hear quite a bit to the field where this additional if this will be starting still he will be bringing all the details on that. hello this is artsy from moscow it's kevin now in here with you this hour in our top story out of london pm moscow time it's been six weeks since japan lost control over the fukushima nuclear plant for the authorities still unable to plug lethal radiation leaks from the onset though the worst fears are there could end up like a big another chernobyl. one of the worst affected areas there were a quarter of a century on the disaster continues to haunt local residents. exclusions on the border between russia. although it's more than a hundred kilometers from chernobyl it received some dickhead years straight back

to follow trying to nuclear accident in one hundred eighty six people were advised to leave but not everybody has this used to be a thriving community of more than five thousand people after chernobyl it was deemed unsuitable for living and its inhabitants were a house in fact if you measure the radiation around here it's still several times higher than normal but just walk down the road and rest still people living all around the area. at first glance bush cough looks like an ordinary village and most here live off what they grow in their gardens and the livestock they keep. the government says that to me from animals fatten the 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 is an equivalent housing

outside it but actually getting it is a problem. of who personally for the fire truly noble is the mayor of the nearby town of numbers they call him it's the 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 so small those people wouldn't be able to afford a house in most places around russia so many people choose to stay here. the cancer rate in the area has gone up by seven climbs and strong mobile and their fact of the contamination may not have peaked yet. with what we can 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 idea that you can watch the ceremony after midnight only for

dr fenner i visit his relative at home eighty six year old husband died of cancer from handling contaminated materials and she says she plans to live out the rest of her life here noticeable out that way i was never given a chance to leave and now i'm too old to go anywhere else but we're maybe too late but out of to move others here can still enjoy a life without a shadow of radiation. you there are no party cretin. with the fukushima crisis in japan raging on there's little choice but to learn from past mistakes and continue with nuclear energy says malcolm grimston who spoke to me as an 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 into the environment and have been evacuation i mean i think we one of the things. i like that i'm just properly done with which i can start and this year is that we need to

look into these it certainly does seem to be the case but the high level of pressure. in one of the american prosperous in the moron where they vented rather than later than the new york they should have done that buildup of pressure may have affected the seals within the richter vessel which could have given the roof radio to 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 as far as one would have hoped to tsushima they are getting cooling water into the sensors of the react so but they haven't got through what's called cold shutdown where all the water inside directors are a liquid that means there will be effects of radioactive material but they were going to want to start looking at a long solution until they have the centers of those reactors broaden the comptroller 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 for all the middle east and

of course. russia and the former soviet union it's common industries hard to keep finished it so it's pretty much used all of it's cold and it doesn't have enormously valuable renewable reserves they're. welcome grimston told to be there with two nobles twenty fifth anniversary just three days away we'll bring you coverage on the disaster and its consequences this monday in the age of we're able 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 history. a quarter of a century has been told of its mistakes. the legacy of children. on r.t.

. look at the latest developments in libya now and kill gadhafi troops have reportedly pulled out of 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 tribal leaders to deal with the rebels instead even rights groups say more than a thousand people have died in this one soldier in the siege by gadhafi troops in the city now on the verge of a humanitarian catastrophe meanwhile the libyan government says three people have been killed by nato airstrikes outside cafes compound in central tripoli as not to succumb chandan he just returned from a monitoring mission in libya he told me thinks the decision to intervene in the country was groundless. the basis for nine hundred seventy three un resolution was that the claim was that gadhafi had bombed from the air three particular districts in tripoli subsume 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 start 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. and the coalition's mounting the pressure on government forces in libya is the u.s. courage that its first predator drone strike they should times correspondent purpose about told us that military action in the country is nothing but a u.s. led war and a nato cover. in their minds ok so don't these drones have. two thousand and eight so they can make sense of. so. this is obviously not true and coming back to the. accuracy of why we have been

target this is not a us war. for the african command it was its first african war. by general carter which is the commander of africa then switched to need to which is basically the pentagon to go to the army in europe nursing is decided in brussels without an american ok and that look we have been told that the us. is out of strike missions in the. us on the ground so it's wound right off another nonstarter. boots on the ground of course thoughts of purpose britain italy and france are sending combat advisors to libya to move once again because critics to call for the allies to a baby of original un resolution on our website ross and what you think about these latest developments so far this is what you've been saying tonight majority of you

think that the military advisors will simply pave the way for a full scale invasion but a third of you still saying it's just so the supreme law of the war and hence western interests twenty five percent about their view skeptical if in fact it will be successful five percent hope it's a softening up mission before peace negotiations with colonel gadhafi could hear from you you can always cast your vote our teen dot com. millions of christians around the world are celebrating the religious feast of easter and the russian capital thousands are flocking to the country's main cathedral in preparation for tonight's special mass r.t. so first or just from the central moscow very good evening again of course we see orthodox and catholic christians mark easter on the sago. i don't want. yes. the celebration doesn't fall on a fixed date. and all that yelling calendar. by the lunar calendar celebrations on the same day yeah it might be me but it's

a major celebration here in russia. it's going to be taking place around ten minutes time no. i quite say yeah it could be true and every year thousands of people flock to attend the service we've already had this round five thousand people inside already later on and the president and his wife will be joining. us well now the people. in history. and historic building that it was actually completely destroyed in one thousand nine hundred thirty one with dynamite and it was rebuilt in the night. and as he said it's going to be starting in around ten minutes we're going to be bringing you all the details we certainly are going to join sort of a father from the russian orthodox church to talk us through what we see. you know

