international news live from our studios here in central moscow this is r.t. just past eight pm here in the russian capital and seven pm in finland where a priest is charged with inciting racial hatred after speaking out against russia's number one terrorist model and his internet propaganda arm in an interview with us the pastor also claims he's been receiving constant death threats from the leader of the chechen militants however in finland the priestess seen as the real criminal and. now reports. cost so you from a liar is being prosecuted for inciting readers hatred and for publicly criticizing what the finnish authorities describe as illegally operating organizing sure that is the cop car centric russian pull the caucasus center

a lot of all the years and i don't know what the organization is all about this is a media outlets and internet websites which made it sell the name by being a multi-sport terrorist double mark this website is banned in russia as well as in a number of other countries across the world but in finland it enjoys quite a comfortable location both on the internet and in downtown houses. cortisol these organizations are in the very center of the city now you have a lottery was the bust and the only man in finland to hold police say that this was outrageous and that finland should not shoulder extremist organizing since he was not really surprised when up for a short while he was getting death threats from people members of these organizations and those letters was signed by bill kumar who saw what he wants the police police and phillis him to be a little interested in. d.c. even came from. here's the cool motto dearest. some body sent to me.

will continue my fight. you do any personal investigation you want these. british police. they are. also part of the government and. responsible person respectable person can't do anything now shut recount of these respectable person is some of us must know when atrocities are we ask express train bombing in two thousand and nine. the most commercial system in twenty town and most recently the attack on the country's largest airports the idea that the local lot of us not only russia's most wanted man he's also internationally stopped terrorist the us wasn't acknowledge that he has links to al qaida so with all doesn't mind what is the phrase indeed persecuted

for side obvious facts which the rest of the world knowledge is for calling a terrorist a terrorist but finland has a pretty points. of a reporting there still to this marketing conflict the u.s. spends millions of dollars to justify its rules are brought to the people in the those countries in the one part and snakes of tough sell also. to the international space station prepare to celebrate fifty years ago and the first flight into the event that inspired generations to reach for the stars. their story still to come first the libyan opposition claims nato has hit one of their tank positions witnesses say fifty people were killed in the strike meanwhile the rebels have sent their first crude oil shipment to qatar. has more now from the rebel controlled city of benghazi. according to some reports nato did

attack accidentally a number off with the rebel fighters and there are tanks around twenty kilometers away from the oil rich town of brega currently under control all four guys these troops and the doctors actually gobby which is a c. to the east of bragg are basically the flame of the next big city after bin guys even doctors they say they're seeing that thirteen people were killed in this attack however we do also hear these reports from the witnesses off of what happened there today earlier and they say that in fact it didn't seem like it were nato planes but it seems in fact that those is the tack was conducted by guy fee's forces and it killed not thirteen but at least forty or forty five rebels the checkpoints all through the rubble so forces so right near i'd be i would use around fifty sixty kilometers east of grego they were attacked and basically sends

the rebels running in kansas retreating once again and one of our teams was actually filming there at the time they see that they didn't hear any planes they didn't hear anything to use to seoul of a sudden various explosions going on right in their area so everybody get in there of course and to just back you wait from that place including the rebels and he would be sold the army being a back you waited buses filled with soldiers going faster than the world at the time and they say it was really chaos they actually one of the rebels actually jumped into their car just running away from this attack you know last after after one of the biggest oil deposits currently under control of god i think that came under attack earlier the duffy's accusing neato of doing the. in fact the alliance says that it was got these jobs everybody here is now saying that nato is

not doing enough i think that you know it's complying with the obligations of the resolution of the united nations to protect civilians and some people including those of the interim government they even say that perhaps they should ask the united nations just to stop this operation altogether and we talked to some of the locals and the rebels and prepared this report. libyan army moved any service all the way to retirement but now he's fighting for the revolution and he's among the few rebels at the front with military training and experience in the. air forces who are not even we are ready to fight to the test but with these weapons we don't stand a chance against gadhafi since need to control the north wind zone operation and screens that need more than one thousand sorties. including four hundred and technicians the u.n.

