the movie that's the gateway to the grand imperial. towards west coast coromandel. children measure its ability to go. rather see the colonel was her job as a retreat. this side of the world's worst nuclear accident threatens a new radiation exposure is a lack of funds slow progress on replacing the crumbling churn novels or because. you and all you have a. lot of food in the media. while he unravels hope medo will help them benefit from the country's rich resources passports war era story short term likely to crash the blog itself aims to suck up the wealth. i am a scandal sap the war and a bit of our brushes ministry of culture isn't a flyer for awarding of slanderous vandalism but seen as a sign of a censorship free society by others.

coming to live from moscow a.t.m. of the russian capital a marina joshing welcome to the program it may have happened almost twenty five years ago by the dangers of churn obl have no way been consigned to the past and even the tragic anniversary ukraine still desperate desperately seeking money so we can complete a new containment shelter over the remains of the destroyed reactor international donors have pledged more than half a billion euros but that's still short of what's needed to make the side of the worst nuclear accident secure for a century are his legs you should ask your reports. japan's ongoing struggle to contain the fukushima disaster is fuelling the growing anxiety over nuclear energy safety the last time the world was this shared was in the shadow of the chernobyl

reactor explosion in nineteen eighty six but this latest accident demonstrates that despite the great progress made in the last twenty five years as. more these to be done to ensure that safety first approach becomes really interest among nuclear power plant operators governments and great makers japan hopes to seal the site within nine months but back in the days of chilled normal a quicker solution was needed shutting the gaffing hole of the exploded reactor was the immediate way out of a deadly mistake scientists were quick to react to the unfolding catastrophe and managed to build a steel structure over the devastated power station protecting europe from further spread of radiation as a consequence was built in one thousand nine hundred eighty six just months after the disaster but then experts said that it would last for twenty years until two

thousand and six no there are fears that these are cautious might collapse and there are several cracks on the wall of the building and experts believe that this may cause serious danger and serious threat if the circle because it collapsed the whole of the european continent could be contaminated by the radioactive fuel which is still thought to lie under the circle for this new arc is being built by a french company not arca work has been in progress for months but only recently became clear that this billion dollar project lacks financing a week before the disaster spring keep that anniversary managed to attract an additional half a billion euros in age from europe at a dollar conference. we have now been created a real chance to complete the new shelter by the year two thousand and fifteen i. experts are confident it could even happen quicker in just two years and that the new protective layer would last for generations to see their life time for their

use of confinement is supposed to be a harmful years see that is the term to develop technology is. how to manage fuel containing masses how to manage not only how you have to make you already have kuwait's means that your global nuclear power plant could one day be dismantled under the new dawn is unclear but as japan's nuclear crisis keeps the planet on alert there is now a new focus on ensuring chernobyl's dark crossed. look serious ascii art see reporting from your novel ukraine. japan's government is coming in for yet more criticism over its response to the nuclear crisis there was claims emerging that people may be misinformed are the levels of radiation and therefore the dangers christopher simons from the international christian university in tokyo believes it's not being measured properly. on the anniversary of chernobyl we can say that if normal was the world's worst nuclear disaster then the current one fukushima

certainly the most complex and there certainly has been some confusion in terms of the response there is certainly a risk of long term exposure that's a problem in particular the way in which we measure radiation causes people to commit understand the chernobyl last released a huge amount of radiation in a very short period of time the international commission on radiological protection uses average values when they calculate the types of radiation that people are exposed to and those average values can actually in some situations such as after chernobyl and currently in fukushima make it appear as though people are receiving lower doses of radiation than they actually are you have to take into account again city of radiation exposure as well as that goes so it is possible that there could be significant problems. continuing crisis in japan has renewed the discussion on whether nuclear energy is needed a global debate is coming up later on our team across the uk. in my view if you're

anti carbon dioxide in your anti-nuclear you're just pro blackout and with what a global demand for electricity expected to grow by eighty percent over the next twenty or twenty five years we simply don't have an option but to continue to work hard at getting good at nuclear. and stay with our sea for a sense of coverage of the twenty fifth anniversary of the turn up will blast with live reports from ukraine and aspart assessments of the disasters like. twenty five years of fall. from the most devastating nuclear disaster struck. the culture of the century. as monthly of its mistakes.

