a thousand dead and put the city on the verge of a humanitarian disaster fighting in other parts libya's of a stalemate despite nato airstrikes and knocking advances by government troops and i know many now fear that those countries involved in a military action in libya may face a severe backlash at home. if nicolas sarkozy hoped intervening in libya and the oil every coast would boost his popularity it's backfired he's now one for the most unpopular president 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 head of the national front party he's expected to knock him out of next year's presidential election sarkozy wants pledge france will never again kill people in africa the pen told me he's broken that promise so that this won't be seen as a pos colonial reaction by france be hating like it well it's policeman deciding who's bad and who's good the president's policies

more extreme valuable short r.t. paris. britain italy and france have announced that they're sending combat advisors to libya in a move which prompted a fresh wave of criticism towards nato says hiding behind humanitarian motives in an attempt to sidestep the un mandate says john in the south i think the original demand from the rebels inside of libya and the area around the cities in western libya was simply no fly zone to stop most of these coming in and some humanitarian aid the red line for them was ground troops and now we're beginning to see the first steps towards a creeping. critical arrival of foreign or foreign forces and this is exactly what happened in vietnam and in various other conflicts and it always starts with it's about humanitarian intervention and then where is it leading to and this i think is a very very dangerous move and what we're seeing in libya unfortunately is like the

best way to put it is really the west hijacking this revolution and in this process they're making very very difficult for the revolution succeeded. 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 pouring binge see the talk over there it's a warning ticker of u.s. debt we explore the grim financial forecast for america in the next hour here on the sea and also. a gadget fever for some and a tide of waste for this developed countries rushed to keep up with technology people in poor states and lifted through obsolete electronic trash because of all those stories some of it's coming your way in the next. but year after the notorious oil spill in the gulf of mexico those implicated in the accident are playing the blame game is b.p.'s use of the companies involved the

gulf coast residents are sure it will do its best to sweep the findings under the rug i'm going to reporting from washington are. you concerned she turned from the u.s. center for versity says significant changes must be made in the u.s. to prevent future mistakes u.s. government has played a role in having more oversight of after oil and gas that promised regulatory reform to really rein in this industry and it's kind of gone wild and yet at the same time we're seeing a year later permits they're going forward with still no none of the adequate compliance with environmental law that the commission found was some other problem that led to the beauty disaster in the first place so they really need to change the culture of the u.s. government. and start doing a proper analysis and looking at alternatives to shore oil drilling not risky.

consequences of the gulf of mexico oil spill are likely to stay in the area for years to come as is the case with a lot of disaster for five years on the legacy of chernobyl is that a remarkable history of the worst nuclear catastrophe from the exclusion zone. to become a seeking to follow the story of a terminally ill russian convict and he's desperate bid for euthanasia. this week you see the major breakthrough in the fight against terrorism in russia the country's security forces killed two key figures in the north caucasus region both have links to al qaeda believed to have been behind many attacks here in russia as. reports russia's north caucasus witnessed a number of successful anti terror operations last sunday a key militants leader. was killed in dagestan russia's antiterrorist committee says that the most wanted man. has personally pointed to the hand of militants in

dagestan in october last year now it's also believed that the village on up was an moved in almost every terror attack that happened in the region and was also linked to the moscow metro bombings last year he was among the four terrorists that were killed a week ago and that is does lead it hailed the operation a success now so that the militants only understand the language of force. because some of the militants willing to engage in dialogue they reject us when we urge them to lay down weapons and return to a peaceful life have you committed so many murders and terrorist attacks you know you understand the language of force meanwhile and not the core as terrorists figure was killed by saudi militants known as smug and yet was soon identified as the chief al qaida agent in the north caucasus he was also precede the bribe the militants absolute religious authority as well as the means. until field commander

despite the string of high profile success russia's security forces still say there is no evidence that russia's most wanted terrorist motto has been killed helps keep a limb an aide said in one of the operations in english it's how we shot it when d.n.a. tests found no presence of him among the dead meanwhile he has claimed responsibility for a number of terror attacks that work for russia and clues in the most cool matter of tween suicide strikes and the goldwing of the capital's main airport still there is no clear information of just where russia's most wanted terrorists might be hiding in the north caucasus. more on the special forces crackdown on terrorists and their history can be found on our website also the suspect in last week's blast in the the russian capital were found with the help of c.c.t.v. cameras you can watch the footage from the metro at r.t. dot com. barack obama has said the soldier accused of handing secret

of people around the world have frolicked him as president obama to move them to a more appropriate this is a victory for those who care about bradley manning and care about human rights he was never to be treated properly or to quantico marine base they were incapable of being fair but he fort leavenworth prison has been moved to has a pretrial detention area where the much more appropriate you're probably in the prison population having meals with other people will be much more. appropriate place for someone who's never been convicted of any crime in fact we don't believe this prosecution should continue all the years the whistleblower it was exposing work crimes another list used by government officials. european union this week announced plans to increase its budget despite many e.u. members introducing drastic austerity measures to cut spending proposal caused outrage among the blocs finance ministers with britain calling for a reality check and according to your m.p. david campbell bannerman brussels can't even bring its existing budget under

