six weeks after a disaster structure fukushima nuclear plants local still living inside the taj a kilometer evacuation zone are being ordered to leave your compared to the infamous exclusion zone around which was established twenty five years ago but some who should have left but never did. find out why. the exclusion zone on the border between russia and belarus. more than a hundred kilometers from chernobyl. strait europe to follow a troubling nuclear accident in there and you know. people were advised to leave but not everybody has this ceased to be a thriving community of more than five thousand people are the true noble 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 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. of the government says that it made from animals fat and the local food from contaminated land isn't safe to eat. of course we're scared of the radiation we simply can't afford to go anywhere else according to the government anyone who is living in the exclusion zone isn't titled the equivalent housing outside it but actually getting it as a problem. mikhail miller chair of personally for the fire to ennoble as the mayor of the nearby town of know as a. kid miss 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 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. the council rate in the area has gone up by seven times since chernobyl and effect of the compound the nation may not have peaked yet. but it does with what we can in the first few years after chernobyl at least there were 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 from a visit his relative at home eighty six year old husband died of cancer from family contaminated materials 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 worth may be too late for out a can do others here can still enjoy life without the shadow of radiation. either

of their own never see their own screeching. ever though the fukushima plant remains in crisis and g. experts have told r.t. that japan has little choice but to clean up that carry on relying heavily on that power 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 is the environment i am happy in evacuation i mean i think when one of the things when the sign likes and this properly dealt with which are concerned as yet is that we need to look into these this certainly does seem to be the cavs got a high level of pressure. in one of their acts of course the reaction of warm weather events here are the later than the retrospect they should have done that buildup of pressure may have affected the seals within the range of vessel which could have given the roof radios a material suit to come out and i do say having been commentating throughout this that i think the speed of information coming out of the pattern has not been as

high as one would have hoped to tsushima they are getting cooling water into the sensors of the reactor but they haven't got through what's called cold shutdown where all the water inside the reactors are 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 brought under control and they can remove the seal to the third biggest economy in the world doesn't have an awful lot of choices in japan imports eighty four percent of its energy eighty normal sleep dependence on imports of energy problem the middle east and of course. russia and the former soviet union it's probably just freeze practically printed it so it's pretty much used all of it's cold and it doesn't have enormous leverage he will renewable reserves there. with sure novels twenty or thirty of us are just two days away we'll bring you plenty of coverage on what happens at the time and the consequences of the disaster let's ponder you also be

able to catch an exclusive talk around tree on their turf brian legacy of the tour novel lost right from the heart of the exclusion zone. twenty five years of flights. from the most devastating nuclear disaster history. culture of the century his monthly to the stakes. legacy. on the part of. opposition forces in libya have been the preparing a new offensive for him colonel gadhafi is going to tree in the eastern city of watchdog and stalemate for nearly two weeks it comes out of that office also as a retreat from the porch of city of misrata where they faced heavy oh i am from

rebels human rights groups claim it is on the verge of a humanitarian crisis after more than a thousand people died in the seven weeks each by kicked off a troops meanwhile the libyan government says three people have been killed and major asteroids near the toughest compound in central tripoli so you can't turn down who has just returned from a monitoring mission in libya thinks the decision to intervene in the country was groundless. the basis for nine hundred seventy three the un resolution was that the claim was that gadhafi had bombed from the air three particular districts in tripoli. push loon and persia we visited these places there was no indication whatsoever of any aerial bombardment 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 because it is piling the pressure on government forces in libya as the u.s. carries out its first predator drone strike asia times correspondent bartels r.t.u. that military action in the country is nothing party u.s. led war under nato cover in the mains ok so don't these drones have. two thousand and eight so they can make. civilians. this is obviously not true and they're coming back to that. we have been told that this is not a u.s. war. effort the african government there as its first african war

determined. by general criteria which is the commander of africa then to switch to nato which is basically the pentagon to weaponize the army in europe nursing is decided this is without an american ok and now look we have been told that the u.s. is of less out of strike missions in libya and u.s. predators underground so it's wormed right past another nonstop and. boots on the ground of course. you know with archie still to come on the program the electric trash cycle. was at the apple store yesterday there was almost a riot that broke out over the night. what do you think of that i think it's ridiculous that. america's obsession with the latest god it sends a wave of tired out technology to countries like india r t r six people in new york if they think twice before ditching their digital garbage. the

