which beasts in which brighton if you. come from feinstein. starts on t.v. dot com. tonight i'll see that you had no choice but to endure hit hard by that should not fall for this community's remained intact and over twenty five years since managing to survive on contaminated land we've got their story. plus civilian casualties continue to climb in libya with the us really an unmanned drone was destroyed government forces we work at duffy's troops reportedly retreat from coastal areas leaving rebels to face tribal opposition. india is running out of within families fighting poverty turning to genders selective abortions and a drastic been to secure their financial future. and it's

a case of freedom of speech versus religious tolerance in the united states where a pastor who publicly burned the qur'an is prohibited from staging a protest in what's considered the country's muslim capital. hello this is r t the international news broadcaster from moscow my name is kevin oh it's now nine pm and our top story it's been six weeks since japan lost control over the fukushima nuclear plant that is so far been unable to plug lethal radiation leaks either from the onset the worst fears were that it could end up being another. went to one of the worst affected areas there were a quarter of a century on the disaster continues to haunt local residents.

the exclusion zone on the border between russia and belarus although it's more than a hundred kilometers from chernobyl and should see some of the heaviest radioactive fallout from to nuclear accident in and you know eighty six people were advised to leave but not everybody has this is the bay thriving community of more than five thousand people after chernobyl it was deemed unsuitable for living and its inhabitants already housed in fact if you measure the radiation around here it's still several times higher than normal but just walked down the road and resto people living all around their area. at first glance bush cough looks like an ordinary village for most to live off what they grow in their gardens and the livestock they keep. the government says that are made from animals fatten the local feed from comparable native land isn't safe to eat. and.

of course we're scared of the radiation and we simply can't afford to go anywhere else. according to the government anyone who's living in the exclusion zone is an equivalent housing outside it but actually getting it is a problem. we hail miller chair of personally for the fire action mobile as the mayor of the nearby town of nor was it called hidden with the current system isn't working and. there is a commission that values the housing of those people who want to leave and give the money for it but the money is so 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 way seven times since chernobyl and effect of the contamination may not have peaked yet. with the wicket in the first few years after chernobyl at least till the government programs to clean up local food supplies but now they are gradually coming to an end we're being forgotten about.

the. holding his clinic doctor for now i visit his relative at home eighty six year old husband died of cancer from hamley contaminated materials and she says she plans to live out the rest of her life here. i was never given a chance to leave and now i'm too old to go anywhere else. but while it may be too late for an absolute others here could still enjoy life without the shadow of radiation. either unnerved r.t. beyond screeching. and with the fukushima crisis in japan raging on there's little choice but to learn from past mistakes and continue with nuclear energy there's according to grimston nice energy expert at chatham house. it's certainly a very serious accident it's the second most serious after chernobyl in the history of nuclear energy there have been releases of radioactive material as their

environments and have been evacuation i mean i think we one of the things when i like that and just probably don't which are going to happen this year is that we need to look into these this certainly does seem to be details but a high level of pressure. in one of their acts is possibly react in a more wild weather event a brother but later than the others but they should have done that buildup of pressure may have affected the seals within the range of vessel which could have given a route for the material to to come out and i do say having been commentating throughout this that i think the speed of information coming out of japan has not been a sigh of what would have hoped to sushi they are getting cooling water into the centers of the reactor but they haven't got through what's called kolchak where all the holes are inside directors are it's a liquid that means there will be escapes of radioactive material but they weren't able to start looking at a long term solution until they have the centers of those reactors world under control and they can remove the seal you say the third biggest economy in the world

doesn't have an awful lot of choices japan imports eighty four percent of its energy it's enormously dependent on imports of energy problem the middle east and of course. russia and the former soviet union it's common industries practically it's pretty much used all of its coal and it doesn't have enormously valuable renewable reserves there. which ennobles twenty fifth anniversary just three days away will bring you plenty of coverage on the disaster and its consequences it's monday endangered whale to catch an exclusive documentary about the terrifying legacy of the chernobyl blast right from the heart of the exclusion zone. twenty five years of fallout. from the most devastating nuclear disaster in history. or culture of the century dismantling of its mistakes.

