one hundred meters from the republican palace where lots of state ceremonies take place and from the central square of means an hour after the after these last president alexander lukashenko stuff that's a terrorist attack was the made version being considered he also said that he would turn to russia for a helping hand with all that russia has a huge experience in dealing with the after months of similar tragedies apart from russia israel and the u.k. will be also assisting belarus in investigating into the causes of this bombing well it's the first blast to hit the news camacho and it's also the first fatal terrorist attack in the country's more than history. this is are just ahead this hour for you japan on high alert so neither country is the severity rating of each new place price is the highest level pulling the emergency on par with a train over disaster pavelec story. well three

experts are accusing coalition forces in libya of using depleted uranium in their airstrikes the deadly sosa's can cause cancer and physical mutations and those who come to close contact with the crows are surfacing as the ongoing nato led campaign is being stepped up with no clear end in sight he's going to investigate you know as well you might find some of the images coming up in this report. these leave young men cheer on top of a tank hit by coalition forces unaware of the silent killer they could be breathing in as they celebrate though the western coalition denies using depleted uranium in bombings in the country others say there is a good chance weapons with the highly poisonous radioactive element have been used that kind of damage that there's a really good chance it was a dream you around i'm about in the ninety percent sure that was do you know that

you just only was on it was getting rolled already as an exposure see who were of all the wind blowing. that means the particles are in the air. so all these people with cars you. know lisa styria served in the u.s. military during the first gulf war in the early ninety nine clearing up battlefields in kuwait back then the u.s. dropped more than three hundred fifty tons of depleted uranium over kuwait and iraq pictures of bombings from libya seen all too familiar see how those tensions are red that. see how it shoots out instead of a cold street and you get a flare at the bottom that's a new explosion depleted uranium in military terms is highly efficient relatively cheap and powerful enough to kind of trade the heaviest armor nato flatly denies

its use in libya even though the u.n. human rights commission has called for a ban countries who refused to sign up include the u.s. the u.k. france and this will the smallest particles of uranium nano particles are the most dangerous ones inhale they get into the blood until spreading to any organ including the heart brain liver also particles penetrate your cell issue this is when you get all kinds of kinetic we patients and people in iraq for example breathing that contaminated air every day and experts say there's no way to fight it in fallujah in iraq where the u.s. dropped thousands of depleted uranium rounds after the two thousand and three invasion a quarter of all babies are born with a range of horrendous ever normality higher rates of cancer leukemia and infant mortality of being found here then after the it tomic bombs were dropped on hiroshima and nagasaki the u.s. and the british military admitted widespread use of depleted uranium in bombing

bosnia in one thousand nine hundred ninety five for a legacy felt today with cancer and leukemia rates several times higher than normal toward medical confirmation all around pollute. iraq the health effects of the radio there we see it throughout iraq or saudi arabia kuwait afghanistan somalia the balkans. again now we're seeing the movement into libya dr dr hakim was a leading specialist in the cleanup after the gulf war says there is no way of actually decontaminating affected areas but i was given a written memorandum to lie about the health and environmental protection re-emission he in south was exposed to depleted uranium almost all of the members of his team are now dead some here that the suffering of those bombed in areas where there will be no western troops will go unnoticed and i think happens in remote villages in libya expecting this. and.

everybody's. nations and so forth i don't think anyone depleted uranium has a half life of four and a house billions of years hence it's description by some as the silent killer that will never stop killing. our t. washington d.c. next member states in the e.u. a locked in a battle over how to deal with the deluge of north african migrants seeking refuge in europe it's a result of lampedusa has been inundated with tens of thousands of chinese ians and libyans following uprisings in their homeland the door monday germany no said it will not take on the migrant burden criticising drugs decision one hundred six month residence permits to refugees from war on europe's role in the crisis has crossed local brussels would join them but then it hit me pretty good mr smith punched me with a service messersmith italian prime minister silvio berlusconi's describe the

