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 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 to succeed. and the international monetary fund the experts fear the conflicts 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 that lot over there it's a running taker of u.s. debt. which explores the grim financial forecast for america in the next hour here on our team. it's a year since mittens of barrels of oil spill to into the gulf of mexico causing widespread environmental consequences health problems to coastal residents but even

though b.p. is given the billion dollars to clean up the damage the people who are affected it's all left to struggle with worse and symptoms are she's going to check on the house the story. five million barrels of oil in combination with almost two million gallons of highly toxic chemical dispersants used to fight the oil spill a cocktail that contaminated not just the water in the gulf but found its way into people's blood a year after the disaster an environmental group tested the blood of dozens of cleanup workers as well as residents of coastal areas they found levels of benzene thirty six times higher than normal girl. arshavin trouble on john mccain even open the problem or. clinton matter and work as a boat engineer he says he was in perfect health before he was exposed to the toxic

necessary prating or they don't want to be caught up in court. and environmental justice group polled residents in several coastal communities almost half said they have experienced health problems like coughing skin and eye irritation or headache that are consistent with common symptoms of chemical exposure it's very clear when you look at the ingredients both the oil which is considered so. it is considered as rather a hazardous material coupled with the ingredients in the toxic dispersants and when you mix those together it actually creates or it's arms 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 beer or lawn in their fight with the consequences of last year disaster marine biologists are saying it's going to take at least twenty years for the gulf ecosystem to recover president obama signed the country's environmental agency to

risky. all the consequences of the gulf of mexico oil spill are likely just. for years to come as is the case with another man made disaster twenty five years on the legacy of chernobyl is there to remind the world of history's worst nuclear catastrophe were forced from the exclusion zone. and a murderous seeking death we thought of the story over terminally ill of russian convicts and his desperate bid for euthanasia. as a major breakthrough in the fight against terrorism in russia last week the country's security forces killed two notorious extremists in the north caucasus both have links to al qaida were believed to be behind many deadly attacks in russia as. russia's north caucasus witnessed a number of successful anti terror operations last sunday

a chief al qaida agent in the north caucasus he was also precede a drive by militant i think absolutely just a story to you as well as an influential field commander despite the strength of high profile success russia's security forces still say there is no evidence that russia's most wanted terrorist. has been killed hopes had been eliminated in one of the operations in english a tail were shattered when d.n.a. tests found no presence of him among the that meanwhile he has claimed responsibility for a number of terror attacks but russia enclosing the moscow metro suicide strikes and the goal 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. and more on the special forces terror crackdown and starting a website and also were forced on hold the suspects of the recent metro blast in

despite many e.u. members introducing drastic austerity measures to cut spending proposal caused outrage among the blocks finance minister calling for a reality check and according to one european m.p. to have it. can't even bring its existing budget under control. this system isn't working and i think this report makes very clear. but there 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 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 u.s. 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 that 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 needless international aid projects. all get all boats around the clock on never seen covering here at r.g.p. dot com and let me show you some well what else we've got lined up on the website to get our coverage of the easter sunday celebrations up russia's main cathedral lascars trends are all the world mark that most holy day also explores what instruments like rational style and also. watch as movers and shakers present the better to get down to. the answer to the marchese camel. brush and software tycoon of guinea because he has been released after being

kidnapped last week police have arrested five people in connection with the abduction of three million euro ransom was demanded for the safe release of twenty year old but he was freed during a russian security forces operation because the family has not commented on the kidnap which saw the youngest child seized on tuesday getting as is behind the development of security software and has an estimated well for eight hundred million dollars because first collab was troops not just computer antivirus company with offices worldwide. euthanasia in russia has been reignited by the plight of a convicted killer could now do you mean skew suffers from a terminal illness and is asking to be released from his misery but the practice of assistants to cite is a little in the country as murray's a notion explains. in r.t.s. forty five he's dying and it's something penned in static is like sixty killings in