legacy of chill. on the party. in libya colonel gadhafi troops have reportedly pulled out from the coastal city of misrata after nearly two months of fierce exchanges there the libyan deputy foreign minister said the army would withdraw from the area and allow cable builders to deal with the rebels instead human rights groups say more than a thousand people have died in the structure joining the siege by the japanese troops of the city now on the verge of here of humanitarian catastrophe meanwhile the libyan government says three people have been killed by nato airstrikes outside daffy's compound in central tripoli. chandan who just returned from a monitoring mission in libya he says he thinks the decision to intervene in the country was groundless in the first place. the basis for nine hundred seventy three un resolution was the claim was that gadhafi had bombed. three particular

districts in tripoli. first loon and 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 of an allegation which in terms of our findings was just baseless the point is that there has been no international investigative teams to investigate the nato bombings as well. coalition's mounting pressure on government forces in libya as the u.s. carries out its first predator drone strike a few times correspondent told r.t. that military action in the country is nothing but a u.s. led war under nato cover. in their minds ok so don't these drones have. to tells them. so they can make them to. say.

this is obviously not true and coming back to the. christian right we have been target this is not a us war. africom the african comment there was its first african war. cry to which is the commander of africa then the us would still need to which is basically a good plan so going to work when i was there or in europe nursing is the side in brussels without an american ok now look we have been clear that the us is owed less is out of strike missions in. us creditors underground so it's ruined right off another nonstop. boots on the ground of course britain italy and france are sending combat advisors to libya to move once again cause critics to call for the allies to abate the original un resolution on a website russkie what you think about that development this week this is what

you've been telling us so far seems the majority of you think that the military advisors will simply pave the way for a full scale invasion as well from around the third believe it just serves a prolonged war and hence western interests twenty percent of you skeptical of the tactic will be successful at all as you can see five percent of it hoping it will soften up over a softening up mission if you like for peace negotiations with colonel gadhafi always getting your views on the program last night you think that r.t. got caught. a recent census shows india is becoming an increasingly male dominated society with the birth of a sudden considered more financially lucrative unborn baby girls are falling victim to gender selected abortions and his arteries prostrate are of course next gendercide could have a devastating effect on the country. fincher. it takes a village to raise a child the same 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. these songs should be at least one son. of the family business of the family. dr rajiv is a physician at a hospital and her iana in india sex selective abortion and finding out the sex of evil for birth are illegal but every day a good player sees patients who are willing to do just about anything to construct a family with more boys than girls you have people who come to you. nor. people who have to go. 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 you 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 there are. there are a lot of poor people in the villages who are mostly. the few dari it's like a big obstacle in the like. gender side continues at the rate it's happening now by twenty twenty one india will have twenty percent more men than women one major concern for people here is who do young boys will marry when they grow up if nothing changes in many of us this is a worry for everyone even we have two sons the drilling number of goods does worry us whether we will find wives for our sons. i'm not in some places like harry 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 four

other states they had their families with money and there have been several stories of imported brides who end up for rasin ostracized for their cultural differences. between plants and. people and instances of you. get one value to many it's a rooted mentality that will be difficult to change everybody thinks of a good as a good and wishes that it is not born in the family leaving the future for females in the country unknown prius reader r t india. still to come on the program the digital trash cycle is that the story yesterday there was always the rioters broke out over the me i. really think of that it's ridiculous lust takes over america selling a tide of discarded electronics to countries like india our reporter laurie our finest discusses the battle on the streets of new york soon plus. pizzas from

around the world are here in moscow to showcase the rally masters as it visits the country for the person time. legs the infamous screw around burning pass that was briefly jailed in the united states for a cold blocked his plans for an anti islamic protest outside a mosque a court ruled that the rally organized by terry jones and jew to take place in a city described as america's all would lead to violence is a christine for azhar has been looking at how free speech can spread public safety . 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 that. if we work together as a team as if it is one family they came to send pastor terry jones a message whatever has him tormented i want to pray and ask god to deliver him up