legacy. russia's art world's been plunged into controversy after an award for innovation went to a giant piece of graffiti that many viewed as obscene nevertheless and bagged the radical our group buying up the fifteen thousand dollar prize after the dog to work on a drawbridge opposite the federal security service in st petersburg and while most people were angered at the action others say it's the message not a form that matters i would bet it has more. this is award winning art according to russia's ministry of culture the sixty five metre phallus whitewashed on a drawbridge in st petersburg has won the twenty ten innovation prize for best visual

artwork self-styled aren't terrorists by now meaning war in russian are the unpopular with us the arts i think it's essentially vandalism a bridge is a cultural and historical monument and anything on it is an act of vandalism and it should be punished not rewarded it's already here in the center of contemporary arts you can see the other entries in the award nothing is stimulating no shocking or innovative as viner's and according to the jury that's why they won purely artistic merit but now it's not as simple as that the same symbol the ministry rewarded is now being brandished in mocking protest these russian youth group is angry four hundred thousand rubles of taxpayers' money will be given to a group it calls fandom for vyner the protest only legitimizes their own that. it's a very awkward situation when the state award goes to

a group that in fact organizers an action aimed against mistakes but this is a very important signal with artists always express society's pain and to help as a state it accepts the support. but there's been no acceptance of viners are until now two men will still face trial on hooliganism charges for this little stunt british b.t.r. banksy detail demands that they could still face seven years in prison. so why the sudden show of state supporters. the minister of culture was afraid of being accused of political censorship and i think he was right and our country is better being afraid of important political censorship than to actually import breezewood. a sea change from four years ago this image of two kissing policeman was banned by the culture ministry for international exhibits fearing embarrassment a curative that it's a bishop was angry yet

a favor back then he lost his job but this time he was on the jury so why is this out then. the touring is a graphic and expressive example of how an artist reacts to a social climate he doesn't specify the target of his protest he simply says that strong protest is brewing in russian society and he created a huge monumental and expressive gesture but how do you draw the line between say this art and vandalism because this is clearly discriminating on. the streets art is minor vandalism but it's not hooliganism it's something intentional that implies ability and something with paint disorder it may cause it's compensated hundreds of times the meaning of their pictures which is painting could be restored on the bridge has become a symbol simply to birds culture because it's the first work at will it is proof of a civil society. court controversy usually at the expense of the authorities

whether it's all it's all not every chief what they wanted to know to write they say they'll donate the prize money to political prisons i didn't see. the more controversial stories that ignited debate in society log on to our website that's our dot com. russian boss is returning to the past for a new war by being decorated for victory day with portraits of stalin but his mixed legacy remains a prickly issue. and one rule for them another for everyone else the anger at the soon to whisk russian government officials have moscow airport by helicopter while the public struggles to get there on the traffic streets oh there's a war on arson dot com.

moscow says it's ready to assist peace and dialogue in libya it's all sides of the conflict here to the u.n. resolutions talking on the phone to believe in prime minister russian foreign positif sergey lavrov said that the main goal now is to prevent further civilian casualties there were reports that gadhafi forces plan to withdraw from the rebel held city of misrata down the opposition claims the siege continued throughout the weekend killing thirty six people overnight a fresh nato air strike damaged several buildings of the khadafi compound in the capital tripoli with a situation appearing to be dad lot are teasing workers going off when they find out the hopes of the libyan rebels and either they'll come true. for years has been struggling to keep his own porch running he claims even. the thousands in rheims to do use of visuals. by the gadhafi or his family. i won't

even begin to describe how hard it was to start this business cannot he has his hands on everything for decades he's been taking money from ordinary people and now it's time for him to be returned. sure small private business does exist in libya with the colonel and his close allies controlling all sectors of the economy it's a huge struggle for any businessman to make decent profit the idea that the revolution will open the floor cares for everyone to enjoy is backed by rebel informers to the military command we have as i told you have a translator. as we have a lot of things libya. economy we are not flooded. and i would invite you. the reason you would see some analysts don't share this optimism and doubt nato is