infamous koran burning pastor has been briefly jailed in the us softer accord looks his plans for announce his protest outside a mosque the courts ruled that the rally which was to take place in a city described as america's muslim capital could cause finance archies kristen fossil has been looking 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. but 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'm going to pray and as god to deliver him up this is to him is a preview for you he'd be chill 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 along the lines of two rules of law the constitution and the qur'an and truly with everything of speech but i think it should be a little bit more it struck with people they get to create 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 and i think district court 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 it has ignited free speech them in their war in michigan christine for that our our team. a recent census shows into is becoming an increasingly male dominated society and with the birth of a son considered more financially lucrative unborn baby girls are all in victim to gender selection abortions and authorities british region reports this genocide could have a devastating effect on the country's future. it takes

a village to raise a child the saying goes but in the village of korra about three hours from the indian capital not every child is given a chance here there are twice as many ways 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 who can look after the family business of the family. dr rajiv is a physician at a hospital in hari ana in india sex selective abortion and finding out the sex of a baby before birth are illegal but every day good the sees patients who are willing to do just about anything to construct a family with more boys than girls have. the six or nor. people who have donation. and.

while the villagers in cora can't deny the statistics few 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 dowry to the groom's family before their wedding is that are they both agree with me there are a lot of poor people in the villages who almost do. their feuds already it's like a big obstacle in the like. it can or thrive 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 through the young boy don't 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 or not in. some places like korea are

not the gender ratios are so skewed that some villagers are traveling to other states to five brides for their sons. or poor families are brought in for those they had the family to money and there have been several stories of imported brides who end up bras and ostracized for their cultural differences. between dance. people and dances very. or three brothers have to get one by youth to many it's a rooted mentality that will be difficult to change everybody thinks of a girl as a burden and wishes that a daughter who is not born in the family leaving the future for females in the country unknown preassure either r t cover or india. as a major downside america's lost for the latest. arteries of call reporting on how developing countries are paying the price. to the streets of new york to find out

if people current. americans produce about three million tons of electronic waste every year and countries like india and up as the dumping ground so how many gadgets have you got this year this week let's talk about that is very gadget that you're lusting after right now as a g.p.s. that you are desperately yes you have no way to track where you're going without it basically. no maps as well just not as good but an i phone and she already have a phone course what was wrong with that but she needed an i phone was an i phone i was at the apple store yesterday and it was almost a riot that broke out of it i mean. what do you think of that it's ridiculous actually why do you think americans are so i'll about their get it. short attention

spans. funny jacket out of you guys yes. i forgot what are you talking about everybody when it isn't fade away like you see these people do it right here when they drive because. everybody go to some type of way so it's about ok if we just say well everyone's doing it someone jumps off a bridge the ok to do it too. i mean it is what it is we don't seem to care why is that you said because it's invisible it's you know you should be doing here is somebody else's problems like a civil war in africa if you can say 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 or and i think industry should create an infrastructure for taking about saw because people would react or how would we get them to do that. how would we get into that. little action interest like us and maybe figure out some way to make it profitable for all right so it's about the bottom line. i think

you just need laws for 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 lust coming up. time now for a closer look at some headlines from wrong the world's number of someone's friends in syria has reported a top one hundred thirty after police opened fire on mourners as dinner rolls of anti-government protesters killed on friday last month after his friend shows the security forces opening fire on a crowd of tens of thousands of protestors fun and sponsors to make a stand for local graciously to resign in protest rallies in syria are despite the president's putting an end to the deck is sold for more sensible. so level soldiers have reportedly been killed in an exchange of fire between composure and troops

energy transportation facilities and infrastructure made those lines of possible past delays and present challenges architecture in the work of investors the hopes of local government the project 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 full scale as profitable could harm the environment the regional government and by car mining company have agreed on a strategy that they insist will preserve the local ecology and rich the economy so that the people of the trans i call region only benefit from the beauty of the area but also from its abundance period resources. r.t.e. . and in a few minutes we discover how modern technology is winning the battle against bureaucracy in russia soft i'll recap our top stories for you next.