screens around the third of their peace forces have now been destroyed despite the help from the skerries on the ground the rebels are still taking a pounding the foot is a greater israel there are civilians in misrata we daily hear green monitors and yes they're building taking proper actions to give the good night for the troops for the rebels taking the town of braggin means clearing the way west just wanted seen they were at the doors of people reached down a new series of banks by going after these forces he wanted to retreat. just a week ago because he was a revolution the military seems the entire cd police need to for its support but before i think it seems to me that the list goes beyond me. this can be the it seems to reach a medieval cult called the uighurs has been tactics is rising as well although it's

way this one are becoming empowerment seen me using media all feeling to protect civilians they are asking for help and more be demanding it. well on their way to full for gadhafi to secure still we demand a new u.n. resolution which would allow us. but experts say arming the rebels alone wouldn't help so when war with the rebels need not so much arms they can use arms without training anything before it's gone now servicing the u.s. and egypt are called retreat and even if you force is going beyond the mandate of u.n. resolution that is due north winds are going to spin off on the. movie. as the u.s. and nato are in brawls in conflicts around the world there's another campaign going on alongside with millions of american taxpayers' dollars pouring into it but his

loyalists or explores the information war being waged on local populations. the reality of. war is hell and that's why you only go to war when it's an absolute interest to your national security it's one reason why i coalition forces do that old with an information war to fight alongside the real one playing out on the ground in afghanistan for example so it's not widely known by these milestones the longest war in american history we have surpassed the soviet campaign there we have spent sectional amount of money but instead carries this message to morning afghanistan welcome to the new day of hope and reconstruction in the war torn region which accommodates conflict peaks that's the nato version told in this promotional film it was given to international journalists like myself at the annual nato summit presumably to spread the message public relations after it's

like these are nothing new and commander of the nato forces the united states spends billions of dollars alone to market its version of the war to the world including p.r. at home and abroad u.s. funded media as well as psychological operations for example a leaked classified cia document revealed a plan for our lights a quote strategic communication program across nato troop contributors that could provide a buffer if out at the becomes opposition to fight declining public support for the war from france and germany the cia tapped afghan women as the perfect messenger to make an emotional appeal about the taliban and professed their aspirations for the future as this woman does here still. some media picked up on this message to hear time magazine equates pulling out u.s. troops from afghanistan with brutality against women however if you remember about

this poor girl this happened while he was trooper there. and it's not clear efforts . this even work it's absolutely impossible to tell but i would be willing to just go out. it's very ineffective i mean while hillary clinton says the u.s. is losing when it comes to broadcasting its message abroad on state t.v. station three unfortunately we are paying a big price for it even though the us is spent one billion dollars alone to broadcast its message to the arab world where it's at war through the state news network. the network has locked in just half a percent of you worship i think they know where all showing perhaps you can't sell old war welcome to the new game unless you have a buyer lauren mr r.t. . and you push through always catch the latest stories in the best videos on our website that's our dot com we've also got all the in-depth analysis updated around

the clock there for you so let's have a quick look at some of our stories online right now if you should log on going beyond the call of duty a russian policeman who dug up a body in a symmetry and brought it to his office off the suspect and fell play has found himself in deep trouble. and we take you to the heart of russia's nuclear might have been screeching the shuttle to foreigners for decades is now open to everyone and there's no shortage of sites for the curious tourist that's probably more what our web site at r.t. dot com. portugal has announced that it's unable to deal with its economic crisis and has asked for help the eurozone is now set to cough up for a third successive bail package which is set to exceed one hundred billion dollars

well i'm now joined live by michael rossi's in frankfurt the market analyst and author for an. i look at the words of the single currency brought thanks so much for joining us in germany now it's been evident for months that portugal wouldn't be able to meet its debt payment obligations so why is this cry for help come so late as many would ask. it's not that it was not foreseeable what was happening here and as a matter of fact this was already programmed right with the introduction of the euro the only reason i can find prolong it a little bit. portugal was crying for is to keep up the illusion that the euro was working but as a matter of fact it doesn't. work on the billion euros that portugal needed and the question that remains of course is where this money come from in europe there is nobody who are safe one hundred pocket and is not able to spend it so we have to

help to go by the heart of new credit and there is already be criticism how long this can go on and of course here in germany also more people have question marks about what is going on there an indication that here is in trouble is of course spain there's a lot of talk that spain could be next what would actually happen and if we did see spain collapse in effect which is what europe's fourth largest economy what effect would that have on the eurozone. i don't see how they can prevent this in the future spain is certainly not before this is discussed in the financial community already at the moment of course the interest rates for ten years in bonds are not as high as those of portugal ireland or even greece but obviously only a matter of time and if spain is to obviously failing and helping is also asking