the guardian angel it promises to be it has nothing to do with humanitarian aid nothing to do with democracy nothing to do with people it's to colonize exploited or steal the resources forty one billion barrels reserves or the war just in africa and the ninth largest in the world there's so much more filling up my gas tank on a midsize corn costs less than ten dollars in two thousand and need to go even promised every libyan will be paid eight hundred dollars every month to share that with revenues but failed to keep his word libya does have the resources to do big business it's just that in the past for decades it was done only by a circle of chosen people the elite now here in the rebel stronghold the locals say they are ready to fight to the end to build a free and prosperous society but is the opposition strong enough to build a whole new regime or can it be that the future of the libyan people has already

been decided for them you got this one off r.t. when guys in libya. are to his military contributor says america's involvement in libya is making it hard for obama to live up to the nobel peace prize he received in two thousand and nine. barack hussein obama passionately logged it and many people waited world public opinion there in leave here the only way to prevent the leaving khamenei tarion disaster and he alluded to genocide that was about to unfold in that country that the only way to prevent it was a humanitarian intervention despite conjuring and it absence of the hard core evidence or even dispatching facts driving mission from the e.u. and us or the european union but one thing is for sure there for america

no guilt prize winner has yet to qualify to become a genuine leader not only for the whole world but at least for the united states. columnist and a former attitude of the sun newspaper calvin mckenzie says there is no reason britain and france should meddle in libya's internal affairs and here's a preview of what's to come in fifteen minutes time. this is libyans fighting libyans and who are we to say who should be running their country after all when i last looked i didn't notice any libyans interfere when the cavaliers in the railheads took place in a revolution or that as far as i could see there was nobody from tripoli. in the french revolution. now is take a look at some other stories from around the world now the opposition in yemen for jack to finance the president's resignation and reportedly valley to step up street

protests earlier the country's ruling party except of the gulf states brokered deal that would see president saleh going in certain days while giving him immunity from prosecution that have been hoped the agreement will put in a hands two months of a massive history shows that have seen around one hundred thirty people killed. in violence continues in syria with at least three people killed by police and soldiers in the northwest of the country that comes after more than a hundred people were shot dead over the weekend when security forces opened fire at a funeral processions of those killed earlier clashes has been the worst escalation of violence since anti-government protests began more than a month ago. the american city of new orleans is no not just for its beauty but also its strict catholic rules but artie's went to investigate what happens when the nineteenth century laws still and force clash with

a contemporary vices of the famous st. this is the carnival of colors and sounds. that is new orleans louisiana. mississippi river port city awash in its southern roots its colorful french creole charms and its overtones of piety. it's very catholic very catholic very bad just even very very the a city that lives according to code your lines get stuck in this kind of like here it's a mentality that's completely antithetical to everything that's happening people carmen have conventions here because they know there's the french quarter they know there's strip clubs prostitution. this is bourbon street. for about two hundred bucks you can buy yourself sex more specifically straight up intercourse. with

a new orleans street walker anything else oral sex anal sex can be negotiated but anything else is also. against the law. according to a law called crime against nature it basically prohibits anything other than ordinary intercourse there's new police out there going into neighborhoods saying you can't have you know sex with your husband you can't have oral sex with your wife right no one's actually enforcing but it isn't forced and enforced heavily on the prostitutes of new orleans these are people who can least afford to be charged with something like this right now you have to do is have an undercover officer driving around in plain clothes in a plain in an unmarked car and all of the do is drive around and drive up to people that they believe are are prostitutes are known are known prostitutes. and just ask how much and she answers. she's just open this huge hole in her

life. a huge hole because a crime against nature charges punishable by as much as a twenty year prison sentence incredibly large fines and. data you're talking about a woman who's in her early twenty's who has to register as a sex offender for the next fifteen years. for city whose cell job quietly includes pleasures of the flesh why they need to criminalize sex acts in which just about anyone in gage it's not all of these cases and up in a plea to probation and finds fines and fees. and the important part about the fines and fees is that's all gravity of coming in to pay for the court system to pay for police to pay for the jail to pay for prosecutors' offices simply put an antiquated nineteenth century law. passed on the guise of christian values we are all only. maybe being used today still to make money it's

