welcome to the translight. washer fluid so far. merican armed drones are now actually over in libya it's more than a month since operation started with allied forces entrenched many of the same across the campaigns going nowhere. as moscow warns the coalition that sending but it should visors to be a breaks the u.n. resolution audience chief is in the russian capital discuss the situation in the world also. right now for the first time ever on international television we'll be trying to look inside the chernobyl to facility. worst thirty five years after the normal new catastrophe party gains exclusive access to a secret soviet military installation derelicts deep exclusions. on

russia's energy giant state owned ross naf an independent lukoil have joined forces on signs an offshore exploration agreement for more joint business something in about twenty minutes. casting live from the heart of the russian capital the says our team the coalition is turning up the heat on colonel gadhafi and u.s. predator drones have joined the mission to seek and destroy the embattled leaders also allied forces have been engaged in the country's civil conflict for more than a month out of the hole to show for war is causing widespread concern about its cost well enough. philippians it's been a long hard month and strike of the airstrike by nato forces in the middle of an

increasingly violent civil war but in the midst of all that bloodshed what's been achieved according to many not a lot i think the situation is deepening probably got rather worse the african union tempi to cease fire was scripted i believe western interests america is putting troops in on the ground is of prizes i think it's very dangerous we're involved in a civil war which is no problem interest and at what cost priceless human lives certainly but the ministry of defense refuses to release information on how much the intervention in libya is costing the british taxpayer estimates suggested the bill could run to five million dollars a day that means a month's offensive may have cost the u.k. as much as one hundred fifty million dollars and counting and this at a time when the u.k. slashing spending on public services leading to widespread often violent demonstrations this is an incredible amount of money when they say the there is no

money available that we could every week we could be building a new hospital several new schools and we could be paying the student tuition fees which are going up to nine thousand the year next year defense cuts have already begun and the ministry of defense is expected to save nearly eight billion dollars over the next four years ironically experts say that's made the libyan war more expensive now that the u.k. no longer has an aircraft carrier every mission is longer and logistically harder. if we still have international. carriers and. we could be doing a little drop. trial. and over six months that would cost us approximately one hundred million which is one chance for what we're doing now and for all that investment strategists are calling the situation

a stalemate gadhafi is still in libya reportedly using illegal and indiscriminate cluster munitions on rebel forces peace seems no nearer and nato appears to be settling in for the long haul until the libyans themselves can negotiate a deal after a month of airstrikes u.k. forces are more inextricably involved in the conflict than ever just in the last week the ministry of defense committed to sending military advisors to libya to organize the rebels this is seen by many as the most significant step so far towards deploying ground troops and once that happens many see libya turning into another afghanistan ten years and counting your and it's hard to see london for journalists on a soft says if nato goes beyond the un mandate has nothing to do with the rebels request for help. i think the original demand from the rebels inside of eastern libya and the cities in western libya was simply no fly zone to stop the most from

his coming in and some humanitarian aid the red line for them was ground troops and now we're beginning to see the first steps towards a creeping. critical arrival of foreign or foreign forces that this is exactly what happened in vietnam and in various other conflicts and it always starts with it's about humanitarian intervention and then where is it leading to and this i think is a very very dangerous move and what we're seeing in libya unfortunately is the best way to put it is really the west hijacking this revolution and in this process they're making very very difficult for the revolution succeeded. the coalition's decision that to send a military advisors to that is not exactly being welcomed with open arms and russia moscow is warning that moves directly against the u.n. resolution and some kinds of mention aid both are contradictory they said today that eventually keeping the russian leadership asking about.

russia's repeat likud predicted the magic solution to the conflicts and has been from the very beginning cautious about foreign intervention in libya is unsettling . now there have been increasing concerns about actions taken by allied forces and was that they fall beyond the terms of the un resolutions airbrushes expressed concerns about the pool of civilians by naysay airstrikes the way it takes civilians and the recent decision by ek and france to send in military advisers has been criticized russia saying that that could have predictable consequences but current minister sergei lavrov has said that is a clear launch of a crowd complex now another topic of discussion is going to be the situation in the ivory coast the u.n. also rising the setting of peacekeeping troops that the decision to pull the president by face president was seen as taking sides in the conflict was just going