migrant crisis as a human tsunami as me just how serious is the situation as you see it and it's only . well of course it's a critical situation but i think it's a common european obligation to try to limit the amount of people who who come to europe through to this cause first of all we need to help people in their own neighborhood in their own countries by building a camp so that they don't feel the need to take up this very often hopeless chance to cross the mediterranean and secondly we need to be very clear that those who come here are not all branded permission to be in easily or europe but we have the strictest definition of the conventional frontin negress ever possible so that we don't create any further incident but for these people to come to europe but encourage them to stay in their own countries well what you're saying sounds great in theory but when's it going to happen these people. you know as we speak daily. well the major problem we're facing right now is that we once again see the

dramatic consequences of bad legislation from the european union we have let down the wall of control in among the countries which means that people who have a legal permission to stay in italy can actually practically move to any other european country and on the other hand we have very different takes system which work to protect our borders against illegal migration but it doesn't work because once again the european union's authorities fail in this matter so what we need to do is that we need to strengthen the front six system so that it actually prevents people who are not abashed come to europe from doing so and secondly that they would create a positive in sentiment with building camps with all the facilities that are needed in these countries in order to make them a sweet deal to stay there so simple to make the everyday life tolerable these countries until the wars and the magic. and revolutions which are going on have passed twenty let's concentrate on these people that you know they have got as far as land to do so the have gone on further into mainland europe germany spoken out as i mentioned just now against italy's appeal for assistance from the you did the

country's interior ministers contending solely for issuing visas to migrants from north africa do you think the italian should have the italian government should have done then. well i think definitely the telescoping and his minister should have made it very clear that these people have no future in europe because by giving them just do just the hope of getting a legal commission sustained europe he's creating another foot wave so to speak another migration wave from from libya or from egypt from tunisia who find it a possibility to come to europe what we need to tell these people is that we have to understand their present situation but we are not in a long term. position to help them in europe we will help them on a short term and then after what we were sent back to their countries where they were where they felt try to form they are they are living is there really. is it really feasible to send people by libya back to chile is here in the short. no in

the short term we need to limit their presence to italy because that's where they have come instead of as the city attorney and administration has suggested to give them legal permission to travel around in this european union to limit to the e.u. the e.u. all help each other lives open free boarders that's i guess what italy's yes it is and yes i want to help there the idea of the european union was to help each other but the realistic terms of the european union center be that we just it for some problems upon each other and that's not the way to do it that's what i'm saying i'm fully in support of the german position italy has created a problem has been thought a problem by the situation in north africa but has has also created a problem by giving these promises to these people and they are buying sending them to come in even larger numbers we need to limit this and therefore we need from the european union to send a signal that these people have no future in this in our country and we will help them who we hope to help under the geneva convention but the rest they must stay in the producer they must stay in italy and then after what's go back to their own

countries this is kicking of a real strain within the e.u. there is no basically happy place to be is a member threaten to introduce checks violating the whole idea as i mentioned just now of these free borders those it is really going to create a lot of tension within the isn't it. yes i mean reality is really striking here i mean for now ten years my party and equivalence to my policy have been crying out loud against the open borders because it's created so many problems with illegal migration with with international crime and so on which the average population of europe is on a daily basis suffering under now because of this flood of migrants we have a pressing situation which is pressing out in this s.s.g. for national border control the entire shingle idea has failed and therefore we need to step back onto into the situation which we had ten years ago where there was actually national quarter control because it is for the benefit of the national states for the benefit of the populations of europe we need to realize that and i think slowly the leaves the bureaucrats

a few you is realizing these facts. on the line from brussels there thank you for being on the r.t. international news. japan has raised the nuclear alert level at the quake hit fukushima plant to the maximum of seven it puts the crisis on a par with the chernobyl disaster now the decision was based on new data showing that want radiation had leaked from the damaged plant than previously thought but officials say that the upgrade doesn't mean the situation's become more critical the operator of the fukushima plant appears to be no closer to restoring cooling systems at the reactors another powerful aftershock across eastern japan forced the operator to evacuated start a month after that massive earthquake and tsunami hit the country leaving over thirteen thousand dead let's talk now to independent nuclear energy consultant sean burley on the line from the bernie thanks being on the program high levels of radioactivity been reported at the fukushima plant for several weeks now doesn't

