a ceasefire agreement with the rebels this is a position that russia has advocated continuously during this conflict which the peaceful resolution to is taking it into the political realm this is something that's so gay lover of champion of the russian nato summit earlier this month in berlin for this to happen he said that all sides in this conflict including the coalition forces must be one of the un security council's resolutions regarding libya so that arms in part they are on the no fly zone today russia is offering concrete support to help monitor a peace deal and ceasefire to help take this conflict into the political realm. and on the ground in libya the first u.s. predator drone strikes have reportedly destroyed a multiple rocket launcher belonging to be troops near the coastal city of misrata rebels say at least thirty six people have been killed there over the weekend after fierce fighting with army forces these reports come despite the government's promise to retreat and allow tribal forces to negotiate with rebels a seven week siege by gadhafi troops in misrata has left

a thousand there and put the city on the verge of a humanitarian disaster fighting in other parts of libya is at a stalemate despite nato airstrikes aimed at blocking advances by government troops however many mail feel that those countries involved in the military action in libya may face a severe backlash at home. if you can do so because he hoped intervening in libya and the oil free calls would boost his popularity is big for oil is no boy for the most people presidents in the history of france's fifth republic. according to the latest opinion polls the main beneficiary has been marine le pen as you know the head of the national front party she's expected to knock him out of next year's presidential elections sarkozy wants pledge france will never again kill people in africa then told me he's broken that promise so this will be seen as a past colonial reaction by france by behaving like a well spotless man deciding who's bad and who's good the president's policies

a myriad of former colleagues by an inflexible personal style x. finance minister. lift the ruling party this month admitting they called to work together with human rights minister ram a yes they has quit too because they let colonel gadhafi use france he said as a math to wipe the blood of his feet while hosting him in paris now he's hunting the same man down sarkozy also sacked his integration advisor for disagreeing with him to recommend that man told r.t. the president doesn't know how to compromise. there's no place for twentieth century colonialism city but there should always be room for negotiation it's all leaves nicolas sarkozy with few friends just when he needs them it's become a lonely life inside the presidential palace but mr sarkozy not only a political opponent of pulling apart is for policy even for were allies like

nobody to be in the top of his cereal. to fill plans work with the president for over seventeen years the former premier fears libya's turning into another afghanistan a deeply unpopular war with no clear paired line we cannot go. any country without knowing when we will go out i think this is the listen that we did not treat from afghanistan in its global diplomacy it's the same problem and. france is facing criticism for what some see as heavy handed intervention in the ivory coast the result is a presidency experts mort at home and abroad for his their ribs for souls more like a monarchical republican trailing both lopin and the socialists in his bid for reelection in twenty twelve because he looks on likely to mellow it leaked memos

from a voice as claimed his only chance of winning is to make his policies even more extreme than usual r.t. paris. britain italy and france have announced they're sending combat advisors to libya in a move which many say is the first step towards a ground operation then a list afshin rattansi however thinks there could also be another player involved. definitely china is part of this equation that worrying washington it's a rather more than european union leaders definitely one only has to look at khartoum to see chinese investment in africa and get out he was one person who for all its privatization and later suddenly coming back to the western fold he still didn't like african american defense network some people would say that china ironically has some. colliding ambitions as it were when it comes to libya because bahrain and saudi are currently in the throes of demonstrations not covered

on western corporate media and ironically china needs a stable saudi arabia and bahrain for its own energy needs so u.s. interests and chinese interests are one in the same to a degree. and international monetary fund experts fear conflict in africa may trigger a new economic downturn which would be devastating for the u.s. . america's financial management is best defined by a nonstop borrowing binge see over there it's a running ticker of u.s. debt we explore the grim financial forecast for america later in the front. but first a year after being a tourist oil spill in the gulf of mexico those implicated in the accident are playing the blame game is a piece of other companies involved but last recourse millions of gallons of oil to gush into the ocean results is going to turn reports the impact of the environmental disaster on human health is be ignored. five million barrels of

communities almost half said they had experienced health problems like coughing skin an eye irritation or headaches that are consistent with common symptoms of chemical exposure it's very very clear when you look at the ingredients both of which is considered so. it is considered as a hazardous material coupled with the ingredients in the toxic dispersants and when you mix those together it actually creates a substance or times more toxic and these are exactly the types of chemicals that are truly literally in people's blood many of the fact that gulf coast residents and those involved in. cleanup of the golf say they're alone in their fight with the consequences of last year disaster maureen biologists are saying it's going to take at least twenty years for the gulf ecosystem to recover president obama signed a country's environmental agency to investigate health effects of the spill but many gulf coast residents are sure agency will do its best to sweep the findings under the rug i'm going to check out reporting from washington our. marine