to be calling for an explanation about the use of most of the sleep gains be the front dozens to have today this is a soul that the u.n. secretary general is going to be discussing with president fade of the issue of security and be clear power plug sort of pools being the stakes of international attention since the tsunami and earthquake devastated to construct our blogs and i was told the president said of his that she can see be an ounce of initiatives aimed at preventing any you need to disasters in the speech of another topic is a six will be the issue and the parties say the u.n. security council apostle resolution last week was actually initiated by russia to preventing sea piracy off the case of somalia is a days as some of the topics of the will be discussed today a bit as he said over the top of the agenda is going to be the all going conflict and the importance of ensuring the ford involvement isn't acting outside the terms

of the u.n. resolution. still ahead for you this hour the midwest collides with the middle east koala burning american pastor all shock waves around the world that's a protest outside of the largest mosque in the u.s. . last april customs of the modern world a russian spy raised state without taking close up. security forces in russia's republic of chechnya have killed a top al qaeda leader in north caucasus it was one of three gunmen killed in a special security recommendation idea was waged on one of those killed was a delta flight as an agent a role card is network in the north caucasus a native of saudi arabia nicknamed a magnet has been traced in the north caucuses since ninety nine you know magnate was also the key guarantor in coordinator of the funds coming from abroad to fuel

the militancy network in russia still very. well until terror committee also says not and that was one of russia's most wanted men all side chechen warlord . he was leading an influential figure among caucasus militants played a key role in almost all the ones up to place in russia recent years. it's a small sports business of course in germany thirty dollars. it was the world's worst nuclear disaster that's twenty five years on the battle to contain it continues building a new sarcophagus over the chernobyl site is the most pressing issue as a meeting of the in the country is held in ukraine things like the archons king reports from the capital kiev. twenty five years ago when the true noble fall out happened in the soviet ukraine the world saw a large debate on the safety of nuclear energy the same thing is happening now a days with the fukushima nuclear disaster unraveling in japan and now with the

anniversary of the chernobyl nuclear disaster twenty five years ago i see lots of events in ukraine with lots of international v.i.p. guests coming here to ukraine to attend the services internet in trouble and a different called france is related to that sense now all of them most of them have been speaking out in defense of nuclear energy including the head of the international atomic energy agency who visited your novel said that still the world has no alternative to nuclear energy despite the events which are happening into question when he said that the nuclear energy in the right hands should be safe and should be used now another thing which is happening now in our days and it also seems to be something of a history repeating is the investment tokyo is ready to invest almost fifty billion u.s. dollars into trying to contain the contamination around the fukushima plant the same thing which what was happening in china will twenty five years ago when the soviet

government to was spared no effort and money to trying to contain this novel radioactive threat and in fact there's still this area indeed crane needs some financial attention as he has already managed to persuade the governments of different countries to invest more than five hundred million euros into building the new circle for his which would last for more than one hundred years this would probably save guard the area for another hundred years or so but the area itself exclusion zone international would never be inhabited again as the full out period of the nuclear particles would last for several thousand years spent almost a week inside the chernobyl exclusion zone filming a documentary which all it easier was we'll be able to see on the twenty sixth of april which is of course the twenty fifth anniversary of the chernobyl. nuclear fallout we said we've managed to get into the darkest and most secret parts of the exclusion zone including one of the biggest secrets of the soviet union a regular geisha station called it should not go to the whole world knows the

chernobyl nuclear power plant and the thirty kilometer exclusion zone which surrounds it but few are aware that this area holds a secret which had been kept hidden for many decades. for the first time ever on international television r.t. is able to bring you one of the biggest secrets of the soviet union this facility behind me has many different names the chernobyl to the degree or a more technical name the beyond horizons radio location facility its prime prime goal was to detect a missile launch anywhere on european continent but it's test launch in nine hundred eighty proved that its signal is so powerful that it can reach the eastern coast of the united states this facility was one of the most expensive projects of the soviet union it cost around seven billion soviet rubles which is twice as expensive as the construction of the chernobyl nuclear power plant just fifteen kilometers from here even getting this close to the friends of the stop secret

facility has been impossible before for a t.v. journalist for its new camera but what we managed to find here this should be helpful this is a hole in the wall and right now for the first time ever on international television we'll be trying to look inside the chernobyl to facility. spike the official claims that it was decommissioned and put out of service straight out of after the trouble fall out in nine hundred eighty six it still remains under the protection and there are still armed guards at the security checkpoints around the area not letting anyone inside. the theory was put forward that it wasn't really an over the horizon radar station but rather a special facility for influencing people's minds and for using psychotropic radiation that would enable malicious forces to control people however there is no such things like attribute radiation it was just another me and feel of all the definitions all the people behind this technology were describing it as their pride as something the soviet union and the soviet union space technology should be proud