start or why is japan way to go until now to raise the severity level was up to the maximum i mean what makes you think was the government concealing the true extent of the situation before the government or tepco. i think there's definitely an element of truth to see that we were concealing it to the japanese people i also think it's sort of the fear to them trying to explain that you've got a traditional type event in your country when nuclear power has been assured by the west and you require the japanese by the international atomic energy agency as not having any risks along with chernobyl clearly they have a catastrophic accident so i think that the level of confusion that's been going on inside the japanese government is to explain what's going on i'm totally has let's actually there's been a lot of criticism of tepco all the way along the line what about the government here lot of people asking saying that they should have stepped in much earlier the

resources should have come centrally taking into account all the rest renders problems that are happening in that country that war government resources and time and effort should have been focused on the plan do you agree. absolutely they have cleaned with the lights of the people it's a question mark and prefecture acknowledging weeks ago that the levels being released were equivalent. to a level seven accident greenpeace released information three weeks ago saying that it was a level seven accident based upon french nuclear safety agency assessments so that no on the risks and unfortunately many more thousands of people have been exposed to radiation levels that we should not have suffered we all saw those pictures from chernobyl at the time we think about the no go zone at the moment the state that said but for nonscientific papal what does it mean what we're saying it's the same level as what had been back in one thousand nine hundred sixty are the two disasters entirely comparable. comparable in terms of. release three direct

environment in the qissa try to pull out one of the consequence silpa very large fire due to the earth graphite fuel burning in very high temperatures was the real activity was spread over many thousands of square kilometers the situation because she might all have had explosions we've not seen fires but the problem really looks like that was late spring releases concentrating in a much smaller area and when you have japan with reader activity you have a real problem because the population density is so much better buildings for example which receives a lot of the fallout from trouble the average population density there is scorekeeper persons per square kilometer in japan the average is eight hundred and in the year real prone to cure the cantle region is twelve hundred persons so let's go to the chase where is it will we're is it going to be in say a year from now is there exclusion zone still going to be in place is anyone going

to be able to go back there for decades or what's the real picture. well certainly if charitable any lesson there will be eras around the plant twenty thirty kilometers maybe more but it will be an exclusion zone perhaps. here is outside exclusion zone we would be curious of high concentration it's not a thing you can see just by going fifty kilometers you are blessed you'll have hot spots. here is around the much infiltration of prefecture are certainly going to cause a hazard to health for many many decades and what a bird very low level just one last question from a that low level radiation water that they've been pumping away to make space in the tanks put our level radiation the water in from the core of reacted to it is that going to have a long term effect on the fishery around japan well certainly the marine life that will receive regular activity particularly shellfish and seaweed which are absolutely central to the japanese diet and fisheries economy they will be affected

by this they will absorb the regional new clients that i didn't see and others and build them up and therefore the economy or back part which depend on fisheries will be severely affected short version of the present nuclear energy consultant on the line from hamburg and i thank you very much for your insight of the program appreciate it thank you. fifty years ago today mankind opened the grand new chapter of its history by assuring in the manned exploration of space people across the globe are marking the anniversary of eureka gaar inspiring flight test for a similar reports that from the cosmodrome propelled the first and into space. i'm here in baikonur where many significant events in space history had taken place not least of which was the first successful manned space flight well it all began here because on this day fifty years ago cosmonaut you to go got aboard his bus stop one capsule and blasted off into space well that launch pad where he had taken off from

is now called the good god and start it's the very same launch pad used by b.s. so used to be twenty one crew when they left for space on april five going to the international space station they were of course in a spacecraft that had the image of you to go guided to mark this anniversary well since then a lot of there's a long list of achievements in terms of for us based exploration what different countries have died in that field but we have been speaking to the astronauts and for them a lot of the biggest progress they've seen really is the o'clock relation among countries the international space station is an example a clear example if you will of the global efforts in that regard now of course there are a lot of celebrations planned to and mark the anniversary here in baikonur famous personalities are expected to be here and also a special guest who will be joining in the celebrations for a variety of reasons is a man called you to go got it. but i. don't

think i have the owner of taken their last stop a great spacecraft to space first i was very happy to hold out on it it was only the beginning of april twelve thousand nine hundred sixty one the day utica got it blasted off into space orbited the earth and made history. a feat celebrated across the globe. it was incredible it was hard to believe that this actually happened especially course lysine but for this man it was also the day his name shot to face your identity is not paris didn't know where i was serving they only knew i graduated from pilots academy and the facility was working it was top secret if you only heard that you regarded being sent into space a c.v. it was me janice came to our house in female parents but they knew nothing of the

