on the radio the lead junkie who kills shirts in new delhi who to. be her to three collection removed the clothes of the other maidens hotels believe that as a movie the road isn't shifted it was promised. tonight the nato led coalition of graves its assault on colonel gadhafi to try and change the course of the libyan civil war which washington says is moving toward stalemate interventions had little success so far while the human cost them financial price tag skyrocketing. the problem and the u.n. secretary general is firm stance on libya saying the call should must act strictly within its mandate but only in moscow for dogs. plus russia's war on terror in the caucasus claims a high profile target after security forces kill a top al qaeda militant. the man is thought to have played

a key role in almost every terror attack in the country in recent years more details just. this is the artsy international news channel from moscow it's ten pm here now welcome if you just joined us. and our top story the war in libya is on the brink of a stalemate says the top u.s. military commander that's despite the announcement to send downed american predator drones to target gadhafi forces and his answer is no and it's been finding out the escalating cost of the campaign deadlock is raising questions. philippians it's been a long hard month and 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 see the situation is deepening probably of rather worse the african union temper to cease fire was scuttled i believe by western interests and now britain is putting troops in 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 seek and at what cost priceless human lives certainly but the ministry of defense refuses to release information on how much the intervention is costing taxpayers early estimates suggest. really in dollars a day that means a month's events is me of course thing u.k. is much different from fifty million dollars and counting and this at a time when the u.k. is 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 but 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 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 libya the arias trial or maybe. six months that would cost approximately one hundred million. and for all that investment defense strategists are calling the situation a stalemate b. 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 look 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 seen libya turning into another afghanistan ten years and counting floor and it's hard to see london the international community should comply with the mo fly zone resolution in libya and refrain from taking sides of the country's civil war that's a statement released following talks between the u.n. chief from the russian president can offer reports on the meeting in moscow. the russian president and the u.n. secretary general have strengthened their calls only kolisch into

a state strictly within its mandate which was given by the un the north lies on the resolution its goal is to protect civilians but it nato's operation in libya has been going on for over a month and every day more civilians are killed i just personally returned from guys the reason we spent two weeks there so various commemorations services in memory of the victims of this of violence and of course all this is a raising quality of concern among the international community and now to the u.s. is planning to use the on man's predator drones in we be and they do have quite an unpleasant history in afghanistan when it comes to civilian deaths all of this makes it highly likely that people will believe that the real goal of minos operation in libya is to protect civilians. the coalition's decision to send military advisors to the countries increased speculation whether this is the first step towards a ground operation political analyst told r.t.

the alliance his actions and libya are moving even further from their initial goal . but there's a growing frustration in the world on how the nato led operation in libya is going on and definitely they have gone far beyond the u.n. resolution which initially was installed just to introduce no fly zones or so what's going on now we started a different story coalition definitely stake in sides and. now they're considering another step to start to ration which can really bring unpredictable results for the country lucian came out as a result of a carefully worded come from my thoughts were discussing me your incredibility is at stake you see it can be jeopardized simply and this is what's happening in leap in. coming up with the program lifting the veil of mysteries of the exclusion. right now for the first time ever on international television we'll be trying to look inside the chernobyl to facility we revealed one of the soviet t.v.

a number of terror attacks the latest tween suicide moscow metro bombings that happened last year and moscow the idea of the airport terror attack that happened this year and claimed thirty eight lives now migraine it was on the list of top priority targets for russian security forces and that's why he had gone deep into hiding when russian secret you forces launched a search operation for him last fall currently further until the terrorist operations are underway here in. in the north caucasus especially in chechnya and english it's. been a question of reporting for us the world's attention is turning to ukraine as it prepares to mark the twenty fifth anniversary of the chernobyl disaster was holding a milestone a vent dedicated to the future safety of nuclear energy and r.t. crude gained access to the chernobyl exclusion zone and filmed one of the soviet union's biggest military secrets let's hear is yes can you put that story. 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 chernobyl nuclear disaster twenty five years ago i see lots of events in ukraine with lots of international v.i.p. just coming here to grain to attend these 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 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 chernobyl twenty five years ago when the soviet government to was spared no effort and money to trying to contain this chernobyl radioactive threat and in fact the still this area indeed crane needs some financial attention as he 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 his which would last for more than one hundred years was spent almost a week inside the chernobyl exclusion zone filming a documentary which i will be able to see on the twenty sixth of april which is of course the twenty fifth anniversary of the chernobyl nuclear fallout we see that 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 radial acacia station called the should noble 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 dog or