of because to that date in one thousand eight hundred none of the world's readers could have had such a strong signal as the station like this there are only three stations like this in the world. this is the only one of which we could have got access to as the other two are still remain still remain as classified facilities and there's no access whatsoever to those facilities. but ours are things alexy our ships to reporting from ukraine. well easter weekend may be upon us but thoughts of peace and goodwill are far from the mind of this controversial koran burning pastor terry jones was unknown and on top of his not outrage the muslim world and triggered violence in afghanistan is planning a demonstration in front of one of the largest mosques in the us christine for. months only christian. residents of zero four hour period roxanne around america are wondering if they want to spread that image of unity i

nearly a thousand people came about the same reason they have a message for pastor terry jones he may have an issue with islam he may have some fear about islam and we understand that it may be the case but we don't believe that he's necessarily searching for the truth and what we believe easiest. later they gathered outside the mosque and formed a human chain in a show of solidarity many in dearborn say the pastor is not welcome but this is how they will fight back clearly he does not represent. any of god's teachings as he would ever have. i'm going to pray as god to deliver him pastor terry jones became a well known figure after his plan to burn a qur'an this past september eleventh at his church in florida while that event was canceled he did stage a qur'an burning last month which fell under the radar of most media here in the

united states but did not go unnoticed in other parts of the world. in response mass riots were held in the city of mazar e sharif in afghanistan more than a dozen people were killed and many there pointed to pastor terry jones as the reason so why would caster jones come to dearborn michigan well despite being located in the midwest of the united states and if people say this city looks more like the middle east out of the one hundred thousand residents here forty thousand are arab american it's home to the largest muslim american population in the country and the islamic center of america you see behind me is the largest mosque but people are concerned for public safety because of where the mosque is located it's located just between two churches on the same day as good friday hundreds are expected to attend services using just this one road it is for this reason pastor

terry jones spent the majority of the day here in one thousand for this record in dearborn michigan i judge inside denied him a permit to protest where he wanted which was right outside the islamic center he was told and said he could protest freely outside of city hall he said he didn't want to and without them to pay one hundred thousand dollars bomb. to pay for any damages that might occur he refused and has now been given a trial by jury the trial is scheduled to take place on the same day as his planned protests we will of course bring you the very latest but for now and christine for is out for our team in dearborn michigan. but there are always more reports blogs on features just a click away authority dot com is a place just some of the stories online and you go brush and stability crosses reach record highs we look for the reasons i thought he got home. and all aboard a train have been snowing in the wake of the russian capital but spring is definitely comes as the city's rivers are opened up to saving for the year.

where russian police are investigating whether the summer of one of the country's richest people may have been kidnapped that's off the media reports of a three million euro grandson in development the return of software tycoon any interest in this child twenty year old in iran there has been missing since tuesday the search is underway it's not officially a kidnap case but his father hasn't part of complaint you give us first he is among the top two hundred wealthiest people in russia around the national company that he says antivirus a computer security products. all the news stories in brief there are few this up. twenty four people have been killed in u.s. drone attack in pakistan's tribal region of north waziristan on the afghan border some reports say militants and civilians killed among the casualties. hundreds of gunmen attacked a checkpoint in the northwest of the country killing fourteen security forces if it

was really hurt in the region where taliban fighters have been gaining strength. british petroleum has announced it's giving one billion dollars towards the restoration of the u.s. gulf coast runs water in the straits of florida we see on the mississippi and texas federal agencies what it would be used to clean up the damage zones and build recreation areas last year more than seven hundred million tons of oil spilled into the gulf of mexico after an explosion at a rig platform killed eleven people. and the huge protests turkey's top election board has reversed an early decision to ball twelve kurdish politicians from standing national elections instead of it's around about to enter the race with two of the stimulating decision regional brand the growth tens of thousands on the streets and protest across the mainly east of the country russia is not one thing they're going to do it.