one i think they could help us attach. he had met me he got in one thousand nine hundred sixty three while working at the launchpad he ended up face to face with a man and introduced himself. you ask me what month i was born i said and it seems i mean i can't going to collapse or even stretch out my hands to hold him up it's turned out his own in march as well monuments like this one will serve as a reminder for future generations of mass first journey into space but for now there are still those who can sell the story of you to god and that momentous day from memory adding another layer of color to history adequate oh say i was a doctor who prepared the garden for his first flight she recalls that very day fifty years ago. the girl looked more pale than usual he was unsociable and quiet which was not like him and i know he would answer by nodding or a short yes to all questions sometimes he would start humming some tunes this was

a different guy or in four years three months and hundreds and i sat yuri everything will be fine and he nodded back. over to think as soon as he got in return to earth he was a superstar a hero for his compatriots those who knew him admit they weren't quite sure how to act around him and even to live yes i know we were playing volleyball in the garden and little guy approached us we'll move the way and we're asleep he was very surprised he said what's up with. those who played against they were giving way to govern noticed this and i was offended he said let's play fair ok for several years . it is hard pressed to find someone he knew got it and has a bad word to say after all he was chosen not just reasonability s. as a cosmonaut but also for his demeanor and signature smile certainly not a bad reputation to be associated with for this he got it this are silly our party . all of worby a legendary soviet cause with all of five have made him

a household name around the world in a special report we got wind of it coming away in fact ten minutes from now tonight and i'll take first i'll ask it across the latest business corrina see it after this quick break. aaron welcome to business r.t. thanks for joining us hour and we go straight to our top story deputy prime minister has decided to step down as chairman of the country's state run major ross snapped he's the first to call the presidential order that top officials should leave the board of state companies artie's peter all of our reports from the headquarters here. he go to such an announce to roll sniffed shareholders that he

will step down as the head of the company no this is due to a presidential ruling here in russia it says that no government official can also hold a position on the board of a major company amidst the such it is also the deputy prime minister here which means he has to step down from that position as the head of loss next no although they have known that this was going to happen it was expected that presidential ruling only came in around two weeks ago so it hasn't given much time to to settle in for real snafus there but it could cause some uncertainty surrounding the sixteen billion dollars share swap deal between next and be paid now this deal hasn't had many many snags in the past t.n. k p p p p's russian partners at the moment to try to oppose it at every turn and they've even suggested that. they take the billion dollar lawsuit could be filed by

t.n.t. b.p. against b.p. its loss of earnings that they could make from the exploration of oil fields now b.p. and his russian partners were widely expected to hold an extraordinary meeting on wednesday to try to resolve their differences at tanking b.p. is now saying that meeting will not be taking place the dispute is also causing a headache for the government that has a strong interest in the exploration of the arctic a corporate lawyer an ivory believes there's also a silver lining for russia. i think that the point that that's been missed in western circles is this is actually great news for russia and great news for legal system because. you have a great example here of web apologies how to contracts in the course of says you've got to contracts you must obey it. the fact that you have to come and get it you're trying to do something with ross nafta by the russian government is irrelevant the reality is you have a contract we have a rule of law russia so actually i think this is a point that western media circus has missed something it's

a great day for russian it was just. let's take a look at the markets now u.s. stocks fell sharply on tuesday as trade data had some economists warn forecasts of growth stocks are also down after alcoa kicked off earnings like us to sales that's up to fifteen and raise the measure of mr berry here it's a crisis to the highest level alcoa said late on monday it will try to first quarter profit with said revenue grew to just five point nine six billion dollars instead of the six point sixty billion dollars that analysts expected. here in moscow the market's twenty's in the red bull the odds as a miser it's lost nearly two and a half percent on negative news from abroad lower oil prices now let's take a look at some individual sam moves energy majors meet significant losses with both gascón and ross now setting over three percent banking stocks were also in the red words bareback causing him three percent of my sex. that's our business update for this hour plugs you can always buy most always just log on to our website r.t. dot com slash missed. me.