control to the system isn't working i think this report makes very clear but it is no surprise i mean from our point of view here you have the european union for sixteen years in a row they haven't signed off their own account because of auditor's you know so much fraud in their cars they can't even sign them off so it's not a surprise that you know there's a allegations of private jets being bought by certain country leaders shortly after receiving this kind of the aid the whole thing is a mess it needs discipline i think it's better done by nation states but you know i think the british people are wondering what on earth is going on where money is being thrown away whether it's through the door for the u.k. it needless internationally projects. the debate over euthanasia here in russia has been reignited by the plight of a convicted killer in a good idea i mean skin suffers from a painful terminal illness was asking to be released from his misery but the

practice of assisted suicide is illegal in the country as maria fellowship explains . forty five and he's dying and he's still independent static his last six to ten months now lined he can hardly distinguish objects in the backyard of the child by his second sentence for murder his can't understand charity and doctors forecasts he want need crutches for much longer healing a real chance. in a year but i can't live without pain killers wouldn't you but i'm always on drugs if i didn't take them i'd be unable to walk at all. a former soldier and war veteran canady no longer has the energy to find her life and instead his italy fighting for death. and that his health has not always been so bad he

deteriorated rapidly after he was put behind bars in two thousand and seven he was sentenced to eighteen years in prison in other needs specialized treatment and care something it just cannot get here. to die or. what else do i need i used to be a man. now look at me all i'm not even half of a man. the doctor to help him die is officially forbidden in russia before but when i started going who could kill who could facilitate a suicide nobody even the most zealous euthanasia supporters villa said that they would do it themselves because they would become murderers if they did there is a huge debate on whether terminal patients have the right to an. in their own life to escape chronic pain those against euthanasia and they are the majority claim on other things that even hopeless cases can sometimes be the recklessly healed but

a voice from behind bars where miracles rarely happen may change their perspective sure it's usually will go well if they know that the rest of their lives will be suffering but the reason to prevent them from doing that especially those sentenced to life in prison and that many letters from these people they ask for death as life becomes unbearable. for the ninety a strong all of those believer is in asia has been a hard decision and it won't be without its victims on the other side of the prison bars. no i will not allow him to die or that i will not. enough his mother can understand what's pushed her son to seek death but she can't reconcile herself with the reality of that decision. if you dies i die with him what would i leave for all who fall if. he's still alive but he's waiting wishing for death but it's natural all. to central russia.

let's take a brief look now at some of the international news stories this hour in our world updates opposition supporters in yemen the project of the cousins plans to exit office in thirty days time thousands of protesters in the country's capital of amman ali abdullah saleh has been in charge of the state for more than thirty years should step down immediately in the street protests in yemen have been going on since january about one hundred thirty people killed in clashes between opposition loyalists. and several thousand people marched to the center tokyo and another wave of protests against nuclear power most of the protested none of the full switch to clean energy sources demonstrations against atomic energy have become regular in the weeks. and quake and tsunami which damage 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 chernobyl the twenty fifth anniversary of

which is coming up this tuesday result is actually got a chance to report the passing years haven't made the world's most infamous exclusion zone any safer. this still remains the world's biggest manmade nuclear disaster and that happened because of a failed experiment when the employees at the juggle nuclear power station tries to bring the reactor to a temporary stop and the experiment failed and resulted in an explosion the whole area around the lawns of thirty kilometer radius was contaminated some parts of bell or was and everywhere across the european continent traces of radiation were felt even reaching the eastern coast the united states now this still remains historical landmarks still some people trying to draw parallels with fukushima accident nowadays but many experts agree that the accidents have been completely different not only in the causes of the disaster but also in the immediate aftermath because the levels of radiation which were detected injured in that you

know area twenty five years ago were still much higher than the ones in fukushima 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 one hundred years and was safeguard the chernobyl reactor from emitting more radiation to the atmosphere so indeed it's twenty five years old but the legacy of clearly lives on and the chernobyl story still making the headlines everywhere across the world it's absolutely horrifying to be in the exclusion zone i've been a regular visitor the since i say two thousand five more over a recently went for there for a week to film a fresh documentary which ologies us would 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 we're just looking at the debts out of. the exclusion zone in general you realize how costly how costly a man's mistakes can be and that is definitely the main purpose of explosions on 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 enclosing the reactor complex with a protective tone well you know how to count nuclear power expert from greenpeace who told me why the plant's maybe a little too and vicious. the first estimate that they can build the door six months i only have to remind you of. two crew or four channel before we had a first or copper goes and. before we have

a second cycle because it's something that's very easy to do don did for also take a lot longer than the six months because. the fuel needs to be removed and it is a very very complex operation and even. if he could come out again why don't they say look there's a space to just quickly what all those long term radiation fears and once this sarcophagus has been put in place what are the long term phase after we've just been here what's this what the situation is there chernobyl where radiation levels are higher than what we've got and i would say what is the long term outlook there for. 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 of this happening now in. unless you would remove the first half meter of shortstops all you always have higher radiation levels in the surroundings that are so high that people will not

be able to live there for quite a long time. coming up to twenty six minutes past the hour here now in the russian capital i'll be back with a look at the headlines for you in just a few moments stay with us live here in moscow.
