a thriving community of more than five thousand feet full of the true noble it was deemed unsuitable for living and its inhabitants. in fact if you measure the radiation around here it's still several times higher than normal but just walk down the road and draw still people living all around their area. at first glance rushkoff looks like an ordinary village and most here live off what they grow in their gardens and the livestock they keep that the government says that it needs from animals further non-local feed from contaminated land isn't safe to eat. of course we're scared of the radiation but we simply can't afford to go anywhere else according to the government anyone who is living in the exclusion zone isn't i don't put equivalent housing outside it but actually getting it as a problem. mikael military of who personally for the fire to ennoble as the mayor

of the nearby town of numbers that. he admits that a current system isn't working. there is a commission that values the housing of those people who want to leave and gives the money for it but the money's too small those people wouldn't be able to afford a house in most places around russia so many people choose to stay here. a cancer rate in the area has gone up by seven times since chernobyl and effect of the contamination may not have peaked yet. but in the southern part of this with the wicket in the first few years after chernobyl at least or government programs to clean up local food supplies but now they're gradually coming to an end we're being forgotten about. the. holding his clinic doctor visits his relative at home eighty six year old husband died of cancer from a family contaminated materials she says she plans to live out the rest of her life

in libya nato airstrikes of force colonel gadhafi troops to pull out of the rebel held city of misrata but almost two months standoff meanwhile allied aircraft care about fresh air strikes on the capital tripoli of the night the government spokesman saying at least three people were killed in the raid it's a construct that has just returned from on a training mission in libya believes there's no justification for nato actions. the basis for nine hundred seventy three the u.n. resolution was the claim was that gadhafi had bombed from that three particular districts in tripoli. presume. we visited these places there was no indication whatsoever of any aerial bombardments so they go it just it just goes to show that if there's a claim this has to be actually corroborated properly and that hasn't been done and what we've what we've had is a situation where nato has gone to war going to solve sovereign nation on the base often allegation which in terms of our findings was just baseless the point is that

there has been no international investigative teams so far to investigate the nato bombings as well. the u.s. is sending arms drones to target the darkness forces but their external the editor of the website waging nonviolence not all says the move in the course of more innocent deaths. but any claim that this is a step forward is really hard to hard to jive with with the facts on the ground that they're asked him it was very lively in terms of this is million casualties due to drone strikes but the brookings institution a pretty centrist democratic organization intake in d.c. a couple of years ago put out a report that showed it for every military killed. another ten civilians were killed were each attack so i don't see any reason why that ratio

which changed in libya so introducing drones into the war libya is likely only and . more civilian casualties and worse are. always the times correspondent i ask about told r.t. that washington's initiative to send it strains is just another step along the path towards the u.s. that ground operation. there's a stalemate we could be a stalemate so nato didn't work their trauma parts in the beginning almost two hundred x. so where you do. this. and the pentagon is lying once again saying there will be no collateral damage we just have to look at the record of the trouble to see if this is not true coming back to that. we have been told that this is not a us war. started by africa the african comment there is it's first african war determined. by general carter ham which is the commander of africa then to

switch to nato which is basically going to work with the army in europe nursing is the start in brussels without an american ok and that we are going to get us as a less out of the strike missions in. u.s. creditors underground so it's ruined right after another nonstop. boots on the ground of course this is the action we couldn't see right now we have an opportunity. for britain and france are sending military advisors to live here and move once again cause critics to call for allies to have the original un resolution websites are asking what you think about it all so far the majority of our viewers think the mantra of isis or simply paved the way. from the third believe it just serves to prolong the warnings western interests twenty two percent are skeptical with tactical success for that war six percent. softening up mission before peace

negotiations got cut off we are not on to r.t. dot com and have your say. india is becoming an increasingly male dominated society as a data census shows the number of girls born there is a time families are desperate for sons as their financial. far more attractive that's results of gender selective abortions as artie's of the reports this genocide lay venturing many indian partners. it takes a village to raise a child the saying goes but in the village of cora about three hours from the indian capital not every child is given a chance here there are twice as many boys as girls and according to the latest indian census numbers the trend of more boys is a national reality and no coincidence in each family. there should be at least one

son who can look after the family business of the family. dr rajiv gupta is a physician at a hospital and hari ana in india sex selective abortion and finding out the sex of a baby before birth are illegal but every day good sees patients who are willing to do just about anything to construct a family with more boys than girls or something which. you have people who come to you. six or. people who have suffered in relation. to anything while the villagers in clora can't deny the statistics if you will talk about what is happening to all the baby girls they do however admit that having boys is more attractive to them financially especially when it comes to the indian practice of

a bride's family paying a gallery to the groom's family before their wedding is their reward there are a lot of poor people in the villages who almost immediately reach the fear diary it's like a big autistic. gendercide continues at the rate it is happening now by twenty twenty one india will have twenty percent more men. and then when i'm in one major concern for people here it could be if young guys all marry when they grow up if nothing changes. this is a worry for everyone even we have two sons a printing number of goods does worry us whether we will find wives where our sons are not in some places like korea are not the gender ratios are so skewed that some villagers are traveling to other states to buy brides for their sons. brides for poor families are brought in for other states they had their families with money and there have been several stories of imported brides who end up thoracic ostracized for their cultural differences for you between plants.

and instances of. one brave to many it's a rooted mentality that will be difficult to change everybody thinks of a good as a burden and dishes that to dawdle is not born in the family leaving the future for females in the country unknown preassure either r t cover or india. giving up so they had few this are we asking for americans are bothered by the growing pile of computer joke result of an insatiable appetite for new devices that pollutes other cultures. it's invisible it's below should be doing is somebody else's problems like a civil war in africa because it's not really a butter knife. and if she already have a firm course what was wrong with that that she needed my phone was a. closeup team

goes underground to a copper mine in russia strands by koichi congress doesn't stop people from taking their treasure. a court has ruled that the infamous koran burning pastor terry jones cannot hold an islamic rally in the city described as america's all muslim title just as they're called to the business decision ruling that the proposed rally could incite violence and outrage who community held its own protest to its questing for want to see how freedom of speech is being brought into doubt. they came to show that the planned protest was not causing a rift in their community even formed a human chain in a show of solidarity christians jews and muslims were not afraid. but we work together as a team as if as one family they came to send hastert terry jones a message whatever has him tormented i'm going to pray and have god to deliver him

a dozen people were killed in mazar e sharif in afghanistan here in dearborn it is about public safety pastor jones was refused a permit to protest at the mosque but was told he could protest elsewhere he should not be stopped from expressing his opinion in other venues that he's been offered including the city hall under local laws here there are four designated for. the henry ford community center the public library city hall and right here and i think the third quarter but the bigger question from. he is should there be designated free speech zones or under the first amendment of the constitution should the entire country be a designated free speech. and there were in michigan christine freeze out our team . more insights into our top stories on our website that's because that's not what's nice out there right now russia's mysterious self-defense and in custody check out the special photo section of the trial since captivates and using.