for help from the community this will possibly be a big problem for the eurozone on the other hand what the markets want to see of course is that the weak partners of the eurozone and the strong partners of the eurozone are merging together they are calling this the transfer union which is heavily discussed here in germany nobody wants to transfer the union but at the end of the day it will be introduced like the euro itself because the euro cannot survive without this transfer union on the other hand of course the transfer union means their wealth is the product from the witcher countries to the poorer countries and of course the question remains how can you help those countries if they cannot help themselves we have a so-called capitalistic system we have so-called free markets that means that also bankruptcy must be a lot not only for big banks and small bones but also for countries as long as the system is not working like this as long as you don't allow bankruptcy is the whole

system is built somehow and has no chance of survival so many people say this is also a big question about always dollars bailing nor but everybody knows there you can't bail out forever at one time everybody will be bankrupt and germany only can help for a limited time we also see that interest rates for ten year bonds in germany have already risen since september last year almost eighty percent when. we have to present to. the ten year bonds in germany is about three point five percent also germany has not enough means all right. germany is a success story at the moment you're there at the moment and you are talking about the stronger economies being asked to bail out the weaker ones do you think germany would actually like to see itself extricated from the eurozone could this be the start of the end of the eurozone do you think. if germany does pull out this is the

end of the euro but here are some experts in german who said this is the only way how it can work because if germany is pulling out the debts of the other ones in the remaining eurozone then it will be devalue it and this is what they really need need evaluated debt or haircuts but on the other we're on the other hand you have of course the political will you have a grassroots for example you have the e.u. doesn't want this because the euro feel fails. rule lee's rules its power and this of course they want to prohibit and not to be happen at any cost and we will see how long this will last year some people who are telling me they're. the euro might be gone might be going on for one or two years it all depends of course if spain's become spain becomes ill but as we see it it's only a matter of time and then we will see how fast this quit it was earth being because

then we are the half a billion euro that nobody can pay for it like a very interesting talking to thanks for joining us live there in frankfurt michael ross market analyst and author thank you. what a powerful seven point four magnitude earthquake has struck off the coast of japan tsunami warning was issued which was later lifted residents of the northeast of the country were told to evacuate to higher ground well for more on this has now crossed live to dr tim wright is a great expert of the u.k.'s university of leeds thanks for joining us well we haven't been getting any reports of any civilian casualties yet or how damaging the earthquake was we do know the tsunami warning has been lifted but could there have been a lot of destruction already on those ravaged coastal areas and could there still be even though that warning is being lifted. think it's not likely to be a big cigar you know in this way it's a lot smaller smoking. compared to my refuted nine by the mosque

a lack of discipline to contact staff. sometimes last i heard he was released about it but. it's a powerful earthquake american spec that might make some damage localized but if it's over there and shake it off by the previous year like that i wouldn't expect to see anybody leave. so no impact at all of. the obviously the stricken nuclear power plant there you don't think there's any extra danger any extra risk there at the moment. it's unlikely obviously any building here with a shake it could potentially cause more damage so i wouldn't like to live out there it's unlikely to cause a major crisis very very fine if not gas related why is it that these aftershocks continue thought seems quite alone so i many people expect aftershocks to happen in a short period after the main quake is this the sort of plant you were expecting.

so you're really losing your little bit but we what we expect with our show and show and even for many months sometimes years but here you are right but the rights of sharks carries with time so we can't marry money off the shelves and you guys if you're forty. and now but it's time we're a month brown went down that you were free day so we do expect to be officers and so you. all for many years to go but even that we hope to show up which we just heard about now that is actually being strong enough to knock out power for several reactors at another nuclear plant that's using emergency plies at the moment so surely these aftershocks are still posing a threat to other nuclear power stations there in japan. i mean absolutely but i think most of the nuclear power stations they get are quite well so we could show you and they have been pulled down because of the shape it was really damaged by

the tsunami super going to be another big tsunami my my my instinct is probably the other you know the nuclear power station respond very. well so as long as there's something predicting strong off the show some of the quake and certainly those predictions seem to be coming true. do you think there's no whole country can do to prepare for this sort of situation obviously this is a devastating position for japan but is it any way that the country can prepare for this other any new warning signs or anything that could help a country in the future that could be learned from what's happened there in japan. but i think the big lesson that we missed. yeah the two lessons really one one is that actually they are great with the. scientists good scientists or maybe and you think there is anything in the last four or five years that people have started to speculate that we could have a very large earth but it's not like eighty or so the infrastructure of those who

