finance ministers with britain calling for a reality check according to your m.p. david campbell bannerman brussels can't even bring its existing budget under control. clearly the system isn't working and i think this report makes up very clear. but 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 accounts there 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 surely that after receiving this kind of the aid the whole thing is a mess it needs discipline and 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 e.u. or through the u.k. it need international aid projects. all gets out there on the cloth on their if you

we're covering here at our teams our own let me tell you something what else we've got lined up on the let's get our news coverage on the easter sunday celebrations that russia's main cathedral plats terms of all the world marked the most holy day also explore what these three looks like russia style hall style. russia's rivers and shakers present bit better gather dollars are. doing plastic rounds. channel. son of russian software tycoon you've been accustomed as he has been released after kidnapped last week police have arrested five people in connection with the abduction of three minutes around some was demanded for the safe release of twenty year olds she was freed cheering aggressions was this operation because the family

culture but when i ask him who could kill you can facilitate suicide nobody even the most ellis you. a disability one would ever say that they would do it themselves if they were the murderers of a good as new york there is a huge debate and whether terminal patients have the rights to and their own life to escape chronic pain for those against euthanasia and they are the majority claim among other things that even hopeless cases can sometimes be directly if you get a voice from behind bars when miracles rarely happen a change their perspective should get the children will be warm and if they know that the rest of their lives will be suffering was the reason to prevent them from doing that and especially those sentenced to life in prison and a good many letters from these people they ask for there because life becomes unbearable that foggy night in a strong all of those delivered is in asia has been

a hard decision and it won't be without its victims on the other side raising the bars. and you know i will not allow him to die i will long. enough his mother can understand what pushed her son to seek death will achieve country can silence out with the reality of that decision. if you don't rise or die with him what would i leave or who fall because he's still alive but he's waiting wishing for death but it's natural oh. what information are too central russia. time to update here on some most today is world news a position source is a serious claim people have been killed showing new clashes between antigovernment protesters and the points that follows the worst violence since the unrest began once a lot of forces opened fire up the weekend don't want to either there are also scrawled

in l.a. crash sites escalating recent days even though present a loss a clue to the decades long state of emergency. opposition officials in yemen have kept us apart. to allow the president to leap faster daystar while giving him unity from prosecution they also objected to a clause that would let the country's parliament which was dominated by presidential moralists to reject his resignation thousands of protesters in the capital sanaa are demanding a leader of the last a late to step down immediately and and he does a two year old to thirty two year rule of mass demonstrations subsumed around one hundred thirty people killed. several hundred people have marched through the central focus another wave of protests against nuclear energy most of the test has demanded a full switch to clean natural sources they have been regular demonstrations against atomic energy of weeks we're going to earthquake and tsunami which damaged

the fukushima power plant causing radiation leaks. from the onset of the japanese nuclear crisis the most feared scenario was that fukushima could become the next chernobyl trying to find a bouncer which is on tuesday but as archie's let's see it our shasta reports the passing game is have not made the world's most notorious exclusion zone much safer . this still remains the world's biggest manmade nuclear disaster and it happened because of a failed experiment when the employees at the local nuclear station tried to bring the reactor to a temporary stop and the experiment failed and resulted in an explosion the whole area around the plants 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 coast the united states now indeed this is still remains a historical landmark still some people trying to draw parallels with fukushima

accident nowadays but it's 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 still much higher than the ones in the 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 for another hundred years it was safeguard the chernobyl reactor from a meeting more radiation to the atmosphere so indeed it's twenty five years old but the legacy of chernobyl clearly lives on and the chernobyl story 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 two thousand and five more over a recently went for there for a week to film a fresh documentary which all of these 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 for 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 three guys and 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 the exclusion zone right now to remind the world that such mistakes must be made again. to crown plans to end the fukushima crisis within nine months by enclosing that reactor complex. young herr accountable nuclear power expert for green please explain why the idea maybe a little too ambitious. the first estimate that they can build the door in six

months i only have to remind you of. two crew or four channel before we have to first across the gears and. the four 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 one of the dorm is a. fuel needs to be removed and it is a very very complex operation and even. if you could come out to get the radiation levels around fukushima station are sufficiently high to keep people out for also a very long time i think we'll be able to compare that for this happening knowing in. unless you would remove the first off we. always have higher radiation levels in the surroundings that are so high that people will not be able to live there for a long time. and tonight is headlines all the way off first up right here on our.

home. we have seen the damage it has done to our environment more chemicals with their

bare crops we do not want any more new g.m.o. foods. of course as a mistress so there was a bit more experience and i'm just i'm just appalled but that's allowed to go on record. here eating this unfortunately because we don't know what's in it there's no labeling there for it being used like the board for the experiment could be used as guinea pig. will now we have more questions than we have had three guards in like. twenty five years and four nights. from the most devastating nuclear disaster in history. a quarter of a century old.