ten months. now lined he can hardly distinguish objects in the backyard of the jail where he's serving his sentence for murder his gangrenous transparent and doctors for ass he won't need crutches for much longer really to wheelchair give him i can't live without pain killers. i'm always on drugs they were fearful if i didn't take them will i be able to get all of this but. a former soldier and war veteran cannot be no longer has the energy to fight for life instead he says bitterly fighting for death. in that his health has not always been so bad it deteriorated rapidly after he was behind bars in two thousand and seven he was sentenced to eighteen years in prison in other needs specialized treatment and care something he just cannot get here. to die or to me what else do

i need i used to be a man. now look at me you good girl i'm not even half of them. dr to help him die is officially forbidden in russia. but when i started in who could kill you could facilitate suicide nobody even the most zealous youth major supporters ever said that they would do it themselves because they would become murderers of a good as new there is a huge debate on whether the terminal patients have the right to and their own life to escape chronic pain there is against euthanasia and they are the majority claim among other things that even hopeless cases can sometimes be the recklessly killed but a voice from behind bars where miracles rarely happen a change their perspective sure. if they know that the rest of their lives will be

suffering was the reason to group them from doing that and especially those sentenced to life in prison and i got many letters from these people that ask for death as life becomes unbearable at foggy ninety strong all of those deliver is in asia has been a hard decision and it won't be without its victims on the other side prison bars. no i will not allow him to die i will long. enough his mother can understand what pushed her son to sit down at a cheap country consult herself with the reality of that decision. if he dies or die with him what would i leave people who fall. is still a lie and is waiting wishing for death now that it's natural and i ask her. to central russia. now time to update you on some of today's world news

a position sources assyria claim for people have been killed joe remove clashes between antigovernment protests and the polls the worst violence is the rest again while security forces opened fire at the weekend on one of the serials. skills and early projects violence has escalated in recent days even though present ourselves to the decades long state of emergency. position officials in the yemen have rejected to come to all the president to leave power saturday's time while giving him unity from prosecution they also objected morris that would let the country's parliament which is dominated by presidents loyalists to reject his resignation thousands of protesters and the capital sanaa demanding out to do so late to step down immediately and and is that it to me every ounce of us demonstrations have seen around one hundred thirty people killed. several hundred people have marched through the center of tokyo it another way of protests against nuclear energy goes

to protest is demanded a full speech to clean natural sources have been regular demonstrations against atomic energy in the weeks. tsunami which damaged fukushima power plant causing radiation leaks. from the all sides of the japanese nuclear crisis the most famous scenario was that fukushima could become the next chernobyl the twenty fifth anniversary which is on tuesday but as alexia's just your reports the passing hears 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 that they did your local nuclear power station tried to bring the reactor to a temporary stall and the experiment failed and resulted in an explosion the whole area around the plans of thirty kilometer radius was contaminated some parts of

belarus and everywhere across the european continent traces of radiation were felt even rechy the east because the united states now indeed this is 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 going 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 bill area twenty five years ago 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 it was safeguard the chernobyl reactor from the 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 visitor the since two thousand and five. recently went there for a week to film a fresh documentary which all of these he was 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 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 period of many nuclear particles. can reach up to twenty thousand years and indeed just looking at the debts out of three got down to 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 exclusion zone right now to remind the world that such mistakes must be made again to plan plans

to end the fukushima crisis with a nine month high and closing the reactor complex with. our company polar express for greenpeace explained i think maybe a little too ambitious. first estimate that they can build the door in six months but i only have to remind you of. two crew or four channel before we have to first across the gears and. before we have a second cycle because it's something that's very easy to do dome did 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 even then really. quickly now to get the radiation levels around fukushima the new cars station are sufficiently high to keep people out for also a very long time i think you'll be able to compare that of these happening now in.

unless you would remove the first metre of top shortstops so 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. back with a recap of all top stories in just a few minutes stay with us.
