there with r.t. at the having with us today straight to our top story now. turning up the heat on colonel gadhafi u.s. predator drones have joined a mission to seek and destroy the embattled leaders asked not allied forces have been engaged in the country's civil conflict. or is causing widespread concern about its cost reports. philippians it's been a long hard month strike after strike 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 the time to cease fire was scuttled i believe quite western interests and now

britain is putting troops on the ground as advisors i think it's very dangerous we're involved in a civil war for which there is no problem interest or issue 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 only estimates suggested the bill could run really in dollars a day that means a month's offensive may have cost the u.k. as much as a hundred fifty million dollars and counting and this at a time when the u.k. is slashing spending on public services it into widespread often violent demonstrations this is an incredible amount of money when they say the there is no money available that we could go every week we could be building a new hospital several new schools. we could be paying the student tuition fees which are going up to nine thousand the year next year defense cuts

have already begun in 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. and harriers and. we could be doing a little drop. and over six months that would cost us. one hundred million. what we're doing now and through 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 bad strikes u.k. forces look more inextricably involved in the conflict than ever just in the last week the ministry of defense committed to sending military advisers to libya to organize the rebels this is seen by many as the most significant steps a far towards deploying ground troops and once that happens many see libya turning into another afghanistan ten years and counting nowhere and it's hard to see. if nato goes beyond the u.n. mandate it has nothing to do with the rebels request for help i think the original demand from the rebels inside. the cities and less than it was something no fly zone to stop the most from is 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. across the critical arrival of foreign or foreign forces 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 that leading to and this i think is a very very dangerous move and what we're seeing in libya unfortunately is what i want to put it is really the west hijacking this revolution and in this process they're making very very difficult for the revolution succeeded. well the coalition's decision to send military advisors to libya is not exactly being welcomed with open arms in russia moscow is warning that the move is directly against the u.n. resolution that burns all kinds of military aid to north african country later today the un chief ban ki moon who needs the russian leadership in moscow and sarah ferguson details. russia has repeated the food for diplomatic solution to the conflict and has been up from the ferry beginning cautious about foreign intervention in libya is internal affairs of another meaning we see concerns about

actions taken by allied forces and whether they fall beyond the terms of the un resolutions that russia's expressed concerns about full of civilians us by nature yes types of other ways to protect civilians and the recent decision by ek and france to send in military advisers has been criticized russia saying that that could have unpredictable consequences but foreign minister sergei lavrov has said that it's clear launch of a ground home legs now another topic of discussion is going to be the situation in the ivory case the u.n. also rising to sending its peacekeeping troops that that the decision to pull the president vice president was seen as taking sides in the conflicts in russia's tends to be calling for an explanation about the use of polls to the certainly going to be the front dozens to be had today to say so that the u.n. secretary general is going to be discussing with president the fate of the issue of

security at the clear power plant sort of pools being the face of international attention since the tsunami and earthquake devastated to construct schieber power plugs now is so the president stated is that she getting see be announcing some initiatives aimed at preventing any unique a disaster in the speech up another topic is who's a fool to be the issue the party state the u.n. security council a possible solution last week it was actually initiated by russia to preventing before still the case of somalia say days as some of the topics is the will be discussed today a bit as we stand over the top of the agenda is going to be the ongoing conflict in the importance of ensuring the for development. isn't acting outside the time. well still ahead to the south and midwest collides with the middle east the wrong burning american pastor of course shock waves around the world plans a protest outside of the largest mosque in the u.s.

. age old custom in the modern world in russia's forests stay with out as we take you close up. security forces in russia's republic of chechnya have killed a top al qaeda leader in the north caucasus he was one of three gunmen killed in a special security break in the region idea was raised one of those killed was identified as an agent of the card his network in the north caucasus a native of saudi arabia. has been traced in the north caucasus since one thousand and you know. it was also to keep your insurer cool the nature of the funds coming from abroad to fuel the militants in your commercial state very public schools should it. and national committee also says not and that was one of russia's most wanted men offside church of war including mara was leading an influential figure among caucus as militants and so to have played

a key role in almost all the terrorist bombings that took place in russia in recent years the latest moscow's busiest airport in january which claimed thirteen. when the son of one of russia's richest people has reportedly been released after it was claimed he'd been kidnapped for ransom twenty year old yvonne youngest child of software tycoon gannicus kreskin been missing since tuesday there's been no official confirmation about any of the facts of the case from the family including rumors that this isn't paid a ransom of three million dollars to the kidnappers any conspiracy can use them on the top two hundred wealthiest people in russia he founded an international company that produces antivirus and other computer security products. it was the world's worst nuclear disaster but 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 donor countries is held in ukraine nazis alexy are reports from the capital clear. twenty five years ago when the chernobyl fallout 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 now the anniversary of the two noble 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 these services internet enjoyable 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 upon visitor nobile said that still the world has no alternative to nuclear energy despite the events which are happening for 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 trouble twenty five years ago when the soviet government to was spared no effort and money to trying to contain of this should noble radioactive threat and in fact there's still this area indeed crane needs some financial attention as key of has already managed to persuade the governments of different countries to invest more than five hundred million euros into building the new circle for goods 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 the exclusion zone intern level would never be inhabited again as a 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 of these us will be able to see on the twenty sixth of of

