1:05 am
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 understand the chernobyl the last release the huge amount of radiation a very short period of time the international commission on radiological protection uses an average of values when they calculate the types of radiation that people are exposed to and those average value is can actually in some situations such as after chernobyl and currently in focus too much make it appear as though people are receiving lower doses of radiation and they actually are you have to take into account the density of radiation exposure as well as it goes so be it is possible that there are there could be significant problems. but continuing crisis in japan has renewed the discussion on whether nuclear energy is needed our global debate is coming up later on r.t. in crosstalk. in my view if your anti carbon dioxide in your anti-nuclear you're

1:08 am
purely on artistic merits but now it's not as simple as. the same symbol the ministry rewarded is now being brandished in mocking protest this russian youth group is angry four hundred thousand rubles of taxpayers' money we give them to a group it calls vandals for vine no the protest only legitimizes their own but. it's a very old world situation when the state's award goes to a group that in fact organizers an action aimed against this date but this is a very important signal to the artists always express society's pains and a healthy society accepts these. but there's been no acceptance of viner's until now. team members still face trial on hooliganism charges for this little stunt british graffiti artist banksy detailed plans and they could kill a seven years in prison. so why the sudden show of state support.

1:18 am
city that lives according to code in orleans gets stuck in this kind of like puritan mentality that's completely antithetical to everything that's happening people come and have conventions here because they know there's a 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 or start saying or psychs can be negotiated but anything else is also. against the law. according to a law called crime against nature it basically prohibits anything other they are ordinary intercourse there's no police out there going into a neighborhood 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 that but it isn't forced
1:19 am
and enforced heavily on the prostitutes of new orleans these are people who can least afford to be charged with something like this or you have to do is have an undercover officer driving around in plain clothes in a plain in an unmarked car and all of these drive around and drive up to people that they believe are are prostitutes or known are known prostitutes. and just ask how much and she answers. she's just opened 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. they are 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 a city whose sell job quietly includes pleasures of the flesh why they need to criminalize sex acts which just about anyone in gage's and almost all of these
1:20 am
cases and up in a plea to probation and finds fines and. and the important part about the fines and fees is that's all revenue 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 justifies hired 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 they're paying for the aging in more prostitution which they get hit again then they get caught again and right
1:21 am
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 john agree with now you can see how some are trapped in the carnival that is new orleans. and if you think they're the only ones. there are others. that are minorities to be continued. time now for a business time date with current account after a short break. welcome to business thanks for joining me which is largest car maker after cutting
