groups over one hundred people have been killed in government crackdowns on protests in the last two weeks. the u.n. has introduced time sions against ivory coast and for leader including freezing his assets under a travel ban the resolution also aims to prevent long by both from using weapons against the country civilians meanwhile fighters loyal to the internationally recognized president elect. have to seize ikey port city rapidly advancing towards the commercial capital abidjan which remains under lock on the girls controlled. structure convoy northwest and pakistan of the second attempt on the life of a local islamist leader ten people died and more than twenty five others injured when a suicide bomber on a motorbike blew himself up near a car all of them

months spent in space i made stars and constellations orbiting the earth in zero gravity cosmonaut or an astronaut is no easy task. to their mission is complete and a return to earth mission for other men and women begins. obviously there is no telling where costs will live so in order to be prepared for anything it is possibly go wrong russian is the russian space agency regularly exercises just a month before its scheduled landing so think of it there for anything in fact the rescue operation kicks off even before the caps are the cosmonauts lands of noise it's one of the most exciting moments hearing in your headphones that they got us on their radar they're watching us and following us also means that all the survival practices that we heard won't be needed. though this is how it usually happens as search and rescue teams on land and know that it's better to be safe and

story. that's a bit such trains are conductors regularly with great before every window the objective is to test the condition of the equipment in the course of the preparedness of the personnel are a team has an extensive experience in this field and we're ready to work in any condition with. the process involves several teams of specially trained air force personnel from parachutists to medical staff finding the landing capsule opening it up there in 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 the months of training are needed after all there are lives at stake and one of the most important factors and weather is also one of the most unpredictable. is the hardest when helicopters can fly and with the ground s.

alone can get in because you know it's you could create them and get them to the nearest airfield we always have very little time and we must get them out as soon as possible because one of the hardly low pressure working environment but their word is priceless it's all just of i'd like to say for all cosmonauts we greatly 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 thank you engine out in scrooge and it even goes go artsy. now we travel even further we slay say on where russian culture is to clean grain which flies alaska the nation and also. it's the secret incursion into the country. is the invasion by means of. traditional language below you

this is the first deep copy. and culture. i think. that the have the germans are still unaware of what's going on in their life still asking what you. like. i don't know if alaska the great. monarchy. shortly but first they were so relaxing. hello and a very warm welcome to the business program and new regulations same to tell being russia to attract more investors have been spelled out by president submitted if he calls for reducing the influence of stage companies something investment climate to discuss this i'm joined by david dunning of client services head of client services that there was ethics management this is going thank you very much for joining us

so let me just remind you of these changes he proposed to eliminate government ministers from the board of directors of state companies also to push prices ational to state companies in the next three years and make information about these companies more open so my first question is going to be do you think that that will help. to attract for you investors to russia well i think in general right now the investment climate climate in russia is improving in the eyes of foreign investors these three initiatives that you mentioned your story are very positive very positive words but again the problem that russia has with these these kind of issues is that they need to be followed by actions i think that it's very positive to have indeed been independent directors i think it's also kind of a promotion of this initiative to increase the vote for russian russian and russian equities for foreign investors and so very first move is very supportive of this is

what we know that russia is considered to be a bit undeveloped compared to other bric countries why did she think. there aren't enough people investing in russia now but i think currently after the two thousand and eight crisis it was really hard to attract investment back to russia a lot of investors were burnt there was a lot of you know very bad stories of corporate governance and i think pick up. a couple investors into our funds. two thousand in the early two thousand and eleven and i think just just because of a couple of global things that are happening right now russia has become a place for people to reallocate their money so you definitely see that in the next coming year to two thousand level and hopefully to person twelve i think drivers going forward for russia are many there is a two thousand and fourteen olympics two thousand and eighteen world cup these are these are vents hopefully it will really change the company search change the

country and the investment appetite amongst foreign investors how important is getting the russian companies to be more transparent to thank shareholders the fact of the really tries and this is a way currently i would say transparency is huge in along with that comes corruption the corruption problem is obviously well known amongst you know all foreign investors and that's that's an issue that's going to have to be tackled i wouldn't want to have to tackle that job singlehandedly so it's probably going to take some very big initiatives in that means punishing people that have you know committed corrupt acts and basically making sure that these companies are transparent you have to get into directors in there i think that's a great initiative and but it seems to be on the right track. wrapping up well where do you see the upside in russia right now we see we see the upside in the electricity sector in russia there's

a big reform happening in the electricity sector which we are we are part of we are definitely have our experts on the ground that have been following the sector for twelve years now and we see a lot of opportunity there the companies are trading at multiples very low compared to other emerging markets for example in brazil were similar sector reform is happening and we see that we see that as one sector that we're very concentrated on and hope to make money and hopefully we'll see other investors flowing into russia . well to me that of proposals being implemented ok thank you very much that was david denning head of klein so that's very much as a management thank you for your. moving on we can have a look at the markets now and the asian markets closed in the black on signs that the club with me is recovering after japan's record earthquake nikkei gained almost top of percent on the hunt signpost up going to three percent had to work in stocks