probably go on their own you can pack your bags as we take you on a trip across russia without close up to. like i said some six thousand kilometers from. one. of the largest reacts. and banks they own the. options and. lists this one is the scope of the principles of. the transfer i call region has a diverse topography with wide open spaces contrast in forests and mountain ranges that encircled sand dunes but the face is faith and traditions of indigenous people also. east and while many still hold on to old traditions and customs they also

embrace russian culture and the closer. closer into indigenous people two groups is particular in the various ways that they deal with. once a nomadic people brought ancestors hail from china and mongolia the land where they settled became russian and the seventeenth century. side by side from generation to generation peace and. harmony. harmony influenced by buddhism a religion which has also been instrumental in connecting to values and teaching centuries. it is i'm in the bay area so closely intertwined because there was no temporal education and the entire education was centered on the monastery people received their first education here i mean reading

writing and healing. they make up the largest ethnic minority group in russia's transplant car region at sixty six thousand keeping the cultural conservation network strong. even people are also indigenous to the region including has it the two brothers became so obsessed with their fight to the wider goal that they had neglected their families and their people to punish them the guards turned them into mountain ranges kadar to the east and to the west quest for riches and the onset of the industrial age has placed a heavy burden on the customs like reindeer hunting time and assimilation have also reduce the population it now stands at just under two thousand here fewer people your voices can speak in the tongue of their forefathers. and you actually good for the local population is heavily mixed with russians that's why many contemporary

even snoops just like russians prefer learning russian they no longer have pride in their people all the native language. in filipovic didn't become proficient in the art of making bullets from reindeer hide until after she had children a skill wasn't passed down by family but taught by teachers the boots are a way to make money but also a way to put you think style on display slava questions are her biggest customers in america told her teachers if iggy applied art and folklore she believes that while love brings people together it is also work against keeping the ways of the elders of live many of aix abandon them once they marry russians. but what can i do to people meet and fall in love with each other it's impossible to avoid mixed marriages. it's one of many modern day realities that threatens russia's indigenous cultures stacy didn't r.t. the transfer call region.

welcome to this thanks for joining us in just four months russian companies raised over two billion dollars in their i.p.o. five point five billion for the whole of last year but the dynamics on the next while some companies in the successfully others struggle and console them multiple times. from them consultations outlines the jitters and prospects of a market there is a lot of nervousness in the market opened up and driven by what's happening

globally and that certainly fits the filters in the russian market as well and so i think that whereas in a more benign environment you may see a wider range of companies being able to close to being able to get deals the way right now there's a lot more scrutiny around stories investors their criteria. sort of see us and put him up in a market like this it is still possible to do i.p.o.'s in this market and if you've got the right story and you meet the right criteria it's still possible to do it right now if you look at all of. the listed russian companies or natural fact they cover a very wide range of sectors already and now you see three toilet paper proctors tissue you've got a lot of deals that are potentially out. there if they meet the right criteria that there will be demand. the largest oil companies state owned rosneft and independent lukoil have signed a deal over offshore exploration under their agreement was that blood would have to look all its license is awarded the gas reached optional fields

a small sloop calls tossed on still do but it's part of also had preservation to the whole host of such mother ships with foreign majors like b.p. chevron and exxon but you know looks promising for nuke or result would has been declining as the company struggled to gain control deposits. let's have a look at the global markets and russian crew crude oil prices are a dream high as they don't like him to news to form and still hope for results in bigger was supposed to expectations for all demand that wouldn't ya is that it was to percent while brant is quoting adjustable. pressures not always are catching that graph such a strong rally beating a new record is added this week gold is modestly opera down to zero point three percent and so it was trading at around it's not a seven percent stats. here in russia by the us he hasn't even six have opened in the black the my six is currently trading around a third of a percent off with energy majors losing the growth. let's have a look at some to be atrocious average was record was up and stronger crude bucking

the trend this last left which was more than one point three percent down on the aussie has been wild for the metal as well three percent up on the right for business but it's. much more company brush yet as more than tripled its net profit reaching one point two billion dollars last year if it is almost a third of our food costs become pennies have the result full support for the increased profit on growing oil price it's. russia is considering easing the tax regime for energy companies so they spending all modernization without boosting turrets analysts say the move will also help the companies improve their investment attractive try to track to finance however to make sure it's driving from from v.t. behind believes the sector will benefit more from the legal stability. differently the current price of russian us is so are quite cheap on market prices shadows of so on it's quite cheaper as a relative to emerging markets around the idea of market more over russia grazes

there is a growth story and if you look over your opinion is there more was an all girls in their winnings and consumption sold the russians growing conference or just because it's so interesting could one run for the rest of us and. another parent i would say that at the moment so we have a sort of regulate from us so all for the attractiveness of the story for the long run for the investor so i guess the government should think about keeping previous promises saying creeping through this rules of the game insects are not a troll keep their interest in the sector otherwise leave for even a yemeni government change the rules of the gave me cheer so it will diminish the potential interest to what is there to. put a terrace more next hour on the latest headlines and carry.

i live in a country that don't understand that there's more violence in the streets of this country than there are in the streets of baghdad. one night in this story. racial. divides the be wrong.