a more technical name in the beyond horizon radio location facility its prime prime goal was to detect a missile launch anywhere on the 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 fans of the stop secret facility has been impossible before for a t.v. journalist or a t.v. camera but what we've 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. spight 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. i fear it 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 fusing psychotropic radiation that would enable malicious forces to control people however there is no such thing as psychotropic radiation it was just another me or what i'm feeling for all the technicians 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 which we could have access to as the other two are still remain still remain as classified facilities and there is no access whatsoever to those facilities that is like syria is risky they are reporting from ukraine and you can watch his documentary on the secrets of chernobyl on the twenty

england where he has been residing recently and has contacted his sources at the federal security bureau so he has not even gone to police apparently because he still has some of the equipment is left over from when he has done some work for russia's federal security service doctors have demanded and three million euro ransom again according to the latest reports that read the ransom has been paid but the amounts of all the money that was paid for by the young males release is a no no in fact because thirsty family has asked the journalist to leave this story alone and have not released the family has not released any information on the boy's other states we're going to spare superleague was eight eight hundred million dollar estates they dispersed a lab of course isn't creating it and not just down supplier software but that's also done a lot of work for security services not just for russian security services but for

the u.s. security by the europeans and also has done with some work china and so. there are some stimulations that the reason for the abduction is a because the cyber criminals are trying to show that they are not happy with all of the various software that has been created which of course are prohibits them from accessing either top security files within these top secret facilities were arrested from stealing money i suppose that from banks so the details of this case of course are still are just sort of reports and if remains to be seen whether or not because firstly family will come forth and make any official announcements on this peculiar case. elsewhere around the world tonight in syria security forces so far the. on the series of pro democracy protests making friday the deadliest day of the uprising a local human rights group saying at least fifty people were killed tens of thousands took to the streets afternoon prayers the demand an end to president bashar al assad's eleven year rule leaders formally ended five decades of emergency

rally outside america's largest mosque in protest of was live nora's christians mark good friday is christine has the latest. of sunni and shiite christian jews who are not going to be residents of zero four dollars here in the islamic center of america for one reason they want to spread the image of unity nearly a thousand people came for that same reason they have a message for pastor terry jones 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 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 easier to search in trouble. this. many in dearborn say the pastor is not welcome but this is how they will fight back they gathered outside the mosque and formed a human chain in a show of solidarity clearly he does not represent. any of god's teachings and so whatever has him tormented boy to pray and as god to deliver him 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. located just between two churches on the same day as good friday it is for this reason pastor terry jones spent the majority of the day here at the nineteenth district court in dearborn michigan our judge inside denied him a permit to protest where he wanted which was right outside the islamic center he was told instead you could protest freely outside of city hall he said he didn't want to and without 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 and christine freeze out for our team in dearborn michigan. for troubles again now around small interesting sides to russia this time or close to zoos in all eastern siberia.

markets close. look at shares her bank was the biggest most energy shares were up but blue color was weaker than the market after that deal with. the troika wraps up the trading. major of events over the past week was the reduction of for us that's why some people. and quite interesting all markets globally reacted very negatively and there was a sharp decline just in every thing world prices dropped four percent s. and p. dropped two percent on the announcement and russian market dropped five percent as well i think it's quite interesting that this is the feature of the current situation the market so there are so many respects in the market generally that starting from japan to very high all prices that everyone is ready to start selling even at the minor negative events but in fully three days the market talk a little bit colored until we see right now is simply it's so you probably six