april which is of course the twenty fifth anniversary of the chernobyl. you careful out we said we've managed to get into the darkest and the most secret parts of the exclusion zone including one of the biggest secrets of the soviet union a regular geisha station called you 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 have 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 dog or a more technical name they began to rise and read a location facility its prime prime goal was to detect a missile launch anywhere on the european continent but its test launch in one thousand eight hundred 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 fans of the stop secret facility has been impossible before for a t.v. journalist for a t.v. 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. it's quite the official claims that it was decommissioned and put out of service straight out and after the trouble fall out in one thousand 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 with. a theory was put forward that it wasn't really an over the horizon radar station or 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 thing as psychiatric radiation use just another me. all the deficients all the people behind this technology were describing it as their pride as something the soviet union the soviet union space acknowledges 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 get access to as the other two are still remains still remain as classified facilities and there is no access whatsoever to those facilities. because art is next here assessed in reporting from ukraine. for the easter weekend maybe upon a speck thoughts of peace and goodwill soften the mind of florida's controversial corona pastor terry jones was unknown until he torched which was the world trade the violence in afghanistan that's coming up in straight front of one of the

largest mosques in the us christine for its. sunni christians. who are not the residents there are gathered here in the islamic center of america . they want to spread the image of unity nearly a thousand people came about same reason they have a message for pastor terry jones he may have an issue with this line he may have some fear about it and we understand that it may be the case but we don't believe that he's necessarily searching for the truth in your world we believe easier to start some trouble with. the east. peace in afghanistan. 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 the beauty of god teachings so

whatever has him tormented i want to pray and 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 pastor jones come to dearborn michigan. well despite being located in the midwest of the united states many 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 at the nineteenth district court in dearborn michigan a judge inside denied him a permit to protest working on it which was right outside the islamic center he was told instead you could protest really outside of city hall he said he didn't want to and would ask them to pay one hundred thousand dollars bond to pay for any damages that might occur he refused and has now been given a trial by jury about a trial is scheduled to take place on the same day as his planned protest we will of course bring you the very latest but for now i'm christine for for our team in dearborn michigan. of course there are always more reports globes and beaches are just a click away at r.t. dot com here's a taste of some of the stores online few right now

a nomadic people were running ancestors hail from china and mongolia but the land where they settled became russian in the seventeenth century and were russians side by side from generation to generation piece. from them or from. those harmony influenced by buddhism a religion which has also been instrumental in connecting borat's to values and teaching centuries oh no. it isn't in the bay area closely intertwined because there was no temple education and the entire education was centered on the mormon street people received the first education here i mean reading writing and healing. they make up the largest ethnic minority group in russia's trans. i call region at sixty six thousand people in the cultural conservation at work strong. but even people are also indigenous to the

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 next well some companies in this successfully are the struggle as counsel the flotations and tom black will and communications outlines the jitters and prospects. there is a lot of nervousness in the market at the moment driven by what's happening globally and that certainly fits and filters into 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 and be able to get deals that way right now there's a lot more scrutiny around stories investors that criteria and they're sort of passive wrapped 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 need 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 from toilet paper helicopters

to shoes you've got a lot of deals that are potentially out that if they meet the right criteria that there will be demand. russia still largest oil companies and independent blue quo have signed a deal over all choice liberation under their agreement for snapple open outlook or limits license zones of oil and gas rigs all sure failed a smart new calls first option deal with its partner role snapped as i'm sure that a whole host of such phone ships with foreign majors like b.p. chevron maxim do looks promising for nucor has an up and has been declining the company's struggle to gain new unshackle to pause it's. less of a market the global markets now crude oil prices a dream high as the dollar continues to fall and strong corporate results in the u. us police spokesman stations all demand so w.g. eyes as being almost at the center while brant is approaching just about the time the. precious metals are catching their breath after

a strong rally hitting new record highs earlier this week gold is modestly on the red point three percent and silver is trading at around thirty thousand dollars bonds this hour. let's have a look at the stock markets now the european and the u.s. poses a close jews are the easter holidays in a while here in russia the r.c.a.'s a device that's continue their gains with energy majors and even the growth. let's take a look some at some individual shared movers lukoil is up with stronger crude back in the trend as last minute which is almost zero percent down on the aussie as in wild point of metal is more than two percent up and made high precious metal prices . russia is considering easily easing the tax regime for energy companies so they spend more on modernization of the had boosting tyrants say the move will also help the companies improve their investment attractiveness however dimitris grab it from the cheap and believes the sector would benefit more from legal stability. they think they are the current price of russian isis so are quite cheap i mean market

price of a share of cents for one squad supervisor for a relative to emerging market town developed market moreover russia grazes it was a growth story and if you look we know your opinion city is very small us inaugurals here when most of the consumption story sold the russian is growing conference or it's because it's so interesting a long run for the investors and. i would say that at the moment so we have to sort of lead from less so for the attractiveness of the story and for the long run for the investors so i guess the government should think about keeping previous brontosaurus and keeping previous rules of the game intact and other to keep that interest through the sector otherwise you free ray i mean every government change the rules of the game each year so it will diminish their potential interest to produce after. it's a nor knees that i'm going to have lines that carry our. the