a five year felony you can use that to encourage people to plead guilty very quickly it justifies higher by the hookers often instead plead guilty to a lesser charge of prostitution pleading down to a misdemeanor means you can charge higher fines and fees how do prostitutes who usually can't afford those fines and fees pay for them for payment for aging more prostitution in which they get hit again then they get caught again and right they have to engage in more prostitution it's a vicious cycle this is an old law to stupid law it's a law that a lot of people even within the criminal justice system don't agree with now you can see how some are trapped in the carnival that is new orleans. and if you think they are the only ones. there are others. in our team to be continued. well here's a change of pace for you here in our business is next with kareena.

well considered program good to have you with us russia's largest comic after vases cutting its investment program until two thousand and twenty by one billion euro the move may undermine the ambitions of asked about and its partner a no need to maintain a market share of around forty percent reduction will come from cutting one assembly line and streamlining the in-doors logistics but the investment review also means that instead of an annual output of one and a half million cars by two thousand and twenty the lines may end up with just one point two million bottom line up and its partners plan to invest five billion dollars by twenty twenty cents a source close to the company. now is take a look at how the markets are performing japanese shares as high on hopes this week start to the earning season will bring positive surprises indexes have been higher this hour the hong kong stock exchange still closed because we call it

a pretty easy on the screen is a thursday session. here in russia has brought a closing picture in mind that showed moderate growth on low volumes european as european and u.s. markets were closed for the easter holidays. now as take a look at something and it's movers on the minds expanding stocks were among the main gainers woods burbank up over sands gain just the knowledge despite the announcement of an offshore exploration deal with. metal was up around two and a half percent precious metal prices. russian equities have already lost the recovered from a major correction in the middle of last week sparked by s. and p. cutting the credit outlook for the u.s. for high of my talk of dialogue says the rebound is likely to continue in the coming days. on the announcement of bias and simply announcements of. reduction of those states we shall master selling and this was mostly russian

selling and they selling from page france actually we haven't seen any long only funds selling i think by friday last week i mean investor we're still in cash and still do we're short positions of the market so that's why we haven't seen a new selling in russian markets on friday and i would expect the continuation of or anything any settling in on monday as well as for the major drivers for the russian market this week i think will be fed decision probably that will be expected no changes then the situation with s. and b. s. and these are two very important level of three hundred forty right now it would break through these levels i think will be very supportive for all markets globally and for russian market as well. precious metals are holding their heads up building on last week's work against drivers of the falling dollar and investors seeking safe haven to offset markets all of this up almost four percent plus silver is gaining around eight percent. to mccutcheon explains why precious metals have

become so attractive for investors. see paving through in the past thirty years has been the us dollar and u.s. treasuries clearly that's not really the case anymore of particular the standard and poor's. note that came out on monday so really in the absence of anything else what the view and that's clearly we're striving for dollar forward not there are other commodities as well not commodities through it's a real thing and it's a way of preserving their purchasing power of you well the problem with most other commodities is the taking delivery of them and it's almost impossible in as people sort of see that the ability of the average investor to buy something a commodity that has absolute value world you'll find it's a lot of silver and gold are really the easiest convenient most convenient was liquid way of doing that. despite growing old prices energy not the best. bets on the russian stock market and say a heavy tax burden is weighing on the sector's growth prospects i like. to be

capital highlights and other interesting sectors to buy the mills and mining because it is an interesting sector for sure. was in line for say a war cry production which is linked to that sector. there's a lot of construction going on i think in terms of what the government is that is supporting is obviously growth in housing we're still by meters per person per capita will we're far behind europe so we need to play catch up and build a lot of housing so i think real estate sector but in light lagging behind in general and it's the seer of the cement manufacturing that it particularly. with that which is going to agriculture production truck production is going to be of interest so that's why we will see good. share price because i was as a sector for growth. i mean that's the one for another business.