this is to give is important for you he needs help more than seven hundred people attended a service on the eve of the protest planned by a man that has held the qur'an on trial and another man who actually set the holy book on fire to fight what some here deemed the greatest offense with peace. peace. but where some in the city of dearborn are divided are along the lines of two rules of law the constitution and the qur'an actually with that freedom of speech but i think it should be a little bit more stacked with people they get to create problem he has every right to say what he wants to do what he wants this is america this is not the middle east but at least he should not hurt our feelings for some across the country the question is will freedom of speech incite violence. earlier this month

in response to pastor terry jones actions more than 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 in the city 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 this record but the bigger question for many is should there be designated free speech zones or under the first amendment of the constitution should the entire country designated free speech them in their war in michigan christine for the out party. what is he going to say about that story do let us know you can do it by taking a look at our website our team go cause a chance you'd have several stories you see online these economic links to the

interest of the higher the income the heavier the fine drivers in russia's two main cities will soon after paid figure five years for legal parking and speeding than anywhere else in the country we explain more than up with some people details online also america's insatiable appetite for gadgets is turned in the year into anyways dumping ground as we've been reporting in the show check our website and learn about the health and environmental threats this second technology carries. stories less money wondering how americans feel about their countries paying the price for their technology addiction and this week new york resident laurie hard from a stupid question that very question to the streets of the big apple this is what she found that. americans produce about three million tons of electronic waste every year and

countries like india and the dumping ground so how many gadgets have you got this year this week let's talk about that is the word gadget that you're laughing after a girl has a g.p.s. that you are desperately yes you have no way to track where you're going without it . no maps. just not as good but an i phone ended she already has found course what was wrong with it but she needed my phone was a. story yesterday it was almost the right. we think of that it's ridiculous actually why do you think americans are so all about their get . short attention spans i don't know. you guys. i forgot were you talking everybody fade away like you see these people here when they drive because. so is it ok if we just say well everyone's doing it and

someone jumps off the grid still ok to do it too. i mean it is what it is we don't seem to care why is that. it's invisible it's you know somebody else's problems like a civil war in africa if you can't see it it's not really happening do you think people do care and just don't do anything about it or do you think they really don't care i think is interested her and i think industry should create infrastructure for taken aback because people would react. how would we get them to do that. how would we get into that. little action if you like yes i may be figure out some way to make it profitable for me it's always about the bottom line honestly i think you just need laws but the bottom line is that millions of tons of just started gadgets are polluting your planet every year so please do think about that the next time you feel that gadget last coming up.

a wealth of natural resources bringing them to the surface is why abdullah and the crew from the by coal mining company are here and will come out. of the east i'm sorry to be overcome copper deposit is divided into three sectors in these areas we have real food hundred thousand liters in pointing to. a stage of this deposit. it's expected to take five years to get from the exploratory phase to full scale as of asian up to twenty million tons of copper only to be buried here and to get to where bob dole and his crew are now has taken nearly six decades copper was first found here in one nine hundred forty nine it's a lack of infrastructure an energy grid made escalation difficult then mining efforts with the fall of the soviet union still the work there began back then as the starting point of today this line was initially explored by soviet geologist and if you take a look at this group here you'll see where their modern day counterparts have dug

to verify their findings to determine the viability and capability of estimating the mine. long ago that we need to develop this deposit the absence of engineering energy transportation facilities and infrastructure made those mines impossible past delays and present challenges architecting the work of investors or the hopes of local government. projects means more investments in new jobs but it will also provide additional tax revenues into the entire region and new social programs will be launched some ecologists war and all skill as giving profitable could harm the environment the regional government and the by car mining company have agreed on a strategy that they insist will preserve the local ecology and enrich the economy so that the people of the trans by call region will not only benefit from the beauty of the area but also from at the time gets a period resources stay seated and our team. looking at it well says install fewer