conservation specialists professor richard steiner says a small percentage of the on has been recovered but the operation will have little effect. there is a playbook that governments and they will industry use in danger oil spills and that is to understate the size understate the impact and overstate the effectiveness of their response that's exactly what the us administration has done throughout b.p. disaster is what the oil industry has done and the truth of the matter is this was an enormous release of a toxic substance into a productive postal system the damage was extensive it will be with us for years unfortunately there is no effective way to respond well to a major release of oil in a marine environment they only recovered about three percent of the total volume of oil that escaped their containment efforts the consequences of the gulf of mexico oil spill are likely to stay and hold the area for years to come as is the case

. mediately yes protests in yemen have been going on since january about one hundred thirty people killed in clashes between opposition loyalists. several hundred people or more through the center of tokyo another wave of protests against nuclear power most of the protestors in one of the fools which to clean natural energy sources demonstrations against atomic energy have become regular in the weeks following the quake and tsunami which damaged the fukushima power plant causing radiation leaks. well from the onset of the japanese nuclear crisis the unthinkable was that fukushima could become the next the twenty fifth anniversary of which is coming up this choose day let's hear the shots he reports the passing years having made the world's most infamous exclusion zone any safer. this still remains the world's biggest manmade nuclear disaster and it happened because of a failed experiment when the employees at the general nuclear policy station tried

to bring the reactor to a temporary stop and the experiment failed and resulted in an explosion the whole area around the lawns and thirty kilometer radius was contaminated some parts of belarus and everywhere across the european continent traces of radiation were felt even reaching the east because the united states now indeed this is still remains as a historical landmark still some people trying to draw parallels with fukushima accident now adays by its many experts agree that the accidents have been completely different going only in the causes of the disaster but also in the immediate aftermath because the levels of radiation which were detected injured in the chernobyl area twenty five years ago were or still much higher than the ones that. are right now ukraine has managed to persuade several world countries to invest over five hundred million euros into building a new circle for this which would last for another hundred years and with safeguard the chernobyl reactor from the more radiation to the atmosphere so indeed it's

twenty five years old but the legacy of clearly lives on and the chernobyl story is still making the headlines everywhere across the world but it's absolutely horrifying to be in the exclusion zone i've been a regular visits of the since i say two thousand five more over a recently went through there four weeks of film a fresh documentary which as you will be able to see on monday and walking through these dead empty streets always gives me a creepy feeling despite that i've been there more than a dozen times the area is completely deserted and just thinking that this was once a communist paradise a role model city full of those who are living and working at the chernobyl nuclear power station now it's completely deserted and lifeless this feeling is of course a very frightful and horrifying indeed this area will never be inhabited again because the full out period of many nuclear particles. can reach up to twenty thousand years and indeed just looking at the sound of. the exclusion zone in general you realize how costly. mistakes can be and that is definitely the main

purpose of the exclusion zone right now to remind the world that such mistakes must be made again. japan has announced that it plans to end the fukushima crisis in six months by closing the reactor complex with a protective boom but according to who i spoke to a little earlier here in our nuclear power he's a nuclear power expert for greenpeace he said that that may be a little too. first estimate that they can build the door main named six months i only have to remind you was. two crew or four channel before we had a first copper goes and now before we have a second sarcophagus it's something that's very easy to the dome needs to also take a lot longer than the six months because once a dorm is over the fuel needs to be removed and that is a very very complex operation and. really fifty could you could

come out again and went on a slug is it still took just quickly about what all these long term radiation fears and once this because it's been put in place one of the long term face off or we're just being here what's the situation is there chernobyl where radiation levels are higher than what we've got to focus and i mean so what is the long term outlook there for fishing. well the the radiation levels around fukushima nuclear power station are sufficiently high to keep people out for also a very long time i think you'll be able to compare that happening now in you. unless you would remove the first taught me to. always have higher radiation levels in the surroundings that are so high that it will not be able to live there for quite a long time. just a few minutes and i'll stay with this life this is our team.