built it perhaps or you know why not be afraid be so but i think the other less than eventually it probably is not the one of the past but i think in the world war . rights are very. very severe a lot he would tear from this even though it's a very credible threat but of course the security if it's just a signature part of this not just quite a lead on the land mass but that you have an earthquake out at sea that obviously caused the extra risk of a tsunami which is a different matter in some ways just briefly. here we are saluting the tsunami wave of this market you are extremely critical so you could do you much cheaper other than to make sure you go. ok talk to tim right earthquake expert joining us live from the university of leeds in the u.k. thank you for being with us. story beyond earth russia's soyuz spacecraft a success successfully i should say docked the international space station two

russians and an american will spend five months there bringing the total i assess crew to six the flight was dedicated to the first man in space it took place just a week before the fiftieth anniversary of his legendary voyage and was just in the reports even today the party's legacy is inspiring new generations to follow their dreams. after all spend most of their lives preparing for the possibility of going to space now roughened calls on our program for takes about two hundred. we're and that's one of the physical training we have to go through all the hard men and women put into their professions one of the things they fear is a little more about it and that's an unwavering a childhood dream of literally reach for something big aspiring cosmonauts. watches intently as a so you see i'm a twenty one spacecraft is due to its vertical position at only fourteen he's so certain about his future but he's already made headway and went to the u.s.

and became the first youngster to spend fifteen minutes floating in the zero gravity environment hostile not strain and. i took the weight of my body as if i was drawing treats i could hug my hands this early start is something the first man in space you regarding could himself have related to and his feet fifty years ago marked the beginning of a long list of achievements in manned space exploration. for walking on the route. to building the massive international space station. but it doesn't start there next possibly a hotel in orbit yet another space dream which that if for this hotel project there will be four rooms at the station with enough room for seven people there will be two big aluminum so that everyone can observe the earth and stars i've always

wanted to become a cosmonaut that didn't happen but now i'm sure that one day i'll travel to space a tourist price tag is a hefty thirty five to forty billion dollars but there is a cheaper alternative another project aims to send space tourists to lower earth orbit where they'll spend five minutes in zero gravity and see the planet in its entirety for two hundred thousand dollars. to some large groups of people to around one hundred kilometers above ground they will be able to seal planets and the coarseness with their own eyes to do this they plan to use the ability of this plane to carry cargo on its body the plane will take off with a small space shuttle which will be released at a certain altitude but arguably the most a vicious of space projects is the mars five hundred experiment simulating a voyage to the red planet in the event this global ambition becomes reality and when that time comes young sergei is certain he'll be ready to take on the

challenge not mars i want to be the first to travel to mars and to other planets as well as the means of jupiter saturn b.c. you can leave there in future. and like many space men and women he believes it will only be a matter of time that's our silly r.t. baikonur in kazakhstan. well that's the news update for this hour now it's time for the latest on all the business with dmitri stay with us live here in moscow. welcome to the program russian equities sold off sharply in the last five minutes of trade on news that the seven point one earthquake in northeast japan there's little information on the extent of the damage but the stricken nuclear power plant in fukushima reports no signs of new problems after the shock that's according to tepco the operation company take a look at the market reaction in more detail this is what the closing picture for the r.t.s. and i say so looks like there was

a last minute selloff which caused the bourses to lose one percent driven mostly by energy stocks. now and stocks look or was selling one point six percent on profit taking over by ross one point two percent steelmaker m.k. was down one and a half percent after its last year's net profits also missed expectations banking stores were also down wall street did indeed slip into the red on the news from japan the dow began the session up half a point after some encouraging jobs data tech shares are doing well however well retailers are shrugging so basically everyone is expecting information as to the extent of the damage european markets are still fairing in the red they've gone deeper down into negative territory for the sea and down half a percent may lose their basic materials and oil and gas stocks. interest rates in the euro zone have gone up for the first time in three years the european central bank raised its key rate twenty five basis points to one point two five percent the

move is likely to put more pressure on single currency nations struggling to pay their debts among them portugal which has finally asked for a bailout from the e.u. that may amount to seventy five billion euros. when you've got countries that are all here into all trying to adhere to or stare as the package using increased taxes and reduced public spending when you try and impose increase interest rates on them as well that's just another factor that's going to hurt them as well so i don't think they're totally ready for it but there doesn't seem to be any true choice of the moment and certainly the sci fi not factoring that into account when their window of raising interest rates. low whether from ethiopia capitol hill is next with. twenty years ago or just country. this.
