a local still living inside the twenty kilometer evacuation zone are being ordered to leave here as a road to the infamous exclusion zone around two novel because of stablish twenty five years ago but some who should have left never did arches are going to go with you to find out why. the exclusion zone on the border between russia and belarus. more than a hundred kilometers from chernobyl if you see some of us radioactive fallout from the nuclear accident in. 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 draw still people living all around the area. at first glance rushkoff looks like an ordinary village most

here live off what they grow in their gardens and the livestock they keep up with the government says that it me from the animals far from the local feed 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 is an equivalent housing outside it but actually getting it as a problem. personally for the fire trail noble is the mayor of the nearby town of numbers a. hidden myth 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 with.

a thousand people died in the seven weeks each i cooked up the troops meanwhile the libyan government says three people have been killed in nature as stright sneak attack was in central tripoli so john donne who has just returned from a military mission in libya thinks the decision to intervene in the country was ground let's. be free of the u.n. resolution was the claim was that gadhafi had bombed. three particular districts in tripoli. push loon and 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 so sovereign nation on the basis 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 is piling the pressure on government forces in libya as the u.s. carries out its first predator drone strike asia times correspondent bartold r.t. that military action in that country is nothing u.s. led war under nato cover. in domains ok so don't these germs have a. two thousand and one so they can make them to. sit. on friendly this is obviously not true and coming back to that. we have been told that this is not a us war the we're going to start by africa the african command there was its first african war between the hawks where general carter ham which is the commander of africa then the us switched to nato which is basically the banter going to go to

the army in europe nursing is decided in brussels without an american ok and now that we have been told that the us as of last thursday it is our strike mission send. us clear to us on the ground so it's wound right off and not it nonstop. boots on the ground of course. it is thirteen minutes past the hour you are with r t is still to come on the program a lap through trash cycle. those of the story yesterday there was almost a riot that broke out over the i don't really think of that thing is ridiculous and america's obsession with the latest dart it sounds a way of tired out to college it's a conference like india archaeologist people in new york play think twice before ditching their digital garbage. infamous qur'an burning pastor has been briefly jailed in the hugh asked after

peace. but were some in the city of dearborn are divided are along the lines of two rules of law the constitution and the qur'an actually at freedom of speech i think it should be a little bit more it stuck 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 of designated free speech the henry ford community center the public library city hall and right here and i think this record but the bigger question from. money is should there be designated free speech zones or under the first amendment of the constitution should the entire country a designated free speech zone and there were michigan christine freeze out party. well as a major downsize to america's long as for the latest gosh it's at our home we're reporting on how developing countries all paying the price or harshman is takes to the streets of new york to find out of people carrying all cost. americans produce about three million tons of electronic waste every year and