if you have a flavor of what's going on behind you bring you something more from you later. on so you can watch live coverage of the. process also of the website that's it out. to do the news for now though a recent shows india is becoming an increasingly male dominated society with the birth of a son considerable financially lucrative unborn baby girls are falling victim to gender some like to the portions it is not is pretty straight are found this gender side could have a devastating effect on the country's future. it takes a village to raise a child the same. 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. there should be at least one son. luke off of the family business of the family. dr rajiv gupta is a physician at a hospital and her iana 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. these six or nor. people who have to go. on. to anything while the villagers in cora 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 their reward there are a lot of poor people in the villages who are mostly due to illness the few adare it's like a big op stick in the. gendercide continues at the rate it's happening now by twenty twenty one india will have twenty percent more men than women in one major concern for people here it would be of young boys will marry when they grow up if nothing changes. this is a worry for everyone even we have two sons a dwindling number of goods does worry us whether we will find wives for our sons are not in some places like the gender ratios are so skewed that some villagers are travelling to. other states to buy brides for their son. 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 khorassan ostracized for their cultural differences. between plants. and

instances of you. or three brothers who get one by you for so many it's a rooted mentality that will be difficult to change everybody thinks of a good as a good in and bush is that he is not born in the family leaving the future for females in the country unknown preassure either r t cover or at india. an infamous qur'an burning pastor was briefly jailed in the united states after a call blocked his plans for announcing islamic protest outside a mosque court ruled that the rally organized by terry jones and to take place in a city describes america's muslim capital could lead to violence christine for a look at how free speech can threaten 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 it.

would work together as a team as if as one family they came to send pastor terry jones a message whatever has him tormented i'm going to pray and as god to deliver him or my missis to give me is i pray you for you he'd need still 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. peace. but where some in the city of dearborn are divided are along the lines of true rules of law the constitution and the qur'an actually it would at freedom of speech but i think it should be a little bit more strict with people they get a 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 the city hall under local laws here there are four designated for. the henry ford community center a public library city hall and right here in one thousand nine hundred thirty court but the bigger. in for many years should there be designated free speech zones or under the first amendment of the constitution should the entire country designate free speech there in dearborn michigan christine freeze out r.t.

. if we take you through a couple of stories we got online tonight i figured out siegel called the higher the ink that we as a five drivers in russia's two main cities will soon have to pay bigger fines for legal parking and speeding with elsewhere in the country is a story for as you said interesting people and supporters perk of moscow right now we'll explain more on voting. also america's insatiable appetite for gadgets has turned india interest even waste dumping check out our website to learn about the health and environmental threats that this second hand technology carries but sort of see dot com as well. i did see that stories left many wondering how americans feel about other countries paying the price for their technology addiction this week new york resident or half mistook that very question to the streets of the big apple this is what she found. americans produce about three million tons of electronic waste every year and

countries like india end up as the dumping ground so how many gadgets have you bought this year this week let's talk about that is very casual that you're lusting after a noun as a g.p.s. that you are desperately yes you have no way to track where you're going without it basically you know maps we got just not as great but an i phone ended she already have a phone course what was wrong with that that she needed my phone was on my phone i was at the apple store yesterday and it was almost a riot that broke out over the new. do you think of that i think it's ridiculous actually why do you think americans are so all about their gadgets. and i shortened response i don't know. you guys you know. i forgot what are you talking matt everybody has some take away like you see these people right here when they drive because. everybody thought of some type of way so

it is that ok if we just say well everyone's doing it sometimes off a bridge that's ok to do it too. i mean it is what it is we don't seem to care why is that you simply it's invisible it's you know you should be doing is somebody else's problems like a civil war in africa if you can see it's not really happening do you think people do care and just don't do anything about it but do you think they really don't care i think is interested or and i think industry should create an infrastructure for taken aback saw it because people would react. how would we get them to do that. how would we get in through that. tunnel the reaction in interviews like this. and maybe figure out some way to make it profitable for him right now is about the bottom line is the i think you just need laws but the bottom line is that millions of tons of just guarded gadgets are polluting your planet every year so please do think about that the next time you feel that gadget last coming out.

underground to take up. natural beauty reaches across russia strands my call region and beneath it a wealth of natural resources bringing them to the surface is why abdullah and the crew from the by car mining company are here and what a comment. we are with the eastern side of the town copper to project is divided into three sectors and these are areas we drilled thirteen thousand meters in twenty two it's the first stage of this deposit. it's expected to take five years to get in the exploratory phase to full scale as a nation of the twenty million times of copper only to the period here but to get to screw are now has taken nearly six decades copper was first found here in eight hundred forty night with a lack of infrastructure in energy grid me escalation difficult in mining accidents start with the father still being union still a work there began back in its history of today this one was initially explored by

soviet geologists let me take a look at this group here you'll see whether modern day counterparts have dug to verify their findings to determine the liability and capability of escalating this mine when just long ago that we need to develop is deposited at the absence of engineering energy transportation facilities and infrastructure made those runs of possible past delays and press. challenges are entering the work of investors or the hopes of local government the project means more investments and new jobs but it will also provide additional tax revenues into the entire region and new social programs will be launched some ecologists their full scale as 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 encourage the economy so that the people of the trancelike whole region will not only benefit from the

beauty of the area but also from its abundance of buried resources. are. it's coming up to eleven thirty pm this saturday night in moscow just ahead of easter sunday let's bring you live coverage as we've been promising you that festive ceremony from the cathedral of christ the savior i'm joined by father he'll be rasheed we'll take you through the service for the welcome to the studio thank you for taking the time i know it's a very special also a very busy night for you so thank you for talking us through what we're going to see over the next half hour i guess across and save a cathedral ok we'll bring you those pictures of the moment we saw sarah furthur reporting from outside the cathedral just a little earlier on you described there we go these are the latest live pictures coming through. tell us what's going to happen now in this half hour up to midnight here in moscow and the other start of easter sunday if you would right now they're going on. to be a little madams which will start. at the midnight to symbolize that was
